The sixth evil
By. Namikazenarutok12
9 A.M. HOKAGE'S OFFICE
"Welcome to our lovely village. But, I must question your motives, as you did not register with the guard and are therefore currently trespassing in Konoha." Naruto said as he walked into his office, the two Anbu behind standing ready at guard. The two women had startled him, being there as he entered the office in the morning. Not because of any killer intent, but because they both looked familiar. The one on the left was vague. But, the one to the right he remembered in great detail. She looked almost exactly like the pictures he had of his mother.
"We have a good reason to be here, dattebane," the unknown woman said confidently, smiling an uncomfortably familiar smile. Naruto's head jerked up in surprise. She was more and more like his mother with each passing moment. He was growing more and more curious of her true identity by the second.
He had so many questions, and didn't know which ones to ask and in what order. "Who are you?" was the only thing he could get out of his mouth. A flash of red caught his eyes and he stared at the girl. She smirked displaying spinning Sharingan in both eyes. Naruto was shocked. He simply could not believe what he saw.
He uttered again "Who are you?" The two Anbu quickly turned, as did Naruto, 'someone is coming' passed as a silent message between the three. Sasuke entered, only showing his surprise by the slightest of raised eyebrows. He hadn't expected people be here this early, and had wanted a word with the Hokage before the rush of paperwork and confusion began. Silently, he appraised the two women, his hand cautiously gripping the handle of his katana in case he might wish to use it.
His eyes widened as he actually focused on the dark haired girl. He saw that face almost everyday. In the mirror. His grip on the handle of his Katana tightened, and the material squeaked in protest.
The still unknown women took that opportunity to begin "We are old citizens of Konoha, although I am originally from the Land of Water Pools. I came here when I was 12 when my sister Kushina became the nine-tail's vessel." There was a moment of tense silence. "If you haven't gathered by now, I'm your aunt Naruto." Naruto gasped he considered all his friends and his two fiancés to be his family but a living close blood relative this was unbelievable. "This is Sayame Uchiha, and if I'm not wrong, that makes her Sasuke Uchiha's sister."
The dark haired woman chose that moment to speak up. "I know you are both in shock but our world is in danger and there are things we need to discuss." She was incredibly professional, but her voice held an undertone of superiority.
"Ok" Naruto began "Bird, Cat please summon all of the idle Jounin and high level Chunnin to the council room, but tell Hinata to come to my office right away."
A quick "Hai" was the response. The two Anbu vanished into little puffs of smoke.
Ten minutes later Hinata entered and looked inquisitively at the strangers, and then Naruto and Sasuke. After she was informed of the situation a privacy seal, was placed on the room to ensure no one else would know what was discussed between those walls. Hinata activated her Byakugan to tell if the women were being truthful. Chakra patterns would waver when untruths were told by all but the most skilled liars.
Umiko began "I guess I should begin with how Sayame and I left the village." The others waited for her to continue with bated breath. "Kushina and I were close with Sasuke's mother, Mikoto." She gestured at Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata. "When you three were about two years old, I had planned to say goodbye to your mother and then leave the village to go back home."
"While I was saying my goodbyes, she explained talks in the clan of a Coup De Tat." Sasuke nodded. He had been told of the attempted overthrow of the council. "She knew that Sasuke would be protected as the youngest if anything went wrong. She asked me to take Sayame, because she didn't want anything to happen to her in confusion. I, of course, accepted." Hinata nodded confirm the truthfulness of the previous statements.
"We mastered Senjutsu under the foxes and lived there peacefully keeping up on the news of the ninja world," continued the red-haired woman. "In the last 16 years while we were gone great evils have been beaten but the foxes urged us to return they sensed a great disturbance in thee ninja world. They sense the great darkness prophecy has come to light, and in case you do not yet comprehend someone of great power and evil has come and they have brought with them the black tiger summons of the world."
The room was silent you could have heard a feather falling. The chill that Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke felt interrupted the silence. They all knew the prophecy. Hearing Sayame say it was an entirely different experience. It was like ice-water dripping flowing their spines. It was the most ominous thing the three had heard. Not only because of her voice because of the message and the fear they held.
"The one who first saved the world has gone, the ones with the evil eyes have been blinded, the one who used snakes for evil has been swallowed, and now the one with the tigers has come and the twenty ninja of the generation must stop him. If they fail the world is sure to fall and it will not rise from the ashes after it burns."
The chills reverberated through everyone and Hinata looked at Naruto for comfort. He took the sleeve of her jacket and pulled the shorter girl into a hug. Sasuke looked lost, his sister coming gave him much happiness and hope for an Uchiha clan in the future. But now this… the prophecy risked taking away everything. His friends, his sister, and Sakura.
He bit his lip, hands flexing and releasing at his sides. He wanted to... he wanted— Sasuke jumped in surprise when his elder sister grabbed him by the shoulders and hugged him. "You never could ask for a hug could you?" She squeezed him tight, her hugs just as all encompassing as they had been before. "It's going to be okay, you moron," she promised. He fisted his hands in the back of her shirt. She smelled like his childhood before the massacre. After that it had only smelled like blood, fear, and abandoned homes.
Everyone in the room smiled. Naruto discussed the affairs and state of the village and asked them to come during the official council meeting tomorrow at noon, where he would explain to them and council officials his plan-of-action. They accepted and Naruto sent two Anbu to escort them to the newly named compound Uchiha-Namikaze compound where they would be staying.
Two Hours Later: The Council Room: Special Task Force
"Today several things have come to my attention Sasuke and Hinata have been briefed, as they were present." He paused nervous about addressing his friends.
"Before I explain the situation I will give you the basic plan Sasuke, Hinata and myself have come up with." he smiled widely at Shikamaru "of course I'll leave the details to the world's #1 smartest and most lazy strategist."
"How troublesome" was Shikamaru's mumbled response. Naruto ignored it and continued.
"The Konoha 12 as well as the Sand Siblings, my other fiancé and our two visitors will be going on the mission."
A general audience of loud "what?" came from Sakura, Ino, Chouji and Kiba. Shikamaru mumbled something along with Tsunade.
Shino however questioned Naruto asking. "Not that I question your judgment Hokage-sama" Shino was cut off "How many times must I tell you to call me Naruto, Shino?"
Shino continued "Well, Naruto, what kind of mission could require three Kage, one of which is a jinchuriki, and 15 Jounin, leaving out the two guests?"
"One dealing with the great prophecy of darkness" after this was said gasps and moans filled the room.
"I will to talk to Mei, and I have written each of your clan heads to give you special training for the next two weeks until you leave. However, Ten-Ten will train with our guests; Lee with Guy and Kakashi; Sakura with Tsunade." He then turned to face to turn Shikamaru "Is Temari in town?" Shikamaru gave a quick nod.
"Well, go with her to Suna to talk to Gaara and Kankuro, explain to them and the Suna council the severity of the situation." Shikamaru nodded again.
"Go out and do not speak of this to anyone, for Tsunade and I have to meet with the council tomorrow and I would never hear the end of it if they didn't hear of this from me." he paused happily smiling at his Shinobi "you are dismissed".
"Hai" was the response of everybody as they walked out together, Hinata and Sasuke stayed behind, as did Tsunade. Seeing this Naruto told Hinata to head home with Sasuke telling them he had to speak with Tsunade. They left and the two Kage discussed their plans for their council meeting tomorrow. Naruto started his walk home.
Hokage's Office 8:00 am
"Hello Shikamaru, Temari." as the two entered the office. Shikamaru saw the stress behind Naruto's smile as Temari answered for them.
"Hello Naruto-kun" she said with a smile that soon faded into a stern face, as she knew that this was not a gathering between friends but the assignment of an important mission.
Naruto continued, "Temari-Chan I am sure Shikamaru has explained the importance of this mission" the blond girl nodded.
"This is a B-class mission because of the sensitivity of the subject matter. You are to go to Suna and tell your brothers and the council about our current threat as well as to ask your brothers to join us on this endeavor." turning to Shikamaru "you are to convince the council to allow Gaara to join our squad." chuckling to himself
"While it is because Temari is from Suna that you will go on this mission, there is another reason. The Kazekage has asked to have a chat with his sister's boyfriend. Now, I have asked him not to kill you but you two are to avoid certain activities that could result in the lose of my top Jounin strategist, understood?" Shikamaru sighed as he thought "How troublesome" and Temari laughed at him. Naruto dismissed them telling them to leave at 10.
"Temari-Chan would you like to have breakfast with Chouji and Ino before we go?" Temari nodded to Shikamaru's question.
Chouji's favorite restaurant 8:20 am
Chouji and Ino were delighted to be invited to breakfast so they ate and talked about what their upcoming mission would be like. The topic of Gaara being so close were shook off by Temari, but Shikamaru grumbled about how he and Naruto were the only ones who would be dealing with their girlfriends sibling, and how lucky Chouji was. They parted ways around 9:30. As Chouji and Ino had some training to do. Temari and Shikamaru headed to the apartment they now shared to pick up their things.
Ten o clock Konoha gates
Neji and Hinata had been passing by on their way to the Hokage tower and wished the couple luck on their mission to Suna. Through the entire meeting though all Shikamaru could think about was whether Gaara and Kankuro would kill him for his sister moving in with him. He didn't care how evil the black tigers were, those sand brothers of Temari's were worse. "How troublesome," he grumbled. With that he and Temari turned away from Konoha to the forest and began their journey to Suna.
*Well that's it. I hope you enjoyed, but whether you did or not please leave a review. thanks for reading*
Also this is an AU where Sasuke never went to Orochimaru, but still killed Itachi and then defeated Danzo, the the war resulted in the akatsuki's defeat and Tobi and Madarra are dead. Lastly in this story Naruto is 18(all the other ages are adjusted as such except for Mei who is about 24) Umiko is 36 and Sayame is 21 and left when sasuke was two, that's why he has no recollection of her.
