Chapter 2: "These demons have no hold on me, they got not power over me,"
—
"So hand over that loot to me, you oughta call me Killer B "
Now, Naruto wasn't sure what he expected when he was halfway through the Land of Lightning.
"Keep it bright, man! See the light, man! Or else you are gonna have a fight, man!"
So Naruto forgot how cool Killer B could be!
He didn't expect to meet him right outside of the village with his team, pointing at him, declaring him to be a Jinchuuriki and then rapping.
He also didn't expect him to ask… he did ask, right? For some 'loot'.
"What are you, some highwayman!?" Naruto shouted, pointing back with a scowl. "I'm here to warn the Raikage!"
"Not like we can believe your word, blondie." The big-chested girl called Samui said.
"Look who's talking…" Naruto grumbled, pulling out a ladle and throwing it to B, who caught it easily.
"I like him, he's got style, and he shared some loot with me and mine " Killer B rapped. If you could call it that.
"He gave you a ladle!" The dark-skinned boy Omoi called out, his fingers gripping deeply into his face. "What if it is some kind of distraction for a seal that can absorb Chakra so fast to become a explos-"
The ladle was taken by the redhead of the group, Karui, who hit Omoi mid-speech, sending him flying. "Huh, that this is actually useful."
"Of course it is, I got it from a smith that couldn't give me any nice weapons…"
The Land of Frost was rather barren and not that great of a place to stay. He had one event where he helped some blacksmith transport a few crates, and he got a ladle.
A ladle with the strength of a mace.
"Look," Naruto sighed, "my name is Uzumaki Naruto, as your sensei there said, I'm the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi."
"An enemy Jinchuuriki has appear-" Omoi meets ladle, again.
"Look!" Naruto pulled out his papers. "Allowed by the Hokage, I don't wanna be a ninja for Konoha, they don't like me!"
"So… you want to join our village?" Karui asked, looking him up and down. "You don't really look like a ninja, more like a samurai really."
"This armor? I got it from some wannabe swordsman who challenged me. He was good, but not that good." Naruto boasted. Of course, 'I got it from a some wannabe swordsman' sounded more like he took it from his dead cold hands… "Ah, Killer B, what do you know of Akatsuki?"
"Red clouds on black cloaks, I haven't heard much~" He couldn't stop. At least the gifted ladle made him happy, kind of.
"They hunt Jinchuuriki." That made the team turn serious, "what they want, I can't say, but they are gathering all nine."
He couldn't say it because he didn't actually know. What he knows is the warning of the Hokage.
"Their ranks consist of S-Rank criminals, either out of skill or crime." Naruto continued, his hands going to his documents again and turning them around. "The Sandaime Hokage gave me a warning when he allowed me to leave, I think it's to keep me moving and safe from them. I wanted to warn the others."
Naruto wasn't a deceitful person. He lied a few times to get out of some situations, but he wouldn't betray anyone's trust. Especially not his comrades.
Not that they knew. They forgot about him like Konoha.
But it seems his Charisma check worked, and all of them nodded.
"We will believe you if you follow us and hand over your katana." Samui declared, stepping forward. He nodded and gave it to her, before grabbing his kunai pouch. "No need, I don't know how skilled you are with the sword, but you won't be able to hurt the Raikage when you need to grab a kunai from the pouch."
"Ah, right, that guy was fast!" Naruto said, remembering his short fight with the Yondaime Raikage. B's team looked at him as if he was some idiot for not knowing that.
"Let's go!" Karui shouted, grabbing Omoi who was unconscious from the repeated hits. The team moved towards Kumogakure again, this time with Naruto. "Are you actually any good with this thing?"
"Oh no…" Naruto paled. "How could you say that!? You are going to summon them!"
"Summon who?"
"Events! Like…" A loud explosion was heard and directly in front of them appeared… Maron? "What are you doing here!"
Maron looked differently. His sword was shinier, his armor replaced by a jade green outfit. Furthermore, he didn't look as bored as he did before.
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Did I ever tell you my name!?"
"I have come to fight you my rival!" Maron declared loudly.
"I JUST MET YOU TWO DAYS AGO!" Naruto shouted back at him. "Hey, gimme my sword!"
Naruto didn't wait for her to do it, he just took it and strapped it to his side again. He had learned that mentioning things in passing could lead to events rather easily.
Things like 'Are you strong?' or 'I wonder if there are any bandits…'
A challenger has appeared. Accept the duel?
Yes or No.
"I will fight you, but leave me alone after this!"
"I expected nothing else from my rival," Maron smiled broadly.
'He didn't even listen to the last part,' Naruto sighed.
Maron, a samurai
2000 HP

"You got stronger, eh?" Naruto grinned despite himself. If he appeared more often, he could train his Kenjutsu on him. But he realized, he needs to train his Suiton more, if he couldn't do that he would fail against enemies that knew how to handle a swordsman.
Dodging a blow from the left, Naruto tried to stab Maron's arm.
"Hey, where did you get your finger fixed?"
"Don't make me laugh, any swordsman that knows how to cut off a finger knows how to fix them up again!"
"Not like that'll help if I take your arm!" Naruto said, stepping forward slightly and blocking Maron's sword by the hilt with his left arm. Quickly replacing the sword in his scabbard he jumped back again and gripped the hilt.
"Iaido!" But this time, Maron copied him, and he realized. Maron's Iaido was as fast and strong as his, he had trained these last two days, and if anyone knows how fast dedicated training can bring you forward, it's Naruto.
"Oi, you copy-cat!" Despite his words, Naruto sounded more amused than anything. He wondered if he could have had that with Sasuke years ago. "USE YOUR OWN TECHNIQUES!"
Naruto jumped backwards to prepare another strike and Maron stood, his legs spread and the sword pointed at him. Maron's hilt was held right besides his head while the sword pointed forward…
'I can't go forward, he will cut me up…' Naruto realized. Right now, he could try Iaido through through Maron's defense, but his enemy was prepared for that. 'The moment I hurt him, I would lose an arm, or worse.'
And so Naruto smiled. This was fun!
—
"Do you think we should help him?" Karui commented as the two swordsmen ran at each other. "And why isn't he using any Jutsu!?"
"He has pride in his blade," Killer B commented, "like a ninja he has to sneak up on them quicker, with his finger on a trigger like, like he's drawing a sword! This is combat, man, this is war!"
"Who are you calling 'man'!?" Karui was about to jump him when Samui stopped her.
"His sword, he doesn't carry it long, but he has experience," Samui explained, "furthermore, didn't you hear? It's not the first time they fought. Maybe he would see it as dishonor?"
—
And Naruto realized something too. This stance wasn't as perfected as his other techniques.
"What did you tell me the last time…" Naruto prepared his blade and ran at Maron, "you will never beat me with a technique as sloppy as this!"
"I DIDN'T WORD IT LIKE THAT!" Maron shouted, turning around his sword and bringing it down far faster than the stance let on. But Naruto just rolled forward, the sword cutting a bit of his hair.
Before Maron could do anything, Naruto's hilt found one of the few places he could hit without blade, between the legs.
—
"Forget what I said, this boy has as much honor as a shinobi." Samui sighed. "Not… cool."
Killer B winced and envied Omoi for being unconscious. "This was brutal. Combat, man, this is war of two unflinching wills!"
—
"DIE!" Maron shouted, lying on the floor with his hand trying to protect whatever remained of his crotch.
Maron defeated.
Obtained 'Kenjutsu Scroll' - This scroll holds a few techniques for Kenjutsu.
Before Naruto could comment on it, Maron disappeared again. Only this time Maron was visible as he ran. "I will get you the next time!"
"I didn't know a guy could have such a high voice…" Naruto commented.
"Whoa, blondie, you got skill!" Karui grinned. "We have to spar sometime!"
"Sure, whatever, can we get to the village before more come?" Naruto threw his sword to Samui and turned to the large mountain they would have to climb to reach Kumo.
"Hey, wait! If you aren't with us you get into trouble!" Karui runned with him, still holding Omoi's still form while sliding him through the dirt.
"God no, there are two of them…" Samui sighed. "Not cool at all, let's go B-sensei."
Killer B was distracted though. His hand holding his small book he began scribbling some notes.
'To the beat of a samurai, ninja can't reach it, if something stands in your way, you don't need ninjutsu to beat it.'
It seems Killer B found interest in samurai.
"Sensei!" Samui called out. "We need to go!"
—
"HAHAHAHAH!" Karui laughed at Naruto's stories. They were only stories of course, nothing to do with plot relevant happenings. But a Sensei who wears a mask behind a mask to prank his students?
"Yeah yeah, laugh it up, you should've seen our reactions." Naruto muttered. "Nobody knows what he looks like under that mask! Except those that see him eat, and even that he does so fast you can blink and miss it!"
"Halt!" A Kumo-nin stood in front of him. "I need a way of identification."
"He's a resigned ninja of Konoha," Samui explained as he pulled out his papers. "He has some information for the Raikage and he gave us his sword to show he didn't mean any harm."
"Are you sure? I heard an explosion a few minutes ago."
"Yes, it was by this guys rival here," Karui pointed at him. "And he totall-"
Killer B clamped his hand over her mouth. "Do not repeat that, let's just say he beat that."
"And why is Omoi unconscious?" The gate guard asking, his headache increasing.
"This awesome guy right here gave me a new weapon!" Karui, freed from Killer B's hand, called out. She brought out the ladle.
Omoi woke up in that moment and jumped back, behind his sensei and pointed at it.
"I told you it was dangerous! See, an Uzumaki! Seal masters, he probably made it impossible to break!" Omoi shouted frantically.
"Uzumaki… Naruto?" The other gate guard asked. "Did you scribble 'Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki' here?"
"Yea, B already knows, so I guess if I am open about it, people wouldn't wonder what I have to hide." Naruto's logic may sound good, but it's doubtful many people will trust him.
"… do you want to join our village?"
"Stop asking me! I like being free!" Excuse of every bad missing-nin ever.
"Just… go, please. Before he begins," As if jinxing it, B began to rap.
"Do the impossible, see the invisible, row ro-"
"GO!"
—
"Your ninja are awfully pushy." Naruto commented.
"Only when Sensei is involved," Samui said, stretching. Naruto didn't ever look at her breasts. Which could mean two things, he had more control than others or he didn't like women.
'The first is doubtful, he's too impulsive.' Now, if he knew what she thought he would loudly deny it, but because he didn't a rumor could easily spread.
Of course she didn't know that fighting for the sake of the world can take thoughts of romance out. Not that breasts had anything to do with romance.
… not that Naruto actually realized that himself.
Kumogakure was quite different compared to Konoha. It was on the top of a mountain right above the clouds, and many buildings were built into them. The village didn't have that "homey" feeling Konoha had, but it was a class all on it's own.
The Raikage tower if it could be called such was a gigantic blue thing between two mountains.
"BEEEEEEE!" Naruto heard from above them, one of the windows in the tower exploding outwards before A came jumping out. "Why are you so late?"
The Raikage was like his brother a tall dark skinned man. And giant muscles. His pale blonde hair was combed back and he had a small mustache and goatee.
"Hey, bro, you see we were distracted, but we came here as so-"
"SHUT UP!" The Raikage shouted again, a lack of indoor voice present. "Samui."
"We met Uzumaki Naruto here halfway the way, he is the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and here to warn us about an organization that hunts for the Bijuu." Samui explained hastily. Better not provoke the Raikage more.
"You…" A looked irritated by something before grabbing for Naruto's face and pulling on his cheeks. "You look like the Yondaime Hokage…"
"Tshash rightshh…" Naruto got out and freed his face from the Raikage. "I'm his son."
The game couldn't really stop him when someone else mentioned it.
"WHAT!?" Even B was surprised.
"And what's the reason you brought a Konoha shin-" Naruto cut him off, showing him his papers. "Gahahahah! The Yondaime Hokage's son resigning! That's gold! Hey-"
"No, I don't want to join." Naruto sighed. "They asked already, I am here to warn you."
"Raikage-sama!" They heard a voice and some steps. "I told you should use the door! The repair costs for the window every week are stacking up!"
"Ah…" The Raikage looked slightly embarrassed. Slightly. "This is Mabui, she's my assistant."
Like many Kumogakure residents she had dark skin and strangely silver hair that reminded him of Kakashi.
"Let's get up to my office."
—
The Raikage didn't use the door again. For the others it took a bit longer to reach the upper floor.
"What is this about Akatsuki?" The Raikage asked him.
"Akatsuki, red clouds, black cloaks. Mercenaries to gather money, but their actual goal are the Bijuu." Naruto answered him. "I don't know who their members might be, but all of them are supposed to be on par with the Kage."
"Hmph!" The Raikage wasn't impressed, and as far as Naruto heard, he wasn't much different the last time. He seems a bit calmer now that no war looms over them, but without Killer B being taken, he has no reason to care.
"I don't really care if you believe me, or if you are taking the threat seriously," Naruto told him honestly, "but if your brother is taken, I know you will fight."
"Killer B can take care of himself," A told him. "I thank you for the warning though, you are allowed to stay in the village for the meantime. The ANBU will watch you."
Visited 2 of the 5 Great Villages!
'You've been awful quiet, haven't you?' Naruto nodded. The Raikage accepted that and dismissed him. "Heeey, someone wanna spar with me?"
"I'll take you on!" Karui shouted, he eyes looking as if they were glowing.
"No ladle," Naruto honestly regretted giving that to them. "It's B's either way."
Before B could begin to rap, A grabbed his whole head with one hand and growled.
"Youuuu… fool!" B was thrown against a wall, to the displeasure or Mabui who just made another note in a small book.
—
"Don't you have to debrief or something?" Naruto asked Karui when they reached some empty training ground. "Damn that's a lot of rocks…"
"We are on a mountain, idiot." Karui told him. "We are lucky that we are high enough to avoid snow. Dunno how that works exactly."
A challenger has appeared. Accept the duel?
Yes or No.
"Yeah, sure, let's just fight. No Jutsu?"
"Screw this, I'm a ninja!"
Karui of Kumogakure
2000 HP
900C
'She is, her Chakra is rather high…'
"Suiton: Large Projectile!" Naruto began, better to give her no chance to counter with her own Jutsu. Sadly, she was better than that and jumped to the side before stabbing the scabbard of her sword into the ground and using it to change her direction towards him.
Killer B's student, he reminded himself.
"Kumo-Ryu: Front Beheading!" He heard her shout and her sword was far faster than any of Maron's techniques.
Pulling his own sword he blocked the strike barely and… wait, why did he only have 2000 HP?
During a spar the HP are set equal to make sure no-one is seriously hurt.
Does that mean she usually has more HP? Is every person he meets some kinda monster!?
Now he couldn't put the sword into its scabbard for an Iaido. She was too fast and…
"Raiton: Swallow!" Her sword came from above, not thrown but kicked by her knee as she did a front flip, stopping on both of her hands and then spinning around, reaching for a kick.
She wanted him to jump, he could see, if he stepped back he would get hit, if he jumped, the sword would pierce him, if she managed to kick him he would be on the floor.
"Kawarimi!" Naruto got out in the last moment, but Karui wasn't finished and grabbed the sword mid-air. She was smart. Not close to Shikamaru, but she had tactics.
And he did not.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Three clones stood in front of her, all with their own swords. "Iaido!"
The three clones rushed at her, forcing her to block. Naruto himself smiled widely. Fun! Much more fun than Maron!
"Suiton: Large Projectile!" The distracted Karui was hit, but his clones were taken with her and she was thrown against a wall, too wet to use any close range Raiton.
"Alright, that's enough." The spar was broken up.
"Wha-" Karui stood up and glared at the interruption, "Darui-san!"
"Darui?" Naruto asked. The guy with the cool black lightning and Storm Release? And what a cool sword! That reminded him of Zabuza!
"The Raikage's right hand man," Karui told him, "why did you interrupt our spar, Darui-san?"
"Naruto needs to see the place he stays for now, you can spar later on." Darui told them.
"You could've waited until the end!" Both Naruto and Karui shouted.
"I don't have all the time in the world and Naruto isn't someone you could just give to any ninja." Darui sighed.
"I feel like I'm some object…" Naruto muttered. "Did Omoi tell you something? You shouldn't listen to him, I'm good…"
Darui sighed again.
—
"Niiiice!" Naruto ran through his new room. Which was a big room, no kitchen or something but a bed and a window and a fridge!
"There's a bathroom too, don't bother hiding something there, we would know."
"That sounded really weird, Darui-san." Naruto said dryly.
"Yeah, whatever, enjoy your stay." Darui left.
Now that Karui went to her team and he had his nice room Naruto pulled out the scroll he got from Maron.
There were only 3 techniques in, one even Suiton!
"Suiton Kenjutsu: Crushing Blade: Infusing the blade with water takes the cutting power, but increases crushing power to destroy weapons or handle enemies with less lethal force. Ohhh, that's nice!"
Suiton Kenjutsu: Crushing blade learned. (Lv.0)
"Zigzag Snipe: Holding the blade close to the floor, use your other hand to change directions while pulling it up." Naruto read. "That sounds really easy, it doesn't sound any faster than normal."
Kenjutsu: Zigzag Snipe learned. (Lv.0)
"Okay, to the last… that's the technique he used, wasn't it? Counter Blade… that sounds boring. Hold blade on your eye level while pointing the tip at your enemy and the hilt next to your head… yeah, that's the stance." Naruto muttered to himself. "Point the tip at the enemy's sword and cut along it's blade to hit him… I don't get it!"
Kenjutsu: Counter Blade learned. (Lv.0)
"Now I need some place to practice them…"
—
A few hours later he could use all three techniques more or less well. What confused him though was something else.
'After reaching Lv. 2 in Large Projectile and Iaido it became much harder leveling them… Maybe I should use Kage Bunshin?'
Greater men could train their whole lives and reach a pinnacle of skill that would be impossible to reach for the untalented.
"Does that mean I'm not allowed to cheat?"
Yes.
"Asshole."
"Who are you talking to, kid?" That was… Nii Yugito, right?
"Ah, no one?" This better not be another event.
"The Raikage told me to get you. Nice swordplay, by the way." Yugito complimented.
"Thanks." Naruto said, it probably wasn't. Not some no-name ninja telling him about some old lady who fell from a tree or something.
—
"We decided that we couldn't just trust you," Mabui explained to Naruto, "so we want you to take a mission with Yugito here, if you complete it for us you can enter the village as guest whenever you want."
That was too easy. But… trust missions and reputation and all that were part of the game right?
'This is an event!' Naruto screamed in his head, Kurama snored. 'Hey you dumb fox, what are you doing?'
"I'm trying to sleep, wake me when something interesting happens."
"I accept, what are we supposed to do?"
"Due to Konoha's increased border patrols since… a certain situation, we had problems conducting diplomacy. Shimogakure and the former Yugakure are allies of ours," Mabui elaborated on the situation, the Raikage just sat signing some papers. It looked like without her the village would break apart, "We just barely got the official agreement from the Land of Ricefields to travel through it and reach Takigakure. We wish for you to join Yugito in protecting the appointed diplomat."
QUEST: Takigakure's Trouble - Join Yugito on her way to Takigakure and help.
"That sounds like something bad will happen… but sure."
Accepted quest: Takigakure's Trouble.
'Maybe I can meet Fuu then.' That would be 3 of the 8 Jinchuuriki he had to warn. Yugito probably heard already.
"Who are we protecting and when are we supposed to leave?" Naruto asked, his arms crossed. The Raikage pointed at a grinning blonde man who stood behind him.
"So you are Konoha's little pet, hm?" What's His Name asked, the smirk on his face already provoking.
"While that's my origin, I'm no more their pet than you are smart," Naruto felt a wave of Chakra wash over the room, slightly. "You are a sensor, tell me what you think."
"Stop this at once," Mabui sighed, "we don't have time for this."
"But-" Both C and Naruto were shut up by a glare before looking at each other and turning their heads away from each other. "Hmph!"
"Isn't he supposed to be the mature one?" Darui commented and sighed. Since that boy appeared everything around the village became strange. There were a lot of small problems, but instead of asking for D-rank help they seemed to wait for someone.
He didn't know it was Naruto they were waiting for, trying to surprise him with events.
—
The way out of the village was hell. A woman on the right asking him if could gather herbs for some soup, another woman needing help with her groceries, promising some rumors she heard.
Naruto's life was hard. When he could just smash a Rasengan into someone's face and end the fight, that was when life was easy.
When he could just use a thousand clones to learn a technique in 5 hours, THAT was when life was easy.
Instead he trained his quick draw the whole way.
"Can you stop pulling out that sword every few seconds?" C growled. "It's annoying!"
"You don't really like Konoha, do you?" Naruto asked him, and with another silent "Iaido" pulled the sword, cut and replaced it in the scabbard.
Iaido experience increased.
'Finally. It seems it only increased when he made significant improvement.'
"Nine years ago, Konoha killed my older brother." C spat. "He was on a diplomatic mission for the Sandaime Raikage, and all they returned was his corpse."
That made Naruto stumble.
'The Hyuuga clan…'
"The Hyuuga affair, wasn't it?" Naruto said. "From what I've heard, he tried to kidnap the heiress."
"That's a lie!" C wasn't as playful as he was before. "The Third Raikage told me, he was assassinated by the Hyuuga Clan, and as way to pay for their crime they were to send the corpse of the murderer!"
"Hiashi Hyuuga, hm. And because they sent someone they declared themselves guilty, but if they didn't there would be war," Naruto commented.
"Don't twist the facts! The Hyuuga clan is a clan of murderers, and Konoha protected them, sending the twin brother…" C growled, stopping. Yugito just watched from the sidelines. "And you, the Yondaime Hokage's son! If daddy hadn't died, maybe things would have been different, and prevented that old fool Sarutobi from failing, HAH?"
C was a Jonin. One who frequently trains with Darui and has the Raikage's utmost trust, or at least enough to be sent as diplomat. He was both a sensor and a medic-nin, and had exceptionally high ability in Genjutsu and Raiton.
But when he felt the Kyuubi's Chakra, it was still too late and Naruto's fist impacted on his face. The glare he sent, the red eyes made him swallow slightly.
C realized, Naruto was dangerous. Not that skilled, not enough to beat him, but with Kyuubi backing him up…
"That's enough, both of you." Yugito said, jumping between Naruto and the still downed C. She was more dangerous than Naruto. Full control of her Bijuu…
Naruto snarled again and released his grip from the hilt of his katana. C was healing his face already and Yugito nodded at both.
"I'm surprised you idiots managed to last until the Land of Ricefields."
The speed at which they were going was unreal, only C's constant training and Yugito's and Naruto's high stamina allowed them to hold it. The earlier they reached Takigakure the better.
There were rumors of war.
"Aye, you made one mistake, lady." Naruto's eyes widened at the forehead protector of the stranger that suddenly appeared. "This isn't the Land of Ricefields anymore…"
"It's the Land of Sound!" Ten other men appeared suddenly and threw kunai connected with exploding tags at them.
'Otogakure… how could I forget!'
QUEST: Otogakure - Learn more about Otogakure.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" A shield of about twenty clones was enough for them to stop all kunai. C, who finally managed to think a bit more clearly after the hit, formed hand seals as fast as he could. "Raiton Genjutsu: Flash Pillar!"
Yugito closed her eyes, and Naruto imitated her. After hearing the enemy ninja cry out both opened their eyes again and saw them turning on each other. Only two of the eleven men could free themself.
"Iaido!" Naruto's eyes were wide as he cut through one of the ninja under the Genjutsu. Yugito let her claws grow wide and ran at the one that appeared first while C took on the other one that wasn't under the illusion.
Iaido experience gained.
"Nothing beats real fights, heh?" Naruto laughed, dodging a stray kunai thrown by C's enemy. "Hey, take care with that!"
"Shut up!" C shouted, the distraction of actually fighting broke the Genjutsu on the four remaining men Naruto couldn't get rid of fast enough.
Throwing himself to the floor, Naruto barely dodged a barrage of Shuriken. Luckily Yugito was just finished with her opponent and turned to the four nin.
"Help C, Naruto-san." Yugito ordered, her eyes turning cat-like. "I have to deal with this trash."
"Sure!" Naruto formed a clone and both split up to flank C's opponent. "Need help, wanna-be?"
"Hah, as if I need it!" C shouted, blocking his enemies kunai with his own. Otogakure ninja weren't that talented, but what they lacked in skill they had in numbers. Common Jonin could have problems, it would take someone on Asuma's or maybe Kakashi's level to get rid of all of them.
Without too much damage that is, two Jinchuuriki were rare to leave their enemies alive for interrogation.
Naruto and his clone appeared above and below the Oto nin.
"Overhead Strike!"
"Zigzag Snipe!"
An arm and a leg were gone and before the ninja could even cry out in pain, C's hand hit his neck and knocked him out before he healed the wounds.
"We need to interrogate him, idiot, don't go for the kill!"
"If I wanted to kill him I would have cut off his head, asshole!"
Yugito's sigh interrupted them.
"Still… thanks." C muttered.
"Ah, no problem. Sorry for before." Naruto apologized.
—
Quest completed: Otogakure.
Apparently Orochimaru was in Kusagakure right now, taking care of some business that had to do with Takigakure.
The enemy couldn't mention Orochimaru's name, he only said "leader" but Naruto knew who it was…
"Maybe we should skip a nights sleep." Yugito said. "It seems the situation is more dire, when they were supposed to stop us here. They knew we would have sneaked across the border if they didn't allow us to travel through."
"Yes." Naruto and C nodded.
