Chapter 2- The beast take caution
Two years had past since the Jinchuurki met. In that time, they had all gotten stronger. Naruto had been with Jiraiya the whole time. He had mostly been working his regular moves, but on occasion he worked in controlling the Kyuubi. Unfortunately, he only managed to get as far as three tails out of nine. So before he returned to Konoha, Naruto sought out Killer bee, the Hachibi. Killer bee agreed to help him, and took him to an island. There, Naruto got control of the Kyuubi's chakra. He learned the basic moves and principals. Killer bee wouldn't show him the Tailed beast bomb, stating that he wouldn't need it until probably later. Naruto understood and went back to Konoha with Jiraiya. Naruto said hi to Sakura and a few other friends, but had to go out again. It was time for the second meeting.
'I hope the Akatsuki didn't make their move too early,' thought Naruto as he hurried to the meeting place.
When he got inside, he was relieved to see all of them their.
"Good to see you've recovered since we last saw you," said Yagura as he sat there calmly.
"Yep, still in one piece. Though I saw Killer Bee over the past two years," said Naruto, as he gave Killer bee a thumb up, and Bee returning it.
"Yeah, Naruto and me met up," said Bee, as the others just looked.
"Interesting, I became the Kazekage in that time," said Gaara, as Naruto smiled at him.
"I heard about that. Congrats," said Naruto, as Gaara gave a somewhat smile.
"Hate to interrupt, but we are supposed to be discussing what to do about the Akatsuki," said Utakata as Naruto sat down with the others.
"Right, so whats the plan for dealing with these guys?" asked Fu, while the others pondered what should happen.
"I think they'll hunt us down one at a time from Ich to Kyu," said Roushi, as the others nodded in agreement.
"So that means your up, Gaara," said Yugito, as Gaara nodded and looked his usual serious face.
"Yes, which means we know exactly where they're going to be to get me," said Gaara as knew he was going to be in Suna the whole time.
"Exactly, so who's going to give Gaara back up," asked Han, but immediately saw Naruto's hand go up almost instantly.
"Temari is in Konoha so I can walk back with her. Should I explain the situation to her?" asked Naruto, as Gaara nodded.
"Just her and Kankuro. If too many people are alerted to the plan, the Akatsuki might get suspicious.
"Got it. Anyone else want to tag along?" asked Naruto, who saw Roushi raise his hand.
"I've been doing nothing but training. I want to see if I've gotten any better," said Roushi, as the old man got up and began popping every bone in his body.
"Okay, if you think you're up to it?" asked Naruto.
"Oh I'm sure," said Roushi with a big grin on his face.
"All right then, Naruto and Roushi will aid Gaara in Suna. The rest of you, keep on your toes," said Yagura, as the other nodded, but Fu had a question.
"What if the Akatsuki comes after one of us? How will the others know if one of us is in trouble?" asked Fu, who wanted to make sure just incase someone got jumped.
"I actually thought of that. Everyone come close," said Naruto, as he reached in his pouch and pulled out nine rings.
"What are these?" asked Yugito as she noticed that the rings were all different colors, but also had numbers on the sides from one to nine.
"These rings will alert everyone if you are in danger. Just press the number, and it will send out a signal to all rings," said Naruto as everyone got their own ring.
"Well that solves how we'll know when someone's in danger, but how do we get there in time?" asked Utakata, as Naruto raised a finger and turned is ring upside down to reveal a summoning seal on the ring.
"There's a summoning seal on the back of every ring. When you need backup, just put blood on the ring and summon us to assist you," said Naruto as everyone nodded in understanding.
"Okay, that concludes the meeting. Naruto, Roushi, guard Gaara when you get to Suna," said Yagura, as they both nodded in agreement before they left.
(Konoha- few minutes later)
Naruto had explained the situation to Temari and she understood. They headed out for Suna to begin preparation for the Akatsuki.
