Chapter 3- Mist Fort Infiltration
Naruto searched one store after another until he stopped catching sight of people wearing headbands. He got closer to them to see what type of headbands they had. He noticed that they had mist headbands.
"Why are mist shinobi in fire country controlled territory" Naruto thought as he followed them to see were they were going. The cloak was still active so he did not have to worry about being spotted. He stopped when the mist shinobi in front of him stopped in front of a store. Naruto heard them arguing so he listened in on the conversation because Kyuubi told him he should. Naruto pushed red chakra to his ears to make his hearing better so he could catch every word that they spoke.
"We have to hurry and get more supplies Mei should be waiting for us back in mist" one of the mist shinobi said to the other four.
"We know Ao but don't you think if we are caught in fire country territory that we will be killed on the spot" a mist shinobi with a big sword on his back said.
"We won't be caught. We have to get more supplies for Mei and the rest of the mist rebellion so we can't fail. We strike the mizukage's strong hold next week. We can't get supplies in water country so we have no choice but to get supplies form other countries Chojuro" Ao said as he entered the store. Chojuro followed close behind looking very nervous as he looked every direction making sure they were not spotted. The other two mist shinobi entered behind them. Naruto walked in front of the store quickly slipping in through the closing door. Once inside he noticed that the mist shinobi were already gathering stuff off the shelves as the manager of the store continued to shout at them but they would not listen as they continued to put everything in scrolls.
"I have to get some equipment before they take all of it" Naruto thought looking at all the shelves from his position at the door. Before he was finished looking a voice appeared in the back of his mind.
"There are chakra weights to your right, there is also a couple jutsu scrolls further down that shelf. I would recommend getting the sword first because those mist shinobi are picking them off the shelf's first it seems" Kyuubi said. Naruto looked to the left noticing half the swords were already gone off the shelf. Naruto shot forward grabbing a sword off the shelf that he spotted. He did not know what type of sword it was but he will be surprised later of what he had picked up. He quickly pushed red chakra into the sword just like Kuuybi told him to. The sword vanished from sight just liked Naruto had when he first entered the town. Naruto strapped it to his back quickly while he made his way to the other shelf Kyuubi was talking about.
Naruto quickly picked up a set of chakra weights pushing red chakra into it making it vanish as well. He attached them on to his legs and arms fast so he could have room in his pockets for some jutsu scroll. Once they were attached Naruto ran to the back end of the store. As he approached the jutsu scrolls. Naruto noticed out of the corner of his eye that the mist ninja were done with the rest of the store because Naruto noticed the shelves were bare besides were he was at. So Naruto quickly scanned the shelf he was at before grabbing five scrolls and shoved them in his pockets while jumping back from the mist ninjas who had rushed to the shelf he was at.
"Damn they are causing a big ruckus, I wonder why they are in such a hurry" Naruto thought as he watched the mist ninja stuff storage scrolls with the jutsu scrolls. Naruto sweat dropped at how fast they were moving.
"I would follow them to where they were going to see what the big deal was but I know for a fact they would out run me easily" Naruto thought sighing wanting to know what caused them to act like this so badly.
"Follow them then, if you lose track of them don't worry about it I got their chakra signature down so I will know were they have went" Kyuubi replied to Naruto's thought.
"Really, that's great" Naruto thought as he continued to watch the mist ninja gather the scrolls up. Naruto started to feel pains all over making him lean down on to his knee panting. Naruto did not know why but the burning pain was getting worse by the minute.
"It is because you are hurting your chakra coils using the cloak to much. Your chakra coils is not use to this much strain on them" Kyuubi explained to Naruto. Naruto knew he had to dispel the cloak around him soon or risk damaging his coils beyond repair. So when he noticed five minutes later that the mist ninja had all the scrolls from the shelf packed away he sighed in relief. The pain was getting really bad and he knew he didn't have much time before he couldn't move. Naruto slowly stood back on to two feet stepping aside as the mist ninja walked toward the door exiting it but the one named Ao turned to face the store owner.
"Thanks for your hospitality, we will make sure to pay you back when the civil war in mist is over" Ao said walking out the door following after the rest of the mist ninja. The store owner did not look happy but you did not have to look to know all you had to do was listen and you could hear a string of curses towards the mist shinobi who just exited the store. Naruto walked out of the store after them not wanting to stay another minute in the store listening to the store owner complain on his ninja equipment begin taken. Once Naruto exited the store he ran to the other side of the town going to the other entrance besides the one he used to enter.
Naruto appeared at the exit to the town and walked out into a little field before breaking off in to a forest. He spotted the mist ninja so he walked forward to hear what they were saying. He was breathing heavy so he hoped the ninja did not hear his erratic breathing.
"I just sent a message to Mei that we have completed our mission of getting supplies for the main attack. The rebellion should go as planned, the mizukage's rain of terror ends next week" Ao said to the rest of the mist shinobi. Chojuro looked unsure of the battle to come though.
"Are you sure we are going to be able to beat Yagura, I mean he is a Jinchuuriki with a iron hold over the mist village" Chojuro replied to Ao's statement making Ao scowl at him. Ao leaned forward and smacked Chojuro upside the head for being a coward.
"Chojuro we have to do this. We have no choice it is for the people of mist and the blood line's that are being wiped out from Yagura's wraith. His rain of terror has to be put to a stop" Ao said to Chojuro smacking him upside the head again. The other two mist ninja just looked on sweat dropping by how their commander's were acting. After the argument between the two the four mist ninja's jumped into the tree line to head to the rebellion's camp.
Naruto heard every single word that they had spoken as he dispelled the cloak around him falling to his knees from the burning pain that he felt.
"Damn this hurts, I got to get my chakra coils use to the cloak and my other illusions" Naruto said to himself. After the pain slowly ebbed away he stood up looking off into the forest that the mist shinobi had jumped in to. Naruto knew he would never be able to catch up to them now but he could still find them using the Kyuubi's senses. Naruto jumped into the tree line the same way the mist shinobi had went as he jumped from branch to branch at a slow speed because he was only really trying this now.
"Kyuubi which way do I go" Naruto asked the fox. Naruto followed the Kyuubi's directions. They were heading the same path that the mist ninja had taken not to long ago.
About five days of traveling Naruto finally caught sight of a big fort at the end of the path he was taking. He slowed his pace stopping just at the end of the path behind a tree as he peered out at the entrance to the big fort noticing that their were two guards stationed at the gate. Naruto continued to look at the gate as he felt the strain on his legs and arms from the long journey he just took, Naruto realized it was tough to move with thirty pound of weight on each of his legs and arms. He would keep them on even though he was entering a guarded fort.
"Is this the place Kyuubi" Naruto whispered not getting an answer from the fox right away.
"Yes, this is the place but there are a lot of chakra signatures coming from within in the fort so if you are to enter be careful. Even though you were practicing stealth with that cloak of yours on but your chakra coils are still not use to it yet. If you are in their too long and the cloak fades use your eyes and trap them in an illusion" Kyuubi told Naruto from within his mind. Naruto nodded as he circulated the red chakra through out his body. Naruto vanished from sight but his eyes were different when he disappeared they were light blue. Naruto quickly jumped into the small clearing walking up to the gate slowly knowing he was invisible but they could still hear him so he had to be careful. Naruto approached the two guards he had to knock them out because if his cloak faded while inside these two would block his exit if he were to leave. Naruto stared at the two guards in the face forcing some more red chakra to his eyes catching the two guards in an illusion without them knowing they were caught in one.
The guards were looking out into the forest as they stood watch in front of the gate. They noticed huge bears, wolf's and tigers coming out of the forest at them. They looked on in freight knowing they couldn't take that many on by themselves so they turned around to open the gate door to enter but when they turned their was no door just five huge tiger's ready to pounce on them. The tiger's pounced on them and started to rip them apart. They screamed out in agony from the amount of pain they felt.
All Naruto saw though were the two guards dropping to the grassy ground with shocked looks on their faces.
"They probably didn't expect to be mauled by tigers" Naruto said to himself chuckling a little bit by the faces the two ninja had on their faces before he faced the entrance to the fort. He saw that he had to press a switch to open the gate to the fort which would alert multiple people that he was entering. He was invisible due to the cloak he had on but when he opened the door they would notice the two downed gate guards and they would go in a panic trying to find the intruder. Naruto sighed as he hoisted to two gate guard's on to his shoulders. He pushed red chakra into their bodies to make them invisible. He jumped back into the forest and laid them down before going back to the gate.
"Here goes nothing" Naruto thought As he pulled the switch to open the gate. The gate slowly lifted up allowing him entrance. He slowly walked through the gate to a sight that caught him by surprise. Their were small houses against the walls of the forts and big tents laid out everywhere. Naruto noticed a huge building in the center of the fort. He walked closer to the building stealthily moving out of the way of passing ninja or merchants that were supplying the fort with supplies. Once he reached the building Naruto turned and looked back at the gate to see if anyone noticed that no one had entered the gate. He caught sight of around fifteen ninja at the gate and he knew that the ninja now knew that their was an intruder in the fort. Naruto also saw the shocked looks from people around the fort suspecting the same thing as the ninja were.
"To bad their not going to be able to find me" Naruto thought to himself. Naruto turned and went to open the door to the main building to the fort but ended up stepping aside quickly from a mist ninja who flung the door open he was going to enter which made it much easier for him to get inside without notice. He followed the mist ninja down the hall of the huge building. Naruto noticed the mist ninja stopped at a big double door entrance making Naruto stop in his tracks about five feet behind the ninja. The mist ninja knocked on the door.
"Why is he knocking on the door. It must be a high ranking person who runs this fort" Naruto contemplated to himself as he heard a voice come from behind the closed doors.
"Come in" a female voice said from behind the door.
"A female, she must be really strong to lead this many ninja and want to take down the mizukage" Naruto thought as the mist ninja in front of him opened the door and stepped in the room but before the guy could close the door behind him Naruto slipped into the room. Naruto noticed Ao and Chojuro from the town he was at before in the room along with a coupled more people but what caught Naruto's eye was the Red headed women sitting in the middle seat meaning she was the leader.
"Wow I wouldn't mind working for her, she is freaking hot. I know I am eight years old but damn now I wish I was older" Naruto thought staring at the women. He blushed after a couple seconds realizing that he was ogling her so he turned his head to the ninja who bowed before them.
"What happened the ninja outside seem to be in a ruckus" the red headed women asked the kneeling mist ninja that was before them.
"The reason the ninja outside are in a ruckus is because we might have an intruder in the fort. We found the gate to the fort wide open and the guards that were supposed to be guarding the fort no where to be seen" the mist ninja told her as he looked up to her.
The red headed women turned towards Ao.
"What do you think we should do Ao. Their or may not be an intruder and we don't want to instill panic in everyone if we found out their were not intruders to begin with" the read headed women asked Ao. Naruto looked at Ao and at the eye patch the guy had on his eye.
"I wonder what is behind the eye patch" Naruto thought to himself. Naruto just looked on listening to what was being said around the room.
"I think we should send a search team through out the village just in case but not a big team to cause panic. If one of Yagura's ninja got in we will find him Mei-sama" Ao said. Mei nodded her head in agreement before she turned towards the ninja who was still kneeling.
"Round up a search party of three other ninja with you included and find the intruder and bring him to me" Mei commanded to the ninja.
"Hai" the mist ninja said as he vanished out of the room quickly to find the intruder. After the ninja had left Naruto stayed put in the room to observe Mei and the rest of them.
"Let's continue the meeting now since that issue will be solved shortly" Mei said as everyone in the room agreed with her and the meeting continued. Naruto just stood their in the room undetected taking in all the information that he got from their meeting. He knew they would never find him unless his cloak dispersed from around him.
After twenty minutes the meeting was over and Naruto watch as everyone in the room got up out of their seats and began to leave but three people stayed in the room. The three people that stayed were Mei, Ao and Chojuro. Naruto did not know why they stayed but he knew he was about to find out.
"I sensed a little flux of chakra in the room earlier but it is now gone" Mei told them making Ao and Chojuro on high alert as they scanned the room multiple times seeing if anything was their. Ao lifted up his eye patch revealing the byakugan behind it. Once Kyuubi spotted the eye, he informed Naruto of what the eye did.
"What do I do" Naruto thought franticly until he came up with an idea with Kyuubi's help. Naruto laid flat on the floor near the table that they used as a conference table. Naruto thought that maybe Ao would not spot him because they were looking for a person not an animal so they didn't have to look directly at the floor. Mei, Ao and Chojuro looked around the room not spotting anything. Ao put his eye patch back down thinking no one was in the room any more but their was before. Ao turned towards Mei.
"I caught sight of chakra in the air but no one is in the room at the moment so if I have to guess they are not here anymore" Ao stated to Mei and Chojuro.
"Ok, then we can let the search team find the intruder. We got more pressing matters to attend to" Mei said as she and the other two walked up to a blank wall in the room. Naruto slowly got up off the floor once he was sure that he was not found out. He saw Mei put a hand on the wall as a part of the wall shifted to the right like a door way. The entered through the door way not realizing that another person had snuck in with them. Naruto followed them into a long corridor.
They walked for about five minutes until the corridor opened up into a massive room. Naruto looked around the room at all the weapons and scrolls that were piled up in the room.
"Amazing they have enough things in here to last years even with all the ninja under Mei" Naruto thought before he winced starting to feel the burning feeling from his chakra coils again meaning he only had about an hour left before he needed to dispel the cloak. Naruto decided not to worry about it for now as he continued to follow Mei and the other two further into the room. Naruto stopped walking once they had stopped walking. They turned to his direction making Naruto sweat liked crazy but he knew they couldn't see him though so he was safe even if they knew he was in here since Ao had his eye patch on.
"Come out who ever you are so I can melt you" Mei said loud enough for anyone in the room could hear. No one appeared though making her scowl for having to do it the hard way. Naruto knew he was in trouble so he ran back the way they came making sure to keep his foot steps silent as he ran. Naruto got to the door exiting out of the corridor and in to the conference they were in before.
Mei turned towards Ao knowing this person was not going to come out so they would have to make this person show himself.
"Ao find him" Mei commanded but noticed Ao already lifted his eye patch a second before she asked.
"There is no one in the room Mei-sama but there is a lot of residue chakra scattered in the air meaning someone was here. Ao said as he started to expand his range of sight with his byakugan. He noticed just at the end of his sight a blond boy no older then eight was exiting the building they were in before.
"Wait I got something but you won't believe it. The intruder was a boy, he must have ran when you told him you were going to melt him because he just ran out of the conference room that we were in before" Ao stated to Mei making her scowl at being followed by a mere boy and not being able to detect him.
"Why couldn't we detect the boy, it shouldn't have been this hard to spot the boy" Mei told Ao sounding like she was not in a good mood at the moment.
"I don't know Mei-sama all I know is that the boy had chakra coating him like a cloak. That is what I believe kept us from seeing him but the more important matter is what should we do about him he had no headband" Ao asked Mei.
"Since he was not a ninja of Yagure because if he was he would have attacked me and tried to kill me but he didn't so just let the boy go" Mei said as they walked down the corridor. They left the storage room and went back into conference room.
Naruto had ran out of the conference room. He did not want to leave yet so headed in to a house of to the side to get some rest because it was getting dark before he entered the house though he heard two ninja discussing something.
"The attack will be tomorrow. It is when we will take back control of mist and end Yagura's rain of destruction" a random mist ninja said to another. Naruto smiled at their determination and effort.
"I think I will follow the platoons of ninja into battle tomorrow but when they get to mist I will separate from them and go after Yagura by myself and take him down before anyone knew what happened" Naruto thought grinning as he entered the house to relax a bit. When Naruto entered the house he noticed the ninja that lived their were already asleep so he walked to the coach that was in the living room. He sat down on the coach releasing the cloak that surrounded him. He laid down and continued to stare up at the ceiling with a lot of things going through his mind. He missed the people he cared about back in Konoha but he also knew he would not go back now. He had a new life now and, a new path set in front of him. He was having a blast so far.
Naruto knew he couldn't stay here either though so once Yagura was dead he decided to head to a new place. Naruto drifted into a light sleep because he knew Kyuubi would alert him to any danger.
