Just as a warning, things in this chapter might be a little graphic. Think Freddy Krueger style. The descriptions in bold to show where the descriptions start and end, if you want to skip it. This fic was rated T for a reason. Other then that, hope you'll enjoy this next chapter. :D
The next day arrived pretty quickly for the three ninja. The plan was set. The three of them would split up, and are tasked for specific individual missions. Obito, was tasked to spy in the Elder's meeting to see what was taking place, and what their plan of action against Naruto would be. Kagome would be tasked to find, and extract Naruto from the hospital. Minato would be out in the village and see what all the damage done first hand, and hear what the people in town are talking about. Both Obito and Minato would have to wear cloaks, so they wouldn't be noticed, and Kagome to feel included, wore one as well.
At near dawn, when just a glitter of the sky was turning dark blue, instead of the black of night, the three of them arrived at the wall of Konoha. "Remember both of your tasks, and we'll meet up behind the Hokage's tower. Be safe, and watch your backs!" With the last word said from Minato, the other two nodded, then took off in separate directions. The plans were in motion.
Obito arrived at the Elder's meeting way to early for his tastes. After scoping out the place, and noticing how easy access it was, he thought up of an evil, scheming, naughty, and hilarious way to remind the elders to not forget the basics, including security. 'Oh this will be good.' He said to himself with a smile, after he finished setting up his prank. He then found himself a comfortable corner on the ceiling, and waited. 'Let's see if anyone is sane enough to keep an eye on their surroundings, especially their chairs.' He thought with a chuckle.
About fifteen minutes later, the first to arrive was the 'new' Hokage Sarutobi. He arrived glanced at his chair and removed the trap. 'Aw' Obito thought, a little saddened. Sarutobi glanced around the room carefully, not noticing anyone there, but was keeping his senses on the look out. Soon after, the elders started to trickle in, and no one else noticed anything wrong with their seats. After everyone arrived the meeting started to take place.
Sarutobi started by saying, "This meeting has now started." He glanced around the room, looking at everyone in the eye at a certain point, and continued, "Minato's last wish was to see that Naruto would be treated as a hero, not a disgrace to this village. I want to keep his last wishes, and honor them." When he finished his starting point, a loud uproar was heard around the room. Choruses from those who wished ill of Naruto shouted things like, 'What?' 'That's a disgrace!' 'He's a monster!' 'He needs to die!' While those who do wish to honor the late Minato shouted back, 'It's Minato's son!' "We want to honor his wish!' 'He's a hero, not a monster!'
"Shut up all of you!" Roared a voice louder then the clustered shouts combined. Danzo stood up, and then continued to speak in a quieter, and convincing tone, "Look. There's a way for us all to get along! I know some of you want Naruto dead, and the others want to honor Minato's son. There's a way to achieve both!" He looked around the room, and saw confusion surrounding them. "I know those who want to label Naruto a hero, might not like this but hear me out! If we did execute the boy, but we'd do it humanly, not cutting of the head, or anything brutal; but, then all of you can get what you want. Those who want revenge, will get it, and those who want to label him a hero, can do that. How, you may ask? He holds the nine tails. If Naruto would die, so would it. You'll get your hero."
After Danzo finished, he sat down in his chair looking up at the rest of the elders. Some of their faces showed awe, and a lot of those who wanted to honor Minato's last words looked convinced to change their minds. Those few who didn't by Danzo's speech, along with Sarutobi shouted, "What! No way!"
"Then let's vote." Was Danzo's last words, with a smile.
Sarutobi sighed, then with a strong voice said, "We will now vote for the fate of Naruto. Those who wish to keep Minato's last wish, and to at least keep the boy alive, raise your hands." Four hands shot up in the air, Sarutobi's included. "Now, those who wish to execute the boy humanely". He glanced around the room and continued, "Raise your hands." The rest of the elders rose their hands high in the air." With a glance, and a feeling of dread, he concluded the meeting with, "Naruto will then be executed. We will gather tomorrow to figure out by which method and who will do it." With that said, he left.
Everyone who was left in the room started to talk amongst themselves, and that's when Obito ignited his trap. A 'pop' was heard and the next thing you knew everyone was colored a different color of paint, and yelling started taking place. Obito noticed Danzo leaving, and silently followed him. 'Danzo is up to something.'
Obito followed Danzo to a deserted part of Konoha, where buildings were falling apart, and rats ran around. They stopped by a building, Danzo knocked, the door opened, and you could hear a voice say, "What happened to you?" You could tell the hidden figure was looking at Danzo up and down since he was colored hot pink.
"Don't worry about that." He mumbled then continued to speak. "The council voted to execute the boy. I will convince the council, just like I did today, that I will do the execution. Just like the plan, I'll fake his death, then bring him here. You will then hold him for a few days, then we can move him to ROOT head quarters, where I will train him to be the perfect weapon." He pointed his finger in the hidden mans chest and glared. "You will not fail me! You hold Naruto here, get him used to you, then bring him. Understood!"
"Yes." With that one word, the door closed, and Danzo started to walk off.
'Hmmm, better get to the Hokage's tower, they're going to want to hear this!' With that thought Obito left.
Kagome arrived at the hospital and looked at the directory on where the nursery was. Naruto wasn't around. She started to listen to staff members, while acting like she was going to see a patient. No one was talking about anything, other then the nine tails attack the night before. The hospital was a busy place. No one paid attention to Kagome who was walking the halls. 'Where could he be?' She looked everywhere, including the morgue to see if something bad happened, and he wasn't there either. 'Damn, they're hiding him good.'
While walking by an open window, Kagome heard a silent sniffle, and a small cry. With a startled look, she looked out, and down the window, and it was coming from a dumpster. 'What the heck?' Without a second thought teleported down to the dumpster and found... something. She held what looked like a baby, gently in her arms. 'Aw poor kid.' His body was covered in cuts and bruises, an arm bone was poking up, not quite piercing the skin. 'Who did this to you!' With that, she touched his head and looked in his mind.
The hospital staff, after someone brought him in from the battle, started to abuse him. Six people were involved, two ninja, and four civilians. "Don't worry Naruto, I'll get them back for what they did to you." She whispered to him soothing. Let's at least heal these bones of yours, we'll heal the rest after your father looks at you. With that said, she healed his broken bones, and internal injuries. If she hadn't found him, he wouldn't have survived the next two hours.
After she healed him, she had a thought go through her head. 'I wonder, if I can send the Underlings away, can I call them back? It's worth a shot.' She then concentrated on a spot in front of her, and a few Underlings arrived. 'Yes! It worked!' "Ok guys, I have a task for you. I need you to track down these six individuals and I need you to take them with you, how ever you wish." She then projected the individuals into their heads and they took off.
A group of people were in the smoking area just talking, when all of a sudden a woman in the middle of the group started to scream. When people started to look at her, they noticed that she was looking at her hands. One by one it looked like her fingers were getting bitten off. It wasn't just getting removed, there were jagged edges, around the stump of a knuckle that was left over, it looked like a sharks mouth went to war with each finger. After the last pinky was removed, she collapsed. He soul had left her.
A man and a woman were enjoying each others company in a room that wasn't occupied when suddenly with out warning, the male screamed and he grabbed hold of himself. He no longer had a penis, and two balls. He looked scared and in pain at the blood on his hands, looked at the woman, then fainted. When he landed on the ground, the woman grabbed a breast, and herself. Blood was dripping on the floor, she had no left breast, and it looked like a scalpel, was shoved up her. She fainted on top of the male. Their souls left them.
A group of two Ninja were talking in hushed voices outside. They were talking about how odd it was to beat up an infant, yet they felt so much glee doing it. One ninja glanced around. He felt like he was being watched, but he couldn't detect where it was coming from. Suddenly he was clutching at his chest, and his heart was forcefully removed from it. He blinked and clutched at his bloodied, hollowed out chest and watched in horror, as his lungs were removed one by one, and his intestines were being pulled from his anus. He had no idea how he was still alive, but he was in excruciating pain, then he clutched at his eyes, everything had gone black. He then collapsed, his soul had left him.
The ninja that was with him couldn't move, he was in to much shock at what he witnessed. 'What the hell happened to him?' was the only thing repeating itself in his mind over and over. He watched in horror as his own skin, started to peal away as he was skinned alive. Not a patch of skin was left, not his eye lids, his scalp, even the skin on his penis and boys were not left. He was there laying on the ground as a pink, bloodied skinless animal. His soul left him.
One man, was enjoying his break. He always went swimming for his lunch. While he was in the middle of a lap, something dragged him underwater. As he was gasping for air and struggling to swim up, he screamed, or tried to while he was underwater. Each bone in his body suddenly without warning, broke, and pierced through the skin, the clear water turned dark red, and no bubbles went to the surface. His soul left him.
About fifteen minutes later, the Underlings came back. They nodded at her, then dragged the souls they were caring to their place amongst the dead. They projected in her mind, what had happened and she shuttered, and gagged. She looked at Naruto then said, "I guess they don't like people who abuse and harm the young. Let's go see your dad." With that, she started to walk to the Hokage's tower.
Minato was walking around town looking at all the damage that happened. People were already trying to rebuild somethings. He went to were he knew his wife's body was, and knelt before it. He cried and said a quick prayer to the god's to keep her safe. He then dug a grave, then buried her.
After he was finished with his wife's 'funeral' he went to his favorite ramen place. He needed to eat, but he couldn't make the usual scene, after all, he was 'dead'. So he ordered two bowls instead of his five. When he was done, he almost ran into Kakashi. He followed him to the memorial, and saw him kneel before it, crying.
"Obito. Now Rin and Sensei. I'm all alone now." His tears started to fall, and drip down to the earth he was clenching in his fists. "I shouldn't let my feelings show, but it just hurts to much."
Minato wanted to comfort the poor boy, but he knew he couldn't, he sadly left the crying boy to grieve in his own way. "I think I'll go meet up with Obito and Kagome now." With that, he yellow flashed himself to their meeting point.
Obito and Kagome were both there. Obito looked pissed off while Kagome was talking, "...I healed him a little bit, wanted Minato to see."
"To see what?" He asked while walking up to them. Kagome gave Naruto to Minato. He looked him over and noticed the bruises and cuts marking him. "What happened!"
"He was worse when I found him...he was in a dumpster..." Kagome then proceeded to tell Minato what had occurred on her mission. She told them both about how she found out she could call the Underlings at will as well, and both the men were surprised to hear that. She continued and described what they did to those involved.
Obito went next, and informed him of what went on in the Elder's meeting, and of him following Danzo. He told them of the plot he overheard.
After hearing the mission reports from both of them, Minato felt sick. "This village is one nasty piece of shit!" He was pissed off. "We need to speak to the Hokage and see what we can do to fix this mess." The two ninja with him nodded, and they followed him into the Hokage's building.
Well, that's the end of the 4th chapter! Hope you enjoyed it, and I hope I didn't disappoint you... or scare some of you away, lol. Have a good day!
