Chapter 4: Kai
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Kyuubi and Angela only looked at each other once Shizune had come in and told them about this stranger. They both had the same thought running through their heads "It can't be him, can it?"
"Alright, if you wish to see him now then I suggest you follow me to-" Tsunade didn't have the chance to finish the sentence as one of her ANBU came in through the window.
"Hokage-sama, we have a problem. There's been a sighting of Orochimaru, Sasuke, and about 4 other Sound Country Ninja within the forest of Death. What course of action do you wish us to take?"
Naruto and the others couldn't believe it. They had another chance at Sasuke. However, there was also the matter of how they got in, as well as what they were doing there in the first place.
"Naruto, you and the others go and investigate what's going on with Orochimaru and see if you can find out what they're doing here. Shizune, you and I are going to greet Kai." said Tsunade.
"Hold on a sec. Tsunade-obachan, what do you mean when you say this guy is coming with Hinata? What happened?" Naruto asked.
"I'll explain later Naruto, now MOVE!" There was no arguing with Tsunade when she said this.
Outside Konohona
A blonde and spiky haired man waited with the unconscious Hyuuga Heiress in his arms. He knew what had happened. She had told him about what happened this day so he knew where she was.
Apparently she had been on a solo mission not too long ago in order to deliver something to the Wave Country. On the way back she was attacked by Nuke-nins. She was beaten and tortured for information on Konohona. She had not talked, and before they could kill her once they got nothing out of her Kai had shown up. Needless to say….well let's just not go into what happens when this man gets pissed beyond measure. After all this woman….nevermind.
Anyway, this man was dressed very much unlike any ninja. He wore boots and had on a pair of loose black pants. He also wore a black short-sleeved shirt under a black leather trench coat that had the Leaf Symbol on the back. He also wore two broad swords. One curved like a giant Katana. The other straight, with mystic runes running down its side, its end was also a bit thicker than its beginning. Each one had the Leaf Symbol on them as well. This man also had Sky-blue eyes with whisker marks on his cheeks and longer, not much, than normal canine teeth.
He stood and waited for Tsunade and Shizune to get there and take Hinata to the hospital. He knew that Orochimaru and the others were in the Forest of Death. And he knew they were looking for something. The place where the Five-tailed Shrine was the place of Ryu, the Sharingan Master.
"Kai, it's been a long time, nice to see you haven't aged." said a voice from behind him.
When he turned he saw Tsunade there with Shizune beside her, as well as the pig, oddly enough.
"And the same could be said of you, Tsunade-chan, if it weren't for the Genjutsu." remarked Kai.
"You know, if you weren't holding her, you'd be in orbit for that." replied Tsunade, trying to keep her cool. Just like his father, one of the cockiest big-mouths ever.
"Then, for my safety, I'd better not let go."
"Alright, alright, now, I'll take her to the Hospital and treat her for her wounds."
"Okay, she's got a few broken ribs, a concussion, and possibly some bruising. I've healed up as much as I could with my own powers, but I'm not as skilled at Medical Jutsu as you are, oh Famous Sucker."
"Keep talking, that doesn't mean I can't kill you when you get back. Alright, the others should have made it to the Forest of Death. Do you think you can make it there before anything really bad happens"
"Is Jiraiya the world's largest pervert, and greatest author?"
Before Tsunade could reply to that one Kai was gone.
Forest
of Death
Naruto and the others arrived a few moments before Tsunade met up with Kai. They had managed to get there fast enough to meet in a show-down of sorts with them.
"Fufufufufufu, so it seems that Konohona's finest have shown up. Along with the brats from the future, hm, I didn't think you'd get here so soon. Oh, well, no matter. Once we get what we're looking for not even the Kyuubi brat, or even you yourself, Kyuubi, can stop us."
Leon could only stare. There he was, his father Sasuke. The man he had looked up to all his life. He didn't even look like he remembered him. It just couldn't be him, it just couldn't.
"There's no way we're going to let you get your hands on whatever it is you want. Believe it." shouted Naruto
"Oh really, well what are you going to do to stop us?"
"Pretty much pound you into the ground until there isn't anything left." said Kyuubi nonchalantly.
"Hm, confident, aren't we?"
"I'd say she has a reason to be. Considering the circumstances." said a voice from the forest.
Before anyone could look up or around to see where the voice came from a figure in black came from the side of the clearing. It seemed to spin like a tornado for moment before it landed and slid a bit on the ground, kicking up dust in the process.
It was Kai.
"You!" Shouted Orochimaru, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Did I not tell you the exact date of when I would be returning 50 years ago? You know, it doesn't help the "Supreme-Evil" image when you can't remember information as obvious as that." replied Kai
Orochimaru growled at that.
"Dammit Kai, what the hell are you doing?" shouted Yura
"What? I don't think I've done anything wrong here." said Kai as he turned toward the group.
"Kai, though it is good to see you again, not only are you agitating some-one as powerful as him, your playing the hero again." said Angela.
Kai sighed for a moment before walking up to them. He stood about 4 inches above Angela, so he leaned down.
"While I must say it is good to see you again, all of you, though a reunion can come later, to reply to your statement. Playing is for children. And, to prove the point even further, I won't use weapons on any of them." said Kai as he pointed to the Assault team.
"You're as cocky as ever." said Kyuubi, "You haven't changed."
"No, not cocky, confident, cocky is when you can't back up what one says with action."
"Hey, hold on a second. Tsunade-obachan said something about you being my son, what did she mean by that?" asked Naruto as he walked up to Kai.
Kai turned to look at him.
"Exactly what she said; I am, or more will be, your son. In about…well never mind, it's not that important right now. We still have to deal with them." answered Kai as he jerked his thumb toward the others. "Just leave it to us Pop; we'll take care of them."
A\N: Okay, next chapter is the fight. I'm actually pretty excited about it. Anyway, read and review and I'll update this one again when I can.
