Naruto Shippuden: Feelings
Chapter 4: The Flames of Rage
With a puff of smoke Love appreared back in the cave where she had met her master earlier. She kneeled before him once again.
"I've done all I can. What is our next move?"
The man in the shadows paused to think for a second. Then he looked back up to Love.
"With most of the Hidden Leaf under your Jutsu they will not attack in a large force. I think it is best if we just let Rage handle this one."
Love stood up and sighed.
"Just call on me if you need me then."
She started walking out.
"One more thing, Love."
Love turned around, a confused look upon her face.
"What is it?"
Her mater glared at her for a second.
"Why did you willingly release three of their Shinobi from your Jutsu? Doing so raises their chances of coming up with a strategy."
Love smirked.
"Not that you'd understand it, but it's called "Playing fair"."
She then finished walking out of the cave.
(Sceeeeene Traaaaansitiooon!)
Tsunade had ordered Naruto to find those that had been freed from Love's Jutsu. With Chakra Mode it didn't take him long to find the three that had been freed; Shino, Tenten and Sai. He then brought them back to the Hokage's office with him.
"Alright Granny, I brought all three of 'em like you asked," he said, getting out of Chakra Mode.
"Good, good," Tsunade replied.
"Lady Tsunade, what's going on?" Tenten asked.
Tsunade took another deep breath.
"Alright you four, listen up. The Village is in a state of emergency with all of these Shinobi being infatuated with Ren. Or, as it turns out she's called, Love. We have to find a way to reverse this Infatuation Jutsu as soon as we possibly can. However, in her leaving statement, she said something along the lines of "Our goals," which leads me to assume that Love is not working alone. We have to be cautious, because every Shinobi in the village that isn't in this room has turned into a tool for Love to use as she sees fit. Any questions?"
All was silent for a second. But then Shino spoke up.
"Do we have any leads? It would be nice to know where to start."
Tsunade rested her head on her hands, lacing her fingers together.
"Unfortunately, I'm unable to think of anything at the moment. Just go and see what you can dig up. Naruto, we may need to rely on your Chakra Mode again."
Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Alright everyone, let's get out there and fins a way to cure everybody!"
Tenten crossed her arms.
"Hey, who died and made you leader?"
Naruto sighed.
"Let's just save the village, okay...?"
He and the others walked out.
"I don't think I have any way to help out with this mission," Sai said with a sigh, "Unless I could carry one of you on one of my birds?"
Tenten facepalmed.
"Damn it, I'm no help either!"
Shino put a hand to his chin.
"I can't think of any way my parisitic insects can help right now. I could survey the area to find the infatuated, but other than that I'd say I'm useless too."
Naruto nodded.
"Just leasve it to me!"He was about to go Chakra Mode when an explosion was seen and heard at the entrance to the Village.
"What the... are they attacking already?"
At the edge of the Village, a man with red hair and a bright scarlet outfitwas smirking, having just blown up a building.
"That ought to get their attention..." Rage said, a grin replacing his smirk.
(Alright, that's another chapter down! Sorry that this one's a little short. The next one will be really good to make up for it.)
