Hi! Another chappie coming up! By the way, jutsus will be explained in the reviews! Enjoy!
Chapter Four: Murder, Training and Treaty Making
Team Seven from Konoha was fighting a losing battle, with all four ninjas being close to passing out. Team Sesshoumaru finished them off with a kick in the head, and passed out completely. Meanwhile, the Suna siblings cornered the bridge builder, Tazuna.
"I guess we'll let Gaara do the honors." Baki said. The other two nodded.
"You've been after Gato's money, are you!?" Tazuna yelled.
"More likely that Gato is on our payroll to help Akatsukidaitoshi prosper." Sesshoumaru said with a smile on his face as he appeared seconds later. Gaara had released the sand after the bridge builder tripped.
"Sand coffin!" Gaara yelled. Tazuna was covered in the cocoon of sand. "Sand funeral!" Blood spurted out in all directions. It was then, a short man with a round glasses appeared.
"I'm glad you've killed that annoying bridge builder. By the way, the name's Gato, and I wouldn't need to know your names, after all. Sesshoumaru here and I are on each other's payroll. And I get a surprise that Suna decides to help too!" the tycoon said.
"Well, give us the money after we kill the bridge builder's family too." Sesshoumaru said with a hint of malice.
"Agreed. And am I welcome to set up my business in your city, Sesshoumaru-sama?" Gato asked.
"Of course you're welcome. But you'll also do business in Iwa and Suna as well." the demon Hikage replied. After the conversation, the Suna/Akatsuki group left Gato, and proceeded to kill Tazuna's family. The credit for their demise was mostly given to Gaara, who felt happy that he killed other people. After the mission, the group traveled back to Suna, where they parted with the Suna siblings. Upon arriving at Akatsukidaitoshi, Sesshoumaru was surprised to see the Iwagakure Tsuchikage in his office.
(at the Hikage's office)
"Well, Hikage-sama, I came here, because I've heard that your city wants to blow the living hell out of Konoha?" the Tsuchikage asked.
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama. I've also heard that after the Great Shinobi World War, your village was forced to sign a treaty that benefited Konoha solely. Well, I'd like to reverse that, by proposing an economic and political alliance. Plus you'll be allied with Suna, since I've allied with the Kazekage." Sesshoumaru explained. "On the other hand, there are two former Konoha citizens that came to Akatsuki with me to get revenge on that hellhole for giving them a hard life."
"An alliance with Suna? You must be clever to get Suna to break ties with Konoha. That's one village down, and I don't know if there are any more villages that Konoha will be allying with?" the Tsuchikage asked. "All right, I'll sign this parchment."
After the treaty signing, Sesshoumaru proceeded to the training grounds, where his team were training.
"The chunin exams are coming soon, so I must get you three trained up. I've decided to train you all in improving your bloodlines, as well as teaching you new ninjutsus, genjutsus, and taijutsus. After that, I'll be tapping in into your beasts, and get them to train you three in demonic versions of the three jutsus that I will train. Bankotsu will also help, and his other group too, so you'd better be working hard." he explained. "To start this training, I'll be giving you all the master scroll, which has all the known jutsus from around the world."
The demon Hikage/sensei began to hand out three huge scrolls to the three genin. Naruto was shocked at how much jutsus he could learn.
"This is impossible. How can we master these jutsus in four months?" Naruto asked.
"This is when the sharingan would come in handy." Itachi said as he and Kisame appeared a minute later. "I'll have to use these jutsus, so that you three can copy it with your sharingan."
"Clever. We also need to improve our other bloodlines, Itachi-san." Neji replied. "Particularly the Byakugan based jutsus."
"That will be my doing as well." Sesshoumaru said. "As well as the Tengugan, which I have to help you three unlock the higher stage. I can see back in Wave that Naruto has alreay unlocked the Karite Tengugan. But there is a more powerful form than the Karite version. It is similar to the Mangekyo, but it requires the user to save one's life."
"Opposite to the Mangekyo Sharingan, which requires for a user to kill his or her best friend." Kana said. "Let's get started."
(meanwhile, with Team Seven escorted back to Konoha by Team Eight)
"What happened, Kakashi?" a woman asked. Her genin were checking for pulses from the knocked out genin of Kakashi's team.
"Kurenai, we've been attacked by a mysterious force, and I caught a glimpse of Suna nin." Kakashi explained.
"Kurenai-sensei, we'd better get them to the hospital for recovery." a boy with a dog on his head said. "I'm sure they'll be better in time for the chunin exams."
"Great idea, Kiba. Hinata, can you help us escort them to the hospital?" Kurenai asked.
"Wait, hold on. I may be able to heal them. M-my knowledge of h-herbs and m-medicine can c-come in h-handy in the t-time of t-this." a blue-haired kunoichi stuttered. "I-it was K-Kikyo-sama that t-taught me."
"All right, what is the remedy?" the kunoichi leader asked with interest. After the question, Hinata started to chant an ancient prayer, followed by dabbing some herbs into Team Seven's foreheads. A half hour later, she started to place a recovery sutra sheets into their foreheads as well, and again, she chanted another prayer. At that moment, Sakura was waking up, followed by Sasuke, and finally, Kakashi and Kenji. However, Kenji was feeling mad.
"Now I remember. The boy Naruto...He killed my parents! That demon!" Kenji sobbed.
"I-it s-seems t-that K-Kenji-kun has recovered his m-memories about N-Naruto-kun. P-please tell m-me more." Hinata said.
"There was another boy. He said 'My team will defeat your team. It is destiny.' He had an eye just like yours!" he sobbed again. Hinata hovever, felt something terrible.
"T-that w-was N-Neji-n-ni-san?" Hinata asked, and started to sob. Her long lost cousin was found, but he was changed. Neji Hyuga went from a faithful branch member to a deadly adversary.
The Konoha squad went straight to the Hokage's office. The Sandaime Hokage was anything but pleased. However, he wasn't angry.
"The mission was a failure, Hokage-sama. But it wasn't our fault." Kakashi explained.
"I know. It seems to me that your group have found the lost sheep. So tell me, you saw Naruto?" the Sandaime Hokage asked.
"Yes Hokage-sama. We also ran into Neji Hyuga, and a mysterious girl." he answered.
"They became even more powerful than the Sannin, through that demon lord. It's not your fault nor it is mine for Naruto's flight, as well as Neji's." the Hokage replied. "You four may leave."
Team Seven had left the Hokage's office, feeling even more saddened. It was that time they began to cry over finding the two people they thought was lost. But Naruto and Neji changed from an innocent pair of kids to a brutal sadistic pair of killers.
(back in the Akatsukidaitoshi)
"Konoha must be destroyed! I swear in my nindo. That's my ninja way!" Naruto and Neji yelled as they trained together.
"Hmm. I believe it's time to bring Naomi-nee-chan over." Kana said to herself, and disappeared. A minute later, She came back with another girl that looked like her, only a year older, and her beauty has rivaled that of one of the Sannin, Tsunade.
"Naruto, Neji. Come over here." she said. "This is Naomi, my older sister. Naomi, this is Naruto Uzumaki, and Neji Hyuga."
"These two? They must be handsome as a daimyo. I am Naomi, the container of the Six-Tailed Tiger, and my other teammates are Hiroshi Toshihiro, container of the Five-Tailed Eagle. And this is Kenzo Miyakawa, container of the Four Tailed Wolf. My teammates were also from Konoha, but left one day after Uzumaki left with Sesshoumaru-sama. Our sensei is Kagura-sensei." Naomi said as Kagura arrived, now clad in an Akatsuki kimono.
"I must say, my team, as well as Sesshoumaru's team will enter the chunin exams together." she said.
"Yes, Kagura-san. Apart from entering them in the exams, I feel like destroying the village that gave the boys a hard time." Sesshoumaru said as he appeared a moment later, this time accompanied by a little girl, and a small demon carrying a staff.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, just how are we going to destroy that place?" the small demon asked.
"Jaken, it will be in four months, and this time, three villages, plus our city will obliterate them." he explained.
Four months had passed by, and the Akatsuki teams were now powerful enough to defeat an entire platoon of ANBU Black Ops. Naruto, Neji, and Kana had learned all the jutsus through the timeskip thanks to the sharingan. Kagura's team had also undergone the enhancement during the four year timeskip as well. But now, the former Konoha emigres had something to get their revenge on. Later that night, the teams were gathered at the square before all the members, and Sesshoumaru was giving a speech.
"People of Akatsukidaitoshi. I have come here to you all, because soon, we will go to war with Konoha. Too long have we seen demon containers getting persecuted by them, caring only for their precious Sasuke Uchiha, who's going to be the jewel of their village. I say tomorrow, prepare for a full mobilization." he explained.
Itachi, Kisame, and the other members were clapping when their leader had finished.
"That pathetic brother of mine is no jewel, but he's got the capability to be the village's weapon." Itachi said.
"Yeah, but us allying with Iwa and Suna? Sasori and I must be having a nightmare! We're wanted on the bingo book!" the blond haired ex-Iwa shinobi said.
"Calm down, Deidara. Our leader has also noted that we be taken off the bingo book. So we're fine." Sasori said.
"Tobi, Hidan, Kakuzu, Pien, Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, Zetsu and Deidara. I believe it's time we induct the newcomers to our organization." Sesshoumaru said.
"Yes, leader-sama!" the members said in unison.
Teams Sesshoumaru and Kagura were in front of the demon Hikage, raising their hands, and holding a black flag with a red cloud, and a sun in the middle (refer to the Orb Union insignia)
"Do you all swear undivided loyalty to Akatsuki, and promised to protect them before yourselves?" he asked.
"Yes, Hikage-sama!" the newly inducted genin replied in unison.
That's it for now!
