Chapter Six
The other four Konoha ninja met up at Sachi's last post.
"Look!" Hayai said running over to the broken headset.
"That's not all..." Shikamaru said, looking at Sachi in the net.
Tenten pulled out a small hand sickle and threw it at the rope holding the net to the tree as it broke. Sachi fell on the ground with a thud and woke up.
"Good, you're up. Now what happened?" Shikamaru demanded looking at him.
Sachi glared back then looked away picking up his swords and sheathing them. "They kicked my ass and took her!" He said lowly.
"Then we'll just have to find Seira.." Tenten said aloud.
"Right!" Naruto shouted back agreeing.
"Then we have no choice." Shikamaru said with a light sigh as he turned to the others. "Let's go to Idato's and see if he's home. If he is we'll figure things out there. Our main priority is finding Idato." The others nodded as they left for Idato's home.
They arrived shortly, as they found a note pinned to the door. "Its a ransom..." Shikamaru said as he tore the note off the door.
"As expected..." Sachi said looking angry, yet that was his normal face.
They walked inside and saw Idato packing his things. It was a shock for them all to see Idato in such a bad mood.
"Hey Old Man... What are you doing?" Naruto said, stepping in front of everyone else.
"I'm going to get my granddaughter back. Its my only choice.." Idato replied without looking over.
"What?!" Naruto shrieked, "That crazy!"
"She's all I have left Naruto.." Idato said taking a deep breath. "I'll do what I can to get her back, if I have to tell Eiji where the sword is!"
"No..." Shikamaru said without hesitation.
"We're going to get her back!" Tenten said and nodded her head in agreement.
"Don't worry, you can count on us!" Naruto shouted, flashing him a smile and thumbs up.
"Alright then.. If you kids insist." Idato said throwing the bag over his shoulder, "Let's get going!"
Eiji sat in a large chair within his quarters. A fire crackled behind him leaving his figure as a shadowy silhouette. His eyes glowed in the darkness as one of his henchmen walked up and bowed to him.
"Lord Eiji..." The shinobi said rising up.
"Yes?" Eiji replied after a few seconds.
"Idato and the Konoha ninja are here sir. They request to speak about the ransom." The shinobi replied.
"Bring them in." Eiji said watching the door. Shortly after, the man escorted Idato in alone.
"Ahh Idato.. how unpleasant." Eiji said with no emphasis in his words.
"This isn't much of a picnic for me either Eiji!" Idato replied, keeping his eyes away from him.
"Yet are you willing to cooperate...? If not your granddaughter will have to answer to that consequence." Eiji spoke with no hesitation.
"I am.. I would do anything to ensure her safety!" Idato tipped his hat to hide his eyes more.
"Be careful of what words you choose Idato.." Eiji grinned almost happily in a sick and twisted way.
In the background a shadowy figure locked the door silently. Eiji snapped his fingers as two of his henchmen brought Seira out of her cell at next to Eiji himself. "Now.. your end of the bargain." Eiji said to break the silence.
"Here's the map.." Idato said as he threw it over, the map landing in front of Eiji's feet.
"I'm sorry, but I've decided to change my rules." Eiji smirked, "You are going to personally take me to the sword!" He glared when he saw the crude handwriting of cursed words of him written on the paper, he knew it was a trick. "Before we leave.." Eiji started.
"Hmm?" Idato said looking up, keeping his eyes out of view still.
"I think Kami should have her opinion." Eiji grinned.
"What?!" Idato said as he heard the rushing footsteps from behind him. He jerked around and saw Kami running at him, and before he could move it was too late.
Kami stuck him in the chest twice with her battle fans, and then punched him back as he flew through the air and rolled around the ground when he made impact landing near Eiji's throne. He struggled some trying to get up, as then he exploded in smoke. Naruto lay on the floor glaring at Kami who was in return smiling back.
"As I expected.." Eiji said, "Nothing but foolish child's play and trickery!"
Naruto growled as he stood up and faced Kami.
"I'll make you a deal boy. If you can defeat Kami I'll let the girl go.." Eiji said, smiling villaniously.
Naruto glared trying to ignore Eiji's words. He wasn't going to be fooled by any of his lies.
"But if you fail.. you will be the one who will be exterminated like the rat you are!"
"What's going on?" Shikamaru said outside the door as the others waited.
"I don't know but it doesn't seem too good!" Hayai said as if she could sense what was going on, "All we can do is hope Naruto survives."
"Come on kid. I've been waiting for a time when I wouldn't be interfered with.." Kami said cackling. "Your other attempts at a battle were feeble kiddie games.. This time I won't hold back just because you're a little brat!"
Naruto kept his flaring eyes on her as her growled back, "Yeah! Well I won't hold back just because you're a psycho freak!"
They both stared at each other, glaring the other down. Naruto was tensing himself as his blood rushed through his body. Eiji grinned sitting back in his chair as his men kept Seira by him to make sure she didn't run away. Naruto and Kami were facing each other yet again before another battle as this time, neither of them seemed to be playing around.
