Chapter 7 - Flashback in the East
{Somewhere is in the West}
"So Naruto, how was your trip back East?" Merlin asked as they traveled the land in search of members.
"For the most part great. However..."
{Flashback}
During Naruto's little vacation back in the Elemental Nation, it wasn't all pleasant. It was a simple visit to all his friends and helping people out on the way. It suddenly turns into a manhunt on him and his friends. It was the right call to where a full body knight armor during his reunion trip. However, it made him an easy target to identify. Not only did the Leaf Village hunted them down to kidnap them, there were some other groups that were interested in them.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here?" a voice came to the trio in the campsite. Naruto, Arturia, and Rin drew their weapons and prepare to fight who walk up to them. It turn out to be a pair wearing black cloak with red clouds and their signature hat.
"What does the AKatsuki want with three random people?" Naruto asked the leading one.
"We came here to recruit you three. Seeing how you easily defeated our own. Leader-sama hope that you would join." the leading one said. The pair pulled off their hat to reveal themselves.
"Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki." Rin said as she recognize them from the Bingo Book she grabbed from one of the dead Leaf Hunter-nin.
"We have no intention to join your organization." Arturia said as she ready Caliburn.
"Too bad." Kisame said with a mad grin. "That mean we will take you forcefully." He said as he charge with Samehada.
"Don't kill them Kisame." Itachi ordered as he continue to stare down the man with the armor.
"Back up Arturia if she needs it, Rin. I will handle this one." Naruto said. Rin nodded to his command.
Arturia easily block Kisame's attack.
"You are pretty strong for a girl." Kisame said with his mad grin. This only made Arturia mad. She began to push back the Monster of the Mist.
"Don't think that a woman can't defeat a man!" she shouted as she push back Kisame. Kisame noticed a cut on his cheek.
"Haha! Looks like I did underestimate you. Next time, I won't let it happen again." Kisame went in for another strike. Caliburn began to glow with prana for the strike. As soon as their blade made contact, Samehada tried to shred it. "What is going on? My Samehada should eat the chakra coming off the blade and break it." said a confused Kisame. The trio only smirk at his statement. Itachi picked up on that smirk.
"It's not chakra. How can your sword beat mine if it can only eat chakra." she once again overpower Samehada. Then she charge at him with a slash ready. Kisame barely dodge it.
"That is! Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!" Kisame shouted as he went through some hand signs. Then a large wave of water approach to slam into her.
"Caliburn!" Arturia shouted to her sword.
"Right!" Caliburn said as she prepared more prana for her next attack. Itachi and Kisame were surprised to hear her blade talk. She stab Caliburn to the ground. Caliburn release the prana stored up and released it underground. It caved in the floor right in front of her, creating a large enough crater for Kisame's jutsu to fill up. Sparing her the disadvantage of fighting on water. She was a normal human, but a hell of a lot stronger than the one in the East. She can't do any special tricks, but she can handle a lot more than ninja and civilian alike.
"This will take too long." Itachi then went through some hand signs himself to aid his partner. "Fire Style:Phoenix Sage Fire" Multiple fireballs went for Arturia. Then suddenly several weapons came out of gold ripples behind Naruto and destroyed them. Arturia gave him a nod of gratitude and went on to continue to attack Kisame. Rin just stayed back and watch.
"This is their fight. Don't interfere." Naruto said while crossing his arm and look intimidating toward Itachi. There were dozen of gold ripples behind Naruto, ready to be released and strike Itachi.
"Is there anyway to convince you to join the Akatsuki, King?" Itachi asked once again to 'King'.
"No" he replied.
"So be it. Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson" Itachi said as he threw some shurikens at him and coated them with fire. Naruto only fired his noble phantasm at them with great precision. He destroyed all of them. Naruto then charge at Itachi with Excalibur. He was aiming for his head.
'Fast. I can't dodge this or substitute myself in time.' Itachi thought as he prepared his triumph card. Red rib cage began to appear all around them. Excalibur couldn't cut through the ribs made of chakra.
"Master, be careful! This technique is very powerful!" Excaliburn worn her master. He only jump back and examine Susanoo.
"This is Susanoo. The Uchiha's ultimate defense and power." Itachi said as his Susanoo grew a skin.
"Interesting." Naruto said as he drew a weapon from the Gate. It was Caladbolg: The Rainbow Sword. "I wonder if the Uchiha's ultimate defense can withstand two legendary weapons?" Itachi narrowed his eyes at the two swords in his hand. He didn't recognize those blade to be any legendary weapons. So he guess they were weapons lost to time. He is half-correct. There are weapons in the Gate that were lost, but there are some that people came into possession. The Gate pulls the weapon out of time and space in the past, so he can use them without any repercussions to the weapons that are still around in the present.
He them charge at the humanoid jutsu while gathering as much prana into his blades. "Take this!" he slash Itachi with both blades full of prana. Only to break the jutsu into it bone stage.
'Not good. That was too much power to take on.' Itachi thought as he analyze the situation.
"Kisame!" he shouted to gather his partner's attention. Kisame was surprise to see him pull out Susanoo and see it in that state. Kisame struggled in their spars to get it in that state. Naruto did it without any problem. "We won't win this. Retreat." Itachi then turn into a flock of crows and disappear.
"Go ahead and leave. I have seen enough that I'm strong enough to hold my ground to one of the best in this nation." Arturia said. Kisame picked up on the 'this nation'. People would say country or village. She said nation, as in Elemental Nation. This was something he need to bring up later with his partner.
{End of Flashback}
"So the Akatsuki are interested in recruiting you three? At least we know that they aren't much to deal with." Merlin replied to his story.
"True, but they were annoying. We ran into the zombie duo, Hidan and Kakuzu. They were kidnapping the two tailed jinchuuriki. We stopped them, but we ran into them more often. They tried to kill us or recruit us. However, the Leaf was persistent in their attempt to kidnap us." he said tiredly.
"How so?" she asked.
{Flashback}
"Damnit!" Minato slammed his fist onto his desk. "How can they defeat all the hunter-ninja I sent!?" he yelled in frustration.
"Minato calm down! We knew that they were powerful to take on the Akatsuki on their own. You can't expect that we can kidnap them so easily." Jiraiya told his student.
It has been several weeks since he falsified the records of one Saber, one Rin, and one Arturia into the Hidden Leaf Records. All attempt to kidnap them for their power they have. Many hunters died in their attempt to capture them. All were sent back to the front of the gate of the Leaf in bodies bags. Shocking many civilian and ninjas. Even, Jiraiya's spies began to disappear when searching for information on them. He concluded that they were killed.
"I can't keep searching for them. Who ever those three are, they are killing too many ninjas and my spies. We will need all of them against the Akatsuki and Orochimaru in the future." Jiraiya told Minato with a frown. He can't support his student's decision to continue to hunt for three unknowns. Not with causality count rising.
"Fine then! Jiraiya, as Hokage, I order you to gather a team and track and capture those three." Minato ordered.
"Fine, but I'm telling you. It won't end well." Jiraiya responded.
"You are a Sannin for god sake. That should be enough to take them down."
"DAMNIT MINATO! They took down members of the Akatsuki. Only one easily overwhelm two members at the same time. It's safe to assume that the other two can do the same. Doing this will get more killed. I may be a Sannin, but there are limits." Jiraiya yelled at him. Tired with the many attempts that ended in failure. It was too much like Orochimaru and Cloud village. He didn't like how the village is being run now.
"You have your orders." Minato said with authority. Jiraiya left through the door and went to go gather a team for a suicide mission.
"Minato, are you sure this is the right choice?" Kushina asked as she came from behind Minato.
"Are you doubting me now?" he ask Kushina as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"No, but-"
"But nothing. This is all for the Leaf." He said to end the conversation. The main excuse he told himself and to everyone else. She only left and went back home to check on Mito.
Jiraiya gathered the best of the Leaf to capture the trio. On the team were Kakashi, Guy, Kurenai, and Asuma. They were the best in their field of expertise and the best the Leaf had to offer. He brief them on the mission. Asuma and Kurenai didn't recognize the name of the supposed 'rogue' Leaf ninja. Kakashi and Guy only frowned hearing who their target was. Guy went on about how 'un-youthful' this mission was.
They manage to track them down close to Lighting Country. The trio finish up business with the rescue of the two tailed jinchuuriki. The 'retrieval' team were waiting for them to get a good distance away from the border, so they don't draw the attention of any Cloud ninja. Then they jump in front of the trio.
"Hold up right there. By order of the Hokage, you are to be return to the Leaf. Rin, Arturia, and Saber." Jiraiya said. To sound as if they were there to retrieve rogue leaf ninjas.
"They are still on it?" Arturia asked out loud.
"They don't even know our full names." Rin said.
"I bet they don't even know that Saber is just a name I made up." Naruto said out loud.
Their comments confused Asuma and Kurenai because they were still left out on the truth. They look at their supposed traitorous comrades and didn't recognize them, but they had orders to capture them.
"Rin, Arturia. I will deal with the guy with big white hair. You guys will deal with rest." getting a nod from his friends.
{Naruto vs Jiraiya}
"Why won't you guys leave us alone? We did absolutely nothing against your village." Naruto asked.
"Sorry, Saber, but you guys are too powerful to be left alone. The Leaf needs your power." Jiraiya responded.
"You don't even know my names or who we really are. Then you decided to put us in your Bingo Book as rogue ninja from your village. That is just sad." Naruto said while he wanted summon his Gate and prepared a lot of noble phantasm. Jiraiya flinch at his comment. He always thought that the Leaf is the best and didn't need to do anything pathetic. He thought they were above the world. Now he is living his nightmare, the Leaf Village in a desperation situation.
"Just surrender." Jiraiya ordered.
Then a dozen of noble phantasm shot out toward Jiraiya. Jiraiya didn't get out unscathed. He lost his right arm immediately from the barrage of powerful weapons. "I'm tired of your village. You believe to be gods, but you're far from it. The closest one to god is me. I'm the Once and Future King." Naruto announce. Even in pain, Jiraiya paid attention to what he said.
'Once and Future King? What is that suppose to mean?' Jiraiya thought as he would investigate it later.
"Give up. I already took away your arm. You won't be able to perform any of your powerful jutsu without both arms. You're just so weak." he taunted him.
He charge at him with a rasengan. Only to have Naruto use Excalibur to block the attack with ease.
"This is boring. You are no longer capable of fighting me where many have failed." Naruto said coldly and kick Jiraiya away into a wall. Putting him out of the fight.
'That man is ruthless.' Jiraiya thought as he fell unconscious.
{Arturia and Rin vs Asuma and Kakashi and Guy and Kurenai}
"Surrender! We have you out number!" Asuma shouted at the pair of girls.
"True, but..." Rin said, until Arturia continued.
"We have you out match. We each fought members of the Akatsuki single handedly. Can you say the same?" Arturia said with a smirk. Making all of them flinch. They knew that all of the members were powerful and they couldn't take them on solo. Hearing that they could, drop their moral.
"It doesn't matter we will capture all of you" Kakashi responded.
"Hey Arturia. Since this isn't a fair fight, you may want to drop the Code of Chivalry for now." Rin said as she pulled out multiple jewels.
"Only this once." Arturia said while drawing Caliburn. "I will take the one in green and the one with one eye. They are close quarter combatants. They may prove to be as strong as Kisame. Shame that we didn't finish our fight." This new piece of information surprised the Leaf ninjas. Kisame is easily one of the best fighter of the Akatsuki. She then went to face her opponents.
{Arturia vs Kakashi and Guy}
"I hope that you two will be better than Kisame. He may be powerful, but my sword skills far surpass his." Arturia said as she prepared herself to fight the duo.
"Guy, we can't take any chances." Kakashi said then activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Alright, Gate of Opening!" Guy said as chakra started to rush out of his body.
"Caliburn, any advice?" she asked her blade.
"I will prepare for countermeasures. Just be ready to react." Caliburn said as she prepare to perform some magic. Arturia couldn't use prana, so she depends on Caliburn herself to perform any magical attack.
Guy rush in for a kick. Only to have Arturia instinct takeover and dodge it. She then turn around to take a slash at him.
'Her reaction speed is so fast!' Guy thought as she watch her move faster to counter his attack.
Kakashi jump in between them to block her strike with a kunai. He could have attack her, but he didn't want to risk losing his friend. The two jump back after countering her.
"Kakashi, she moves fast. We won't be able to take her on without taking some hits." Guy told Kakashi.
"Alright. Just keep pressing her and I will look for an opening." Kakashi said.
"Gate of Healing! Gate of Life!" Guy shouted and charge right back in.
Guy went in with a barrage of attacks. Arturia was only able to block them. Then Guy jump above her. Arturia notice that Kakashi sent a fireball at her. She struck the ball with enough prana to divide the ball in half to avoid her. Guy went in to attack her from behind. It knock her away, but her armor took most of the damage.
'This man hits hard.' she thought as she felt the pain to her back from the kick.
"Are you ready Caliburn?" she asked. She was beginning to get worried about the fight. She didn't think she can take both on at once.
"Just strike the ugly looking one. It will take away his power. This technique is link to his life. I can disturb it." Caliburn said as she began to glow a golden color.
She went in to attack Kakashi instead due to Guy being faster than her. Arturia went in with many slashes to keep Kakashi in CQB. Then Guy went up to attack her from behind. She was prepared this time. She place the edge on her back to cut/block his attack. Guy was going to fast to stop himself. His leg was cut by the blade. Then he suddenly started to cough up blood as the Gates that were open were forcefully closed.
"Guy!" Kakashi shouted in fear for his partner. "What did you do?" he said threateningly toward Arturia.
"I force him to close all the points in his body. Resulting in his body destroying itself from the chakra circulating throughout his body. With all the chakra circulation and the points closed, he's dying." Caliburn answered. "You can leave your partner to die or leave and save his life."
'Damnit! I need to captured them but...' Kakashi thought. 'Those that abandon their mission are scum. Those that abandon their teammates are worse than scum.' Kakashi heard his own statement and thought about his father again. 'Guy's life is more important.' Kakashi went over to grab Guy and left the battlefield to get him help. 'Damnit! Why didn't we bring a medic!?' he thought in frustration. The reason was there weren't any ninja medic that would be useful. Shizune and Tsunade were the one capable of fighting and healing, but they left.
{Rin vs Asuma and Kurenai}
"Do you really believe that you can capture us?" Rin asked them as blue lines started to form both her legs and arm.
"Even if you beat an Akatsuki member, you are still outnumber." Kurenai told her. She went through some hand signs to cast a genjutsu on her.
"You do know that each member of the Akatsuki are capable of taking down squads of elite ninjas?" Rin replied.
"What the hell is going on? You should be in my genjutsu!" Kurenai shouted as she saw that she wasn't affected by her jutsu.
"Genjutsu work on people that have a chakra network to mess with?" Rin replied. Shocking both Leaf ninja. To hear that she doesn't have a chakra network is unbelievable. In their mind, you need chakra to be powerful. Rin charge right at Kurenai with a powerful punch. She was sent flying away.
"Kurenai!" Asuma shouted as he witness his wife flying away like a bug being swatted.
"You shouldn't take your eyes off your opponent." she whisper to Asuma when punching him. Asuma was able to block it with his right arm.
'Damnit. Her punches are as hard as Tsunade-sama.' Asuma said mentally. The punch left him with a broken left arm.
"Come on. Even with the Akatsuki, they manage to not take any damage in the first minute." Rin shouted to Asuma disappointedly.
Asuma channel wind chakra into his trench knife. He went to cut her. However she threw one of her jewels at Asuma and it exploded. Forcing Asuma back with several burns.
"I can and will kill you if you continue. Don't you have someone back home to go to?" she ask Asuma to give him a chance to leave.
'Kurenai. Konohamaru.' Asuma thought as he did have people to live for. 'I want to have a son too.'
With those thought, he went over to pick up Kurenai who wasn't looking too well. He grab her and left. He didn't want to lose Kurenai and he knew that trying to capture any of the three will get them killed.
"You had it easy Rin." Arturia told her as she approach her. "My fight was a little tougher, but nothing I can't handle."
"Did they run away too?" Rin asked.
"Ya they did. It at least care enough to save their comrades." Arturia said with a smile. She was a knight at heart and value those that fight along with her.
"They were too easy!" Naruto said as he came out of the bush. "The legendary Toad Sage my ass. Just one wave of noble phantasm and he went down."
Several days has past and the Leaf squad manage to get back home. Jiraiya, Kurenai, and Guy went into intensive care. A missing arm with a lot of blood lost wasn't good. Guy chakra network was damaged severely, but it he was able to recover with time, a lot of time. Kurenai suffered from multiple broken bones and internal bleeding. All were able to recover, except for Jiraiya's arm.
"Minato we have a problem." Jiraiya told Minato from outside of the window. It has been a month since he got out of the Intensive Care Unit. He went to check on his spies and look for Tsunade. He thought the worst when Naruto mention her and he needed her to get her a new arm. To only find out that she disappear.
"What is it?" Minato asked as he stopped working on the paperwork.
"I check with my spies, they lost the three and too many died searching for them. They refuse to look for them anymore." Making Minato frown. "Worst, Tsunade and Shizune disappeared." he said with a frown.
"What!?"
"During my fight with King, he mention Tsunade. I went to check on her after I got out and she is missing. My spies couldn't find anything on them. I'm afraid that they left or were captured."
"This isn't good. We can't lose another Sannin. Not to these three unknown."
"I think she left. I check and she took both the Scroll of Seals and all the Uzumaki scrolls."
"DAMNIT!" Minato shouted in anger. He was okay with her leaving if she was still close to the village. Now she left the country with the Leaf's secrets.
{End of Flashback}
"Well they sound like they won't be a problem in the future. They will be able to easily dealt with if they act up." Merlin said to his story.
"Ya. Who are we going to look for first?" Naruto asked Merlin.
"We are looking for the leader of the Ten Commandments from the demon race." Merlin said seriously. Surprising Naruto that they would go for one of the strongest in the West.
"Relax. There have been some issues with him and this race. I think this would be the best chance to get someone strong on our side. Besides he might be the new leader of the Seven Deadly Sins."
