Tsunade sat with her eyes closed against the walls to her cell and she heard the bottom of the door open up and she saw a tray of food slide through it.
Tsunade thought "I hate this. How much longer are they going to keep me here. The only one who comes by is the Tsuchikage and he just checks the security of the room, grabs all the dishes making sure I don't have any weapons and leaves. Why are they doing this to me. They won't even tell me what they want." As she breaks down and begins to cry.
After calming down she grabbed the tray of food and began to eat but mostly played with her food.
As she nearly finished the soup she blinked as a small amount of smoke came from her bowl and a piece of paper floated to the top of her soup and she grabbed the paper and read
Tsunade
Help is coming but it will take time. Don't give up hope. Remember, the hero always shows up at the last moment
Tsunade read the note over and over again memorizing the words and felt a little bit of hope fill her.
After about 5 minutes the note began to smoke and dissolved into thin air.
In a hotel room over looking the village Naruto stood with Neji who said "Mission successful Naruto."
Naruto said "Thanks Neji."
Neji asked "So have you found any way to save her yet."
Naruto was silent a moment and said "Yeah......I'm using what Iwa used to destroy Whirlpool to save Tsunade."
Neji asked "And that is what exactly.
Naruto said "Um....It would be better if you not know. It something Sakura would try and talk me out of and everyone would call insane."
Neji asked "But has that ever stopped you before." with a smirk on his face.
Naruto scowled and said "Yes..." and Neji gave him a deadpan look and Naruto said "Once." defensively.
Neji shook his head and went up in smoke and Naruto quickly left the hotel room and began to walk through the streets until he got to the park he first met Terra at and sat down to enjoy the beauty of the small park.
20 minutes later he saw Terra and Selen walk into the park and Selen quickly ran to play in the playground and Terra walked over and sat down beside him and asked "So....."
Naruto was silent a moment making Terra nervous and he said "It worked. The message was received and it appears greatly appreciated. I don't know how you were able to get that bowl with the seal I made to her though."
Terra said "Simple, the cook in the kitchen for the Tsuchikage was a fan girl of my late husband and when I told her I wanted to get some small revenge on Konoha for his death and showed her the bowl I told her that I had contacted a seal expert in the village and they created that modified storage seal and it would release a small odorless and tasteless drug into her food that would give her cramps as well as a bad case of the runs. She was more then happy to replace the regular bowl with the modified one.
Naruto nods and Terra asked "So have you figured out how to save her."
Naruto said "Yeah, thanks to the info you gave me on the village as well as the underground base in the valley outside of the village I have a plan already in action and thanks to a few specialized seals no one can detect what is happening there and they won't until it is to late and we are already several miles away from here."
Terra asked "And you won't tell me how your going to do it."
Naruto said "No, just make sure you use the scroll I made for you to store all of yours and Selen stuff in because once the ball starts rolling there is no stopping it and no way to turn back around either. Well I must be going. Don't want to become to suspicious."
Selen ran over and said "Uncle, can you carry me."
Naruto looked down at her and raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Terra and asked "Uncle."
Terra blushed a little and said "I wanted her to trust you should something happen to me so I told her you were her uncle."
Naruto got down on one knee and said "Maybe later Selen, uncle has some things he needs to do but once I am done with everything I need to do over the next few days I will carry you until you tell me to put you down, OK."
Selen said "OK Uncle foxy." as she ran back to play.
Naruto said "And nothing is going to happen to you." as he walked away without looking at Terra.
Terra thought "But you also have to rescue her so if it comes down to me and her at least Selen will be taken care of." as she watched him leave and then watched her daughter play.
Time skip 5 days before the deadline.
A Jounin walked up to the platform with 2 other Jounin's and he kicked the feet of a man who was currently underneath the platform nailing on it and he said "Oi, what you doing."
The man said "Hey, can you hand me the box of nails. I can't reach it." as he felt around for it.
The Jounin said "No I will not until you tell me what your doing. No one is suppose to be messing with this stage."
The man came out and it was Naruto without any disguise except he had on a pair of coveralls and he said "Well nobody told me about that before. I thought this was a public stage to for the people of Iwa and for the Tsuchikage to make important announcements."
The Jounin who was the only one to talk said "Your right about what this stage is for but only those authorized by the Tsuchikage may use it. Now what were you doing."
Naruto stood up and dusted his hands and said "You rock heads are really dumb fucks, you know that. Look at this stage and tell me what is wrong here."
the Jounin on the left of the first asked "What did you say buddy."
Naruto said "I said you were dumb fucks. You can't even tell that I have already replaced half the stage with new boards as well as properly securing it and treating the wood so what is wrong with the half I haven't touched does not happen again. The stage was rotting and was unleveled with several boards that were lose from people setting heavy objects on them."
The first Jounin grabbed the second one and said "Hold it Barus......Now who are you." as he looked at Naruto.
Naruto said "Naruto, Namikaze Naruto. I'm a freelance ninja as well as handyman. I do odd and end jobs to make enough money to pay for my food and bedding until I get tired or thrown out and then I find a new place to go. Stupid Konoha fuckers. I can't believe that fucking Shodaime threw me out after I saved his grandsons life."
All 3 mens eyes widen and all 3 held kunais at Naruto neck and Naruto snorts and said "Please kiddies, your about 20 years to young to challenge me in a fight." as all 3 kunais were suddenly sliced in half by wind chakra and Naruto sat back against the stage and said "Now if you don't mind. I'm trying to drum up some business by displaying my services to the people of Iwa." as he grabbed the hammer and pulled up the pant legs on his pants as he sat back down and began to climb back under the stage.
All 3 Jounin had a 'What the fuck' look on their faces. As they heard Naruto hammering again 2 of them grabbed his feet dragging him out from under the stage and the third one had pulled a sword off his back and held it at Naruto neck and said "Don't try that again buddy. Now you and us are going to see the Tsuchikage and if your lucky you might spend the rest of your life in prison."
Naruto asked "On what charge, pissing in your cereal or something."
The Jounin with the sword said "murder of 2 Iwa shinobi."
Naruto blinked and asked "What Iwa shinobi. I haven't done shit to any of your people."
The Jounin said "Do you deny that you killed 2 Iwa nin when you saved the Shodaime's grandson."
Naruto thought a moment and said "Hmm, I did kill 2 men while the third one ran away pissing his pants but I don't remember any of them having any Iwa headbands and I only killed those 2 in self defense after they tried to kill me for telling the one guy he wasn't going to rape that girl. He already had his pants undone and the girl was on the ground holding her face and her teammates were passed out with injuries. Sick bastard deserved to die, especially when he talked about what he did to his own Gennin teammate. I can't believe the bastard joked about maybe getting another sex slave for having his fun if he knocked her up."
The Jounin who kept losing his temper holding Naruto leg twisted it and said "Shut up you lair. Both those men were honorable Iwa Shinobi you murderer."
The one holding the sword said "Suppose I believe you, would you be willing to tell the Tsuchikage what you just told me."
Naruto said "Of coarse, like I said I came here looking for work. Not to play footsy."
The one who had Naruto leg twisted asked "What are you thinking Ryu. You can't believe his story."
Ryu said "Release his legs, he won't go anywhere for now but to see the Tsuchikage and I for one don't feel like carrying him so let him walk but don't try anything funny or I will kill you. Do you understand me."
A voice from behind them said "Oh I understand but could you please refrain from hurting my clones. Their a bitch to make." making all 3 turn and look at another Naruto who walked up with a lunch bag in his hand and a bottle of water while the one they had been talking to dissolved into mud.
All 3 men were shocked as they had been tricked by a mud clone. Ryu said "Well did you hear what your clone said."
Naruto said "Only the last part about playing footsy. What can I do for you gentlemen."
Ryu said "We want you to come to see the Tsuchikage for questioning."
Naruto shrugged and said "Fine as long as I can take my lunch."
Ryu said "That's fine, please." as he motioned toward the Tsuchikage tower.
Naruto began to walk while drinking his water and all 3 men followed him but he felt one of the men sending KI at him and he thought "making people pissed has to be a gift." as he entered the tower.
He was soon walked to the 4th floor to a pair of stone doors and Ryu knocked and after a few moments the door opened and Ryu walked in and said "Come."
Naruto followed and the other 2 men came in behind him and closed the door.
The Tsuchikage asked "Yes Ryu, what is it you come here for and who is this gentlemen."
Ryu said "This man is...."
Naruto interrupted him and said "Named Naruto Namikaze, freelance ninja and handyman at your service."
Ryu shot him a glare and the Tsuchikage looked at Ryu waiting for an explanation. Ryu said "As I was saying Naruto here claims he was the one who saved the grandson of the Hokage."
The Tsuchikage eyes were wide and looked at Naruto and asked "So this is the man who killed 2 of my men."
Naruto sighed and said "First off, the bastards didn't have any ID to tell who they were with and I only killed them in self defense after I stopped one from raping a little Gennin girl. With the way the guy talked it sounds like he was rewarded for doing it in the past. I don't have many things that piss me off but that is one of them."
The Tsuchikage thought "that little bastard. I warned him after he attacked Terra but since her father sold her to him I couldn't do shit about it." and he said "I see. So tell me, what are you doing here."
Naruto motioned toward the chair and asked "May I. I was taking a lunch break and left a clone to continue to work when these 3 showed up."
As Ryu saw the questioning glance from the Tsuchikage he said "Naruto here was working on the announcement stage."
Naruto who had already sat down said "Yeah, that thing was a deathtrap waiting to happen, the foundation on it was worn out, the boards were never weather treated to make them last longer and some of the support beams and flooring on it are weakened from people overweighting it. Odds are the next time more then 4 people stand on it the whole stage would have fallen to the ground." as he pulled out a ham sandwich and took a bite.
The Tsuchikage said "You don't seem very scared for someone I could kill for what you did to my men no matter what the reason."
Naruto said "I don't see any reason to be scared personally. The 3 behind me are about as strong as Orochimaru, Jiraiya Oil and Tsunade Senju are and I kicked all 3 of their asses together before I kicked Uchiha Madara ass. I never would have guessed the damn Shodaime Hokage would of got pissed at me for it and told me to leave and not come back, even after I saved his grandsons ass." as he took a drink of water.
The Tsuchikage leaned back in his chair eying Naruto and said "That some pretty big claim you have there."
Naruto said "It's true, you could ask the little princess your holding about it. I bet she's still pissed at me for beating her."
The Tsuchikage asked "And you know I have her how."
Naruto snorts and said "Don't insult me Tsuchikage. Everyone in your country knows you got her. People talk, especially when they want justice for whoever is attacking some of the smaller villages."
Barus asked "And how do we know your not here to try and rescue her."
Naruto looked back and asked "Did your mother drop you on your head as a baby. First off if I was here to rescue the little princess I would be avoid drawing attention to myself. Next I would be trying to find weaknesses in your village security to learn where exactly she was being held, what condition she is in so I would know if she was able to use her ninja training or have to sneak her out as a civilian before you discovered she was gone and then I would be staying away from people who would put the mission to rescue her in danger meaning everyone of Chunnin or higher and yet I am here in the damn Kage office eating my lunch without a care in the world because frankly. I could give a rats ass about the little princess. Personally I think she needs a good fucking to get rid of that high and mighty attitude she has but that's my opinion."
The Tsuchikage said "All 3 of you leave us. I wish to talk with Namikaze a few minutes alone."
All 3 bowed but Barus shot Naruto a dirty look before he left and the Tsuchikage said "You forgot to mention you could try and gain my trust to get close to her also."
Naruto said "True but then that idiot would have been more accusing then he already was. I still don't understand what his problem was. Were all ninja. We die on mission all the time. It's a part of life."
The Tsuchikage said "Very true. You said your a freelance ninja."
Naruto said "Yeah. My home village was destroyed a few years back by a group calling themselves Akatasuki. As far as I know I am the only known survivor and that was because I was away on a training mission with my godfather before he passed away."
The Tsuchikage asked "Akatasuki. I never heard of them."
Naruto said "Not surprising. I heard their all dead now. They wore black cloaks with red clouds and were made up of S-rank missing nins. I heard they died by the poison they used on my village to poison the water supply and kill all the people in it."
The Tsuchikage asked "And what was the name of your village."
Naruto said "Oto in Spring country."
The Tsuchikage said "Never heard of it."
Naruto rolled up his paper bag and threw it in the trashcan and said "It was a small country near Snow country. A Volcano kept the country warm enough to keep us from being turned into Popsicles like Snow country did. We were less then 20 miles wide so you can see how it would be easy to miss us. Especially since everyone thinks snow country is the last island that far north."
The Tsuchikage asked "So why were you working on the stage."
Naruto said "3 reasons actually. The first was advertisement to the civilians in your village. When they see my work they might hire me. The second was so I might be able to impress you and maybe get a few D-rank missions around the village. The third was to impress the ladies. Woman like men who have a body like mine and giving them a show might get me some company tonight." with a smirk on his face.
The Tsuchikage asked "Why D-rank mission. Surely if your as strong as you claim to be then you could go on higher ranked missions."
Naruto said "I try to only kill in self defense or protection. I never do anything that might make it seem as if I am joining one village over another. That way I always have a chance for future employment once you decide that I have used up my usefulness or I do something to tick off a local clan head and you tired of their bitching and ask me to leave. You won't kill me because I see things and hear things your men won't and I have skills that your men don't that someday you will hope to sway in favor of your village. I've been a freelance most my life. I've been offered things from the hand of of village leaders daughter to some of their most secret jutsu to join them as well as little gifts of all kinds the next time I am around to swing by so maybe I might join. That's why I am not scared. Your interested in knowing what I know and when you ask the 3 from earlier as well as the guy who ran away pissing his pants about my skills you will know I could cause a lot of damage before you took me out and that is something you can't afford right now. Especially with all the villages preparing for war." with a smirk on his face.
The Tsuchikage was not amused and asked "What's to stop me from killing you before you have a chance to leave this office."
Naruto looked out the window and said "Besides the fact the so called trash I threw in your trashcan a few minutes ago has an exploding tag of my own design drawn on it and should my chakra flair for a moment it would blow everything in this building and 4 square blocks to hell and back, nothing much."
The Tsuchikage actually paled at that and glanced at the trash can and Naruto said "Luckily I know your not a stupid man and try to attack me or you wouldn't be Kage of your village so the tag is currently in a feedback loop that will destroy itself right about...." the tag explodes in a small puff of smoke and the Tsuchikage looked dead into Naruto eyes and after a few tense moments he said "Don't get to cocky kid. I could have killed you at any moment." as Naruto felt a blade at his neck.
Naruto said "Then we both would have seen each other in hell, check between your legs."
The Tsuchikage looked down and was wide eyed as he saw a spike of sand an inch in front of his crotch.
Naruto asked "So, you want to hire me officially to finish that stage and do a few D-rank missions or you mind if I do freelance around the village for civilians."
The Tsuchikage was silent for several moments and Naruto could tell he was in deep thought and he said "What are you after. Theres more to you then meets the eye and nobody remains a freelance that long without a reason."
Naruto was silent a moment and said "Alright. You have 2 things I want."
The Tsuchikage asked "And that would be."
Naruto said "It will cost you. You want to know why I am really here and why I was around Konoha. To get that answer you have to agree to give me something first no matter if your willing to give me what I am really after or not. You agree to that then I will tell you why I am really here."
The Tsuchikage asked "And what if I don't agree with what you want."
Naruto said "Then you have to worry about why I am here and what to do about me."
The Tsuchikage asked "then what is it you want as the gift you want from me."
Naruto said "I want to be the one to kill the princess when it comes time. I want the last thing she sees is my eyes before she dies and to know that I keep my promises and I told her I would be the one to kill her."
The Tsuchikage asked "Why do you want her dead."
Naruto said "Because the bitch took something from me. Something very important and destroy it to get her revenge for me humiliating her during the match I had with her team and Madara."
The Tsuchikage asked "And that would be."
Naruto said "A scroll of medical jutsu. The jutsu were not that important but It belonged to a friend of mine named Sakura before she died. It was all I have left of her from my home village. The princess stole it and from me while I was packing my things to leave her village but I didn't know it until I was already away from the village and was going through my pack and I found a note she left me bragging about it."
The Tsuchikage put his fingers together and said "Very well. I will agree to let you be the one to kill her. Now what are you after."
Naruto said "I want your Bijuu, the Gobi and the Yonbi."
The Tsuchikage eyes were wide and he asked "What do you want them for."
Naruto smirked and said "I may have been kicked out of Konoha but not before I learned what I went there for." as vines began to grow out of the floor.
The Tsuchikage was defensive a moment and said "Your a Senju."
Naruto said "No, but I did learn the final stage on how to manipulate plants and I plan to use this power to destroy each of the Bijuu, Just like my father did when he killed the Kyuubi. I know where each of the remaining Bijuu are and I plan to hunt them down and destroy them all"
The Tsuchikage said "Your insane."
Naruto said "No, just emotionally motivated. The Kyuubi caused the deaths of my mother and father the day I was born. My village blamed me for most of the deaths the demon caused because my father was delivering me instead of killing the Kyuubi. Our village had a jutsu that destroys the very soul of anything but at the cost of the users life. I know this jutsu and I have spent years gathering information on the Bijuu and learning how to capture them so that way I can take all 8 of them out at the same time to avenge my parents and so that way no one else will ever have to feel the pain caused by a demon attacking their home. Then if you give the demons willingly to me then I am willing to give you a copy of a scroll with over 1000 jutsu that I have been collecting my entire life that will open the moment I die. Think about it, Raiton, Doton, Fuuton, Suiton, Katon, non elemental, and a few sub elements. Which would you rather have. 2 demons that might someday break free and destroy your village or jutsu that you can have all your ninja learn to make them stronger then ever."
The Tsuchikage asked "How can I be sure that you even have such a scroll."
Naruto smirked and pulled out a scroll and said "I was prepared for that. You got 20 seconds after this scroll is opened to look at the content before it will destroy itself. It is a sample scroll I created for negotiations. It has all 1000 jutsu but I doubt you will be able to memorize more then 10 at most if your lucky. Catch." as he tossed the scroll over.
The Tsuchikage looked at the sealed scroll and he took a deep breath and opened it and began to scan it quickly and his eyes were wide as the scroll destroyed itself and he looked at Naruto and asked "How long do you think it will take you to complete your goal to destroy the Bijuu"
Naruto said "Less then 5 years. Not quick enough for you to train your men for the war that is about to start but it will help you afterwards."
The Tsuchikage said "I will give you my answer in 5 days. The day of execution."
Naruto said "Very well. Until then I trust that your men won't bother me. I feel like some company tonight so I think I will see what I can find. I will finish the stage for free." as he turned and walked out of the office.
Once he was gone the Tsuchikage asked "So what do you think."
A female ninja appeared in the corner of the room with a bee flying into her sleeves and she said "I questioned the girl and she claims he gave her that scroll with medical jutsu. Not that she stole it but she seemed desperate and angry."
The Tsuchikage said "Perhaps it is because he was telling the truth and she wants to make it seem like he is not what he claims so we will think of him as an enemy or he is an enemy. For now I don't know for sure but I will see where he really lies the day of the execution. Have him shadowed by boulder but do not engage him. I want to see what he is up to."
The woman nods and leaves quickly.
Naruto smirked as he walked through the village and thought "Yes Tsuchikage, have your men follow me around and see what I am doing. While your eyes are diverted toward me and protecting the Bijuu my real reason here will go undetected." as he stomped a puddle in the ground and kept on walking.
In Tsunade cell she thought "that little bastard, he said I stole that scroll and Sakura gave it to me. He is only using me to get the damn demons. I can't believe he is here and using me like this. Hopefully whoever is here to rescue me lets me kill that blond bastard."
The next few days flew by and Naruto walked around the village doing little jobs, flirting with a few woman but never taking any to bed. Finally the day of the execution arrived.
Naruto stood on the new platform along with 6 Jounin of Iwa and he looked around the crowd and he smirked and thought "its show time." as he saw Tsunade walking toward the platform with her hands tide in front of her with the Tsuchikage beside her. Her eyes were glaring at him the entire time and he said "Hello princess, ready to die or are you waiting for a hero to show up at the last moment."
Tsunade spat in his face and said "I will kill you."
Naruto looked at the Tsuchikage and punched Tsunade in the stomach making her double over in pain getting several gasp from the people in the crowd and Naruto said "No....you won't." as he grabbed the ropes that had her hands tied and drug her over and placed her arms around a metal bar that ran through the log that he tied her hands behind and he turned to the Tsuchikage as he stepped away and said "So, have you made your decision."
The Tsuchikage said "Yes. I won't agree to hand over what you want. It is to big of a risk should you fail in your goal and other villages use theirs against us."
Naruto nods and said "Very well but know this. I will claim them someday. Shall we proceed."
The Tsuchikage turned and said "People of Iwa. Today we are gathered here to watch what happens to those who mess with our country. We have here Tsunade Senju, granddaughter of the Shodaime Hokage of Konoha."
The people booed as they heard Konoha name and Naruto shook his head and thought "someone really needs to do some PR for Konoha."
The Tsuchikage turned and said "This here is Naruto Namikaze. He will be the one who will carry out the execution."
Tsunade eyes were wide with fear as she began to look around the clearing as Naruto smirked turning to her and said "Told you, the last thing you saw would be my face."
Tsunade screamed "LIAR. YOU NEVER SAID THAT AND I NEVER STOLE THAT SCROLL."
Naruto asked "With your permission." as he turned to look at the Tsuchikage.
The Tsuchikage nods as he watched Naruto and Naruto saw how each of the other ninja on the stage were ready should he double cross them.
Naruto began to flash through hand signs slowly and said "You don't know how much I have wanted to do this Tsunade. They say that when a person dies they see their life flash before their eyes before darkness consumes them. I wonder if darkness were to consume you first would your life flash before your eyes." as he finished making hand signs and said "Goodbye. Hyouton:Eternal Sleep no Jutsu."
Snow began to fall around the village as the wind slowly started to pick up speed and Ice began to cover Tsunade body and she screamed "NOoooo." as Ice covered her completely turning her into 7 foot tall diamond of ice.
Everyone was shocked at this and Naruto said "And so she is dead. Frozen solid." as he knocked on the ice a couple of times with his hand and he held up his hand forming a Rasengan and he slammed it into the ice shattering it into millions of pieces as mist covered with the release of the air inside of the ice.
When the mist cleared there was nothing but small chunks of ice with red chunks of ice as well.
Naruto began to walk away as the crowd parted for him and he said "That.....was only a fraction of what I can do. Wait until I come for those." as he disappeared into a puff of smoke.
The Tsuchikage looked around and then looked down at the ice for several moments as the crowd began to leave and he picked up one of the red chunks and looked closely and rubbed it between his fingers and his eyes went wide and screamed "ALL NINJA ALERT, TSUNADE SENJU IS STILL ALIVE AND HAS ESCAPED. WE WERE TRICKED. BEGIN SEARCHING FOR HER IMMEDIATELY."
As the ninja began to search for Tsunade, a brown hair brown eye man named Kabuto walked into a house in the middle of town and he closed the door and asked "Well." as he looked around the house.
A shout of "Uncle Naruto."
The form of Kabuto was covered in smoke and Naruto appeared and he caught Selen who had ran into the room.
Terra walked in and asked "Did it work."
Naruto said "Yeah. Now are you ready to go."
Terra nods and asked "What should we do now."
Naruto said "Now.....now you need to take 3 steps to the right before you get hurt."
Terra blinked and asked "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh." as the floor she was standing on suddenly fell in.
Selen screamed "Mommy." as she tried to get free.
Naruto held her tight and said "Relax Selen, she is fine. Right Terra."
Terra voice echoed and she screamed "What the hell happened."
Naruto walked over to the now 5 foot wide hole in the floor and he jumped down about 20 feet and saw Terra rubbing her ass.
Naruto said "Watch that first step. Its a doozy." as he set Selen down who ran over to Terra screaming "mommy."
Terra grabbed her in a hug and whispered "Shh. It's OK dear. I am alright but what happened."
Naruto looked to the right and saw Tsunade still frozen and he asked "So Haku, did it work."
Haku said "Yes Naruto. I was able to in case her in a block of ice and when you used the Rasengan to destroy her I was able to replace her with the Ice and frozen red paint you had acquired and then I simply made a slide of ice to bring her here in the underground tunnels you created.
Naruto nods and asked "Will you unfreeze her now."
Haku nods and stuck his tails to Tsunade frozen form and the ice began to fall away and the sound of Tsunade chattering teeth was heard and Naruto said "Sorry about that hime but I had to make you believe that I was betraying you in order to get you out of there without killing anyone."
As the ice came off her feet Tsunade had covered her chest rubbing it with her arms trying to get warm and she glared at him and before she had a chance to say anything Selen ran over and said "Hi Popsicle lady. Are you the lady mommy and uncle Naruto has been talking about freeing."
Tsunade looked at Selen and then over at Terra and then at Naruto and she asked in chattering voice "Who are they and why are you here. Where is the rescue team."
Naruto looked sadly at Tsunade and asked "Do you know what black ops is Tsunade."
Tsunade eyes went wide a moment and she closed her eyes and said "I see. So why did you come here." still chattering.
Naruto said "You family asked me to save you. Your grandfather had to think of the entire village and not his own personal feelings and as much as I would like to tell you more we need to move. It won't be long before they start doing house by house searches and we need to get going or we will all die. Can you move or do you need me to carry you."
Tsunade glared at him and said "No.....I can walk."
Naruto nods and said "Selen, come here. I need to carry you so we can get out of here faster."
Selen runs over and said "Piggyback uncle Naruto."
Naruto said "Alright." as he let her climb on his back and he said "Listen, no matter what follow me and don't fall behind. I will get you both out of here. Haku, thanks for the help."
Haku nods and goes up in smoke and Naruto soon starts running down a tunnel and Terra throws Tsunade her jacket and said "Come on. He's a stamina freak so we better hurry." as she began to run after Naruto.
Tsunade looked around and thought "who would have ever thought I would escape from Iwa underground."
After about 30 minutes they came to a downward slope and Tsunade asked "What now fearless leader." with a sneer at Naruto.
Naruto pulled out a scroll and opened it and after looking through it he sent a chakra pulse into one of the seals in it and out popped several suits with glass helmets and Naruto grabbed one and began to slip it on and said "Believe it or not but these suits are designed to allow you to breath underwater for up to 6 hours without a break. Selen, I will have to carry you in your suit so don't get scared and hold onto me OK. Terra, Tsunade, your both going to tie the rope here to the belt loop on your suit and they will be connected to me. I had a couple of Kagebunshin map this out and make sure the info I had was right. This river flows to the Uzumaki River about 2 miles down stream. When we get there we will follow the river south until we hit Whirlpool. Don't try to use any jutsu Tsunade because you have a suppression seal on you I will have to release once we are safe."
Tsunade said "I'm not putting that thing on."
Naruto shook his head as he began to help Selen in hers and said "Then stay here and die princess. I saved you from execution with the help of Terra and her daughter. If you can't show some faith in us then you can goto hell." as he fastened the last buckle on Selen suit and asked "Are you OK Selen."
Selen said "Yeah Uncle. This is cool, can we really breath under water."
Naruto said "Yes we can. Do you need any help Terra."
Terra slipped on the suit and said "The zipper is stuck in the back. I can't get it to go all the way up."
Naruto walked behind her and zipped it up and she said "Thanks."
Naruto nods and tenses and said "Shit, we have to hurry. I left a kagebunshin back at you house and someone just broke the door in. Decide Tsunade, Come with me if you want to live."
Tsunade frowned a moment and nods as she quickly slipped it on and Naruto checked all the suits and tied everyone to him and he walked into the water holding Selen.
The other 2 slowly walked in and a few minutes later several people arrived at the underground river looking both ways and someone asked "What should we do."
Another voice said "Inform the Tsuchikage what we found. The rest of you go as far up and down stream as you can and find them."
All 4 in the water saw the people running on the water above them and Naruto thought "good thing I kept the suits my team used when we attacked Water country. Hopefully the Tsuchikage won't realize how important this river is because if he does Whirlpool will fall again.....maybe....maybe I might see my mother while were there." as he took step after step making sure every few minutes the others were OK
Selen was looking around excitedly and Naruto chuckled and thought "she is so innocent."
