Next chapter of Revenge of The Fox Shippuden. Naruto and the other Sound Nins continue their mission to capture the Three Tailed Turtle Beast and use it in Orochimaru's conquest. However, unknown to them The Leaf Resistance is attempting to stop them and there is also threats on the inside as well.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki was walking outside of the base that the group was using as a temporary headquarters while they planned their next move to capture the Three Tailed Jinchuurki. Him, Kabuto, Zaku Abumi, Kimimaro, Hinata Hyuga, and Guren and her team having been given the task to capture it with the use of Yukimaru. Their first attempt had ended in a disastrous failure and Naruto was going to make sure that it didn't happen again the next time they did it.
But he was also thinking of other things as well. There was the Leaf Resistance, lead by Jiriaya who from their hidden bases proved to be a hindrance to him and Otogakure. The time would come where he would have to deal with them himself as the past people Orochimaru had put in charge of destroying them had failed miserably including a battle a year ago they had lost to them that had severed a potential alliance between them and other countries. Naturally he was called upon by him afterwards to remind those who had screwed up…
That failure was not tolerated.
They weren't the only threats though, the other of the five great ninja villages, even their allies, where all watching, ready to step in at any time Sound showed a sign of weakness as currently they where the strongest but Naruto knew that in the world they lived in, it took only a moment for the haughty to have their throat slit and their bodies pick pocketed in the mud by someone else.
Then there was Akatsuki, the organization that had been quiet for the past couple of years ever since he saw Sasuke's brother Itachi. The organization had desired him, and the other Vessels of the Tailed Beasts so they could conquer the world with their power. Naturally that made him a target.
Tsunade's task force she had created was to deal with them as she was training them to combat the threat from them and they did include a good number of fellow ninjas that where his friends. But he couldn't help but feel that she couldn't be trusted. She maybe swearing that it's focus was to destroy the Akatsuki but he knew her history. She was a Sannin, and perhaps more dangerous than his master and if not for her capture would've opposed them and joined the Leaf Resistance.
No matter, whatever problems, whatever dangers that stood in his and his master's path he would deal with them.
As he stood there his thoughts where turned to a certain redhead and he smiled. A shame she wasn't able to come here with him as he would've enjoyed Tayuya's company. The Flute player who was his closest friend and companion who he trusted and valued, even above Orochimaru-sama.
Once he got back he'd make it up to her, take her on a vacation, just the two of them, somewhere nice or something. They've earned it, both of them.
Suddenly a feeling of danger entered him and an explosion went off nearby.
"The hell?" He shouted snapping out of his thoughts and he a thick cloud of gas surrounded him. He covered his mouth thinking it was poison and looked around.
His eyes widened in shock when he saw in the distance several fireballs coming right at him.
"Shit!" He shouted and leapt in the nick of time as the fire hit the gas and it exploded and he narrowly got out of there, that would've incinerated him.
"Show yourself!" He called out snarling pulling out his crossbow when suddenly a ten foot wave of water was fired at him. Using his chakra he created a shield to protect himself as the water pounded down on him.
"Smoke Dragon!" A voice shouted and he turned and saw a dragon made of smoke appear and engulf him.
"Damn it!" Naruto shouted losing his concentration as he was being suffocated by it and the water now no longer being stopped overwhelmed him.
The water stopped after taking him far away from the place he was at and he coughed up water as air filled his lungs. He looked around his surroundings and saw himself in a forest filled with large trees.
He smelled smoke and turned and saw that several of them had paper bombs on them about to go off.
"Shit!" He shouted as they exploded and the several trees fell. He ran avoiding the lumber and dodging and avoiding being crushed.
"Whoever did this will pay!" He said and his eyes flashed red in anger. He then heard another explosion and looked up and saw the largest tree in the area which had taken multiple bombs to do so timber and fall down.
He cursed in anger and crossed his arms in an attempt to defend himself as it fell down upon him as he disappeared from sight.
"See, what did I tell you? He'd be easy to kill." The leader of the group of four said looking on. "A fitting end for that arrogant lapdog."
The four sound nins looked on at the destroyed site and each one believed it to be the grave of the boy.
"Your plan actually worked Rinji, I can't believe he's dead." Nurari said the feminine nin to his side.
"There's one thing you should never do, and that's underestimate my plans." The green haired man said a bat on his shoulder feeding it. "With him out of the way, we work on our next move, getting Yukimaru." He stated as with him was Nurari, Kigiri, and Kiho.
"We get the boy, and Orochimaru-sama will have no choice but to give in to our demands right?" Kigiri said to him with Kiho at his side.
Rinji nodded. "With his lapdog dead he'll have no choice but to give into our demands, He'll make us Jonin and give us the power we deserve. We'll kill the others as well if they interfere, hell we can even ransom the boy to other countries telling them about his special ability to interact and control the Three Tailed Turtle."
"What about Guren? She protects the boy nearly all day." Nurari asked him.
"Leave her to me, she may appear dangerous but I can handle her. You get the boy while I'm doing that. And kill Gozu as well, I don't trust that big ox." He said as he had purposely left the silent member out of it believing he wouldn't cooperate with them.
He had played on the other three's fears, telling them that they'd just be used as fodder and sacrificed the next time they tried to get the Tailed Beast. Playing on their doubts and loyalty he had convinced them to go along with his plan and thus they had set off on the first part of it, eliminating Naruto Uzumaki whilst he was away from everyone else. Now the next part was to get the boy and use him as leverage over the others.
"Let's go," He mentioned and the four disappeared in a blur.
At the base Zaku Abumi looked at his opponent and then back to his hand. The rather brash Sound Ninja looked at his hand and at his opponent's face studying them both. His opponent's face didn't change one bit and a drop of sweat appeared on Zaku's forehead.
"I fold…" He muttered tossing his hand of cards down. "What did you have Gozu?"
The big man placed his cards on the table and Zaku face palmed in disbelief. "Never should've taught you how to play poker." He said as he could've beaten that hand easily if he didn't have such a good poker face.
He went to shuffle the deck when a blade came down on the table and cut them in half surprising him and he nearly fell out of his chair.
"Enough games!" Guren snapped at both of them a crystal blade produced from her wrist. "Get your asses outside!" She ordered and walked away from the room
"Yes, Guren." Gozu said and got up from the table.
"Is she Tsunade's smaller chested niece or something?" Zaku grumbled under his breath so she wouldn't hear.
Guren walked over to the room the boy was staying at and opened it a crack and paused. She saw the boy at a table looking over a camellia that was in a crystal. She looked over him as that crystal was the one she had made for him. Having made it when he was sick and she had to look after him. Telling him that as long as she was alive it would never break and the flower would never wither and stay alive forever never losing its beauty.
She looked at the boy and a smile graced her lips.
"Yukimaru," She called out to him but with none of her usual malice or anger. The boy lifted his head and looking at her smiled and got up from the chair. "It's time for us to go."
The boy placed the crystal inside his outfit and walked towards her smiling. She lead him outside and much to her irritation saw that only half of the group was there.
"What the hell? Where the hell is everyone at?" She snapped at the four who was there. "Where's Naruto and Rinji and his lot?"
"I don't know, last I saw he was going for a walk and that was an hour ago." Zaku said rubbing the back of his head.
"K-Kabuto said he w-was g-going on up ahead." Hinata mentioned as well the long haired Hyuga standing next to Kimimaro. "Something a-about getting a b-better v-view of the area."
"Where the hell are those idiots!" Guren said with a growl. "Perfect time to go-"
"We're right here Guren-chan." A voice called out and she snapped her head the other way glaring as she saw Rinji and the others walking towards them. "Where's Naruto at? I figured he'd be here by now." He said with a grin and the others chuckled.
Kimimaro glared at them suspicion in his eyes as he noted they seemed too relaxed and unconcerned when before they had loudly protested the mission having to at blade point to go along with it. He subconsciously allowed a bone to form, ready to sprout at any given moment.
"Naruto will be back soon, he wouldn't miss something like this." Zaku said.
"Unless he decided to take a nap." Kigiri mentioned and Nurari cackled along with Kiho.
"Enough you three," Rinji said but was smirking as well. "He'll show up eventually, let's get done with this mission and head home."
Guren huffed in irritation as she glared at the group. "We'll meet up with Kabuto up ahead. All of you get moving!" She ordered and took the lead with Yukimaru walking with her.
"Hmmm, quite a bit of damage done to this place." The Jonin said with him an ANBU and a group of Five Leaf Nins as they surveyed the destruction.
"Whoever did this planned ahead, each one a carefully made attack." Yamato said to him and turned and looked at the ninjas. "If Sound gets a hold of that Three Tailed Beast, it'll be catastrophic to us and the rest of the Shinobi world."
"Agreed." Kakashi said to him. "We cannot let them capture the beast, we must either seal it or kill them. That may include Hinata as well." He said and looked at the two male ninja who nodded. "Let's hope it won't come to that." He said to Shino and Kiba.
"The boy, this Yukimaru appears to be the key." Shikamaru Nara said. "We get him, that'll halt their attempt. I can get him with my Kage Mane, the rest will have to be taken out. Once we get him, that will foil Orochimaru's attempts."
"That is correct, we cannot fail this mission." Kakashi said and his tone told the seriousness of the mission. "It would be disastrous to us, and other countries if Orochimaru got another Tailed Beast under his control. We cannot let that happen, Hmmm?" His head then turned and looked at a different area.
"What is it?" Yamato asked him.
"I thought I sensed something." Kakashi murmured in response. "Must've been my imagination."
"Let's go!" Yamato said and the Leaf Nins moved on knowing the importance of the mission.
An hour later the Sound Nin group was heading towards the lake where the Giant Turtle resided. Each one on guard as they made their way.
Gozu, the big man however noticed some of the looks Rinji and the others would give each other. As if communicating in a silent code. This confused the stoic man who wondered what they was planning.
The group soon came upon Kabuto who was waiting for them.
"Good to see you arrive, where's Naruto?" He asked his face shifting to a frown.
"He hasn't shown up. I don't know where he is. This isn't like him." Guren said with a shrug.
"Probably gone AWOL," Kigiri mentioned earning a chuckle from Rinji and a severe glare from the others.
"And he said he'd make sure we'd succeed." Kabuto muttered in disgust, this was unlike the Fox boy who was always there whenever he was required. "No matter, I'm sure it's a small matter. Yukimaru come here," He ordered and the boy stepped forward. "I've developed some new stronger pills for you. These will extract your chakra at a much greater rate and put more of a strain on your body. But nothing serious, this will bring the Turtle to us and enable you to control it better."
The boy nodded understanding. "Good, now then it's not too far from here. Let's go." Kabuto said and they continued.
As they continued and with no further sign of Naruto which worried Zaku not thinking he'd so something like this.
They came to a clearing soon and Kabuto ordered them to stop.
"Rinji," He said turning to face them. "Release one of your bats." He ordered.
"My bats?" Rinji said in a protesting sort of tune.
"Yes one of your pets, bring one here and have it fly across this area."
"I see no reason to do that."
"Do as I say," Kabuto ordered glaring at him who shrugged and produced supersonic waves.
A small bat appeared and flew across the area and it communicated with Rinji giving him info. There was one piece of info that intrigued him as well but he kept it hidden from the others.
"See there's nothing here, you made me waste chakra for nothing." He said after it flew away.
Kabuto glared at him and mentioned for the others to move on.
However, Zaku, Hinata, and Kimimaro didn't follow after.
"What are you doing? C'mon!" Guren snapped at them not understanding why they stopped all of a sudden.
"I…can't…move!" Zaku said as it felt as if something was holding him.
"Something's…got a hold of me!" Kimimaro shouted as he struggled.
"M-Me…too!" Hinata said as well.
"What in the world?" Guren said not understanding as unknown to her Rinji and the other three positioned themselves behind Yukimaru.
"Kage Mane," Kabuto said distastefully as he looked at their shadows and saw them being grabbed. "The Kekkai Genkai of the Nara clan…show yourselves Leaf Ninjas!" He shouted.
"Here I am!" A voice shouted and a green blur appeared and launched a kick at Kabuto who dodged it, the blur moving at great speed disappeared and headed up into the trees.
"So The Leaf has shown up," Guren said looking up at the trees and saw a group of Leaf ninjas.
"We will not let Orochimaru gain possession of the Three Tailed Turtle Bijuu." Kakashi said. "His reign of terror will not extend to the other countries of the Shinobi world."
"You fools! It is not your place to decide what he shall do!" Guren snarled at them. "His reign shall extend to the other villages and crush those who resist the same way we crushed Konoha it would be wise to accept his rule and hope to be blessed by him."
"Wake up and smell the bullshit!" Yamato snapped at her. "That, monster's blessing has killed thousands of people. You believe that horrible man is right? How could you be so foolish to follow such a person. The people he's killed and ruined, even young babies which he spares no remorse or care for, that is what you want to join?" He said getting furious at how she'd follow such a monstrosity.
"Kiba…Shino…" Hinata said looking up and seeing her former teammates. Kiba's face softened upon seeing her and so did Shino's even though it was hidden. With them was Shikamaru, Rock Lee, and TenTen.
"You are messing with forces beyond your ability to comprehend. The Three Tailed Turtle if unleashed will destroy everything in its path. It's an uncontrollable beast." Kakashi said to them.
"To you perhaps, we have found a way to subdue it." Kabuto said in response. "Once we have it we'll flush out the Leaf Resistance from their hideouts and then destroy you all once and for all."
"We won't let that happen!" Kiba shouted his anger getting the best of him.
"Enough of this!" Guren said bored with words. "Rinji! You and the others attack now!" She ordered.
"I don't think so…" Rinji's voice replied and her eyes narrowed not looking at him.
"Attack now or I'll kill you myself!
"You're in no position to tell us what to do. Unless you want this kid to die."
Guren turned around and her eyes widened. "Yukimaru!" She shouted as the young boy was being held in the air by Rinji and Kiho had his wrist launcher pointed at his head. "Put him down!"
Rinji smirked as he and the other three backed away. "I don't think so. See Guren-chan." He said mockingly as he held the fearful boy up. "We're done following you and Orochimaru's orders."
"Traitor!" Zaku shouted still unable to move.
"No, just an opportunist." Rinji corrected him. "There's no point in following some psychopath who will kill everything in his path and leave nothing for the rest of us."
"We're done following that freak!" Kigiri shouted.
"Tell him either he makes all four of us Jonin or he can kiss any hope of controlling the Kyodaigame goodbye." Rinji said and looked up at the Leaf nins who seemed surprised at this development. "I gotta hand it to you Leaf Ninjas, you made our job a lot easily trapping those three for us. If you want I can give you the boy so you can try using him to capture it, you could probably wipe out Oto with it and restore Konoha. But he won't come cheap."
"We would never use him like that. The Will of Fire goes against everything you say." Kakashi said disgust in his eye.
"Suit yourself. I'm sure there are other countries just drooling at the thought of using this tool to control a demon." He said referring to the terrified boy.
"Damn you!" Guren shouted unable to move as anything she did would endanger Yukimaru.
However unknown to her, Gozu made his move. The giant man dived down underneath the ground surprising them. The ground rumbled and shook and he shot out of the ground into the air.
"Multiple Mudshot Technique!" He shouted and fired a large amount of mud from his mouth at the four catching them off guard and they leapt out of the way. He fired another one at Nurari who blocked it with his Viscous Water Mass. Kiho fired at him with his wrist launcher and Gozu turned to Mud and they where stopped by him and his body returned to normal.
He threw a punch at Rinji and his arm grew and extended and Rinji narrowly dodged it. He threw another but Rinji put Yukimaru in front of him forcing Gozu to stop and withdraw his attack to prevent the boy from being harmed.
"Idiotic fool! What do you hope to accomplish?" Rinji snapped at him and produced a kunai aiming it at Yukimaru's throat threatening to kill him if he took another step.
"Unlike you I have loyalty, loyalty that cannot be bought by words or playing on fears like you try to do."
Rinji snarled and ordered him to be killed. However Gozu held his own against the three and Rinji was starting to get worried he'd win.
"Let's see how well your loyalty rewards you after this." He said and suddenly multiple bats appeared. They surrounded the large man and Rinji grinned and ordered them to produce multiple ultrasonic waves. The waves affected his mind and he clutched at his head in pain and was unable to defend himself as he was hit on all sides by Kiho, Kigiri, and Nurari.
His body was covered with bruises and blood as he was overwhelmed by their attacks.
"I would've taken you with me." Rinji said as Yukimaru looked on horrified what they was doing. "But you had to be loyal, look where it's gotten you, you stupid golem! Kill him…"
Kiho cackled and took aim at him. "Looks like you're going boom!" He said and fired a rocket. To his surprise Gozu withstood it and got to his feet and staggered towards him. He fired again and again at him but to his surprise Gozu kept coming at him.
Gozu in his last ounces of strength grabbed it and smashed the wrist launcher and Kiho's hand causing him to scream in pain. He then threw him into Kigiri and Nurari before collapsing on the ground as a pool of blood appeared beneath him from his many wounds.
"Idiot, that's two lapdogs killed this day." He said in disgust but then grinned. "Oh I forgot to mention, I killed Naruto as well." He said surprising them all at that. "That wretched fox deserved death, his nose stuck in the air and licking Orochimaru's sandals. He had a fitting grave, buried beneath a pile of rubble like the piece of trash he-"
BOOM! A pair of trees exploded and shattered sending bark everywhere and kicking up clouds of dust which blocked everyone's vision. Shikamaru had to let go of the three in order to cover himself up.
"What was that you was saying about me?" A voice said and Rinji's eyes widened in horror at that.
"It can't be, I killed you!" He shouted fear and terror raising in his voice as the dust settled and cleared and revealed one very, VERY, pissed of Naruto Uzumaki.
"You really think I was going to die from such treacherous tactics?" Naruto snarled at him his eyes a blood red. "Oh have I got a bone to pick with you four." He said to them who had fear in their eyes at what they saw. "Unfortunately for you I have a nifty trick called Hiraishin, a memento from my late father that teleports me away. I managed to slip away before I was crushed. Now I'm here for payback." He said as the killing intent every ninja, Leaf or Sound could feel coming from him.
Rinji suddenly turned and ran with Yukimaru in his arms retreating. His comrades where surprised to see him run and attempted to as well but was stopped when a red dome appeared trapping them. They turned and saw only Naruto in there with them as he had trapped them in there on purpose with just him.
Guren started to give chase as well but stopped when she saw Gozu was still alive.
"Why did you do that?" She asked him and he turned to face her.
"I know how much you care for him."
"What?"
"Yukimaru you care for as if he's your own son. I saw the pain in your face and decided to repay what I owe you, you saved my life before so I tried to save him." He said remembering how she gave him water. "He needs you, he believes his home is with you. Go to home and find yourselves a home." He said and closed his eyes and went silent.
Guren looked at the deceased man and nodded and gave chase after Rinji.
Rinji tossed Yukimaru to the ground as they was at the Lake. He pulled out from his pants a pair of pills he had secretly swiped from before. He forced the boy's mouth open and inserted them into it.
"Eat them!" He ordered and smacked him when he tried to spit them out. "Swallow them! Summon the damn turtle!" He said as his calm and laid back composure was gone now.
"Rinji!" Guren shouted and he turned and saw her and she leapt into the air. "Crystal Release: Crystal Lance!" A large lance made of crystal appeared and she attempted to impale him. He leapt out of the way and she made needles and threw them at him as well.
"Trust me, I will make you scream before I kill you!" She said with a snarl as she prepared to do battle with him.
A fist slammed into a face breaking his nose. An elbow slammed into a ribcage shattering a pair of ribs and causing the victim to cough out blood through his gasmask. A head butt smashed the other's person's face and shattered the glasses he wore.
The Leaf ninja and Sound Shinobi looked on in shock and horror at what was happening and the brutality they was witnessing. TenTen of them all could remember how he fought her in the Exams and made her collapse in terror.
Naruto was massacring Kiho, Nurari, and Kigiri, the three trapped and no match for him as his eyes shone red with murder as he relentlessly slaughtered them. Their attacks and jutsu had no effect on him as he outright ignored their pitiful attempts to fight back.
"Deal with the other traitor, I'll handle this." He said to Zaku, Hinata, and Kimimaro and they went and left the area.
"You thought you could get away with trying to kill me?" Naruto said as his fist slammed into Nurari's stomach going through the protective suit he wore and making him throw up blood. The blows and impacts of his fists against them cracked bones and flesh as he showed no mercy to any of them.
"He's stronger than I feared." Kakashi noted watching on. "He's too dangerous to fight right now, let's take care of the Bijuu while we have the chance." He said to the others and they quickly left leaving the scene.
Naruto snapped Kiho's neck and tossed the dead man aside and he looked down with disgust in his eyes at the whimpering Nurari. "Hell deserves cowards and traitors like you." He said and a ball of energy formed in his right hand. "Rasengan!" He shouted and threw it at him and Nurari screamed in terror as it engulfed him and knocked him out of the dome and smashed against a tree which shattered and it fell to the ground dead.
Naruto felt something hit him in the back and he turned and saw Kigiri, his mask shattered revealing his face hitting him with Fire Jutsus. Naruto looked at him and ignored the shots and then made a cut on his hand.
"Kuchiyose No Jutsu…" He said and a snake with orange red color appeared and formed in his arm with his hand around the summons's throat
"Feel the burn…" He said and squeezed on the reptile's throat which let out a large burst of fire from its mouth. Kigiri screamed in terror as the flames engulfed him and ended his life.
Naruto watched him burn away no remorse over what he did to them. They had betrayed him and Otogakure and they deserved their fates.
(Remarkable) Kabuto thought to himself having seen it all. He had not expected him to so easily crush them the way he did. (Orochimaru, pray that he does not ever decide to turn on you. Your lapdog has very sharp teeth.)
Elsewhere…
"Your crystals are no match for me!" Rinji shouted as he used his bats to destroy Guren's crystal attacks. "I've studied you, you wretched whore! I know how to defeat your techniques!"
"Shut up bastard!" She replied and threw shuriken at him which he shattered with his bats sonic waves.
Yukimaru watched on and saw that Guren was losing to him as Rinji was stronger than he thought and he was nullifying her Crystals and shattering them.
(I gotta do something or else she may die!) He thought to himself. He then noticed the bottle of pills. He reached over and grabbed them and unscrewed the lid.
"Prepare to die!" Rinji said when suddenly each heard a roaring sound. Guren turned and looked over and saw Yukimaru his body covered by chakra collapse blood coming out of his nose.
"Yukimaru!" She shouted and suddenly emerging from the water, The Three Tailed Giant Turtle reappeared. She saw it and heard its roar which echoed all across the area.
Rinji screamed in terror as it raised a giant claw. The man tried to flee but was crushed by it as it stomped on the ground of the lake killing him instantly.
The beast was going wild thrasing about and roaring in fury wondering who summoned it. Guren saw that it was getting close to Yukimaru who was unconscious. Using all her chakra she focused her crystals on it and surrounded it and trapped it. The beast roared and tried to break free as it would not hold it for long.
She ran forward and picked him up holidng the unconscious boy close to her. She heard a shattering sound as it broke free and emerged partway onto the land. The demon roared and prepared to kill both of them.
"Raikiri!" A voice shouted and Kakashi slammed his attack into the Kyodaigame's wounded eye. The beast roared in agony and pain as the Copy Nin hit it with his best attack and crippled it.
"It's eye is its weakness! Attack it, drive it back into the water!" He shouted to the others and they performed their best attacks. He looked over and saw Guren retreating the boy in her arms.
The Leaf nins attacked its weak spot with their best Jutsus and attacks and drove it back into the Water as it slowly started to retreat and wildly shot off attacks which missed them unable to concentrate.
"Damn it! We gotta stop them!" Zaku said looking at the scene and was prepared to go.
"That's enough Zaku," A voice said and he, Kimimaro and Hinata turned and saw Naruto and Kabuto walk towards them. "The mission is over, it's too dangerous, we've lost enough as it is." Naruto said to them.
"Orochimaru-sama will not be pleased with this." Kimimaro said to him.
"I'll take full responsibility for this, I should've known Rinji was a traitor." Naruto said to them.
"W-Where's G-Guren and Yukimaru?" Hinata asked as they had disappeared.
"We'll just report them as dead, they have no markings or seals on them to locate and track them. I believe she's done serving us anyway." Kabuto said to them as he adjusted his glasses.
The group looked and saw the Kyodaigame retreating as the Leaf Nins drove it away with their attacks as the Tailed Beast headed away. A victory for the Resistance.
"Let's go home…" Naruto said and the remaining Sound Nins walked away.
A distance away, Guren finished the shrine she had made for Gozu, so she would remember him. She bowed her head in thanks for his sacrifice and looked over at the boy who was waking up. She walked over and Yukimaru hugged her and she returned it.
"You're looking for a home." A voice said and she turned and saw a blond haired woman standing there.
"Tsunade?" She said to her not understanding what she was doing all the way out here. How did she escape Oto?
"I don't have much time before I have to head back there but I'll tell you this. Orochimaru will only use and dispose of you if you think about going back there. Your home will be nothing but a empty husk."
Guren glared at her and her words.
"I'm working with the Leaf Resistance and Jiriaya in secret. Planning on overthrowing him once I've got enough strength in Sound as well. The choice is yours, you can wander the land or you can join them. The home you want will be a much happier one for both you and the boy with Konoha than it will under the snake bastard's rule." She said and turned and walked away.
Guren, Yukimaru on her lap watched her go and pondered her words.
A/N: That's it for this chapter. Review please.
