Orochimaru's Hideout Part 2
June 19th (evening) to June 20th (morning)
Last Time...
Neji had a secret... He was in love with Kiba and wanted him badly. As Kiba was taking a shower Neji jerked looking at Kiba take a shower with his byakugan.
We continued our walk toward the hideout location after eating our fish and putting out the fire. The trek was a few hours long an uneventful except for the fact that Naruto had developed a fear of lightning. We trekked through the thick brush and dense woods until we came upon a circular open field. In the center was a building with steps that showed it went underground. We sat and watched for an hour to watch for patterns in guard movement, if there were any. Luckily there weren't any guards but a few of Orochimaru's goons did come in and out on an irregular basis. When it reached 8:17 PM we decided to head in. We each dawned our long range radios to alert the team of our findings. We stepped into the caverns and saw four separate tunnels. Naruto took the far left, Kakashi the right, Sakura's was next to Kakashi's and I took the one next to Naruto's.
"Okay, can everyone hear me?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah sensei." Naruto replied.
"Yes Kakashi." Sakura and I said.
"Okay then. Proceed ahead and summon shadow clones if there are any diverging paths. Alert the rest of us to any trouble. If you encounter anything you can't handle place the tags I gave you earlier on the floor and form the tiger sign. It will immediately summon us to your aid but only use this as a last resort."
"Yes sir." We all said as we sped through the tunnels.
Naruto jumped ahead in silence before he came upon a 3 way intersection. Two guards talked without noticing the intruder. A single candle chandelier hanged above their heads dimly lighting the room. Naruto activated the radio as they talked.
"Listen Tetsume, if lord orochimaru was here now with the uchiha there wouldn't be a need for guards. I still can't believe that they have us here to protect the vile while we could be out there taking over the leaf."
"Yes Kanktetsu, but remember if he trusts this base in the hands of the guards he is sure to have replacement viles."
"I know...."
"Good work Naruto." Kakashi said. "I got that recorded, now send in a poison bomb."
Naruto lit and rolled in a purple ball. (Think of the smoke bombs that they sell for the 4th of July) The gas exploded out in a quiet puff. The guards took a quick whiff of the gas and instantly fell unconscious. Naruto crept over and tied them to a nearby post before summoning 2 shadow clones. He sent them out into the two tunnels. He waited a few minutes before receiving word from the two. The shadow clone that went through the left tunnel found prison holds, empty, and a computer. He plugged in a drive and copied the information before implanting the bomb charges and heading back to the real Naruto. The second clone discovered the guard lounge and also set the charges. He also found a computer in a separate room and copied the information onto a drive before heading back to the real Naruto. Naruto dispeled the clones and stored the drives before heading back to the entrance to wait. He ran back as fast as he could while setting the charges along the path. He held the detonator remote outside the complex as he his in the bushes and kept guard. Sakura found quarters, some with sleeping guards inside. She also found some computer rooms and a research lab.
"Guys, I think I found something!" She called over the radio. "It looks like a torn up research lab. It's empty but for one computer connected to a strange green glowing substance in a vile."
"Sakura, get the vile. I heard the guards talking about it." I said over the radio I said after setting the charges along the prison holds I found. I also found some old research papers in a file room and a few experimentation records, which I collected. I left the building and met up with Naruto outside. We placed our findings in a cube I had made for this mission. The glowing yellow cube could hold 10,000 square feet of space. Kakashi had only met up with a dead end but none-the-less he set up charges. The only trouble was a guard who had spotted him. He quickly snapped his neck and proceeded on. Sakura grabbed the vile and stored it into her bag. They both left the building when they attracted the attention to a few guards. An alarm was sounded and Naruto and I jumped out of the brush. We saw a group of maybe 25 guards running after Sakura and Kakashi who managed to dodge a barrage of shuriken and kunai. The passed the stairs as we all detonated our charges. The base rang out in a huge blast as Fire engulfed the guards. Sakura and Kakashi narrowly escaped the flames and jumped into the trees. Naruto and I followed suit jumping after them towards Konoha. We out ran a few guards who gave up the chase. We stopped as we arrived at the field. Kakashi and Sakura were out of breath and on the floor while Naruto was laying against a tree. I had my hands on my knees and we were all breathing heavily. (Sorry the mission ended early but I have this only as a filler\introduction chapter before I get into the relationship between Kiba and Naruto and Neji)
Kiba arrived at his house with nobody home. Little did he expect Hana and Tsume were out secretly destroying Naruto's apartment. They ripped his sheets and broke holes in his wall. His bathroom was destroyed beyond repair and his personal possessions were not totally destroyed but still banged up. In the end Tsume and Hana felt bad about destroying their son's mate's house but knew it was for the best. Kiba didn't smell his mom or sister so he decided to prepare one of the recipe cards that Hana leaves for them. After 30 minutes of cooking Kiba had finished Chicken Teriaki Over Rice. A nice blend of chicken made with Teriaki sauce and served with seasoned sweet rice. He had also prepared a lemon-limeade mixture. Akamaru woke up upon his masters completion of the food and begged for a feeding. Kiba poured some dog chow for his animal familiar and sat down to eat himself. Hana and Tsume came through the house back door after using their chakra to dispel the scent of Naruto's house, a technique Kiba hadn't learned yet.
"Hey guys. I already made some dinner." Kiba stated. He had already finished his small portion. He didn't feel hungry, inside he missed his Naruto-Kun dearly.
"Thanks Kiba." Hana said as she walked into the Kitchen and fixed herself a plate.
"Listen Kiba, we were walking by Naruto's house when we heard some glass break. We ran up to his house and it was completely destroyed. I'm sorry to tell you this but when Naruto comes back he can stay with us until they repair the damage." Tsume said sitting at the table. She talked to kiba with a blank face and hid her lie perfectly.
"God what am I gonna tell Naruto?" Kiba sighed. He expected this to happen one way or another, seeing the village hated him. "Well I guess this did have a bright side, he can move in with us." Kiba said with a quick smile. Without a word he walked upstairs as Tsume and Hana looked upon each other with a worried face. This was going either way now. Kurumaru just laid by his master's side, loving every bit of Kiba's sadness.
"I can't stand it when he's so depressed. I swear tomorrow we are going to Tsunade and making sure Kiba has his missions with Naruto. Plus it will give us more time to ourselves." Hana said finishing her food.
"Okay but let's just watch how Kiba reacts to Naruto coming back. I want to see how deep this relationship is. He'll be back by six thirty tomorrow so no villagers will see anything they do in public and something tells me Kakashi and Sakura know what happened between them." Tsume said thinking deeply about the situation.
"You mean spying on them?" Hana walked into the Kitchen.
"Exactly."
Kiba's alarm went off at 5:30 AM. He sprung up with joy in his eyes. He then felt a wave of heat blast him and felt the most uncomfortable feeling he has ever felt in his life. Akamaru also woke up feeling the effects of the heat after the first week. "Oh my god!" Kiba sighed, "I know boy, but just seeing Naruto might take my mind off of the heat." He told his dog. He jumped out of bed revealing his boxers and picked up Akamaru. "C'mon maybe a quick shower will help." He stepped into the shower after removing his boxers and stood under the cold water. He scrubbed himself and Akamaru before turning off the water and drying himself off. He dried Akamaru feeling some relief and quickly dressed himself in the best clothes he had. He put on a skin tight black ninja shirt with ninja pants and headed out the door. He left a note for Tsume and Hana but they were already at the gate waiting for Kiba.
"Wait up Naruto, we still have ten minutes until we arrive at the village." Kakashi said holding Naruto back by is collar.
"C'mon sensei! I got to get back!" Naruto said struggling to pull ahead.
"Naruto just wait." Sakura sighed. "I know how much you want to see Kiba." She smirked
"You guys can give me the cubes now. I'll hand them to Tsunade along with the report when we arrive." I said. Sakura, Naruto, and Kakashi all pulled out their cubes and I locked each of them together. Kakashi wrote a report and handed it to me as well. We saw the village gates in sight, the guards were off at breakfast and a seal that only leaf jounin could open with their chakra. We approached the gate, and Kakashi-sensei forced some of his Chakra into the seal. With a click the door opened. Naruto walked forward and his expression immediately dropped when Kiba wasn't there. "Don't worry Naruto, maybe he's late." I winked as in a puff of smoke I went off to meet with Tsunade.
Kiba stood on top of the gate looking down as Naruto entered the village. He saw how sad Naruto was for not seeing him and jumped down behind him, careful not to make a sound.
"Hey Naruto." Kiba said as he flipped Naruto around and gave him a bear hug.
"Kiba!" Naruto said, tears beginning to water in his eyes. "I..... can't.... breathe...." Naruto said as Kiba loosened his grip.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for you.." Kiba said kissing Naruto passionately. Sakura almost cried and Kakashi was already gone back to his house for some Kakashi time.
In the trees Hana and Tsume watched as Kiba made his move. They smelled no pheromones from either Naruto or Kiba. Hana was in tears and Tsume merely stood there with a tiny smile on her face.
"Look mom! Kiba is so romantic!" Hana said.
"Well he's lucky I'll say that, but who was that boy that Naruto was with. I couldn't smell chakra but something else with him."
"C'mon mom! He's Naruto's friend, I've seen him with Naruto a bunch of times and it seams Kiba is sure warming up to him. I worry that maybe he'll get jealous?" She smirked.
"Hope not. You know how protective Inuzuka males are of their mates.... Let's let them be, get home Hana-san..." Tsume said heading back home.
"I've god good and bad news though Naruto." Kiba said showing a blank face.
"What happened?" Naruto said worried. He nuzzled Kiba's neck to cheer him up.
"Your apartment was destroyed." Kiba said.
"By who?" Naruto asked with a lighter expression.
"I don't know. My mom said she saw a band of Ninja in your house and when she went inside it was completely destroyed."
"That's ok. I hope they didn't touch my ramen or I will hunt them down to the ends of the...."
"Naruto the good news?" Kiba interrupted Naruto's devious rambling on how to kill those ramen stealing ninja.
"Oh, yeah, go ahead." Naruto blushed.
"You get to stay with us until they repair your apartment, which I doubt they'll do unless Tsunade issues an order but until they find the ninja who did this it might take....."
"Oh my god Kiba!" Naruto said pulling Kiba into a tight hug.
"Thank my mom, she asked me if I would like it and duh I said yeah." Kiba said hugging Naruto back. "She's even getting your stuff now as we speak, she was watching us here today as well." Kiba said. Sakura had already left for her home and activity in the village was slowly kicking up.
"C'mon before we get caught, let's race to your house!" Naruto said. With one last peck on the lips Kiba and Naruto raced off onto Kiba's estate. Unbeknownst to them Tsunade had seen the whole ordeal from her office.
"You finally found the right one, huh Naruto? So that message Tsume sent me was true. I guess I have no choice but follow her requests. Congrats Naruto." Tsunade smiled as she watched Naruto and Kiba race off.
