Tazuna looked at the Kumo ninja in shock "what do you mean he is alive that masked guy killed him!" he said in shock.
Ko shook his head "he used senbon needles, my clan makes up most of Kumo's hunter-nin and few use those as a weapon to kill it's used more to stun an enemy…or in this case friend."
Yugito spoke up "and another thing is that the ninja took the body with him, it's standard procedure to immediately get rid of the body once the target is dead."
N nodded at her words "yea that guy was a big ol fake, man it's seems we ain't gonna get a break" he sighed as he leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed.
"I knew this mission wasn't going to be dull." Darui said.
Tazuna looked around nervously "so that means that he can appear at anytime?" he asked worriedly.
Darui shook his head "Zabuza is probably suffering from large chakra exhaustion from when he fought me and N. Not to mention he was hit point blank by my Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration and his leg was hit by N's Lightning Release: Shock Current we have a week tops, until then we will train while protecting you from any other assassins." Darui told him.
Tazuna nodded "Ok the bridge should be finished pretty fast my guess by next week."
Darui continued on "until then we shall train and when you go to the bridge we will send clones or one of us so that you are still protected while we can still get some training done. Now let's head of to bed, we got a big week ahead of us, but before we go I wanna ask you something N. How do you know chakra flow? That's something that Jounin learn, it's uncommon to see a Genin use it." He asked curiously.
"Bee taught it to me. I saw him use it once with his swords and I asked him what it was and he showed me the instructions on how to do it and I winged it from there." N lied quickly not wanting Darui to find out how he really learned it.
Darui bought the lie and just gave a nod. "Alright we should have a guard watch. N you can start after 4 hours wake me up." N nodded and headed outside while the rest of his team went to bed.
He jumped up on the roof and lied down on the flat roof looking at the stars while using his sensor ability to look for any would-be assassins. As he looked at the stars he thought of his older brothers and their mission to Orochimaru's base. He wasn't worried about them since A is an S-rank ninja and could fight Orochimaru head on if he is even there and B was an elite jounin and they had STORM as backup. 'I wonder how it went?' N thought as he gazed at the stars.
2 days ago, near Orochimaru's base
A glanced around at his team before he looked down on a map of the base that Hawk had drawn from using his hawk summons. It was nighttime and the only light was from the full moon shining down on the ninja making their armor and swords glint. "Alright everyone knows the plan?" he asked the STORM-nin and his brother who all nodded their heads.
"Yea big bro. Now lets get this show on the road. Oh yea!" Bee rapped.
A sighed at his brother's antics "B! This is not the time for your rap!" He said angrily not raising his voice incase their were ninja hidden close by.
A looked at his comrades "Ok Sparrow and Hawk will go on the west side of the base and assassinate any guards while Mole and Badger will use their earth jutsu to create a hole in the east side of the base. Raccoon, Bear, Lynx, and Horse will create a distraction on the north side. I will go with you guys once the people come out. Weasel and B will go through the hole, accompanied by Mole and Badger and get rid of any of the guards left in the base. B and Weasel will then split off and go to the lowest level and find any of the children that the snake bastard experimented on, find any survivors and get them out of there. If any of you spot Orochimaru tell me immediately via radio since I'm the only one who can fight him toe to toe." A told them as he motioned for B to follow him to talk to him in private.
"Why is the demon brat here again." Hawk murmured to Sparrow not intent on having his leader hear him. A didn't but someone else did.
Hawk felt a blade on the back of his neck. He warily turned around to see Weasel behind him holding his tantō now pointed at his heart.
"Do not insult Bee-sama Hawk" Weasel said emotionlessly though you could hear a hint of anger in his voice.
"Why would you give that demon any amount of respect Weasel!" Hawk said angrily.
"For many reasons, One he is the son of our Raikage, two he is a very skilled shinobi and I am impressed with his strength, and three he saved your life, your friends lives, and your family's lives 13 years ago when the Hachibi was released and was sealed inside him (1). So I believe those are very good reasons for us to give Bee-sama respect." Weasel told him with anger still evident in his tone.
"Him and his little brother are demons and the girl is a demon whore! They are-" he was about to continue but stopped when he felt a monstrous amount of KI directed at him. Turning around with a pang of fear he saw A behind him with fury burning in his eyes with his fists clenching together.
"I suggest you listen to Weasel Hawk because if you ever insult my little brothers or Yugito in front of me, I. WILL. END. YOU!" A roared not caring if anyone could hear him, lightning started to spark around him showing he was about to use his Lightning Armor to kill the one who insulted his little brothers and Yugito whom he saw as a little sister.
Thankfully for Hawk, rescue came in for him before he met a very, very, VERY painful death from A in the form of Bee.
"Woah woah chill big bro I know what he said wasn't right, but we can't just kill the guy right before the big fight." Bee said trying to calm his older brother down.
"B he just called you, N, and Yugito demons and I will NEVER have people call that if its within my power, as your big brother I have to protect my little brothers and Yugito is like a little sister to me." A retorted angrily, still glaring at the quivering Hawk.
"I know bro just forget it." Bee said calmly.
A took several deep breaths before glancing around the room where all the STORM ninja had taken several steps back in fear of the pissed off A not wanting to get involved.
"Does anyone else want to say something about my little brothers or Yugito?" A demanded. The STORM ninja quickly shook their heads. A snorted "good." He walked off toward the base before stopping and calling over his shoulder "MOVE OUT!" to which the STORM ninja quickly followed going to their designated areas.
With Bee:
Bee headed off toward his position with Weasel following behind him while Mole and Badger were ahead of them already heading toward the base.
"Thanks Weasel, for sticking up to us." Bee murmured to the masked STORM ninja.
"I was just doing what everyone else should be doing in the village; respecting you, N-sama, and Yugito-sama as the heroes you are Bee-sama." Weasel said.
"Heh you know you're the only one to call us that, it's kinda weird to be called with that much respect from someone. It's relieving to know that there are people who don't see us as monsters." Bee replied.
"You do deserve the respect Bee-sama you saved your peoples lives when the Hachibi was released all those years ago, the fact that you have managed to keep the beast sealed away for over 13 years while the previous hosts only kept the Hachibi contained for a few years tops shows your will power and strength, something that I greatly respect." Weasel said.
"Bee-sama, huh I like the ring to that." Bee said smiling.
The rest of the trip was silent both decided to not speak since they were in enemy territory.
The stopped on a mountain ridge as they gazed down on the base.
The base was dirt brown and only a story high though they knew there were more levels down below. Bee and Weasel saw Mole and Badger at the edge of the forest near the east wall. 'Alright time to rock' Bee thought as he waited for the signal.
With Sparrow and Hawk:
The two bird masked ninja head toward the west side of the base. "Wow I have never seen A-sama so pissed before I seriously thought he was going to kill you Hawk, if Bee hadn't intervened you would have been killed, very painfully too." Sparrow commented to his fellow STORM-ninja. Hawk decided to not answer and just focused on the path before him.
The two STORM waited for the signal when they saw a bolt of lightning flash across the sky. 'now! The two thought.
West side guards:
Two guards were patrolling the west side of the base though neither were straining themselves to look for any threats after all they didn't think Kumo would ever find them, were they in for a surprise. "Man this is so boring, it's not like Kumo is ever going to find us." One of the guards complained.
"Yea Kumo is so dumb if they can't find this base, I doubt they will ever find this place don't you think Yugo." The other guard replied with a smirk. The smirk disappeared when he didn't receive an answer, he turned around in time to see Yugo on the ground bleeding from a slash in his throat, he didn't have time to yell when he felt a knife slice his throat and he died and fell to the ground with a small 'thud'.
"Hmph you shouldn't underestimate Kumo" Sparrow said to the corpse, and though you couldn't see it because of his mask a smirk was on his face as he looked at the bodies of the men who had dared invade his country.
Sparrow looked over to Hawk and nodded and they both headed toward the base intent on killing the people who invaded their home and kidnapped their people.
North side:
Bear, Raccoon, Lynx and Horse saw the flash of lightning summoned by their leader and charged forward.
Horse and Lynx quickly went through a set of hand signs.
"Fire Style: Fire Storm" Horse said as he unleashed a large wall of burning flames at the doors of the base.
"Wind Style: Whirling Winds" Lynx said as he held his palms out and a large amount of wind chakra was released from his hands.
The two jutsu hit each other as they reached the door. It turned into a monstrous ball of white inferno that wrecked through the entire wall and through the base.
The four ninja hurried through the destroyed walls ignoring the burned corpses of those caught in the inferno.
All of a sudden five enemy ninja appeared out of nowhere and attacked the STORM ninjas. The STORM nin took out their swords and defended against the attackers.
While the enemy had the advantage of surprise the STROM they were badly out matched. The STORM were the strongest of Kumo and these were barely high genin and chunin ninja, it was a piece of cake.
A raced into the hole after his team, he was surrounded in his Lightning Armor. He quickly barreled straight through a group of enemy shinobi before any could react much less get away. Though A wasn't using his full power and speed in his armor he was still fast enough to only be a blur.
An enemy ninja tried to form a jutsu to attack the STORM nin, key word tried. A appeared out of nowhere with his arm at his throat "Lariat!" A yelled as he crushed the man's throat with his electrically charged arm. A zoomed around the room attacking more ninja until one by one they all fell.
A glanced around the destroyed room 'hmm Orochimaru hasn't appeared, is he not here? Whatever I got a mission to do we gotta show that snake bastard you don't mess with Kumogakure!'
With Bee, Weasel, Mole, and Badger:
Bee saw the flash of lightning summoned by his brother, "go!" he said. Badger and Mole flashed through the same hand seals and placed their hands on the wall of the base, "Earth Style: Earthen Decay" The dirt wall started to dissolve until there was only a large hole and dirt covering the floor.
The four ninja jumped into the hole where they found themselves in a dark hallway where the only light was the moon from outside and the torches on the walls.
Mole and Badger went to the left of the hallway to take care of the rest of the ninja in that section while Bee and Weasel took the right. Weasel had his tanto out and Bee had two of his seven swords since he couldn't use all seven in such an enclosed place.
The two ninja met few resistance and those they did met were easily dealt with. They soon reached the lowest floor and found a tunnel that turned into two, Bee looked at Weasel "I'll take left you take right" Weasel nodded his head and headed off into the right tunnel.
Bee ran through the tunnel, all of a sudden a ninja appeared in front of him. The ninja went through handseals and yelled out "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" Bee kept on running, the ball of fire hit him and the ninja smirked, however that smirk disappeared when he saw Bee run out of the fire unharmed. "How!" The ninja yelled before he noticed that Bee's skin was greyish and looked like hide. He didn't have time to ponder on what it was before Bee struck him with his sword making him fall to the ground, dead. Bee deactivated his Ox Hide and continued running until he reached a pair of metal doors, he opened the doors and stopped shocked at what he saw.
Lab equipment was everywhere along with blood, so much blood splattered on the walls and floor. A pair of scientists looking through a file looked up and saw with surprise at the unexpected ninja.
"Hey this place is off limits! This is for the people to experiment on the test subjects!" One of them said before he noticed the hiate on the teen's forehead. He paled 'Kumo has found us!' He thought frantically.
Bee ground his teeth in anger, these men had performed terrible experiments on people and children, they made him sick.
In a flash he was between the two scientists a glint of his swords through the dark was the only warning as the two scientists bodies split in half.
Bee glanced around at the equipment around him and summoned 10 shadow clones ordering them to seal anything on the experiments and the notes. Bee looked around to find any survivors but found none. The clones gave him all the info they could find before he left.
Bee ran out of the room and down the hall. A blur appeared by him as he ran through the hallway, he didn't need to look to see it was Weasel. "Any survivors?" Bee asked him.
Weasel shook his head "they were all dead, some weren't even all the way together, I did get some info though on the things Orochimaru's done." Weasel said. Bee clenched his teeth in anger when he heard what happened to the people who were here 'Orochimaru you bastard' Bee thought angrily.
Bee and Weasel head up toward the upper levels, the place was silent. "Looks like A-sama and his team took out all the enemies." Weasel stated, to which Bee nodded.
The two ninja soon arrived outside of the base where they headed toward the group of STORM who were huddled by A.
"There you two are, I was getting worried!" A said as he spotted his brother and Weasel.
"Sorry A-sama, Bee-sama and I had to fight down to the labs and had to get any info we could find." Weasel said.
A glanced at his brother "were there any survivors?" he asked Bee.
Bee shook his head "no bro, they were all dead." He said solemnly.
A clenched his fists before looking around at his team. None of them had died and only Horse had any injuries, which was just a deep cut on his arm that was being healed by Mole. "Lets head back to Kumo we're done here." He said.
As the team of STORM ninja left, A lit the fuse that was connected to exploding tags that they had placed inside the base. A watched as the base blew up forever hiding what monstrous things had happened here. A heard his brother approach him, "We'll get that snake bro he ain't gonna get away with this." Bee said to which A nodded and the two brothers followed their team back home.
Back in Kumo: Raikage's Office
The Raikage listened as A gave them their report. His eyes gleamed with anger when he heard of what happened to the people who were experimented on. "I see, I want to have two STORM teams deployed to patrol that area with one of our fastest messenger birds to see if Orochimaru comes to the base." He said.
The Raikage dismissed the STORM ninja as the report ended. B stepped forward "dad we can't let this fly, we gotta make that snake and hurt him until he wants to cry." B told his father.
A for once didn't try to hit his brother for his rap and even agreed with him for this one and probably only time.
The Raikage looked at his second son before nodding his head in agreement "I agree B we need to find Orochimaru and show him why you don't mess with Kumogakure. I'll send out squads of THUNDER(2) to track down the bastard." He said. B and A nodded.
"Now there is another reason why I had you stay." The old kage said to his eldest and second eldest son. "I think it's time we tell N of his origins."
B and A looked at their dad in surprise "When?" A asked his father.
"When he gets back from his mission to Wave." The old kage told him.
Silence reigned in the room, A and the Raikage both knew that they were afraid of telling N, they didn't want to see any betrayal in his eyes or that he would stop seeing them as family. They both knew that no matter what happened they would always see N as their son/brother, they were family and he was their son and little brother. Bee wasn't worried this was lil nine there was no way that they would stop being family. Even if they weren't related by blood they were brothers and that would never change for him and he knew it would be the same for N.
"Don't worry lil nine won't stop seeing us as family, we are a family! We can't be the awesome Yotsuki clan without him!" B said with his usual smile.
A and the Raikage nodded with smiles of their own, no matter what happened the four would always be family.
He was 5 when the Hachibi was sealed in him
Hunter nin or trackers
Hope you liked the chapter. Bee and A went to the base and kicked ass though Orochimaru wasn't there. This chapter also showed how protective A was to Bee, N, and Yugito. In a couple of chapters N is going to find out his origins, will he change his views on his family? I also wanted to ask the readers this Do you want Zabuza and Haku to live or die? I won't update until I get more reviews not trying to sound needy but they do help inspire me to write more. Until next time.
