Chapter 11: Tsuchi no Kuni
Tsuchi no Kuni; Land of Earth. Han and Roshi reside in its hidden village, Iwagakure no Sato. Roshi is the Jinchuuriki of the Yonbi, Son Goku; while Han is Jinchuuriki of the Gobi, Kukuou.
Naruto faked a yawn, showing his boredom. Watching Tsukiyomi, Tobi, Ban and Yoru play in the mud wasn't very amusing after almost three days of the playing in it everday.
Frankly, he was jealous of the main part of the Akatsuki; they were taking official missions from the Amekage and Shinobi no Kami wasn't.
Quit complaining; it's your first few days. Let everything soak in. Kurama grumbled. But I can agree when you say it's extremely boring.
Naruto was about to retort, but was cut off when Itachi stepped into the clearing.
"You lot of moron's have your first mission," he stated without greeting.
"Well hello to you, too, sensei," Naruto grumbled sarcastically.
The Uchiha rolled his red eyes. "Go clean up, then head up to the Amekage Tower."
"O-kay!" Tobi piqued.
Tsukiyomi only nodded; Itachi turning away and walking off.
Rude... Naruto grumbled mentally. He sighed. Whatever.
A knock on the door interrupted Pain's paper and finace work. He mentally sighed in relief, and put the papers down. "Come in."
Naruto stepped in, Tsukiyomi, Ban and Yoru following. But Tobi wasn't seen.
"Where is Tobi?" Pain asked.
"Tobi is right here! Pain doesn't need to worry!" a voiced chirped.
The Amekage's finger twitched in surprise when Tobi was spotted standing right in front of the desk; no blur, no chakra, no nothing. He was just there.
Tobi giggled. "Tobi got'cha!"
"Since when was he here?" Tsukiyomi asked.
Naruto glanced at the Amekage and Tsukiyomi. "He walked in with us. Didn't you guys see him?"
"No," Pain deadpanned. "Moving on; your mission is to locate all bijuu and their Jinchuuriki. Each time you find them, come back here and report."
"'Kay!" Tobi squeaked. "Away we go~!" He turned around, hooking the two teens with his arms. "Bye~, Amekage-sama~!"
"So, we should try and go in order, from the Niibi to the Hachibi," Tsukiyomi stated.
The three Shinobi no Kami members were heading off to the Land of Earth. Knowing where the Ichibi was, there wasn't much point in going to the Land of Wind.
Naruto 'glanced' at him. "Really now? I didn't think of that." His voice was soaked in sarcasm.
"Oh shut it," the brunette grumbled.
Tobi squeezed in between the two teens. "Be good boy's; like Tobi!"
Naruto grunted in annoyance, Tsukiyomi mimicing him.
"Tobi will just teleport Tobi's friends to the Land of Earth!" Tobi stated. "But Tobi can't go that far..."
"Then we'll just walk half way there," Naruto grumbled. "And then we can tape your mouth shut."
"Be a good boy!" the brunette scolded.
"Whatever."
"Just teleport!" Tsukiyomi snapped.
Tobi giggled, giving the kabuki masked brunette a nod. He grabbed the two teens and disappeared in a flash of green.
Tsukiyomi stumbled, and glanced around. The three were in front of a mountain, rocks falling off the top over head.
Naruto was unfortunate enough to get hit in the forehead by a rock, making him curse.
"Shit! We forgot Ban and Yoru!" Tsukiyomi cried. "Tobi!"
"Tobi is very very sorry! Tobi will be right back!" And he disappeared in a flash.
The two stood there in silence for a few seconds before Tobi reappeared with Ban and Yoru.
The two wolves whined in relief, nuzzling Tsukiyomi.
"Morons..." Naruto grumbled. This is going to be a rough mission...
"Are we there yet...?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No..."
"Are we there yet?"
"No...!"
"Are we there yet?!"
"I said no!" Tsukiyomi shouted. In result to his raised voice, a decent sized rock bounced off his forehead.
Naruto and Tobi giggled at the fuming Uzumaki as they walked up the mountain wall via using chakra to stick to the side. Ban and Yoru were also climbing up the rocky wall, tailing Tsukiyomi.
"I like Tobi now," Naruto mused.
"Tobi is a good boy!"
The blonde smirked. "Very."
"Why am I always picked on?" Tsukiyomi grumbled.
"'Cause your hot headed," Naruto retorted.
"So are you."
"Not really."
"Tobi agree's with Naruto!"
"Thank you; see, wolfboy? Tobi agrees."
"Yes, yes, I know, snowboy."
"Shut up."
"No. I'm not gonna."
"Karma is gonna hit'cha," Naruto stated.
"No it's no-" But Tsukiyomi was cut off when another rock hit his forehead. He shouted in frustration. "God dammit!"
Naruto and Tobi burst out in laughter, Ban and Yoru barking in amusement.
Tsukiyomi growled in annoyance. This is the worst mission ever...
Minato smirked in amusement. "He's funny."
Kurama rolled his eyes. "Che, stupid fleshbags..."
The bijuu's only response was a snicker.
Naruto sucked in a deep breath. "Finally! We are over those damnded mountains! Now, off to Iwagakure no Sato."
"Tobi knows where Iwa is! Follow Tobi!" Tobi chirped.
Tsukiyomi sighed. "Sure, lead the way..."
In response, Tobi giggled and marched off, Ban, Yoru, Naruto and Tsukiyomi following.
"What's with all these damned mountains?" Naruto grumbled. "They're everywhere."
"Well, this is Iwagakure," Tsukiyomi stated. "You know...the village hidden by rocks."
"Why not mountains?"
"Beats me."
"Sh, be very very quiet...Iwa is up ahead," Tobi whispered. "Tobi will sneak in and check some area's; wait here for Tobi."
Naruto and Tsukiyomi only gave the brunette curt nods, watching as he sunk into the ground.
Tobi made his way through the rocks, and poked his head out from under a rock hood.
He spoted two gaurds that were sitting against another rock wall, relaxing while keep an eye out.
"Tobi shall use this basic and logical tactic in a basic and logical way!" Tobi whispered to no one.
He nodded in determination to himself. The brunette cleared his throat, and let out a high pitched, blood curling, feminim screech.
The gaurds shot up, frantically looking around. Three other shinobi appeared in blurs next to the two, and the now five Iwa-nin ran off in different directions to check out the 'scream'.
"Good job, Tobi!" Tobi quietly congradulated himself. He departed from the earth, giggling in amusement. "Tobi is a smart one, indeed!"
A moment later, there was a second and third presence. "That scream hurt." It was Tsukiyomi. He jumped down next to Tobi. "You realize that there is a gate right over there?" He pointed to the left, and there was indeed a gate. "Moron!"
Tobi giggled nervously. "Tobi is a good boy! Tobi tried at least."
"Tobi," Naruto stoically said.
The orange masked brunette glanced at Naruto innocently.
He nodded his approval with a smirk of amusement. "Good job; just use it for another time."
Tobi grinned. "Tobi will!"
"Hurry up; we need to get inside of the village before the shinobi come back," Tsukiyomi stated.
Naruto and Tobi nodded, and followed the brown haired Uzumaki over yet again, another mountain.
"That's very basic," Minato commented.
"That hurt my ears; I think I went a little bit deaf," Kurama growled.
"Agreed!" Naruto chirped.
"Oh please, you rely more on chakra than your ears."
"Do not!"
"Do too."
"Okay, okay, let's not fight," Minato warned.
"Shut it, fleshbag." The bijuu obviously was not in the mood, so the two blonde's quieted. "Good boys; now, roll over. Both of you."
Minato and Naruto glared. "We are not dogs!"
Shinobi no Kami's first mission XD
This is a bit humorous. I know. And about the naming-chapters-after-birds-thing is going to be put on hold for the next few chapters 'cuz the soaking wet towel of ideas is getting dry...
Regarding Tobi's 'ghost technique' (if you were wondering):
This is how he goes through/merges with things/people/objects/nature/etc.: his chakra is special; it allows him to gather up nature energy-NATURE ENERGY AND NOT NATURAL ENERGY-in a split second. Thus, he can walk through all kinds of objects (ex: humans, trees, boulders, and so on).
The next chapter will focus on Konoha and Naruto, Ban, Yoru and Tsukiyomi 'missing'.
Peace! :3
