Chapter 11: Project Konoha Annihilation Part 1
It's been a year since Naruto and the gang has split up and now were returning to Rice Patty Country to discuss their earnings over the course of the year.
Naruto and Ryuuzetsu were at the border of the country and continued to walk to the inn they were at a year ago. "Just one more mile till we reach our destination." Naruto said calmly. He was sporting a black shirt with an Anbu vest over it with baggy black pants and black Shinobi sandals.
"Yeah, I wonder who changed the most over a short period of time," said Ryuuzetsu with a smile. She was sporting a combat Kimono with a gray Anbu vest and a skirt that has slit sides with fishnet around her thighs and was wearing a blue shinobi sandals.
"Yeah, definitely not Shisui," Naruto said with a grin.
Somewhere on the other side of the country said person sneezed and thought 'A girl must be thinking of me,' as he continued tree hopping.
Naruto suddenly felt sick and shrugged it off and kept on walking.
Itachi stopped when he saw Shisui stopping and asked, "What now Shisui, at this rate we will be late to the meeting place," he said with annoyance. He was wearing a cloak that covered most of his body with sandals that looked like it was hooked to his pants.
"I think a girl is talking about me," he said, grinning as he got back to tree hopping. He was wearing the turtleneck every Uchiha wore except there was no red and white fan on the crest of his back and he was wearing shorts with black shinobi sandals.
"I doubt it," Itachi responded in a low voice.
"You said something?" Shisui asked and got all over Itachi's space.
"Huh? Oh no, just said that lots of girls are going head over heels for you," he said sarcastically and proceeded to tree hopping faster when Shisui tried to hit him.
30 minutes later…
The two group made it back to the INN on time and now were greeting each other.
Naruto took the time to study Shisui and made the look that says 'Haven't changed a bit,' and went off to book a room for 3 since Ryuuzetsu never slept alone.
"You haven't changed a bit," Naruto said as he walked over to Shisui and gave him a fist bump, which now was his hobby(learned it from a certain someone in the cloud village even though they had tried to kill him first). Shisui studied him as well.
"You haven't changed at all, too," Shisui replied while smirking, "So you can't be talking," he added.
Naruto shrugged and said, "Let's go to the room that I got us."
When Naruto and the crew left, the receptionist pressed a button under her desk and said "Orochimaru-sama, the blonde you were talking about and three others are now in the inn." She waited for a moment before the radio buzzed and said 'kukuku... Don't let them get out of there, I will be there shortly. Oh, and put seals around the inn so they won't sense anything from the inside,' before the radio was shut off.
Back with Naruto and the gang...
Naruto was gathering the money they earned last year, counted it and said, "We have 200,000 yen (2,000 US dollars), we need more if we are going to stop both the Akatsuki and Konoha."
Shisui thought for a moment, "Why don't we let the Akatsuki destroy Konoha and when they destroy Konoha they will be at a disadvantage, since they'll be weakened." When he said that, they all sat there in silence thinking about what he just said.
Itachi spoke up first, "We can't take those chances, even if the Akatsuki are weakened, they won't possibly send all their forces at once to just destroy the village since they are already known for destroying a town a few months back with only two members attacking. So we can't take chances. Plus Konoha won't fall down easily, they became more strict in training recently."
"Well, there's your answer Shisui, but good job at using your brain for once," Naruto said and Shisui nodded proudly, then yelled 'HEY! I do use my brain!' and ran after Naruto around the room.
Suddenly, the inn was blown to pieces from the outside and ninjas with a music note in their forehead protectors came rushing in to see if any of them were still alive or go in and retrieve their bodies.
It had been a few hours before the search came to an end. The head of the squad leading the mission went back outside to report it to Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-sama, we didn't find any bodies. There is a possibility they are out there fleeing right now," the squad leader reported. Orochimaru listened and then grinned since it was going to be fun for him.
"Then why didn't you go search in the forest or the surrounding areas right after you search the inn?" Orochimaru asked and the squad leader was about to respond when his head slid off his body. "You 3 go gather 4 more teams and search for them in the surrounding area." All the ninjas there could only nod so they won't get the same fate as their squad leader.
Naruto and the gang barely made it out. At the last second Naruto did something none of them could do, except Ryuuzetsu, since she had been traveling with him in the last year or so. He opened a portal and managed to push everyone in there. The next thing they knew, they were in a forest.
"Naruto, how did you do that?" Shisui and Itachi asked at the same time.
Naruto sighed and said, "Maybe I should tell you from the very beginning, from when I started to try to make this move and to when I perfected it." Seeing them nod he began his story "It all began when..."
FLASHBACK
Naruto and Ryuuzetsu were settling down at Waterfall Country. They have been traveling for about 2 months now since the group split up to make money.
"Naru-kun, I heard this village is beautiful and full of mysteries, you wanna have a go at looking around the place and exploring?" asked Ryuuzetsu as they walked through the gates of the village.
"Sure, but I heard this place's foods are to die for and they are preparing for a contest too on eating, I bet I can beat anyone here!" He said confidently.
Four hours later, Naruto's stomach was already bloated, his face was soaked in the bowl of Ramen. "Contestant Naruto has lost the match at round 4," the announcer announced.
Ryuuzetsu sighed and went to get him off the table. Then he began to find an inn.
The next morning Naruto woke up in only his boxers and a sleeping Ryuuzetsu on his chest. He immediately blushed. She was there on his chest wearing only an oversized T-shirt and panties.
He laid there for a while, unable to go back to sleep with all the blood rushing to his cheeks. So he waited for her to wake up not wanting her to be mad since the last time he tried to wake her up, he nearly loses his hand.
He pecked her nose and saw her scrunching up her nose, beginning to open her eyes slowly with a cute yawn. She got up and punched him in the gut and got off the bed going into the bathroom, giggling a bit when she heard Naruto whining.
Naruto got up and followed her to the bathroom. They brushed their teeth and washed their face.
"Where do you want to go for breakfast?" Naruto asked her as he put on his sandals and waited by the door.
"I don't know, wanna go for some dango?" she asked.
"Isn't it a bit too early for dango? How about ramen?" he said, his mouth was drooling a bit. She looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Let's just go downstairs for breakfast," she said.
A couple hours later, Naruto and Ryuuzetsu were walking into the forest to do some training, when they saw a guy wearing an orange mask, talking to a tall guy with a slicked-back silver hair, holding a scythe.
They watched them interact and saw a ninja from Waterfall Country stopped by them. The silver-haired man slashed at him. At first, Naruto thought he was just being cautious, but then, Naruto saw him drawing some type of seal on the ground, he licked his scyth where the blood was and then stabbed himself in the heart.
Naruto thought he was crazy after watching that act but then something unexpected happened. The ninja that was cut from before collapsed and blood was coming out of where his heart should be.
Naruto watched in fascination when he saw the guy from earlier with the orange mask gave him a cloak with red clouds on it and a straw hat. Then he disappeared in a vortex. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the coat.
"Looks like we've stumbled upon an Akatsuki recruitment session," he said as he left.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"...And that's how I came up with the technique. I immediately went under Fuinjutsu studying but can't do the vortex thing that he can do, but I can create a portal of some type, but it only got a 4-miles radius," Naruto finished his story on how he created the portal.
"Y'know, we only wanted the detail on how you became interested in seals and not the part about you and Ryuuzetsu, right?" Shisui asked. Ryuuzetsu blushed and bonked Naruto on the head.
Naruto calmed his blush down and massaged his head, saying, "We need to find a new meeting space.."
Naruto was cut off when Itachi said, "A chunin exam will take place two months from now and will be held in Konoha. I got a bad feeling that something will happen during the exams," Naruto looked at him and then thought for a while.
"I think, I know what they were trying to do. This year's exam was supposed to take place in Suna, that's what I heard while I was in Waterfall. I think they are trying to take bloodlines from other villages and shinobi's from other villages. Most likely. So no one would suspect since it's the chunin exams, anything can happen," Naruto said while the others agreed. They already knew about the Leaf abducting people.
"I have also heard that the Leaf are trying to get an alliance with Kumo and Kiri, those are the other two strongest villages, and probably try to experiment on their shinobi, too. And that's how they become the strongest village. They will be abducting other villages' shinobi… if they ever succeed in making this superhuman powers, they will be the strongest village amongst the elemental nations. They will probably kill all the test subjects after they have accomplished everything to wipe all the evidence," Itachi added, Shisui was in deep thought and then his face changed as if he realized something..
"Come to think of it, during our time when we were still in Konoha, I felt something strange on every shinobi and civilians alike, but those that have a connection on the Hokage or Orochimaru. And I think, I started feeling that strange thing only in the village, but none of the Uchiha's has that feeling to it." Shisui added. Naruto, Ryuuzetsu, and Itachi thought about it for a while and then a light bulb of realization popped on their head.
"It must be some type of Genjutsu and that the Uchiha's aren't effected by. Maybe that's why they wanted the Uchiha gone," the three of them said at once. Shisui nodded and patted himself on the back proudly.
"Let's look for an inn before we discuss anymore of these. Out of Rice Patty's of course," said Ryuuzetsu. "We're too exposed here and the Sound village is probably still after us, so it won't be wise to stay in the open."
