We find Naruto and Jiraiya sitting in a room in an inn Two weeks after their meeting with Itachi. They are getting ready to go to the Iwa and Oto meeting and stop any information from changeing hands. Jiraiya reaches into his pack and throws Naruto a bandana and says, "Use that to cover your hair, one look at that mop and they'll know whose son you are."
Naruto ties the bandana around his head covering his hair then asks Jiraiya, "Hey pervy sage don't you think it's weird that the Iwa ninja would agree to meet on Oto territory?" Eluding to the fact that the meeting would bee taking palce in the land of sound.
Jiraiya scratches his chin then says, "Normally I would say yes but in this case if the meeting wasnt held in Oto territory we might not have had time to get there and I think Orochimaru knows that. I think this whole meeting was setup by Orochimaru just to force us into conflict with Iwa ninja, no doubt he knew I would find out about this meeting and would never let infomation like this get out. He's hoping to start another war between Konoha and Iwa."
"Okay, but what does he have to gain if we go to war with Iwa?" Naruto asks.
"He could wait untill Iwa weakens us then attak him self, he could join the war on Iwas side, or maybe he's just looking for an easy way to get more test subjects for his experiments. It would be easier to kidnap people in the middle of a battle and if a few random ninja go missing in the middle of a war people tend to ask less questions." Jiraiya responds.
Naruto Makes a face of disgust and says, "That Orochimaru really is a sick bastard isn't he?"
Jiraiya looks as if he's remembering somthing then says, "You have no idea kid, you have no idea. We should get going, acording to Itachi they should be meeting in a clearing just outside of town and we need to get there first." They pack up their stuff and take their packs instead of leaving it in the room knowing they will probably have to make a quick escape.
They follow the directions Itachi gave them and end up at a large clearing. Jiraiya checks the wind then says "Lets hide in those trees over there, we need to stay up wind so they have a less chance of detecting us before we want them to." Jiraiya and Naruto jump into a tree on the north side of the clearing. Jiraiya looks up at the sun then says, "We still have about a hour before they're suppose to arrive so now we wait. Now once they get here the main objective is to stop any information from changeing hands, it will probably be in some sort of seald envelope, we need to make sure that the Iwa ninja don't get it. I'll distract the Iwa and Oto ninja while you go for the envelpoe."
Naruto nods his head confirming he understood. They wait silently as the sun hangs high in the sky overhead when they hear a rustle in the woods to the west. They look on as two Iwa ninja step into the clearing. The first is a girl who looks be about seventeen with short black hair and pink, pupil-less eyes. She is wearing the standerd Iwa uniform and flack jacket with fishnet stockings and a skirt over top. The other is a large man with dark eyes and greyish hair that ends in a sort of ponytail, as well as a large bulbous nose and beard.
Naruto looks over at Jirayia and sees him looking through a small black book. "Do you know who they are?" whispers Naruto.
Jiraiya looks up from the book and says, "The big guys name is Kitsuchi, he's a Iwa jonin and the son of the current tsuchikage and the girls name is Kurotsuchi, she's his daughter and the grandaughter of the tsuchikage. They look to be the only two, it's weird there isn't any more."
As they get closer Naruto over hears them talking, "Looks like we're the first ones here, I don't like this something dosen't feel right." Kitsuchi says.
"It dosen't matter, this is our chance to get back at Konoha for what they did to Iwa during the third great ninja war." says Kurtotsuchi
"Killing the forth hokages son wont solve any thing, it will just start another war and lord tsuchikage won't pull Iwa into war just for that."
They reach the center of the clearing and Kurotsuchi says, "Well gramps is getting pretty old, someone younger is gonna have to take his place soon and that person is gonna be me."
Kitsuchi looks at his daughter and chuckles, "You just made jonin and your already aiming for tsuchikage. I think your grandfather still has a few years left in him, so you shouldnt get in such a hurry."
After waiting for a few minutes a man steps into the clearing on the opposite side. Naruto and Jiraiya immediately recognize the man as Kabuto Yakushi. Kabuto walks into the center of the clearing and stands. He reaches into his pouch and pulls out a large brown envelope and says, "I believe this is the information you want, this is all the info we have including picture and name."
Jiraiya taps Naruto on the shoulder to get his attention and whispers, "Okay it's time, why don't you get there attention."
Naruto reaches into his kunai pouch and pulls out a kunai with a explosive tag attached. He throws it into the space between Kabuto and the Iwa ninja. It explodes causing Kabuto,Kitsuchi,and kurotsuchi to scatter in different directions and creates a large cloud of dust. Naruto jumps out of his hiding place and goes strait towards Kabuto. Kabuto jumps out of the dust cloud and looks around, when Naruto bursts out and throws a punch at Kabutos head. Kabuto catches Narutos hand just before it hits him and looks at him in the eye and says, "Naruto, I wonderd when you would show your self, can I assume that Jiraiya is here as well."
Naruto smirks and says, "If i was you i'd be more worried about me." Naruto poofs away revealing he was just a clone. Kabuto turns around just in time to see two Narutos holding a large rasengan and slam it into his stomach. The rasengan sends Kabuto flying into a tree, as soon as he hits the tree he poofs leaving a small log behind. Naruto sees the log and says, "Damn a substitution, where did he go?"
"Naruto get over here." Naurto hears Jiraiya yell. Now that the dust cloud has settled Naruto can see Jiraiya and the two Iwa ninja along with Kabuto. Naruto races over to stand next to Jiraiya. "Naruto, he gave the envelope to the the female, you need to get it."
Kitsuchi and Kabuto rush towards Jiraiya as Kurotsuchi takes off towards the woods. "Naruto go after her and don't let her get away." Jiraiya yells. Naruto starts to give chase as he follows her into the trees. He starts to throw shuriken and kunai in an attemptto slow her down but she just dodges and keeps going. Knowing he has to do something Naruto gathers chakra, weaves some hand signs,and yells "Wind Style: Great Break Through" Naruto brings his hand to his mouth and blows creating a large blast of wind to large for Kurotsuchi to dodge. The wind blast hits her in the back, knocking her to the forest floor. Naruto jumps down landing a few feet away.
Kurotsuchi stands up holding a peice of paper and the now open envelope. She looks at Naruto and says, "Your too late, I got his name and I know what he looks like, the son of your forth hokage, Naruto Uaumaki. So i'll tell you what, i'll let you go so you can tell him his days are numberd."
Naruto looks her in the eye and reaches up to grab the bandana and says, "I got a better idea, why don't you tell him your self." he then pulls off the bandana releasing his bright blond hair.
Kurotsuchi looks at the picture then back to Naruto and says, "Well look at that, I guess today is my lucky day. Did you come here to defend the honor of your father, the so called great forth hokage? Because today is the day that I will get revenge for what he did to my village."
"I couldn't care less about his so called honor, he died the night I was born so I never even knew him, hell I didn't even know he was my father until just a few months he died protecting me and our village and thats all I need to know to know he was a true hero." Naruto replys.
"A hero? Do heros kill hundreds of people and tear families apart? You call him a hero but in my village he is a monster. By killing you i'll purge the black spot in iwagakures history that is the third great ninja war." Kurotsuchi yells.
Naruto looks at her sadly, "I don't know much about the the third ninja war but one thing I so know is that revenge is never the answer. If you kill me it wil only cause those who care about me to come after you in revenge and the cycle will never end. If you continue on this path you will just hurt your self and those around you."
"Sounds like typical konoha nonsense to me, so you can save it and prepare to die." Kurotsuchi yells. She then starts to so hand signs but as soon as she starts Naruto makes a single hand sign and she freezes unable to move. She tries to move but the only thing she can move is her head. "What did you do, why cant I move?", she yells.
Naruto smirks, "Just a simple paralysis seal, I used that wind jutsu earlier to attach it to your back and once activated it stops its target from moving until removed. I actually just learned it, this is the first time I actually got to use it. What do you think?"
Kurotsuchi sneers at Naruto, "So what now? Kill me and take the first step to becoming your father."
Naruto chuckles, "I may look like my father but thats as far as it goes, I am not my father. As far as killing you goes, I hate killing. I have nothing against you, I don't even know you. Hey how about this, I heard you say your gonna be the next tsuchikage, well i'm gonna be the next hokage so I will only fight you if we both are kage." Naruto walks over to her and chops her in the back of the neck knocking her unconscious. Naruto picks her up and begins to carry her back to were Jiraiya was fighting the others.
As Naruto re-enters the clearing Kitsuchi sees him holding the limp body of his daughter. "You, what have you done to my daughter?, Kitsuchi yells. He then begins to rush towards Naruto. After geting a good look at Naruto he realizes the boy looks alot like the forth hokage, it hits him then that this must be the person who they came to information on.
"Hey hold on! Shes fine just unconscious don't worry. I didn't have much of a choice she was trying to kill me." Naruto pulls the seal tag off her back then sets her on the ground, he then goes to stand beside Jiraiya. "Sorry pervy sage she had alredy read the what was in the envelope by the time I caught her. She knows who I am, my bad."
Jiraiya pats Naruto on the shoulder and says "It's okay, they were bound to find out eventually. By the way what was that you pulled off her back?"
Naruto pulls put a seal tag and shows it to Jiraiya, "Paralysis seal, worked like a charm."
Jiraiya takes the tag,looks it over and says, "It's perfect, this is very good. This is a fairly complicated seal, I wasnt aware you had masterd it yet, good job."
"Ahem...", Naruto and Jiraiya look over at Kitsuchi, "if you two are done i'm gonna take my daughter and leave, we got what we came for." Kitsuchi picks up Kurotsuchi and disappears into the woods.
"Well I think thats my queue to leave." says Kabuto drawing the attention of Naruto and Jiraiya who had almost forgotten he was there. Kabuto disappears into the ground leaving Naruto and Jiraiya alone.
"Well, now that this is over how about we go get something to eat. Hey I saw the way you were holding that girl did maybe perhaps capture her heart." says Jiraiya wiggling his eyebrows.
"No, i'm pretty sure she wants to kill me." Naruto says smiling.
