Sasuke was sitting in a tree relaxing after a hard days work of catching up to his new peers. Medical jutsu maybe useful but it was a pain in the ass it was mostly chackra control, but at least he didn't have to start his kekki-genki memorization until next week.
"What nice eyes you have." Sasuke heard from a roof behind his tree. Turning to look he saw four strange looking people, in weird clothes he did not recognize. But what he did recognize was the headband the weird guy with four arms had on.
"Oto! Why are you in my village? Tell me before I kill all four of you." Sasuke demanded.
"How cute the fucker thinks he can play with the big boys."
"Tayuya what have I told you about your foul language?" The skinny one with two arms and some thing wierd on his back.
"Fuck you Sakon, you little bitch."
Sasuke looked on trying to calculate his chances for winning. First off there were four of them and just him. Usually no problem but his eyes weren't doing good lately and both Naruto and Itachi told him not to use his ms but what else could he ... thats it all he would have to do is even the odds.
Sasuke jumped down from his tree and charged up his chakra hopefully this would work. Sasuke was now glad that he had spent hours training his control for he spewed out two phoenix flower jutsu one after the other in to the air. The first in the regular circle pattern and the other in mostly a line. In the sky hung a music note like on the Oto headbands. If you squinted your head to the side a bit. And were blind. Fuck.
"The pipsqueak made a signal lets just grab him and run." The fat teenager yelled, drawing more attention to himself.
"Great fucking job ass-hat. If the signal didn't tell people we were hear your loud ass did."
At one the four teens jumped Sasuke. Sasuke tried to fight them off but it was pretty much one sided due to all the training he did to day coupled with using the last of his chakra to signal help.
After beating the crap out of Sasuke Tayuya Grabbed his listless body and the four jumped away. A few blocks away Tayuya was punched in the sternum making her lose grip on Sasuke. "Fuck."
Itachi caught the falling Sasuke and looked Tayuya in the eyes. "Tsukyumi."
Her three partners seeing this booked ass back to Oto to report to Orochimaru.
Tayuya woke up in a room with no windows and just her chair bolted to the floor. With the candle light flickering from that angle reflecting off the wall she cried out. "Orochimaru-Sama please I didn't mean to fail. I'll get him next time. I promise." As far as she knew no-one heard her pleas. After what could of been minutes or hours the door opened to let in Orochimaru. "It is good to see you Tayuya"
"Orochimaru-Sama!"
"Yes it is I, can you not tell by the feel of my chakra?"
"Lord Orochimaru I'm sorry I'll get Sasuke for you next time I swear it."
"I do not require Uchiha Sasuke. You see a few years ago a pretender ambushed me in my throne room while you were on an important mission for me. In the confusion I slipped away. He probably doesn't know I'm still alive but he might. I have a very important mission for you. This mission can only be completed by someone as loyal as you." Orochimaru watched Tayuya for a few seconds as if trying to decide he could really trust her. "Your three teammates have proven to be untrustworthy. I know that the other me has told them of what happened and that they are no longer loyal to me like you are. Do not trust them with this for they will lie to you to undermine your mission."
"What is my mission my lord?"
"I have taken over Konoha from the shadows. Only the Hokage and his pets really know. Your mission is to find all those truly loyal to me. Tell them to sneak to Konaha. They are to tell the guards they are there to water the roots. They will be knocked out and brought to me, to determine if they are a spy for the fake or if they are really loyal to me, like you are. Tell anyone that asks that you escaped with only minor injuries. I'm sorry my dear but for this mission I must break your arm. Do you except?"
"Thank you Orochimaru-Sama. I do.
Orochimaru walked out of the door. "Release her in one hour."
"Do you think your plan will work Orochimaru?" Jiraiya asked his friend.
"With any luck our ranks will swell in the coming years. The more we have convert to us the less we have to kill."
-knock, knock- "Naruto-sama? I was told to inform you we had a counsel meeting in ten minutes." said an ANBU with a pidgen mask.
-ugh- "Fine I'll be there shortly." Naruto answered the messenger without looking up.
Naruto walked in the the meeting hall surprised. He had heard there was a huge counsel that was mostly civilians, not only did he see none but their were only three seats besides his own not taken. Naruto figured the one with the Konoha leaf was Jiraiya's and the Senju seat was Tsunade's. The last seat he knew was Iruka's because of the CC carved on the back matching his GC and Shikaku's JC. Just as Naruto sat down the door flew open.
"Sorry I'm late. I had to wait for the mission reports." Iruka said as he looked to Jiraiya's seat to find it empty.
It was almost fifteen minutes after Iruka came in before Jiraiya and Tsunade walked in together.
"S-rank debriefing. Need to know only." Jiraiya said in his no-nonsense tone. As if to explain their tardiness.
"Anyway, earlier tonight we were breached by Otogakure. They shortly kidnapped Uchiha Sasuke before being stopped by Itachi. Itachi was only able to capture one of the said shinobi, three others escaped. Itachi any information you can would help us." Jiraiya handed the floor to Itachi.
"The kunachi we caught was a red head with weird chakra. The others were a bigger guy with a red trihawk, A skinny kid with something sticking out of his back, and a dark tan youth with six arms. That is all I know."
Jiraiya spoke up again at this point. "Any information anyone else has on these four?"
As most were looking at each other or trying to recall ever meeting them Naruto spoke up. "The girl fights using sound based genjutsu done with a flute. The big guy uses earth element ninjutsu. The kid with a head sticking out of his back -" every one looked at him weirdly "-don't give me that look. It seriously is a head. Anyway he shares his body with his brother, so be careful they can separate or even jump into other bodies to attack from within. The last member has six arms and two legs and summons, you guessed it spiders. The spider summoner can also make weapons out of hardened spit, and spit out spider webs. Due to the Janken taijutsu style, the Hyuuga are the ideal fighters for us to fight him with. If possible I want the two red heads brought back to me, if they are related to me we can try to bring them to our side. Kill the others if you get the chance but if you miss or can't finish the job get the hell out of there. Each of the four are high Chunnin level by themselves, and they all have level two curse seals." Naruto sat back down.
Seeing no one else giving information Jiraiya looked across the room.
"Shikaku how are the Jonnin coming?"
"The primary forces are pulling the slack for the retirees but the older ninja are slowly getting back into shape."
"Good make sure they keep up. To off set if an unfit Jonnin goes on a mission they are too have minimum three Chunnin that are in good condition."
"Iruka? The Chunnin?"
"Most have at least a good starting grasp on medical jutsu. The bingo book studies on the other hand are lacking, but to be fair we just instituted the new protocols this week. The retired Chunnin are falling on the wayside quickly as most of the Chunnin are in their youth and are closer to their prime."
"Finish the basics of medical jutsu, after they have the basics down let them know C-rank missions only unless they pass the testing, C-rank missions are to be done in groups of five. Naruto, what do you have for me?"
"Well Ero-kage" Every one cringed thinking Naruto was going to get hit. "I have went through the list several times and as far as I can tell all Gennin now know which element their chakra leans towards. The training on it is still slow going, even with me telling them how to do what. Most of the Gennin are sorely lacking even basic skills."
"Teach them all an E-rank field survival jutsu of their element. See if that speeds up their progress. Gennin will only go on C-rank missions with their Jonnin-sensei, or three other Gennin and a Chunnin."
Jiraiya turned to Tsunade "Your grandmother Mito designed our security seal. Find a way to modify it."
"Tenzo. Triple our patrols. We can not afford for them to get back in and take our ninja or attack from within."
Looking around the room Jiraya asked if there was any other business. With no-one willing to answer everyone got ready to leave when they had to look back with shock when they heard. "Hokage-Sensei, I wish to take teams 7, 8, 9 and 10 on a two week training trip to hone their skills?" But the most shocked were Jiraiya, Tsunade and Hiruzen.
"Why them?"
"Out of all our junior forces I believe these eleven show the most potential."
The next morning the Konoha 12 and their sensei were at the gate with the Hokage, Tsunade and their family.
Jiraiya looked at the assembled Gennin (and Sasuke). "While on this training trip you will listen to Commander Uzumaki. I expect you to be back in our village in fourteen days or less." With that Jiraiya and Tsunade turned and walked away.
Being the spokes person Kakashi asked what all of the adults left were curious about. "So where do you plan on training them?"
"Wave."
Asuma's cigarette fell from his mouth. "Whats wrong Asuma?" Kurunai asked.
Before Asuma could answer Naruto beat him to it. "Wave is were I picked up the Hokage. But this time I promiss to grab the kids and run like hell if we come across someone as strong as Zabuza."
Asuma looked at Naruto for a few seconds before nodding his head.
"I thought that was only a rumor." Tenten said shocked.
"No. I fought him one on one." Naruto said proudly, before...
"As I remember it you would be dead right now if not for Hokage-sama. Your entire nose was hanging off by millimeters of skin and you were bleeding from every hole in your head."
Naruto looked abashed at this. "Well ok, but to be fair I just got out of the academy a few weeks before and he was an S-rank missing-nin."
"IT IS MOST YOUTHFUL TO GO BACK AND TRAIN AT YOUR FIRST PLACE OF DEFEAT AS A NINJA"
"But why wave?" Karunai asked.
"Free lodging?" Naruto dodged.
The sensei left. Now knowing most of what they wanted the parents turned to leave as well before Inochi turned his head. "Anything happens to my princess..." with that he walked off behind the other parents.
"Were off, lets go."
With no civilian to slow them down and two months of training since last time Naruto and team 10 were here they made the trip in an hour and a half. Naruto and his group stopped in front of a small house before Naruto walked in without knocking. "Hey you old drunk. Guess who's back!" he shouted.
"Naruto-kun." / "Naruto-niichan!" / "Brat?"
"Hey do you mind if my team uses some of your land for lodging?"
"Any thing for you brat. On one condition."
"What?"
"You have to let me show my super bridge off to your team."
"The great Uzumaki Naruto Bridge." Naruto breathed out shocked. His charges not any better.
"After all you did for this village, it was literately the least we could do."
"Literately, huh? Got any land available?"
"Just where Gato used to live but after you guys left" Tazuna nodded at team 10 "the villagers burned it to the ground. Nothing will ever grow there again."
"Who do I talk to?" Naruto asked.
After Tazuna rushed off to see what he could do for Naruto, he turned to his charges (a few were still on the bridge trying to undo the genjutsu on the name) he called out. "Who knows how to walk up trees?"
Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Sasuke, and Neji put thier hands up.
"Water walk?" Sasuke was the only one to lower his hand.
"Ok, we're only getting the basics down today. You can master it in your free time or when we get back home. Neji get Sasuke started on water walking. Ino you teach Sakura tree walking than move on to water walking. Shikamaru you get Kiba. Hinata, Tenten. Choji, Shino. Lee your with me.
After sending his solders off to train (but still in sight) Naruto turned to Lee.
"I know you can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu. That being said you can still mold chakra, otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the Hachimon. The principle is the same you focus chakra inside your body, only in this case we do it on the inside of our skin on our feet." Naruto looked at an unsure Lee. "Than again you might be to old and unyouthful to be able to do it." A fire lit in Lee's eyes. 'Perfect.' Naruto thought.
