CH 25: MEANWHILE
Konoha
Of course Naruto couldn't risk being discovered before he got enough experience with his powers for them to get nearly instinctual like breathing, so he summoned a super bunshin to replace himself in Konoha before going to missions disguised as the Skull to avoid detection. He figured detection meant check-mate for him after seeing the demise of the Kurama clan's heir and hope; constant watch and subjugation if he even took a suspicious breath. This wouldn't let him reach 'his' dream; world peace, also world peace demands certain power high he was quite far right now. He also had to send some for his training with the self-proclaimed "ghost of the Uchiha clan" and bear the ever-cumbersome resistance seals he drew on himself. All that equaled to a growing but exhausted Naruto with constantly stretched chakra networks and a grumbling old fox that was near constantly healing his overstained body.
Still, with this kind of life his power and skill to use that power grew highly; his chakra had long since dwarfed the old hokage and the ghost – his yin chakra anyway. From his birth his yin chakra was stretched to its limits to balance the monstrous yang half of the nine tails. This automatically converted his chakra nature to yin, a nature that excelled on genjutsu and some quite ominous powers like leeching on another person's chakra and mind. His yang was while not as impressive as its counterpart, was quite high for other ninja. He couldn't reach to the old man's level but won't be long, certainly higher than any ANBU that operated under him.
There is another reason that he left a super bunshin in Konoha; it could create other kage bunshin that upkeep the little spy network he had in Konoha.
Which got a whiff on the recent event; cloud-leaf negotiations.
Apparently, the new Raikage that rose to the leader seat after the third great ninja war got quite impressed with the fourth's speed and decided to ally with Konoha out of respect to his 'rival'. It is smelling fishy if you ask Naruto and he wouldn't let this go without close watch. He didn't and it was the right choice; the 'negotiator' was watching the Hyuuga compound closely, too closely.
And we found ourselves on Naruto's current dilemma.
'How am I going to stop that man if he decides to do something he wasn't supposed to do?' he racked his brain for an answer to that question. But he didn't have much time because the man ditched his guards and started his move. Naruto decided to watch from shadows for now and think something when the time come.
LINE
The man kidnapped the heiress.
The man kidnapped the Hyuuga heiress.
The man kidnapped the all-seeing clan's heiress and they were blind to it.
Naruto would laugh it up if it weren't so serious. He rubbed his forehead in an 'I can't believe this' expression instead. The man was making a beeline to the borders and he sent a clone to play 'defenseless, innocent boy that got lost' on the kidnapper's way and sneaked behind him to knock him out in right moment… maybe.
LINE
He did it! He managed to abduct the Hyuuga heiress that will bring the powers of the Hyuuga clan to their village and more importantly even more respect to him. It wasn't that he was unsure of himself about the success of the mission but he allowed himself to celebrate it before end of the mission. The Raikage will make him a council member - NO his right hand! Maybe even the new Raikage after his reign. He could imagine it…
"I, the fourth leader of our precious and glorious village hidden in clouds, hereby step down from my seat and nominate our best shinobi, the best candidate, and the most deserving of the Raikage seat, currently head shinobi of the cloud…"
His dream got rudely interrupted by a blonde boy.
"Mister please help me. I thing I got lost" the boy pleaded. He looked at the boy in confusion for a moment before took a better look at his appearance.
Blond hair, blue eyes, tanned skin…
His eyes widened.
This boy looked so much like the forth hokage.
This must be his son.
He grinned and thanked his luck for this random fortune.
"Of course, come with me little boy." The walked near the boy and raised his hand for the boy to hold and prepared himself to send a sharp jolt of lightning to knock him out. Just there was inches between their hands the boy looked behind him and he felt a sharp pain on his head and darkness captured his eyesight.
LINE
Naruto dropped the stone he used to knock the man out and turned to his clone and raised his hand. It looked at him in confusion. He went to the sack to check on the little girl's condition. A sharp gasp stopped him from opening the sack. He disguised to Skull and did a nod that translated to 'do your job'. The clone gave a nod of understanding before get back into the role. Skull opened the sack and got eye to eye with the heiress. He allowed himself to be mesmerized from the soft lavender orbs before set himself right with a mental slap to himself.
"Are you alright?" he asked to the girl, who gave him a shy nod.
"let's get you back to your clan. Can you walk?" he asked. She tried to stand but a wince stopped her on tracks and she sat back down, looking down. Skull sighed and piggybacked her. She yelped before blushed from embarrassment.
"let's go Naruto." The single sentence froze the heiress and he looked at the blond at the corner of her eye and buried her face on the skull's shoulder. Naruto made a snort of amusement in his head and took the Kumo ninja's hand with his one hand and hic clone's with the other.
