Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. Anyway, this story is about to get interesting.
Disclaimer: I do not own naruto, and anyone who thinks I do is a fool.
Just outside the village border, the young ninja, Raiden, was quietly waiting for Wani to return. He waited in the shadows of the trees that surrounded the village. As time passed, he began to grow impatient. "Where are you? You were only going to scout out the village defense"
"Hey Raiden"
Raiden turned his head in the direction of the voice, and saw Wani, Naruto, and Tenten standing on top of the branches above him.
"It's about time, that you got back." Raiden said irritated, as he jumped up to the same branch as Wani. As he settled on the branch, his eyes quickly saw Naruto and Tenten, but before he could ask what they were doing here, Wani cut him off and ushered all of them to head farther away from the village, and in a flash they all vanished.
All four of them, as silent and fast as they could, ran farther in the forest and away from Yajuugakure. They continued running until, Wani told them to stop at a small clearing that was difficult to see by three trees that surrounded it.
"All right, this looks like a good spot for some recon." Wani said as the four of them took a break at the clearing.
"Just tell us, why are ninja being kidnapped and why don't their villages do anything about it?" Tenten said anxious for the answer.
"Look its simple. If one village accused another of stealing a shinobi from them, it will cause some dispute. One it will cause one of the villages to lose trust in the other. And two it would be a problem when the accusing village begins to search for information or shows informations to try to reclaim the stolen ninja." Wani began to explain.
As Tenten nodded, Naruto failed to grasp at what Wani was saying.
"Basicly, the villages won't trust each other, and they might end up fighting if the one village tries to get the ninja to rejoin them." Raiden reexplained.
"Oh, I get it." Naruto said happily at the new explanation.
'Isn't that what I said?' Wani thought as he grew annoyed at Naruto.
"Anyway, since most of the shinobi are of a low class, like genin or a beginning chunin, none of their village see any reason to reclaim them." Wani continued to explain.
"So they just leave them?" Tenten sadly said.
"Yeah, none of them wish to start a war over something so low." Wani told her.
"What do you mean low?" Naruto yelled outraged. His yell quickly startled his companions, and caused Wani to remind him to be quiet.
"Just because a ninja may not be strong now, doesn't mean they won't be." Naruto said upset.
"I know. I hope Lady Tsunade didn't do that." Tenten said as she began to worry about the thought of her being abandon.
"She won't. Grandma Tsunade isn't like that." Naruto reassured her.
"Anyway, let's get back at track. This might be too much to ask, but I need you two to help me with a mission." Wani told Naruto and Tenten, who stared at him for a moment.
Back, inside Yajuugakure, a man was sitting at a table that had many open scrolls lying on top. The man's face was concealed by a dark grey cloak, and he grumbled as he stared at the open scrolls, each holding a drawing of a different animal. he slowly began to circle different body parts of the animals and each time he did, he nodded his head.
"Lord Kimera!" Raion said at the other side of a door that was behind the table.
"Come in." the man told the person. Just then the door opened and the lion like man, Raion, walked in and stood at the base of the door.
"What news do you bring me?" Kimera asked Raion.
"My deepest apologies Lord Kimera. The two from males from the Phoenix clan have escaped again." Raion reported.
"So my pet crocodile and thunder bird have run away again, but this time they left behind my little cat." Kimera said.
"Yes, this time Tora seperated the three." Raion told him.
"Good, Wani and Raiden are nothing but pets, but Neko is a one of my prized companions.
Still Wani is territorial, he'll be back for his sister. I want both Tora and you to be on guard." Kimera ordered Raion, who nodded in agreement.
As Raion began to leave, he was stopped by Kimera.
"Also what news do you have about my newly found fox. I've heard he and his little panda friend are doing nicely, and that his abilities might be up to prized companion status as well?" Kimera asked.
"They're both doing alright. According to Ookami's reports his powers are truly outstanding." Raion assured him.
"Good to hear. That is all Raion." Kimera said.
Raion then left, closing the door and leaving Kimera alone.
"With a female of the Pheonix clan and my newly found fox by my side, I will truly be the greatest beast in this world." Kimera said happily as he shifted through the scrolls until he found one with a picture of the nine-tailed fox that had a red circle around it.
Back at the clearing, Wani just asked Naruto and Tenten to help him with a mission.
"You want us to help you break into Yajuugakure?" Tenten said startled at the question.
"Yeah, don't you want to escape?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, but that will happen when me and all of my siblings are free. My sister, Neko, is still captive." Wani told them.
"Look, me and Naruto have to return to Konoha. We have friends there and..." Tenten begun to explain but Naruto quickly cut in.
"Alright, I'm in"
"What? Naruto are you out of your mind?" Tenten asked startled at his answer.
"A ninja's village is his home, the thought that some creep is claiming them for his own is sick. I want to bring this creep Kimera down." Naruto said as the image of Sasuke and Orochumaru appeared in his head.
"Naruto." Tenten said under her breath. "alright, I'm in too." She told Wani.
"Good, the plan for now will be simple. Me and Naruto will infiltrate Yajuugakure and try to cause a disturbance, and you and Raiden will rush to Konoha and try to bring backup." Wani told them.
"Wait, why do we have to split up? It's too dangerous for you two to invade Yajuugamike by yourself." Tenten told Wani.
"We're not invading, just infiltrating and causing a riot, to weaken the village defense." Wani told her.
"No, you'll cause the village main ninja population to regroup in the village, strengthing it." Tenten said.
"True, but there will be less ninja guarding the border, making an attempt to invade Yajuugakure easier for Konoha"
"But you and Naruto will be in harm ways"
"So you're worried about your boyfriend"
"He's not my boyfriend"
"So you're worried about me"
"Look's its a stupid plan alright"
"Admit it, you like him"
"How long will this take?" Naruto said as he and Raiden watched Wani and Tenten argue.
"Don't know. I clocked him and Neko fighting at three hours once." Raiden told him. Both him and Naruto then laughed, but they soon stopped as Tenten finally agreed with the plan.
With the fighting over, the two newly formed teams quickly went their seperate ways.
"Hehe, so they split up. Good. this will be more fun for me. I'll first take care of the girl and brat, then settle things with the other two." Koumori said as he stepped out out of the shadows of the tree leaves.
