Betrayal Chapter Twenty-Eight: Trouble in the Sandbox
(Unknown Location) (Two Years Later)
Two figures were walking through the forest, it wasn't the forest in Fire Country but some other forest area. Both of the figures were wearing matching black cloaks with red clouds decorating it, the shorter of the figures was Uchiha Itachi, prodigy of the Uchiha and one of the best users of the Sharingan, second only to Uchiha Madara.
The taller of the figures was Hoshigaki Kisame, member of Kiri's Seven Swordsmen, and wielder of Samehada (Sharkskin). These two men were partners in the organization, Akatsuki, and hanging from Samehada was one of their targets, assigned to Kisame.
It was the Jinchuuriki of the Yonbi, I think his name was Roshi, and he was a Jounin from Iwa. You could tell from the damaged landscape behind them that Kisame and Roshi had one hell of a fight.
Part of Kisame's cloak was burned from the man's lava Ninjutsu, but compared to the damage done to the man, Kisame was A-okay.
Itachi turned to his partner, "The site is just a couple miles away, make sure he doesn't wake up." he said plainly as he turned back to the road.
The giant fish just grinned a wide grin, "Don't worry Itachi, from the beating I gave him, he's never going to wake up." he said grinning so much that his gills on the side of his neck open wider then they were supposed to.
Itachi released no emotion when he spoke, "You better hope that he isn't dead." he said making Kisame scoff.
"Please Itachi give me some credit, I know how to hold back my strength to get the job done." he said readjusting his sword on his shoulder. "I sure did want to kill him though, the man did not know when to stay down." he said rubbing his shoulder to ease some of the burning pain, from when the red haired man used his demon at full power and his punch connected with Kisame's right shoulder, shattering the bone on impact, if it wasn't for Samehada, then it would not have healed as fast as it did.
This made Itachi show emotion, "You hold back, I never realized that you knew what restraint meant." the dark haired young adult said scoffing at his partner.
Kisame smirked at that, "Itachi you and me both know that if I went all out my enemies wouldn't stand a chance. Hell I could even take you on if I go all out." he said smirking at the short Uchiha.
Itachi rolled his eyes, "Really Kisame, the whole organization knows I could kick your ass, any day of the week." he said as the two began to argue. Itachi held up his hand stopping Kisame from speaking, "You can sense them cant you." he said simply as they each could feel various shinobi behind them.
Pretty soon about fifty ANBU and Jounins, dropped down from the trees, and you could tell they were from Iwa by their headbands, and their Jounin vest.
The Uchiha sighed as he looked around, "You had to be assigned the Yonbi, I bet Sasori and Deidara aren't having any problems with the Ichibi." he said plainly looking at Kisame who continued smirking.
"Deidara? You know that traitorous bastard, he's nothing but a monster and if you know him your also a monster." One of the Jounin said.
"Let go a Roshi-sempai, this instant and I promise you, you death will be quick and painless." one of the ANBU said seeing their target hanging from Kisame's Samehada.
Kisame turned around and started walking ahead of the crowd, "As much as I would love to massacre these fools I have a job to do so I'm sure you can handle these fools right Itachi?" the blue fish said as he continued walking.
The Uchiha stood there as the Iwa nins raged on about how the fish just left the area with their target and were about to follow when nearly half of them felt the burning sensation of Amaterasu's black flames. It happened so fast none of them could even react till Itachi willed the flames away.
The leader of the whole force just fearfully stared at the spot the Uchiha was standing a second ago, before he started hearing more newer screams accompanying the previous faint screams of the now dead and charred shinobi.
It was minutes later that Itachi finished killing the Genjutsu induced ANBU and Jounin. He had placed the Genjutsu on them after killing the first group of nin with Amaterasu, and proceeded to kill the others easily.
He stood still in the middle of all the dead bodies laying around him, 'I wonder if Naruto-kun, got my message about Deidara and Sasori, going after Garra-kun.' he thought as he body flickered to where he knew Kisame would be waiting for him.
(Kumogakure) (Three Days Before Present Time)
Naruto stood in the house he got from E, the Yondaime Raikage, two years ago. In front of him were three people, Haku, Neji, and Kimimaro. By his side was his father Namikaze Minato, Konoha's Yondaime Hokage, resurrected from the grave two years ago during Oto's invasion on the finals of the Chuunin Exams.
After hearing about how Naruto was treated in Konoha, Minato became ashamed of ever picking the village over his family. At first it was a little difficult for him to handle that his son hated the village that he gave his life to protect, but he quickly got over it, after Naruto told him about the Sandaime condemning him to death.
"Now Naruto-kun, Itachi-kun, sent a message about Akatsuki going after Gaara-kun, Suna's Kazakage. I know you want to go and save your friend right now, so I wont get in your way." Minato said seeing Naruto smile at that.
Naruto then started to groan, "Man father, you ruined the moment, how can I run a meeting if you keep ruining it… well now that the cats out of the bag, I got a letter from Itachi. It mention two members of Akatsuki were after Gaara, and I want you three to accompany me there to help Suna protect him. The journey as you know is going to be far, since we have to pass through Kuma no Kuni (Bear Country), Onsen no Kuni (Hot Springs Country), Hi no Kuni (Fire Country), and lastly Kawa no Kuni, to get to Kaze no Kuni and head to Sunagakure. It's going to take us at least a three days just to get to Tanzaku Gai in Hi no Kuni, and finally two days to get to Sunagakure." Naruto said showing them a map of the Elemental Nations, and marking their checkpoints.
Haku raised her hand and Naruto nodded at her, "How come we wont just ride on your foxes, like we did when we left Konoha two years ago. Their so fast the trip only took two days, instead of three." the brunette said from her spot in the middle of the room.
"I know Haku-chan, that's what I'm talking about, unless this trip would be much longer." he said making the girl blush in embarrassment.
Neji started speaking, "Who are the members of Akatsuki?" he said watching Naruto's face go into one of thought.
Naruto thought about it for a moment he forgot exactly what the letter said since he only glanced at it before his father started reading it. He looked at said man and silently asked the question, "Its Akasuna no Sasori and Deidara of Iwa." he said as Naruto's face went blank.
Naruto turned around and started walking out of the house, "Come on team we have a lot of ground to cover, if we hurry we might get there before Akatsuki." he said, his voice completely monotonous. Neji and Kimimaro followed after there leader without saying a thing, about his change of tone.
Haku turned and slowly followed, thinking about just why Naruto was acting like that. 'Its Deidara's fault for killing Mita, a year ago.' she thought. She didn't go on the mission, but some time during Naruto ran into Deidara and Sasori, his three teammates during that mission fought Sasori, while he and Mita fought Deidara.
Naruto made the mistake of not killing the man outright, and he ended up getting away, but not before setting off a bomb that exploded right when it was by Mita's head. Now every time someone mentions that man's name his face goes blank, only to hide his anger, and want for revenge.
She felt a hand on her shoulder that jolted her out of her thoughts, "Are you alright, Haku-chan?" Minato asked worried about one of his son's mates. She only smiled and nodded her head, which made Minato smile, "Alright then, now you know my son, so you better hurry up or your going to get left." he said chuckling when she blushed a little and body flickered out of the house.
The man gave out a deep and long sigh, "Be careful son." he whispered to himself as he exited the house and began the journey to go to his own. Even after being in the village for the past two years, some of the villagers were still amazed to see a living legend walking casually through the village.
He stepped up to and entered his house to see the Raikage's attendant, Kimiko, sitting in the living room, "Hey Kimiko-chan, I'm finally here, so how's your day going so far?" he asked as he walks up to her and gives her a peck on the cheek.
She smiles when she hears his voice and giggles a little when he kisses her cheek, "Oh its been good, Oh the Raikage, wanted to let you know that there's a meeting for you to go too, in a couple of minutes." she said standing up, just when he was about to sit down.
He groaned, "A meeting, I was sure after being resurrected I wouldn't have to go to anymore meetings." he complained as he wrapped his arm around her waist and they disappeared in a bright yellow flash.
(Present Day) (With Naruto)
Naruto and company just entered Tanzaku Gai, they had regular black cloaks on to cover their faces, but these had there new emblem on it. It was a single skull with wings on both sides of it. (Go to my profile to see the picture) After Tsunade came into power, the village went through a huge change, now it was more militaristic and people were more aware of danger. The village was now nearly populated with only shinobi, since Naruto killed most of the civilians years ago, with his bombs.
When Tsunade learned that it was Naruto, that did most of the damage to the village she immediately put him and the rest of his little gang as S-Class Ninjas. Except Neji started as an A rank, mostly because of a rouge Byakugan user, but after the training he went through it rapidly went to an S rank.
Neji turned his Byakugan off and spoke just loud enough for the group to hear. "There's a hotel just a couple of minutes away from here, and theirs also a dozen or so, shinobi from Konoha here, and judging by their vest their all Jounin." he said not impressed by their chakra reserves. Even though they were regular Jounin sized reserves, because when you train as much as he has your reserves sky rocket to epic proportions.
"Naruto-sama doesn't want us to engage with anybody, we do have a mission you know. We can save playtime for later." Kimimaro said from Neji's side. Kimimaro had also gotten stronger then he was two years ago. A couple of months ago, he learned how to control the bones of other people, he could do it perfectly if the person is dead, but he has a little difficulty if the person is alive. But at the rate of his growth, he'll be able to do that by the end of the year, and its only April.
"We could kill them, and leave without anyone being knowing we were even here." Haku said loud enough for only them to hear, and it made them all smirk, knowing it was true. Haku had also gotten stronger, advancing so much that she could even make ice in the hottest of places, including the desert they were going to. She mastered her blade to the level that she doesn't have to be in possession of it to use its Osoroshii Sesshoku (Chilling Contact) ability. And she can use her Kori Ryu no Megami (Goddess of the Ice Dragon) for longer periods of time, since she mastered the technique.
"Alright team split up, we're drawing attention to us, being in groups like this. I want you each to rest and I'll contact you when its time to leave." Naruto said walking into a nearby alley and disappeared into the darkness, with Haku and the others following his example since their body flickers would bring attention to themselves.
Though, neither had known, some of the Jounins, actually knew they were their. One was Yamashiro Aoba, he prided himself to be able to sense even the slightest fluctuation of chakra. He had felt it when Naruto's summoned foxes left, and felt it when chakra was constantly being used by another one of the members, even if it was just a little being used. He told his partner, Hyuuga Tokuma, about it, who then used his Byakugan to look all over the village.
He located four figures wearing cloaks that blocked the piercing ability of the Byakugan, and knew the only group that could do that was the demon's, Kage-Ho. The name had been released a month after the group left Konoha. But he could tell that it was Naruto himself that was accompanying his group, because he was the only one that had dark red chakra, he could tell this by the footprints being left behind. They had traces of chakra on them, its unavoidable when you have so much chakra.
He deactivated his Byakugan and stopped tracking them when they all disappeared into an alley. He nodded to Aoba, and they each split up to tell the others and then send a message to Konoha, concerning these turn of events. And to think they only came here to scout the village for any activity from Akatsuki or Orochimaru, because this village reported seeing two men walk through with black cloaks with red clouds.
They met up, wrote the information in a scroll, dropped it to the floor, stood around it, and started doing hand signs in unison. It took them five minutes of hand seals, before they each slammed their hands on the floor and yelled, "NINPOU: JOHO O SHOSHIN SURU (Sending Information)" they each watched as a giant seal appeared below it, and a little wind picked up around the scroll and it disappeared as if it did a body flicker, and by using all ten of them, the information would be sent faster then if it was done by one.
(Konoha)
The village of Konoha has really changed in the past two years. Tusnade sat in her office, signing paper, and thinking about how she became the leader of the now fixed village.
It was very fortunate that Tsunade was found by Kurenai and Asuma, telling her to heal Jiraiya, because of the technique Naruto used on him, sent him into a little coma. She reluctantly agreed to heal her teammate and entered the village to find it in ruins. The village had just been invaded and population dropped, drastically.
She didn't care at first and started walking to the little tent, since Naruto had destroyed the hospital, killing the ones inside at the time, which was only the most of the sick, and a few nurses. But everyone else died when Naruto destroyed the mountain faces, which she realized weren't there anymore.
And the more she walked through the destroyed village the more she began to feel bad for it. She realized the village lost more then she did, after not seeing a lot of civilians, she came to the conclusion that they were all killed, during the invasion. She got to the tent and started healing Jiraiya as best as she could. His mind had almost been completely destroyed by the mind shattering Genjutsu he had been put threw.
After healing Jiraiya the remaining Council, the Shinobi and Elder Council asked her to become Hokage, which she accepted, saying she'll fix the village her grandfather built and kill the ones responsible. When she found out who was responsible she grew angry, so now there were two people she needed to kill: Orochimaru and Naruto.
She was pushed out of her thoughts when a seal in the middle of her desk that said, Jushin (Receive) in Kanji lit up, and a scroll appeared on her desk. She picked it up and read the information given, her face turning into a scowl and she glared at the piece of paper in her hands. "Ne." she growled out as a four man squad of ROOT ANBU members appeared in front of her.
She had received the help from Danzo and his ROOT agents after finding the job a little difficult in the first month of her reign as Hokage. But she refused to be used like a figure head and told him that in his face, which he understood completely. Since they had the same goal in mind they decided to work together. Now she had complete control over some of his agents, whenever she wanted to give them the ops, she knew her own ANBU didn't have the proper mindset to handle. "Hai, Hokage-sama." they each said in unison, without emotion.
"I have a special mission for you four, I want you to locate and kill four members of Kage-Ho in Tanzaku Gai, the other members are unknown but the leader, Uzumaki Nauto, is leading the team. I want you to kill the other members and kill him or if possible bring him here, so I myself can kill him." she spoke with authority and they nodded and left to complete the task.
She burned the scroll and turned around in her chair and looked out to her village. Instead of the buildings being made with weak wood and bricks, they were made with reinforced wood, for defense. Each of the houses were given strengthening seals made by Jiraiya to make the wood more durable to damage and destruction.
But with a village with only shinobi, came a dilemma, now what were they going to do about survival, like food. Some Genin dropped out of the ninja business and the ones old enough started their own business like being blacksmiths, tailors, shop keepers, cooks, waiters, barbers, and other jobs were soon filled by people moving to the new Konoha.
The faces were even renewed on the mountain, there stood each of the Hokages, the Shodai, Nidaime, Sandaime, Yondaime, and herself. When word came out that Namikaze Minato had been resurrected, and was now apart of his son's organization Kage-Ho, the village became even more afraid, because they knew the power of the Yellow Flash.
She took her eyes off of the village when she felt a familiar presence, "Ah, Jiraiya, what kind of news do you have for me, you know I can only take so much bad news before I become enraged." she said with an ounce of hope that it didn't involve the demon leader of Kage-Ho.
He frowned knowing she was recently thinking about his godson, Naruto, since she was already angry. He had sensed the appearance of ROOT minutes before he decided to enter the office. Even though he disagreed with the use of ROOT, he had to admit they got the job done, it was only because of them, that the economy and the village was fixed so fast, as they were doing the hardest of missions, while the others did the other missions and fixed the village. "Sorry Tsu-hime, but I only have bad news. I received a message from one of my spies in River Country saying they spotted the two members of Akatsuki heading into Wind Country, they decided they weren't going to wait any longer and decided to go get Gaara and his demon right now." Jiraiya said his face only showing seriousness at the moment.
The blonde Hokage frowned, hearing that, now she had to deal with Akatsuki trying to take the leader of one of their allies. Yes, Suna remained their ally, for some reason, and Kiri had also recently became their ally, after coming out of their civil war. Now she wasn't the only woman Kage, because a woman named Terumi Mei became the village's new Mizukage.
The haired woman tried not to lash out in anger, "Shizune." she called as a middle aged woman walked in the office, with a pig in her arms.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama." the brunette said a little out of breath from rushing into the office so fast.
"I want you to call team Echo, and bring them in, please." she said as the brunette nodded and left to complete the task.
Soon enough team Echo entered the room, the team consisted of Haruno Sakura, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino and Hyuuga Hinata. Tsunade had made Hinata and Sakura her apprentices while they learned other things themselves. "What do you need of us, Tsunade-sensei?" Sakura said as they stood in front of the big breasted woman.
"I have a mission for the team, I received a message from Jiraiya here, and I'm going to have you to go to Suna as fast as you can and protect the Kazakage from the Akatsuki after him." she said as they shuddered a little from hearing both Akatsuki and Kazakage. The Akatsuki because they were a bunch of dangerous criminals and the Kazakage, because he was a little cold to the ones he didn't like, which happened to be Konoha, and they still didn't know why they remained allies. "Of course your not going alone, you will be accompanied by Jiraiya here, so most of the danger would not go your way. Now remember this village has not failed a mission or received a single casualty in the last two years, I don't want this one to be the first, do each of you hear me?" she glared at each and every one of them to get her point across.
The team nodded and exited the building to get their gear ready, each of them hoping the Akatsuki fails to capture the Kazakage.
Jitaiya stayed behind, "Are you sure its safe to send only this much troops, to go to Suna. With Akatsuki there, they might end up hurt, even if I'm there, not only that but what if your team of ROOT ANBU fail their mission to kill Naruto, and he ends up in Suna. We both know that he and Gaara are Jinchuuriki brothers, so that's where he must be headed, I mean honestly why would he be in hiding for as long as he has, only to reappear back in Hi no Kuni. Its because he's helping a brother out." Jiraiya said not knowing that Tsunade had gotten angry after hearing Naruto's name.
He was soon punched out of the office via Tsunade's fist, ans sent flying across the village.
(With Sakura)
She walked into her apartment, and quickly got her stuff ready. She stopped before leaving her room and looked at a picture, it was one of her team, team seven, with Kakashi, Sasuke, her, and Sai, she traced her fingers over both Kakashi and Sasuke. "Pretty soon, you two will be back in the village with me and Sai, I did promise that I'll bring you two back, no matter the obstacle it will happen." she whispered before smiling and leaving her apartment.
(Unknown Location)
Red eyes pierced through the darkness of the dark corridor. A teen was seen walking through, his white Gi, fluttering in a nonexistent breeze, and his blue pants tied with a large purple rope that he was getting a little tired of seeing. He stopped in front of a door and slowly opened it, inside was another door which he opened and walked to the outside of the base.
He looked to his left to see Orochimaru sitting in a chair, and Kabuto behind him, with a tray of medicine at the ready. He then looked in front of him and seen a squad of six cursed sealed monsters. He nodded his head in realization, he was to kill them, because they weren't needed any longer.
He sighed as the first one ran towards him, making him quickly pull out his own Kusanagi and slashed at the first monster. He watched with his Sharingan eyes as his blade went through the monster's neck and sent its head flying above his own head.
It wasn't long before the other five monsters rushed him, before they got within five meters, three of the monsters slipped over their own feet, when a pulse of chakra went threw their bodies, causing their seals to malfunction and the markings receded into the mark.
That didn't stop the other two monster to continue running and get sliced by Sasuke's blade. As the battle went on Sasuke began to think, 'This is boring, if I hadn't gotten defeated by the Hyuuga slut, then I would have left with Naruto.' he unconsciously rubbed the back of his head, where the split in his skull was when he landed outside of the Chuunin Exam arena, and if he hadn't been found by Kabuto then he would be dead.
'Well I did get the next best thing, which is Orochimaru. The training I was put through, definitely gave me the skills in order to kill anyone that wanted me dead. Now I can look for Itachi and finally receive the revenge I've been looking for since the Massacre.' he thought as he landed on the last monster's back and stabbed his sword through its skull, its cry of pain nonexistent as the pain tolerance for these beast were higher then any normal human's.
He jumped off when the creature toppled to the ground, and landed a few feet away from the body. He stared at it for a while and the glanced at Orochimaru, "Next time give me a challenge." he said apathetically before he walked away.
Orochimaru, who was wrapped in bandages, smiled, "He's perfect." he said before going into a coughing fit, and Kabuto gave him his medicine.
"You mustn't overexert yourself Orochimaru-sama, your body is becoming weaker and weaker every day. Why don't you take Sasuke's body now instead of later?" he asked when the snake Sannin stopped coughing.
The Sannin kept his hand over his mouth as he glared at Kabuto with a single slitted eye, "Soon, Kabuto-kun, lets allow him to ripe for a few more weeks before I make my move." he spoke as Kabuto started wheeling him out of the area.
(With Sasori and Deidara)
The two members of Akatsuki were just entering Wind Country, one was a blond with a bang covering his left eye. The other was a shorter and bulkier figure, that moved slowly, which would probably explain their pace.
"We need to hurry, Sasori-sempai, two much time in the desert and were bound to be noticed." Deidara spoke.
"Your right, Deidara, my current puppet isn't a very speedy one, but it still beats your sorry excuses of art." Sasori spoke in a rumbling voice.
"Oh really, your art is better than mine, the heat must already be going to your skull, if your really starting to believe that nonsense." the blond said as a large white bird appeared in front of them, and they each jumped on, and took to the skies.
"Actually its pretty cool in this puppet, and my art last way longer then your art that only lasts for a split instant. You could ask any one and they'll tell you my art is far superior to yours." Sasori said with a hint of mirth in his voice, before he started chuckling knowing it was true.
Deidara smirked, "Well who's art are you flying on at the moment? I don't see any of your inferior art doing what mine can." Sasori stopped chuckling, and released a small amount of KI at his partner.
"Just shut up, Deidara, nobody cares what you think." he said wiping the smirk off of the blonde's face. They continued arguing about who has the better art for the remainder of the flight to Suna.
(With Naruto)
It was now the crack of dawn and Naruto and his group were already jumping in the trees. They abandoned using the Kitsune summons, because they knew they were being followed and the summons would only make it easier to track.
They continued jumping and soon they crossed the Fire Country into River Country, and thought the nin following them would stop, but they kept following, so they landed in a clearing and waited for their pursuers.
Not even a minute later, fourteen shinobi landed around them, ten were the Jounin patrolling around Tanzaku Gai and the other for were ANBU with white masks, so they immediately knew they were ROOT, that and because they had the kanji for 'Ne' on the bottom of their masks.
"You four are under arrest for crimes committed against Konoha." A Jounin said.
"Crimes? We haven't committed any crimes, can you explain to us what we did?" Naruto said feigning innocence.
"You know your crimes DEMON, now DIE!" Another Jounin said before he rushed Naruto.
Before he reached the red head, Kimimaro appeared in front of him and kicked the man in the side of his head sending him to the ground a few feet away. He then held up his right arm and started taking control of the man's bones, he had some difficulty but what he could easily do what he had in mind.
Soon the man started screaming in pain as he felt most of the bones in his body start cracking and bending in directions they weren't supposed to be bending.
The other Jounin reacted to the screaming and charged at Kimimaro, Neji then jumped in front of them and started spinning in a circle, "Kaiten" he said as the chakra knocked the charging shinobi backwards, just as Kimimaro ended his torture session by cracking the man's neck and lowering his right arm.
Tokuma growled at the familiar technique, "I knew it was you, traitor to the Hyuuga clan, Neji." he scowled at the teen and stood to his feet.
Neji smirked as he took his hood off, "You got me, but can you defeat me?" he said as he dropped into a new Taijutsu stance.
The other Hyuuga glared at his distant cousin and dropped into the Gentle Fist stance, as five other Jounin surrounded the member Kage-Ho. The other three members surrounded Kimimaro, cautious about his abilities.
Naruto looked from Neji to Kimimaro, then stopped on the remaining nin, the ROOT ANBU, "Aren't you four going to join in the action?" he said his red eyes flashing in the darkness of his hood.
"Naruto-kun, may I handle these mindless drones?" Haku said from his side, with Naruto saying, 'Knock yourself out.' as he took a couple of steps backwards and watched his subordinates fight their battles.
(With Kimimaro)
The white haired teen, stood there, waiting for his opponents to make the first move.
The three Jounin were contemplating on what to do against someone that can control their own bones, "Alright, I'll go first and you two back me up." a brown haired Jounin said, with the others nodding.
The man charged and used chakra to speed himself up, with his teammates behind him doing the same.
The white haired teen smirked under his hood, and ducked under a punch, quickly punched at the man's stomach sending him flying back, between his teammates. The green eyed Jounin of Kumo, then held up both of his hands and squeezed them tightly, like Gaara would do with his Sand Burial.
Nearly instantly the kneecaps of both men shattered and they screamed on their way to the ground, he was unable to swiftly kill them as the first Jounin appeared in front of him with kunai in both hands.
The Konoha Jounin kept swinging his kunai, each time not hitting his target, but suddenly he used chakra and sped up his attacks, forcing Kimimaro to jump back and point his fingers at him and multiple bullets were fired from his finger tips.
The Jounin jumped to the side and threw his kunai at the bone user, and started doing hand seals, "Raiton: Setsuzoku Seiteki (Static Connect)" he said as a stream of lightning connect between the flying kunai as they flew passed Kimimaro who was smart enough to use a Kawarimi with a log to get out of the way, he was glad as the stream of lightning cleanly cut threw multiple trees before the kunai actually hit trees, ending the technique.
Kimimaro was forced to jump again as the other two Jounin threw kunai and shuriken from their spots on the ground, making Kimimaro jumped out of the way and extend his left and right arms at them and crush their skulls, making a shower of blood erupted from the added pressure.
The brown haired Jounin yelled in anger, "YOU KILLED MY COMRADES!" he yelled as he charged at the bone user faster then before, taking out more kunai.
Kimimaro smirked and pulled at a bone from the back of his hand and charged head on, the Konoha Jounin, slashed at Kimimaro, but only hit air, he didn't expect this and quickly fell victim to the bone users slash to his back that severed his spine. He dropped to his knees in shock and Kimimaro quickly threw his little bone blade in the back of the man's head, as he jumped back.
He landed and stood from his crouch and scoffed, "Not even a challenge." he whispered looking towards Haku's match.
(With Haku)
Haku walked to the four ROOT ANBU and quickly went through hand seals underneath her cloak.
The ROOT were smart enough to know that she just wasn't standing there, to stand there and jumped out of the way, as large spikes of ice emerged from the ground.
The brunette frowned under her hood and went through another set of hand seals, she then watched as the large icicles melted and turned into three larger water dragons.
One ROOT ANBU did his own hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground and a large wall of earth rose in front of all the ROOT, just in time to protect them from the wrath of the water dragons.
He ANBU counted the hits… one… two, he ended the jutsu, forgetting about the third dragon, and he paid for it with his life, the other three realizing this fact jump away when the wall was broken through.
Haku smirked at the first death, 'That's one down, three to go.' she thought dodging a strike from one of the ROOT agents. Soon the other two joined in and she had to dodge all three of their efforts to kill her.
She caught a punch, causing the girl to scream in pain when her fist started freezing and then shatter. The Kumo Jounin ended the poor woman's misery with a freezing punch to her throat, the ice freezing the air pathways making the ROOT agent choke and die from lack of air to her lungs.
"Katon: Dai Endan (Great Fireball)" one of the ROOT members said before firing a large fireball at the ice queen.
Futon: Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough)" the last ROOT member said on the other side of the ice queen.
It wasn't even a second later that the two jutsus hit the ice queen, causing an explosion that ripped the ground from under it and caused the trees to catch on fire.
The two remaining ROOT members met together, "Now we need to kill the demon." one of them said as they both turned to Naruto, who's hood was down since it was blown off by the explosion.
Before they charged they seen Naruto smirk and point behind them, one of them lost their head and the other jumped back, in time to save his own.
Haku stood just out side of the crater the explosion caused with her sword out and dripping some blood from her latest kill. She sighed at missing her last strike, "It would be less painful, for you, if you would just die quickly." she said taking her hood off as she ran her hand through her hair.
The last ROOT member unsheathed his own sword from his back, and got ready. He quickly had to parry a strike from the Kumo Jounin, he knew she was from Kumo because of her Kumo headband hanging from around her neck.
But it was too bad for his own neck because now his head wasn't attached to it, since he was thinking about other things.
He smiled when the fight ended, she cleaned her sword by wiping it on the dead man's vest. She looked up just as Kimimaro looked at her, she smiled and waved.
(With Neji)
Lightning danced around the rouge Hyuuga's body, he disappeared and appeared behind the entire group, he did three hand seals, "Raiton: Kaminari Ya (Thunder Arrows)" he said as he punched out arrows of lightning.
The speed at which the arrows traveled was that of real lightning, and four Konoha Jounin were hit by his four arrows. Now it was only Aoba and Tokuma, and they were even more wary of the dangerous Hyuuga in front of them.
Tokuma was angry that the brat would go against Hyuuga laws and learn Ninjutsu, and even to change his Taijutsu style, now he has committed an even bigger crime.
He charged at the rouge Hyuuga, who slipped into his custom stance and they began to have a Taijutsu battle. Every time Tokuma would land a 'hit' on Neji he would get shocked. And then he would get more shocked when Neji would capitalize on the moment. It wasn't long before Neji was delivering the blows, and Tokuma was unable to dodge or block, due to his immobilized state, the last hit sent the Hyuuga flying back past Aoba, who even though being a Jounin, wasn't much of a fighter. His skills was only that of a Chuunin, it was only his skills at tracking that got him the position of Jounin.
Kimimaro and Haku walked behind Neji just as Naruto appeared behind him, "Leave them alive, we have our own mission, lets move." he said as Neji nodded and he, Kimimaro and Haku body flickered away. Naruto stayed behind, "You should report back to your leader, and tell her that Kage-Ho are out of hiding and inside Kumogakure, I think she would be happy to know this." he said smirking as his body disappeared in black flames.
Aoba was sweating profusely when he dropped to his knees in relief that his life was spared. He was especially fearful about the power the members of Kage-Ho had at their disposal. He looked around the battlefield, seeing all the dead bodies, before he remembered about Naruto saying 'them' he turned around and went to the body of Tokuma.
He checked the pulse, it was faint but the man was still alive, he picked him up and lifted him on his back, after going to the other bodies and burning them, to preserve the secrets of Konoha.
On his way back he cursed himself for not being much of a fighter, and that next time he would fight harder to protect his comrades… or die trying.
(Sunagakure) (Four Hours Later)
Explosions rocked the main gate of the village, sending the village into a quick panic as it was only noon and they were being attacked by somebody, without warning. Deidara flew through the air on his bird of clay heading towards the Kazakage building. "Pretty soon we'll add the Ichibi to our collection… un." the blonde said grinning as he dropped bombs over the village as he got closer and closer to the Wind Tower.
A/N: Well that's it for this chapter… or is it. Go on keep on reading.
Deidara's smile left his face when he had to maneuver his bird out of the way from flying kunai, soon explosions filled the skies as exploding tags were tied to some kunai. He jumped off his bird and made another one, when his other one got hit and exploded just after he jumped off. He snarled at the shinobi of Suna, "My art is still better… check this out." he said dropping spiders that landed on various buildings and exploded, thankfully people weren't inside.
The blonde started laughing manically as he watched the explosions, "HA HA HA HA YOU SEE YOUR EXPLOSIVE ART IS NOTHING COMPARED TO MINE, HA HA HA!" he yelled and laughed at the same time.
His laughter was stopped when his bird was hit by a huge fist made of sand, the explosion blasted Deidara higher into the air, before he made yet another bird. He glared at the rising Kazekage, who was floating on a platform of sand, "Well well well, if it isn't the Kazekage, Subaku no Gaara, it's about time you showed yourself." he said putting his hands into the satchels on his sides.
Gaara stared at the peculiar man in front of him, "Your trespassing in my village, now you have two choices, one: you give up and I put you in prison to rot for the rest of your life, or two: I kill you right now and go on with my life. The choice is yours." the red head said in a voice filled with emotionless authority.
The glare on Deidara's face vanished at the decisions before a smile was put on, "Well I just don't know which on to pick, how about option three I take you and go on with my life." he said throwing little birds at the Kazekage.
(With Kage-Ho)
Naruto on his group just now entered the sand filled country. The sun was at its highest, Haku and Naruto provided the cooling seals, that were now placed on all of the members of Shadow Law.
They continued running through the dunes, 'Soon that crazy bomb using bastard would be no more, just hang in there Gaara, we're coming.' Naruto thought as they picked up the speed.
Minutes turned to hours before they seen the entrance to the village in the distance. No words were spoken as they could still see explosions in the air, meaning that Deidara was fighting with Gaara.
They soon encountered an obstacle when puppets emerged from the dunes around them. They stood around Neji as he started spinning, his chakra dome pushed the puppets backwards.
Neji activated his Byakugan and located the obstacle, Akasuna no Sasori was to their right, about ten yards away, and he was walking towards them slowly. The veins around his eyes pulsated and the Byakugan was strengthen allowing him to see through the puppet, and spotted something that worried him, there was no chakra inside of the smaller body.
"It was about time, you got here, I knew something fishy was going on with Itachi when it was decided that we were to collect the Ichibi, knowing the container was one of your closest friends. After I kill you three I'm going to take you to Leader-sama and rip out your demon." he said summoning thousands of puppets.
Naruto frowned seeing all the puppets, "Neji you and Haku stay here and take care of Sasori, me and Kimimaro are going in the village to take care of Deidara and save Gaara." the red haired leader said as his comrades nodded, and Haku kissing his cheek. "Be careful, remember this guy uses poison so don't get hit." he said as he and Kimimaro jumped away, with Haku and Neji protecting them as they left.
Sasori frowned, "No matter, I'm sure Deidara will capture Naruto this time around." he grumbled to himself as he made his puppets attack, from long range. Kunai flew through the air covering the sun as it rained down on the two.
Neji and Haku worked in perfect synchronization, Neji did his Kaiten and Haku did some hand seals that made water appeared and travel with the chakra dome, and it soon became solid and a dome of ice was made that protected them when Neji stopped spinning.
The rain of metal stopped and Haku started doing hand seals, and yet again the ice melted, but instead of turning into dragons, it just turned into a large wave that moved towards Sasori.
Before the wave could crush the body of the Akatsuki member, the mouth opened and a very large flame was spewed out of it, it was half of the size of the mini tsunami and when the elements crashed into each other, steam filled the area.
Neji activated his Byakugan, and even though he couldn't see the chakra inside of the bodies he could see the chakra strings connected to the puppets and gasped at the complexity of all of the strings being connected to all of the puppets and yet only being controlled by ten fingers. Truly the art of puppetry was a skill to be feared by most, but not to those that know the weakness.
The white eyed Jounin, glanced at Haku, "Haku-chan, I'll handle the puppets you go after the main body, I'll watch your back alright." he said with her nodding, since she knew that his eyes could see things hers cant.
They nodded at each other again and took off quickly to begin their plan.
(With Naruto and Kimimaro)
Naruto and Kimimaro quickly ran through the village, being careful not to be seen, since they weren't supposed to be here. They didn't want to reveal themselves yet, not until they got to the fight.
Naruto looked up at the distant fight, "Alright, I'm the only one that could go into the air, so you stay down here, and run…damage control." Naruto said shrugging at the last part since he didn't know what to say. Kimimaro just sweat dropped and watched as Naruto took his cloak off and then his shirt and brought his wings out and flew into the air.
Naruto flapped his wings and gained altitude, he needed to get there without the blonde's knowledge and pretty soon he's going to feel his chakra if he hadn't already. He molded some wind chakra and blew wind behind him to gain speed and rammed his body right into the blond bomber.
Gaara's eyes widened at Naruto's quick entrance, true to Naruto's belief he had sensed Naruto's unique chakra, he just didn't expect him to get here at the next second. He then let out a small smile when the red headed fire demon appeared next to him while flapping his wings. "Well I would be a liar if I said I didn't appreciate your help." the Kazakage said lowering some of his domed sand to see Naruto more clearly. "Nice wings…" he said looking at Naruto's wings.
"Well it's a good thing I'm not calling you one, because it definitely looked like you needed it, and thank you, they barely come out these days." Naruto said smirking at his friend, before glaring at the blonde that was riding on his bird. "So we finally meet again, Deidara."
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Naruto-kun, I'm sure Itachi wont mind if I take his target." the blonde bomber said putting his hand back into his satchel, 'On second thought, I'm running low on clay and fighting two demon containers would not be good for my health.' he thought checking his satchel and not feeling a lot of clay in it, it seems he used most of it on Gaara and his damn sand.
Deidara looked back at the two demons and smirked, "Oh well, would you look at the time, I'm sure you would want your revenge Naruto-kun, but I just don't have the time to play with you, but I'll leave you a parting gift." the blonde said, making Naruto frown and getting more alert.
Naruto unleashed KI that made Deidara almost miss a beat in what ever he was doing, "I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what you have for me, but I do have some thing for you." Naruto said vanishing from his spot.
Gaara smirked seeing his friend disappear, but Deidara was not smiling, now he couldn't see his target. He sensed something behind him and moved his bird to the side, the fatal strike missed him, but something else was taken. He looked to his side and noticed that he was missing an arm, he looked up and yelled, "AAAGGGHHH MY ARM… you bastard… take this." Deidara said throwing a small and very compressed ball of clay at the two.
Gaara, who has been fighting with the man for the past couple of hours, knew that this piece of clay was dangerous and was already in the process in covering it with his sand. "You'll never survive that, it may not be artistic but it sure is A BLAST!" the bomber said body flickering away from the imminent explosion.
Everything slowed down, Naruto looked at Gaara, "Gaara drop down." Naruto said slowly, as he retracted his wings and started falling down to the village, with Gaara falling through his sand. Naruto focused his mastery over wind and started falling in a more controlled speed, while Gaara slid down a slide of sand.
Soon time returned to normal and the explosion rocked the village and made the two demon's speed increase and the crash created a small crater.
Naruto got out of his crater with the help of Kimimaro, and Gaara also got out of his crater, "Kimimaro sorry that you haven't fought a lot on this trip so go help Haku and Neji with Sasori." Naruto said noticing Kimimaro's frustration because he hadn't had a decent fight in some time.
"Well that would be hard to do since the guys dead." Neji said walking from behind Kimimaro, with Haku at his side, with a couple of cuts on her cloak but other then that she was okay.
"Yeah, that guy was pretty easy when you know just what part of his body is his weakness." Haku said walking towards Naruto, and giving him a big kiss. "Woo I wanted to do that for a long time." she said hugging him.
Naruto chuckled, "Well all you had to do was ask." he said grunting a little when she squeezed a little harder.
Kimimaro was just getting sadder and sadder and was in a need of a serious fight.
Gaara walked up to the group, "Was that Sasori you said that you killed, very impressive, your group sure has gotten stronger these past years haven't they Temari?" Gaara said looking at his sister, who was looking at Kimimaro.
"Yes they have…" she said pushing past Kankuro, "So what's your name?" she asked flirting with Kimimaro, who forgot about his sadness and started flirting back.
Gaara walked over Kankuro and looked Naruto in the eye, "I've been thinking of something, how did you know I was in trouble when I didn't send for any help?" he said making his siblings, and the rest of the growing crowd wonder about that themselves since they just got attacked.
The group smirked, "Lets just say, I have a mole inside Akatsuki." he said chuckling at his genius mole.
"Itachi sent you a message." Gaara said in his monotone voice.
"Yes." Naruto said after a while.
"Well since you're here, you might as well relax, I know it must have taken you at least a week to get here from Kumo, so rest up for a couple of days, after all you have nothing better to do." he said turning around and started walking towards his office to get back to paperwork.
"Well you heard him, PARTY AT THE KAZEKAGE"S HOUSE!" Kankuro said with Kage-Ho cheering at started following Kankuro to the house.
A/N: Well now I'm done, sorry if you wanted to see the fight with Sasori but I just didn't feeling like putting it in here when I'm so sleepy.
Well I'll see ya'll later so let me hear your feedback, that means review, and I'm out.
P.S. Who here thinks that Kishimoto is going too far with the manga, really bringing everyone back to life that died in the series to fight in the war, how exactly did he even know about Haku and was that Dan, Tsunade's old fiancé, how the hell does he even know about him.
This whole manga is starting to turn into a giant cluster fuck so I might stop reading it, though I may get the urges so I might not be able to keep my little promise.
