Chapter twenty-eight
The inauguration went smoothly later that same day and the village seemed happy about having Tsunade as their new Hokage… It was better than Jiraiya or there probably wouldn't have been any privacy for women left in the whole village. I stood upon Hiruzen's newly furnished head on the mountain thanks to Sage and his architectural skills.
"I am the one who will run this village starting today, I am the Gondaime Hokage." Tsunade announced and all of the ninja cheered as they moved off to complete their duties. Tsunade was now talking to the elder advisors with Jiraiya and the advisors moved off and I stood up and took a deep breath as I jumped down and landed with a flip in a kneeling position in front of Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"I apologise for hi jacking you like this but there is something urgent I must speak to you about Tsunade." I said standing up gracefully as I had been training recently again.
"Can't this wait another day or so?" Tsunade asked with annoyance.
"Tsunade, I suggest we get this over with now rather than later… It's kind of a big thing to discuss plus you know Sonea as well as I do, she wouldn't say something was urgent if it really wasn't." Jiraiya said seriously to Tsunade who noticed this and also turned serious.
"Alright then we shall talk in my office right now then." She said, leading us back into the tower and down towards her office. Shizune was already there and stood calmly off to the side while Tsunade sat down in her chair and I noticed my file on her desk waiting to be read. I placed a silencing barrier around the office and even Jiraiya placed one around that and Tsunade raised an eyebrow at this.
"Quite ironic that you should be getting to my file next but I'll explain everything plus more that is in there at the moment. You already know that I'm immortal due to my clan and my bloodline limit but that is all that has been explained, am I correct?" I asked and she linked her fingers together and rested her chin on them and nodded. " I come from the time of the Rikudo Sennin and I was once his apprentice and as you know he was the first jinchuuriki that held what was known as the Jyuubi." I explained calmly.
"I though that was all myth… So the nine bijuu were created out of it thanks to his rinnegan… That's all true as well?" Tsunade asked.
"Partially true." I corrected and her eyes widened a little but she nodded for me to go on. "It was first split into its yin and yang counterparts and the nine bijuu were created out of its yang side." I said slowly and carefully.
"What happened to the yin side of it?" She asked carefully, her fingers tightening around her hands.
"I have it." I said and Shizune gasped and grabbed my file and began to flip through it. "What ever the sealing did to me and my bloodline caused me to stop aging unless I am mortally wounded and I tend to age a little depending on the damage. I disappeared for a few years after I swore to protect the bijuu but I didn't and now they are the hateful beings they are today with rage towards me after what they had been through thanks to the Uchiha and other clans as such. I returned during the end of the warring states period where I met the Senju and Uzumaki clans and sided with them and I've been here ever since trying to fix my mistakes." I said, finishing with the first part and Shizune put my file down with wide eyes and Tsunade still had a stone face on.
"So what you're saying is that you're the immortal jinchuuriki to half of the most terrorising beast the ninja world has ever known?" Tsunade asked carefully.
"Yes but there is more to what my file says if you want to listen." I said and she leaned back and waited for me to carry on. "My seal is special and called the 'fate' seal. If someone decides to bring the bijuu back together into one and their plan is full proof, my seal begins to weaken and starts to break and I have a choice to make. Either stop them or allow it to happen… Which is exactly what is happening right now." I said and Tsunade sat up quickly with anger on her expression.
"What?!" She questioned in a hiss.
"The organisation named Akatsuki where Orochimaru use to be a former member is after the bijuu… I caught up to Itachi once and he confirmed it for me, he even knows what it means if this happens and right now my seal is in the weakening stage and has been since a few months ago when Jiraiya alerted me of their presence." I explained and Tsunade chewed on her thumbnail furiously.
"So they're planning on resurrecting the Jyuubi… Wha will happen if they succeed?" Tsunade asked.
"You either need some powerful dojutsu to control it or it'll run rampant on the earth and enslave all of human kind into a fake world and eventually the ninja world and everyone in it will die out… I cannot tell you everything about it since I was born a few years after the Rikudo sealed it into himself but he had told me legends and stories and I have been raised specifically to house the demon but I was not able to handle the whole thing and so sensei split it into two and then into nine… He never told me anything about it but it was an evil humanoid creature with one eye like this." I explained and shifted into Jyuubi chakra mode and showed her my eyes and Shizune looked like she wanted to run.
"Such malicious chakra… So can you control it or what?" Tsunade asked looking a little tense.
"Many years ago I took control of its chakra but sadly to an incident caused by Uzumaki Taka who died a few years ago I have lost most of my memories and I cannot tell you how I managed to gain control which is very unfortunate." I explained as I shifted back into my demon form.
"She's also using senjutsu at the moment to keep it in place… a demon like sage mode since her clan, the Chi clan had been said to originate from demons years before the Jyuubi." Jiraiya further explained.
"That's right, I remember you having blonde hair and blue eyes… So senjutsu is able to suppress a bijuu then?" She asked.
"To a point, it gives the user an advantage but bijuu aren't too phased about it but the Jyuubi hates it and cuts into it harshly when all other techniques fail which is why I'm stuck in this mode and slowing down the process of my seal breaking down." I explained.
"Perhaps in time Naruto should learn it but at the moment he has control over the Kyuubi's power like his seal had intended." Tsunade explained.
"His seal is weakening rather than allowing it through, we need to keep a close eye on that as well but I think Naruto is a bit young to learn it yet, we still have at least four years before my seal completely breaks down at the least so we have some time, we just have to watch him like a hawk that's all and not let Akatsuki get close to him like last time, right Jiraiya?" I asked with some anger leaking through as I crossed my arms and leaned on one leg and he laughed sheepishly.
"But if they've tried once already, won't they try again soon?" Tsunade asked with worry.
"The Kyuubi has to be sealed last or it'll screw the whole thing up, we have time plus I'll be sticking close to him, they wouldn't be able to take down both of us also keep in close contact with our refreshed allies, Suna, Sabaku no Gaara has the Ichibi in him." I warned and Tsunade took down notes in my file.
"I will keep that in mind… Is there anything else I need to know that is not in your file Sonea?" Tsunade asked seriously.
"No, that is all you should still read my file for further information… Your grandfather wrote it all down in detail." I said and Tsunade smiled with nostalgia.
"I'm sure he did. Now do you need a day or two or can I send you off on a mission straight away with your team?" She asked and I grinned.
"Finally." I said determinedly and she smiled as she dug through some papers and found a mission for me.
I was put onto ANBU missions due to the stress the village was under and I didn't get as much rest time as normal people because I could take the stress of one mission after another. I eventually did get a break for one day.
I was watching Tsunade talk to Lee on the top of the Hokage tower and I was smiling, she found a way to increase the success rate and Lee was going for the surgery that afternoon. I let my eyes roam over the rest of the village when they landed on the hospital roof. Naruto and Sasuke were fighting and with intense killing intent against a comrade. I stood up to find Kakashi to break it up, Jiraiya was with him at the time.
"Hey, you may want to separate your students before they kill each other." I called to them and they looked at me with a bit of shock before taking off after me. Kakashi stepped in, just in time and threw them in different directions into water containers. I watched as Chidori and Rasengan flew into the water containers. I jumped onto the container that the Rasengan hit and I saw the damage behind it.
"What do you two think you are doing on the hospital roof? Don't you think this is a bit much for a sparring match?" Kakashi asked them from next to Sakura. I saw Sasuke smirk at the hole Naruto made on the one side.
"Sasuke, were you planning on killing Naruto?" Kakashi asked bluntly. "Why must you insist on being so superior? Chidori is not a move to use against someone from the same village. Why did you act so childish?" Kakashi asked from the water container next to me. Sasuke and Naruto scowled at each other and Sasuke left by flipping over the wall. The hatred in their eyes reminded me from the Senju and Uchiha clan war, it was that strong, no, this wasn't rivalry it was hatred but why. I narrowed my eyes and sensed Jiraiya close by.
I jumped over towards the container Kakashi was sitting on and I crossed my arms in anger at both of them. I looked down to where Sakura was crying and my blood seemed to increase tenfold.
"Ah, where's the teamwork?" Kakashi sighed to himself. "Were you the one who taught him that technique? I believe that Naruto is still to young to learn that technique. If he screwed up he could have killed Sasuke…" I cut him off.
"Can it, the both of you." I growled loudly and it seemed that they both visibly flinched. " They both shouldn't have those techniques. Hatake, Sasuke is nothing like you and Jiraiya, Naruto is not Minato. Get it through your thick skulls, this is more than rivalry, it's hatred, I saw it in their eyes. Now fix this before they really do end up killing each other next time." I scolded them and released some killing intent and were silent afterwards. I shook my head and jumped off of the water container and walked over to Sakura who was still crying and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sure it's just some pent up emotions and I'm sure Kakashi will sort this out so things can go back to normal soon Sakura, just try to help them along like you've always done okay?" I asked her gently as I pulled out of the hug and here tears were nearing an end and she nodded. I rested my hands on her shoulders for a few seconds before turning to glare at Jiraiya and Kakashi then left for another mission, I had some frustration to work off, screw getting some rest.
