Chapter 55: Attacked Once More

A/N: I'm back from working on my other stories! Sorry I haven't updated this one for a while, but I had a hard time coming up with the plot for this chapter.

Also, I just got Deviant Art account, so be expecting some pictures of our favorite characters, or if anyone out there is an artist, feel free to make some drawings of them and I'll post them up! (If I figure out how)

Now that Yuri is Hokage, she has to deal with the problems that are about to brew in Konoha.

Can she deal with it? Or will she lose what's left of her mind? (If there's anything left)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Final Fantasy 7. I just own my OC's while Bakuto Masaki owns his and Yumi Seiji owns hers.

Enjoy!

It had been two days since Yuri was made temporary Hokage.

Two long agonizing days listening to her barking out random orders and making up stupid rules.

Mikomi nearly jumped out the window when she first saw her godmother holding the Hokage hat.

While she was happy that another member of her family was Hokage, she just knew what Yuri would do with that amount of power in her hands.

She went so far as to threatening Yuri that she would dispose of her sake collection if she misbehaved while she was temporary Hokage.

She prayed that Naruto and Jiraiya would return soon with Tsunade.

Everyone was working on fixing the village.

Since AVALANCHE decided to stay behind to protect Mikomi, that meant they had to help her with repairs.

The young Jinchuriki was finally healed up and didn't have to wear all of those bandages.

"Now I don't look like a mummy anymore" she said.

She and Bakuto were in charge of fixing the roofs while Yuri supervised them.

Denzel and Marlene helped out too by giving them water and picking stuff up.

Yuri sighed as she sat in the shade.

"Ah, this is the life" she said.

Mikomi glared at her as she was sweating.

It was really hot out today and Yuri was just making it worse for them by sitting in the shade and drinking ice cold drinks.

"You could help out, you know" Bakuto said.

Yuri waved him off.

"Sorry, but as Hokage, I have to make sure you do your work correctly" she said.

Bakuto just glared at her.

He was about to say something, but Mikomi stopped him.

"Save it" she said.

"It's not worth it"

Bakuto just sighed and helped her lift up a large board that was going on one of the roofs.

While Yuri was watching them, Denzel and Marlene came over with a spear gun.

You tend to find a lot of weird things in Konoha.

"Hey, Aunt Yuri, look what we found" Denzel said.

Yuri saw that the spear gun was loaded with a spear and panicked.

She quickly snatched it from them.

"Careful, you two! That thing is loaded!"

As she said that, she accidentally pulled the trigger and fired off the spear.

It went right into the board that Mikomi and Bakuto were carrying and was just inches away from their faces.

Yuri's face paled when she saw that she nearly killed her goddaughter.

"Opps" she said.

"Looks like I am too"

Mikomi and Bakuto freaked out when they saw the spear go through the board and dropped it.

They screamed and grabbed onto each other without even realizing it.

When they calmed down, they looked at each other and quickly shoved each other away.

They both glared at Yuri who was laughing nervously.

"Some Hokage you are" Bakuto said.

Yuri just made a face at him and stuck out her tongue.

Bakuto just rolled his eyes and walked away.

Mikomi walked up to Yuri and snatched the spear gun from her.

"Stop horsing around and start doing your job as Hokage" she said.

Yuri just pouted.

"You're mean" she said.

Mikomi just made a face.

"No. I'm just being responsible when you should be"

She walked away to see what other tasks she should be taking care of.

/

Off on the border of the village, the group that 'Awase' had been working for were preparing for their attack.

The leader's face was obscured by the shadows of the trees.

He looked at his followers to see that they were ready for attack.

'Awase' had ditched her civilian clothing and down wore her ninja outfit.

It contrasted greatly with the one that she wore before.

She wore ice blue Anbu pants with a matching shirt.

An ice blue cloak covered this with a white ice flower on the back of it.

She had a white hunter ninja mask hanging from the side of her face.

Her expression was blank as she looked at her leader.

Her fake happy exterior vanished when she left the village.

The leader of their group wore an evil grin.

"The time has finally come" he said.

"Now that the village has no Hokage, this is the perfect opportunity for us to unleash our plans"

He stood up and towered over his followers who were kneeling before him.

"As the Shi Touken no Metsubo, we will not fail!"

The group cheered as they prepared to head out.

The leader's ice blue eyes shone in the dark as he headed towards the village.

"Soon my plans will unfold" he said.

/

Mikomi twirled the spear gun in a lazy sort of manner.

Since it wasn't loaded, she wasn't posing any threat by swinging it around.

She looked around the village to see that it wasn't as bad as it was a few days ago.

Most of the rubble was gone and a few of the buildings didn't look so dilapidated.

She sighed as she walked down the streets.

So much had happened in such a short amount of time.

Right after Orochimaru attacked the village, Itachi and Yumi showed up and declared that they were after her and Naruto.

Then Kakashi went into a coma for saving her.

And now Naruto and Jiraiya were off to find Tsunade.

Everything just seemed too quiet for her.

She spotted Tifa, Yuffie and Vincent up ahead.

She smiled at them and waved.

She still felt grateful that they had all chosen to stay here with her when they could have gone back to defeat Sephiroth.

They made her feel like she was important.

Yuffie's face lit up when she saw Mikomi.

"Komi-chan!"

She ran up to her and gave her a big bear hug.

Mikomi winced slightly.

Her skin was still tender from being healed, so Yuffie's hugs were hurting her.

Tifa saw this and tugged Yuffie away.

The Wutai ninja laughed nervously.

"Sorry, Komi-chan. I forgot that you just got your bandages off"

Mikomi just waved her off.

"It's fine" she said.

Vincent noticed the spear gun that she was holding and raised an eyebrow.

"Do I want to know?" he asked.

Mikomi just smiled nervously.

"I confiscated it from Yuri" she explained.

Vincent nodded.

Only she could use something like that.

Bakuto came up to them moments later with Yugito and the rest of the gang with him.

Cid had a bit of paint on his clothes from painting some of the buildings.

He lit the cigarette that was in his mouth and took a deep breath of nicotine.

Even the guys were a little frazzled that Yuri was the temporary Hokage.

"I think we just stepped into hell for letting Yuri go with this" Cid said.

"It's not like we had a choice" Red Xlll said.

"The elders decided on it"

Mikomi growled at the mention of the elders.

She was still pissed off about what they said to her.

"Relax, they'll keel over soon" Usagi said.

"They aren't getting any younger" Aerith added.

Barret stretched the kinks from his back.

"All of the repairing is starting to take its toll on me" he said.

"I'm meant to fight, not fix buildings"

Mikomi shrugged sheepishly.

"Hey, when you live in a ninja village, things like this are bound to happen" she said.

"It comes with the job description"

"Yeah, well your job description is staring to get to me" Cloud said.

"I don't know how much I can handle fixing things"

Mikomi let out a mock gasp.

"What?" she asked.

"The mighty Cloud Strife, who saved the planet from Sephiroth and Geostigma can't handle manual labor? I have to write this down on the calendar"

Cloud gave her a weak glare.

Even though Naruto was gone, Mikomi filled his place by being extra annoying.

Bakuto just sighed.

"I don't mind the manual labor" he said.

"But it's Yuri that I can't handle. Your brother better come back soon, because I can't stand another day of her being Hokage. I don't care if it's only been two days, that's way too long for me"

Yugito just patted her boyfriend on the back.

"It'll be alright, Bakuto" she said.

Bakuto just rubbed his face.

"Well…at least today can't get any worse" he said.

"Oh, Komi-chan!"

"Never mind, it just did"

Yuri came running up to them and tackled Mikomi in a hug.

Mikomi's face turned a light shade of blue.

"Yuri! You're choking me!"

Yuri quickly let her go and laughed nervously.

"Sorry" she said.

Mikomi just gave her a weak glare.

"What do you want, Yuri?" she asked.

"I came with some very important news" Yuri replied.

"What? Naruto and Jiraiya are back?" Cid asked hopefully.

Yuri shook her head.

"Nope. I just heard from Gai that Sasuke heard about Itachi and Yumi being here and he went after them"

Mikomi let out an unsteady breath.

She should have known that Sasuke would hear about his brother being in the village.

"Did anything happen?" she asked.

Yuri nodded.

Her face was grim.

"All I heard was that Itachi placed him under his Sharingan and that he's in a coma now. Gai's bringing him back as we speak"

Mikomi looked at the ground.

"First Kakashi, now Sasuke" she said.

"Why can't Itachi just go away and not bother anyone"

The guys were secretly cheering over the fact that Kakashi was out cold.

While they were grateful that he saved Mikomi, but they were happy about it because now he wouldn't be bothering Mikomi.

That was the only thing they were thankful of Itachi, despite him trying to kill Naruto and Mikomi.

Yuri patted Mikomi on the shoulder.

"Cheer up honey" she said.

"Once Tsunade gets here, she'll fix them up. But in the meantime, I'll do what I can as Hokage"

The guys shuddered at that.

They did not want to picture Yuri as their leader.

Bakuto just went pale.

Even though he wasn't afraid of anything, Yuri was one of the only few people that could give him nightmares.

Mikomi just ran a hand through her hair.

"It seems that lately everything has gone from bad to suck" she said.

Yuri just patted her on the shoulder.

"I know" she said.

"But just think, whenever something really bad happens, something really good comes after it"

Mikomi gave her a dull glare.

"Where did you hear that philosophy?" she asked.

Yuri just smiled.

"Your dad, silly"

Mikomi looked sad at the mention of her dad.

If he was still around, he would have made sure the village wasn't in shambles.

Yuffie pinched her cheeks when she saw her looking sad.

"Cheer up, Komi-chan" she said.

"Things aren't so bad"

She placed her hands on her hips and smiled.

"The village was already attacked once" she said.

"Who would do it again?"

Just then, a loud explosion erupted from the border of the village.

One of the walls that protected the village collapsed and fell to the ground.

Everyone looked horrified as they saw smoke in the air.

"Yuffie" Cid said.

"Next time keep your mouth shut"

Laughter echoed throughout the village as the smoke cleared away.

When it did, they saw a group of four people standing on top of one of the walls that didn't get destroyed.

Three of them covered themselves with cloaks, but one of them revealed themselves.

He appeared to be a middle aged man with long spiky black hair, and icy blue eyes.

He wore an all black leather suit that was covered by a black cloak with a Ying/Yang symbol on the back with red lining around it.

He grinned darkly as he saw the fear he put on everyone.

The villagers screamed as they ran away.

The man laughed again before raising his hands as if he were in power.

"People of Konoha!" he shouted.

"Your days of peace and prosperity have come to an end! Now is the time for war!"

Bakuto paled when he saw who it was.

He never thought that he would see this man ever again.

He growled deeply as his eyes turned gold, showing that Taimat was affected by it as well.

The man just grinned evilly as everyone panicked.

"You shall all now taste the wrath of Osore Masaki!"

/

A/N: Uh oh, looks like Bakuto has a relative, and he doesn't appear to be a friendly.

Just what does the Osore want with Konoha? And how will Bakuto react to all of this?

You'll just have to review to find out.
