Decided to do some world building. There are maps of the Naruto world, that I'm using to be as accurate as possible. I'm many use the Deviant art Naruto world map by Lady 1 Venus. As my source checked it out to know what I'm talking about in terms of strategies.
Otogakure Southen hideout.
Originally built south on a Micro island near Wave to keep and eye on Kirigakure looking to enter the land fire through the sea while avoiding Uzugakure. This island fortress has long since been abandoned and forgotten since the first shinobi world war. A perfect place for Orochimaru to use as a base and hideout. His precious few spots Sasuke doesn't know about seeing as he was kept in the actual Orogakure most of the time. His few meetings with Karin being in different locations and Orochimaru destroyed all the maps to the others. With his Demon island lap in the land of sea being compromised with the one in Kasugakure. The rest of the bases being destroyed mixed with Orochimaru own distrust of anyone, all he had left was the eastern base Kabuto's personal island base which he didn't have the strength to go to and Karin's south base. Orochimaru took great pains to make Kabuto transfer all useful experiments and prisoners to his three surviving places. Where Karin could continue the work he and Kabuto couldn't.
Karin's lab. Fourth floor. A year after Danzo's death.
Since originally leaving Kusagakure Karin Uzumaki has been fiercely loyal to and terrified of Orochimaru. As well as being madly even stupidly in love with Sasuke Uchiha. Since she spent most if not all of her time in a lab on a base in the middle of the ocean, or running under guard unable to stop to a different lab in a different base normally in a different part of the ocean. Karin hasn't kept up on current events. Like most Otogakure loyalists Karin was kept in the dark on everything not useful to Orochimaru. For 20 years Karin thought only she and her saint of a mother were the last of their clan. For three years she had no idea Sasuke was back in Konoha after murdering what could be her only family. She only found out when the Otokage and his second in command came for a long term inspection. Knowing full well Orochimaru was getting sicker and would need another body soon, Karin was at Orochimaru's door with some medicine when she heard it all.
Her heart sank first she was angry Konoha kidnapped her precious Sasuke-Kun. Then shocked that they got him because he killed his old blonde teammate. Finally on the verge of tears listening Orochimaru explain that he already dug her cousin up for experiment and make him an undead weapon. That was the day Karin stopped being afraid and Sasuke didn't matter for anything more then someone to stab. Now she needed to get out of Oto. Studying up on Kabuto's background when he was one of Sasori's agents. Along with Orochimaru's background as Sasori's former Akasuki partner. She managed to find the Akasuki information pipeline and found out Kisame was an old friend of Suigetsu's brother. Even better Akasuki has wanted Orochimaru dead for years so she found her tools. Seeing as she was also a high ranking member of Oto Karin used here status to have Suigetsu transferred to her base for "experimentation". With Orochimaru's permission of course stating he could be a potential body with his near indestructible ability to turn in to water. She would use the Oto shinobi as a means to contact the pipeline since they don't ask questions, when she drops Orochimaru's name. She didn't know if Kisame or his partners would take the bate but she prayed the former terrorist would.
Till then she needed Suigetsu on her side. "So what are you going to do to me this time bitch?". Suigetsu asked still trapped in his jar Karin looked around making sure no one was listening. "Look I know you don't like me and I never liked you but we both want out of Oto". She whispered Suigetsu listened unbelieving. "Is this because Sasuke left you?". He mocked it annoyed her. "This is because he killed a member of my family idiot. Now Orochimaru wants to "play with him". Like he said I'm not letting that happen. You got caught trying to be Mangetsu so you know how important family is. Despite what you may think I'm an Uzumaki first. I won't allow my family whether I knew them or not get violated by that perverted bastard". She said angrily Suigetsu was silent as she glared.
"I know I've done a lot of horrible shit under Orochimaru's orders Suigetsu especially to you. The bastard is here with Kabuto right now he's half dead a couple of rooms down. You promise to help me get to Wave on your honour as a future member of the Seven. I'll get you out deal?". Suigetsu stared in to her eyes and saw the conviction in them and sighed. He didn't really have a lot of opinions regardless. "Fine deal but after we're out we're done got it?". She nodded to him in agreement. "Get me to Wave and we're golden. I have something coming here to sweeten the deal but you better deliver". Karin said Suigetsu grunted but then thought of something. "Still I want Samehada Kisame knows this hell the ass kicking that got me caught was because of him". Suigetsu informed Karin was irritated.
"Kabuto's spy said Akasuki broke up in Amigakure. His last known direction was south I was hoping he was heading here. That's why I had you transferred". She informed surprising him. "Instead he went to Kiri to fight the war but he's apparently heading to our area now. I'm hoping he finally decided to come get you". Suigetsu was annoyed to hear that. "Wait he rejoined Kiri?". He asked Karin nodded. "He saved the new Mizukage and is trying to reestablish the Seven swordsmen. I'm guessing that means you're useful enough to bother with now". Karin informed then glared hard at Suigetsu.
"I don't care if you two want to kill each other here and now if it's enough of a distraction for me to get out. If he doesn't then I still have you at your word. I've been patient long enough so if I have to rip this base apart myself I fucking will". Karin said still maintaining her ruthless Oto edge Suigetsu was annoyed then she saw his watery eyes widened in fear. "I guess that's why you hired me to get this then?". Karin was terrified now because behind her was a hooded man in black. His face as always was covered black glasses covered his eyes and he was holding Zabuza's legendary Kubikiriboceho casually over his shoulder. "Oh fuck". Karin and Suigetsu said shivering as he placed it on the table no one knew who he really was but he was Orochimaru's favourite freelancer for hunting traitors. Ruthless efficient deadly always delivered on a contract and fiercely loyal to the person paying him at the time. Karin hired him to get the sword not telling him it was to betray his favoured client. While also using him to dig up information on her cousin. Now that she thought about it that was probably a stupid idea.
"I suppose I should let you know Kisame is indeed on his way. He's taking his time stopped for a few drinks got something to eat and took a nap near a rather nice stream after finishing his swordsmen today magazine but is indeed on his way now eventually probably. Give it week at the rate his going". He informed Karin didn't want to turn are she was to scared to. Suigetsu was just as scared even more then being pissed at Kisame. "So Karin-San I believe we agreed to the sum of ten million for the sword with another five for Information on Uzumaki Naruto. Even if I said I didn't need that much". She nodded fearfully pointing to the table he grabbed the scroll and put it in his jacket.
"Are you going to kill me?". She asked fearfully damn near tearing up you don't get to be Orochimaru's favourite anything, without being something to fear. "Hasn't crossed my mind I'd be terrible at my job if I betrayed a customer while I'm on the clock. You paid for the sword and information also Orochimaru hasn't payed his bill in quite some time. So technically I still work for you". He casually informed surprising the two Karin turned around still scared. "Killing him is bad for business still doesn't mean I'll betray my new client for him. I'm sure he'll understand he is a self proclaimed businessman after all". Karin really didn't like his logic but was glad he had it given that he could kill her vary easily. She saw him in action when Orochimaru tested his worth. She never saw the Snake Sannin so terrified of a person in her life.
"I'm freelance only loyal to Otogakure when payed to be I was not. You also payed on time and far higher then Orochimaru has. So I like you better". She knew he was grinning. "What if he pays you to get the information or to kill me?". She asked he shrugged. "I won't tell if you don't you have to know what you want before you bother me. I don't like long explanations or questions on how I do things. I don't betray my clients unless they themselves betray me first. Not paying me for a job even having the cheek to appeal to my better nature afterwards. Is a betrayal I also don't have a better nature to appeal to nor do I care to have one". He informed she nodded still afraid of him. "Until I tell you what you want to know our contract hasn't ended and my loyalty is yours". Karin was to in shock to listen to his amusement she knew he was about to tell her when Kabuto walked in. "Why did you say you didn't need that much?". Suigetsu asked worried the assassin shrugged. "The blade wasn't exactly in a high security base. It was basically next store in Wave. The information on Uzumaki was the expensive part, but not worth 15 million you must have really wanted it Ma'am". Karin nodded as the assassin grinned. "Word of advice next time let me give you the number first. I even said it's way to much but you wouldn't hear of it. I'm honest on jobs I'm not cheap still doesn't mean I'll rob you". He explained Karin mentally smacked herself she could have used some of that to disappear. "Karin is the medicine for Orochimaru-Sama ready yet?". He asked Karin nodded while Kabuto continued looking at the Hunter.
"It's been awhile so what brings you here today?". Kabuto asked with concern not giving the name out. "Where's my money Kabuto?". He asked getting straight to the point Kabuto frowned. "We had everything waiting with interest like you ordered. Orochimaru-Sama even added a bonus. He'd rather not loss his favourite assassin and dealer. Especially after all your hard work". Kabuto started. "Had implies you don't anymore kiss your masters ass not mine boy". He replied dangerously Karin never saw Kabuto sweat outside of long surgeries before. It would take a man of intense power to be able to shake down a village. Especially one filled with psychopaths like Kabuto and his master. "Like I said fifteen million in hundreds were waiting for you someone stole it. Don't worry we'll find it and deliver the thief to you". He informed trying not to shake under his unseen gaze Karin was sweating to the man in black simply nodded.
"I see so you're telling me to expect double the next time I return. Also that I'm not required to be charitable with that gremlin looking boss of yours anymore. Favoured client or not am I right? After all you've seen what I can do and I can just as easily do it to you". He threatened with a deadly tone of voice Suigetsu nearly turned to ice with how cold he sounded. "I…I suppose so did you bring the items you contacted us about?". Kabuto asked Karin never saw him this scared before but it was always when this guy was around. "No I was just in the neighbourhood on my way to deliver this but Karin-San peaked my interest". He said and pointed to the sword behind him lazily with his thumb Kabuto nodded.
"You can stay as long as you want of course. I'll go inform Orochimaru-Sama of your arrival. Again I'm sorry but I'm sure Karin can be of service to you". Kabuto bowed the hunter nodded getting him to leave Karin shuttered at what Kabuto was implying about her. "While you're doing that let him know the market is closing. The only reason I'm keeping them on ice right now is because I'm nice". The hunter informed annoyed Karin and Suigetsu saw Kabuto shaking. "Of course thank you so much sir". Kabuto bowed and left the assassin chuckled.
"You're not going to….". Karin started worried the man shook his head. "My loyalty so let's keep this professional. I also like my women to be willing". The assassin assured Karin mentally sighed in relief. "Besides we don't have that kind of time regardless". He informed he pulled a piece of his mask down reviling a bit of his mouth. He pulled out a flask a drank from it sitting down offering some to her she refused. "Not a whiskey person?". He asked with a grin. "I don't drink especially when all hell is going to brake loss". She informed shacking he shrugged. "It helps with the nerves you're nothing but them right now. There's a reason why it's called liquid courage Y'Know". He said with a grin Karin grabbed the flask and took a hard swig giving it back he was right it did help then she coughed it was strong stuff. The hunter grinned taking one of his own and was silent afterwards clearly waiting.
The fortress main door.
Seeing as Oto was once basically a true hidden village with multiple bases instead of one location and Orochimaru making it a point to burn all maps leading to other unknown bases when Sasuke turned traitor. The southern bases security wasn't all that impressive. Most Oto ninja were secretly only accepted to be either potential bodies experiments or meat shields. So the best Oto jonin now a days was essentially no stranger then a main village chunin unless experimented on first. Also given those of them who had a bloodline would be ripped to pieces almost all the time. Potential bodies or at least potentially strong soldiers either dying like Kimimaro and the Sound 4 or smartening up and running off like Guren. Never mind sacrificing his living soldiers for dead ones like his Genin team in the exam. So Orochimaru managed to turn his village of great potential, in to a dumping ground for garbage Ninja untrained psychotics and insane "doctors". Whose only real show of strength was its half dead leader his second in command and the now nearly extinct Shiin and Oto Fuma clans. Especially since most of the Fuma's later left themselves leaving only loyalists behind.
Right now these lack lustre Shinobi were playing poker in front of the large steal door severing as the true base defence. Outside in the water Kisame poked his head out scanning the area. On his way over he swam across some surprising but ignored it for now. He didn't find any patrols or anything security related. No look outs trip wires anything Kisame was wondering if Orochimaru was that stupid or his men were that lazy. Still cautious he emerged from the water. Ditching his Akasuki robes he was now wearing black tight pants and a skin tight black sleeveless shirt with black sandals and a new Kiri headband. Samehada gripped tightly in his hand over his shoulder he walked to the door. The door itself was a foot thick of hardened steal built to withstand the forces of a large explosions. To angry Jinchuuriki Kisame grinned at it.
Inside the base the guards were bored when they heard a knock it wasn't the current pattern of knocks so they were getting ready to attack. When they thought they were prepared enough one of them walked to it and opened the looking slot built in to it. "Who's there?". He asked when a large blue scaled sword burst through the door in to his chest and out his back scaring the others, especially when the sword actually growled at them showing it's teeth. When it was pulled out they saw Kisame in the hole in the door smiling at them. "Hello". He said slicing the door in two. "I'm looking for someone white hair shark teeth kind of irritating. Any ideas?". He asked the Shinobi were silent to scared to talk making him grin.
"Ok how about your boss? Like I told an old friend of mine. Killing him would be a bonus". Again nothing making him smile. "Terrific I guess I get to go exploring then". He said excitedly charging the frightened shinobi cutting all six men in to two with one easy swing before moving on. Kisame was walking down the dark hallways of the base casually in no real rush to actually save Suigetsu. For all he knew Suigetsu was gone for all he knew he was never here to begin with. Hell for all he knew it was all a trap Orochimaru planned trying to catch him after he left Akasuki. Didn't matter to him regardless he wanted to kill something since Obito ran off luckily Oto was nice enough to help him with that.
Two groups of Shinobi were waiting for him on opposite ends of the hall way exit shivering. The two guys in front looked at pulling out shuriken they needed to keep him alway from Orochimaru. Counting to three the leaped out and threw them continuously at Kisame. Who just keep walking at a brisk pace using Samehada to lazily block the projects. He nearly yawned with how boring this was. "I at least thought this would be mildly entertaining oh well". He thought getting to the end swinging his sword to the right slicing out three men then turning taking out another four. "Suigetsu where are you, ya dumb brat?". Kisame said bored making his way down the hall doctors came out to see what the noise was all about and froze.
"Suigetsu here?". Kisame asked getting straight to the point the terrified doctor shook. "Top floor second laboratory down the hall to your left". He said quickly Kisame nodded in thanks bringing Samehada down killing him instantly. "I know you're probably all going to tell me you're just doing your job, but all things considered I don't rightly care". Kisame said ready to kill the petrified doctors. After the massacre Kisame freed a few prisoners. For no other reason then to piss Orochimaru off including a strange looking fish girl. "Who are you?". She asked frightened.
"Names Kisame you?". He asked. "Isaribi". She asked shyly. "Wait the girl the brat took from Land of Sea?". She glared angrily at him. "He wasn't a brat his name was Naruto". She said angrily Kisame shrugged. "You didn't know him like I did anyway I thought you went to Konoha". She nodded sadly. "I was moving to Wave a week after finding out what happened. No one stopped me so I left Orochimaru captured me on the road". She explained Kisame nodded undoing her straps she stopped him. "They have some kind of insane guy upstairs. He murdered four doctors on his way here be carful". She warned Kisame grinned. "Sounds like I mite get some entertainment after all now get out of here". He ordered she nodded. "Thank you Kisame-Kun". She said running out. "Kun?". He said with a raised eyebrow shock his head. "Don't tell me I'm being all heroic or some shit?". He asked himself annoyed continuing on his way.
The next level.
Shinobi were prepared for a fight swords loyal mutants jutsu all at the ready. As Kisame walked up he looked up the stairs. He saw two extra levels. "Go straight up or section by section?". He asked himself walking to the next floor and saw the Shinobi waiting for him and grinned. "Suigetsu can wait a while longer". He said charging the Shinobi the cramped spacing didn't matter as Samehada went through the walls and steal doors in to the shinobi with each swing.
The two Shinobi on the end ran to a giant door while Kisame killed their comrades. "What are you doing?". The panicked Shinobi asked the other while he was unlocking several locks. "I'm not dying here not by him we need back up". He informed shacking going threw keys while everyone behind them was butchered before he was grabbed. "Are you fucking nuts? It took half a hospitals worth of tranquilizers to knock him out and bring him here". He yelled trying to grab the keys and got stabbed in the throat because of it. "That's why I need him". He said letting his comrade drop he unlocked the final latch while Kisame slaughtered the others.
"Jugo Orochimaru-Sama needs your hel-AAAAAHHHHH". Kisame turned with the others and saw a large Orange haired man with his hands around the Oto Shinobi's neck braking it scaring the others. He glared angrily at Kisame who grinned in return. "So what do they call you big fella?". Kisame asked. "Jugo the Scales". He replied Kisame turned gripping his sword. "Well?". He asked with a blood thirsty scream Jugo change at Kisame who charged back at him. The Shinobi between the two screamed in terrified now Kisame was going to have some fun.
The laboratory.
The three heard laud banging laughing and screaming Karin was terrified the assassin grinned. "Right on schedule". He said grabbing Kubikiribocerho. Kabuto ran in to the lab in a panic. "Kisame is here fighting Jugo. They're killing our men in the process". He Informed getting their attention. "We need your help now lord Orochimaru is to sick to fight". He nearly begged the assassin. "Can you move Karin-San?". He asked politely Karin stepped back the assassin still sitting in his chair gave a lazy one handed swing with the massive sword. It was enough to shatter the container holding Suigetsu. "What are you doing?". Kabuto shouted. "If I were you Kabuto I'd be running". The assassin said Kabuto ran out to get Orochimaru and escape.
"Oh man that's much better". Suigetsu said stretching the assassin tossed Kubikiribocerho to him. Suigetsu caught it with a grin. "One down six more to go". The assassin chuckled at him. "Don't act like you fought Zabuza for it now do your job". The assassin ordered Suigetsu flinched and ran out killing as he went. The assassin took another swig pocketing his flask. "Here's everything I've dug up on Uzumaki". The assassin said handing Karin a note book before standing up. "Now then I guess I'll take my leave good day Karin-San". The assassin said walking out. "Wait you're not going to help?". She asked angrily he looked at her grinning under his mask.
"My exit is blocked so I'll be killing my way out. Just follow the trail". He replied walking out making her shiver walking to the closet she moved her lab coats to find a bag some scrolls with her notes sealed they were on genuine medical research. Like medicine her families heal Jutsu's money everything she had stuffed in a bug out bag. "I hope it will be enough to get me someplace to hide. I really hope his notes will help I'm so sorry cousin". She thought sadly before running out.
Orochimaru's room.
Orochimaru was covered in bandages coughing up a storm. Blood was leaking through his wrapping when he heard the screaming. Kabuto burst through the door locking it behind him. "Kabuto…what's…going on?". Orochimaru gasped out Kabuto kicked open the windows and shutters. "We have to get out of here Kisame is storming the base". He informed grabbing Orochimaru's arm lifting him up. Orochimaru was in pain to much to move his legs weren't working either. "Why is Kisame here. Is our friend helping at least?". He asked painfully Kabuto sneered. "He told me to run but I doubt he's helping because we haven't payed him yet". Orochimaru was angry to hear that. Still he respected the assassins ruthlessness.
"It doesn't matter right now we need to leave. We'll find out who robbed us later". Orochimaru said Kabuto nodded having Orochimaru piggy back him when a huge blade sliced through the door. "I'm coming you bastard". Suigetsu yelled destroying the door he saw Kabuto about to jump through the window. Running up he managed to stab Orochimaru just enough that the push made Kabuto loss his footing. With a grin Suigetsu watched them fall and land hard on the rocks below he knew they were alive though he was about to pursue when he heard. "Suigetsu where are you?". He heard Karin shout he sneered he saw Kabuto crawling to the paralyzed Orochimaru and growled. "Fuck". He said turning to see the assassin he tossed something at Suigetsu when he caught it Suigetsu grinned. "I like being payed". The assassin said then left.
"Lord Orochimaru". Kabuto grunted he broke some ribs on the drop though his healing factor was already working on them. Orochimaru was badly hurt and needed medical attention more then he did blood was seeping out of him. "I can't…move my back…is…broken". Orochimaru said Kabuto dipped his hands in Orochimaru's blood and summoned one of Orochimaru's fastest snakes. "We don't have time to be subtle let's go my lord". Kabuto said grabbing his leader something fell beside them with a sizzling sound. "Out no". Kabuto yelled pulling Orochimaru back as the blast launched Kabuto and the now legless Orochimaru In to the sea the snake following. "Take that you prick". Suigetsu said running back to Karin. Kabuto burst out of the water gasping grabbing the snake he had third degree burns. Putting what was left of Orochimaru on the snake and held him as the snake moved at top speed in to the water. "I don't care if we don't have stronger hosts you need a new body now wait the three years". Kabuto ordered Orochimaru in the most pain he ever felt in his life gagged in agreement.
With Karin.
Karin saw some Oto shinobi setting up some barriers to hold off Kisame and Jugo. "Karin-San we need help". One of the shouted when the saw Suigetsu standing beside her, they realized who the traitor was. "You traitorous fucking bitch". He shouted angrily Karin glared Suigetsu was about to attack when she stopped him. "What are you going to do doc give them all cavity searches?". Suigetsu mocked then froze when gold chains burst from Karin's back launching at the Oto Shinobi. One went through the chest of an Oto ninja then in to the face of another. The other chain grabbed a leg pulling the guy over and smashing him in to a wall, before he was torn in half down the middle. "Why the hell did you need me and Kisame if you could do that?". Suigetsu asked a little scared at Karins cold look. "AAAAAAHHHHHH".
"HAHAHAHA". They heard Jugo scream and Kisame laughing. "That's why now let's go. Theirs someone else we need to get". She ordered Suigetsu nodded walked beside her grinning. "Believe it or not I found that pretty hot". He commented Karin chuckled. "I plan to do something similar to Sasuke one day. I may not have known Naruto but no one fucks with my family". She replied Suigetsu grinned at that as they moved down stairs not noticing the Assassin grinning in the shadows.
The second level.
Karin and Suigetsu walked down the stairs and saw it filled with Shinobi looking at them ready to attack. "Ok doc now it's my turn". Suigetsu said Karin crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. Suigetsu grinned at the odds against him. "Alright let's do this baby". Suigetsu said excitedly. "You're talking the sword right?". Karin asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yep". Suigetsu said charging to the 40 men in the cramped hallway. He stabbed forwards impaling four in one go given how tight the space is the massive blade was at a disadvantage. Seeing as he wasn't as physically strong as Kisame and the sword was weaker. Suigetsu couldn't swing through the walls. So Suigetsu got an idea swinging the blade under his arms over his shoulders so the blade would only scrap the corners of the hallway. Suigetsu turned himself into what was basically a propeller. The Oto Shinobi stepped back tripping over each other as they watched their friends get cut to pieces.
With Kisame and Jugo.
Kisame was slammed through the door of another laboratory still in a dead lock with Jugo. Jugo's hands were gripped on Samehada as it feasted on his energy. Jugo barely felt it. "What a minute this Chakra oh shit". Kisame thought flipping Jugo over his shoulder through a table. "You alright buddy?". Kisame asked Samehada who growled as if it ate something rotten. "So you're using some kind of natural energy eh? Samehada's not a fan of that stuff". Kisame said annoyed to Jugo who got up only to get batted across the lab. "Doesn't matter though he may not want your chakra be he's still a good sword". Kisame said with a grin Jugo jumped back up even angrier he turned to a couple terrified doctors grabbed them by the heads, he throw them at Kisame who cut them away. "That's not nice". Kisame commented dodging Jugo's charge stabbing him in the back impaling him. "Well I'll admit you were fun kid". Kisame said pulling Samehada out of Jugo. "But I have a moron to save bye". Kisame said walking out.
(I think Samahada works like Pain's Preta path. Can eat any kind of chakra but not nature energy which Jugo is basically always absorbing)
"AAAAAHHHHHH". Kisame heard getting tackled by Jugo back in to the hallway Jugo punched Kisame in the face choking him. Getting a punch to the throat from Kisame in return, who then kicked him away. Kisame sat up coughing then grinned at Jugo he went to reach for Samehada only to realize it was behind Jugo. "I guess I got to do this the old fashion way". Kisame said getting up and cracking his knuckles. Only for Jugo's right arm to mutate in to an ax and his left into a spar. "Well that's not fair". Kisame commented as Jugo charge swinging his right wildly then stabbing with his left. Kisame grabbed the spar and downward ax hand head-butting Jugo then elbowing him in the jaw.
Two more arms burst out from Jugo's back grabbing Kisame's shoulders as Jugo pushed him back. The further Kisame was pushed back the more Jugo mutated. As they moved back Kisame allowed himself to fall back with his foot on Jugo's gut. When Kisame's back hit the ground he launched Jugo over him back in to his cell. Samehada crawled over to him and merged with Kisame now in his shark form stared Jugo down before charging him. Kisame slammed in to Jugo's midsection the wall behind him cracked bringing head up Kisame hit Jugo's chin. Jugo grabbed him and brought the ax down Kisame dodged and broke the grip moving back. "Water style: water bullets". Kisame shouted shooting thin bullets of liquid ripping Jugo's skin only for it to heal. "I got to get him out side this guys he's strong but stupid". Kisame thought running out with Jugo chasing after him. Jugo was growing smashing into the walls following when he got through the door Kisame was waiting with a grin. "Water style: a thousand feeding sharks". Kisame shouted a tsunami of Sharks smashed in the Jugo his now large prevented him from moving out of the hallway. So all he could do is hold his breath as he fought of sharks as they ripped his flesh off.
With Suigetsu and Karin.
Suigetsu grabbed Karin pulling her back as water sharks bust through the stairs trying to bite her. "Thanks". Karin said terrified she was nearly killed Suigetsu grinned. "Stay here". He ordered turning in to water jumping in Karin was annoyed. "He better be going to help the back up". She said to herself figuring she had nothing better to do she opened and started reading the assassins notes on Naruto. In the water a flouting Kubikiribocerrho was moving through the hallway moving past sharks behind Jugo. Suigetsu grinned like a torpedo Kubikiribocerrho moved a lightening speeds down the hall in to the back of Jugo. Jugo gasped angrily releasing the air in his lungs now drowning his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he shrank as sharks continued bitting him. When the jutsu stopped what was left of Jugo dropped to the ground after the water poured out.
Outside.
Karin walked down hopping over the half eaten body and out the door. She found Suigetsu and Kisame grinning at each other gripping their swords. "Are you two seriously going to fight right now?". Karin asked annoyed getting their attention they looked back at each other. "Look Karin you're out we're square so mind your business". Suigetsu retorted angering her. "Remember who got you that sword Suigetsu I can take it away". Karin threatened Kisame grinned Suigetsu glared she looked at Kisame. "There was a girl named Isaribi did you see her?". Karin asked worried Kisame nodded.
"Got her out before coming for this moron". Suigetsu actually grinned at Kisame instead of glare. "Look at you being all heroic now then shall we?". Kisame grinned ready to fight. "Wait Kisame-Kun you should rest". Isaribi said coming out of the water in her human form. Karin couldn't completely cure Isaribi seeing as Orochimaru was around but managed to give her a complete human form. "I say let the kids play my moneys on Kisame". They turned and saw the assassin sitting on a rock Karin glared. "You said you'd help". Karin yelled angrily. "I said follow the trail of bodies not my fault you decided to make your own instead". He retorted with a grin. "You're that guy Inari hired Foxtrot right? Do I actually know you? Ya seem familiar for some reasons mask or not". Kisame asked something about this guy made him feel nostalgic for some reason.
"Maybe you do maybe you don't who knows. The job was done that's all that matters. By the way Karin-San you should move". Karin jumped out of the way as Jugo burst through the door his limbs were regenerating. "Take the hint and die already". Kisame said annoyed looking at Suigetsu. "Kill each other later?". Kisame asked Suigetsu nodded as the two swordsmen changed. Samehada and Kubikiribocerrho were brought down on Jugo who blocked it with a blade arm. "So think they'll win?". The assassin asked nonchalantly Karin was worried standing next to Isaribi as they watched.
The fight.
Kisame and Suigetsu were pushed back Jugo grew in the an 8 foot tall scaled beast with six arms each hand turned in to a weapon. The two swordsmen smiled ready to murder this thing. "You get the legs I got the head". Suigetsu ordered Kisame grinned. "Race you". Kisame retorted the two ran towards Jugo Kisame did a jumping downwards slash. Suigetsu went with a vertical one ready to take his head off. Four razor like arms shoot up forcing Kisame to block and slashed Suigetsu who changed in to water just in time. "I'LL KILL YOU ALL I'LL RIP YOU ALL APART WITH MY BARE HANDS". Jugo shouted in a rage scaring Karin and Isarbi the assassin wasn't bothered. Jugo looked at the assassin. "YOU". He shouted angrily the assassin glasses still on glared hard making Jugo Kisame and Suigetsu flinch, at the unseen danger behind then shadow black sunglasses. "Try it Jugo". The assassin dared Jugo focused on the other two instead. The assassin grinned.
"Is there anyway to stop that monster?". Isarbi asked Karin was shaking. "The only one who was able to calm him down was Kimimaro. Jugo murders everyone else he comes across. He joined Orochimaru specifically to help him with that". Karin informed getting the assassins attention. "Really? His scared of me but no one else could calm him?". He asked Karin was angry. "Before he died Kimimaro told Jugo the only ones he needed to be loyal to was Orochimaru and Sasuke". The assassin nodded and continued watching.
Kisame blocked Jugo's onslaught when Jugo forced him to his knees Suigetsu took advantage and chopped Jugo's spare arms off. It freed Kisame who then stabbed Jugo in the stomach Jugo tried to grab Kisame leaving himself open for a slash to the back by Suigetsu. Jugo turned to punch Suigetsu who blocked with Kubikiribocerrho only for it to shatter from the force. "NOO YOU BASTARD". Suigetsu shouted doing an jumping spin kick to Jugo's jaw before kicking off his face to Kisame. "You broke Kubikiribocerrho you fucker I'll rip you to pieces". Suigetsu shouted as angry as Jugo was Kisame rolled his eyes. "Fuck you're stupid you're planning to take your brothers place and you know nothing about the seven swords". Kisame said still focused on Jugo Suigetsu glared at Kisame.
"Kubikiribocerrho is the weakest of the Seven swords it brakes all the time. Zabuza took it because he had the skill to use the blade properly". He continued surprising Suigetsu. "So if it brakes all the time who fixes it?". Suigetsu asked as the jumping over Jugo. "It's called the executioners blade for a reason kid. Besides cutting heads off you need to kill people to keep it strong. It absorbs iron in the blood and fixes itself". Kisame educated Suigetsu now holding what was basically a meat cleaver nodded in thanks. "Ok I know where to get some blood". Suigetsu charged Jugo while Kisame was covering him Kisame shoot more bullets In to Jugo's face blinding him. Suigetsu hopped on Jugo's back bringing the cleaver up and chopped Jugo's back with it. Jugo's thick skin made it difficult to chop the blade got stuck in his spin. "Move". He heard Kisame shout seeing him coming down with Samehada Suigetsu just managed to move, as Kisame hit Kubikiribocerrrho with Samehada driving it in to Jugo.
Jugo coughed up blood holding his chest gagging as Kubikiribocerrrho was fixing itself inside him. The blade pushed itself through Jugo's throat splitting his head in two. Jugo fell to the ground Suigetsu then grabbed the handle stepped on Jugo's back. He lifted the blade up slitting Jugo's back before pulling it out. "Smart". The assassin said with a masked grin before pulling out a green vile. "What's that?". Karin asked as the assassin throw it at the Jugo's twitching body. "Insurance". He said the vile broke green fire then burned Jugo turning him to ash. "Now he's not coming back". The assassin said nonchalantly Karin observed the assassin with everyone else. "You just had that on you and didn't help?". Suigetsu asked angrily the assassin shrugged. "Didn't want to spoil your fun and being a Zabuza wannabe means you can't afford my help regardless". Kisame grinned at that Suigetsu glared angrily.
"Anyway my contract is fulfilled so I think I'll be going now. Open first gate". Raw power emerged from the assassin taking everyone back away a bit as they saw him bolt across the water. "Doesn't he not know how to water walk?". Suigetsu asked everyone shrugged. "Karin thanks for not abandoning me". Isaribi said with a bow Karin gave her a look of sympathy. "It's the least I could do after you told me about my cousin". Karin said Kisame was interested. "Cousin?". He asked Suigetsu nodded. "She's related to that Uzumaki guy you were after for a while". He informed surprising Kisame. "Really now maybe Nagato and her would get along". Kisame thought to himself then shrugged. "Anyway you're free know so if we're not fighting I'm going back to Kiri". Kisame informed walking off Suigetsu was fallowing him. "Might as well join you I can learn a thing or two before we fight". Suigetsu said Kisame grinned Karin and Isaribi followed. "Remember our deal Suigetsu?". Karin asked Suigetsu was annoyed. "Dammit fine can we stop by Wave?". He asked Kisame shrugged as they turned and headed to Wave.
Wave.
Karin Kisame Suigetsu and Isaribi were walking down the road Kiri shinobi bowed to Kisame making him grin. "When did you become popular?". Suigetsu asked Kisame smiled. "I was originally coming to get you then I thought you're to much of a brat. So I went to Kiri first won the war remembered you were still caught now we're here". Suigetsu glared angrily at the grinning Kisame. "Also I heard Kubikiribocerrrho was stolen from Zabuza's grave. I'm guessing your buddy in black was the one who took it?". Karin nodded. "I hired him sorry but I needed Suigetsu on my side". She admitted Kisame nodded. "I've never heard anyone needing Suigetsu before except for needing someone to punch. Even then there's between quality things". Suigetsu glared Karin grinned. "Anyway he left a map to your base". Kisame informed surprising the two. "Guess he wanted to get you out and I was taking to long". Everyone was thinking about the man in black. "Isaribi-Chan is that you?". They turned and saw Ayame walking towards them.
"Hey kid what's up?". Kisame asked getting smacked by Ayame. Suigetsu snickered as Kisame held his cheek with a grin. "Still mad at me uh?". Kisame asked Ayame glared. "You're damn right I am. You tried to kill my little brother". Ayame said glaring Kisame shrugged. "Only a hand full of times and I said I was sorry". Ayame glared more. "No you didn't". She countered Kisame again shrugged. "Well I'm sorry then". He said sarcastically Ayame continued glaring. "I don't believe you". Kisame grinned. "Believe it or not doesn't matter to me. I did avenge him…kind of…unintentionally sure, but it's the thought that counts. You're welcome by the way". He retorted Ayame was angry till Isaribi hugged her. "Ayame that's enough Kisame-Kun saved my life". Isarbi informed surprising her she still glared at Kisame then sighed. "We opened up a new stand come on we'll get something to eat". She ordered everyone nodded following.
The new Ichiraku Ramen.
Teuchi was cooking when he heard some one at the door. "Welcome". He said turning only to notice Kisame and company. With a glare to Kisame's grin he watched them sit. "Teuchi-San it's been awhile". Isarbi said getting his attention he smiled at her. "Hey kid did you finally decide to leave Konoha?". He asked she frowned. "I left a week after Iruka and you guys did". She informed surprising the two ramen chefs. While they listened to Isarbi's story Karin was reading the notes. The Ichiraku's were described as good caring people in Naruto's life so she was respectful to them. Ayame noticed the book and was suspicious of the names she saw. "What are you reading?". Ayame asked surprising her Karin was about to explain when Ayame swiped the book and started reading. Karin was worried at her look. "Who are you". Ayame asked dangerously Karin looked down sadly. "Uzumaki Karin I'm Naruto's cousin". This shocked the ramen chef's more so when Isarbi nodded in her defence.
"I was an Oto shinobi before that I was from Kusagakure. Orochimaru convinced me to join when he found me being attacked". At Orochimaru's name Ayame and Teuchi didn't buy it. "I know you don't believe me but I had a friend dig up information on the people in Naruto's life. It's all I have to get to know the last member of my family". Karin said sadly and honestly Ayame speed read the book. The information outside of Naruto's killers wasn't that personal the information on her and her father made her tear up. It was as If her dead little brother wrote it himself. "Who was this friend of yours?". Ayame asked Karin shrugged. "He never gave me his name but he's good I believe Kabuto called him Foxtrot once. Orochimaru said he's a true demon even he was scared. To prove his worth he annihilated hundreds of Orochimaru's experiments using Taijutsu alone. That includes Jugo Orochimaru had to pay a fortune to keep Foxtrot from killing him". Karin explained sending shivers down everyone's spines.
"He was the only freelancer Orochimaru did business with as well. I've seen him fight in my tank if he knows any jutsu he doesn't care enough to use them". Suigetsu explained shivering Kisame wanted to fight this guy now. "Why were you being attacked?". Teuchi asked changing the subject Karin removed her top she was wearing a sports bra. Her body was covered in bite marks as she frowned. "Nothing on me was left sacred either". She explained Teuchi was holding a knife they saw murder in his closed eyes. When he opened them everyone in the stand except Ayame froze even Kisame. "My families ability is to heal any wound when bitten in to. My mother died in the worst way saving a hospital of those bastards. I was close to dying myself when I was only ten years old. Like a drug anything from a little tummy ack to legitimate illness those bastards would bite us to heal". Karin explained angrily.
"When I finally tried to escape it was because I was old enough to breed with my civic duty they called it". Suigetsu actually gave her a sympathetic look Kisame continued eating unbothered. "So where are you going to go Kid?". Kisame asked Karin shrugged. "The notes mentioned he was close with Kazekage Gaara. So I think I'll join Suna if they'll take me". Kisame nodded. "He's supposed to go to Konoha to pay respects to the brat. The boss lady is heading there to seeing as Konoha wants an alliance with Kiri to so mite as well join us". Kisame informed surprising everyone.
"Kusagakure is supposed to be there to Konoha is trying to grab everyone before Iwa dose. The land of rocks joined Suna and Ami is off limits to everyone. Taki is already allies with Konoha and Suna being neighbours they're trying to box Iwa in as much as possible. So if Kusagakure wants you back be carful they may sacrifice you in exchange for an alliance". Kisame warned Karin was angry but sighed in acceptance. "Wait so where does that leave Kiri?". Suigetsu asked Kisame grinned. "We got the navy and live near Wave so we protect this place and protect their ships heading to noodle bay then Suna's fastest desert runners get it to Suna from there". He explained and smiled fondly thinking of some of the old Akasuki days.
"Iwa were Akasuki's best customers back in the day. So them hiring Pirates or land and sea faring mercenaries to attack our biggest supplier isn't unexpected". Kisame explained everyone nodded Suigetsu grinned. "You're not staying here are you?". He asked Kisame grinned. "Kiri still needs to recuperate after the civil war. We took the security job at Gaara's request as a show of trust in us, but you're right I'm taking my little band of psychos with Yagura's hunters to Iwa to kill them properly. I never liked staying out of the fun". Kisame informed smiling maliciously scaring everyone but Suigetsu and Teuchi. "Still Inari likes taking the initiative besides being a student of mine. He's looking to the ruins of Tanigakure next store to Wave in the land of rivers. The place turned in to a bandit camp awhile back. So the people begged he for an olive branch. Inari is planning to expand operations and use it a trade route to supply Suna from both sides and other places while avoiding Konoha". Kisame said with a chuckle. "The Diemyo there is a useless pussy so plenty of his people want Wave to take over". This surprised everyone to Kisame's pride.
"But if it's a bandit camp how is Inari-Kun going to use it?". Ayame asked worried Kisame grinned. "That buddy of hers Foxtrot helped Inari already. Some of those bandits killed Inari's merchants so the kid hired Foxtrot to preform reconnaissance on the place. Then bought some counterfeit cash and disguised explosive tags made to look like genuine money, not even I could tell the difference and I used to roll with Kakuzu. He had a few of his boys escort him to Rivers and hand it over as false tribute". Everyone was shocked to hear this as Kisame grinned. "Blew up the entire base then Inari and just two of his militia members killed everyone. He left no survivors". He took a drink as the Ichiraku's looked at him angrily. "Saved a pile of women and children to. When they left he cut the nose and eyes out of the leader then slit his throat as a warning". Suigetsu grinned impressed. Ayame couldn't believe Inari was that ruthless.
"Why do it himself when he has an empire and Foxtrot to do it for him?". He asked Kisame grinned. "Iwa tried to extort him Foxtrot said the bandits were hired to fuck with his business. He also had a traitor so Inari wanted to send a message". Kisame explained with a chuckle. "Sent Oonki the leaders head had Foxtrot brake in to the Tschikage's office and leave it at his desk. Just to prove he can get him to". The ramen chefs were horrified as Kisame remembered the real story.
Flashback Inari's office.
Kisame was annoyed Inari didn't show up for training today. The kid was good and was the leader to Wave at only 13 with his grandfather's blessing. He was intelligent charismatic and vary loyal to his people. Still when Kisame Hoshigaki takes you on as a student, you show up rich and powerful or not. He doesn't accept excuses. Entering Inari's office unceremoniously he saw his 15 year old missing student drinking Saki. Inari vary rarely drank on duty it showed he was stressed. He was wearing an ocean blue suit with white shirt and yellow tie. The Uzumaki swirl on his lapel marking him as the head of the Naruto initiative his pride and joy. Since starting the charity Inari as built orphanages all around the continent. Even being allowed entry in to Amigakure though he didn't meet Nagato. He also obviously didn't know it was the old Akasuki headquarters, but impress Konan enough with his respectful attitude and caring nature.
He even swallowed his pride and went to inspect the Konoha one. Though he made it a point to bring an entourage of Suna and Kiri Shinobi as bodyguards. Giving Kisame free reign to do what ever he wanted. Knowing full well Konoha didn't want to piss him off. Temari and Konkaro found that entertaining at least. Especially since everyone Konoha needed to be patted down before approaching Inari. Tsunade included only exceptions being Konohamaru Moegi an Udon. Just to prove a point he ordered Kisame to strip and cavity search Naruto's killers if they came anywhere near him, with Samahada. They all stayed at home that day. Inari took a sip of his drink then noticed his annoyed mentor. "Sensai". Inari greeted nonchalantly. "Where do you get off keeping me waiting?". Kisame asked getting straight to the point Inari raised an eyebrow.
"I run a multi million Ryo a year village that supplies and employs yours. It's also Thursday one of only two days I'm not training". Inari pointed out Kisame smacked his forehead Monday Tuesday Wednesday Saturday and Sunday were Inari's training days. Thursday and Friday is Inari's run Wave days. Somehow with all the work it takes to run a village Inari only takes two days to complete and organize everything. Something that greatly annoyed his grandpa even if he was proud of it. "Dammit I have to stop drinking with Tezuna. I always forget what day it is afterwards". Kisame said annoyed then shrugged uncaring Inari nodded in agreement.
Kisame then noticed two men in black wearing masks hoods and sunglasses standing there. Kisame went for his sword when Inari lazily stopped him with a wave."It's ok they work for me for today anyway. Kisame this is Fixer and Foxtrot. Gentlemen Hoshigaki Kisame my Sensai and bodyguard when the dumbass is sober anyway". Inari introduced Kisame was annoyed by that. The two silently nodded a hello Kisame then raised an eyebrow. "What are they for?". Kisame asked confused Inari sighed looking at the two who shrugged uncaring. "They're going to escort me to the Land of Rivers, to solve an issue I have in Tanigakure". Inari explained Kisame was confused. "What are you ghost hunters or something? Because that's all you'll find there. Tani was wiped out almost forty years ago". Kisame asked/informed the two men were quite. "Did you bring everything?". Inari asked ignoring him Fixer nodded putting a briefcase on the table opening it. The contents had to be a million in cash Kisame whistled at it. "Tani have a stip club or something now?". Kisame asked with a grin the two grinned in amusement under their masks.
Inari was kind of annoyed. "The Tani ruins were turned in to a bandit camp. They attacked my caravans entering Rivers to trade with the villages there. They killed everyone and stole everything". Inari said angrily Kisame never saw him this pissed and Inari was an angry person now a days. "I'm giving the bandits this". Inari Informed Kisame was visibly pissed. "They attacked your guys while you have two of the big five ready to kill for you and I'm fucking here. Instead you're paying them off? I disown you as a student you pussy". Kisame said annoyed Inari glared Fixer and Foxtrot chuckled. "It's not money you fucking blue moron it's explosive tags painted to look genuine. Do you honestly take me for someone who'd let an attack on my people fucking stand?". Inari shouted angrily Kisame ignored him and checked the briefcase it was unbelievably authentic looking for counterfeit. Serial numbers were all different even has different country crests on them, seeing as Wave is an International trading area. It even felt like actual cash. "I should get some of these for myself. Send Them to old man Kakuzu". Kisame mused with a grin.
"These guys are escorting me to Tani. Gaara needs his all of his Shinobi to keep his borders defended. Mei gets overly worried and way to protective. Every Kiri shinobi here is either guarding the village or training volunteers, for the Wave militia with Lady Kazahana's Samurai, and you get to exited having you around will make them paranoid. I can't have that on this". Inari said coldly Kisame was a little offended. "Kiri and Suna are in your pocket. I'm the leader of the seven swordsmen for fuck sakes and these guys are just freelancers". Kisame informed angrily Inari simply nodded. "Freelancers who came highly recommended by someone I trust completely. They're trained to be fiercely loyal to their client which is me, as long as I don't fuck them over which I won't. They don't ask questions they won't try to appeal to my humanity or will try to stop me. Only guard or kill for me if I so order it". Inari explained coldly the two nodded. "So you're going to join in?". Kisame asked a little surprised Inari nodded.
"I trained under you for a reason I could hide behind you Kiri and Suna forever, but what message would that send. It would say I'm a pussy like Gato was it would say that I don't fight my own battles". Inari started. "Gaara and Mei won't be Kage's forever Kisame. I'm not going to be looked at as someone that can be pushed around by anyone even Kage I won't letting that happen". Inari stated angrily. "So I'm sending a message that everyone can understand. Don't fuck with me or my people. I grew up with some of those caravaners and I'll see to it that their avenged". Inari stated angrily. Kisame grinned at his student who then sighed.
"Besides it helps Suna with the war effort if we supply them from two sides. Turning Rivers in to a pipeline. According to these two those bandits may be working for Iwa against me personally, to stop that from happening and to under mind either me as a leader or you guys as protectors". Kisame nodded in understanding. "That senile old prick Oonki has been trying to get me to join his side for months. Even when I was doing work for the initiative. It went from playing nice to basically threatening me. I told the little fucker I could make arrangements with Kumo and bring them in against Iwa to. Shut that three foot bastard up right quick". Inari said angrily Kisame chuckled. "You don't have any business in Kumo it was just a charity job". Inari nodded.
"Why do you think I have Samurai's escort me to Shinobi villages? They don't care about Jutsu's or ninja tactics they're upfront and don't sneak around". Inari started sipping his drink. "But when you have Shinobi everyone gets paranoid. Oonki thought Mifune and Kyoki-Chan's men weren't up to the task of protecting the weak little rich kid. They can fight but not the entirety of Iwa. Oonki would hold me hostage till I played ball or they got a ransom so I bluffed. Looked him dead in the eye and said anything happeneds to me Kumo joins. Good thing I had a picture of me with the Raikage Yagito-Chan and Killer B looking all buddy-buddy, and it worked. Got us all out alive he must of figured it out by now". Kisame laughed the assassins grinned. "Before you ask it was a caravan with no Shinobi guards not even Samurai. Seeing as it's just next store the caravan leader said he didn't see the point, the fucking idiot was taking bribe's. Then got himself captured by the bandits now he's going to pay for it". Inari explained Kisame was a little surprised Inari loved his people. It would be a hell of a message not just to other nations but his own as well.
"The people of Rivers also asked me to help them, seeing as their Diemyo is useless. Dumb ass doesn't want to play ball with my expansion plan or help his own people. They want work safety and a leader who provides. Essentially they want me". Inari stated Kisame was a little more surprised now the kid was good sure, still sounds like he's planning a conquest not simple revenge. "Besides the Diemyo was making a fortune off of Gato shipping. So I don't care about his feelings on me expanding in to his territory". Inari explained Kisame nodded thinking. "It's also a good place for you to avoid fire country give or take a mile to cross in on land". Kisame thought out loud Inari nodded. "I deal with this personally then I basically just took over already. I'll undermine the Diemyo and can expand in to rivers, with little protest even from him". Inari explained Kisame nodded again thinking. "So you're going to blow the place sky high by having a bandit walk it inside". Kisame stated Inari nodded. "Everything in this case is counterfeit theirs only about a hundred tags. I want to slay these fucks not blow up a nation…yet anyway". Kisame nodded and chuckled in understanding.
"I had these two scope the place out while they prepared these tags. They know everything about the hideout. They'll act as merchants with me. I act like I'm scared and simply want our people left alone. Then we kill everyone in the base no survivors". Inari explained coldly Kisame grinned. "Really and you really don't want me to tag along?". Inari sighed. "Like I said it needs to be done using Wavers no Kiri or Suna as a show of our own strength. These gentleman don't have a village they are completely unknown. No names nations or anything else. You need serious connections to call them something even most Kage's don't have. These guys specialize in Taijutsu like most in the militia so it will look legit. What everyone else doesn't know won't hurt them". Inari explained it was sneaky underhanded deceitful evil and destructive Kisame was so proud. "So the only one everyone is going to see is you while you kill and butcher bandits and a traitor". Kisame stated Inari nodded. "Exactly this doesn't leave this room Kisame". Inari ordered Kisame shrugged uncaring.
"You don't want someone to blackmail you fine I fully understand. I demand to at least go with you and find a spot to watch. Maybe find something you'll need to improve on and a something to eat or I'm telling everyone". Kisame ordered Inari knew Kisame wouldn't but he was still annoying. "As long as you stay out of our way we do care. Get some rice balls and Saki and have a picnic. Just stay out of his and our way". Foxtrot ordered before Inari could look at them again Kisame nodded. "Now then sir normally we don't allow clients to join us but you payed top dollar. This is going to be your first time on a killing field. Your first time taking a life so if you hesitate to many times we pull you out and finish. The second ones is normally the worst kill if you freeze we pull you out and finish. Are we understood?". Fixer asked Inari downed his drink and nodded in understanding. "I don't plan to hesitate but you're the professionals….I'm ready". The two nodded Inari got up and summoned a shadow clone and walked out Kisame grinned.
They left Inari's office Inari lead with Kisame at his side the assassins followed. "That clone looked solid". Kisame commented Inari grinned. "That's because It is". Inari said surprising Kisame. "How did the kid teach you or something?". Kisame asked Inari shook his head and pointed at the assassins behind him with his thumb. "We're not just assassins we double as information brokers and thieves. Anything you want we can get for the right price". Fixer informed his partner nodded Kisame grinned. "Really now got anything I'd be interested in? I could just beat up the runt for the shadow clones so I do need those". Kisame asked grinning at the glaring Inari.
"Not while we're here Kisame-San, but yes we have an extensive catalogue of rare Jutsu's as well as other sought after items. Here's our latest catches with princes. Non-negotiable of course". Foxtrot said handing Kisame a list he took looking it over and his eyes widened in absolute shock. "You're fucking kidding me?". Kisame exclaimed the two shrugged nonchalantly. "We're vary good at our jobs. We have a water scroll Inari-San bought just for you. Take it and judge its merit for yourself". Fixer said passing him a scroll Kisame looked at it then at Inari who shrugged. "You're an absolute pain in my ass. You're annoying you drink most of the time and you're a bit of a bastard to me, for someone I employee and let live In in my mansion rent free. You also hunted the hero of wave and I'm still pissed about it. Doesn't mean I don't like you read it when we get there happy birthday Sensai". Kisame looked at the seal on the scroll stunned, then grinned at Inari.
"I love you to Inari-Kun". The two assassins chuckled Inari sighed annoyed. "If this is legit then I'll take the water wind and fire scrolls. If not you two aren't leaving that camp". Kisame threatened the two grinned in amusement. "Of course Kisame-San which jutsu?". Fixer asked Kisame grinned. "I still have plenty of cash from my Akasuki days. So when I mean I'll take them I mean everything. The runt pays me plenty so I won't be starving". Kisame informed the two looked at each other. "You're looking at about eight-hundred-million. So allow us to inform you if it's not all there or if you try anything remotely suspicious, Inari-San well need a new body guard". Foxtrot warned Kisame grinned. "Oh I like you guys just be sure to bring my meal ticket home. I'll have the money waiting when you bring the product". Kisame ordered they nodded in understanding.
"Still if they really are Kage level Jutsu's where's the real good stuff?". Kisame asked the two grinned. "In a private auction for serious high priority buyers. If you really are willing to spend that much money in one go, we can get you access. The individual running everything is keeping the real good stuff for the black label auction only happens every few years". Fixer informed Foxtrot nodded. "Be warned though no one but those on the list can enter. The auction moves around so don't bother giving the location out. No questions no giving the names of other buyers out. You we'll take the bids seriously and will be watched at all times. You will receive a list of Items that you must put a serious bid on before you're taking seriously enough to get the location. The entrance fee is normally a million up front. It's the cheapest thing about the set up". Foxtrot informed Kisame shrugged. He may already know who's running it.
"I'm always on my best behaviour asked Inari". Kisame said nonchalantly Inari sighed. "Remember aim the head he doesn't use it much anyway". Inari informed Kisame glared the two grinned. "I'm going to have to tell the boss lady about this. I'm also going to have to make sure our security is tighter to. If it's legit these guys are vary good. To fucking good even". Kisame thought to himself as the left the mayors office building. "Inari's also on a list of our clients we don't betray our clients especially ones who pay on time". Foxtrot assured as if reading his mind Kisame shrugged with an uncaring guise. He'll still triple security in Wave and Kiri incase they weren't men of their word.
Land of Rivers.
Kisame was on a hill reading his scroll to his surprise everything was legit. He wrapped the scroll putting it in his pocket and pulled out a rice ball. Taking a bite he pulled out binoculars to watch the show. Inari and the assassins now dressed as merchants with hoods walked over. They bowed to the guard and presented the money. They bandit looked it over taking it he then punched Fixer in the face. Fixer played his part fell back begging and cowering. When Foxtrot went to help he got one to the stomach and fell meekly on the ground. Kisame grinned. "They better be acting after all that talk the pussys". They thought with amusement. Kisame assumed the guard ordered him to leave because Inari and his men ran off like cowards.
Kisame followed the thug who entered a the largest building. It was three stories high he found the leaders office he was talking to someone. The man in question was wearing a suit and shaggy brown hair and small dark coloured eyes. "Akane you fucker". Kisame said annoyed. "First ya bullied the brat as kids now you're betraying him. Is this because you have a girls name you little bitch?". Kisame asked he noticed Akane didn't look happy matter of fact he looked ashamed. When the guard walked in the leader looked at the money and tossed in the air in celebration. Kisame grinned waiting gleefully for the show. Nothing Kisame was confused he looked around and found the assassins with Inari. Foxtrot was watching through a telescope while Inari was talking with Fixer. Inari was now in his battle outfit one. He was now wearing black ANBU gear with a ocean blue vest. It's what the wave militia will be wearing. A katana in an ocean blue sheath with a white and blue grip. A gift from Mifune from Iron it was Inari's favourite sword.
The two assassins wore almost the same thing with ocean blue heavy hooded jackets with masks and dark sunglasses. Looking the part of wave warriors like they were payed to look like. "The fuck you wait for blow them up already". Kisame ordered looking back to the office. Akane got a few bucks from the case and walked out. When he left the building he sighed and went to a makeshift bar Kisame assumed at least. The leader stood up stretched and left his office. "The fuck is taking so long?". Kisame was starting to think the money was real. Not noticing Inari and the other to were ready now. Foxtrot looked at Fixer and nodded. Inari noticed a ring on the assassins middle finger was now glowing.
The leaders office all of a sudden exploded destroying the third floor taking the second with it. The bar Akane walked in to joined it Kisame watched with a grin as bandits went flying all around the encampment. The debris from the thrid flew everywhere crushing bandits and clamped on the second. Inari lead the charge the assassins following close. Inari got first blood ramming his sword in to the chest of a bandit. Inari pulled the sword and gave him a downward slash killing him. He looked at the bad then at the bandits the next swung his sword Inari docked and slashed his stomach blood flew in to Inari's face. The assassins were on guard now it was either pull him out or join. The bandit he'd his stomach screaming Inari and the others watched him slowly die Kisame frowned. "Ya got your second and one of the worst kind of seconds at that. What will you do now kid?". Kisame thought Inari raised his sword and charged, the assassins followed.
The assassins killed with a great deal of skill but Kisame focused on Inari. Inari parried three attackers. Then preformed an upward slash killing the first a downward to kill the second and side slash taking the head of the third. A Kunai it the head of a bandit coming in for a back stab courtesy of Foxtrot. Inari continued not noticing Kisame grinned. "So he needs to remember to watch his back". Kisame informed himself he saw Inari's eyes they were cold. He knew what he was doing knew he was killing and didn't care. Kisame doubted he'd brake down or feel bad later but he supposed as his Sensai, he'd need to give him a take later. 12 bandits charge at Inari who made hand sighs. "Water Style: Demon Wave Jutsu". Inari spat out water that took the shape of a wave with a Hannya head terrifying his attacker. It opened its mouth catching the attackers and bit down. He turned red as it smashed it to a wall killing itself pray. Kisame grinned.
"Cool little Jutsu kid". He commented with a chuckle the survivors ran terrified as Foxtrot and Fixer threw Kunai stabbing them in the back of their heads. They looked at each other and went to work stabbing the injured and and double tapping the dead. "Fuck they take their orders seriously". Kisame said with a bit of a frown Inari said no survivors so they'll make sure. Kisame compared them to the bloodline purgers from the war but more skilled, he'd have to figure out a way to ask Yagura with out betraying Inari. When they were done Inari nodded so the assassins went in to the building.
To Kisame's surprise they dragged out the leader now dressed as an Iwa Shinobi and dropped him in front of Inari. "Did they plan all this out? Clever fuckers". Kisame said in surprise these guys were to good. Inari sheathed his sword and pointed scoldingly at the terrified leader. Inari grabbed him and punched him hard. Kisame watch Inari broke his nose shot him one to the jaw and gave him a black in. He pointed to the building and the to nodded re-entering confusing Kisame as Inari continued beating the leader. Inari knocked the leader out breath heavily. He sat on the downed leader's back to catch his breath making Kisame chuckle. The assassins came out of the smoking building with a group of women and children. Kisame grinned. "Knew you were still soft kid". Kisame commented as he took a drink as Inari stood up. Inari was probably giving a speech or something to the tearful captives. Kisame grinned thinking about something funny.
"Hi I'm Inari I'm 15 years old and like playing dress up". Kisame said dubbing over Inari, sounding childish chuckling as the prisoners looked at each other. "I also like long walks on the beach lipstick and brushing other mens hair. Who's with me?". He was having to much fun especially when the assassins nodded. Inari raised his arms spreading them apart. Probably for the end part to hook these people, with a big hearted promise of protection and help. "I also caught a fish this big on the way here I swear. You can't see it but I did". He was nearly laughing when everyone looked at Inari in astonishment. "Anyway my much more skilled and handsome Sensai is getting tired of waiting for me. So I got to go bye bye". He's said as Inari pointed to their villages for them to leave as a young woman ran up and hugged Inari crying.
"Eeewww a girl oh well". He dubbed as Inari flinched when she grabbed him then hugged her back. Kisame realized he may have drank to much while watching the massacre. He was giggling to much pretending to voice Inari. Samahada even with out actually having eyes still managed to look at Kisame strangely. "Oh come on I need some form of entertainment. I don't like staying out of a fight anymore then you do". Kisame said his weapons growled in amusement and relaxed. When the prisoners said their thanks and left after a couple of them kissed Inari on the cheek, more then likely making him blush seeing as all Kisame saw was his back. That's when things got dark Fixer handed Inari a knife as Foxtrot kick the Iwa ninja waking him up, the held him up with Fixer.
Inari grabbed the terrified Iwa Shinobi and cut his nose and eyes out Kisame was shocked. Foxtrot put a hand over the leaders mouth to silence his screams. Probably so the people couldn't him and be scared. Inari then slit his throat and they walked off. "Looks like he's done eh buddy?". Kisame asked Samahada who growled. Kisame put Samahada on his back and went down to meet them. "You did good for your first time Inari-San". Foxtrot said Inari nodded in thanks seemingly in thanks, handing them a scroll. Kisame just made it down the hill to listen in. "You guys were worth every cent so here's your payment and some bonus hush money". Inari informed the two nodded. "The hush money isn't necessary sir. We'd be bad at our jobs if we gave out client information". Fixer assured Inari shrugged. "Then keep it as a bonus for all your hard work. I honestly don't know if I'll be calling you two again for something like this again anyway. Please give our mutual friend my thanks". The two nodded in thanks and understanding. Inari the removed an envelope.
"50 grand if you can deliver the fuckers head to Oonki. With a message to stay out of my territory and way from my people, and Who's interested in the other job?". Inari asked Kisame was wide eyed Foxtrot stepped forward. "I am sir for both". Inari nodded tossing him the envelope. "Excellent how are you with accidents?". Inari asked the assassin shrugged. "I can make it look like the Uchiha did it if you want sir". Inari grinned at that. "Tempting but no thank you. Give it some time for the word to spread then I'll call you". Inari ordered the two nodded and walked off. Inari sighed and walked off back to Wave forgetting Kisame was there. Kisame sighed and followed. "You ok kid?". Kisame asked more for small talk Inari wanted to brush him off by sighed. "I saved some lives blow up some bandit. Possibly scared Oonki and just completed step one". Inari said walking tall Kisame raised an eyebrow. "Step one?". He asked Inari nodded. "Like in my office nothing leaves this forest ok?". Kisame shrugged and nodded.
"I'm giving the people here a month to spread the word on what happened here". He started his eyes got cold. "It will turn the people against the Diemyo. So he won't be able to stop my expansion in to Rivers. I'll be able to provide employment to the people and open new trained routs". Kisame was wondering why Inari had his look. "Sounds nice and all but how is your buddy going to help?". He asked Inari glared angrily at the walk ahead of him. "I know the fucker won't stand for it for long. His samurai only guard him. The taxes pay for stupid shit only he wants. He made a fortune with Gato and I'm not a pimp or a drug dealer, so I have nothing to bribe him with. He'll also use his station to cause me problems especially after I made him look so weak a minute ago". Inari took a deep breath to calm down.
"Like I said earlier the people of River's want a new leader. When I start expanding the Diemyo is also going to have on unfortunate accident. To bad to he never married either so no heirs to take over". Inari said Kisame was shocked. "You're planning to assassinate a Diemyo?". Kisame whispered looking everywhere paranoid now Inari shrugged. "I said he'd have an accident don't know what you're talking about". Inari returned Kisame couldn't help but chuckle. "I wonder what the kid would say?". He said out loud Inari glared. "I'm not Naruto I'm not trying to be and he has nothing to do with this". Inari said angrily Kisame waved him off in understanding. "Ok Ok you made your point but how are you doing. I was impressed but still you going to be alright". He asked casually he wasn't worried but needed to ask. Inari said thinking about what he just did.
"I kill a lot of people today including one of my own". Inari started Kisame nodded. "He had it coming". Kisame assured Inari agreed. "Still blowing up someone I knew since I was eight was a bit much". Inari said Kisame grinned. "At least it was quick I wouldn't have been that nice, but I'm a lunatic you're not". He assured Inari looked down. "I know I'm going to sleep good tonight that's what worries me. I don't feel anything no pride in doing the right thing. No shame for killing another human being. I'm not even shaking like at all. My adrenaline has worn off and I'm thinking about it and I already don't care. Shouldn't your first kill let alone first massacre be I don't know haunting?". Inari asked Kisame frowned. "I hired you to train me and sure I've wanted to kill since I was a boy, but that was when Gato was around. Still though actually doing it and not feeling anything doesn't make me feel human". Inari said feeling tired all of a sudden Kisame sighed.
"Give it time my first kills happened in the academy when I was maybe 7 I'm 36 now. I got over it still my cypher division team occasionally gets me when I'm looking. Miru was the worst of them she actually tried to get to know me. Even gave me a genuine smile with genuine concern". Kisame explained Inari looked at him. "Killed all of them because I was ordered to if we were going to be captured. So I did I was also trained to take myself out afterwards. Decided to run instead". Kisame said feeling tired himself all of a sudden. "It's why I killed Fuguki Samahada's original owner and went missing to begin with. Didn't give it any mind for years till Itachi and I saw the kid die. Saw everyone's broken looks and it brought everything back". Kisame pulled out a saki bottle drinking some and handing it to Inari.
"I know as your mentor I should have some advice or some shit to make it all better, but I don't. Just have a distraction Akasuki was it then training you. Most likely when you get home with some time to yourself you'll feel it". Kisame advised Inari sighed. "Are you sure?". He asked Kisame nodded. "I'll be out dealing with some thing's. I'm not a vary huggy person so you'll be on your own". Kisame said Inari nodded in understanding. "Fuck you had to bring him up didn't you?". Inari said he was actually starting to shake about. Kisame chuckled. "See you are human". Inari tried to chuckle as a tear went down his eye. "When I took over I swore I'd make him proud. I don't know what he was thinking when it happened, but I hoped I'd at least continue his lessons and inspire people the right way like he did. Now I killed a bunch of guys and have a plan to kill another. I can only imagine the scolding speech I'd get if he was around". Inari tried to joke he wasn't feeling it. He knew they were bad guys but they were people. He didn't feel bad about killing them just the act of it more tears fell.
Kisame sighed annoyed knowing full well what Naruto was thinking. "You're not Naruto don't try to be stupidly inspiring. You're also not me so don't solve every problem with killing. Find a happy medium you're the leader of Wave. Use that charming personality of yours to solve a problem. Then stab that problem if it doesn't listen". Kisame advice Inari chuckled. "Look kid you save a bunch of women and children today. Those fuckers had it coming Naruto also killed someone to so stop worrying". Inari was surprised Kisame grinned. "Kazahana Doto your favourite Diemyo's uncle. Naruto Rasangoned the guy in to a generator turning snow to spring. He was just thirteen". He grinned at Inari.
"He threatened a nation Naruto took him out. Those asshole's threatened you Wave and Rivers you took them out. Naruto may have been an idealistic chatty little fuck. Doesn't mean he'd hesitate if his people were threatened, so I bet he'd be proud of you". Kisame informed then put a hand on Inari's shoulder. "And if he's not I am and as your Sensai my opinion matters more". Inari wiped his tears and chuckled a bit. "Thanks Kisame-Sensai". Kisame grinned as they continued their walk. "Are you ever going to get that Suigetsu guy?". Inari asked Kisame held his chin. "Oh fuck I completely forgot about him". He said then shrugged. "I'll grab him in a couple of months. He was an irritating little prick you two would get along". Inari chuckled at that and grinned. "Like the fact we know that you're to scared of Orochimaru". Kisame grinned annoyed. "Fine give it a month and I'll deliver his head to you that'll shut you up ya dick". The two shared a laugh as they headed back to Wave.
End of flashback.
Kisame finished his story leaving the part about the assassins and the Diemyo hit out. "You're lying Inari-Kun would never do something like that. Sure he'd fight to save those people, but you're explaining it like it was genocide". Ayame protested angrily Kisame grinned. "Just because he was a buddy of Naruto's ya think he's not capable of it? Kiri is recuperating Suna is guarding its borders. All the kid wanted to do is prove even with two of the big five in his pocket. The Leader of Wave alone is not to be crossed". He said with a ruthless chuckle. "Even the guy in black said he had talent with a blade. His mom and grandpa were annoyed obviously but Inari talked them down. Guess with friends killing friends and surviving through Gato Inari grow up quickly. Fifteen and already conquering nations and exterminating bandits by the hundreds I'm awfully proud". Kisame said with a grin the Ichiraku's still couldn't believe it. "Was Naruto's death really that hard for him". Teuchi asked sadly Kisame shrugged.
"If he survived do you really think he'd be the happy go lucky little gumdrop you remember him as?". Kisame asked with a serious frown the two chiefs looked down sadly. "He told Itachi that much himself". Kisame admitted shocking everyone. "How the hell could he do that?". Suigetsu asked confused as Teuchi and Ayame glared. "You want the dirty details on how it happened. Me and Itachi were there. Saw everything and heard the rest from Itachi". Kisame informed shocking everyone as he sighed. "It was the annual fox haunt that's what I called it anyway. We heard Naruto was leaving to Wave with a posse. I didn't know Itachi was a spy till that night. His sensory ability allowed him to see what happened. I on the other hand saw everything with my working eye". Kisame said with a frown taking a slurp of ramen. "How did it happen?". Karin asked angrily Kisame sighed. "I'll warn you it's not a happy and dignified story". Kisame informed Karin glared harder so Kisame started.
Flashback.
Kisame and Itachi got word from Zetsu that Naruto and his group were heading to Wave. What pissed Kisame off was that Jiraiya was there. Every time he was Itachi never wanted to fight so it be a waste of time. The two were watching Naruto standing over the cliff. When to their complete shock the Konoha shinobi attacked Naruto. "What are they doing?". Kisame whispered as Naruto started screaming holding his stomach getting stabbed in the shoulder and punched through the rock. Itachi was silent to in shock he may be unable to see but he could feel everything. "It's over Kyuubi". Kiba said slicing Naruto with his claw Kisame was confused. "What they don't know their separate beings? Idiots". He thought as Naruto's chest was pierced by Sasuke's sword, Itachi's heart shattered.
"I don't know what's going on here but no one can kill you but me dobe". He heard Sasuke say a tear went down Itachi's eye. "What have I done? I'm such an idiot". Itachi thought sadly. "At least he'll have the Mangekyō. I'm sorry aunt Kushina". He then felt something shocking Itachi more, Naruto slashed upwards taking Sasuke's eye and stabbed Sasuke's shoulder. "No". Itachi whispered Kisame grinned. "Guess his going with company. Good for him". Kisame thought to himself. In the split second before Naruto was about to murder Sasuke and when Hinata was about to stab him. Itachi took the opportunity. "Tsukuyomi". It's thought.
Tsukuyomi world.
Naruto sat there in the red and black world in a complete daze. "Naruto". Itachi said Naruto looked up and saw Itachi then looked back down. "Naruto I'm sorry". Itachi said Naruto was silent mentally broken. "It was always you everything Sasuke did. It was always because of you". Naruto said dead in side Itachi looked down sadly. "I've always been loyal to Konoha Naruto from day one Naruto. I wanted Sasuke to kill me to regain the clan honour. I know you don't believe me but I can help y…". Itachi started then stopped because Naruto started laughing at him it was broken but carried the glee of the best joke in the world.
"You…you hahaha killed your own family hahaha for Konoha hahaha for honour? hahahaha. Sasuke's doing all this for a lie Hahahahahaha now you want to help me after everything you've done? Hahaha I really needed that thanks Itachi". Naruto said continuing to laugh Itachi felt himself dying faster from a broken shameful heart because of Naruto's absolute heartless joy in his admission. "I don't care about your plans Itachi. I'm going to kill this bastard fuck your plan your help and your clan. I'm not going alone". Naruto said angrily Itachi watched Naruto getting up glaring at him. "I can't allow that to happen Naruto. I've worked to hard and for to long for that to happen. You will remain here till their finished with you. I was never going to bring you to Akasuki but if you don't want help then die". Itachi said coldly and heartbroken at the same time. Kushina appeared in his head making him tear up. Naruto angrily started Itachi down Itachi saw the vain in Naruto's hard.
"What are you doing?". Itachi asked the world around them started cracking around them shocking Itachi. "I'm fucking sick of It you bastard. I'm sick of cocksuckers like you like them. Of everyone that keeps trying to brake me. You've been nothing but a monster I don't know what you're after and I don't care". Naruto yelled angrily he was braking Itachi's world with his anger alone tears then fell from Naruto's eyes. The cracking stopped and Naruto fell to his knees. "Haven't I suffered enough? Where does it end?". Naruto asked weakly broken looking at Itachi crying.
"My parents abandon me. I'm the Jinchuuriki for the nine tails. I spent years trying to defend my home when they've done nothing but hurt me. My best friend tries to kill me for power. Now the only thing I have to a family is killing me right now and the only one willing to help is my fucking hunter. A genocidal child killer with dillusions of loyalty. WHERE DOES IT END?". Naruto shouted crying more. Itachi couldn't hold it anymore he's heard about or saw everything Naruto's done in his short life. He saw a Hokage that he would have been proud to serve maybe even the one that could have saved his clan, if he was born just a little earlier. Everything Itachi wanted to be he saw in Naruto now this great man finally was broken right in front him. Someone he helped brake.
"Send me back Itachi please send me back". Naruto begged crying Itachi was confused. "You'll feel everything this is a mercy". Itachi explained Naruto chuckled sadly. "They're useless Itachi I've carried them through thick and thin I don't trust them to do it right. I don't know what they're planning with my left overs, but I'm not giving the the satisfaction". Naruto said completely broken Itachi's eyes widened tears fell from his face. "You want your baby bro to stay alive fine I took one of the eyes everyone loves so much. I don't care anymore. I just want the pain to stop. I'll do what everyone always failed to do. If I live Itachi all I'll be is the monster everyone always wanted. I don't want to be that I just want to be human just please let me go. I make it look legit if it makes you happy but please let me go". Naruto begged and bartered crying the hole time. Itachi walked up and hugged him he broke down. "I'm so sorry Naruto". He said in tears and released the Tsukuyomi.
The real world.
Kisame saw Itachi silently brake down as Hinata stabbed Naruto in the back. Naruto smacked her to the ground. "You bastards". Naruto shouted punching Sasuke who stabbed him. "Should we jump in already we kind of need him? Besides everyone else is doing it don't ya want to be popular?". Kisame asked Itachi was silent he felt Naruto's eyes on him. Felt his sadness his hatred anger of everyone it was everywhere then he heard it. "Oh no Shadow passion Justu". Shikamaru shouted as Naruto fell of the cliff. "Nevermind". Kisame said with a lazy shrug Itachi sat there shaking. When Jiraiya punched out Sasuke he didn't help when he heard the plans he didn't act. Instead he pushed his emotions down. Down further then he ever did before the stress was shorting his life like it always did and he didn't care. He stood up. "Let's go". He said trying to be neutral as usual but was shaking he forgot to dry his tears something Kisame noticed and left with him.
End of flashback.
Ayame was crying with her father and Isaribi. Suigetsu was stunned Karin was angry angrier then she's ever been. "I'll fucking kill them". She shouted braking her bowl with her fist. "I'll admit he was a tough little fucker. That seal Jiraiya gave Itachi to show me and the Akasuki higher ups was nuts". Kisame said with a grin. "Blocked his access to the fox's chakra and sealed the kids own chakra coils. Getting ganged beat stabbed. Hit by some of the deadest Jutsu's in history and still went down fighting like a man. Would have murdered Sasuke if Itachi didn't jump it still broke the little bastards face after cutting out his eye. Then smacked the bitch that stabbed him in the back". Kisame raised his Saki to Naruto's memory then chuckled. "Even that fucked up he wasn't able to let his life be taken by cowards and backstabbers so did it himself. That's something every swordsman can respect. He had no idea what they were going to do with his body. So like with us he decided to make them work for it". Kisame said with a chuckle he actually missed the kid. Itachi left out Naruto's offer out saying he'd go down fighting. He wanted to spare Naruto's dignity that he wouldn't put on a show before death.
"What do you mean?". Isaribi asked in tears Kisame grinned. "Apparently the kid loved hide and seek. So he went off the cliff in to the river and made Konoha look for him". Kisame laughed everyone looked at the heartless blue bastard sadly. "Itachi told me what he said in the Tsukuyomi. So trust me Uzumaki Naruto could have been a bastard after my own heart if he lived. Just before death got him he decided to out run it one last time". Kisame said with a grin Ayame broke down Teuchi glared at Kisame. Suigetsu raised his Saki to Naruto's memory. "To Naruto". He said Karin looked at him angrily Suigetsu grinned at her. "Come on even I'll admit it was badass. He took Sasuke's eye going down like a warrior giving them no satisfaction". Karin just looked down sadly. "Look Karin ya want back up I'll give it to you". Suigetsu offered surprising her making him grin. "Look after what I just heard I'd rather make sure this warrior gets his due". He explained Karin smiled at him a bit.
"Still his dignity is a little more important I know you agree". Suigetsu said with a frown getting there attention Karin nodded. "I wanted to kill at least some of the bastards on that list but you're right I'll hold it in for now". Ayame handed Karin back the book. "His dignity?". She asked Karin nodded. "I have something far more important then revenge that needs doing first". Kisame nodded he had something to deliver to Konoha regardless. Everyone noticed the sad look in Karin's eyes. "What happened kid?". Teuchi asked worried she sighed sadly. "Orochimaru has Naruto's body". She explained everyone's eyes widened Kisame raised an eyebrow as Karin told the story.
Flashback.
Karin prepared her medications as per Kabuto's instructions. She also found him annoying she was a doctor to yet he constantly second guessed her. Walking to her masters room, she was about to knock when she heard talking. Curiosity got the better of her and she listened. "All Sasuke-Kun needs is another eye and he'll be fine Kabuto-Kun". Orochimaru assured Kabuto wasn't convinced. "I don't know he's change since Konoha got him". Kabuto countered Karin was angry. "They took Sasuke-Kin those bastards". Karin thought angrily Orochimaru grinned. "Remember he needs me to fight Itachi he'll see the light soon enough". Orochimaru said unbothered Kabuto sighed.
"He's been attacking everything you've built my lord. He's still torn up about killing Naruto. Revenge means nothing to him now". Karin was shocked she heard a bit about the blond Orochimaru shrugged uncaring. "It's an opportunity Karin is to useful to be cut open for now anyway. Naruto-Kun on the other hand his Uzumaki genes could boost my immunities". He said coughing Kabuto thought about it. Karin's eyes widened. "Uzumaki?". She thought listening in more. "Mix it with his gene with the Kyuubi chakra his body still would hove and we have an artificial healing factor". Orochimaru said coughing Kabuto thought about it.
"He's been dead for to long to get anything from him". Kabuto informed Orochimaru grinned. "I dug him up ages ago been keeping him in a freezer at your base. I just haven't had the energy to do anything with him yet". Kabuto grinned Karin was shocked. "The moment I get a new stronger body I'll have plenty of time to play with him. Maybe Karin can help just don't tell her it's her cousin. She mite be a little to sensitive about it". Karin felt disgusted at hearing that. "I have a body on his way now. Then we'll have Naruto to play with. If we don't find anything useful well I'm sure he'd like to pay Konoha a visit". The two chuckled Karin tried not to brake down. She thought of everything the could be used against the two. "Suigetsu would love to kill them but I'd need his trust. That stranger that hangs around some times could be useful to. Orochimaru I'll see you die for this". She vowed and closed her eyes to hold in her rage filled tears forced a smile and knocked on the door. "Orochimaru-Sama your medicine is ready". Kabuto opened the door instead of grabbing the he grabbed Karin pulling her in throwing her to a chair. "How much did you hear?". Kabuto asked dangerously Karin glared angrily back at him.
"That our lord has two new bodies. One for himself another for experiments. What's the big deal I already know these things?". She retorted Kabuto looked at Orochimaru who shrugged. "Forgive him Karin-Chan. Kabuto-Kun is just being worried as usual". Orochimaru ordered she nodded still sitting. "Of course my lord. Let me know if you need a doctor who's skilled enough not to second guess themselves". Karin said respectfully Orochimaru chuckled Kabuto glared angrily Karin thought fast Kabuto wouldn't allow her back in, after her comments. "Also with your permission I'd like to transfer Suigetsu to my base". She asked with a bow Kabuto raised an eyebrow. "Why is that?". He asked Karin glared. "Experiments obviously I believe his ability's could make him a useful host to Orochimaru-Sama". She explained Kabuto nodded.
"He's trapped in a jar how can he be useful host if a little glass can stop him". Kabuto asked with a grin trying to make her look stupid Karin shrugged standing up. "Unlike you I have compete faith in our lords common sense and skill not to get trapped in a jar. Some right arm you are if you can't see the logic plus water doesn't rot like flesh dose. I guess you're losing intelligence being a suck up instead of a scientist". Kabuto glared angrily at the grinning Karin he reached you a Kunai. "Try it my chakra chains while rip you apart". Karin threatened dangerously the two had a glare off to Orochimaru's amusement. "Vary well Karin I need to get payment from the lab there for a friend of mine anyway. You can over see everything but this better produce results". Orochimaru ordered/threatened Karin bowed.
"Of course my lord how much?". She asked respectfully. "15 million with and extra million. I want to keep this friendship going". He ordered coughing again Karin bowed. "Of course my lord unlike Kabuto I won't fail". She said grinning at Kabuto. "Give me the medicine and get the hell out". Kabuto ordered angrily Karin shrugged. "What ever you say Kabuto-Sama I'll be in the lab being useful to Orochimaru-Sama. Try it some time". She bit back nonchalantly before leaving the angry Oto second in command behind. The moment Karin closed the door she started hyperventilating tears welled in her eyes. "Don't worry cousin I'm not letting that bastard touch you". She promised braking down crying. She finally found another Uzumaki only to find out he was murdered, by the man she loved. "Sasuke I'm going to kill you, you bastard". She vowed angrily and prepared she'd plan everything out. Then she'll burn what's left of Oto to the ground. "First up getting rid of that new body". She thought she went through the files and found the candidate. "Immediately to poison magnet release. Fuck how to get away with it?". She thought to herself.
Two day later.
Karin convinced a couple of Kabuto's own loyal Guards that a Konoha shinobi was disgusted as Orochimaru's new body. He was coming alone weaponless in civilian clothes to cast off suspicion. They were to let him in walk him to the second level and kill him for experiments. All she needed to do was drop Kabuto's name and they didn't ask questions. "Don't screw this up no shouting hail Orochimaru-Sama or anything. Just a quick slash to the throat and both of you stab him to make sure he's dead got it?". They nodded in understanding. "Excellent Kabuto recommended you and Orochimaru-Sama sees your potential as students so don't let them down. Now play your part probably". The two nodded again as they approached the door. Opening it up it was a dark haired man with a scarred up face. "Welcome Daiki-San are you ready?". The first Guard asked he nodded.
"Orochimaru-Sama needs my help of course I'm ready". He assured a hidden Karin hated that she was that loyal once. "Right this way our masters preparing". The Guard ordered he nodded and followed. On the second level as Daiki was walking. Karin walked by and stopped to check a cell and let out a whistle getting his attention. "What's wrong Karin-Sama?". Daiki asked she waved him over to check it out. When he did to see the cell was empty she nodded and the guard stabbed Daiki in the neck making him spit out blood. The other guard stabbed his side as the to prison style shived him to death. Karin removed two Kunai from her back pouch. They guards grinned at each other as Karin let out a load angry scream making them turn and she stabbed the two. One in the eye the other in the throat.
"NO YOU FUCKING TRAITORS". She shouted stabbed and slashing the two allow herself to be punched a couple of time by the one stabbed in the throat. The Guard who got the Kunai in the eye was already dead. When the living one broke he glasses. Karin stabbed him the chest. "HOW DARE YOU DO THIS". She yelled stabbing him more she imaged it was Orochimaru. "Die you stupid fucker". She yelled angrily as Kabuto and a group of Shinobi jumped her. Kabuto slammed Karin in to a wall angrily. "What happened?". Kabuto demanded Karin glared. "Kill this man". She ordered the other guards confusing them. Kabuto was pissed.
"How fucking dare you?". He asked angrily chains burst from Karin grabbing him. "Your loyal hand picked guards just killed our Lords new vessel. Explain NOW". She demanded angrily Kabuto glared the guards inspecting the bodies glared at Kabuto. Karin grinned her chains were squeezing Kabuto's neck when they heard a sick cough. "And what pry tell is happening down here?". Orchimaru asked he then saw his new body and was furious. "My lord I came down he to check on experiment HG7-2, when I caught this bastards Kabuto hand picked stabbing Daiki". Karin informed Orochimaru glared at Kabuto who was sweating. "Kabuto-Kun you assured me they were your best". Orochimaru said not hiding his rage in his calm tone.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to get an underling with magnet release?". He asked Karin's chains were crushing his neck. "I don't know what happened my lord….". Kabuto started and the air left his lungs. "It's possible your experiments were faulty like most things here". They turned and saw the man in black leaning against the wall arms crossed. "I remember these rage monsters well enough. Maybe you should stop using experiments as guards". He suggested Karin saw Orochimaru grin I under his bandages. "And what do you suggest I do about it?". Orochimaru asked he shrugged.
"A scolding maybe I mean shit happens doesn't it?". He asked Orochimaru bit down his anger. "I suppose you have a point and I'd rather not lose my favourite. Let him go". Orochimaru ordered Karin dropped Kabuto angrily the man in black pulled out a scroll and throw it, hitting Kabuto in the head bouncing off it in to Orochimaru's hand. "An S-rank medical Ninjutsu as ordered". The assassin explained Orochimaru nodded. "Good work as always my friend". Orochimaru turn to go to his room when a knife flew by stabbing him in to a wall scaring everyone. "Did you forget how I operate oldman?". The man in black asked Karin saw Orochimaru wide eye and shook a bit the knife pinned him by the shoulder. "Of course not I'll have your payment soon". Orochimaru assured the assassin nodded. "You fucking better". Everyone shook as he started walking casually over to Orochimaru. "14 jobs from hunting people to getting rare Jutsu's. To giving you expensive information saving your pale ass more then once. I'm remembering the good old days you payed on time when hiring me Orochimaru". Karin felt nothing but death as he walked passed her. He wasn't blasting any Killer intent it was just his presence alone, it was terrifying. Kabuto moved back to shield his lord.
"Foxtrot Sir I swear my lord will….". Kabuto started but got smacked in to a wall as the man in black got dangerously close to the worst of the Sannin. "I charge interest Y'Know". Foxtrot said Orochimaru shook at the unseen glare. He was far to weak to take him and both knew it. "Karin can you go to Kabuto's base and get his money please". Orochimaru asked Karin bowed she may not need Suigetsu if she's already out. "At once my lord". She was about to leave when. "Wait for your escort as usual. I want his pay protected at all times". He added she was mentally kicked but nodded. "Good don't fuck me over again". The assassin ordered Orochimaru nodded. The assassin pulled the knife releasing him and walked down the hall turning the corner and walked away. Karin saw everyone even Orochimaru breath a sigh of relief when he left.
Karin swallowed all of her fear and walked after this angel of death. Walking down the stairs after him she saw him leaning against a wall as if waiting for her. She shook terrified as some guards walked around the corner and froze. "Give us a minute". He ordered the ran down the hall away from them. "So what can I do for you?". The assassin asked professionally Karin had to find the words. "I…I wwwould like to hire you". She informed the assassin was unmoving. "Tell your master to pay me first". He ordered she shook. "No for him for me". She corrected he nodded in understanding silently. "I want you to..to get me information on Uzumaki Naruto, and get me the sword of Momochi Zabuza". She asked politely sweating he was silent for a moment. "I'll pay you 15 million for both 10 for the sword 5 for the information". The assassin rubbed his chin.
"That's a bit much, price wise I mean their both simple things to acquire". He informed Karin stood her ground. "Their priceless to me I need both as soon as possible". She ordered he nodded. "The information we'll take a while. What exactly do you want to know?". He asked she glared thinking about Sasuke. "Everything the people in his life, his friends his enemies especially his enemies. I want everything you can possibly dig up". She ordered. "For fifteen million in one go you definitely won't be disappointed. By the time I'm done you'll know everything about the Kyuubi Killers". He promised Karin was confused.
"The guys who whacked him allergies bloodlines weakness routines their favourite child hood pet everything". He promised Karin nodded in understanding. "Focus on them mostly I don't need anything to personal on his friends". She ordered he simply nodded. "Seeing as you're a new vary high paying costumer this one's on the house. That fish looking girl Isaribi down the hall was a buddy of his". He informed surprising her. "I'm vary good at my job". He assured Karin just nodded. "Thank". She said now she had a potential ally. "Just be ready when I get back". He said walking off his order to her wasn't threatening or even the tiniest bit dangerous sounding. It was calm with a purpose to it, it confused her.
End of flashback.
Teuchi Ayame and Isaribi were horrified and worried sick Kisame was silent Suigetsu felt bad for Karin. "I managed to contact Foxtrot with an offer to find anything and everything Naruto related. Then spent the next year finding new ways to kill potential bodies for that bastard. I kept him bed redone so he wouldn't be able to touch Naruto". Karin explained Suigetsu and Kisame were impressed. "If Kazekage Gaara really was Naruto's friend whether he takes me or no at least Naruto's dignity remains in tact. If I know the bastard he's at Kabuto's base now". Karin said sadly Teuchi was in tears. "Can't that poor boy be left alone? Even in death people keep trying to use him. Please Karin-San please don't let him do it do anything to Naruto". Teuchi begged with at tearful bow Karin nodded. "I won't let it happen Teuchi-San". She promised. "Ok then let's get out of here thanks for the food Ayame-Chan". Kisame said as they stood up they heard Teuchi cough getting their attention.
"You didn't pay Kisame I'm also vary good with a knife and don't you dare call my princess chan again". Teuchi ordered/threatened Kisame sighed and threw a stack of cash on the table. "Ya do know I'll be infiltrating the base with her right?". Kisame asked shocking the ramen chefs. "Why?". Ayame asked in shock he just shrugged and grinned. "He was a tenacious little prick. I like that in a person". He explained then smiled. "Besides I've wanted to kill Orochimaru for years and now's my chance". He looked at Karin. "Now then let's go see a raccoon about killing a snake to save a fox". He ordered before leaving Karin was about to pay when he stopped and hugged her.
"If you're Naruto's blood you're mine as well come back if you ever want to talk. Good luck and be careful". Karin hugged him back in tears as Ayame smiled. "Tell Gaara-Kun we vouch for you. He's a good man". She informed Karin nodded in thanks as she was about to leave Teuchi pointed to a shop. "It's a Suna clothing store they sell vails robes and head wrapping there get something to hide yourself in". Karin nodded again as she left. "My little brother an experiment? That bastard Orochimaru". Ayame said angrily in tears Teuchi hugged her crying with her while Isaribi looked down tearfully. "Get your stuff then we're going to see someone". Kisame ordered Karin and Suigetsu looked at him. "Who?". She asked. "The boss man he can help". Kisame explained pushing Karin in to the new shop. Karin looked around quickly she found robes and a head wrappings with cloth mask.
Clothing store.
"Perfect". She went to the counter bumping in to someone. "Sorry I…". Karin locked in to a pair of yellow eyes and bearded grin the man was in an expensive suit. "My apologies miss". Karin looked at him strangely something about him was familiar. "Do I know you?". She asked with suspicion he shrugged. "I'm famous in these parts so I suppose. Menma". He introduced sticking out his hand Karin shook it. "Karin Uzu…". She froze he grinned more. "Uzu…?". He repeated curiously. "Uzugaki". She tried to lie he chuckled. "An interesting name". He said with a grin Karin was ready to stab this guy when he turned and walked to the counter. "Come here miss Uzugaki". Menma ordered Karin for some reason did as told Menma put a stack of cash down.
"Let her get what ever she wants and keep the change". Menma ordered then walked out surprising the two. "Why did are you doing that?". Karin asked he waved nonchalantly back turned. "The Uzugaki I knew was a family first kind of guy. I miss him dearly myself". He said walking out Karin was confused but took advantage. She bought more robes and masks preparing for days in advance before walking out. A newly dressed Karin came out in white robes and a blue over coat with white head wrap she had he mask at the ready. Hiding both her bite marks and gender. "Took you long enough let's go". Kisame ordered as they walked off.
Mayors office.
Inari was doing paperwork getting annoyed while the real Inari was reading on the couch. His senses kicked in and he sighed de-summing his clone and sitting at his desk. Kisame walked in unceremoniously as usual annoying Inari. "Can you not knock?". Inari asked Kisame shrugged. "Pull it on your own time besides I like to keep you on your toes let me guess you were using a clone?". Inari nodded annoyed. "My receptionist freaked out when she saw two of me last time. So I switch out when I sence people coming". Kisame laughed at that Inari noticed Suigetsu and Karin and raised an eyebrow at Karin. "Who are your friends?". Inari asked Karin walked up and bowed. "Good afternoon Inari-Sama. My name is Uzumaki Karin". She introduced Inari's eyes widened a bit. "Uzumaki?". He repeated she nodded.
"Kisame said you would be able to help me we're going to Konoha and to meet Kazekage Gaara and…". Inari put a red and gold Uzumaki pin on the desk and grinned. "This will show them you're one of my vary important people. If you're an Uzumaki it's all I need to know". Karin was surprised to hear that and he smiled softly at her. "You're cousin was a great man Karin-Chan. Helping his family no questions asked is the least I can do". Inari said sincerely Karin was in tears as he got up and went to his book self and pulled a book opening it and giving it to her. It had a picture of Minato and a pregnant Kushina in it. "You look just like her it's all the evidence I need besides Kisame may be dumb but his instincts are good so take it". Inari said Kisame glared Suigetsu chuckled Karin looked at Kushina then at Inari and hugged him. "Thank you Inari-Sama". She said crying Inari hugged her back. "Call me Inari and whatever you're plans with Gaara-Nii-San are come visit Wave sometime anyway". He asked she hugged him tightly and nodded before the group left. "Good luck Karin". He said summoning a clone and went back to reading.
The great Naruto bridge.
Kisame Suigetsu and Karin walked across the large bridge. Karin saw the statue of the man hands on his hips and what looked like a smile on his face. "Who's that?". Karin asked the guy must have been important to have a statue made of him. Kisame grinned at her pointing to a plaque her and Suigetsu went to read it.
The Great Naruto Bridge
This bridge is dedicated to and in loving memory of Uzumaki Naruto. The hero of Wave. Saviour of Spring. Protecter of Demons. The man that brought down the Sky and an inspiration to us all.
Though his life was short and hard his deeds were great and many. May he Rest In Peace and never be forgotten.
Suigetsu let out an impressed whistle Karin looked at Naruto's statue. "You were such a great man Naruto. I'm so sorry I never got to meet you". She said in tears Suigetsu frowned looking at the statue himself. "You were a hell of a guy Naruto. I'll carve your name on Orochimaru's forehead. Hopefully he can't pussy out like normal". Suigetsu promised Karin chuckled sadly at that as they made their way across. Kisame looked at the statue and grinned. "You were a pain in the ass but a fun one. Sorry kid looks like hide and seek is over. Still I'll fuck with them in your memory". Kisame thought with a chuckle continuing on with the two.
Standing on the bridge pillars were a couple of black coated men in masks and sunglasses one of them was the assassin Karin hired. "So looks like they finally found the poor bastard eh bro?". The Fixer said with a masked grin the assassin nodded. "Took them long enough figures it'd be Kisame". Foxtrot said his partner chuckled at that. "So Iwa or Konoha?". He asked with a grin. "Iwa already called me business is business granddad always says". The assassin replied making his partner chuckle. "Well at least there's some measure of pleasure in it right?". His partner asked the assassin nodded.
"Anyway I suppose you'll go warn your favourite client?". The assassin shook his head. "Hasn't payed me for the last few jobs. Karin also payed a fortune so she's on the don't touch list". He informed his partner nodded in understanding. "So you keeping the product then I'm getting creeped out by the things". The assassin chuckled. "I sold a nice chuck of them already Orochimaru is running out of time". He informed his partner nodded again. "Won't have any time if his dead". His partner pointed out the assassin shrugged. "I'll make a fortune in Iwa and besides I already picked his safes In his other bases before Konoha got to them". This surprised his partner. "What happened to never betray a client unless betrayed first the old man's going to kill you". His partner warned the assassin grinned.
"It's not betraying I sold him the information on the bases Konoha was going to attack weeks in advance. He took his toys and left the money. So I took it if he put the money first he could pay me now". He chuckled with his partner. "Anyway Inari called me to deal with that annoying Diemyo so later bro". The assassin said walking off his partner waved. "Mind if I keep an eye on them?". He asked the assassin shrugged. "Let me know if anything funny happens". He asked jumping of the bridge.
Konoha main gate.
The group entered and spotted Mizukage Mei waiting to be escorted in with Ao and Chōjūrō. Asuma Kurenai Guy Kakashi and Shizune were there with them. Mei saw Kisame and raised an eyebrow. "Kisame-San what brings you here? I didn't request your presence". Mizukage Mei asked Kisame bowed grabbing Suigetsu's head forcing him to do the same. "A private mission ma'am". Kisame informed then whispered in her ear Mei's eyes widened confusing the Konoha escort she then nodded. "Really now sure you'd rather not join Kiri dear?". Mei asked Karin shook her head. "I'm sorry Mizukage-Sama but Suna is my goal. Hopefully I'll be accepted I've read up about Gaara-Sama. I also want to be as far from my old base as possible. I'm sorry but I made my mind up". Karin informed with a respectful bow Mei nodded in understanding. An Uzumaki especially Naruto's first cousin in their ranks would be politically valuable but not worth angering Gaara.
"I understand still if he doesn't accept Kiri would be happy to have you". Karin nodded suspiciously knowing what Mei was thinking. "Mind telling us what's going on?". Asuma asked taking a puff Karin glared. "That is no concern of yours I only wish for an audience with lord Gaara on a personal matter". Karin informed annoyed Asuma sighed. "Look miss for all we know you're an Iwa spy or…". Asuma start Mei glared. "Are you accusing Kiri of something?". Mei asked dangerously everyone flinched. "No ma'am we're just paranoid with a war brewing and all". Asuma explained with a bow Kisame grinned. "This girl here is a friend of Inari you remember him right?". Kakashi frowned sadly thinking about the kid. "We do". Kurenai answered Kisame nodded keeping his grin. "If you keep bothering my client here you'll make Inari angry. Did you here the stories about the last time Inari was angry?". Everyone flinched and nodded again. "Good now then can you all pretty please mind your own busy. I'd be ever so grateful". Kisame asked Konoha lowered their heads in defeat.
"Ya know I'm joining Kiri right?". Suigetsu asked annoyed at being ignored Kisame rolled his eyes. "Wait Mangetsu's little brother? Why do you have big bro Zabuza's sword?". Chōjūrō asked angrily Kakashi was surprised Mei narrowed her eyes Suigetsu sighed. "Second coming of the Demon remember? It's mine by right". Suigetsu said annoyed Mei remembered Zabuza calling that. "I still don't buy it". Chōjūrō said Mei Ao and Kisame never saw him this angry before normally his a bit of a push over. Konoha was worried Suigetsu narrowed his eyes. "Now you listen here you overly twitchy fuck. Kubikiribocerrrho's mine by right Zabuza your big bro himself said exactly that. So fuck off or I'll cut your arms of and take Hiramekarei to. You're to much of a bitch to be one of the seven anyway". Suigetsu threatened both removing their swords.
"That's enough". Mei said with full authority stopping them. She looked at Karin. "Kazekage-Dono is at Konoha graveyard I'll take you as a guest". Mei offered Karin nodded in thanks. "Suigetsu if you really are planning to rejoin Kiri. I'll accept but you better show respect to your sword brothers". Mei demanded Suigetsu looked at Chojuro and nodded. "You got it boss lady as long as he dose the same". Suigetsu demanded Chojuro sighed and nodded. "Good we're all friends now but Suigetsu. It's Mizukage-Sama not boss lady". Mei informed dangerously Suigetsu merely bow respectfully. "My apologies Mizukage-Sama. Sword brother Chojuro". He said surprising Karin as he walked up a shook Chojuro's hand before they walked to the grave yard, with the escort.
"I'm actually surprised you did that so easily". Karin informed Suigetsu grinned. "The Seven Swordsmen before the war and a couple of assholes. Was always meant to be a brotherhood first it's Kirigakure's greatest honour. Something my brother took vary seriously it's why he was the holder of the Seven. Not just because he was strong enough to wield them all, but was also the one trusted enough to keep them safe". Suigetsu said proudly. "Why do you think Psychos like Munashi Jinpachi Kurosuki Raiga and Kuriarare Kushimaru were accepted?". Suigetsu asked Karin raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea who those people are". Kisame laughed at that. "Probably for the best Kurosuki Raiga as strong as he was got his ass kicked by a thirty-five year old Genin and ran away. Same guy killed the other two as well the rest lost to right. Biwa Jūzō was there to was my predecessor as Itachi's partner and Zabuza's predecessor for Kubikiribocerrrho's". Kisame informed Karin nodded in understanding. Guy knew who he was talking about and glared.
"So there was a time all seven swordsmen lost to an old Genin?". She said they nodded. "The guy unlocked all eight inner gates to do it. We actually honour his memory as a true warrior". Chojuro informed surprising Karin and Guy. "You honour the memory of the guy that wiped out the seven swordsmen?". Guy asked not believing it Suigetsu grinned. "Might Duy was his name. To be a member of the Seven you have to be stronger then everyone else in Kiri. Braver then average Shinobi and crazy enough to take the mantle. Might Duy's one man fight proved that generation was weak and deserved death". Kisame and Chojuro nodded in agreement. Guy was shocked. "He was my father". He informed the three nodded. "We figured as much he has a painting in the Hall of the Seven it's only reserved for people who battled a Seven member, with honour in fierce combat. You must be proud?". Chojuro asked Guy looked down and nodded his father was honoured more by the enemy then his own people. "The Seven swordsmen answer only to the Mizukage and have a code established by the first Mizukage. Chojuro Kisame and I don't need to get along or even like each but under the code need to respect each other". Suigetsu informed Chojuro and Kisame nodded to that.
"So why did you fight Kisame to begin with?". Suigetsu sighed Kisame grinned. "I wasn't trying to be a member of the Seven when I got Samehada. I just killed Suikazan Fuguki for it when I left. Plus Suigetsu needed to fight someone who had a sword and win to enter. So neither of us were members at the time". Kisame informed with a grin surprising her. "Beating a swords men and taking his place is the norm if you're Kiri loyal. Kisame at the time wasn't anymore. I was kidnapped by Orochimaru after the ass kicking he gave me trying to reclaim it. So I'm not surprised Chojuro didn't count me as a brother. Must of thought I turned traitor". Chojuro looked at him confused as Suigetsu grinned. "It's another reason way I'm here Orochimaru owes both of us blood. I gave her my word as a Seven regardless". Chojuro merely nodded as they continued.
"I thought you lived up to it after getting her to Wave?". Kisame asked Suigetsu shrugged. "Fuck it I just want to kill the pale fucker then. Not like you can relate". Suigetsu countered with a grin Kisame chuckled at that. "Ya know Kiddo Naruto fought both Zabuza and Kurosuki Raiga". Kisame informed surprising her as he grinned Konoha listened in closely. "Kid had a hell of a way with words and braver then most brats his age. Took the Demon of the Mist and his son Haku on almost by himself on his first mission out. An C rank turned A. It's why that bridge was named after him". Kisame said shocking her and Suigetsu they never heard the stories for obvious reasons. Konoha frowned sadly especially Kakashi. "When Kakashi there killed Haku Naruto was the one who apparently mourned over him the most. Scolded Zabuza in the middle of the fight in front of an army of thug. About how shinobi aren't disposable". Kisame said with a frown Mei Ao and Chojuro agreed with that. Karin tried not to turn and stab Kakashi and Kakashi want to be stabbed right now.
"Naruto inspired Zabuza to avenge Haku's death he didn't have the use of his arms. So Naruto tossed him a Kunai with it clenched in his teeth Zabuza destroyed the army in front of him. He died getting the little bastard that hired then betrayed him. Zabuza went down in a way befitting a member of the Seven". Kisame said with a chuckle. "He also inspired the people of Wave to fight back. Inari at all of 8 years old formed a posse to fight Gato's men scaring them off. Wave was a shit hole before him. According to the information we had. Naruto just barely mastered tree climbing at that point and still fought like a devil when he got there". Mei Suigetsu Karin and Ao were confused. Kakashi was completely ashamed of himself. "That wasn't Academy stuff?". Ao asked confused Kisame grinned Konoha was embarrassed that would be smarter. "Apparently not even the slaughterhouse was smart enough to teach us that. He's Sensai Kakashi of the Sharingan one of the people that iced him pretty much only taught him that. Everything else from what we learned about was team work. Guess that was a waste of team eh Kakashi?". The Kiri shinobi were shocked the rumours of Naruto's deeds were legendary by this point. Kakashi wanted to cry and die right now Kisame knew it bothered him. He found it amusing. "Hope your enjoying it kid". He thought in the shadows an assassin was indeed finding in amusing his brother will get a kick out of it to.
"The slaughterhouse?". Kureani asked trying to change the subject they nodded. "The Kiri academy that made such caring and lovable people like me and Zabuza. Genin fought to the death all the time. The 3rd Mizukage built it and Obito forced Yagura to continue it, after the poor bastard was trying to change it". Kisame explained grinning at Kakashi. "Seems to be a team 7 legacy eh? Kill or abandon your comrades that's what we learned in there". Kakashi held his heart painfully. "Anyway Jiraiya barely taught him the Rasangan himself. Kid still mastered it in a week. Shadow clones he got braking in to the Hokage tower. He was a pain in the ass with them mastered it in two hours. Could summon by our estimate a hundred and fifty of them in one go at 13". The Kiri shinobi were impressed with Karin and Suigetsu. Kisame grinned at Karin. "Destroyed Kabuto with the Rasangon to launched him in to a rock. Saved the Hokage and the brunette there to". Karin smiled at that Suigetsu grinned Shizune missed Naruto. "And Raiga?". Chojuro asked interested Naruto had a place in the hall of the seven Kisame never explained why till now. "Apparently he knocked Raiga of a cliff after a hard won fight. Raiga ended up blasting himself with lightning killing him before hitting the ground". Kisame said with a grin Konoha was surprised Naruto never mentioned it. Lee was drawing a blank from getting hammered Neji was out cold most of the fight and Tenten didn't see much because she was with them.
"Honestly Naruto had to much honour for his own good. Buried Zabuza using Kubikiribocerrrho as a headstone and Raiga with the Kiba blades. Two of the seven legendary swords in the palm of is hand. Instead he leaves them with their wielders as a sigh of respect. Anyone else would have kept them he has a place in the hall of the seven to". Kisame informed Chojuro Ao and Mei nodded at that. The mystery finally revealed on as to way. Suigetsu grinned Karin looked down sadly with Konoha. "He was that great of a man wasn't he?". Karin said sadly Kisame grinned Konoha was to sad to be suspicious right now. "Actually he was a pain in my ass but I appreciate crazy people and he was bat shit insane". Kisame said with a hearty laugh.
"Still there was a reason I hung his photo up. In another life I guess I could have called him a friend". Kisame said everyone Konoha looked at him. "You put him in the hall?". Kurenai asked stunned Kisame grinned. "Of course I have him listed as the one that got away. Thanks for that". Konoha glared at him Karin know it hurt them and wanted Kisame to continue it only fuel her vengeance more. "Don't give me that look Kakashi. We're basically brothers the two of us". Kisame said with a grin Kakashi glared. "We are not brothers". Kakashi said angrily. "Besties then I'm mean we have so much in common. Both of us killed comrades under our Kage's orders. Thought I left because of it after killing that bastard who ordered me to do it. Both of us fought the three tails, but I guess my Jinchuuriki did live and put up a fight yours definitely didn't. I do mean fought not impaled while she wasn't looking. Finally both of us tried to Kill Naruto though to your credit you actually succeeded. Good for you". Kakashi was visibly pissed he wanted to kill Kisame. "Anyway let's talk more about Naruto's achievements. It's kind of funny just how much more I knew about him then Konoha. I never thought I'd be the more caring person in someone's life". Kisame said with a chuckle Suigetsu grinned Karin promised Kakashi would really know what suffering was.
"That buddy of his Gaara Naruto fought him bare handed. When Gaara was in his full one tailed beast state summoned the boss toad. Jumped off of him and punched the future Kazekage in the head waking him up. All during the Oto-Suna invasion spared his life making Gaara what he is today. Then saved him when Akasuki kidnapped Gaara. Loss Sasori because of never liked him anyway". Everyone was shocked to hear that as Kisame chuckled Konoha praised Sasuke for that for years after the Chunin exams. They all now felt horrible because of it. "One hell of a Jonin". Ao said impressed Konoha was embarrassed Kisame grinned. "Genin till 16 he was only a jonin the day he died. Considering how he died I doubt it was even official. Must of been the happiest day of his life. Especially when his friends came along". The Kiri shinobi were wide eyed with Karin. Konoha's hearts shattered. Especially Kakashi's. "There's a lot you don't know about what happened". Kakashi said shaking Kisame chuckled. "I highly doubt that Kakashi". Kisame returned with a knowing grin making them shake.
"Are you fucking joking?". Mei asked in shock Kisame grinned. "Nope". He replied simply. "So fighting a Jinchuuriki future Kage single handly. Saving an economic powerhouse of a village by fighting Zabuza-San. Destroying the fucking land of sky's flying whatever it was possibly preventing a world war because of it and no one thought to make him a Chunin at the vary least? He apparently knocked out a literal god for fuck sake". Ao exclaimed Kiri stopped and looked at Konoha confused. Konoha just felt worse because of it. Kisame enjoyed every moment. "He was….". Shuzune tried to find something reasonable to say. "A better fit for Kiri to loyal to go to Suna. Wasted his time here with all of you. I completely agree". Suigetsu said with a grin as they turned around walking away Kakashi was in tears now.
Konoha graveyard.
Gaara was on his knees praying at the grave of his dead Jinchuuriki brother. Temari Baki and Konkaro were busy talking with Konohamaru Moegi and Udon. Shikamaru Sasuke and their teams guarded the gates. Seeing as Tsunade didn't trust her people to keep their mouths shut and risk offending Gaara, the grave yard was off limits to them while he was there. Jiraiya was waiting to pay his respects with Sakura Hinata and Choji. Upon seeing Mei and company Shikamaru was on guard Karin's glare wasn't helping. "Mizukage-Sama". Shikamaru and Sasuke greeted with a bow she nodded a hello. "Captain Nara. Uchiha may we pass?". She asked Shikamaru kept an eye on Kisame who was grinning at him but nodded waving them through. "This won't take long you can all wait". Mei ordered the Konoha escort.
"Mind if I have a moment with them Mizukage-Sama? We are the Naruto hunting club after all". Kisame asked Mei shrugged and continued on her way with the others. Everyone was already pissed at that comment. "What's this about if you're looking for a fight we're ready". Sakura said dangerously Kisame chuckled. "Kid I was the one who was supposed to fight Naruto at full beast face to face to being him in alive. You stabbed him in the back with a gang. Don't think for a moment you're anywhere near my level". Everyone glared angrily at him he then shrugged. "Fine I'll just take the news to your boss then. If she's sober anyway". Kisame said walking to the gate. "What news?". Shizune asked Kisame tossed something green and shiny to Shikamaru and his eyes widened with Shizune in shock.
"Where?". Shikamaru demanded everyone else else saw what it was and their hearts sank Kisame grinned. "So it really was him I was wondering about that. Fish ate most of him and his pretty bloated and rotten to. The cold water from being that deep did preserve them somewhat, but not by much". Kisame explained with a grin Shikamaru and the others didn't want to continue hearing this so Kisame continued. "Missing his eyes that mop top of his got all green and gray from the algae. A crab laid eggs in his mouth. While an eel made a house in his stomach fucking gross looking now. If it wasn't for the necklace and what was left of that orange tracksuit I wouldn't of guessed". Everyone glared holding In their tears and shame to Kisame's amusement. "Where is he?". Jiraiya demanded angrily Kisame shrugged. "I say his better off down there where no one can get him….unlike here". Everyone glared harder making him chuckle. "He's also has plenty of new friends down there Inari's been a busy boy, since finding out how his hero died". Kakashi Sasuke and Sakura were in tears. "Orochimaru also got your replica. The things he's planning to do with it even I find disturbing. Like I said the kids better off as fist food". He informed shocking everyone. "That's what my hooded friend is going to tell Gaara. I'm the only one who knows the truth". Everyone's eyes widened. "So be nice or I'll start blabbing". Kisame ordered with an I dare you smile.
"Do you have any idea what that could do to the alliance?". Asuma asked shaking Kisame grinned. "I used to roll with Akasuki. Screwing up people's day was the fun part of the job and I'm getting awfully nostalgic right now". He informed with a shrug and smug grin before walking off Shikamaru looked at Ino who nodded. "Oh by the way. Ya can try going in to my head or attacking but I wouldn't recommend it". Kisame advised smiling dangerously at them. "My head isn't a nice place to be in and I'll kill anyone who tries. Then I'll do in their clans after telling Mei and Gaara. Then it's bye bye alliance". Ino was worried making him chuckle. "The best part was his final moments I was there with Itachi that day. Saw the hole thing Teuchi wants your heads by the way". The killers started shaking sadly. "Itachi got Naruto in the Tsukuyomi just before he was about to kill his baby bro". Kisame said with grin looking at the broken Sasuke. "Itachi told me he nearly broke out of it with his anger alone. Before he finally broke himself. Asked hasn't he suffered enough and where does it end?. Itachi was broken by it. He refused Itachi's help and everything". Kisame informed with a chuckle braking them further.
"They're useless Itachi I've carried them through thick and thin for years to know. I don't trust them to do it right. I don't know what they're planning to do with my left overs, but I'm not giving the the satisfaction. Those were his exact words". Kisame informed everyone felt weak Jiraiya was shaking horribly he fell to his knees. "Said if he lived he'd be the monster everyone always wanted him to be. He didn't want that he wanted to die a human". Hinata Sakura and Ino burst in to tears with Shizune Neji was was stunned Shikamaru wanted to scream. Kakashi had a small heart attack. Lee was suffering ptsd Tentan was shaking. Kiba saw Naruto's blood on his hands again Choji broke down. Sasuke felt his stomach turning.
"That's when he begged Itachi to let him go so he could do it himself. It's why he went of that cliff he didn't trust any of you to kill him properly. So like always he decided to help you". Kisame said with a frown. "Mentally broke Itachi told me he saw a Kage he would have be proud to serve till that day. Oh well". Kisame said with a shrug Sasuke went on his hands and knees. "Kisame-Sama I'm begging you please just tell us where Naruto is". Sasuke begged head to the ground Kisame frowned the grinned at him. "Tell you what how about we make a game of this. You are all to remain nice a quiet about this. Till we leave to bring back that decoy. During that time the Hokage doesn't know anything". Kisame demanded with a grin. "Why?". Sakura asked tearfully Kisame chuckled.
"I have a sneaking suspicion something is going to happen with Kasu. Tsunade might demand something and you're not to have her back at all. Fail this your favourite little sacrifice stays where here is. Stay quiet I'll tell only the people here no one else. Though it won't be an exact description you'll at least get one deal?". Kisame asked everyone looked at each other and nodded. "Why are you doing this hasn't he suffered enough?". Tenten asked Kisame grinned. "He has you haven't I promised at he's bridge to fuck with you in his memory. That's exactly what I'm going to do besides the only one getting a proper burial is his stunt double. I'm guessing you're going to get rid of him completely. So might as well make you work for it like he wanted you to". Everyone's hearts shattered they were completely defeated Kisame grinned. "I'm glad we understand each other". Kisame said walking off leaving everyone crying and completely heartbroken.
Lee ran to the bushes and threw up Kisame's description was going to hunt him. "Are you ok Lee?". Sakura asked with concern. "
Naruto's grave.
Gaara opened his eyes to see the Kiri shinobi. "Mizukage-Dono". Gaara greeted. "Kazekage-Dono". Mei return Gaara's eyes fell on the hooded Karin. "Who mite you be?". Gaara asked Karin looked around and removed her hood. "My name is Uzumaki Karin I wish to join Sunagakure Gaara-Sama". Everyone's eyes widened in shock Gaara was suspicious. "Is that so?". He asked simply Karin nodded and bowed to him. "Gaara-Sama I don't care what I have to do you were a friend of my cousins. A brother in his eyes I'm a doctor and a warrior. I beg you please let me help Sunagakure like you helped him". Karin asked tearfully Gaara sensed the truth in her words. "Konkaro when is our meeting?". Gaara asked. "Another three hours Kusagakure is taking its time". Konkaro informed Gaara nodded.
"Vary well then you and I are going to have a talk then call it an interview". Gaara said Karin nodded in thanks. "Wait a minute Uzumaki Karin is wanted in as a missing ninja of Kusagakure". Konohamaru informed surprising them as he was serious Karin was worried. "Gaara my advice make sure her hood stays on". He said with a grin surprising her. "If it doesn't I'll have to jump in and help". Karin had tears in her eyes. "Sarutobi Konohamaru?". She asked he nodded. "You've heard of me?". Konohamaru asked mildly surprised Karin walked up and hugged him. "You were Naruto's little brother. Thank you". She said hugging him tightly Konohamaru smiled softly as they walked away. Karin looked around Konkaro Baki and Temari were with them with Kiri. "There is any reason why I wanted to meet you Gaara-Sama". Gaara gave her is full attention. "Naruto's body isn't in that grave Orochimaru stole it". Gaara and his entourage weren't surprised shocking her.
"It was never him in that box to begin with". Gaara explained surprising her. "When the truth came out I started thinking Konoha couldn't be trusted. At the time though I thought it was him. Still only fools wouldn't cremate their dead Jinchuuriki when they know someone who could bring him back. We're only fighting along side them now, because we have all the cards and Iwa is a threat that needs to be put down. For Suna's sake". He said in his usual monotone. "Konoha doesn't know that I know this. I come here because it's his only marker. Konohamaru is also out of the loop like most. Still he's like a little brother so mite as well play along". Gaara explained Karin nodded sadly in understanding. "I want Orochimaru's head regardless so we're going to find it". His said angrily Karin nodded. "He's at Kabuto's personal island lab. I know the place inside and out". She informed Gaara nodded. "After this meeting you're officially Suna. I expect you to earn the tittle". Karin stopped and bowed respectfully to him. "Thank you Gaara-Sama". He smiled softly at her. "Call me Gaara". She smiled back at him and nodded.
Outside the grave yard.
Tsunade was out there waiting with Jiraiya she was nervous. "Gaara-Dono I can explain". She started Gaara wave her off coolly. "No you can't so don't waste my time". He ordered making everyone flinch. "Who is that with you?". She asked Gaara glared. "One of my people leave it at that". She nodded sadly at him. "We'll deal with Kosa then we're going to find Naruto's body. I trust you would like to join?". Everyone nodded heartbroken. "We'll be keeping our eyes on you to". Temari said angrily Shikamaru looked at her sadly and nodded in acceptance. "Now then I have business with my friend here you may go". Tsunade gave him a sorry look an nodded to her team.
Three hours later. Kiri Kasu Konoha alliance meeting.
Tsunade Gaara Mei and Mujo were sitting at a round table. "Hokage-Sama on behalf out Kasogakure. I officially apologize for the hold up". He said with a bow Hyōgo and Zōsui his bodyguards joined him. Tsunade waved him off. "It's quite alright Lord Mujo". She assured Mujo nodded in thanks. "About this alliance I'm sorry Hokage-Sama but Kusagakure is a neutral village. Being the home of the blood prison and all we basically are allied with everyone already, by keeping every villages worst criminals and all". Mujo explained Tsunade frowned Gaara and Mei didn't care it was only an opening to the land of fire. Not wind or water. The land of Rock's Ishigakure was allied with Suna. They were sick and tired of their neighbour with Iwa's disrespect to the smaller villages. Leaving the lands of Keys and Bears who were neutral. Bear's hidden village Hoshigakure didn't see the point in fighting for either side. So they walled off their borders as a mixed blessing to both, even if they weren't allies they made sure neither side was going to enter the others land.
While Key's Jomae village were information brokers who saw profit in working for both sides. Both villages just wanted to charge through the place to get to the other, but Jomae village always had a way to survive. So they had to play ball the blackmail they had on every village, that could start a worse war was the main reason for it. "I understand Kusa's situation Mujo-Dono, can we at lest assume you'll be guarding your borders preventing both sides access?". Tsunade asked Gaara was annoyed it make the entire war a Suna affair. Have both sides entering and most likely fighting in his lands. Mujo shrugged. "As previously stated we have an alliance with basically everyone. Either side can enter our land as long as the fighting remains out of it". Mujo explained Tsunade frowned but nodded in understanding.
"Vary well Lord Mujo if there's nothing else then, we can call an end to this meeting". Tsunade said Mujo nodded in understanding. "Again I'm sorry Tsunade-Sama". He said sincerely as he got up and left with his men. Tsunade sighed as Gaara and Mei looked at each other. "At least you have time to guard you borders yourself and everyone has to play nice in Kusa. I didn't have that luxury my force and Iwa have been having a staring contest from across Keys. You need to talk to Oonki now". Gaara advised Tsunade sighed and nodded. "We'll take a brake for now. I'd like to get to know your new friend Gaara-Dono". Mei said with a grin Gaara merely nodded. "I need a drink anyway no offence but Kisame still annoys me with his presents". Gaara said as they got up Mei chuckled. "He does that why Inari-Kun wanted him of all people I'll never know". They chuckled on the way out Tsunade sighed in annoyance. "I don't drink on duty anymore but Gaara's new friend Mei just mentioned who's that?". She thought to herself shaking from alcohol withdrawal. "I'll order water I guess". Tsunade said as she went to join her fellow Kage.
The red leaf.
Kisame Karin Suigetsu Konkaro and Temari were drinking together. Karin was telling her story to the horrified Suna Shinobi. The rest were guarding them except for Jiraiya and Sakura who were getting drunk. Konohamaru and his gang walked in and sat with the Kiri-Suna gang next to Temari annoying Shikamaru. "The Kusa ninja aren't joining they may stop for a drink. Be careful". Konohamaru advised quietly they all nodded. "So what's your story anyway kid?". Suigetsu asked Moegi frowned. "He was big brother Naruto's only student". She informed Suigetsu grinned. "Really now learning from the big guy himself damn". Konohamaru felt a sea of pride wash over him but he was level headed. "Thank you Suigetsu-San". Konohamaru said respectfully Kisame grinned. "Learn anything actually decent from him?". He asked Konohamaru nodded. "Shadow clones and the legendary Rasangan". Suigetsu whistled impressed as Konohamaru frowned.
"I could have learned more but well". Suna and Karin looked down sadly shaming the killers Kisame and Suigetsu nodded in understanding. "Eventually you'll either have to avenge him or let it go Y'Know". Kisame said surprising everyone the killers listened in. Konohamaru held in his temper Karin was to important to draw attention to her. "Is that so and what makes you say that Kisame-San?". Konohamaru asked Kisame shrugged drinking. "Considering your sitting with a former Akasuki member not just that but his old hunter and former Invaders to Konoha. While still keeping a level head. It only proves your time for hating these people is passing". Kisame explained Konohamaru glared at him but softened up a bit. "Don't think I forgave you Kisame and Suna is a completely different subject. Still much like how you are to Inari the assholes guarding you are necessary". Konohamaru explained shaming the escort. "Unless Tsunade starts acting we'll have a war with Iwa on our hands. The traitor 13 are expendable assets to keep Konoha alive". Their eyes widened at hearing that.
"I'll never abandon a comrade. They aren't my comrades especially not ol'one eye over there, Konoha is what I want protected. So when they run in to the fight I won't care about losing them". The escort looked down sadly Kisame chuckled. "You sound just like Obito". He said taking a swig Konohamaru narrowed his eyes. "And Obito became such an asshole to begin with because of Kakashi apparently. He then released the Kyuubi killing his own Sensai and Lady Kushina jump starting Naruto's life as a monster. As scapegoat for everyone's problems". Konohamaru said sadly Kakashi looked down in tears Jiraiya slid a drink to him and Kakashi sat down. The other Konoha in the bar were ashamed. "No matter how great my brother was it didn't take much to turn his friends against him. Naruto carried them this village through basically everything never once bragging. Always being there when you needed him to be. Didn't stop them from thinking he was a demon didn't stop them from stabbing him in the back. Hell didn't even stop them from picking favourites hitting him over any little thing and calling him and idiot, just because he was energetic". He said coldly Sakura Jiraiya and Kakashi were hiding there tears everyone else shook.
"I have no doubt they'll give it their all in the war. Even being seen as legends and whatever afterwards. I have no doubt I'll have to follow their orders and fight beside them. Still they don't have Naruto to hide behind anymore". The temperature in the room dropped everyone shivered Kisame grinned. "Ya mite have lost your chance admitting it like you did". Konohamaru glared. "Frankly ol'one eye is the only one I truly want he's a traitor a comrade killer and a coward. I'll gladly let the rest live with it because they're not worth the praise they get or the energy to hate them. They simply don't matter they followed orders he didn't. I'll let my hatred for them go eventually, but eyepatch he's had it coming for years". Sasuke felt weak he agreed with Konohamaru everyone else was broken.
"Ok maybe not Obito but definitely Inari". Kisame commented Konohamaru grinned. "And who's responsible for that I wonder? I'll give my life to Konoha I'll defend it and it's allies but it doesn't mean I have to like everyone in it. My hate Kisame can be put aside for now for the bigger picture. That's it, it's why you're all here to". Konohamaru said calling them out Suna and Kiri looked at each other with Karin and nodded, it hurt Konoha dearly. "I plan to be Hokage when that happens, I'll re-earn the respect Naruto got us that they lose us. I'm not above anyone so you're half right, I'll work with and fight for and listen to 12 out of the thirteen bastards, but I won't allow traitor's to Konoha come back with a slap on the ass and a captain's potion either". Sasuke looked down ashamed with everyone else.
"I'm not Naruto I know this and I'm not trying to be either. Doesn't mean I didn't take his lessons to heart. The only difference is the opinion on traitors, Sasuke's misery is earned. Everyone else were just following orders. I feel more sorry for them then anything else". The twelve looked at Konohamaru sadly. "Why?". Karin asked she honestly didn't want excuses. "Because it could just as easily have been any of us. Then again we could just as easily protested, to aid a comrade that's done so much for us. Till all the answers are reviled that it really was necessary. Could save the life of an Innocent man". The killers were nearly in tears now. "Still you are soldiers". Suigetsu pointed out Konohamaru nodded. "I researched your brother he was a good man". Konohamaru said Suigetsu grinned. "If you were ordered to kill him because Suikazan Fuguki found something saying he was bad would you?". Konohamaru asked the grin left Suigetsu's face Konohamaru simply nodded.
"Just because we're soldiers doesn't make us brainless, could I kill a comrade I've never meet because he's a traitor? Yes could I kill someone I know and was actually proven to be a traitor of course. But if it was Moegi or Udon just because an asshole like Donzo a well known sociopath, said he may have found something in theory no". Konohamaru said truthfully he looked at Jiraiya. "I'd also read all of his findings and have them sent to I don't know Inoichi. Seeing has he could check their mental state with a touch. Keep them contained until final judgement was irrefutable. Especially if they had a trigger like a seal I could investigate easily". He looked back at his group. "We now know Donzo used a Sharingan to manipulate Jiraiya and Tsunade but Donzo's own Journal said it was only a seed of doubt not flat out mind control. Which is why the evidence was needed. I'd like to think if I honestly doubted either of my closet friends. I'd work even harder to make sure I wouldn't set them up to die. I'd set them up for capture and do everything to make sure they were investigated, especially after achieving what Naruto achieved". Konohamaru said sadly Jiraiya was shaking again.
"Then again I don't honestly know I mean look around you. They look miserable and broken they know what they did". The table looked around and saw the sorry shell shocked looks and frowned. Temari kept her eye on Shikamaru alone. "All things considered I never what to kill a comrade especially not a friend. I wouldn't listen to creatures like Donzo or the council because they have a grudge. I am pissed with them I don't trust them not to be manipulated again. Still they're useful right now so I'll deal with them". Konohamaru said bluntly the killers looked down sadly. "You got a strange why of seeing things kid". Kisame said with a grin. "I see a traitor for a traitor and an idiot as an idiot. Right know we're surrounded by them". Everyone around the table flinched. "I was a selfish little prick before the boss. I want to make a better world for everyone that's my goal. I'm not as nice as Naruto matter of fact I'm blunt about everything now a days. Still all I want for now is for my people and village to survive the up and coming war. Everything else can wait". Kisame chuckled at that and raised his. "To Hokage Sarutobi Konohamaru". He said the others raised their glass as the killers frowned especially Shikamaru.
"Now I want to ask you something Kisame". Konohamaru said Kisame grinned. "What's up?". Konohamaru looked him dead in the eye. "Why is everyone so on edge around you. I mean more then usual and I doubt our friend here only came to join Suna?". Konohamaru asked the killers were shaking Kisame grinned in amusement. "What if you don't like the reason?". Kisame asked Konohamaru glared so Kisame lead in and whispered Konohamaru's eyes widened. "When? where?". Konohamaru asked angrily Kisame shrugged Karin looked down sadly. "Apparently a little after he was buried". Karin informed Konohamaru shook angrily. His team were worried Temari looked at him sadly. "After we're done here we're going to get him". Temari informed Konohamaru's rage filled the room scaring even Jonin. "You're not going alone". He demanded Sasuke stepped in. "They're not we're going to join them. I owe him that much". Sasuke said the killers nodded Konohamaru glared.
"None of you fuckers have the right. I'm not allowing you bastards anywhere near him". Konohamaru said angrily everyone flinched when the Kage's walked in Konohamaru stood up and looked at Gaara. "You ready?". Konohamaru asked Gaara knew what he was talking about and nodded with a sigh. "Kisame you bastard let's go". Everyone stood up and walked out confusing Tsunade. "What's going on". She asked Konohamaru glared pulling her in a whispering in her ear not care about the public disrespect to his Kage. Tsunade's eyes widened in shock. "I'm going fuck your feelings on it". Konohamaru said when Tsunade grabbed him. "I'm not letting you go I don't care how mad you are". Tsunade ordered Konohamaru glared.
"So what his murders are going to be the ones. Like that will help them or you?". Konohamaru countered making her flinch. "You hid behind Naruto when he was thirteen and continued for three fucking years. I don't know or care as to why you continue to hold me back but I'm getting my brother whether you like it or not". Konohamaru said his eyes were nearly glowing red like when Naruto was mad. Tsunade felt weak right now. Mujo was walking by when he saw the conflict his guard whispered and pointed to Karin worrying her. Temari Baki and Konkaro noticed and were on guard. "Tsunade-Sama". Mujo said getting there attention. "That person in the robes who is that?". He asked Suigetsu was calm but ready Kisame grinned. "One of Inari's people now someone looking to join Suna". Kisame said as Karin showed her pin Mujo raised an eyebrow. "Really now because Zōsui here is a sensory type and recognizes her chakra. As one of our people". He explained shocking everyone but Konohamaru Udon Moegi and Suna.
Karin glared angrily. "I'm not Kusa you bastard not any fucking more". Karin said removing her head gear Jiraiya Kakashi and Tsunade's eyes widened. "Kushina?". Jiraiya asked in tears shaking Karin glared angrily at him. "I'm Uzumaki Karin Naruto's cousin. Guess the one eyed bastard never brought me up eh?". She asked Sasuke was wide eyed. "I've been trying to find you for years Karin. Tsunade and Jiraiya were helping me". He explained she glared harder. "Fuck you". She said angrily Mujo was calm. "So you went to Oto that's treason. You we'll come with us immediately to face judgement". Mujo ordered Suna glared. "Karin already asked to join Suna I accepted". Gaara said surprising Tsunade and Kusa Kisame grinned loving the show.
"You'd take in a double traitor are you serious?". Zōsui asked annoyed Temari glared. "We heard about your plans for her as a Kunoichi I find you disgusting". She said angrily Mujo looked down in shame while his men glared. "It's her civic duty she…is a needed asset". Mujo explained still feeling like a bastard he looked at Tsunade. "Hokage-Sama my superiors will at the vary least seal off our borders to both land for your war effort in exchange for Uzumaki Karin". Mujo offered Tsunade thought about it. "Fuck you". Konohamaru said angrily Suna nodded. "Karin is Suna now she is also good friends with Inari of Wave. Do you really want to piss off the richest man in the elemental nations? Oonki still regrets it". Gaara said annoyed Kusa flinched to Kisame's pride.
"Look Gaara-Dono Karin is a criminal in Kusa being Naruto's cousin doesn't change that. For all we know she's still working for Orochimaru. Like Sasuke said we were looking for her for years, but never found her she could still be loyal and a spy". Tsunade said trying to convince him Karin Suna and Konohamaru glared everyone else flinched. Kisame grinned and Kusa nodded in agreement. "Really now and yet Sasuke is standing beside you. You don't get to judge while you trust Orochimaru's old boyfriend". Konohamaru bit back Sasuke and Tsunade lowered their heads. Sasuke knew he had that coming for a while. "Gaara-Sama claimed her as his. I don't know or care why she was in Oto but…". Konohamaru was cut of by Karin. "They wanted to force me In to a breeding program for my healing factor". Everyone was disgusted Mujo lowered his head in shame for his village. "My abilitys allow me to heal any wound and strengthen the chakra system when bitten. They treated my mom and I like a drug killed her because of it. I was stripped naked at just 10 years old and passed around bitten everyone just after she died. They stuffed her in a back room because her corpse was upsetting the patients". Konohamaru pull a Kunai angrily.
"Those fuckers Orochimaru killed to make me loyal were going to take me to that hell. 15 and getting raped till pregnant". Temari was ready to kill Karin glared harder at Zōsui. "You remember that don't you, you stone faced fuck?". Zōsui was silent. "Every single fucking day of this is your duty. I don't see you taking it up the ass for Kusa you paedophilic fucker". She shouted Zōsui was angry now. "I would never…". He was cut off. "You wanted me to breed as a child I wouldn't be surprised if you volunteered you disgusting bastard". Zōsui pulled his sword Suigetsu grabbed his to. Mujo couldn't find the words everyone was looking at him. Tsunade had to stop this now. "I'll tell you what". Tsunade started getting everyone's attention. "We'll take Karin to T and I Inoichi will check her memories to see if she's telling the truth and…..". Konohamaru glared Karin removed her robes and jacket.
"Here's you fucking proof". She said showing her body Gaara looked at her with sympathy. "Orochimaru and everyone else Oto, only bit my arms everything else from neck to legs and in between was Kusa. I know you can tell how old a wound is at a glance Tsunade". Tsunade shook with absolute shock as she put her jacket back on. "You want to hand me over Tsunade I fucking dare you to try. You're no family of mine anyway". She said angrily as chakra chains burst from her body. "She's not jumping in alone". Konohamaru said Suigetsu and Suna nodded dangerously. Chojuro was ready to back his new sword brother Kisame Ao and Mei lazily watched. Moegi and Udon were ready to back Konohamaru. "That's enough". Tsunade ordered looking at the killer's for aid. They looked at the grinning Kisame and lowered their heads in shame shocking her.
"What are you doing?". She asked the Killers as Zōsui charged at amazing speed to Karin. "No". Mujo shouted when Konohamaru jumped a Zasui saving Karin and knocking Zasui to the ground ready to kill. Everyone's eyes widened when he brought the Kunai down Sasuke jumped in stopping him. Konohamaru punched him hard in the stomach and stabbed down. Zōsui closed his eyes when he heard a stabbing sound by his head. Opening his eyes he saw hell fire in the 15 year olds eyes terrifying them. "Now shut the fuck up and listening". Konohamaru said squeezing Zōsui's neck tightly choking him. "Your pathetic disgusting honour-less little life wasn't taken because we don't need another war". He started choking him to the point where he was turning purple. "Uzumaki Karin is under the protection of Suna the Wave demon Inari and myself". He wrapped both hand around his neck now choking him hard.
"Cross her again and I'll prove I'm far worse then any Kage past or present am I fucking clear?". Konohamaru asked everyone was sweating a bit. Kisame saw a new student and grinned. Zōsui gagged saliva was coming out of his mouth his eyes were about to pop out of his head. Konohamaru let go and he gasped coughing to the point where he threw up. Konohamaru stomped on his head knocking him out. "Do you have any idea how much trouble you just caused?". Hyōgo asked angrily Konohamaru glared dangerously making the older man flinch. "Like trying to save the life of a Suna ninja while you're friend went rouge and attacked her. Preventing another war in the process between our villages?". Konohamaru asked as he walk towards them. "Like sparing Kusagakure the indignity of allowing the disgusting act of forced breeding, to continue now that it's gone public. Shaming the vary foundation of the land you love". Mujo flinched Konohamaru walk right up to him looking at him dead in the eye.
"I see the shame in your eyes Mujo-Sama you're the master of the blood prison. You see bastards like him behind bars everyday. You take pride in rehabilitating what some consider evil and treacherous. Karin is going to earn her redemption that wouldn't have needed to happen with out bastards like Zōsui. You have my word but you can't judge an evil deed while doing the same thing yourself". Konohamaru said Mujo looked down ashamed and nodded surprising everyone. Tsunade Jiraiya Sasuke Sakura and Kakashi just saw Naruto for a moment and nearly cried. "Uzumaki Karin. I Lord Mujo master of the blood prison, hear by…. Forgive all perceived crimes against it". Karin looked at him in shock as he bowed. "We will remain neutral but I see no reason to bargain for your dignity. So I will grant you the right to join Suna". Karin tearfully nodded in thanks. "I always heard you were a good man Mujo-Sama". She said thankfully he sighed. "Wish I could feel like one right now". Konohamaru shook his hand in gratitude and respect. "You can see that Justice is served. Thank you Mujo-Sama". Mujo nodded thankfully. "You'll be a fine Kage one day young man". Mujo complemented Konohamaru bowed in thanks as the Kuso shinobi dragged Zōsui away.
Mei and Gaara looked at Konohamaru then at each other and nodded in agreement. Tsunade noticed and sighed in defeat. "Well that was dramatic let's go grab the kid already". Kisame ordered Suna Kiri and Konohamaru nodded and walked off. Kisame grinned at everyone. "You lot stay here I want to see the little guy in action". Kisame ordered as they glared at him. "Careful or I'll scream". He threatened with a grin Tsunade walked up and grabbed Kisame slamming him in to a wall, while the others walked away. "What the fuck is going on?". She asked dangerously Kisame grinned. "I told your kill squad to not listen to you and well Sasuke didn't listen". Sasuke's eye widened. "Why are they listening to you at all you blue bastard?". She demanded Kisame smiled annoying her.
"Because we're going to get A body back but I know it's not thee body". Tsunade's eyes widened in shock. "That's right I know where he is now I'm willing to give you another chance. Do you want one?". Tsunade angrily loosed her grip Kisame chuckled. "Now then the lad is coming with us we'll make sure it's brought back good and proper. Unless Karin wants him buried somewhere else. The drunk can join with pinky and cyclops senior but I'm in charge got it?". They all nodded weakly. "Stupendous now shall we?". Kisame asked walking away. "Wait please let me go with you". Sasuke begged. "No". Kisame said simply. "Then what about me?". Tsunade asked in tears Kisame grinned. "Just know your place Tsunade. I'll tell you a happy little uncut story on the trip. Carful it's a doozy". Tsunade saw the tearful looks on the killers faces and was worried already.
