Chapter 2.6 - The Terrible Condition of the Rivals.
In the offices of the Hokage, a conference is being held. Tsunade, Jiraiya,
the Leaf Elders, Kakashi, some representatives of the Sand, and Gaara are at
a table. Tsunade opens the meeting with an extension of thanks and gratitude
to the Sand for the help that they gave them on the last mission. The Sand
Elders thank her, and state that since Orochimaru's betrayal, they have kept
fast in securing a military alliance with the Leafs. Tsunade again thanks
them. Gaara interupts by asking what will Orochimaru do now that his plan has
failed. Jiraiya says that since he found the Sand turned and his own villages
forces decimated, he will now probably turn to the Cloud Country or the Rock
Country for help. One of the Elders speaks up saying that the Cloud Country
will probably be more likely to help the Leaf Country since they have more
outstanding grievances with the Leafs. At the same time though, the Elder
continued, the Rock Country has more outstanding grievances with the Sand, so
they will need to keep an eye on both. Tsunade speaks up by saying that the
ANBU are in both countries right now trying to figure out what is going on.
She says right now they need to make sure Orochimaru stays isolated. At this
point, Anko comes in saying that Orochimaru will not be trying anything soon.
Tsunade looks up and asks why. She says that she just had a look at Sasuke,
and that his curse seal was going all across and receding across his body,
which meant only one thing, Orochimaru was trying to reestablish his
connection to Sasuke, since it seems to have been severed somehow. Jiraiya
remarks that it was probably Naruto's doing. Gaara speaks up again and asks
just what is wrong with Naruto. She says that at first he seemed to be in a
state similar to Kakashi when she got here. Both Kakashi and Jiraiya froze
up, and Jiraiya asks if it was possible the Mangekyou Sharingan was
activated. Kakashi says he has no clue happened, but that it seems
that Naruto is down and the Demon Fox is attempting to gain control, since it
seems that Naruto's eyes keep switching from normal to slited pupils. He
said that it is doubtful that he will escape since he is surrounded by demon
control jutsus and the seal on him was recently reinforced. Gaara takes this
information in and asks to go see Naruto. Kakashi and Tsunade agree, and
Jiraiya accompanies him out of the room.
All for this time. Next part will start with what is going on in Sasuke's head, and then there will be chapters dealing with Naruto. Reviews, comments are appreciated. Thank you all
This is just a fanfic, not official Naruto writing.
