Chapter 23: The Mission

"Naruto-Kun" a shy voice spoke up; there stood Hinata walking towards the group.

"Hey Hinata-chan…"smiled the blonde.

Kohana got up and ran towards the young Hyuga. "Hi! Ms. Hinata…where's Sakura…" asked the pinked haired girl.

Hinata return the hugged and said, "Well she's in a mission with Kiba and Chouji" then she turn to face the blonde. "Naruto-Kun…5th Hokage wishes to see you in her office"

Naruto stood up and said, "Well I wonder what's up.

Later…

There sat a certain light blonde haired woman who was reading some notes in front of her until a knock was heard.

"Come in…" she spoke up without turning her eyes away from the paper she was looking at.

"You wanted to see me…" It was Naruto who came in with Hinata followed by his two students.

The Fifth Hokage looked up and smiled "That was rather quick…" she began then threw the papers she was holding on top of the desk. "Here's a report on what's happening…" she finish.

Naruto walk up and pick up the paper and began reading it, "What the…you can't be serious…" he said and look at the Fifth.

The Fifth Hokage close her eyes, "The Feudal Lord of the Stone Country is in Grave Danger…" she began and open her eyes to look at the blonde. "They said…the dead is coming back to life and they said a foreigner dropped by a few months ago." She finish.

Naruto frowned, "But why did the Feudal Lord of the Stone Country request for us…" asked the blonde.

"Well…the other countries…think it's a hoax, a prank so they didn't believe it…" she replied then lean back on their chair. "Naruto what do you think about this…" she asked.

"It's not a hoax…it's the real thing…" he began.

Kohana and Jeero where just listening to the conversation but they looked bored. The boy then whispered to Kohana's ear. "I don't get it…there just doing some grown up talk"

Kohana yawned and said, "Yeah it's boring" she whispered back.

Upon looking at the kids faces Hinata Chuckled to herself and walk over to the kids and shuffled their hairs and whispered to them, "You two are bit young to be interested in this kind of conversation." The pink haired girl just giggled while the boy just folded his arms and look to the opposite direction.

"So Naruto…it isn't a hoax…" she wondered while narrowing her eyes.

The blonde glance at the papers once again before placing it on top of the desk, "Judging what the report said…is really ture…" he began and put his hands on his pockets and said, "There's one explanation for this…and he's the last remaining ninja of the Yakuza clan" he finish.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth was shocked and gripped her hands tightly. "The Yakuza clan…you say" she remarked while closing her eyes, Naruto only nobbed.

"What is this Yakuza clan…" a shy voice spoke up, it was Hinata.

"The Yakuza clan is one of the most feared clan's that ever existed during the first Ninja wars." He began while shifting his eyes, "What makes them so dangerous…is that they can bring the dead back to life and used them to do there own bidding." He finishes.

"That's true…" spoke the Fifth then sighed, "They are Ninja's of the Stone Country that uses Necromancy 'The Art of Raising the dead"" she finish.

"But what happen to them…" asked Hinata.

"Well…I was there when it happen…" replied the fifth. "It was when I was still around maybe 18 years old…" she thought to herself while blushing at the time.

Naruto sweat drop "And…" he waited impatiently.

"Oh yes…well…I was in a mission with Sarutobi-sensei" she began she turn her chair around to see the pictures on the wall. "The day, the Yakuza clan was annihilated, it was a horribly sight…no one knew what happen and how they died" she explain while facing the blonde once again.

'This is the work of Yakuza-sensei…what the hell is he up too and why?" Naruto thought to himself.

"Naruto I'm sending you to this mission..." she snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Huh" he wondered.

"I want you to take four people with you…" she began while looking a list of people to pair him off with, "Shizune" yelled the fifth.

The girl with a black hair who was wearing a black gi while holding a pig in her arms. "Yes…" she replied.

"I want you to help me find these people that would help Naruto on his mission…" she began.

The blonde grinned "I'm already taking these two with me…" he said while pointing at his two students.

The Fifth's mouth drop and said, "Naruto this is a Super-A rank mission are you sure?" she asked him again.

"There just children…Naruto-kun" question Shizune.

The blonde smiled and said, "I'm sure…" and looked at his two pupils "So how bout it…"

Kohana and Jeero where happy and ran around Hinata with Excitement shouting out "Our first Mission as a Team"

Naruto chucked at the site while the fifth sighed, "Well Naruto who are the other two" she asked.

The blonde thought for a moment then spoke up in a calm voice "Hehe…I want…."

Somewhere…

There a man seems to be reading a book on Necromancy on his desk who simple turn the page "Reanimation of the Forgotten…" he said while reading the passage on the book.

"…bringing back a lost soul into a new form body by reanimating the skeletal frame…very interesting…" smirked the man "I should be able to finally complete this technique which is even more forbidden than 'Edo Tensei'" he thought to himself.

Then there was a knock on his door. "Come in!" he exclaimed who continued reading the next passage.

"Master Shichori…the Hidden Leaf Village has accepted the Feudal Lords plead." Spoke the man. His hair was braided and around his neck where three human skulls that he use as a neck list, he was also wearing an eye scope on his left eye; he was wearing hand guards with spikes on it.

"Benzo…I already know…" exclaimed the man who simple turns the page reading another passage. "Dawn of the Dead…I know this technique it was one of my first forbidden justu's that was taught to me when I was only a genin…" he chuckled about the past times he had.

"Sorry…Master Shichori…" stammered the man who simply looks down at the book. "Your Ancestor's book…the Great Yakuza Seji…" exclaimed the ninja.

"Yes…He was the one who combined Neromancy and Ninjutsu together…thus creating a clan that was soon feared throughout the nation." He replied lazily while turning the page once again.

"Master Shichori…what do you have on mind…" the ninja asked while putting his hands on his pocket.

The man look up and said, "I've send Hitomi-chan to welcome them…" smirked the man. "I hope she goes easy on them…" he spoke in calm voice.

"The child…eh?" exclaimed the ninja who only laugh and walk out the door.

"Hmmnn…I hate it when he laugh's like that" he whispered to himself to find the ninja disappear outside the door.

He flipped the page once again and chuckled to himself "Ninpou: Decaying Soil…kuku one of my favorite techniques…" he smiled cheerfully and turn the page once again.

(Note: This is the technique he uses when he decays then completely turns himself into ashes)

Meanwhile…

At the Water Country

There was a group of people five at the most walking in the forest of the Fire Country. Two kids one was a pink haired girl and the other was cocky boy. There stood next to them was a blonde ninja with something like whiskers on his cheeks followed by two behind them. One was wearing an Uchiha symbol with hands on his pockets while he was walking with his eyes close and the other was wearing a green tight suit with an open up vest with a bowl cut hair style that seems to keep smiling. Each of them is wearing back packs.

"HEY, HEY NARUTO-KUN THIS IS A SUPER A-RANK MISSION" asked the certain man.

The blonde seem's to be annoyed, "Yes! Lee! I've told you that for the 50th time already" Naruto yelled back.

Lee simply put his hands in the air with a thumbs up "Just making sure Naruto-Kun" replied the cheerful Taijutsu Master.

"Yea, yea…" that was Naruto's only reply.

Then a voice spoke up, "Naruto why did you request for us…"

The blonde turn to face the man next to him "Well…Sasuke...this mission well be good for all of us…" he began while doing his goofy grin "After this is over…you will wonder how you would survive this…" laugh the blonde.

'I recruited these two for a reason' Naruto thought to himself after taking a couple of glances at Lee and Sasuke.

Sasuke grunted then turn to see the two kids that were closed to the blonde. "Hey Naruto…why did you bring them along…" wondered the Uchiha.

"Oh…it'll be good for there training." That was the only thing Naruto said

The Uchiha continued to watch the two students of the blonde. "The young girl has the Sharingan and the young one there…I don't know why he chose him…" Sasuke thought to himself.

"Naruto-kun…" ask a certain ninja.

Naruto yelled back, "Yes! Lee! It's a Super A-Rank Mission" growled the annoyed ninja.

"Ummm…Naruto-kun I didn't finish…" replied the Taijutsu Master

"Oh" exclaimed Naruto who seems to be embarrassed.

"Well…I was meaning to ask what kind of person we are going to face." Lee asks.

"Someone very strong and very haunting…a ninja that you will never forget after you met him once." Naruto explained in a calm voice.

"Well what kind of techniques does he use?" ask the Uchiha.

Naruto was about to explain until one of his students spoke up, "Hey, yo sensei is this the place where we ride on the boat…"

The blonde turn around and said, "Yes Jeero this is the place…" he turn his head to Sasuke "I'll explain as we move on" he finish at that Sasuke nobbed.

40 minutes later while still riding in the boat.

"So Naruto…he's a ninja that uses Necromancy…" Sasuke Spat out.

"Well yeah…he's from the Yakuza-clan." He grin.

There was Lee and Naruto's two students playing go fish. "Hey…Mr. Lee…how long is this boat ride?" asked the tired pink haired girl Jeero gave the King of diamonds to Lee and said "Yeah…this is boring" he stammered.

Lee chuckled and said, "Remember to become a great Ninja you got to have patients…it will help you think and act better in the toughest situations." He spoke up while doing a good guy pose with thumbs up.

Naruto saw this and said, "Kohana, Jeero…we have about 10 more minutes before we reach the stone country. This lightens up his two pupils.

"So Naruto…have you met this man before?" ask the Uchiha who was eating an apple.

"Well yeah I have…" he said while frowning.

Flashback:

"Yakuza-sensei…where are you going tomorrows the last day of the revolution everything ends…" yelled a certain young blonde.

The man turn around and said , "Naruto-kun…you are a great ninja…stay alive to the end cause someday we will meet not simply hugs but a battle to greet a welcome…" smile the man who simply disappeared in the darkness.

Flashback ends.

"And that was the last time I ever saw him…" Naruto thought to himself then a voice broke his thoughts.

"Mr. Uzumaki we have reach the stone country…" replied the man as he parked his boat on the dock and tied a rope to it. As everyone got down Naruto paid the man an continued their way.

"Well…it'll be half an hour to reach the first village…" exclaimed Lee who was looking at his map and watch.

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets "Well let's get moving…" he said only to find a young girl a few yards in front of him.

This shocked Naruto and Lee since they didn't see the girl there earlier. "Hey little Kid, will you please move…" remarked the annoyed Uchiha.

The young girl had orange hair which was tied in a pig-tail she was wearing a blue-black outfit. She then took out a ten feet stick that was behind her and held it up with two hands.

"She's putting chakra into that stick." Wondered Sasuke then spoke up once again "Why are you in the way."

"That technique is only use for the Yakuza-clan and I haven't seen her before…" he whispered to himself he then look down at his two students. "Kohana , Jeero…Keep your guard up."

"Well, Yakuza-Sensei told me to welcome all of you to Stone Country…" she smiled cheerfully then at the front end of the stick there seems to be a cup but it started glowing until chakra was form.

"This is my Weapon…the 'Ichorid'" she smirked, her weapon became a scythe and the blade was made of pure chakra.

"Who are you…" replied Lee was looking at the girl.

"My name is Yakuza Hitomi…" she replied.
