Chapter 5: Journey To The Village Of Shikigami

"Ah Naruto, I see you've changed your outfit. You really look more matured." Making the trip there would take a week to reach their destination and no transport was going to be used, as they didn't want to blow their cover. Traveling stealthily through the forest, the Hokage, along with team 7 trained and camped during the journey. During the last day of the week, they were almost out of the forest when a group of swordsmen stopped them in their path.

"Stay back, I'll handle them. Kage Bushin no Jutsu! (Shadow Clone Technique)" Clones of the 6th Hokage appeared around the whole group of swordsmen. Yagami and his clones performed one hand seals and executed another unpredictable jutsu, "Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu! (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique)" The clones transformed into puddles of water and merged to become an enormous water Dragon that flushed their opponents away. Sakura and Naruto made claps and cheering to Yagami. Finally they reached the village of Shikigami after seven days and nights in the forest.

Walking into the heart of the city, the team was greeted with many terrified and frowning faces from the locals. Even getting a room in the motel was hard as the receptionist refused to give them one, which made Naruto, reached his boiling point but Yagami held him back.

"Naruto, violence will only make the situation worse. Watch…" Yagami activated his Makekyo Sharingan and hypnotized the receptionist into thinking that the whole motel was about to collapse. Trembling in fear after seeing that horrific illusion, he handed them the key to a rather large room. Smiling to Naruto, Yagami spoke,"See, all it takes is a little magic." Putting their bags in the room, they headed out to grab a bite. Not surprised to see people staring at them when they entered the local restaurant, the waiter took their orders with much dismay. After waiting for almost half an hour, the Hokage could hear the rumbling stomachs of the three Chuunins. Yagami called for the waiter again but instead he ignored the Hokage's callings. Naruto could no longer control his temper and shouted, "Hey! Are you deaf or just plain stupid? We ordered our meals half an hour ago and it still hasn't arrived!"

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait, we're busy people." The waiter said sarcastically as Yagami calmed Naruto down. Finally the food came but before they could eat, Yagami stopped them, "Wait, the food is not safe, and there's poison powder in the soup. Waiter!"

"Yes Sir, what seems to be the problem?"

"The food is not up to our satisfaction, bring these back and make us new ones." The waiter signaled to the chef behind and replied, "Than I'm afraid you'll have to pay extra."

"Ridiculous, I haven't even touched…" The alert Hokage stopped his conversation as he caught a small knife in between his fingers. All the customers immediately left followed by the restaurant crew coming out. Yagami and team 7 stood up. "So you want to do this the hard way…" An all out brawl broke out between the shinobis and the restaurant crew. Clearing the mess, one chef from behind tried to stab the Hokage from behind, only to be alerted by Sasuke. Yagami evaded and turned around to deliver a series of rapid punches and kicks before performing 'Konoha Senpu' (Konoha Hurricane), kicking him through the roof continued by 'Kage Buyo' (Shadow Of Dancing Leaf) and ending it by performing one of his original skills, 'Zugai Hasutsu' (Skull Destroyer) grabbing his opponent's head and smashing him back into the restaurant and stopped inches away from a dinner table, only to see him wet his pants.

"So, about or meal…" The waiter stammered, "It's…on the house, take your money back, we don't need it!"

"Good." Finishing a safe meal, the group took a stroll around town. The three Chuunins had never seen Yagami performed such a devastating chain of taijutsus. Smiling back at them, he explained, " I call it 'Ryu Rendan' (Dragon Combo). Picked up a few tips from Sasuke's 'Shishi Rendan' (Lion Combo) and modified into my own. Learnt that during my 4-year absence."
