Chapter 4
Espionage
"Aw man! Do we have to wear these?" Naruto with a face holding up a tacky red dress shirt with collars some black shorts and sneakers, asks the white haired jounin.
"Yes Naruto! Unless you want to be identified by the stone nin's and killed on the spot. It's your choice" Kakashi replied
"Fine"
"Kakashi sensei, how long will it take us to the border?" Sakura asked
"Well…It takes at least 5 days from here to the border. However once we get to the border we need code-names, because the enemy could identify us if they manage to hear us calling each other by our real names." Kakashi replied
"I think Tsunade sama, should have given us better clothes." Sakura replied she was wearing a tacky short pink skirt with a small T-Shirt blue and pink.
"Well I don't like these clothes anymore than you do but we have no choice" Kakashi replied. He wore a gray jacket with overalls, boots, and a red T-Shirt. He also wears a pair of black sunglasses to cover his eyes.
"All right is everyone ready?" Kakashi asks the two Jounins
"Yes" they both reply at once
"Alrighty then..Lets Go!"
"Yeah!"
Meanwhile…….. After six more hours, Shikamaru and the others arrive at redflower fortress. The fortress was gigantic. With its twenty foot high wall and forty-five foot towers, it amazed them that the stone nin's could do so much damage. The walls were cracked and giant holes were all over the place and three of the 8 towers were literally destroyed, and there were massive craters everywhere. They reach the massive gates where two leaf nin's are guarding the gates.
"Halt! Who goes there?" Asked the leaf nin
"Jounin's.. Nara Shikamaru, Inazuka Kiba, Akamachi Chouji, and Rock Lee! We were sent by the Godaime to assist in defending redflower fortress!" Shikamaru replied
"Okay! Open The Gates!" the leaf guard commanded. Instantly the gigantic gate opened up and the 4 jounin's entered. The leaf nin commander in charge of the fortress comes out to greet them.
"Welcome to Redflower Fortress!" The commander told the jounin's
"What is the situation?" Shikamaru asked
"Well the stone nin's have been constantly beating at our wall day and night for a week now. However they suddenly stopped attacking last night and everyone here believes they either retreated or are planning a massive surprise attack" The leaf commander replied
"Roger! How are the provisions holding up?" Shikamaru asked
"We have enough food for 2 more weeks then we will be out"
"Lee!"
"Yes?" Lee replied. Lee had certainly grew as tall as gai. He also wore green spandex and had his hatai-ate on his waist. He dressed exactly as his idol gai. He also was a great taijutsu specialist.
"Since you are the fastest out of all of us.. Run to the nearest town and get some more supplies. Here is some money Tsunade gave us for the provisions"
"Roger!" With that Lee speed off in a blinding blur
Meanwhile on the other side a messenger from the Tsuchikage himself delivers the a message to Raidyu. Raidyu reads the message and in a fit of rage at the contents of the note yells.
"Damn Him! How can he ask me to pull out, after all the men sacrificed and also the death of Dokudo?" He shouted so loudly everyone was startled
"Because the Tsuchikage has decided to assassinate the Godaime of Konoha instead of losing more soldiers and weakening the village hidden in stone" the messenger replied. "You know if you disobey the Tsuchikage you will be killed" The messenger warned
"Very well… Everyone pack up and prepare to move out!" Raidyu commanded. Everyone obeyed and began to pack up and move out. Raidyu throws a kunai with a note to the guards at the gates of redflower. The message reads…
"For now we are retreating, That doesn't mean we lost or you defeated us. However we will be back to finish you off later and avenge the death of Dokudo. The next time we meet everyone one of you will be put to Death and no survivors will be left. We will also be four times the strength, so be prepared for the worst and pray for luck because when we get through with all of you, you will need it!"
The leaf guards read the note and hands it to the commander. Who opens it up and reads it. He crumples the paper and throws it aside.
"Cowards" He though to himself
3 hours later Lee comes back(the nearest village is 30 miles away) out of breath from running so hard while pulling a cartload of food, clothes, medicine and other supplies. He arrives at the fortress and collapses on the ground.
"I'm back!" he immediately pops back up however and does his nice guy pose.
Naruto, Sakura, And Kakshi have begun to travel to the stone country. Meanwhile on the outskirts of the hidden grass pass. The Atsuki after years of silence begins to operate once again.
"Itachi!" A cold voice yells for the Uchiha, who killed off his entire clan in cold blood leaving only his brother to live.
"What?" He replies coldly
"Don't give me that tone boy!" The cold voice replied.
"You know what? Everyone here including me are tired of your leadership. I will take over and lead the Atsuki to capture the kyubbi and shukaku.
"What!" the voice screamed. Itachi approaches the ex-leader and uses his mengokyu sharingan and destroyes the ex leaders mind using Tsukyomi a deadly move only an Uchiha with the sharingan can defeat. He then takes Kisame's samehada and shreds him to tiny pieces and throws the remains in a river.
"Now Go out and gather intelligence on the Kyuubi and Shukaku! Or you will end up as Sarupoku!" He tells the surviving members of the Atsuki. "Don't forget to also keep a watch on Orichimaru and Sasuke" he adds a final note. They instantly take off not wanting to end up as Sarupoku.
Back in Konoha, Tsunade is filling out more paper work, while taking a drink of coffee. Hinata enters and gives Tsunade a chilling paper.
"Is this Accurate?" Tsunade asked the Hyuga
"Yes Tsunade sama, our anbu have confirmed that Orichimaru and Sasuke have resumed their activities, the Atsuki have also been seen moving all over the countries from village to village"
"Tell Shizune to locate and contact Jiraiya immediately!" Tsunade orders
"Yes Tsunade sama" She rushes out to give the message to Shizune.
In a dense forest near the Konoha a small skirmish has begun.
"Razor Sound blast no Jutsu!" a sound nin shouts. The leaf nin's dodge it and performs a few handseals while shouting.
"Katon Raizuku Godaiyu No Jutsu!(Fire Style: Ultra Infernal Fire Blast), which instantly scorches the 4 sound nins.
"Shit! We better get out of here and report to Tsunade sama immediately, before more sound nin's come and attack us."
"I agree also, lets go!" They both speed off to inform the Godaime.
"Outside the palace of the Tsuchikage. 10 Stone nin's dressed in black, brown, grey armor, with metal helmets with visors to cover their face prepare to move out and kill the Godaime. They are armed with a veriety of weapons, Katanas, Shirukens, Kunai's, poison darts, smoke bombs, and small portable axes. The Tsuchikage comes out to give a final order to the Assassins and also a warning.
"You are to go to Konoha and kill the Godaime. However if you are caught I will not be able to save you. Also if you return here and fail to kill her, I will personally kill you myself and hang your bodies in the center of the village for all to see the price of failure, do you understand?" He asked the assassins
"Yes Tsuchikage sama!" They reply in unison. They finally move out for Konoha. Their target Tsunade or the "Godaime".
"what! Orichimaru has sent a couple of sound nin's on reconnaissance?"
"Yes Itachi sama. I saw 6 leaf jounin's kill them. Orichimaru has begun to move" The messenger replied
"Very well keep an eye on him. The time is drawing closer, and when it comes I will personally kill Orichimaru and Sasuke" Itachi tells himself and laughs maniacally.
