Chapter 2: The Betrayal

It was approaching dusk in the not so sleepy town of konoha. The sun was getting lower by the minute. As wasthe lasy ninja'smotivation.

Shikamaru let out a cry of frustration as he landed on the roof of the hokage tower. He had been searching for the troublesome copy ninja Kakashi for what seemed like hours. Having lost out on valuable cloud watching time his patience was starting to wear thin.

After all he had been a Chuunin for well over 3 years now and just because the hokage's love sick personal assistant had enlisted him to catch the icha icha reader so she could do unspeakable things to him Really did make his blood boil. But still the fear of what the Shizune may do to him if he failed his not-so important mission compelled him to carry on.

"Shikamaru have you found anything yet?" called out Hinata as she landed next to him on the roof.

The shadow user shrugged as to signal to her that it was going to be a long night. "Have you had any luck?" said Shikamaru with out much hope in his voice

"I'm sorry I….I…"said Hinata with a tone of shame in her voice "I have scanned the hole town with my Byakugan. But I can't even find a trace of master Kakashi" she said twiddling her thumbs.

Shikamaru let out a grown it was times like these when it was up to him and his 200 plus I.Q. to save the day by thinking up one of the most unlikeliest of strategies to combat the problem. The only thing was he did not have a clue where to start. If Hinata had indeed scanned the hole of konoha inside and out with her most useful of bloodlines with out even finding a single clue then that could only mean one thing he simply was not within the city walls.

Realizing this he felt a large pit of dread starting to form in his stomach. He had to report this to Shizune. And she was not going to be best pleased. He gulped as he explained this to the white-eyed beauty. They both agreed it would be best to report this sooner rather then later and they descended to the ground to enter the hokage tower.

Little did they know that Shizune had already turned in for the night leaving no one but Tsunade in the building along with her rather large pile of paperwork on her table.

As the two Chuunin walked along the corridor approaching the hokage office. They could suddenly hear voices coming from inside. One of witch they could easily tell was Tsunade. The 2nd persons tone was far to low to hear it properly Shikamaru pressed his ear up against the door to try and make out what was being said.

Hinata activated her bloodline and peered inside to see who the 2nd voice was. To her surprise it was Kakashi.

(Meanwhile at the ramen stall)

Naruto had just finished slurping up what seemed to be his 58th bowl of chicken ramen.The clone userwas indeed in heaven. A week with out ramen is something that no person should ever have to suffer.

"Same again Naruto" asked the stall owner.

The Kyuubi vessel let out one of his world famous foxy grins before shouting "you bet!"

"Ok here it comes!" called out the shop owner half chuckling. As he handed the clone user his ramen .He had never known anyone to eat this much in his life. He was indeed his number one customer. I mean this kid was putting his daughter thru college.

As Naruto was munching his refilled bowl he could not help but wander how Sasuke had gotten inside his head with the power to stop the king of demons to boot. Sasuke had said something to the demon before he was interrupted.

The leaf's oldest Genin could hardly remember it now. It was all a large blur but just then it hit him a name. A name above all things was said, he did not know why but this name was important. Finishing his bowl of noodles he realized he had to tell someone the name Madara Uchiha meant something. He emptied his money out from his frog wallet to pay the store owner.

Before spurting in the direction of the hokage tower he had a horrible feeling in the back of his mind that he was already too late.

(Back at the hokage office)

"I have the mission results from yamoto it doesn't look good" said a concerned sounding Tsunade."And we also have word from Gai's team it appears that akatsuki are on the move. And Intel from one of my anbu squad's indicates they now have 5 of the tailed demons said Tsunade. now facing away from the copy ninja.

Hearing this news triggered something in Kakashi as he pondered. "In just a week they had managed to get 2 more demons. With that much power on there side…..unless we do something soon there will be no stopping them" He raised his voice as to express the importance of what he had to say. "Tsunade you know what this means don't you. It's only a matter of time till they are right on are doorstep"

"I know but we simply don't know where they are" starting to sound very disturbed.

"You should not have sent team 7 without. me from what yamoto has told me. The boy that was once my student is now as strong as a sannin" for the first time ever the copy ninja sounded like he was loosing his temper.

Tsunade raised her voice to match his level "Kakashi it would have made no difference!" Now facing him again

"I would have succeeded where yamoto failed. With my new abilities" his voice lowering some what

"Kakashi what has happened to you, ever since you achieved that power you have been different. That eyes new ability is affecting you some how" Tsunade was really worried at this point

"I'm sorry hokage………." Kakashi turned completely away his voice returned back to normal. But just as it looked like he was going to walk out the room he then suddenly removed his head band from his left eye before shouting "……for this…!"

Shikamaru and Hinata both let out a gasp as they suddenly herd a huge explosion inside the next room. Hinata witnessed most of what had happened. but was blinded at the last moment due to the large chakra level used. Shikamaru grabbed Hinata by the arm and then proceeded to kick the door down and what they sore next was pure horrific.

Hinata let out a scream in terror from what they could see kakashi's right hand was impaled directly threw Tsunade's lower abdomen, still sparking from what had clearly been a Chidori at point blank range. The wall was no more as the force of the impact completely destroyed it.

Tsunade clearly had been taken of guard her eyes widening as she realized what had happened.
