Chapter 5

Yonbi no Soukou...Dangerous but Beautiful Kumo

After days of traveling, Naruto and Jiraiya finally reached the entrance of Kumo, not the capital, just another village. Naruto was grumbling on and on about how he didn't want to go there and Jiraiya was constantly telling him to shut the hell up and do what your sensei says. Now, at the gates of Kumo the guards eyed them. Both Jiraiya and Naruto sweatdropped and hoped they could get in the city. In an instant the guards attacked them and called for backup.

"They're from Konoha, get the boss," yelled one guy. As soon as that was said a large ugly man walked out of the gates.

"They're not Hyuugas, so what is the big deal," said one guy. Naruto and Jiraiya exchanged nervous glances. Shit.

"Still they're from Konoha, they might be of use," said the boss, "Go after them fools!" Naruto was going to unleash Kage Bunshin, but Jiraiya grabbed him and started running.

"ERO-SENNIN WHY ARE WE RUNNING FROM A FIGHT!"

"BAKA, IF WE FIGHT THEM AND BEAT TEM UP IT'LL START ANOTHER WAR!" Naruto growled and got loose of Jiraiya and ran on his own. Just then both of them ran straight into a boy no older than Naruto, wearing a Kumo ninja headband. He wore traditional ninja garb and had green hair/eyes. He got up from the floor and saw the mob coming.

"Follow me, by the way I'm Ringo" he said. Naruto and Jiraiya looked behind them and had no choice to go. Ringo led them to a underground base that no one could get into.

"Thanks," said Naruto.

"You're from Konoha that's why they chased you. Some people are still after the Hyuuga's Byakugan and maybe thought they could use you guys for a trade," said Ringo, taking off his shoes and sitting on his couch.

"WHAT? They can't go after the Byakugan, I won't let them," said Naruto, declaring. Jiraiya whacked Naruto. "Because I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"

"It's not our business. Plus I know Hinata and Neji are your friends, but they can take care of themselves now," said Jiraiya, "I'm Jiraiya-sama by the way Ringo-kun." Naruto glared at the man.

"Wait, Hyuuga Hinata the heiress and her protector Hyuuga Neji of the Branch Family you know them," asked Ringo.

"Yeah, and your point?"

"How strong are they really? Because the people after them are quite strong," said Ringo.

"Neji is really strong and so is Hinata, even though she is sort of weird," said Naruto, "They can hold their own, but still I want to help them."

"Ringo, do you know something that you can't tell us," asked Jiraiya. Ringo sighed and shook his head.

"I have a mission to kidnap Hyuuga Hinata and kill Hyuuga Neji with two other guys that were chasing you. I don't see why they need the Byakugan, Kumo nin have plenty good Kekkai Genkai here," said Ringo.

"So, you don't want to go on the mission?"

"I don't. They only need me because of something," said Ringo.

"A demon perhaps," asked Jiraiya, knowing full well who he was.

"Uh, I-I have no-o i-idea what you're talking-g a-about," stuttered Ringo.

"Let me guess, Yonbi no Soukou," said Jiraiya.

"Ehhhh?"

"Yep, it has to be. He sounding like Hinata, when she's talking to me," said Naruto. One moment Ringo was talking normally than when confronted with the topic of a demon, he freaks. Jiraiya hit his head in frustration. Dense as a rock, that boy is. Meanwhile, Kyuubi was talking to Naruto.

'Kit, that's Soukou's container. I can tell, he acts like him.'

'An all powerful demon, is like that.'

'Soukou is a bit weird but alright.'

'Then how should I talk to this guy.'

'I don't know. Soukou was never nervous around me and the others. You should know how, since that Hyuuga girl is like that.'

'No, I don't I try not to talk too much to her so I don't scare her.'

'Baka'

"Naruto. Naruto! NARUTO," yelled Jiraiya to get his attention.

"What," complained Naruto.

"Stop spacing out,"

"Shut it,"

"Uh, how did you know about Yonbi," asked Ringo. Jiraiya nudged Naruto to tell.

"I contain Kyuubi no Yoko,"

"Kyuubi, so that's the guy Soukou always talks about," said Ringo. Naruto stared at the guy.

'Did I mention that Soukou admires me?'

Naruto face faulted and said, "Really, I didn't know."

"Well, since it's around dinner time I make some ramen and stuff," said Ringo going to the kitchen. Naruto shrugged and got hit in the head with a scroll. He groaned and opened it.

'YONBI NO SOUKOU

Yonbi no Soukou is a four tailed cockatrice, with the upper half a serpent and the lower half a rooster. He does not walk, but crawls. He is the nicest demon out of all of them. Soukou admires Kyuubi and Nekomata. Soukou has control over plants, much like the silver kitsunes, but more powerful.

Jiraiya'

"Dinner is finished," yelled Ringo. Naruto ran to the kitchen to eat. Jiraiya sighed and followed after.

After dinner, the three guys discussed Ringo's mission. Ringo told them that he has a plan that will work. He has to leave tomorrow, so he'll be away for a few days and is allowing Naruto and Jiraiya to stay at his hideout.

"So, Hinata and Neji will be safe right," asked Naruto for the umteenth time. Ringo nearly growled a yes and was on his way.

"I hope this plan works," said Jiraiya, silently.

"It'll will I'm sure of it," said Naruto.

Now, with Ringo after traveling two days with two buffoons (his team) he arrived near Konoha. And luck or whatever has it, Hinata and Neji were training/sparring in the forest just outside Konoha. Well, here it goes thought Ringo. The two that are not even worth naming attacked the two Hyuugas, without realizing they had the Byakugan on. Ringo was in their blind spots as noted. He waited until his teammates were out cold.

"Hinata-sama, we better report these two to Hokage-sama," said Neji.

"Wait, Neji-niisan I saw someone else,"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes,"

Neji moved around and inspected the area and found the spot Ringo was in. Neji nodded to Hinata and both threw kunai at the spot. Ringo dodged it and came out.

"Uh, wait don't attack. Just give me my teammates back," said Ringo.

"Kumo-nin," said Neji with distaste.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. This favor is for Naruto," said Ringo, knowing they wouldn't attack him if he mentioned Naruto.

"Naruto/Naruto-kun," said Hinata and Neji.

"Yeah, he told me not to kill Neji and capture Hinata," said Ringo, "I didn't want to anyway."

"Wait, what the hell is Naruto doing in Kumo," asked Neji.

"He is not in Kumo, just in my underground base," said Ringo.

"Is h-he alright," asked Hinata.

"Naruto is fine, just a bit hyperactive," said Ringo, picking up his two teammates, "Tell your Hokage-sama. Oh by the way Naruto wanted me to tell you that when he comes back he wants to fight you, Neji again and like to spar with Hinata. Bye." Ringo disappeared and left two confused Hyuugas.

"Well, let's go Hinata-sama," said Neji. Hinata nodded and both left for Hokage Tower.

A few days later, Ringo was back and Naruto was talking Ringo's ear off. Naruto asked questions and such about the two Hyuugas. Ringo answered them patiently, while Jiraiya watched with visible amusement. Naruto and Ringo sparred the next day with ringo the winner, because he had more experience being a Jounin as Naruto claimed. One night Ringo woke up Naruto and Jiraiya, but he wasn't normal. His hair stayed the same but his eyes turned a creepy yellow.

"Soukou?"

"Yes,"

"Whatta want," asked Naruto, still half asleep.

"One that you stop talking so much and to thank you for being Ringo's friend, he was quite lonely before," said a demon possessed Ringo.

"Er, you're welcome," said Naruto, unsure. Then, Ringo passed out. Jiraiya picked him and put him back to bed.

About a month and more later, Naruto and Jiraiya had to be on their way to the next town. Ringo packed them some food for the road and promised to get stronger to beat Naruto again. The next stop for them is Kirigakure no Sato in the Water Country. Naruto left wondering what those two messages from Itachi meant. Jiraiya, however, was depressed that he got no research done for the next Icha Icha .

"Uh, we have to take a boat," complained Naruto.

"It's the fastest way baka," said Jiraiya, boarding the ship. Naruto followed. "Naruto you don't get sea sick do you?"

"No, I just don't like boats," said Naruto, sitting in a chair on deck.

"Oh Kami another long trip," said Jiraiya.
