Vacation: The Farewell
(22nd October,
Sabuku Residence,
Sunagakure No Sato)
Rasa was sitting on one of the couch that was in the big hall where all of the family was present.
It was in the night that the whole of the Sabuku family along with the honored siblings and also Maki was there with Pakura as she was currently the guardian of Maki, he didn't know that one of the friend was an orphan. He looked as someone else, this time Matsuri, the girl who has a crush on his son, the youngest one of whom half of Subagakure is afraid of. She was being led by an older looking woman who looked exactly like the chibi she was leading and had an expression like she didn't believe where she was and was waiting for something to happen to them. He will let Yashmaru handle that, he was not good at making people feel at ease, maybe it was something with his face that only his wife felt at home with him. He watched as Yashmaru and Baki approached the woman with smile as they talked with her to calm her nerves whereas the little girl decided to look for her friends and as soon as she noticed that Maki, her friend and Pakura, guardian of Maki and sometime caretaker of the Kazekage siblings, she decided to leave her mother's side to talk with her freind.
Garaa who was currently in with his sibling walked out followed by Kankuro and Temari. Kankuro who have more energy then both of them and Temari who has a mean temper which Rasa believed that she inherited from their mother because even if she did not get angry easily, once angered you will happily walk in the den with the crazy tanuki who has been on hunger strike instead of going in front of her. Garaa the one who is more calm and equally dangerous, don't take his word for granted all of the kids of his were calm and collected and when trained properly in the arts of Shinobi and Kunoichi each of them will be dangerous and force to be reckon with but Garaa will be the most dangerous, as he has not only his bloodline but is also is the Jinchuriki of the One tailed Tanuki making his chakra reserves larger than normal and giving him better control over the sand and with enough training he could eventually surpass him.
Rasa watched as Matsuri's mother straightened herself. He almost sighed thinking that she was one of another people who hated Garaa and were afraid of him, but stopped himself as he closely looked at her posture. Normally people who were afraid will have a slight tremble, wouldn't be noticable to civilian but to a shinobi much less the Kage one could see it plane as a day. No her stance was one of a person who went through training in the Shinobi program, which means that she was one of the retired Kunouchi, why the retirement this early on he didn't know but could be because of several reason. He looked closely as he understood that Matsuri's mother was wary of his son, he continued to look as then Matsuri decided to be bold and took hold of Garaa's hand and brought him along with his siblings towards her mother. He was surprised that her mother didn't took her daughter aside to admonish her for holding hands with the demon of the village, well she could that when she will return to home with her daughter, but to his surprise the mother slowly loosened herself and gave a genuine smile to the five kids standing with her, even Garaa.
Rasa was lost in his musing that he almost missed the arrival of the Konoha shinobi. He then looked on as the one who actually became responsible for this meeting came striding in looking at the things in the Sabuku house in wonder. Following him were the Hokage, Kakashi and Genma. Rasa didn't know what to think of the child currently, one hand he is responsible for making his family and daily life more lively and erasing some of the walls that he somewhat unknowingly built among his family but with what happend today in the meeting he didn't know what to think. He then looked below from his room as they entered the being somewhat like Naruto greeted him with enthusiasm which he returned with similar vigor. Matsuri's mother now had her eyes widen to an epic proportion, and greeted the Kage of the leaf with stuttering and disbelief whereas The trio of the suna shinobi present along with the kids greeted them normally to which she looked perplexed as she never saw any of them greet some one of such high caliber in such a casual manner.
Rasa finally decided to reveal himself to the gathered guest in his house as he slowly came down the stairs with his Kage robes on minus the veil and the hat. "Greetings, honorable Hokage" He still kept formality in his words just because some of his shinobi got close to the konoha shinobi because the kid doesn't mean he will not show them the deserved respect. He then turned towards the Honored siblings. " To you to Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo" He then turned towards the last guest "Greeting Mrs..." he let it hang in air looking for her to complete and suddenly understanding what the leader of her village is asking of her she replied hurriedly "Himiko Himabana" "Lady Himabana, I thank you for accepting my invitation." He said with a bow.
"I-it was plea-pleasure Lord Kazekage" She said it with a bow towards the chief of the village all the while her nervous too much for her to handle and in her mind the reality was being broken the leader of the village was not only invited her for dinner in the sabuku home but was greeting her, after all he was the most feared man before Garaa in the Sand Village and was a huge stickler for rules. So seeing him somewhat casual especially in front of the leader of another village was not only a surprise but was downright terrifying for her, all the while her mind was fully trying to think of a way she would not embarrass herself in front of such prominent figures of two villages.
After having a small talk Rasa along with Yashmaru led the present guest towards the dining hall. As all of them were seated around the table Rasa noticed something all of the present company held a genuine smile on there face. Even the nervous Himiko had a smile when she started to talk to Pakura. This was the first time in last 5 years that this many especially all of the family was seated together in the dinning hall of the Sabuku estate as most the time all of them ate it in their rooms.
"So" Himiko, if he remembered the name correctly, started "How did you kids meet?" She asked while looking towards the Kids. At this even the Adults turned there heads to look at the kids. Rasa and Hiruzen both also looked at them even if they were familiar with the story, Rasa was totally floored when his youngest and eldest children decided to retell their adventure with energy that would put the green beast of Konoha to shame, which was exactly opposite of what was in their nature (finding out later that they were sugar high from Kankuro).
Naruto decided to tell them how the four of them actually met. " We met them during the Academy incident." An incident that the whole of Sunagakure will remember as it was the day most of the shinobi went back home in humiliation with what happend to them and the academy was closed to remove the smell and clean the whole of the academy. "We were trying set some things in the washroom but as none of boys were allowed in the girls washroom. So Temari decided to do it herself but it would have taken time so me and Garaa decided to get some help." "You decided to get help" Temari and Kankuro stated as they remembered thoroughly how the blonde decided to drag Garaa to get some more people to add in the prank for them, But Naruto decided to ignore them for the favour of retelling the story " So both me and Garra, went to look for some more people for help but most of them ran away as they looked at us" At this Garaa lowered his eyes a bit and Himiko eyes turned sympathetic " then we met Matsuri, I decided to talk to her and ask her if she wanted to help" "Which I agreed to" She said with pride "No, You tried to said yes but when Garaa came to talk you got red, and started stuttering, I think you had fever at that time" He said while rubbing a finger under his chin then shrugged his shoulders not noticing the similar blush on her face, knowing glance from the elders and her female freinds and confusing glance from Garaa and Kankuro who tilted their head to the side. "So I asked her if she was sick, but she shook her head and said yes. As the Temari and Matsuri decided to set those things in women washroom, Maki arrived and asked what we were doing and She and I got into a fight" "You called me grandma and uptight" "I said you acted like a grandma, but after that she decided to include herself saying that she could be fun" " I am Fun!" " And helped us made it look like more real."
"So that's how you first met" At this all six of them nodded. Rasa then decided that it was time for the kids to have fun and sent to to play. Rasa and Hiruzen along with Kakashi and Baki sat at one of the Coucb where as Pakura and Hitomi talked with each other in the kitchen as She decided to help Pakura with the dishes. Yashamaru was keeping the eyes on the kids.
"Thank you Lord Hokage" Rasa finally stated "Because of you and Naruto my family is starting to get back together." He turned towards the room where the Kids were "All of my kids are finally opening upto me and I myself can see the positive changes in all of them that is including my Shinobi. I know that when Naruto will go all of the Shinobi will be there to send him off as he knowingly or unknowingly left an impression on all of us." He then paused " You know I don't know what to think of the marriage contract that Toujuro has made, but a part of me is quiet hopeful and glad that it is Naruto and not anyone else." At this Hiruzen was a bit surprised "And why is that Lord Kazekage" Hiruzen asked.
"I don't know but I am hoping for the good of both villages and the kids with the contract. Because I can feel that a lot of hard challenges are going to rise against this generation and I am hoping for our kids to go through them." As Rasa stated that Hiruzen had a faraway look on his face.
"One could only hope for that lord Kazekage." He said with a sigh.
(23rd October
Sunagakure No Sato)
The day finally came that the Suna was waiting for, the day that the emissary from Konoha will be returning to their village. The Kids were dreading this day as it was the first time that any of them had any sort of freind, even Matsuri. During the last week most of them spend every hour with each other except for the time when they aren't sleeping. And now that one of them was going away was not something any of them wanted.
Especially for Garaa and Naruto, it was extremely hard, as both of them no freinds to begin with and were ridiculed, for both of them the people were afraid of them, Suna was now somewhat mellow regarding Garaa as the people for the first time in 6 years have seen him act like a child and also the fact that his sand is not harming the kids he is playing with is something else. Now just because they are not afraid of him does not mean they are not wary of him as such all of the Suna, Civilians and Shinobi alike, except for The Sabuku family, the elder siblings, Yashmaru, Baki and Pakura, walk around him on eggshells, believing that one wrong step will result in them becoming a red splat on the sand.
Now regarding the shinobi many of them don't know what to think of Naruto going back to his village, on o e hand they were quite happy that they won't have to deal with more of his prank and embarrassment on daily basis but on the other hand he made their daily routine a bit more lively moreover he was the reason that Garaa was not using his sand on anything that scared him or came to harm him, so yeah they were conflicted regarding Naruto's departure, except for Geru, he wholeheartedly wanted him to leave.
So here were all of them now with the Hokage with Naruto and their escorts, who were being escorted to the gates of Sunagakure by the shinobi of Suna including the Kazekage and his family the elder Suna Siblings, Baki, Pakura and Yashmaru and Matsuri and Maki. As they reached the gate all of them noticed that the children were extremely quiet. This made some of the elders worried.
As they reached the gates Hokage turned to look at the assembly that gathered there to say goodbye to them, mostly Naruto but he is going to include themselves too as it will be the first time in the Hidden Village history that almost all of the shinobi of another village came together to say there farewell to the emissaries from another village.
"Lord Kazekage"Hiruzen started while looking towards the gathered people " I thank you for the Hospitality that you have shown us during our stay, and I hope that this meeting will actually lead to the betterment of the two villages."
"It was our pleasure, Lord Hokage, and I thank you for your both from the behalf of my village and my family" Rasa looked towards his kids with a smile.
As they were saying goodbye, surprisingly Garaa came up to the Hokage with a question "Does Naruto really have to Go?" He asked in a shy voice.
"Its not something that I could give you an answer of, Young one." Hiruzen stated with a wise tone at which the kids than turned to look at Naruto with Garaa asking the question again "Do you really have to go?" At this Naruto looked at them.
"I have to" He replied "but why" this time it was Temari who asked that "Konoha is my home, you guys are awsome and are also my best and first freinds that I made, but Konoha is my home and my dream is to become the best Ninja of Konoha to become the Hokage of the Village and to do that I have to go back to village." At this the kids were all crying even Garaa and Temari and Maki. They didn't wanted one of there freinds to go away, for Naruto it was much harder since he was going back to the place where he didn't had a single freind but this time it is going to be different he learned a lot of things with this vacation that he could use back in Konoha one of the things that he learned was that it was much more fun to prank people with freinds than alone. So Naruto decided what he was going to do.
"Hey guys" Naruto Started "Let's make a promise" he looked at the five of them "That the six of us are going to be the best Ninja in all of the elemental nation and will train till the next time we meet." "And the next time we meet all of us are going to be stronger and Ninjas in training and by that time we are going to have much better and cooler techniques than you" Kankuro said as he wipes his tears "You wish make up boy" "Its a war paint" During there stay the kids have noticed that Kankuro most of time covers his face with some kind of make-up or color and call it war paint.
"He is right I am going to learn better wind moves than yours" This time it was Temari who said that.
"No" Garaa interrupted with a quiet voice "I am going to be better than all of you." And with that all six of them were back to their usual self each of them declaring to be better than the other. And with the Konoha emissaries departed from the Village hidden in the Sands as the Hokage now had only one thing to dread, the Political problems that are now going to rise in Konoha.
(Land of the Demon)
"Hiya" *clang* *bam*
"Again"
It's been 3 days since Erza had woken up from her comatose state in the Uzumaki Household, she after sitting in the bed for a day decided to help around the house, at first the matriarch of the house was not too much keen on letting her work but after seeing that she was being extremely stubborn allowed her to do the small work around the house. But today was different as Kenshirou decided that both Erza and him needed to train. And that's now where they are with Erza on the ground her sword a few feet away from her and Kenshirou pointing his katana at her.
Erza and Kenshirou were in an open ground with Miyoko further away from them so that the repeat of last time do not occur with Erza flinging her swords at him. But as both of them decided to keep to strictly sword fighting it was not that much required.
"Why can't I land a hit on you" Erza yelled in frustration, she was frustrated as from the beginning of the battle she was kept on her toes by an old man and she has yet to land a hit on him and the worst part was that she believed he was not going all out, he was holding back.
"Because you are distracted." Came the simple reply "You are distracted from the beginning, you openly ignored some of the openings that I left for you but you ignored them. And as much interesting as your ability is to summon various weapons it will not help you in battle while your attention is somewhere else." And he was right from the beginning of the battle she had been distracted with most of her attention being on her freind, she knew that alongside her both Natsu and Happy were here too with Zeref and Acnologia and she was afraid for her freind and if he was alright. "You are a good swordswomen" Kenshirou stated "But you are awfully limited with your weapons only and not only that but it drains you very quickly too." Again true because for some reason she had been able to still summon her weapons but it took awfull lot of strength and Magical power out of her "Also you don't know any jutsu to help you in the battle against me." And that was true too something that she learned was that this world has chakra which helps the human living here to do variety of techniques which they call jutsu. So now here was she now lying down as she contemplating her life and some of the choices that she had made and her thoughts again went back to her freinds.
As she was thinking about her freinds her attention went back to the couple that was hosting her the woman, Miyoko went back towards the house to prepare for dinner leaving both her and Kenshirou, "I know that you are worried about your freinds but you can't let it effect you to the degree that you wouldn't be able to help both yourself and your freind" Kenshirou said and she knew he was right, she have been at this position several times when battles and fight takes a severe toll on her emotional state she becomes distracted and it once cost the life of her childhood freind but she knew she had to do it to train for her family and at that moment she knew what she had to do to help her freind.
"Train me" Whatever Kenshirou was going to say next was stopped in his mouth as he looked at the girl in front of him.
"What?"
"I want you to train me" Erza stated "I want to help my freinds and to do that I may have to fight several people and I don't know how much strong that guy has gotten and to match them in combat I have to train so please train me in your arts." Kenshirou noticed that her request was genuine and she really wanted to learn. He knew that she really wanted to learn and sending her out in the world of shinobi was not good and so he decided.
"Be ready in the morning" He said while turning back to the place to where his wife went "Your training will start 7 in the morning." At this Erza looked back up to see that he was going back to the house. A smile broke into her face knowing that she will now be able to get stronger to help Natsu and then followed her back to the house.
(Konohagakure No Sato
Root HQ)
Danzo hasn't been in a very good mood one would say in the past 10 days as the Hokage who decided to leave most of the power of the village to the idiots of the clan. He was not in a good mood because his root shinobi were unable to follow because of the Uzumaki kid, he was annoyed because he was unable to learn fully about what the fourth Hokage along with his wife has left for their legacy and there several other things that he was annoyed about.
But right now, right now he was pissed, why, because he was learning that the Uzumaki brat has some kind of bloodline from a letter from the daimyo of the Fire Nation which he received from the council of Hidden Sand Village, the thing that aggravates him the most was that someone or more specifically another Nation knew about the bloodline that belonged to Konoha before him, the overall situation wasn't bad but that particular thing went deep under his skin, it wasn't that he could not use it in his favour it was that right now the amount of influence he could have was now very low 'But it actually could be used in my favour' he thought while smiling in the dark 'No, it is going to be in the favor of Konoha' as he begun to plan how he could use it in his favor with a devious smile that kept on playing on his face.
(Land of Honey)
The Land of Honey one of the Nation of the elemental Nation, considered to be quiet a peaceful nation and like the land of Iron is sometime used as a place for political talks of the daimyo of various nation. It is a neutral country in the shinobi wars but do have a vast army one of the major reason not many try to go against this nation as they do hire the shinobi villages from time to time but do not involve themselves in their wars.
Near the forest of one of the town in the Land of Honey there is a man meditating on top of a rock. He had jet black hair and was wearing beige pants and black shirt as a white toga was draped over him, there was a pendant around his neck. Around him laid several dead bodies of animals who tried to attack the human that was sitting in the open and there was no greenery around him as if the whole was just dead. This man was Zeref a human cursed by Ankhseram and can kill everything in his sorrounding. He slowly opened his eyes to see his sorrounding and the dead creatures around him. As kept up his observation he noticed that out of one of the dead trees a brown creature with round face with a crown made of leaves covering his head, the eyes of the creature was white and had smile on his face showing the whole of teeth or if they are teeth. This creature also had a big tail which was pointed at the end and was draped with a Cape held around his neck with a purple button. This creature was an Obra familiar of Zeref and mostly sneak around the places to get information for him. And right now he had a lot of information that he gathered with the help of Obra which he stored at the place that is in the middle of the forest, and he knew who else was here and who was going to be.
He landed here around 600 years ago weak and injured where a group of human found him and took care of him, most surprising fact was that nobody died during that time and for the first time in his whole life that he had lived after death of Mavis he felt something that he had lost, he felt hope, hope that he could finally die, hope that he could live freely without having to fear to kill anything accidentally. But it was all for naught as he found out that curse didn't broke and he again killed everything around him. But this time it happened from time to time.
"It happened again huh" he said while looking around." Even when I am away from his realm I am still cursed." He then turned around and looked a the little creature who now climbing on top him. He observed as the little creature slowly reached his shoulder and looked towards him with his pale white round eyes and smile. Obra was first thing he created using his magic in this place to get information as he learned quite early on that in this world information is much more valuable than wealth. He learned about the energy that moves in this world, he learned that if he trained himself properly than he could use both chakra and Magic of his world. He learned about the Shinobi, their wars, clans, bloodlines everything that he could learn while he was here. He then turned his full attention toward the Obra.
"You have some information for me" the Obra nodded its head while looking at its master. "Well then let's see what have found?"
(Land of Mountains)
Mountain Nation, a nation that got its name due to the various mountain peaks that are here there was once a village that was deep within the mountains but was wiped out during the second shinobi world war.
We see a group of people that were draped with black robes with red clouds on it climbing up a mountain towards one of the caves. The group was being led by two people one was quiet pale with golden eyes and slits for pupil and wore the same robe as the rest of the group.
The other person was hunched over and wore a straw hat, he had brown skin and was the one leading the group.
"Can you tell me again why are we here, Sasori?" The man with the pale skin asked the guy that was hunched over.
"Zetsu has found some information, Orochimaru" Sasori stated "He had heard about something that is lurking in this mountain which is quiet dangerous and is on par with the tailed beasts." Orochimaru pondered on it for few minutes before talking again, "and can you tell me from where had he gathered this information from."
Sasori stopped walking for a moment before resuming it "He says that he heard few businessmen in Amegakure talking about something here that killed several of the people that came with them here to collect some resources for the boon of their business." As he stated that Orochimaru looked at him as if someone has taken his favourite experiment from him.
"Wait let me just understand it correctly" He started "You, a guy who believes in information that you yourself gathered, decided to go trekking because of a half baked rumour about this place. You do know the amount of rumours that here regarding this village"
"Its not just about the rumours, Orochimaru" Sasori started "We all know that the Heat Haze Village was wiped out, but noone know who did it, yes your former sensei and teammate along with their shinobi did fought the village but no one knew how it was wiped out only that one moment there was a village and another there was a huge crater in place of that village, right?" At this Orochimaru nodded his head "Also if there is something like that here that is strong, he Pein wants us to see that if there is something like that over here than to check if it is something that will stand in the way of Akatsuki or not." "So that's what he want." As they kept on walking towards the cave "So what do we do after we check this cave, you do remember that it is the tenth cave that we are going to check." "Yes, I do Orachimaru" He calmly replied.
Soon all of the group reached the cave and went inside the cave to look for the beast that has been told about in the rumour.
"So any ideas what are we looking for?" One of the members of the group asked the leaders. "Nobody knows what we are looking for except for something that has been responsible for killing many people, shinobi included, that went here." Was the kurt reply of one of the members.
As they went inside the cave they all found out several tunnels that were inside the cave.
"Look like we have to split up" Sasori stated while looking at the several caves that were inside it, as soon as he said it Orochimaru divided the themselves in the group of two to go into the tunnels and the the tunnels that were left, for them he created shadow clones, with the tunnels now being covered by each member of the group. As all of them went deeper into the the caves with each of them having there own opinion of what they might find deep inside the cave.
Sasori and Orochimaru were having their own conversation as they kept on walking deeper in the cave "Do you know the exact reason as to why Pein have send us to this place, because I don't think he would actually care about what some businessmen has to do with Akatsuki." Sasori sighed but talked anyway "This place the Land Of Mountain is quiet a famous place not just because of the rumours but also for something else." He paused for a moment than continued again "The mountain and the caves and valleys of the Land of Mountain aso house most of the Chakra metal along with several other crystals one would use. Many business that is supposed to provide the shinobi with chakra weapons are made from the metal of this place, and because of the recent attacks on the buisnessmen the chakra metal has depleted which means the weapons that several shinobi use are depleted which is not good especially for Akatsuki because right now we need as much resources as we could gather."
"I understand what you are saying" Orochimaru started "But wouldn't it be better to change the location for the mining from this exact location to somewhere else, I mean the land of Mountain is a big place so there is plenty of place to dig around."
"You are right Orochimaru." Sasori stated "but this exact location also produce the chakra metal with higher concentration."
"You mean that the chakra metal from this place is much purer and stronger than the rest of the places." At seeing Sasori nod he understood why they were here, he then suddenly jerked his head as one of the clone dispelled himself to send the information it gathered. "What happend ?" Sasori "Oh nothing just one of the clone dispelled themself to pass on the information." "And what did they find?" "That all of the caves are connecting at one point or another" and true to his words all of the member of the group began to meet at some point till all of them were gathered together at one place with only two exit one that was in the front and one that was in the back from where they came back.
Before anyone could say anything Sasori went inside to see what was in there and what was inside was a sight to behold. Inside on the walls of the mountain was covered with Crystal's and chakra conductive ores. It was if the whole place was saturated in it. As the everyone of them looking around in wonder. Even Sasori and Orochimaru were perplexed as they were able to feel the natural chakra that was flowing through this place.
As all of them were looking around the place one of the member looked around and stumbled and started to pick himself and stopped as he tried to pick himself up and after his sudden halt rest of the group looked towards what he was looking at and bo sooner their eyes went above their hairline, mouth went wide and color went a quiet pale.
What they were looking at was a small river that flows towards an underground pond. But it was not the pond they were looking at, it was what next to the pond that made them loose their shit.
Next to the pond was a a giant figure of a dragon, it had a round face, with four large backwards elongated scale plates the dragon was covered in black scales with blue markings all over it. Its claws were big but what was making them quiet terrified was the pair of giant white beady eyes that was now glaring at them for disturbing its slumber. This was the black dragon of apocalypse, dragon king Acnologia, not that the little humans in front of him knows about it because right now the only thing going through their collective mind was one word 'shit' all of them thought simultaneously.
Acnologia started to lift his head slowly seeing that Sasori gave one command after which everything went to hell. "Every one run towards the exit!" Sasori commanded as he himself turned back to run and slowly every single one of them high tailed out of there not before Acnologia reared his head back to tell them they can't hide from him.
