'..Yami..' Naruto thought a little taken back by his cold demeanor with Sakura looking a bit unsure about the whole arrangements.
"Anyway ... since we're going to be deploying almost immediately...
we really don't have time to socialize ...so um...why don't you guys go ahead and introduce yourself" said Yamato
"No need Captain Yamato I already know who my teammates are ...
...Uzumaki Naruto ..and ..
..Haruno Sakura.." said Yami while looking straight into both their eyes when he said their names , with both them expressing their shock on their faces.
"Right...now that that's over with ...let me explain our mission..."Yamato stopped so Yami could stand next to his 2 teammates
"The four of us will head to Tenchi bridge...capture the Akatsuki spy...
'Which is Kabuto ...with Danzo already flushing out the likely suspect who works closest to Orochimaru 'Yami thought
..who has infiltrated Orochimaru's organisation and bring him or her back " Yamato continued to explained
"This is our best chance ..to gain intelligence on Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke ... information we can then use to plan Orochimaru assassination...and Sasuke's retrieval...
So keep that in mind !"
"As soon as everyone's gear is all packed ... rendezvous the main gate then we shall depart"
"So ...what do you think about our new teammate "Sakura questioned Naruto walking next to her.
"Well there's not much to say , he does have that whole cold personality going on " he replied while thinking back to the interaction they had which wasn't much.
"I know but ...there is something familiar about him ...his eyes and his voice..they kind of remind me of Sasuke"
"Urghhh why did old lady Tsunade go and put some guy on our team we don't even know .. Team Kakashi is fine with just the three of us " Naruto exclaimed irritated
Gathering his things as he packed them in his traveling bag " What do you want? " Yami said seemingly to no one as he continue packing his bag.
"It would seem lord Danzo made the right choice " a figure wearing a white cloak and white mask appeared before him.
"There's a reason why I'm lord Danzo's weapon...now what are you here for "he replied unbothered by the Anbu standing Infront of him.
"eh.. here from lord Danzo ...your top secret mission" he said as he reached into his cloak and handed over the file containing the documents.
"Listen this secret mission you are on..is directed by lord Danzo the future of Konoha depends upon your success " he stopped suddenly, hearing a sound and quickly hid .
"...just a cat...in any case .. mistakes will not be tolerated " he said after shooing it away
"I don't make mistakes " Yami replied
" Eh ...it seems you got everything in order I'll leave you to it then " the Anbu figure said before leaving.
The Hokage office
"So it's like that huh ...Naruto will just have to accept it how it is ..well it can't be helped you'll just have to keep Naruto on an even shorter leash" said Tsunade
"I promise I will try but ..." as Sakura was cut of by someone knocking on the door.
"Enter!" Tsunade exclaimed
'Who's he ' Sakura thought
"Danzo ...what is it" Tsunade questioned
"Were you able to assign ...a distinguished Black-ops operative to lead Yami's Team ... Princess Tsunade " he questioned
" I have selected an exemplary shinobi...with experience from as far as the Third Hokage's rule." she replied
"...Very well..I just hope he's not rooted to deeply in the pacifist teachings pushover Sarutobi "
"Humph" Tsunade said with clear annoyance on her face
"Just as the Third Hokage was rooted... in the teachings of your grandfather"
Hard stares were exchanged between the 2 for a moment before Danzo continued
"In any case I am relieved, now if you'll excuse me
..Princess.." he said as he walked out of the office
" Um who was that " Sakura asked her master
The Hokage sign as she spoke " Someone who long ago competed with the late Master Sarutobi...over the seat of the Third Hokage..his name is Danzo ..and he's the leader of a hard-line martial faction on rigid principles..he's also Yami's superior.
As a student of the moderate Third Hokage..and granddaughter of the First Hokage he actively despises me, anyway it's been almost an hour Sakura "
"Yes ma'am..time to go.."
At the gates
With all four arriving in time at the gate Yamato exclaimed " Okay people..this is it..GO TEAM KAKASHI!"
