IMPORTANT: I want to apologize for not updating in so long. Classes just started up again and so school has me kinda tied up and then I had to rewrite this chapter four times to get it going in a way I felt comfortable. Anyway, I want you all to know I AM NOT giving up on this story. I really want to see it through it will just take some time due to classes etc. Also I'm sorry to disappoint but I decided not to really focus on the month of training. I will insert the basic stuff that went down during the month but next chapter I will use flashbacks with Kushina and Itachi on how they trained Yakumo and Sasuke. Hope you enjoy.
AnimeKing211: Yeah the twins want to bring Naruto down but they also want the world to worship them as if they are gods. Appreciate the review.
UnsanMusho: At this point Kushina is trying to avoid the obvious that Menma and Narumi are pretty much sold in becoming evil. Thanks for the review.
PinkiePieParty122894: I think I have your username completely memorized by now. I really appreciate the continued support and it really helps to know that you are enjoying the story. I hope that it continues to be enjoyable.
Aclux: I'll be honest I had to read your comment a couple of times over because at first I thought you were hoping I got kicked in the jewels but then realized that you were talking about Jiraiya. As for putting the twins down, unfortunately they become an actual threat later on so they don't die. Yet. Thanks for reviewing.
Natzo: You brought up a lot of questions about Minato that I hadn't even considered and honestly it might affect how I handle the twins' departure. The twins haven't been influenced by the Kyuubi, it's mainly just two brats with giant egos because of years of being spoiled. Now everything is changing and they aren't getting as much attention. They are just evil. Hope you are liking it and thanks for the comment.
Animaman: Sorry about this but I decided not to go into Naruto's month of training very much but there is a family conversation in the beginning of the chapter. Naruto will eventually learn more sword techniques as he still has to master the techniques from the past swordsmen. Naruto will meet Orochimaru in a calm setting later on but he didn't help Naruto in preparation for the exam. Appreciate the support.
ratedn777: I'm sorry to say that they do leave. At the moment Naruto is so much stronger than the twins that they really don't factor into the story except for being whiny little kids who want their brother dead but can't do anything. I want them to be an actual threat so they have to leave if they want the world to worship them again. Thanks for the review.
raw666: Not sure whether you meant what's happening in the story or the story itself for going well or poorly but I hope you like this chapter. Thank you for the review. I'm glad that it's been entertaining to you so far.
777torn777: The kages are still way ahead of the other genin. Naruto at the moment could only beat Itachi at night when the moon is out but that's because his power skyrockets at that point. I'm glad you liked the last chapter.
sd74: I haven't decided on how Naruto and Levios combined will look like but those are great ideas and it's most likely the direction I'll go in. As for the twins being pawns, you have no idea. Konan will help out Naruto and Sera isn't the 10 tailed jinchuriki but someone in the story is and you'll find out who soon. Thanks for the review I appreciate it.
MrSunshine744: I'm glad you liked last chapter and I hope that you like this one as well. Unfortunately you won't get to see the dram that unfolded until next chapter sorry. But there will be continued drama even after the chunin exams so there won't be a shortage.
Banjo the Fox: Glad you liked the chapter hopefully it will continue to entertain.
Sharkboybeast: Yeah early on I really kind of rushed it and it still is fast paced in my opinion but I think I've gotten it down to an acceptable speed or at least I hope.
Gammagyro: Later on Yakumo will get more territorial over Naruto sometimes in a fun way sometimes in a "I will destroy you" way. The heart attacks and other physical injuries due to genjutsu will appear a little later on and be emphasized in the Kiri arc that occurs soon. Yakumo will also eventually see Kushina as a mother and due to certain events that occur with the twins, Kushina will see her as a daughter almost. Thanks for the support and the ideas.
zeldawolffang: It's just how I wrote it. This is only my second story that I've written ever so I'm not the best at formatting. Glad you like the story though.
(Chunin Exam Finals Arena)
Minato sat in the kage box next to his wife. Also seated in the box was Kumo's Raikage A, Iwa's Tsuchikage Onoki, Suna's Kazekage Rasa, and Killer Bee the jinchuriki of the eight tails from Kumo. Minato sat reminiscing about the past month while the audience continued to file in. One memory in particular continuously resurfaced into his thoughts.
(Flashback)
Minato stood with his wife in the living room of their home. Also in the room were Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, and of course Narumi and Menma. Minato decided to speak first. "Ever since the two of you became ninja, your mother and Kakashi have witnessed you both become increasingly unstable. Willing to leave a comrade behind, proud of putting a teammate in the hospital, saying that you want your own brother dead! When you put those headbands on, when you wear that symbol, you represent all of the greatest heroes of Konoha to do so. Instead of finding strength through your team and fighting to protect, you have decided to fight for yourselves and have developed some kind of superiority complex that I can't explain. You both have completely disregarded the Will of Fire. As Hokage I cannot allow this in my ninja corps, so I have suspended your ninja licenses indefinitely" he said causing Menma, Narumi, and Jiraiya to stand up in anger.
"WHAT!" shouted the twins. "Minato you can't do this, especially to your own children" Jiraiya said. Kushina looked at Jiraiya in anger while Tsunade and Kakashi stayed silent letting everything play out. Minato just looked at his sensei in disappointment. "I am the Hokage Jiraiya, what I say goes" Minato said before crossing his arms. "I wonder, would you defend Naruto if I threatened to take his license away?" he asked which silenced Jiraiya. "Kushina and I have given Menma and Narumi everything that they ever asked for while completely neglecting our oldest child. I have tried, Kushina has tried, and Kakashi has tried to get through to them but they refuse to change their ways" he said turning to look at his children who were red with fury. "Both of you have become something that I don't even recognize. I am truly sorry for wherever I went wrong with you two" he said with a disappointed and sad look.
"So what now father? Are you just gonna spend all your time with Naruto and ignore us because he's the golden child?" Narumi asked venomously. The moment she finished her question, a cold feeling spread over the room. "How dare you? Naruto suffered neglect from us for practically his entire life. He should hate us and rightfully so, but he doesn't. He forgave us when we didn't deserve his forgiveness. I have loved you and I will always love you but you have brought this upon yourselves. Naruto has waited his entire life for someone to pay attention to him so whether you like it or not you will have to share the spotlight from now on. He's your brother for Kami's sake. You are supposed to love him and stick by him no matter what but instead you wish for his death. The both of you really need to think about how good you've had it and how bad Naruto has had it" Kushina said with tears in her eyes. Jiraiya after listening to Minato and Kushina decided to re-insert himself into the conversation. "Minato, Kushina, while trying to make up for your past mistakes is admirable, it doesn't make it okay to just ignore your other children" he said but immediately regretted it as killer intent flooded the room directed solely at the toad sannin. "Where was this concern for our children's well being when Naruto was behind?" Minato asked. "Did you forget that Menma and Narumi are not your only godchildren?" he asked again. "Minato you and I both know that these two are special. Naruto just never showed any potential" he said hoping for his student to see reason.
"Were you not the same Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked breaking her previous silence. "You were the dead last of our year, everyone said that you would never become a great ninja, yet here you are a sannin" she said. Her point shut Jiraiya up.
"I have one last announcement. I have officially removed the two of you as heir and heiress. The two of you have not shown the qualities needed to lead this clan and therefore will not inherit the position" he said expecting shouts of outrage from his children but was surprised to receive none of it. Instead both were glaring holes into the ground. "May we leave now Lord Hokage?" Menma asked through gritted teeth. Minato allowed it and the two walked back to Menma's room.
After the two had left, Jiraiya immediately got up to go comfort his godchildren but was stopped by Minato. "Jiraiya, I've been told that you passed the instructions of the rasenshuriken onto Menma and Narumi without my approval. Due to this among other instances, Kushina and I believe that you are providing a negative influence for the two therefore you will not be allowed to interact with them until both Kushina and I deem it appropriate" Minato said without emotion. Jiraiya was shocked beyond belief. "Minato I" Minato raised his hand to stop him. "It's Lord Hokage to you from now on and the matter is decided and closed, please leave" he said. Jiraiya didn't move for a few minutes but eventually left slowly. It had been over a decade since Jiraiya had cried tears of sadness but tonight caused the dam to finally break as the man wandered Konoha feeling dead inside.
(End Flashback)
It wasn't easy to cut off ties from his beloved sensei like that but his kids were getting worse and changes needed to be made. It broke Minato's heart to do it but he couldn't have his teacher stoking Menma and Narumi's ego anymore while continuing to put down Naruto. Speaking of Naruto, the month of training had yielded incredible results in Minato's mind. His son had become faster, smarter, and stronger. There was also the fact that he had mastered the move Minato made so long ago in a way he never thought possible. Looking down at the arena, it seemed that the audience had finished filing in so the Fourth Hokage stood up to address the crowd.
"Welcome to all who have come to view these extraordinary genin. To make it this far in the chunin exams is no small feat and as such each of these potential chunin deserves recognition. Today each of them will fight and display whether or not they deserve the rank of chunin. The deciding factor in who becomes a chunin is not the winner or loser, but how you win or lose" Minato said before turning his attention solely to the contestants. "All of you could become chunin today, or none of you could. It will all depend on what you show us in your match. I wish each of you good luck" he said before turning his attention back to the crowd. "Let the final round of the chunin exams begin" he announced gaining a roar of applause from the crowd.
When Minato finished his speech, he sat back down next to his wife. The first to speak in the kage box was Onoki. "Well boy, you certainly know how to work a crowd. You also look quite confident" he stated to Minato who did have a proud smile on his face as his son and Kurotsuchi took their places on the battlefield. "Well Onoki, my son has given me very strong reasons to be confident" he said with a large smile which gained a proud smile from Kushina as well. Onoki snorted at that, A merely rolled his eyes, and Rasa remained silent.
"Well I doubt that you will be smiling for much longer, after all your son is facing my granddaughter. Kurotsuchi is the best kunoitchi that Iwa has produced in generations and I fully expect her to win the exams" he said with a smirk. Next to Onoki, A smiled. "I'm afraid both of you are wrong in your assumptions for it will be Yugito who wins" he said. All of the kages then turned to Rasa expecting him to boast about his son Gaara but the man remained silent.
"What's the matter Rasa, not quite sure of your genin?" A asked with a smile. Rasa simply shook his covered head. "I already know that Gaara will win these exams so there is no need for me to emphasize the fact but for now shouldn't our attention be on the two contestants?" he asked which made each of the other kages sweat drop and quickly turn to the match that had just begun.
Iwa vs. Konoha.
Naruto vs. Kurotsuchi.
(On the battlefield)
Naruto stood across from Kurotsuchi, both eyeing one another and looking for weak points. "So I take it that you've got a grudge against my father like every other Iwa ninja?" Naruto asked after seeing the murderous look that his opponent was giving him. Kurotsuchi's frown turned into a scowl. "Your father massacred my village's ninja without a second thought and shamed our village. That piece of trash up there tore apart hundreds of families. Scum like him don't deserve to live. One day he will pay for his sins but for now, I'll make the Yellow Flash of Konoha suffer by having to watch his son die in front of his very eyes" she said which gained nods of agreement from the Iwa audience members but a shake of the head from Onoki. Naruto clenched his fists at the repeated insults aimed towards his father. "It was war! Did you expect him to simply let your ninja take over our village? How many Konoha ninja did Iwa kill? How many families did Iwa destroy? Last I checked it was Iwa that started the war in the first place! You say he's scum for killing his enemies in battle but if you had the same opportunity, wouldn't you do the same?" he asked angrily.
Kurotsuchi didn't answer but her scowl deepened. "The Konoha ninja that you killed had said that you use a sword, where is it if I may ask?" she asked now wearing a confident smirk. Naruto narrowed his eyes at Kurotsuchi, something in her had changed and he didn't like it. "It's always close by, but I doubt you will get to see it" he responded to which Kurotsuchi chuckled. Raising her thumb to her mouth, she bit down drawing blood and spread it across her left arm. A poof of smoke resulted and when the smoke cleared, a large black and silver war hammer stood next to her. It was quite simple in design but the size of it was easily as big as Kurotsuchi herself. "Do you know what this is?" the Iwa genin asked Naruto who didn't respond but could feel the power emanating from the weapon. "This is the Hammer of the First Tsuchikage. It is said that with the power given to him from this weapon, he was able to form the entire village of Iwa. Whoever wields this weapon is given complete control of the element of earth, so do you still think that you don't need a weapon?" she asked with a dark smile.
Naruto stared at the weapon in awe. He could tell that this hammer had enough power to match his sword but he still wanted to try without his weapon. Before he could gather any more thoughts, Kurotsuchi raised the hammer overhead effortlessly and slammed it onto the ground. The result was a multitude of debris spread across the battlefield. The only reason that none of the debris hit the audience was because of the barrier seals that kept the crowd safe from damage. Just as Naruto had recovered from dodging large pieces of debris that had come flying at him, he noticed Kurotsuchi raising her hammer again. This time however, she didn't slam it onto the ground. Instead she pushed chakra into the hammer which gave off a large pulse of chakra that flowed through the battlefield. Before Naruto could question what the pulse did, two large piles of debris nearby began to move and take shape. When the debris had finished its transformation, the resulting appearance was a golem at least three times the size of Naruto made completely out of rock. The golem stood in front of Kurotsuchi who was now doing single handed handsigns. Naruto simply watched his opponent, waiting on her to finish her move.
When Kurotsuchi finished her handsigns, the area of ground she was standing on rose twelve feet in the air giving her an overseer view of her opponent. "Well Namikaze, for now your opponent will be my earth golem. Try not to let it kill you. I want that pleasure to myself" she said with a smile before letting her hammer stand by her on the elevated ground. After her comment the golem rushed at Naruto who immediately jumped back to avoid the creature. Unfortunately for Naruto, he underestimated how fast the golem actually was and suffered a heavy punch to the chest in midair that sent him flying into the wall.
Getting out of the indent of the wall, Naruto quickly started doing handsigns as the golem began walking to his location. Just as he was about to finish the handsigns, he felt his battle instincts alert him and jumped to the side barely avoiding a large ball of lava that hit the area he had been standing. Looking up at Kurotsuchi who was wiping lava residue from her mouth with a smile, he now knew for certain that she was trying to kill him. In the short moment that he spent observing Kurotsuchi, he neglected the threat of the earth golem who had now reached him. Barely having enough time to get his arms up and minimize the damage, he was sent flying across the battlefield. Slowly getting up off the ground, he groaned at the pain in his chest and arms.
"I'm pretty disappointed. I mean I knew that you were gonna die, but I expected you to put up at least some kind of fight. Let me ask this, did you train yourself? Because if you had a teacher, then they obviously didn't do that great of a job if this is the result" Kurotsuchi said mockingly. Naruto however took her words with anger. This girl thought that he was beaten just because her minion had done some damage to him. Ignorance is bliss was the only phrase that Naruto could think of as he looked up at Kurotsuchi. Standing tall, he turned his attention to the golem that was approaching him. Clenching his fists, he began to run towards his new target. A fire had been lit inside of the Konoha genin. This girl wanted a fight, then he would give her one. As he sped towards the golem, sparks of lightning began to form around his right fist.
Kurotsuchi could see a change in Naruto's demeanor from her earth column and frowned. For some reason, the boy seemed confident instead of broken which confused her. As she watched the blond rush towards her golem, she began to fire large amounts of lava at her opponent but was unable to hit him. Just as she was ready to fire another shot of lava, a burst of chakra nearly pushed her off her earthen pedestal. When she righted herself, she looked on at Naruto who was now in midair with a multitude of lightning sparks surrounding his fist.
Now in midair, Naruto cocked his fist back. When he reached high enough, he swung his fist forcing his chakra into his fist making the lightning grow more wild and landed the hit on the golem's head. Upon his fist meeting the giant rock, his fist appeared to do nothing but stick to the surface. It only took a second for all of the lightning chakra in his fist to be released and forced onto the golem creating multiple cracks on the head. As Naruto landed back onto the ground, the cracks started to grow larger as they spread throughout the golem's body. Only after the cracks had spread over the entirety of the golem did the full effect take place. The stone minion shattered leaving nothing behind but the pebbles left over from it's body. Looking up at Kurotsuchi again, he watched her jump with her hammer towards him with the intent to kill. Stretching out his arm, he summoned his sword and prepared for impact. Upon Kurotsuchi landing hammer first which was blocked by Naruto's sword, the blonde Konoha ninja could feel the impact of his opponent's mighty weapon. Meanwhile the Iwa kunoitchi's eyes widened. Her hammer was supposed to be one of the strongest weapons in existence, there was no way that the blonde should be standing much less holding her back yet here he was.
Sensing his opponent's hesitation, Naruto gripped his sword tightly and slid the blade knocking her back. Now the fight was on his terms, a fact that pleased the blonde immeasurably. "Where is your confidence that you had earlier? You asked me to put up a fight and assumed me to be giving it my all. What I've shown you up until now has been nothing short of pity. Now allow me to give you a glimpse of my abilities" Naruto said before dashing at his opponent. The girl barely had enough time to raise her hammer to block his sword. When the weapons made impact, Kurotsuchi was sent flying backwards while Naruto stood with an unimpressed look on his face. The tides of the battle had changed. Noticing that the kunoitchi was rising, he prepared to rush her again but stopped as the ground began to tremor. Jumping quickly, he was able to avoid a spike made of rock that rose from the ground. While in the air, he noticed many other pointed rock formations that began rising from the ground. When Naruto landed, it became apparent to him that the rocks were no longer targeting him to impale him. Instead, they seemed to be creating some sort of barrier around him which was quickly rising.
Even though it might not have been the most logical thing to do, Naruto once again let his enemy make her move. The rising rocks began to not only grow in height but were now forming together into what seemed to be almost a rock dome around him. After the earth stopped growing, Kurotsuchi appeared at the top of the dome standing at the medium sized opening. The dome that surrounded him was actually more like a tube as it was quite narrow. The girl was smiling with an evil grin. "I told you Namikaze that you would die today. The strength of your sword is impressive but that's the only positive thing I can say about your performance. This truly has been a disappointing experience. Farewell Naruto Namikaze" she said before placing her hammer on the roof of the dome next to her. Putting both of her hands on the earthen roof, the rocks and ground came together around her hands. Standing up Kurotsuchi formed a ball of earth in her hands. After the ball was formed, she slowly spewed lava from her mouth into the earthen ball. Before long, the ball began to grow in size until it was barely smaller than the moderate hole in the roof of the dome.
Naruto's eyes widened in realization. This was her plan all along. She planned to trap him and force him into a helpless position. Her current plan involved her sending the large lava ball down into the dome while Naruto wouldn't be able to break out in time. She was going to burn him alive. Thinking quickly on his feet, he realized that there was one trick he had not revealed yet. He had created it during his training with his father and it was heavily experimental as it had a better chance of blowing him up than working correctly but there was no time like the present. He dropped his sword which vanished into thin air. With his left hand, he began to form one of his father's most famous jutsu, the rasengan. When the ball was finished forming, the difficult part began. It was time to debut his elemental rasengan.
(Kage Box)
Minato and Kushina looked on worryingly at the predicament that their son was in. Everyone in the audience could see the large ball of lava that Kurotsuchi now held but no one could see Naruto who was evidently trapped in the earth dome that the Iwa genin had created. Onoki was silent. While the old man was proud of how strong his granddaughter had become, he couldn't help but feel ashamed that he let his former hate of Minato Namikaze affect her so much. Now here she was about to kill the man's son who he was obviously proud of in front of an entire arena of people. Tensions would become higher than ever between Konoha and Iwa but hopefully Minato would recognize that these were the risks accepted by every competing genin in these exams. A and Bee simply watched on in interest waiting on Kurotsuchi to end the match. Rasa continued to watch the match with a blank look on his face, not that anyone could see it.
(Contestant's Box)
Yakumo watched the match with tears beginning to form in her eyes as she clutched her heart. Her first friend, her first love, was trapped like an animal and in a potentially life ending situation. She shook her head. She wouldn't give up hope. After all, Mei Terumi's Wonderful Guide to Lasting Relationships said that trust was the most important part of a relationship.
Sasuke looked at the seemingly hopeless scene but refused to believe that Naruto would lose. His friend was too powerful to be brought down by a genin. Naruto was so far ahead of everyone else that it didn't seem possible for him not to come out of this on top.
(Itachi)
Itachi was frowning. In all honesty, he hadn't liked how his student had gone about this match. Allowing his opponent time to strategize and make her ideal moves, it was a foolish way to fight and fools were killed early on in their profession. The Uchiha crossed his arms in thought. He needed to think of a good punishment for his student after he won this match.
(Naruto and Kurotsuchi)
Kurotsuchi had finally finished creating her earth and lava sphere which she held in her hands. Using her own chakra and the rock still covering her hands, she held the ball and prepared to launch it into the dome and end Naruto. With this jutsu she would gain revenge on Minato Namikaze and make her village proud. "I hope that you've made peace with Kami Namikaze for it's your turn to meet him. Imperial Lava Bomb" she shouted launching the molten rock ball into the hole to kill the son of Iwa's greatest enemy.
Just as Kurotsuchi had finished her farewell speech, Naruto finished his own customized rasengan. Over the past month, he had grown infatuated with the idea of the rasengan. He had mastered his father's incomplete version in two days but wanted to finish what his father had yet to. In Naruto's mind it was a jutsu of incredible potential. Throughout the month of training, he had finally found out the secret to adding an element to his father's prized jutsu. His trick was to make the chakra ball and form it into a container of sorts. After the empty container of chakra was created, the difficult part of adding elemental chakra came next. It had been simple enough to add one element to the rasengan for Naruto, but it still felt like it's full potential wasn't being maximized so he experimented further. In his experimentation, Naruto had discovered a way to form elements that normally would be only available by way of kekai genkai and incorporate them into the rasengan. By adding two or more types of elemental chakra into the hollow container of chakra, he forced the elemental chakra to mix and create something new. By doing this he was able to create his greatest ninjutsu move in his arsenal. The Tempest Rasengan. Wind and lightning formed together as one increasing the power of a rasengan ten fold.
With determination in his eyes Naruto prepared for the ball of lava. When it came close enough, he swung his arm slamming his rasengan into the lava sphere. "TEMPEST RASENGAN" he shouted pushing all of his chakra into his arm and driving the molten rock back. The heat eminating from Kurotsuchi's jutsu burned his skin, but he continued to push. Just as it seemed that the ball would overcome Naruto, the tempest rasengan exploded outwards completely evaporating the lava ball, blowing the top half of the earth dome/tube off, and sending Kurotsuchi flying upwards.
After the girl reached the peak of her flight, she fell quickly to what would have been her death had Naruto not caught her just before hitting the ground. Both genin now lay on the ground, one panting and the other twitching from leftover lightning. Slowly getting up, Naruto looked down at his opponent. "You were a good fight. Maybe one day we can do this again and leave grudges at the door. It was fun Kurotsuchi" Naruto said with a small smile before the proctor came over and announced the winner.
"WINNER IS NARUTO UZUMAKI NAMIKAZE" the jounin shouted and the arena erupted in cheers and applause.
(Kage Box)
Kushina stood up and cheered loudly for her son's victory while Minato sat back with a smile. No words could describe how proud he was of his son. To have come so far after going through most of his life without anyone willing to help him. Now here he was showing himself to be more than worthy of chunin rank. There was also the fact that Naruto had mastered the rasengan, something that he had yet to do. He knew that it was Naruto's completed rasengan that won the match even if no one saw it. Watching his son walk back to the contestant's box, he smiled even wider.
Onoki was speechless. Just a moment ago he was thinking of ways to smooth over the death of Naruto at the hands of his granddaughter and in an instant the match did a complete 180. He didn't know what had happened but looking at Minato's face, he could tell the blonde hokage knew. Onoki wanted to be mad but the look of pride on Minato's face reminded him of his own when his own son first became a chunin. The boy had proven that he had what it took to be a chunin. Even in the face of certain death, he never panicked. Instead he endured and prevailed which was the very definition of a shinobi. Onoki sighed. Just what he needed, another legendary Namikaze.
(Itachi)
Itachi smirked at his student's victory. There was never a doubt in his mind that Naruto would win his match. He was still going to punish his student for his lack of logic but that could wait. For now he would be happy for his student and prepare to witness his other two genin's match.
(Contestant's Box)
Upon reaching the contestant's box, Naruto was immediately tackled by his ever concerned girlfriend.
"You idiot! You had me so worried! What the hell were you thinking?" Yakumo said going red in the face. Naruto responded to her question with a passionate kiss. When the kiss was finished, Yakumo was still red faced, only now it was red from blush instead of anger. Sasuke just stood to the side amused at the scene. "You had us worried Naruto" Sasuke said with a smirk. Naruto looked at his teammate with a similar smirk. "Never a doubt" he said to which Sasuke chuckled. "Yeah tell that to your girlfriend over there" he pointed while Yakumo simply stuck her tongue out at him. With his arm around Yakumo, Naruto smiled. This moment right here with two of his most precious people was perfect to him. Unfortunately all good things come to an end, and that end came when the next match was announced.
"MATCH 2 YAKUMO KURAMA vs SASUKE UCHIHA"
(Near Konoha)
Konan was almost there. Her sister's energy had led her in the direction of Konoha. Why her sister was in Konoha she had no idea, but it didn't matter at the moment. All that mattered was making it to her sister and preparing for the inevitable battle to protect the world as they know it.
Once again I want to apologize for the lack of updates but classes have started up again so I'm kinda tied up with school and all. Anyway I hope you liked this chapter and remember to review!
