Naruto raced to the Hokage's office, not wanting to use the Flying Thunder God technique while the ANBU was there. Naruto entered in through the window, "Tsunade, what's happened?"
He looked over and saw Shikamaru who was sporting a bloody shoulder. "What happened?"
"We were ambushed, they knew where our base was, Gai protected me and let me get away so I could get away, I don't know where the others are, nor if they are alive." Shikamaru told him.
"You had Gai and Kakashi and Tenzo and Yugao how the fuck did you guys get fucking taken out?" Naruto asked.
"It was the Akatsuki Naruto, they are a group of S ranked ninja. They were supposed to infiltrate, but their base was found and they were ambushed in the dead of the night by Kisame, a former legendary swordsman of the mist, the Tailless Tailed Beast. With him was a member we don't know anything about, he had an orange mask on, he could phase through attacks. They also had Kakuzu and a bunch of other missing ninja of various levels. We didn't have a fucking chance." Shikamaru told him.
"Naruto calm down, unseal yourself, here is your headband. You are reinstated as a ninja. You will be heading to the Akatsuki base immediately. Jiraiya, Asuma, Itachi, Hanara, Shizune, Anko, Kurenai, Neji, Lee, and Kiba will be going with you. You are to rescue my ninja. Understood?" Tsunade told him.
"Wait! What about me?" Shikamaru asked.
"You're injured, staying here." Tsunade told him.
"But I am still a valuable asset. Send me, I will be Naruto's partner. Split everyone into pairs and I will go with Naruto." Shikamaru told her.
"No! You're done. Go to the hospital, Now! That's an order." Tsunade ordered.
Naruto stood up and flashed home, to get ready. He was sad to see Hinata wasn't in his room waiting for him, he sighed. He could sense her in the house. He walked to the door and tried it, it was locked, he sighed and shook his head. He decided to let her cool off, he held up a sign and flashed away from his house. He created a clone and sent it to Tenten, the clone would ask her to look after Hinata.
He met the team at the gate, they all nodded and took off, heading for the Akatsuki base. "Asuma, you are in charge of this group for the mission correct?"
"Yes Naruto." Asuma told him.
"Right, send me Neji and Lee ahead to scout. I will use the Flying Thundergod Jutsu to travel faster, Lee can keep up with me, and I will bring Neji with me. Lee and I are Neji's back up and powerhouses."
Asuma thought for a moment, "I don't like it, but there isn't a whole lot of options, do it." Asuma told him.
Naruto nodded, "Neji, you are riding with me, Lee weights off and let's go, full speed ahead."
Both ninja nodded, Naruto took Lee's weights and sealed them in a scroll before handing the scroll to him. Lee took off ahead of Naruto, taking a large quantity of Naruto's tri-pronged kunai. Naruto grabbed Neji's shoulder and flashed after Neji. The distance was not as far and they arrived on sight within hours. Lee and Naruto breathing hard from all of the exertion.
Neji activated his Byakugan, while Naruto released multiple chakra storage seals that he had on his body, replenishing his chakra supply, after traveling all that way with Neji.
Neji looked around, "Kakashi's base is that way, in a small cave, the Akatsuki base is embedded into the mountain. I see a lot of chakra signatures, but I can pinpoint Gai, and Kakashi, I can guess at the ANBU members that joined the squad. All of them are alive, but not in great shape. Gai is in the worst shape, but he will live, he opened the gates."
Naruto nodded, "Let's head to Kakashi's base first, hopefully we can make sense out of the attack. None of our allies are close to death, right?"
"All of our allies are going to be fine, lets scout out Kakashi's base first." Neji told them.
They nodded and followed Neji towards the cave Kakashi had set up base in. When they got there, it was not a good sight, there was blood pooled on the ground, and multiple dead ninja lying in the cave, the bodies had just been left there. Naruto sighed, "The Akatsuki are ruthless."
…
Hinata heard Naruto in his room, she wondered what he was doing. She had been really harsh with him, he didn't deserve what she had done to him. She heard him walking this way and put his hand on the door. She had locked it, but she knew if anything Naruto would knock on the door and ask her to talk, if not then he would just pick the lock, or teleport inside. She waited a moment, but nothing came, she turned on her Byakugan and saw Naruto wasn't there, he wasn't in the building, he had flashed away from the house. She sighed, as she turned back around and continued to lay on her bed.
About 5 minutes later there was a knock on the door of the house downstairs. Hinata activated her Byakugan again and saw it was Tenten, the girl looked rather worried. Hinata hopped out of bed and ran down the stairs, she opened the door and Tenten looked at her, "Hinata, are you doing okay?"
Hinata nodded, "Tenten, what can I do for you?"
Tenten raised an eyebrow, had Naruto really not told her, "Hinata, Naruto just left on a mission. He asked me to come keep an eye on you, Neji and Lee went on the same mission."
Hinata was taken aback, "What? Why didn't Naruto say anything?"
Tenten shrugged, "Can I come in, and we can talk? Naruto asked me to stay with you here until he got back."
Hinata nodded and let Tenten in, showing the girl to a guest room and let her put her stuff down, "Tell me about the mission, Naruto was supposed to be on suspension for another week at least."
Tenten nodded and looked down, "Kakashi, Yugao, Tenzo, and Gai all got captured. Shikamaru got away but barely. He is heavily injured. Tsunade sent out a team of the most powerful ninja she has in the village to try to rescue them. Naruto was required."
Hinata nodded, "Who captured them?"
"The Akatsuki, the organization that is hunting Naruto." Tenten told her quietly.
Hinata's eyes widened, "No! he can't have just left."
"Why do you care if he left Hinata, after what you said to him today, it would seem you don't care at all." Tenten told her.
Hinata was taken aback, "H-how do you know about that?"
Tenten looked at her weird, "Naruto told me, he has been talking to me about stuff lately, he told me what happened."
Hinata's eyes widened, and she felt a jealousy rise up in her stomach, but she pushed it down, she would find out more about that later, for now she was worried about Naruto.
…
Kakashi lay on the ground, his head was wringing, blood was running down his face, and he felt like he had been hit by a train, his hands were bound behind his back and he had chakra suppressing seals on him. He sighed as he climbed to his knees, sitting up and taking a deep breath.
A man walked into the room, Kakashi recognized him as the obscure member Tobi, he wore an orange mask over his face, the mask with only one eye hole. Kakashi looked at him, "What the hell do you want?"
The man laughed, "You know that's funny coming from you, I wanted to have a little fun with you."
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Kakashi asked him.
"I have heard of you Copy Cat Kakashi, word is you never let a comrade die. Is that true?" The man asked in a menacing voice.
Kakashi just glared at him, not saying a word. The man just laughed at him, "So I decided to have a little fun and see how you handle this situation."
Kakashi glared at him as he walked away, he soon came back with Yugao and Tenzo. He threw both of them to the floor, both were bloody and broken. It was clear to Kakashi they had been beaten recently. "What are you doing with them, Tenzo, Yugao, are you okay?"
Yugao tried to speak but Tobi grabbed her by her long purple hair and pulled her to her knees, he then pulled Tenzo to his knees. Tobi pulled out a sword, "Time to decide Kakashi."
"Decide what?" Kakashi asked him angrily.
Tobi laughed, "Why who lives and who dies. You get to choose which of your comrades die right now. After that the other one will eventually be let free."
Kakashi's eye widened, "Fuck you. If you touch either one of them again, I will fucking kill you."
Tobi laughed hysterically, "How do you plan on that, from my point of view, you are weak, useless, powerless to stop me."
Kakashi just got angrier, he struggled against his bonds, but it was no use. "Please DON'T!"
Tobi laughed again. "Kakashi, choose me, let him kill me, let Yugao go, she has a love, don't let her die." Tenzo told him.
Kakashi's eyes widened, "NO! I won't choose!"
Tobi laughed again and thrust his sword forward, towards Yugaos back. Kakashi jumped in front and Tobi laughed, stopping the sword short of Kakashi, "I see you have made your choice."
Kakashi's eye widened as he looked at Tenzo, Tenzo just smiled at him, "Captain, it has been a pleasure to fight alongside you. Your friendship is one of the few things in this world that I cherish, you did more for me than anyone should have. You saved me from the emotionless hell of the ROOT. I could not be happier than to die for Yugao to live, my life was always owed to you anyways. Thank you so much Kakashi."
"NOOOOO!" Kakashi screamed as all of the memories he had shared with Tenzo flashed before his eyes, as the sword flashed towards his back. Kakashi tried to dive in front of it, but he was shoved back by a kick from Tobi. Kakashi looked at Tenzo, looking into his eyes as the man braced himself. Tenzo smiled at Kakashi.
