Okay guys I'm here bringing you chapter 14 of NTNP. Okay I will say this one last time I can't get in touch with my beta reader so you will may have to bare with this for a while until he comes back in touch or I find a new beta reader, oh and this chapter will be mainly focus on Konoha. OKay on with the story.

Chapter 14: Preparation

Its been a week since the Jiraiya incident and now Naruto and the gang and the newly recruit can be seen at the gates being waved goodbye from the Kazekage himself. "Okay next stop is...IWAGAKURE!" Naruto shouted pointing to the North Entrance of the Sand Village. 'Hai!' was shouted as they ran in the direction in full speed.

Konohagakure

"WHERE IS JIRAIYA! HE SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED A COUPLE DAYS AGO!" Minato yelled out in rage. "Bear!" He yelled out as a man in all black with a bear mask appeared "Go find jiraiya and if you see him anywhere near the Hot Springs, make noises so he will learn his lesson with the beating from the womens wrath!" He ordered. The bear masked anbu disapeared in a poof.

"The Chunin Exams is just a couple weeks away and the contestants already came." Minato spoke out and tapped on his desk three times as a snake masked anbu with a music note on the mask instead of the usual leaf symbol bowed and left to get the secret council.

A couple minutes later

MInato made a shadow clone and used his signature move, Hiraishin, out of the room and into a really dark room.

In the room stood three major faces for his Top Secret Operation and the faces are: Orochimaru of the Sannin, Danzo Shimura (He hated this man but he need this man in this operation to succeed), and his wife Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze. There were supposed to be four people here but they couldn't locate him and that mans name is Jiraiya of the sannin.

"We will start this meeting without Jiraiya-sensei. I have summoned you here to discuss the plan for the operation."Minato paused for a moment to see if any of the people there have an objection to the plan, " The operation will start during the final parts of the chunin exams when the Kazekage step into the gates, that is the signal to start the operation."

Orochimaru spoke up " What happens if the plan didn't go as you expected?"

"Orochimaru I want you to put the Kazekage in a sleeping state and take over the sand village and make sure to get rid of everything in that village that will become a threat to the success of the mission and once you have led the sand to invade us I want you to switch with the real Kazekage in the middle of the battlefield, where he won't be able to stop his army, at the moment you switch with him you are to lead you sound village army and help us counterattack to make the village rely on you and you get their trust again."Minato said after a thorough thought. Orochimaru nodded and began to plan how he will infiltrate the sand village. "Once the attack ends with our victory and the sand retreats we will have an excuse to start a war. Any objections?" Minato asked the final time.

"What will we do with Naruto in the time being?" Danzo asked.

MInatos face turned disgusted "We haven't heard from him in a while so he will be of no threat in this." Minato spoke, " Now is the time for the final questions, Do you have any?" Minato asked.

"What is my role in this?" Danzo asked.

"I want your root to make Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Mizugakure in a state of chaos enough to start a war, I want your root to assassinate their daimyo and at the last moment let his secretaries and advisors see the handband of the respective villages and yell 'For the glory of Iwagakure/Kumogakure/Mizukage!', Do you understand Danzo? This operation depends on your operation the most seeing as we need to show whos the strongest Village." Minato explained Danzo's part of the plan.

Danzo had an evil glint in his eyes as his mind started run the many possible plans he can do.

"That is all, your dismissed." Minato dismissed them, "Just a few more weeks and the world will know which village is the strongest and no more Daimyo ordering us around and I will rule the whole world and have all the beautiful women at my disposal" He began to say after his wife left and thinking of himself having all those women to himself and do whatever he wanted with them. ( I'm making him real evil, Huh? hehe)

Naruto and Co.

It has been a week since Naruto and Co. departed from the Sand Village. They finally arrived at their destination and what they saw were not what they were expecting. The Village was in chaos! "The plan has begun" A silhouette said.
