Namigakure
Chapter 2
Reunion.
(In the Hokage's office)
(2 PM)
Senju Tsunade was currently waiting in her office for a message from four of the most promising shinobi of the generation about the situation of an alliance with Namigakure. Admittedly this wasn't the most popular decision she had ever made. Most of the council thought that allying themselves with such a small hidden village was very likely to drag them into a war if the small village was ever attacked. Plus giving up a portion of their missions to this small village wasn't a promising aspect. Tsunade however thought this was for the best, their experience with Otogakure had proven that if they let small villages grow to hate Konoha there could be a large threat in the future. So even against the council's wishes she sent a team of Anbu disguised as jounin to try and forge the alliance. The council weren't happy, but since they had banished Uzumaki Naruto five years ago Tsunade's respect for the council had plummeted. The council was also waiting for her to chose a successor for a while now, they believe her age is starting to affect her work but Tsunade had been adamant that she would not choose a successor from the current pool. She had made up her mind who would take her place when she took the seat but the council made that choice impossible. A hawk flew through the window landing on the desk of the Hokage. A scroll strapped to its back.
"Well lets get this over with," Tsunade mumbled to herself. She took out the scroll and using her nail to go right through the seal on the scroll.
' Dear: Tsunade-sama
I am please to inform you that Namigakure is being very curious and is taking the idea of an alliance very open mindedly, with the exception of one. They have agreed to all the agreements and restrictions that we have placed, they are for the most part matching our demands with the exception of the missions which I believe you were expecting it being a smaller village and thus having less missions then Konoha does. They added one thing to the agreements, they wish that all the missing nin that are in Namigakure's ranks be pardoned and those shinobi allowed within fire counties border when on missions or with the proper documentation. Hinata, Shikamaru, Kiba, and I have gone through all of them and none of them are truly unreasonable with the exception of one. All of the profiles for the missing in are in the seal at the bottom of the scroll so if you wish to look over them again or have the council look over it then there they are. I believe that I have mentioned one exception in both the people that support the alliance and the one objectionable person that is in the bingo book, they are one and the same. I am not sure how well you are going to take the news of this one person,'
'Sakura just get to it already,' Tsunade thought very annoyed at how her apprentice was dragging on the subject.
'I am sure by now you are wondering why I am dragging this subject on so long well, it is very hard to say this. Namigakure's Shodaime Getsukage is Uzumaki Naruto,'
Everything in the Hokage's office went cold. Tsunade froze in place as she started to grip the scroll even harder then what she had been.
'I know this will be a shock trust me all of us were but there is no mistake in his identity. He wishes to meet with you for further negotiations, even though he feels that if the council finds out about his identity that they will withdraw us and start a war with Namigakure. He is expecting negotiations to end by next hawk and your orders.
Sincerely,
Haruno Sakura'
As Sakura had said there was a storage seal at the bottom of the scroll, but that wasn't what Tsunade was looking at.
'Naruto the loud mouth boy that once proclaimed that he would take this seat from her and be the best had become the leader of a new hidden village after the council had destroyed his dreams.' Tsunade thought. ' It is unfortunate but I have to tell the council about this,'
"Shizune," Tsunade called to her assistant who was there in a heart beat.
"Yes Hokage-sama," Shizune said looking at her often drunk master.
"Gather the council there has been a development in the negotiations with Nami and they need to know some of the information." Tsunade said.
"Right away," Shizune said rushing out the door she had just come through.
'Now how to get the council to see the importance of this,' Tsunade thought covering her eyes with a hand.
(1 hour later in the council room)
"What is the meaning of this Tsunade you call us from our homes saying that there is trouble in the village that you sought and alliance with, against the council's wishes I might add," A balding man with a large pair of glasses so foggy that they were obscuring their eyes.
"I never said that there was trouble I just said that there has been a development," Tsunade clarified. "It could be good or bad depending on how you see it,"
"Explain what has happened, Hokage-sama," Yamanaka Inochi said before any of the other councilmen could complain.
"As you wish Yamanaka-san," Tsunade said. "Namigakure has more or less agreed the our terms and restrictions,"
"That is great, what is the problem," The same bald guy interrupted.
"I am getting to the Kuisuke-san, don't interrupt me," Tsunade demanded. " Well They are unwilling to share their missions,"
"that is perfectly reasonable, as a smaller hidden village they are less likely to get missions so they need to save all the ones they do get for themselves," Hyuuga Hiashi said crossing his arms.
"Yes I agree but that isn't what this meeting is about," Tsunade said getting more and more annoyed that she was being interrupted. " they have added an addendum, considering the number of missing nin in Nami's ranks they have wished for Konoha to pardon all of them and to have them be allowed into fire country and Konoha."
"that is no problem depending on the missing nin, The council can go over the files and clear or veto clearance for the missing nin." A brown haired woman said looking at the Hokage.
"Fine, let us do this now if you could," Tsunade passed out a folder for each of the councilmen holding about a 13th of the total number of Nami's missing nin.
(Twenty minutes later)
"All of these seem reasonable, nothing unreasonable," A black haired man said.
"I still don't understand why you had us brought her, all of these files don't need our clearance," Inuzaka Tsume said looking unhappy.
"Well there is one more profile that I thought the council will be a little more objectionable, Here it is," Tsunade hand each of them a copy of the last profile upside down. All of the council flipped it over at about the same time. There was a stunned silence.
"WE CAN NOT ALLOW THIS!!!" Yelled an outraged Civilian. "We can not pardon the demon, I thought we were through with him when we banished him those five years ago,"
"Call down, councilman Hatsu," Tsunade said as patiently as possible.
"I say that we order them to give us the demon brat as a trade for the alliance, and the we kill him," Kuisuke said in agreement with Hatsu.
"There is one major problem with that demand," Tsunade said closing her eyes.
"Why, we are the economic and military super power, if Nami wants an alliance with us then they will do what we said." Danzo said his mind always on Konoha's military.
"The one problem with that is that Uzumaki Naruto is the Shodaime Getsukage," Tsunade said. This was followed by another silence that was more there than the one before.
"this is troublesome, but I guess we don't have much choice in the matter of who they chose as their kage, We should just pardon him and make him our ally," Nara Shikaku said leaning back in his seat.
"Absolutely not, he has so many reasons to attack the village," Danzo the one armed old guy said slamming his good fist against the table.
"And who's fault is that?" Tsunade said looking at all of the council. Most of the civilians looked shame faced, while the ninja's looked slightly uncomfortable.
"I have a plan," Hiashi said looking at the council.
"And this idea is Hiashi?" Tsunade asked looking at the Hyuuga head.
"Why don't we invite the strongest of Nami to come to Konoha, have a tournament to see if pardoning all of those nin would be worth it." Hiashi said to a lot of muttering from the council.
"What of Uzumaki Naruto who is the Getsukage and thus the strongest in his village." Danzou demanded.
"We invite him here and see what the strongest are made out of, the strongest are the strongest." Chouza Akamichi said eating a sandwich of some kind.
"Agreed," Tsunade said, and with that most of the council were forced to agree.
(Namigakure)
(The Sea shell bar)
"So Naruto how have you been since you left?" Kiba asked. Currently Kiba and Naruto were sitting at the bar each holding a saucer of Sake.
"It have been good, I left, the masters and I made Nami, I became a kage, so all in all I think I made the most of three years," Naruto said sipping his sake. "The first two years were pretty much spent training and finding the Masters. It was busy."
"How did you set up a hidden village in 3 years I mean, it should have taken you that long to get these walls up." Kiba said a little red in the cheeks.
"We have our methods," Naruto said refilling both saucers. "What are the others doing,"
"Shikamaru was being lazy so he is in his hotel room, sleeping. Sakura was looking though the shopping district with Sasame," Kiba said swaying lightly.
'Sasame and Sakura in the shopping district, we will be needing more imports of cloths and the seemstress's will need to be paid overtime.' Naruto thought.
"Hinata was staying with Akamaru for me," Kiba said taking another swig of sake.
"That is good." Naruto said. 'I wonder if Kenichi is watching over the gennin like he should be. He hates that job.'
"What about you, what good things have happened to you?" Naruto asked Kiba, hopping Kiba was sober enough to answer.
"Well I was promoted to jounin about 2 years after you left. Then I became a hunter Nin," Kiba said.
"I always thought you would make a great hunter with Akamaru by your side," Naruto said smiling.
"I am impressed that you made your dream happen," Kiba said with a hiccup at the end.
"Not quite," Naruto said finishing his sake.
(Akamaru and Hinata)
(In a forest a little away from Nami.)
"I don't know what to do, Naruto is here in Nami and he is the Getsukage. I am so glad that he made his dream come true. The Hyuuga clan is exactly the same and I still can't confess my love for Naruto," Hinata went on for quite some time scratching Akamaru behind the ears. This is probably not a good sign talking to a dog, but Hinata was far from caring.
Hinata would probably be mad or embarassed that not twenty feet away a red haired konoichi was listening hard.
(The next day in the Getsukage's Office in an undisclosed location)
All five masters and Naruto were assembled in the office.
"Naruto we have received the messenger hawk from Konoha. I have not opened it because I think that you would probably prefer to read it then have me summarize it." Kaki said handing a letter to Naruto.
"It would have been faster if you just summarized it Kaki," Naruto said as he took the scroll and opened it. "Well this is a little unexpected."
"What is is Naruto. Anything bad?" Kenichi asked a little tense but not worried.
"No, it is just that Konoha wants us to send our best Shinobi to test our skills." Naruto said off handedly. At this Taiyo laughed.
"Yeah exactly it is a joke I mean..." Akito was about to insult Konoha but he was silenced by Naruto.
"If that is what they want that is what they get," Naruto said crossing his arms. " They have passes for us in this letter,"
"Us? They haven't taken away the kill on sight order on you have they?" Sasame said worried.
"Apparently it will be over looked until they see if our alliance is worth it," Naruto said. "Usual rules, when I am not here two of the masters are going to stay in the village. Kenichi, Kaki, you two are on village watch," Naruto said to the two masters.
"Aw, damn I wanted to show those guys what I was made of," Kenichi complained.
"Yes, Getsukage-sama," Kaki said leaving the office.
"Man, Naruto can't you make someone else do it," Kenichi complained.
"If You are so against it then ask them," Naruto said "It is your turn and I doubt that any of th em would be willing," Kenichi grumbled away slamming the door to the Getsukage's office.
'I feel sorry if anybody attacks Nami while we are gone,' Sasame thought leaving the office. 'Not that I would give up my stop to not be pissed.'
(Outside the Hotel the Konoha nin's are staying at)
"Damn I have the biggest head ache," Kiba complained a full pack on his back.
"I wasn't expecting we would have to leave so soon," Sakura said carrying about twice as much as she came with.
"This was a mission Sakura, it is troublesome, but I kind of want to get home," Shikamaru said looking very sleepy.
Hinata was playing with Akamaru, keeping it quiet but the letter of instruction the Hokage gave them was sort of interesting.
'Sakura, Kiba, Shikamaru, Hinata.
You are to escort the Getsukage and the master's of Nami to Konoha. Bring them here as fast as possible.
Godaime Hokage.'
"Hello, lets go," Akito said sternly as he walked by them and continued to the gates.
(On Route)
The four Konoha shinobi were leading the three Nami Shinobi and the former Konoha shinobi turned kage They were all moving at a brisk pace.
Naruto was in his kage robes his hat and a veil covering his face, Akito behind, Kenichi who managed to trade with Taiyo for a jug of sake and a lot of pestering. Sasame was clinging to Naruto's arm.
"Sasame, not that I don't like this but it is a little bit hard to walk," Naruto said trying to get his arm out of the woman's grip to no avail.
"But Naruto kun..." Sasame whined in the same matter as a little sister wanting another piggy back ride.
"Sasame chan, how about I make a deal with you, I will take you out on a date inside Konoha, some place nice, then we can do whatever you want with the exception of that one thing," Naruto said still trying to get his arm loose but Sasame just gripped tighter.
"But Naruto kun," Sasame whined again.
"No, you should know, that is my one rule, I don't think either of us is ready for the consequence of that. We are still young," Naruto said "If you want to do that with somebody else I won't condemn you for it,"
"No, Never, I would never do that to you," Sasame said adamantly.
"Okayh it is up to you," Naruto said shrugging. "Hey, Kiba how about a race?"
"To where?" Kiba asked smirking.
"Too Konoha of course, loser buys the winner's party barbecue," Naruto said.
"chakra or no chakra?" Kiba smirked. 'I am the fastest hunter nin in konoha either way I win,'
"I say chakra because no chakra wouldn't be fun," Naruto said smiling.
"Naruto save your strength you might need it for later," Akito warned.
"I will be fine," Naruto laughed. "Kiba lets start... Now," Naruto blurred out of existance right before everybody's eyes, leaving Sasame clasping on air.
"Damn it," Kiba yelled rushing off toward Konoha.
"Kiba is an idiot going against a kage level shinobi," Sakura berated.
"Don't say that," Kenichi said defensively.
"What Kiba is an idiot," Sakura said loudly.
"Yes he is, I was talking about Naruto's strength," Kenichi said hot headedly.
"What all I said was that he was Kage level," Sakura said a little quieter.
"Exactly, he isn't Kage level, each master respectively are kage level. Naruto transcends us he is beyond anything anybody has ever seen and he is still growing stronger." Kenichi said proudly.
"This is getting troublesome lets hurry up to Konoha," Shikamaru said.
"Fine, I would guess Naruto is at the gates of Konoha by now," Akito said.
"What but that is twenty miles away," Sakura shouted.
"Oww, there is no need to yell," Kenichi said claping his hand over his ears.
"He has very sensitive ears, he is like a little bunny," Sasame said skipping along the path.
(1 Hour later)
"Welcome to Konoha," Sakura said waving her hands at the gates of Konoha.
"Where have you guys been I could have had a meal waiting for you guys," Kiba complained.
"so did you win your bet with Naruto?" Shikamaru asked.
"No, apparently he got so bored waiting for me he left a note with a clone and went off to train or something,"
As if on que Naruto dropped out of a tree. "Finally what took you so long, I was able to survey the peerimeter and get through a rbix cube in the time it took you guyes to get here,"
(Gate protical, traveling to the Hokage tower,)
"We are here to see the Hokage we believe that she is expecting us," Akito said to the secretary.
"She was expecting you, go right ahead," The secretary said. "Down the hall to the right.
"Thank you," Naruot said in his Kage robes hurrying to the office. Closely followed by all of the Ninja.
(here you go the second chapter. To fans of Mugan I just don't have the inspiration that I need to keep the story alive. Maybe when Kingdom Hearts 385 / 2 days comes out.
