Chapter 5: Death, Blossoms and Kitsunes
Ada turned to look at the man who had placed him in a jutsu. The man was tall and had black hair, had a jounin vest and was smoking a cigarette. Ada pointed his hand towards the man and bones began to come out of the tips. Orochimaru and Kabuto were just staring with a smirk on their faces but Orochimaru did have his Kusunagi protruding from his mouth. Ada was shocked that all of the sudden he could not control his hand as it began to retract to his side. Orochimaru began to walk closer to Ada and thats when a large man in a semi samurai outfit got in between them. Kabuto quickly pulled a kunai from his kunai holster and got into a throwing position.
Orochimaru launched himself at the large man and Kabuto quickly fired his kunai at the man holding Ada. The man seeing the kunai coming at him had to release Ada from his jutsu so he could dodge the incoming kunai. The large man did not move from Orochimaru's way and barely managed to block the kusunagi with a kunai. Ada felt that he was now free and quickly jumped on a railing which was on the ceiling. Ada extended both of his hands towards the four shinobi and began to fire bone bullets from them.
"SHIKAMARU GET OUT OF THE WAY," screamed the large man.
"Chouji quickly go and get back up, we can't handle this," stated Shikamaru who by now had lost his cigarette.
Chouji hesitantly looked at Shikamaru, but with a rather sad face turned around and did what he was told. The rain of bone bullets was still coming from Ada, when he noticed Orochimaru had retracted his kusunagi. Orochimaru now had his large tongue sticking out and was now looking straight at Ada.
"Kabuto go after the Konoha ninja leave the half Kaguya boy to me." Said Orochimaru as saliva ran down from tongue.
"Of course Orochimaru-sama," said Kabuto as he launched himself at Shikamaru.
Ada was now beyond frustrated and quickly stopped his bone bullet barrage. He quickly reached for both of his bone swords and prepared to launch himself at Orochimaru. "Damn these guys are stronger then I thought. I have to keep an eye on the Konoha ninja he can be killed by this man. I will not let him kill anyone else."
Without warning Ada launched himself at Orchimaru with both of his bone swords pointing forward. Orochimaru smirked when he saw this and quickly jumped in the air causing Ada to completely miss him. As Ada landed he stumbled with the force of his landing, this was the opening Orochimaru needed. Orochimaru quickly fired his tongue at Ada, the tongue wrapped around Ada's right leg. With a massive thrust backwards Orochimaru sent Ada flying against a wall causing him to loose both of his swords in the process. Ada was now the ground and was not moving, on the other side of the building Kabuto now had Shikamaru pinned down.
"Kabuto quickly kill him, so we can get the boy and leave," said a rather calm Orochimaru.
"Hai, Orochimaru-sama," was all Kabuto was able to say when he noticed the entire building was engulfed in darkness.
"Quickly Kabuto kill him, don't worry about the darkness sphere," screamed Orochimaru. Kabuto who could only hear his master, did as he was told and began to thrust down on Shikamaru. But the strike never came Kabuto's hand was stopped half way and was being crushed by another hand. Kabuto was quickly flung away from Shikamaru and Shikamaru was picked up by the same hand. The darkness sphere now began to recede, revealing Kabuto half way through a wall and Ada holding up Shikamaru. Orochimaru not liking what was going, so began to make handseals and when he was finished he smirked at Ada. Ada quickly recognized the handseals and threw Shikmaru out of the way as he jumpe into the air.
"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu"
With a quick motion Orochimaru released many fireballs aimed directly at Ada. As the fireballs were coming at Ada he failed to notice that Orochimaru had thrown a kunai in between the fireballs. Ada quickly began to dodge the fireballs and also made a bone spear from his arm and aimed it at Orochimaru. As Ada was now dodging the last of the fireballs, he felt a sharp pain on his right shoulder. The kunai had struck Ada on the shouler causing him to drop the bone spear because of the pain. Ada quickly reached for the kunai and began to pull it out, this gave Orochimaru the opening he needed.
"Silly boy, you were never a match for me. Now you will be lucky I don't kill you like I did your father, you will be my next vessel." Said Orochimaru as he continued to salivate towards the hurting Ada.
Ada by now had pulled the kunai from his shoulder but something was wrong. He quickly fell to his knees and was begining to pass out. Orochimaru was now walking directly towards Ada and thats when Shikamaru got infront of Ada. He had a kunai out and ready to attack Orochimaru, on the other side Kabuto was now out of the wall. Orochimaru saw this and motioned at Kabuto and they both launched both of themselves at Shikamaru. Kabuto threw kunai at Shikamaru and Orochimaru launched his tongue at Shikamaru. Shikamaru threw his kunai towards Orochimaru but the snake quickly dodged it. Shikamaru then began to flip backwards away from the kunai Kabuto had thrown. And then without warning Orochimaru's tongue wrapped around Shikamaru's leg and smashed against the floor. Shikamaru was now out of it, when Shikamaru flew into him thrusting his kusunagi into Shikamaru's stomach.
Shikamaru screamed in pain as blood poured from his stomach and also blood begin to come out from his mouth. In a swift motion Orochimaru pulled the kusunagi out of Shikamaru sending flying against a table.
"Kabuto get the boy he should be paralyzed by now," said a calm Orochimaru.
Kabuto quickly listened headed towards Ada, when leaned over to pick up Ada two kunai came flying passed him. Orochimaru and Kabuto and Kabuto were startled to see who had thrown the kunai, there infront of them was the Amekage. The old kage was in a fighting pose and had a kunai in each hand. Orochimaru motioned Kabuto to come to him and they both got into fighting poses and face the Amekage.
"Longtime no see Ranpu-sama," said a smirking Orochimaru.
"Its never good to see you Orochimaru, you are a scar on the face of the land." Said the Amekage as he launched himself towards Orochimaru.
Orochimaru never moved away from the incoming Amekage. Orochimaru took the full force of the blow the Amekage gave him. The Amekage drove both kunai into Orochimaru, but blood or screams of pain never came, the snake simply begin to mealt away. Kabuto rushed at the Amekage swinging his kunai at him. Kabuto now had the Amekage cornered, when Kabuto began to make handseals. Suddenly out nowhere hands sprung from the ground and grabbed the Amekage. The Amekage was now stuck to the ground he tried to break free but he could not budge from the hold.
"Now you die," said the smirking Kabuto.
"Futon: Daitoppa"
A great explosion of wind came crashing against the old kage, causing everything behind him to be leveled. The Amekage's skin also began to bleed because of the speed of the wind it ripped his clothing an skin. The hands now holding the old kage began to lift him up and threw him at Kabuto. As the body of the Amekage was in the air, Kabuto appeared above him and kicked him to the ground head first. Orochimaru was out of the ground and had his kusunagi coming out of his mouth and turne to face Ada.
"Ranpu-sama you seem weaker in your old age, you disappoint me." Said Orochimaru as he began to take steps towards Ada.
The Amekage who was still on the ground began to lift himself up, revealing a bleeding and bruised face. Kabuto drew chakra to his hands and charged towards Ada with reckless intent. The Amekage saw this and also charge towards Ada, in orer to protect him.
"Orochimaru, you and your underling are pure cowards," screamed the Amekage.
"Are you going to protect this boy Ranpu-sama, if you don't he is going to die." Orochimaru said this as he was now in utter flight towards Ada who was now collapse on the ground. Ada's eyes widen when he saw Orochimaru coming at him but as much as he tried to move he couldn't he was paralyzed. Then there was complete silence the only thing that coul have been making was noise was the blood dripping from the stomach of the Amekage. The Amekage had sacrificed himself in order to protect Ada and in the process Orochimaru had burrowed the kusunagi into him. The Amekage was now in utter pain and also began to feel the effects of blood loss.
"Why did you save me old man," said a rather shocked Ada.
The Amekage turned to look at him and gave him a small smile. "The defenseless should never be killed, plus I see promise in you boy."
"Kukuku, how touching Ranpu too bad I never intended to kill the boy. It was all a ploy to get you to sacrifice yourself, there was no nee to fight you. That is the weakness of the kind hearted, you value life." Said Orochimaru as he swiftly thrusted his kusunagi to the left competely cutting through the Amekage. The Amekage was now bleeing profusely and was one the ground with a cut going from his mid stomach all the way to his left side. As Orochimaru retracted his kusunagi, he drew his tongue out and gave a lick to Ada's wound.
"I have now tasted you boy, soon we will be one." Said Orochimaru in a sinister voice. Ada was now confused and almost completely terrified at the actions of Orochimaru. Orochimaru quickly motioned Kabuto to pick up Ada, when kunai came flying at them.
"OROCHIMARU BACK AWAY FROM MY SON," screamed Kushina.
"Well look who it is dear old Kushina. I see you came to the village meetings. I don't know why you did, are you feeling guilty for leaving your son behind all those years back. Feeling guilty are we. Well I have a secret to tell you, you are no better then this village. You left your son behind and so did they, kukuku." Said Orochimaru with a sinister smile across his face.
"Shut up Orochimaru, now get the hell away from my son before I kill you. You took my husband from me, I will not let you take away my son from me." Said Kushina with rage building all over her body.
"Kukuku, well I guess you win this round. I sense Konoha shinobi coming, but I will have your son. Oh and one more thing before I leave ask Tsunade why Konoha let your precious Naruto-kun die." And with that being said Orochimaru and Kabuto began to melt into the ground.
Kushina quickly ran over to Ada and embraced him in her hands. Hikaku ran over to Shikamaru and to the Amekage and began to try to help them.
"Mother I'm so sorry," said a tearful Ada.
"Don't worry Ada it will all be ok soon," said Kushina who could no longer hold her tears back. "What he said to me could be true Naruto can be dead. What I did those years back was for the best, he would have been killed if I would have taken him to Whirlpool. He carries the lineage of the Yamikaze, that name alone would make people enemies of him instantly. My son you can not be dead."
"Mother do not worry what Orochimaru said can not me true," said Hikaku in a mild tone.
Suddenly Konoha shinobi began to arrive at the scene. Chouji was infront of them all and quickly ran over to his friend Shikamaru. A medinin also ran over to Shikamaru and began to treat him. Sakura and Tsunade also arrived at the scene with other shinboi. Sakura quickly rushed over to the dying Amekage and began to try to save him. Tsunade walked over to Ada and began try help him but was cut of by Hikaku and Kushina. Tsunade was startled to say the least by their actions.
"I will not let you treat my son, unless you can promise no harm will come to him." Said a rather stern Kushina who had fury in her eyes.
"I promise no harm will come of him, just let me treat him." Said Tsunade in a pleading voice.
"Very well."
"Konoha has a habit of showing up late to things don't they. Whirlpool whouldn't have suffered if not for Konoha's slowness." Said a smirking Hikaku.
Tsunade quickly went over to Ada began to treat him. Sakura was trying her best to save the Amekage but her efforts were to no avail. The old kage was passing and with his last ounces of life he motione Sakura to come closer to him.
"Please listen to me young lady, if a man comes here by the name of Ketsuraku. Please at all costs tell him to forget about revenge." And those were the last words of the Amekage.
Sakura quickly got up and turned to look at Tsunade. "Tsunade-sama the Amekage has passed away."
"NANI! Quickly get the rest to the hospital, I must go to the council. We must cancel the village meetings." Said Tsunade, as she got up Kushina place a firm hand on Tsunade's shoulder.
"We must talk about my son, I want to see him."
At hearing Kushina utter those words Tsunade came to a complete stand still.
Two hours later at the gates to Konoha:
Ketsuraku stood at the gates and was now wearing a hunter nins mask. All the cuts and blood that were on his body were completely gone. He now began to walk towards the chunin guarding the gates.
"Our revenge is at hand are you ready to kill everyone here."
"Yes I'm ready to kill everyone but not just yet. First we will go in and scout. Plus I must go to my old apartment and collect something I left behind, thats very important to me.
"Are you wanting to get that damn picture she gave you. I see you are still weak you still love her and here I thought you wanted to kill her."
"Thats not it, shut the hell up. I will kill her, she betrayed me after all remember."
"Well don't forget our goals and plans. You must not fail us remember, you are a killer and now you must kill them all. Like you said they did betrayed you, never forget it."
"I know what I must do to accomplish our goals."
"I hope the hunter nins mask will help us. It was killing the hunter nin was it not but did you have to decapitate him."
"Well he wouldn't have given me the mask, if I hadn't cut his head off."
"Like I said you are a damn killer and you loved it. You enjoy every minute that you kill people."
Flashback:
"Why are you following me," screamed the hunter nin at Ketsuraku.
"I need your mask now let me have it," Ketsuraku simply said.
"Over my dead body, will you ever have it."
"Very well its your choice."
Ketsuraku was quickly behind the hunter nin who was shocked at how fast Ketsuraku was. Ketsuraku soon was shocked that he coul again see the outlines of people. And the sudden lapse of concentration from Ketsuraku gave the hunter nin the opening he needed. The hunter nin jumped into the air and quickly three kunai at Ketsuraku, only to have the kunai completely miss. Ketsuraku's movement wast to fast for the kunai, and by now had a chakra sword formed on his hand.
"I'll ask you one more time hunter nin give me your mask."
"Like I said before over my dead body."
"Then you choose to die," screamed as he charged the hunter nin. Before the hunter nin could react Ketsuraku was behind him and with a swift motion of his hand he cut off the hunter nin's head off. The lifeless body and the head landed on the ground besides Ketsuraku, who was smirking. Ketsuraku then simply went to the head an removed mask which was covered in blood. The body was also pouring out blood which Ketsuraku was stepping on. Ketsuraku then simply put the blood soaked mask over his face and continued to walk towards Konoha.
The Hokage Tower:
"Kushina could you please sit down," said a rather nervous Tsunade.
"No I will not sit down, all I have asked you is to tell me where my son is or what has happened to him."
"You see this very difficult for me to say," Tsunade was now crying.
"So are you not going to tell me and don't cry I never liked crying."
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this but your son Naruto fell in battle." Tsunade could now barely control her emotions, she was almost to her knees.
Kushina did not respond to Tsunade she simply kept looking at the ground for what seemed to be hours. "I'm so sorry my son, what I did to try to protect ended up costing you your life. I know now that I will never be able to ask you person for your forgiveness. An for that I'm truly sorry my dear son."
"Tsunade, my other sons and I will want to go to his grave. Or to your monument where you honor the names of those fallen in combat."
Tsunade was frozen by the question Kushina asked and simply looked down.
"Well can you tell me where they are located in your village."
"I'm sorry Kushina but he does not have a grave and his name was not put on the monument."
"I see, you dishonor his father and him to no ends. So what Orochimaru said was true you let him die."
"No I loved the boy but the council would not let me give him a grave or let me put his name on the monument."
"Weakling!"
"Do you have no heart, why have you not shed any tears for your son. Did you not love him."
"Do you not think I hate myself, I would like to kill myself. I was the reason my son died I left him here. But I will not cry yet, I will do that once I find out who killed him. And before I leave, know this Tsunade if I find out Konoha had to do anything with his death. It will lead to war."
Tsunade's eyes widen when she heard the words Kushina spoke.
Konoha Main Gate:
Sakura and Nari were walking towards the main gate. Sakura even though being a high positioned ninja, still routinely picked up the gate reports for Tsunade. As she and Nari continued to walk, someone caught her eye, it was Ketsuraku who was standing with a chunin guard.
"Whats your name and where are you from," aske the chunin. Sakura and Nari were now next to them.
"My name is Bouchi and I'm from Amegakure, I'm here to report to my kage."
"Very well your papers do check out, but there is some news you might want to hear from our hokage." Said the chunin who was now very nervous.
"Hmm, very well I suppose I can do that but first could you get someone to help me find some apartments. I lived in Konoha for awhile when I was younger and would like to see them again."
"I'm sure we can help you with that sir, the ninja behind you could help you. Isn't that right Sa..." The Chunin never finished his words, the reason being Nari screamed.
"MOMMY I WANT TO GO HOME SO YOU CAN MAKE ME RAMEN!."
Sakura gave a small stare and padded the back of his head. " Nari settle down and yes I'm sure I can help Mr. Bouchi find his old apartment."
"Thank you."
"No problem at all Mr. Bouchi, we here in Konoha like to make our guests feel welcomed." Said Sakura with great enthusiasm. "I wonder how Tsunade-sama is going to tell him that the Amekage is dead. Konoha does not nee anymore problems, Kami I hope this guy is not violent."
Ketsuraku's mind:
"Something seems familiar about this woman. Its almost as if we have met her before."
"Do you think its Sakura, she does have pink hair after all. I don't remember anyone else in Konoha having pink hair. But her kid does not have black hair so its most likely not her. Sakura would be with Sasuke and I'm sure they would have kids looking like Uchihas."
"I suppose you are right, but there is something about her that just seems familiar."
The streets of Konoha:
"Mr. Bouchi where did you used to live in Konoha. And If I may ask why do you want to see your old apartment." Asked Sakura in a very polite manner.
"Well I used to live in the rundown section of the village, the builing was a mess. And the reason I want to see the apartment, is in hope to find something very valuble to me."
"Oh then I'm sure we can find it, Nari and I live in that section of the village."
They continued to walk to the rundown section of the village and by now Nari was getting frustrated.
"Mommy, I can see our apartment, could you please tell Mr. Bouchi if he can wait while you make me some ramen." Said an almost hysterical Nari.
"I'm sorry about him Mr. Bouchi but would it be a problem if I took to our apartment to make him ramen."
"No not at all, I happen to like ramen," said Ketsuraku with a smile behind his mask.
"That building over there is our apartment," said Sakura as she pointed at the apartment.
"Hmm, that apartment looks like my old apartment," said Ketsuraku in an almost nervoud manner. "This woman lives in my old apartment, what are the odds of someone living in it."
"Thats strange Mr. Bouchi I only remember one person living in the apartment before us. Hehe, I guess you must be abit older then me then." Sakura said this as they entered the apartment. Sakura and Nari quickly went to the kitchen and Ketsuraku stayed in the living room.
"Make yourself at home Mr. Bouchi," screamed Sakura from the Kitchen.
"Thank you."
Ketsuraku was now looking around the living room when something caught his eye. He walked over to it and there before him was the picture he was looking for. "Is this woman Sakura, she has to be, why else would she have this picture. I guess I should find out if this is her and if she is I will deal with her."
"Excuse me ma'am what did you say your name was," screamed Ketsuraku from the living room.
"HARUNO SAKURA!"
Well thats it for chapter 5 I hope you guys liked it. Thanks again for all the reviews and hits, I'm glad so many people enjoying my story. Well what a chapter so many questions, what will Naruto do when he finds out the Amekage is dead. Will he blame Konoha and maybe later in the story Kushina vs. Tsunade? And what an ending to the chapter I think. Well thank you again for reading, and again I'm a write a few sentences that go with story but have nothing to do with the chapter. Oh and before I forget "Ranpu" means "light" in Japanese.
"Do you think the young Kage will put up much resistance?"
"I don't know but I hear he is quite strong."
"Well after we take him out, we will unleash hell on the world."
"Hey old man are you ready to unleash the hell, you promised us."
"I can't wait for that day to come."
"Now prepare yourselves, this is a big village and it has strong shinobies."
