In the Jounin lounge Gai and Kakashi sat at a table with a pair of bottle waters in front of them as Kakashi read his book Gai was looking out the window toward the academy and asked "What do you think about the teams my eternal rival."
Kakashi said "The weakest one there is Sasuke Gai and you know it. Even with his Sharingan he is the weakest. Neji I would say will pass if he doesn't face anyone from the teams. The others.....enough said." with a smirk behind his mask.
Gai nods and a woman walked over with a Jounin vest and a Kumo hiate on and said "Hi, mind if I sit here."
Both glance at her and shrug and Kakashi said "Have we met before miss." and thought "I've seen her face before but can't remember where."
The woman said "You could say we met in passing 15 years ago, in the fall at a baby shower for a teammate of yours. It was like the biggest event of the year."
Kakashi frowned and thought "15 years ago in the fall was when Kyuubi attacked. I haven't ever been to a baby shower....could she mean Naruto though.......hmm." and said "I see.....Not that I don't mind seeing a pretty face but why bring that event up. It was so long ago."
The woman said "Forgive me, where are my manors. My name is Nii Yugito. I just remember that baby shower because it was so much like my own and I was hoping to talk to the event host of that party to see if I could work up a deal. I was hoping with a little information he could help free me up for the little one in my stomach."
Kakashi eye got wide a moment and thought "I remember now, shes a jinchuuriki. She's in the bingo book. If she talking about the sealing then she wants to talk to the Hokage but how does she know about removing demons.....could she be working for Raven." and he said "I believe I could arrange a meeting with the host for that party. I'm sure he could help you. Would you like to see him now. I mean since the exam are already going on and as long as you have an escort to show your not messing with the exams you could leave. I could be your escort and you can be mine."
Gai who was thinking similar to Kakashi said "Yosh, I will be both your escorts as well."
Kakashi said "Sure, you interested Ms. Yugito." putting his book away.
Yugito said "Sure, shall we." as she motioned toward the door and hooked arms with both Gai and Kakashi and they left the room.
After they were outside the room Kakashi nods to Gai and both shushin all 3 of them to the Hokage office.
The Sandaime looked up from his paperwork and frowned as he saw Kakashi, Gai, and the Kumo Jounin and he asked "What's going on and why are you 3 not in the exam waiting room."
Kakashi looked at Yugito and she said "Allow me to formally introduce myself Hokage-sama. I am Nii Yugito, Jinchuuriki of the Nibi no Neko and I wish to speak with the Power Rangers on behalf of the Raikage about Omega." making all 3 men wide eyed.
The Sandaime frowned and said "I do not know what your are talking about."
Yugito said "Then you must not know that Orochimaru is the Otokage of the hidden sound village, that Sand and Sound are going to attack your village at the end of the Chunnin exams using the Jinchuuriki of the Ichibi as their main weapon or that the Yonbi, Gobi, and Rokubi will also be attacking your village that day." as she looked at the Sandaime eyes.
This shocked all 3 men and the Sandaime Said "Kakashi, get the White Ranger."
Kakashi nods and shushin away.
Kakashi appeared inside the room where the Gennin were testing and he looked around and Ibiki glared at Kakashi and asked "What are you doing here Kakashi, can't you see we are having an exam."
Kakashi said "Sorry about that Ibiki, I was going to the Omega book store to get the new Icha Icha paradise and a stray wind caught my shushin from the Hokage tower. How embarrassing I bet my face is going all ranges of color from my normal white to red with embarrassment. Cya." as he shushin away.
Naruto frowned and thought "What the hell. Why does the Hokage want me at the Hokage tower in my ranger suit" and "Fuck this shit. Kakashi sensei just made my squad look like a fucking joke and will make everyone think were cheating. I will wait until next time and take the exam again to show when I become Chunnin it wasn't because of outside help." as he got up throwing his paper into the trash as he slammed his chair into the desk and walked toward the door acting pissed
Haku frowned and Sasuke glared at Naruto back as Naruto slammed the door close.
Ibiki said "Well number 67, 35. Your both disqualified since your teammate quit. Please leave the room."
As both Sasuke and Haku left Lee looked at Tenten who shook her head no and he nods and got back to work on his test.
Once Naruto left he shushin to an alley nearby and looked around before he morphed into the Wind Ranger and left the alley in a beam of white light.
He appeared in the Hokage office and saw the Sandaime, Kakashi, Gai, and a woman he never seen before.
The woman bowed and said "Hello Ranger-sama. My name is Nii Yugito and I am the Jinchuuriki of the Nibi no Neko."
Naruto eyes got wide inside his armor and he said in a neutral tone "What can I do for you."
Yugito said "In Kumo as Jinchuuriki we are actually respected and treated well compared to other villages. There are 2 there. Myself the daughter of the previous Raikage and the brother of the current Raikage. Recently both Bee, Jinchuuriki of the Hachibi and myself were approached by a man who called himself Raven. He was expecting for the Nibi and Hachibi to take control of us and follow his orders but because of the seal that was placed on us to hold the Nibi and Hachibi it made it where they could not control us. Instead of Nibi chakra mixing with my own like most Jinchuuriki it was kept in a separate seal that is on my body but not connected to my chakra network and allows me to summon Nibi or it's chakra as long as I have my own chakra to run into another seal that puts a shield over my body to keep it from being destroyed by Nibi chakra. Anyway this Raven guy once he found out that Nibi and Hachibi was not able to follow his orders attacked us but half the village arrived and aided us in fighting him before he left in this flame shushin. After that happen the Raikage had me summon Nibi while in a containment seal that prevented it from using it's chakra while sucking out the chakra from Nibi. Fearing it was going to die told the Raikage about Omega, Raven, and a whole lot of shit that was hard to believe like other planets and the Rangers. Raven when he thought that he was talking to Nibi and Hachibi mentioned the rangers being here in Konoha and that we were to help destroy them once and for all after you stop his plans before."
Naruto asked "So why exactly are you here."
Yugito said "The Raikage does not like what he heard from Raven and the fact he tried to kill his brother and me made him an instant enemy. I was sent here to try and make contact with you and find out all I can about Omega and Raven. While I was doing that our Intel received word about Suna that they are preparing to attack Konoha during the finals of the Chunnin exams along with Orochimaru and his sound village. The key to the invasion by those 2 is the Jinchuuriki of the Ichibi who is in the exams. Raven also mentioned that the Yonbi and Gobi would be attacking the Rangers as well during that time. Using the exams and a veteran group of Gennin I was assigned as their Jounin sensei so I could come here to speak with you."
Naruto stepped back a moment and said "How far are you authorized to get the info on Raven and Omega."
Yugito said "I was told to use my own discretion."
Naruto looked at her for several moments and said "How old are you."
Yugito said "18."
Naruto asked "Elemental affinity."
The Sandaime eyes got wide a moment and Yugito said "Fire with minor lightning."
Naruto looked at the Sandaime and said "I recognize you from the bingo book. Your called Kumo ghost so I have some idea about how good you are........Because of our history battling Raven and Omega and his other followers the Rangers have ways to remove the Bijuu without harming the Jinchuuriki. I will agree to a meeting with your Raikage if you are willing to pay my price yourself. I want you to let me remove the Nibi from you without killing you. That is my price to meet him and inform him what I know. Do you agree."
Yugito who heard Nibi in her head screaming frowned for several moments and said "Very well."
Naruto held out his hand and a small cube appeared and he said "Hold this."
Yugito asked "What is this."
Naruto said "It will knock you out so I can take you where it will be safe to remove the Nibi and to store Nibi so it can't get free and also make sure you do not have access to restricted material."
Yugito looked at the cube a moment and took the cube and instantly passed out being caught by Kakashi and Gai who set her down in a chair.
Naruto sighed and said "What do you think." turning toward the Sandaime/
The Sandaime said "I don't know. If what she said is true then in a little over a month things are going to get bad."
Naruto nods and said "I need you to do some cheating in the Chunnin exams Hokage-sama."
The Hokage frowned and asked "What do you need Naruto."
Naruto said "I need you to arrange a preliminary round and for Lee to fight Gaara, the son of the Kazekage in it. Lee will capture Gaara if he doesn't face him sooner."
The Hokage said "You plan to extract the Ichibi from him."
Naruto said "If everything is as it seems then we can get the Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, Yonbi, Rokubi, Hachibi and Kyuubi all together leaving only 1 left which is the one who is off world. It will also destroy Suna secret weapon for the attack and hopefully stop it. If we get them then we can quit playing Ravens game and force Omega out and into the open."
The Hokage said "But this could be a trap."
Naruto said "I know....that is why I am going alone. Lee, Haku, and Tenten can continue the legacy if I die and at least this way we cut their power in half with 4 of the Bijuu and that will give us more time."
The Sandaime frowned and said "Very well.....good luck."
Naruto walked over and put his hand on Yugito shoulder and said "Gai-sensei.....Kakashi-sensei.........if this is a trap and I don't make it back.....watch over the other rangers for me. I will have alpha log you both into the command center security system......It's been fun." as he was gone in a white beam with Yugito as well.
Kakashi looked down and Gai placed his hands on Kakashi shoulder and said "He will be fine. His flames of youth burn brightly........besides, Tenten will drag him from the gates of hell if he dies."
Kakashi smiled and pats Gai hand on Kakashi shoulder and said "Thanks Gai.......my 'eternal' rival." in a quite voice.
Gai said "Think nothing of it my eternal rival."
Kakashi who had pulled his book out said "Hmm....you say something Gai."
Gai screams "Damn you and the cool hip attitude." and both men smile before shushin away.
As Naruto arrives with Yugito in the command center Alpha said "Ai, Ai, Ai, Ranger. What's going on."
Naruto turned and said "Alpha, prepare the SPD room."
Alpha said "Right away Ranger." as he left the room.
Naruto looked down at the form of Yugito and picks her up before he carries her to the room Alpha is preparing. He walks in and sees a bed in the middle of the room and he sets her on the bed and steps back and said "Alright Alpha, Inside this girl is the Nibi. Find and capture."
A blue light shines from a pole with a lenses at the end of it down onto Yugito body and a green line starts at her head and began to moved down and when it gets to her stomach the line stops and another line forms going across starting on her left hand and then it stops once it gets part way across her stomach and then another green line starts at her feet and moves up and when it stops near her stomach a 4th line starts on her right hand and moves across until it stops.
Alpha said "Target identified and locked on Ranger. Capture mode engaged." as red light shoots from the lenses into the section that was contained inside the green lines and a metal card appears and Naruto hears "Let me go you filthy humans. When I get free I will destroy you." as Naruto walked over and grabbed the card and said "Not today Nibi." as he looked at the form of Nibi trapped in the spd capture card.
He said "Alpha, please watch our guest while I seal Nibi with the others." walking out without waiting for a response.
When he got to the room where Sanbi and Kyuubi was he walked over to the prison controls and said "Hello bitches. I got a new friend for you." as he places the card into a slot on the control panel and Nibi appears in a cage in the room.
Kyuubi growls and said "Nibi."
Sanbi said "So they got you also."
Nibi said "Kyuubi, you worthless piece of shit. Can't you do anything right."
Naruto shook his head and turned a dial and suddenly all 3 demons screamed out in pain as they were electrocuted mildly.
Naruto left the room and returned to the room where Yugito was 30 minutes later and saw Alpha watching her and he asked "So is she alright."
Alpha said "Yes Rangers. It appears that no harm has befallen her."
Naruto said "Good, While I prepare her for transport scan the Raikage office in Kumo and get a beam setting for that location. I will be heading there with the girl here. I want you to watch me from the command center and if something happens to me I recorded instructions for you and the other Rangers in the central computer. See to it their carried out."
Alpha said sadly "I understand ranger. I'll get on it right away." as he left the room.
Naruto turned and sat down and waited.
An hour later Yugito awoke and she looked around and asked "Where are we and what happened."
Naruto still as the white ranger said "The Nibi has been extracted from you. Are you ready to see this Raikage of yours now."
Yugito who was looking at her stomach and trying to find the seal looked up and said "It's really gone."
Naruto nods and she said "Thank you." as she jumps forward and hugs him.
At that moment a cough was heard from the outside of the room and Yugito let go of Naruto and both turned and saw the blue ranger there and Naruto said "Hi."
Blue Ranger said "Relax lover boy. I was here when she woke up and saw her hug you. I see we got a new guest in lock up."
White Ranger said "If what Yugito here says is true then we may get the whole set in a month. I'm going to see the Raikage to verify what she said. If it's true we might be able to get Raven and Omega both soon."
Blue Ranger said "Can I talk to you privately before you leave."
White said "Sure....Please wait here Yugito." as he walked out the room and closed the door.
Once it was closed Blue powered down and Tenten was looking at Naruto who also power down.
Tenten asked "What the hells going on here Naruto."
Naruto scratched his head and asked "What do you mean."
Tenten glared and said "I heard the orders that you recorded in the computer. Now what's going on."
Naruto sighed and said "I.....I got a bad feeling about this. I just want to make sure your all safe and can still continue to save our world if this falls through."
Tenten slapped him and said "Don't you start talking like that. If your already planning on something to happen then odds are it will. I don't want to see you something happen to you. Please." as she cried and sounding emotional at the end.
Naruto pulled her into a hug and rested his head on her head and whispered "Tenten......I love you with all my heart. Your dad told me once that it wasn't about keeping you out that I needed to do, it was pull you in. I did that and I never been happier......but you saw how Raven operates. He doesn't make mistakes like this.....but he did with Haku and and he may have this time as well but in case he didn't then someone has to be there to stop him."
Tenten asked in a crying voice "But why can't we all go. A group is stronger then an individual."
Naruto closed his eyes as he remembered Tommy saying the same thing and he said "But if this is a trap, who will be there to save the rest of the world.....your friends and family........the needs of the many...."
Tenten squeezed her eyes and said "but sometimes the needs of the few are more important and I need you......I love you."
Naruto said "I know......I love you also......goodbye." as he hit a pressure point in her neck knocking her out. He caught her and carried her to a bed in a resting room. He kissed her softly once on the lips before he morphed back into the white ranger and returned to the room where Yugito was.
When he got there he asked "Are you ready to go."
Yugito asked "Wheres the other blue person."
Naruto said "She returned to where she came from. She was just giving me some last minute Intel." as he placed his hand on her shoulder and said "Alpha, ready."
Yugito looked confused before both left in a beam of white light. They appeared to her shock a mile from the village of Kumo and Yugito asked "How did we get here so quick."
Naruto said "Secret........Is there anything else I should know before we go meet your Kage. I mean I don't want to offend him or anything."
Yugito bit her lip and looked toward her village and said "No. Nothing you need to know." as she began to walk toward the village.
Naruto frowned and said "I see." as he began to walk behind her.
They reached the gates of Kumo in 5 minutes and the guards looked at the white ranger and let them both through. As they walked through the village people were pointing and looking at him but did not get in their way.
Soon the 2 were in the Raikage tower and stood outside the Raikage office and the secretary was fidgeting as she was doing her job and after about 10 minutes a guard walked out the door and said "The Raikage will see you now."
The white wind ranger walked into the office after Yugito and when he got in he looked around the room and a shield went up around the room and the wind ranger said "Hello Raven." as he looked at the guard who was standing beside the Raikage.
The Raikage was looking down and the Guard removed his mask and said "Hello Coward. I see you are as stupid as I believed you were."
Wind Ranger sighed and said "I knew it was to good to be true. So tell me. Why did you betray everyone on this planet for this bastard Raikage."
The Raikage sighed and said "I'm sorry but when he came to speak to Nibi and Hachibi his men took nearly 500 hostages including my own brother. I had no choice but to agree to his plans."
Raven said "Nibi, where are the other rangers."
Yugito looked down and Wind Ranger said "Power Down." as his armor disappeared and he put his hands behind him at a relax attention stance and said "Nibi is no longer here. I extracted it from the girl. Tell me, was what she said true. Was her seal made where Nibi couldn't take over her."
The Raikage said "Yes." only to receive a slice on the side of his face from Raven.
Raven frowned and said "No matter. I kill the girl for the temporary loss of Nibi after I kill you. She wasn't part of the deal to stay alive anyways. I got you and without you the other Rangers are nothing. Goodbye White Wind Ranger." as he disappeared from view and the next moment Naruto was gasping in pain as Raven claw hand was through his chest
Naruto coughed up blood and said in gasping breaths "I'll have my revenge and kicked Raven away with what strength he could and lunged forward toward Yugito who was looking scared and slapped his morpher on her wrist and said "Good luck Ranger." as he fell to the ground.
The next moment Yugito was gone in a red beam and Raven screamed before he turned and killed the Raikage.
