"What? ", Jiraiya almost shouted as he grabbed a weak wooden table and whirled it at the wall. It crushed and shattered into pieces from the force with which it met the hard stone wall of the apartment the old toad sanin was residing in. He couldn't believe what he had just heard from Iruka. He couldn't believe that Danzo and the council would be so foolish as to come upon such a decision. Lack of an active Jinchuriki was a sign of weakness in the nations.
"When did this order take place?", Jiraiya asked, keeping his back to the academy teacher. He didn't want to show the trace of anger registered on his face. To do that would simply make things a little uncomfortable.
"The order came from the Hokage just a few hours ago. Am sure Naruto would be killed an hour from now. ", the academy teacher said, trying hard to hide the sadness and hope in his voice. Hope for Naruto, a boy he saw as a younger brother, to be saved. Jiraiya knew this, he could hear it in his voice clearly. He wanted to tell the man he would resolve this issue easily, that this whole thing was all a misunderstanding but he knew better. Without uttering another word, he walked out, he needed to clear something with the Hokage.
The almost totally broken Naruto could sense and hear it. The feet descending rapidly down the stairs to the abandoned place he was imprisoned. He could feel it, that little bit of tension that came before the end. He could even taste the sour flavor of an end approaching. The irony of it all drew a bitter laugh from him almost like a homicidal maniac ready to rip his own throat out. Was this what it had all been for from the start? Was Neji right when they were younger? Were all his stupid ideals leading to this perfect moment of total and absolute oblivion? Was the revenge he pursued just an attempt to blind himself from the real truth of the world? Was this always how everything had to end?
Crrreeeeeeeeek!
The door to the hellish row of cells opened. He smiled deeply as the sound of feet meeting water caught his ears. At last they got here. He heard one cough and almost laughed aloud to that. They had the guts to cough after breathing the rotten air in this place…this place where he had been condemned. Soon, the dim light flickered on to expose three Anbu officials standing before his cell. One opened it to reveal their eyes to the almost totally crumpled form of Naruto.
"Uzumaki Naruto, you have been summoned before the council's verdict. Make any moves and you will regret it", the leader who wore a wolf mask said the last part a little more harshly to the boy not caring about the amount of killer intent he radiated. Without any words, Naruto was harshly grabbed and led out. They just moved his weak form like a lifeless carcass, dragging him up the flight of stairs in his almost totally destroyed looking clothing. Getting further up, Naruto had the chance to see the row after row of prisons…no wonder where he was was so bad, it could have been the sewer to this huge maze of prisons.
"Move", one of the Anbu pushed him, urging him to move his already weak legs faster. Quickly they moved, making the blond teen use more and more of the last of his energy to push himself forward. After another step, Naruto felt something sting his eyes. Instinctively, he raised his hands to shield his eyes from the rays of sunlight which greeted his light deprived eyes. After a few seconds, he let his hands down and gaze at the opened doors he approached. He could already breathe calm clean air as he walked closer and closer. He could even see the Anbu standing outside waiting for him to come…well, at least he had a crowd to escort him. This was when dead childhood dreams would be mourned and buried. And with a few more steps, he walked into the light.
Hinata gasped…her ears had to be betraying her. She wanted nothing more than to fall down on her knees and weep but something kept her standing, some false hope about what she had just heard from her father being nothing but a cruel joke to keep her down…but she knew better.
"The execution is to occur in the next hour and I expect you to be there. The main branch is to be expected as being both loyal and agree to the joint decisions of the Hokage and the Council. ", Hiashi lectured. Though he hated the act to be committed, he knew it was necessary. Making an example of a traitor would adequately wipe out some possibilities of treason in the village. He shifted his eyes from the scroll he read in his hands to the almost trembling Hinata. Pathetic, was all he thought. She was exactly what a Hyuga was not supposed to be.
"You can go.", he dismissed her and frowned as she left. Hinata as she left her father's presence could no longer control the stream of tears from gliding down her cheeks leaving damp spots on her grey kimono.
"Hey, Hinata could you…Hinata…"…
She didn't even care to give any attention to Hanabi, her little sister who tried unsuccessfully to get her attention again. Her mind was blank to the world. If she wasn't that weak she would…what? What could she even do? All these questions raced through her mind as she stepped into her room and fell sadly on her bed, sobbing more and more into the pillow. She had known that Naruto would be punished but she always thought a short prison term or something else giving the fact that he saved their team but it seemed fate was not willing to be kind to her.
"If only I was strong enough", she whispered amidst tears.
"If only…", she paused, her tears had seized. Thoughts flew through her mind…impossible thoughts. No one would expect an attempt to save Naruto, especially an attempt made by a Hyuga heiress. The thought of her not being strong enough had been banished. She knew something only a few knew. And it was simple: to give up was the real defeat. Slowly, she rose from her bed…she had to do it…she just had to.
"DANZO", Jiraiya roared as he easily punched down the door, sending splinters everywhere. As soon as the door crushed down, seven Anbu officials appeared, ready to defend the Hokage. Jiraiya would have laughed aloud if he wasn't totally over boiling with rage. So this few ants think they could take on the bigger deal like him. He gazed over them to the Hokage who was calmly seated and almost hidden by the heaps of paperwork he had.
"Jiraiya, good of you to…".
"Stop talking nonsense, you know why am her. ", the sanin hissed out almost snake-like. There was one thing he hated more than being caught in his perverted actions, he hated hypocrisy. With a signal from Danzo, all the Anbu officials disappeared in chakra smokes.
"What makes you thing you can take such a decision? What makes you think the son of the fourth can just be one of your pawns in the sick little game you are playing, huh, answer me. ", Jiraiya almost shouted slamming his fist onto the table causing some of the papers to fall off. Jiraiya was visibly angry, not thinking right and that was exactly what Danzo wanted. For him, he saw the big picture, the need for dominance. And if sacrifices had to be made then so be it.
"Jiraiya, careful, you're speaking to the Hokage and as that, am superior to you. "
More angered by that, Jiraiya slammed his fist on the table, cracking the hard wood with his anger which was almost visible around him.
"You, Danzo are not and never my superior. I do what I do not for you, but for those who deserve it. ". And with that the sanin turned to leave but paused at the entrance. He calculated his words well…the consequences could be grave.
"I don't work for Akatsuki scums. I no longer stand with Konoha thus my actions are mine alone", he sad full of anger and walked out. He had made his mind up. If Danzo wanted to play it this way, then he would have to do what was needed to be done He was no longer Jiraiya, the toad sanin of the hidden leaf…he was now just Jiraiya, the toad sage, the godfather of Naruto and he had a task at hand.
On the roof, a figure hidden in the shadows followed the Anbu escorting Naruto carefully. Being seen could put a slight but cleanable mark in his whole plan. To make everything he planned successful, he had to take care of Konoha first…at least to make Danzo more aware of the authority he had. A smile carved his face under the one eyed mask as he saw a few civilians throw stones at the already weakened blond jinchuriki. This would be easier than he thought. A jinchuriki in the open with just a few Anbu guards escorting him, a bad plan for whoever decided to do this. He vanished from one shadow to reappear in another as he looked at the still growing mass of civilians approaching…more; he needed more audience for what he had planned. With Jiraiya in Konoha, the plan might not take long but still, it would help make everything a bit more interesting. This would surely make Danzo take a faster decision to join his cause. He smiled under his mask as he saw several shinobi approaching. They would be the ones escorting him now.
"Hatake Kakashi", he whispered as he saw a silvery haired shinobi who had his face covered just exposing his one normal eye to the world. A pink haired teenage girl who he knew was once Kakashi's student, a few Nara and some Akimichi and Inuzuka with their dogs. More people had begun to appear…a good crowd for the plan. He smiled. The time had come.
Naruto stumbled onto his knees. He could feel pain burning in every part of his body. His hands had been bound behind him. He could still feel the stabbing gaze of everyone…could hear their blood ticking insults.
"We will be taking him with us now. ".
Naruto smiled at the voice. Kakashi, a man he looked up to and idolized. He looked up to see some of his friends around him…no, they were not his friends; he didn't have the luxury of that. His eyes stopped on Sakura who looked at him with a deep frown…they all made him sick.
"Yeah, you can take him but we have strict orders to move everywhere he goes until the execution. ".
Naruto's heart skipped a beat. He had already suspected and known that the end was near for him, but hearing it was really different. From the little parade he had been taken through before coming her, he could deduce that this was a public execution. And this would clear everything, give everyone a sense of revenge for Tsunade's death and give then a feeling of happiness.
"Let's move, we're behind schedule and the…"…
BOOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOOM !
The ground shattered around his as three huge explosions belted from the ground, scattering everyone and throwing rubles around. Naruto looked around clearly shaken but still on his knees until he saw a figure standing before him.
'YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!'. NAruto clenched his teeth as he felt a huge pain erupt from his stomach…the Kyubi was agitated.
'MADARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!' the bijuu roared, trashing around it's prison gates sending more and more waves of pain through the blond teen who doubled over on the dusty ground in pain. The debris was still around with dust everywhere, no one would be able to see anything. The man Naruto now knew as Madara walked slowly to where he lay shaking from the pain he felt. He knelt down and grabbed the weak blond by the throat and lifted him up.
"Seems I have use of you again. ", the man said in a calm voice.
"What…what do you…want…with…me?", Naruto asked in gasps as his breathing became labored. He heard the man chuckle and looked at his eye exposed from a hole in the mask he wore. There was something strange about it.
"My dear boy, who ever said I wanted you?", the man whispered before his eyes morphed into a blood red sharingan. Suddenly everything begun to fade as another huge volley of pain hit Naruto…this time it was something else, he could feel it. The hate, anger and thirst for blood. The figure dropped and watched with a smile as the red bubbly chakra begun to envelope Naruto. The first three tails appeared. Then two more begun forming…
"The past begins", the man whispered with a smile before leaping out of the smoke before vanishing…but he had been seen by another eye like his.
"AAAAGGGHHRRRRRRRRRRR!".
A huge human-like roar was heard before a huge red chakra column shoot out to the sky sending a huge shockwave through the village. The dust was blown away to leave everyone to the image of death before them. An image of nightmares to most of them. With a roar that shattered the ground, the past came back with full force.
