Naruto schemes his most creative plan ever!
When Tails had finished, both Naruto and Naru-chan were shocked. They had no idea that the reason for the attack was revenge for the death of loved ones. But one thing still bothered Naruto.
"Tails, are the bodies of your kin still there?"
Tails looked at Naruto quizzically. Naru-chan answered the question a second later.
"They are still there, but why do you ask? What good would it do to remind father of what happened?"
Even though Naruto was known as the village screw-up, even he had his moments. His moments were just not as frequent as others.
"I was thinking of how the villagers still hate Tails even though they never wondered why he chose to attack."
Tails was surprised at Naruto's bluntness. He also agreed that it was upsetting to see the villager's refusal to find out what really happened.
What good would it do now? They hate me for killing all those people and taking away their Hokage. They won't listen to reason Naruto, that's just how humans are.
They may not listen to me, but they would listen if the Hokage said something. Maybe we should ask him. It wouldn't hurt to find out now would it?
Tails didn't want to tell Naruto that some scars run deeper than others. But he did have a valid point. The question was how they would convince the Hokage that they were telling the truth and trying to stir up trouble. He said as much to the boy.
To this, Naru-chan answered the dilemma.
"If he won't listen to us, then we'll make him listen. We'll stir up some real trouble and make the older ninjas follow us back to the den. When they see the bones of my mother and the kits, they may start asking questions themselves. They definitely will wonder why a headband bearing their symbol is near the cave."
"That sounds good and all, but I doubt they would chase me that far. I do minor pranks that get me noticed but never in real trouble."
Tails chuckled, it was true he did mess up nearly every time, but he had never once thought of causing widespread havoc that might hurt other people. Then it hit him. There was one way to catch the village's attention without hurting others in the process! But it would be risky. If they failed, then the village would hunt down and kill the kits!
First we'll try the Hokage, then if that fails we'll do plan B. But only if we can't convince the Hokage!
Before they could implement the plan they had to get some serious help from the forest. In other words, they would have to convince Kyuubi-sama to go along if Plan A failed. He agreed, albeit reluctantly. Now the only thing they had to do was wait.
