Chapter 5
The Empire Shows Its might to the East
~Imperial Palace's Dungeons~
Jiraiya was brought and personally 'guided' by his two FOX guards down to the Palace's Dungeon where after a few minutes of 'Assisted' walking they finally reached his Cell.
Waiting by the cell door was two royal guards, and the moment Jiraiya was in front of the doors a Guard slapped a Tag onto his chest. Jiraiya could only watch as the tag's Ink began to spread across his Clothes before sinking in and sealing itself onto his body. He was informed that dinner would be served in a couple hours before the guards locked up left him alone to his own thoughts.
Jiraiya was not happy as he began looking around his prison cell. Jiraiya noted the plain Bed, chair, table which were all bolted and sealed to the floor. The basic bathroom necessities were present... though there would be no privacy as he suspected. He sat down on the chair and summarised that this type of cell would be used for those deemed important but not VIP important. Leaning forward and resting his elbows on the desk, he brought his hands up to support his face and began to reflect on his 'plan'
He had hoped that he could sneak into the empire just like he did in the other Hidden villages, retrieve his lost godson and bring him back home to not only make up for the time he should have being there for him and to also let him resign the Toad Contract but to also show the rest of the shinobi world and their former Allies that they brought him back home and hoped to get some of their former allies back on their side.
But that didn't happen, in fact everything went to shit the moment he stepped into the village and 'felt' the security seal on the main entrance go off and he had to make a break for it before the guards could find him.
But now he was looking at the situation he was left in now. Not only was he, the Great Sannin discovered and caught alive! But now had all his chakra sealed up and was being held prisoner in a foreign country which he entered illegally, such actions could result in an act of war... a war he knew Konoha would never win.
Jiraiya slowly began to nod off to sleep resting against his arms on the desk, remembered how the most powerful Hidden Village was turned into the weakest in a matter of months...
~Jiraiya's Mindscape Flashback~
When the information of what transpired in Konoha hit the other Elemental nations, from travelling traders and from reports from their own spies within.
That Tsunade had openly punished and demeaned a still recovering Shinobi in public. The Civilian council openly praised the Hokage in her punishing actions to said shinobi but also removed the Thirds Law* and revealed that not only was he in fact the Jinchuriki* Of the Kyuubi no Kitsune*, but also let 'slip' of the fate the loyal shinobi once he was recovered from both his wounds and his Kidnappers.
Furthermore were the actions again of the Last "Loyal" Uchiha, The civilian council let it be known that the Cursed Seal on Sasuke left by The Traitor Sannin Orochimaru 'Brainwashed' him and caused him to defect, and claimed that he broke free of the brainwashing and tried to return back to Konoha only to be stopped by the Evil 'Demon Child' and beaten to an Inch of his life. Though the Medical files of Uchiha Sasuke were 'edited' by the civilian council to show all the injuries sustained by the demon child, no report be it mission or medical was shown of the entire recovery team and specifically ALL of Uzumaki Naruto's Medical report for the mission was mysteriously 'lost' in a fire accident in the archives.
The outcry of the nations was Immediate, as each major nation made their own decree on the now 'missing shinobi' and the very valuable missing Jinchuriki.
The Yondaime Raikage* A openly stated to his own forces that should the two kidnappers known only at the time as Yami and Yuuki and the Jinchuriki Naruto be seen by any of his Shinobi forces they were to grant all three Immediate Political and Shinobi Protection and permission to enter Kaminari no Kuni* and be granted asylum with the option to join their Village Kumogakure* and to give Naruto Assistance in training with his Bijuu. Even as going as far as secretly allowing his own Jinchuriki Yugito Nii and the Raikage's own adopted brother Killer B* out on search parties.
*Though it should be Noted that after 3 search party attempts that Killer B was given a Iron claw to the Head and a full thrashing followed by a Lariat by his older adopted Brother A as he snuck off during one search to attend a rap concert in a neighbouring town and was hence forth never allowed to leave the village again.
Iwagakure Simply chose to hunt them down and collect the bounty from them, as a very large bounty had being offered on Uzumaki Naruto being captured alive by an anonymous client. Though when the two Iwa Jinchuriki living in seclusion Roshi and Han were informed they took off on their own to try find a wayward 'Brother' and looked throughout the Tsuchii no kuni and have since not being seen or heard of...
Kirigakure also took the same approach as Kumogakure and offered asylum to the three should they ever need assistance or sanctuary. Though with the current 'mess' of things in their own village by the previous actions of the Controlled Yondaime Mizukage Yagura, and the loss of the San-bi in a failed attempt by the remaining loyal forces of Yagura by sealing the San-bi intocaptured Konoha Kunoichi Rin and having her lose control in her home village but being unable to prevent her from killing herself by her team mate Kakashi when an opportunity presented itself. Their second Jinchuriki Utakatia is still considered MIA in Mizu no Kuni .
The new Godaime Mizukage Terumi Mei took the reconstruction and unification of her village and surrounding areas including the search for their own Missing Jinchuriki and locating the site of the San-bi's resurrection as a more pressing concern then looking for 3 Missing Shinobi's for the time being.
Sunagakure was a different matter altogether... Sabaku no Gaara The Jinchuriki of the Ichibi Shukaku who had learnt of what happened to his very first friend upon arriving back to his village after assisting in the recovery of Uchiha Sasuke simply walked out of the Kazekage building and into the desert. That night the whole village awoke to the Enraged Scream/roaring of not only the Ichibi Shukaku but of also Gaara.
Konoha had the 'Unfortunate' news told to them that Garra was going to be the Godaime Kazekage and sure enough when he was deemed old enough and had the support of the village he became the Godaime Kazekage and his first act as Kazekage was to Abolish the Alliance treaty between them and only left a Non aggressive treaty stating that while they were seen as 'Friendlies' Suna would do nothing in aiding or defending Konoha in any matter.
Konoha's civilian council secretly sent spokesman after spokesman trying to gain favour of the populous of Suna to denounce their Demon Kage and to install a more respectable Kage, though every month a "special" parcel came from Suna to the civilian council... that was the size of a matchbox.
Even worse though when Konoha released the information to each major hidden village that their Hokage was under the influence of a Foreign 'entity' Suna refused to answer any attempts of re-negotiating of their treaty.
The Minor villages and lands such as Takigakure, Yuki/Haru no Kuni, Cha no Kuni, Tori no Kuni and specifically Nami no Kuni were extremely... 'Displeased' with how Naruto was treated and subsequently choose to not renew their Treaties and in some cases were forbidden to even enter their lands under the threat of death as Daimyo Kazahana Koyuki had issued, along with the finding and protection of Uzumaki Naruto and his 'Saviours'.
What could be noted is that upon Takigakure hearing the news of the occurrences in Konoha. Their own Jinchuriki Fuuwho had the Nana-Bi disappeared a few months later. Only a few in the village missed her and tried to attempt a search and rescue
The Merchant and Banking Guilds throughout the civilian and Shinobi nation had Blacklisted Konoha as chose to either direct their own wares and businesses opportunities offers to other lands at a cheaper price, refuse products/services from Konoha Or choosing to continue to deal with Konoha at double to triple the rate.
This caused not only Konoha's Economy to drop very fast but also alerted the Hi no Kuni Daimyo as he lost not only economically but also lost his Political standing with the Other Daimyo.
Something that he made quite clear on his visit to Konohagakure no Sato.
~Flash Back three month after Naruto's 'Kidnapping"~
The entire village council... Shinobi, Civilian, Elder and a still recovering Tsunade with Shizune faithfully at her side, along with Jiraiya and a Neko Masked ANBU were all sitting silently as the Daimyo looked over each member, his fan covering his face as his Samurai Guard's surrounded the table and each one of them had a hand on their Katana sheaths as the Shugonin Jūnishi* Stood at the readyclose to their Daimyo.
"SO can anyone tell me why I have Not only lost my Standing with the other Daimyo but lost over 60 Percent of Revenue to Hi no Kuni!?" The Daimyocalmly but furiously ask he looked over everyone. But before Tsunade or the Elders could speak, a female civilian council member stood up and beat them to it.
"Daimyo-Sama, the only person at Fault here is the Demon Child Uzumaki Naruto" All the Shinobi in the room turned their gaze to her and though they couldn't emit their K.I* to her for fear of retaliation against the Daimyo's Guards, the look in their eyes said all they needed to say.
"The demon child has gone and brainwashed them all with deceit and lie's about our proud and wonderful Village and Nation" Brushing her Pink hair from her *CoughBILLBOARDcough* brow she gave the Daimyo a Sweet smile "The only way we can recover from this is to find and kill the demon child. Then all he has done will simply wash away and we shall be seen as a wonderful loving place again"
The civilian side of the council broke into applause while everyone else in the room remained silent. It was a Tense minute while everyone watched the Daimyos face go from a healthy colour to a rage filled red "You FUCKING STUPID SOW!" he roared at the stunned council member's causing said standing member to fall onto her chair "Uzumaki Naruto had nothing to do with it and you know it!" Stomping over to the now seated and shaking council woman he slammed his hands down onto the table "I have done a VERY thorough investigation with my OWN Shugonin Jūnishi* and the results were very... VERY UNSATISAFCTORY HARUNO SAYURI!" The Daimyo's face now blood red as his vein's started to show and truly Intimidated Sayuri
"Daimyo Sama" Tsunade said weakly, Shizune at her side helping her Stand and gently healing her with the Shōsen Justu* "Any and all fault should fall onto me" Pushing Shizune aside she tried to Bow before him, having to rest her hands against the table to do so "If I had only being more careful..."
"Senju Tsunade-Hime... You have no right to apologize for all the actions that have taken place" waving his hand to let Tsunade sit down and to let Shizune return to healing Tsunade. "Your unfortunate incident with that... snake thing certainly did cause a lot of problems but I cannot blame you for the action that has being taken. Though the reports on the civilian council speak for itself" Waving his hand a Member of the Shugonin Jūnishi passed out several folders to the Shinobi council and elders.
The sounds of sharp inhales and gasps rang through the Shinobi side as the majority of Civilian council began to sweat.
"Everything that they have done have caused untold damage to not only Konoha but to Hi no Kuni as well for years to come!" Inoichi spoke out, looking up at the council as he slammed down the report he had read. About how the civilian council was raiding and seizing complete warehouses full of goods and re-selling it through their own trusted 'Stores" while siphoning off a good cut of the profits to several hidden accounts while some of the money just simply disappeared.
Hiashi Hyuuga Then spoke "Changes in the Education system for Shinobi Training to allow more Civilian families easier access to the ranks by reducing the requirements needed to join... encouraging more emphasis on the Uchiha clan and only Minor details on the clans and the Abolishment of all topics and information on the Cousin clan of the Senju's The Uzumaki Clan this is a Blatant Insult to not only all the clans of the Village but to the Uzumaki clan WHO HELPED Found out Village and made the Ultimate Sacrifice during the Third Shinobi war!" as he had his Byakugan activated and was just staring right at the civilian council.
Danzo was swearing his head off at the civilian council in his head 'Damn them stupid fools... now not only have they possibly shown evidence of my ROOT program but they have caused them now to not only look into my and the Elders attempts to make the Uzumaki clan disappear as they should have but they have also lost MY weapon... how can I take this to my advantage' He thought of Using Shisu's Sharingan to his advantage but the stupid old fools sudden change from anger to calm would raise questions
But before Danzo could speak Shikaku stood up and beat him to it. "Not only that Hiashi... It looks like lowering the academy standards was also done so that more civilian families that has closer ties to important sections of the Village or those close to the council members who offered Shares and possible business opportunity exclusive to them only" Tossing the files to the floor "And the worst is not only trying to force the Shinobi Banks to surrender the account's of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina but also Employing any and all available Seal breakers in secret to try access the Namikaze Compound!?" he screamed
If Danzo was pissed, he was furiously pissed off now 'they left a PAPER TAIL?!' he roared in his head as he gave the civilian side of the council a death glare. 'I have being trying to get inside that compound and claim all the Yondaime's Jutsu's and they may have now blown it!' he thought bitterly
The Room suddenly went deal silent as Jiraiya started to laugh out loud and gain everyone's attention.
"Seriously? You tried to hire any seal master to break my Students Seals? How stupid can you be?" Laughing he moved closer to the table and laid the folder he was reading onto the Desk and gave the entire room a serious glare.
"You do know the seal's are blood locked and any attempt to break them will cause the entire sealed perimeter to collapse on itself and cease to exist! And Further More how dare you try and access their bank accounts! They have being set up for a reason. And to be left out of your greedy hands" with that
It was then that Haruno Sayuri gained enough courage to speak again "WE have to get access to them! Our Beloved Yondaime Hokage left all his finance's behind when he saved us from the Kyuubi! With those funds we could expand and grow this village to a greater level of prestige!"
Danzo was only thinking how the Finances of the late Yondaime could be used to expand and empower his own ROOT... while the Pink haired Howler Monkey kept screaming.
"And That Horrible Monster of a Kunoichi Uzumaki Kushina was rumoured to be the Heir of Uzushio-Gakure*! And has had the entire village's fund's to herself! But because of the Stupid Shinobi Bank's Both accounts that now sits unused and untouched collecting Interest from the banks and the investments throughout not only Konoha but throughout Hi no Kuni they made together!"
Jiraiya thought to himself as she ranted and raved 'Is she really that stupid to not be able to connect the dots and see that Both Minato and Kushina were doing all the Investments together? Let alone they were dating each other... Must be a fan girl thing...'
~MEANWHILE AT THE KONOHA HOSPITAL~
Sakura who was fawning over the currently unconscious Sasuke Sneezed
"Oh Sasuke-Kun must be dreaming about me" She squealed to herself as she watched said person sleep
~BACK TO THE COUNCIL ROOM~
It was then the representative for both the Shinobi and civilian banks, who had travelled from with the Daimyo stood up "As it has being said to you many times council member, the account's of the deceased Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina are to be sealed until their heir comes to claim them" Haruno Sayuri went to scream in objection but a loud cough from the Daimyo silenced her instantly.
"If the accounts in question have not being claimed in the span of 30 years, then the funds inside them will be transferred to the Hokage's village trust fund where the leader will decide where the funding will go as stipulated in our terms and conditions upon signing the contract to open an account in this land" Sitting back down and Ignoring the death glare from Haruno Sayuri.
The room went deal silent for a moment until Danzo spoke "So the compound, the treasured items and finance's of our beloved Yondaime Hokage are lost forever?" Jiraiya gave the old war hawk a steady glare "Oh no, they aren't lost they are simply sealed away until the day that the Yondaime's Son should return. But thanks to you idiots I doubt..."
"Jiraiya!" The two Elders Koharu and Homaru screamed out together "That is a triple S rank secret and NO ONE MUST KNOW!" This intrigued everyone's interest, Especially Danzo and the Daimyo
"OH So young Minato-sama and Kushina-chan did have a Child?" the Daimyo asked hopeful as he was informed the dreaded night that He and his pregnant wife had died the night of the Kyuubi's attack.
The Entire council room was shocked into silence, even the Howling *cough pink monkey cough* Haruno Sayuri... but that pleasure was only short lived "He choose another woman over me?!" she screamed and now was trying to plan how to get her daughter to fawn all over his legacy 'I will get the life I deserve!'
Jiraiya looked directly at the Daimyo, showing the lonely sadly in his eyes only to him "Yes Sire, and it's my unfortunate responsibility that thanks to them" Pointing to the civilian council and ignoring the Pleas and demands of Koharu and Homaru "That Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto is now no longer in this village"
And what seemed to be for a second time, the entire council room was silenced. Haruno Sayuri was doing a wonderful Impression of a Goldfish out of water opening and closing her mouth.
"This is Impossible!" a rather fat civilian called out "IF we know Yondaime-Sama had left a child we would have made sure that everything the child wanted Was given to him!"
Finally a new voice rang out through the room, Aburame Shibi who for the first time in the knowledge of the current council members stood up and spoke...
"Just like the logical choice you have done with Uchiha Sasuke?" realization hit in instantly for the Shinobi and took a bit longer for the Civilian council to not understand so Aburame Shibi explained.
"IF young Uzumaki-san had in fact being told of his heritage and addressed as Namikaze-sama" raising his finger at the civilian side "Logic would dictate that you all would have done anything within your power to not only win favour with him but to try and ensure that your own personal goals were meet before his own. And highly likely to arrange Marriage contracts with Civilian women to ensure you could hold onto his power and wealth"
The civilian council side snorted in disagreement but for all the women and male members who had daughters were now trying to figure out how to convince their children or themselves to seduce and rob Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto of everything that he was to receive.
Turning his finger to the 3 Elders "You three would have acted the same way as you have to young Uchiha-san... need I say anything more logical?" to which the two elders Koharu and Homaru turned their heads in shame for such blatant dishonour they felt from treating their Hero's child...
Danzo kept a neutral face and was only thinking how to acquire Konoha's weapon and with the power of Both Uzumaki Kushina's Fuinjutsu Knowledge and the Yondaime's Personal technique the Hiraishin no Jutsu to empower his ROOT forces and take control of not only Konoha but the rest of the Shinobi villages Under his rule forever.
Shibi then turned to the Shinobi council "And logic would dictate that though your clan and my own clan would have done everything in our powers to protect and nurture young Naruto as he grew, and our clan councils would all try find a way to be in Uzumaki-san's good favour, and as the civilian council would have logically thought of to approached Uzumaki-san's legal guardians or Uzumaki-san directly himself as he got older to offer marriage contracts"
But to everyone's horror he turned his finger to the Daimyo "And Logic would see that you would have tried to stripped Young Uzumaki-san of all his political power or found a way to incorporate them into your own... being the last known Uzumaki alive and hence would have inherited not only his father's status but also his mothers political status... Logic dictates this quite clearly and for my dear friend to decree what he did on the day he died was to ensure Young Uzumaki-san would grow up as a normal boy... but we can see how illogically the civilian council thought and acted"
Everyone in the room was dead silent... and Inuzuka Tsume could have sworn she heard a mouse fart with her enhanced hearing. The shinobi council bar the Aburame Clan, the Hyuuga Clan and the Kurama clan all bowed their heads in disrespect, where Tsume hit the desk with her fist also. The civilian council and the Elders were trying to speak but while some tried to, others had bowed their own heads in shame.
The Daimyo was horrified at the 'Logical' conclusion that the Aburame put against him should the orphaned child's status be known and wanted to refute him... But knew that it was true and chose to remain silent
After Aburame Shibi had sat down the room enjoying its rare and few moments of peaceful quietness for the third time... before Inuzuka Tsume got up and began punching the wall while crying her eyes out and blabbering an apology to someone, though no one could catch the name as it was too illegible under the crying and yelling. To which Shizune made a Shadow clone and a hidden purpled hair ANBU appeared to calm down the distraught woman
Then the reaction Shibi had being expecting came, logically he told his hive to block his ears so he could block out most of the noise out before he sat down.
After a couple hour's of long arguments, mainly a small section of the civilian council claiming 'Innocence' to the fact that they had deliberately sabotaged and abused the son of the greatest hero of their village while the majority claim that it was a joke and that Naruto was nothing but a demon.
Surprisingly the Shinobi side was begging to send out all available clan members to aid in the search of Naruto, to find and return him so that they may try to regain their honour again for failing the fallen Yondaime Hokage.
It was the Daimyo who stood up and slammed his hand onto the table "Konoha will suffer greatly for this travesty!" and with that turned around and left with his guard's and other dignitaries.
Tsunade who had being silent mostly due to her recovering injury spoke "Everything that has happened in this council room will be regarded as a triple S rank secret. Should ANYONE reveals what happened in here to anyone outside... There will be no trial... no court case... nothing... I will simply have you killed where you stand... Status be fucked" And with that she got up and walked away.
Slowly one by one the council members left and returned to their homes or clans. Some to inform them the importance of finding and returning Uzumaki Naruto back home to Konoha, where other civilian members got together and tried to plan how to force the demon child to remain in Konoha long enough so that they may have enough time to raid the Yondaime and his wife's wealth and power, and to ensure that the demon brat's legacy runs solely through their family only.
It was until Tsunade returned to the Hokage private living quarters in the Hokage tower with Shizune that she dropped to the Bed and broke down crying. Shizune too had tears running down her face as she tried to keep up with healing Tsunade.
While Jiraiya Stood outside the door of said room his own tears running down his cheeks as he swore on his life 'I will find you and bring you home Naruto..."
~Flashback Ends~
Jiraiya was brought back to reality as the guard banged against the prisons door bars and pushed forward a tray of food onto the shelf on the door "Eat it before it gets cold and please keep any noise to a minimum" before walking away.
Jiraiya cautiously approached and took the food and slowly began to eat it, tasting for any poisons or any drugs in it... Once he was sure that it was safe he consumed it all, smirking after he ate he let out a loud Belch to annoy the guards before proceeding to go to bed and 'sleep'
~Later that night~
Jiraiya was standing up looking into the mirror and what light that was being shined from the weak light bulb as he tried to inspect the seal on his chest that wrapped around his body.
"Blasted seal" Jiraiya complained as he tried to access his chakra but could feel the seal instantly drain Jiraiya of it and give a burning sensation through his chest. Deciding he had enough information about its design and structure he returned to the chair and desk and with the paper and pencil provided he began to draw a rough sketch of what he could see of the seal.
'It's defiantly an Uzumaki design... But it is of a different construct... but how did they get it?" Jiraiya pondered as he slowly traced the pencil over the spiral he had drawn on the paper... Standing up and moving to the cell's edge and slightly peaking his head out he found the guards down the end playing a card game.
"Perfect" Jiraiya Smirked as he moved to the back corner of his cell "Well here goes nothing" Gulping and forming the ram symbol, Jiraiya poked his fingers into his mouth and pushed against "kai" he muttered as he could feel the Seal in the back of his mouth release a small amount of chakra, Just enough for the seal in his throat to activate before the main seal sucked it away
'Here it Urgh...' was all Jiraiya thought before be 'Vomited' up a Small toad in a Black Cloak. Before the Toad could even make a sound Jiraiya already had his hand around the toad's mouth
"I'm sorry Fukasaku-sama but I need you to listen and notice the area we are in" to which the small toad nodded as Jiraiya let go of his mouth.
"Jiraiya-chan" Fukasaku whispered "It seems to me that you were captured no?" to which Jiraiya could only shamefully nod "I see" the toad pondered as he hopped down from the table onto the floor "Well guess I'll have to save the day once again... This time I hope it's not from a horde of angry women... or for that matter a village full of women you have angered" Fukasaku croaked as quietly and as humorously as he could.
"I assure you that it is not the case" Jiraiya spoke softly, he slowly looked around to ensure he was still alone "Though I am a bit of a Pickle" Pointing to his chest so Fukasaku "My entire Chakra network has being sealed off and I don't have a clue how to unseal it nor how to combat it"
Fukasaku squinted as he tried to view the seal in the poor light. "Hmm I can't do anything about that sorry Jiraiya-chan" clapping his hands together he closed his eyes "Hmmm..." Fukusaku then proceeded to hop towards the jail door "I will try and get the key to your cell door... For some reason I am unable to reverse summon... perhaps a seal within this prison?"
Just as Fukusaku was about to jump out of the cell, a cold voice rang out "You are not going anywhere..." Jiraiya froze as he heard a voice he hadn't heard in a long time
"Hello Kyoufu*..." Stepping out of the shadows in the corridor, Jiraiya moved to the cell's door and tried to stick his head out but the seal on his chest reacted to this action and caused him to pull it back in... Something Fukusaku took notice of.
Jiraiya could only stare as he saw the figure finally step out into the available light but Jiraiya knew in a In an instant who it was
"Naruto?" Both Fukasaku and Jiraiya spoke softly
~Konoha 2 week after Jiraiya's Capture~
Tsunade was extremely worried. Jiraiya had missed his call in message a week ago and now feared she had lost someone else dear to her heart.
"You stupid oaf... you better be just checking in late... I don't know what to do if you were gone too" she muttered to herself as she finished filling out paperwork
Looking over the village she saw the state it was in now. Where over ten years ago when she took office, the village was full of life and prosperity... now the village was a former shadow of itself.
A few days after the meeting with the Daimyo A civilian council member, one Hidemo Shikunji who was in charge of the market district had gone against what Tsunade had ordered and told his little 'Market council' the truth of the meeting and with that his fate was sealed.
Once the 'Market council' had started to blab to the populous they were all rounded up by the ANBU but it was too late. It was discovered by Ibiki through his 'persuasive' method's with a few of his 'visitors' how they learnt the secret's of the SSS ranked meeting through Hidemo and his personal market council.
Needless to say they were all brought before Tsunade so she could go through with her promise and personally delivered the punishing blow.
But the damage done by them was irreversible. The truth of Uzumaki's lineage spread like wild fire and the typical reaction came.
Just under half of the civilian populous outright denied the truth and demanded the Immediate death should the Demon ever return to the village. The other half, mainly the Shinobi forces were horrified that they had not only dishonoured their Beloved Yondaime Hokage but they had allowed the civilians to abuse and torture their Hero's only child.
The final quarter of civilians and a small section of the shinobi forces could not live with the shame of what they did or allowed to happen to their Hero's chid and simply chose to end their life.
Tsunade was greatly saddened by this loss of unnecessary life but was irrelevant as once the other Elemental Nations found out it was as her Tokubetsu Jonin* Mitarashi Anko Put it "Konoha has being hit by a shit storm" and further more Konoha lost its position among the other nations.
The Fire Daimyo also lost his standing among the other Daimyos and in retaliation taxed Konoha heavily. The civilian council were outraged about the additional taxes imposed on them as it was their fault for how Naruto was treated through the years. Though Tsunade couldn't say it she loved the reaction of the civilian council and the additional taxes owed by them.
Though it was surprising to find some members of the civilian had used funds from accounts that were unknown to even those within Hi no Kuni's taxation department so once those who had hidden accounts outside Hi no Kuni and were evading taxation were caught were taxed even further. Though some managed to cover their tracks and not get caught.
~At Konoha's Kekkai-Han*~
Nothing Interesting was happening today, as Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki and the rest of the Interception division were currently playing cards
"So boring..." Kotetsu sighed as he dropped two cards "things were much more interesting when Naruto use to pull his pranks" The entire interception team let out a chuckle as they all started to reflect on the Orange clad Shinobi's prank's during his Academy years.
"So think we will ever find him again?" A Branch Hyuuga team mate asked as he dropped 3 cards. "It would do great to see Lady Hinata Smile again like the old days" It was no secret that Hyuuga Hinata had a crush on the young Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto.
When the village praised and thanked Kami that he was gone Hinata fell into a depression until after a clan meeting a year after her attitude changed after rumours she murdered a Elder in cold blood after he bad mouthed Naruto and the young heiress's love and adoration of him.
And ever since that day the Young Heiress had turned from the sweet kind hearted girl to a cold and generally uncaring Hyuuga Princess and soon to be Clan head, only her team and those who treated Naruto as a real person she showed emotion. Something that the Hyuugs branch members truly missed and wished to return...
"Okay ladies shall we finish this game?" Izumo smirked as he looked over his cards "I'm feeling lucky today" he sang as everyone prepared to show their cards.
"CODE RED I REPEAT CODE RED" A detection member screamed Alerting the Interception team who immediately jumped from their desk to the room, As the interception team looked up to the Floating ball of water resembling the seal around Konoha they saw four spikes slowly begin to push into the water Sensor sphere
"4 Subject's approaching the village... two of them rank Jonin level... One Kage... and the other... is BIJUU LEVELED!" Screamed the robbed man
'Could Naruto have returned?' everyone in the interception team thought. "Where are they headed?" The Hyuuga Branch member asked as he activated his Byakugan to try and locate them Himself. "Targets are approaching... the main gate?" The robbed detection member seemed to ask himself. "Estimated time of arrival... 25 minutes. Why are they taking so long?"
"We better Inform Hokage-Sama" Kotetsu said as he tapped Izumo's Shoulder and both made a break for the Hokage Tower while the other members split off and headed to the ANBU HQ to acquire reinforcements to follow and prepare for any situation.
~Hokage Office~
Tsunade was smiling as she finally finished signing off the final paperwork and had retrieved a clear glass bottle from between her... cleavage "ah personally bottled sake after a long day of work" Tsunade smiled as she slowly began to drink from it
"HOKAGE-SAMA!" Izumo screamed as he burst through the door, only to receive an empty bottle to the head. "Tsunade sama I did warn him" Shizune said as she and Kotetsu entered the room
"Hokage-sama we have come to report a code red from the Kekkai-Han, 4 Individuals are approaching the village's main gate" Tsunade Snorted "And why would that be considered a Code red?" she asked in disbelief. Izumo who had gotten up answered immediately "One of them has Bijuu level chakra!" And with that Tsunade was up "Could it be Naruto?!" she screamed as she ran past them and headed out of the building towards the front out of tyhe
~Just outside Konoha's Main Gate~
"It seems that Konoha has being alerted to our Position" Walter spoke as he wiped his Monocle and put it back on.
"SO what do we do after we hand the scroll over?" Asked a tall young man, only wearing a White trench coat with the Kanji Kyōdai-ai* and fixing the straps on what appears to be a knuckle duster gauntlet
"Simple, we Find the Strongest fighters in this Pathetic Village and have some fun!" Spoke the Taller Companion, dressed in a Black Hakama* and Keiko-Gi*and was wearing a white Coat with the Number 11 Stitched on its back.
"But Ken-chan! I want to go to a Hot spring and have some Chocolate!" A small pink haired girl said as she bonked her fist on top of his head. "Calm down Yachiru we will get you a lot of chocolate" 'Ken-chan' said as Yachiru began to squeal in happily"
Walter Smiled at the interaction between Kenpachi and his adopted daughter, Turnign his head he could see Konoha's Gates were only a few minutes away and his eye narrowed at the now large formed group of Konoha's forces now stood at the ready at the gate with what Walter Presumed to be the Hokage.
"This will be quite interesting..." Walter said as he adjusted his monocle.
~Konoha's POV~
Tsunade Stood hopeful at the village's main gate, Praying to Kami almighty that it was Naruto and perhaps some friends he made while he was gone and that he was coming home.
Hatake Kakashi stood alongside Tsunade, when he heard from a Friend in ANBU that they were being deployed to a Bijuu levelled Person approaching the main gate with several other high levelled members.
He too hoped that it was Naruto. Out of all the Shinobi Shamed by their actions he personally felt like he was the most dishonoured... being Minato's own student he should have being there for Naruto when he was growing up, but he believed that once he was Naruto's Sensei he could take better care of him.
But the civilian council and the elder's put a stop to that and convinced Kakashi he had to support Uchiha Sasuke and began to Neglect not only Naruto but his other student Haruno Sakura, who had become a student under Tsunade for a while...
A crowd slowly began to form of both civilian and Shinobi, the Shinobi because they were informed of the sudden deployment of ANBU where the civilian were just curious as to why their Hokage and a deployment of Shinobi and ANBU at the front gate. The Civilian and Shinobi Clan heads all stood with Tsunade and awaited the arrival of the four travellers...
~Back to normal POV~
It was a tense 5 minutes before the four travellers arrived at the Front gate and the Konoha group stood silently as the Hokage Stepped forward, Upset that Naruto wasnt with them but choose to welcome them anyway.
"Greetings travelers and welcome to Konohagakure" She offered her hand towards the man wearing a suit and a Monocle
"I thank you for meeting us Hokage Sama, I am Walter C. Dornez, to my left is Kenpachi Zaraki, Leader of the Eleventh Legion and his adopted Daughter Yachiru Kusajishi" Kenpachi steps forward with Yachiru sitting on his shoulder, grinning sadistically at Tsunade he mocks a two finger salute "Greetings" where Yachiru Giggled and waved "Hello pretty blond lady"
Tsunade Nodded and greeted them back but was slightly confused 'the Eleventh Legion... who in the Elemental nations has a legion?' Walter then moved his hand to his right "And to my right is the Second in command of the Kyōdai-ai's* Battle Monk Division, known as Second Brother" Second simply waved his hand giving a casual hello.
"I don't mean to be disrespectful Walter-san but may I ask why you are here?" Tsunade inquired, utterly confused of who they were or why they are here.
"Oh yes one moment Hokage-sama" Walter then pulled out a small scroll from his pouch, with both hands he passed it to the Hokage. She could see the Intricate Wax Seal on the scroll and she knew in an instant it couldn't be good...
"Under the Orders of His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor has ordered Myself, Kenpachi, Yachiru and Second Brother to personally deliver this message for you from the Emperor himself, and to Inform you that the one known in this village as The Gama Sennin, one of the Densetsu no Sannin known as Jiraiya Has being captured and is to be trialled for crimes against our Empire" Walter Smiled as he handed the scroll over to the Shocked Hokage
"Wh...wh...what for? And what proof do you have?" Tsunade asked 'Oh Kami please let the a cruel prank and that your okay Jiraiya' Tsunade was screaming in her head. The crowd gasped in shock. Jiraiya was seen as a legend, not for his ICHA ICHA Publications but for his ability to sneak into places undetected and being unable to being captured but to hear that not only had Jiraiya Failed but was captured alive!
Walter smiled slightly sadistically as he pulled out Jiraiya's Forehead protector with the Myōbokuzan Symbol etched into it and several Strands of white hair.
"Why for the attempted kidnapping of our empires beloved hero Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto"
AND DONE!
