-Akatsuki Base-
"No doubt about it Leader-sama." Said White Zetsu.

"It really was the Rinnegan, and the amount of control he had over it is immense, it's as if HE taught him everything about the Rinnegan, I haven't saw him use any of the paths yet, but, I saw six circles around his pupil, if that means anything, with your four, I think he has a more mature or stronger variant of the Rinnegan than you, it's as if there are multiple stages to it like the Sharingan, and the thing that really made me doubt we have the power to beat him is he can use Yin-Yang release." Black Zetsu said.

"Hm, indeed, since the Sharingan and all the other great Dojutsu was made from the Rinnegan, so it can make logical sense if there were also more stages to the Rinnegan, though, in order to further 'mature' the Rinnegan further I think it's the same or different, if it's the same, then good, but the latter, I don't think we'll be able to find how to mature it anytime soon, though, I really am wondering about the Yin-Yang release, the Yin-Yang release jutsu was called Judgement Beam, Naruto made a black ball in his hands, and punched it like his arm was using Hirashin itself, it had indescribable power, I think even more than the default Tailed Beast Ball. And if I remember correctly, all five elemental affinities completely mastered, and he used more than six paths, he has Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, and Hiruzen as his paths. I think he is planning to also use Madara Uchiha for one of his paths, Madara would be happy of the chance Naruto gave him also, so Madara will most likely get over the past conflicts with Hashirama, this could very well be the end of the Akatsuki and it's ultimate goal." White Zetsu said.

"We need to be on our toes. Hm." Said Deidara.

"Hn. Agreed." Guess who said this?

"He might prove to be a big challenge to the Akatsuki, so I will now make it so that all Akatsuki members travel in a group of atleast three, if going up againt him, I advise atleast four. This Akatsuki meeting is Adjourned." Pain said.

-Tsunade's Office-
"You sent for me, Baa-chan?" Said Naruto.

"Yes, this is an A rank mission, recently, Kumogakure has been more and more problematic, the three Jonin that we sent earlier have not been back, and estimates show they should've been back at the start of this week, so that means they have been missing for five or so days. We need you to go and check on them, if need-be, we will send you your Team. Also known as your Paths, and, I will make you the 7 Dragons of Konoha. You will have the Senju battle armour with a dragon instead of the Senju emblem. All others will wear a mask, if you so choose, you can wear a Kitsune mask. I have it right here." Tsunade said, drinking a bit of Sake after the big sentence was explained.

Naruto put on the mask and put on the Uniform as well, also known as the Battle armour just in-case.

"Oh and Naruto, if any Kumo-nin show any hostile actions, I want to to retreat, if retreat is not an option, use the Radio equipped into your mask, and remember, if Kumo show any hostile actions, don't hesitate to return fire. You got it?" Said Tsunade with a firm tone.

"Hai!" Said Naruto, then, he shunshinned out.

-A day later, at Kumo's gates-
Naruto reached Kumo's gates, only to be 'greeted' by the guards.

"Halt, business?" One of the guards said, supposedly Jonin like the other one.

"Kitsune, from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, our Jonin over here to discuss matters have gone missing, and I need to talk to the Raikage to carry on the matters." Naruto said in a stoic tone.

"It is none of your business to talk to the Raikage, he has busier matters to attend to, and he has said that any Konoha shinobi are not allowed to be let inside Kumo, now leave." The other guard said.

"I'm afraid I cannot do that since I am under direct orders from the Hokage, do NOT cross me. You will pay the price with war if you do not let me in, and I assure you, I alone can destroy an entire village." Naruto said.

"I did say, but, it can't be helped, raise the alarm, and attack! Raiton: Electromagnetic Murder!" A Kumo Jonin cried out.

"You have made hostile intentions towards Konoha, I have permission to use lethal force. Cease your attack immediately!" Naruto said in a Authoritive tone, giving off tonnes of KI.

"Never! Suiton: Wave Emergence!" The other Jonin said.

"Raiton: Electromagnetic Murder!" Another one said, Naruto then instantly reacted.

"Very well. DIE! Katon: Great Fire Annihilation!" Naruto said, making a massive wave of fire, decimating the other opponents jutsu. Naruto then went off to the Hokage.

The Raikage then appeared with a 'What the fuck did you just do' face.

-Hokage's Tower-
"Baa-chan, they did hostile intentions, consisting of not letting me in, using jutsu against me, three, to be exact, and, they also said that the Raikage said to not let any Konoha shinobi inside." Naruto said. Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

"Why would they do that? I know we were on a faulty friendship with them, but why would they attack you, and worst of all, the Raikage even said to not let any Konoha shinobi past. Hm. Something bad is going on here. Alright, good work Naruto, wait here, ANBU! Get me the other 6 Dragons of The Leaf!" Tsunade said, the ANBU replied with a 'Hai!' and shunshined away.

"Baa-chan, I don't know but I don't really believe that the Raikage would say to not let any Konoha shinobi inside Kumo, I mean, why would they even do that? What have we done to deserve it? And I think I have my suspicions confirmed, I think the reasons why the Jonin didn't return is because they were killed by Kumo. I have not the slightest idea why, but, I think the Raikage hasn't ordered something like that, I know he is a bit easy to anger, but whaat would drive him to do such a thing?" Naruto said. Tsunade just shook her head.

-End-
Building up for a good plot, well, atleast I think so! Hehe!
