Chapter 3
to bankai777: Unfortunately Miroku will not appear in this story aside from a small mention. Though Shion will definitely appear.
Konoha-gakure and Plans!
It was with a loud crash that a certain Taki-missing nin crashed into the wall of the Akatsuki-hideout. Kakuzu groaned in pain as his boss beat him to the sixth time that day. Sure, he trained hard too but the Uzumaki had simply inhumane stamina and he simply couldn´t keep up with him.
Naruto gave a small grin at his subordinate and if he was honest friend. They had spent half a year now training Kakuzu in the use of the Jiongu and he could proudly say the Taki-nin was already stronger than his alternate counterpart. Hell, he could probably give Jiraiya a run for his money. Given that the Toad-sage ranked in the top ten fighters he ever met that was saying something. Before his death Jiraiya could have easily defeated most S-rank nin and Kage. Only a few exceptions like Pain, Obito, Hashirama, Madara, Hiruzen in his prime and Naruto himself were stronger than the Sage.
Hell, even Narutos father would have lost against the Sage. Both his speed and the Rasengan were easily neutralised by his Hari Jizo defense jutsu. It would have taken using the Reaper-seal to defeat him which would result in Minatos death too and therefore was not a real win.
„Well, you can take a break Kakuzu. I have something to do now, so we will met later today to talk about your progress in mixing Chakra-natures"
Kakuzu merely winked him off before heading to his room.
Naruto looked annoyed before starting to meditate. He needed to try to decipher the timeline as best as possible for his plans to work.
Right now he was exactly fifty years in the past. Some people had said Konoha were hundred years old in his time but they were wrong. It was actually Hashirama who had been born hundred years before. The man had spent thirty years fighting in the clan wars before building Konoha which had taken roughly ten years, not only to build it but also to convince the different clans and Shinobi to join the village.
At the end of this time Tobirama had started training Hiruzen Sarutobi and his teammates, Madara left the village after Hashiramas announcement to Hokage than falling of the grid for seven years while Hashirama captured the Biju to distribute them among the villages. At the end of those years Madara would attack with the Kyubi.
He knew most of this from Tsunade. The woman was only four years old when her grandfather Hashirama went of to fight Madara and had a prime-seat to the slow eradication of the Senju.
Two years from now the young Hiruzen would start training the three Sannin though the first war would be over before their training would be complete. It had actually been the shortest of the three wars only lasting two years in all and would end after Tobirama killed of both the Shodaime Mizukage and Tsuchikage. The Shodaime Kazekage would later be killed in a rampage of the Ichibi when Bunpuku died of old age and the Shodaime Raikage would hold the seat until the Nidaime along with the Gold-Silver Brothers killed him.
Narutos attention shifted as a plant-like appendage slowly rose from the ground. As it split open he could see his newly created two-colored Zetsu.
„Yo, boss. We found her and she has agreed to join the group. It was not easy either, she was quite distrusting about our offer."
Naruto gave a smirk at Zetsus news. That particular person was someone where he didn´t have a slightest idea where she could have been. Which was the reason he sent Zetsu to recruit her.
„Well, than bring her to the meeting-room. Kakuzu and I will meet you there."
„Got it Boss!"
Zetsu vanished in the ground as Naruto walked to Kakuzus room. He knocked at the room only to sweatdrop when he heard Kakuzu cursing him to hell. It took only a moment before Kakuzu ripped the door open.
„What the hell is now? I thought i would have atleast a few hours break before you bother me again."
Naruto gave a smirk at Kakuzus attitude.
„We have a new recruit for the group, so we are going to the meeting-room. Come on!"
Kakuzu grumbled a bit before following Naruto. Entering the Meeting-room the both saw Zetsu sitting at one of the eleven seats. Beside him sat a woman which could only be described as beautiful. She had long Red hair and wore a simple Kunoichi-style armor. Left below her mouth she had a small beauty-mark.
This woman was Fuuka Uzumaki. A powerful Kunoichi who was banished after she used a Uzumaki-Kinjutsu to give herself all five elements. In the future she had been working with Kazuma/Furido of the twelve ninja guardians until Naruto killed her in battle.
Out of his eye Naruto saw Kakuzu flush slightly at the sight of the beautiful and sexy Kunoichi. Surpressing a smirk Naruto moved to his seat at the top of the table while Kakuzu sat himself on the third seat.
Naruto saw Fuuka mustering him and Kakuzu with some interest.
„Welcome, Fuuka. I´m quite happy that you decided to accept your membership in the Akatsuki."
Fuuka gave him a seductive smile as she responded to him.
„Well, your friend Zetsus offer was quite interesting. Your promise to give me access to all your organisations ressources in my Mercenary-duties will be quite useful. Not to mention now that the Hidden Villages are fully established it would be difficult for me to stand alone."
Naruto gave a smirk at her response.
„Indeed. Right now the Akatsuki are still in the infant stages. We first need to amass supporters, spys and ressources before we can start moving. Not to mention my plans will only really start in roughly fifty years. Failure is not an option after all."
Naruto threw something at Fuuka. As she catched it she saw it was a ring with the Kanji for „Three", confused she looked at the other three people in the room only to see that both Zetsu and Kakuzu had rings too. Kakuzus ring showed the Kanji „North" while Zetsus ring showed the Kanji for „Boar".
„This ring is the medium for a secret-jutsu that lets us gather via a projection. You are to not lose it, understood?"
At Narutos serious attitude Fuuka gave a small nod.
„Good, now you and Kakuzu are partners and responsible for Ressources-gathering which means you will hunt down bountys, raid bandit-camps, etc.
Zetsu, you have a new mission so meet me later."
The three Akatsuki-members nodded before leaving the room.
Naruto sat still in his seat before smirking.
„Everything goes perfectly, i think it is time to meet a certain Senju-woman."
The Akatsuki-leader vanished via Kamui.
His new goal: Konoha.
