Chapter 5-Making a Statement
Naruto looked at Whirlpool Country from atop the tower of Isengard, seeing he had much to work with given this country was destroyed back when his parents were Genin, and the Third Hokage was far from retirement. The fields needed cleaning, buildings needed to be repaired, and just about everything that was broken in his Mother's homeland needed to be fixed.
Fortunately, Naruto had the means, muscle, and power to make it all happen with the army now being spawned below. One of the things Naruto made sure about his spawning pool was that the Orcs, Elves, and Uruk-hai all remembered how to do what he ordered them to like it was second nature. Forging, building, fighting, shooting arrows, wielding swords, and everything up to blinking was known to his forces.
After checking to make sure all his body parts were intact, Naruto went to make sure all of the things he brought with him from Middle Earth made it too, and then set things in motion to bring about his grand plan for the Elemental Countries. First, his Nazgul were in need of transportation, which of course got all nine their fell beasts immediately, and horses in the event they are staying on the main continent of the Elemental Countries. Next came the building and repairing of different places within Whirlpool on account of the extensive damage done to it. The Orcs he spawned worked tirelessly to do their part while the Elves went to work the forges making their armor, weapons, and preparing for the upcoming war. The Uruk-hai were being produced at a slower rate then the Elves or the Orcs for the moment since need to mass produce them all was not necessary for now.
What mattered was making Whirlpool the beginning of the end for the different areas of the Elemental Countries with Konoha and Fire Country being the first to fall. Another thing he spawned at an average rate were the Ents, as he would need them to regulate the forest regions of his Mother's homeland, and make sure the Orcs don't take more then they need.
"What do you wish us to do first my Lord?" said the Witch King, as he was on his fell beast, and awaiting orders from Naruto.
"First, we need to find out what has changed in the last few years since I've been here, and I know the perfect person to give it to me. Go to Suna in Wind Country. Seek out Sabaku no Gaara and tell him an old friend with nine demon tails wishes to have a talk with his fellow brother," said Naruto seeing the Witch King nod and fly off high above in the clouds to not be spotted by anyone.
"The ports are nearly completed my Lord. Soon we will begin production of the needed ships required to ride the seas," said one of the Orcs behind Naruto.
"Excellent. Keep me informed of the progress," said Naruto seeing the Orc bow and leave before an Elf arrived showing him some of the weapons his kin made.
"These weapons were just finished my Lord. The vast metal ore laying underneath the earth of Whirlpool have allowed us to produce great quality weapons," said the Elf, as let Naruto inspect one of the swords the Namikaze requested be made like that of a samurai, but with runes on the blade to detect bloodline users like some blades the Elves made to detect Orcs back in Middle Earth.
"Excellent. I expect a sheathe for this one soon," said Naruto seeing the Elf nod and leave him to think about other things.
Like his mate, who even now could sense his return, and was silently overjoyed by this surprising news. Naruto himself had a pleasant dream last night seeing his vixen again, and telling her the good news. She wanted to know when he would come for her and Naruto had told Hinata that it would be sometime on account of Konoha making him a wanted man for killing Uchiha Sasuke. Hinata understood, as she knew Naruto would help her escape the Leaf when the time was right, and when her love had the means to prevent the Hyuuga woman from being taken away from them.
"What do you wish of me my Lord?" said the Nazgul titled the Knight of Umbar.
"Yes. I want you and your brothers to fly around the Elemental Countries. I want you to find out which ones are in trouble. Ones ready to be conquered in the future. Also, if you find any samples belonging to dragons let me know, as I would like to have a few for the spawning pool, and increase our power," said Naruto seeing the other Nazgul receive the command and take to the air.
"Weathertop is nearly repaired my Lord," said the Orc in charge of that project.
"Good make sure an armory is built as an extension to it and an emergency supply depot hidden underneath just in case," said Naruto seeing the Orc bow and proceed to do as commanded.
Walking down to what Naruto considered to be the command area of the tower where the Palantir was located and activated it for recon purposes in seeing what the Nazgul would possibly miss. With it, he saw Gaara was the Kazekage of Suna, and doing paperwork given to him by his secretary trying to hide her blush. Naruto smirked at that, as he had suspected years of isolation from the village populous to make Gaara unaware of the female gender, and would need the help of his sister to make her little brother become a man.
Switching the orb to Lightning Country, Naruto focused on seeking out another of his kin, and saw the Nibi vessel Nii Yugito running for her life while severely injured. She was being pursued by members of the Akatsuki and it was making the Namikaze's blood boil at the sight of one of his sisters being hunted down like an animal. Fortunately, one of his Nazgul titled The Dark Marshal was nearby, and Naruto ordered the Ring Wraith rescue the Nibi vessel from their clutches while killing the two members of Akatsuki in the process.
Expanding further to other regions of the Elemental Countries, Naruto saw a miserable women in a palace in what he determined was Snow Country, and the Namikaze found out why. The woman's advisors had marks on the Leaf secretly imprinted into either their hands or neck meaning that they were tied to Konoha with them putting the country's interests second to that of the Leaf. Looking back at the woman, Naruto saw she was the actress named Fujikaze Yukie, but from what he was hearing through the Palantir, these so called "Royal Advisors" were calling her Princess Koyuki, and clearly trying to have the woman do things that benefited the Leaf more then Snow Country. However, what surprised Naruto was the country was not like its name the way he remembered it, but rather had been renamed Spring Country. According to Hinata, it happened when a machine was used to bring that season to the country thanks to Leaf Genin Team 8, Genin Team 9 when Tsunade assigned them the mission.
He had nearly forgotten that.
However, it was clear the Leaf had dug themselves in deep with the country after the mission was over, and were now with a hefty amount of influence there. The train system the country would make an excellent means of transportation for Whirlpool should the plans ever be acquired to make his own. Of course, Naruto wouldn't take it by force, as he felt they could be won in a form of negotiations with the Princess, and even become allies with her for freeing the country of those bureaucrats.
Redirecting the Palantir away from Spring Country, Naruto focused on Water Country, and saw the Mist village was finally stabilizing with their new Mizukage. A lovely red haired woman, who had a figure that could make a man's neck snap when turning his head to look, and then die in the process. Though she seemed to be struggling with the fact that her village was falling apart due to the reign of the last Mizukage and what he did to weaken it before the coup d'état against him succeeded.
So much pain in the world and so little time to correct it. The Elemental Countries was in a state of being completely crippled by the cancer that the human race had put it in with only a minority of them trying to stop it. Naruto knew that the only way to purge this evil was to unleash an even greater evil and burn this cancer away through his slowly growing war machine. The world would be bathed in shadow and flame through his war with the end of the tumor the human race created within their own species being eliminated. The ones wishing to stabilize it would be shown mercy and even given a chance to join his ranks to further bring about the end of hypocrisy this world had been put in for so long.
First, he needed to gather an army to make it happen, and give them competent generals to lead them into battle. Fortunately, Naruto had quite a few in mind, but first he needed to retrieve them, and show that his side was the winning one.
With the Ring of Power, Naruto would make them see, and then make them understand why it was best to be at his side then in his path.
(Konoha-Weeks Later)
Konoha was a flurry of activity, as it was every day since the time of its founding over hundreds of years ago by the various members of the Senju, and Uchiha Clan with other clans coming together with civilians to create the strongest of Shinobi villages in all of the Elemental Countries. However, today was much busier then usual because of the rumors coming in from merchants, foreign dignitaries , and possible clients requiring assistance from the Leaf.
Whispers had been spreading of something moving from the East of Fire Country where Whirlpool Country was and had not been occupied since its destruction ages ago. Many thought someone was trying to rebuild Whirlpool to its former greatness, which prompted spies being sent from various villages, but were never heard from again, and the heads of those spies were found dropping from the sky over the various villages they were from.
Another thing that was troublesome, at least for Kumo anyway was the loss of their Nibi vessel, who was rumored to be taken by the mysterious force from Whirlpool, and had enraged the Raikage to no end. It didn't matter to the man that two bodies of the Akatsuki organization consisting of a group made of S-class Missing Nin, who were pursuing Nii Yugito, and were found to be mere dark smears of their surroundings where she was last seen. The only thing Kumo had to go on was that whoever took the Nibi vessel had let out a loud shriek that scared everything within 10 miles to go into hiding.
What was even more disturbing, for Konoha anyway, was the rumors of Sabaku no Gaara meeting the leader of this shadowy force in Whirlpool, and that the Kazekage had a smile on his face that had scared the crap out of his older siblings the moment they saw it on his face since they knew after Naruto's disappearance four years ago at the Valley of the End Gaara never smiled...unless he was killing someone strong.
But what really scared them was the fact this smile was not one of those smiles.
Another rumor going around were horse riders wearing all black roaming the Elemental Countries, looking for something, or possibly someone on the orders of their Master in Whirlpool. No one knew what they were looking for, but they went as far as being within a stone's throw away from Iwa to look, and caused rumors to spread that Iwa was now in league with them. Something Iwa denied, but it didn't stop the rumors, as they kept on spreading, and spreading until everyone in the Elemental Countries knew that there was a new mysterious force at work coming from Whirlpool.
All in all, it was making a lot of people, including the Fire Daimyo very nervous, and the man had ordered the Hokage to get to the bottom of it. Tsunade herself had then ordered Jiraiya to send some spies to Whirlpool, but no sooner had they left, it seemed the spies were instantly discovered, and their heads fell from the sky onto the village populous. The Councils had called for a recon force to be assembled to head for Whirlpool to find out, who was in charge of this power, and neutralize him or her before they became a threat to Konoha. Tsunade couldn't order it however, as the evidence of past history showed that spies were brutally killed before losing their heads soon after leaving the Leaf to head to Whirlpool, and knew that it would be the same for any recon team sent there too.
Another thing that bother Tsunade was Jiraiya's spy network regarding the Akatsuki was that this new player from Whirlpool now had their attention for the loss of two members of the organization were said to be unable to die. According to Jiraiya's own spy within the Akatsuki, Hidan the Jashin zealot from Yugakure, and his partner the undead Kakuzu from Takigakure were the two members of the organization to perish.
Not an easy thing to do with both suppose to be immortal for different reasons.
"Any luck in finding Naruto?" said Tsunade knowing that was one of the side missions she gave Jiraiya now sitting in the chair opposite of her in the office of the Hokage.
"No. The brats been off the radar for four years now and unlikely to return anytime soon. How he's avoided us this long I will never understand. The kid shouldn't even be able to do anything since being in Konoha should have stunted his growth," said Jiraiya seeing Tsunade nod her head, but they both knew that something was off about the blonde, and they couldn't help shake the feeling that Naruto may have held back his true strength.
Though how he obtained that was a mystery to them since the Sandaime had assured the two that their Godson was being thwarted in his attempts to be a strong Shinobi like they wanted and had no reason to believe their former sensei would lie. Then again, maybe the Sandaime did lie, but it wasn't possible due to the old man being stuck here behind this desk doing paperwork most of the time, and had no real way to help their Godson. The man's very own secretary, who hated Naruto with a passion, and had been inherited to Tsunade had told her the Sandaime was always in on time to do the vast amount of legal paperwork meant to drown him for days at a time with no possible means to get out of it.
'So why do I feel like were missing something?' thought Jiraiya, as he saw Tsunade was thinking the same thing, and it was eating at her too.
"Find him Jiraiya. Something in my gut tells me he's behind this Jiraiya. Someone like Naruto doesn't vanish for this long and not come back without learning a few tricks," said Tsunade, as she saw Jiraiya nod, and get his spy network on it.
"The Hyuuga Elders and Hiashi are getting nervous. They wanted to perform the sealing on Hinata soon and send her to the Fire Country Capital to her new husband by the end of the Month. Now they are getting nervous in wanting to go through with it since there is no guarantee for her safety," said Jiraiya, as he had been asked to help with the modified Cage Bird Seal, and make sure the girl's future husband could use it.
"I'll contact the girl's future husband to see if he can arrange protective transport detail with a few of our Shinobi to put everyone at ease," said Tsunade, as she knew the girl's love for Naruto, and knew this marriage was going to destroy the Hyuuga girl inside.
Not that Tsunade cared. She was denied being with her love so why should Hinata get any special treatment? Maybe she was being bitter, but the fact Hinata chose to give her heart to Naruto didn't sit well with her, and decided to crush any hope of them being together by allowing this arranged marriage to happen.
"Have you noticed the girl's mood changing? She's been noticeably happier recently. Like she's been seeing someone in secret," said Jiraiya seeing Tsunade's eyes hardening.
"I'll have some ANBU follow her and have Kurenai keep an eye on the situation," said Tsunade, as she would make sure Hinata was not seeing Naruto, and if she was?
Then Tsunade would have to deal with this in her own way.
(Whirlpool-2 Weeks Later)
"It's finally time," said Naruto knowing he couldn't wait anymore in waiting to rescue Hinata and summoned all his Nazgul to him along with his current group of Generals.
"You summoned us Master?" said the Witch King, as he watched Naruto gazing into the Palantir, and seeing the carriage departing from the Fire Country Capital towards the Leaf to get their early to take Hinata after the sealing was done.
"I have an important mission for you. One of the most important mission you will ever have in serving me my Nazgul. Get on your fell beasts, fly to Konoha, and rescue my mate from the cruel life that is awaiting her should we do nothing. Go and hurry!" said Naruto seeing the Nazgul nod and head to their fell beasts.
"What do you need us for?" said Yugito, as she along with Roshi, and Han both from Iwa were beside her watching Naruto looking at the now beautiful Hyuuga through the orb.
"To give you a heads up that the armies will be moving out soon. We have one more to recruit to our ranks before we can. Until then, be ready to move out, and keep your wits about you," said Naruto seeing the three nod knowing of the one he was speaking of right now.
"She's not easy to find. Much like her village," said Roshi seeing Naruto nod having heard the rumors about Taki.
"True, but my Nazgul responsible for killing Kakuzu was able to learn of the village's location after extracting the information from the Missing before he died, and made sure he understood what it meant to fight an agent of a demon," said Naruto, as he felt the Ring of Power pulsing again, and fueling his rage over how things turned out for this world.
"In an unrelated matter, the Wave Daimyo is willing to do trade with you, but we made sure the terms didn't specify weapons, and anything people could use against us," said Han having gone to see the man himself and work out the negotiations at Naruto's request in order for him to see not all humans were hateful of what he was.
He was right.
"After all this time they have not forgotten me. I assume that you saw the bridge and they gave it my name? I brought hope to their section of the world and do you know how the Leaf repays them for not changing the name of it? They tax Wave and are allowed to due to the contract setup between both countries. Its sickening to my eyes when I see such an abuse of power and over the name of a bridge that Konoha wanted renamed after Uchiha Sasuke after his death at the Valley of the End," said Naruto, as he moved the Palantir's focus to the two graves belonging to Zabuza, and Haku seeing both graves had not been disturbed.
"I heard the Uchiha turned traitor and planned to join Orochimaru. The Leaf says Uchiha Sasuke planned to fight the Sannin in his weakened state to avenge the Sandaime," said Roshi having heard these reports from Iwa before he and Han left.
"Iwa's reports on the matter are the accurate ones. Who do you think killed the Uchiha in the first place?" said Naruto letting out a chuckle seeing the group look at him in surprise.
"So the bounty on you is legitimate. They have you labeled a traitor for killing the Uchiha and possibly siding with Orochimaru during the invasion of the Leaf," said Han seeing the former mercenary laugh like it was some kind of joke.
"I haven't laughed like that years! I was the most loyal Shinobi the Leaf had. I put up with their crap for years without even thinking of betrayal. When I learned the truth about my life, I trained myself to be strong enough to put down people like the Uchiha, and anyone else like him for good. In truth, it was the Leaf village as a whole, who betrayed me, and my entire family on both sides. They have much to answer for," said Naruto in deadly voice at the end.
"All the villages that wronged our brothers and sisters do," said Han feeling rage at his own village swell within his body and Roshi was the same way.
"The only one that doesn't have to is Suna. They've repented for that and Gaara is now their Kazekage. They are to be spared," said Naruto seeing the trio nod.
"What about Kumo? Killer Bee is the Raikage's younger brother," said Yugito seeing Naruto manipulate the Palantir to focus on Kumo and Killer Bee training his team.
"Was he abused?" said Naruto calmly though there was a hint of rage behind it.
"A few assassination attempts. A few beatings, but those were on the orders of the previous Raikage, and A made sure his brother wasn't treated harshly," said Yugito seeing Naruto contemplate that decision.
"No harm will come to Kumo, but I won't have you return either, and give them any kind of information about Whirlpool that could bring about my destruction," said Naruto knowing that when you pledge your loyalty to him there was no breaking that allegiance.
"I understand my Lord," said Yugito, as she knew her place was serve Naruto loyally, and take what secrets she knew to her grave.
"My Lord, Captain Raze has just sent me a message from his ship that they have docked at a discreet location, and the Ents have disembarked to head for Konoha to take up a key position there on your orders," said an Orc handing the message to Naruto to read and the Namikaze smiled knowing the Ents would be one of his aces in the hole when the time came to use.
"Excellent. Send a messenger bird to Captain Raze to return for now. I'll need his ship to come back for further use," said Naruto seeing the Orc bow and leave to do just that.
"Can the Ents really get that deep into the Leaf without anyone noticing?" said Han, as he knew many had tried in the past, and only Orochimaru had succeeded the best in regards to such a plan with the help of Suna during the Chuunin Exams.
"Where they are heading, they'll blend right in, and by the time people realize they aren't simples trees...it will be too late," said Naruto knowing where to have the Ents position themselves for the time to strike at the Leaf.
"But is the army ready?" said Roshi, as he knew better then to question Naruto, but he didn't like leaving his new home undefended, and vulnerable to outside forces.
"They will be Roshi so don't worry. There will be plenty of my forces left here to defend Whirlpool should the need arise. The trick will be getting such a large force to Konoha in a short time and make sure there is a large enough clearing for them while making sure no one escapes for all four corners of the Leaf," said Naruto knowing his timing would have to be perfect for this to work.
"What of your spies within the Leaf? Can they be trusted?" said Yugito, as she had a large part to play in this war against the Leaf, hence why she was coming along, and putting her part of the plan in motion.
"I don't doubt them. When my Elf approached them in secret and told them who was running things in Whirlpool they instantly asked to join me. When questioned by my Elf on why he should tell me of their offer, they said the village had become weak, filled with arrogance, and went against everything it once stood for ages ago. They know the workings of the Leaf almost as well as I do and while their rank doesn't give them access to key places I'd like...they can cause the necessary distraction to do it in other ways," said Naruto, as he saw the Nibi vessel nod in understanding, and saw the Palantir shift to Konoha where the Nazgul were now mere moments from flying over.
"Time to see what the Leaf will do and how they will react to the Hyuuga Heiress being taken from them?" said Roshi walking closer to the orb along with the other two.
"It should be quite...amusing!" said Naruto grinning feral like, as the three watched the dram unfold before them, and what would be considered the start of the beginning of the end!
(Konoha-At the Moment)
Hinata didn't need her Byakugan to know she was currently being watched by ANBU on the rooftops above, as she walked through the Leaf doing things she always did, and be with people she liked. Or at least pretended to like since the people she was with only pretended to like Naruto, but in the end did nothing to defend him, and rather celebrated his departure. She was one of a possible small number of people in the Leaf, who had actually mourned Naruto's departure four years ago in secret, and wished things had not gone so badly like they did now.
'No doubt making sure I don't runaway from the life that will await me if Naruto-kun doesn't find a means to get me out of here,' thought Hinata, as she had spoken to the Hokage about this, and didn't want to be with a man currently aged to the point of being Tsunade's Father.
And for what? Political power and influence upon siring a child that will become like the man she would be forced to sleep with after having the seal place on her forehead. She would rather die! Something Hinata told Tsunade, but the woman simply told her to get over Naruto, he was a monster, and traitor to the Leaf. Hinata had countered saying the Leaf betrayed him, sighting times of his abuse, and wondered why Naruto hadn't left sooner because of it.
It was right there, Hinata in the Hokage's office, Tsunade had given the Hyuuga girl a look of bitterness, and now understood just how deep it went within the woman. Tsunade had lost almost everything when younger, from lover to little brother, and then Kushina being the last nail on the coffin of tolerance. Even if Naruto was Kushina's son, Tsunade didn't care, as she had no kind of bond with the boy, and therefore had left to let all the bitterness swell while ignoring the responsibilities of being a Godparent that ironically Kushina had charged the Slug Princess in the event of death. Tsunade had ignored the responsibility of raising Naruto, believing it was for the best in getting revenge against the cosmic forces, and Kyuubi conspiring to take away all her happiness. If Tsunade couldn't have a life filled with joy, then why should Naruto's be any different, and have what she couldn't in the Leaf?
It had shocked Hinata deeply that Tsunade would let her own bitter heart destroy what could have been a loving family like relationship with Naruto and all for bitter pointless revenge against something she couldn't see. What's more, the woman was willing to make any relationship Naruto may have had, and try to destroy it if within her power to do so.
A loud soul piercing shriek suddenly filled the air all over Konoha, as nine black robed figures on strange winged beasts flew down around Hinata, scaring people into hiding, and even Shinobi took cover in case they were caught in the claws of the creatures. All around her, the Nazgul flew around buildings while destroying large portions of roofs, grabbing Shinobi, and then dropping them high from lethal heights if not throwing a group through buildings. The only one not afraid was Hinata, as she had been expecting them for awhile now from her last talk with Naruto in the dream world, and leaped up to a nearby roof where the Witch King of Angmar was holding just for her.
"My Lord has sent me to take you to him," said the Witch King of Angmar holding out his armored hand and Hinata took it without question.
"Then I will not keep him waiting any longer," said Hinata, as she got on the fell beast, and just as ANBU appeared on the rooftops around them.
"Stop where you are!" said the ANBU Captain while the squad around him brought out their weapons.
"Don't get between a Nazgul and his objective!" said the Witch King, as his fell beast soon struck without warning, biting a chunk of the ANBU Captain's side off, and then took to the air while the former King of Men in the realm of Middle Earth let out another shriek of terror for all to hear.
"After him! Don't let him take the Hyuuga!" said another ANBU, as they pursued the nine Ring Wraiths, and stopped when they had flown high into the clouds for them to follow.
(Hokage's Office-Moments Later)
"What do you mean they took her?" said Tsunade now entirely outraged at how things went down with these winged creatures and their riders making fools out of her village.
"Its just how we said it happened Hokage-sama. We were watching Hyuuga Hinata per your orders when they came from above on their winged beasts. They picked up Shinobi and civilians before dropping them from high above or threw them into buildings they weren't already damaging. Our ANBU Commander has a large portion of his side now missing due to the winged beast biting it off and the black rider said 'don't get between a Nazgul and his objective' before taking Hyuuga Hinata away," said the ANBU Lieutenant seeing the Hokage's eyes narrow at his words.
"Get Jiraiya in here. Now!" said Tsunade, as she saw the group leave, and was instantly fuming inside before Jiraiya came in via the window.
"This is about Hyuuga Hinata being taken, isn't it?" said Jiraiya seeing the angry look on the woman's face and had concluded what he did.
"Its Naruto. He's back Jiraiya. I'm sure of it! There is only one person Hinata would even think of betraying the Leaf for and he's made contact with her through those...those dark things!" said Tsunade slamming her fist on the desk.
"What do you want to do? Spies won't get us into Whirlpool and we don't even know just how strong the defenses are even if we send an assassination team," said Jiraiya seeing the woman ready to hurt something.
Or someone.
"That's why were going to send a well trained recon team to see what the Hell is going on in Whirlpool. Send Neji with Kurenai, Kiba, Shino, and Lee just in case we need assault experience with Shikamaru to help him plan a proper strategy to oppose Naruto after seeing what he's doing there," said Tsunade seeing Jiraiya nod and go get the group.
Naruto had made the first move now...it was her turn!
(Whirlpool-Isengard)
"Naruto-kun!" said Hinata, as she rushed to embrace him, and the two hugged before kissing the other passionately.
"Hinata-chan! I've missed you so damn much," said Naruto before kissing her more with the others watching this moment closely seeing two lovers finally together after being years apart.
"Me too. Dreams pale compared to this moment," said Hinata, as she kissed him more, and more without hesitation.
"Shall we go somewhere more private?" said Naruto seeing the girl blushing now over the fact there were people watching them and what he was implying.
"Yes. Let's go. I've waited too long for this moment my love," said Hinata, as she let out an "eep!" when he picked her up bridal style, and headed for the Master Bedroom.
"Same here. Don't disturb us...or else!" said Naruto giving the trio of demon vessels a look that told them Hell would be unleashed if anyone interrupted the two.
When the two lovers entered the room, Naruto put Hinata on the large bed, and was soon pulled down onto it by the girl below him. The two began kissing, roaming their hands over the other, feeling, touching, groping, and probing the other to know where to look in giving pleasure to their other half. Their clothes were soon thrown on the floor all around them, as they were left in just their undergarments with Naruto's hands now playing with Hinata's breasts after removing her bra, and one of the Hyuuga girl's hands went to the young man's boxers to feel the hard appendage down there swelling with male pride.
"Make love to me. Please!" said Hinata, as she could take it anymore, and could tell neither could he from his actions.
"Gladly," said Naruto, as he kissed her breasts, teased the nipples, and loving the howls of pleasure Hinata was giving.
Moving down further south, Naruto removed the soaked panties the girl was wearing, and began licking that area like there was no tomorrow. Hinata's body spasm in pleasure, as she called out Naruto's name, and gripped his head with her hands while forcing his face deeper between her thighs.
"NARUTO-KUN!" yelled Hinata, as she reached orgasmic bliss that made all her private fantasies seem tame by comparison.
"Yummy!" said Naruto before licking her cum off his face and the rest leaking out of her pussy with Hinata looking up at him with lust in those lavender eyes.
"Boxers off. Now!" said Hinata, as she tackled him so Naruto was on his back this time, and practically ripped them off to look at the hard cock saying her body was number one.
"Eager are we?" said Naruto before moaning, as Hinata put her mouth on his large cock, and sucking it for the cum she knew was locked away just begging to be freed.
"Shut up and enjoy," said Hinata, as she let her hands run over the parts of the shaft the mouth couldn't take, and caressed his big demonic balls delicately.
"Damn Hinata-chan your doing a number on me," said Naruto, as he felt the woman was going into an absolute sexual frenzy just from this, and would only become greater with each passing moment.
"We're just getting started Naruto-kun," said Hinata, as she began bobbing her head on his cock, and bringing her lover to the brink of orgasmic pleasure.
"Oh shit! I'm going to cum Hinata-chan!" said Naruto, as he let out a mighty roar that seemed to shake the entire tower, and came into the girl's mouth to which she swallowed to the best of her ability.
"I take it you approved?" said Hinata in a mischievous tone with a look to match while she licked up the cum on her face that made Naruto rock hard once more at the sight of it.
"Hell yes! Now onto the main event," said Naruto with the lust in his eyes returning now with a vengeance tackled Hinata this time with the girl laughing before she felt the tip of his cock pressing against her pussy.
In that moment, joking stopped, and seriousness of the situation showed itself with the two lovers looking into the other's eyes knowing what was about to happen.
"Do it Naruto-kun. Make me yours. Don't worry about the hymen. I got rid of it myself after they told me what was to become of my life with that old man they wanted to marry me off. Just be gentle at first so I can get adjusted to your impressive size," said Hinata, as she suspected it was enhanced quite a bit because of Naruto's demonic status, and any woman would kill for their lover to have something like that every night.
"As you wish my mate. When I claim you as mine, I will use my power to turn you into a demonic female fox so we may be together always, and rule over the lands with our own future children," said Naruto seeing tears begin to form under the Hyuuga girl's eyes.
"Then do it now Naruto-kun. I don't want to wait another second of being yours," said Hinata, as she kissed him passionately, and felt him slowly guide his cock into her like she wanted with the tightness being evident at the resistance he was getting despite the woman being wet down there.
Hinata felt her eyes roll in the back of her head, as she felt him fill to the brink, and feeling both of them adjusting to it. The tightness of her pussy was pressing against his cock and Naruto was trying not to let it over stimulate him to the point of his releasing happening before her own. Hinata held onto him tightly, whispering sweet words into his ears, as she tried to make her pussy adjust faster to his size, and despite the intensity of it all felt the pleasure within her body skyrocket. Every nerve down their within the Hyuuga girl had been stimulated, as she felt her pussy finally adapt to the intrusion down there, and whispered for Naruto to continue.
Trying to pull back in order to thrust forward, Naruto found Hinata's pussy to be like a vice, as it wouldn't let him take much when pulling away, and had to thrust back almost immediately. Though the results behind it were instant for Hinata, as she gasped at the intense shock of pleasure, and it happening repeatedly with each new thrust into her body. The Hyuuga girl cried out with sharp gasps of pleasure, as her lover continued to thrust while on top, and stimulating Hinata's body by playing with another attack on her breasts only it was with his mouth this time.
Hinata held onto him, her nails digging into his back, and shoulders while she called out his name in pleasure to urge Naruto further on to which he did with gusto. The haze of it all made Hinata lose all sense of time, as she saw stars, wave after wave of bright stars, and white light that seemed to be part of the heavens. Her orgasmic bliss drowned out Hinata hearing Naruto calling out his lover's name before biting down on her shoulder and beginning the internal procedure now transpiring with the Hyuuga's body along with the male cum he shot inside of it.
When she came to, Hinata found herself on top of Naruto, still connected at the hip, but felt her body was stronger now, lean with muscle yet with all the flexibility she had when human, and more after the transformation. Her memories of what transpired Naruto marking her hit like a tidal wave, as she apparently went into a mating frenzy soon after the first orgasm he gave her, and continued well into the night. Letting out a sigh at the memories, Hinata gently put her head down on Naruto's muscled chest, and began to admire her new form.
Hinata felt her natural eye sight had enhanced itself greatly, as it was dark in the room, but the new line of sight allowed the Hyuuga girl to see things like it was bright outside. Her new fox ears twitched at hearing things outside of the room, Hinata began to focus on where to aim it, and soon drowned out all noise that didn't involve Naruto's heart beating in his chest. She looked at her hands, seeing sharp claws now were apart of the smoothing slender fingers, and Hinata soon felt the fanged canine teeth in her mouth that mentally told the woman this was going to take some getting use to. Looking at Naruto, she saw him fast asleep, having on his hands on her back, and looking like all was right the world despite reality of it not. Snuggling a little closer to him, the Hyuuga let out a small moan of pleasure at feeling him still inside of her, and went to join him dream land.
(Hokage's Office)
"Are you sure about this Hokage-sama? Naruto? The dead last? I mean...it sounds so far fetched!" said Kiba not believing Naruto had been behind this even after his mysterious disappearance for the last four years after killing the Uchiha.
"Yes I'm sure you baka! What's more, is Hyuuga Hinata went with the shadowy rider of that creature to take him to Whirlpool, and is no doubt doing horrible things to her. I want you to find out what things are like in Whirlpool, where Hyuuga Hinata is, and rescue her should the opportunity be open to you," said Tsunade seeing the group scowl and could feel the anger they now had for Naruto.
"When do you want us to leave?" said Kurenai, as she wanted her student back, and was planning to make Naruto pay for his actions.
"Immediately! Be careful. All of you. There is no telling what Naruto will do to you if caught," said Tsunade, as she saw them nod, and then leave right away to prepare.
"Are you sure you don't want me to go with them?" said Jiraiya seeing Tsunade shake her head no.
"I need you here. I won't send my best Shinobi in our ranks to Whirlpool without a proper recon of the area. I know you've been there before Jiraiya, but Naruto could easily change things while there with whatever it is he's unleashed upon the world, and sending you in with knowledge of terrain over two decades old is not smart," said Tsunade seeing the Sannin agree to that statement.
"I just hope they make it back alive. None of my spies could get in and they were some of my best," said Jiraiya knowing how his spies for his network wouldn't take any jobs now relating to Whirlpool after losing quite a few of them.
"Me too. When Hinata is brought back. Make sure the seal works and make sure it makes her suffer extra for this betrayal," said Tsunade seeing the Sannin nod.
(Whirlpool-4 Days Later)
"Remember, we need to be quiet as possible, and not make a sound," said Kurenai, as she used a Genjutsu to get through the massive fleet of ships to land on one of the beaches of Whirlpool several miles from the nearest port.
"Where do we look first?" said Kiba, as the group made their way to the trees to hide in the shadows, and saw different creatures walking around that had never been seen before.
"That tower," said Shino, as he pointed to the tall tower that hummed with power, and frightened his bugs immensely.
"Troublesome. No doubt he's keeping Hinata there," said Shikamaru seeing the Hyuuga girl's sensei become visibly angry.
"If he's defiled her in anyway, I'll kill him myself, and do it in such a way he'll beg for Hell before I'm done!" said Kurenai, as her hands became fists, and itching to face Naruto now.
Any other choice words from the group leader was silence when an Orc on a Warg came out of the shadows underneath the tree the Leaf Shinobi were on with the Warg sniffing around before growling. Soon more Orcs on Wargs came out of the shadows seeing the Orc talk to its pet with the gift being granted to them by their Master.
"We have intruders. My pet smells them. They are near," said the Orc to the others.
"We should report this to Lord Naruto. He hates uninvited guests Monad," said another Orc with piercing over his eyes, down his left cheek, and had jagged edged teeth.
"We can't Notec. Not yet. Lord Naruto and his new mate do not want to be disturbed," said Monad, as his back was to the Leaf Shinobi in the trees, and sensed the killer intent from the tree behind him for a second before it vanished.
"They are behind Monad in the trees. We must go now before they suspect we know what is going on. Let them come in close, then block their retreat, and capture them for Lord Naruto to decide their futures," said another Orc in their native tongue, which all Orcs knew, as did the Elves with their language, and their skills being genetic memory.
"Come on. Quit your yapping. We'll speak to the Four Generals of Whirlpool for now about this matter," said another Orc to make it seem like the trio were arguing and convince them to speak to the higher ups before the Warg Riders left for Isengard.
"Damn! Those dog like creatures picked up our scent," said Kiba, as he wished Akamaru was with him, but decided against it since the dog was no longer puppy size, and could not join them since the white dog was too big to hide.
"We have to continue with the mission no matter what. We need to gather information about Naruto's operations and what he has planned for the Elemental Countries," said Kurenai seeing the group nod in agreement.
"We'll move to the left of the tower, my bugs have told me of a lookout area on top of a hill where we can look at a large portion of Whirlpool, and is not occupied just yet," said Shino seeing the group nod and head there.
"What were those creatures on those strange dog like creatures? I've never seen anything like them before," said Lee finally, as he was asking what everyone was thinking, and wanted answers to so many questions popping into their heads.
"Something Naruto created maybe. Some kind of experimentation like Orochimaru using his demonic chakra to twist humans to being what they are now," said Kurenai with clear disgust in her voice for the boy Hinata had so foolishly given her heart to despite what everyone done in warning the girl of his demonic connections to the Kyuubi.
"That would explain those dog like creatures. They seemed...unnatural in a way," said Kiba, as he got a bad vibe from the group, and feared what would happen if they were allowed to breed outside of Whirlpool.
"There is something about this place that feels unnatural. Like its almost alive, yet its not, and I keep getting the feeling were being watched," said Shikamaru, as he kept feeling that there were eyes all around him, and it was unnerving to have such a sensation of absolute nervousness running through his entire body.
"I know what you mean Shikamaru. My eyes show me lots of movement all around Whirlpool, with creatures like we saw earlier making weapons, and others that look human yet have distinct features that show they aren't. Then there are strange creatures I'm seeing that are moving heavy things and can really throw their weight around like an Akimichi could in a fight based on muscle power," said Neji using the power of his Byakugan and seeing an incredible amount of demonic energy coming from the tower.
The group ventured the hill massive hilltop where the rebuilt fortress of Weathertop now stood, as troops were soon to fill it after the construction of the armory attachment, and underground supply depot put in place. They quickly climbed up the hill while staying hidden from the occasional Orc or Elf in the area though it seemed to be too easy for them to make it this far.
These creatures that served Naruto knew that there were intruders here in Whirlpool and yet...there was no rushing of activity to find them. No large force seeking them out, no scouts, no to just about everything in terms of finding them.
"Something is wrong. Something is very very wrong," said Kiba from his position on the hill, as he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, and instincts that screamed out for them to get the Hell out of Whirlpool.
"No shit Sherlock," said Yugito walking out of Weathertop while Han, Roshi, and Fu did the same seeing the group of Leaf Shinobi.
"You? Your Nii Yugito from Kumo. Its been said you hold the Nibi," said Kurenai, as she feared Naruto would look for allies, but never expected him to go to Kumo, or Iwa if the two males to Yugito's right were any indication.
Why was a Shinobi from Taki here? Weren't they allies of Konoha? Did Naruto promise them something in exchange for their cooperation?
"Got in one. Next to me is Roshi, next to him is Han, and then there is Fu. In case you haven't been keeping up on current events, Roshi, and Han are both from Iwa. They left to seek life away from the arrogance of the human race and their negativity while they learned to master the demons inside of their bodies. Fu here was hated by the people of Taki, used like a watchdog outside her village, and was given scrapes to feed off of before Naruto sent one of his Nazgul to off her a place here in Whirlpool. He did the same for me after I was pursued by those two undead weirdoes wearing those red cloud covered cloaks and straw hats," said Yugito seeing the Jounin scowling at the four of them while the rest of the Leaf team stayed on guard.
'Not good. Four demon vessels with the weakest one easily capable of killing us and the others are of unknown strength too. Each put together in a certain way equals that of the nine tails. Definitely not good,' thought Shikamaru, as these four could possibly rival Naruto, but they owed him too much to go against the Namikaze, and his hospitality.
"As for your group however, Naruto-sama has a policy regarding uninvited guests, and I'm pretty sure the Leaf knows all about that along with the rest of the Shinobi villages trying to spy on Whirlpool," said Han seeing the Leaf Shinobi around them were now tense.
"So you're going to kill us and then send back our heads?" said Neji, as he wasn't going to go down without a fight, and cause some injury to them.
"No. I'm not," said Naruto making an appearance now with Hinata by his side wearing a royal kimono that had survived Whirlpool's original demise and was able to fix it for her to wear.
"Monster!" said Kurenai, as she went quickly through hand signs, and activate her Genjutsu to trap Naruto in an illusion of him being bound to a tree the Leaf Jounin having a kunai in hand to slice his throat open.
"Don't be so over dramatic," said Naruto flaring his chakra and sent the woman flying off his back like she was nothing.
Kurenai got off the ground, but was soon struck by Hinata with a disabling Gentle Fist attack temporarily paralyzed the woman, and the Leaf Shinobi could only watch with surprised horror at seeing her former student walk over to Naruto before kissing him on the lips. It was blasphemous! It was then, Kurenai realized Hinata's appearance was different then before, as she looked lean with muscle, and saw fox ears on the girl's head that made the woman realize what had happened since the Hyuuga girl had been here in Whirlpool.
"Hinata!" said Neji, as he couldn't believe his eyes at the sight of his cousin siding with Naruto, and yet here she was doing just that.
"Why are you so surprised? I love Naruto. He is my other half. I refuse to be put in an arranged marriage with a man old enough to be my Grandfather just for my clan to one day receive political favors! You know what I'm talking about Neji. What our clan was planning to do to me just to appease that pig they wanted to be my so called husband! They even had Jiraiya make an alternate version of the Cage Bird Seal just so that old bastard could use it so I don't refuse him when its time to help make a baby. I would have thought you of all people Kurenai-sensei would despise such an act, but if it means I'm not with Naruto, then all thoughts of disgust on the subject don't matter, and to Hell with what the woman herself wants," said Hinata looking back at Kurenai on the seeing the seething woman trying to fight the paralysis her body was in.
"He's a monster Hinata. He's a demon!" said Kurenai trying to reach Hinata through her words.
"Of course I am. Now anyway. After I killed the Uchiha, the energy we put out sent me to a realm, and upon entering had turned me into the new Kyuubi," said Naruto seeing the Leaf Shinobi look at him with surprise.
"So you've been transformed into Kyuubi after what happened?" said Lee not believing his own ears at what Naruto was saying.
"Yep. And now I'm not the only one, as Hinata has become my mate, and turned into my sexy vixen to rule by my side," said Naruto seeing his mate blush at his words.
"Defiler! I'll castrate you for tainting my students mind and body," said Kurenai, as she was soon kicked in the face by Yugito, who then put a heavy foot on Kurenai's stomach, and pressed hard until the Jounin cried out in pain.
"Shut your mouth! People like you sicken me to no end. Hating us because we're different regardless of the fact the Shinobi villages made us in the first place. How can you hate your own creations? Your own weapons of war you forge just to use whenever the need arises before casting aside when its all over? If being human means being like you, then I'd rather become a demon just like the one inside of me, and not turn back for anything!" said Yugito before increasing the pressure and hearing Kurenai cry out once more in pain.
"As for the rest of you, it seems my message to the Shinobi villages wasn't clear enough when the sent spies onto my country, and spying on what is going on in my lands. So I think a more impacting statement is required to teach the Leaf a lesson and your going to help me do it," said Naruto walking towards the group of leaf Shinobi now preparing for a fight.
"We'd rather die!" said Lee not willing to betray Konoha.
"I was so hoping you'd say that," said Naruto before snapping his fingers and the illusion he put up faded behind him to reveal over a hundred Elves fully armored aiming arrows at them.
"Holy crap!" said Shikamaru turning around to see more Elves below the hill ready to fire should they try to jump.
"You have no chance of escape. The Elves have deadly accuracy when it comes to firing arrows without equal. A single Elf could fire arrows at all of you the instant the muscles in your bodies telling you to move twitched before they stopped that very same action from happening," said Naruto seeing Shikamaru was calculating everything in his head right now in terms of a strategy to get out of Whirlpool alive.
"So what your saying is, we're going to die here, and there is nothing we can do to stop it," said Shikamaru seeing Naruto nod with a smile on his face.
"You really didn't think I was going to let all of you out of here alive to tell everyone what is going on, did you?" said Naruto seeing Shikamaru shake his head no.
"Even if we could get away from you, your four Generals, this army of Elves behind us, and the one in front...there is still the matter of getting to our boat to row through the army of ships there not to mention those black riders on those winged beasts. You have us in checkmate," said Shikamaru seeing the Leaf team looking at him in surprise.
"Glad you see it that way Shikamaru," said Naruto smiling before giving the pointed signal for the Elves behind him to fire and they did with deadly precision in hitting the group from the Leaf with their arrows.
They were on the ground. Dead...save two.
Yuhi Kurenai and...Hyuuga Neji.
"Y-You...spared me? Why?" said Neji coughing up blood and looking at Naruto crimson eyed face glaring daggers at him with Hinata doing the same.
"Spared you? How insulting! I didn't spare your life Neji. I'm simply returning the same amount of compassion you gave Hinata at the Chuunin Exam Prelims. Or have you just forgotten about that? You planned on giving Hinata the dead blow for defying her so called 'Fate' in losing to you so its only fair I return that in my own way!" said Naruto before raising his steel toed boot and crushed Neji's skull hard against the ground.
"You bastard! His debt was paid after you beat him in the Chuunin Exam Finals!" said Kurenai before she was kicked in the ribs by Yugito hard enough to roll her closer to him.
"His debt to me? Fool! He owed his debt to Hinata! She's bent over backwards to make Neji's life happy at the expense of her own since they were little kids. Even after the mess between us was settled at the Chuunin Exam Finals, he still treated Hinata with contempt, and disgust like she was lucky to have someone fight on her behalf. When he heard what was going to happen with her being arranged to a marriage with that old pig, Neji did nothing offer condolences for such a life, and no doubt secretly loved the idea of his cousin suffering in a way to get back some form of 'clan honor' he lost when his dad died. Neji owed Hinata his life and he was long overdue in paying up what was owed!" said Naruto before his Warg Riders came on their beasts to report their findings.
"All of us have rechecked all of Whirlpool my Lord. No more intruders to be found," said Monad, as he saw Naruto nod in approval, and turned to see the bodies of the dead Leaf Nin.
Seeing this, Naruto turned to those bodies, and then looked at the Warg's looking a bit hungry for some fresh meat.
"Excellent! As for your Wargs, I bet their hungry after all this scouting, and deserve a good meal for their efforts. Dig in," said Naruto gesturing to the dead Leaf Nins after the Elves stripped the bodies of everything useful.
"Monster!" said Kurenai before her face kissed dirt with Hinata's foot making her.
"As if the Leaf's treatment of Naruto-kun was any better. How many Inuzuka dogs hunted Naruto down just for the fun of it in order to rip through his flesh? How many adults like you let his happen and laughed at his expense? Well who's laughing now? Its not so funny is it?" said Hinata before forcing Kurenai's head sideways and so she could see the Wargs feasting on the flesh of her comrades.
"The question now is...what to do with you?" said Naruto looking at Kurenai with eyes calculating the possibilities.
"I'm not afraid to die. Your time of judgment will come soon enough monster!" said Kurenai defiantly at Naruto and was rewarded for her words by being pressed further into the dirt by Hinata's foot.
"Die? Oh you miss understand Yuhi Kurenai. Were not going to kill you. At least, not yet anyway. I want you to bear witness to my grand scheme of things when I crush Konoha beneath my feet. I want you to see with your own two eyes just how far I will go to crush the Leaf for their betrayal of my family just like you did all those years ago when I was six. You remember that day don't you? You were a recently made Chuunin if I recalled that day correctly, who was assigned by the Sandaime to watch me in my apartment, and given a specific knock sequence to indicate it was you at door. Only when I opened the door to greet you that day, it wasn't your face I saw, but rather that of Sarutobi Asuma, and a mob of people ready to take chunk of flesh out of my ass. I barely got away after jumping through my own window and making it to the Sandaime's Office before Asuma got to me. Of course he nearly did, but I ducked at the last moment, and gave him a good mule kick to his nuts for trying to slice me in two," said Naruto seeing Kurenai's shocked face.
"That's why he called off our date. You ruined our relationship for a good Month!" said Kurenai angrily remembering how Asuma had asked her for a date in exchange for the knock sequence his Father gave to the at the time Chuunin so he along with the mob could kill Naruto.
Afterwards, she was getting ready for her date that night, but the woman found Asuma was in the hospital unable to go because of the low blow Naruto had hit him with, and was currently pissing blood. Kurenai had tried to get revenge on Naruto for that, but before she could find the brat, the Sandaime ordered her to his office, and demanded an explanation on how a mob knew the special knock sequence he gave her? When Kurenai couldn't give a proper answer, she knew her career was in jeopardy, and so was Asuma's for that matter. Her punishment had been countless degrading D-ranked missions, Asuma had been transferred out to be one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, and made sure the two were kept in check until such time the Hokage felt they were allowed to be remotely close to Naruto.
"You betrayed Naruto-kun for a measly date? You barely knew that cig smoking baka back then!" said Hinata, as she growled at her former sensei, and was tempted to crush the woman's skull like Naruto had done to Neji.
"He was a Sarutobi! The son of the Sandaime. Any woman turning him down for a date would have been crazy," said Kurenai, as she felt shallow back then, but it was what girls around that time did, and after Asuma left had felt no other man could be with her.
Hence the "Ice Queen" image she portrayed until Asuma came back and they decided to date in secret.
"Pathetic. Just like those fan girls the Uchiha had. Always fawning over him because he was the last Uchiha in the Leaf," said Naruto before summoning two Elves to his side with a motion of his hand.
"Your order my Lord," said the one of the Elves.
"Bind and throw this one into the dungeon. Assign someone to feed her, but make sure the hands stay bound, and feet immobile until we're ready to mobilize the army," said Naruto seeing the two Elves nod and quickly bound the woman before taking her away to the underground dungeon setup not far from Isengard.
"Sooner or later, the Hokage will know her team failed, and suspect the worst," said Han knowing the war with the Leaf was inevitable.
"I know the Hokage will. I know how she thinks. I know how the Leaf in general thinks better then they do themselves. Prepare the army. I want them to reach the beaches of Fire Country in three days and not a minute later," said Naruto, as he walked away with Hinata beside him, and she could see the anger burning within his eyes.
"Calm yourself my love. The element of surprise is in our favor. By the time the Hokage suspects the team she sent here has been caught and killed we'll be in position to lay siege to Konoha," said Naruto knowing the rage of their former home was eating him up inside and nothing short of burning it to the ground would ease his pain.
"I know my love. Just memories of the past catching up to me. I hate those memories," said Naruto leaning his head down to gently touch Hinata's own.
"I hate those memories too. I would rather make new ones with you in bed," said Hinata smiling at him and Naruto grinned devilishly at her.
"Really? I didn't think you were so anxious to get pregnant so soon my naughty little vixen," said Naruto, as they had been doing a lot mating the past couple of days, and it was only a matter of time before she was with child.
"Aside from that wonderful dream I've had for ages becoming true, I just want to enjoy every second I have with you, and soothe our aching hearts that have been apart for too long," said Hinata feeling Naruto's hand on her rear and giving a good groping that sent shivers up her spine.
"Then let's not delay such a thing any further. My Generals can handle the preparations with the army for now and I can always send a message to Gaara later before we head off to Fire Country," said Naruto, as he grinned at Hinata, and the Hyuuga woman grinned back.
(Konoha-Hokage's Office-5 Days Later)
"Kazekage-sama, I thank you for speaking with me after I got your message regarding information about Whirlpool, and what you've managed to learn about their plan to attack Konoha," said Tsunade seeing Sabaku no Gaara in his Kazekage robes sitting opposite of her with his neutral emotionless mask that made him completely unreadable just like he had been four years ago at the Chuunin Exams.
"Despite what has happened four years ago, we do have an alliance with each other, and it should be honored. It wasn't easy acquiring this information, as I lost quite a few of my spies, and Shinobi to acquire what I sent you," said Gaara making sure to make the salt on the wounds the two villages had between them sting.
Gaara may honor the alliance between the two Shinobi villages, but his real loyalty was to Naruto, and what the Namikaze did for him back then. It was through Naruto four years ago that Gaara had regained his humanity, his family, and the respect of his own village for not being a monster that would have come back to haunt them before their inevitable death. Not only that, but unknown to the rest of the Elemental Countries, Naruto had helped him with two Akatsuki members trying to hunt him down for his demon, and removed that threat from his life.
"I understand Kazekage-sama. I myself have lost Shinobi and spies at the hands of Whirlpool forces so I understand your pain," said Tsunade with a smile while Gaara just nodded and the Hokage wondered if the younger Kage in front of her knew Naruto was the leader in Whirlpool?
Should she even tell him? No. If she did, there was a chance the alliance between the two villages would end, and Suna would become the Leaf's enemy. Something she couldn't risk happening.
"From what I've learned, the leader of Whirlpool is preparing a large army to invade Fire Country, and attack Konoha soon. As such, I have placed my forces at key strategic areas around Konoha to further strengthen its defenses, and help defend your village from any kind of invasion," said Gaara seeing Tsunade was surprised by this, but then again didn't think the Kazekage would plan to betray her, and side with the enemy.
Even if the enemy was unknowingly Naruto.
At least Tsunade hoped Gaara didn't know it was Naruto.
"Thank you for your help Kazekage-sama. With your help, I know we can stop this plan by the leader of Whirlpool, and repel their invasion," said Tsunade shaking his hand and saw Gaara leave her office.
'I find such an outcome to be...unlikely!' thought Gaara, as he had to fight back the cruel smile that wanted to appear on his face, and inform his siblings of the matter.
While this happened, Tsunade summoned Jiraiya to her office, and the Toad Sage was thinking about this matter thoughtfully. Of course, when Tsunade suspected Naruto was the leader of Whirlpool, she had Jiraiya use his spy network to find out if the Kazekage had any contact with gaki, and the Toad Sannin found nothing of the sort going on. If there was any kind of communication going on between Naruto and Gaara it was most likely destroyed or there was no such communication at all.
"What has your spy network told you about the other Shinobi villages?" said Tsunade seeing Jiraiya sit down to think.
"Aside from the fact most of them are pissed off at the loss of their own demon vessels? Nothing really. Iwa lost their two after they went rogue, Kumo lost one while the Raikage is keeping the other under a close eye, and I just learned Taki's own has taken off," said Jiraiya seeing Tsunade's eyes were narrowing at this explanation.
"I want to this village mobilized and ready for to defend itself from enemy invaders. He's coming Jiraiya. Naruto's coming here with an army to crush us," said Tsunade, as she saw Jiraiya nod, and knew that he knew by this point their recon team had more then likely failed while no doubt paying with their very lives.
A dark chapter in the Leaf was about to be written with the blood of its people, ironically at the hands one of its own, who was seeking it to be the last chapter in Konoha's history, and slam the book shut upon its dramatic ending.
"Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama! There is a fire outside of the wall of the village. In fact, all the sides of the village where there is vegetation is burning a total of five hundred feet!" said a Chuunin coming into the room looking deathly afraid.
"What? Get Shinobi out there with the ability to use Water Jutsus to put them out," said Tsunade seeing the man had more to say.
"We are, but the fire is unnatural. It's a bluish black almost seems to be alive, as several Shinobi have been badly burned by it already for trying, and some have been killed by its consuming presence," said the Chuunin seeing Tsunade's eyes widen.
"It must be the Nibi vessel. That's the color of the demonic chakra she possesses," said Jiraiya seeing the Hokage nod in understanding before rushing out of her office to see just how bad it was outside.
When she went to the Hokage Monument to see her surroundings, the Slug Princess felt her very heart freeze fear at the sight of the flame, and what lay beyond it. Behind the walls of Konoha was a vast army of creatures, non of which were human, wearing heavy armor, holding swords, spears, shield, spiked metal clubs, and bows with arrows at the ready to fire. What brought more fear to Tsunade's heart was the fact the army wasn't just at one of the gates to enter Konoha, but in fact there was an army at all of them, and the more armored side of the army was already yelling for blood. Each side was commanded by a different General, each of which were demon vessels from a different villages, and were looking to dish out their own bit of payback against the Leaf.
And in command of them was Naruto with Hinata by his side.
"What do you think Hinata-chan? Should I give Tsunade a chance to surrender Konoha to me?" said Naruto seeing his mate looking at Konoha with her eyes.
"Might as well Naruto-kun. Though we both know she won't," said Hinata knowing full well Tsunade would never surrender Konoha to Naruto in any shape or form.
Nodding in agreement, but trying to be civil in some aspects, Naruto motioned for the Orc with the white flag to stand in the middle area that would be the neutral spot for their meeting. Word reached his Generals of the meeting between their Lord and the Hokage so no fighting was to commence unless otherwise ordered to. With the metal pole with the white flag now put that down in the ground, Elves came with a table, two chairs for each side should Tsunade bring someone with her, and a tent to keep both sides out of the sun. Soon enough Naruto saw Tsunade walking out with Jiraiya since Shizune had been ordered to take charge of the hospital.
"You came. I wasn't sure if you would. Though I'm glad you did," said Naruto seeing the cold look of fury on Tsunade's face.
"You have a lot of nerve doing this Naruto. After everything the Leaf has done for you, this is how you repay them, and me with this invasion!" said Tsunade, as she sat down with Jiraiya preferring to stand with his arms crossed with a scowl on his face aimed at Naruto.
"If by everything, you mean hating, abusing, and making my life miserable while you two went to have your own fun while ignoring your Godparent duties...then yes I am," said Naruto seeing the shocked look in their eyes.
"The Sandaime told you. Didn't he," said Jiraiya knowing only one man could have told Naruto and he was currently dead.
"When I was younger. I had just survived another day of my life I called Hell. I had put up with enough of the Leaf's crap and he knew it. So after I learned the truth, I made him train me in secret, and everyone assumed he was too buried chin deep in paperwork to even realize the Hokage doing it was really a Shadow Clone. Of course, I had my skills to prevent people from learning how strong I really was, and used seals on my body that I learned to make everyone think I was weak. I released those seals when fighting Sasuke, as he was going to Orochimaru no matter what I did, and killed him for actions," said Naruto seeing the two glaring daggers at him.
"He could have been saved you baka!" said Tsunade slamming her fist on the table and saw the Elves a good two hundred feet back ready arrows at them.
"Uchiha Sasuke was a traitor no matter how much ass kissing the Leaf did to make him think otherwise and I suggest you keep your temper in check old hag! My archers are the best at what they do and they can pick a fly off your graying hair while keeping it alive in order to make it suffer a slow death. Do not give them a reason to fire on you now," said Naruto seeing the woman eyeing the Elves carefully and then looked at Jiraiya knowing the man would shield Tsunade if necessary even if it meant making himself a target in the process.
"Why did you want to meet us here? For your own amusement? To gloat on how you've broken free of your leash?" said Jiraiya finally seeing Naruto smirking in amusement.
"I asked Tsunade to come here to surrender Konoha and all of its people...to me!" said Naruto seeing the woman glaring daggers at him with Jiraiya doing the same.
"Out of the question! I will never give Konoha to you. Whether you were a loyal Shinobi or its enemy the Leaf will never be yours. You can come at us with your army here, make demands, and threat all you want. But, I will tell you right now that no son, and daughter of the Leaf will ever submit to a foreign ruler! Especially a filthy demon like you!" said Tsunade hoping her words would anger Naruto, make him slip, and give an opening to smash his face clean off.
Instead, Naruto just grinned a feral grin, and his eyes glowed red with intense bloodlust.
"Then every son and daughter of the Leaf...shall die!" said Naruto smelling fear from Tsunade now and some from Jiraiya too though he did a better job in hiding it.
"You forget Naruto, I can summon the Toads, and Gamabunta can crush any army you throw at us," said Jiraiya, who saw Naruto grin before taking the necklace Tsunade gave him years ago around his neck off, and showed held it in his right hand.
"By all means summon him. I'll just tell the Toad Boss just who I am and what you did in terms of neglecting my Father's dying wish. Whose side do you think he will be on when that happens? Yours? Or will he most likely be on...mine!" said Naruto seeing Jiraiya curse that fact since Gamabunta had far more respect for Naruto and the Yondaime then the Sannin.
"I still have my Slugs too Naruto. They are loyal to me regardless of my neglect in my Godmother duties to you," said Tsunade hoping the Slug Queen would intimidate her foe into rethinking his invasion.
"Go ahead. Summon your Slugs to fight me in battle. I have a personal summons of my own outside of the Toads. Something that is so terrifying that even Orochimaru himself along with his snake summons would tremble in fear," said Naruto seeing the surprise in their eyes in knowing he had such a summons at his disposal.
"What kind of summons?" said Jiraiya with his own curiosity getting the better of him.
"One I acquired on my travels while in the realm known as Middle Earth. A creature of shadow...and flame!" said Naruto letting out a cruel chuckle that terrified the two before him.
"You still won't win. Not so long as the Will of Fire, which lives in all the people of the loyal people Konoha, and will fight you to the end," said Tsunade hearing Naruto chuckle again.
"You should be careful when it comes to the speaking about the Will of Fire like that you old hag. You may...just...get...burned!" said Naruto crushing the green jewel in his hands before releasing the dusty remains into the wind.
"I have heard enough! This meeting between us is over. I promise you the next time we meet we will be on the battlefield with your heart in my hands," said Tsunade, as she took Naruto's actions to be a personal insult to her family, and couldn't stand being near her Godson anymore.
"You should be mindful of your promises my Godmother and never make those you can't keep," said Naruto, as he continued to grin like there was no tomorrow, and knew for the Leaf there wasn't.
Scowling once more at Naruto, both Tsunade, and Jiraiya had left without another word to him before heading back to Konoha to tell everyone what was going to happen. With the tent taken down, the metal pole with the white flag of neutrality removed, and finally the chairs with table were taken away while Naruto walked back with Hinata.
"I told you she wouldn't agree Naruto-kun," said Hinata seeing Naruto nod.
"I know Hinata-chan. I just wanted to see her one more time in a civil manner before this happens. Is the special package ready to be delivered by catapult?" said Naruto seeing Hinata nod.
"Yes. Our four spies within Konoha have sent a message that all the civilians have been secured and Gaara is in position with his forces. When the signal is given, the Ents will strike from their position just outside the entrance of the Forest of Death, and strike from within when supporting Gaara's forces he brought with him from Suna," said Hinata, as she saw Naruto smiling at her, and kissed the woman's lips passionately.
"Time to for the beginning of the end to be set in motion," said Naruto, as an Elf came before him, and presented the black sheathed samurai sword that was to be the second most prized weapon the Namikaze had.
"Are you going to charge into battle without me?" said Hinata, as she didn't want to miss out on this, an he knew it too.
"If we charged in there first, the battle would end within the hour. What's the point of having an army if you don't use it? I'm going to let my forces have their fun fighting the Leaf. They deserve it after the long march here. For now, we'll sit back, and enjoy the show before getting involved," said Naruto before motioning for another Elf to come forward and present Hinata with a silver colored bo staff that looked like his golden one only with lavender runes with seals on them.
"For me?" said Hinata, as she looked at the weapon with awe, and after inspecting it gave her lover a passionate kiss with tongue.
"I take it you like your gift?" said Naruto before getting another kiss from Hinata with more tongue this time while grinding against him.
"Oh I approve all right. When this war with the Leaf is over, you're going to see, and feel just how much I like this gift," said Hinata sensually knowing it made Naruto's blood boil with lust.
"Damn. Maybe we should postpone the invasion just to get our lust out of our system. Shame Tsunade's not still here since we could tie her up and make her watch just to piss her off," said Naruto getting a gasp from Hinata and light smack in the shoulder for it.
"Pervert!" said Hinata, but let out an "eep!" next when Naruto grabbed her rear, and made her putty in his hands with the way he was moving his hand.
"Yeah, but I'm your pervert, and you love every act I do to your sexy body," said Naruto hearing Hinata moan at his magical touch before removing his hand.
"Damn you and your hands," said Hinata at last.
"Just showing you who is the Master of this game my dear," said Naruto before turning to the serious business now at hand motioned for his Orc commanding the catapult with the "special delivery" to send the "package" to the Leaf to let them know he meat business.
The Orc in question commanded the Mountain Troll to drop the axe on the rope tied to the catapult launching mechanism and sent the "package" flying right into Konoha. The "package" crashed onto the roof of a building, hit a telephone pole, and then the ground with Tsunade on the scene to see what it was Naruto's forces had launched at Konoha.
Only to see the object wasn't a what, but rather a whom, and the whom in question made Tsunade's heart freeze once more since she knew who it was.
It was Yuhi Kurenai.
A nearly dead Yuhi Kurenai, who looked almost unrecognizable, as the Jounin had been beaten pretty badly, and from the looks of the injuries prior to being catapulted into the Leaf...it was done by someone using the Gentle Fist Taijutsu. Her head didn't have the ever luscious hair that helped make the woman a stunning beauty, as it had been shaved off, the Leaf symbol carved into her head, and the word "hypocritical slut!" being written just above her breasts that was cauterized so it wouldn't be removed. On the barely alive, barely breathing woman's body was a single note, and was slowly being stained in her blood before Tsunade took it off before reading it.
Traitors get what they deserve. Your death along with the Leaf's own is next!
A loud inhuman roar from beyond the gate and Tsunade knew Yuhi Kurenai was going to be the first casualty in the second invasion of Konoha.
(YAY! Hope you enjoyed this SUPER long chapter I wrote just for you guys. That was so tiring. Until next time...PEACE!)
