From third rate magus to genius shinobi
Chapter three: Surrounded but not overwhelmed
Deciding to take her time (and give herself a day or two to properly sober) Tsunade walk alongside a caravan of merchants going to river country; the scenery was good and the company quiet (just the way she like it), in a pair of days they will reach a little settlement of farmers an she will abandon the merchants to go south to the coast were the port village and the clinic hiding ANBU facilityes; were genin and chunin specializing in Iryojutsu and other skills congregate to do so in relative peace, at only 10 km from the frontier with river country (a neutral in this war than double as a meting point from Konoha and Suna Intel exchange) whit two countries of distance from Kirigakure (Tea and Nodle) and the Hangury gulf and a part of Kanashii ocean in between, the location was supposed to be ideal.
Apparently not even countries and oceans of distance are enough to dissuade lady luck from smiting the female sannin in fury, prove enough the war eagle in the colors used by the Kazekage elite guard to send the urgent meeting signal; so discarding her good humor the medic took to follow the kami dammed bird to an old farm southwest of Tanzaku Gai.
In his past life Kinshiro has awaken to very estrange, uncomfortable, and/or terrifying situations ; hell this is not even the first time an humongous being carry his unconscious body to an old mansion in a forest. But he has to give credit to the red head teenager controlling the 650 kg humanoid looking marionette. The thing move with precision and a deathly economy of movement than any clock artisan will envy… and he is structural analyzing the hell out of it and all its armament and weapons without compassion (to the artificial construct or his own head). His okaa-sama at his side restrained by a steel cable mechanism was currently dividing her attention between assuring him than Tsunade-obasama is in her way to put a fist trough the puppeteer heart and shouting profanities to said individual.
"Its amazing all the things a concerned mother could said in front of her child when she is not aware said child can actually understand all the vulgarities leaving her mouth" Think the not infant.
Given chase after the eagle until the animal pose itself in the arm of a waiting shinobi attired in the standard uniform of the puppeteer corps Tsunade evaluate the ninja un a second and taking a chair in front of a rustic table put to said end as she indicate with a gesture than the other can commence to talk.
"I will be blunt; what we want is the scroll on the Edo: Tensei technique"
The exprecion on the face of the Senju matriarch said it all; but before she can communicate her displeasure the chunin put on the table a red scroll with the scorpion symbol and continue talkin.
"In exchange my master offers a copy of his personal jurnal in puppetry out of respect to the late Senju Tobirama"
Bad move. Tsunade take the shinoby by the neck and raise him in the air.
"I decline!, tell your kage than the Senju has no interest in your dolls and I take this as a personal insult" Spat the legendary mednin dumping the suna representative.
"I'm afraid we can't take no as an answer my lady; my master know since de beginning the negotiations gone to be tough so we take pertinent measures to…" "Are you tratining me?, inprudent brat I will…" "You will do noting Tsunade! not if you want to see your clan new prodigy and his mother alive . As we speak Sasori-sama is taking the two to a location disclosed in the scroll, he will be waiting there for you to surrender the Edo:Tensei once he was sure the technique is genuine let him go. A puppet containing your clan members will be left and release them without harm after half an hour. Take in consideration than if you try something or the puppet is damaged both the gaki and mom dies. Fare well Tsunade of the sannin" All movements of the shinobi cease at once reveling him to be a simple marionette.
Not wasting time Tsunade seal the puppet in a blank scroll and after reading the instructions on the red one commence to run at full velocity. Two Kagebushin are immediately sent to check on her apprentice and bring a scroll explaining the situation to her sensei respectively.
At the same time in the previously believed safe coast village a recently awoken Shizune frenetically search for a now miles away Atarashiiki and Kinshirou.
Sasori found himself perplexed after all not always a three months old child manage to permeate your bunker puppet prototype with his chakra (or do other ting not crying and defecating related); even if he can't tell exactly what the boy is doing to his creation, outside of making just a tiny bit more difficult to control it. After thinking it for a second he decide to study the wood construct and destroy it is any foul play is detected.
"And you decide to wait until now than Atarashiiki-san is a full grow woman to reinstate her as part of the Shimura can?" A clary skeptical Sarutobi ask.
"She just give birth to a child than have the potential to become Shimura heir material; the boy is an asset to big for my clan and the village to lost to a life of wandering an gambling with your student" State in a clam and calculative voice the war hawk
"Even if I concur with you; and I not by the way; his mother is a Senju, has been since you refuse to give her birth right as a Shimura. Tzunade is currently planning to take full responsibility and for the first time since the death of Dan-san she if making something good of her life and if we… and be `we´ I mean than I am ordering you to not do anything… wait and let her reconnect with what is truly important then the village can gain back the loyalties of its slug princes, an extraordinary well trained mednin and a prodigy. That's not even mentioning al the baggage attached to simply give the head of the founder clan of Konoha the proverbial middle finger your plan will create" Explained an exasperated Hokage
"That is sentimentalism and well wishes without logic Hiruzen. Your student will became death weight the moment an enemy bleeds, furthermore if you wish to let her talents waste that is fine by me but doing the same to the boy, in war time, is plain madness. And when… and I mean when not if… the enemies of Konoha come to kill, or worst, train the boy and use him to destroy us…"
*CRASH*
The sound of the front wall crumbing (and taking with it the privacy seals) alert the pair of veterans and the five hidden ANBU to stand to attention and prepare for battle.
"Sensei is me" Announced a feminine voice flaring her chakra in the code to an emergency and not hostility in rapid succession. "There is no time, my original is moving to a location to retrieve Kinshirou-kun and Atarashiiki-san. The details are in the scroll" Finish the shadow clone dispelling itself immediately.
In seconds an ANBU has checked the scroll for traps and handed it to the military leader.
"ANBU Saru, take two full heavy hitter platoons and a hunternin team and assist Tsunade, the mission is a S-rank to retrieve alive Senju Kinshirou,Senju Atarashiiki and eliminate Akasuna no Sasori. Tora arrange a meeting with the Kazekague in River country and call my personal guard; Suna have much to explain" Order angrily the kage passing the scroll to Danzo.
In that moment a hawk carrying notices from the Iwa frontier enters the room and an ANBU takes the message.
"Sir, urgent notices Kannabi Bridge has been destroyed" Announced the masked ninja
"Even whit this victory we don't have the man power to withstand another front in this war" Comment Shimura
"We will not, there is Intel detailing Kirigakure movements to hunting down the Rokubi for a new jinchuriki you will deploy a ROOT contingent to seal the biju in a temporal container; if our allies have truly betray us then transport it to Sunagakure were Orochimaru and Jiraiya will instigate the release of the Ichibi; insulate the Kazekage and kill him in the initial confusion then re seal the beasts if possible and take them to earth country capital or as close as possible for a repeat, afterward apply a permanent seal to a pair voluntaries and return to the village, if in either one of the releases is not possible to recapture the biju return immediately. Of course if this results to be an enemy faction trying to inculpate Suna then we only will seek for a voluntary jinchuriki for the six tails" States firmly the Sarutobi with finality and hidden shame.
"And just when I was beginning to think the Kami no Shinobi has death only to encounter him patiently waiting under Hiruzen foolish ideals… well played my rival, well played"
