Note: I do NOT own Naruto
Chapter 4: The Ambush
"He will pay for attacking our village and our Raikage that time." said the Lightning Ninja who lead the group. "You all know the plan?" "Yes, sir!" said the rest of the group. The group consisted of Nari and Rai from the Hidden Cloud Village, Tsurugi from the Hidden Mist Village, and Haru from the Hidden Sand Village, with Nari as the leader of the group. "I shouldn't have to tell you but be careful of his eyes." said Nari.
The sun had already set and their surroundings had started to go dark. As the group took their positions Sasuke, who was a ways ahead of the group, could sense he was being tailed and grabbed his sword in preparation for an attack.
Nari then executed his plan to strike at the Uchiha. "Gale Style: Laser Circus!" As the beams headed for Sasuke, he jumped back and drew his sword as the beams detonated just in front of him with bright flash of light. "Nggh." said Sasuke squinting his eyes from the flash. When next his eyes were focused, Tsurugi charged forward with the Thunder Swords, Kiba, previously owned by Ameyuri Ringo of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.
Sasuke channeled his chakra to his sword so he could use it's cutting power to cut through the sword. As Sasuke clashed his sword against Kiba, his sword could not cut through the blade as his opponent was funneling his chakra to use the lightning effect of the blade to parry Sasuke's attack. "That sword… where did you get it?" asked Sasuke. "Wouldn't you like to know… Sasuke Uchiha."
"Wind Style: Gale Stream" Haru unleashed his jutsu from above directly between Sasuke and Tsurugi. Sasuke and Tsurugi jumped away from the attack. However, Sasuke was heading towards the direction where Rai was waiting. "Lightning Style: Flash Piller!" As Sasuke neared Rai, he did not turn around to not be caught in the attack but raised his right foot to kick his opponent. "I've seen that move once before, you won't catch me in a genjutsu so easily". "Maybe not, but that wasn't the point of this move." "What?!"
As Sasuke's foot made contact with Rai, the body dispersed and changed into electricity, "A lightning clone!" but before it could hit, Sasuke accessed the powers of his Rinnegan using the powers of the Preta Path to absorb the attack. "That was too close." Sasuke said as he landed and started searching for his opponents.
But before Sasuke realized it, his body was tied up with what appeared to be thread but looked on as he saw the Mist ninja use another weapon, this time it was Nuibari, another sword previously owned by a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, Kushimaru Kuriarare. "Hmmph. You think this can hold me?"
"No, but this should." As Nari arrived and struck Sasuke in the pressure point on his neck causing Sasuke to fall over unconscious. "Well, it's a start. Now to take him back and show him some justice. Put "that" on him now" said Nari to Rai. "Yes sir" Rai reached in his pouch and grabbed what appeared to be a blindfold and put it over Sasuke's eyes.
"Good. Rai, I want you to go to the Hidden Leaf. Apparently from what I've heard, the Uchiha had a kid and as insurance, I want you to also grab someone else." Nari motioned to his right-hand man and whispered who his other target would be. "Understood, sir!" and he took off in the direction of the Hidden Leaf.
"Soon, the world will see that peace is impossible to achieve." Nari said in his mind as he took Sasuke and the group headed back to their hideout.
We now head back to Naruto's group. The next morning.
As Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru and Sai arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village, they were greeted by Cee, one of the Raikage's bodyguards. "Welcome Leaf shinobi, we received word from your Hokage you would be arriving" As the four ninja disembarked from the ink eagles, Naruto looked around the area. "Where is Octopops?"
"He's off training at the Storm Cloud Ravine. But first, the Raikage would like to discuss the matter of these rebels with you four."
As the group followed Cee to the Raikage's office, the kunoichi of the village looked on as they recognized the Hero of the Ninja World who saved them from Madara Uchiha and they waved and called out to him "Naruto-Sama!".
"There are people even here that are still cheering for me?"
"I would imagine a similar scenario would play out wherever you were to go, Naruto." said Sai.
"*sigh*, this is really turning out to be a drag." said Shikamaru who has watched Naruto get swarmed by different konoichi for months after the 4th Great Ninja War. Hinata hung her head down remembering that in the days before the Rinne Festival, the year of the Toneri incident, many girls from the Leaf village gave Naruto gifts and she was starting to feel left out and jealous because of their attraction to Naruto.
Naruto put his hand on Hinata's shoulders and whispered, "Don't worry Hinata, you are the only one I want to be with." Hinata looked back and saw Naruto's smile and she smiled back and then her hand grabbed Naruto's and the two were walking hand in hand, causing the kunoichi of the village to become envious. Their faces showing either glaring eyes or shock.
"Boy, you sure changed the mood of everyone here, Naruto." said Sai.
Naruto could only respond with a sigh of exasperation.
"You okay, Naruto-kun?" asked Hinata.
"Huh? Yeah, I'll be fine." said Naruto.
Finally, the group arrived at the Raikage's office as Cee knocked on the door to the office, "Enter"
The door opened and the person that greeted them was Darui, the Fifth Raikage. "Yo, what's up Leaf shinobi?"
"Is there anything you can tell us about this group of rebels, Raikage?" asked Shikamaru "Oh, right of the bat, eh? Well, unfortunately we don't know much about the group's activities or what their end game is, but what we do know is that there has been suspicious activity on an island just off of Storm Cloud Ravine." explained Darui.
"In fact, Killer Bee may be able to…" but before the Raikage could finish his sentence, the door behind Naruto's group swung open.
"Yo, who be uttering my name? Must be because of my fame, Yeah."
Now we head back to the Hidden Leaf Village
"Hey, everyone how bout we go out today and start getting preparations ready for Hinata's birthday?" said Sakura.
"Yes!" said Boruto, Himawari and Sarada in unison.
The group grabbed their winter gear and prepared to venture out into the village. "Now I want everyone to stay close to me. Promise?" said Sakura to her group. "Promise" said Himawari and Sarada. Boruto was still putting on his shoes. "Boruto!"
"Y-yes, Sakura onee-chan"
"Good. Now let's go!"
The group ventured out into the village and Rai, who was staying far back from the house as to not draw attention looked on, "Targets confirmed".
End of Chapter 4
I apologize for the lateness of this chapter. I had been suffering from writer's block and for the last 2 weeks my internet had been out so even if I had been able to work on this story, I would not have been able to upload this chapter. Look forward to the next chapter. I'll try to be more efficient in getting them up.
As always, please leave a review to let me know how I am doing.
