Hello and welcome back to the nineteenth chapter of The Moonlit Third Eye. No answers have come in yet for the quote so I'm guessing that you guys are finding it a little hard, please be free to guess. I'm giving you some more time for that and not revealing the answer in this chapter, so best of luck. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF ITS CHARCATERS, I ONLY OWN MY OCs.
After the entire trial with Sensou and Miko had been completed the six Kages held another meeting at the secret room.
"So if what information we obtained from the two captives is true then Sasuke's base should be somewhere in the land of Grass" said A.
"It is actually the most common place," said Tsunade.
"No ties to anything, Akatsuki, Uchiha clan or Madara" said Mei.
"Most ingeniously thought out" said Gaara.
"We will send a war party from all directions and finish him off for good" said Onoki.
"No, he has his own army, plus the power of Madara, we will be defeated if we don't think this out properly" said Kimiko.
"Firstly we should make sure that he doesn't flee from the Land of Grass" said Mei.
"We will have all entries and exits to the land of grass blocked" said Tsunade.
"But won't that warn him that we're on his trail?" asked Gaara.
Everyone sat in deep thought.
"Well I have an idea but it will be very dangerous" said Kimiko.
"Lets hear it, we'll decide whether its dangerous or not" said A.
" The only way he won't listen to Madara but do as he pleases is when it concerns killing me, so what I propose is that I act as a decoy and lure him away from his army and fight him while our armies can launch a surprise attack upon Sasuke" said Kimiko.
"Impossible, its too dangerous for you, how will you kill him when he has that Eternal Sharaingan?"Asked Tsunade.
"Like we discussed in the previous meetings, with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal" said Kimiko.
"But that will kill you as well" said Mei.
"It may, it may not, but it will finish Sasuke that's for sure" said Kimiko.
"There is another way you can do it" said Onoki.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Why not try to lure out Madara Uchiha from within him, with Madara gone and his army totaled he will no longer pose much threat to us and we can bring him back alive" said Onoki.
"Why Tsuchikage-Sama, I thought you were all for killing him" said A.
"I was, but now I have realized that everything cannot be settled by death" said Onoki.
Everyone looked at him.
"Please tell us what this plan of yours is Onoki-Sama" said Kimiko giving him a kind smile.
"Well it goes like this…"
Konan, the leader of Amegakure received a letter from Kimiko that morning. It was long and lots of things were explained in it. It read:
Dear Konan
It has been a long time since I've had the pleasure of meeting with you in person. I hope once the war is over we will be able to meet and have some time together. I hope all is well at your end in Amegakure. I have written this letter to inform you of the plan that the Six Kages have formed to take down Sasuke and Madara Uchiha. We have sufficient evidence to prove that he is in Kusagakure which borders with Amegakure. I request that you keep a sharp eye on all strangers and townspeople alike that enter and exit the village. Please do not let anyone suspicious in. Also if you see or find Sasuke then please do not attempt to fight him by yourself. Instead send me a message as fast as you can and we will be there to aid you as soon as possible. Also I wanted to ask you to send me a book I saw in the archives of the base. It was on the fifth shelf from the stained window marked as Extraction and Sealing. If you would be so kind as to send it as fast as you can then we would be very grateful. In the below envelop is the plan and all the information we have accumulated from private experiences, battles, witnesses, captives etc. Please read them so you may know what to look out for. That will be all for now. I hope we can all get through it and lets pray to god all we can. Best of luck and please don't lose faith.
Best Regards
Kimiko Tsukiga (First Tsukikage of Tsukigakure)
Konan folded up the paper and rushed to the archives. She went to the shelf marked my Kimiko and took out the book she requested.
Sealing it in a parcel she created a paper bird and put the book in its beak and watched as it flew off.
"I wonder how Kimiko, Mei-San and everyone else is doing. I must protect Amegakure, id better inform the elders immediately" thought Konan as she walked out of the archives to the roof.
Kimiko stood alone within her room in Tsunade's main residence.
"You do know that this jutsu suggested by the old man may cost you your life Kimiko?"
"I know and I am willing to take the risk if it means ridding the world of Madara Uchiha once and for all" said Kimiko.
"But should you fail? Then what will happen? Your sacrifice will be in vain"
"Then its simple isn't it? I can't allow myself to fail" said Kimiko.
Suddenly she turned swiftly and threw three katanas outside the window.
There was a large yell and the sound of someone falling.
Looking out of the window she saw Uzumaki Naruto lying sprawled on the ground. Beside him stood Kakashi with a don't-look-at-me sort of expression on his face, well whatever part of the face that could be seen.
"Talk about clumsy; I can't believe this guy defeated the Leader of Akatsuki"
"What on earth are you doing Naruto?'Yelled Kimiko.
Naruto bounced back to his feet and jumped up to the room and hopped in with a swing. He landed on his feet but immediately slipped and fell face down on the wooden floor.
"And once again I repeat, I can't even believe this kid can control the kyuubi"
"Looks can be deceiving, I am a prime example of that, I look so sweet and delicate yet I sting like snake"
"Don't flatter yourself"
Just then Naruto got up once more rubbing the back of his head.
"So, to what do I owe this surprising visit in such an ungainly fashion?" asked Kimiko sitting down on the chair.
"I heard about the plan you and the other kages made" said Naruto.
Outwardly Kimiko didn't flinch but inwardly she was very surprised.
"Is the secret room so easy to breach? I have to talk to Tsunade-Sama about this"
"I know what you're thinking, I wasn't eavesdropping, I pestered Granny Tsunade into telling me a few things, I think it's an ok plan but I have a request for you" said Naruto becoming serious.
"And what would that be?" asked Kimiko eyeing the eager teenager.
" Actually it's two requests, I know you may not want to grant any of them but I you have to, its extremely important because it will help me get Sasuke back, get what I'm saying?" he asked.
"Kids got some determination"
"I'm very curious as to what these two requests of yours are, would you enlighten me anytime soon?" asked Kimiko.
"Firstly, I want you to train me" said Naruto.
Kimiko was most taken aback, "Train you?" she asked.
"Yes, I heard from Kakashi-sensei that you were stronger than Granny Tsunade too and that you knew all the technique of Pervy Sage" said Naruto.
"Pervy sage? I know no such person" said Kimiko.
"He means Lord Jiraiya" said Kakashi suddenly appearing in the room.
"Oh yes, I see, yes I do know the techniques of the three sannins, but for I believe you've already surpassed Jiraiya-Sama's strength haven't you? I mean to defeat Leader-Sama, it can't be done by anyone less" said Kimiko.
"Yes but I'm still not strong enough to bring Sasuke back" said Naruto.
"I believe that's true, while Sasuke is merged with Madara there aren't many who can equal to him" said Kimiko.
"But your one who can, and that's why please, I ask you to train me, to teach me powerful techniques" said Naruto.
Kimiko stared at him as if evaluating him.
"Very well Naruto, I heard from Tsunade-Sama that you are an accomplished Sage? And that you've trained in Mybokuzan?"Asked Kimiko.
"That's true, I've learned lots from Geezer Sage and Ma-Chan" said Naruto.
"Well ok, but I must warn you, my training will not be easy, also you have to prepared to leave your village for some time as I cannot leave Tsukigakure alone too long" said Kimiko.
"That's fine, if Granny will let me" said Naruto jumping and whooping.
"I thought he had two requests"
"Oh yes, and what about the second request?" asked Kimiko.
"Oh right, well, when you plan to fight Sasuke, I will come along with you, I'll help and bring Sasuke back" said Naruto.
"Absolutely not Naruto, there is no possible way you can do that" said Kakashi.
"In your current state I would agree with Kakashi Naruto. However if you are proven capable enough to master some techniques I might teach you, then with the Kage's permit I might allow you to accompany me" said Kimiko.
"All right, I'll learn whatever you teach me, I'll get granny to convince the other kages as well, I'll be able to bring Sasuke back, whopper, "said Naruto.
"Take about over enthusiastic, are you sure you want someone like him to be your pupil? He might come up with a disrespectful nickname for you as well"
"I don't mind, he's what you call an ever learner, there's no limit to how hard he can work or how much he can learn"
"Well it's your decision; don't blame me when he starts calling you triclops or granny or something like that"
" I'm leaving tonight Naruto, sharp at eleven, so you've got exactly ten hours to pack your stuff, say goodbye to your friends and mentally prepare yourself for what is to come" said Kimiko.
"Hai, Tsukiga-sensei" said Naruto jumping out of the room.
After Kakashi gave her a respectful bow and left she went over what happened in the last few minutes.
"See, I told you, no disrespectful nickname for me"
Tsunade sat facing Kimiko in her office.
Beside Tsunade were Shizune, Sakura, Kakashi, Yamato and Sai.
Beside Kimiko stood Naruto and Deidara, the two blondes glaring at each other.
"Well I'll let him go if you really want to take him up, but the question is how long will you be able to bear him?" asked Tsunade.
"I'm sure I'll manage, thank you Tsunade-Sama, please take care of my sister while she's here" said Kimiko smiling politely.
"Of course, I'll do my best with her. Also when the plans are complete then we'll be sure to inform you" said Tsunade.
"Thank you very much, I'll be most grateful for any information you can give me" said Kimiko.
"Very well then, off you go, oh I almost forgot, this arrived for you from Amegakure" said Tsunade holding up a parceled book.
"Konan's been pretty fast" she thought smiling as she took the book from Tsunade.
"Best of luck Naruto-kun" said Shizune.
"Take care and don't do anything reckless" said Yamato.
"Don't overstrain yourself, you do that a lot" said Kakashi.
"Thought I doubt what you can learn I'll still say my prayers for you" said Sai.
"Goodbye Naruto, take care please" said Sakura.
In the carriage Kimiko sat with her nose buried in the book she had received from Konan.
Meanwhile opposite her sat Naruto and Deidara as far away to each other as possible.
Naruto stared at the mouths on Deidara's hands.
"Got a problem foxy boy, hm?"He asked.
"Hell yeah I have, why do I have to be in the same carriage as you" said Naruto.
"Well if you weren't such a dumb wit you'd have noticed that I'm Kimiko's head bodyguard, hm" said Deidara.
"Bah! You couldn't protect a mouse from a cat" sneered Naruto.
"What was that? You wanna fight me, hm?"Growled Deidara pushing up his sleeves.
"Gosh the two of them are so irritating, why don't you shut them up?"
"I'm reading, be quiet" thought Kimiko.
"I like that, what about those two?"
"Just be quiet please"
"I'll show you" said Naruto standing up and then hitting his head hard on the low roof of the carriage.
Deidara doubled over laughing and Naruto fell on him pummeling him.
"You brat, I can't think why Kimiko took you as a student, you'll cause more and more problems for her, hm" yelled Deidara hitting Naruto's face.
"Too bad she doesn't think the same way as you, of course I doubt anybody except a frog would think the same way as you" yelled Naruto pummeling Deidara's stomach.
Kimiko sighed and shut her book with a bang.
"While I'm sure you two are very energetic it would give me no greater pleasure than to have the way of you shut the hell up" cried Kimiko.
Deidara and Naruto stared at her in surprise and quickly crawled back to their own seats and began glaring once again at each other.
Kimiko rest her head on the window and rubbed her temples, "What have I gotten myself into?"
