The group has tried, unsuccessfully, to convince Tsunade to return. "God what a stubborn bitch." Maiku groaned as he landed on the couch in his room.
"Agreed. But still Konoha needs her skills, we must get her to return." Naruto said closing the door. "Jiraiya is still at the bar where we left him."
Maiku got off the couch and looked up to the moon in the sky. "I got a bad feeling about tomorrow."
"As do I. What do you think?" Naruto asked.
"I think we better be ready for anything." 'Damn I could use that sword now.' Maiku thought. "Get some rest, we'll probably need it." The two fell asleep instantly unknowing what they'd be facing the next day.
Morning came, we find the chunin training in a large field. "I think I perfected this." Maiku showed Naruto his progress. In his palm was one formed Chidori. A second in his other had..
"Alright." Naruto applauded his friend. "That jutsu I've been working on in almost done, watch this." Before Naruto could move a large snake engulfed him.
"Holy shit!" Maiku drew his sword as the snake's head exploded.
"Thanks Gotsu." Naruto coughed a bit.
"No problem kid."
"Why can't we ever be wrong for once!?" Maiku yelled to no one.
"Fate is not that kind to you two." Someone hissed.
"Was wondering when we'd see your face again Orochimaru." Naruto drew his sword. "Was your first ass kicking not enough?"
"The other two aren't with you. So this will be different." The snake sanin opened his mouth and out popped a sword.
"I am so burning my hand off after I take that from you." Maiku shuddered.
"Try as you might Maiku-kun. The seals on this sword would destroy your arm." Orochimaru laughed only to be cut off by Maiku's.
"Once those seals taste the blood of a Yaiba member, I will gladly take it back." Maiku laughed at Orochimaru's scowl. "What? You didn't think my family wouldn't install safety measures if such a thing were to happen? Foolish."
"Yo we gonna fight or what?" Naruto flared his chakra.
Elsewhere
"Those brats you train are becoming a nuisance Jiraiya." A blonde woman barked.
"What can I say the two take orders well." Jiraiya was about take another sip of saki when he stopped and the dish fell onto the bar. "You fell that?"
"A massive surge of chakra. But why?" Tsunade asked.
"Shit!" Jiraiya cursed and ran out of the bar.
Back with the main characters
A large twenty foot long snake tackled Maiku as Naruto charged Orochimaru. "Fuck it bit me!"
"Kid, I'll see what I can do about the poison." Bogu spoke and went to work.
'Alright.' Maiku wrestled a tanto out of its sheath on his back and stabbed the snake between the eyes. Its grip on Maiku loosened and it well to the ground. "Alright lets do this!" Maiku fell onto his stomach. "Why does it feel like I had one to many?!"
"Sorry kid. Couldn't get all of it." Bogu ignored Maiku cursing at him and laughed.
"Naruto! I can't do shit right now!" Maiku shouted.
"I'll be fine for awhile so don't worry!" Naruto responded. Naruto was inches away from Orochimaru when his punch was blocked by Kabuto. "You brought your bitch along Oro-teme."
"That hurts Naruto." Kabuto pushed up his glasses.
"This is going to hurt a lot more." Naruto landed a punch in Kabuto's gut the brought his knee to his face. "Shit!" Naruto flipped backward to avoid a falling toad. "Aniki you alright now?"
"I think so." Maiku pushed himself up, staggered before settling. "Yeah I'm good."
"You two ok?" Jiraiya asked from the top of his toad.
"'Bout time." Maiku muttered. He drew Dragon's Fang as Kabuto charged brandishing his chakra scalpels. "Oh look, bitch came to play." Maiku swung his sword down effectively stopping Kabuto's charge. He let go of his sword and reached out grabbing Kabuto's wrists.
"Hold him still!" Naruto ordered. "Rasengan!" Naruto pushed the rotating sphere into Kabuto's chest. Maiku felt Kabuto's body about to move and let go. Soon after Kabuto flew backwards.
"Well that takes care of that." Maiku said. "So, should we help Jiraiya?"
"Nah lets just watch. Besides he's already got help." The two watched as the remaining sanin fought it out. They were awestruck, the display of power was amazing. "Holy shit." They muttered.
Orochimaru lunged at Tsunade with Kusanagi, aiming it at her chest. It was about to connect when something blonde dived infront of her. "N-Naruto?"
Naruto gripped the blade with both hands, holding it while it was still in his gut. "Watch your hands." He smirked.
Then Maiku's blade came down severing Orochimaru's hands at the wrist. Then he cut his right palm and gripped Kusanagi's handle. "Sorry Naruto."
Naruto grunted in pain as Maiku removed the blade. "Don't worry about it. I can feel Kyuubi healing it right now."
"Oi Orochimaru, what happened to the whole destroy my arm thing?" Maiku held the blade up. "Time to collect your bounty." Maiku charged crossing the blades going for the snake sanin's neck.
He was about a foot away when someone tossed a smoke bomb at him. When the smoke cleared he saw Kabuto standing next to Orochimaru. "Naruto. Next time we make sure the bitch stays down."
"Man that must be a blow to you Orochimaru. Can't do hand seals anymore." Naruto held up Orochimaru's hands. "Bet the old man would love to see these."
"I'll get you for this." He snarled.
"Yeah, you said something like that last time we fought. But aniki and I are still here." Naruto said.
"You'll see. Leaf will burn!" Orochimaru shouted before he fled.
"Yeah whatever asshole." Maiku said as he sheathed his blade.
"You two guys ok?" Jiraiya asked. The toad he was on disappeared.
"Yeah I'm fine. Kyuubi finished, though it's a little sore. That blade had a bit of poison on it and Kyuubi could only absorb so much at time while healing." Naruto answered.
"Are you two insane!?" Tsunade shouted at the two.
"Going with popular belief around the village the correct answer is yes, we are insane." Maiku said in all seriousness. "But they only think that because of the dangerous situations we always seem to fins ourselves in."
"And why do you get yourselves into the situations?" She asked.
"We got to protect our precious people." Naruto said.
"Alright, I'll return with you to konoha." She muttered almost inaudible.
"What! Just like that!?" Jiraiya yelled.
"Someone has to make sure these two stay alive." Tsunade ruffled Naruto's hair. "They are some of the bravest shinobi I have ever met. Not many would willing face Orochimaru."
"Lets go then. We didn't exactly tell anybody we were leaving." Maiku sheepishly laughed.
"Oh shit! I knew I forgot to do something! Ino is going to be so pissed!" Naruto ran around yelling. Maiku just sighed.
"And another thing!" Extreme yelling could be heard outside the Hokage's office.
"Lets just leave those four alone for now." Hiruzen, on the inside, was laughing as the two chunin accepted their fate. "Glad to have you back Tsunade."
"Can't say I feel the same." She sighed. "So what exactly do you need from me sensei?"
"We want you to take over the hospital. After the Sound and Sand attack we realized that the time off peace had us grow soft. We need to be at our best. So we'll need the beest medical staff to ensure team survival." Sarutobi explained.
"Understood." Tsunade stood up to leave followed by Shizune.
"Could you send in Naruto and Maikeru?" Hiruzen asked. Tsunade just opened the door and threw the two boys into the office before closing the door.
"If she just didn't save our lives I'd be pissed." Naruto said.
"I have another assignment for you two." Maiku and Naruto snapped to attention. "I want you to meet up with team 7. Zabuza." The jounin entered. "You are in to go as well. You're in charge."
"Hai Hokage-sama." The trio bowed.
Zabuza and team were running hard. Team 7 had a good lead on them. After coming to the town where the race started they took off across the water. "Do you think they ran into any problems?" Naruto asked.
"Who knows. There aren't any rules in this race, anything can happen." Zabuza answered.
"That just means we gotta take care of their problems." Maiku said.
They quickly ran onto the shore and into the forest to begin searching. After about half hour they heard the sounds of battle. "You two check it out." Zabuza ordered. The two ran off leaving Zabuza to work. Soon he came across a runner. 'Hm, thats not team 7's VIP.' Having read the brief he smirked. 'Looks like you lose.' Zabuza grabbed his sword, which Maiku returned at the start of the mission, and attacked. The conflict didn't last very long.
"Hey teme, need some help?" Sasuke looked up to see Naruto looking down at him. Maiku was helping Sai and Sakura was off to the side being useless as always.
"What are you doing here dobe?" Sasuke slapped his hand away and stood up on his own.
"The old man thought it best to send better shinobi to bail you guys out. Now then aniki and I will take care of this." Naruto looked at the enemy. "Hey aniki. It's the guy who stole the Raijin."
Something clicked in Maiku's mind. "Rokushou Aoi, Konoha traitor." Maiku began speaking. "Its time you returned to Konoha. Your head atleast."
"Like some punk is going to stop me." Aoi drew the legendary sword. "With this I can beat anybody."
"Someone will die here Aoi. And I can assure you, it wont be anyone of us." Naruto said preparing for an attack
"Bring it you little punks." Aoi began laughing.
"As you wish." Lightning formed in Maiku's right hand. "Lets make this quick."
Naruto jumped high into the air above Aoi, right arm extended forming a Rasengan. He fell towards the former Konoha-nin. Wind forming around him in a vortex and taking the shape of a dragon's head. Its mouth was open revealing the glow of the Rasengan. "Shikkyaku Doragon Arashi!" (Falling Dragon Tempest.)
Maiku closed his fist, lightning enveloping it and it took shape, also of a dragons head. He ran at Aoi, fist pulled back. "Totsunyuu Doragon Arashi!" (Rushing Dragon Tempest) Aoi panicked. He could only block one of the attacks with Raijin. He raised the sword to block Naruto, only to have Maiku ram his fist through Aoi's gut, who dropped Raijin. Maiku immediately removed his fist grabbed the sword and rolled out of the was of Naruto's attack, which effectively severed Aoi's head.
Mist filled the area and just as quickly disappeared revealing Zabuza carrying the body of the other runner. "Well done. Seal his head and lets get back to Konoha." Zabuza dropped the body as Naruto sealed the head as Maiku looked over the Raijin, inspecting it and making note of any repairs he'd have to make.
"See you guys back at the village." Zabuza, Maiku and Naruto took off at a sprint.
Hiruzen rubbed his head. Dealing with council members always gave him a headache, and he had one of the bitchiest people on the council, councilwoman Haruno. Hiruzen was going to tell her off when there came o knock on his door. "Enter."
Three figure strode over to his desk. "Hokage-sama, reporting mission success."
"Very good Zabuza. Anything to report?" The old hokage asked.
Naruto stepped forward. "Hokage-sama. We have acquired the head of Rokushou Aoi." Naruto set the scroll on the desk.
"And in my possession is the Raijin." Maiku said.
"Hokage-sama." Every male in the room groaned and didn't try to hide it. "About that sword. Might I suggest giving it to Sasuke? Better in his hand than in the hands of demons."
"The so called demons you are talking about happen to be sword experts." Hiruzen informed. "And as for giving it to the Uchiha, well that decision is up to its owner." Maiku shook his head. "Well then, no legendary weapon for Sasuke. Anything else to report?"
They didn't get a chance to respond as an angry Haruno began ranting. "Hokage-sama, he is a shinobi under your command. You could make him hand over the Raijin and any other weapons he has on him. In fact a lot of weapons are seal into his family's headstones." Haruno spoke and a few council members who entered and over heard agreed.
"Don't you go near those bitch! Or I swear you won't be leaving with them alive." Maiku threaten. "My family took pride in our work, our seals aren't careless. Even a seal master would have a difficult and long time trying to cancel them."
"I've seen his family's seals cancel all of Orochimaru's seals he placed on his Kusanagi." Naruto said. "You're in way over your heads if you try anything."
"Alright then. Anyone who tries to defile the Yaiba graves by removing their weapons will be dealt with a punishment handed out by the clan head." Hiruzen announced to the room.
"Death." Maiku spoke before using Shunshin and left with Zabuza and Naruto.
"We're back." Maiku announced as he stepped into his home. It was quiet. "Hm must be out on missions."
"Most likely. Village going through a rough time right now. Gotta complete as many as we can. We can not appear weak, our enemies will take advantage of that." Naruto said sitting down at the dining room table.
"Right. Zabuza get the sake!" Maiku shouted. "We're celebrating the return of two of my family's greatest accomplishments."
The three drank all night, un aware of events looming overhead. Somewhere a snake, and else where a murderer, plotted the next events in their plan.
'Soon.' They thought. 'Soon it will all com to fruition.'
