The Ultimate Alliance Of Authors Episode 19 Playoff Woes

The Ultimate Alliance Of Authors were at their base when they were faced with a crisis, one of their members, lulamaemobster, was in full on EMO mode.

"What the hell is the matter with him?" ravercozy asked.

"His favorite football team just missed the playoffs," Kage Bijuu said.

"Who? Manchester United?"

"No, the Steelers," Chewie Cookies answered.

"Where are they from, Madrid, Rome?" ravercozy asked confused.

"Pittsburgh," Morristofoxes said.

"Pittsburgh? I don't think that's in Europe," ravercozy said.

"American football," Blame Truth said.

"Oh," ravercozy realized. "You mean rugby for pussies."

"Hey," Kage Bijuu said. "Don't insult the only sport that we still do better than anyone else. Look at him, though."

They watched as a melancholy lulamemobster just sat in a corner holding a Ben Roethlisberger jersey.

"This is the second time I watched them miss the playoffs after winning the Super Bowl," he muttered before the pain got too much for him and he shouted to the heavens. "Death, you are my bitch lover!"

"We've gotta do something," Adngo714 said.

"But what?" asked Uzumakie.

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS

Tragic Families

A young couple was walking through the Leaf Village Forest, their destination was the fields for a picnic.

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" she asked.

"Yes, it is," he said as he set the food up.

They ate and just spent their time together until he got to business.

"Do you know why I asked you out on this picnic?"

"Yes," she answered. "You said it was because it was such a beautiful day."

"Well, that's not the reason," he admitted.

"Well, then why?"

"It's because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Are you asking me what I think you're asking me?" she said with a knowing smile.

"Yes, will you marry me?"

She just jumped into his arms and kissed him as she was so happy that she forgot to say yes.

"Well?" he said breaking the kiss.

"Oh, my god," she realized. "Yes. Yes, I will marry you."

They were basking in their joy when they heard what sounded like someone clapping, they looked and found a stranger stepping out of the forest clapping their hands and smiling warmly at them.

"Forgive me for intruding but I was walking through the forest picking berries when I happened upon this joyous occasion, congratulations."

"Thank you," they said.

To their surprise, it began raining as they stranger smiled at them.

"I guess we were so happy that we didn't notice the weather changing," the young man said.

"Just gather your things," the stranger said. "My home is nearby and I'd love to hear more of your engagement if you don't mind."

They wanted to say no but it seemed as if the rain intensified the longer they took and forced their hand.

"Okay," they said hesitantly.

They traveled to the stranger's home in the forest and found it a cozy unassuming place.

"You can sit down while I get the fire going," the stranger said still with a warm smile.

They sat down as the fire got started and the stranger got some tea going, when the tea was ready, they sat with them and they told the stranger of their relationship and how it blossomed from their days as little kids through their teens and to this day.

"That's so beautiful," the stranger said with a tear in his eye. "Well, allow me to impart a gift unto you."

"You don't need to do that," the young woman said.

"Oh, but I must, I insist," he said. "It's really nothing just a token of my admiration for true love."

"Well, if you insist," the young man said.

Without any warning, the stranger stabs the young man in the neck.

"Get out of here," he gurgled through the blood in his throat.

It was no use as her concern for her beloved wouldn't let her move, after he died her concern immediately transformed into fright as she looked into the stranger's eyes.

"What's with this freaky ass rain?" Kiba asked as he came to Naruto's house to hang out.

"I don't know, man," Naruto said. "It was just sunny too."

The rest of Pretty Painful were sent on a mission and hadn't returned yet so Naruto decided to hang out with his friends once more, one clone played Kiba in Leaf Village Ninja Storm, another played Shikamaru in Shogi, Shino and another clone were experimenting with his bugs and affects certain plant had when they ate them, the real Naruto just sparred with Neji and Lee while Sai painted and Choji cooked and ate.

"Damn it," the clone that played Shogi against Shikamaru shouted as he lost.

"Come on," Shikamaru said. "Let's go again."

"Give me a second, will ya? My brain is fried."

"Okay," Shikamaru said. "Just don't chicken out on me."

Shikamaru got up and looked out the window when he noticed something peculiar about the rain.

"Have you noticed that it doesn't seem to rain as hard around here?"

"Maybe it's dying down," Naruto said.

"No, you can see how hard it's raining in the distance, as a matter of fact, whenever this strange rain kicks up, it never rains that hard here."

"Maybe Naruto's just lucky," Kiba said as he beat Naruto in a game. "Now, if only that luck would transfer to his gaming."

"Oh, whatever," Naruto said. "But that does sound peculiar. Do you guys know if there's anything special about this area of the village?"

"Not really," Sai said. "Those trained in the root had extensive knowledge of every aspect in regards to the village for when Danzo planned his coup and there's nothing special about this area of the village."

The mini-mystery soon got the rest of them interested and they joined in.

"Here," Neji said. "I'll see if I can see anything, Byakugan!"

Neji used his Byakugan and what he saw came as an extreme surprise.

"This storm is full of chakra," he said.

"What?" they asked.

"Yes, and it seems as if it's reacting against Naruto's chakra."

"What do you mean?" Shikamaru asked.

"It's seems as if the mere presence of Naruto's chakra is keeping it at bay, like putting magnets of the same polarity together."

"Do you know anything about this, Naruto?" Lee asked.

"No," Naruto answered. "This is news to me."

"I think we should take this to Lady Tsunade," Shino said.

They left Naruto's home and headed to Hokage Tower, Lady Tsunade was in her office looking over the recent reports of missing people in her office.

"What could this mean?" she asked herself as a knock came at her office door. "Come in."

In walked Pretty Painful who arrived to give her report for their respective missions.

"We'd have got back sooner," Sakura said. "But those guys just didn't know when to quit."

As they gave their reports, Naruto and the others walked in.

"Naruto?" Pretty Painful shouted as they surrounded him to show their affection.

"Hello, girls," Naruto said.

"What are you doing here?" Tsunade asked.

"We've found something strange," Shikamaru said. "It seems as if this freaky weather isn't natural."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Neji found that this storm is full of chakra," Shikamaru answered. "Like a jutsu and if I had to guess, so are the others."

"What?" Tsunade asked in shock.

"That's not all," Neji added. "For some reason, it seems as if the chakra is repelled by the presence of Naruto's."

"It can't be," Tsunade said. "He's supposed to be dead."

"Who?" they asked.

"You're uncle, Naruto," Tsunade said.

"My uncle?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, his name was Kaikou Namikaze but he was a criminal and sentenced to death."

"What'd he do?"

Tsunade's face became downcast as he knew what she had to tell him.

"The Uchina clan isn't the only tragic massacre this village has experienced, it's actually not surprising that you and Sasuke became close," Tsunade said. "Your uncle murdered your father's family when he was younger, the only reason Minato lived was because he was out on a mission with his sensei, Jiraiya."

"Well, if he's supposed to have been sentenced to death, how would he be alive?" Naruto asked.

"I think I might know," Sai said. "When I was younger, I saw Danzo having a man taken from a room in shackles. When I asked about him, I was punished severely for questioning Danzo's will. It was a long time ago and he was kind of dirty but he had hair and eyes similar to that of Naruto and the Fourth Hokage. Though they were still very secretive when I got older and moved up in standing, they told me more about Danzo's operations and the prisoners that were held in that area were criminals that were used as slaves for the Root."

"That makes sense," Tsunade said. "Unlike Minato who was more adept for open combat, your uncle was used for espionage and assassination attempts, he was in the ANBU. His record is the only one better than Itachi, Kakashi, or Yamato's, but it was erased from the books with his convictions."

"How could something like this happen in our village?" Sakura asked.

"The Leaf Village was a different place back then, we didn't have all of the psychological testing we do now until the Yamanaka clan began to evolve their abilities. Though it was rare, it wasn't unheard of to have a perfectly normal shinobi go pass the lunatic fringe from their mission load."

"Well, if he was one of Danzo's slaves, how did he get out?" Shino asked.

"I don't know, Sai led everyone through a thorough sweep of Danzo's hidden lair under the village and nothing came up strange."

"That's right," Sai said. "We did the sweep and found the prisoners, they were all accounted for but don't quote me as I wasn't the one doing the accounting. They were transported to the Leaf Village Prison because the only thing any of us in Root knew were that they were criminals, only Danzo and his two most senior followers, Foo and Torune, knew after he wiped their records out."

"Shikamaru," Tsunade said ready to give out orders. "Go to the Leaf Village Prison with Sai and have the guards check every prisoner that Danzo used and see if there's anyone there that fits Sai's description, leave no stone unturned."

"Yes, ma'am," Sai and Shikamaru said with a bow before leaving.

"Go with them, too, Naruto," Tsunade said. "Your family's chakra has special properties that will allow you to tell if he's there or not, the rest of you will stay here."

They head to check reporting back within the hour, they return to report their findings.

"Well?" Tsunade asked.

"Nothing," Shikamaru said. "We didn't find anyone the even remotely resembled Naruto or the Fourth Hokage."

"And I didn't sense anything," Naruto added.

"Are you sure?" Tsunade asked.

"Not a thing."

"Damn it," she said.

"What should we do?" Shikamaru asked. "We can't have everyone in a panic."

"Spread the word to as many of the shinobi as you can find but be careful, it's not beyond his abilities to be one of those shinobi. Just tell them to keep an eye out, we don't want to let him know that we're on to him. All of the older shinobi know this story, tell them to let the younger shinobi know."

"Yes, ma'am," Shikamaru said as he left with their other friends.

"ANBU!" Tsunade demanded.

"Yes, ma'am," two ANBU said as they appeared kneeling before her.

"I want you to tell the rest of the ANBU to do a thorough sweep of the surrounding forests, make sure to bring everyone you find come back to the village even if you have to use force but be careful, never go anywhere alone. After you're finished, I want constant patrols of the surrounding forest using the Falling Leaves Patrol Pattern except for two of you, tell them to come here so that they can escort Naruto back to his home and guard him."

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"If he knows of your existence, he just may try to kill you too."
