Where did the Hokage go
Rewrote chapter 11. Didn't like the last chapter I wrote, and I think this is much better.
Chapter 11
Karin has been running for hours trying to get as far away from Oto as possible before they realized she was missing. Stopping in a clearing, she looked around and realized that she had no idea where she was, but she knew she needed to take a break and find some food soon. The only problem with that was that she was extremely tired and her water container was emptied a few hours ago. Soon she she fainted from exhaustion.

Karin slowly opened her eyes. She immediately knew it was morning by the sunrise that she had a clear view of. She also was aware that she wasn't the only person in the clearing, in fact someone had put a blanket over her. She looked around and saw three kunoichi's sitting around a recently put out fire, "hello?" she said slowly.
"Don't speak, you look like you haven't had food or water in days," one of the kunoichi's told her as she put some water and food in front of her, "eat." she demanded.
Karin wasted no time as she ate and drunk, "thank you, I thought I would die of hunger or thirst." she said.
"Now I'm Kurenai, this is Anko and Yuugao." the red-eyed woman told her while pointing to the two purple-haired women on either side of her.
"I'm Karin." she told them.
"Ok Karin, why are you in the middle of nowhere unconscious?" Yuugao asked.
"I use to be a subordinate and jailer for Orochimaru." she told them.
"So how does that leave you here?" Anko asked.
"I ran away, I was with Orochimaru since I was a child, I believed that he cared for me because out of everyone he always kept me, he taught me everything I know. But I found out that he just kept me so I can produce children for him." she told them in anger.
"Sounds like something he would do." Anko told her.
"Where will you go?" Kurenai asked.
"I don't know yet, the village I'm from was destroyed, I was the only survivor." Karin told them.
"Come with us, at least until you have somewhere better to go." Kurenai told her.
"Where are we?" Karin asked.
"We are in Tea country now." Kurenai informed her.

Hinata and Samui walked into the kitchen just as someone knocked on the door, "come in!" Hinata called as she looked through the fridge.
"Hinata hows life with tails?" Mei asked walking into the kitchen with Choujuurou.
"Hello Mei what brings you here today?" Hinata asked.
"You know the Mizukage on a first named bases?" Samui asked in surprise.
The Mizukage looked at her, "this is the girl I heard about, the one who betrayed her friend?" she asked.
"I didn't betray her!" Samui stated, more to herself to the Mizukage.
"Did you stop talking to her," Samui nodded, "did you stop training with her," Samui nodded again, "did you leave her to fight for herself when she was double teamed" yet another nod from Samui, "you get where I'm going with this?" Mei asked.
Samui shoulders slumped, "I didn't have a choice." she told her.
"You always have a choice" Mei said.
"Are you hungry Mei and Choujuurou?" Hinata asked.
"I don't mind something to eat." Mei told her.
"I'm not to hungry right now." Choujuurou told them.
Mei looked at him with a knowing smile, "going to see Sakura?" she asked.
Choujuurou nodded while trying to hide his slightly tinted face, "I will return later." he said and ran out before they could embarrass him anymore.
Mei laughed lightly while pouring herself a cup of tea, "if more guys could be like him and Naruto."
"Where is Naru anyway?" Hinata asked realizing that she hasn't seen him since they returned home.
Mei shrugged, "I just got here, don't ask me." she told her.
'We can find him.' her demon thought to her.
'How exactly will we do that?' Hinata asked in return.
'Try and sense his demon half.' Kurai instructed.
'Question, does Naruto has his own demon or is it just Kyu in his head?' Hinata asked.
'He has his own demon also, once you become a hanyou you automatically gain your own demon to help control your powers, Kyuubi is needed to keep her power from taking control of him.' kurai told her.
"Talking to your hanyou half?" Mei asked.
"Yes, it gets use to, I still forget I can talk to myself and receive an answer." Hinata told her while smiling.
"Yes, it takes awhile to get use to, but they are very helpful." Mei told her.
"So, good to know I'm not the only schizo." Hinata joked.
Mei laughed, "you can think of us that way if you want."
The entire time Samui was watching the two thinking that they might need to get their mental health checked.

Naruto listened as Itachi explained everything about doujutsu's that no one ever told him. After telling him everything he needed to know Itachi told him he needed to master his own to fully understand it, "activate your shosengan." he told him.
"I don't see how spending my training just sitting here with it activated will help me master it." Naruto said.
Itachi looked at him, "if you want to master it, then keep it activated for as long as you can with as little chakra as possible."
"Itachi-kun, everyone isn't able to keep their doujutsu activated like you." Ayame said from her seat.
"I guess your right, I just hoped I could make him at least as half as good as Kushina was." Itachi said.
"I'll surpass my mom and master the shosengan like she would want me to." Naruto promised.
"Whatever you say, training is over for right now." Itachi said and walked over to Ayame.
Naruto sat in front of them with his legs cross and eyes closed. The two looked at him, "what is he doing?" Ayame asked Itachi.
"Training his doujutsu, he has it activated." Itachi told her quietly.

Karui walked into the kitchen straightening out her dress, "Hinata I'm going out for awhile." she said walking out the back door without looking at the people.
"Karui." Samui called somewhat nervous.
Karui looked at her in shock but quickly got over it, "what the hell are you doing here?" she asked angrily.
"I'm sorry." Samui said.
Karui glared at her, "I don't want your apology." she said before walking out.
The others watched as Samui sat helpless in her chair. She looked like she wanted to say something else but for some reason stayed rooted to her chair.
"Guess I better find Tsunade so we can improve our trade route." Mei said and left.
Hinata stood up and put on her jacket and let her tails hang out under it, "I'm not staying in here, so if you want to leave you better come on before your stuck in here all day." she told Samui before she headed out.

Uzushiogakure. Once a village that was considered on of the oldest of all shinobi villages. A village with rich history with Konohagakure. The village where the famed shosengan was born to the Uzumaki clan. The clan where they was feared more for their fuinjutsu then their ability to use doujutsu. The shosengan was by age, the youngest all the doujutsu's. The Uzumaki's was also known for their longevity thanks to the second part of their bloodline, cursed blood. As long as they could use it, the Uzumaki's was almost impossible to kill or torture. The Uzumaki clan truly earned their feared reputation, but that was many wars ago. When Uzushiogakure was prospering as a trade route and was able to challenge Kiri as the leading water based power. Now Uzushiogakure is a mere shadow of what it use to be. It was still lead by what was left of the Uzumaki clan, but the clan was barely touching 100 total members. While they still had great fuinjutsu abilities and their shosengan was still thought of as one of the great doujutsu's, the shear numbers of the clan was nothing to fear and could easily be out numbered. The current leader of the Uzumaki clan and Uzushiogakure was an old kunoichi who has survived two wars and multiple attempts by the other countries to completely eliminate the village.
She knew her time was almost up as she looked out over what was left of her one great clan. Often she would find herself wondering how she was the only from their great army to survive so long to witness her home in the struggle it was in now. She stood and walked to the front of the clan, "my time is almost up, and I have finally picked my successor." she told them.
The entire clan was quiet waiting on the announcement.
"The new leader of the clan and village will be, my youngest daughter, Chi." she said.
Everyone roared in approval as the young kunoichi walked up to them, "thank you for accepting me as the new leader. I promise as the leader of the village and clan I will guide us out of this struggle we are in and lead us back to the great clan we once was." she promised. She looked at her mother, "I promise I will find out what happened to my sister." she added.
Her mother smiled, "I know you will." she told her.
A younger version of the new leader walked up, "mom there is a group of ninjas at the gate demanding to see you." she said with worry.
"Mito don't worry, I will protect you and the village." Chi said as she walked out of the meeting.
Walking to the gate she saw a group of Konoha ninjas waiting on her. She walked up to them, "what do we owe the pleasure of Konoha visiting us?" she asked.
"Our Hokage has requested a meeting with the leader of the Uzumaki clan." one of them told her.
"Who exactly is the Hokage?" she asked.
"Kakashi."the ninja told her.
"The purpose of this meeting?" Chi asked.
"I don't know, we was sent to escort you safely back to the village to meet with him." the ninja told her.
"I see." Chi told him.

Kakashi looked at the work that was on his desk. He had no desire to do any of it, yet the village was already in a steep decline and he knew something had to be done if he was going to save the village. Snapping his finger a team of ANBU's appeared, "get this done." he said pointing to the work.
"What exactly are we to do with it?" an ANBU asked confused.
Kakashi thought about it, separate it, if it involves the civilians send it to the civilian council, if it involves the shinobi send it to my assistant. Also send a squad tot he Daimyou and collect every mission that is there." he instructed while going back to his beloved book.
The ANBU wasted no time doing what they was ordered to do. Soon his peace was interrupted again by the door opening and the group of ninjas he sent to Uzushio arrived, "we have brought the leader of the Uzumaki village." one said.
"Good, leave us, we have things to discuss." Kakashi told them.
Once the ninjas was gone Chi wasted no time, "what happened to my sister?" she asked immediately.
"She is dead." Kakashi told her without hesitation.
"How did she die?" Chi asked.
"During the Kyuubi attack." Kakashi told her.
"You lie, she had the Kyuubi attack." Kakashi told her while flipping the page of his book.
"Look at our leader when you address her." one of the Uzumaki's who came with her demanded.
"Aki calm down, we are a guess in this village." she told him.
"He requested you to be here, the least he could do is address you properly." Aki told her.
Kakashi finally looked up and stared at 10 sets of green eyes with 4 tomoe staring back at him. He smiled at them, "the reason I asked you here is because I would like to strengthen the bond between our village that has been allowed to decline in the years." he told her.
"How do you expect to do that?" Chi asked.
"The same way the Shodai did, a marriage between our villages." he told her.
"Sorry but I'm already happily married." Chi told him in a voice that didn't sound to sorry.
"I understand that, but I was thinking something that could bond the younger generations." Kakashi told her.
"Oh?" Chi asked curious about it.
"I understand you have a daughter that's 12 right?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes I do." Chi told him.
"Well the young man I have in mind might be a year older, but I assure you that you will approve of him and his skills." Kakashi told her.
"Who is this mystery person?" Chi asked.
"Well he actually is from Kumo, it is part of a three-way alliance, the boy is the son of the Raikage and will move to Uzushio to live with you while I will send a shinobi to Kumo for an arranged marriage." Kakashi explained to her.
"Why would I agree to this and who will be sent here from my village?" Chi asked.
"No one from Uzushio will have to leave, this will simply strengthen our once great alliance and bring Kumo in on it." Kakashi told her.
"You failed to tell me why I should agree to this?" Chi told her.
"I was informed that Iwa and Kiri are planning to attack Uzushio to finish what they started, with the alliance we will be able to stop the attack and save your village from being destroyed." Kakashi informed her.
Chi took this in, "who this information?" she asked.
"We was able to get it from a captured shinobi, his name was Naruto." Kakashi told her.
Chi nodded as she heard the name, "I would like to question him." she told him.
Kakashi sighed and shook his head, "that can't happen, he escaped with the help of a few traitors."
"Can I have their names?" she asked.
"Certainly." Kakashi told her and wrote all the names down on a piece of paper.
Chi read it, "Jiraiya and Tsunade of the sannin's are traitors?" she asked skeptical.
"Does it surprise you, they was best friends with Orochimaru who is also a traitor and was trained by Hiruzen Sarutobi whose family ended up being traitors." Kakashi told her.
Chi nodded, "and the person who I should look out for is named Naruto?" she asked again making sure to remember that name.
"Yes." Kakashi told her.
"What does he look like?" Chi asked.
"I'm sure your familiar with the Yondaime Hokage?" at her nod he continued, "he looks exactly like him, except smaller." he finished.
"Ok thank you for this information." Chi told him and turned to leave.
"Will you agree to this alliance?" Kakashi asked.
"I will send my answer back to you within a week." she told him and walked out. Unknown to her Kakashi has a smile on his face as his plan slowly started to fall into place. He sent a bird out of his window with a note attached to its leg.

Chi led her ninjas out of Konoha still thinking about what she was told, "mom are you going to agree to the alliance?" Mito asked.
Chi looked at her, "I don't know, I have to ask mom what she thinks first." she told her daughter.
(break)
Later that night the Raikage opened his office window and let the bird fly through. He took the note off its leg and read it. Smiling he would finally make them pay for attacking his village and ruining his attempt to get the strongest Hyuuga. He wasn't to worried about that though because the Hyuuga male he would receive was from the branch family but was stronger than most branch members and would produce strong children. Add that with the youngest Hyuuga head daughter, he would soon have his own army of Hyuuga's.

After a day of travel the Uzumaki's arrived back in Uzushio and was in a meeting, "mom what do you think about this?" Chi asked.
She thought about it, "I don't see anything to be alarmed about, we need them backing us and if its true that Kiri and Iwa will attack us we will need their help, we can't afford to waste time, we need to accept as soon as possible before they attack." she said.
"Is everyone in agreement?" Chi asked.

At the same time Jiraiya was in a meeting with Tsunade, the three demons, and Mei, "whats wrong you haven't paced this much since you found out Orochimaru became a traitor?" Tsunade asked worried for him.
"Its Konoha." he finally told them.
"What about them, they wont attack you with me backing you?" Mei asked.
"My informant in Konoha informed me that they are working on a three-way alliance." Jiraiya told her.
"Why is that information we need to know?" Kyu asked.
"Because it is with Kumo and Uzushio." Jiraiya told her.
"Uzushio, why is that important?" Mei asked confused.
"The Uzumaki clan is from Uzushio." Tsunade informed her.
"They have been so quiet that even I thought they was all dead, I have been looking for them for years." Jiraiya told them.
"So this village, does it have anymore Uzumaki's in it?" Shukaku asked.
"I'm not sure, but before we can go search you need to know one more thing," Jiraiya said stopping them from getting up, "the alliance is based around the fact that Konoha and Kumo has told Uzushio that Iwa and Kiri are planning to attack Uzushio and finish off what they started years ago."
"What this is an outrage, who dare to make such a lie about my country?" Mei demanded.
"That's the problem, I don't know where that information came from." Jiraiya told her.
"When I find the person responsible for this." Mei started but stopped as she looked at them, "we need to get to Iwa and form an alliance with them, I have a feeling that we will have another shinobi war soon at the rate at which Konoha and Kumo are going." she told them.
"We still have to worry about Orochimaru and Akatsuki, and who knows what Suna will do." Nibi said.
"Jiraiya find Akatsuki and follow them, I'm going to Iwa." Tsunade said.
"Shukaku go with him, Nibi come with me we are going after Orochimaru." Kyu told them.
"I'm going to Suna to try and make an alliance with them." Mei said.
The group nodded before they each vanished without another word.

Ayame screamed as pain ran through her, "Shizune where is Tsunade?" she demanded to know.
"Ayame Tsunade isn't here right now, I'm going to deliver your baby." Shizune told the screaming girl.
"Tsunade is supposed to be here!" Ayame yelled at her.
"Ayame we know Tsunade said she would deliver your child, but she isn't here so you have to let us take care of you." Hinata told her.
"Shut up Hinata, I want Tsunade here now!" she demanded.
"Ayame I understand that Tsunade made you a promise, but right now we have to get the baby out or your child might be injured." Shizune tried to reason with her.
"My baby wont be injured so go get Tsunade." Ayame yelled at her.
"Shut the fuck up, your bringing a fucking life into this world, be happy that you can, some of us don't have the fucking option even if we fucking wanted it." Tayuya told her before she started to walk out the room.
The group of females looked at her in surprise, "where are you going?" Ayame asked in a calmer manner.
Tayuya shrugged, "to train." she told her.
"Please stay?" Ayame asked.
Tayuya sighed, "fine."
"Enough talking, we have a child to deliver, Hinata go get some towels, Tayuya can you get a bucket of warm water?" Shizune asked while she tended to Ayame.

15 hours later Ayame finally gave birth to her child. Itachi ran into the room without knocking and ran to her, "where is he, where is my son?" he asked looking around. The rest of the people who was in the compound came in behind him.
"I have our child right here." Ayame said handing him the baby that was wrapped in a blue bundle.
Itachi took the child and held it in one hand while unwrapping the baby with the other, "finally I have a son to teach, a son to pass all my secrets down to, a son who will be my legacy, a son who will..." he stopped looking at the girl who was sleeping in his arms. He was completely shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Itachi-kun?" Ayame said softly.
"I bet the baby is so cute, has to be if Itachi can't even speak." Hanabi said in excitement.
Itachi looked from his baby to Ayame back, "a girl?" he whispered, "I have a daughter?" he looked at Ayame for conformation.
"Yes we have a daughter." Ayame said.
"I thought, we was supposed to have a boy, the first born Uchiha is always a boy." Itachi said.
"What is that supposed to mean, if you think for one minute to abandon my niece, I promise I will kill you." Shiroi promised.
Itachi continued as if he never heard her, "a girl, I can't believe I have a girl." he whispered.
"Itachi-kun, is there something with having a girl?" Ayame asked worried that he wouldn't want anything to do with their daughter.
"I think he wanted his first born to be a boy, every guy wants their first child to be a boy." Naruto said.
"Whats wrong with having a girl first?" Hinata asked clearly offended by the comment.
"Who is going to protect my daughter if something was to happen to me? At least if I had a son first then I would know that my daughter is safe when my time is up." Itachi said for them all to hear.
"Is that whats wrong with you?" Ayame asked.
Itachi looked back at the child who woke up sometime during all the loud talking and looked back at him curious as to who he was. She looked at him and he looked at her. She reached her hands towards him before making a gurgling noise and started to cry.
"She is hungry." Ayame said to him as he looked at her panicked.
"What does she eat?" Itachi asked.
"I will feed her, everyone out." Ayame demanded as Itachi sat next to her. Once everyone was gone Ayame looked at Itachi, "you know, she has an older brother already." she told him.
"No she don't, I don't have any kids and you don't have any kids." Itachi told her.
"That's true, but I have a younger brother." Ayame told her.
Itachi looked at her bewildered as she fed their daughter, "I didn't know you had a younger brother."
"Of course you did, I told you Naruto was like my younger brother awhile ago. He will treat her as if she is his younger sister, everyone else will also. She may not have any blood brothers or sisters, but she is their younger sister all the same." Ayame told him.
Itachi thought about this, "I guess your right, I guess I was to worried that I didn't think about that."
"I know you wanted a son, you told me every night how much you wanted to teach your son, you can still teach her everything you know." Ayame told him.
"I know, its just I don't want to push her to hard and she ends up hating me like Hinata and Hanabi does their father." Itachi said with worry clearly on his face.
Ayame laughed, "I have never seen you worry about anything as much as your are worrying about her liking you." she told him.
"Well, you heard what they say, when I'm training someone I don't hold back, I push them to hard." Itachi told her.
"I doubt she will worry about you pushing her to hard, she is our daughter so I expect her to be the best. She will want you to push her harder then you push the others, besides your the least of her worries with Kyu, Nibi, and Shukaku." Ayame told him.
"I guess your right, what should we name her?" Itachi asked.
"Mikoto Uchiha." Ayame told him.
"Are you sure?" Itachi asked.
"Of course." she told him.

Hanabi and Moegi was playing and never saw the two figures that appeared in the area. A quick hit to the back of the neck and both girls was knocked out and gone without a trace.
