As soon as Yukina couldn't sense the Konoha nin anymore she quickly collapsed, her strength finished. She surveyed the once beautiful scenery, as it now resembled the many war grounds between Iwa and Konoha.
More destruction, more death…. Why must it continue? This was so close to our city, a little more and Iwa could have been…
She broke from her thoughts when she heard a voice calling to her. "Yukina, we must leave quickly and organize ourselves. More importantly I must get you to the hospital." Yukina glanced down at herself. From what she could discern she had multiple rib fractures, a broken ankle, a dislocated shoulder, internal bleeding as well as multiple cuts and gashes on her body.
Damn it. How could I have allowed myself to lose to him… again. He always can stand after our battles… damn him. Damn him for doing this.
Yukina tried to get up when two strong arms lifted her up bridal style. She looked behind her only to smile when she saw who it was.
"Sensei!" Yukina, she almost completely forgot about her kenjutsu teacher. The dragon masked ANBU smiled back and nodded to her. He no longer had his mask on, discarding it for better vision in the battle so his brown eyes and scruffy looking face showed. He seemed to be one any would imagine to be at home, living a civilians' life with a family, not the ANBU captain he is.
Aoshi regarded the captain before slapping the man's back, eliciting a hiss from the ANBU. "I assume you want to take her to the hospital then… Soujiro." The now identified Soujiro nodded as he looked down at Yukina, who seemed to be drifting in and out of consciousness.
"It's the least I could do. She's my pupil and I couldn't anything but watch as she saved me from him… Aoshi-sensei."
Aoshi nodded and started to go back to the village having already sent a flare for reinforcements to clean up the bodies and secure the perimeter. "You did all you could Soujiro, I don't think even I can hold a candle to that Namikaze when he enters the Kyuubi state."
"What will you do now Aoshi-sensei? The village will be in a panic if they find out we were infiltrated by the devil himself. What's more is that Neru is dead."
I don't know what will happen Soujiro, let me think on this. I must handle the council for now. Go give Yukina to the medics and wait for me to come afterwards; we can discuss this further.
"Hai Tsuchikage-sama." Soujiro disappeared in a plume of smoke as Aoshi stood alone now where a just minute ago was a devastating battle. To think Konoha is so desperate for victory they would put their best in harms way? That cannot be. No, there's another reason why they sent him here. I saw his exhaustion. If certain factors would have occurred, the Shinigami of Konoha might have died today. Aoshi quickly left as well, shunshining away to his office, leaving the scarred land of the fight.
"Report."
"Mission was a failure sir, the Tsuchikage's daughter still lives."
Sarutobi couldn't help but be surprised as he looked closely into Naruto's emotionless orbs. Never had Naruto failed on a mission in the war, let alone a mission of this importance. "What was the situation that caused this failure?" "That would be the Tsuchikage himself Hokage-sama as well as the ANBU commander, Neru Akanaga and an ANBU envoy."
The old leader sighed in frustration as he pinched the bridge of his nose, his stress and old age showing. This assassination would have led to a Konoha victory in the war. He had sent his best and it was the perfect opportunity. This will not go well with the council. Sarutobi finally looked up at the ANBU squad, all perfectly fine except for cat, who had minor cuts and burns, and fox, whose only injuries now after cat and Kyuubi healed him, ranged from cuts and scratches as well.
"From what you have told me so far, it seems that Iwa will be in a state of extreme security for a while, would that be correct." Naruto nodded a stiff affirmative. "It's safe to say we have almost no chance of doing this kind of offensive again so tell me, what can be salvaged from this fox?" Sensing the Hokage's ire toward Naruto, Yuugao quickly tried to alleviate the tense environment.
"The situation isn't all that disastrous sir. Naruto managed to kill twenty of Iwa's ANBU as well as the ANBU commander before we had to retreat. Also it can be noted that the Tsuchikage and the target were injured as well with the latter being in critical condition. Though taichou couldn't finish the mission, he managed to incapacitate two of Iwa's greatest fighters as well as kill another."
Sarutobi shifted his glance to the purple-headed woman, his hopes starting to rise. "So you mean Neru Akanaga has been killed and the Tsuchikage and his daughter are at the moment too injured to be a problem?" This time Naruto chose to join the conversation. "Hai Hokage-sama, while Aoshi Obunaga is relatively fine, Yukina Obunaga will not be recovering for a while and Iwa's ANBU force is also slightly crippled having lost twenty of their elite." Naruto quickly went down on one knee, "I know I failed my mission sir and I accept any punishment given to me by you."
"I see… Sarutobi continued to look at Naruto's kneeling figure. "You have done well team fox regardless of the outcome. You all have helped cripple Iwa's leadership, and even though Yukina is not dead Neru was almost just as important. Also your battle with the Tsuchikage and Yukina has given us a great opportunity to take advantage of their weakness to attack more than ever. For now you all are dismissed, but I want cat and fox to be in the council room in one hour to explain the mission results to them. I can't be there because I must oversee preparations for this new development."
While Sarutobi was talking all seemed to have missed the small tense Naruto gave when he mentioned council. All except one though.
"Taichou…. taichou!" Naruto stopped his walk down the hall of the Hokage tower to see Yuugao jogging towards him. He waited till she was a few feet away before continuing to walk, eyeing Yuugao out of his peripherals. "What is it that you require cat-san?" Yuugao quickly got in front of Naruto stopping his progress all together. Swallowing her nervousness as Naruto gave her a look of annoyance, Yuugao decided to voice her observations from watching him report to the Hokage.
"I apologize for my rudeness taichou, but I would like to inquire if you are okay about the mission." Naruto raised his brow at Yuugao, now mildly interested she had the gall to openly question him about his feelings. Of course out of everyone in this village she perhaps was the only one he could relay some things to, given she has been with him since the beginning.
Naruto quickly checked around before looking at Yuugao motioning her to follow him via shunshin.
They both appeared on the top of the Hokage heads as the sunset was just cascading into dusk, the last rays of sunshine giving the sky a hue of red and orange. "Beautiful isn't it Yuugao?" Yuugao could only nod as she looked on towards the sunset before realizing he said her name. "I guess it would be okay to call you by your name too, right… Naruto." Naruto nodded as well before turning her back to her, his body pointing towards the sunset.
"You asked if I was okay about the mission, first of all what gives you the right to question me, me who is your superior. Second, why do you care. It is not as though my feelings affect you Yuugao-san," Naruto replied in a clipped professional tone, hiding everything. Yuugao saw through this though. She had trained Naruto, ate with him, and did missions with him as well as many other things. She knew Naruto when he was angry, indifferent, or even on rare occasions interested. She calmly walked up to him, convinced that the man in front of her, the man that people have cursed a monster, demon, murderer, and fiend will not hurt her for what she was going to say.
Standing side by side she now glanced at Naruto, who was studying her, with scrutiny and even curiosity. "Naruto… you need not hide your emotions from me… I have always cared for your safety and health… even when you do not appreciate it."
"Naruto's eyes softened if only slightly as he remembered the days of his youth when he was still innocent and how it was Yuugao, Kakashi, and Lord Sarutobi who were there for him. Sarutobi protected him before he could protect himself, Yuugao there whenever Naruto needed her, and Kakashi took him under his wing to make sure he'd survive in the ANBU. He owes his life to those three people.
Lowering his guard the kage level shinobi locked eyes with Yuugao allowing himself to gaze into all her features. She was truly a beautiful and kind person. At the very least I should give her something. "Hnn, you wish to know the truth then, I will comply…. The truth is I am disgusted with myself."
Yuugao reeled back taken by complete surprise. "Wh-what! Why? What have you done?" She took notice as Naruto brought his hands up to his face, staring blankly before curling his fist, his knuckles turning white. "Why is it, that even though I have sacrificed my life for strength and have surpassed my limitations that I must always lose? This latest mission has just been a string of failures for me. I maybe the most powerful man in Konoha but I am no where near my goals… I have sacrificed everything…. for nothing."
Yuugao grimaced knowing what Naruto meant. "You want to leave here don't you?" He glanced at her and beneath his icy eyes she smirked at what she saw was shock. "Yes it's not hard to figure out Naruto. You've had a hard life, but everything possible can be gained in konoha thanks to who you are one way or another. Everything except…"
"Freedom.." Naruto finished.
"I want to be rid of this village. I am tired of being the broken tiger, which must bow to corrupt masters. Sometimes I wish Lord Hokage had just left me alone to the fate of a emotionless tool…. perhaps then I wouldn't have to feel this pain…"
"I'm sorry Naruto. If it helps I will be there for you. I made a promise to you when you were younger and I care for you too so I don't intend lose you. If you go I'll leave as well." She almost laughed seeing Naruto's expression. "What, you don't believe me?"
The blonde killer snorted before looking forward, "You have done too much for this monster… I can't help but wonder sometimes what would I have been without you…"
Now it was Yuugao's turn to snort. "Ha, you would have probably leveled the village and left…. But not before conquering another village for Hokage-sama to rule."
Both commander and vice-commander of ANBU chuckled as they stood side by side watching the sun go down enjoying what little peace they could.
"Taichou"
Naruto turned to eye the mantis masked ANBU kneeling before him.
"Report." In an instant the slight playfulness in Naruto's voice disappeared making way for his void like speech. "Sir, the council demands your presence immediately."
Naruto looked down. He knew what would happen. "Understood, dismissed." The ANBU quickly spared no time shunshining as fast as possible away from Naruto. Said man looked down again, but this time in anger. "They still believe I am a droid Yuugao. I still have to endure their treatment of me."
Yuugao turned around and started to walk back to the village. "Well my taichou, I meant what I said earlier. I'll be there for you and that includes this meeting, like all the others….besides…..let's take the long way.
"What is her status?"
"She has fourteen broken bones, with at least one brake in every appendage. She had internal bleeding, but we stabilized it before it could get worse. The biggest issue was her right arm. The arm was damaged to the point where it was debatable to amputate, but in the end she was saved. She needs a week in bed, thanks to her abilities, and she's good for battle."
Soujiro released a breath he didn't know he was holding. To think the fight was so bad, Yukina-sama's fighting career was almost finished….
After the doctor's analysis, Soujiro walked back into the hospital room to see his pupil. Yukina's eyes were focused on the ceiling, yet her look in them was empty. Soujiro straightened himself out and walked forward.
"Yukina-sama….Yukina-sama….
Little by little the Iwa princess turned her head to peer at Soujiro, who sat in the chair right next to her bed.
"Yukina-sama, I have just received word from the doctor. He believes you will recover in about one week's time. You will stay here for that time and get better and you'll be out of here in no time."
Yukina tried to give a smile but memories from her battle reappeared in her mind. Her loss was most shameful. She as soundly defeated by the son of the bastard who made her motherless, and it was done in her own homeland. As she continued to piece together the battle and its outcome she came to a sound conclusion.
"Sensei." Yukina's void tone startled and temporarily took Soujiro by surprise. Never had she spoken like this. He was broken out of his thoughts when Yukina continued. "Soujiro-sensei… I am pathetic."
Soujiro blinked. Yukina would never say that. "I have shamed Iwa… I have lost over and over again to him. The citizens adore me for supposedly being on par with him, but all I have done was barely hold him off for tou-sama to come save me. My people…. The men, women, and children of my beautiful village… they adore and love a failure."
Tears spilled from Yukina's eyes but she continued on looking at her sensei, letting the tears soak her sheets.
"My incompetence in this battle has killed Neru, who was one of our best… I have weakened the village because I cannot beat him. How can I be the next Tsuchikage and protect my nation, when I know that man will be Konoha's Hokage? How can my father leave this village in my hands knowing I will fail to keep it safe from that monster?"
Soujiro was at a loss. His student was always ready to move forward and conquer. Ready to take on any challenge and win. Has this loss affected her so much? He steeled his nerves and met Yukina's pleading eyes.
"Yukina, I will not mince words… you lost. Naruto Namikaze has trumped you in fighting skill and prowess. By sacrificing his humanity that boy has gained power beyond all of our comprehension. However, in doing that he shames himself."
Yukina's eyes widened.
"Yes Yukina you see Konoha boasts of having a second Yondaime, but that boy is so far from that man. Minato Namikaze was a bastard and I will always hate him for killing so many of our forces, but at the same time I respect him. He never attacked those who could not defend themselves and never killed the innocent. He was truly honorable and worthy of being Iwa's foe… Naruto tried to kill me even though I was bound and helpless. He said he was sparing me from Ibiki but that kid has no feeling. The look on his face is nothing. He is nothing. Nothing but a boogieman and with all nightmares comes their demise when the sun rises from the tops of the Iwa mountain ranges."
Soujiro's gaze never left Yukina's as he fixed a look so focused onto his pupil Yukina felt she had, no needed to listen.
"Yukina, my student, you are Iwa's light. You may not know yet but it is you who will destroy the nightmare which is Naruto Namikaze and bring Iwa into the golden rays of the sun once again." Yukina's tears have long dried as she absorbed her sensei's words before closing her eyes. Opening them again Yukina's brilliant dark orbs had such an intensity to them Soujiro had trouble keeping eye contact.
"Sensei, thank you…. thank you so much. I will try harder…. harder than ever. I will bring peace to Iwa I swear it."
Soujiro smiled when he heard that. "I have no doubt in my mind… you will save us Yukina. You are our princess after all.
"Yukina-chan!" A loud voice rang throughout the hospital causing both Yukina and Soujiro to jump before turning to see the Tsuchikage panting. Before Yukina could blink Aoshi was by her side doing his own medic checks with whatever med-jutsu he had.
"Father, I am fine. You don't have to worry."
"Worry! Ha you should have seen yourself just a couple hours ago! You looked like hell," he said in a matter-of-fact tone. Before Yukina could retort he beat her to the punch.
"Wait my daughter. Please don't condemn me for loving you so much. You look and act so much like your mother. I can't help but worry. You're all I have left in this world, other than the village."
Yukina looked down in shame and sadness when her father mentioned her mother, Kikio Obunaga. Yukina never got to know her really, but Aoshi told her a lot. She was an Iwa jounin and was regarded as Iwa's best. She along with Aoshi were known throughout the elemental nations as the most fearful earth users in the world. They were a perfect team in battle and outside of it.
It was only towards the end of the third shinobi world war did disaster strike and she was wounded. Konoha's legendary yellow flash. The blonde fought her mother and father resulting in a grand battle. The outcome was a draw as both parties were too tired to fight and had to be brought back. However, one of the wounds Kikio received when fighting resulted in an infection. She contracted a disease and was forced into a hospital bed for the rest of her life. She finally died giving birth to Yukina after living life as a bed-ridden shell of her former glory.
The Namikazes. Yukina squeezed her hands till they were white.
That family has brought too much pain to this country, to this village… to her.
"Gomen tou-sama, I know you love me and I love you too."
Aoshi smiled at his daughter before adopting a professional face. "Yukina, the infiltration of Iwa by Konoha is unacceptable. We have allowed our greatest enemies possibly our greatest secrets. Moreover Iwa has lost good men for nothing. Therefore to right this wrong I am placing you in charge of a contingent of ANBU to find and assassinate Naruto Namikaze."
Yukina's eyes widened. Has her father gone mad? "Tou-sama you cannot actually think I am a match for him do you? I was just destroyed by him! In front of you no less!" Yukina continued to stare at her father, who held a smirk on his features. Yukina opened her mouth to speak again when Aoshi's raised hand stopped her.
"He may be able to defeat you now, but you have still not totally mastered everything of our bloodline daughter. This mission is set for one month from now. In that time I will personally be training you so you will be most prepared to terminate him."
Yukina was shocked. The final stages of her bloodline. She will finally be able to match him. "Yes father I am ready. As soon as I am released from the hospital I will work my hardest to ensure Naruto Namikaze breaths his last breath on my stained blade."
"Naruto Namikaze, do you have anything to add to what is described on this mission report?"
Naruto shook his head in a negatively with as little emotion as possible. He stood before the venerable council of Konoha. The overseers of the great tree and the holders of the leash tied to his neck.
"No venerable council, my report included everything that occurred during the infiltration. I assure you this is the truth."
The man who he was speaking to was named Koutaro. He was an old ninja who served in the council as a representative of the dying Kurama clan. Coincidentally, the Kurama clan was one of the most affected clans during the Kyuubi attack thirteen years ago.
Koutaro glared at Naruto, hoping to intimidate him, but it was no avail. Naruto's expression remained a void. Koutaro shivered as he gazed into Naruto's eyes to try and find something alive, only to fail.
Naruto's expression did change however when he felt his hand squeezed by someone. Looking to the culprit, Naruto saw Yuugao standing next to him, a look of sympathy in her eyes. He softened his features when he looked at her. He would never look upon her as he did upon them.
Sensing the human weapon's temporary weakness, another council member jumped to interrogate Naruto.
"If that is the case Namikaze how is it you lost? Moreover why did you not stay until the mission was completed?"
Naruto visibly seemed unperturbed however he was using all of his will power to not slice the unguarded neck of Hiashi Hyuuga.
"How can you expect taichou to accomplish such a suicide mission?" Yuugao all but screamed. "He couldn't walk let alone fight anymore and reinforcements from Iwa were coming."
Yuugao soon found herself under the scrutiny of every council member as they judged her with their old eyes. "Learn your manners ANBU member Uzuki. I still am against you even being here as it is the captain's job to answer to any complication. Be that as it may, you Naruto Namikaze must be punished for the failure of what could have been the greatest mission to end this war."
Koharu, who was Sarutobi's old teammate, voiced absolute authority as her response was met with nods from her colleagues. Yuugao could only watch as two ANBU appeared before putting their hands on Naruto. One look from the Shinigami of Konoha however was enough make both of the arrogant rookie ANBU let go and fall to the floor, shivering as they locked eyes with Naruto, whose eyes bled red before them.
"Enough!" Homura, another teammate of Sarutobi, stood up before walking to Naruto and backhanding the teen hardly across the face. "You will learn your place weapon! You have been trained to finish every mission even at the cost of your life and you just failed that! Beyond that you actually have the audacity to scare soldiers of Konoha with your malice?"
Homura continued to glare down at Naruto, who hadn't seemed to have recovered from the blow. Naruto's face was turned to the side in such a way Homura could not see the blonde's facial features. Had he seen Naruto in that moment, he would have saw fury. Pure loathing. A kind of anger only seen in those who have just witnessed their children slaughtered before them.
Naruto slowly reverted his face forward while schooling his hatred. Soon….. Soon…. Naruto knelt in front of Homura and brought his gaze down, showing submission. "My most humblest apologies honorable council, I have overstepped myself."
"Yes… Yes you have, your punishment was going to be just the norm for your errors however I believe your usual sentence should be doubled."
Koutaro smiled as his words caused many council members to nod. Among his supporters Koutaro counted the Yamanakas, Akamichis, Koharu, Homura, Hyuugas, Aburames, and all of the civilian council. Koutaro chuckled. He may not have been an influential shinobi, but he new politics and its tricks. Even without the support of the Naras, Inuzukas, and Danzo, with the support of four main bloodline families as well as the main council of Koharu and Homura the civilian sector of the council will quickly follow the majority.
"No! You can't do this! Naruto did nothing wrong. If he were any other shinobi, there would have been a celebration in his honor for killing Neru Akanaga. Please honorable council he doesn't deserve this." Yuugao pleaded hoping to spare Naruto from the punishment they were going to place him in.
"I agree with Vice-commander Uzuki. This punishment is unnecessary." Shikaku voiced out as Danzo nodded and Tsume backed. "Yeah, why must we be so harsh. This is his first failed mission. I feel you are basing your decisions off something else," Tsume shouted growling at the rest of the council.
Koharu regarded Tsume answering. "He is a weapon Inuzaka-sama, trained to weild the greatest of the tailed beasts. We expect perfection and more importantly obedience. The sentence is final."
Yuugao felt a lead in her gut as she couldn't believe what was happening.
Taichou…. How can you just stand there…. They are going to torture you.
As if hearing her thoughts Naruto looked back to her before staring deep into her as if he was looking to her soul. "Vice-commander Uzuki." Naruto's voice was the same as always, revealing nothing.
Yuugao snapped in attention. "Hai Taichou."
"Go home."
It was such a simple command yet two words never had such a weight to it. "But sir..." Yuugao tried to say before she was cut short by Naruto. "That is an order Uzuki. Go home and wait till our squad has a mission. I will inform you of course."
Yuugao gave a quick nod before disappearing in a shunshin, rushing away as quickly as possible to not show the council and more importantly Naruto her tears. She reappeared in her home before letting the hurt and guilt and fear show. Hurt for how callous and evil the leaders of Konoha were. Guilt for just standing there watching everything unfold. Fear for Naruto, as he must stay to face those monsters alone.
Alone
"You were always alone huh Naruto?" She said out loud as a single tear fell from her chin followed by another. "Even I who was like your mother, lover, friend, sister, colleague, and partner could never even begin to fathom you. Regardless will give everything to you and hope that I will be enough to keep your sanity." She sat on her kitchen chair before looking forward waiting. Hoping a mission would come soon.
"So my favorite pastime arrives."
Naruto slowly walked to the man who spoke to him before the ANBU behind him yanked his chains downwards. Letting all thoughts of resistance go he fell to his knees in front the man hidden in the shadows.
The darkness prevented anyone from discerning any specifics on the man, but Naruto was not just anyone. His advanced vision showed the man to be hideously scarred. The man's face was even slightly disfigured and his hands and any other part of his body not covered in his cloak had permanent burn marks. He was a fortunate or rather unfortunate survivor of the Kyuubi attack. Naruto never learned of this man's name even after all these years of the same punishment if he did something unsatisfactory.
He was resigned to discard his thoughts as his eyes traced the dark room. It was an old ANBU torture chamber located three stories under the ground, four miles away from Konoha. He had memorized every outline of this place from all the times he came here. He hadn't been sent here for a while though. It was a year since they punished him. The last time being for voicing his thoughts concerning a blatant suicide mission to bomb a nested Iwa base.
As he continued to re-familiarize himself with his surroundings he spotted two ropes just hanging from the ceiling. Noticing Naruto's curiosity, the shadowed decided to humor him.
"Oh Naruto-kun this is just a new addition, see due to budget cuts the council can only afford these two ropes as your support when I punish you… The rest of the funds were directed towards this." He motioned toward the whip on a table. "You see this cost a lot since it was created to hurt anything, even you Naruto-kun.
Naruto stared at the man with no recognition before walking to the ropes and holding onto them, his back now bare.
"Good, good you know the drill. I guess I should begin then."
The first hit was the worst. The spikes drilled into him with sickening precision as it tore his back apart. Regardless Naruto showed no outward acknowledgment. Waiting for it heal, Naruto showed his first expression since he entered the room, surprise.
"Oh if you were thinking your healing factor would save you like always I'm happy to inform you the Aburames were more than willing to let me test their new poison. Enjoy."
The second hit was only worse. "Don't worry Naruto-kun only eighteen left. Oh wait it was double today, my apologies."
Time skip
3 weeks
"Naruto Namikaze!"
Naruto and his team stood at attention in front of Sarutobi, waiting for orders. We have received word of a sighting of Itachi Uchiha near Tanzaku-Gai. Your team is to investigate and if Itachi is found you are authorized to use lethal force, understood.
A chorus of "Hais" resonated throughout the Hokage office. "Good now dismissed." Naruto, Yuugao, and the rest disappeared leaving Sarutobi alone. Please Naruto…. Succeed.
Naruto scouted out the roofs of the city of Tanzaku-Gai. His mission simple. To find and neutralize a man who was his mentor, friend, and only other person other than Yuugao to acknowledge him as a human. His team was on the other side of the city led by Yuugao.
Searching for any hidden or suppressed chakra signatures he stopped his search on a tea house. Naruto smirked before dropping down and entering the establishment. Sitting down on a mat next to a cloaked man Naruto glanced at him before ordering a green tea from a young waitress, who merely blushed and hurried away.
The man had a small figure like that of a woman but Naruto knew this man was powerful. His cloak was adorned with red clouds and his face was concealed by a ceremonial kasa, but Naruto could feel the man's aura.
"How is your vacation from Konoha Itachi-sempai?"
"It is superb Naruto-kun."
