Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Star Wars…man I feel like a broken record…
Hey guys its xNamikazeKyuubix here with another chapter of Naruto: Force Unleashed, I am also still working on 'Home is where you are' so don't worry about me abandoning it! Still slightly under the weather today, fever has broken but still coughing and sniffling with a slightly sore throat. Many thanks to my friend Brandon for spotting that mistake where I said Yagura is Sanbi's hose instead of host, I have corrected it already.
The polls concerning Yuugao's role in the story are officially closed as of now, the results of the poll is:
Yuugao will be in the harem with Hayate dead, the poor bastard doesn't get the girl and dies a virgin…so sad. Thank you everyone for voting in the polls, I will have a new one up soon!
I was surprised when I logged in today just 8 hours after uploading the story and the number of reviews increased by thirty one! Thank you everyone for reviewing so much and don't worry, I actually do read every single review even if it isn't something good. A lot of comments concerning Mikoto and Mizuki, basically around the whole request thing.
Review responses
Greed: The civilian council is able to vote on this because it is not really a shinobi matter par se but more along the lines of betterment of Konoha as a whole. So since this concerns Konoha as a whole then the civilian council is able to vote on the matter and the Hokage removing the civilian council is quite a common plotline so I won't be using it.
Kronos titan of time: Danzo does not really care about the small things since he actually cares about Konoha's strength but doesn't realise the way he does things is actually making it worst. So he just wants more Uchihas to be born, he doesn't care who the father of them will be. Besides marrying a root ninja is not something he would actually think of doing…do root ninjas even know how to have sex?
Narjiro: The final battle between Yagura and Naruto is sometime during the coming week while Mikoto has until the END of the coming week to FIND someone to marry. I did not say she had to marry at the end of the week; she just had to find someone who she was willing to marry and have kids with. So Naruto does not actually have to be there when she announces it, plenty of time for him to end the war and have his date.
Daydreamer727: While you are right on the fact that Naruto is 8 years old in this chapter, his body and mind have matured at a faster rate thanks to the presence of Kyuubi, Revan and Galen within him. So while his actual age is only 8 years old, he has the body and thinking of someone who is say around 16 years old. Besides I believe that if you really love someone, age is only a number… hell we have people in the real world marrying someone three times their age.
Many thanks and appreciations to everyone else who reviewed and for the large amount of compliments you gave my story, I will continue updating on a regular basis especially now that my Japanese course has ended. This chapter is going to be one hell of a badass with lots of action, Naruto against Yagura anyone?
So here it is for your enjoyment!
Chapter 5: Ending the conflict
Previously on Naruto: Force Unleashed,
"Arigatou Mei-chan…but I want you to promise me something." Naruto held her by her shoulders as he depolarized his visor so she could see his eyes.
"What is it?" Mei asked slightly nervous since she had never seen Naruto this serious before.
"Promise me that when the battle starts…you will stay as far away as possible from Yagura and I as we battle…do not interfere no matter how bad the situation looks, do I make myself clear?" Naruto squeezed her shoulders slightly as he said this; Mei was silent as she thought about it.
"I promise…as long as you promise me one thing…" Mei looked him straight in the eyes as she talked. "Promise me that you will make it out of the battle safely and that you will return to me…"
Naruto's eyes softened as he heard her plea, he drew her into an awkward hug since he was still in his armour.
"I promise I will make it out alive Mei-chan…"
Five days later: Day of battle
Naruto stood at the far end of the open plain in his armour, the black cloak flapping slightly as a small gust of wind blew through the area. Apparently this was part of the plan as well; he was to make sure the army stopped in the opportune spot where the maximum amount of casualties will be inflicted by the exploding tags.
With the small amount of rebels that actually use earth element techniques, the tunnels had taken them two whole days to excavate with small breaks for meals. On the third day, the tunnels were lined expertly with exploding tags but these weren't normal tags. Naruto had used his rather impressive knowledge regarding Fuuinjutsu to maximise their blast potential, making sure to take out more enemies with the blast radius.
Spreading out his force awareness, he could feel Mei's presence in the dense jungle foliage towards the east of the open plain. Naruto knew the enemy won't be able to sense them since he had placed some chakra suppressor tags around the ambush area to make the rebels chakra signature nearly unreadable.
'Let's see where the advancing army is…' Naruto thought as he pushed his force awareness further out across the open plain, just as he was about to reach his maximum range he felt it. A large group of force presences moving in sync towards him, Yagura was the one in front as his force presence had a double layer to it. Naruto found out that all jinchurikis would have a double layer feel in the force to him, the inner presence being the Biju while the outer presence is the host.
After a few more minutes, Naruto saw the approaching army with his own eyes and saw the look of surprise and confusion on many faces due to his presence. He waited until they were in the best position before he held out a hand to signal that they stop in their tracks, Yagura lifted an eyebrow but decided to humour him and gestured for the army to stop.
"Greetings stranger and who might you be?" Yagura asked as he tried to sense the threat level of the black clad person in front of him.
"My name? Well…you may call me Darth Revan…" Naruto's voice had that metallic quality whenever he spoke through his helmet.
"Very well Revan-san, would you mind explaining why you are here as well as why you told us to stop?" Yagura narrowed his eyes at Naruto.
"I am here because my presence is needed here…" Naruto answered in a cryptic fashion. "As for why I told you to stop…I wish to give you a chance to stop this foolishness and live in harmony with the bloodline clans."
Yagura was dumbfounded; this strange individual appeared out of nowhere and suddenly demanded that he stand down and live peacefully with the bloodline clans. The thought of it was so outrageous he couldn't help but laugh out loud, the rest of the army seeing their leader laugh decided to join in.
"You expect me to suddenly allow those scums back into our village when we have been at war for the past year? You must either be stupid or totally insane!" Yagura spat after he stopped laughing.
"Is that your final decision?" Naruto asked for confirmation.
"Of course it is, now get out of our way before I crush you."
"Then may Shinigami-sama have mercy on your souls…" Naruto replied without emotion as he found a single handseal causing Yagura to take a battle stance. "I feel like I should say some really witty one-liner before this, something like 'Art is a BANG!' or something along that line but I don't really give a damn so…"
"KATSU!"
The majority of the army felt the ground rumble and give way underneath their feet before they were consumed by a gigantic explosion of fire and earth. At this moment, the rebels burst out of their hiding places and jumped in to engage the surviving members of the army which was around one third the original.
"You planned this! You're another bloodline using scum aren't you?" A slightly singed but otherwise fine Yagura pointed accusingly at Naruto.
"What if I am? All you need to know is that I am your death." With that said Naruto launched himself at Yagura with a right kick to his head, he was intercepted by Yagura's right hand. Yagura pushed the leg away and jumped back a few steps while running through multiple handseals.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu! (Water release: Water dragon projectile technique!)" He shouted as a giant dragon of water materialised out of thin air and released a mighty roar.
'He has the same mastery over his water element as the Nidaime? No, it must be the side effect of having the Sanbi trapped inside him…' Naruto thought absently as the water dragon lunged at him, he formed a grabbing motion with his hands causing the water dragon to halt in mid-flight. Yagura felt his eyes widen when he saw the armoured ninja gesture some more and send the water dragon right back at him.
'How did he do that…is he a member of the Ryuusui clan? No…even they can't wrest control of water jutsus from an expert water user such as myself. Also…I didn't sense any chakra usage when he did that.' Yagura thought after he had jumped out of the way of his own technique. He ran through more several more handseals and took a deep breath.
"Suiton: Teppodama! (Water release: Gunshot!)" He spat out three consecutive balls of water, each with the diameter of a full grown adult. Naruto merely stared on in boredom as he raised both his hands in a stopping motion and the balls immediately paused in mid-air and dropped back onto the floor as puddles.
"What the hell are you doing to my techniques?" Yagura roared in frustration as he launched several more water bullets at Naruto, who just disposed of them in the same fashion.
"Bloodline." Naruto offered simply causing Yagura to ground his teeth in anger before snapping his fingers and three clones emerged from the puddles of water on the ground. They rushed Naruto and engaged in a furious taijutsu battle that looked more like a blurring of limbs and bodies to any spectators.
The clones were attacking in coordination with the original Yagura, when Naruto dodged one fist then there would be another attack coming from his blind spot. It was only thanks to the years of practice in honing his force senses that Naruto was able to dodge and successfully counter each and every strike.
"Why can't I hit you?" Yagura shouted in anger as he leapt backward after Naruto had disposed of his water clones.
"Is this all you have? Don't tell me you made Kage with these pathetic skills." Naruto taunted causing Yagura's face to turn red from rage.
"Don't belittle me!" He ran through some handseals. "Suiton: Baku Suishouha! (Water release: Bursting water collision waves!)"
Yagura spat out a torrent of water that covered the area around them, Naruto watched as the young Kage sped through more handseals.
"Suiton: Tsunami o Okotta no Jutsu! (Water release: Raging tidal waves technique!)"
Naruto whistled in approval as the water in the area gathered into several giant waves that were heading to his position, he quickly placed his hands together and started drawing on the force into his palms. The force quickly became visible as a swirling distorted ball of energy within his hands, Naruto pulled back and thrust out his hands with palms opened.
"Chikara no Taihou! (Force cannon!)" He shouted as a huge wave of force energy launched out from his palms and impacted into the oncoming tidal waves, the result was a spectacular explosion of water that rained back onto the ground. Naruto grinned at the slight look of fear in Yagura's eyes before it disappeared once he had reigned in his emotions.
"Looks like I have finally found a worthy opponent…" Yagura mused as he ran through more handseals.
"More jutsus? Haven't you learned you lesson?" Naruto mocked him but didn't like the smirk on the young Kage's face.
"Oh I did…Raiton: Kaminari Ransu! (Lightning release: Thunder lance!)" Yagura smirk increased as he heard the armoured figure cry out in pain as the jutsu hit him, the technique was meant to pierce but it looked like the armour blocked it.
"Son of a bitch! I didn't know he could use lightning techniques!" Naruto panted, though the armour stopped it from piercing him it also acted as a conductor and shocked his entire body.
'You shouldn't have gotten cocky Naru-kun, your force awareness would have normally sensed that attack coming but you allowed your confidence to get the better of you.' Kyuubi chastised him from within the seal.
'I know Kyuu-chan…' Naruto sighed mentally. 'Okay no more fooling around with this guy, time to get serious!'
Mei had heard Naruto's cry of pain and turned to see his smoking form crouched in the water, she almost ran to help him but bit her lip when she remembered what she had promised. She took one last look at Naruto's rising form before turning around and leaping back into the battle, she would place her trust in him once more.
"Guess I got a little overconfident there…" Naruto coughed slightly as he dusted himself off before running through some handseals, Yagura saw this and ran through his own.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa! (Wind release: Great Breakthrough!)"
"Suiton: Dai Teppodama! (Water release: Great Gunshot!)"
The two techniques clashed in the middle and exploded in a spray of water and mist, the two combatants burst out of the mist and engaged once more in a taijutsu match. Naruto caught a right hook and countered with a high kick to Yagura's left shoulder but was blocked by his left arm. Naruto grinned as he pulled his left hand back and thrust it directly into Yagura's chest and released a powerful force push that knocked Yagura back a fair distance.
Yagura coughed out a few drops of blood as he got back to his feet only to see an armoured fist make contact with his jaw that sent him flying into the air. Naruto used a force enhanced leap to jump up to his aerial opponent and delivered a series of powerful blows before force blasting him back into the ground.
Yagura groaned as he pulled his battered body back up as Naruto landed back on the ground, he quickly formed several Mizu Bushins to by himself some time to catch his breath. Naruto raised a hidden eyebrow as he created several Kage Bushins of his own without handseals to deal with the water clones.
"Yagura…I'm giving you one last chance to step down from your position as Mizukage and leave peacefully." Naruto offered to the panting Kage.
"You can…go and…die!" Yagura panted out before a huge amount of Youki burst out of his body and his wounds and bruises started to heal.
"I'm not done yet! Let me give you a taste of my true power!" Yagura screamed in insane laughter as the Youki surrounded him completely in the tailed beast cloak with two chakra tails swishing behind him.
"Shit this just got way harder…" Naruto cursed as he dodged an attempt to claw his head from his shoulders and leapt over a dual tail sweep that threatened to knock him down.
"Stay still you little shit so I can kill you!" A demonic version of Yagura's voice exclaimed.
"That's not exactly the best offer I've heard so I think I'll pass." Naruto deadpanned as he avoided an extended youki claw. Naruto retaliated with several force enhanced punches and was glad that he was wearing armour or the youki would have burned his hands. Yagura coughed as each punch connected with his chest, he created several more Mizu Bushins with the tailed beast cloak surrounding them.
Naruto cursed more colourfully as he began to dodge four times the amount of youki claws and tails, he soon started to get pissed as the assault didn't seem to let up.
"Okay fuck it, I didn't want to use them but you just PISSED ME OFF!" Naruto shouted as he unsealed both his lightsabers which he had named. The black blade with red glow he had named 'Shinku no Kage (Crimson shadow)' while the white blade with black glow he named 'Ten no Kage (Heaven's shadow)'.
Yagura felt fear rush through his system for some reason when he saw the armoured ninja ignite two energy blades that looked like the Raijin sword of the Nidaime Hokage. He quickly sent his clones in to attack while he ran through some handseals to prepare for a jutsu.
Naruto leaned to the right slightly as a youki covered hand shot past the spot his head occupied a second ago, he swung his lightsaber in a rising slash and felt some resistance from the youki cloak before he slashed through the clone and it dissolved back into water.
'So the youki is able to offer some form of resistance eh?' Naruto thought as he impaled another clone through the head as it rushed at him from the back and cut another one into two. He suddenly sensed danger coming from his left and turned to see Yagura finish his final handseal with a smug grin.
"Let's see you try and stop my ultimate jutsu!" Yagura shouted as the water on the ground and in the atmosphere gathered above him and formed the gaping maw of a giant dragon first and then proceeded to form the rest of the serpent-like body and two translucent wings fanned out across the sky.
The fighting across the area paused for a moment as everyone stared slack-jawed at the colossal dragon of water; nobody had ever seen Yagura use this technique before.
"Suiton: Koushitsu-Suiryuu no Saishuu Handan! (Water release: Final judgement of the Imperial Water Dragon!)" Yagura shouted in maniacal glee as the massive dragon flew up into the sky and with a roar dive-bombed in a spiralling fashion towards Naruto.
"Son of a bitch…" Naruto sighed just before the dragon slammed into him and exploded with the force of a hundred exploding tags, the force of the impact and the blast caused the water and dirt in the vicinity to kick up in a cloud.
"No…" Mei whispered as her face paled when she had seen the devastating technique smash right into the boy…no…man who had managed to capture her heart despite only being around her for a week or so.
The rebels all paled as they saw their only hope of defeating Yagura get struck by the massive water dragon while the Kiri army cheered for their leader's victory. Yagura himself was panting heavily since that jutsu used almost all of his chakra that he had left, he laughed in triumph until a voice sounded across the field.
"What's so funny you piece of shit?" The demonised metallic voice asked as the smoke cleared to reveal Naruto standing there, his armour was badly damaged in places. The shocking thing was the tailed beast cloak covering his entire armoured figure and it seemed to be repairing the damages made to the armour as well. The youki formed two rabbit like ears atop his head and two swishing red youki tails behind him.
"Y-you're a host too?" Yagura shook in fear as he knew only one Biju who had that appearance, the strongest of them all, the Kyuubi no Yoko.
"Why yes I am, surprised? I didn't even plan on using Kyuu-chan's youki but I probably wouldn't even be standing here if I didn't use it. Damn that jutsu packed plenty of power, great job creating it." Naruto growled but Yagura was too afraid to notice the affectionate way Naruto addressed the Kyuubi.
"I can't believe you took that head on and can still move…what are you? A monster?" Yagura stepped back slightly as a huge wave of killing intent burst out of the demonic armoured figure.
"You have the nerve to call me a monster? You, who killed hundreds of innocent men, women and children just because they possessed a Kekkei Genkai? No Yagura…it is you who are the monster. And your time has come." Naruto snarled as he pointed Shinku no Kage at him.
"No…never! I refuse to lose to you! I am the youngest to ever make Kage in history, I won't lose to you! FEEL MY POWER!" Yagura roared as he transformed fully into the Sanbi no Kyodaigame causing all fighting to cease as everyone turned and fled the area for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
Mei was at first elated when she saw Naruto emerge from the attack relatively unharmed but that turned into fear as she saw Yagura take on his most powerful form. She wanted to stay and support him but knew that she would only get in the way, this was a fight between two beings of great power and she could only hope Naruto was the victor.
"Damn that's a big turtle…" Naruto deadpanned as he looked up at the gigantic three tailed turtle that Yagura had transformed into.
The transformed Yagura let a sonic roar that would have sent Naruto flying like the trees around him had he not applied chakra to his feet. Naruto was forced to leap to the side as a gigantic armoured tail smashed into the ground he was previously occupying, and jumped again when another tail headed for his position.
The final tail shot at him while he was airborne, he twisted to the side and grabbed onto the tail as it shot past him. He pulled himself up onto the tail and ran down it on all fours as he tried to get to the head, Yagura shook himself to try and dislodge Naruto from his back.
"Wow down boy!" Naruto joked as he held onto the shell with his youki claws and shot off towards the head while dodging the three swinging tails that threatened to knock him off. Upon reaching the head, Naruto ignited both his lightsabers again and spun them around once.
"I said DOWN!" Naruto roared as he plunged both lightsabers up to their hilts into the armoured head of the transformed Yagura and then pulling them out and force leaping back to the ground. Yagura let out a roar of pain as the giant turtle stumbled backwards before focusing a hateful glare at the force user.
Yagura gathered water and chakra into his mouth before launching two spheres of water straight at Naruto, who quickly used the force to knock them off target slightly.
"I'm done playing a fool with you…" Naruto growled as he turned off both lightsabers and resealed them into their respective storage seals. He concentrated and called on as much force power as possible to gather in and around him, the dirt kicked up as a blue aura spiralled around his form. Yagura could sense his growing power and quickly launched all three of his tails at him in a bid to stop him from gathering more power.
"Too late." Naruto whispered as he held out both hands in front of him and caught all three tails in a force grasp and pushed them back to Yagura. He then used the force to grab the turtle's head and slam it repeatedly into the ground causing it to go into a slight daze. Naruto raised both hands to his shoulder height causing all the kunai, shuriken, rocks and even trees in the area to levitate off the ground.
He gestured towards the gigantic form of Yagura and immediately all of those objects shot off as improvised projectiles that pierced, cut, smashed and impaled him. Naruto breathed in deeply and exhaled as he fought to lift his arms as if there was a great weight on them, both sides watched on in awe as the massive turtle was lifted into the air inch by inch. Naruto was starting to pant as he inverted Yagura so that his head was pointed at the floor and slammed it into the floor once, twice and one final time before he let the body fall to the ground.
Yagura let out a sound that was in between a growl and a groan as he hauled his giant turtle form back to its feet, he once again charged chakra and water into his mouth. Naruto frowned when he saw this and lifted out his right hand in a closed fist causing Yagura to be unable to open his mouth. With nowhere to go, the condensed sphere of water chakra exploded inside the unarmoured mouth of its user. The giant turtle started to choke on the water before managing to hack it all out; he turned to face his opponent.
Naruto had gathered force energy over both his arms causing them to crackle with purplish blue lightning that raced up and down the length of his entire arm. He pointed both hands at the massive form of Yagura with fingers splayed out and unleashed a torrent of the deadly purplish blue lightning right at him. Yagura howled in pain as the lightning coursed through his entire system, it felt like both his body and soul were being electrocuted by the strange lightning.
Naruto was panting as he stopped his barrage for a second, the smoking form of the giant turtle tried once more to rise in a last ditch attempt. Naruto shrugged as he let loose another stream of force lightning at Yagura, who once again started howling in pain from the lightning. Suddenly the massive turtle form started to shrink and shift back into the scorched and damaged body of its young host; Naruto extinguished the lightning on both his arms and walked towards the body.
Yagura noticed from the corner of his eye the approaching form of the armoured individual and smiled slightly, Naruto was confused as he saw the smile.
"Why are you smiling?" Naruto asked, his voice having turned back to normal after he reigned back in Kyuubi's youki.
"You*cough* managed to*cough* break the hold*cough* the genjutsu had on me…" Yagura coughed out causing Naruto to gasp in surprise.
"I was right…who placed this genjutsu on you…it has to be someone strong since you couldn't break free of it and no one noticed it." Naruto's hand glowed green with healing chakra but was stopped by Yagura's hand.
"Stop*cough* I will tell you*cough* the name of this person*cough* just promise me*cough* one thing…" Yagura wheezed.
"Alright, just let me heal you first-" Naruto was interrupted by Yagura.
"No*cough* it's alright*cough* I can't face my people*cough* after what I've done…" He rasped out as a frown appeared on Naruto's face but he accepted the dying jinchuriki's wish.
"I want you to*cough* find someone strong*cough* to lead Kirigakure after*cough* I'm gone…someone like*cough* Terumi Mei*cough* yes…she will *cough* make a fine leader." Yagura smiled slightly.
"I will make sure of that…now who was it?" Naruto asked again.
"His name*cough* is Uchiha…Madara." Yagura whispered causing Naruto's and Kyuubi's eyes to widen at the name.
Flashback no Jutsu!
"Kyuu-chan…" A seven year old Naruto called out after they were done training for the day within his mindscape.
"Yes kit?" Kyuubi replied as she turned to look at him.
"Why did you attack the village?" Naruto asked.
"Well kit, I guess it's time I told you about it…" Kyuubi sighed. "When your mother was giving birth to you, the seal containing me inside her was at its weakest and somebody found out about that. A man wearing an orange spiral mask and a black cloak with red clouds on it attacked at the moment of your birth, he held you hostage and forced your father to decide between you or your mother."
"What happened then?" Naruto was entranced by the retelling of the events.
"Your father chose to save you first but the masked man had escaped with your mother already, he somehow managed to drag me out of the seal. I was about to attack him when he looked at me with that eye…an eye I did not expect to see ever again." Kyuubi paused to shiver. "The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he used the power of that eye to send me into a genjutsu influenced bloodlust that caused me to attack the village and your parents."
"What's the name of the man that did that?" Naruto asked with traces of anger in his voice.
"His name is… Uchiha Madara."
Flashback no Jutsu KAI!
"Uchiha Madara..." Naruto growled under his breath, it seemed like that guy was behind everything bad that happened in the shinobi world.
"Yes*cough* now do me*cough* a favour…" Yagura pleaded.
"Ask." Naruto replied simply.
"End it quickly for me…please." Yagura miraculously managed to not cough during that sentence.
"…fine." Naruto sighed as he unsealed Shinku no Kage and ignited it, the black blade with red glow sprung to life with a familiar snap-hiss. He positioned it directly above where Yagura's heart would be and plunged it straight in, Sanbi no Yagura died then with a peaceful smile on his face.
"There is no death; there is only the Force…" Naruto whispered as he resealed his lightsaber. "May you find peace within the Force brother."
With that said Naruto noticed the faint green chakra leaking out of the seal on Yagura's stomach and towards the nearby forest, he smiled slightly as it seemed his hunch about the Sanbi escaping was proven correct.
The Kiri army immediately surrendered after watching their leader die at the hands of the guy who just manhandled him in his Sanbi form. Now it was the rebels turn to cheer in victory as they tied up all the enemy troops and lead them back to the base, a small group of people made their way towards Naruto.
"Damn Revan, you just totally manhandled Yagura in his three tailed state!" Kengetsu shouted out what everyone was thinking as Naruto turned around with a chuckle.
"My real name is Naruto; just don't go spreading that around alright?" Naruto told the group, which consisted of Mei, Ao, Kengetsu and Hayase.
"Well than Naruto, that would definitely be a battle to tell any of my future children about." Hayase smiled as he shook Naruto's hand.
"He's right, that has to be the most amazing fight I've seen my entire life. And I've seen some really good fights in my life, I remember this one time when this Iwa Jounin fought this-" Ao went off on another one of his rants causing both Mei's and Naruto's eyebrows to twitch again.
"Ao…shut up or we'll kill you." Both of them said together with the sickly sweet smile and tone causing Ao to pale and shut up immediately while everyone else just burst out in laughter.
"Well Naru-kun, the war has ended thanks to you." Mei said. Naruto removed his helmet and revealed his face causing everyone but Mei to gasp in surprise.
"You're that young!" Kengetsu exclaimed in surprise, once again voicing aloud everyone's thoughts.
"Yes I am." Naruto deadpanned at the weird statement.
"And you can own a Kage level opponent?" Kengetsu waved his arms about as if trying to get the point across.
"I train a lot and eat healthily?" Naruto offered jokingly as everyone sweat-dropped.
"Mei-chan…Yagura wanted me to tell you something." Naruto's tone turned serious.
"What was it?" Mei asked in confusion.
"He wants you to be the new Mizukage…and he says he's sorry for everything he has done when he was under the influence of the genjutsu." Naruto replied causing everyone's eyes to bug out at the information. After a few minutes of explaining about Yagura's previous situation while leaving out the part where Madara was the one who planted the genjutsu, Mei pondered it for a while.
"…I accept the title of Mizukage." Mei finally announced and everyone gave her their support.
"Well now that my services are no longer needed here, I guess I will head back to my village." Naruto sighed sadly as everyone was saddened at the thought of their hero leaving.
"Couldn't you stay a few more days?" Mei asked hopefully causing Naruto to rub his chin in thought.
"Weeellll… it's not like I have anything important to do back in Konoha sooo… I guess I can stay for two or three more days." He decided as Kengetsu cheered and slapped him heartily on the back.
"That's great! By the way Naru-kun, I accept that date you offered last week…" Mei winked at him and walked off, leaving a stunned Naruto and gaping group of guys until Kengetsu broke them out of it.
"Damn man can you say score!" Kengetsu laughed as he slapped Naruto on the back again.
Back in Konoha
Mikoto entered the council chambers to find that everyone except the Hokage was there; she knew what she was here for thanks to Tsume for her advance warning.
"Uchiha Mikoto, we of the council has deemed it fit that you find a husband by the next five days or you will be engaged to Mizuki." Homura gestured to the silver haired Chunnin with a smug smile on his face; Mikoto restrained herself from ripping it off his face…at least for the moment.
"For what reason does the council want me to find a husband so quickly after I lost my last one." Mikoto asked to keep up the act.
"Since your son is not yet at the correct age to produce offspring, the duty falls to you first to repopulate the Uchiha clan." Danzo replied.
"And if I do not concede to your wishes?" Mikoto narrowed her eyes at the council members.
"Then we will strap you down and have Mizuki impregnate you." Danzo offered simply causing Mikoto to gasp in fear and several killing intents to be directed at him but he just shrugged it off.
"F-fine I will find a candidate by the end of the week." Mikoto conceded since she would be raped if she didn't comply and left the council chambers with Tsume directly behind her.
"That one-eyed bandaged old bastard better watch himself because if I don't tear him apart, I know Hiashi will." Tsume growled. It was common knowledge that the current head of the Hyuuga household hated rapists with a passion, his late wife had on one occasion nearly been raped by Kumo ninjas when she was pregnant with Hinata.
"I can't believe the council would go to such lengths just to make sure the Sharingan doesn't die out…" Mikoto sighed in disbelief as the duo walked to a Dango shop to get something to eat.
"…you going ahead with your plan?" Tsume asked as they sat down and ordered two plates of Dangos.
"It's the only choice I have…I only hope that he will accept after he finds out." Mikoto said quietly.
"Don't worry if he is anything like you told me, then he will definitely accept it." Tsume pet her on the back comfortingly.
With Danzo
"What is the condition of the patient?" Danzo asked the root medic that was just done examining the comatose body of Uzumaki Kushina.
"I'm sorry sir but she still doesn't show any sign of responding to the medical jutsus we are trying on her, not even our best medic has been able to get the slightest movement out of her." The root medic reported as he read from his clipboard.
"Damn it, why aren't any of our methods working." Danzo ground his teeth in frustration as he needed Kushina to be awake so he could use the death of her husband as a means to turn her into an emotionless root member. If that didn't work he could always lie and say her son didn't survive the sealing as well but all the planning went down the drain just because she wouldn't wake up.
"Keep trying different techniques and let me know if there are any changes. Also keep things as district as possible, if Hiruzen, or even worse the jinchuriki, finds out we have been holding her here then even Kami won't be enough to save us." Danzo ordered the root medic as he turned to leave the room.
"By your will Danzo-sama." The root medic saluted as Danzo left.
Some hidden location somewhere…
A man with an orange spiral mask wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it tensed slightly, the orange spiky haired male beside him noticed it.
"What is it Madara?" The orange haired male asked.
"Someone seems to have broken my connection with my puppet…" Madara replied in an annoyed tone.
"…is it that serious of an issue?" The male asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Not really, I expected someone to kill him eventually but this is way faster than I imagined." Madara admitted as he watched the rain fall outside the tower.
"…so we still move according to schedule?" The male turned to look at Madara, revealing a light purple iris with a ripple-like pattern surrounding the pupil.
"Correct, have you gathered ten members like I asked you to…Pein?" Madara addressed the orange haired male.
"I only have six candidates so far…" Pein replied. "Hopefully more promising candidates will appear in time."
"Yes…all in time…" Madara whispered as the pair silently listened to the dripping rain.
Wow this chapter really took me some time to write out but I finally managed to finish it after spending almost seven hours in front of the laptop. I really hope the fight scene between Yagura and Naruto lived up to your expectations; I spent quite a lot of time on that part. As you guys read, the Sanbi was freed and I may or may not have her reintroduced into the story at a later date. I know that will be my next poll! Go and vote in the poll to let me know what Sanbi-chan's fate will be!
Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, please continue doing so for I enjoy reading your comments. This is a reminder that Yuugao is now part of Naruto's future harem since this is what you guys have decided. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Naruto: Force Unleashed.
Ja ne!
