Chapter 22: This is Just One Giant Mess

The sky was blue, the clouds were soaring swiftly, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the wind was calmly dancing among the leaves of a bright green forest. Little creatures were scuffling among the dirt and moss covered floors, searching for food.

Undergrowth, musky dead leaves and twigs cracked underneath Naruto's feet as he walked through the greenery of the forest. The blonde was searching for the Jinchuuriki—and thanks to his small network he created a few months ago—he found out that they were all gone. Now he was pissed.

A pissed Jinchuuriki was not one to be messed with.

Now he was making his way to Konoha. He decided that if Jinchuuriki were being hunted down for some reason, he decided to be in a large population. But whoever was after the bijuu was very smart, very strategic and very strong.

Either that or they had nature energy chakra.

But as for as Naruto was concerned, Tobi was the only person who could do such a thing. That lead him to think that Tobi was a traitor, and was Obito Uchiha.

The possibility wasn't very slim, and thus, supported his theory.

Naruto stopped dead when he felt five people surround him from the tree branches. He felt no killing intent coming from them, and continued without hesitation.

Konoha ANBU, I believe. Naruto thought. Kurama, sense anything negative?

No, you should be fine. Kurama stated.

Naruto slightly relaxed, slipping on some gloves.

What's those gloves for, kit? The Kyuubi asked.

Tobi is coming afte me. I wouldn't want to get my hands dirty, now, would I? Naruto mused.

Kurama sighed. Whatever.

Tsunade was enjoying herself after she was finished with her paperwork.

Was.

Now she was freaking out. An ANBU—AKA Squirrel—just came into her office, saying that a blonde haired male teenager dressed in an Akatsuki cloak and fox mask was outside of Konoha, wandering around.

They said it was like he was waiting for something to happen.

Tsunade looked up, hearing a knock on the door. "Come in."

Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura and Sai stepped into her office, a serious expression on each of their faces.

"Is it true, master?" Sakura asked. "Is Naruto outside of Konoha?"

"It is possible," Tsunade stated. "It's a very high percentage. I want you four to look for him. He's outside of Konoha. He shouldn't be too hard to find."

The three nodded, but Sai didn't.

"Who is Naruto?" he asked.

"Oh, right...you haven't met him, have you?" Kakashi asked.

"I have only heard rumors and stories about him," Sai stated.

"Naruto is our former team mate," Sasuke explained. "He left three years ago, leaving behind an infamous legacy of letting the Kyuubi no Yoko rampage before leaving with another Konoha ninja named Tsukiyomi Kai."

Sai nodded. "I see..." His eyes slightly narrowed in interest. So...this Naruto...is Danzo-sama's target?

Naruto stopped walking, feeling a familiar presence's. He 'glanced' over his shoulder and saw twelve outlines of the human soul's vessel—AKA the human body outline.

All of Akatsuki? Including Hidan and Kakuzu? Wow. Naruto thought. Well unless it was an order...

"Snowboy! We found you!" Tsukiyomi cried happily. But suddenly, his mood changed to happy to extremely pissed. He punched Naruto. "We've been looking for you for a fucking month!"

Naruto landed in a bush, and death glared at Tsukiyomi. "'The hell was that for, you stupid mother fu—"

Konan hit the two with paper frying pans. "Both of you, quit it."

Ban and Yoru whined, hiding behind Itachi and Kisame.

She sighed. "Anyways, we came here because it turns out Tobi is after the bijuu and Jinchuuriki. Naga—Pain ordered us to accompany you, because you are the last Jinchuuriki."

Naruto sighed, rubbing the lump on his head. "I had a feeling he would do that."

Tsukiyomi growled. "You're welcome! You stupid fu—"

"Hold on," Naruto interrupted. "Ero-sennin never reported back to Tsunade-baa-chan. So right now, Akatsuki is enemy to the Five Nations'."

"I told you so, you mother fuckers!" Hidan shouted. He turned to the rest of the group. "Why won't anyone listen to me?! You damned fuckers!"

"Maybe it's because, for one, you're annoying," Itachi stated, "and second, you never listen; especially when it's important." His voice was soaked in sarcasm, making everyone give him skeptical looks.

"Che, you bitches are so bitchy," the Jashinist hissed.

Konan threw a paper pan at the silver haired moron. Her eye twitched in annoyance. "ANBU are watching us, bitch. Stop being so...so...so...bitchy."

Everyone paled in shock, including the two female wolves. One thought ran through their heads: holy shit, she just cussed!

Kakuzu rolled his eyes. "The world might just end at this rate."

Naruto 'looked' at him, confused. "What?"

The five hearted Ame nin sighed. "Oh, nothing..." The world is gonna end; I just know it...

Is this amount of humor OK? Yes? No? Maybe?

Looks like Danzo is planning something. Wonder what it's gonna be...?

Peace! :3
