Chapter 11

PRESENT TIME

Yuki saw three shadows out of the corner of her eye and began running down the hallway "Got you!" She screamed out surprising Sakura, Yuki continued without waiting for any instructions from the older Jonin

"YUKI WAIT!" Sakura screamed at her, but the younger Chunin ignored her and continued to run in the direction where she had seen the three shadows. She turned a corner and almost ran face first into a wall, Sakura quickly caught up "I told you to wait!" She said once again "Now why did you suddenly begin running?" Sakura asked

"I know I saw something come here! Where did they go damn it!" Yuki said in anger

"Calm down Yuki, maybe it was just your…Wait a minute, why is there a random wall for a hallway that leads nowhere?" Sakura asked

"How should I know, I am not the one who designed this ship" Yuki answered mostly annoyed at not catching the stowaways

Sakura did a few hand signs before shouting out "Cancel!" the wall suddenly vanished showing that the hallway continued

"Those bastards used Genjutsu on us?!" Yuki clenched her fist and got ready to continue the chase, but Sakura grabbed her arm

"Yuki wait, we know nothing about them or how many there are. We know they are in this section of the ship so wait for the others to arrive" Sakura told her sternly

"But they could get away! We have to stop them" Yuki told her out of frustration

"Yuki, this is a ship in the middle of the ocean, they have nowhere to go"

"But they have…"

"I know, but still it's best we be careful, for all we know these people could be dangerous rogue ninjas"

Suddenly Toshiro and Hiyori arrived after they had heard some screaming and commotion coming from this deck "What happened?" Toshiro asked "We heard something that sounded like a fight down here" he added

"That was Yuki kicking doors open and tearing rooms apart looking for the stowaways, however we believe that they went this way. Yuki said she saw something and when we arrived here they had used Genjutsu to hide this hallway with a wall, it wasn't strong I was able to cancel it quite easily" Sakura explained to them

"So now that we have backup, can we go now?" Yuki pleaded with Sakura

"Alright, let's go" Sakura told her "BUT you fallow our orders understood?" Yuki didn't answer "I said UNDERSTOOD?" Sakura once again told her

"Yeah, understood…"

Hiyori and Toshiro weren't very sure of what was going on between the two but there was no time to ask questions, they had to catch those stowaways

Meanwhile back in Konoha, Sasuke was feeding Naoto. She had been unhappy and causing problems, so he had brought her back home. And although she was still being somewhat fussy, at least sleeping in her own room and knowing her surroundings kept her somewhat happy. However he would often catch her staring at the door, as if she was just waiting for her parents to come back home any minute. Once he was done feeding her he set her down on the ground so she could move around and play while he did a bit of Naruto's paperwork. He had no idea that Naruto had so much paperwork to do, he had always pictured the Hokage's job as just giving out missions, reading mission reports and other odd jobs in addition to the protection of the village. He was almost done when he suddenly felt a tug on his pants, he saw Naoto who was using his pants to keep her balance as she stood up and stared at him. He smiled at her as he picked her up and sat her on the table "Hey little one, you miss your mommy and daddy don't you?" He said, not really knowing if she understood him or not. She just stared at him with her big blue eyes "I miss them to kiddo, but I am sure they will be back soon" He said with a smile, but Naoto did not smile back. The usually happy toddler had a hint of sadness in her eyes

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Sasuke set Naoto back on the ground and walked over to the door to answer, when he opened the door, he found a team of ANBU waiting for him "Uchiha Sasuke?" The man asked

Sasuke was surprised, everyone in the village knew who he was, then he thought maybe they were surprised to see him in the Hokage's mansion and were expecting to see Naruto, since most of the population had not been told about the secret mission "Yes, are you looking for…" but before he could even finish his phrase they jabbed a needle in his arm. Sasuke jumped back and took it out right away, he reached for his sword but found that his vision was blurring up, with speed one of them attacked him. He was able to par the first attack and sent the attacker flying back, but his vision was getting worst, a second one attacked him, he kicked Sasuke's blade out of his hand. Sasuke fell down to one knee, feeling his strength leaving his body as he fell over passing out, the men took Sasuke and began to carry him out

One of them turned back and saw something standing, it was a little girl with pink hair and blonde highlights, and bright blue eyes. She was barely able to stand up as her legs were unsteady and she was staring directly at them "Hey, what about her?"

"She is none of our concern" The other man told him

The men left the Mansion carrying Sasuke away, and leaving Naoto behind alone

IN THE PAST

Nami was still depressed from the passing of her father and now she had to deal with clan issues on top of that. Things were not going well, many of the clan members did not accept a girl as the clan leader, especially one as young as Nami "What do you mean half of our members have left to join other clans?" Nami screamed in anger

"I am sorry Nami Sama, but they do not believe that you can lead the clan like your father, many of the remaining clan members are demanding you step down as clan leader" The young man told her

"What about you Funato?" She asked him

"I have trained alongside of you and have been friends with your family since birth, I know how strong you are my lady and I have full confidence in your skills, however…"

"You think that I should step down for the good of the clan right?"

Funato was silent "Or… Marry someone from the clan, that way you can still lead, however the people will feel safe knowing that there is someone supporting you, I know you have feelings for that Namikaze boy my lady, but he is not of our clan"

Nami wasn't happy with that suggestion "So you think I should leave someone who I have feelings for to marry someone who I have no feelings for just to make our clan members happy? And who do you suggest I marry anyway? You?" She said out of anger

"Nami Sama, you have just met this Namikaze, how can you have feelings that deeply for someone you have just met? I am just trying to help you do what's best for the clan, plus the Namikaze clan does not exist here, you would be wasting your bloodline by continuing a relationship with him, as clan leader you should think of the clan first Nami Sama, think of what your father would have wanted"

Nami was beginning to boil over with anger, she had just lost her father and she didn't want to deal with this anymore "My father would not have wanted me to be unhappy, I am sorry Funato but I cannot do as you ask"

"What about the clan Nami Sama…"

"There will no longer be any need for you to call me Nami Sama, because I am stepping down as clan leader. That should make everyone happy and they can pick their own leader, I refuse to sacrifice my future or my happiness for a bunch of ungrateful people who are allowing prejudice to cloud their judgement" Nami said in anger as she left the room, leaving Funato in a state of shock

Meanwhile, all of the villagers of the newly named village of Konoha were getting ready for the big day they had ahead of them, they were all going to be voting for their future leader "How are you feeling Masaki?" Hashirama asked him

"I am alright, it's not like I am going to win anyway right?"

Hashirama smiled at him "I think you underestimate your chances, with me and Tobirama being in the race my clan will be divided. I am assuming the Uchiha clan will be going for Madara and you have the full support of the Sarutobi clan, that alone puts you in second place by my calculations, now factor in the rest of the people, a few of them may vote for Madara, but other than helping build the Uchiha compound he hasn't done much for the people. You on the other hand, you have designed and helped build the main tower, the village defense barrier and thanks to your ideas, we now have a safe place for the people to take shelter in the event of an attack. That my friend gives you an edge over all of us, there is also the fact that you are already viewed as a hero for saving those kids all on your own" he told Masaki

Masaki hadn't really thought of it that way, with the prospect of possibly winning the vote for leader he began to get nervous. If he won would he be the right man for the job? Would he be able to lead the village or would he drag it down? Tobirama joined them "Hey guys, so today is the big day huh? Good luck to the both of you" He said with a smile "Hashirama, would you mind giving me a moment with Masaki?"

Hashirama nodded and walked away, leaving the two friends alone "I heard that Nami's father passed away last night, it must have been hard for her"

"Yeah, but I will do everything I can in order to help her through it"

"Well, her clan is in turmoil right now, half of their members have left and the remaining ones want Nami to step down as clan leader, also the ones who left stated that if she was to step down, they would return"

"What? That's horrible, why would they do such a thing?"

"Because, Nami is a girl, a strong and powerful fighter, but a girl none the less. And in their eyes, she is not fit to lead, at least not alone"

"What does that mean?" Masaki asked

"Well I heard a rumor from a friend I have in the clan that if Nami were to marry, they would look past the fact of her being a girl, knowing that she has support from a man" Masaki began to get nervous, but this time it had nothing to do with the leadership vote "Here is the thing, it has to be someone from the clan" Tobirama added

Masaki felt horrible, as if someone had taken a kunai and drove it through his heart. Although he was wondering why, he had just met Nami, yet she meant this much to him already? Was her father right? Is he in love with the young girl already? However he knew that as clan leader, Nami would do what is best for the clan. He felt sad knowing that he was going to lose her, Hashirama suddenly came back "Guys, the voting has begun, you should put your votes in as soon as possible, by the end of the evening, we should know who the winner will be"

IN THE PRESENT

Sakura, Toshiro, Hiyori and Yuki were tracking down the stowaways. Yuki was having a hard time fallowing the instructions from the older Jonins, such as slow down and stay calm. But she knew that if she didn't she would be in trouble with Sakura, and in turn be in trouble with Naruto later on "Look at this, this must have been where they were hiding" Toshiro said as he entered a room that had sleeping bags and some supplies scattered around the room "From the looks of it, there are three of them" He said as he looked at the three sleeping bags

"But who are they? And why did they stowaway in the first place?" Hiyori asked

"Does it matter? They are here now, and they have my pouch, and thus must pay" Yuki said in anger

"Pouch?" Toshiro asked confused

"It's a long story" Sakura told him

Meanwhile, Naruto and Konohamaru were still searching on their deck "Nii-San, I just got an idea!" Konohamaru said to Naruto

"On how to find the stowaways?" Naruto asked

"No, Tomorrow is Yuki's birthday, she had a big party planed, this is her sixteenth birthday and it's a special day for her" Konohamaru began to explain "But she cancelled everything to come on this mission, now I know it was her choice and that she could have stayed home had she wanted too, but I was just thinking, what if she didn't have to throw it all away? We could have her party right here. Alright, most of her friends won't be here, but at least we will be here…right?"

"Well, it's a good idea, she may even not beat you up… As much…Or at least let you live… For now, but we have to catch these stowaways first" Naruto answered him, they then heard a lot of noise coming from above them "Did they catch them?" Naruto wondered "Quick Konohamaru, let's get up there!"

Naruto and Konohamaru didn't lose any time, they quickly ran towards the stairs that would lead them to the upper decks when they ran into three Ninja's, one of them, a girl got out a Kunai while one of the guys grabbed her arm to stop her "Stop it, it's over, what are you going to do? Attack Lord Hokage?" The young boy told her "He could probably take us all out with a single move anyway"

Naruto was surprised to see that they were nothing more but mere kids bearing the Konoha headband. Suddenly Yuki ran down from the upper deck "I GOT YOU NOW!" She screamed out as she was followed by Sakura Toshiro and Hiyori

"It's the crazy insane one!" The other boy said in fear. Both he and the other boy ran behind Naruto for some form of protection while the girl turned around and stood her ground

"Wimps!" the young girl shouted at them as she got ready to fight off Yuki on her own
