Chapter 32
IN THE PAST
Danzo barely had the time to dodge a flaming Kunai as Masaki came at him with speed, he tried to deflect his blade with his own Kunai, Masaki used this opportunity to kick the young ninja in the gut sending him crashing to the ground, but Danzo didn't give up. He continued to roll until he was back on his feet and used the opportunity to try and launch a counter attack. He took out his own blade trying to strike at Masaki, but he dodge each attack with little effort. Danzo left his backside open for a split second, Masaki chopped him hard on the back sending him to the ground again, but this time he threw four kunais simultaneously, Danzo's hands and feet were pinned down through his clothing by the kunais "Damn it!" Danzo said as he tried to struggle to get free
"I think we have done enough for now, let's take a small brake" Masaki told him as he removed the kunais, freeing Danzo who got up
"I can continue fighting sensei, I don't need to rest, please let us continue" Danzo told him while getting back into a fighting stance
"I know that you are eager, but you must learn when to stop, rest, and reflect on what you have learned so far. Let's get some ramen, my treat" Masaki said with a bright smile
Danzo looked annoyed, but it was only a front, inside he was excited about the free ramen, and Masaki was right, a rest would do him some good. Perhaps he could think of a better strategy "Very well Sensei" Danzo answered
Meanwhile Nami was walking towards the hospital; she had made an appointment for a check up after her talk with Masaki. On her way she encountered Hashirama "Greetings Hokage Sama" She said bowing in respect
"Ah Nami, it is nice to see you, it's a beautiful day isn't it?" He commented with a smile
"Yes it is" She answered with a smile of her own
"How are things going with the ANBU project?" He asked her
"Great, we have finished testing our first batch of recruits, they are working on their masks right now" She explained to him
"Mask?" He asked curious
Nami took out her own mask from inside her vest "All ANBU members will be required to wear one of these, it will protect both their identity and their families as well, and whenever they are on active duty for the ANBU they MUST be wearing their masks"
"I see, well I have to admit, it's a good idea" Hashirama told her
Nami finally noticed the little girl hiding behind Hashirama's leg, peeking at her "Well hello there" Nami said with a warm smile "And who are you?" She asked
But the little girl hid behind Hashirama "Don't be shy Tsunade" Hashirama said as he took her hand as she stood beside him "Nami, meet Tsunade, my granddaughter"
Nami bent down "Aww, she is so cute, hey Tsunade, I am Nami" she said to the little blonde
"H..Hi" Tsunade said in a shy voice
Hashirama let out a slight laugh "Nami, could you do me a favor? I have a meeting with the council coming up, and her parents are out on a mission, Tobirama is off somewhere. I could really use someone I trust to take care of her for me, it wouldn't be for long, as soon as the meeting is done I will come get her" Hashirama asked her
"Well… I would love to, but I have an appointment at the doctors for a check up, it would be really boring for a kid to just sit and wait around" Nami told him
"That's no problem, Tsunade is a good girl, I would ask Masaki but I couldn't find him. I am really desperate, Nami please?" Hashirama asked again
"Masaki is training a young Ninja, he said that he has real potential, and well if you think it's alright then yeah, sure, I will take care of her" Nami finally answered
"Thank you so much, you have no idea how big a favor this is" Hashirama said expressing his gratitude "Now Tsunade, you're going to go with the nice lady for now alright? I will come back for you in a few hours, alright sweetie?" he told her as he bent down to kiss her forehead, he then let go of her hand and allowed Nami to take it before he walked away
"Well then, let's get my doctor's appointment out of the way, and then we can think of something fun to do, alright?" Nami said with her usual smile
Tsunade was still being shy, but she nodded indicating she agreed with her
Far away from the land of Fire, Madara was studying an old scroll; he began to grin "Those fools will pay… They will ALL pay" he said as he continued to read the scroll, suddenly he heard a noise, a young women walked into the room "Who the hell are you?" He asked her
"It is polite to introduce yourself before asking someone else's name" She told him
"Fine, I am Uchiha Madara, now who the hell are you?"
"My name is Ayumi, I am the sage of this temple, now why have you broken into this place" she asked him
"Sage huh? You look kind of young to be a sage" He commented
"I am older then you could imagine" She answered him
"Really now? So what, are you using some kind of illusion to hide your true age then?"
"I can assure you that what you see is my true appearance, and so I ask you again why have you broken into this sacred place?"
"I heard that this place had powerful secrets, secrets that could help me take care of my enemies once and for all" He answered her, not feeling threaten by what he had judged was a young girl trying to intimidate him
"I cannot permit you to leave with those scrolls, return what you have taken, and I shall allow you to leave with your life" She told him
"Look, I don't have the time for this nonsense, I will take what I want and leave, if you want to try and stop me then I will not be responsible for your death. You have been warned" He told her
"Foolish… You mock the powers of a sage? I will make you regret those words, Uchiha Madara, prepare yourself" she said as she released an enormous amount of chakra, a white aura began to form around her body as her eyes also changed, they went from dark blue to yellow with a shade of red under her eyes
Madara could feel the power radiating from her body, for the first time he began thinking that perhaps she wasn't lying about being a sage after all "Well then, I never fought a sage before, this should be interesting" He said with a grin
IN THE PRESENT
Itachi and Toshiro had infiltrated the demon village, so far they had been able to move around without being seen, they were able to break into what seemed to be an administration office of some sort0 Toshiro began to look through some files while Itachi kept watch, suddenly his eyes stopped on a document "Spies and Runways aftermath report" he opened the file and began reading it
INSIDE THE FILE
Report 1 – The Escaped Night duo
Those idiots from Shadow village screwed up something as simple as capturing two little girls, granted that our analysis of the two have proven that they are indeed powerful, they should have been able to capture them without needing our help. For two days they evaded them, even once they were cornered inside the sacred caves, they couldn't track them down. I swear, the only thing those guys from Shadow are good at is raping and pillaging. Once we here at Wolf heard about these two girls we sent out a squad to take care of them. Within two hours, they were in custody. The guys from Shadow have been demanding we hand them over so that they can conduct the sacrifice, in reality we all know they just want to rape them before they sacrifice them. Typical Shadows Ninjas, not a single one of them have any grain of civility in them. It's a wonder they continue to survive living the way they do. Of course we denied their request, they shall be sacrificed by our own hands and they shall be treated well until then. I had them checked out before locking them up, they are both young and healthy. The first one passed out from exhaustion, the second one was wounded, she had a concussion but should survive. After giving her basic medical treatment, she was locked up with the other one. They are both schedule to be sacrificed at the next full moon
Report 2 – Captured Spy
This is outrageous! How could the night be so deep within our borders?! This is the Wolf village, those guys from Shadow village were so preoccupied with capturing those girls that they didn't patrol the borders properly. I swear all they care about is pillaging, raping and killing. That being said, a task force that we believe was sent in by the night to rescue those two girls was discovered. They encountered the team of Suzu, Yukito and Tamao. They were caught off guard, which is understandable, the night should have NEVER gotten that deep without our borders. Nozomi then arrived on the scene and was able to help them out a bit however these night ninjas were more experienced. The leader was extremely powerful, it is interesting to note that Tamao and Yukito both report that Suzu was able to unleash hidden powers inside of her, giving Daiki's team enough time to arrive on the scene where they made quick work of the night ninjas forcing them to retreat. However we were able to capture one, his power level is incredible. He shall make an excellent sacrifice. He was placed along with the two other nigh ninja we captured earlier; we had to make sure to take special precaution with this one, so we placed chakra suppressors in the room, he won't be able to use his power to break out of his cage
All and all, it was a good day for the demon country, now if only those incompetent fools from Shadow could become slightly more civilized, then perhaps these situations would have never happened in the first place, but then again, they do make excellent raiders I guess.
END REPORT
"There are two factions within the demon country?" Toshiro said surprised
"Who cares about that right now, does it say where they are?" Itachi asked
"Well it says they are locked up, but the location isn't revealed. However, it has to be in this village, let me see if I can't find a map" he said as he continued to look through the files "Found one, this is a map of the village. We seem to be here, it looks like the main administrative building for the village"
"And the holding cells?" Itachi asked
"here found them, they are in an underground passage. The passage itself is in this building's basement. It's going to be hard sneaking in without being seen" Toshiro told him
"You said this is the main administrative building correct?" Itachi asked
"Yeah…" Toshiro answered him
"Then, I have a plan" Itachi told him
Meanwhile Hiyori and Naruto were still trying to figure out how to escape, Naruto had noticed that he wasn't recovering his chakra "Naruto Sama…" Hiyori said while staring at her feet
"Yeah?" He asked
"I want to thank you... Not only for trying to save us, but you know, for everything" She told him
"What?" He asked confused
"You took a chance with both me and Toshiro, you could have just sent us back with the rest of the night ninjas, but you trusted us. You gave us a home, you allowed us to fight for Konoha. And although I love my native country, I can't say that I miss it… Being a part of Konoha and the Fire country has opened my eyes. Yeah, at first I guess I did it just to be with Toshiro… But now I couldn't be prouder to wear my leaf headband… I just wish that I could wear it one more time" she said as a tear was forming
"Hey, hey, I thought I told you that I would find a way of getting us out of here, so don't cry alright?" Naruto said with a smile
Suddenly a noise caught both their attention, it was moaning, and it was coming from Hamako's cage "Owe.. My head hurts..." She said as she slowly sat up, she looked around and she slowly began to realize that she was in a cage "Where am I? Where is this?! Oh no, we are captured… Oh no… oh no" she began to cry
"Hamako, hey Hamako, calm down, everything is going to be alright" Hiyori told her to try and calm her down
"Hiyori Sensei? They got you too?... Of course they got you… I was the one protecting you… I failed, please forgive me Sensei" Hamako said with tears now freely flowing from her eyes
"Hamako, you didn't fail me, you did a great job. You fought them as hard as you could, they were just too much for you to take on alone, I am proud of you Hamako" Hiyori said with a smile
Hamako slowly began to calm down, that is until she saw the third captive "…HOKAGE SAMA?! THEY GOT YOU TOO? If they were able to capture him, there is no hope… No hope at all…" she began to cry and rocking herself back and forth
"Hey, Hamako, Look, I know things look bleak right now, but I promise you that I will get us all out of here safely, do you hear me Hamako? You should know that I have NEVER broken any promises that I have made, and I will be dammed if I break this one" Naruto said giving her a thumbs up and his trademark grin, but just like Hiyori before him, he had no way of backing up that promise, but he wanted to make her feel better. It was the only thing he could do at the moment "If we don't get out of this… I pray that Sakura gets home safely… I would hate for my baby girl Naoto to grow up as an orphan like I did… Not to mention about our unborn child…" He thought to himself
He heard some voices "Hey, you know you're not supposed to be down here"
"I know, but I please, allow me to talk to him" the voice asked
"Alright, but don't tell your father, he will have my head if he finds out"
A young girl entered the chamber where the cages were suspended "Suzu?" Naruto asked
"Who is Suzu?" Hiyori asked in turn
"Long story… But what are you doing here?" Naruto asked her
"I just wanted to come see you… Before the sacrifice" She answered him "I feel responsible"
"Look Suzu, you didn't do anything wrong, if anything, we did by attacking you and trying to use you, I am the one who should apologies, so… I am sorry Suzu"
"But your actions didn't cause me any harm, now you're going to die" She said sadly
"I seem to remember you stopping your father from killing me on the spot, you saved my life" He told her
"No… The sacrifice is far worst, you would have been better off dying, now you're going to suffer" She said with a tear forming
"Look, I don't want to seem rude, or unsympathetic, but you're a demon ninja, why do you care about what happens to us?" Hiyori asked
"I don't even know who you two are… And I also don't want to be rude by saying that I don't care what happens to you, but… For him, I feel like I should try everything in my power to save him, I don't know why" Suzu said, she was beginning to feel more and more confused, why did she feel such loyalty towards this total stranger, this enemy ninja. Why did she feel that she could risk her life for him?
"It has to be Ino… she is still in there somewhere, but what happened to her? Why wasn't she in control? And would it be right to use this girl once again to his advantage? It could be their only way out. However he felt horrible, they had already used her and caused her so many problems, but he made a promise to Hamako, he also wanted to see Sakura again, if he allowed this chance to slip they could very well be doomed to be sacrificed
End chapter 32
Well that finishes another chapter, How will Tsunade and Nami get along? Who is this sage person? and will Madara be able to defeat her? What is Itachi's plan? And will Naruto really use Suzu to break out by once again trying to influence her? is there anything out there better then Doritos Zesty chips?! the answer is of course NO!
One last thing, I have come to a hard decision, and i have decided to allow you to solve my dilemma, its about Suzu and Ino, i have grown attached to the Suzu char, enough to give her a possible place in the story beyond the demon country plot, however it would only work if i killed off Ino, so here it is, do i kill off Ino to keep Suzu in the story, OR do i save Ino and leave Suzu behind in the demon country, i will not keep both, here are the pros and cons
PROS - For keeping Suzu - New Char to play with, she could bring new powers to the table for me to use and create, she a fun young char to write for
CONS - For keeping Suzu - Ino would be gone, the possible relationship she could have with Shikamaru goes out the door with it, Sakura loses her best friend
I will put a pole up, check out my profile to vote, you can decide, because i cannot make up my mind
