Chapter 7: Orochimaru's experiment
Itachi was awakened by the sound of someone speaking nearby, he tried to open his eyes but something kept his eyes snapped shut. After a few moments Itachi found out that he was completely immobilized. He was in a soft bed, most likely a hospital bed, he heard someone, perhaps a doctor say, "This one's awake, we got strict orders to keep him asleep for at least 2 days, and the other one that was just brought in won't be waking up anytime soon."
Itachi's ears could hear footsteps approaching him, he could do nothing to stop them from injecting him with anesthetic, which made him lose consciousness.
-A Damp Cave near Tsuchi no kuni-
"Orochimaru-sama! I just found out something!" Kabuto called his snake master
"What is it Kabuto? This better be worth my time, I have to find out how to control more than four bodies with Edo Tensei." Orochimaru hissed
"I think I just found out how to do it." Kabuto took a piece of paper and began scribbling something that filled the whole page.
"Interesting Kabuto, I underestimated your scientific prowess, u are the only one of my servants who I would not just throw away." Orochimaru began grinning evilly
"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto walked away, leaving his master in the room.
With this kind of power I can destroy Konoha easily! No, with this kind of power I can do anything I want! I'll revive all the dead, force them to teach me my jutsus, find Sasuke-kun and take his Sharingan, and become the supreme power who rules all of the elemental nations. And I couldn't have done it without Kabuto! He's a miracle pawn!
He was swallowed by the darkness, as he went to experiment with the new notes.
-Uzushiogakure, 12:00pm-
The once Godaime Hokage sighed, she looked at the sky frowning,
"Shizune, I've run out of sake! Go get me some." Tsunade ordered
Shizune frowned, a now 34 year old Shizune told her drunken master to go get it herself. She used to allow herself to be bossed around by her master and usually did all the shopping, but these days she was just tired of it.
"Tsunade-sama, you'll kill yourself if you just keep drinking sake, why don't you try something like tea." Shizune suggested
"Tea? I won't drink tea!" Tsunade smashed her empty bottle, there was a rule against littering, but all the police were scared of Tsunade, so they backed off when she broke the rules.
"I think we should just go home or something, anything that would stop making you drink so much!" Shizune yelled, frustrated, but just then Tsunade passed out from drinking too much. Shizune smiled, knowing that kami had heard her yell.
The Uzukage's office
Naruto, still planning on what he would say at the Suna council which was tomorrow sat on his chair, he wondered what cute little Sasuke was doing at the moment. When he was young, he never thought that Sasuke was so cute when he was a baby, just the glint in his eyes wanted to make him smother the kid. The kyuubi was never calm, he was continuously raging inside his cage, if he didn't rage, he was silent, or sleeping. When Naruto would enter the cage, he would be leered at by the devil fox. What creeped him out was that the fox was actually grinning when he visited him. His peace had to last, and for that he needed alliances, the fate of many things depended on tomorrow. The chuunin exams were quite worthless to him, since the only purpose of the chuunin exams were to show your country's strength, and to make profit, both unnecessary, since he didn't want to show secrets, and his country was already wealthy enough. He could just not have bothered, but it was important for the genin, so he sent them.
Naruto looked at his watch, it said 12:50pm.
I have to get going to Suna, for a normal person at least five days would be necessary, but I've got Hiraishin. Even then I need to get going, I only have 24 hours.
Naruto picked up a backpack and began to put things in it, many things.
What should I pack? I already put in all the essentials, but what I need is more ramen!
X0 bowls of cup ramen later,
Naruto finished his packing and decided to go home for a break, while leaving clones to finish up work.
-Konohagakure, 3:00pm-
"Nara Shikamaru, how long do you think Konohagakure will last if it continues like this?" Danzo asked
"About 9-13 months Hokage-sama" Shikamaru responded
Then I'll have to act fast, we're on our last legs. The other council members have been very unresponsive. Shikaku hasn't thought of any plans to aid us, Inoichi and Choza are just sitting on their asses doing nothing, and I never know what Shibi is thinking. Asuma is probably going desperate, the stupid girl won't keep her trap shut, and the civilians are all begging me to help. The reality is that I can't do a single thing, and with all these resources being spent on the war Konoha is just weakening.
In the Nara Clan house
Shikaku had just returned from his post at war, and was given a week to rest himself. In reality he knew Konoha would not last long and was mostly corrupted by Danzo. So he was planning to leave elsewhere, he didn't want to abandon Konoha at first so he stayed loyal, but hewas tired of his corrupt ROOT ways. He quickly ruled out Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri, Uzu was an unknown factor, and that left Suna.
-Tsuchi no kuni, 3:00pm-
Let's give this a test, if it works no one will be able to stop me! The snake thought evilly
Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Edo Tensei (Summoning Technique: Impure Ressurection)
"Where-where am I?" The white haired man stumbled out of his coffin; he was wearing a black cloak with red clouds.
"Right, last thing I remember is telling a blonde brat who was getting the way, trying to save the weak Nibi that no one disrespects Jashin-sama! Then he used some super blue ball to crush me into powder." The man yelled out. Just then another coffin rose, this one had a man who had green eyes and weird stuff coming out of his mouth, he also had weird masks on his back and long grey hair.
"Where did the blonde go? Someone that powerful was probably worth a lot of money?" The odd man mumbled
"Kakuzu, am I glad to see you. I don't have a clue to what's going on." The Jashin crazed man conversed with his partner
"Hidan, I thought you were finally dead! I saw the blonde blow you to bits, that should've gotten rid of you and your annoying mouth." Kakuzu grunted
"I am immortal Kakuzu, I can't die so no blonde can kill me." Hidan bickered
"I saw you get wiped off the face of the earth, nothing was left besides your pitiful hand, there's no way you managed to survive that."
"Oh yeah, then how am I here right now?!"
Orochimaru, tired of their bickering summoned his third coffin, from his third coffin came a mad blonde bomber.
"Where am I? And why… oh my god! It's Orochimaru!" Deidara tried to move, but he was immobilized in his place.
"What the heck did you do to my body?!" Deidara demanded an answer
Orochimaru, ignoring him summoned the fourth coffin, this coffin had a red haired puppet master, probably the most sane of all the dead Akatsuki members. He came out of his coffin and immediately began staring at Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, you'll pay for what you've done to me, I have no intention of becoming your puppet." Sasori growled
Hidan stared wide-eyed at Sasori and Deidara, he couldn't comprehend with his ant sized brain how they came back to life.
"Of course you can't understand Hidan, you've always been the stupidest. It's one of Orochimaru's techniques called Impure Resurrection, it was originally created by the Nidaime Hokage, but he failed to complete it. While we are in this state, we are like slaves to Orochimaru." Sasori explained
Hidan immediately started yelling at Orochimaru.
"I'm not your slave, Jashin-sama forbids it, I'll never become the slave of a creepy demented pedophilic snake!"
That ticked Orochimaru off, so he made Hidan cut his head off.
"You crazy ass snake! Jashin-sama will have your head!" Hidan shouted maniacally
Orochimaru sighed, it was time to test whether Kabuto's notes worked, he slammed his hand onto the ground and a fifth coffin appeared. That coffin contained the Demon of the Mist. Orochimaru was pleased with Kabutos results as he could control all of them without trouble. Orochimaru decided to put a permanent stop to Akatsuki's plans.
"Go fetch me the one tails, and the two tails, alive, do it quickly." Orochimaru ordered, he made Zabuza collapse into dust because he was unnecessary.
The Zombie Duo and the Art Duo left their separate ways while Orochimaru returned to his cave.
-Kaze no kuni, Desert 8:00pm-
Naruto had teleported to where he left his marked kunai, which was somewhere in the desert, he had left it in one of the rocks, but that rock seemed to have been blown away somehow, because he knew he was nowhere near Suna. He had wandered aimlessly for a an hour or two, looking for Suna, but he was unsuccessful.
"Damn! I knew I should've pinned it to the wall at the front gate." Naruto grumbled
"The only way to do this now is Sage Mode, something I hoped to avoid, because someone might sense my chakra, and I don't really know how to get rid of it. They'll obviously think it's Ero-Sennin, but he's stayed low for the past eight years I really don't want anyone from Konoha finding out who I am just yet, I'm not ready yet." Naruto closed his eyes and stopped all movement, this gathered senjutsu chakra allowing him to enter Sage Mode.
When he entered Sage Mode he tried to sense lifeforms and found his way. When Naruto went to foreign villages for things that have nothing to do with violence he always went alone, that's because he believed that even if he needed backup he bring some backup in a couple of minutes through clones and Hiraishin, so he thought he could use the ninja better in completing their own missions, not escorting him around. He increased his chakra applied to his feet to move much faster, and headed toward the direction of Suna.
When he arrived, the people/kage greeted him, and gave him a hotel room.
-Uzushiogakure, Hospital 11:00pm-
Kisame was still knocked out, blood was being pumped into him, but not enough to make him completely healthy. Itachi's vision was very blurry, he couldn't tell the difference between a chair and a table properly, the chair would appear as a blur, and the table would be a bigger blur. If he saw a human, all the physical features would be blurred out so he couldn't tell between an ally and an enemy. The only thing he could see was the color, since he couldn't tell the shape properly, but he could define what was human and what wasn't.
He closed his eyes and stared into the darkness of his head, he could still feel the pain of killing all of those Uchiha clan members. He still had nightmares of killing his own mother, and father. He couldn't control them, even though he was trained to be emotionless, those dreams kept reminding him of his burden, his guilt. It hurt inside like a poison slowly killing him, slowly, and painfully. He could hear their screams over, and over again. Sasuke was supposed to be the savior of the Uchiha clan, but from what Itachi observed that wouldn't happen anytime soon. The foolish boy stuck to veangence, even though it was clear he could not kill him. He had hoped his foolish little brother had turned strong enough to wipe him out, but when he saw his jonin exam, he was not impressed.
He thought about the people of Konoha as they were now. These people were either arrogant, stubborn, foolish brats like Sasuke, or emotionless killers like Sai. Some of the major clans were getting too arrogant for their own good like the Hyuuga, and the Inuzuka. The Aburame weren't thinking as logically as they had been before. The Ino-Shika-Cho weren't working as effectively as before. Although Konoha failed to notice it, it was all because of the blonde jinchuriki. Konoha suffered big time when their trade was cut, the village wasn't as rich as before, this made all these changes happen.
-Near the border of Kaminari no kuni-
Hidan and Kakuzu were forced to travel all the way to Kaminari no kuni in a mere twelve hours, it would take a normal shinobi at least 5 days, but they were Edo Akatsuki members, they couldn't feel tired and their body didn't need food, so they could move at their fastest all the way to Kumo. They met 3 squads passing the border, the squads could not see them at first, because they were all barely awake, and less aware of their surroundings. Orochimaru kept the Akatsuki members' personalities intact, because he wanted to annoy them. The two stepped into the light of the campfire silently, as Hidan was forced to keep his mouth shut.
The jonin of the squad was awake; she looked at the red clouds on the cloaks of the approaching enemy and immediately panicked. She couldn't evade a strike by Hidan's scythe, and she screamed in pain, alerting all the shinobi around her. Kakuzu wrapped her in his special strings and added her heart to his collection. The genin were extremely scared, they were warned about the Akatsuki, their blood drained from their faces as the scythe wielding Akatsuki pounced on them and quickly erased their existence.
The two other squads heard their screams, and went to aid them, but as soon as they saw the red clouds, they realized they had walked straight into a trap. There was no escape for the genin, so the jonin tried to save themselves, one sacrificed himself to save the other who headed back to Kumo. Unfortunately the Akatsuki were also headed to Kumo, which just about wiped out his chances for survival.
Orochimaru forced the two to stay stealthy when entering Kumo. They subdued the rest of their foes, and interrogated them about the whereabouts of the two tailed jinchuriki, Nii Yugito. As it was about 6:00am in the morning some civilians were awake, as the Akatsuki got nothing out of the ninja they proceeded to the civilians.
"Kakuzu, this is so boring, I thought Orochimaru wanted the jinchuriki dead, why'd he ask him to bring her alive, I mean we did that last time." Hidan whined
"No we didn't, the masked man killed us so we failed, now shut up." Kakuzu responded, as he approached the civilian. He grabbed the man by the throat, and held his hand near the man's mouth, the other hand was causing the most silent pain possible, the man's screams were muffled so nobody came to his aid, and the street was empty. Kakuzu began asking questions, after a minute or two the man cracked
"Y-You mean the demon? S-S-S-She l-lives on top of the smallest mountain, b-but Raikage-sama f-forbids us from going there to kill her, s-s-she's allowed to kill anyone who crosses into her territory. S-She's a really dangerous demon, so w-w-whatever business you have i-i-isn't worth the trouble." He squirmed, and maybe pissed himself.
Kakuzu dropped the man onto the floor, and headed to the mountain.
-The top of Mount Rai, 7:30am-
Yugito had begun her training half an hour ago, when she sensed intruder nearing her house, her inner demon began speaking with fear clearly present in her voice.
"Kitten, run, it's those two from before, you won't stand a chance, even though you can control my power quite well. Go to the Raikage now!" the Nibi warned
Yugito wasn't hesitant, she started towards the Raikage, because she trusted the Nibi. However, it was too late, the Zombie duo had cornered her.
"Hidan, stay back this time, you will only get in my way, my body is truly indestructible now, so she has no chance of winning." Kakuzu whispered
That set Hidan off, he started yelling about how Kakuzu was being stupid, and how he was truly immortal and indestructible, and how Kakuzu should be bowing to Jashin-sama, for being honored with his prescence. Kakuzu was tired so he detached so he bounded Hidan's mouth, and hands with some of his strings, and then cut them off with a kunai.
Onipo: Neko Bunshin (Demon Art: Cat Clone) At least a hundred weaker versions of Yugito were made by that technique; it used demonic chakra instead of her own. The next stage of her plan commenced. The clones began running around Kakuzu, who did absolutely nothing but stand there.
Bunshin Daibakuha (Great Clone Explosion) Every last cat clone ran to Kakuzu and blew up in his face, causing a lot of smoke. Hidan was laughing (muffled laughter as he was gagged), seeing Kakuzu get creamed, but his eyes widened as he regenerated himself in about 30 seconds. There was not a single scratch on him. Yugito's eyes widened, she decided it was impossible to fight him, last time he had hearts, meaning lives. That explosion should've taken care of all of them, but it failed to. She blew a lot of demonic chakra on the clones, and the explosion, she had to escape somehow, but how?
She looked to the sky as if Kami would give her the answer, when a light lit up in her head. Ninjutsu was useless, taijutsu was useless, but what about genjutsu? Kakuzu took advantage of the distraction, and wrapped her in his slimy threads, they squeezed her neck harder, and harder. She couldn't make handseals, and she couldn't rip the threads, which left her with one option, she couldn't believe she didn't think of it before. She closed her eyes, and bluish, but demonic chakra formed around her, it immediately burned all the threads. She knew this would work, the Raikage would come, because he would feel the demonic chakra. Kakuzu was given more hearts by Orochimaru, one wind, one fire, one water, one lava, and one earth. They came out of his back as black masses with masks, Kakuzu prepared a huge combination attack, and freed Hidan, he grabbed Hidan's body, and forced him in front of Yugito's incoming attack.
Katon: Neppu (Fire Release: Heat Wave) A huge blast of fire shot out from Yugito, who was in her 1 tailed state blew up Hidan, but since Kakuzu, and his masks were hiding behind Hidan no damage was taken to Kakuzu's mask.
"Kakuzu! You're lucky I didn't feel any pain or I'D SACRIFICE YOUR HEAD TO JASHIN-SAMA!" Hidan yelled angrily.
They can't feel pain either, what happened to their bodies? And their eyes, their eyes are black and white the iris is white while the sclera is black, they have no pupils. I have to hold out. Yugito thought worriedly, she started shifting into her two tailed state, her bijuuwas friendly enough not to break out and kill her, but she could only stay in this state for five minutes before passing out. Kakuzu and all his masks spread out, surrounding the two tailed jinchuriki.
The first mask opened its mouth: Futon: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough) The second mask opened its mouth: Katon: Endan (Fire Release: Flame Bullet) The third mask opened its mouth: Suiton: Suiryudan (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet)
The fourth mask opened its mouth: Yoton: Yogan Katamari (Lava Release: Lava Globs) The fifth mask opened its mouth and made a structure surrounding the Nibi jinchuriki with 4 holes to ensure the jinchuriki couldn't move, and all the attacks would hit, it could be crushed, but it would take more than one hit. There wasn't enough time, all the jutsus hit her hard.
Meanwhile with the Raikage
I can't lose my jinchuriki a second time, I need to move faster. He powered up his lightning armor and moved toward the mountain.
Back with Yugito
Kakuzu moved swiftly, he grabbed the jinchuriki, who was barely alive, suffering fourth degree burns on her legs, arms, and hands. the wind and water attacks were almost harmless thanks to the Nibi's chakra, but the water one affected her stomach, making her cough up blood, the fire jutsu hurt her a lot, but the lava one was the worst. her arms were charred black, and several places on her legs were as well, the force of all of these attacks made her hit her head hard, which made her unconscious. Of course that wasn't the end, because Hidan made sure she was out by using his scythe to cut across her body, affecting her lungs, and liver. Kakuzu rushed out of Kumo just in time, because the Raikage had just arrived on to the mountain when he left the gates. The Raikage, frustrated he lost his jinchuriki a second time, and sent twelve teams from Kuno to search for the Akatsuki.
-Sunagakure, Council Chambers 8:00am-
"This meeting shall commence now!" The Council member yelled
"I'm afraid that the meeting will have to wait, I feel a presence heading straight towards us, more specifically, heading straight towards Kazekage-sama." Naruto's glance shifted to Gaara who was at the other end of the room. Gaara was immediately alerted, and began looking behind him. A couple of bangs were heard, before Naruto got up.
"We have a hostile heading straight for Kazekage-sama, he's coming up right behind him." Gaara's sand reacted instantaneously; it lifted him up to the sky, through a big window to face his pursuers, a blonde ad a redhead. The blonde kept dropping clay bombs on Sunagakure, an unforgivable act in Gaara's opinion. The sand instantly covered the bombs which blew up on it. Gaara took some extra sand from the desert and used it to wrap the bird the Akatsuki members were traveling in, he crushed it with the sand, forcing Deidara to make another bird. He made some clay mosquitos, and directed them to Gaara's eyes aiming to make him at least partially blind. Gaara's sand wall blocked them, and blew them up. All this time Sasori had been trying to attach chakra strings to Gaara, it was quite difficult, but not impossible, he finally got one to his leg, and forced him to slip, while Deidara made lots, and lots of clay mosquitos, before that he formed hand seals.
Doton: Tsuchi Yari (Earth Release: Earth Spear) A long spear hit Gaara, which made his sand shield protect him, but just then all the mosquitos came, the sand shield couldn't form back fast enough, Gaara knew he was in big trouble.
Raiton: Rai Hari (Lightning Release: Lightning Needles) Around the 100 needles shot from Naruto's hand and pierced the mosquitos, disabling them. Gaara looked back, and smiled at the masked kage who gave him a wink. Naruto was of course confused that Deidara, and Sasori were back from the dead, but knew they were up to no good. Gaara's sand lashed out viciously at Deidara, and caught his hand, and eventually his whole body.
Sabaku Kyuu (Sand Burial) The sand crushed Deidara, everyone expected the sand around him to turn red, but instead they saw pieces of Deidara reform, until he was whole again, Naruto finally understood what was going on, Orochimaru had somehow gotten hold of their DNA and resurrected them.
"Kazekage-sama, I need you to lift me to them." Naruto spoke in a formal tone
"Very well, Uzukage-sama" Gaara's sand lifted Naruto to Deidara's bird. Sasori got out his puppet, the Sandaime Kazekage, the whole council was surprised at this, but frowned in disgust when they saw what Sasori had done to him.
Satetsu Shigure (Iron Sand Drizzle) Pieces of iron sand hidden in Suna's sand rose up, and shot out at the two Kages. Gaara's sand rose to do the sand drizzle technique, but Naruto had a better idea, however he needed a distraction.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) 5 clones were made, who defended Gaara, and the council, by doing a defense technique
Dairai no Tate (Great Lightning Shield) The iron sand couldn't penetrate the shield, and fell to the ground. The Sandaime Kazekage prepared for another round of iron sand drizzle, and Deidara prepared some c4 to blow up the Kazekage's tower, but they never got the chance, Naruto, in Sage Mode jumped on to the bird, he stuck a hiraishin kunai on it, and began to fight, he blew the Sandaime to pieces with a single punch, but his job wasn't over, a rasengan began forming in his right hand, that rasengan had a shurikan like structure that kept expanding. Wind chakra was being added to it, it made a weird high pitched sound.
Futon: Rasenshuriken (Wind Release: Spiralling Shuriken) The huge shuriken flew and decimated Sasori completely, until he reformed, which was far quicker then Naruto expected so he couldn't seal him off. Luckily he also decimated all of the scrolls containing puppets so Sasori was useless. At least that was what Naruto thought, when he surprisingly took off his shirt, and held out his hands which spewed out intense flames, Naruto who was caught off guard took a small bit of the burning to the face, but luckily it was nothing serious, because Kurama made the burn dissolve as if nothing ever existed. His main problem was that some part of his whisker marks were showing.
What the hell! He turned himself into a puppet! Naruto had no time to go deeper into his thoughts, because Deidara started throwing clay bombs at him.
"Art is a bang! KATSU!" Deidara yelled, Naruto emerged form the smoke cloud unharmed. Deidara's eyes widened as Naruto grabbed a kunai with a seal on it, and proceeded to stab it into his chest, but Sasori's blades that were attached to his arms came through for Deidara just in time to block the slash.
"Deidara, I want more clay birds." Sasori ordered, Deidara nodded and went straight to work. Sasori took out a scroll from his back and opened it, large streams of fire were continuously expelled from it, making it similar to a flamethrower. Naruto jumped in the air and made a clone, right before Sasori aimed his scroll upwards, the clone threw him down, while he took out a hiraishin kunai and went straight for his 'heart'. At the last moment Deidara pulled Sasori out of the way, making Naruto miss, and almost making him fall off the bird. There were about 10 birds, all flying around the tower, Deidara tried to kill some council members, but Gaara blocked him with his sand. Meanwhile, many shinobi gathered around the tower to see the fight, this was a bad thing, because Deidara could freely drop bombs around people easily, and Gaara would have to save them.
"Damn it, my sage chakra is running low." Naruto muttered under his breath, he wrote a note while avoiding Sasori, and Deidara's continuous attacks, and attached it to a kunai, and then he threw it at Gaara. Gaara picked up the kunai, and read the note.
When I throw my chakra shuriken, wrap the area the opponent is in and keep it wrapped.
Naruto's chakra shuriken covered his hand once again, he charged at Deidara.
Futon: Rasenshuriken (Wind Release: Spiralling Shuriken) Gaara's sand followed close behind the shuriken, Deidara was unable to dodge the shuriken as two of Naruto's clones held him in having two rasenshurikens onboard, the bird was destroyed, Naruto was caught by Gaara's sand, while Sasori jumped to one of the other nine, who grouped together. Gaara winked at Naruto, who responded by giving him a thumbs up. The wrapped Deidara stayed in the same place, Naruto, while walking on Gaara's sand started making a storage seal, he stored Deidara in the seal, and then completely smudged up the ink, leaving him trapped in the scroll.
Sasori took out one of his scrolls on his back, he rolled it open, part of his body opened up, and 100 chakra strings came out, they pulled 100 puppets out of his scroll. The bird he was on went towards the tower, Sasori's arm blew a hole into the tower with his flamethrower, the puppets went for the council members. Sasori's eyes widened when he saw hiraishin kunai fly everywhere, the council members were gone.
"Minato Namikaze?" Sasori stumbled back, confused. The council members disappeared in an instant, Naruto stood ready to face his puppets. Gaara floated down to the council chambers. Sasori began to doubt himself
If this man really is the Yellow Flash, I stand no chance, my chances of winning are 2/100. Even with an impenetrable body.
Naruto threw a Hiraishin kunai right behind Sasori, and hit him with a rasengan at point blank, the sphere drilled into his body. Naruto made a clone and cut through all the chakra strings Sasori had with a simple kunai while Sasori reformed.
Rasengan (Spiralling sphere) The sphere hit Sasori once again, and Naruto pierced him with his special kunai which sealed the person away in a storage seal. He smudged the ink, and Sasori was gone, erased from the elemental nations. The council members were very curious about how they were saved.
"Was that hiraishin?" Baki asked Naruto when they were all safely back in the council chambers.
"No, it was natural speed, and Kazekage-sama helped me by protecting you with his sand while I moved and got you out, then I used a powerful seal which allows me to rip a whole into another dimension, and rip another hole out of that dimension, so you ended up down there." Naruto lied, it was a foolish lie, but the council members believed it when he removed his weight seals and moved around. Naruto sighed a bit, because it was time for the politics. Naruto began,
"What do you have to gain from Konoha, besides revenge against Orochimaru?" Naruto asked
"We have their support if war ever comes to Suna, if we aid them it might pay off in the future." One council member said
"We have their protection, they send three squads monthly to help us, and they were quick in sending help for our Kazekage 4 years ago." Another council member said, that was true, but Naruto got to him and defeated Sasori, and Deidara, before the squads were within 10,000 feet of Suna.
"We were promised that once Konoha gets on its feet we would get what we gave them during this war, and more." One of the council members said, Naruto could detect a greedy glint in his eyes.
"Konoha has drawbacks as well, in this war I believe you have lost at least 3000 out of your 9000 shinobi. Losing 1/3 of one's shinobi force is not to be taken lightly, as well as the fact that Konoha has been eating away at your resources, while giving nothing in return. And if Konoha is attacked by a major power like Kumo directly, how much do you think you'll lose? My country however is not in danger of being attacked very soon, and will not take any of your resources, however I will replace your lost resources, and send you 2 squads a month, as well as aid you if you are in trouble." Naruto said
The council members thought about for a while, they would be getting things while the other side gets nothing from them, it seemed fair.
"The only thing I ask from you is information, for example, what was this about giving more than it has taken. So who is in favor of making an alliance with Uzu no kuni." Naruto spoke, there were thirteen council members (including Kazekage) they all gave their decision.
"No"
"Yes"
"Yes"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes
"Yes"
"No"
"No"
"No"
"Yes"
"Yes"
"No"
"Then it is decided, an alliance between Suna, and Uzu is formed." Gaara spoke with authority
"Good now what will Konoha give to you that they did not take?" Naruto asked, Gaara quickly spoke up
"A girl with a bloodline limit, the byakugan, her name is Hyuuga Hinata." Naruto had a disgusted look on his face, Hinata agreed to this? Most likely not, it must be some kind of plan to regain control of the Hyuuga clan, who were becoming borderline defectors, and their loyalty was becoming questionable.
"I voted against it, because I do not trust Danzo, but I was overruled." Gaara added
"When is she going to come to Suna?" Naruto asked
"The day after tomorrow" Gaara replied
"That is all I wanted to ask, I must leave now, I have left my country for far too long, and it is not wise to leave one's country for long if you are a kage, especially an unknown one." Naruto informed the council, and he was escorted out of the village. Once he was out he
hiraishined back to Uzushiogakure with ease.
-Uzushiogakure 12:00pm-
"How did it go?" A certain female ice user asked, suspicious of the blonde kage's whereabouts.
"It went pretty well, but I was attacked when the meeting started by Deidara and Sasori."
Naruto replied in a calm tone
"I thought you killed them, then what we suspect is true, Orochimaru is collecting bodies and reviving them, most likely powerful shinobi. You know what this means right? With that kind of power, I doubt Orochimaru would only target Konoha, it's a weak village so if he can revive one SS rank and a few S ranks it's done for. Konoha doesn't have any proper guards or anything so I'm sure you know where you're headed next." The ice user responded back. Haku had been among the first of Naruto's friends in Uzu, it was discovered that Haku did not really die 8 years ago; she was put in a comatose state, because Kakashi's chidori had just missed her heart, and struck her between her heart and her lung. No one had bothered to check her pulse, except in the aftermath of the battle, when Team 7 was already gone. She was kept in bed, until Naruto came back to Land of Waves with the two Sannin, and his sensei.
With Tsunade on the job she recovered in about 4 months, because there was lots of internal bleeding. Tsunade herself said it was a downright miracle she survived, of course at the beginning all Haku did was mourn Zabuza, but with Naruto's positive influence she managed to see that there was more to life than being an emotionless tool.
Some people from the leaf defected, he welcomed them with open arms actually, and he wanted to show people that he would accept people regardless of the place they came from as long as they were good people who weren't against him for no good reason, and they weren't being tracked down by hunter nins or something like that. He would search their memories with his almighty mind technique that was based off a Yamanka one. He taught this technique to his IC (Information and Communication) staff so he wouldn't always be needed. Of course a seal had to be applied to ensure they don't go rogue and spill secrets. It was harsh, but had to be done. One of such people to go through with this process was Anko, she came when Naruto was around 18, because she was sick of Danzo. Her boss Ibiki didn't come because he didn't care who was pulling the strings as long as he had someone to hurt, and money to gain.
"You know, he may have already stolen your parent's bodies by now, and he might already know you're the Uzukage now. Orochimaru is actually smart, not dumb like the majority is, he'd get you to slip while fighting using your parents and kill you." Haku reminded the clueless blonde, she couldn't blame him, she knew he had a shitload on his mind, but what she just said was very important. And yes all Naruto's friends/close friends knew his secrets.
"Oh shit, I gotta go, thanks for the reminder." Naruto parted with those words, and disappeared into thin air.
-Konohagakure: 2:00pm-
Naruto moved as fast as he could without being undetected, heading for the burial places of the Yondaime, and his wife. He used his invisibility genjutsu to get past the guards, and ran towards the resting place of his mother, and father, he didn't care how he got there, and all he cared about was getting there, hopefully before Orochimaru got there, or even thought of the idea. He refused to allow anyone to desecrate his parent's tomb, yet now he would have to do what he wanted to avoid. The tomb was in a temple inside the Fourth's head in the Hokage Monument. The entrance was through the nose, the Yondaime and his wife had no funeral, they were buried secretly, his father didn't want his body to be used for edo tensei neither did his wife. There was a tombstone in a one of the few still nice parts of Konoha, it was where the Hokage was mourned, but no bodies were under it.
Naruto reached the Hokage Monument in almost no time flat; he walked up the huge mountain wall up to the Yondaime's head. He went inside the nose, the entrance was lit dimly, and there was a seal on it, Naruto unlocked the seal to open the huge almost indestructible door of adamantine. What he saw was not what he expected; there were only five people who currently are living that actually knew their resting place. Those people were Jiraiya, Tsunade, himself, Kakashi, and his old teammate Rin who was presumed deceased until now. The brown haired woman was kneeling down, she put some ornaments on his parents' tombs, but she was shocked when she felt the tombs were lighter than usual, she opened them to see they were completely empty. Naruto came just then, he looked at the girl with purple markings, and saw her as a threat at first sight since his parents' tombs were empty, but then he registered her as Rin from his photos, and data he collected, he didn't see her as an immediate threat but he couldn't be sure as ninja are masters of deception.
I need to be sure, so I'll have to take a few forceful measures.
"Step away from those tombs now!" Naruto yelled, drawing his swords
Rin turned around as if she was stung by a wasp, she expected the seals to be enough to force anyone out.
"What's your name? And what are you doing with my father's tomb?!" Naruto shouted as if he was angry, he just wanted to get information in reality
"I am Sarusui Hibe, I was walking up the hill when I found something strange inside the Yondaime's nose, I am sorry if this is where our Yondaime rests. I will leave now." Rin lied, all while not looking at Naruto, so she couldn't see that he was wearing whirlpool not leaf.
"I see no reason for you to lie Rin-san, you shouldn't use stupid aliases to cover up your name in situations like this. You should've analyzed me before to see that I am wearing the whirlpool not leaf, no one knows this is the true burial site of the Yondaime except a select few, and you were skilled enough to disable the seal on the wall meaning you had to be decent at seals at the very least. People in Konoha no longer have even decent seals anymore, because they believe it to be a useless art." Naruto stated clearly
"What about Jiraiya-sama?" Rin asked curiously
"You must not be up to date with shinobi villages Rin-san, we should leave this manky cave so I can tell you more, but first I need to figure out who took my parent's skeletons." Naruto replied, he glanced around every corner, and then felt a disruption in the space time barrier.
I know that if there is a disruption in the space time barrier that big someone else is using space time ninjutsu nearby.
"I need to do something, I'll be back as soon as I can." Naruto told the still curious Rin, who just set aside her curiosity for a while.
Naruto warped into the space time dimension, but when he tried to teleport back to Konoha he saw a vortex, and decided to jump right into it. This was dangerous, because straying from the space time dimension was dangerous, since if you weren't at least at Jiraiya's level of seals you would be stuck in there forever.
Naruto was pushed out of the whole and fell flat on his face, he looked up, only to see a dark cloak, in front of him, with red clouds. He stared into the single hole the figure had in his mask.
"YOU!"
I'm back and here to stay for at least two months or so, before I start shitting on my ff again. Haku is a girl, because honestly I had the first impression he was a girl, and he looks so girly I just couldn't stand it. Kabuto genius got Oro the results he needed so now he can march around with an army of undead, if you read my previous chapters You know Naruto's effort was pointless because Oro already has enough DNA, so Tobi's appearance doesn't affect his plans to revive Kushina and Minato. Read Chapter 6. Ok, yes Orochimaru is nothing without Kabuto, that I agree with.
That's it
