Kale's POV
"We'll continue working with the other countries on the threat of Akatsuki." The old man advisor said "The Akatsuki member Deidara has agreed to give us any information he has."
"He said at the current count he only knows of three members remaining, Kisame, Zetsu and Tobi." I sighed.
"After what has happened the Land of Fire will put every effort into rebuilding the village." The Feudal lords representatives said.
"There's something else we need to consider." Danzo chimed in "Who will be the next Hokage."
"Irrelevant." I said "Tsunade just needs time to recover."
I won't let him have his way.
"She's in a coma." The old woman advisor said "We can't formulate a plan if we don't know when she'll wake, besides she's partially responsible for the destruction."
"I would have liked to choose Jiraiya." The Feudal Lord said "But he's gone. Who would it be."
"Well-." Danzo started but was cut off.
"I nominate Kakashi Hatake!" Shikamaru's dad said.
"I second!" I raised my hand quickly.
"The son of the White Fang." The Lord said "Why not, what do the rest of you think?"
"He's well known and respected."
"Isn't' he a tad young?"
"Minato was younger." An advisor pointed out.
"Who was his teacher?" an aid asked.
"The Fourth Hokage."
"The Fourth was a pupil of Jiraiya, and Jiraiya a pupil of the third." The Lord said "I see no problem."
"The Teachings of the Third have destroyed this village!" Danzo yelled "The leader of Akatsuki was a student of Jiraiya, and by sympathizing with other countries they were given power. This thinking is weak! This is what led to the Sand's betray, and almost allowed Orochimaru to destroy Konoha, those teaching led to Akatsuki and the last Uchiha leaving the village."
"You're grasping at straws!" I yelled "He's fear mongering you all into siding with him!"
"Silence boy!" he yelled "You're far too young to add to this discussion."
"You-!" I got ready to yell before Shikamaru's dad made me sit down.
"Wait for your moment." He whispered.
"We need a Hokage who can change the world and govern us!" Danzo said "The man we need is me!"
"It's decided!" the Lord said "Danzo will be 6th Hokage."
"This is crap." I hissed stomping out "I won't let this stand you old warmonger, the second Tsunade wakes up your finished!"
"I have one order to start now." Danzo said "Dispose of the Missing Ninja Sasuke Uchiha."
I shot him a glare "I have a request."
I understand what you meant now…
"Hmm?" the Feudal Lord looked at me.
"A message arrived calling for a meeting of the Five Kages." I said "Each Kage is allowed two bodyguards, I demanded to be placed as one of Danzo's bodyguards."
"I second his request." Shikamaru dad nodded "Kale is already strong enough and will allow opponents of this decisions to feel calm that someone Lady Tsunade trusted is close to the situation."
"That seems reasonable" the Lord nodded "Very well Kale Magonius will accompany Danzo to the Five Kages summit."
Later
"Hey!" I walked up to Sakura, Naruto, Fu and Sensei "I've got news."
"You had a meeting right?" Sakura asked "What happened."
"They made Danzo Hokage." I said.
"That's not good." Sensei said.
"Shikamaru's dad and I tried to fight the selection but we weren't enough to swing it." I said "Danzo's already given his first order…to eliminate Sasuke.'
"What the hell does that mean?!" Naruto yelled.
"It's not a surprise they won't wait for Tsunade." Kakashi nodded "And Sasuke is a missing ninja so this is standard protocol."
"I'm going down there." Sakura yelled.
"I'm going too."
"It's useless." I said "Besides I've already gotten myself into position to keep my eye on him, you guys leave it to me okay. Trust me on this."
Later
"What can you tell us about Danzo?" Naturo asked Sai.
"Nothing." Sai shook his head.
"But-."
"No." Sai cut Sakura off "I cannot speak about Danzo, it is impossible for me to do so. Sai.
"Nothing." Sai shook his head.
"But-."
"No." Sai cut Sakura off "I cannot speak about Danzo, it is impossible for me to do so."
Sai stuck out his tongue.
"That's a complex seal." I said "It would take me days to break."
"If I attempt to speak about Danzo this seal will paralyze my body." Sai said "All members of the ROOT Foundation have these."
"Talk about going the extra mile for a secret." Fu laughed.
"Danzo and ROOT have done many things to protect this village from the shadows." Sai said "so the seal is to make sure no information leaks out. You may not like the methods but he does care about this village."
"He's planning to kill Sasuke!" Sakura yelled "What about Tsunade's promise?"
"I…hadn't heard that." Sai blinked.
"Not gonna lie the kid kinda deserves it." A voice said.
"Deidara?" I looked up "How'd you get out."
"I told them what I knew…I'm allowed to wander under supervision, there's a bunch of your ANBU in the trees. That Sasuke kid is crazy Mhm. He tried to kill me…and you."
Our conversation was suddenly cut in half by a sword, literally a sword cut the air between all of us.
"Tell me everything you know about Sasuke." A girl with dark skin and red hair demanded "Since it seems like he's your friend."
Ninjas from the Village Hidden in the Clouds?
"He ain't my buddy." Deidara backed up.
Naruto, Sai and I looked at each other before Sai drew his sword as the girl's weapon was swatted up my Naruto. A boy joined the fight but Naruto blocked him while the Girl spun over his back.
"Got it!" I grabbed her sword with two hands "Sai!"
"HMM!" Sai pulled his foot back to kick while Sakura ran in for a punch and Fu shot silk.
The boy dashed and kicked Sakura away while the girl flicked her wrist and knocked me off balance and sliced apart Fu's silk.
"What are you doing?!" Naruto yelled helping Sakura.
"Ninjas from the clouds." Sakura said "Why are they here?"
"You were talking about Sasuke." The boy said "Tell us about him."
"What does he have to do with you Mhm?" Deidara asked.
"Everything he attacked our village!"
"Huh?"
"Oh~" Deidara smiled "He's been busy Mhm."
"Sasuke Uchiha took our master, we don't know if he's alive or dead." The girl yelled.
"Why would Sasuke do that?" Sakura asked.
"How should we know what Akatsuki wants?" the boy said.
"Ehh?" Deidara hummed "What are you talking about?"
"Sasuke." The boy said "He's a member of Akatsuki."
"Deidara." I glared.
"Not last time I check." The blonde shrugged "Or at least not while I was there."
"Raikage sent us here because you let a missing ninja roam free and look what happened!" the boy said "We have permission to kill him, right from the Hokage."
Sasuke…
"What is Sasuke to you anyway?" the girl asked.
"Sakura…" Fu hugged the girl as she started crying.
"What are you crying for?! The girl asked "You're crying won't bring back Killer Bee or Yugito."
Deidara sighed "We sealed Two months ago, she's long gone."
"RAH!"
Deidara leaned back to avoid the sword "It wasn't me, I only helped with the extraction, Hidan and Kakuzu captured her…but their dead so no revenge for you."
"If it's information you want I'm sure the village will provide it." Sai told them "There is no need to pressure us for it."
"Our leader is being briefed." The girl said "We're just trying to find a little more."
"We don't know where our master is." The boy said "You can't understand how we feel."
"Is your master a Jinchuriki?" Naruto asked.
"How did you know?" the boy asked.
"Naruto and Fu are hosts too." The girl smiled "Akatsuki is after the hosts."
"They'll want him alive." Deidara told them "And since the extraction takes longer the fewer people involved it's gonna be a while before they finish with Eight."
"Stop wasting time on Sasuke and go save your friend." I said.
"I'll tell you what I know." Naruto said.
"Why don't we chat about Sasuke while you're at it." The girl smirked.
"Naruto…" Sakura worried.
"I'll handle this." He said.
"Well good luck." I said "I've got guard duty."
Later
I was stuck guarding Danzo with some goggled guy named Torune, he was handpicked from Danzo's private force. We were going to the Land of Iron, home of the Samurai.
Along the way I had to deal with a few assassins, I did my job like a good boy and took them out. It didn't take me long to know Danzo had a third guard trailing us…I had my guard up for would be assassins.
Soon the air got colder, and then we were in the Land of Iron.
"Welcome to the Land of Iron." A man introduced himself "I am Mifune."
The Land of Iron…maybe I can pick up some metal staves here?
