Chapter 4
(Konoha one whole day later)
At the Hokage Tower.
"Well what could you get from your dogs Tsume?" Asked Minato.
"Well we followed the scent of Naruto as it ended near an alleyway." She explained as he nodded waiting for her to continue about the stranger who Naruto gone with.
"And?" He said
"As for the stranger.. the moment the dogs sniffed the scent the dogs became spooked all of a sudden and whimpered, I don't know what could have frightened them like that." Tsume said with Minato now raising a brow her dogs are afraid of something that took Naruto? Just what it is they are afraid of.
"I see. Thank you for your help." Said Minato seeing her walk off as he sighed.
"I take it you heard that Jiraiya-sensei." Minato says with his sensei appearing out the window
"Yes.. hard to believe Tsume's dogs would be afraid of who ever took Naruto." The Toad sage pondered
"You think we should ask for the toads for guidance?" Minato asked with Jiraiya nodding
"I suppose it won't hurt to ask them. Maybe they could shed some light on the situation of our culprit and know who she is. And the fact that she could teleport." Said Jiraiya now summoning Ma and Pa in the office.
"What seems to be the problem Jiraiya-boy and Minato-boy." Said Pa looking at both of them.
"Ma and Pa we need your help. My son Naruto had ran away... and ran away with some tall woman." Minato said with both frowning
"He ran away? What did you do?" Accused Ma with a glare as both men flinched.
"Well we... we have been focusing on Menma and Naruko's training and never trained Naruto." Jiraiya answered with both now glaring at him.
"So you neglected your own tadpole!" Growled Pa with anger on his face
"Pa and Ma it wasn't like-" Minato says but Pa slammed his cane on the ground
"Don't lie to us Minato-boy! Because every time Jiraiya mouths off about Menma not once did we hear him say anything about Naruto! And we suspected something was wrong! How could you two focus on your other two tadpoles and not your first one!" Yelled Pa looking ready to beat them.
"Because of the prophecy the great toad elder foretold. That a great evil from the west will come and change the fate of the Shinobi world. I believed that Naruko and Menma are also in the mix of this so we decided to train them how to harness their Kyuubi chakra." Jiraiya explained with both the toads looking more angrier
"And you both thought it was okay to just cast Naruto-boy to the side and focus your full attention on both of them!" Yelled Ma with them looking away
"We planned to train him someday it's just that Menma and Naruko are our top priority and that we should prepare them against this great evil." Said Minato flinching from the looks both toads sent him.
"And pray tell us who did Naruto-boy ran off with? Since we could tell he felt like he wasn't as important as his siblings. We are so disappointed in both of you! You can forget having Menma sign our contract!" Said Pa with both of them looking shocked.
"What? Why? I had promised Menma that I would take him as a apprentice and teach him the way of the toads!" Jiraiya asked looking shocked
"Because that boy isn't worthy of being taught and trained by us! He's clearly arrogant! Naruto deserves to learn from us! But you idiots destroyed that by making him run away! Now tell us who is this stranger he ran off with! Surely you know who the culprit is?!" Shouted Ma
"He ran off with some tall woman... from what Hitomi's daughter mentioned, she was very tall, pale skin, she wore a straw hat and a white morning dress and some sandals and long black hair." Jiraiya had answered as both toads who listened suddenly lost color on their skin hearing the description of who that culprit was and had looks of fear.
"He went with her!" Said Pa with wide eyes full of fear
Minato and Jiraiya noticed how fearful both toads were.
"Her? Do you know who she is?" Asked Jiraiya
"Of course we know who this is! And she's not someone we should cross or anger! She was supposed to be imprisoned!" Said Ma who was trembling in fear of who this woman was who Naruto went with.
"Who is she? And why do you both fear her so much?" Asked Minato who was surprised by this
"She's a Demon... a Monster... a killer of children!" Exclaimed Pa
Both men looked taken back by this.
"Who are you talking about?" Asked Jiraiya as both toads looked at them with fear still on their faces.
"We are talking about Hachishaku-sama... the 8 feet tall woman.. she is something you both know very little about." Answered Pa
"And you say she kills children?" Asked Minato with a edge of fear hoping this woman doesn't target his other two children.
"She does... rumor has it that when you are liked by Hachishaku-sama you are destined to die in a few days... by her hands and she won't stop at nothing until she gets what she wants." Said Ma with fear in her voice
"So you think it's possible that she killed Naruto?" Asked Jiraiya as both shook their heads.
"We do not know... it's possible but we don't know what are her intentions with Naruto-boy. Never thought she would come from the west to take Him. " Pa says
"Your saying that as if she's been here to the East before?" Said Jiraiya
"She's been to the east here, in the elemental nations. She was here when the era of the sage of the six paths was present and rumored to be seen in the first and second Shinobi war kidnapping and killing many young victims." Explained Pa
"So how do we get Naruto back from her?" Asked Minato
"That is a bad sign. Taking away someone she likes will lead to bloodshed." Said Ma
"Well can't we have your assistance in getting him back from her?" Asked Jiraiya
"No." They both said in unison shocking both men.
"Why?!" Shouted Minato
"We can't be involved. She can send her spirit form into the summoning realm." Said Ma
"Do not provoke her... she's not someone you want to anger. Please heed our warnings we must bring this up with the entire summons in the summoning realm that she has returned." Said Pa
"Hey wait! We need your help!" Pleaded Minato
"I'm afraid we cannot help you. This is out of our hands, just heed our warning because if not Hachishaku-sama will kill you all, she's not just a child killer, but a bringer of death." Said Ma as both of them vanished leaving the two stunned
"What do we do?" Asked Minato
"We must tell Kushina along with Tsunade they need to know this.. and we must pay very close attention on Menma and Naruko, she might just target them next." Jiraiya says
( Inunaki Village)
Naruto wakes up and smells food being cooked. He noticed he was in a house meaning Hachishaku-sama found a place.
He found her in the kitchen cooking pork ramen since she had leave the village to hunt a boar and bring water and the ingredients to cook ramen.
"Ara. Your up Naru-kun." She said with him coming towards her sitting on a chair as she brought him his bowl of ramen.
He smiled and started eating as she sat by him eating hers.
"So where are we Hachi-Chan?" He asked
"We found our own village Naru-kun. We both own it and we will be living here for eternity." She explained
"Awesome! So I can be my own Kage!" He said with a smile
"Exactly. And when we get the chance, I'm going to make you as special as your siblings that I promised you." She said with him beaming at that.
"I can hardly wait!" He said beamed
To be continued
An: There we go. In the me chapter we get the reactions of his siblings.
Until next time!
