Chapter 16 The search begins
In a dark cave miles away from where Itachi and Kisame were first at nine projections soon appeared. These nine figures were the members of the Akatsuki.
Pain, Konan, Sasori, Deidera, Kakuzu, Hidan, Zetsu, Itachi and Kisame.
"Itachi did you manage to capture the nine tails?" Pain asked.
"No, we ran into an unexpected foe before we could grab her along with Jiraiya getting in the way." Itachi said.
"Unexpected foe?" Pain asked.
"That half god got in our way before we could make the grab. He's a lot stronger than the rumors say." Kisame said.
"Hmph! Half god my ass. I call him a liar!" Hidan said.
"I wouldn't shrug this off Hidan." Pain said.
"What! Don't tell me your all buying this nonsense as well. The only god that exists is Jashin!" Hidan yelled.
"During the Chunin exams he displayed a great amount of power that should be impossible. Plus he has those five Spirits sealed inside him." Itachi said.
"So what? Not like we're going after him." Deidera said.
"Actually we are." Konan said surprising them all.
"The powers of a foreign god are to good an opportunity to pass up. Plus those five Spirits are at the top of the food chain in the Spirit world. Out of all of them those five control the Spirit world with a combined iron fist." Pain said.
"But the question is how to capture him. He was able to go against Itachi and Kisame with ease." Sasori said.
"I had to hold back since my powers were weakened from my fight with Kakashi. Next time I'll be more than ready to face him." Itachi said.
"I'm looking forward to the bounty he has on his head." Kakuzu said.
"Of course you would. The second I see him I'll show him the might of Jashin and show how insignificant his gods are." Hidan said.
"No, you will not. Leave the Demigod to me and me alone." Pain said in a no argument tone making him grumble.
"What about the other three? Reznov, Julia and the brat Turok?" Kisame asked.
"The younger brother is known to be a spiritual fighter of the animal spirits. From what we could gather his grandfather annihilated the country known as the United states by recreating the land to its natural state before the British colonized the land." Pain said.
"Thats some power." Zetsu said.
"Indeed. However his grandfather and his entire tribe were killed during the ritual. His adopted older brother found him 8 years later when he was 13 and he was 8." Pain said.
"And what about the other two?" Sasori asked.
"Reznov and Julia also contain high level spirits sealed inside them." Pain said.
"Are there any others who contain high level spirits?" Konan asked.
"None that are currently in the ninja lands. If we get a chance to capture them then we will. In the meantime stay out of sight and gather intel." Pain said as they all vanished.
Itachi and Kisame opened their eyes before standing up.
"I'm looking forward to fighting that half god when we see each other again." Kisame said grinning like the shark he was.
'I'm afraid you'd lose that fight Kisame.' Itachi thought.
Meanwhile
Jiraiya had stopped the train Naruko on a special Jutsu that made Chakra Visible. First thing she had to do was pop a water balloon which she was having trouble with.
"GRRRRR! Why can't I pop this goddamn Balloon!" Naruko yelled in frustration making Sean chuckle. Jiraiya right now was out gathering intel.
"Naruko let me ask you something. When the old Pervert showed you this the first time did you notice something?" Sean asked making her blink before getting into a thinking pose.
"Uh...No?" Naruko said making him chuckle.
"Alright honey I'll tell you since the old pervert is out gathering intel." Sean said before taking one of the balloons and did the same thing that Jiraiya did making her see the surface all bumpy before it popped. "The problem is you're only making it go in one direction." Sean said making her eyes widen before she got an idea and used her right hand to start sending chakra into different parts of the balloon making it rotate in different directions before it popped.
"YES!" Naruko yelled in victory making Sean chuckle.
'Honestly she'll get excited about anything when it comes to training. But then again I used to do the same thing when Red Sonja showed me a few tricks from time to time' Sean thought thinking of his teacher.
"Well I see you finally popped the Balloon." Jiraiya said walking over to them.
"No thanks to you Pervy sage." Naruko said sticking her tongue at him making him chuckle.
"Now lets see you try this." Jiraiya said holding up a rubber ball and made it burst with his Chakra making her widen her eyes. "The first part is rotation the second part is force." Jiraiya said.
"Now that is more tricky since unlike before theres no water in this thing so it's much more difficult." Sean said making Naruko sulk before she started her training exercise. "Hey who came up with this anyway?" Sean asked making him chuckle.
"The Fourth Hokage did. It took him three years to develop this Jutsu." Jiraiya said.
"Looks like Naruko has her work cut out for her." Sean said seeing her struggle to pop the rubber ball.
Meanwhile
"AHHHH!" Orochimaru screamed in agonizing pain as his arms burned in great pain.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you ok?" One of the sound Medics asked in concern before Orochimaru killed him spraying blood everywhere. Orochimaru has been feeling this pain since Sean used the claws of Hades on him.
"I just got back. Now, I have to clean the room." Kabuto said entering the room. "Please be sure to take your medicine, will you?" Kabuto said.
"That medicine will do nothing for me, you simpleton!" Orochimaru said in anger.
"But I made it just for you. It should ease your pain, at least, a little." Kabuto said.
"I never would have imagined such pain was possible at the hands of a foreigner. Those claws of his." Orochimaru said remembering those claws he used to take away his arms and Jutsu.
"The Claws of Hades. A weapon of the god of the Underworld. One of the top three gods of Olympus." Kabuto said doing his research on Greek weapons and religion.
"Enough of your prattling. Tell me, have you found the one I seek?" Orochimaru asked.
"Yes. The trail led to a place called Tanzaku town." Kabuto said making him grin.
"I will get even with that Spartan soon and then I will have his body for myself. The powers of a half god. The possibilities are endless." Orochimaru said.
Back with Naruko
"DAMNIT! This is way harder!" Naruko yelled having a fit making Sean chuckle.
"All right thats it. Let me help." Sean said walking up to her making her blink before he took her left hand and placed a symbol on her palm.
"Uh whats this for?" Naruko asked.
"Think of this as a concentration point. Here let me explain it like this. The Human mind needs a concentration point otherwise the mind goes everywhere. Same goes with the eyes. Say if you're looking at a blank piece of paper your eyes will go everywhere." Sean said making her tilt her head. "Just trust me." Sean said.
It took her a couple hours but soon she was finally able to burst the Ballon with great force that made her fly across the place before Sean caught her.
'Hmm. She literally burned her palm with her Chakra. Hmph! I guess she was extremely determined to pop that ball.' Sean thought with a grin.
Meanwhile
"AHHHHHHH!" Orochimaru roared in pain as he and Kabuto traveled to find Tsunade till his arms started acting up again. "CURSE YOU SPARTAN!" Orochimaru roared in rage before slicing a tree down with his leg making it fall over.
'I never imagined Orochimaru could be in this much pain.' Kabuto said.
"I will have my revenge against you Spartan. I will destroy your home! Kill your friends and family! I swear it you insolent Brat!" Orochimaru said in anger.
"I don't think it will be that easy Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto said.
"Oh I'm fully aware of how strong and skilled those foreigners are compared to the ninja lands. Their allies and their abilities are beyond that of the Ninja lands. But mark my words Kabuto I will find a way to destroy them all. I will get his body for my own. And the gods of Olympus will fear me." Orochimaru said glaring at the sky where he could swear those very gods were looking down on him in amusement.
'In your dreams mortal.' Ares thought knowing he was no match for his son.
