If you haven't read the previous chapters, here it is:
Chapter 1:
Chapter 2:
Sunlight Village...
It was your average morning in Light. The sun was shining and the Karikage was behind his desk filling out paper work involving mission request, shinobi promotions, etc.
“I really hate this part of the job. How does Gaara and Oba-chan do it?” A bright idea formed, “I’ll get this all done in no time! Kage-buushin no Jutsu” Twenty Naruto’s appeared. “Okay guys, let’s get this done!”
The group divided the papers and continued with the paper work. Suddenly, a shinobi busted through the doors, “Karikage-sama! I have startling news from the Leaf.”
All looked up, “What is it? I’m busy.”
“Of the 4 Teams we sent out on recon a few days ago, only four members have survived. It seems that they were attacked by Shinobi wearing Black Cloaks with Red Clouds.”
“Akatsuki” Naruto eyes widened.
“What about the remaining members, are they alright?”
“It would seem that Natsumi-sama was heading home when the group was under attack. She dispatched of all 27 Akatsuki.”
“Twenty-seven?” Naruto said with a little shock “Akatsuki is a group of Ten Shinobi. According to Sasuke, his ancestor, being the leader would make eleven. Something is off.”
“Okay why are they in Konoha and not here?”
Putting his head down, “Well sir, you see… Natsumi and her group discovered Jiraiya of the Sannin beating to death.”
Naruto eyes expanded. The proverbial knife had pierced his heart. Jiraiya, Ero-sennin, the man he thought of as a grandfather was dead.
In a low voice, “Leave”
“Sir…”
Naruto’s voice elevated, “I SAID LEAVE!!”
The young shinobi wasted no time leaving Naruto behind. Naruto’s teeth clenched together and his fist tightened. “Ero-sennin…”
The anger in his eyes was visible. Naruto wanted the person who did this. Knowing that Akatsuki was in the area, he suspected that one of them was involved. Wasting no time, Naruto rose from his seat.
The road only led to one place. He was going back to the place of his birth, he was going back home to Konoha.
Konoha 3 hours later…
Konohamaru, the Rokudaime in training, stood before Makato and Koharu. He had explained to them what he saw while heading towards the battle sight.
Koharu sighed, “Konohamaru, we will put you on the inactive list until further notice.”
“What!! The hell you will old lady!”
“Konohamaru!” Makato yell silenced the boy. “We can’t afford our future leader to die an untimely death. You have no authority; it has been decided by the council.”
“We will see, Tsunade will not stan…”
“She was the one to approve of this” Koharu’s words left the young Sarutobi in a state of shock. Without pause, He stormed out of the office and slammed the door behind him.
Konohamaru continued his trek down the corridor inside the Hokage tower. He was heading toward Tsunade’s location to give her a piece of his mind when he heard a voice, “I guess they told you something that you didn’t want to hear.”
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Hanabi leaning against the wall. “They put me on the inactive list.”
“I’m sure it’s to protect you.”
Narrowing his eyes, “I don’t need to be protected. It’s my job to protect this village. Besides, we have an enemy out there powerful enough to kill Jiraiya.”
“True, but the decision has been made. Instead of being mad, use this time to train. Also, I wouldn’t go complaining to Hokage-sama.”
“And why not?”
Hanabi put her head down and in soft but serious tone, “She just lost one of her friends Konohamaru. How did you feel when you lost you’re grandfather and your parents?”
Konohamaru was about to say something but stopped short. He knew the feeling all too well, she was going to need sometime. That much he knew. “Do you want to get something to eat?”
Hanabi shook her head, “We can’t. All Jounin and Chuunin are to assemble at the meeting hall. I came to get you, let’s go”
Konohamaru followed Hanabi as she led the way.
Meeting Hall 40 minutes later…
All Jounin and Chuunin in the village were assembled. Sitting on the left and right hand were Makato and Koharu. Tsunade entered the room with Shizune and slowly approached her seat at the center of the stage.
When Tsunade sat the group went silent. The Godaime addressed her subjects, “As you all may have heard, Jiraiya was killed. Our guest, Shinobi from the Village Hidden in the Sunlight, discovered his body earlier this morning”
A random Jounin yelled out, “Then they should be under surveillance, how are we to know that they weren’t involved!”
“Jiraiya sent me a message before he died via one of his frogs. His frog has informed me that he was killed by an Akatsuki member who goes by Pein.”
The Leaf Shinobi was well aware of Akatsuki.
“How do we deal with someone who’s able to kill a shinobi of Jiraiya-sama’s caliber?” A random female asked.
“I will be reassembling the ‘Twenty Battalions’. Anyone is welcome to join but our goal will be the same, the complete and utter annihilation of Akatsuki.” You are welcome to sign up or re-enlist. Once you sign up you will be grouped into teams and will be debriefed.”
Tsunade rose from her seat, “We are on high alert. Shinobi, prepare yourself for what’s to come.” The Hokage stormed off leaving the members of the Leaf ninja force to ponder what she meant by those cryptic words.
Naoki nudged Kenta, “Yo, what does she mean by that?”
“She means be ready, a war is coming.”Kenta and Naoki turned to see Hatake Kakashi standing on their left with his arms folded.
“A war?” Noaki brow elevated slightly.
“Yes war. Jiraiya’s death was a message to all Shinobi nations. We all must prepare for what is to come. I have business I need to tend to, later.” Kakashi disappeared.
Off in the far corner Sasuke watched as Kakashi left. War was looming and he knew that it was time he acted now. Madara Uchiha… he would take that man down. It was time to put forth his plan in action. Without a word Sasuke left. Sakura who was standing by his side wondered where he went.
“I wonder how Naruto is taking the news” Sakura thoughts went to her former Teammate.
Hokage Monument…
Natsumi stood on top of the head of the Sandaime looking off into the distant sun. Behind her was Yuuka, Samaro, Miyamoto, and Ayaka.
“Natsumi, we should head back to Light.”
“I’m not going back; I’m staying for the services. If you wish to return you can, but know Naruto-niisan will be here soon enough.”
“Karikage-sama is coming?” Yuuka asked
“Yes. Jiraiya-sama meant a lot to Naruto-niisan and I know niisan, then you can almost be certain that we will be aligning with the Leaf. Jiraiya’s death is more significant than any of you can comprehend. Akatsuki just opened pandora’s box and what they’ve unleashed is a dangerous Fox, but more importantly…” Natsumi turned to the group with her Naiteki Reikon active, “They unleashed me!”
Natsumi turned back toward the village. “I will make sure that your death wasn’t in vain Jiji.”
Konoha 5 hours later…
Night was approaching. The gates to the Leaf Village opened as shinobi from various villages allied to Konoha came to pay their respects. Shikamaru, Temari, and their 4 year old son entered the village, Followed by Rin, Sasame, Yumi, and Mai. The group was accompanied by a small brigade of Light Shinobi. Among the group, Naruto was not in sight. Ino, Chouji, Lee, and Neji landed before the group.
Ino and Chouji embraced Shikamaru, “It’s good to see you Shikamaru”
“Likewise Chouji. Ino, you put on some weight I see… it looks good on you.” Ino blushed.
“Thank you Shikamaru.”
Neji interrupted the small talk, “Where is Naruto?”
Yumi answered, “Naruto left before us. He’s been in the village for hours now”
Ino, Neji, Chouji, and Lee were all surprise to discover this. How did he enter the village undetected was what ran through all of their minds. Shikamaru shook his head, “Konoha is getting sloppy. Besides…” Shikamaru pointed toward the Hokage monument. Turning towad the monument, the group saw a figure in a black and orange cap standing on the Yondaime’s head.
Hokage Monument…
Naruto was looking off into the distance. Hearing a familiar voice, “You enter my village without so much as a ‘Hello’, seeing as you’ve been here for the last 3 hours; I was expecting you to come seek me out.”
“Baachan… are you prepared for what’s to come?”
“As much as I will ever be Naruto; Jiraiya left me a message…”
“I heard it all from Gamikichi. So Ero-sennin trained this Pein?”
Tsunade nodded, “This Pein isn’t just any shinobi; he possesses the Rinnegan. Even you should be cautious when confronting him.”
“I’m not going after Pein.”
“You’re not?” Tsunade didn’t expect that from Naruto.
“No, I’m going after Uchiha Madara. In order to cut down a tree you don’t start with the branches; you aim for the Trunk that supports it. I’m going after Madara to end this.”
“Well looks like we have the same goals.” Naruto glanced behind him to see his longtime rival Uchiha Sasuke.
“I don’t think that is wise” Kakashi appeared next to Tsunade reading his book.
“He’s right you know.”
Naruto watched as Sakura land next to Tsunade. With a smirk on his face, “So it seems like all of squad 7 is here. Kakashi, I’m going after Madara, that’s all there is to it.”
“Naruto you will be doing what Akatsuki wants. Did you forget what you carry? This isn’t Aisu.”
“I’m well aware of that. Which is why I request that your Hokage grant me a small contingent of her finest shinobi, of my request?”
Tsunade narrowed her eyes in out of curiosity, “What are you planning Naruto?”
“I’m planning on eliminating Akatsuki. So what do you say?” Naruto waited for an answer.
“Who do you have in mind?”
“They’re all here. Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. After Jiraiya’s funeral I will be back in two weeks. Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi be ready by then.”
Naruto left in a burst of light. Tsunade shook her head, “I didn’t even give approval. It is of no matter, we will prepare for Akatsuki but for now… prepare to say goodbye to one of the greatest shinobi I’ve ever known let’s head back to the village.”
To Be Continued…
