Chapter 4 - The enemy's plan.
Chapter 4 - The enemy's plan.
It was about 7 o’clock in the morning. The sun was shining over Konoha. The citizens were all starting to wake up and do their chores while 2 shinobi were sleeping in 2 different rooms. They were sleeping so deep that they even couldn’t hear the noisy sound of birds calling that was bugging everyone this early in the morning. It smelt very good. The man sleeping in the room was sleeping so deep that he couldn’t even recognize the smell of Ichiraku’s ramen. Suddenly a loud noise of a woman screaming downstairs woke him up just to see that he was lying on a bed in the Konoha hospitals. He saw the opened window and the sun shining all over the bedroom. There was a nest visible in the bare tree branches. Everything was so peaceful and he was so calm until a woman opened the door with a huge force.
Mina: Jinbei?
Jinbei: -_- Oh, it’s you…
Doctor: Ms, you can’t be here. The visitation time starts at 9 am.
Mina: I can see my husband anytime I want.
The doctor wasn’t very pleased with the answer but he kept quiet waiting for Jinbei to say something, as he was looking at 1 point directly. Suddenly a kunai was thrown in a seconds, and yet it passed by the doctor’s head, giving him no harm.
Mina: Jinboo!!
Mina’s scared look was so frightening that the doctor was wondering whether to be afraid of the man throwing kunais at random people, or from the crazy woman who did the exact opposite of what being told. In a second, the doctor left the bedroom while he was all sweaty of fear.
Jinbei: What ? He was looking straight at your arse…
Suddenly Jnbei actually realized he is in a ****ing hospital. His mood dramaticly changed as he couldn’t remember what happened. Was he drunk again? But if he was drunk, WTF he was doing in the hospital? Usually, he could drink 2 bottles of sake and then drive the bike to his work.
Jinbei: So, What the hell happened last night?
Mina: Last night? You’ve been here for 3 days now. Don’t you remember? You were attacked.
Suddenly, Jinbei remembered what happened.
Jinbei: Then where is Itachi? Akisha? Zero?
Mina: They are all fine. Now calm down and get some rest…
@At a location unknown.
Minato was walking towards Konoha, very calm and slowly. He was walking at at the same time looking towards the sky too see the clouds and the birds. Yet he get pissed when trees were blocking his view so he had to cut them off sometimes. Suddenly as he was walking, 3 ninjas appeared from the distance and surround him, each holding a kunai in his hand.
Minato: If you think you can beat me, then you are strongly lying to yourselves.
???: We are not here to kill you. We are here to join you.
Minato: Join me? Who the F…
???: We are the 3 most elite shinobi in this world.
??? I am Jamal. This is Pain, and that bald guy is Theos.
Theos: At least I don’t have a snout like yours.
Pain: Haha, you two are sure ugly.
Theos: Says the guy who can’t even remembers the 3 hand seals for Chidori.
Pain: I sure know them - 1 – Theos – 2 IS – 3 GAY.
Theos quickly grabbed Pain’s neck and started choking him, while Minato kept walking. Suddenly the 3 boys saw him leaving so they quickly jumped and went straight back at him.
Jamal: We can help you.
Theos: Yeah, you need smart, skilled, brave shinobi to accomplish your demonic plan.
Jamal: Then why putting yourself in the list. You don’t fot neither of these things.
As the boys were just about to start fighting again, Minato quickly stopped them.
Minato: You can come with me, but that’s only if you don’t talk and don’t make any noise.
Pain: Sweet. Where are we going?
@ Back in the Konoha.
Akisha and Zero were walking towards Ichiraku Junior’s Ramen when an Anbu guy appeared infront of them out of nowhere.
Messenger: Lord Akisha…Zero -_- The Elders want to see you.
Akisha: The Elders? The Konoha ones or the Iwa ones.
Messenger: Em, that’s the thing – Both actually…
Zero: Oh, this can not be good.
Akisha: I know, but it must be something important…
Zero: Let’s find out then…
After 5 minutes.
Akisha and Zero quickly opened the Elders’ door to enter a small but cosy room. There were lots of pictures, mainly on the previous Hokages. The colors were all red and some white spots could be seen. The thing that got both Akisha, and Zero’s attention was the smell of weed. The old geezers were smoking weed and also drinking sake.
Akisha: Did you call us here to share that lovely plant or ?
???: Who do you think you are talking to ?
Akisha: Im talking to a guy who used to but a great shinobi and now is wasting his life smoking.
???: Ah, yeah – The good old days. I was famous wasn’t I ?
Akisha: You sure were, Kaito-Sama.
Zero: Kaito? – Like Kaito – Kaito.
Suddenly another old guy jumped from the window.
Scarface: No need to increasing his confidence boy. Now we are here to talk about something very important.
Akisha: I’m listening.
Kaito: We have a reason to believe that the new organization that just recently formed is trying to collect the 7 swords of the Mist.
Zero: So? 7 swords – what’s the big deal?
Scarface: You know nothing about Kirigakure’s history don’t you ?
Zero didn’t respond to that question. Instead he decided to listen to the whole story.
Scarface: Well, I assume you have heared of Hohzuki Mangetsu?
Akisha: Wasn’t the guy who obtained the OLD 7 swords?
Scarface: That’s the one. Well his father created the swords and the whole village. He was probably the only one who could actually stand a chance against our first Hokage – the original Mokuton user – Hashirama. Well let’s stay focused on Hohzuki. By gaining control over the 7 swords and a Kinjutsu left by his father, he was able to create 7 new swords with devastating power.
Akisha: What are you talking about ? What power?
Kaito: The Power to give, and take life. But not like Kabuto’s technique. By using this power, one can revive someone from the dead with no side effects. He will be just…alive. Yet, the main purpose the swords were created was to become a key. A key that opens the world’s biggest nightmare. I suppose you know what Im taking about.
Akisha and Zero were shocked. How can this happen? What was all about?
Scarface: We have a reason to believe that the enemy has already 6 swords.
Zero: 6? But how? Jinbei said that Keotsu had only 5?
Kaito: Indeed. Keotsu has 5. And his master has also 1. And the last one is kept safe here in Konohagakure.
Scarface: So 5+1+1= 8
Zero: That’s actually 7 -_-
Kaito: We heared that Keotsu got away and we also learned from a valuable sorce that he was near Amegakure.
Akisha: Then let’s go find him. And take the swords.
Kaito: I already prepared a team. And I would like you – Akisha to lead it.
Akisha: Would be honor for me.
Kaito: Very well, yet That’s not the only reason why we brought you here. We need to talk to you Zero.
Zero: About what ?
Scarface: About that Forbidden technique you used to Kill Gobi of the Steam…You know it was forbidden right ?
Zero: Yes, but…
Scarface: So now you know the consequences.
Zero: I did it to protect the village. You know how dangerous he is. Was…
Kaito: Even so. It’s too dangerous. We can’t let him out.
Zero: So what now? You are gonna throw me away of Iwa ?
Scarface: No, we have better plans for you. Guards…..
Suddenly: 5 Iwagakure ninjas surrounded Zero. Akisha, in a very fast movement went to Zero and prepared for battle.
Akisha: Just like old times huh ?
Zero: Yeah but this time, I can’t kill those people. They are my friends.
Akisha: Should I use it?
Zero: Yes please. If it’s not too much to ask…
Akisha: Yosh!.
@Back in the Konoha hospital.
As Jinbei was lying down on his bed, he heard rumors about capturing Zero. He quickly walked downstairs and grabbed the ninja that was supposed to guard him.
Jinbei: What happened to Zero?
Jinbei moves his hands towards the ninja’s neck and started chocking him. Very slow, the ninja actually succeed in answering. It wasn’t easy considering Jinbei was quite powerful. As Jinbei learned everything he quickly punched the ninja so fast that he went unconscious. But he had to do it, otherwise he wouldn’t have let him go anywhere…
Jinbei: I need to find them…quick.
@somewhere in the outskirts of Konoha.
Suddenly, Zero and Akisha Appeared.
Zero: That was close.
Akisha: So what are you gonna do now ? The alliance wants to capture you alive. And you know you must be careful with that burden you are carrying.
Zero: I believe I can protect myself. Farewell mate.
The two friends shake their hands and then hugged (not homo). Tears could be seen pouring down from both’s eyes. Their bond was unbreakable. They knew it, but it seemed like their paths separated here. Zero had to leave, and Akisha had to stay. They knew they’d see each other again soon enough, but still, the feeling you get from separating with your friends, was too bad for them to bare without pouring down tears. Zero started walking, and all Akisha was doing – was watching. Watching how his friend going rogue…
~End of Chapter~
@Epilogue
Minato was walking towards the outskirts of Konoha, observing the village.
Minato: Damn, I don’t have any weapons left. Nor kunais, nor Shurikens.
Minato had used the weapons to throw them at the three boys when they were noisy or simply farting for fun. Suddenly Jamal appeared, running from Konoha.
Jamal: The rumors are true. The Elders are sending a group of ninja to Keotsu.
Minato: And who are they.
Jamal. It was kept quite secret. But basicly they are – Ryuji, Aoshi and Axle…
Minato: Of course. Genjutsu expert, Tracking expert and Sword expert. And Zero?
Jamal: Yes, this is true too. Yet, he was able to escape and now walking not to far from here.
Minato: Perfect.
Theos: So what’s the plan boss.
Minato: I need you 3 to meet someone. He will be your leader and will lead you towards the 3 ninja. Keotsu must not be worried right now.
A dark figure approached from behind the 3 shinbi. They quickly tuned around to see a familiar face that they were very afraid of.
Minato: I see you know each other. I now need to go and get the vessel – Zero. Can I trust you?
Dan: Of course you can. Now now boys, ready to kill ?
