Capítulo 159: Chapter 10
Naruto had finally read the letter. He was a little disappointed by it. There were no I made you a weapon to protect the village I loved more than you type stuff or any groveling and begging forgiveness type stuff. All the letter contained was a simple 'I had to do what had to be done and I'm sorry'. He did receive his two most powerful jutsu's, but Naruto couldn't help but think there should have been so much more. 'Then again I guess there was before my so called kaa-san(1) took it all and ran out of town.' Naruto concluded.
Letting go of the negative stuff surrounding his parentage Naruto turned his attention to the gates as two boys about his height came through the North Gate with a small army of men in fine robes carrying stuffed folders carefully as they headed towards the Hokage tower. Deciding to stop them before they reached the old man Naruto ran up and stood in front the two boys. "Hi my name is Naruto. Are you the two the Daimyo sent to become shinobi?" Naruto asked receiving a nod. Looking at the one on his left wore all black, while the one on the right wore a dark blue color and both had large scrolls strapped to their backs. The trio started walked towards the tower again as an awkward silence settled in. "So what are your names?" Naruto asked breaking the silence. "My name is Yasuoto Yuudai." Said the one in black who was a few inches shorter than Naruto. He had light brown hair, dark almost black eyes, and a pale complexion. "My name is Osegowa Katsu." Said the one in blue who was an inch taller than Yuudai. He had black hair, hazel eyes, and was also pale complexion.
*Hokage Office*
Naruto and the two guardian's kids walked into the office to find the ten accountants and two advisors of the damiyo talking with the only two accountants for the village the hokage hadn't fired after disbanding the council and Nara Shikaku. The Hokage looked up from some documents he was going over with one of the daimyo's advisors and noticed the boys. "Hello Naruto-kun, I see you found your teammates." The hokage states. Naruto nods in response. "Okay well normally I'd take the time to really get to know you boys, but I trust the damiyo's decision so I'll trust Naruto to help you get situated. I don't know if you already have your lodging figured out, but if you don't there are two rooms waiting for you at the Four Leaf Inn just down the road. Unfortunately we'll be stuck going through records and stuff for the next couple of days or more so there will be no missions until next week. However, if you need anything stop by any time okay." Sarutobi says. "Hai Hokage-samma we'll be leaving now." Both boys say and Naruto leads them out.
*Training Ground 27 an hour later*
Naruto had taken them to the hotel the hokage mentioned. He was amazed by the opulence displayed on the inside of the place. It was easily the fanciest place Naruto had ever been allowed to enter. Naruto wondered why he had been allowed into the fancy building, but had no way of knowing since he'd never had need of a hotel that the owner liked Naruto. He and the other business owners had been alerted to the council being disbanded so he could finally treat Naruto just like any other boy. Tokiro had even volunteered his hotel to house his team mates and the rest of the Daimyo's group. Now that he could kick out the councilmen who used their positions to hold rooms where they conducted some of their more illicit back room deals he had the space to do so.
They had finally left the hotel and were now at the training grounds he and Yugao had staked out as belonging to their team. Upon arrival he saw Yugao was already there looking like she had worked up a little sweat. Naruto wouldn't say it, but he really liked they way she looked after their training sessions. 'The way her shirt clings to her chest and mmm that time she wore shorts. No bad Naruto. She's your sensei and a loyal leaf ninja who is already spoken for. Three things we can't get involved with.' Naruto thought sadly.
"Hey Naruto, found your teammates I see." Yugao greets him with a smile. "Yeah, I think they're keepers sensei." Naruto says as the two boys grinned. "This is Osegowa Katsu." Naruto says pointing to the one in blue. "Uzuki-sensei it is an honor to meet you." Katsu says with a bow, which Yugao returned. "and this is Yasuoto Yuudai." Naruto says pointing to the one in black. "Uzuki-sensei I hope to learn a lot from you in these next three years." Yuudai says with a bow, which Yugao also returns. "Hai, I'm happy to meet both of you. Now Naruto-kun already knows this, but your team has been pushed through. So instead of testing you tomorrow at 8 a.m. we will have a spar. "First, the three of you will spar against each other in five minute intervals. Then you will spar against me for five minutes. Once I gauge where you are in terms of ability we will begin our training. Is there anything you two would like to learn?" Yugao asks Katsu and Yuudai. "We both would like to learn Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu." Katsu answered for both of them. Yugao nodded.
"I imagine you two are tired from your journey so you can go back to your hotel if you want and rest up for tomorrow." Yugao says as both boys nod and then go back the way they came. Yugao turns towards Naruto. "Do you want to train Naruto-kun or go home?" She asks. "Train of course sensei." Naruto says as he drops his seals to one. "Why do you even bother with those things if you have to deactivate or lower them every time we train?" Yugao asks. "I've gotten a lot stronger because of them. I only lower them with you, because if I didn't you'd kill me in our spars." Naruto says with a mock glare. Yugao just grins. "Whatever gaki. If I recall our first meeting you specifically asked me not to take it easy on you." She responds. Naruto doesn't respond just smiles and takes his stance as Yugao copies him and the spar begins.
*One Month Later*
It has been a month since Naruto met his new sensei. A few days later his teammates arrived and they were slowly getting to know each other. When they went threw their evaluations they showed a considerable amount of skill enough that the Hokage who had been watching decided he wanted Team 11 out in the field immediately, but demanded they complete 10 D-Ranks before the chuunin exams, which were in five months so they had plenty of time. They had completed their first D-rank mission a few days after their evaluations. It was a simple maintenance mission that could have been done by ambitious kids or civilians looking for side work, but no the owner wanted to show off that she could hire ninja. Naruto made sure to stay away from the lady who while still attractive was easily in her mid to late forties. For once the problem wasn't due to an issue with the fox. The lady was desperate for companionship and had tried to trap Naruto a few times before they could finish the job of cutting her lawn and getting rid of weeds with a promise of hiring them again and a wink sent towards him. His teammates or cell mates as he liked to refer to them hadn't let him hear the end of it yet and while he hadn't done most of the pranks the villagers accredited to him during his academy years … there were a few he thought might get them to shut up.
They had completed three more since and Yugao was convinced they were bonding. Team 11 was heading to the Hokage's office for their first C-rank. This would be Naruto's first time seeing the old man since his team evaulations.
*Hokage's Office*
Team 11 entered the office and saw Umino Iruka going through some documents. "Hokage-samma Team 11 reporting for our first C-rank mission sir." Yugao called out as the Hokage and Iruka raised their heads to look at the team, Naruto in particular. "Ah yes Team 11 nice work with Ms. Ushiwari. She practically raved about all of you, especially you Naruto." Both of his teammates snickered at that as did Yugao. Naruto was seething internally, but wouldn't let this get to him. Showing no emotion Naruto steps forward and replies, "I'm glad she appreciated our hard work Hokage-san." Naruto stepped back saying no more. Sarutobi motioned Iruka forward and gave him a scroll with some instructions. Iruka walked over to Team 11 and gave the scroll to Yugao who unfurled it and read. "You mission Team 11 is to wipe out a group of bandits near our border with the former Yugakure. They have been harassing potential clients and disrupting a near by village. Your orders are to capture or eliminate them and do not let them flee back to Suna. If they do you are to do nothing, but observe until such time as they cross back into Fire Country or are deemed unlikely to return. Any questions?" The Hokage asked. "Yes, do you know how many bandits there are Hokage-samma?" Yugao asks. "It's a small group about ten or fifteen. Anything else?" The hokage answers and asks, but receives only shakes of the head. "Okay then dismissed." He says as they leave the office.
"Hokage-samma do you think it's wise to have such a new group go on a mission like this?" Iruka asks. "Relax Umino it's only a few bandits. I assure you everything will be fine." Sarutobi answers. 'Then why do I have a bad feeling.' Iruka thought warily.
*Front Gates 30 minutes later*
Naruto after packing everything he felt he might need into a storage scroll that was in his storage seal on his forearm arrived at the gate first. He was surprised to find not his teammates or sensei, but Hinata and she wasn't wearing the big bulky jacket she usually wore. "Hello Hyuuga-san, how are you today?" Naruto asked. "Fine thanks Naruto-kun." Hinata replies looking him in the eyes. "Waiting for your team?" Naruto asks. "No." was her reply. "Oh, waiting on someone?" Naruto asks. All he got was a nod. "Well then I hope they won't keep you waiting to long." Naruto says as he goes to stand at the other side of the gate breaking their eye contact. "Who says they have?" Hinata questions as she follows. "Hinata I thought we settled this." Naruto says realizing where this was going. "No. You said you couldn't be with me, but wouldn't answer me as to why." Hinata replies as she moves closer leaving barely an inch between them. Naruto looks down into her eyes. "Fine then I will explain, but not today." Naruto replies harshly. "Fine then the day after you return I will come to your apartment." She says with conviction and strength to which Naruto nods. Hinata smiles and before he can move away embraces Naruto and kisses him on the lips. Breaking the kiss she giggles at his stunned look and walks away slowly.
Naruto watches her leave without another word spoken. He noticed the extra bit of shake in her hips as she walked away, but tore his eyes away. 'What the hell has happened to her. Before all she did was follow me around like a cute little mouse, but ever since I stopped using the henge technique to hide myself she and other females have been very aggressive towards me.' Naruto thought remembering his teams' first mission and other incidents when he ventured out of his apartment building. Naruto couldn't help it when his eyes betrayed him and watched again as Hinata walked out of sight. "Whatcha staring at?" Someone said close behind him. Naruto jumped and instantly unsheathed his sword bring it around on whomever intruded on his space. "Clang" The clang of metal caused him to lift his eyes to find the brown eyes of none other than his sensei. Immediately sheathing his sword Naruto says. "Gomen sensei, but you really shouldn't sneak up on a guy like that." "Well, Naruto I've never known you to be caught off guard until now. Care to tell me exactly what got your attention?" Yugao asked knowing full well what he was staring at. 'I got to admit though that Hyuuga girl has some body on her.' She thought.
Naruto noticed his two teammates had also joined them and were ogling the Hyuuga Heiress's shapely behind. He couldn't stop from letting out a growl at that, which didn't go unnoticed by his teammates or sensei who turned their eyes on him. "What?" Naruto asked. "You know Naruto if you let yourself be happy for a change you two would make a good couple." Yugao states. She and Kurenai had secretly been working on the Hyuuga girls confidence for well over a year. However, it wasn't until the last month that she had made major progress. They hoped if they could get the two together the girl would blossom and become the great kunoichi they thought she could be and her family always says she wouldn't. "Sensei I know that, but you also know why that can't be. I'll just end up hurting her." Naruto says softly looking down. Gently lifting his chin with her fingers and looking in his eyes, which always slightly hypnotized her Yugao says. "Naruto I know why you think that, but we're ninja. It's an extremely tough and dangerous career that can end in a moment. As a ninja you learn how precious each moment is and how happiness isn't guaranteed to anyone. So when you find it take it and don't worry about how long it lasts. Just give her a chance to choose for herself okay. Now cheer up and get your mind right. You don't want to mess up on your first mission outside of the village do you?" Yugao says releasing the blonde's chin. "Your right sensei. Thanks for the talk. I'm ready to go." Naruto replies with a small smile.
After an equipment check Team 11 signed out with the guards and headed out towards where the bandits were sighted. There was little to no chatter as they jumped through the trees from branch to branch at high chuunin level speeds since Naruto and Yugao had to slow down for their other two teammates. Still they were making good time and it would only take a few more days before they reached the border town of chiri(2).
*Next Day Bar Somewhere in Fire Country*
A red headed woman about 5 feet 5 inches (166cm)tall with dark purple/violet eyes was sitting at the counter drinking her second shot of vodka. Most people would say it was to early for such hard alcohol, but she didn't care. She had lost everything that mattered to her even though she knew exactly where her precious was. However, she knew if she stepped any where near him they would be killed. She was incredibly strong, but not an army. Her late husband had that kind of strength and she was by his side during many such victories. She was just too tired and uncertain to keep fighting alone, but she had used her time to rest and most importantly get stronger. She just wasn't ready yet to reclaim what they took from her and everyday that passed left her with less hope, which drove her to drink. 'How long can I expect my baby to hold out. I'll do it soon I just need a little more time.' She thought as she gulped down more of the vile liquor to chase away the thoughts of what he must be enduring.
Meanwhile, a Konoha shinobi entered the bar. "Hey Taiki." The bartender called out. "Hey Sho. Is Miyu here?" Taiki asked. "You know she takes Tuesdays off to visit her family in River Country." Sho replies. "Damn I forgot." Taiki says. "The way you stalk the girl I'm surprised you don't have her every word written down some where." The bartender says as he places a glass in front of Taiki and pours him some sake. "I'm not that bad." Taiki replies as he sits down and takes the glass. "Nahh I guess not compared to some of her other admirers. Still, you travel all the way here from Konoha almost every week to see her for the last year she's worked here. I myself don't understand it when you are in a village full of those beautiful kunoichi like the ice queen or that snake lady." Sho replies. "True Konoha does have a number of hot chicks, but none of them match Miyu. Plus, I don't have to worry about losing the family jewels when I talk to her." He replies remembering a few run-ins he'd had with some of the kunoichi he knew.
"So what happened to you? I haven't seen ya here in awhile. Even Miyu noticed." The bartender says. "Really? Did she ask about me?" Taiki asked excitedly. "She did ask if I'd seen you once." Sho answers. Taiki was in heaven. 'Maybe I should disappear more often.' He thought. "So where ya been?" The bartender asked again getting his attention. "Well, things have been a little crazy in Konoha so I've been pretty busy." Taiki replied. "What happened?" The bartender asked intrigued. "Well, I guess it's not a secret. The Hokage was finally able to get rid of that retched council." "What!" Both men heard a slightly demonic yet feminine voice shout to the side of them.
Suddenly Taiki found himself hoisted up in the air and struggling for breath. "THE COUNCIL WAS DISBANDED! ARE YOU SURE!" The woman shouted as she shook the man. "Lady, you need to calm down. He can't answer you until you put him down and give him some air." The bartender said trying to calm the situation down. Recognizing the bartender was right she dropped the Konoha-nin on his ass. "Ow" Taiki called out as he struggled to catch his breath. Once he did and stood up Taiki answered her. "Look lady I don't know what that was about, but I said the council is no more and was about to say Shimura Danzo was publicly executed." Taki said rubbing his neck. "The bastards dead … he's finally dead! HaHaHa!" The red headed woman dissolved into a fit of laughs before she realized. "I can get my baby back now. No more waiting. YAY!" She unwittingly said out loud before running outside the bar in a blur towards Konoha.
The two men left at the bar could only stare in disbelief. "What do you think that was about Taiki?" Sho asked his eyes not leaving the spot the woman once stood. "No clue." He answered downing his drink. "So Got any more photos of Miyu I can buy?" Taiki asked.
*Meanwhile in Konoha*
Saratobi was looking over dossiers for potential members of the new council. He had managed to get rid of the Daimyo's accountants and advisors' with as little damage as possible to Konoha's bank account. Now he was choosing his council, because he really needed help to get through all the damn paper work. This time around there would only be five civilians, while clans would make up the rest of the council, and 5 more seats taken by advisors. He was going to enact laws that made it tougher to declare your family a clan. That was to make sure certain trash like the Haruno's that had been calling themselves a clan wouldn't be able to slip in on some technicality. Of course some exceptions would be made even if they didn't meet some or all of the requirements any more. Like a certain thought to be extinct clan of a former Hokage. Thinking of his former successor he also gained a smile at how he was able to enact the changes to the academy the Yondiame was going to before his untimely demise. It would mean there wouldn't be any graduates next year, but the rewards would be worth it and it would be another achievement of his though he would be sure the originator of the plan would get due credit. It also meant he had to have more teams pass this year, but with Naruto's situation he had only had to pass one more team although he wished he could have found 3 more worthy to be a team. 'Still, I pushed the requirements down enough letting those three fan girls pass.' Sarutobi thought.
Getting back to his work his thoughts turned to the blonde he thought of as a grandson. However, as soon as he did the cup holding his tea cracked and poured over some of his paperwork. 'That can't be good.' Saratobi thought. He was broken from his thoughts though as his grandson came running in tripping over his scarf followed by his private tutor Ebisu. 'Why did I make that man Konohomaru's joshu(3).' He thought as the pair argued obviously forgetting they just barged into his office.
*Next Day Chiri Town*
Yugao, Naruto, Katsu, and Yuudai stood in front of the entrance for the little town. Walking through the town the place seemed deserted. All the buildings are covered in dust with windows and doors open. If you look inside you would see nothing, but bare rooms and walls covered in even more dust. After walking for a few minutes they see the Town Hall. Entering the building they found no one, and the place was stripped bare just like the ones they saw coming in. 'Weird' They all thought. They left and walked into a few more buildings finding the same thing. They walked back into the middle of town. "Listen up guys." Yugao says getting their attention. "It's obvious the clients and possibly the town folks have been abducted so we're going to scout the surrounding area and see if we can find the group responsible. Naruto think you can create a few shadow clones to help with the search?" Yugao asks.
"Actually sensei I have a better idea." Naruto says receiving questioning looks. Naruto rolled up the sleeve covering his left arm up to the shoulder revealing a tattoo of a large black bird with a blood red outline and eyes. The wings of the bird wrapped around his bicep. Naruto pricked his thumb with a kunai and wiped the blood on the tattoo as he sent chakra through it. A cloud of smoke erupted and as it dissipated a large black bird with a bald head and neck and red eyes was staring at them. "How may I be of assistance Naruto-kun?" The bird asked shocking Yugao, Katsu, and Yuudai. "I need you to scan the area for a group of humans Hachirou and allow me to use your eyes." Naruto answers. "Shua." Hachirou says and extending it's large wings exposing the white patches on the underside of it's wings as it begins to flap it's wings strongly creating gusts of winds that force Team 11 to send chakra to their feet to hold on. Once up in the air they can see Hachirou glide out of site as Naruto does a string of hand seals stopping on vulture and calling out "Manako no Kondoru Jutsu" (Eye of the Condor Technique). The rest of the team watched as his eyes turned milky white like a Hyuuga's and he seemed to zone out.
A few minutes later Naruto's eyes turned to their normal shade of ice blue. "Okay Hachirou has spotted their camp. It's 2 miles northeast of here and it looks like they have a lot of hostages, but they seemed alright." Naruto informs his team. "Naruto what was that Jutsu?" Yugao asks. "Oh well I have two summon contracts. One is the Legendary Tiger Contract and the other the Ancient Condor and Vulture Contract. That was one of my condor summons and that jutsu allows me to see what they see." Naruto says. Yugao is stunned as are Katsu and Yuudai. "Where did you get summon contracts like those?" Yuudai asked. "Well, due to people hating me for what I hold inside me. I often spent a lot of time in the forests especially the forest in Area 44. I developed a friendship with the tigers in that area after I shared my meals with them and saved them from a few hunters and other dangers. One day they allowed me to sign their contract why I don't know. Although I think it has something to do with my love of orange. The vulture-condor contract I just kinda stumbled upon." Naruto replies. Yugao and the boys could only groan at the absurdity of that statement, but knew if anyone could have that kind of luck it was Naruto so they dropped it. Hachirou takes that moment to land in front of Naruto who gently pats the Condor's head and then takes out a scroll and unseals two rabbits that he tosses to Hachirou. Catching the rabbits in it's beak Hachirou bows to Naruto and then puffs back to it's world.
Team 11 without another word ran North as fast as Katsu and Yuudai could go. 'I think they've gotten a little faster trying to keep up with me and Yugao.' Naruto thought. They reached the bandits camp in seven minutes and stayed on the perimeter. They seperated with Naruto moving around to the Southside of the camp so when they made their move he could cut them off from heading to Wind Country. Yugao stayed at the North end and Yuudai went West while Katsu took the Eastern portion of the camp. Clipping her com device above her ear Yugao cut it on and spoke into it. "Everyone in position?" Yugao asked. "I'm set in the North." Naruto chimed. "I'm set in the West." Yuudai replies. "I'm set in the East." Katsu says. "Does anyone have a view of the targets?" Yugao asks. "No. It seems these guys have mixed themselves with their captives." Naruto answers. "Okay team then relax we have a long wait ahead of us, but keep aware of your surroundings and what's happening with the group. We'll wait until they head into their tents and strike after midnight." Yugao orders. "Hai sensei." The three boys answer.
It was after midnight and the men they believed responsible indeed separated themselves from the large group and headed into tents as soon as it was dark out. They counted ten in all, but that didn't mean there weren't more hiding among the captives. Yugao decided it was time and used her communicator to start the operation. "Okay boys it's time start. Advance to the tent nearest your position as quietly as you can and try to take care of them quickly." There were 8 tents, but Naruto's sector actually held 3 tents, while everyone except for Kenta had at least 2. So Katsu's job was to take care of the tent in his area fast and get the towns people back to Chiri quickly while searching for any bandits that may be among them.
*With Katsu*
Katsu crept up to the tent and decided that he would make an entrance instead of going through the front flap. Luckily the tent was bottomless so all he had to do was lift up the bottom and slide in. Upon entry he saw his targets both asleep on the same bed. Smiling at his luck Katsu cautiously and quietly walked towards the bed of the closest target. Unfortunately he paused as he tried to steel himself for what he was supposed to do next. It was at that moment his target opened their eyes and began to scream, but before the man could get out more than an "AH…" Katsu stabbed him in the throat. Stunned he could only watch as the man gurgled as blood poured out of his neck and mouth as he drowned in his own blood. That is when his partner woke up and seeing Katsu standing over his bleeding to death partner quickly drew a knife and threw it at him.
Luckily for Katsu he was able to block it with his forearm bringing him out of his trance. Taking the knife out gently Katsu managed to throw it back at his other pajama clad target and hit him in his chest, but not deeply or accurately enough to do more than wound the man. Quickly jumping in the air Katsu managed to land on the man and quickly kick him in the chin dazing him. Dropping down so his knees impacted his stomach knocking the wind out of his opponent Katsu did some hand seals and placed his hands on the mans head as softly called out his jutsu "Raiton : denkou yashi (Lightning Release : Lightning Palm)." A surge of lightning chakra flowed surrounded his palms giving them a blueish white glow as it shocked the man into unconsciousness. Katsu could have pumped more chakra into the technique and killed the man, but he didn't want to alert any enemies that my have sensed it. So taking a deep breath Katsu found the kunai he used earlier to kill the first man and stabbed the second man through his heart. Taking the kunai he wipes it off on the mans pajama top and then puts it back in his pocket as he runs outside towards the captives.
*With Yuudai*
Meanwhile, Yuudai had reached his second tent. The first tent in his area was empty. Sneaking into the second tent Yuudai found one man asleep. It was easy to do he just crept over took out a kunai and quickly slit his throat before the man could even open his eyes. He bled out without so much as a struggle though Yuudai noticed afterwords a girl curled up in a ball being bled on by the oaf he just cut. Getting over his discomfort over his first kill he walked over to the other side of the bed and got her up from out under her apparent rapist and on her feet. He had to blush when he noticed she was naked silently cursing his victim as he noted the girl couldn't be more than a few years older than him. She had the slim figure of a civilian girl so he knew she must be from Chiri.
Taking out a scroll he unsealed a pair of pants and a shirt for her then turned around to let her get dressed. She tapped his shoulders when she was done and they left the tent as quickly as the girl could move. They quickly caught up to Katsu and the girl ran to catch up with a friend in the mob of civilians headed for the deserted Chiri Town. "Have any trouble Katsu?" Yuudai asked seeing the blood on his arm. "A little, but nothing I couldn't handle." Katsu replied as they walked behind the large group. "How many did you take out?" Katsu asked. "I only ran into one and he was asleep." Yuudai says. "Lucky you there two in my one tent and I was too slow getting to the second, but I took him down with that Raiton technique Yugao-sensei showed me." Katsu says. "Speaking of Yugao-sensei have you heard from either of them?" Yuudai asks. "No. The coms have been silent." Katsu replies. Just then the earth shakes and they can here what sounds like multiple explosions from where the camp was.
"Maybe we should go help them?" Katsu asks eyes wide. "Nahh we'd only get in their way. Naruto's only gotten stronger in the last month and we definitely don't have to worry about Sensei." Yuudai says. "Your right Yuu … still I'm kind of jealous. That must be some battle going on."
*With Yugao*
Yugao was some what bored. She had finished the two tents in her area with little trouble. There was one man in each tent and they were little more thugs that she quickly took out like the Anbu she was quick and clean leaving no trace she'd even been there. Instead of heading to the rendezvous point she decided to check on Naruto. She really didn't agree with leaving him the most tents, but she trust Sandiame-samma's intel. Naruto could handle more than his share of bandits and thugs. However, ever since they were handed this mission she couldn't help but think something was wrong. So going with the motto better safe than sorry she decided to check up on her favorite blonde. Just as she thought the earth started shaking and it sounded like multiple explosions went off. The a pressurized wave of air bore down on her forcing her to anchor to the ground using her chakra. 'I gotta hurry and save Naru-kun.' Yugao thought as she sped off into what looked like a disaster zone as tents and everything in the tents went flying about.
*With Naruto*
Naruto was crouching down in the grass out of site of the tents. He created twelve shadow clones and in groups of four had them surround the tents front, back, and both sides covered by a clone. Naruto flared his chakra giving the signal to his clones as each one through a kunai as hard as they could and once it pierced the tent called out "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)". The bunshins put enough chakra into the technique to create 9 extra copies each. Meaning their 10 kunai's coming in from all sides of the tents. Naruto flared his chakra again and all twelve bunshin ran into the tents a second later Naruto pushed a lot of chakra through each bunshin performing "Bunshin Daibakuha (Great Cone Explosion)". The explosions rocked the camp site sending out a pressurized wave of wind knocked everything back or over and causing the ground to shake.
Naruto stayed crouched down as the cloud of dust and falling debris slowly filtered out. A lone silhouette came into view as the dust settled down. Clapping was heard and the figure stepped forward revealing a woman who stood 5 feet 4 inches (165 cm), looked to weight 100 lbs. give or take a few, had honey brown hair, amber eyes, and looked to be in her mid to late 30's. "That was very impressive whoever you are. Would my would be assassin care to step into the light and allow me to see him. Naruto didn't know why, but he obliged the woman and walked towards her stopping when they were 20 feet apart. "I'm impressed. You managed to survive my combo attack and without so much as a scratch it seems. Mind if I ask how you survived my attack?" Naruto asked. "Awww. What fun would it be if I just told you, but I'll give you a hint. I took two earth defense jutsu's and combined them." She replies. Naruto gives a nod.
"So why are you doing this? I think I saw a few of your men raping a couple of girls while I was waiting to attack. Shouldn't you be against such actions?" Naruto asked. "It's not something I want to do kid and these aren't people I want to work with, but that's life. I do what I must and work with what I got." She replies. "May I ask your name?" Naruto says. "Chinatsu, yours?" She replies. "Names Naruto." He says. "You wouldn't consider letting me go would you Naruto?" Chinatsu asks. "No, but you could surrender and save us both some trouble." Naruto replies. "Sorry kid I got places I still want to see before I die." The talking stopped as they both took their stances.
"Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique)" Naruto calls as he flashes the Tiger handseal and concentrates on manipulating the flame. Chinatsu manages to dodge the attack and unleashes one of her own.
"Futon : Atsugai (Wind Release : Pressure Damage)" She called out forming the ram hand seal. Suddenly the wind started picking up on and formed a tornado. Naruto was having trouble staying on the ground. 'Wow this is a powerful technique. I wonder if I can learn it.' Naruto thought. Chinatsu sent the technique at him and Naruto knew he couldn't avoid it so he used a defensive technique. Going through the hand seals he Ox with his right and Tiger with his left placing Ox above the Tiger hand seal and called out.
"Doton : Doryūheki (Earth Release : Earth Style Wall)" Naruto finishes and wall of earth shoots up and protects him from the worst of the wind jutsu, but also leaves him blind. Taking the opportunity Chinatsu to mold wind chakra around her into a blade and wait for the wall to come down. A minute later the wall crumbled and fell to the ground leaving Naruto wide open. Taking the opportunity Chinatsu called out the jutsu.
"Kaze no Yaiba (Wind Sword)" Chinatsu says as the blades of wind flew at Naruto. Having no time to perform a jutsu to defend himself Naruto quickly unsheathed his katana and channeled wind chakra through it. He didn't even get into a stance just swung the bland vertically so the chakra flew through the air and cut into Chinatsu's wind blade attack. However, her jutsu easily defeated his attack cutting him deeply, but before she could celebrate Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke. 'Where is he?' She thought as she looked around wildly. Unfortunately she doesn't sense anything until it is to late.
"Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)" Naruto performs the technique catching Chinatsu off guard as he grabs her ankles and pulls her beneath the ground until just her head is sticking out. Tunneling away from her Naruto pops up a small distance away just as Yugao enters the battlefield and notices Chinatsu.
"I see everything is under control here. Do you need me to finish up Naruto-kun?" Yugao asked. "I'm okay sensei if I need you I'll flare my chakra." Naruto says. "Alright, but hurry up. We'll stay in Chiri tonight and leave in the morning." Yugao says. Naruto gives a nod and Yugao takes off to catch up with the boys. Naruto slowly walks to where Chinatsu is struggling to get out of the ground. "I guess you win kid." She says tiredly. "I guess I do." Naruto says solemnly. "Hey gaki, if you didn't blow it up there should be a scroll with a few techniques I scribbled down over the years you might be interested in some where." She informs him. "Thank you. I'll do my best to learn and master each one." Naruto says. "I only ask that you dig my body out of here once you kill me and take the money that's in a seal on my right breast in the shape of a rose tattoo and send it to my sister in Sunagakure. Her name is Airi Himotou." She says and Naruto nods. "Just make it quick please." She finishes and closes her eyes.
Taking his katana Naruto channels wind chakra into it and finished the job then did what she asked. Looking around he found the scroll under a piece of wood. Feeling tired Naruto headed back to town.
*Next Day Chiri*
It was 10 a.m. and Team 11 was headed out after having a nice hot shower and breakfast with the mayor. Soon after Team 11 left Chiri to the cheers of the townsfolk with a signed mission order and their payment. "Uzuki-sensei can we take it slow on our way back?" Yuudai asked not wanting to rush like they did on their way to Chiri. "Sure if the others don't object." She says. Yuudai just shrugs, but secretly wanted to take it easy as well. Everyone looked at Naruto who sighed. "As long as I can get in a little training … fine. I got nothing to rush home for." Naruto replies. Yuudai and Kenta celebrate internally as they get to relax for the first time since their arrival in Konoha.
"Naruto, have you thought about what you are going to say to Hinata?" Yugao asks as the other two boys listen in. "Tell her the truth. I can't be with her." He says. Yugao sighs, "Fine. I give up Naruto, but please be gentle with her and explain why. Also, if you could get some cinnamon rolls or red bean soup for her it might help as they're her favorite food." Yugao tells him to which he nods. "Your missing out on a great girl Naruto who would do anything for you." Yugao says as she turns away from him and continues walking down the street. 'I know sensei, believe me I know.' Naruto thinks as he follows her with his teammates close behind.
