Capítulo 42: Chapter 41: Falling leaves
The village hidden in the leaves, also known as Konohagakure had always prided itself on numerous things. Its great number of fine ninja, the fact that their Yondaime Hokage, was also known as the greatest ninja the world had ever seen, the prestige of its clans, the fresh, crisp clean air its dense forests provided.
But most of all, the fact that its ninja, always helped each other. No one simply fought one Konoha ninja, they fought an entire team, because one Konoha ninja always assisted his comrade.
But in a single instant, that peace, that unity, that camaraderie, was shattered.
Uzumaki Naruto, The Demon of Konoha, The Living weapon of the hidden leaf village had killed nearly the entire Shinobi council in one fell swoop. Only six had survived. The Inuzuka and Aburame clan heads, Inuzuka Tsume and Aburame Shibi had been away on a mission as had the clan heads of the Akamich and Nara clans. Akimichi Chousa and Nara Shikato.
The only three councilmen that had survived the massacre and had been present was the clan head of the Hyuuga clan, Hyuuga Hiashi, the Yamanaka clan head Yamanaka Inoichi and the leader of the ROOT Anbu division, Danzou and the only reason those three had escaped, was because Inoichi had managed to invade the mind of Tayuya, making her drop the barrier just in time for the three to make their exit.
Word soon spread like wildfire of the coup and the idealistic reason behind it. Naruto had taken the Kage tower as his operations base. Too few remained to properly organize an attack against him. The Hokage and the council was dead, none held the rank to order an assault by the jounin and Anbu.
Until they reorganized he was safe.
It appeared however as if the Shinobi population and the Civilian population would simply side with the Hyuuga or Danzou when the time came.
But that would soon change…
Kakashi silently leapt up over the rooftops of the village of the hidden leaves, rain pelted against his body, making small pit pat sounds against his forehead protector. He ignored it however as he continued making his way up the Hokage monument, where he could see a figure standing above the Fourth Hokage's head.
In only a few minutes he made his way there, standing before the tall figure of Jiraiya the toad sannin He walked up behind him. His face serious. "Is it true?"
Jiraiya shrugged. "Yeah, he killed the council."
"I was asking about the other little tidbit of information."
Jiraiya looked to the sky. "You're asking weather or not I still support him?"
Kakashi nodded.
Jiraiya didn't even turn to face him he merely continued to look upon the night sky. Finally, after almost a minute he spoke. "Yeah…I do."
"Why?" Kakashi asked shocked. "He's planning on starting another war, no…he's planning to start another war that we can't win."
"Kakashi." Jiraiya cut in… "When I saw him…that day in the council chamber…at first I thought he was insane…but…right now…I…I think…I truly believe that he might very well be able to do it. He can bring an end to this never-ending spiral of war."
"It's a dream Jiraiya…not even sensei could hope to do it." Kakashi said somewhat somberly. A world without war…it was a nice dream…but…dreams were dust.
"Just a dream…" Jiraiya said, his voice, barely a whisper, drowned out by the rains. He turned to face the silver haired ninja, his arms crossed over his chest. "Then Kakashi, spread the word. That Jiraiya, The second sannin, The toad sage and sensei to the Yondaime Hokage…will grant his full support to achieve Uzumaki Naruto's dream."
Kakashi's single eye went wide, but before he could speak anymore, Jiraiya leapt off of the Kage monument, the howls of the wind and the pitter-patter of the rain being the only things left in his wake.
When news spread throughout Konoha, that Jiraiya of the sannin supported the Demon the civilian and Shinobi population were torn in two. Many wanted to head to the Hyuuga clan house and seek refuge there, believing that the walls and might of the Hyuuga clan would prevail over any adversary.
The division was literally splitting Konoha in two.
It would be made apparent, in the next fateful event.
Naruto stood at the balcony of Sarutobi's old office staring over the village of Konoha. He could see the Hyuuga clan house at the other side of the village from this vantage. He turned at the sound of the door opening. Jiraiya, the strongest Shinobi currently under his command entered with a calm expression on his features..
The Toad sannin walked past him and leaned on the railings of the balcony. "You know…" He began."In order to even have a hope of getting this ambition of yours off the ground you first need to win this political game."
Naruto nodded. He was about to respond when the door opened again this time revealing the sound ninja, Tayuya and Kidomaru. Jiraiya narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly. He knew they were, somewhat necessary due to the few number of actual supporters Naruto had, but…he still didn't have to like working with one of the people that helped kill his sensei.
They then noticed that the two were dragging someone along. It appeared to be a person hidden in a cloak. They dropped their prisoner unceremoniously on the floor.
"We caught this fuck trying to get into the tower." Tayuya said, kicking the persons side.
"I managed to suffocate 'em with my webbing enough to knock them out."
Naruto nodded. "Remove the cloak."
Tayuya knelt down and did so, revealing none other than the Hyuuga heiress.
"Wake her." Naruto ordered. Tayuya shifted through her pocket and took out a small wrapping of smelling salts. She cracked it and set it to the girls nose.
