Chapitre 6: Itachi Uchiha
After that we started our journey towards the Destination,which is the Akatsuki Base and the mission is to rescue Gaara with a four member squad type with Team Kakashi joined by granny Chiyo of the Sand village,
Although, she looks very old , but , she's keeping up very well with us all round,
"Naruto!" Sakura called out, catching my attention. "Can I ask you a question? How long do you think Akatsuki has been after you?"
I sighed, scratching the back of my head. "Man, it's been a while. When Jiraiya-sensei and I went looking for Grandma Tsunade, I ran into two Akatsuki guys. One was named Kisame, and the other was Itachi Uchiha" I said , as Sakura looked a little stunned remembering the name
"Akatsuki is after the Jinchurikis of the tailed beasts. But we still don't know why," I explained as much as I know and as much Jiraiya-sensei told me and I learned through other means.
"So, if they're going after the Jinchurikis and they're also after you, that means..." Chiyo trailed off.
"Yep! I'm the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails," I confirmed.
A moment of silence fell over the group as we kept moving forward.
"It's been three years since that incident, and the two Akatsuki members came to the village looking for Naruto at the same time. But for three years, there were no movements from them. Now, they're back," Kakashi said, breaking the silence.
"Why do you think they waited so long to make another move?" Sakura asked.
"From what I've learned, there is an reason why they had to wait this long," Chiyo spoke.
"What is it?" Sakura inquired.
"If they want to extract the tailed beast from the Jinchuriki, a great deal of preparation is involved. They simply need more time," Chiyo explained.
"Tailed Beast extraction ? What do you mean ?" Sakura questioned in confusion and her confusion was justified, getting so many huge information at once might be difficult to digest.
Granny Chiyo explained Sakura about the tailed beast extraction and how it works, also explained about tailed beasts and how successfully extracting of tailed beasts can cost the life of Jhinchuriki
Anyways, we continued to move forward to the given location, Until noticing fifth chakra signature of someone nearby
As I stopped trying to find out where from the chakra signature is from
"What's it Naruto ?" Kakashi-Sensei questioned
"Yeah, you stopped suddenly!" Sakura said.
I didn't replied to them , I just jumped off the tree and walked forward, and I was right there was someone nearby and it was,
"Itachi Uchiha...." I said , as he stood with the same Akatsuki cloak, and those same Sharingan eyes
Kakashi-sensei,Sakura and Granny Chiyo stood beside me ,
"Who's he ?" Sakura questioned
"That's Itachi... Itachi Uchiha!" I replied, as her reaction shows how stunned she was by the revolution from hearing the name.
"Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you again... I see you changed yourself completely!" Itachi said
"And I see you are the same as last time with that trashy cloak of yours !" I replied
"Itachi Uchiha, the only second Uchiha alive... Who killed his own clan and went rogue!" Granny Chiyo said.
"He's very popular granny, you don't need to give introduction to him!" I said with a smile, " Now, You're here to waste our time , right, Itachi Uchiha?" I asked.
"Quite impressive from you, considering how naive you used to be back then!" He said
"So we've to go through you then right ?!" I asked.
"Yes. But the question is if you can do that!" He said
"Naruto, I would face him !" Kakashi-sensei said , "But a instruction everyone don't look at his eyes directly" Kakashi Sensei said in a low voice as instruction to us
Sakura quickly looked down as Well as Granny Chiyo
"Those eyes!" Granny Chiyo said
I know what Kakashi-sensei is trying to say, but my eyes tells me the person In front of us is nothing compared to what Itachi can be , his chakra level is very low, lower than a ninja of the level of Itachi should have...
There is no mistake , and I'm sure that the person here standing is just a mere clone of Itachi Uchiha he sent to create diversion in our path and make time for them to complete their work...
"I will take him!" I say bringing out a Kunai as I stepped forward.
"Naruto!" Kakashi-sensei called out from behind
"It's okay!" I said without turning back, "what you're still trying to put me under your illusion...I mean Genjutsu ? Let me finish it quick !" I say with a smile as I threw the specialized kunai towards him , which he narrowly dodged and looked back towards me
"You missed, now my..." He tried to say but I didn't gave him the chance
"I..." I said , as I quickly teleported myself In the place of the kunai and created Rasengan in my other hand , "Don't miss!" Saying this I push the Rasengan in his back dropping him down to the ground creating a huge shockwave all over the place.
As the dust settle , I stood over the body of Itachi and as I looked back at everyone who were staring me with awe
"What ? It was just a clone!" I said
"How did you..." Sakura said but then stopped in middle of her sentence.
"Anyways, I don't think this is or I should say was Itachi!" I say looking at the fallen body at the ground as others walked over to the place
"This is... Yura, the advisor of our village" Granny Chiyo said
At last it was found that , the person we were thinking or looking as Itachi was a sand village associate, he was a member of Sand village council recognized by Granny Chiyo
According to her his name is Yura and he went missing after the Akatsuki attack on the village...
Anyways, Granny Chiyo sent the message of this new information back to village, as we again started moving towards the Akatsuki Base
In between, we needed to take a stop for rest yesterday night, to be at perfect shape when we reach the Akatsuki Base
After sometimes we finally reached the place , but our backup squad was already present there,
"Hey, Neji... Lee and Tenten" I say as we walk forward to them while walking in the river that's in between the land and the Akatsuki Base we are here for.
"Hey... N-N..Naruto, Is that really you ?" Tenten questioned
"Yeah, I couldn't recognized you in first glance as well" Lee said
"You've changed a lot Naruto" Neji said with a serious as always
"But , you're the same as ever , The same Neji from 3 years ago! I said
"Who is she ?" Tenten questioned pointing towards Granny Chiyo
"Oh... She's from Sand village, she's a former village council member of Sand" Sakura replied
Tenten, Rock Lee and Neji greeted Granny Chiyo with Guy-Sensei
"So, if introduction and meet and greet is finished, let's focus on the mission for now" Kakashi-sensei said, "This is the base , is that right ?" Kakashi-sensei questioned to Pakkun.
"Yes!" Pakkun said and nodded in affirmation.
"That means Gaara and the Akatsuki members are inside this closed cave" I said looking at the boulder which was covering the cave.
"Yes. And it seems it won't be that easy to get through this..." Kakashi-sensei said directing towards a tag attached to the boulder of the cave.
"That's a Five-Seal Barrier." I said , "They have it there just to waste our time as much possible" I said
Kakashi-sensei and Guy-Sensei nodded in affirmation
"Wait a second, what is this Five-Seal Barrier we're talking about?" Rock Lee questions
"The Five-Seal Barrier is a highly advanced and formidable jutsu. It's created by placing five special tags, or 'seals,' at strategic points around the perimeter. These seals are interconnected, forming a barrier that is incredibly resilient and difficult to penetrate."
He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "To dismantle the barrier, we need to remove all five seals simultaneously. If even one seal remains, the barrier will stay intact." He explained.
"If one tag is here , that means there are four more tags somewhere near , right ?" Tenten questioned
"Exactly, to penetrate through this sealing technique, we would need to find all the tags and remove them simultaneously." Kakashi-sensei said as he looked at Neji.
"On It" Neji said as he started finding the positions of the other tags using his Byakugan
"Found them!" He said
"Where ?" Sakura asked
"Alright. One's on a boulder, about 500 meters northeast... The second's by the river, 350 meters south-southeast... Third's hanging out on a cliff, roughly 650 meters northeast, and the last one's tucked away in a forest, just of 800 meters to the southwest. Those are our targets, the four forbidden seals," He said
"Good Work,Neji!" Kakashi-sensei said as Nods
"Now , what's the plan to remove the tags ?" Rock Lee asked.
"Yeah, we need to remove the tags simultaneously as well, how'll we do that ?" Sakura questioned
"We will need four of us to go there and remove the tags simultaneously " Guy-Sensei said, "As we are the fastest among the both team, we will do the work" he added
"Or, I can create Shadow clones and sent them to do the work" I said, "What do you all think ?" I ask, looking at Kakashi-sensei.
