Bab 16: Pains Attack
"Pervy sage! Hey! I didn't think you'd be back in town." Naruto said a week later as he was called into the office with Tsunade, Natsuko, Sakura, Sai, Kakashi, Fukusaku. Natsuko sat in the hokage chair, her light red hair in two braids going down her back with a pale blue ribbon tied into her hair.
"Naruto. Focus." Natsuko said,
"I didn't summon you here just to reminisce. It's important." She finished, (By this time, Natsuko had already completed Sage training) her light blue jogging jacket riding up her arms slightly as she placed her elbows on the desk, Naruto finally took in the serious atmosphere
"What's happened sis." He said and NAtsuko hummed, raising an eyebrow towards the sage standing near the door
"Pervy sage?" Natsuko said and Jiraiya nodded, clearing his throat as he stepped forward
"I just got back from a mission, a week ago. Naruto, it the leader of the Akatsuki. Pain. is going to come here, and soon, for the 9tails." He said seriously, the elderly frog sitting next to Natsuko spoke up
"That is why I'm here, Jiraiya boy thinks it's time for you to begin your sage training. Naruto boy." He said and Jiraiya nodded. Naruto agreed,
"I'll go sound the alarm to prepare to evacuate the citizens two days from now. If a fights going to break out, I'd rather it not include the citizens. Pervy sage, you said you'd brought back a body with you, in the toad?" She said, tapping her bracelet twice, a peregrine falcon, white spotted under her chin and beak while having different shades of brown coloration on her back, a pale blue ribbon like collar sat on her left tallon. Natsuko opened the window,
"Flare, gather the jonin of the village. Fast." she said the bird seeming to nod before flying off.
"How long do you think we have?" Tsunade said and Natsuko looked back over, "judging by the state they left Jiraiya sensei in. we have maybe a week left. It takes two just to travel from the hidden rain to the leaf. So.. Geezer sage, Naruto, you two should probably get going." She said, grabbing something out of her drawer, Fukusaku nodded,
"Wait though, take this with you. It's a bracelet with my jutsu formula on it, if it starts glowing red, you need to return immediately Naruto." Natsuko said, passing it over, Fukusaku leaving a messenger toad with Natsuko. Before he and Naruto took their leave. With reverse summoning jutsu.
"Naruto's location does. Not. Leave. This. Room, Miss. Shizune, Granny Tsunade, please get started on that autopsy. I'll need the report back asap. Sakura please start taking stock of the medical supplies, if a fight does break out theres going to be people needing medical attention, fast. Pervy sage, Sasuke, Sai, Kakashi sensei, please gather all of the ninja in the village. Flare should be gathering jonin but I want Every ninja to be aware and prepared for the attack. If there's a chance we can stop pain from catching us by surprise, or taking any lives. I'd like to take it. You know. Homes can be rebuilt but lives cannot be replaced" Natsuko said, the ninja nodding, going to different spots, Shizune and Tsunade working on the autopsy.
30 minutes later, Natsuko was standing in front of every single Ninja in the village, the front gates closed, A clone watching them. Natsuko wore her hair in a high ponytail, with it braided down her back, her black skirt paired with black shorts and chain armor, a black cropped top paired with chain armor running underneath it, her forest green chunin vest sitting on top. Her gray ninja headband sitting on her forehead, tied, tightly. Her hokage cloak rested on her arms, the cloak having been lengthened from when she was a child so it still reached her thighs. Though sat on her arms better. The red stitching rising up her arms and the bottom of the cloak. Her black ninja sandals on her feet. In the crowd, Kakashi sensei, Sasuke, and Sai stood, Jiraiya standing on the stage just behind her, a serious looked on her face. Conversations broke out amongst the genin. Natsuko clearing her throat. Garnering their attention.
"By now, you've probably begun to wonder why you've all been called here. Jonin. Chunin. Genin. In the entire history of the
leaf, there has been only been one other incident where Every single ninja was called at the same time. Which should tell you, the issue I am to discuss is a serious one." She started, looking around the crowd. The conversations had ceased
"The Akatsuki, a small but formidable group have been going after Jinchuriki picking them off one by one. They haven't just
gone after Jinchuriki, they've killed some of our own comrades. Or attempted to kill them. I ask for everyone's help, no matter how small the role is, in this upcoming fight. *pause* I have reason to suspect the leader of the Akatsuki, calls himself Pain. And his partner Konan, has started to make their way towards the leaf from the hidden rain. It takes two weeks to travel from the hidden rain, to the hidden leaf. The village is on full scale level 10 lockdown as of this moment. No missions will be assigned outside the village. I want us to evacuate the village in it's entirety, civilians, pets, anything of importance, in two days time. Nobody enters or leaves the village." She said
"That doesn't explain why the genin are here though. Lady Hokage" Ebisu said, and Natsuko nodded,
"Actually it does. I want the Genin working in tandem to evacuate the village in it's entirety. Then after the evacuations are completed, I want them to help guard the villagers, In tandem with the leaf police force. This is unlike any enemy I've ever seen. So I'll let Pervy sage explain more about pain." Natsuko said bowing to Jiraiya who took the stage as Natsuko stood back
"Pains power is incredible. He attacks using 6… I call them tandem pains, each one holding metal bars in their body and possessing a different ability. Of the ones I fought, I only saw four of their abilities. Which leaves two to be unknown at this time. Repelling an attack and vice versa bringing an unsuspecting person closer for an attack, jutsu absorbsion, one of them has mechanical limbs and works similar to a machine, summoning jutsu for different animals. The pains also all have orange hair and hold the rinnegan in both eyes. The rinnegan is connected and allows them to track your attacks. Though its important note that the 'real' pain will likely not be among the ones attacking, but nearby, controlling the tandem pains." He said
The evacuations had been finished the day prior, all the ninja, were working on their training. Prior to the meeting call, Hanabi, Hiashi Hyuga, alongside two other hyuga members were out of the village on a diplomatic mission. Neji and team 15 were also out of the village, on a mission assigned just before Jiraiya came back from his mission with pain. Natsuko was completing paperwork, when an explosion could be seen from the gate.
"It's started." She said, pulling the hokage cloak over her shoulders,
"Star! Go now!" Natsuko said, the bird flying off, seeming to disappear into a bunch of stars,
"I'll get to the roof, Katsuyu and I will heal anybody we can." Tsunade said Jiraiya standing with her,
"I'll accompany you." He said, Natsuko using shadow clone jutsu creating two clones, leaving them to collect Nature energy.
"I'll collect nature energy. The Intel division is already working on one of the guys you brought back pervy sage, correct?" Natsuko said, and Jiraiya nodded, Natsuko nodding in return,
running the opposite direction.
"If pain thinks he stands a chance he's dead wrong." Natsuko said before whistling three falcons as well as another stellers jay with a white line meeting her
"Flare, Luna, Suki, spread out, spread word of the attack everywhere. Milkyway, please bring this to Gai sensei. Please go now," Natsuko said, grabbing her katana. On the way out of the building strapping it to her side. Falcons screeches began to ring out through the village, summoning 115 clones of herself spreading through the village.
"What does the note say, Gai Sensei?" Tenten asked, looking at the Stellers jay, one of Natsuko's opted to jump away from Gai, instead sitting on Neji's shoulder, likely jumped away as Gai and Lee started their erratic movements. Gai read the note aloud
'Team 15,
The leaf is under attack from the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain and Konan. Please hurry back. The fate of the village may depend on it. I've alerted the sand, and will alert Naruto momentarily. P.S. Please give milkyway ONE of these seeds,
otherwise she wont move.
5th Hokage The Red Flash,
Natsuko Uzumaki'
"Let's go. Thank you milkyway, go let Natsuko know we're on our way." Neji said, holding up a birdseed as payment, the bird taking it, before speeding off.
Star flew to the sand quickly, before boinking off of the kazekage's window, seeming to shake her head, she looked at gaara on the otherside, talking with Kankuro and Temari, before hitting the window a few times, Kankuro opening it as he noticed the bird. The bird flying in immediately. Jumping on Gaara's desk and proceeding to squawk at him waving her wings.
"I swear, Natsuko's birds are something else." Temari said laughing before Star hopped over to Gaara, who held out a seed
"Star and Milkyway definitely have big personalities, but I remember Natsuko telling me that they can usually be satiated with a birdseed." Gaara said before looking as the bird snatched the birdseed out of his hand, turning around so he could grab the letter.
'Gaara,
Two things. One, Star is mad at you, for forgetting the birdseed for her last letter, so beware. But if you've opened this letter, it means she's forgiven you… or you bribed her. Two, the leaf is currently under attack. They're looking for Naruto and seem to have no idea of my status, so we're using that to our advantage. Please stay where you are, these guys were strong enough to run circles around Pervy Sage. There's definitely a war brewing. Please be careful, tell Temari and Kankuro the same. I'll send another letter after we win, you know. So don't waste time worrying about the leaf, we've got this.
Best.
5th Hokage The Red Flash
Natsuko Uzumaki'
Gaara could practically hear the grin on Natsukos face she tilted her head to one side, her eyes closed as they seemed to do when she was smiling big, and he hummed looking at the bird, then back at the letter, before looking up at his siblings.
"The leaf is under attack." Gaara started before putting a hand up to stop their attempted advancements,
"Natsuko asked us not to, She and Naruto have it covered. These guys were able to apparently 'run circles' around one of the legendary sanin. So who better than his own students to fend off the attack. Natsuko is Hokage for a reason. Naruto is the most unpredictable ninja. She said she'd send a letter after the battle" Gaara said, Kankuro humming,
"Yeah.. I'm going to perfect my puppets, with all these attacks, there's a war incoming." Kankuro said and Gaara hummed as Kankuro stood
"Natsuko said the same thing" he said,
"You fight admirably, hokage. Second jinchuriki of the 9 tails but it ends here." Pain said and Natsuko hummed tapping bracelet three times turning the device red,
"My name. Is Natsuko Uzumaki, you know! I will protect my village!" She said, sage mode activated as she went hand to hand against the tendo pain, launching and blocking attacks, before he jumped into the air, Natsuko following him, unwilling to loose sight of him
"I see… but then… What will you do about this. Planetary destruction!" Pain said, and Natsuko pulled out a kunai,
"Ninja art! Ultimate reflection!" Natsuko said holding the kunai out in front of her, blocking the attack from the village
"Lady Hokage's giving it all she's got! We need to as well!" Jonin and chunin called out, as they split to to protect Tsunade and the intel team. Natsuko sliding back on the air, before standing strong. When pain hummed
"How about a second one then. Planetary destruction." He said sending another black orb of chakra down, NAtsuko holding out another kunai, while also having a barrier set around the leaf,
"Uzumaki ultimate chain barrier sealing technique! Full circle!" Natsuko said the chains wrapping around the village, Natsuko slid back on her feet, as she stood in the air, before being thrown back into the front gate, the barrier seal around the village being completely destroyed by the first orb with the second one demolishing the village.
"Sorry we're late… what happened to the village." Naruto said and Natsuko hummed,
"You're late brother. Let's do this." Natsuko said, moving unseen to the eye, destroying the mechanical pain in one hit,
"Your beat up Natsuko." Naruto said and Natsuko rolled her eyes, looking at his red cloak, and shook her head,
"You kidding? Compared to sage training, this is nothing." She said the two going head to head with pain,
"Katsuyu please inform the ninja to stay back this is a fight Naruto and I will take care of, I don't want anyone else getting hurt." Natsuko said and Katsuyu who was in her pocket nodded,
"On it." She said in her soft voice,
"Speaking of, with sage mode, we can sense everyone… is Pervy sage and Kakashi sensei…" Naruto said and Natsuko turned her head away as a tear slid down her face,
"Mourn later, brother. We must defeat pain here." Natsuko said, and Naruto nodded,
"Summoning jutsu." The tendo pain called, sending a rhino and dog forwards, Naruto taking the rhino, Natsuko jumping overtop the dog, pushing it into the ground before shoving it back as she and Naruto continued forwards,
"Shadowclone jutsu." Naruto said two clones appearing behind him helping him make two giant rasengans, Natsuko doing the same with her hands. When she was grabbed by the chakra absorber pain, pumping her body more full of nature energy she caused the pain to become little more than a petrified statue, moving her arms out, she broke the arms, as Naruto held two of the pains faces down landing a hit to the back of the others head. Sending him crashing to the destroyed ground, Natsuko landing a kicking the the pain behind him, simultaneously,as the twins stood back to back,
"Almighty pull." Tendo pain said, and Natsuko yelped before using her chakra chains inorder to try and resist the pull back, sticking them into the ground as anchors, before Pain upped the force behind the jutsu, sending Natsuko flying forwards, Pain grabbed her throat, crashing her into the ground before blocking her from moving with Chakra poles. Naruto running forwards to help, he ended up caught as well. Hinata jumping in to help them and Naruto watched as she was stabbed through what he thought was the heart. Sending Naruto into a rage, which also affected Natsuko from her close proximity, though she had a little more control. The two attacking pain mercilessly, before being trapped in a planetary devastation,
"Rip the tag off and I'll get revenge." Kurama said trying to convince Natsuko from behind the bars of hid cage, Natsukos completely red eyes glared over at him,
"That is not something I'm after, shut up fox. I signed on to protect the leaf. Not destroy it." Natsuko said as she found herself grabbing her head, falling to her knees.
"Doing a bang up job you are." Kurama said
"Shut up!" Natsuko said looking at him,
"I'm no idiot, if that tag is ripped off you take over my body. I know your tricks Kitsune." Natsuko said as she stepped forwards, a hand grabbing her arm, pulling her back, Natsuko pulling her arm back,
"Who the hel…are…you…huh" Natsuko seeming to be at a loss for words in her confusion, as she rubbed her arm
"Natsuko…" Minato said looking at her as though he were looking at her for the first time, Natsuko looking over, before jumping back
"Aw man, no way, your dead right, wait what is going on you know. This is so weird. How are you in my head right now? Wait you look like Naruto does that mean your our…" Natsuko said pointing at the man
"Your father, yes. Wow, lord third didn't tell you two much of anything did he. Guess he wanted to suppress information." Minato said
"Fourth hokage… come closer.. I'll rip you limb from limb and feast on your corpse." Kurama growled from behind the locked gate, Minato glancing back behind his Hokage cloak
"Hmm… graphic. Let's go somewhere different." Minato said, snapping his fingers, the scenery changing from the dark and dreary to something happier, more uplifting,
"I've been watching from your minds, so, I know about the attack, and your promotions, congatulations are in order." Minato said and Natsuko looked over shrugging
"So… who made the decision to make us jinchuriki?" Natsuko asked and Minato sighed,
"That would be me.." Minato said and Natsuko looked over, before she walked over slowly
"Dad." She said, Minato looking at her a moment before she slapped his face hard enough to force his head to move to the left he looked shocked for a moment, as he hissed in pain a moment, that slap, definitely hurt and he was feeling it, it was on par with Kushina's, even as he looked back over to Natsuko. She had tears streaming down her face, as she grabbed his cloak, her hair levitating over her head as Kushina's would do from time to time
"You're a bigger idiot than Naruto! You know! Why the hell would you do that to us! We had no friends! I only passed the academy early and got promoted because nobody wanted to deal with me! Even in the AnBu the only one who even bothered was Itachi and then I left because of Danzo because he wanted a jinchuriki in the corrupted branch Naruto couldn't make friends, I couldn't make friends. we were unwanted in our own village because of what you did. Then when we did make friends we couldn't stop.. I couldn't stop the Akatsuki from hurting everyone, and killing my friends. Now I'm the hokage and the village is destroyed and it's my fault and damnit! It's like no matter what I do I keep loosing people the I don't know if we can stop the Akatsuki, they're gonna keep coming I… I just…I dont know what to do, damnit. Its like I'm trying to navigate a whirlpool that keeps getting bigger." Natsuko said Minato hummed a sad smile on his face,
"Natsuko… how old are you guys now?" Minato asked as he hugged her, Natsuko hugging him back
"16." Natsuko said and Minato took in a breath
"Wow… already?... well, it's little consolation, but I'm sorry I put you through that, though it's little consolation now. But, at your age, you made hokage, that's an amazing feat." Minato said and Natsuko shrugged,
"I guess so. And I'm the fourth hokages kid and the fifth hokage, I'll deal with it." Natsuko said, rubbing her eyes
"Because you asked, there was a reason I sealed half the nine tails in you and half in your brother. Sixteen years ago, the masked man orchestrated the entire thing. I sealed the nintails in both of you, in order for you two to one day defeat him. Your mother, Kushina, was too weak for the nintails to be resealed in her." Minato said and Natsuko looked at him, her hair seeming to follow the movement,
"Tobi, the leader of the akatsuki with the black robes, attacks phasing through him, that. Masked man?" Natsuko asked and Minato nodded
"One in the same. Though, I thought his name was Madara." Minato said and Natsuko shrugged,
"He introduced himself to Naruto and Sasuke as Tobi, before phasing through every attack they sent his way. It was like" Natsuko started,
"He was predicting every move, or, something else. But Natsuko, when you two face him, you need to take care not to look him in the eye, or he will be able to extract the nine tails. Thats how he got your mother." Minato said lifting Natsuko's chin to look at him, Natsuko nodding,
"What else can you tell me? I have a good memory so unlike Naruto I'll remember everything from our encounter, dad." Natsuko said and Minato hummed before tapping her forehead, Natsuko seeing the entire 9tails attack
"How'd you do that? I wanna do that? Can you… do you know where I could learn it, come on old man please" Natsuko said and Minato hummed amused, putting a hand on her hair,
"Sorry, but I don't. Though Jiraiya sensei might. I have a feeling everything's gonna work out fine, okay. Even if you are hokage, don't forget to lean on the friends you have now, as well as that crush… Gaara is it?" Minato asked and Natsuko's face went a deep scarlet red, before she turned her head away
"I… don't know… what your talking about." She said
"You think… dad's proud of us?" Natsuko asked as they walked forwards through the forest a few kilometers from the leaf
"Yeah." Naruto said as the two panted leaning on trees, before the two nearly fell, Jiraiya and Kakashi catching them
