章 46: Chapter 45
Jiraiya shook his head. "No, it was just that the majority of his ROOT Anbu were out on mission and he couldn't make his move against us. My spies have confirmed that. Tomorrow though the last of his ninja will arrive, meaning he'll be at full strength again."
Kakashi spoke then. "The Hyuuga clan have nearly the same strengths as us, so I would attack them, Danzo and his Anbu are relatively normal ninja and few if any have bloodline limits, so I think we can handle them after the Hyuuga are dealt with.
As the argument continued weather to attack the Hyuuga or Danzo first it was interrupted by their 'leader'
"We will attack them both." His voice silenced the arguing individuals in an instant. Jiraiya turned to him. "Naruto, dividing our forces at a time like this is foolhardy."
"We will not divide the troops." He explained, cutting him off. "I will go and deal with the Hyuuga clan."
"By yourself?" Kurenai asked openly gaping at him.
"It's official. He's lost it." Tayuya muttered to herself.
"Naruto." Kakashi spoke up. "You know that, up until this point I have supported you in almost everything you've done but I must say this…Are you completely out of your mind or just pretending for dramatic tension?"
"The Hyuuga clan Taijutsu is considered to be the greatest Taijutsu in Konoha, there is no way you could beat them all even with their currently weakened state."
"Not only that, but they have nearly the entire Inuzuka clan and more than half of the chuunin population of Konoha aiding them, along with the very powerful, Ino-Shika-Cho trio." Ibiki spoke up.
They continued to argue with him until he calmly spoke up again. "Enough! This is what I have decided. Jiraiya, you are to lead the attack against Danzo, I do not care how you do it, but you have three days to prepare for it. You are all dismissed."
He spoke with a tone that indicated his decision was final and while most of them didn't like it they each filed out.
Hyuuga estate: Refugee camp.
'Hey forehead!" Came a Ino's loud voice.
Sakura turned and saw her former friend/rival approaching. "Ino?" She asked as the girl embraced her. The past few weeks had been nothing but absolutely hectic. Their world had just started spinning faster and faster and it didn't seem like it would stop, seeing a familiar face among the chaos was a relief in and of itself.
"Hey forehead when did you show up?" Ino asked pulling away.
"Just yesterday why?"
"Because, Me, Chouji, Shikamaru and Kiba are all over by the tents near the lake." She said smiling. "Come on, lets go." She said dragging the pink haired girl along.
It was a few moments later they arrived where their friends were all sitting by the fireplace.
"HEY GUY'S LOOK WHO I FOUND!" Ino yelled catching their attention.
Kiba, Shikamaru and Chouji all turned and saw their former classmate. "Sakura?" Kiba asked shocked.
The pink haired girl smiled and sat down. "Hey Kiba." She greeted before looking around. "Ummm, its been really confusing these last few days can anyone explain just what the hell is going on."
Shikamaru sighed. "Troublesome." And was rewarded by a smack to the back of the head by Ino. "You idiot! She's just as confused as we were so explain it."
He grumbled some more before talking. "You remember that guy that took the chuunin exam some weeks ago with Hinata and Sasuke?" At the girls nod he continued. "Well apparently, he killed off the entire council in a coup. He says he wants to bring peace to the world. In his mind that's apparently conquering the world. And so now, the village is split between the Hyuuga and their supporters, namely our clans, a guy called Danzo and his division of Anbu and this Naruto guy and his supporters, were at civil war."
"But, who would support a guy that wants to conquer the world?" Sakura asked.
Shikamaru shrugged. "Either they agree with his ambition or they're afraid of him. Supposedly he's got Jiraiya of the sannin, The Copy ninja, Hinata Sasuke and his, old sensei, Kiba's and your old sensei Kurenai, half of the Hyuuga clan itself and most of the Aburame's helping him, that would include your old teammate Shino."
Sakura and Kiba both looked somber at that. Shino was a good friend, the fact that they may possibly have to fight against him was not something they wanted.
Meanwhile three men watched the children with grim faces. "Did we make the right choice, Shikato." The largest one asked.
"I don't know. And its too troublesome to figure out." Shikato said with a sigh.
"I cannot support him." Inoichi said. "I will not support him, wars are not won overnight, they can last years, decades even. I won't raise my little girl in the same environment we grew up in. It isn't right." The blond haired man said. "It's a good goal, but the price will be much too high." He stated somberly.
Shikato and Chouza said nothing, there was simply nothing to say.
Naruto stood in contemplative silence. He was making a mental list of possible strategies he could use against the Hyuuga. He knew the layout of the estate, it had been part of his training to know every major clan district in Konoha in order to properly defend it should one clan be attacked.
Ironic, that what they had once been using for their protection, was now going to bring about their downfall.
He was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard footsteps behind him.
He turned and found Hinata approaching.
She stopped, about five feet away and looked at him for a moment before she spoke.
"I…heard that you were going to lead the assault on the clan house."
A nod was her only answer.
She nodded, looking down. "I see." Was her response before she turned and left.
Naruto did not know why but he felt compelled to give her a choice. "Would you like me to spare him?"
Hinata stopped for a moment before she said one word.
"No."
