章 1315: 20
Take Flight
Things were starting to look up for the Naruto these last couple of days. Sure, his arms were still covered by fresh bandages, but he could now maintain a Rasengan for well over three minutes before the spherical chakra mass would blow up on his face and, for most battle situations, three minutes should be enough to impale the jutsu into the opponent's gut. That, plus the fact that his wallet was becoming uncomfortably heavy due to his casino winnings made up for a fruitful week for the young Jinchuuriki.
If only the mission itself could go as smoothly.
Most of the day had already gone by and the Sharingan user was still following the Sannin through crowded streets.
Curses and grunts of frustration could occasionally be heard from Jiraiya's general direction as the white haired man marked everything his from casinos to lottery stands within two days of travel. "She has to be in one of these…" He spoke what had already become his mantra for the last couple of days.
"This is taking us nowhere…" Naruto commented. "I thought you had some idea about where this… Tsunade is, but we've been at this for over a month now and there is no trace of her." The blond criticized. "I sure hope that they never send you to look for me if I go missing during a mission…" He commented in a low voice, but still loud enough to make sure the older shinobi heard it.
The legendary pervert gritted his. "Perhaps I should have let your father drown that one time when we went to Wave while he was still a genin…" He shot back.
Shrugging the Sannin's comment off, the spiky haired boy simply brought his hands to the back of his head and silently continued to follow the senior nin.
With frustration having gotten the best of him, Jiraiya could no longer discern any of the illustration on his map. Letting out a roar in irritation at the offending piece of paper, the Sannin crumbled the map and shoved into one of his pockets. "Ok, Hotshot!" The white hared man called out as he turned around to look at the young Sharingan user. "Since according to you, I have no idea about what I'm doing, why don't you pick our next destination?!" He offered as he folded his arms and continued to regard the genin.
"Ok, if you have so much doubt in yourself, then I guess I'll do it." Naruto answered with a shrug of his shoulder, earning a glare from the white haired man. "I say we go to that place next." The Jinchuuriki stated as extended his right and pointed at his intended destination.
Jiraiya's eyes followed the direction indicated by the blond. "There?" He asked looking at the boy with confused eyes. "But that's only a restaurant!" The legendary shinobi pointed out.
The spiky haired genin nodded. "Yeah, get the hint." Naruto commented as he proceeded to fold his arms as well. "We haven't eaten anything since breakfast… Yesterday!" The Jinchuuriki reminded as he started to walk towards the establishment.
Grunting in defeat and sighting, the Sannin started after the young shinobi. "Very well, we'll take a break for food… But you're paying!" He exclaimed.
Naruto ignored Jiraiya's declaration. The blonde's eyes were solely on the restaurant's door while his mind was preoccupied hoping that they got ramen in the establishment.
As he followed the Sharingan user through the door, Jiraiya's trained eyes immediately scanned the room. The white haired man's field of vision was moving from one side of the restaurant to the other when suddenly, something caught his attention. "Oh… There is no way the kid is that lucky!" He exclaimed in a mix of surprise and frustration.
"I cannot believe you tracked me down!" Naruto was currently sitting with Jiraiya in front of a grouchy, well-endowed, blond woman, her nervous, black haired assistant, and a pig wearing a red jacket. Needless to say, Naruto was a little skeptical about the famed Tsunade, but the genin decided to leave the situation for the adults to deal with for now, because there a bowl of ramen right before him meriting all of the spiky haired boy's attention.
Jiraiya laughed at the angry face his old teammate was making. "And I can't believe that you lost so much in the casinos that you have to dine in a roadside restaurant instead of those fancy ones you enjoy so much!" The white haired man teased.
Looking from her teacher to male Sannin and to young boy preoccupied with his food, Shizune sighed. It had been a long and hard day for her and it showed no signs of letting up anytime soon.
Still been unable to mask her anger, Tsunade addressed the legendary pervert again. "So are you going to tell me the reason why you came looking for me?" The healer questioned. "Because I am damn well sure that this is no a social visit."
The goofy grin immediately disappeared from Jiraiya face as he regarded the female blond with a serious look. "I like to think that you are not so detached with your past that you have no idea of what has been happening in your own village." The white haired nin stated.
Tsunade's eyes narrowed. "First of all…" She began. "I have left everything from the past where it belongs." The healer clarified as she looked at her former teammate as if he had just wronged her somehow. "That been said, I did hear word that you were attacked by Hidden Sand." The kunoichi confessed.
Folding his arms and leaned back against his seat as he matched the blonde woman's glare. "And did you hear that Sarutobi-sensei was killed during the attack?"
A mild look of surprised appeared in the female Sannin's face but was shrugged off the next instant. "So… The Old Man is finally dead, uh?" She said with a bored look. "It took him long enough to roll over and die…" She added, her voice void of any sadness, compassion, or melancholy.
Next to the legendary healer, Shizune realized that the young spiky haired boy had suddenly stopped eating.
Unlike his teammate, Jiraiya's voice was tainted by a hint of anger. "Anyways… The Council is asking for your return to the village to receive the position of Godaime Hokage." There was a general surprised shock from the rest of the dinner party.
"What?!" Naruto exclaimed as he looked at the white haired man for an explanation.
Tsunade watched the other Sannin with a slightly bewildered look on her face before she started laughing. "Hahah… I swear, Jiraiya, you have the worse sense of humor." She dismissed her former teammate's statement. "Like I would even consider such a pathetic a stupid and stupid job. Only a deranged fool would take up such responsibilities that only lead you to a worthless death…"
If the blond woman had any more comments, they were drowned out when the spiky haired boy slammed his fist on the table. "You cannot be serious!" The Jinchuuriki said as he turned towards the older man again. "How can they even consider her to be the next Hokage?! You might as well give the title to Orochimaru!" Naruto exclaimed, his anger flaring out. "She doesn't deserve it! She will only taint the title of Hokage!" He added as he turned to glare at the healer.
The female Sannin regarded the genin, her eyes meeting the same level of contempt present in his. "Now listen here, you little brat!" She started. "You know nothing about the title of Hokage!" She exclaimed as she slammed her fist as well. "All you see is the glory and the praises, but you ignore the fact that all it does is break families up and condemns people to pathetic and lowly deaths!" She stated.
Naruto's glare intensified. "It's not only that!" The Sharingan user rejected the woman's declaration. "Hokage is the person that everybody and trust and look up to! He is the only person that is there for you and makes you feel safe in this dark and horrible world!" The Jinchuuriki fervently stated. "And I will be damned if I let you insult the title of Hokage, let along become one!"
The legendary healer snorted. "And who are you to stop me?" She questioned.
The genin's eyes narrowed as there were filled with determination. "I am Uzumaki Naruto and I will become Hokage!"
The statement left three thirds of the table surprised again.
Regaining her composure, the senior medic let out an all out laugh. "Hahahah… A worthless little brat like you become Hokage?!" Tsunade mocked as she regarded the Jinchuuriki with eyes that matched her tone.
Returning the glare, the Sharingan user gritted his teeth before answering back. "I would be a better Hokage that you could ever be!" He firmly stated.
"Is that so…?" A smirk appeared in Tsunade's face as, next to her, Shizune sighed.
It was Jiraiya's turn to sigh now. The whole situation had spun out of the Toad Sannin's control and he was now standing on the side of the street with is teammate's student as said teammate and his own student were about to face off.
The smirk still resided on the legendary healer's face. "Ok, here is the deal…" She started. "You will have three tries, if you manage to lay a single finger on me, I will take back everything I said about the Hokages." The blond woman announced. "But, when you fail, you will have to pay for all my gambling debts from now on!"
From her position, Shizune wished that she could warn the spiky haired boy about what he was truly getting into. He would have to pull missions 24/7 to try to keep up with her teacher's gambling sprees.
Determination shined brightly in Naruto's eyes as he nod his head in agreement of the terms. He was going to make her take back all of her insults to the Third and the title of Hokage, no matter what. After tightening his headband, the genin dashed forward while closing his fist.
It was nothing but a blur for the Jinchuuriki. One moment his eyes were focused on the female Sannin's face, and the next her face was replaced by her fist flying swiftly towards him.
The impact was sickening, and the Sharingan user found himself been flung back. Twisting his body in midair, Naruto managed to land on his feet. "Damn it…" Before hesitation could seep in, the blond genin charged forward once again and brought his hands together. "Kage Bushin no Jutusu!"
Immediately, four identical replicas of the spiky haired boy appeared in the air in front of the medic nin, falling towards her. "You at least have some nice tricks…" Tsunade commented before graving the closes clone by the arm and flinging it violently against the other four, reducing the quartet to clouds of smoke.
The original Naruto's fist suddenly came flying through the smoke towards the healer's abdomen.
In an instant, the Sannin flicked her leg up, catching the genin's chin and sending him skyward.
Naruto fell hard on the ground several feet away.
"That makes two." Tsunade reminded the young man currently trying to get back to his feet. "Shizune, make sure to get direction for the nearest gambling house." She commanded her student.
Wiping the blood that was running down his mouth, the Jinchuuriki gave the kunoichi his deadliest glare yet. "I… I am not going to lose to you!" The spiky haired boy declared as he extended his right arm and grabbed his wrist with his left hand. Remembering his training from the last couple of days, Naruto started to gather chakra in the palm of his hand. "Rasengan!"
The healer was surprised by the sight of the young genin dashing towards him with a perfectly spherical Rasengan at hand. Snapping out of her little trance, Tsunade brought her fist downward, driving it to the ground and causing a large boulder to rise up between her and the attacking boy.
The moment the Rasengan connected with the boulder, the piece of rock exploded, causing dust to devour the entire street.
Even through the clouds left by the explosion, Tsunade could still see the spiky haired brat's figure approaching. The medic nin prepared a strengthened fist to shut down the immature genin once and for all.
The punch was never released as the Sannin's eyes caught sight of the Jinchuuriki's and was left frozen in shock by the presences of white comas around a white dot in both of the young man's eyes.
Taking advantage of his opponent's astonishment, Naruto immediately swung his fist towards the blond woman's face.
Barely been able to recover from her surprise, the healer only had time to move her body slightly back, dodging the full force of the punch, but not enough to save her chin from been grazed by it. Jumping back, Tsunade kept her eyes focused on the spiky haired boy's Sharingan.
The unlucky gambler could still remember when Uchiha Kagome confessed her relationship with Minato and her expecting motherhood to her. At that moment, Tsunade had told the young woman how her child would either be a garden variety Uchiha or have no trace of the clan, because the upcoming child's two heritages were too dominant to come to a middle ground. Yet, here she was, looking at a miniature version of Minato donning a pair of blue and white Sharingan eyes.
"I won…!" Naruto stated as he panted where he stood.
Jiraiya and Shizune had barely being able to catch the moment when the younger blonde's knuckle scratched his former teammate.
The female Sannin snorted. "I guess you did…" She admitted with just a hint of frustration in her voice. "I take back what I said about the Hokage… But not about you ever becoming one." The legendary medic nin's statement surprised the shinobi present. "The only reason you won was because you caught me by surprise with the Yondaime's jutsu and the Uchiha's Kekkei Genkai." She pointed out. "How can you defend the Leaf as Hokage if all you do is copy other? You are just depending on the strength of deceased Kages and an extinct clan!" The healer declared.
Naruto's glare became deadly once again at the healer's words. "That's not true! I rely on my strength!" The Sharingan user firmly stated.
"Then prove it…" Tsunade simply stated as she continue to observe the young man in front of her. At the look of confusion on the genin's face, the blond woman elaborated. "Let's make another bet. Prove to me that you can acquire power of your own and I will acknowledge that you could become a Hokage." She offered. "But, if you are unable to do so after a week, you will not only have to quit your foolish ambition of becoming Hokage, but also quit being a ninja all together."
The Jinchuuriki's eyes widened at the possible consequences of the proposition presented to him. "Quit being a shinobi…?" The statement resounded in his mind.
Eyeing the spiky haired boy with a mix of mock and curiosity, the Sannin decided to nudge him. "What happened with the confidence from a second ago?" She questioned. "Ok, what if, in case you do manage to win, not only will I acknowledge that you have potential to become a Hokage, but I will also give you this." Surprising the pair of shinobi spectators, Tsunade presented her necklace to the genin. "My Grandfather's, the Shodai Hokage, necklace." The medic nin smiled at the look of surprise on the young man's face. "So, what do you say?"
Shizune walked the already familiar path through the forest near the village they were currently staying at. Entering the clearing for the fourth time that week, the black haired woman did not longer felt the urge to gasp in surprise at the sight that greeted her.
It seemed that an explosion had gone off in the center of the clearing. There were burned trees, broken trunks, and craters all around the blond genin lying on the ground.
"Naruto-kun, you better not be dead." The kunoichi state as she walked towards the young man.
After stirring a little on the ground, the Jinchuuriki forced himself to sit up. "Good morning, Shizune-san." The boy managed to get out.
The healer smiled at the Sharingan user. "It's already well into the afternoon." She informed and proceeded to watch the spiky haired boy curse in response and tried to get his already bruised and burned body off the ground. "Why don't you eat something before you start for the day?" The jounin offered as she revealed the bowls of ramen she had brought to the blond. Shizune had already realized that the young shinobi would simply ignore all the fruits and vegetables that she would bring him.
Giving in to his hunger, Naruto sat back down next to the medic nin and thanked her before going to work on the bowl of ramen.
As she watched the genin devour his food, Shizune did a quick scan of the teen's body, noting all the damage it had taken during such a short period of time. "Why are you so determined, Naruto-kun?" She asked. "Does the title of Hokage really mean this much to you?"
Putting the empty bowl down, the Jinchuuriki took a couple of seconds before answering. "Just a couple of months ago, I was infatuated with the idea of becoming the Hokage, so that the village would have no other choice but to acknowledge me." He started to explain. "But now, I've become disillusioned with the Leaf…"
Shizune could not help be reminded of her teacher by the Sharingan user's words. "Then, why…?" She asked again.
Naruto gave the kunoichi a small smile. "Because I still love the title and the idea of Hokage." He answered, surprising the medic nin. "And it is the only thing I have left, from the only one I had while I was growing up." He finished before standing up.
The black haired healer watched young Leaf nin gave her his thanks before turning around and walking towards the edge of the clearing. It had been five days since the bet with Tsunade had been made and the genin had yet to check in on the hotel, having spent the last four days straight in the forest training until he passed out. Part of Shizune wanted the young man's work to pay off, but the other feared for the boy because, if he was willing to go this far for a bet, how would his life as a shinobi be like?
The last twelve hours had completely sent Shizune's week to hell.
It all started when she walked into Naruto's training spot on the evening of the sixth day to find the blond lying unconscious and unresponsive in the middle of the clearing. The healer immediately put her medical abilities to use and, after doing everything she could at the time, brought the still lifeless genin back with her to the inn.
After locating an unusually pensive Tsunade so that she might be able to further help the young man, her teacher proceeded to knock her out. Shizune was awaken by, a surprisingly conscious, Naruto the next morning and the two immediately set off to find the Sannins.
Finding Jiraiya was as easy as walking out the front door, but seeing the white haired shinobi in the weakened state her teacher had left him in, the black haired woman had no choice but to reveal the whole truth about the proposition Orochimaru had made to Tsunade.
The three managed to locate the other two Sannin just in time to save the healer from Orochimaru's subordinate, Kabuto.
The fight that followed was inevitable, Jiraiya moved to deal with his former best friend, while Shizune and Naruto were left to make sure the bespectacled young man would not get near Tsunade. As soon as the white haired man gave the Snake Sannin his attention, the blond genin asked the kunoichi to leave Kabuto to him and to focus on defending her teacher. "Because, if I cannot deal with him, how can I stand against the real monsters out there." Had been the explanation that the spiky haired boy gave her.
Now, while the two male Sannin had work themselves to a stalemate, the medic nin had to watch horrified as broken and bloodied Naruto struggled to pull his body off the ground while a smirking Kabuto stood a couple of feet away.
All around the two young men was prove of their battle. Scattered flames, both normal and black ones, a couple of craters from Rasengans that missed their intended target, and the Sharingan user's blood marked their warzone. Yet, every time she tried to intervene, the blond boy would insist on been left to handle the situation alone.
"Wow, if this is my handy work, I would hate to see what one of those 'real monsters' would do." Kabuto's mocking words snapped Shizune out of her train of thought and pull her attention back to the battle.
Panting heavily, Naruto glared at the grey haired shinobi. "Damn you…!" The Jinchuuriki managed to bark out.
The blond threw a kunai at his opponent. Before the blade could reach its target, the Leaf genin set his Sharingan eyes on it, covering with black flames the explosive tag he had attach to it, and causing a sizeable explosion.
Knowing better, the spiky haired boy immediately looked up where the bespectacled young man had jump to avoid the explosion. Kabuto's body was currently falling towards the younger shinobi, the former Leaf nin's hands were already glowing with chakra, prepared to strike. With a quick sequence of hand seals, the blond raised a granite wall between him and his opponent, which the bespectacled shinobi proceeded to smash with his Chakra Scalpels.
As soon as Kabuto's face was visible to the granite rubble, Naruto sent chakra towards his eyes. "Amaterasu!" The spiky haired boy called out. Unfortunately, the moment that the medic nin's body was covered by the black flames, it detonated, causing a powerful explosion and sending the genin flying back.
"Naruto-kun, please stop this! You can't fight him!" Shizune screamed for the young blond to come to his senses.
Emerging from the ground, the spy observed his the effects of his attack. At the absence of any sign that indicated that the Sharingan user would back down, the smirk in the former Leaf genin's face widened. "Such tenacity at the face of certain death…" Kabuto started. "You certainly take after the late Sandaime Hokage, Naruto-kun." The gray haired man's smirk widened just as the spiky haired boy's eyes did. "Orochimaru tells me how the Third was so adamantly refusing to die, even when his former student's sword pierced right through him."
Shizune could have sworn that she heard something snap somewhere.
The moment after the words left the young man's mouth, Naruto was standing just a few feet from him with a Rasengan in his hand.
The blond was so preoccupied with ramming the Rasengan into his opponent, that he was barely able to notice when Kabuto grabbed his wrist and flung his body into the ground. Before Naruto could even think about kicking himself off the ground, the medic nin gave him a jab with enough force to burry the genin deeper into ground.
"Naruto!" Seen the black haired woman running towards him, the grey haired young man jumped to a save distance.
Not caring about what the young Sharingan user wanted, Shizune immediately started to administrate medical aid. "N… No, don't…" Were Naruto's first words as soon as he regained consciousness.
The healer refused to acknowledge the young man's request. When the genin tried to stand up, the kunoichi immediately placed a hand on his chest to hold him down. "You are done, Naruto-kun." She stated.
The Jinchuuriki moved a hand towards the jounin's and grabbed hold of her wrist. "Please, Shizune-san… Let me do this…" The boy requested once more.
"Stop it!" The shout caused both Naruto and Shizune to look back. Tsunade had shaken off some of her shock she had received from witnessing blood. "Don't you care about your own life?!" She questioned. "You'll accomplish nothing by getting yourself killed here!"
The younger blond remained silent for several seconds before he simply removed Shizune's hand off his chest and stood up. "I've made a promise, to both the person I love the most and the one I hate." The Sharingan user informed. "I promised them that I would never back down and that I will continue to keep stronger my own way until I could protect those I care about, how could I face them if were to give up now?"
The medic Sannin glared at the young man. "What's a stupid promise compare to your own life?!" She asked in anger and frustration.
"Because that promise is the reason I have to keep on living!" Naruto answered back. "As someone who has so little, I will not allow this to be taken away from me." He stated as he stepped out of the small crater that his body had made. "So long as I have my promise I'll know I haven't lost myself in the darkness and hatred that plagues this world." The young man firmly stated.
Both kunoichi sat in awe at the determination that radiate from the Leaf genin.
Setting his eyes on Kabuto, the Sharingan user brought his hands together.
Tiger, Dragon, Rat, Bird, Ox, Snake, Dog, Monkey, Tiger.
Everyone was able to feel the spike of chakra in the area. "I am Uzumaki Naruto, son of Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Kagome, and shinobi of Konohagakrue!" The blond declared as he extended his right arm and grabbed his wring with his left arm. "And this is the power I have acquire for the sake of those that got me this far and to protect the people who are precious to me!" Flames appeared in Naruto's right hand, immediately enveloping most of his arm. "Houyoku!"
This time, Shizune was sure that she heard something snap.
The flames danced gracefully, yet dangerously in the Jinchuuriki hand as his gaze fell solely on the grey haired medic. "I'm not going to lose to you, Kabuto." The spiky haired boy stated.
If the former Leaf shinobi was intimidated by his opponent's newest jutsu, he did not let it show. "You truly are an interesting specimen, Naruto-kun…" The young man commented. "After I kill you, I will personally dissect your body." He added.
The two ninjas immediately charged for one another. One's hands covering in chakra, while fire adorned the other's.
The confidence that he would never let the Katon jutsu touch him was so much, that the only thing that Kabuto could see where the vital points on Naruto's body where he was going to strike. It was already too late for the medic nin when he realized that the trail of fire his opponent was leaving behind had taken the shape of a giant wing.
"Aaargh!" With a thunderous roar, Naruto raised his hand and brought it down, causing the flame wing to rise and fall along, as though about to take flight, and rain down an inferno on a bewildered Kabuto.
A large explosion follow suit, swallowing the two shinobi.
The wait for the dust to settle was unbearable for Tsuande and Shizune. Finally, a form jumped out of the cloud and fell to the floor. The bespectacled man was almost unrecognizable with most of his body covered with severe burns. There was no sign of Kabuto getting back on his feet anytime soon.
When the dust finally cleared, Tsunade's eyes were able to discern the young Leaf genin standing before a sizeable crater. Naruto turned around and smirked at her. "By the way… I won the bet…" He announced before passing out.
Naruto suddenly sat up with a jolt. The Sharingan user immediately started to look frantically at his surroundings.
"Hey, hey, calm down." The blonde's head snapped towards the direction where the voice had come from. Jiraiya was setting in a bed next to the boy's with his writing material out. "You've been out of commission for over twenty four hours." He informed the genin.
The revelation caused the young man's eye to widen. "Then what about Orochimaru and Kabuto…?!" He asked quickly.
The legendary pervert laughed at the spiky haired boy's urgency. "Don't worry about that, we chase them away." The man answered before starting to laugh.
Slowly, Naruto forced his body and reluctantly lowered back down to the bed. "What now?" The Jinchuuriki asked.
Jiraiya jog down a couple of observations on his notebook before answering. "Well, as soon as we are fit to travel, we'll be heading back to the village."
The genin look at the white haired man from his bed. "And what about Tsunade and Shizune?" He asked.
"Oh, they're coming with us…" Was the short answer that the boy received. The look of confusion and surprised was hilarious for the Sannin, but nevertheless he decided to explain further. "It seem like your little show back there knock something loose inside Tsunade, or perhaps it knock something back to its rightful place." He commented before giving the young man a bright smile. "She's going back to Konoha to become the Godaime Hokage." The white haired man announced.
The genin remained silent for several seconds before his gaze left the writer and set on the room's ceiling. "I'm still not convinced that she's Hokage material…" Naruto commented, earning another bout of laughter from Jiraiya.
"I was beginning to fear you were not going to show up…" Okina commented as on a rest stop along a mountain trail.
"You know I would show up, as long as…"
Okina smiled. The graying shinobi reached into his inside pocked, taking out a sizeable amount of money and placing it next to him on the bench. The old man waited until the money was taken from its place before turning around. "It is good to see you again, Kakuzu-senpai." He greeted his fellow former Waterfall shinobi.
It was strange for a veteran and seasoned shinobi like Okina to gaze at his senior and se an essentially young ninja.
The Akatsuki member simply gave a nod to return the greet before going down to business. "You know that there is no much that I can tell you." The Missing nin stated.
"I know, I know." The bearded old man said. "You cannot tell me how Akatsuki's hunt for the Gobi is going or how the Sanbi managed to disappear from the radar." Okina commented. After a minute of silence passed between the two Missing nins, the youngest started again. "You can talk to me about what you have yet to do, like the capture of the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki." He offered.
Kakuzu's green eyes narrowed. "You are always interested in the fox's Jinchuuriki, why is that?" The bounty hunter asked.
The graying man laughed again. "Because, unlike you Kakuzu-senpai, I truly believe that this up and coming generation will surpass all of us." He commented. "And I am willing to bet that Naruto-chan will be in the frontlines of this new wave that is rising."
The black haired man remained silent at his kouhai's words.
"Anyways." Okina started again. "Tell me about Naruto-chan, what does Akatsuki think of him?"
A look of confusing was barely detectable in the Akatsuki member's eyes. "Nothing more than a target." He answered plainly.
It was Okina's time to look confused. "What? Akatsuki did not make any observation? Or maybe gage his abilities as a shinobi?" The younger man proposed, starting to become disappointed with the red cloud wearing organization.
Kakuzu's eyes narrowed. "When would we do that?" He asked. At the question, Okina's black eyes started to widen, and what came next confirmed his suspicions. "Akatsuki has yet to make any move on the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki."
