Capítulo 50: Surprise!
Chapter 49
Ryu groaned… This was troublesome. His team stopped in Takigakure, but it was literally in shambles, due to his fight with Saori, who had unfortunately managed to escape. It was quite a shame actually.
God help him… Wait… He was a God… How was he supposed to help himself in this situation?!
~~
Orochimaru smirked, as he looked at the figure in front of him, Danzo Shimura. A person who was really insane according to him. He wanted to be the 'guardian' of the village, yet was doing too many criminal acts just for his own greed.
His teacher truly was a fool, to believe that Danzo wanted the best for the village. The old man had reached up to him, wanting the snake to give him Hashirama's DNA, implanting it into Danzo's arm.
Why? Orochimaru had tried to ask the man that, but the scarred man refused to answer, telling him it was not his place to ask him about that. The snake was interested on how Danzo had found out his hideout, but he was also denied an answer there.
Orochimaru might not be evil, but he would undoubtedly not care if people died, as long as he got the results to his experiments, and Danzo… Was certainly an interesting experiment subject, he accepted Danzo's offer.
He might be a spy for Konoha, but that did not mean he had to report every move of his to his teacher. However… He'd do Konoha a favor for now, while he put the Hashirama DNA into Danzo's arm, he also secretly implanted something into it, so if he ever tried something against the Hokage, or Konoha it would explode, possibly taking his life.
You could call it his gift to Konoha,"Orochimaru-sama, The Fourth Hokage has sent a message for you."
"Hoh, Kabuto, leave it in my desk, I'll read it after I am finished with this… We'll see what that person has to say to us… Ah this is going to hurt, Danzo-kun."
"Aaaarggh!"
~~
Minato groaned, his son had just sent a letter to him, unfortunately due to an issue, he had to recall every Jounin, leaving his son's team alone, he thought Jiraiya would be with him, but he also returned with the Jounins.
The issue was simple, There were several organizations which were threatening Konoha's existence, and they were not weak ones either. He had estimated that each member was around High Chunin to Low Jounin Level.
'Are those people hired by the Akatsuki to create chaos… So we forget about them just for now? I don't know… What would the first or second do in this situation… I know! I'll just go ask The Third.'
Minato bit his lower lips, as he looked at Mina, who was looked at him with her eyes, beautiful eyes. The frown disappeared from his face, and an expression of happiness replaced it. "My beautiful princess."
Mina giggled,"Uhm… Hokage-sama… We are in a meeting…" A jounin said desperately with a sigh. Minato looked at with with an eye raised higher than the other,"So?" He replied with confuse.
"Why… Are you holding your… Daughter?" The jounin gathered all his courage and asked with a gulp.
"Is that a problem,Orogi-san?" Minato smiled sweetly, his sight never leaving the jounin's eyes who shivered,"No.. It's not a problem! Forgot it all!"
"Good."
~~~
Ryu sweated, when Fuu grabbed his arm, refusing to let him go, because she was extremely scared of what had happened recently. He could see the dried tears on her face, and he sighed,"At least wash your face, Fuu, there are tears on it."
The girl pouted looking extremely cute, and released his arm, proceeding to wash her face. She then immediately grabbed his arm,"Don't be stingy… Fuu, otherwise how can you become a kunoichi?"
Geez, she really was a kid, well she was 10 wasn't she? If Ryu was not an experienced shinobi, who… was over a thousand years old, he would probably be in the same situation as her, if this had happened to him.
Ken, who was literally next to the two smirked, Yato almost did the same, but seeing he was a Hyuuga, he still had some honor left inside of him, so he tried to hold it off, but failed badly at it.
"You wanna die, huh?!" Ryu threatened the two who immediately shut up, the last thing they wanted to do in their list was anger Ryu, it was one of the worst things you could do with your life.
The last time someone angered Ryu, he made is to their life was practically over. He pranked them so badly… That his own brother and mother literally told him that he had done a masterpiece!
His sister though, Yuki was not one who pranked, she was more like her father, calm. She was currently training with Tsunade, after she begged her to take her, Jiraiya was extremely annoying.
Ken snorted as he slightly retreated,'He's only getting cocky because he got a girlfriend before us… And he is only eight years old, that lucky bastard...Geez.' He thought, and Ryu could read his thoughts.
How did Ken realize that? Because the second after he thought that, he saw Ryu smirk visibly. It was an evil smirk. He felt like slamming a fist at his teammate and friend. Yato sighed,"Ken just leave him alone with his girl… I mean friend." He stopped half-way when he saw the glare Ryu sent him.
Team 7 had only seen a better glare by few people, which included Kushina,Minato(He could be extremely evil at times.),Anko and Kakashi, of course there were many more, but that was what they could come up with immediately.
Fuu smiled,"Don't tease him like that guys. By the way is Konoha near here?! I really want to see the Hokage Monument! Is the Ichiraku Ramen as legendary as they say in Takigakure?!" The rest sweated.
Ryu started to laugh, and the rest followed,"Don't worry, Konohagakure does have a lot of legendary places, and it's not that far, but don't do everything immediately, you first need to rest a bit."
Ch 50
Ryu smirked as he entered Konoha. Kotetsu yawned and waved at him, while Izumo just continued sleeping, earning a roll of eyes from all four visible people there. Ryu,Yato and Ken were now chunins, in the same level as Izumo and Kotetsu.
The moment they stepped inside Konoha, a team of Anbu appeared before them,"Ryu-sama, The Hokage requires your presence in his residence." Ryu looked at his teammates,"You can also take that lady with you, I'm sure the hokage wants to know more about her…"
The hokage's son nodded and he was shunshined together with Fuu, into his father's office. Minato was waiting for them, his desk clean of paperwork, he had finished them for the day it seems.
Minato looked up from his desk with black lines in his eyes, and if one looked into them, they'd see a bit of red in them. Ryu sweated,'He's been signing paperwork for ages, I guess I need to send more Wood Clones to help him.'
He recovered from his previous state and coughed,"Ryu… Welcome back! I just received the news your team became chunins! Congratulations, me and your mother are very proud of you, son!"
He then finally noticed Fuu and a smirk entered his face,"Who is this pretty girl next to you, my son? I didn't know you would become a playboy it seems…" Ryu slightly flushed red, a blush entering his face,"It's not like that!"
Fuu was almost in the same state,"What is your name?" Minato smiled sweetly,"Fuu…" He immediately frowned and patted her hair,'She's a Jinchuuriki… The Seven Tails is sealed inside her. Isn't she Taki's? What is she doing here…'
Minato removed his sight from his desk for the second time, and looked at the two,"Fuu, you can like in the Namikaze Uzumaki Compound for now, I'll tell Kushina to adopt you in the Uzumaki family too."
'I'd also adopt you in the Namikaze Family… But the two of you… Do like each other it seems, it would ruin my future plans.' He internally smirked, not sounding like the Fourth Hokage at all anymore.
Fuu and Ryu jumped in happiness and hugged each other, only separating after a deep cough from the Blond Hokage, they blushed, while Minato just chuckled and then slightly laughed.
Minato smiled weakly,'They are almost like … In love? Geez, Ryu you are too young for stuff like love… I didn't even propose to Kushina until we were almost 18, and we basically were dating for years before that.'
~~
Uzumaki Namikaze Compound
Kushina squealed and hugged Fuu, the moment she saw her, she was extremely cute. Those orange eyes… CUTEEEE!
Ryu and Minato just chuckled weakly,'Man… Thanks god she is not mad at me for sending Ryu to the Chunin Exams… She was mad at me for literally the entire duration of Ryu not being here!'
Minato thought.
'Geez… Thanks God she is not mad at me for going to the Chunin Exams… Judging by when she saw me at the Wave Mission… She'd definitely be angry… She'd butcher my entire body alive!'
Ryu Thought.
Kurai inside him snorted,"It's ironic, the great God Of The Infinite Paths is scared of a mortal, a descendant of your father of all people too! I must record this deeply into my memories."
Ryu rolled his eyes,'Yeah,yeah Kurai. Just shut up, you clearly haven't ever meet a person who is not as strong as you, yet emmits literally more killing intent than you, it's really terrifying, so shut the fuck up.
"Telling me to shut up, is basically like telling yourself to shut up. I was created because you were lonely… Did you forget? I'm basically your will." Kurai snorted, he was in his wolf form this time.
Minato noticed that his son was not focused, and hit him lightly, making him return his attention to the scene before them, Kushina crying at the story of Fuu, as a former jinchuuriki herself, she knew how she felt.
Ryu smiled weakly,'At least I can be sure she won't feel left alone.' Ryu felt like Fuu was just like his sister, which he never had before, that's why he felt a bit weird when around her. Yuki was his sister, but she literally had never bonded with him that much.
However… He also felt something much deeper…
The day passed quickly, Kushina loved Fuu dearly, she was just nice like that, and she even adopted her into the Uzumaki Family, it turns out she did have a bit of Uzumaki Blood, but it was barely traceable.
~~
27th August. Ryu's Birthday.
A special day one could say. Ryu turned 9 today. Ken had turned 9 in the 17th of February, while Yato would turn 9 in the 28th of November, so Ryu was the middle oldest of the three.
However, Ryu did not want to celebrate his birthday… It was time to train… And sure he'd take it seriously, VERY SERIOUSLY. After all, in his mortal form, he was almost defeated by Kisame Hoshigaki,while in his God Form he wouldn't even take his own mother seriously.
He really needed some serious training…
Let it start then.
~~
Ryu swung his fist at Ken, who gasped, this spar was literally sucking his soul out, Ryu was way stronger than him, however, that did not mean he was going to just surrender like that!
Suddenly, Ryu slammed his leg at Ken's stomach, making him cough,"You lost." Ken sighed,"Your taijutsu is far better than mine… I need to work on that department."
Yamato suddenly walked into this scene,"Ryu, we need to talk, your father and I have decided about something… A journey which might take around one week or two weeks to finish." Ryu's attention got absorbed.
Yamato's eyes flashed with a certain glint,"I'll tell you why we need to leave AFTER we go to your father. Hokage-sama needs to tell you several things beforehand." He said as both he and Ryu disappeared in a shunshin, leaving Ken alone, who just sighed.
"Guess I'll just go and pester Yato."
The boy shrugged and left the Training Ground 7, which was now covered by the lesser tree of the Shinju, Yggdrasil. It was the greatest creation Ryu had managed to do with his Wood Style as of yet.
Hashirama Senju would be proud of it, probably. His greatest creation had been the Forest Of Death… Which turned to be not so great, since it was infected with evil insects and monsters which killed people.
Ch 51
"... You will go to Orochimaru's hideout, he is the only person who can actually give your Wood Style an actual grade. That will be important if you need to increase your power further more than your current level." Minato said.
Ryu knitted his eyebrows. Orochimaru, he had little to no information about this man. Hiruzen said he was trustworthy, but he was a snake, a person who operated in the dark, who knew what he was possibly thinking.
But he could easily solve this…
'Infinite Paths - Omniscience`
Using his Infinite Paths, he instantly gained the memories if all Orochimaru's lackeys, and his personally. He realized that the snake was disgusting. He did not like using this path, because it could give him the memories of someone… evil.
He personally did not feel like going to this dude's hideout, especially when it was this much useless, a figure jumped inside from the windows, revealing gray white hair, which were so spiky, they defied gravity.
His headband covered one of his eyes, and he wore a mask over his mouth, he had an orange book in his hands, and he raised a hand as a greeting,"Yo."
"Kakashi…" Minato sighed. The jounin did a weird… eye smile? He looked at his sensei and said,"Why did you summon me here, sensei? Oh, Ryu, so it's about Orochimaru then, I guess?" He said.
"Oh, Then I need you to take Team 7 to a mission in Kumo, for diplomacy, you can take Shikamaru with you too, and also Asuma. I want you six to secure a good deal with Kumo, because our current peace deal is running out…"
Minato gave them a bit more details for the two missions, but more about the Kumo one, since it was far more important that Orochimaru. He motioned for Ryu and Yamato to leave, leaving only Kakashi.
"Kakashi, I need to talk with you about something." He said with a serious face. Kakashi's lazy face showed a bit of seriousness, which was extremely rare, albeit barely noticeable, but it was his way of showing it.
"It's about my new daughter." He said as he sighed, and looked at the shining sun and sky, outside. Kakashi looked at him, closing his orange book, and putting it in his pocket. " Fuu, is it?" He said.
"Yes, Kushina loves her, but we must still face the fact, she is not our jinchuuriki, I Don't even know why Takigakure has yet to notice her absence from their village… It's an extremely weird situation, I'd say." Minato said, his eyes never leaving the windows.
"It's as if some sorcery was done to them. Jiraiya-sensei thinks it's because Taki is scared of us, but I don't believe that for a single second, so I made him send his toads to spy on the village."
Minato said,"So what were the results, sensei? Was there any suspicious points to take of?" Kakashi asked with a hint of curiosity. "No… It was as if they did not know Fuu disappeared, sensei transformed into a random civilian and asked around, but they did not recognize any of the questions he gave them."
Kakashi's eyes widened,"... That oddly sounds like the jutsu used by Shisui, Kotoamatsukami. We can ask him about it." He said after he was in deep thoughts for a while. Minato nodded," I did as you just said, and he agreed with it. This seemed like it."
"However… What is even more odd, Takigakure was attacked just a month ago, by Akatsuki. Taki does not have any shinobi capable of stopping them, they said a boy with crimson hair and violet eyes stopped her." Minato said. Kakashi's eyes widened,"Ryu."
Minato nodded,"It was a shocking discovery, after some searching, we found out signs of 'Shinra Tensei' of the Rinnegan being used, further proving his identity. Now the problem is how he used Kotoamatsukami."
'He did tell me he had the Sharingan...But he only revealed the Basic Sharingan with two tomoes in each eye to me… He did not tell me he had the Mangekyou Sharingan.' Minato thought.
Kakashi nodded," I'll check him occasionally in our way to Orochimaru's hideout, maybe he'll reveal something, but can't you just talk to him sensei, he is your son after all?" His sensei, just chuckled," I will try to, but only after you guys return from that hell."
"I'm just scared he is hiding something bad from us… I don't want anything to happen to my son, so I can only trust you Kakashi, you are the strongest jounin Konoha has to offer. I want you to be my successor." Minato smiled, while Kakashi had an eye smile,"No way."
The Fourth Hokage chuckled," I figured you'd say so, Kakashi. You are free to leave for now." Kakashi nodded, pulled out his orange book and left, this time through the door instead of the window.
Minato just sighed,'Kakashi… Hopefully Ryu will be able to help you fix that broken heart of yours. It really pains me deeply to see my most talented genin and student to be in such a terrible state.'
~~
Orochimaru smirked as he finished the experiment on Danzo, his arm had changed to Hashirama's DNA. The old snake had a visible grin on his face,"With this… Not even Minato, that bastard will be able to defeat me!"
'I'll also add the several sharingans I got from the Uchiha I killed, it took a lot of time and patience to be able to get these few sharingans from the Uchiha Clan… Hopefully they are useful to me.'
He did not realize the hiraishin left at him by Minato appear and slightly shine, because it was inside his clothes. That hiraishin mark was a modified one, so it would also give Minato all of Danzo's memories.
Orochimaru noticed it but smirked internally,'Seems that all my actions here are being monitored through Danzo huh… If i do anything which shows that I am clearly betraying Konoha, it could lead to trouble for me.'
Ch 52
Kabuto entered the lab room, and looked at his lord, Orochimaru,"Orochimaru-sama, we have received news that Konoha plans to send a small team to visit you here. It's about the Fourth's son, Ryu. They want you to grade his Wood Style."
Orochimaru gained a snake grin,'Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze huh… I did read a file about him a few days ago, he is quite interesting, although he has no Bijuu or sharingan, he is an prodigy… and I do believe i was just sent an updated file of his recently.'
He nodded,"Kabuto… I want you to make everything look clean, and also please do give me the updated file of that boy… I do remember I had such a file sitting in my desk just today in the morning."
The gray haired man nodded,"I will, Orochimaru-sama, do you want me to hide Sound Five… Or no… I mean Konoha has not been informed of them?"
The Sannin chuckled, as Danzo wore his upper clothes again, he was checking his new arm, which was disgusting to say the least. " You should… But it won't escape their eyes if they sent a Hyuuga…"
Kabuto nodded.
~~
Ryu was thinking about why he was here in the first place. Around 15 years ago, he was contacted by his older brother, Hagoromo's soul, who begged him to check on Ashura and Indra's reincarnations.
At first, Ryu refused, because he was bored, and thought it would be a pain in the ass to even bother checking on them, but later, Hagoromo just wanted him to be there, no clear connection but just as a side support.
Thus, he accepted to be someone close to him, and what was better that being his own little cute brother? It was such a perfect plan, but Ryu was a few years too late… And messing up with time travel is always annoying.
However, he was slowly getting attached to everyone here, and it was getting harder and harder for him to keep the truth out. Honestly, he was a blank and boring person most of the time, he didn't have many friends.
After all, most people were scared of him, The God Of The Infinite Paths, the Otsutsuki feared him, and rarely contacted him, the Twelve Sages were scared of him to the point they never wanted to talk to him, and many other figures like the Six Kings Of Hell were too scared of him to even talk.
Ryu was powerful, that was true indeed. But he rarely, and RARELY ever told anyone about it. He did not get cocky about all power,because in a way, it was not truly his, it belonged to someone else, who passed it to him.
He was broken out of his thoughts by the son of the white fang, Kakashi who was eye smiling at him. " Ryu, we need to leave right now, Orochimaru typically changes his hideout every few months, we need to be quick if we want to catch up to him."
Ryu nodded as he put an anbu armor on, but it was not gray, it was black and red, and he did not put a mask on, he disliked having limited space to breath in. Kakashi and Yamato started to leave, and the boy followed.
"Orochimaru's hideout is believed to be about 79 kilometers away from Konoha, still in the Land Of Fire, but we need to be fast, Ryu what is your maximum speed you can reach right now for a long period of time?" Kakashi asked curiously,the boy answered,"It is about 200 to 250 kilometers per hour."
Kakashi nodded, and raised his speed to around 200 kph, Yamato did the same, and Ryu soon followed, he purposely made himself to look like he was slightly struggling, but he internally was yawning.
The three reached Orochimaru's hideout rather quickly, in less than half an hour. Ryu gulped,'He really reminds me of that dude from the Twelve Sages, did he call him the Serpent Sage or something?'
The Serpent Sage looked almost exactly like Orochimaru , it was very scary, was he perhaps the snake's father? That would be very logical… Ryu was broken out of his thoughts by the doors to the hideout opening.
The doors opened,and revealed two figures, Kabuto, and Orochimaru. Ryu slightly shivered, his mortal form showing it's emotions at its strongest. If he was in his God Form, he wouldn't even flinch, but he was still a kid in his other form.
Orochimaru hissed,"Welcome to my current home… I guess, make yourself feel comfortable, I assume you are here… For a certain reason, my old… friend, Tenzo and Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake."
The two people mentioned nodded, Kakashi walked forward, put his orange book in his pocket and looked at the snake," We are here under the orders of the Fourth Hokage, you are to grade Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze's talent in the Wood Style. We need to know if it is harmful to him in anyway."
Ryu shivered, if there was one thing he was scared of… It was snakes. ' I mean Cats are okay, seriously, they can only scratch you at most… But the way snakes look at you… It's very creepy!'
Somewhere in Kumo...
A certain Jinchuuriki sneezed,'Someone must be talking about me.' Another man looked at her and said,"What's wrong Yugito? You must continue your training with Bee, if you want to control The Two Tails."
"Yes,Raikage-sama."
Now, back to our favorite boy, Ryu.
He shivered, as Orochimaru touched his hand, he felt as if he was getting raped by an old man… Which was close enough, since Orochimaru was in his 50s, despite him changing his bodies every few years.
"This boy… His Wood Style is incredible! I need more time to have an exact description of it… But from what I can see there is no side-effect to it, it is even better and higher than that of the First Hokage!"
Orochimaru's slitted orange eyes were opened wide, he was surprised, this boy's Wood Style surpassed even that of the DNA he was working with, it was unfortunate he couldn't get his DNA as of now.
Hopefully, he'd receive a chance to get either way. It was wonderful, especially since he was a Senju too, perhaps he was more connected to Hashirama Senju, than his father, Minato Senju, perhaps.
Ch 53
Maybe in the future, he secretly hissed, earning another shiver from the 9 years old boy. Kakashi sighed,"Fine, we'll stay here for another week, but please do try to be quicker, we have a mission assigned to us for when we return to the village."
Orochimaru nodded, and looked at Kabuto, the man as if understanding what he wanted, immediately left the room, searching for something… Perhaps some tools to use in the situation?
'Maybe I'll find a chance to get some of his DNA while he is here, it would boost my wood style research a lot… but It's not worth angering the Fourth Hokage. Now what should I do…` Orochimaru thought.
Ryu snorted ,"I don't wanna stay here for too long, this snake dude is too creepy! He definitely is a phedophile!" Orochimaru frowned and hissed," I am not a phedo-" He was interrupted by Ryu," Oh yeah, then why did you touch me like THAT."
Orochimaru's frown deepened,"... I am not a PHEDOPHILE you brat! I've fucked more women than you have in your entire life!" Kakashi paled, this was not going how it was supposed to go, if Kushina learned of this…
"Fucked women? Ewww! You are disgusting!" Ryu was about to come up with something to roast Orochimaru, but he was a kid, so he was not supposed to think fucking and sex were something normal.
Kakashi frowned,"Orochimaru, please do not talk like that, I'm sure Kushina-sama wouldn't take it well to you corrupting her son, and I'm sure none of us want to see that sight in the first place,right?"
Orochimaru shivered slightly, if there was one thing the snake sannin was afraid of, it was the rampage of women. Tsunade and Kushina were among the top of it too, he was extremely afraid of any of the two.
Ryu smirked, and clasped his hands,"Wood Style - Wood Palm!" Wood bursted from the floor to create a palm which smacked Orochimaru across the room, the sannin hissing,"Why did you do that?"
"It's just payment, I'm pretty sure my mother would do something way worse than that if she knew what just happened here, right?" Ryu smiled sweetly.
The Sannin snorted,"Yeah,yeah." Yamato looked around, he found the lack of people weird,"Knowing you, I feel weird that your hideout is so empty, Orochimaru, what are you doing…?" He looked at him with wariness.
Orochimaru smirked,"Why? Are you afraid I'll kill you while you are asleep in my hideout,Tenzo?"
The jounin did not show any sign of emotion, remaining calm through all of this,"I am just afraid that you are trying to do something, which the fourth has not approved of." Kakashi did an eye smile and interrupted Yamato," There is no need to make a big deal out of this, I'm sure Orochimaru-san has a reason for all of this, right?"
The Snake Sannin smiled,"Of course there is a reason for all of this… It's just that none of you three are qualified to know it."
Kakashi frowned, his orange book was put into his pocket, and he looked at Orochimaru with a glare, which promised a lot of trouble if he did not explain what he meant fully. The sannin licked his lips.
"What will you make me do… Son of the White Fang? Fight me, we both know you can't defeat me." Kakashi sighed,"No, I won't do anything for now, but you need to bring us the results quick enough."
Ryu pouted,'I'll make sure he can't get even an ounce of my DNA, stinky snake, I hate snakes! I already had enough with that Serpent Sage, he was creepy as hell man!'
~~
Ryu used his God's Eyes, to spy on Orochimaru, most of the time the creepy snake was up to something, and it was amusing to see him think that no one knew of his plans, when there was a person spying on him all this time.
It seems he was planning to remove an extremely small dose of Ryu's blood from the amount he got, for experimenting, but the boy himself had other plans for his blood. He was going to replace it with another person's blood.
To be exact, that someone has poisoned blood, so if Orochimaru tries to use it on himself or someone else, they'd be poisoned and feel terrible pains and side effects, of course that blood is not his.
He sure did not want to be any of the people who tried to test that blood though, it was going to hurt, badly at that too.
~~
A week passed quickly, Orochimaru gave a paper to Kakashi who nodded and read it a bit before shaking his hands with the snake, and motioning for the other two to leave, the masked jounin soon followed.
They did not notice Orochimaru smirking,'I got his blood… Now I can test if it's far more useful than that of Hashirama's, maybe I can even tell Danzo about it, it could potentially be far better for the use of sharingans.'
Wood Style could lower the pain the Mangekyou Sharingan gave the users, it could also improve the eyesight ,but it still would hurt every time you used it unfortunately, but Ryu's was far better.
Orochimaru looked at Kabuto, and with a flick of his fingers, several gates opened around his hideout, and people walked out, which included the Sound Five,"Kimimaro I might have something which could heal your unknown disease."
Kimimaro coughed and nodded. "As you say, Orochimaru-sama."
~~
Ryu smirked,'I feel sad that the last of the Kaguya Clan has to die so soon… Well at least it'll teach Orochimaru not to mess up with Ryu Otsutsuki… No Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze!'
They returned to Konohagakure rather quickly, having received the results from Orochimaru, Yamato and Kakashi immediately left for the Hokage, but Kakashi did indeed feel like being lazy, and being late.
However, a single mention of Kushina from Yamato, made him think otherwise. Even the Copy nin was scared of her, he still remembered when he was a kid, and Kushina used to beat him regularly for reading Icha Icha.
Ch 54
Ryu groaned, as he felt something heavy on top of him, suddenly he remembered why he was in this position anyway. It all began with a certain Toad Sage… Or also called Ero-Sennin, a far better name.
He had reunited with his brother, and the two found Jiraiya peeking… At the Hot Springs, AT women to be exact. His sister, Yuki was taking a bath there, and she WAS not happy at all, her godfather was peeking at her BATHING.
Her crimson hair were split in nine bangs, and each waved in the air, her eyes shining with a white glow. It was a very scary sight, if not for the fact she WAS naked. Ryu kept his eyes closed all the time, and so did Naruto.
Jiraiya smirked, and was about to properly introduce himself to Ryu, who he had not seen in ages, after receiving a large beating,"You pervert!" Hearing the introduction, the boy shouted,"I'm not a pervert… I'm a Super Pervert!" Naruto rolled his eyes, Ryu smiled slightly.
"You are interesting, old man! I'll call you Ero Sennin from now on!" Jiraiya gasped,"What! Call me Jiraiya-sama, not that weird title you fool." He exclaimed as he grasped his heart, as if he was hurt.
Naruto smirked,"Seems everyone calls you that, Ero Sennin!" He had called Jiraiya the same, several years ago, when the two had first meet. Kushina also called him Ero Sennin, so did Yuki, and soon Fuu probably.
"So you brat became a Chunin huh, when I was your age I was also a Chunin, muahahah! Like godson like godfather it seems!" The others sweated,'We are pretty sure the sentence does not go like that,Ero Sennin.'
"I am awesome, just like that! Besides, Ken and Yato also managed to become Chunins, for the contribution in the war between Iwa and Kiri… Which still is weird, why did Kiri even attack Iwa in the first place…?" Ryu muttered the last sentences.
"That was really weird 'ttebayo!" Naruto exclaimed,and almost slapped himself when he let out his famous 'dattebayo' which he had gotten from his mother, 'dattebane'. Thankfully Ryu and Yuki had not received it, much to Kushina's happiness.
Jiraiya sighed," I sent my toads to check the situation in Kiri ,but they were also very confused, the Revolution, lead by Mei Terumi was very confused, but they did not wait to react, and took over Kiri with the absence of Yagura. They stopped the civil war."
Mei Terumi, former teammate of Zabuza Momochi, Ryu noted in his brain. Zabuza was technically his 'lackey' or rather a person he employed to work in Kirigakure. He felt that he was not worth killing, and his value was far bigger alive.
He had left a Soul Clone to talk to him and that other chunin from Kiri, Haku. Both of them were former Missing Nins, but it seems Mei had made Haku a chunin again, while Zabuza was fully recognized as part of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and a Jounin.
When he had received the memories back from his Soul Clone, he had seen that his plan had worked perfectly, he gave Zabuza new jutsus he could potentially use to increase his power, of course his Soul Clone was under a henge, who'd believe a kid?
His soul clone had created a hidden underground organization, which ran several casinos, hotels and several more stuff, basically it was the lord of the underground world in Kirigakure, since it was filled in chaos.
He called the organization, [The Elemental Dragons] which basically was aimed to rank the top five members: Wind,Fire,Water,Earth and Lightning.
Each of the top five members specialized in each element, and were around the level of a high jounin each. Kirigakure had done several attempts to make a few deals with them, since they were weakened, but they had ignored every each one of them.
It had been a pain in the ass to make each member join, especially when he had to search all over Kirigakure, and even in surrounding villages for suitable members for the organization. He could proudly say each of them could give Kakashi a hard time.
The combined power of the five probably could defeat Jiraiya, if he took it easy from the beginning, and did not have much knowledge about the five, which was natural, since they were almost unknown.
~~
Ryu yawned, it had been an entire month since they returned from the Iwa Chunin Exams, an entire week since they returned from Orochimaru's hideout. Today was the day he ,Kakashi, Ken,Yato,Shikamaru and Asuma would leave for Kumo.
Usually Minato would chose far more suitable people for the job, but they had a lack of shinobis in the village, and by sending Asuma… He hopefully thought they'd reach some kind of a deal, since he himself couldn't leave the village that easily.
While Asuma typically was as lazy as a Nara, he was also smart, it was also the same reason he sent Shikamaru, he wanted to just send the boy's father, but he was needed here in Konohagakure.
He groaned,'Just please… Do not mess up the mission,Kakashi… I trust you, I don't want another war with Kumo, especially since their Raikage has a really difficult jutsu to deal with in a fight.'
He called all six people to the room, Asuma and Shikamaru were yawning loudly, seems they just woke up, while Team 7 were ready… Kakashi… He… Where was he?!
"KAKASHI!" Minato roared loudly as he used the Hiraishin to teleport to the perverted shinobi, and bring him to his office in the Hokage's Residence. The man was reading his orange book, and sweated when he saw Minato.
"Anyway… Since all SIX of you are here, I am going to tell the description of the mission again. Do not forget, while it is a Diplomacy Mission, you can also use this chance to learn something about Kumo, that's why Team 7 is coming with you three."
" I suggest you are careful with what you say, as the Raikage is very well known for his temper… I'd try to not anger him a lot. Asuma, I leave it up to you to secure the best deal for Konoha which is possible."
Ch 55
Kumogakure.
"Huhh?! The Hokage won't come to Kumo?! Instead some little brats and three jounins are going to come?! Does Konoha underestimate the power of Kumogakure!" A, The Fourth Raikage growled.
He smashed his fist into his desk, making the others sigh,'That's the third desk for this week we have to replace.'
Darui sighed,"Raikage-sama, I'm pretty sure it's because The Fourth Hokage is too busy with his paperwork…" At the mention of paperwork, the Raikage shivered, as a rather not that smart person, he struggled with all that work.
If there was anything which connected every Kage, it was their complaints to paperwork, seriously why did they have to do so much paperwork?! They couldn't even pass it to other people, because they deemed it to serious, and if they made a mishap, there could be serious consequences.
His partner, C rolled his eyes,"The Konoha Dogs sure know how to piss us off, really? Sending a team of chunins and a team of jonins here?! Raikage-sama, we need to really make that the deal is majorly in our favor."
"I'll make it so they experience hell in this meeting… Extreme hell." A grinned,"That blond man thinks it's easy to deal with Kumo Shinobis, I'll show him who is the true powerhouse here!"
~~
Asuma looked at the road before them,"Kakashi… Should we rest? I mean Kumo is around two to three months worth of travel away from here, there is no point in going faster than we are right now."
Kakashi removed his eye from the new Icha Icha Paradise Book and nodded," I think that our three chunins are a bit tired." However, that was not really true. Contrary to what they believe, Shikamaru was barely better than any of the three in terms of chakra control.
The Nara was almost falling asleep,'Urgh… I only slept nine hours before starting in this mission… I've decided, the moment we enter Kumo, I'll find a suitable place to look at the clouds, troublesome.'
~~ Some Cancerous Shit ~~
Ken smirked,'I'm finally getting some time in the fanfiction again! Take that, Author, you have finally recognized me for the great person I am! Muhahahah!'
Unknowingly to the rest, Ken had broken the fourth wall with his Susanoo and learned about the real world, and had threatened the author with murder if he did not include him in the next chapter.
Of course, now back in the Fanfiction world, Ken was confident he'd receive much more words dedicated to him, the strongest shinobi in the world, or so he thought… NO ONE DENIES THE AUTHOR!
FACE THE AUTHOR HAMMER!
~~ Back from that stupid cancerous shit ~~
Yato had reached the chakra reserves of a mid jounin, while Ken had the reserves of around the same. Yato had reached a level where he wouldn't find it hard to awaken Hamura's Chakra, but it was not wise to do it at the moment.
Ken, had a better Chakra Control than Yato, but he had a bit less Chakra than Yato, however that chakra was an extremely little difference, so it did not really matter much. Ryu, was in a whole different level when compared to his Chunin Friends.
He had chakra comparable to 5 kages, control comparable to a kage, and had several B rank jutsus under his belt right now, he also knew 3 A Rank Jutsus, an advanced form of [Water Style - Water Dragon Jutsu] called [Water Style - Twin Water Dragons Jutsu],[Rasengan] and an advanced form of [Wind Style - Great Breakthrough] called [Wind Style - Grand Wind Breakthrough].
The last jutsu required immense chakra control and chakra reserves to pull off, and lasted for a minute. It contained several million wind molecules, which if you were not careful, could cut you into small pieces.
It was basically like his brother's [Wind Style - Rasenshuriken] just in a much larger area, and required way less focus to pull off, and was not Chakra Manipulation, but basically pulling wind from all sides.
It was extremely destructive, and was one of his proudest creations, nearing S Rank, but because it was practically hard to pull, and was just a lesser version of the Rasenshuriken, it was just A Rank.
He had tried to do a lot to increase its power, but limited by his Mortal Form, it always remained such. However, there was still a trick left in his book. Mixing elements with it. Particularly, he could use wind to increase the power of fire, and rain something equivalent to several Great Fire Destroyers jutsus on the enemy.
That was definitely S Rank, as it mixed two affinities together, wind would cut wounds into the enemy, while the fire would triple the wound and it's pain, it was extremely effective, he could also mix lightning there, and it would probably be seen in the same light as some of the strongest jutsus.
He was confident that it could instantly kill any Kage, if caught off guard, combined with his [Wood Style - Gaia's Presence] and it's 2nd form and rinnegan, he'd probably defeat a kage without much trouble.
It also of course, depended in which Kage we were talking about. When used on Onoki, he was old, so if he was caught off guard there was a high chance he'd either die or be in extremely high damage.
If done to the new Kazekage, the Jinchuuriki of the One Tail, Gaara, there was a high chance I'd also succeed if used with Lightning, and catching him in surprise, otherwise it would be a very difficult fight for both sides.
If used on the new Mizukage, Mei, it would probably succeed due to her being mainly attack oriented, and less focused in defense.
If used on his father, it would be troublesome and probably fail unless he could somehow limit the use of the Hiraishin, but he had no reason to use such a jutsu on his father in the first place, anyway.
And if used on the Raikage, A it would probably not work due to his extreme speed, but if he built a prison using the earth style, there was a high chance he wouldn't be able to escape the attack.
But in each scenario, only Minato, the Fourth Hokage would escape with little wounds on his body.
Ch 56
Kumogakure was a very large place, it kind of reminded Ryu and Team 7 of Iwagakure, because it was literally situated in tall mountains, with the Raikage's residence being in the biggest one in the middle.
Seriously, the places looked oddly enough, the same, the only difference was that Iwa was built on top of mountains, while Kumogakure was built IN the mountains, and literally in a way higher height than Iwa.
Kumo was also extremely grand for a village which was known for their military. The walls to the entrance of Kumogakure, were smaller than those of Iwa, but they were covered in various colors.
Two people were in front of then, a girl with dark skin and red hair, which he assumed was Karui, he got the info from using his God's Eyes, and a boy who also had dark skin, but white hair. He also knew his name, Omoi.
"Here are the Konoha Shinobis… What if my smell disgusts them, and they think Kumo are disgusting, and this affects the entire diplomacy mission we and them have with each other…" He paled.
The rest sweated, as Karui snorted,"Even if they do, who cares? We can just destroy them, Kumo is far stronger than Konoha anyway, they can't even deal with their own missing nin, like Orochimaru, was it?"
Ryu smirked,this was noticed by Karui who exclaimed,"The team of Chunins Konoha brought, are just brats! Not only can't they manage their own shinobis and kunoichis, but even kids become shinobis? How low."
The God Of The Infinite Paths innocently said,"I'll fuck your pussy, you fucking horny bitch, I could smell you from Konoha, and I was wondering from where that smell was coming from." Karui's eyes widened, but the others were not really reacting to it.
Then Omoi started to laugh loudly,"The kid just roasted you Karui!" The redhead just looked at her teammate as if he was crazy, the boy just basically called her a bitch, and he was laughing at her?
Actually, Omoi could not be blamed, Ryu had used his ability to say something, which only Karui herself had heard, and he actually said something else to the others, obviously, it was also quite funny, this is what he had said to the others :
" Our Missing Nin are not causing any chaos, so why bother dealing with them? Konoha have more problems than just chasing after their Missing Nin… Like actually fucking trying to do their job of taking care of their fucking guests properly!"
Ryu then smirked to himself,'Not to mention Konoha has 7 Kage Level Shinobi, how many does Kumo even have? My brother is also a Kage Level Shinobi, but he isn't recognized as of yet, so I won't consider him one for now.'
What he was thinking, was true, Konoha had seven Kage Level Shinobi Minato ,Itachi(EMS) ,Kushina, Tsunade,Jiraiya,Hiruzen and Kakashi. The teacher of Team 7, was not weak, despite his reputation outside Konoha right now.
The son of the White Fang had trained under his teacher again, and had improved terrifyingly, even awakening Mangekyou Sharingan, and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, with the transplant of Obito's cousin's eye, a fallen shinobi, who had died in the Third Great Shinobi War, who also happened to have the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Naruto, was also Kage Level, due to his Perfected Sage Mode form. Jiraiya didn't have much to teach Naruto, since he already knew the Rasengan and many jutsus, so he basically just taught him a few more jutsus and Sage Mode.
This meant Naruto had perfected and trained the Sage Mode for around 2 years now, he had also found a way to use the Sage Mode even further, using shadow clones instead of toads. That happened due to the Kyuubi, Kurama refusing the chakra of the Toads.
It had taken two years, but Naruto had also mastered every Sage Art the toads threw at him, and even created several of his own. He was almost at the same level as his father, if not even higher than any previous Hokage, after Hashirama of course.
No one could be a match to the First Hokage, who had the Wood Style, which allowed him to fight the strongest Uchiha of all times, besides Indra Otsutsuki head on, and win the fight, while Madara was supported by the Nine Tailed Fox, Kurama.
He also could use the Sage Mode, albeit it was still weaker than the Sage Mode used by Naruto, the boy had mastered Sage Mode beyond what Jiraiya could even perceive of with his current mastery.
But, back to the point,Kakashi did not appreciate the amount of swear words he had included in his sentences, and received a smack with his orange book,"Kushina-sama would really teach you a lesson,Ryu."
Asuma then looked at the boy and exclaimed,"Where did you even learn such a word,Ryu? I'm sure your mother and father would be interested on… talking to that person for hours." Ryu looked at them innocently and whistled.
"I heard Ero-Sennin say that when he was peeking at the Hot Springs before we left Konoha say that… If I remember correctly he was complaining about my father, something about him restricting him access to the Hot Springs,"No one can stop me from getting my research about 'fucking'! Not even Tsunade can, you stupid blond student of mine." He even had a stupid smile on his face.
Asuma and Kakashi sighed at the same time together,"We need to go and visit Jiraiya-san after this, it'll be probably the last time we even see him in person. We need to lament the fall of another man to a death god, who is strangely a woman."
Shikamaru sighed,he was familiar with scary women, like his mother and Temari,"Geez, troublesome, can you just let us pass, or are you here to guide us to the Raikage?" He asked Omoi and Karui, the latter who was still fuming and glaring at Ryu.
"Damn brat… Wait until I get my hands on you." Karui, whose face turned red, looked at Ryu, as he entered the village behind them, and quickly removed his glare, he would take care of the boy later.
No one messed up with her like that and faced no consequences, she was a proud kunoichi. She wouldn't let someone make her feel so ashamed and just go away like it was nothing… She sweared on her name that she'd make him pay.
Ch 57
Jiraiya back in Konoha felt a shiver,'Something terrible is going to happen to be soon.. I think I probably should just leave Konoha for a while now, the brat Naruto does not require me any longer for his Sage Mode, and I taught him all I can.'
'Besides my Research needs more… time to reach a new book for. I'm sure my fans want the new book to be out as fast as possible' He had a lewd smile visible on his face, and he started to laugh weirdly, this resulted in him being caught peeking at the Hot Springs, and beaten.
Jiraiya felt something was wrong… Which was another reason he wanted to leave Konoha, there was probably someone who wanted to beat him, probably a woman he peeked upon recently.
That probably was it… He took all his research and immediately left the village, leaving Minato confused, but he also understood,'He probably felt like he angered someone, and wanted to leave before facing the consequences.'
Jiraiya was close to the gates of Konoha, when he suddenly stopped on track, looking around,'My pervert senses are reacting, a beautiful girl is near here… And I the Toad Sage, the Super Pervert won't miss it!'
He shivered again, and in front of him stood an unfamiliar green haired girl, with orange eyes. He smirked,'She is going to become a very beautiful woman in the future… Look at those developing curves.'
He had a lewd smile, Fuu immediately noticed the look on his face and her face darkened,"P...PERVERT!" She shouted as the nearby people instantly reacted,"YOU, how dare you defile such a young girl!"
Jiraiya was surrounded by the hoard of civilians and sweated,'What a terrifying girl…' He received a massive beating, and none of his hiding skills could save him from his fate, and it was forbidden for shinobis to hurt civilians without a reason.
Fuu smiled sweetly,'That's what you deserve, pervert… Now what is Ryu-kun doing… I miss him. He promised me he'd play with me today, and he's not even in Konohagakure anymore!" She pouted.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Fuu, Yuki. When they had introduced Fuu to Naruto and Yuki, the two had liked her immediately, since Naruto was also a jinchuuriki, and because Yuki always wanted a younger sister, now she had two!
"Let's go shopping!" Yuki smiled softly as she patted Fuu, who was smiling heavily,'Thanks Ryu… You made me realize how important family can be to one… I am extremely happy now!'
~~
Kumogakure - Raikage's Office
A released steam from his nose, as the jounin in front of him, Asuma declared that they were here for a long lasting peace deal between the two countries. A then smirked,"It seems that Konoha is not really up to their former glory… sending three jounins to this mission only."
Shikamaru sighed,"We are here for peace only, Raikage-san, if you want a battle, I'm sure our Hokage would oblige for a spar, but Kumo and Konoha have been in peace for almost two decades, why ruin it now?"
Darui decided to interrupt," No need to be so hard on each other, Raikage-sama, let's just discuss this calmly… Although… Does Konoha have someone with the qualification to sit on that chair, I wonder?"
Kakashi made an eye smile,"I might not be as strong as the Raikage, but I certainly am qualified to be a Kage… Nonetheless, I think I qualify in sitting in a chair of all things which should be discussed right now."
Shikamaru had a slight frown on his face,'They are trying to gain land from us… Kakashi-san… Please do not surrender to them, while we are indeed inferior in terms of numbers, we need to save respect for us!'
A was not the type for politics, but he had men who were clearly capable of it,C interrupted the discussion,"This chair gives you a lot of power, Kakashi-san, the power to talk to a Kage, with the same rights, is one of them."
Kakashi chuckled,"I take that, you don't think I am qualified right?" He received a nod from everyone there,"How can I prove that I, indeed am Kage Level Shinobi?" At that, Darui smirked.
Mabui interrupted everything,"I'm sure he can prove his quality, he is an elite jounin from Konoha after all, I'm sure their quality… has not fallen that low, am I right,Kakashi-san?" She said with a calm face.
Kakashi smiled sweetly," I can prove it by having a spar with Raikage-san here, would you agree with it, I'm sure you are itching for a fight with me." The Fourth Raikage, A grinned,"Sure."
~~
The two groups had reached what seemed to be a very flat mountain, which was covered in ancient looking walls,"This is what we Kumo Shinobis and Kunoichis use to train in, let's see how you can fight here…"
Kakashi eye smiled," Don't worry about how I can fight here, I believe I can make quite a difficult fight your you, Raikage-san."
The two took a stance and the battle started… Unknowingly to the two sides, Ryu had sneaked off, exploring Kumogakure, because it was indeed quite beautiful, it also had several powerful shinobi.
Which included, Yugito Nii, the jinchuuriki of the two tails, Samui, a powerful shinobi who was trusted by The Raikage, Killer Bee, the jinchuuriki of the eight tails, who was also known for his eccentric attitude.
Of course, from them only Killer Bee was actually a Kage Level Shinobi, and the only Kage Level Shinobi Kumo had were Killer Bee,A and Darui(Pure Guess). When put against Konoha's 7, it was not even a fight anymore.
It was quite sad,because Konoha was slowly overpowering every other hidden village. Kiri had only Mei… And possibly Zabuza if one wanted to stretch the line a lot, Suna had the Fourth Kazekage,Gaara and Chiyo, who was an experienced puppeteer and Meizo, her brother.
The last of the five villages, Iwa, only had Onoki. The total Kage Level Shinobi in other villages was only 8, or 9 at max. Some were not even considered at a such high level, so the total was around 5-6 at most.
Konoha had entered their Golden Age.
Ch 58
Ryu sighed, it was a stressful day for him, Kumo was a foreign land, and the person in front of him did not make it easier at all. Killer Bee, Jinchuuriki of The Eight Tails, one of the two Tailed Beasts of Kumogakure was in front of him.
"Yo,yo, I'm Lord Eight, Killer Be, You can call me Lord Jinchuuriki, I'm the best world rapper~, A Kumo Shinobi, the best in the field, Ya fool!"
His rapping was … Bad. "Seriously, man? You trying to impress a kid by rapping? You are lame." Ryu said with a snort, as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, clearly not impressed by the man.
"It's Lord Eight to you, You shorty, Ya Fool!"
Ryu rolled his eyes and just left, but Killer Bee was not really planning to let him go, he was planning in 'teaching what true Rap was', but he just disappeared in a burst of speed, leaving the jinchuuriki behind.
~~
The Raikage was a stubborn man, he only gave Konoha a five years peace treaty after a week of fighting for the treaty to be extended as much as possible. It seems Kumo did not trust Konoha.
The diplomatic team had to return to Konohagakure with a disappointed expression on their face, there was not much more they could do to improve the deal, of course Ryu could use his powers to extend the deal, but there were not many reasons as to why to do such an act.
Minato had to just let it go, despite him really feeling annoyed. Kakashi had spared with A, the Raikage, and even evenly fought with him for quite a long time. He did feel proud for his student here, but the treaty was still too short.
"In five years, Naruto will be only around 20 to 21,Yuki will be the same age, and Ryu will be 14 to 15, Mina will only be 5… But still Kumo won't be able to scratch Konohagakure at all, we will show them our might."
He ruffled his hair, almost pulling it out, and looked at Asuma,"You did all you could, I cannot blame you, 5 years is already a lot more than what I expect you to get, we had to sign so many treaties years before to assure us of peace."
Shikamaru looked a bit troubled,"You also did your job, Shikamaru, your father is proud of you, I'm sure I don't have to tell this to you, my decision to promote you to Jounin was indeed not a wrong one."
He seemed to ease up a bit after what the Fourth Hokage, Minato said, Team 7 didn't really care about what he said, since they were only there for sightseeing and not participating in the mission.
"So?" Minato looked at team 7 who were slightly confused, why was he looked at them as if he was expect something from them, only Ryu was eased up, because he was the one to yawn and start talking, the two others just looked at him and gawked.
"I explored Kumo at my free time, Hokage-sama, and I was frankly,disappointed." Ryu took a breath, and witnessed the surprised look from his teammates from the mission, it seems they also had a job in this.
"With my research, I saw that Kumo has only two Kage Level Shinobi, Killer Bee, the jinchuuriki of the Eight Tails, Gyuki and the Raikage himself, A. The two can be considered quite strong for kages. However there is a 90% chance that Kumo will fall to an invasion from Konoha."
"The walls of Kumo are strong, but with a few ninjutsus made of fire, they could possibly fall quite easily to an invasion. 5000 Shinobis should be enough for that invasion, but we need to be quick." Ryu finished.
"However...Let's hope an invasion is not required, after all Kumo could potentially be a very valuable ally to Konohagakure… If they let their past grudges about the strongest hidden village to vanish."
Minato smiled sweetly,"Okay, that is enough. Seems you did your mission splendidly. I am proud of you. You are all free to leave now." The six left with a quick bow to the hokage, they were tired and wanted their rest.
~~
Kushina smiled, as Ryu entered the home which was shared by the Uzumaki Namikaze family. She was holding the small Mina on her hands, and played with her, giving her toys and singing songs.
"Welcome Back Ryu." She said, her other sons and daughters had left for different missions, and all she could do is dote Fuu and play with Mina, who was more than glad to use her mother's time.
Ryu smiled,"Hello,Kaa-chan."
The Uzumaki Namikaze Family was reunited.
~
Orochimaru hissed,"There is something wrong with the blood I got from that little brat… It did not even do good to Kimimaro, instead he is weaker than ever! It seems his disease only progressed further."
Kabuto frowned,"Orochimaru-sama, but you tested the blood personally before using it! It had no side effect… It was supposed to be even more effective than that of The First Hokage's…. So why?"
The snake snorted,"Seems this blood is tainted… Maybe it's a side effect of having both Senju and Uzumaki blood, I also did notice a very small amount of Uchiha blood, which could be the reason."
Kabuto snorted,"Cursed Uchiha, that just weakened another pawn of yours, Orochimaru -sama… What are we going to do now? Surely we won't just allow Danzo to walk out like that?"
"Don't worry about Danzo, the old fool thinks he can defeat me in a game of intellect, does he think that just because he is older than me, he has more experience than me?! I'll show him." He hissed.
~~
Danzo coughed blood,'The DNA of Hashirama-sensei is indeed hard to control… I do not even have nearly enough sharingans to proceed with my plan, but it seems I have to fasten it… I need an ally before I attack Konoha!'
Several ROOT members appeared before him, and he coldly exclaimed," I want Sai before me, I have a mission for him." Danzo had secretly still operated the ROOT organization, merely in the shadows, where Minato would not hear much about it.
ROOT at the current state did not really do much, because if the hokage heard about it, it could have destructive effects on Danzo, and he did not want that.
Ch 59
Fuu pouted heavily,"You promised you'd spend the day after the mission in Kumo with me,Ryu!"
'She's extremely cute… I can't refuse her..' He gulped and slightly sweated,"Sure… Where do you want to go, Fuu-chan?" The adorable jinchuuriki smiled sweetly, and said,"Let's go to Ichiraku's!"
It seems she had also fallen to the joys of Ramen… Ryu smirked,"Let's go then." He did have a lot of Ryo, so why not waste them on some Ramen, money was never a waste when used on Ramen!
Fuu's smile widened," I want to eat a lot of Ramen today, Ryu! It's your turn to pay for me to eat." Ryu sweated,'I've been paying for your food every time we leave… Stop saying it like you pay me all the time.'
~~
Ichiraku Ramen
Ayame looked at Ryu with half closed eyes, a curious expression visible on her face, the boy himself, was blushing heavily at the glare she was sending him, then suddenly she smirked,"You've grown it seems…"
Teuchi was not there, as he was in the kitchen making Ramen, but he also had a slight smirk on his face, he could hear what they were discussing about, and he… could easily see the look Fuu sent Ryu, and Ryu sent to Fuu.
They both ate several bowls of Miso Ramen, the favorite of the Uzumaki Family in Konoha, and the total bill reached something which Iruka would cry over, 30000 Ryo. That was a lot for him, and it would most likely give him pains forever.
"Monsters…" Ayame gawked,'Seriously, that almost drained a third of our total reserves… The Uzumaki love Ramen a lot, don't they?'
Ryu burped accidentally and covered his mouth, earning a chuckle from both Ayame and Fuu, he then apologized for his manners. "It's just that the Miso Ramen, and Ramen here is amazing!"
~~
The rest of the day passed in a very quick manner, and just because he spent the day here, did not mean he did not have someone to train for him, he used a Soul Clone to go to the Training Ground 7 and practice his new ninjutsus on another dimension.
Yggdrasil was an extremely large tree, one could say, and due to it's beautiful sight, it had become a spot for tourists, of course it was also extremely dangerous to normal civilian, so every time they entered the training ground, they'd have to be followed by several Jounins.
It was going to be visited by the Daimyo soon, it was supposed to be kept a secret, but everyone already knew about it through some unknown ways, thus the Daimyo was going to be guarded by Kakashi and Itachi, two Kage Level Shinobi.
Around two months later was the date when the Daimyo would visit, thus there was still time to prepare for his visit.
Team 7, who were chunins already, were assigned to protect the Daimyo from behind, over 15 shinobi, who created 5 teams of 3 were ordered to protect him, thus this could be considered a B Rank Mission.
The three chunins were the best choice for this mission, due to Yato's Pure Byakugan, which basically gave them insight into any enemy inside 50 kilometers and because Ryu and Ken were chakra sensors.
If they were to attack the Daimyo, the group would be already prepared for anything which would come, and would have an advantage. Not to mention Itachi and Kakashi, who would effortlessly deal with any enemy
~~
Yato panted heavily, he could feel an incredible pain coming from his eyes,'It can't be a side effect of the Pure Byakugan… I mean it's pure! There should be something else.' He was internally panicking.
The pain continued for several minutes, eventually stopping a hour later. He took a deep breath, he could feel the sweat which was all over his body, his face was very pale, he neared the closest mirror and saw the change to his eyes.
"What...Is This?" His eyes were now the Tenseigan, blue and white, which mixed with each other in a beautiful manner, and it seemed to perfect..,'Tenseigan.' A thought entered his mind, immediately after he said that.
All it's abilities,history,effects,power and everything else entered his mind, it was calm, his brain did not hurt at all, it came to him naturally, as if he always had that knowledge inside him. He liked it.
He could feel his strength soar, to a level he had never imagined before… Just how strong had he become? As strong as Ryu, perhaps. He'd have to test his power against his soon, he would,yes…
"Yato, come down and eat dinner!" He heard his mother's voice, and smiled,"I'm coming down now, Kaa-chan, in a minute, just way a bit." He replied, and his eyes turned to the usual Hyuuga eyes.
~~
Ryu took a deep breath, and faced the sight in front of him. He felt like he was suffocating from lack of air just a second ago. Ken had suddenly barged into Ichiraku's Ramen, and accidentally pushed Fuu into Ryu.
Ryu had fallen into the ground, taking Fuu with him, and he had almost kissed her… And the worst thing, he had touched her developing breasts! He was not a phedophile! Damn your careless acts,Ken!
Ayame was laughing loudly as tears wildly left the corners of her eyes, while Ken felt like his world was going to crash anytime soon,"Ken…" Ryu growled as he softly pushed Fuu aside, who had a confused expression on her face.
The Uchiha gulped, his raven hair waving in the air, it felt like the world was staring at them. He slightly moved, and Ryu shot at him,"PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'LL NEVER REPEAT THIS AGAIN!"
~~
Ken had to use the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan's Kamui to escape from Ryu, and even that was short sighted, as he was caught the moment he re-appeared. He had used the Hiraishin to catch him.
Just as he was about to receive a beating, a jounin had barged in and stopped it,"The Hokage requests your presence, Ken-san,Ryu-sama." The latter just snorted and muttered,"Thank my dad, he is the only reason you are still alive."
Ken immediately mentally thanked The Fourth Hokage,"You are my savior! Thanks a lot."
"-But, don't worry after this chat with my father…. I'll personally behead you,and I'll send the head to the clan leader of the Uchiha Clan!" Ryu threatened with a dark face, earning a shiver from Ken.
Ch 60
Minato looked at Team 7, he was going to tell them about the mission to protect the Daimyo, but it had been changed due to a single issue, Kirigakure had requested the presence of some shinobis from Konoha, to participate in some friendly games which would be played in Kiri.
He was planning on sending Team 7 the current one, meaning Ryu,Yato and Ken, also send Team 10, Ino,Shikamaru and Choji with them. There was one problem, what was Kiri's motive now?
'Their village has been severely weakened due to the recent war they had with Iwa… Which still makes no sense, but I guess someone used a very advanced Genjutsu on Kiri, specifically on Yagura it seems.'
Minato thought, before he finally exclaimed,"Team 7, you have been assigned a new mission, B Rank!" He noticed the 'not so surprised' look Team 7 gave him, which made him silently sigh, the team had really grown.
Yato was still in deep thoughts,'What is that voice which told me about the Tenseigan, it sounded so ancient and wise. I'm sure I have heard that before, it's probably the same voice which told me the Gentle Fist I used before was wrong.'
"You will go to Kirigakure together with Team 10, you already have meet one of the members already, Shikamaru. No jonins are to participate in the trip, so it's only you six chunins going there. The aim is to participate in some friendly games they have created to strengthen our connection, and also sign a peace treaty."
Yato raised a hand, asking for permission to speak, which Minato granted him,"I'm sorry, but didn't Kiri just appoint a new Mizukage, Mei Terumi was it? Do they want us to become allies, because that is what they are trying to say through those actions."
Minato smiled and started to explain everything…
~~
Random Akatsuki Hideout.
Nagato's face darkened, he was using Yahiko's body to communicate to the others, and his eyes were looked around, and found all the Akatsuki members, including Kisame, who was covered in bandages.
"May you fully explain what happened in your fight with Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze,Kisame?" Pain said with a calm tone.
Kisame grinned and put Samehada forward,"That brat is incredible! He managed to push me into my full strength, and pushed me away with one of your abilities, leader. His Rinnegan is no pushover, but it's different from yours, it's silver in color."
Pain nodded, Deidara smirked,"I'll show him my art, I'll explode him to ashes!" Sasori coldly glared at him, while Saori's face was incredibly dark, how Ryu had fought both her and him at almost the same time was a mystery.
"That is weird, leader, I fought the bastard at the same time Kisame did! I was under your orders to capture the Seven Tail's Jinchuuriki but failed to do so and Zetsu had to save me."
Pain's glare narrowed,"That sounds like a wood clone he created beforehand. However, if he managed to make a wood clone almost as powerful as the original, it is indeed amazing. That boy is not simple at all, do not underestimate him."
Kisame smirked," I did manage to injure him using Samehada, however for some odd reason I couldn't get his blood. Speaking of that… Samehada really loved his blood, it started acting extremely weird. I do not think I am the best choice to fight him again, not that I would mind it."
Pain took a mental note not to send Kisame to fight him again, despite him being one of the strongest, if not strongest member of Akatsuki besides him. He looked at Hidan and Kakuzu and said,"You successfully captured the Four Tails, despite facing incredible difficulty, it seems sending an immortal and a man with several hearts was not the best idea, but ultimately your Water Style saved you, Kakuzu."
Hidan snorted,"Jashin-sama was not pleased with the fact I did not sacrifice anyone for him… I had to kill a few people along the way to make up for that fact, also the stubborn bastard refused to faint even after I heavily injured him."
Kakuzu did a side glare at Hidan with his green eyes and replied to their leader,"After a lot of calculation, I did not consider a full out battle worth it, so I tried to minimize the damage to both sides. Iwa could've located him and sent men despite their 'unlucky' battle with Kiri."
At the mention of Kiri, most were curious about how Pain had managed to send Kirigakure into a frenzy, which made them attack Iwagakure with so much resolve. It had left both sides heavily destroyed.
Pain looked at Kakuzu and Hidan and finished what he was going to say,"You two have been tasked with locating and kill Ryu Uzumaki Namikaze, proceed with full caution, and do not underestimate him, try to attack him when his guard is down."
Hidan grinned madly,"He'll be a worthy sacrifice to Jashin-sama, it's been so long since I sacrificed a kid to him… A strong one will probably satisfy him a lot!" Kakuzu just snorted,"I wonder how much his head would be worth to enemies of Konoha…"
Pain was deep in thoughts,'I'll also task Zetsu with taking his Rinnegan eyes, maybe they'll be capable of fixing my problem with my own Rinnegan eyes… Or at least prolonging my ability to use them'
The only reason he was using the Akatsuki to do this, instead of personally acting was because he couldn't risk weakening himself even further than he had already done. He could barely use Chibaku Tensei on someone.
Besides… If they managed to eliminate Ryu Uzumaki, they'd also manage to weaken Konoha, who had proved to be extremely powerful, Nagato was not sure if he could defeat the hidden village by himself anymore.
A more powerful Rinnegan would guarantee that his plans wouldn't go to waste, but there was another pest in this, Tobi. He still did not know his true identity, despite using all his power to find out.
It angered him , but for now he had to do something much more important… Making himself stronger… For the peace of the world.

This Chapter is the one to end everything, I might post a few more chapters just for fun, but this is the end.
You might say it's a bit rushed, and I agree, but I couldn't really write much more about an OP character.
Sorry.
Hope you enjoy. If you want to read more of my works, do read my TDG Fanfic.
