Capítulo 321: Trusted his back

Hiashi frowned a little as he heard that and looked at his father and asked "Were you expecting someone elder?" to which the old man shook his head and looked at the attendant and asked, "Who is the visitor and whom does he intend to meet?"

"Elder, the visitor is Sasuke Uchiha and he wishes to meet Neji. Usually, I would have let him pass like the other friends that come to visit Neji or call him for training but since Sasuke is an Uchiha, I thought I should notify you first." the attendant said. He knew that the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga were at odds due to both of them being proud of their dojutsu's powers.

"You did right...I wonder what that Uchiha kid wants with our Neji." Hiashi said and was thinking when the elder said "Hiashi I think we should let the kid meet Neji. I have done my research on the 2 Uchiha kids and Yami doesn't seem like an easy person. He is known to be extremely unpredictable and resourceful. On the other hand, Sasuke is much simpler and has never done anything out of expectation. Now that he has returned, he will prove to be a good opponent if he intends to fight Neji."

"You think he is here to challenge Neji? Does he view Neji as an equal?" Hiashi asked to which the elder waved his hand and said "Doesn't matter if he is here to fight or not. They must not develop the hatred that our clan had for the Uchihas. The time is too fragile now and an entire clan no matter how strong can disappear in the blink of an eye."

Hiashi understood that his father was referencing the night of the Uchiha massacre. Hiashi himself had a small chat with Yami after the Orochimaru invasion and Hiashi understood that this kid is not one who can be manipulated or led by a finger.

Hiashi looked at the attendant and said "Let the kid go and meet Neji. And make sure that no one should even try to spy on what they are talking about. If caught, we could lead the whole matter in the opposite direction."

The elder nodded and said "Yes...I am sure that Neji himself will tell us if we ask him. He has truly changed for the better in the past few years."

The attendant simply bowed a little and closed the door. He came back to the main door and saw Sasuke still standing there "Please follow me...I will guide you to the training hall where Neji is."

Sasuke felt a little odd that the attendant addressed Neji by his first name but he remembered that Neji was from the branch clan and not the main clan like Hinata.

The attendant led Sasuke through the clan and many people were stealing glances at him. Not for him being handsome but because the Uchiha logo was imprinted on Sasuke's kimono at the back.

As they reached the courtyard, the attendant stopped at the front door of a big gate and said "Neji is inside training. He stays and trains here when he is not doing missions."

Sasuke nodded and entered the gate alone. He saw many markings on the ground and on the trees nearby which symbolized that someone had been sparring there. Sasuke could immediately recognize the difference in the techniques of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan. The Uchiha's focus was more on destruction while the Hyuga's techniques were much more peaceful and controlled. They only targeted the vital organ so that the opponent can be taken down with the least effort.

"Sasuke, I did not expect you to come to meet me here..." Neji's voice came as a door near the courtyard hall opened. As Neji came out the first thing he did was to activate his byakugan while Sasuke immediately shut his eyes. The next second Sasuke opened his eyes and Neji deactivated his Byakugan and at the same time both said "No one is spying"

"Wait here." Neji said as he turned back and went inside the house. He returned within 30 seconds with something wrapped around a black cloth.

"Here it is" Neji said as he held the thing in his hand in front of him toward Sasuke. Sasuke walked closer and took it from Neji and said "Thank you...I know it was right to trust you with this."

"Can I ask you, why me? You could have gone to anyone with it even Lady Tsunade." Neji asked.

"One thing that Yami always told me is that never turn your back on someone you don't trust but whenever your team was fighting, he would trust his back to you and Lee. How could I ever trust his sword to anyone other than you?" Sasuke said with a stoic expression.

"The old man was shocked to see the condition the sword was in. Even though it appeared that the sheath was the only thing that was damaged, he said that the integrity of the sword had reduced and would have collapsed if Yami had continued to use it. Using my Byakugan sight, and a few things that he learned, he was able to fix the sword and make it even stronger than before." Neji said.

Sasuke slid the cloth on the sword a little to the side to reveal its iconic purple sheath. A smile appeared on Sasuke's face as he said "I am sure that whenever Yami returns, he will be happy to see it."

"I heard about yours and Naruto's fight with an Anbu spy...I have already told Guy sensei to arrange a fight with you when you come back." Neji said to which Sasuke nodded and said "Then I am sure that he is hounding Kakashi sensei right now to arrange it. After all, my short-term goal now is to defeat you and then Yami."

"So is mine. I will see you in battle now Sasuke Uchiha." Neji said as he went back and closed the door. Sasuke also turned around and left the courtyard. He remembered the route the attendant brought him, so he didn't need an escort while going back.

2 years ago when Sasuke decided to leave with Kakashi for training, he approached the old man's workshop to get Yami's sword checked and get a new sheath for it. But his son and grandson both refused, saying that it would be an insult to the old man if they tried to do anything to the sword and that he would have to wait till the old man comes from the land of Iron where he went to meet an old friend.

In the end, the old man didn't come even when it was the day of Sasuke's and Kakashi's departure. So Sasuke approached Neji who was training Karin at the time in their training ground and trusted Yami's sword to his old squad mate. Neji looked at the condition the sword was in and agreed to take it to the old man for repair and so he did.

Hokage Building Terrace

Tsunade was standing with Itachi who was disguised as a normal Anbu wearing a dog mask.

"Are you sure you want to tell them tonight itself ?" Tsunade asked to which Itachi said "Yes...I wanted to tell Kakashi long back when he was going away with Sasuke but couldn't. As for Jiraiya, I think he needs to know because he may have to protect Naruto from Danzo's schemes one day. The kid may be strong but Danzo's underhanded techniques are not to be underestimated.

Tsunade grit her teeth and said "I have cut the funding provided to the Root by nearly 70% but this is the most I could do without letting others know what is actually happening. Luckily not many elders see Danzo in a favorable light. With the threat of the Akatsuki looming over our heads, I can't cause any more problems for now so watch your step. What about your brothers? "

Itachi looked at Tsunade through the mask and said "No matter what I say, I can't justify killing our parents to them...especially mother to whom they both were attached to. I prefer to live and die without them ever finding out about it...maybe that's for the best."

Tsunade wanted to say some words to make him feel better but she knew that those words didn't exist. What could she say? Just as she was thinking a screech of a bat was heard. Tsunade and Itachi both looked up as they saw a red-eyed menacing-looking bat fly toward them. The bat landed on one of the cement structures which was on the Hokage terrace. Even the grip of the bat was enough to make some cement crumble and fall on the floor.

The bat then opened his mouth and a scroll popped out of it falling toward Tsunade. The bat didn't even wait for Tsunade to catch the scroll as it turned around and flew away into the clouds.

"Looks like Yami finished his training and is planning to come back." Tsunade said as she proceeded to open the scroll. The smile on her face instantly vanished.

Capítulo 322: An Urgent Warning

"What's the matter lady Tsunade?" Itachi asked seeing her in a serious mood.

"This kid...every letter he sends is like a headache to me." Tsunade said as she massaged her forehead with one hand and showed the contents of the scroll to Itachi with her other hand.

Itachi took the scroll from her and read what was written in it "The Kazekage is going to be kidnapped for his tailed beast within the next 24 hours."

"Do you think he is correct about this?" Tsunade asked as she looked at Itachi.

"Well, his bats are really good at information gathering. Even someone with my sense can't be sure if I am being spied upon by his bats. Should we inform the hidden sand about it?"

Tsunade shook her head and said "No...I don't think we need to. Yami's first mission was a joint mission with the current Kazakage Gaara. I am sure he will have sent a letter to him as well. For now, just bring Temari of the hidden sand to me. I will have team Kakashi and team Guy go with her to the hidden sand.

"If the Akatsuki is behind this then I should go as well." Itachi said to which Tsunade shook her head and said "No...they should never know that you are alive. They might change their plan and their base and that could be catastrophic for us. You are not to step into the fights unless it is a question of the hidden leaf's safety and this is an order as your Hokage." Tsunade said in a stern tone.

Seeing that Tsunade had already made up her mind about this, Itachi decided to go and call Temari so he body flickered away.

At this time, Shikamaru and Temari were having fried fish in the Konoha market. Living in the desert made it really rare for Temari to eat any kind of seafood so she was trying each and every fish that was in the market. As her guide, Shikamaru had to get dragged along with her as well.

"Such a dragg...why am I in the market at such a time...I could have relaxed at home but no I had to become a guide." Shikamaru complained to himself as he followed Temari.

"Stop complaining like a little girl. I am here for one more day and I will leave. If you come to the hidden sand then I will be responsible for your tour as well." Temari said not realizing that her chance to give him a tour was going to come sooner than she expected.

"Temari of the hidden sand" a voice appeared behind her spooking her and Shikamaru at the same time.

"Damm...you scared me" Temari said as she stepped backward.

"What happened?" Shikamaru asked. Since he was the son of Shikaku Nara, Itachi didn't see any problem with talking to her in front of him.

"Lady Tsunade has called you into her office urgently. It's an emergency. Please come with me fast." Itachi said.

Realizing that it was something urgent Temari nodded and followed Itachi. Curiosity also got the best of Shikamaru as he was also running toward the Hokage office. After reaching outside the Hokage's office, Shikamaru saw Lee and Karin just entering the office.

"Both of you can go in." Itachi said acting like a regular Anbu and left the lobby. He didn't want anyone inside the office to even start doubting his identity.

As Temari and Shikamaru entered inside they saw that Kakashi, Guy, Lee, Karin, and Sasuke were standing in the office. She also noticed a long cloth-wrapped thing in Sasuke's hands.

Tsunade looked at Temari and then at Shikamaru and asked "What are you doing here?" She didn't think that Itachi must have made a mistake so she didn't tell Shikamaru to leave immediately.

"I was with Temari when the Anbu asked her to come here. I was worried as to what happened so I followed her." Shikamaru said.

"What's the matter Lady Tsunade? Why have you called me here so urgently and that too with these many people here?" Temari asked. She had a feeling that something was wrong but couldn't quite put a finger on it.

"Let's wait for a minute until the others arrive as well. I am sure they will be on their way here as well." Tsunade said.

Temari nodded and within the next few seconds, the rest of Team Guy and Team Kakashi showed up. Naruto came and started asking the same questions at first but seeing the serious look on Tsunade's face kept him quiet. As Neji arrived last just 5 seconds after Karin and Sakura, the two teams had assembled.

Tsunade opened the scroll in her hand and stood up. She waved it in front of the two teams and Temari and said "This is a message that I received from Yami a few minutes ago."

There were many changes in expressions across the room. Some were surprised, some were happy while some had gotten even more curious. But none of this could explain why Temari was called here along with only 2 teams.

"What does it say Lady Tsunade?" Sasuke asked. As his elder brother, it was understandable for him to be impatient and ask such a question so Tsunade said "The letter says that within the next 24 hours, the Kazekage will be kidnapped."

Gasps were heard throughout the room as she said it. "What the kidnapping of a Kage?" Karin asked to which Sakura replied "Is it so easy to do? I am sure that the Kazekage is young but still strong."

"Gaara is going to be kidnapped?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade nodded and then looked at Temari and said "I know Temari that this could be hard to believe but since the source of this information is Yami and the ones behind it we believe are the Akatsuki, it is possible."

"The Akatsuki?" Naruto asked as he lost himself in thought. Jiraiya had never mentioned the presence of the Akatsuki or their goal.

Sasuke's eyes twitched as he heard that. He remembered that this is the same organization his elder brother Itachi had joined and even died.

"Does Gaara know about this?" Temari asked in a hurry. She didn't care much about him the Kazekage but as his elder sister, she didn't want him to get hurt.

Tsunade shook her head and said "We are under the presumption that Yami must have sent your village the same warning as well. Because even our fastest hawks won't reach before 36 hours. On the contrary, Yami's bats are faster and stronger."

"Why would an organization want to kidnap the Kage of one of the 5 great villages?" Karin asked. Sakura also voiced her question and asked "Does this organization have some kind of goal or do they just want to extort from the village?"

Tsunade looked at the 2 jonins standing and they both nodded giving their consent to tell their team about the Akatsuki.

"Listen all of you...the Akatsuki is not some run-of-the-mill organization that takes on mercenary missions. They are a group of S-class criminals from the 5 great villages with only one goal and that is to capture the tailed beasts."

"A tailed beast? What is it? Is it something that the hidden sand has?" Karin asked as she looked back at Temari who didn't say anything.

"So that's what they are after..." Naruto said as he clutched his stomach with one hand and looked down. Before Sakura could tell Karin anything Naruto turned around to face Karin and the others and said "Karin the tailed beast are monsters that are sealed inside children. Gaara has one sealed inside him while I have one inside me."

Temari was shocked to hear something like this. She didn't know that Naruto was a Jinchuriki. The others however weren't surprised. At some time in their life, they had seen Naruto being ostracized by others for no apparent reason but in the past two years, they had grown enough to find out the particular reason for that behavior. They knew that somewhere they also played a part in isolating Naruto and they developed guilt about it.

Tsunade saw that the mood of the room was getting gloomy. Kakashi patted Naruto's shoulder as he also felt some guilt towards him. He was Minato's student and he didn't help out his teacher's son when he needed him the most.

"I understand what you must have gone through Naruto...At least Gaara had us." Temari said in a low voice.

"Naruto, are you going to keep whining about the past or move on and try to save Gaara?" Sasuke said in an annoyed tone. Kakashi smiled as he heard that as he understood Sasuke's motive behind it.

"You are right...I will save Gaara. Grandma Tsunade, we will save Gaara." Naruto said enthusiastically. Temari was happy seeing that a kid from another village was so excited to help her brother out but she couldn't help but worry for Gaara who was hundreds of miles away right now.

Tsunade looked at everyone standing in the office and ordered "Team Kakashi and Team Guy, go to the hidden sand with Temari and make sure that the Akatsuki isn't able to harm the Kazekage and the hidden sand."
