Chapter 17: Tohru and Milim's day out
______________________________________________________________________
- Silas -
We searched around for Naruto and Kanna but found no clues anywhere.
An hour or so later, even the Masters of Ryozanpaku arrived at the Restaurant looking worried. Just as we were thinking of going out and searching once more, the door to the Restaurant opened and in came both Kanna and Naruto.
"Naruto, Kanna!" Miu rushed towards them and hugged both the kids tightly.
Even we let out a sigh of relief as they looked safe and sound. Hayato-san went ahead and checked on them. "The kids are fine."
"Where did the two of you go?" Miu asked, angry. I could understand her anger too. She looked worried out of her mind. But angry as she might have been, she was still hugging the kids close to her as if afraid that she would lose them again.
"I… I am sorry, Miu nee-chan. I was… I just wanted to get a picture of my parents." He showed a picture he was carrying to us. "I got one but I couldn't get any of my kaa-chan."
We looked at the picture of the blonde haired blue eyed guy smiling brightly in the picture. He looked like an adult version of Naruto. How different from the monstrous figure of the cursed spirit who protects Naruto.
His words stopped any complaints from Miu. Hayato-san however kneeled in front of him and brushed his hair. "If you wanted this, you could have told us. We could have brought it for you. But you didn't tell anyone before going there which had everyone worried. You understand that, right?"
"Umm. I won't do it again."
"Good. Now, can you tell us where you were and how you got this late?" He asked.
They were about to speak but Kanna's stomach growled and she looked at me. I let out a sigh. "I will get something to eat for you two."
I did just that.
While I went inside to whip something up quickly they told us about their adventures.
"And then we caught fishes from the river and cooked them over fire. We even met Sasuke and I had a spar with him."
"Oh, the boy from your academy?"
"Hmm. This time I won. You should have seen his face, Gramps. I totally kicked his ass dattebayo." He was quite proud.
Several of us in the Restaurant knew about Sasuke, mostly from Naruto's words. The top student of his class and also the one who always defeated Naruto.
"Then we went to the Ichiraku Ramen to meet Teuchi Jii-san and Ayame nee-san and ate ramen there." He paused for a moment.
"What happened Naruto?"
"Umm… the old man, I mean the Hokage came there with another guy and asked me where I was. He said he would give me the picture of my mom and dad and then took us with him." He continued, his voice lower this time.
I brought the dishes out by then and put them in front of them.
"They didn't force you, did they?"
"Umm… he said that I had to attend the academy there because my parents would have wanted that… and when we tried to leave, they stopped us."
Everyone in the Restaurant was frowning by now.
We had expected something like that could happen if he were to go back, especially knowing about the fox.
"That's when Tohru-sama came and opened a portal for us to leave."
"Hmm but they even drew swords at Tohru-chan. Nii-san, she will be fine, right?" Naruto asked as I froze.
"They did what?"
"They attacked us with something but Milim stood in the way. We didn't see what happened later."
I tuned the rest out and looked at the time.
Kanna and Naruto had returned fifteen minutes ago.
"Wait here. I will bring them back." I said as I walked towards the door.
"I will go with you. Tohru can get a bit rowdy when fighting. I might be able to help." Lucoa stood up.
"Let me join you guys too." Rimuru got up.
I opened the door to Naruto's world and the first thing I saw was a massive beam of energy passing right in front of my eyes, destroying everything in its path. We weren't affected in the least due to the Restaurant's protection but the sheer power of the attack sent shivers down my spine.
I turned my head to the side mechanically and looked at the mountain wide trench whose end I couldn't see. As for where Milim and Tohru were… I didn't even need to search for them.
There was a green coloured dragon in the sky and a pink haired Demon Lord floating in front of us.
Crap…
- Jiraiya -
The one who took the lead to attack was Danzo but he quickly stepped back and sensei took charge, directly summoning Monkey King Enma. "Sarutobi… what kind of enemy made you summon me?"
"We don't have time to talk, old friend. I need your help."
"Alright. Adamantine Staff Transformation." The Monkey King transformed into the legendary Adamantine Staff and sensei swung it towards the girl.
The result however was something completely unexpected… or maybe expected.
The girl raised a hand which transformed into a claw and held the staff with no effort. She then lifted and used it to swing sensei to the side, smashing the hokage tower completely with the attack. The Adamantine Staff left Sensei's hand and was thrown away. It went spinning before it stuck into the wall of the Hokage Mountain, directly into the middle of the head of Sensei's statue.
What strength…
Tsunade took this chance to jump forward and punch towards her and the girl didn't back down and instead punched forward. The result was something which almost made his eyes pop out.
Tsunade, someone whose strength gave him nightmares, had her arm collapse from the attack and was thrown into the ground, creating a massive crater in the place she crashed.
Just what kind of absurd strength was this?
The rest of the anbu attacked her from all sides but she effortlessly dismantled all their attacks one by one.
But it seems even that power was just a trailer. The girl began to morph.
Her face turned draconic and then slowly the rest of the body followed while her size grew until she was the size of a tailed beast.
Moments later, a large green coloured dragon with black coloured wings was in the skies above Konoha.
Dragon.
A real Dragon.
There were really dragons in this world.
Just what kind of summons did Naruto get?
Sensei's attacks hit the dragon who just shrugged it off as if nothing.
That attack… it could stop even a Tailed Beast for a while but this dragon…
Jiraiya might not have seen any dragons before this but he knew the reputation, the legends about them.
Dragons were synonymous with power.
And today he could see why… the power this dragon was radiating… it is unreal.
Suddenly a thought came to his mind.
What about the little girl who said they were weak and she could take care of them?…
He however didn't have enough time to think about these things.
Right now, the village was in danger and he needed to stop the angry dragoness in front of them.
Damn Danzo. They shouldn't have attacked.
Attacking summons was never a good thing. It would make the entire clan their enemies…
He looked at Tsunade who was still stunned. The splatters of the blood from her hand had fallen on her and she was in shock, unable to even move.
Dammit… now of all times.
Jiraiya looked around and quickly took command.
Hundreds of ninjas were gathering.
"Fugaku, send your son away and order the police to evacuate the area. Itachi, help me contain her." He ordered. However, he couldn't find the advisors anywhere.
Even Danzo had disappeared… seriously, those cowards…
Jiraiya hoped that the assistance of Uchiha could help ease the tension in the village and help mend the gap between them and the villagers.
Fugaku apparently had the same thought as he created a shadow clone and sent his son away with it and got to assisting.
He wasn't idle either as he quickly made hand seals and used the Summoning Jutsu.
A giant cloud of smoke appeared and out came Gamabunta and he jumped on his head.
"Jiraiya, why have you called me this tim… holy crap, is that a dragon!"
"Yes… yes it is. Gamabunta, do you know anything about a Dragon Summoning Land?"
"A Summoning Land of Dragons? I didn't even know they existed. Just how did you encounter one?"
"It's… I will explain later. Right now we need to stop her before she can destroy Konoha."
Fugaku commanded the military police to quickly evacuate the people around the Hokage Tower while Itachi sent a clone to actually remove Tsunade from the scene first.
"What is wrong with her, Jiraiya-sama?" Itachi asked.
"Tsunade… she has haemophobia. She won't be able to assist if she doesn't snap out of it."
"Haemophobia?!" The boy was surprised but contained it in seconds.
Sensei had recovered from the previous attack and came out of the rubble of the store he had crashed into. He threw four fuma shuriken in four different directions, surrounding the dragoness. The shuriken transformed into his shadow clones in mid air, each weaving hand seals. All five of them used a technique of five different elements at the same time from five different directions, targeting the dragoness in the middle.
It was sensei's trump card, the Five Release Great Combo Technique, something which only someone like him who had mastered all five elements could use.
This attack could halt the approach of even tailed beasts and was something which had played a great role in getting him the title of the God of Shinobi.
The attacks crashed into the dragon head on, creating a massive explosion in the sky about the Hokage Tower.
The night sky was lit up by the explosion and what was left was only smoke in the air.
"Is it over?" Jiraiya heard Gamabunta speaking.
Jiraiya doubted it.
Sure enough, a deafening roar tore through the night as the smoke from the explosion was cleared, the shockwave from the roar mowing down the surrounding buildings, revealing the almost pristine condition of the dragon.
"Gamabunta, assist Sensei." he commanded.
This is not something Gamabunta can stop by himself so Jiraiya summoned two other toads to assist.
Gamabunta was also aware of the seriousness of the situation and drew his sword and jumped towards the Dragon but the dragoness just opened her mouth and blasted a beam of energy and Gamabunta was blasted away into the distance, disappearing in a burst of smoke.
Dammit, Bunta didn't even last one attack.
The worst part was that the Dragon was just watching them confidently and not exactly attacking them.
She was… as if mocking them, giving them a chance to do their worst before she attacks. Such thoughts sent shivers down Jiraiya's spine.
He suddenly realised that he had been completely mistaken about her being like a Tailed Beast.
She wasn't like a Tailed Beast. No, Tailed Beast were just that… beasts. They attacked like one.
This one was intelligent, skilled at using her powers and thus far worse than Tailed Beasts. Such a being… how big of an asset could they have been if they had joined Konoha… if only, Naruto had been treated a little better.
As much as Jiraya wanted to rage and blame sensei, it wasn't the time for it. Right now, he needed to save the village from what could be the biggest crisis it has faced since the creation.
The other two toads went on to attack the dragon but were being beaten into the ground. The rest of the ninja were continuously attacking the dragon but they couldn't even scratch her.
