Sequel to Fight Against Pein!
With the invasion of Pein behind Konoha, everything seemed to be back to it's peaceful and cheery life. Although Tsunade was in a coma, needing a new Hokage. It was Danzo Shimura that was appointed as the Rokudaime Hokage.
Right now, he and his two most trusted subordinates are on their way to Tetsu no Kuni, to attend to a meeting requiring the Five Kages initiated by the Raikage after his brother was killed by the Akatsuki. He wants to have the group be dealt with. While Danzo had two of his most trusted subordinates, Naruto insisted he follow after.
Danzo saw no reason not to deny the "Hero of Konoha" and so approved of his request. Right now, he, along with Yamato, Kakashi, and Team Elemental were on their way to Testsu no Kuni.
Scarlet looked at the corner of his eyes, right at a tree. Yamato noticed this and looked at Scarlet. "Something wrong?"
The Uchiha continued staring at the tree. "I can't get shrug this feeling that we're being watched." Scarlet walked up to the tree. "Can't be to sure." and jumped up the branch.
He looked around around, seeing nothing or no one. He dropped back down, walking back to his friends and sesnseis. "Must have been the paranoia getting to me. There's no one there."
Kakashi shrugged. "Well if you're sure. Let's keep going."
And they all started running towards Tetsu no Kuni. Unfortunately, Scarlet was right. Someone was there. Tobi walked out of the tree and looked in the direction where the Konoha-nins ran. Tobi chuckled, but with his Madara voice.
"Well well, someone's ground up. Let's see what you can do."
In Tetsu no Kuni
They've arrived at Tetsu no Kuni, renting out an inn for their temporary stay. Naruto walked out of the inn and decided to take a look around, but saw a familiar face. He jogged up to the eprson and greeted him.
"Haven't see you in a while. How've you been Gaara?"
The Kazekage turned to Naruto and smiled. Gaara placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Greetings Naruto. I'm glad that you're okay, despite the Akatsuki invading your village. Had we heard of your plight sooner, we could have sent assistance"
Naruto just smirked. "It's alright. What's done is done. The past is past."
Gaara's smile turned to a frown, wanting to address something. "Naruto, about the Raikage placing Sasuke in the Bingo Book,"
Naruto raised a hand, interrupting Gaara. "Don't bother Gaara. I already know about that little tidbit. In fact I was the one who gave up information concerning Sasuke."
This caused Gaara's eyes to slightly widened. "What? Why? Is he not your friend?"
Naruto's eyes seemed to shift into a serious look. "WAS, my friend. Ever since fighting Pein, I gained a wider perspective of the world. Sasuke, what he does is his own choice now. I have no care if he has no intention on going back."
Gaara merely nodded, his smile returning. "Then I bid you a good day. The meeting will soon start."
Gaara walked away, with Naruto waving his hand goodbye. Naruto looked at the corner of his eyes, seeing a muscular figure, wearing no upper clothing but a robe. He was flnaked by a albino, black-skinned man and a blonde. Naruto blurred before appearing in front of the figure.
"Greetings Raikage-sama."
Ay raised an eyebrow, seeing a blonde all of a sudden blur in front of him. He looked at Naruto, noticing the resemblance fo Minato.
"Heh, so that's Minato's brat. the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. His speed is fast, but not faster than his father. So, tell me Uzumaki. What business do you have with me?"
Naruto looked at the muscular Raikage. "When Sasuke is captured by your forces, I request that I be the one who delivers his final judgement."
Ay crossed his arms and frowned. "And why should I? He killed one of Kumo's greatest shinobi, my brother. Why should I guve you the decision of his fate?"
"It's because I owe him that much. I once considered him a brother whom I could respect, but now he's become a rabid dog that barks at anyone who approaches him."
Ay seemed to think about it, before walking pass Naruto, Darui and Cee following. "I'll consider it. But I make no promises, brat."
Naruto merely nodded, and went back to rejoin his friends.
In the Meeting Room, an hour later
Mifune crossed his arms, governing the meeting. All Kages, besides the Kazekage and Hokage, were all arguing because of their different idelogies. Their bodyguards looking on. Danzo looked at Ay.
"Tell me, what was the purpose of this meeting again Rakage? Oh, right, your borther Killer Bee."
This enraged Ay, causing every bodyguard to assume a stance. A slammed his fist on the desk, cracking it. "Admit that each and every one of us were all great villages were responsible for the Akatsuki's rise in power in some way. Iwa was the most frequent in using the Akatsuki's services. The Yonndaime Mizukage had been rumored to have been manipulated. The Yondaime Kazekage probably hired the Akatsuki during the Konoha Crush. But, I also believe that the invasion was merely the Hokage's way, to eliminate the Sandaime and the Yondaime Kazekage."
Danzo looked unfazed and looked at Ay. "Are you insinuating something? The Akatsuki is said to be led by Madara Uchiha, one of this greatest traitors of all."
At the mention of Madara, Mifune spoke. "Then I propose *liance between all villages, with Danzo leading the alliance."
One of Mei's, the Mizukage, bodyguard, Ao, noticed something strange with Mifune. With his stolen Byakugan, he noticed Danzo subtly mainuplating Mifune to his will. Before he could say something, a white creature crashed from below the ground, causing everyone to assume a ready stance.
The creature shaped into Zetsu, smirking at everyone present. "Sasuke is approaching."
This caused everyone to narrow their eyes, while Mifune ordered a lock down of the entire building. Zetsu submerged back, causing Ay to act, and was fast enough to catch Zetsu.
"What about that *ed Uchiha?! Answer me now?!"
When Zetsu refused to answer, Ay snapped his neck and threw the corpse aside.
In the Inn
Naruto layed on the futon in his room in the inn, staring at the ceiling. He closed his eyes, before hearing a sound. Naruto was quick to stand up and drew a kunai. A massive swirl appeared by the balcony and out came Tobi, waving at Naruto.
"Greetings Naruto."
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "You're not like how my friends described you."
The blonde could almost hear the smirk from behind the mask. "Of course. Deception is a shinobi's greatest weapon."
The two stared at each other for what seemed to b e minutes, before Naruto broke the silence. "What do you want?"
"I'm just here to tell you, saving Sasuke's not worth it. Let me explain." Tobi pauses, before resuming. "You remember Itachi, correct? But what you don't know is that him killing his clan? It was nothing but an order from your current Hokage, Danzo. There was another option, but it was quickly moved aside. Itachi had only one option, allow his clan to uprise Konoha, or do his duty and slaughter the traitors. Itachi sacrificed a lot, killing his clan instead of allowing it to rebel. He was, unfortunately, given only one person to spare. You can guess who. I told Sasuke a similar story, and you know what? He embraced the Uchiha's hatred, while you embraced the Senju's Will of Fire. No matter what you do, the both of you will always be on the oposing si- ARGH!"
Tobi was pushed by an unknown force, sending him flying straight into a pillar. Naruto leapt out of the inn and started walking towards Tobi.
"You think I don't know that? I already knew that weeks ago, when I secretly snuck into the HOkage's Offive, and accidentally read the journal that entails said order."
Tobi groaned and got up, before receiving a punch to the gut. Naruto attempted a backhand, but found his arm going straight through Tobi as if he was a ghost. Tobi switched personaliies and began running away like a comical idiot.
"Sorry, but Tobi has other places to be! Buh-bye!"
Tobi ran faster, before seeing Kakashi and Yamato up ahread. The experimented Mokuton-user clapped his ahnd, causing a tree to sprout from the ground. Tobi phased through the tree, only to face Kakashi, who's hand was covered in electricity.
"Raikiri!"
Tobi sunk into the ground, before jumping back up and avoided two Fuma Shurikens flung at him. Naruto dropped down and circled through hand seals and blew out a strong gust of air.
"Futon: Daitoppa!"
The masked Akatsuki member dropped back down, before being comically *n away into the air. Kakashi jumped up, his hand still covered in electricity.
"Raikiri Soraishi!"
Kakashi plunged his arm into Tobi's chest, only for him to phase through. Tobi fell to the ground and face planted. Yamato clapped his hand again, a giant wooden root sprouting from the ground and covered Tobi.
Yamato smirked, but was shocked as Tobi stood up and walked away from the root. Tobi cheered.
"Because Tobi is such a good boy, Tobi can't get hurt!"
"Raikiri!"
Kakashi's phased through Tobi again, but was surprised as he saw a giant blue sphere from above.
"Rasengan!"
Cliffie, but at least I'm back!
