Political Alliance
Chapter 23: Trouble on the Way The next morning saw the team having breakfast together with Tazuna and the rest of his family. Kakashi didn’t mind spending time with the family it was good to see them actually. Too many times missions he had done in the past had been bloody, horrible and things that had been done in the shadows. Sure it made their current mission a bit difficult but it was nice to see that a ninja can impact the world in a positive way. He had to admit that his team had done a lot for the town, maybe in some way it evened out his karma in life. His thoughts drifted through, back home. Looking at everyone here happy around a breakfast table, when had been the last time he had ever been in a position like this? His own mother died when he had been so very young that he barely remembered her, and his father, well he had killed himself when Kakashi had been eleven years old. Ever since then he had lived alone, ate alone at home, cooked for himself and everything else. After the deaths of Rin, Obito and Minato he had shut out the world for a long time before others managed to open him up some. Now looking around the table it felt a bit alien to him. He put on a good face but he was always good at masking his real emotions. In fact it had only been recently that things had been slightly different with him, mainly thanks to a certain purple haired ninja. His mind drifted to Anko, ever since they started the…well whatever it was between them, after sex they would be too tired and just fell asleep. It had been odd the first time, that morning after hadn’t exactly been easy. Neither one was sure what to say or do, but by now they had a decent routine. Plus a few ground rules, mainly whosever’s place they were at, they did the cooking in the morning. It was why he had a fresh stock of green tea as she apparently loved that stuff almost as much as dango, a surprise to him. She also kept a few things he liked as well at her place. Thinking of Anko brought out confusing emotions in him, things he hadn’t really felt before. When she was around he felt a bit calmer, well on the inside, with Anko around things were never truly ‘calm’. The woman was full of energy, mischievous, and so thing were never dull. But that’s what made life more interesting. Even her faults, like how she kept rearranging his stuff because she claimed her system was superior. Well he did the same to her place in retaliation. Little games like that he found himself enjoying. But they were just friends where they? Then again how many friends had sex together was another question. It had been her idea after all not to complicate things, and he felt the same. So why did things suddenly feel more complicated? At any rate he looked around and something was odd, for some reason Sakura was very quiet. She looked like she hadn’t gotten much sleep for some reason and she kept avoiding looking at Naruto and Temari’s direction. At first he thought she was angry at either one or both of them but there was no malice in it. In fact the one time he caught her looking up and had to answer a question Temari asked the young pink haired girt would blush and quickly look away after she answered. That got Kakashi’s interest as whatever was going on seemed to give him the impression he missed something funny. He mentally shrugged as he thought of what to do next. It was obvious that by now there would be spies already in the town looking for them and reporting back. If he could find those and maybe track them back to whenever this Cain was based, they could take the fight to him and avoid any combat in the village. It would help matters from a tactical point, the only problem was how to flush out any spies. He looked at his team, it was a little manipulative but in the ninja world that was how their life worked. If could have his team go out among the town, and he could have his ninja dogs in the shadows watching. With their senses they could tell if someone would be following them, then the dogs could back track them to their boss. The only problem was if the opposition had hired ninja of their own, then they would find his dogs. Thankfully they knew to go back to where they came from if things got nasty, but it was still a risk. But then, risk was what their lives were about, if they wanted a safer life they should have become civilians. “Well then while we’re here why don’t you four go out for a bit,” Kakashi smiled at them. “Huh, what about out mission?” Naruto asked. “Well I’m going to look for some information, unless we know where this Cain person is the only thing we can do is simply wait for him to show up.” Kakashi explained to the four of them. “Is that wise?” Temari asked the jonin. “What if they send people into the village while we’re just out like that?” “That’s why you’ll be in teams of two,” Kakashi smiled at them. “I want you two always together just in case of that same thing. This way you won’t be caught alone and you can cover each other.” There was a moment’s pause, the kids weren’t too sure although it would be nice to see how the village had prospered. Kakashi threw in that they could also train for a bit if they wanted to, that was all it was needed to get Naruto fired up, plus he wanted to show Inari the new moves he learned since he had last been here. Temari of course decided to go with her young husband, since she felt like a bit of training, also to keep an eye on him. Well more of any pushy girls, she trusted Naruto but the boy didn’t know how to handle girls. That left Sakura and Sasuke said boy didn’t show much enthusiasm although Sakura was glad to have some space from the married couple. She still couldn’t look at them without visuals of what she had heard last night. Eventually Sakura offered to help Tsunami with shopping as a way to repay for the woman’s hospitality. Plus it brought back memories of her first visit to this place as well, hopefully the stores would be better stacked and she wouldn’t find children going hungry in the streets. -Naruto and Temari- Naruto and Temari ended up going for a bit of training, Inari wanted to join in at least to watch. He hadn’t seen what Team 7 did last time and he really wanted to see what new things Naruto learned and also what Temari could do. So they walked to the lake that was near the town with the forest in it. It was isolated and a perfect place to train, although it was also very nostalgic with Naruto as he looked around the area Team 7 learned to climb trees. On the way they seemed to pick up a few others, mainly boys and girls ranging from Temari to Inari’s ages. It seemed that they would have a bit of an audience, Naruto of course loved the attention. Temari not so much, all these people would make training harder and she knew that Naruto’s focus would be messed up because of it as well. Naruto led the way as he still remembered how to get to the area he stopped at two trees and smiled looking at them. “What is it?” Temari asked walking up to him. “See those marks?” Naruto pointed at all the cuts into the two trees. “This is where we learned how to tree climb. Sakura-chan made it in one go but me and Sasuke spent hours trying to get up it.” Temari smirked at the sight of all the marks on the trees, “At least he was as bad as you seemed to have been.” “Yeah he-hey wait a minute!” Naruto turned to his smirking wife. “You’re too easy to tease you know that?” She smiled at him. Not for the first time, Naruto was wondering if teaching her how to joke around and relax had been a good thing. Well he could always find a way to get back at her later, it was one of the little games they played with each other and they made sure they didn’t cross any lines either. “So what’s the new stuff you learned huh?” Inari asked the older boy. Naruto grinned as he saw the perfect thing, a very large rock that was the perfect shape and size. He could use a tree but honestly he wasn’t sure which way the tree would fall. Getting some civilians killed by a falling tree in training wouldn’t be a good thing. He started off with a clone as usual as he got into the right position. “What’s he doing, I’ve already seen this before?” Inari wondered. “Just wait,” Temari said smiling at Naruto. “What you’re about to see is something very few people get to see. Only three people that I know of, know of this technique.” Naruto used the clone to mould the chakra that he gathered and formed his most powerful move. He dispelled the clone as he slammed the rasengan into the giant rock. The ball of destructive chakra slowly chewed through the stone like it was nothing. In a few seconds the rasengan went right through the rock, splitting it into several pieces. Naruto pulled his hand back to avoid it getting caught in the shards as he looked back to the group. He couldn’t help himself grinning at the sight of everyone in awe of his jutsu. He couldn’t help but love the attention, in a ninja village it was hard to impress people but here where ninja were more heard of than seen, it was a lot easier. “Hey Temari-chan, how about you show them what you can do?” Naruto asked his wife. If they were impressed by that, then he could bet they would be really impressed. Temari’s jutsus were very powerful and a sight to behold. Temari looked over the lake and nodded to herself, this would be the perfect place for her style of training. She doubted that clear cutting the forest would win her points, although she did learn that logging and crafting was a secondary industry for this village the lake as a much better training area. She pulled her iron fan out from behind her. She opened it up all the way to three moons, she wanted to really let loose for some reason. Maybe it was also to show just how strong she was and yet another way to show to those girls she noticed looking at Naruto, that if they wanted him they had to get through her first. It was strange, she was never this possessive in her life before, but Naruto was the exception. As everyone saw the fan unfold, many had had no idea that the large item she carried had been a huge fan. Inari looked at it confused on how that could be used as weapon and decided to say so. “Why do you have a fan? I thought ninja carried really cool weapons?” the young boy asked, not noticing the slight tick Temari got. She hated it when people bad mouthed her choice in weapon just because it wasn’t a more ‘standard’ ninja weapon. Thankfully for the boy Naruto stepped in, “Oh trust me, Temari-chan’s fans are awesome! She can make huge wind blasts, I’ve seen her slice up trees in training with them.” Temari smiled hearing Naruto’s voice, she could feel the pride he had in her. That was something she rarely felt in her life, there had only been Baki and one other that ever praised her skills. Hearing that make her thing back to those times. Both the good and the bad, but she pushed that away as she got herself ready. “Wind Scythe Jutsu!” She shouted as she swung the iron fan before her. Raging winds blew out of the fan as the water of the lake looked like it was in the middle of a storm. The water splashed all over the place as it was displaced by the winds, large waves were formed. Even the water that rose up looked like it was being ‘cut’ and then sent out. It was a powerful and awesome sight to hold for all the non-ninja that looked on. Temari moved the fan behind her with the grace of a dancer as she looked back at everyone. “Wow, Temari-san is so cool!” One of the females shouted out and soon many were looking at Temari with what could only be described as naked admiration. Temari wasn’t used to being praised like that, she tried to hold back a blush not wanting to seem too eager for it. Naruto however couldn’t help but smile at how people were accepting Temari, seeing her like this he felt a sense of pride and something else burning inside of him. He paused as he really looked at her, holding her fan out with the water behind her, the sun hitting her just right. He really did like her, actually it was more than that he was sure. Temari was the first he told his secret too and accepted him, the first girl he kissed, and well, also the first girl he lost his virginity too. He felt a slight blush at those memories, although they had only done that a few times he now saw what the big deal was with sex. Although it didn’t seem like just simple ‘sex’ to him, but something more. But looking at Temari now and thinking back to everything he felt this warmth flood his chest. Was this was love really felt like he wondered, was he really falling in love with Temari? They spent all that time together, slept in the same bed, and did all kinds of things together. She filled his life in ways he never knew before. Plus she looked so beautiful in that moment, so powerful, so pretty and confident. He was glad that he was put into this arranged marriage, at first he had been so worried it would have been an empty one but it wasn’t. “I think her moves are even better than yours,” Inari said grinning up at the boy. “Huh? Hey wait a minute the rasengan was created by the Fourth Hokage and only the greatest ninja know of it!” “It’s just a ball, did you see what she just did though, that was really awesome!” Inari said back to Naruto. Naruto just sighed, was his jutsu really not all that flashy? Well no matter he still felt the rasengan was the coolest thing he had. Although maybe he should start with his wind training while Temari was here, he still could use the help and then he could use his own kickass wind jutsus as well. -Sakura and Sasuke- The two other members of Team 7 were walking in the business district of the village. Sakura could really tell the difference, the stands had not only more items but in better quality. She already had a small bag worth of food that Tsunami needed. She cast a worried look to Sasuke, the boy hadn’t said a word the entire time. She tried to get him to talk but he only communicated in non-verbal ways. She was starting to worry about him as lately he had been a bit more distant with everyone. Ever since he had been put into the hospital by his older brother Itachi, there had been this darkness inside of him. She didn’t know the full details, but something had obviously happened. Sasuke had been thinking long and hard while Sakura shopped, mainly about his lack of power. When he heard that Itachi was after Naruto he had run off to his teammate. Finally after all these years he had met his brother since that day Itachi had killed everyone. All the pain and rage he had kept inside of his heart exploded upon seeing him. He tried his strongest attack that he learned from Kakashi and what did it get him? He was thrown down like a doll, the power his brother had was more than he had thought. Sasuke honestly thought he was strong but that day he had seen truth strength, then he had looked into his brother’s eyes and was thrust back into that hellish nightmare for three days. It had just been too much he had been put into a coma from just that one technique. But it felt like forever for him, all these years, all the training, all the blood and sweat, it had been all for nothing. He was still weak. He needed power, real power to crush Itachi and avenge all those the man had slaughtered. He hadn’t seen all the bodies that night but he knew that Itachi had slaughtered without mercy. Men, women, elderly, even the children were killed, innocent ones that had no reason to be killed. His own parents as well, leaving him all alone in the world. He always wondered why he had lived and everyone else had been killed, was it just because he was Itachi’s brother, was there some reason for it? Well, Sasuke didn’t care for the reason; as long as he breathed Itachi would die for his sins. But not as he was now, Sasuke needed to train more and to learn a lot more. But where would he get that from? Kakashi was training them all equally but it was slowing his own training. Sakura was a weak link in the team since day one, at least Temari was competent. In fact he was feeling a bit envious of Naruto at the moment Temari was a fine specimen of a female ninja, someone like that was the type of woman Sasuke wanted to help him revive his clan. Only a strong woman would do, it was a shame that they chose Naruto. Although why they chose the idiot was beyond him. It was just another thing that made no sense, why did Naruto suddenly get so much stronger in these last few months? In the academy he had been the loser, the dead last all the time. Yet it had been Naruto that had defeated Gaara that had defeated that mask ninja in wave with the ice mirrors, both enemies that he couldn’t beat and yet the idiot had. It was Naruto that got training by one of the Legendary Sannin. Why? What made him so special? There was nothing special about him and yet he kept getting stronger and trained by legends. That was why he had started to train in his curse mark in secret, he knew Kakashi wouldn’t let him but he needed that power. But it wasn’t enough, the learning was slow and he didn’t know enough about the curse mark. He needed something more but he didn’t know what. His mind being pulled back into the present he looked around the area, Sakura was buying something and he looked on. A few girls were pointing and giggling at him, most likely saying how ‘cute’ he was and other such things girls had been saying about him since he could remember. Personally, he could care less what they said. Something caught his eye as he thought he saw movement in the corner of his vision. He carefully looked again but whatever it was, was gone now. Maybe it had been his imagination but he swore he felt a presence following them. He shrugged it off as they continued on. Not far away in an alleyway a figure loomed in the shadows, Sasuke had been right that someone had been following them, in fact they had been shadow for quite some time. As the two genins went on the figure kept their distance as the two were followed. -Elsewhere- Urshui never was one for tracking, even if he was one of the ninja hounds that Kakashi used. The white dog with the blue vest was one of the eight dog team that was assigned to Kakashi Hatake after he had signed the contract with them years ago. Personally he liked being given to Kakashi because the man always was given good missions and he still remembered that one with that Mist ninja that tasted like blood and water. He didn’t bother remembering names, especially the ones of the enemy. But all though he was great at tacking, he like the other dog Bull, preferred actual combat. But that was not the case this time this time their summoner wanted them to keep an eye on the kids. He had been following the one that smelled like a fox and ramen, with the one that smelled of the dessert. He had been hiding all that time but finally he had noticed a strange scent in the trees. He was now following him as the other smaller dog Biscuit stayed behind just in case. So for the last hour he had been following the human who was now sneaking out of the village towards the forest. The man was named Goro, he had been part of one of the crime groups that had been swallowed up by Cain when he took over all of Gato’s old territory. Well no matter for him, old boss or new as long as he got paid. Although he didn’t like going into that village, it held a nasty rumour among the organization that said the place was a curse on them all. It was the reason why they had never tried to go back there, after what happened with Gato and those that the villagers hadn’t caught while escaping no one went there anymore. He really wished he wasn’t sent to that place, and to make things worse the ninja team that had come before seemed to be back again. Goro didn’t take this as a good sign, at any rate he would report back to those new ninja that the boss hired. They were supposed to be around this area somewhere, but damn if he could find them. Then again these were ninja after all. “Where the hell are they?” Goro asked himself feeling a bit nervous. He felt like someone had been watching him but then again he always was paranoid. “I hope you’re talking about us,” a voice came from behind him. Goro turned around and was surprised to see five members in brown cloaks, he was sure they hadn’t been there before but he later realized that he shouldn’t be too surprised. A large male stepped forward who seemed to be the leader of this group. They carried no symbol of what village they were from, a tell tale sign that they were renegades or outlaws. No surprise there, after all the ninja that Gato had hired had been the same. It was common practice for criminals to hire outlaw ninja as those ninja worked cheaper and for anyone to earn a living and to keep one step ahead of hunter ninja. “I take it you have a report,” it was more a statement then anything by the large man. This full bulk was hidden by the cloak and hood but it only seemed to make the man even more intimidating. “Y-Yes, it seems that the village hired that same team as last time. I heard the rumours that they had a new member but I didn’t see who it was. But they’re all in the village at the moment it would seem.” Goro said. “Where you followed?” came the voice of a slim one with long silver hair but with the sides totally shaved. The man had a wild look in his eyes as he looked at Goro almost like he was prey. “O-Of course, even I would have noticed a person following me!” Goro said in his defence, he checked behind him all the time even a ninja he should have seen at least one sign. “Then how do you explain that,” the slim one said as he threw out his arm. Several large discs flew out, as they went a certain distance four sharp blades extended from them. They went into a bush as a yelp was heard and something that left a puff of smoke. “Gin, what was that all about?” The large leader asked. “There was an animal that had been following him, a white dog of some kind. At first I thought it was a wild one but it acted with a lot more intelligence. It had been watching us the entire time and I’m pretty sure it was listening.” The one named Gin explained to him as his sharp grey eyes looked at Goro. “You let yourself be tracked back here.” “I-I never thought to look for an animal, but you killed it didn’t you?” Goro felt more fear then ever at the moment. He swore that he hadn’t been followed and it was proven a lie, plus there was no telling what would happen. Also that Gin, guy was seriously creeping him out, those grey eyes were cold like a killer. “Yes how about it?” A female of the group spoke up. Gin sighed, “Turns out it was a summons, I heard the sound and saw a bit of smoke. That means it returned safely back to its home before being killed. Now the master who summoned it will call it back and find out where are friend here went. Plus since it was a dog its most likely had the man’s scent now.” “So he’s useless then,” a slightly muffled voice was heard, this one had bandages all over the face with the exception of the eyes. “Not entirely, there is still one thing we could use him for. Gin, it’s time for you to make some traps and to bait them.” The leader told him. “T-traps?” Goro asked looking at them as the female of the group turned to face him. “Gin is an expert at trap making.” She explained to him. “So what’s the bait?” Goro asked sweating it was then he noticed how silent things were and how they were all looking at him. He knew what the bait was now, so he did the only thing he could think of. He tried to run, he got about a meter before his world went dark as a pain hit him in the back of his neck.
