Political Alliance
Chapter 26: Prisoner
By the time Kakashi made it to where he found the rest of his team, Sakura and Sasuke were already trying dig Naruto out of the wreckage he was under. He had to admit, it was lucky that Naruto wasn’t killed. If his head had been caught between two of those trunks, it would have been crushed and not even the Nine-Tails could have fixed that. It did have its limits after all. After he got a small and very short report while helping out he got an idea of what happened. Sakura and Sasuke had been slowed down by the traps and got here too late to help. Temari and Naruto had taken one member out but had been surprised by a wind user by the looks of things. Naruto said he didn’t get a good look at things as he had been blindsided it seemed. Temari wasn’t in the area and from what he could see in the tracks it was clear to him.
He called out his hounds to get them to track down Temari as he helped to dig Naruto out from the broken trees. They would be able to track them before they got too far away. While digging out Naruto he took noticed of the area as well. Looking at the signs of disturbance in the grass and ground, as well as other signs he saw.
Whoever the other person was, it was obviously female from the small and light footprints. Although she did seem to be carrying something heavy as the prints were deeper for a person of that kind of height and weight. Even on average size of the person he could estimate from the foot print, she was carrying some weight that wasn’t her own. Maybe armour or a large weapon of some kind was his best guess. He had seen where Temari had most likely been sitting. This he got from the disturbance in the ground, as well as the damage to the bark of the tree she had been against. Then it looked like the female tracks got heavier, most likely from carrying Temari and her fan by that point. That was a lot of weight, which was a good thing for them. It would slow down the girl but if she caught up with her team, then they would be able to travel faster by splitting the load.
Well the enemy had been more prepared it seemed or maybe it was just bad luck they had run into someone with traps experience. If they had run into someone else, the battle would most likely had gone much differently and with the possibility of the enemy not being aware of them. Now that option wasn’t there. Of course now that they had Temari things changed even more. They would have to chase after them now, Kakashi didn’t abandon his teammates, not anymore at least. He made that mistake once and once was enough. Plus there was also the political fallout, Temari just happens to die on a mission outside the village away from witnesses so soon after the marriage? The trip to Snow had worried him at first but he thought that things wouldn’t get too bad. Well that hadn’t gone to plan either, thankfully things had turned out okay. Only now it was Temari that was captured and not Naruto this time around.
So if Temari were killed in this mission well it wouldn’t be good. He was sure that there would be a number of people that would raise hell over that issue in both villages. Some in Suna would blame Konoha and it could hurt the new alliance as it was still very fragile.
He sighed, this was why Kakashi hated politics.
This was why Kakashi felt uncomfortable with this marriage deal, not only had it put Naruto in a tough spot but also made things harder for both villages is something were to happen to them. Well at least Naruto was happy with Temari, that was something that Kakashi was glad for. For too long he had to just observe Naruto from the shadows as he grew up. He knew who Naruto’s parents were from the start, but he couldn’t do anything. So he stuck to the shadows when he could to watch. He couldn’t watch him all the time as he was highly busy, most likely the main reason he couldn’t have looked out for the boy.
He also knew that Naruto wouldn’t stop until they had Temari back. So Kakashi would see to it that the new Team 7 wasn’t broken on its first major mission.
They finally managed to dig out Naruto as he was holding his shoulder. There was some blood on his lip, either from a split lip or something else. Kakashi couldn’t see any open wounds, most likely healed by now, as well as any internal injuries. He looked at the arm and noticed from years of combat injuries that Naruto’s shoulder was dislocated.
“Naruto I’m going to have to pop your shoulder back in. This will hurt for a moment, on three I’ll do it okay?” Kakashi told him as he gripped his arm and shoulder.
Naruto didn’t say anything he just nodded as he clenched his jaw. Kakashi could see the same look of determination that he had, when Naruto had plunged his own kunai into his hand to get the poison out of it.
Kakashi counted to one, then wrenched the arm back into the socket without even getting to the count of two. Naruto screamed out in pain for a second before glaring at Kakashi.
“What happened to two and three!?” Naruto asked him feeling his arm hurt but he could at least move it now.
“This way you don’t flinch at three and it makes it easier to put back in. Plus when you’re expecting pain it’s the worse.” Kakashi said with a shrug as Naruto pouted at the man, clearly not happy about it. “Now come on, we need to hurry and give chase but keep your guard up. We don’t know how many there are left or what they have planned. But Temari is now bait for us, they’ll try and use her against us.”
“They better not harm her,” Naruto growled out.
“Don’t worry Naruto, we’ll get her back.” Sakura said trying to comfort him but he didn’t say anything. He was too focused on getting back Temari.
Team 7 followed the trail, soon it seemed that the tracks they were following were met up with a few more. Kakashi counted a total of three now, there might be more but he felt confident that was their total forces for the ninja. There might be other surprises but nothing they shouldn’t be able to handle. Along the way one of his dogs was running towards them. They paused as the dog came up to them. The dog had what Kakashi thought was a pair of sticks at first. But then the hound let them drop to the ground. They hadn’t been on the ground for more than a second before Naruto ran towards them and took them. He grimaced as he felt the dog’s slobber on them but he didn’t care, he knew what they were.
They were the smaller fans that he gave Temari as a present.
“These belong to Temari-chan’s,” Naruto said looking at the small battle fans. He still remembered how happy she had been with his gift, the first real gift he had given someone too.
“Was this dropped by Temari to show us the way or dropped by the ninja to lure us in?” Sakura asked Kakashi.
“Could be either one honestly, but let’s hurry. They can’t be too far ahead of us by this point.” Kakashi said as they traveled on. Naruto putting the fan into his equipment pouch, he was sure to give this gift back to Temari when he got the chance.
-Cain’s Headquarters-
In the large grounds hidden in a forest stood the compound where the criminal known as Cain held his seat of power. However he was not happy with the report he had just gained from the ninja he had hired. He had been looking over reports and giving out orders when a messenger gave him a short report from the leader of the rogue ninja group. What he read wasn’t something he was pleased with, two ninja were dead. Too bad that wouldn’t lower the price for their services. Thankfully they weren’t asking for more payment, but at this moment he was wishing they would. He had left his office as he made his way down the halls.
The place had once been home to a small time lord from Wave who fell on hard times. Mostly due to gambling problems and the place had to be sold off. After Gato died, Cain had given time setting this place up. It was like a small fortress, which was perfect for him. It also held a small dungeon, which was where he was heading now. He found the door to the lower levels, the cold dark stone was there to meet him as he carefully walked his way down passing guards. He came to one of the few cells with the ninja gathered there arguing over what to do with their prisoner.
He case a look and saw a young blonde teenage girl chained up to the floor. She looked a little beat up but nothing major. He wasn’t shocked or anything by her age, hell he had seen younger boys in street gangs killing each other off. So a young ninja like this was nothing to him.
“I still say we should kill her for what she did to Gin.” Said a young woman with long red hair. She wore a large black cloak with a hood with strange paint on her face. It was all white with red marking making her look like some kind of doll. Cain thought she was the one called Yoko.
“Because she’s bait,” Goro the large leader said to her. “They’ll come to us now.”
“So?” Yoko asked him. “With Natsu and Gin gone we’re at a loss. Plus it’s not like they’ll know she’s dead either.”
“Idiot,” Kimi said to her who was resting against a wall looking bored. “After this we can ransom her to Suna or Konoha. Given how important she is, or even use her death to start a war between them. If you paid attention more to world events you would know this. Personally I would rather whatever hurts Suna gets my vote.”
“Wow, that’s so cold of you. Wasn’t that your village before?” Yoko teased only to get a glare from the older girl.
“That village is dead to me,” Kimi said coldly.
Cain felt it was time to address his hired help as it were. “Goro, I thought I hired you to take care of that Wave village. And what do I get? This page saying that you were defeated and only managed to take one hostage?”
Goro, even though a large man, could see that Cain wasn’t one to cower before him. That was a rare thing but most likely because his current employer wasn’t weak like most criminals. Even though the other man’s tone wasn’t condescending he could hear the annoyance in it. “It was a tactical loss, I didn’t expect a seasoned opponent. They came at use from the sides instead of a stealth move up the middle of our formation.”
“The girl is only the bait to lure them here, plus we’re keeping her alive as a dead hostage is no good if they want proof.” Goro cast a look to Yoko who just sniffed at the last comment.
“But why here?” Cain asked of him feeling slightly angered that the man would use his place for this. “I do have other areas under my control that you could have used. And now that team is most likely on their way here. I can’t have a battle here of all places.”
Goro just shrugged, “This is the best defended area, plus all the men you have here will be used to slow down and weaken the enemy force.”
“You’re not using my men as cannon fodder, you don’t get to make that choice!” Cain told him.
“We’re at a numbers disadvantage,” Goro said calmly. “We need to weaken them down, then we can take them out. When we do you can do what you want with the girl. Maybe you can ransom her back to Suna or something, it would make up for any damages. After her team is taken care of, we no longer need her, then we’ll get back to the mission at hand.”
Cain thought about that, sure he didn’t like to waste resources. It took time and money to get good help and to train up his people. He didn’t like the thought of throwing them away just to weaken a small group. But this small group were ninja and he knew that in a fight his men couldn’t stand up to that. They were too well trained, too experienced and too powerful for normal people to take on. Plus looking at the Suna girl who was quietly looking at them with a cold look, there might be some profit in it. If she was important and it was found out he had a hand in her death, he want a village posting a bounty on his head.
But to ransom her back, well that could be something else entirely. She might want revenge for being captured and her team killed. But honestly, she wouldn’t be able to unless it was an official mission. Ninja got captured and ransomed before, it was rare but it did happen if the person was important enough and they didn’t have to kill said person.
He might make enough profit to cover his losses, maybe even a bit more if he was lucky enough. “Fine then, but be sure you kill these other ninja. Then we can ransom the girl back and be done with it.” Cain told his hired ninja.
Meanwhile, Temari had been watching silently the entire time. She was taking mental notes on everything she could. She had been doing since she first woke up in this cell.
The first thing she noticed was that she was sitting down and chained up in a dark, stone cell. Her cold ass told her that she had to have been sitting there for a while. She had first felt a moment of panic before her training kicked in. She had to remain calm and steady, she had to escape that was her first duty. She noticed that they had stripped her of her gear. Plus her arms were shackled above her head. She couldn’t move them and her shoulder that had been injured, was now screaming out at the rest of her body.
Then the others had come in. She had kept quiet as they had argued over what to do with her, thankfully they seemed to be in a hurry. That meant they didn’t have time to get any kind of information out of her about her team. She was thankful for that, not as if she could have said anything anyway. But if she had been physically tortured it would have given her troubles escaping. She didn’t fear that, as a ninja it was expected when captured, she just got lucky this time.
When the others had finally left and for some reason Kimi was still there against the wall. Now that it was just them Temari felt it was time to get some questions answered.
Temari looked at the women across from her through the bars of the door. “I was told you were dead, but it seems that was a lie to me for some reason.”
Kimi looked at her for a moment, “Not totally Temari. When I learned what that monster you call a brother did, I went to the Kazekage. I begged and demanded that Gaara be punished for his actions and you know what? I was told to forget it, to leave it alone.” The contempt on Kimi’s face and in her voice was all too clear.
“They said that Gaara was too valuable as a weapon. They said that those that got in a way should have been more careful. They talked about those that died like they were nothing, they treated them like nothing, they treated him like he was nothing! He wasn’t ‘nothing’ to me, and when they told me to go I couldn’t take it anymore.”
“They just shrugged it off as though it hadn’t happened, but to those left behind it we couldn’t stand for it. We found out that they sent Gaara out alone to keep him away from others just in case he was feeling more bloodthirsty. So we went to finally finish off that monster.” Kimi rubbed her arm as though an old injury was acting up. “We thought we could surprise him...we were wrong. He slew us like we were nothing to him. I was knocked off the wall, I don’t know how far I fell or how many times I smashed against the wall before I blacked out.”
“One of the people who were sympathetic to us found me, he told me I was a mess and barely alive. He told the others I had been killed by the fall, I guess I looked bad enough to pass that off.” Kimi pulled her sleeve to show many ugly looking scars on the skin. “I woke up a month later from a coma, my body was a mess and I found I was hidden in someone’s home. They cared for me until I was healthy enough to leave. I was listed as dead in the village, and so if I showed my face I would be executed. So one night at a shift change I left the village and you know what? I never looked back. That village took from me the only man I’ve ever loved, the best thing in my life.”
Temari could see all the anger and pain in Kimi’s eyes and voice. She wanted to tell her she was sorry that it had happened that she never wanted any of this to happen. That Gaara had changed and he wasn’t the monster he used to be. But it all died in her throat, how could she tell her any of this? The woman had lost everything she had every right to be angry. There was nothing she could say to take any of the pain and suffering the woman had gone through. Her heart broke because she knew that her brother and father were to blame for her pain.
There was no way to make up for it, no way that she could take it all back. There was an ugly silence there between them. Kimi seemed to tired of it and left Temari alone in the dark dungeon like area.
Temari watched as the woman who had shaped her life walked away. She listened to the foot steps going up the stone steps. Temari closed her eyes as she listened to everything around her, she counted her heart beats as well. Once she was up to a hundred and after hearing no other noise then her heart and her breathing she knew she was alone. Now it was the time for action. She looked up to get a better look at how her arms were chained up.
She could tell that the manacles on her writers were held above her head. Also the chain to the wall was so short that she couldn’t move her arms all that much. This prevented her from moving from her sitting position. It was an effective way to keep a ninja restrained. She could hardly move and she couldn’t use hand seals as her hands were too far apart. Her fingers could only just barely touch each other the way they were at the moment.
She looked to one of her shoes and smirked seeing that they had missed something when they searched her. After that mission to Snow Country, she had asked Naruto how he had gotten out of a cell with that chakra draining device on his stomach. He had shown her a trick of his, of how he had placed a hidden file in his shoe. Seeing how effective it had been, she had asked him to show her how to modify her shoes for the same reason.
The only problem was getting at it. Because of her limited ability to move her arms and that she was in a sitting position it wouldn’t be easy. Hell, most people wouldn’t be able to, but thankfully she just might be agile enough for it. She took a few breaths to calm herself as she slowly moved her leg up and then bent it towards her. It wasn’t easy getting her foot to her mouth, but she was flexible. Temari managed with her teeth to pull off the small cap where the file was. With her tongue she got the small metal ring and managed to pull it out. Thankfully too, it was starting to hurt to be in that position and with her arms stretching as they were, it was hard to breath like this.
Now the only problem was getting it to her one of her hands. Thankfully her shoes exposed her toes and with her large toe and the one next to it, she slowly managed to grip it. It was a lot harder to get it to her hands. The way her body was bending she couldn’t get any air into her lungs but she pushed on. She felt her joints starting to protest but when one of her hands felt the small metal piece she gripped it. Her leg fell back down as she took a much needed breath.
“Thank you Naruto,” She whispered out as she started to make slow progress with the chain on one wrist. She might not be able to get the shackles off but she could cut them off the chain.
-Outside Cain’s Headquarters-
Team 7 arrived at the edge of the forest as they looked at the compound. Kakashi took a very long and careful look at the place. He could see armed men walking the perimeter, they were on the ground and on the walls. He was surprised by the place that they had come across it, he hadn’t expected something like this out here. He took note of how the guards were stationed, whoever was organizing this knew a bit about security. The guards always seemed to keep one group in sight of another. There also seemed to be those on the wall that looked at the guards on the ground. If they were counting the groups that would make things difficult, as taking one group out would alert the guards pretty fast.
They needed to plan this out carefully, he had a good idea of what the other team was up to. They were going to use these men to wear them down making it easier for them to take out Team 7. At least that’s what Kakashi would do in their place, you had to fight smarter not harder. So if he had to play their game, he wasn’t going to make it easier for the other side. Sure the enemy had numbers but numbers could also be used against you.
‘Then again,’ Kakashi thought looking at Naruto. ‘We have an army all our own, I don’t think they know our full skills.’
He could see that Naruto was just barely holding himself from rushing down there and causing all kinds of chaos. But that would be very dangerous, but maybe he could use Naruto’s energy for another plan.
“Everyone, get out your smoke bombs and your paper bombs as well,” Kakashi said as he dug into his vest for them. He needed to see what they had to work with, but they should have enough. Seeing what they had, he split half of them and gave them to Naruto.
“Kakashi-sensei what do you want me to do with these?” Naruto asked him wondering what he had in mind. It was a lot of explosive power he was holding in his hands.
“We’ll have to wait until dark,” he raised a hand to cut off Naruto’s protest when he saw it coming. “Naruto we have a better chance at getting to her at dark. We’ll use that to our advantage, they won’t be able to see that well at night and also this will be a lot easier to do what you do best.”
“Huh, what I do best?” Naruto asked, “What’s that?”
“Being unpredictable and causing chaos,” Kakashi smirked.
Sasuke snorted at how accurate that was, mainly the last part. Naruto glared at the Uchiha, normally he’d yell at what he thought was so funny but he knew better than to yell while hiding like this.
“So you want Naruto to use all that as a distraction?” Sakura guessed as Naruto knew how to make a lot of noise and cause pandemonium.
“Well not him personally, but his shadow clones will,” Kakashi started to explain the plan. Naruto would create a lot of clones and get them in position around the entire compound. They would set off smoke bombs and explosions and harass the guards. This would give the illusion that they would be under attack by a bigger force, plus all of the confusion would make it much simpler to slip into the compound. They would wait until night fall and then the clones would start the attack. It would also give Kakashi time to see the patrol routes and pick an area that would have the least amount of guards.
“Everyone understand the plan?” Kakashi asked.
Everyone nodded as Naruto called up his clones and gave them their orders. He looked to the sky, they only had a couple of hours of sun left. It would be a long wait for him, but he was here and he was going to get Temari out of there. And if they harmed her in any way, he was going to make them pay for it ten times as much.
When night did fall the forest the guards did their shift change. Out on the wall one of the guards yawed as he made his way to the position. He hated the night shift, it was boring and it was hard to sleep enough during the day. He tried to get put onto the day shift, but the jerk of a boss hated him. This was not the glamorous life of being part of a criminal empire that he imagined. But what was he to do? He stole that money from his temple in his home town when he left that dead beat place. Not like he could go back and sweat it out in this old man’s shop for the rest of his life. He’d rather die than do that crap.
Besides it was so much easier and more fun taking what you wanted. So he joined up with this group as he soon as he could. It wasn’t all bad, when they got days off him and the boys went to the villages and raised hell and visited the good spots in the red light areas of the bigger cities.
The other thing he hated about the night shift was that it was boring as hell, you could hardly see anything, the noises in the forests didn’t help either. You weren’t sure if it was an animal or if someone was out there, it got old and it sucked when it rained. So when he got to his post and everything went dark he sighed. Another boring night sitting here on the wall, it was only an hour later when the first few explosions happened. Several large explosions in the woods around them happened almost at the same time. Then suddenly a few explosions hitting the walls, thick smoke was rolling in from several areas. Men were shouting out orders, alarm bells were ringing. Men were shouting out attacks over the sounds of explosions and then screaming.
He had no idea what was going on, everything was happening so fast, how many were there out there? A man next to him screamed in pain as what looked like a shuriken was imbedded into his arm. A kunai hit a spot further away as the explosive tag on it went off. Parts of the stone walls were blasted away as the chunks flew off hitting the others who were standing too close. The rocks were like little missiles as they hit the unfortunately men. It was pure chaos as those in charge tried to establish some order. Groups were sent into the forest to find and kill the attackers, while archers were called up to the walls. By that time it getting hard to see, smoke from small fires mixed in with that from smoke bombs. Some areas men couldn’t see what was happening and were panicking.
While all this happened, Team 7 silently made their way to one of the walls. It was one of the less defended areas, as many of the guards there had left to reinforce the walls being attacked. They ran silently as they quickly ran straight up the walls. These weren’t built with ninja in mind, these walls were build to keep out bandits or enemy forces. To a ninja, these walls were just a small hurdle to get over and wouldn’t slow them down much. When they reached the top only three guards were there, with a surprised look on their faces as four people jumped over the wall.
They didn’t even get a chance to shout out a warning before they were taken out.
Kakashi looked over the area, he saw two main entrances and he figured that anyone being held prisoner would be in the most hard to get to place. It would either a tower or a dungeon by his experience. He nodded to Sakura and Sasuke, they had planned this out earlier that they would split into two groups. They would find Temari and then deal with Cain. If they found any enemy ninja they were to avoid them if possible, especially if they were outnumbered.
As the two groups left they never once noticed another shadowy figure go up the wall behind them. The form looked around and then started to follow one of the two groups. With all the chaos around them it was easy to follow without being noticed.
