Tsunade rubbed her temples to try and remove the ever building headache. 'Seriously, how shitty can my day get?'
Today she had started with a massive hangover. She soon drowned it in sake and found it gave her the buzz she needed to complete all her paper work. Then, there was the whole Sasuke Uchiha attack and nearly killing Naruto. Bad enough the bastard got away. Let alone enter and exit Konoha by using a secret tunnel built by the Uchiha clan. But hey, at least she had the tunnel destroyed.
Oh, and the little detail of the Kyuubi attack and destroying a good part of her village.
'Peachy.' She thought as she overlooked the damaged area from the Hokage Tower. She watched the sun set around her Village as she slumped into her chair. With a sigh she contemplated today's events.
It was no surprise that the council had declared unanimously that the Kyuubi would be executed. They could not control the demon and it was clear that horrid monster had some grudges against Konoha. What did surprise her was the fact that she was able to defeat the Nine Tail Fox so easily.
'Easy my ass.' She thought as she looked down at her broken arm. Something told her that there was more going on then she knew. However, she wasn't about to complain.
'I think I deserve a drink,' Tsunade thought as she brought out her secret stash of sake. After pouring herself some, she wheeled the chair around and refaced the window. Today had been one hell of a day. . .
'Cheers Jiraiya. . . Sarutobi. . . . " She thought as she threw her head back to down the alcoholic beverage just as the sky turned into night.
Her peace, however, was cut off by a sudden series of explosions.
'WHAT THE HELL!?' Tsunade thought as she spat out the sake. She watched in disbelief as the string of explosions tore through Konoha. Shizune, her personal assistant and friend, burst into her office at the same time as her apprentice, Sakura, both looking scared shitless.
"Lady Tsunade bombs are going off throughout Konoha!" Shizune frantically pointed out as yet another loud explosion sent a geyser of rubble into the night sky.
"SEND ALL AVAILABLE NINJA OUT THERE TO HANDLE THE BLAZE! GENIN WILL ESCORT THE VILLAGERS TO THE BUNKERS WHILE ANBU AND JOUNIN STOP THE FIRES FROM SPREADING! ONCE THESE FIRES ARE OUT, CALL IN EVERY JOUNIN! I WANT A MEETING WITH ALL OF THEM TO DISCUSS THIS ATTACK!" Tsunade hollered as she slammed her fist into the desk, successfully breaking it into two pieces.
Suddenly, an eruption tore through the Hokage building, shaking it to the foundations. The whole building shook with tremendous force, throwing everyone to the ground. The wide windows of the Hokage office shattered around Tsunade giving her only a few small cuts.
She watched as both women disappeared with her orders before she watched wide eyed as the city was set ablaze and grew a brilliant red hue as it grew dark. Outside she could see little, black dots race around trying to stop the flames. Was this a terrorist plot or were they under attack by some unseen enemy? Either way this would be returned a hundred fold. There was no way in hell that this was an accident.
The next day the fires had been put out. The charred remains littered the city. A dark, grey hue now shadowed the city as the once proud and glorious buildings were nothing but ash. The various villagers and ninjas milled around, some clearing rubble while others sat, stunned at the sudden attack.
Tsunade rubbed her head in aggravation. There had been no casualties, luckily, and the only buildings that were damaged or burnt down were either vacant, condemned, or otherwise not in use. However, this only added to her suspicion.
'Either whoever did this made a huge miscalculation or had been given the wrong information.' The Lady Hokage thought as she looked out over her city. She felt a tinge of anger and pain at the sad shape of the village. Her village.
"Lady Hokage! We have a crisis!" Shizune burst into her office looking evermore pale and scared. Tsunade tunned towards her assistant and feared that today was far worst than she had first thought.
"Well, spit it out!" She hollared at her long time companion.
Shizune flinched a little. There was no easy way of explaining this. . .
"The Kyuubi has escaped. . . and I did a head count at the Jounin meeting. . . Naruto is missing!"
"WHAT!?" The Hokage's scream was heard for miles around.
"Hey, Kyuubi? I have a few more questions." Naruto poked the female demon as she lazed about under a sakura tree. They had decided to stop and rest after three days of straight travel. She herself could go on for years without rest, but decided that the human needed to rest sooner or later.
Kyuubi groaned as she opened her crimson eyes to the young blonde. She was tired of all his constant, bothersome questions. All the way for the last three days he had asked her every question possible: How many demons were there? How many had she meet? How did she get her tails? Did the tails have a mind of their own? She had answered all his questions and was just relaxing when he decided to bug her again.
"Okay. . . three more questions. But, that is it. Got it?" Kyuubi let the threat hang in the air as she sat up. The orange clad ninja shook his head enthusiastically and quickly pondered what to ask her first.
" Alright, how did you escape my seal without killing me? The Akasuki killed Gaara when they pulled out his demon, so why didn't it kill me?" Naruto asked her.
'Great. Now he asks the hard questions.' Kyuubi thought as she meekly sighed.
"Simply put. Your seal was too weak to hold me." The demon answered.
"My seal?" Naruto asked as he laid a hand on the thing. He figured it had to with the thing. When he had first learned about his father and the seal he hated the man. Hell, he even punched his father's ghost/ soul in the face. But, as he had discovered, he could never wish someone to take the seal. No one deserved to experience the pains that he had gone through because of the thing.
"This counts as the second question." Kyuubi said irritably. When Naruto didn't answer she continued. " After years and years of abuse the seal was severely weakened. After you went up to eight tails of my power, it nearly broke. . . till your bastard father showed up." Naruto shot her a dirty look.
"Sorry, old habits die hard." Kyuubi said as she rubbed the back of her head. "Anyways, what finally broke the seal was the sword that use to belong to that snake bastard."
"Oorochimaru's sword? The one Sasuke has now?" Naruto asked as he rubbed his chin in thought.
"Yes, that's the one." Kyuubi replied with a snap of her fingers. "That's a special sword. When that Sasuke fellow stabbed you, he pierced your seal and pushed it into overload. This allowed me a small window to escape."
"Alright, I guess that makes sense." Naruto answered. In truth, however, it was still rather confusing. . . unlike his father, seals were never his strong point.
"One more thing Kyuubi."
"Oh?" She asked, curious of his final question. The look on his face suggested that this was perhaps his most serious question yet.
"How come you got beat so easily by Tsunade and Kakashi?" Naruto asked her.
Kyuubi face faulted. "WHAT THE HELL KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT!?" The demoness bellowed at the unfortunate Jounin.
"I was just asking." Naruto replied, afraid that the demon before him might evaporate the entire area. She continued to eye him angrily as he shrank under her gaze. With a huff she pondered how to best explain to the knucklehead ninja.
"In order for me to escape your seal, I needed to use a lot of power," She started. "however, in order for me to completely to exit your body I had to leave behind most of my power." Naruto slowly nodded his head in understanding.
"When I fought your Hokage I had, at most, only four tails of power to spare. Fortunately, because humans are so weak, I was able to stand toe- to- toe with her. I would have beaten her too, but that other ninja-"
" Kakashi?" Naruto asked, interrupting her.
"Yes, him." Kyuubi snorted as she crossed her arms with a scowl. " With that outside interference, I was just weak enough for them to capture me."
"Most of my power has yet to return. . . I have six tails right now. Had I stayed at the village they might have succeeded in killing me." The demon said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"So were are the rest of your chakara?" Naruto gulped. He had a sinking feeling in his gut. But, he didn't dare want to say it out load. There was only one place those powers could be and that was. . .
"Yeah. Still inside the seal. . . in you." Kyuubi said with a predator- like grin.
"So the demon escaped?" Tsunade asked as she surveyed the damage of the ANBU prison complex. The walls were damaged with explosion marks, kunai, swords, broken ANBU masks, and various other things.
"Yes, Lady Hokage, an outside ally assisted in its escape." The ANBU captain said. Though his voice was calm and collected, he was sweating behind his mask.
'To think, one person took on the entire ANBU and waltzed out of a highly secured facility.' He shuddered at the thought. 'He must have been some type of demon!' He concluded.
"You are dismissed captain." Tsunade whispered as she gazed at the now empty cell that housed the dreaded Kyuubi. The captain disappeared in a poof a smoke and the room feel silent.
'The hell is going on?' The Hokage thought fiercely. The Kyuubi escapes with the help of an unknown assistant and now Naruto has vanished into thin air? In her gut, she knew that Naruto's disappearance was tied to the Kyuubi's escape. But how?
'There is only one possible explanation for this. . .' Tsunade thought.
"Sakura." Tsunade turned to her apprentice who was leaning against the stone walls of the ANBU prison.
"Y-Yes?" Sakura asked nervously. Something in her gut told her that this was bad.
"Get me Kakashi and Anko." Tsunade said as she and Sakura made their ways down the damaged halls of the prison. "Has Team Gai returned yet?"
Sakura struggled to keep up with her busty master. Sakura shifted through her memory of who had returned. When the attack had began, Tsunade sent all available messenger hawks to any ninja outside of the village. Most of them had rushed back to find their village a burnt mess.
"Yes, Team Gai returned late last night. Oh, and Team Kurenai is a day away. Other than that, all other teams arrived safe and sound." Sakura replied to her master.
"Alright," Tsunade said as she came to a sudden halt. "Gather up Kakashi, Anko, Gai, Lee, and Shikamaru. Then, when Kurenai's team gets here, get me Hinata and Kiba too."
"Yes. Right away!" Sakura said as she disappeared.
"Kyuubi I want something." Naruto spoke grimily. It was time to put his plan into action.
Kyuubi looked him straight in the eyes. Her grin seemed to grow evermore. "Oh, and what is that?" She had an idea of what he wanted. . . but he'd have to work for it.
"I want you to promise me that you will never harm the Hidden Leaf Village." Naruto spoke with the tone of a true sage. The pair of red eyes flashed as they locked onto the stormy blue eyes of her former jailor. Kyuubi lifted one crimson eyebrow in mock confusion. All was going to plan so far.
"Isn't my word good enough?" She asked, reveling her fangs in the process. Naruto only shook his head.
"I will need more than your word on this." Naruto confronted her. He was playing right into her bluff. She had him now.
"Even after they beat you? Even after they shunned you? Left you alone and never gave a damn about you?" She probed. She was well aware of what those villagers did to the boy. The years of loneliness, hatred, and pain had taken this boy of a childhood. Now, where did he stand on this topic? She just had to know.
"Yes." He defiantly snapped back catching her off-guard. "They did do that. But, there are people who I'd die for in there!"
Meanwhile in The Village Hidden in the Leaves-
"Alright, your mission is simple," Tsunade's fiery eyes gazed over the ninja's before her. "We believe a highly dangerous S-Classed person has captured Naruto. Your mission: Bring him back."
Kakashi, Anko, Lee, Gai, Kiba, Hinata, and Shikamaru all nodded in understanding. Only Kakashi, Gai, and Anko knew who they were really going after. Tsunade decided that they only needed to know who or rather what they were dealing with. There was no need for a full blown panic.
"Kiba, Hinata, Lee, and Shikamaru will see to it that Naruto is brought back while Kakashi, Gai, and Anko hold off the S-Class assailant. After you have safely evacuated him, you will all meet back up at Waterfall Village. We are not here to take down this criminal, only to rescue Naruto. Is that clear?" The Hokage carefully informed them of what needed to be done. If this went smoothly, which she doubted, then they might be able to prevent a disaster on a global scale. Heavens know the last thing she needed was a demon rampaging around.
"Lady Tsunade?" A soft voice asked from the doorway. All heads turned to meet the pink- haired Sakura.
"Yes?" Tsunade asked respectfully, curious of Sakura's actions.
"I want to go and rescue Naruto too!" Sakura blurted out, only to blush as she realized what she had done.
"I am sorry Sakura, " Tsunade said sadly "But I can't risk-"
"If we are going after an S-Class then," Kiba voiced out loud "we may need a medic." Sakura nodded, quietly thanking him for his help. Akamaru barked in agreement.
Tsunade had no choice. She knew how important Naruto was to her. To all of those gathered there. To those who he had helped. The Sanin left out a frustrated sigh.
"Fine! You leave in the morning. Dismissed!" She concluded.
"Yes!" And with that Mission: Rescue Naruto had begun.
" Precious people?" Kyuubi mumbled to herself.
"Precious people make you strong. Without them I would be nothing! Because of that," Naruto pumped out his fist towards the demon. " I will protect them with my life. Believe it!"
Kyuubi's eyes grew big after listening to the human. She mused over her precious people. Kyuubi had never had anyone look out for her. Ever. Wherever she had gone, she meet only anger and hatred. Not one person had ever stuck out his or her neck for the Great Kyuubi. Until, Naruto.
"Alright Kit," Kyuubi whispered while hiding her eyes under her bangs. "How about we make a contract."
"A contract?" The Jounin asked. He had made a few contracts with the frogs. . . but with a demon? Even this blockhead knew he had just jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Kyuubi nodded her head. "A contract signed in blood. One that if one was to break, you would die."
Sorry for the delay. Life has a funny way of causing a virus to infect your commuter and thus killing your hard drive. :( But hey I am back! I have returned after two years! =^.^=
Next Time: The Contract
See Ya Soon!
