Naruto Goes to London

Chapter 6

Kuro, the black smith, told Tsunade everything about the sword Naruto had him make. The part about how only him and Naruto were able to touch it, about how the stone it was made from was able to absorb chakra and, most importantly, about how it was able to find it's owner, AKA, Naruto. Right once he announced that last part, Tsunade called in three ANBU members and sent them to go find Jiraiya. Surprisingly, he was close by - read: still in the village - and was there in just seconds. When he had one foot in the window, Tsunade repeated the main parts of what she was told by Kuro and they began discussing strategies. Kuro, who was not understanding most of what they were saying and not feeling needed, began to walk towards the door.

Only to be stopped by Tsunade.

"Where do you think you're going?" Kuro looked confused to why he was being stopped.

"Back to my shop. What else can I do?"

"What do you mean? You're helping on this mission! You're the only other person who can touch the sword, right? You have to direct us! Now, Jiraiya, who do we have left in the village to go on this mission?"

"Well, there's always Ank-"

"We need him sane and unharmed."

"What about Iruka? And what about those little brats Naruto's always messing around with? Sensei's grandson and his friends."

"You mean Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi? They might be too young to do this…"

"Konohamaru knows the rasengan. Naruto taught him. Oh, and shadow clone jutsu."

"GOD DAMNIT GAKI!" She shouted, hoping Naruto could hear her, even if she was secretly glad he did such a reckless thing.

.....................

"ACHOO! Kurama, I think I caught a cold… Just kidding! That's not possible! Someone's talking about me I bet!" Naruto said to his former tenant who was sitting on the end of his bed.

"I wouldn't be too surprised if you actually are sick, kit. You haven't left the bed all day." Naruto, due to dizzy spells he had been having since he had gotten to London, was, as Kurama said,l in bed. And much to his annoyance, too.

"Nope! Never gotten sick in my life, not gonna start now. What else is there?" Kurama shot Naruto his coldest glare he could muster up. It didn't really scare Naruto at all (not that it was that cold, Kurama was looking at his kit, after all).

"Kit, I know it's unusual for a jinchuriki to get sick, but it's not im-" he cut off for a moment before continuing. "Impossible. The only other thing that could have happened is poison…" Kurama seemed to think for a moment before his eyes widened. "Naruto," He said. The young blond looked up at him. Kurama hadn't used his name in a long, long, long time. "Who were you fighting again?" Naruto looked through his foggy brain, trying to remember. The man's name was lost, but not what he had specialized in.

"Poison…" Kurama nodded in confirmation. "I don't remember getting hit by anything though! And almost no poisons work on me!"

"He most likely was using his strongest one. If he's able to make a jinjuriki get this sick when they resist poisons, he must have been a very high ranking master. And I'm guessing you didn't take this mission serious and forgot to read all of the file. And that you aren't fully sure that you killed him. Poison masters are able to make more than just poison, such as potions that allow rapid regeneration or suspended animation. Some have even been able to freeze themselves from the inside out until one of their comrades are able to come help them. There's a chance he was able to do that to himself before you 'killed' him." Naruto seemed to think over what he just heard before accepting that he was poisoned. It sounded better than being sick.
