Naruto of the Shinju

Chapter 16: Revealed Abilities

Naruto slept for a few hours in his paradise dimension. Before anyone would wake up, he used Yomotsu Hirasaka to exit the dimension and it was entirely dawn when he returned. He waited for several moments then some codes appeared, from his subordinates, a message that they successfully built another fortress at Hoshigakure, their another hideout. Pleased by these results, he smiled and wrote another set of codes which flew off going to his subordinates, telling them now's the right time to execute one of their plans.

Morning came; he went back to the camp. Seeing everyone awake, Kakashi asked him.

"How was your sleep, specifically that you're alone?"

"I slept marvelously. The cold wind brushing my skin lulled me to sleep, the silence of the night and the absence of people made it all better", he replied smiling.

"Let's get to the mission now".

Several minutes later….

They were now riding a boat and he could see that the mist is extremely thick, not to mention highly dangerous and also quite advantageous at the same time, considering the mists can be used as a hiding place for ninjas who don't want to be seen when tracking someone. Smirking at the idea, he could feel that there are people coming towards them.

"How did Gato get so rich by the way?", Sakura asked, breaking the silence.

"Perhaps he inherited it.", Kakashi replied.

"I doubt so. Maybe he got it through corruption and some assassinations", Naruto said.

"He's a poor excuse for a human being", says Tazuna.

"Considering that fact, he may have hired missing-nins and that's what makes this mission dangerous. Missing-nins are commonly S-ranked, and they are not to be underestimated", Kakashi said.

A few minutes have passed, the boat stopped by at the bank of the river.

"Good luck stopping the moron", says the rower. And then he rows away.

"Now that we are here, guard Tazuna", ordered Kakashi.

The three nodded.

As they were walking, Naruto thought back at Kurama. He was sure that one day this bijuu would betray him, that's why he sent a coded message to his subordinates never to trust this individual. At least, they have two hideouts for now, yet one was temporary to which is Uzushio. Hoshigakure is a stable hideout where they would let Toneri rule as the Hoshikage while Naruto himself was the true power behind the position. They will use the village itself as a prison for captured people, civilians or ninjas alike. This place would also serve as one of his subordinates' homes for their benefit.

Sensing something, he threw a kunai at the bushes. A cry of an animal could be heard before the kunai was embedded into the tree.

Everyone was shocked as to what Naruto did. Looking to where he threw the kunai, they saw that the kunai was embedded into a white rabbit.

"Naruto, why did you kill the rabbit? Poor animal", Sakura exclaimed.

"Rabbits aren't supposed to be white. It's in the middle of spring", Naruto replied.

"Get down!", Kakashi shouted.

As the got down, a massive sword flew out of nowhere, spinning like a boomerang and embedding itself on a nearby tree.

"Copy Ninja Kakashi, as expected, no wonder why the Demon Brothers lost"

"Momochi Zabuza, Demon of the Hidden Mist"
