Ch 33

Kurama's POV

KN "Alright, we're all here. Is everyone alright?"

K "I'm okay, everything is cleaned up and disposed of, I didn't get any bad injuries."

J "...I'm alright."

K "You're the one who fought Orochimaru, are you okay?"

KN "Yeah, no sweat. I've kicked his ass unconscious. Literally."

K "I- what?"

KN "I lost control before I befriended 9 tails, Captain Yamato told me when I woke up."

K "Oh... oh shit that's going to be a problem with Naruto."

KN "Eh, maybe. I only lost control cause he had me really pissed off when he kept talking about Sasuke, but that shouldn't be a problem this time."

K "Oh... I suppose, but there's other things that could happen."

KN "Well, yeah. But we handled it in my time, and in my time we didn't have an extra me with 8+ years of experience."

K "That's true. Alright, something to worry about at a later time. If everything's done here, are we ready to go back?"

KN "I have everything I need. Pervy Sage, do you need a minute?"

J "No. I'm alright, I took some time while I was still in there, and there'll be time once I'm home. Let's go."

KN "Alright."

K "So... how're we doing this?"

...

K "?"

KN "Ummmmm....."

J "Uhhh..."

K "You didn't plan this very thoroughly, did you?"

KN "If I'm being completely honest, I was expecting something to go terribly wrong that would stop me from getting even half this far."

K "Like what?"

KN "I don't know, I thought maybe Madara would come back with me somehow and be trying, and probably succeeding, in killing me right now. Or Zetsu would figure it out and the Akatsuki would be at my throat. There's a lot of things I came up with, I've been pretty lucky nothing seems to have happened yet... knock on wood."

K "That's... pretty fair hearing what you've been through."

J "We should make a plan. We went after Orochimaru first so we'd have some leverage to use when it came to convincing people to trust him. It'd be easier if every Chunin rank or higher ninja hadn't been told to report if they see a suspicious stranger that happens to perfectly match his description."

K "...okay. Is that really something you want to risk in the future? A potentially rogue ninja who knows way to much running around without anyone being aware?"

J "I know Kakashi, I'm joking."

KN "We have this stuff from Orochimaru's lab, as well as the fact we took him out, and the locations of a multitude of his other secret labs. Two of the most important and famous shinobi who are currently with the village are backing me up. That alone should set me up pretty good. I can always start playing fortune teller if I really need to convince them."

J "We have the argument and evidence, but we need to choose our audience and spokesperson."

K "What is this a court case now?"

J "If we aren't careful it might turn into one."

K "True."

KN "Well, we'll obviously have gramps Hokage. Kakashi Sensei, you said Granny Tsunade's in the village right?"

K "Oh that was weird. Can we not call me that. Yes, Lady Tsunade is in the village."

KN "So we should have her with, at the very least for the sake of informing her about Orochimaru."

J "I agree with that, Orochimaru will also probably be enough to convince her."

K "Shikaku."

KN "Yes."

K "Inoichi as well, we can get him backing us if needed, if you allow him to look into your memories."

KN "If needed, I'll allow it, as long as it's just him, I trust him."

J "Anyone else?"

K "The council of elde-"

KN "Fuck no."

K "oh."

KN "Pervy Sage, add Danzo to our list of people to off. He'll ruin everything. The other two are just gonna do what he says and make things difficult."

J "Yeah, sounds about right."

K "Okay... is there anyone else then?"

KN "I don't think so. If we add many more people, it'll just get messy. More so than it'll already be."

J "That's true, Tsunade is all the anger we need in the room, if we add any more clan heads or anything they'll throw fits in the middle of our explanations. Also, the more people in the room, the more likely that information gets leaked."

KN "Then that's our final group. And would you look at that, the village is coming up."

J "That it is. Ready?"

K "Ready."

KN "Let's do this."
