It had been 5 days, and Naruto had completed one B rank on each of those days and had reached the relm of power of which he could have a shadow clone take a simple B-Rank assignation.
As such, according to the rules Konoha has put in place, each clone is an individual entity. As such all that was left were A-Ranks.
Naruto had one of his A-Ranks already, a sign of thanks for saving Kakashi and the Wave. Naruto has completed 2500 C-Ranks 250 B-Ranks and one A-Rank.
Naruto had just received an A-Rank from the Hokage. He was to track a team of Iwa ANBU as they moved to their target.
The group of 20 worried not only the Hokage but Naruto as well.
'What kind of monster is going to need 20 ANBU to put him down... Even the average S-Rank Sinobi would have trouble.' Naruto shivered at the massacre he knew he would see.
It took about two hours, but they quickly arrived at their target. Once they did, Naruto began to shiver.
'Oonoki you fool! Why would you send anyone after the Akatsuki?!' It was a well-known fact in ANBU that the Akatsuki was a group that was to be avoided at all costs. Even Uchiha Itachi was a member, and he wasn't the leader.
No organization with that much power should be challenged. Not without equal power.
'The "Mad Bomber" and... IS THAT OROCHIMARU!' Naruto gave a quick prayer to those that had roamed into death on orders.
Naruto was sure to suppress himself to the level of a bird, making sure not to get wrapped in this.
It didn't take long.
"ANBU, Un?" Deidera quickly grinned like a madman. "I'll send what's left of you back to Iwa."
"Ku ku ku! Deidera-kun, don't you remember what we're here for?" Deidera clicked his tongue.
"Yeah Yeah yeah. We're here for bounties... doesn't mean they need anything other than a head..." Naruto was growing increasingly scared, he was suppressed and out of sight... but few had escaped Orochimaru.
'Fuck This!' Naruto nodded to himself, deciding this was no A-Rank. He shunshined with all of his chakras, and some of Kurama's to go straight to the Hokage's office.
"HOKAGE-SAMA!" Hiruzen shot up from his paperwork.
"Naruto!" Hiruzen hadn't seen Naruto shaking like this in a long time. "What happened? What did you see?"
"Orochimaru and Deidera the "Mad Bomber" were their targets. I had to leave before I was discovered. If it weren't for my massive chakra, I wouldn't be alive." Hiruzen widened his eyes rapidly.
"Uzumaki Naruto, The information you've brought me is without a doubt worth that of an S-Rank mission... to think that Orochimaru is not only in the Akatsuki but is controlled by someone." Hiruzen shivered at the thought of someone so malicious and so powerful.
Naruto shivered with him. "I felt Orochimaru's eyes on me, they were knowing; they knew I was there, he knew I was there. He said nothing." Hiruzen gaze darkened.
"Let this be a reminder Naruto. We are weak. Even I am. Perhaps if I were two decades younger I could clean up this mess. Now I can only rely on you." Naruto looked up shocked. "Go to Uzushiokagure, take these too." Hiruzen handed Naruto a large scroll. "It's everything that belonged to your father and mother." Naruto nodded, fighting tears.
Until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"You hold these old man's dreams, Naruto. You've made me prouder than you know." Naruto began to cry.
"I'm going to miss you. Both of you. You are both welcome in Uzushiogakure. Ant and Carp are too." Danzo squeezed a bit tighter.
"I'll tell them both. I have no clue what they'll do." Naruto nodded.
"Follow friend or village, a sad choice. For them though... they can do both." Naruto gave a thumbs-up to Hiruzen.
Hiruzen handed him the small fortune in the scroll. It was the wealth he had earned on the thousands of missions he had completed.
Naruto gave one last look to both before shunshinning home. He packed his parts of the house, his belongings.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Once Naruto was gone Hiruzen grits his teeth.
"Damnit! It's just like it was during 2nd war!" Hiruzen punched his desk with full force. "Another Jinchuriki lost to Uzu!?" Hiruzen griped his desk harder.
"I can suppose the only two things I can do is be sure to cripple Uzu with Naruto's love for Konoha... I pray that Naruto will hold Konoha first..." Hiruzen shook his head and sighed.
"I'll be sure to do things Danzo's way with the next Jinchuriki..."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Danzo was in his office, breaking things in pure loathing. "Damnit all!" Danzo screamed, His ANBU cowering outside the office knowing Danzo's rage will leak onto them.
"I should've known! "NaRuTo'S gRaNdFaThEr!" like that would work to keep Naruto loyal!" Danzo scoffed as he took a seat.
"ANBU!" 4 ANBU flashed before Danzo. "Follow Naruto, make sure he doesn't betray the Leaf. If he declares his loyalty for anywhere
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
All of it fits into an adapted storage scroll worn on his back.
Naruto took out a piece of paper given to him when he received the swords. He pumped his chakra into the paper and waited.
He didn't need to wait long.
An Uzumaki walked from the shadows. 'An adapted Shunshin, interesting.' Naruto gave the man a nod.
"It's time." The man smiled and took Naruto's hand.
The man was large, around the size of Choji's father. He was fit, however. He wore a classic kimono and had purple eyes. His hair was a fluent Alburn. His face was aged, and he had many lines. Naruto could tell he used to do a lot of frowning. His hair was cut short, and he had no facial hair.
"Naruto-kun. It's good to finally meet you." Naruto smiled. "My name is Kashono, I'm your uncle." Naruto smiled at the thought of still having a family.
"I should ask before I force gates open. Is Uzushiogakure open to all?" Kashono nodded.
"Of course it is. Any who wish for a new life, or are simply visiting those that have are always welcome in Uzushiogakue." Naruto smiled at that.
"I'm glad. Kashono smiled.
"Who is Uzushiogakure's leader and what are their values?"
Kashono followed suit. "The Uzukage is Nagato Uzumaki. My brother-in-law, and your cousin." Naruto nodded. "He values peace. The methods to him are interchangeable." Naruto nodded again.
"I agree. Peace is maintained through inclusiveness and love. Peace is often brought by pain and suffering. Those that know pain crave peace the most. I pray he also knows that those that know pain teach peace, not pain." Naruto looked down for a moment, giving a silent prayer to those that lost themselves to hatred.
Kashono's eyes widened. "Now I see why Nagato wanted to see you." Naruto smiled.
Naruto looked at his uncle and gave an evil grin.
"See you in Uzu." With that, they disappeared.
