Naruto Emperor: The Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 7

Konoha: Tsunades office morning time.

The search team stood before her but Tsunade also had another mission for them and wanted to speak to the team privately before they left.

"Do you all know why you are here today?" She asked

The group nodded

"Good, this mission is going to be a 2 part mission on one side you guys will be searching the lands of the west for any signs of Naruto and bring him back, the second part of your mission is that of intelligence learn all that you can about the emperor and his empire while I'm sure he means us no harm it seems he also does his own fair share of intelligence gathering as well. I have the up most confidence in all your abilities and that you will do your best to complete this mission I'll see you all in 5 days any questions?" Tsunade briefed them

Everyone shook their heads.

"Very well, there is transportation waiting for you all at the gate the emperor and his guards are there as well waiting, you are dismissed" Tsunade said

"Hai Hokage-Sama" they all replied exiting the officer

Tsunade stared out the window praying that they would finally find Naruto but her thoughts were interrupted when a presence entered sighing deeply she spoke.

"What do you want Danzō"

"I see the meeting with the emperor went well tell me have you noticed anything strange about him?" He said with a neutral expression.

Tsunade was quiet.

"Ahhh, you noticed too then I shouldn't need to remind you of the importance of this mission. If Naruto is still alive than his Tailed Beast is to be removed so we can find a more suitable Jinchuriki. Also if the emperor himself is the Nine-Tails well than their is no explanation needed" he said

"I will not allow that to happen" She said definitely.

"It is not your choice to make the council has already deemed it so" he said his expression not changing

Tsunade grit her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Remember Tsunade, what we do we do for the good, security, and saftey of the village and sometimes that means doing what most won't do for we protect its citizens by any means necessary I bid you farewell" He said leaving her office.

Konoha: Gate entrance

"Is everything ready?" Naruto asked

"Yes my lord we are ready to go" a guard replied

"Good, let's return home shall we.....ahhh Jiraya I see you and your team made it, just in time too their are two other carriages waiting for you guys once you mount up we will be off" Naruto said.

They entered their respected carriages Hinata, Saskue and Sakura, entering one while Jiraya and Kakashi were in the other. Once everyone was ready their journey began it would be a long two days so everyone rested while they could.

Sometime later riding West: 12 pm

Hinatas eyes fluttered open, she still couldn't believe or process what happened the past couple of days. First Naruto comes back, then he's the legendary emperor of the west, and finally he wants to marry her. She had been smiling the whole time thinking of the future she stared out the window of the carriage, sakura noticed her face and spoke up.
