Naruto the true godson of Jiraiya

Mission Report

Almost at the Pain arc guys. Only a few more chapters. This one you can guess from the title but it's still going to be an important one. So go ahead and enjoy.

Tsunade sat at her desk, fidgeting, she tried to keep calm. The familiar brown, wooden, walls, and tall windows bought her no comfort today. Her desk was clear, today she would have no distractions while she listened. Today she would get the mission reports of all the teams she sent off only a few days ago. She didn't want her fears to be confirmed about possible deaths, she didn't want to face the reality that might be true. "Enter," she ordered keeping her voice calm and strong.

Entering her office came team Kurenai, and team Asuma. She couldn't sense much change in them since the last time they met, aside from Kiba not seeming as boastful. "I see you've suffered no casualties," said Tsunade, her voice almost catching on the final word. "Report."

"We made our way into Kumo with no issue," began Asuma. "My conversation with Raikage A did not go well. He seemed to pass off my warnings without a second thought. He was bold and hothead, thinking that they could handle anything. I could not get through to him, but I was able to deliver the warning."

Tsunade nodded her head, she wasn't surprised. She had met the Raikage only once before, but she knew that calling him hotheaded was the truest definition of the word. She never expected him to believe her, he had at least heard her warning though.

"I was able to successfully find out the location of Kumo's two tails. I was unable to find the location of the eight tails though. I don't think the mission room even contained that information. I believe that the Raikage is so protective over his brother that he doesn't keep that information anywhere on paper," reported Kurenai.

"Mmm, I didn't think the Raikage would be so protective of his brother. How did your talk with the two tails holder go?" questioned the Hokage. "May I speak first, Hokage?" requested Shino. Surprised by the sudden request by the usually silent Shino, she nodded her head.

"While me, Hinata, and Ino were walking around town we saw a member of the Akatsuki-" "Don't tell me you got into a fight in the middle of Kumo," groaned Tsunade just imaging the amount of paperwork that might be gave her a headache.

"No, but we did," grinned Kiba. "I took the dude down with just one strike." "You idiot," growled Shikamaru into Kiba's ear with a whisper. "She doesn't want us attacking the Akatsuki in Kumo." "Damnit, Kiba do you know how much paperwork that's going to give me!" Tsunade all but shouted. "Uh, no one saw us," squeaked out Kiba trying to calm the Hokage. "Nobody, but the Akatsuki members," added Choji, snacking on a bag of chips. Letting out a final low growl, Tsunade let Shino go on.

"The Akatsuki member did not see us, so we decided to follow him. We saw him meet with someone who was likely a member of the black market or some other low life matters. That person gave the Akatsuki member the location of the two tails holder. From this I've gathered that the Akatsuki has some sort of connection to the underworld and might even have allies in it," finished Shino.

"I see, Jiraiya already informed me about their connections to the underworld but thank you for your report. Hinata, Ino, you were with him, do you have anything you want to add to the report?" asked Tsunade. "I do. The Akatsuki member had an extremely powerful charka. When I looked at it with my byakugan, his charka was almost overwhelming when I look at it. If all of them are like that they might even have the power to take on our village," reported Hinata. "Thank you, for the information Hinata, however conceding it might be."

"I already knew that they could challenge a nation, but even still to hear it come from someone like Hinata is worrisome," thought Tsunade, as she then looked at Ino. "Do you have anything you want to add?" "Yes, I do Hokage-Sama. The member of the underworld seemed unafraid when talking to the Akatsuki member. I believe that they don't just have connections to the underworld but use those connections offend, or at least that member did." added Ino.
