ANBU boot camp

Chapter 44

"You are out of line Kuzai," a member of the village council called out.

"CHIEF Kuzai," both Chief and the Hokage replied in a growl.

The room went quiet for several heartbeats.

"And I told you, we have found the bodies of twenty tortured people in the last year. With clear signs of rape and mutilations performed on them."

"Chief Kuzai," the councilman started. "There are no reports of any foreigners, shinobi or not, in that area of the land of fire."

"And I am telling you, this was done by Leaf Shinobi," Chief growled back quietly.

Hiruzen was getting worried, a yelling angry Chief was dangerous, a quiet...growling Chief, was worse.

"No member of the Leaf village would perform these actions," a woman stood up and spoke. "This is just like your hatred of Orochimaru, you were wrong about him and you are wrong about this."

Hiruzen saw Chief's hand go for his Kunai,

"Chief Kuzai," the Hokage called out. "Gather a team and investigate this matter."

Chief did not even reply he was already heading out the door,

"Hokage-Sama," the woman started. "Why are you even humoring that man?"

"What if you are wrong?" Hiruzen replied. "Chief has served this village longer than you, what if you are wrong?"

The woman snorted, "What if I am right?" she replied.

"Then you finally get to push it in his face," Hiruzen replied. "What is next on the agenda?"

"Picking your successor," The same woman replied. "I suggest your student, Orochimaru."

Chief did not listen past that (there was too much of a risk that he would charge back in and kill her this time.)

"What did they say, father?" Kyoko and Hitomi asked together as the met him at the door leading outside.

"They refuse to believe Leaf Shinobi could commit these crimes," Chief replied. "Saying I was wrong, just like I am wrong about that damn snake."

Both Kyoko and Hitomi growled at those words,

"We will just have to find these bastards and prove them all wrong," Kyoko replied.

"Maybe then they will listen to you about the snake," Hitomi added.

"Who is available?" Chief asked.

"Us, Kushina, Tank, and Chika," Kyoko answered as his daughters fell into step with their father as they walked for the gates.

"The boys are out on missions, damn chauvinistic pigs, making us stay in the village," Kyoko growled.

"They are just scared of us," Hitomi replied. "They fear, reliving, the nightmare that my team caused."

"Don't smile all smug," Kyoko growled. "Thanks to you the village is planning to ban all completely Kunoichi teams from now on. Our teams will be the last all Kunoichi teams of the Leaf."
