30 Heading to Kumogakure
As Jiraiya was explaining his thoughts to Kakashi, an Anbu entered the room after a knock in the door.
"Hokage-sama, I've tracked down the eye." The Anbu said with heavy breathing as if he had been running for miles.
"What eye?" Kakashi questioned looking at Jiraiya.
"The Byakugan. The one that was stolen from Hinata. Where is it?" Jiraiya answered Kakashi and questioned the Anbu for more details.
"The Eye is currently being researched at a secret base few hundred kilometers away from Kumogakure. It is well-hidden and I wouldn't have found it if Kumo didn't send reinforcement for the base. They are probably thinking of transplanting the eye to a Kumo Ninja" The Anbu answered.
"You said, Kumo sent reinforcement. How many? Are there any notable figures?" Jiraiya asked again.
"Yes, there were 10 Jounins including Yugito Nii the Jinchuriki for Two-tails and a kid around 13 years of age." The Anbu answered again.
"Thanks for your work. Go and take a rest. We'll take it from here." Jiraiya sent off the Anbu.
"When will we act?" Kakashi asked putting back the book he was reading.
"There is no time to act. They will probably transplant the eye in a few days and with our speed, it's impossible to reach there in time." Jiraiya said shaking his head.
"We'll take about it with Naruto. I think he will be pleased with the info. He has been pestering me for intel all this time. I'll leave it to him to bring back the eye." Jiraiya said writing down the data from the Anbu.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? If he gets caught we'll lose Naruto and the Nine-tails and if Yugito dies then we might trigger the next World War." Kakashi said in concern.
"He'll be fine. He said something about the beast plane where the tailed beast can communicate. He will probably figure something out with Yugito. We don't need to worry about him as you've already noticed the change in Gaara. We need to trust him on this one as well." Jiraiya said as he stood up to leave towards Naruto.
Naruto was training at the woods when he discovered Jiraiya moving towards him. Leaving his clones to train, Naruto moved to greet Jiraiya.
"Hokage-sama, is there something I can help you with?" Naruto asked in a neutral tone as he looked at Jiraiya.
"Mm, I found the location of the eye," Jiraiya said a single sentence and gave out the scroll containing the details.
"Thanks, for the help Hokage-sama. It means a lot to me" Naruto said in delight after reading the scroll.
"Stop calling me Hokage-sama. I'm your God-father. I know I've made mistakes but do you want to continue treating me like an outsider. And besides, you've made mistakes too leaving the village for a whole 4 years. Yugao forgave you and so you should learn some manner from her you brat." Jiraiya complained in a sour manner.
"Ah, fine. God-father. I'd like to take action on the matter alone. So you don't need to waste your thoughts in this manner. And don't tell the Hyuga's they'll only make this matter worse." Naruto replied grumpily but what Jiraiya said was true as well. It was not good to hold onto such small grudges.
"That's better. So when are you leaving?" Jiraiya asked again looking at the thousands of clones doing random Jutsu behind Naruto. A shock emerged in his eyes as he shook his head in defeat.
"I don't know. Go there, take the eye. Beat everyone who tries to stop me." Naruto replied carelessly.
"That's...You're hopeless." Jiraiya mouth hung open hearing Naruto.
"What? It's the simplest and the best course of action." Naruto replied again as he undid his clones. Naruto then entered Sage Mode in front of Jiraiya and floated towards the sky.
"You're leaving right now?" Jiraiya screamed.
"Yes, Tell Yugao I'll be back in a few days." Naruto then blasted off towards North-East leaving a sonic boom behind.
Looking at the map provided by Jiraiya, Naruto headed straight for the Kumo's Hidden Research Facility at the speed of 1250 km/h. The distance between Land of Lightning and Land of Fire between borders was roughly around 13k Kilometers and between capitals, it was around 32k kilometers.
The Hidden facility was somewhere between the middle and Naruto managed to arrive at the location in a single day of flight with few hours of rest here and there.
The facility was inside a cave carved into a mountain and hidden deep inside the untouched forest. Arriving at the Research facility, Naruto scanned it using Sage mode and found around 50 people running around inside both researchers and Shinobi included. Aside from that around 20 Jounins were hidden out the facility in various spots guarding the Facility.
"Time for some exercise," Naruto said as he disappeared from the spot appearing behind one of the hidden Shinobi outside the base. With a twist of his hand, Naruto broke the shinobi's neck and placed him down gently.
Naruto moved like a ghost between the trees as he took out all of the outside guards without alerting anyone. With his sage mode, he could fly and thus he made no sound while moving and all he had to do was approach from behind and twist the neck while covering the mouth.
Naruto's hands were already soaked in the blood hence didn't feel any problem killing the Kumo Shinobi. Within ten minutes all 20 guards outside the facility were killed and the forest resumed its tranquility.
Naruto sneaked inside the base after using Earth Release to carve out his own small cave in the mountain instead of breaking through the door.
With his Sage mood, the position of all other people inside the Facility was revealed to him and Naruto used it to his advantage moved to avoid those he could and taking out when it was necessary.
Heading deeper inside Naruto finally reached his destination as he saw a couple of people in white and few nurses operating on a kid aged similar to Naruto. By the time he'd reached the room they had just finished taking out the kid's original eye and were preparing to implant Byakugan stolen from Hinata.
Seeing that there were going to take the Byakugan out of the vial, Naruto moved in a blur and knocked out the two doctors and few nurses assisting them. Naruto then took out a scroll and placed the vial on top of it.
"Sealing Jutsu: Scroll Container" Naruto did few hand signs and stored the vial inside the scroll. It was one of the basic Sealing Jutsu used for storing objects inside a scroll.
Naruto put the scroll in his side pouch and left the room. The kid was under heavy anesthetics and was unaware of what was going around him. He hadn't killed the doctors so the kid's eyes would be put back later on.
Naruto walked out in a hurry as backtracked his path and moved out of the hole he created. For Naruto, it had taken less than an hour to infiltrate the research facility and escape it after taking back Hinata's Byakugan.
Besides the outside guards and the two guards in the monitor room, he had killed a few more to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
As soon as Naruto walked out of the mountain, instead of flying away he jumped from trees to trees in high speed with a smirk in his face.
Behind him, few shadows chased after him after they noticed the incidents that happened inside the research facility. The research facility was well hidden and there were miles of dense forest in between them and kumogakure.
Naruto could play around with the pressures for a few minutes without worrying about the reinforcement from Kumo.
Author's note: Here's a link for the distance between villages in Naruto: https://aminoapps.com/c/naruto/page/blog/how-far-apart-are-the-villages/64j3_6MTzuKxw2a6klNV0aaQV05P8oQzRK
I took the reference from him and its quite logical. And about Might Guy's speed, there are some insane theories about his speed in 8th gate mode clocking at around Mach 8k around light speed which is ridiculous. They provide some logical explanation but it's still ridiculous.
So let's keep this number logical despite what it's portrayed in the anime or manga. His base form being 300km/h and increasing by 100km with each gate up to the 7th gate which being 1000km/h. And for his 8th gate, it will be doubled and his speed will be around 2000km/h slightly less than Mach 2. I don't know why I'm doing this but fuxk my mind is fuxked right now.
