Chapter 11: Infiltration
Next Morning
The group of shinobi woke up in their rooms and got in the rays of sunshine. As everyone got up, they washed up and got dressed to start the day. A particular blond couple was up and about having breakfast before anyone else.
"So it seems that we have to make a detour" Tsunade said to Naruto. Both were enjoying each other's company, but both also had pressing matters to attend to.
"But Tsunade-chan to go back to Konoha is a bit more than a detour," Naruto said with a serious face. Tsunade could tell he was worried. Tsunade and Shizune's secret about a new medical jutsu for Tsunade required the medical books back in Konoha. This was the very last place that Naruto would have wanted to go. Naruto thought over the situation in his head.
"To go back to that place, man I don't know," Naruto thought a he looked at Tsunade. Tsunade seemed to really need the books for whatever reason. If she couldn't even tell him, it was obvious that this was important. Naruto looked into her eyes. He always seemed at peace with them. Naruto smiled as he decided.
"Alright, we can go back, I love you so I will go with you anywhere," Naruto said with a smile. Tsunade smiled as she saw she had her boyfriend's support. Tsunade and Naruto finished their food and left the cafeteria. Naruto and Tsunade went back to their rooms to pack a few things. As they took somethings they alerted everyone to the foyer.
"Alright everyone, Naruto and I will be gone for a few days, so stay here and wait for us," Tsunade said to the confused group.
"Don't worry we won't be gone long, I hope," Naruto said to the still confused group.
"But where are you going?" Neji asked them. Both looked at each other and nodded.
"To Konoha," They said to everyone. Everyone fell to the floor for the sheer stupidity of their idea.
"Umm you do remember that Konoha wants you two dead right?" Ino said to them.
"Yeah we know," Both said without a care in the world. Ino face-palmed herself and she tried to figure out the plot behind this.
"Why are you going back?" Shikamaru asked.
"To get Tsunade-chan her medical books for a new jutsu," Naruto said to them. Everyone's eyes shot up as they tried to figure out this new jutsu.
"So that's why you guys are going?" Lee asked. Both nodded at his question. Really, if not for the medical books they wouldn't think of setting foot in Konoha.
"Well we wish you the best, and you BETTER come back," Everyone said to them. Both blondes smiled as they nodded.
"I won't die so easily," Tsunade said to them.
"My death is not going to be by Konoha or anyone," Naruto said to them. Both waved goodbye the group of genin and their two associates as they vanished in an instant. Everyone decided to explore more of the town or train until Naruto and Tsunade came back. It was going to be quiet around the town.
Naruto and Tsunade
Both were jumping through the trees at amazing speed as they tried to make it to Konoha at the peak of night. As they ran, both had an interesting conversation about the infiltration of Konoha.
"Wow, never thought I would be infiltrating Konoha of all places," Naruto said with a smile.
"I know, I can't believe it either," Tsunade said as she moved through the trees with some elegance. Naruto stared at her form as he saw her moved through the trees. He always loved the body she had. Tsunade could feel Naruto's stares on her as they ran through the trees. Tsunade smiled as she turned to Naruto.
"You know if you keep staring at me I won't be able to hold my blush down," Tsunade said to him. Naruto smiled as he jumped up next to her and gave her a quick kiss.
"Well then don't hold it," he said as he left a stunned Tsunade on a tree. Tsunade stopped and put her finger to her lips.
"Such a smooth-talker," Tsunade said with a smile. As she ran to catch up with Naruto. Both were in their own little world as they raced back to Konoha. Both happened to look at the other and unknowingly blush from their past time together.
6 hours later
Both were still rushing back to Konoha as they began to feel tired. Neither had stopped because they didn't have to worry about breaks but it became clear that they needed one.
"Naruto-kun, shall we rest for a bit," Tsunade said to him. Naruto smiled as he nodded. Both found a little spot as they ate a few snacks and rested to regain stamina. Both enjoyed the calm of the forest as Tsunade rested her head on Naruto's lap. Naruto smiled as he looked at Tsunade's lovely face. As he rubbed his hands through her golden hair he kissed the side of her cheek making her squirm a bit.
"Mmm, Naruto-kun I love you," Tsunade said in her sleep. Naruto chuckled as he leaned towards Tsunade and gave her another kiss.
"I love you too, Tsunade-chan," Naruto said to her.
1 ½ hours later
Naruto decided to wake up Tsunade as it was time to go. Naruto shook Tsunade, but was unable to get a reaction out of her.
"Man, my girl sure can sleep," Naruto said as he got a twinkle in his eye. He leaned and gave Tsunade a deep kiss and his tongue swirled around in her mouth. As Naruto deepened the kiss he saw Tsunade's face look flushed as he smiled. Tsunade woke up to something incredible on her lips. She woke up to see Naruto giving her a kiss. Tsunade smiled as she got up.
"What a wake up call," Tsunade said as she straightened her hair. Naruto smiled.
"Well I had to get you up hime, it's time to go," Naruto said to her. Tsunade looked at the time and saw Naruto was right.
"Then Golden Fox-sama, let's go," Tsunade said to him. Naruto smiled as he got an idea. He told Tsunade to stay were she was as he clasped his hands together. He closed his eyes and focused. The winds in the surrounding area began to pick up as they swayed the entire forest.
"Fuuton: - ," Naruto said as the wind picked up.
"-Tenshi Tsubasa no Jutsu(Wings of the Angels Jutsu)," Naruto said as the winds formed around him and became angelic wings that flapped him of of the ground. Tsunade for the most part was very impressed. Naruto controlled the wind enough to fly. He could always amaze Tsunade over such things. Naruto picked Tsunade up into his arms as he took to the sky.
"This is better traveling," Naruto said to her. Tsunade was amazed at the view Naruto gave her. Everything looked so small on the ground as he flew through the skies. In less than 2 hours, Naruto managed to get Tsunade to Konoha. It would have taken another 7 hours before they made it to the gates. A few miles off, Naruto released the jutsu and the wings of wind dispelled. Tsunade masked her chakra and so did Naruto. Both walked to the village as they used the trees for cover. As they walked they took in the new sight of Konoha. The village had constant clouds of darkness as thunder roamed the village. The place was very different. It seemed like all hope had been sucked out of the village. Naruto and Tsunade heard rumors of the new name for Konoha.
"So this is the Village Hidden in the Darkness huh," Naruto said with a shocked face. Tsunade couldn't believe the changes either, but neither had the time to gawk at the scenery. They had an objective to do. Naruto and Tsunade had been in the village before, and knew all the secret places to get in. As they went past the security, they stayed hidden in the shadows as they made their way to the medical facilities. They could see that the place was horrible. People were evil to others and crime was an abundant theme in the village.
"Man this air feels toxic," Naruto said with a cough.
"I know, but we don't have the time to wait," Tsunade told him as the went inside.
Konoha's medical facility
As they entered, both were being discrete as the y tried to find Tsunade's vault full of of her books. As they hid, they noticed that the total count of victims in Konoha had gone up and it seemed to be rising. Tsunade and Naruto wanted to help, but they could see that if they did they would be killed. Both decided to persevere through the pain as they snuck through the facility.
20 minutes later
Both finally found the vault as they smiled at each other.
"Okay Naruto-kun keep watch, I will open this vault," Tsunade said as she tried to work the vault. Naruto nodded as he kept watch of anybody. Tsunade had a difficult time with the lock, mostly because she hadn't been to the vault in a while and nearly forgot the combination. As she finished the code, the vault opened and unveiled all the books Tsunade had. Naruto gasped at the sheer number of them. He knew Tsunade was a medical ninja, but damn. To have this many books on medical justu is almost insane if not obsession.
"Okay let me get these books," Tsunade said as she took out a seal and placed it on the ground. Tsunade started to pill all of the books into the scroll as she went from shelf to shelf. After 30 minutes, Tsunade grabbed the last book and put it into the scroll.
"Okay that is everything Naruto-kun, let's go,"
"Hai, hime,"
Both ran out the door and closed the vault. As they walked out, they heard someone scream as they saw a Konoha nurse accidently spot them. Seeing that their cover was blown, Naruto and Tsunade ran for the exit and escape. As they ran out all of Konoha had been alerted to the presence of intruders. As Naruto and Tsunade entered the trees, they got spotted by all available ninja in Konoha.
"Damn we were so close," Naruto said as he sucked his teeth. Tsunade was a little frustrated.
"All that stealth, only to get caught now," She said as they got surrounded by shinobi.
"Oh the demon has returned to Konoha," one of them said.
"Must be this village's lucky day to end the demon's life," Other said. Soon after Danzo himself made a personal appearance and looked to see Naruto and Tsunade.
"Well well, it seems I don't have to expend resources to find you two now," He said as he laughed.
"Danzo, how nice it is to see you again," Tsunade said with an arrogant grin.
"While catching up is fun, you two are dead," he said as he waved his hand. Soon shinobi attacked as Naruto and Tsunade smiled.
"Naruto-kun, are we trapped?" Tsunade said to him. Naruto turned and laughed.
"Come on hime, all I see is an obstacle that is easy to overcome," Naruto said as he brought his hands together. Tsunade did the same.
"Fuuton: Sora Ha no Jutsu(Wind style: Sky Blade Jutsu)," Naruto yelled as a blade of wind enveloped his arms. With a quick slash, Naruto managed to cut almost all ninja in his path in two. No one saw his technique as it was to fast to see. Tsunade smiled as she formed her handsigns.
"Doton: Chikyū konagona ni(Earth Style: Earth Shatter)," Tsunade yelled as she sent her fist into the ground causing the entire village to rumble. Everyone lost their balance as the looked at the sheer power of the two. They seemed to be a great team. Both could watch each other's back and still manage to evade enemy attacks like it was nothing. No current ninja was a match for them. As the dust settled. Naruto and Tsunade looked to see all the ninja thrown at them on the ground.
"Anyone else Danzo?," Tsunade asked. Danzo's patience was wearing thin. He have clearly underestimated the two. Suddenly someone appeared from the darkness. This person was in Naruto's age group as the person came into the light. Their hair was pink but had strands of black that ran through the hair. The face and body were very slim. This person also had a very good amount of KI as they came into view.
"Why hello Naruto and Tsunade," The mystery person said. Naruto and Tsunade gasped at who it was. This was a totally different person.
"S-S-Sakura" Both said as they saw the girl of former team 7 appear before them.
"Well this is a surprise, to think I get to kill Naruto today, I love it," Sakura said as she took out a kunai and licked it. Naruto and Tsunade were lost. Sure Sakura was a dumb fangirl, but to descend this much was almost a dream to the two.
"Sorry to break it to you, but we aren't dying anytime soon" Naruto said to her. Sakura laughed.
"Your deaths became clear the moment you stepped your traitorous foot into this village," Sakura said to them. Naruto looked at Tsunade with a serious look. Tsunade being with Naruto for a while knew that look. She nodded and turned around face the other shinobi. Naruto faced Sakura.
"I will tell you this, Sasuke left on his own, I tried to bring him back, but couldn't, deal with it," Naruto told her. He had enough of Sakura being a bitch about everything that dealt with Sasuke.
"Well I will be glad to finish his job," Sakura said as she formed a battle stance. Naruto had enough. He took her insults, her physical abuse, and her ranting. He had enough. Naruto assumed his battle stance.
"Fine Sakura, try and beat me, it might just be the end of you," Naruto said to her.
Sakura growled as she charged at Naruto. Naruto in turn charged at her. Both of their kunai connected as thunder clasped through the sky.
"For Sasuke and this village, I will kill you Naruto," She said to him
"Just try it you damn Sasuke loving bitch," Naruto told her.
