Chapter 16 ????

Orochimaru is thinking about the past few years of incidents in his life. He achieved immortality through the jutsu. He joined an organization named Akatsuki after he got an interest in rennigan which happens to be in their leader, Pain's disposal. Which is impossible for anyone to have it.

But when he tried to take the sharingan from Itachi. He realized that even if he knew a thousand jutsu it didn't matter. With one pair of sharingan, Itachi can read all his jutsu like he was a sheet of paper. He was utterly defeated and humiliated by Itachi. He was injured which never happened before. Now there is another pair of sharingan which he wanted to acquire for himself. And it will be easy for him.

Orochimaru asked, "Kabuto did you find out about the brother of Itachi."

Kabuto answered, "His name is Sasuke. He is in the last year of the academy and he will graduate this year."

Orochimaru asked, "Is he a genius like Itachi?"

Kabuto replied, "I don't think so."

Orochimaru said, "It doesn't matter as long as he has a pair of sharingan. Either way, it is good for us that he isn't like Itachi."

Kabuto said, "I noticed that he has blinded hate towards Itachi. He can do anything to achieve that."

Orochimaru replied, "kukukuku. It will be useful when I will ask him to join me and make him my next vessel."

Kabuto said, "But he isn't as strong as Itachi."

Orochimaru said, "He will become strong under my care as my vessel. I will give him the power to defeat Itachi."

Kabuto questioned, "Do you want to test him?"

Orochimaru said, "Not now but maybe next year when Chunin exams will be held in Konoha."

Kabuto asked him, "But you were planning to do the invasion at that time with the help of Kazekage."

Orochimaru said, "I want him to go against, the jinchuriki of sand. What is his name?"

Kabuto replied, "His name is Gaara. He is a disaster produced by the Sand village, he kills anyone whom he finds a threat to his existence."

Orochimaru said, "That's perfect, I want Sasuke to go against him. But before that, I want to test him myself. If he is the brother of Itachi he should meet my expectations."

Kabuto replied, "Kazekage will not risk his Jinchuriki to go against a sharingan user, and in the end, he is still his son."

Orochimaru said, "Then we will eliminate him before the Chunin exams. kuukukukuuu."

Kabuto replied, "This will work. In the end, we can manipulate the Sand village from the Kazekage seat. No one can think of this kind of idea other than you. You are truly a genius."

Orochimaru said, "That's why I left Konoha when they were holding me back. Speaking of Konoha, do you have any news regarding Anko."

Kabuto asked him, "Why sudden interest in Anko?"

Orochimaru said, "The curse mark, which I gave to her, lost its connection with me. Maybe it happened because it is an experimental one and quite a few errors in it. Anyway, I don't want to waste my time on my failed experiments."

Kabuto said, "Still, she was your student. She might have found a way to get rid of the curse mark."

Orochimaru replied, "She can't get rid of it herself. I never taught her about fuinjutsu. In Konoha not even Jiraya can get rid of it. A few days ago he was seen peeping on a bath in the Land of Earth near Iwagakure. So the curse mark failed on itself if I guess correctly."

Kabuto said, "Do you think Danzo may stop us during the invasion?"

Orochimaru replied, "kukukukuku. No, he will not stop us or inform my sensei. After all, he will become Hokage if Hiruzen dies."

Kabuto asked, "What about Jiraya or Tsunade?"

Orochimaru said, "Don't make me laugh Kabuto. Jiraya will never agree and Tsunade hates the job after her brother and lover's death. So other than that only Danzo is the most appropriate candidate in the eyes of advisors."

Kabuto said, "Konoha already have a bigger snake inside to bite them rather than outside. This time Konoha will be fully destroyed."

Neither of them noticed but their own shadow was listening to their conversation.

In the country of rain ....

Konan said, "Have you heard from Zetsu, Konoha is reintroducing the syllabus of the Uzumaki clan in their academy."

Nagato replied, "It doesn't matter after all Uzumaki's are all dead. It will not wash off Konoha's sins. At last, when we are fully ready this world will know pain. Konoha is no exception to that."

Tobi enters the room

Tobi said, "With that kind of determination we can truly achieve our true goal, Nagato."

Nagato said to Tobi, "What a surprise Madara!"

Tobi replied, "I thought, you would at least feel a little bit of happiness after hearing about your clan from Konan."

Nagato said, "Aside from me, no Uzumaki is left in this world."

Tobi replied, "Then you don't know about Naruto Uzumaki, because of him the Konoha reintroduced the syllabus. I don't know the exact details but it's top secret. Not even Zetsu can find out about it."

Nagato said, "My clan is long gone, so there is no kinship between us. We are total strangers."

Tobi said, "I forgot to tell you the most important thing, he is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki. And his father Minato Namikaze is the one who put it inside him."

Nagato replied, "You are talking about the time when you failed because of Minato Namikaze. He became a hero and left his son to be treated like demons truly ironic."

Tobi said, "I forgot to tell you the most important part. Your Jiraya sensei is his Godfather. You have to fight him to death if you want to take Kyuubi Jinchuriki."

Nagato replied, "A god fears nothing, even if my sensei gets in my way I will not hesitate to kill him."

Tobi said, "Now you are truly ready for the world peace."

Nagato said to Tobi, "Don't test me like this intentionally."

Tobi replied, "I am making sure you are ready for what is about to come. I don't like weaknesses and you have the eyes of the sage of six paths. Only you can give this world the peace, it seeks. Don't forget what happened to Yahiko."

Konan who was silent during this entire conversation couldn't take it anymore.

Konan sharply said, "Madara don't speak on that subject in front of Nagato."

Tobi said, "I am just reminding him."

Konan replied, "He already knows what he has to do."

Tobi said, "Don't take it to heart. It's nothing personal."

Nagato replied, "I know that too but could you leave me alone now."

Tobi said, "I might have hit too many sore points. We will meet again." Tobi left immediately afterward.

Konan said to Nagato, "I don't like this guy."

Nagato replied, "That is not why we are together. Even if you don't like him. It won't change the fact we need him for the world peace."

Tobi is making sure that his goal is fully achieved. Even if he has to go to any length to test them and mold them in any way he desires.

While this was happening, what Naruto is doing?

Naruto said, "Shika, who sleeps in a picnic."

Shikamaru replied, "I do."

Chouji asked, "Naruto, tell me why we have so many adults with us?"

Naruto replied, "So we don't have to cook the food."

Chouji asked, "If Iruka sensei and his friends aren't here who would have cooked food for us."

Shikamaru yawned and replied, "Definitely not the three of us."

Naruto supported, "Shika is correct."

Now apart from whom Naruto called, there are Asuma, Kurenai, Kakashi, Yugao, and Anko who came to picnic with them. And of course, gang Eevee is here too.

Kurenai said, "Anko you shouldn't eat Dango all the time."

Anko replied, "But I love Dango."

Yugao said, "You should stop telling her that she will not listen anyway. I am waiting for the time when she will gain some weight on her body and we can tease her."

Kurenai replied, "I will join you."

Anko pouted and said, "You both are so mean."

Yugao said, "I am so happy today that we are together as a full-fledged jonin."

Kurenai asked Anko, "So are you going to take any student on graduation too."

Anko replied, "I am happy in the interrogation department. I don't want to babysit some brats, it's not my style."

Kurenai said, "I get it Anko. Do you know anything about the eevee he brought?"

Anko replied, "Don't tell me you fell in love with Eevee rather than Asuma."

Yugao added, "Asuma will be lonely."

Kurenai said, "I am asking you about Eevee and I am not so sure about Asuma now, but maybe in the future something can happen."

Meanwhile

Ino said, "I want to hug them to Hinata."

Sakura added," You both have all 7 of them, How?"

Hinata replied, "I asked Naruto kun if I could play with them."

Hanabi said, "You could have asked him when you had the chance. They only listen to him."

With the Men's group.

Iruka with a tired face said, "How we got in this mess?"

Asuma replied to him, "I have no problems with catching crabs. What about your fish-catching job, Kakashi?"

Kakashi said, "It's just going fine. Today I miss Gai."

Iruka asked Kakashi, "Why do you remember him in such a dire time?"

Kakashi replied, "We once had a fish-catching competition. Only Gai participated in it. But he nailed it. He caught fish for more than 30 people by his bare hands."

Asuma with a shocked face said, "We should have brought Gai."

Iruka called his students, "Hey Naruto, Shikamaru, and Chouji come and help here."

Naruto said, "Yes sensei."

Shikamaru asked him, "What do we have to do sensei."

Chouji said, "Where is meat?"

Iruka replied, "You will get it if you help us Chouji."

Kakashi called, "You can help me Naruto."

Asuma said, "Shikamaru, come here I will teach you about crabs."

Naruto replied, "You want help for that? I can bring more help."

Kakashi curiously asked, "How?"

Naruto whistles and Eevees jumps out of Hinata and Hanabi's grasp and runs in his direction.

Ino asked, "Where they are going?"

Hanabi said, "I will follow the cuties."

Kurenai questioned, "What's happening with men and boys?"

Anko replied, "We have to go close to watch it."

Yugao curiously said, "Let's see how much they have caught for dinner."

Gang Eevee is in front of Naruto.

Naruto said to his pets, "Now gang Eevee we have an important mission."

Hanabi questioned, "What kind of mission you are giving to cuties?"

Naruto said to his pets, "You will see. Now three of you go to catch crabs and 4 of you jump in the water and bring the fish."

Gang eevee divided into 2 groups and started to dig and dive.

Hinata worriedly said, "Naruto kun, how they can catch crabs and fish? They are babies."

Naruto replied, "You'll see Hinata."

Bella came up from the water and in her mouth was a big fish. She is dragging the fish out of the water and putting it in the bucket. She dived again to catch some more."

Charlie caught a crab with his tail and put it in another bucket.

Max brought another crab but a big one.

Rosie brought a fish on her tail. Within a few minutes bucket was already full.

Naruto said to Gang Eevee, "That's enough for food, you can rest now."

Kakashi said, "If you know that they can do that, why you didn't tell them to do it before."

Naruto replied, "They wanted to play."

Iruka said, "Now we can cook the food."

Kurenai said, "Don't worry Iruka. Ladies will handle it."

The picnic was peaceful and there were no more surprises. They took a lot of pictures from Ino's camera. After the dinner which turned out to be a food competition between Chouji and Naruto. At last, the picnic is finished with a bonfire dance.
