Cap 184: Troubles for Iwa

"Today is a good day... my student is finally back and we will be able to clean his honor" - smiled Kakashi as he sipped the tea that his secretary had prepared for him - "Although the news that the Capture Team brought us, it' s not good..."

"But in the short term the good news is much better than the bad news" - said Tina calmly.

"Right... not to mention that we now have an alliance with Kiri, making our words carry more weight in front of the other villages" - smiled Kakashi as he remembered that despite the still damaged state of Konoha, they were allied with two of the 5 Great Villages - "Yes, there is nothing that can ruin this day now that I am so happy~"

Bang!

The sound of dozens of explosions did not wait while Kakashi's smile slowly disappeared - ". . ."

". . ." - Tina stared at her boyfriend with amusement as she tried to hold back her laughter.

"Laugh if you like. . . even I find it stupidly funny. . ." - sighed Kakashi as he grabbed the bridge of his nose.

"Ok... Hahaha!" - The former nurse couldn't resist any longer, she laughed so loudly that it echoed through the office as Kakashi sighed heavily.

"I want you to call someone who knows about what's going on..." - Kakashi said seriously.

"I will do so immediately," Yugao nodded as she left the office, only to appear after a few minutes with a shinobi from Konoha - "Kakashi-sama..."

"Just get to the point," Godaime Hokage interrupted.

"Hai!" - exclaimed the shinobi - "Destruction in the commercial area, more precisely speaking in the area with merchandise about Sekkusu Kami-sama"

Kakashi frowned when he heard this, after all, the profits made from those products were at least 25% of Konoha's total money - "Go on..."

"Hai!" - exclaimed the shinobi as he recounted everything that had happened, which was not difficult since he was there when it all happened.

". . ." - Kakashi was only silence as a neutral expression appeared on his face.

"What do we do now, Hokage-sama?" - Yugao asked as she looked up at her leader.

"We will send a letter to our old friend in Iwa..." - Kakashi responded as an apathetic look appeared on his face. Konoha was just recovering and the granddaughter of their former enemy had destroyed one of the most valuable areas of the village.

"If that is the case, then I had better go gather the paperwork," Tina said as she shook her head. She understood very well that the number of documents Kakashi would have to sign and write would be massive.

"Yugao... I want you to call Kurama to retain Kurotsuchi until we receive confirmation from Onoki..." - Kakashi said with neutrality - "Tell him to be as quick as possible"

"Right away," nodded the purple-haired woman as she disappeared.

"As for the others... I want you to leave because I need some time alone..." - said the Godaime Hokage again - "Oh... I forgot... I want you to capture those two nice escorts who left our 'guest' alone..."

"...As you command, Kakashi-sama" - the Anbu nodded as they left.

"You too, Tina-chan," muttered the silver-haired man.

"Ok" - the old nurse nodded as she retired

". . ." - when he saw he was left all alone, he could do only one thing, scream and curse at all the ancestors of Kurotsuchi's family line.

"Ugh..." - complained one of the Iwanin as he began to regain consciousness - "This time Kurotsuchi-sama went too far..."

"I feel like I've been kicked by a mule..." - murmured the other Iwanin as he slowly opened his eyes and noticed the state of the place - ". . ."

"What's wrong, friend?" - asked the first Iwa shinobi as he stood there in silence for a few seconds - "Shit! Onoki-sama's gonna kill us!"

"Forget Onoki-sama! Konoha's gonna kill us!" - exclaimed the second in terror as he looked around - "No, the situation isn't that bad"

BANG!

". . ." - the two Iwanin were silent when they heard the explosions in the distance.

"It may have nothing to do with Kurotsuchi-sama..." - said the first Iwanin.

"Right" - nodded the second but their expressions changed when they saw how a group of Anbu surrounded them.

"Oh..." - exclaimed the two Iwanin as their eyes faded.

"I regret to inform you that you are in trouble" - said Anbu Tora - "Your leader, Kurotsuchi-sama is causing havoc in the Konoha shopping area, so far only 10 shops worth more than 10,000,000,000 Ryo have been reported destroyed as she not only destroyed the shops and their merchandise, but also the land... that's not counting the payments for loss of work among the insurance payments..."

The expression of the two Iwanin paled as they felt a rope tied around their necks.

"As for informing your Kage of this, we have not yet done so because we have not captured the perpetrator," continued the Anbu. " Although this will not take long since Kurama-sama is on the case"

"Oh... shit..." - sighed the two Iwanins as they wept over the injustice. They had only accompanied Kurotsuchi because she had threatened them and now their lives were virtually beyond their control.

"Take them away!" - Tora exclaimed as he disappeared, only for the other Anbu to drag the bodies covered in hardened lava from the two Iwanin after a few seconds.

"Etto... what about my hotel?" - asked the owner of the place where the Iwa shinobis had been staying.

"Don't worry, Kakashi-sama will solve your problem when he negotiates with the Tsuchikage of Iwa" - answered an Anbu as he left the hotel.

* * * * *

". . ." - Kurama and the others in the room were only silent when they heard the sound of the explosions.

"Something tells me that family time will again be cut off..." - sighed Kushina as Kurama's expression seemed to darken, and as if someone had heard it, after a few minutes Yugao was outside the mansion calling to the young redhead - "Ugh..."

"I am sorry to interrupt but Kakashi-sama has a new mission for Kurama-sama" - said Yugao.

Kurama appeared at his side after a few seconds - "Just tell me what I have to do"

"You see, Kurotsuchi-sama..." - said Yugao.

"Okay, I get it, capturing her..." - sighed the ginger as he disappeared in a red flash.

". . ." - Yugao tilted her head in confusion because she never thought it would be over so quickly.

"Neko-san?" - Mei asked in surprise as she arrived at the mansion. "Do you need anything?"

"No... I am just surprised that Kurama-sama understood the reason for my visit so quickly" - the Anbu replied in an almost neutral tone.

" I don't see it" - answered the reddish-brown-haired woman - "But if I have to deduce it, it has to do with the fact that Kurotsuchi is wreaking havoc in the area..."

"How did you know that?" - Yugao asked in surprise.

"Because one, I saw her one last time before coming home and honestly heard the sound of explosions, and two, because it's not the first time something like this happens" - answered the old Mizukage - "Kurotsuchi doesn't have the best record when it comes to situations that call for absolute calm since she is someone who explodes easily, even more so when she was already furious"

". . ." - Yugao was silent as she decided it was time to go back and tell Kakashi that his mission was ready.

* * * * *

"Uzumaki Kurama!" - roared Kurotsuchi in fury as she looked around, only to notice the redhead appearing in front of her - "I've found you at last!"

"Yeah whatever!" - the ginger snorted in annoyance - "Seriously... couldn't you wait at least one day?"

"Shut up! It's time for us to fight!" - roared Kurotsuchi as she made hand seals.

"We've fought 99 times and you haven't beaten me once" - said Kurama as he appeared behind the girl and hit her on the back of the head - "How many more times do I have to beat you before you finally leave me alone, damn it"

"As many as it takes until I defeat you!" - exclaimed the Iwa girl as she stood up again.

"You're a pain in the ass, Kurotsuchi..." - sighed the redheaded man as he glared at the girl - "I think it's time we end this, this will be the last time I face you"

"You don't have a choice in this!" - said the girl as she made hand seals and threw a lava jutsu which the redheaded man received wholeheartedly - "Yes, I finally gave you!"

But her expression changed to one of a surprise when she saw how the redhead was walking towards her as if instead of lava it had been a little rain.

"Is that all?" - asked Kurama as his chakra was slowly released - "A simple shower? I expected more from you, Kurotsuchi..."

"Silence!" - the girl exclaimed as she made hand seals again, only to be frozen by the feeling of the redhead's aura slowly surrounding her to the point that she could barely breathe because of the pressure she felt.

"What's the matter, Kurotsuchi? Didn't you want to fight?" - asked Kurama as he approached the girl, only to notice how the pressure was getting heavier - "Well, you made it... and this time it won't be like... huh?"

". . ." - Kurama was silent when he noticed a slight detail, the girl had fallen unconscious - " Seriously... this is fucking anticlimactic..."
