Lite 2

3rd person

The conversation they had led them to many points on which they could differ or agree, but they all agreed on something, the position they were in was too passive, and it did not allow them to move as they saw fit, they only complied. with the whims of mister. Well, they couldn't be called whims since until now he hadn't done anything that goes against their values and even helped them. The problem lies in not knowing anything. They are important people with considerable power, not only military, but in Tsunade's case, who is still "alive", political as well. To leave so much in the hands of someone whose face they haven't even seen is something they obviously can't accept.

The question was, what to do? They couldn't go against him directly, they didn't want to risk it. They understood that his greatest weapon was precisely his anonymity and intelligence that he owned about the village. If so, they only had one answer left, aim at the little one. They never expected to find important information, since according to their reasoning, no one would entrust a baby with secrets. What they expected most was, if possible, to find out the shape of his face, or whatever kind of things they could glean from their previous conversations.

— Call Inoichi, we need him . (Minato)

That is why Minato decided to make use of one of the current talents of the Yamanaka clan. In fact, Inoichi at this point was not yet the guy with incredible mastery who led the troops in the fourth war, but a prodigy who was taking his first steps as head of his clan.

The reason they settled on was quite simple, it was possible to control him. If they summoned someone skilled, it was possible that it would put them in danger, since, like it or not, they were already in on something too big. In the worst case, being blamed for rebellion would not be an exaggeration. Also, reading the mind of someone who wasn't even 3 years old wouldn't represent a problem even for a novice, of course, without taking into account the security measures so as not to leave the target an idiot.

Taking all the considerations that could occur to them, they came to the conclusion that it was better to take a chance at this moment. Furthermore, right now the three of them were a force that no one could ignore. Even if mister got mad at them, they were confident that he wouldn't abandon their alliance just because of this, maybe in the past the answer would have been different, but not now. Maybe he'll blow off some steam, but it won't be anything serious.

— I'll go, after all, your situation is a bit special. (Tsunade)

— …(Minato)

— …(Kushina)

— How will you convince him? I don't think he 's going to listen to you, especially if Shikaku isn't there to give him some advice. (Minato)

— I'll just knock him out, I'm already getting the hang of kidnapping people from the village. (Tsunade)

— … (Minato)

— … (Kushina)

— Do what seems best to you. (Minato)

In this way, they decided that another person would suffer the same fate as Shikaku.

However, there was one person who couldn't help but ask something that was the most important to her.

— This… Do you think you can bring Naruto? (Kushina)

— Ah… *sigh* I'm sorry, Kushina. I know that the current situation is very hard for you, but unfortunately, that is not possible. He is the jinchuuriki of the village now. If he disappeared, then there would be a scandal which I don't think we can get out of. (Tsunade)

— …I know that, but… (Kushina)

Kushina couldn't hide the sadness she felt at not being there for her baby and all she wanted was to break into the village and hug him. In fact, if it wasn't for Minato staying by her side to support her, then she probably would have.

— Relax, he's fine. Besides, I left the third in charge of him, I'm sure nothing bad will happen to him. (Minato)

Of course, if Lite heard those words, dying of laughter would be a pretty big possibility.

— Well then, I'm leaving, it will be better to end this as soon as possible. (Tsunade)

— Good luck and be careful. (Minato)

— Don't worry, I know security protocols like the back of my hand. Even if they made modifications, I won't have any problem entering. (Tsunade)

— At least try to stop by to see him for a moment. (Kushina)

— That…if I can do it. He must be being cared for by a few ambu, but those guys are no match for me. (Tsunade)

Hours later.

* Thud * A caterpillar-shaped sack was thrown at Minato and Kushina's feet, causing them to pat their faces and sigh at their partner's misfortune.

— …At least you brought him complete. (Minato)

— You can count on me for these things. (Tsunade)

— I hope not… (Minato)

Once Inoichi arrived, they immediately woke him up. Tsunade had given him a good blow so that he was calm all the way.

Kidnapping him wasn't that difficult since he was pretty weak in hand-to-hand combat. It was enough to follow him until he was alone, hit him, and then take him away.

— Where I am? (Inoichi)

He woke up pretty quickly and immediately tried to get into a defensive position in preparation for whatever situation might come his way. At this time the entire village was on full alert and he was no exception.

— !!!!! (Inoichi)

However, not even in his wildest dreams would the situation he was currently in occur to him. In front of him were two people who had been buried practically a few hours ago.

— Well, hello? Although I think you must be too surprised to listen to me. (Minato)

— … (Inoichi)

— Yes, this will take time. (Minato)

The poor ninja's reaction wasn't a surprise, after all, a moment ago, repeat, just a moment ago practically the entire village had cried for him and Kushina in front of their corpses, or what was left of them.

In fact, the reaction of the people was so great that the third had to send a large-scale investigation into what had happened.

— You… How are you still alive? (Inoichi)

— Well... a lot of things happened, but I don't know if it's the best option to tell you. In fact, we wouldn't have called you if it weren't for the fact that we had no other choice. (Minato)

— That… I don't know how to react to that. (Inoichi)

Luckily, it didn't take long for him to come to his senses. He was, after all, an elite ninja, however, that didn't mean he was going to leave things as they are. If you see two people you thought were dead then the first thing you want is answers.

— I'm sorry, if you want to talk we can find another time to do it, right now, even if we are not there, we know that the village is in chaos. If the young leader of the Yamanaka clan goes missing for long then things will get even worse. (Tsunade)

The truth was that Inoichi was about to explode, but in front of him were three kage-level ninjas. He didn't know why they had gathered here, but he couldn't help but mistrust their motives. After all, what they were doing was not something that could be ignored. Although he wanted to trust them, the fact that the village was attacked and they were "okay" did not calm him down, even more so for Tsunade. If those two are here, then that mean the she helped them, but still the villa was destroyed.

— Don't look at us with mistrust... Maybe it would have been better if you also brought Shikaku. (Minato)

— Should I go? (Tsunade)

— No, there is no time. (Minato)

Shikaku was not only the young leader of the Nara clan, but due to his great contributions during the war, when Minato wanted to promote him as his advisor, none of the elders raised any objections, on top of that, he was considered the leader of the Ino-Shika-Chou alliance. In short, he was a man whose words no one would be able to ignore.

— I don't know if we'll tell you everything or not, but that depends on whether you decide to help us. Otherwise, we would not have risked bringing you to this place. You should know by now that if we decide to fake our death, it's for something important. And no, we haven't betrayed the village, the biggest proof of that is that Tsunade is with us right now. (Minato)

Those words woke Inoichi up. Tsunade was considered the princess of Konoha, if she wanted she could even dethrone the Kage and take his place without much effort. Thinking of it that way, what reason could she have to do something against a place that practically belonged to her?

— Well... I'm a little calmer now. (Inoichi)

— I'm glad to hear it. (Minato)

— Well, I don't know what's going on with you three, but if you brought me here it's because you need my help. Tell me quickly, the sooner I'm done with this, the sooner I can talk to you. (Inoichi)

— Thanks for understanding. Come with us, we need you to see someone's memories. (Minato)

Minato walked ahead of him and led him into a room. Along the way, Inoichi couldn't help but analyze where he was. At first, he thought that they had put him in some kind of prison cell due to the rocky appearance, which made his tension rise more, now, paying more attention, he noticed that it was not that, but that they were in a cave, and for what he can see, it had been well conditioned so that they can live here comfortably.

They walked for a short time and passed by the room where Lite's mother was resting. They decided to put her to sleep so she won't cause any trouble when she finds out about her son's condition.

Finally, they reached a room, Inoichi observed a little boy. What alarmed him was seeing the state he was in, that boy was a total disaster. At this sight, he felt anger and nausea at the same time.

— …That boy… How did he get to that state? (Inoichi)

— Self-harming, what we want to know is the reason why he did it, plus of course, other things. (Tsunade)

He felt bad, he was expecting the birth of his daughter, so at this moment, he had gone from someone who could transmit an order of annihilation to a village to a man who felt an incredible weakness for children.

— Other things? (Inoichi)

— Well, if you want to know something about the situation we're in right now, maybe this guy can tell you a few things. (Tsunade)

— Good. (Inoichi)

With no other choice, he accepted the task. And although in his head he asked all kinds of questions about how it was possible for a simple child to be involved in such a big matter, the others were right about something, he did not have time. Now that he had calmed down, he fully understood that they planned to release him because they were afraid that the village would react. With that, he deduced that his hideout was not far from Konoha. He didn't think they would let him leave just like that for no reason, they should have some measure in mind so that he doesn't release the information that they were going to learn here, but that was better than nothing. For now, the most important thing was to focus on the task at hand.

Inoichi prepared his technique. He planned to go in and review this little boy's thoughts and depending on how strong his mental defenses were, he would go deeper and deeper to get the answers he wanted. Since they had not specified what he had to look for exactly, he would take the opportunity to see everything he could. Of course, he would do it carefully, the mind was something too fragile. With the prisoners, there was nothing to fear even if he fried their brains, but he could see the look of concern on the faces of Tsunade and… Rin?!

— Rin? (Inoichi)

It was impossible for him not to recognize her. She was the reason the best prodigy the village had at this time had plunged into a deep depression.

— Inoichi, the cards are already on the table. If you want to know everything, then do your job. (Minato)

With no more words to say and realizing that if he kept thinking he would only fry his own brain, he activated his jutsu.

— Activate!

However, the mind of people is something that can be terrifying, and he would understand that the hard way.

The secrets of the man called Lite, the one who conquered the underworld in his past life, were not something that should come to light.

— what—

— Oh, I have a visitor, but you must not be here, at least not only you, go and call the others.

A figure appeared in little Lite's consciousness and effortlessly forced Inoichi out.
