Dangerous situation

It didn't take long for Ren who was flying to reach the place, and he hurriedly located the same building from before.

When Ren entered their building, he scanned through the auras, and practically all the strong people were already gone.

He couldn't find Minato, Jiraiya, or Kakashi.

'There she is,'

But he was able to locate Tsunade soon.

Even Sakura wasn't here and might have already gone ahead along with the rest.

'Was there some huge trouble in the city and they went to help?' He knew they definitely could with the help of Minato.

At any rate, he hurriedly went toward Tsunade for some answers, as he wasn't aware of what was going on so far since he came directly after exiting the gate and focused on getting here faster so he couldn't read what was happening in the system.

*Bam*

The door was slammed open and Ren barged into the room where Tsunade was currently.

He found her grabbing her phone worriedly and her emotions were very anxious as she paced around the room.

As soon as she noticed him she came running to him.

"You… Ren, there is currently trouble going on in our city, and a mission was issued in the system since the damage is too big,"

Tsunade was nothing like the calm lady he expected her to be at this moment. She spewed such words rapidly and Ren did a double take at her words.

Her panic had reached a high point already, and Ren wanted to know what was so bad that even she would act this way.

"A mission was issued?" He latched on to that key phrase.

"Yes, you can see for yourself," Tsunade knew that that would explain things quicker.

He nodded before his gaze flickered and the mission she said was soon laid before his eyes.

**********

[Warning! Warning! Warning!

Attention Immediately Required!

Interference with the status of multiple gates in H-city is detected. Various gates outbreak is currently happening.

Mission to restore equilibrium is underway: Stop/Restore the gate to the previous state before a critical stage is reached.

All members can participate. (Recommended S rank+)

Reward given: Based on contribution]

**********

Ren furrowed his brows. He also read the details of the mission and soon came to understand things.

Tsunade's voice then came.

"Just like that gate before, all over the city, various gates had overloaded and started releasing monsters, and it was reported by the agency that the weakest were of the S rank, and with the strongest among them being SSS rank easily,"

Her voice despite still containing some panic and nervousness, had visibly calmed down than before. Possibly due to seeing Ren.

She checked his status on his system page just like before.

[SS rank (SSS)]

It quite possibly was like Iris Heart, and he must have something that can put him in the SSS rank, and right now she needed everyone that could help, much less someone of the SSS rank.

She had stayed right for this purpose and knew that they could teleport since this was a mission after all.

"The old man and Tatsumaki had already gone ahead, All Might can't participate in such a thing, but he had gone ahead anyway along with Yamato,"

Tsunade didn't insult Tatsumaki at this time since things were serious, and the green-headed girl was going to their city to help.

And Ren nodded his head as he now had a grasp of how things were.

'From her tone, it seems like she is also planning to join the fighting,'

As to him, he of course was going to join too.

"Wait for a bit," He said to Tsunade.

**********

As he told her that, he suddenly flipped his phone and hurriedly dialed someone.

*Ring* *Ring*

"Hello, Ren, I know why you're calling, don't worry I'm fine,"

That was Isaki.

*Sigh*

'Thank the goddess,' Ren was relieved as he heard her voice.

"Alright, Isaki, make sure to stay safe along with little Rina, and this will all be over very soon don't worry,"

"You stay safe too, Ren,"

Ren then bid her goodbye, and despite Tsunade being nearby, he proceeded to call all the girls he knew and started making sure they were all fine.

It turned out they had all found a safe place to stay in while these giant monsters roamed all over the city.

And Ren didn't need to check on Yamato who went to fight and can teleport if anything went wrong.

He wasn't worried about her.

**********

Finally, after he made sure they were all fine, he then turned to Tsunade.

"Is this the same group as before?"

There was a similar case where the gate was overloaded by a strange device, and ren knew at that time that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes.

Another time was when Ace was in danger too and he and the old men went to save him. The gate at that time had reached as high as the SSS rank, so it must be related to them this time.

'They must have been preparing for something big, and this should be it,'

He was also sure it was only one group since the mission explained that as such.

Tsunade then replied as she nodded her head.

"Most likely, as everyone seems to agree that this is the doing of that group from before, even the old man had a look of anger on his face as he remembered what they almost did to his son,"

"But, Leader, I mean Ren, will you also join this time?" She asked him while hoping he would.

Tsunade didn't know yet whether he was going to fight or not, so that was why she asked. And she felt like as the admin of their group, he was sure to help fix the problem. She had more faith in him unknowingly than in the old man Whitebeard.

But… even though she wanted that, he was also free in case he couldn't fight this time or if things were dangerous…

Ren chuckled as he could notice and feel her apprehension and nervousness.

"Relax, of course, I would join, and there is nothing to be afraid about, we'll fix this mess don't worry,"

He assured her as he said.

Not to mention him, there was also Whitebeard and Tatsumaki. And if they weren't enough, there was also their trump card, Iris Heart.

Despite her not answering right now, he knew if he was the one who contacted her, she would answer immediately even if she was in a fight, which he guessed she would be as she wasn't the type to ignore such situations.

He turned to look back at the mission.

He then saw the location they'll teleport to and told Tsunade who was by his side.

"Let's go Tsunade, we don't have much time to waste," He told her as he affirmed his stance.

Ren at this moment had forgotten about his earlier training and joyful emotions. But he was thankful for getting stronger since it seemed like the situation this time was huge trouble.

Right now, he had turned serious as he knew who this group was from the short details regarding the mission.

And a certain line made him absolutely sure about his guess.

**********

[In the hopes of achieving their wish of using nine ancient beings to complete their own grand goals, they have interfered with regular gates using strange devices and unleashed the overloading gates on the agencies where their targets are!!!]

**********

Despite being vague and hard for others to piece or gleam anything to infer who the group was, Ren wasn't the same.

He knew one group that fits that description to a T.

'They should be the Akatsuki then,'

That was the conclusion Ren reached at this point. And the number nine mentioned in the mission should be the tailed beasts that the Akatsuki originally went after in the Naruto story to revive Madara and execute the Tsukuyomi plan.

It seems like in this world, they also existed. And they also needed the beasts for their plan.

'Even their plans are also similar… so that means Obito, and… Pain are also a part of the plan…' He was aware of Madara existing due to that time he saw Hashirama's wood statue and heard about his battle with Madara, but despite already expecting Obito to be here along with Pain, there was that slight hope that they'd be good.

But his hopes weren't met.

Also as he understood from the mission, the monsters out of the gates shouldn't have been wreaking havoc in the whole of the city, as it seems like they had been intended just for the places where the agencies with the beings they needed were.

However, it seemed like they were too much and now, the whole city was in chaos as a result. And every possible superhero was called to deal with the power of various gates overloading armies of monsters that were enhanced as a result of the Akatsuki group.

Ren didn't bother wasting more time now.

He looked at Tsunade and nodded his head at her, a signal to get ready.

By his side, Tsunade understood and also nodded her head. She was a healer true, but she was also a strong fighter, and she would be damned if she stayed out of this just watching from the sideline.

Ren noticed that and admired her for it.

The two then hit the teleport button and suddenly they were engulfed in light.

After the light died down, the bureau turned tranquil with no one nearby.
