Near Shimogo, Land of Fire

[General]

.

Two carriages were on the road. Their destination seemed to be the Land of Tea, as they were moving south of Konohagakure.

The carriages moved consistently, till the day was almost over. When someone inside one of the carriages ordered them to stop.

It was a voice of a young boy, "Let's stop here. We will set up a camp near. Fuzzy and Ichi, go set up alarms and traps around the parameter. Yawn! I wanna rest properly tonight… This damn carriage is hurting my tooshies..."

Hearing the young boy, the two men mentioned nodded and flickered away.

Then an elderly Samurai walked out of the other carriage. He stretched his muscles and addressed the young boy, "Mitsu-Sama, I will accompany the two lads. Please rest inside. The butler and the maids will prepare your tent shortly."

The young boy lazily nodded and went back inside the carriage.

The elder waited for a bit, then abruptly disappeared from his spot…

.

A while later~

.

The elder approached the two young men, who just finished setting down traps.

He greeted them both, then asked a question to no one in particular.

"Say lad, have you noticed something strange about Mitsu-Sama?"

The man with fuzzy black hair answered, "I am not sure what you mean Aki-San. I know Mitsu-Sama has a peculiar way of doing things, yes… But, I think it's a bit rude to call him strange…"

[A/N: That's why you are the number one Minion Fuzzy!]

The fuzzy haired man seemed a bit offended. But the other young man shook his head and calmed him, by saying,

"I don't think that's what Aki-San meant, Fuse-senpai. He must mean that something is different about Mitsu-Sama. Am I right, Aki-San?"

The elder nodded. Then his face grew serious.

"I have traveled a lot in my day. And I have met people of many diverse Clans and Bloodlines… And Mitsu-Sama is showing signs of two very familiar Clans that I know…"

Itachi seemed to think a bit then glanced at the elder. He asked,

"Is it due to the excess vitality that Mitsu-Sama has been letting off?"

The elder nodded and replied, "So you have felt it too?"

Itachi shook his head and said, "I didn't feel it per se. But I noticed the incredible energy in his eyes. So I took a closer look, with my Sharingan. His cells… Are filled with vitality. It's not as much as that child called Naruto. But it's not that far behind. I was shocked at first. But then I started doing some research. I haven't discovered much about it.

But I read that, the first Hokage had incredible vitality, and so did his wife."

Itachi had a thoughtful visage. He contemplated for a bit, then he came to a realization.

He calmly looked at the elder and asked.

"Aki-San, tell me. Which clans had similar attributes as Mitsu-Sama?"

The elder seriously looked at Itachi and answered, "The same two Clans the first Hokage and his Wife were from. The Senju and the Uzumaki!"

""!!!""

The answer both surprised them and made them agree.

Fuse then added something. Which got them to think.

"It's highly improbable for Mitsu-Sama to be related to the Uzumaki. Because, from what I know, Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki were the only Uzumaki sent to Konoha. As for the whole Land of Fire, I haven't heard of any such person.

Uzumakis are easy to discern after all. As they have that striking red hair and incredible chakra amount. Well, that kid Naruto is an exception to that rule, I suppose…

But it's still more likely for him to be related to a Senju than an Uzumaki…"

The elder chuckled hearing that. When the two young men looked at him questioningly. He smiled and said.

"What if I tell you... That, both Senju and Uzumaki, are from the same root?"

""??!""

The look of surprise was apparent on their faces. The elder continued,

"It's shocking, I know. But my Aki-Clan has been around for a long time. And we had dealings with the Uzumaki Clan.

Our ancestors knew about the relationship between the two clans. And has written it down in old testimonials."

"That… Really is unbelievable. So it doesn't really matter which clan it is. But Mitsu-Sama might have some relations with one of those two Clans… It could be from a few generations back…And only now those genes are activating again."

Said Itachi with a thoughtful face.

The samurai had a smile as he nodded.

When Fuse said, "Then… Wouldn't that mean, Mitsu-Sama is strongly related to both governments?"

This question dawned on them, the severity of their implications. But it wasn't anything bad. If anything, it was wonderful news.

They kept speculating about the matter and didn't notice a guest in the vicinity.

A shadowy figure was standing a distance away from the trio with perfect stealth. Unless someone tries to look for him deliberately... No one would notice him.

He had an amused face.

He whispered to himself, "Seriously… What did my mother feed these people… Their misunderstandings are getting worse by the day… Maybe soon they will claim my eyes can shoot lasers or something…."

He shook his head and continued in his mind, 'Welp! This ain't that bad either. If they snoop around and really find evidence. Or if they just piece together a theory. I can use my Wood Release without many worries.

It's a good thing that I have such smart minions… Umu. umu!…'

He then chuckled lightly and disappeared in thin air.

A few hours before dawn

[Mitsu]

.

'Damn! It's so fricking hard to sleep on these futons…. The hell man!

I need to find Jiraya fast! I will get him to make me a sealing scroll that can carry my fricking bed…'

I was moving a lot in my futon… When I perceived that my lookout clone released itself.

It had sensed a disgustingly large amount of chakra in the vicinity of our camp. The chakra belonged to two men actually…

My lookout clone appeared jubilant when he saw their clothing. As I saw it in my memory now I felt the same way.

I woke straight up from my futon with a huge grin on my face.

It was no time for sleeping after all. I need to quickly make some popcorn and find a good seat! This should be a hella good show. Hehehe.

I wonder who will fight whom on the battle…

Hmmm…

I looked back at the information my clone had sent. It was the stats of the two he had appraised.

Welp I expected these kinda stats from Kakuzu, him being an S ranked Oldie and all. But who, in the name of Sissy's ugly uncle, is that guy?

I have never heard of this dude before. Hmmmm… It's prolly the partner Kakuzu had before that other zombie dude.

But the dude seems stronk. Welllll! That's PERFECT!! Hehehe... I was missing some entertainment on this journey.

Well… let's have some fun, shall we?

Extra:

Around the same time~ Near Tanzaku Quarters-

[Jiraya]

.

I am rushing to Tanzaku Quarters. My network informed me that Tsunade was cooped up in there…

When I received the message from sensei, I knew that Tsunade didn't open sensei's letter…

That idiot!

That letter would have explained a lot of things.

Many of her ghosts might get released, once she reads the letters.

But she must have stubbornly refused… This will be a hard mission. But I have prepared myself. I will talk to her even if she crushes me.

I then started going even faster.

And after two more hours, I was near the quarters.

I would lie, if I say, that I wasn't nervous… Tsunade was someone I always kept in my heart. And to learn that everything she suffered… Was because of one man… ONE MAN!

*Sigh*

I didn't believe Sensei's letter at first… But then I looked into the matters myself. It took me two whole years to understand and dig up the clues.

And after the discovery, all I can say is that… I am horrified, disgusted…

Everything we have gone through… The Second Great War… The Third Great War… Uzushigakure… Attack on Taki… Assassinations' of the nobles… Everything leads back to one man…

How can such a creature even exist.

I really regret, not being the one to kill him! That man deserves to burn in hell.

.

After arriving~

.

I looked towards the direction of the Casino. I knew Tsunade was here. I could feel her.

And as I was about to walk in. I met the young girl who followed Tsunade, all those years ago. I believe her name was Shizune.

She immediately recognized me and froze on the spot.

I smiled and asked, "Hello there Shizune. Hope you are doing well. Where is Tsunade?"

She was frozen for a while, but then she glared at me and asked, "Why are you here, Jiraya-San?"

I could only sigh. The girl still believes that the village only wants to use Tsunade… Well… After learning everything, I can't say it's false.

But I need to talk to her. At any cost. She needs to know. She deserves to know.

So I looked firmly at the girl and requested, "Please Shizune! It's really important."

She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is it… Is it about that letter?"

I was surprised but nodded in affirmation.

I then said, "It involves both her and you, Shizune. So please."

She seemed distressed and was shivering a bit. She looked down at the ground and seemed to ponder on the matter.

She took her time and I gave her the space.

Finally, deciding on what to do, she told me to follow her and started walking.

I looked at the departing back of Shizune and thought to myself,

'Hmmm. Nice Ass! She has become one hell of a beauty! Hehe'
