Chapter 112 - Orochimaru [1] (1/2)
'Will be there for me?' Naruto thought as a strange feeling spread through his entire body and mind. It was a new thing for him, in his entire life, never did he require someone to fully protect him beside his own brother.
Shaking his head lightly as the Elves started to familiarize themselves with the place they were living at, everything was different. However, knowledge seemed to awake from the depths of their minds, something Naruto prepared to fasten up the process of adaptation.
Turning his look to the Grimoire Tower, Naruto couldn't help but wonder: 'What has made the Grimoire Tower? I have researched and it was said that the Grimoire simply started appearing through the World a few thousand of years ago in the Mage World.'
'It then started making the Mana in the air richer, those who were naturally attuned with Mana could immediately feel it. No wonder... It seems that Mana is an entity just like that crazy old man, however, it was probably created by 'him', since he is everything and anything.' Naruto mused while thinking of that crazy old man who is there ever since the beginning of all sh*t.
Appearing in his Uzukage's Office, Naruto ordered his Council Members to come. He wasn't stupid enough to do all job alone, paperwork was something that haunted any person, however, one had to think as not to exhaust themselves.
His Council Members consisted of an Uzumaki clansman and a Chinoike clansman, despite being of such high status, they were incredibly respectful. Looking towards Naruto, the Uzumaki Council Member said: ''What did you call us for, Nanadaime-sama? It has been quite a bit of time since you last called us.''
The Chinoike clansman also nodded in a curious manner. Seeing them act like that, he felt like scolding his now non-existent clone before saying: ''In the past months, Akatsuki's activities increased and I feel a war is coming by. Ero Sennin has already gone to investigate Amegakure but we didn't receive newsyet, tell me your thoughts about the upcoming war.''
''Nanadaime-sama, I believe that we must take an offensive stance if a war really happens, the things that happened decades ago proved that being peaceful won't bring us any benefits.'' The Uzumaki clansman, who knew the suffering of his Clan, said.
Nodding, the Chinoike clansman said: ''I agree with him but I don't think that the war will be between a Village. Through the investigations, Akatsuki is triggering a war that will make them against the whole world.''
Just as Naruto was going to let the Chinoike clansman go on, an ANBU with a whirlwind-like mask flickered inside the Office. Staring towards Naruto, the ANBU said in a hurried yet slightly panicked tone: ''Nanadaime-sama, urgent! Jiraiya-sama was found to be dead after entering a fight against Akatsuki leader, he sent a message through a Toad!''
'So our plans to make him spy on the cowardly Otsutsuki started...' Naruto thought to himself but had to pretend for a bit. For a few moments, Naruto's light blue-colored eyes seemed to shine with all stars of the world as they became cold as ice.
The area around him trembled as the ground cracked and started spreading through the entire Office, taking a deep breath, Naruto used Doton to fix it. Sensing Naruto's pressure, the two Council Members and the ANBU couldn't help but fall to the ground.
'Pretending isn't that good but it's necessary.' Looking towards the three humans before him, Naruto said: ''I'm sorry for that outburst. We shall reinforce our defenses and security by four times, from what the message on the Toad says, Akatsuki's leader has the Rinnegan, he'll be able to bypass our natural defenses.''
''Yes!'' The ANBU nodded before flickering away. He is the ANBU Commander, as such, he immediately ordered all of the ANBU under him to increase the security while the two Council Members ordered the guards of Uzushiogakure to increase their vigilance.
Meanwhile, Amegakure.
