23 World History Part 1 (1/2)
”Finally back home, this mission was tiring, it almost made me miss D ranks”
”That is a good idea, we won't be doing many missions anymore due to an upcoming event that I want you guys to participate in”
Walking towards the village entrance gate were the four tired shinobi of Team 7. They had finished the Wave mission successfully and just got back after a fast pace.
”Yo Kotetsu, can you sign us back in, just finished a mission”
Kotetsu was one of the 2 Chunin shinobi that guards the village gate as a permanent assignment, he looked up and saw Kakashi before greeting him and nodding, quickly signing them in they started hopping on the rooftops towards the tower to report the completion of the task.
Landing infront of the Hokage tower they skipped the receptionist and headed towards the Hokages office to make the report instead of the mission administration due to the complications involved. Knocking on the door, they heard a muffled come in and stepped in to see the Hokage working on paperwork with some clones.
”Team 7 reporting completion of C turned A ranked mission”
”Oh Kakashi, good job on that, do you have the mission report?”
”Hai Hokage-sama”
”Give me a briefing and skip the details if you will, I'll look into it later.”
He nodded and started recounting the mission glossing over the most irrelevant parts but including the attacks, the situations they were in, about the backup they recieved and the change in Wave from the operation. Hiruzen was listening throughout while I sent him a signal secretly to make me stay.
”Hmm, it's really fortunate that you came back in one piece and good job to your students for their performance, I see that you've trained them well. What about the payment plans from the bridge builder?”
”Thank you Hokage-sama, Tazuna said that they'll accept whatever the leaf requires as payment, we just need to send someone with the message.”
”Good, you are finished here, Naruto can you stay, I need to talk to you”
Kakashi nodded before turning to us and saying he'll see us tomorrow at the training ground. When they left I removed my disguise and sat down infront of Hiruzen with a heavy sigh while rubbing my forehead. The ANBU shifted slightly when they saw me again, hehe they still couldn't get over it.
”Old man, Wave was a really screwed up country, I haven't seen such brutality towards civilians ever.”
”Can you give me a detailed report brat, what did you cook up there.” He was curious when he heard about the operation since I didn't report what I did, he recieved Kakashi message for backup but ignored it knowing I'm there. I grinned and started explaining everything that happened in extreme detail,
”Brat if you don't hurry up with the report we won't be done until tomorrow with such details, I don't want to know what you ate”
”Alright alright sheesh, you need to relax old man”
I started to seriously report about everything glossing over the unimportant parts, I told him about the towns and their conditions, about what they made them do and Gatos extensive network of guards and their strength, the more he heard the grimmer his face became, I can't blame him, such information should have been investigated thoroughly by their spy network due to Waves proximity to the village but all they recieved was unimportant pieces of the overall situations. It can either be that the people they dealt with hid their activities well, the spies were compromised or bought out. I continued on about my operation and the subsequent take out I did as well as what Gato had done and the things I found inside his vault. I threw him 3 scrolls and the black book.
”These scrolls contain all of Gatos assets and businesses he signed over aswell as everything miscallenous inside the vault, there are also bodies of all of Gatos men, see if you can find anything and cash in the bounties on some, as for the black book, you know what it entails to have that much blackmail, you can either use it to build up Konohas businesses and get more missions or whatever you want to do with it since I really don't care.”
”You're just going to give me all that?”
I sneered ”Old man don't be naive, I'll ask for a favor later on and that's all, I don't have the time or energy to kill myself in a business so you might aswell use it.”
He put on a wry smile while looking at me with a helpless expression, ”Alright as long as it's not excessive”
I nodded before looking at him with a serious face ”Old man, there is one more thing, are the ANBU here cleared and trustworthy for a SS rank secret?”
Seeing my serious expression he sat up straight and dropped his pipe on the table, he started thinking furiously about what could get Naruto this serious, he nodded to indicate that the ANBU were fine.
”Let them reveal themselves and have them sit down then, also bring in Inochi Yamanaka.”
He had a realisation and nodded before indicating for them to come down, they dropped down and stood straight up, they knew this was serious from the heavy atmosphere.
”Boar go fetch Inoichi, tell him it's urgent and can't wait”
”Hai”
”I need to inscribe a seal, try not to look into it too deeply when it glows”
Boar disappeared through the window, I unlocked a 2 meter long scroll from one of my seals on the wrist and opened it up, I activated my Fuigan causing my eyes to start glowing in preparation to write down the seal I was making.
