CHAPTER 31

When Naruto, Nanako and Kakashi reached the gates they saw a group of five people waiting for them. Two of them were women and other three were men. They were Tsunade's two disciple Ino and Sakura. As for the three men they were Shikamaru, Neji and Lee.

They all looked at Uzumaki siblings and Kakashi approaching. Ino and Sakura had neutral expression on their faces. Shikamaru had a lazy look while Neji looked at Naruto with a serious and hateful view. while Lee had a smile on his face.

The shinobis greeted Kakashi and Naruto. Kakashi too greeted them while Naruto and Nanako gave a smirk at them.

Lee came forward with a smile on his face, as he held out his hand out to Naruto as he said," Its nice to meet you Naruto San"

Naruto looked at Lee for a moment then he too put his hand forward and clasped Lee's hand for a shake.

"It's nice to meet you too Lee. If you don't mind me calling you by your name" Naruto said.

" Oh no problem" Lee said .

After that all of them aside Neji properly introduced themselves to Naruto and his sister.

Naruto and Nanako calmly talked to them too.

"Alright let's move" Kakashi said as they left the village.

*********************************************

Currently in a hidden location in the south of the land of fire;

All of the akatsuki members were gathered

Deidra a man with blonde hair tied in a pony tail looked at the others who were present.

"Man why did you call us. I was busy making some art!" He said in a annoyed tone.

At his side was a person with red hair and a short stature. This was Sasori the puppet master. He looked at Deidra and said," Would you shut up. You are too much annoying".

"Huh you wanna go at it!!" Deidra said rolling his sleeves and looked at Sasori.

"Bring it on!" Sasori said as he started moving his fingers.

The others present here looked at them with various looks.

"Both of you stand down where you are" Came a voice, loud and clear.

This voice belonged to Pain. Listening to his voice both of them calmed down.

Pain looked around quietly as he narrowed his eyes. He took a breath and said," It seems like the jinchuriki of the ten tails is coming to meet us of his own accord. I want everyone of you to be present and be ready to capture him when the time comes".

"What ?! The jincuriki of the nine tails is coming to us by himself. But why is that?" A man named Kakuzu asked. His face was covered and he had stitches all over his body which was hidden by the long jacket. Next to him, standing was a man with grey hairs slicked backwards. This was Hidan a worshipper of some god named Jashin. He smirked as he said," Heh isn't it great that he is coming to us. He will be a very good sacrifice to Lord Jashin".

"You do know that he is not allowed to be killed" Said Konan with narrowing her eyes, who was standing beside Pain.

"Yeah yeah I know" Hidan said in an annoyed voice.

"It is unknown as to why he wants to meet us but you all have to prepared as he was able beat Danzo of Konoha easily" Pain said.

"What?!" most of them were amazed by this.

Everyone here knew about Danzo Shimura. They knew that the man was not someone they could just trifle with. So after hearing about this, everyone wanted to know how this happened.

Pain looked at Itachi who was quietly standing there. Itachi came forward as everyone looked at it.

"I got this information from my informant, he said that Danzo got one shorted by Uzumaki Naruto by a single punch. He even died and was forced to use one of his secret techniques to resurrect himself" Itachi said lightly.

"How did that happen?" Kakuzu asked bewildered. He knew about Danzo and that guy was not someone who can be triffled with.

"It seems that Naruto has becoming that much stronger in these years" Itachi said seriously.

Everyone around looked at Itachi and their eyes narrowed. They knew that it would not be easy for them to catch someone who can defeat a person like Danzo and in top of that there might be other shinobis protecting him. They might even have some casualties.

"There is also the info about the fate of Danzo after the Incident" Itachi said.

"What is it" (Pain)

"My informant said that Naruto's sister was able to instantly freeze Danzo in some form of ice made of chakra which couldn't be melted by normal flames" Itachi informed them again. This time all the others were flabbergasted.

"What ?! his sister is also that powerful" Deidra shouted.

"It seems so" (Itachi)

"So someone who is that powerful without having a tailed beast in them must be an exceptional shinobi" Konan said slowly. Pain looked at her for a moment before turning to the others to put forth the plan, how to intercept the leaf shinobis and capture the jinchuriki.

At this time outside the hidden location in a forest area, two person were keeping watch . They were the masked man Madara and another humanoid being with half his body coloured black and the other half pale white. There was also a aloevera like thing around him. This was zetsu another member of the akatsuki.

"So what do you think does the boy wants from us?" Zetsu asked the masked man in a calm voice.

"No idea, Itachi wasn't able to get any info on that" The masked man Madara said lightly.

Suddenly they felt that someone was approaching them. They looked at the distance and saw that there were multiple figures approaching. Two among them seemed to stood out more. One was a man with blonde hair and the other was a woman with similar blonde hair. Both of them had whisker like marks on their cheeks and blue eyes. They were the Uzumaki siblings, Naruto and Nanako.

"Go, Go quickly inform them that they are here" said The masked man Madara.

Zetsu suddenly sank into the tree on which he was standing and disappeared from the place while Madara kept looking at the approaching figures. Suddenly a spiral like distortion appeard around the masked figure from his eyes before he got sucked into it.

Into the distance Naruto who was following the shinobis along with his sister had already noticed both of them. He and Nanako looked at each other and smirked. The shinobi team were not able to see this.

They didn't know that something very bad was going to happen which would change the world and Konoha's destiny. They would fall in despair.

*********************************************

Currently near the Hokage's tower a man who wore a black coat suddenly appeared from a dark purple coloured portal. He looked at the tower with narrowed eyes as he slowly walked inside it.

"It's time that you answered all my questions hokage Sama" The man said as he walked in with a dark smile on his face.
