Chapter 95 - Aftermath and Training Naruto

The day after the attack was quite chaotic, the first thing that Tsunade did was catch the other two elders Mitokado Homura and Utanate Koharu, but soon she found out that both of them were under the subtle influence of Danzo's Kotoamatsukami, making them more favorable to Danzo's opinions, so after freeing them from it, she let them go.

Then she called all the patriarchs of Konoha's most important and powerful clans, where she announced the death of Danzo and give them a list of some of the crimes committed by him against Konoha, with relative proof, acquired from the ROOT archives.

Then she announced the removal of Itachi Uchiha from the missing-nin, and revealed the fact that he was still working for Konoha as an undercover agent in the Akatsuki organization, and that he gave them the info on the current members, things like names, appearance and known Jutsu.

To say that the others patriarchs were shocked and enraged once Danzo's crimes came to light was an understatement, especially about the Uchiha Massacre, the Experiments on innocent citizens, the Hokage Assassination Attempt and more important about helping Orochimaru attack on Konoha.

While the Uchiha clan wasn't well liked, it was for sure one of the pillar of the village and their lost weakened Konoha considerably, the experiment were also condemned, and trying to assassinate the Hokage is the greatest form of betrayal and is baffling that Hiruzen forgive him for it, and on the day of Orochimaru's attack all of them lost some people.

And they did not know what to think about Itachi's situation, then Tsunade said that Itachi won't be returning to duty as a ninja as he was officially retired, but he would still be a citizen of Konoha.

Meanwhile, on one of the training ground, the figure of Kakashi, Yamato and Ren could be seen looking over the thousands of Naruto training to cut the leaf with their Chakra.

As he looked over Naruto, Kakashi ask to Ren "So you have built a team to deal with threat like Danzo and Orochimaru, but also to take care of criminal organizations, and you do this without asking for remuneration? Then how can you bring in income?".

And Ren "It's quite easy...almost all the truly evil missing-nin have a bounty and the criminal organization have a lot of money...in fact everybody on the team is so well off right now, that technically we can stop, and live a quite comfortable life without doing anything, but we like what we do".

Yamato quite interested asked "Is there a place for another?" and Ren replies "Right now there are 3 position still empty, but I have already a candidate for it" right at that moment one of Naruto's clones come closer and says "Hey! Hey! I want to ask something Kakashi-sensei, isn't there anybody else with wind element in Konoha".

And Kakashi "You want some tips?" and Naruto "Yup" but Ren interrupt the two and says "When manipulating wind-type Chakra you have got to imagine splitting your Chakra in two and rubbing them together, then you've got to sharpen those two Chakra parts into fine piece and compress them together, the thinner and sharper the better" then he kept explaining copying Asuma until Naruto understood.

As the clone dispersed sending his new knowledge to the others Kakashi says "You've got a lot of knowledge..." and Ren "Kakashi-san remember that I was the first of my class..." as he was talking a Jigokucho from Zabuza came and gave the news that Isobu was caught by Kisame and the masked man that calls himself Tobi, and that now a part of him is about to begin sealed in a statue, but, unknown to the Akatsuki he is sending the majority of his chakra back to Zabuza.

The next day, Naruto finally was able to cut the leaf and was about to move on in his next training and trying to divide a waterfall in half using only wind attributed Chakra, but after he undid all the clones he collapsed exhausted and starts resting, and at the same time, Tsunade received the news of Chiriku begin killed by Akatsuki, so she turns to Shizune and says "Contact the newly formed ninja brigade, we can't let them out of the country".

Then an hour later she stands on top of the Hokage office building, and explain all the team their mission on hunting down the Akatsuki team, she at the same time give them the info she received from Ren about the members appearance and abilities, then she says "Now that you have this...you can judge more or less the level of your target, I do not want useless death, so if you can't handle your enemy do not engage and report back their identities and position, then I will send a proper team to deal with them...am I clear?" and after receiving confirmations, the various team move to start their hunt.

Meanwhile, Naruto recovered and started to train once again, and after an hour of him trying to split the waterfall, Ren noticed that something wasn't right 'Wait, why do I feel that there is something missing...something is wrong...but what?' then he kept looking at Naruto, and he finally got it 'He isn't desperate enough! He is putting his 80% in this training instead of the usual 120%, right Sasuke is safe and back on the right road, and even if Sasuke is a lot stronger than him, and he still considers him his rival, he doesn't have that drive to surpass him at any cost to save him'.

Then Ren went back home and asked Karin to come with him, as he needed her help, then both of them once again move to the training ground were Naruto was training and then Ren says "Hey! Original Naruto come here for a moment please" and Yamato ask while Kakashi is looking in silence "What are you doing Ren? Naruto has to focus on his training" and Ren just replies "That's the problem...".

Naruto jumps down from the earth bridge, move closer and ask "What is it Ren?" and Ren "Naruto you know that you are doing this training not only to grow stronger, but Kakashi's plan was to make you do what his teacher couldn't complete the Rasengan" then Ren starts explaining the history of Rasengan and how to complete it, and the fact that both Kakashi and the Fourth Hokage failed.

Once he finished listening Naruto asked "That is good, but why did you call me now?" and Ren "I called, to tell you that as you are now, there is no way that you are going to complete this in time, and if this happens you could lose something important to you...because if you aren't strong enough then you can't protect your friends from what is to come...so I decided that it is time to show you something...Karin do it!".

And before Naruto, Yamato or Kakashi could do anything, Karin used the Kongō Fūsa (Adamantine Sealing Chains) to bind Naruto, then Ren ignored the question of Yamato and moved closer to the struggling Naruto and said "Calm down, I won't hurt you, this is just as precaution" then Ren grabbed Senbonzakura and hold it inf front of Naruto and said "Now, please trust me and hold on Senbonzakura, we are going in your inner world".

Naruto calmed down and looked at Kakashi and seeing him nod at him, and looking at Ren that until now never did anything against him, and remembering the fact that even Sasuke trust him, Naruto moved his hand and took a hold on Ren's sword, and the next instant he finds himself in the same place, where he meet the fox the first time, then he heard Ren's voice next to him that said "Man, this place sucks".
