Ryu groaned… This was troublesome. His team stopped in Takigakure, but it was literally in shambles, due to his fight with Saori, who had unfortunately managed to escape. It was quite a shame actually.
God help him… Wait… He was a God… How was he supposed to help himself in this situation?!
~~
Orochimaru smirked, as he looked at the figure in front of him, Danzo Shimura. A person who was really insane according to him. He wanted to be the 'guardian' of the village, yet was doing too many criminal acts just for his own greed.
His teacher truly was a fool, to believe that Danzo wanted the best for the village. The old man had reached up to him, wanting the snake to give him Hashirama's DNA, implanting it into Danzo's arm.
Why? Orochimaru had tried to ask the man that, but the scarred man refused to answer, telling him it was not his place to ask him about that. The snake was interested on how Danzo had found out his hideout, but he was also denied an answer there.
Orochimaru might not be evil, but he would undoubtedly not care if people died, as long as he got the results to his experiments, and Danzo… Was certainly an interesting experiment subject, he accepted Danzo's offer.
He might be a spy for Konoha, but that did not mean he had to report every move of his to his teacher. However… He'd do Konoha a favor for now, while he put the Hashirama DNA into Danzo's arm, he also secretly implanted something into it, so if he ever tried something against the Hokage, or Konoha it would explode, possibly taking his life.
You could call it his gift to Konoha,"Orochimaru-sama, The Fourth Hokage has sent a message for you."
"Hoh, Kabuto, leave it in my desk, I'll read it after I am finished with this… We'll see what that person has to say to us… Ah this is going to hurt, Danzo-kun."
"Aaaarggh!"

Minato groaned, his son had just sent a letter to him, unfortunately due to an issue, he had to recall every Jounin, leaving his son's team alone, he thought Jiraiya would be with him, but he also returned with the Jounins.
The issue was simple, There were several organizations which were threatening Konoha's existence, and they were not weak ones either. He had estimated that each member was around High Chunin to Low Jounin Level.
'Are those people hired by the Akatsuki to create chaos… So we forget about them just for now? I don't know… What would the first or second do in this situation… I know! I'll just go ask The Third.'
Minato bit his lower lips, as he looked at Mina, who was looked at him with her eyes, beautiful eyes. The frown disappeared from his face, and an expression of happiness replaced it. "My beautiful princess."
Mina giggled,"Uhm… Hokage-sama… We are in a meeting…" A jounin said desperately with a sigh. Minato looked at with with an eye raised higher than the other,"So?" He replied with confuse.
"Why… Are you holding your… Daughter?" The jounin gathered all his courage and asked with a gulp.
"Is that a problem,Orogi-san?" Minato smiled sweetly, his sight never leaving the jounin's eyes who shivered,"No.. It's not a problem! Forgot it all!"
"Good."

Ryu sweated, when Fuu grabbed his arm, refusing to let him go, because she was extremely scared of what had happened recently. He could see the dried tears on her face, and he sighed,"At least wash your face, Fuu, there are tears on it."
The girl pouted looking extremely cute, and released his arm, proceeding to wash her face. She then immediately grabbed his arm,"Don't be stingy… Fuu, otherwise how can you become a kunoichi?"
Geez, she really was a kid, well she was 10 wasn't she? If Ryu was not an experienced shinobi, who… was over a thousand years old, he would probably be in the same situation as her, if this had happened to him.
Ken, who was literally next to the two smirked, Yato almost did the same, but seeing he was a Hyuuga, he still had some honor left inside of him, so he tried to hold it off, but failed badly at it.
"You wanna die, huh?!" Ryu threatened the two who immediately shut up, the last thing they wanted to do in their list was anger Ryu, it was one of the worst things you could do with your life.
The last time someone angered Ryu, he made is to their life was practically over. He pranked them so badly… That his own brother and mother literally told him that he had done a masterpiece!
His sister though, Yuki was not one who pranked, she was more like her father, calm. She was currently training with Tsunade, after she begged her to take her, Jiraiya was extremely annoying.
Ken snorted as he slightly retreated,'He's only getting cocky because he got a girlfriend before us… And he is only eight years old, that lucky bastard...Geez.' He thought, and Ryu could read his thoughts.
How did Ken realize that? Because the second after he thought that, he saw Ryu smirk visibly. It was an evil smirk. He felt like slamming a fist at his teammate and friend. Yato sighed,"Ken just leave him alone with his girl… I mean friend." He stopped half-way when he saw the glare Ryu sent him.
Team 7 had only seen a better glare by few people, which included Kushina,Minato(He could be extremely evil at times.),Anko and Kakashi, of course there were many more, but that was what they could come up with immediately.
Fuu smiled,"Don't tease him like that guys. By the way is Konoha near here?! I really want to see the Hokage Monument! Is the Ichiraku Ramen as legendary as they say in Takigakure?!" The rest sweated.
Ryu started to laugh, and the rest followed,"Don't worry, Konohagakure does have a lot of legendary places, and it's not that far, but don't do everything immediately, you first need to rest a bit."
