Tsunade slammed the table furiously and stood up while shouting loudly at the poor Anbu who had just reported that Sasuke Uchiha has left the village.
"What the hell.....what were the gatekeepers doing while a kid snuck out of the village unnoticed ,isn't it their job to keep a tight lookout at the gate." angrily stated Tsunade as she peeked at her Dear's face but couldn't see it clearly as Ichizu was sitting at the most-right corner of the room where Sunlight couldn't fully travel. So his face was covered in darkness as only the lower part of his body was visible to her.
"Shit.....after the Uchiha massacre ,the Uchiha clan has already withdrawn from the inner circle of the village and have locked their compound ,they are already utterly disappointed in the village because of what happened and now the youngest Uchiha ,Ichizu's little brother has suddenly left the town while no one in the village paid attention to it." thought Tsunade while thinking Ichizu must be very angry at the village right know.
Tsunade couldn't care less about the village ,her position was only a responsibility that see would give up after some years ,but the reason for her angry was her own incompetentes as for why did something like this happened under her lead ,why didn't she ordered more competent Shinobi to guard the gate. If she would have done so ,all this could have been prevented.
While Tsunade was busy in cursing the guards and feeling disappointed in herself. Ichizu was busy thinking about the future events and the progress of the 'Organization'.
Nikasu ,Merlin ,Izumi and Karna has already felt for tracking down the Zero-tails and that doctor's location. Fugaku and 3rd have been busy with handling the spies they placed in various villages for monitoring process. Gilgamesh and Enkidu have also left for the hunt. Samiramis and D`arc have also reached the *HIDDEN WATERFALL VILLAGE* and have also found a nice place for our base. Others are also on their mission.
Ichizu is not very concerned about Sasuke as he knows that the LEGENDARY PLOT ARMOUR would let him get used by Orochimaru but even then he decided to go after his brother ,have a talk with him and also place a flying raijin seal on his body.
As if he sensed the emotions Tsunade was currently feeling ,he signalled the anbu to leave the room as he placed a sound sealing seal to block the content of their talk being heard by any unwanted person.
Ichizu walked up Tsunade and pulled her into his embrace while caressing her hair gently ,sat down on the couch with Tsunade on his lap and said "It's okay Tsunade it's not your fault that Sasuke was able to leave the village without alerting anyone , I know the capabilities of my little brother ,after all both Nikasu and me , we both have trained him in various fields and techniques and stealth is one of them. I doubt that even after assigning the keepers duty to any higher rank shinobi could have prevented him from leaving the village." he comforted her with these words.
After snuggling uo with him for 3 min she spoke in a soft tone "Don't worry Dear~ I will send anbu to retrieve Sasuke-san back to the village....."
Ichizu gave a quick peck on her blushing face and stated "No need just send the new Chunin teams to retrieve Sasuke back as their first A-ranked mission and also you don't need to worry about their safety as I too will be going and also keep a watch of them."
(A/N:-Naruto is also a chunin in the novel and also others like ino and sakura are also chunin unlike in the original story. And also Ichizu will be watching from the shadows and the kids wouldn't know about that.)
Tsunade quickly summons the brats and explain the situation and Ichizu hid in the shadows while watching them.
"I am assigning you all your first A-RANK mission ,I need you guys need retrieve Sasuke back from Orochimaru's subordinates ,I don't care how you do it but bring Sasuke back in the village even his you have to force him to do so." explained Tsunade as they nodded back expressing that they understood every word Tsuande said.
"Granny~ why did they kidnapped Sasuke ,what do they what from him ???." asked Naruto in angry ,he just wanted to rush and smash that piece of crap , Orochimaru into a puddle.
"Why did he want to capture Sasuke is not known to us but you must bring him back at all costs." stated Tsunade seriously.
"Don't worry Granny~ I will save Sasuke from the cluches of that Orochimaru bastard....." said Naruto with a determined expression on his face as he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Shikamaru as you performed most brilliantly in the exams you will be assigned as the team leader fir this mission." added Tsunade.
"I will do my best lord 5th ...." replied Shikamaru while he thought 'Such a drag...'.
"Go now..." dismissed Tsunade.
After they exited the room ,Ichizu came out of shadows and nodded towards Tsuande as he went after the kids.
"I hope they will bring you back safely ,Sasuke-san." hoped Tsunade as he looked at the departing figure to the kids through the window located in the room.
{Meanwhile}
"Nikasu nii-san ,I was curious about why you like 'dango' soooo..... much..." said Izumi as she tried to eat Nikasu's dango (Not that dango..... geez come on guys stop your perverted imaginations.) only to receive a glare from the former as he placed his place away from her reach and replied "Curiosity killed the cat and also........STOP TRYING TO EAT MY DANGO." (Again ....come on guys what's going in that head of yours.)
As both of them kept bickering with each other Merlin sneakily kept on stealing both of their food and stuff all of it quickly inside his stomach. He was sitting a little away from their table. They were currently sitting inside the 'dango' shop which Nikasu loved to pay a visit at least once a week and more during missions.
After both of them calmed down and looked at their plates only to find their food missing , shouted "WHO ATE THE DANGO..." at the same time.
Everyone looked at both of them with disgust and started wishpering to each other ,as if they realized what did they just shout ,steam started to appear above their heads and they blushed furiously.
After sitting down both of them turned towards Merlin and glared at him to see if he had eaten their dango (hehehe...) but could only see the latter closing his eyes and gently whistling a soft and sweet tune.
After seeing that he was sitting further away from their table and looked like he was in his own world, they thought that he wasn't the one who stole their dango.
So they turned to glare hatefully at Karna as he was the only one sitting next to them. In return Karna made an innocent expression that seemed to be stating 'I ain't did no shit.'
{Meanwhile}
After creating clones for taking care of all the exhausted kids ,Ichizu watched Naruto and Sasuke as their Rasengan and Chidori collided.
BOOOMMMM...........
An unconscious Naruto and an heavily injured Sasuke could be seen on the water surface their surrounding were destroyed due to their battle.
"I am sorry Naruto but I need power and quickly too....and Orochimaru can provide me with it....forgive me my friend....." said Sasuke as he placed Naruto's body on the surface ground and placed his head protector in Naruto's right palm.
He turned around only to see Ichizu walking towards him.
"Nii-san....." said Sasuke as he lowered his head in shame thinking of himself as a disgrace to their family name.
"So this is your choice Little Sasuke.....have you decided that you will walk on this path ,that may even lead you to your destruction.???" asked Ichizu as he healed Sasuke and Naruto with his Sage-energy healing jutsu though Naruto was still unconscious due to the mental stress caused by releasing 9-tails chakra.
"Yes brother........no matter what happens now I have decided my path....." stated Sasuke with determination clear in his eyes.
"*sigh* Very well then I won't stop you.....you may leave but don't commit evil deeds and also be careful of that snake." after saying so he placed an irreplaceable flying raijin seal on the back of his left palm.
Ichizu grabbed Naruto ,his clones grabbed other kids and they teleported back to konoha leaving Sasuke their.
"Don't worry nii-san I wouldn't disappoint you.." said Sasuke as he walked away to Orochimaru's hideout.
{Meanwhile}
Ichizu and others arrived in the hospital as he healed everyone and told them to rest , naruto was still sleeping.
Ichizu teleported back into the hokage office , Tsunade asked "What happened were you all successful.???".
"Everyone makes their own decision , it is the choices that makes them what they are ,he has chosen his path and I wouldnt interfere.
Lable Sasuke Uchiha as a rogue ninja of konoha." said Ichizu.
'Take care Sasuke ,we will meet again and that to very soon.' thought Ichizu.
Tsunade was stunted after listening to him but nodded after regaining she her rationality.
