Myself, Karin and tayuya quickly left towards takigakure. The mission is to infiltrate the village and take fuu because the takikage refuses to guard her against the akatsuki. I know for a fact that she was captured by kakuzu and Hidan but me and the raikage eliminated them which means there are two other pairs available.
Deidara and sasori or itachi and Kisame. The second pair being the most likely as kisame is a water specialists being from the hidden mist and with itachi and his mangekyo they could easily capture fuu. Me and the girls can move much faster than two years ago so we reached the village in about 8 hours.
We arrived at the foot of a massive waterfall which would be the size of the stone faces. Ontop of the waterfall is a plateau for the village that is shaded by a massive world tree that was rumoured to be placed by the senju ancestor. According to Karin the safe way to get in is to use an earth jutsu and walk through the waterfall towards a hidden passage.
The chakra required to build and maintain an earth wall against the waterfall is monstrous so only jonin or higher can do it for a large group. If we managed to enter that passage we would have to face their shinobi which would alert them to our presence. Stealth is kinda the big thing as a ninja so we took the approach naruto never would as it isn't loud.
We were going to walk up the waterfall, you may think that it's crazy but I'm with two uzumaki who have adamantine chains that they can drill through the water into the cliff side. Although we aren't doing that because they're chakra would be detected as takigakure is famous for their sensors. It's why Karin got a good foundation as a sensor in the first place.
So with one small step I began to march up the waterfall slowly to keep my chakra to a minimum so as to prevent detection. Karin would voice if my chakra output was detectable and tayuya would use echolocation to be on lookout incase some of their shinobi stuck their head out.
For three hours we walked and only had some mild sweating, what do you expect? The three of us are monsters compared to average shinobi. We have chakra reserves and skills most would dream off. Our progress may be small but it was fruitful as we managed to find guy's hidden area that she stays in.
I remember in the anime that she was segregated from the village and stayed in a spot with a view of the inside of the waterfall so we looked for traces of bijuu chakra. With one nail gun a water funnel opened which allowed us to hop into her abode. We were pleased at our success but that quickly vanished as we looked up to see itachi holding fuu by the throat about the extract the seven tails.
"Hidden leaf? I see you must have taken actions into your own hands to protect the jinchuriki. It's admirable but...." " flying knocking fork!" I screamed throwing my flying fork at itachi who swiftly jumped back. Tayuya whipped out her flute and began playing a melodic genjutsu to disturb itachi'S balance while Karin pulled fuu towards us.
Tayuya seemed to have some success as when itachi threw his shuriken they missed by a fair margin which made him furrow his brows slightly. Taking extra care to avoid his eyes I cast a fireball jutsu. Before itachi could react kisame appeared and used samehada to swallow the Jutsu but once it had the four of us had vanished. "Nice signal partner" "apologies but they are much better than my brother and his team" "I think we should signal leader, that blue haired brat was the one who took out kakuzu and Hidan as well as fighting the three tails." After a long pause itachi nodded "agreed let's leave before the taki shinobi arrive "
Meanwhile toriko and the girls jumped down into the waterfall and allowed the current to carry them to safety. They're durable enough to tank the fall after being trained by tsunade. Toriko also had senjutsu so he could literally be tossed off a mountain and be fine.
They began to swim towards the hidden lead by following the river. Karin had wrapped fuu around her back with her chains similar to how kankuro covered his puppets. They surfaced for air and began healing fuu who was unconscious. Tayuya was as pissed "for fucks sake now we're soaked and not in the good way. You dick, you better make it up to us" to which Karin nodded vehemently as she removed the genjutsu which let fuu spring to her feet and began to grow wings.
"Who are you! Where's the cloud guy, why's cho cho annoyed, I'm hungry, my names fuu what's yours". "Hi I'm toriko of the hidden leaf, these are my women tayuya and Karin uzumaki. Basically those cloud guys are called akatsuki and they hunt jinchuriki. Your kage was informed but did nothing because like most idiots he hates jinchuriki but hides it better than most. We came to recruit you to the leaf so we can protect you. There's a guy like you there and people like us who would be happy to have you there". Fuu processed that quickly "happy? Does that mean you want to be friends" toriko nodded "sure, let's head back and we can go out to eat. My treat fuu chan".
To which fuu responded with by jumping in the air with happiness followed by a little dance and monologue about how fun this could be. On the journey back Karin bonded with fuu as she was in a similar position while tayuya acted more friendly than she does with normal people. Toriko asked her questions probing for info about her life in takigakure just like he was trained. Though it was also to get to know fuu better.
"Hey you are a Yūhi ain't ya toriko?" "Yeah so?" "OMG!!!! I love your sweets, I tried making my own with my honey. I made honeycomb cookie bars and they were amazing but yours are even better!" "Wait you said your honey?" "Yeah cho mei can produce honey so I use it for cooking. It saved my butt when I ran out of food sometimes back in my old village"
Toriko just had an epiphany, this ball of joy is a honey farm with bijuu chakra meaning if he cooks with it it'll be like the three tails all over again. "Fuu when we get back come to my place and we can cook some stuff with your honey. I had so many ideas". "Really! Like what! I want to hear all the food gods ideas!"
Yes toriko is hailed as the food god, the akimichi and the inuzuka practically forced it into existence. Toriko began selling meats that he cooked and sold with various techniques that hooked both clans. His alcohol also wormed its way into every country now so everyone wants in his clans good books which is hilarious because there's only two of them.
"White chocolate with blueberry honey buns, honey and lemon curd tart with berries, strawberry, ginger and honey pie, banana pancakes with honey butter, honey and ginger brûlée pie, cotton cheesecake with honey plums, triple honey chocolate trifle, apple and orange blossom tarts with honey labneh, saffron honey jalebi, a honey, apple and jasmine tea cake, honey ginger snaps, honey and coconut basbousa and lastly honey apple strudel".
The women's stomachs collectively tumbled while they drooled abit. All women love sweets! And this man is a good of sweets when he feels like it. Wordlessly the women began to speed up so that can reach the hidden lead and let toriko do his duty as a boyfriend/bestie.
