Chereads / The Masked Uzamaki / Chapter 23 - I'll Be Back

Chapter 23 - I'll Be Back

Naruto stands at the front gate, Gaara and Jiraiya stand with him. Shijo stands at the gate looking at the three. "Well see you later. I'll make sure to take real good care of this place." Shijo said as he smiled.

"Just make sure the reconstruction gets done." Naruto replied.

"Oh yeah. Busty blonde here you come." Shijo said before he closed the gate.

"Oh Shijo one more thing. I'll be back. Remember it ok?" Naruto said before continuing to walk.

"Whatever." Shijo said as he closed the gate.

-1 year later-

Two teenagers and a old white haired man walk down a street as they enter a little town not to far from a mining company. "So why are we here?" Naruto asked annoyed.

"I have some spies here. They said they heard something about the Akatskui." Jiraiya said as he walked towards a bar.

"Not again." Gaara sighed. Naruto just grew angry.

"Pervy Sensei! Where do you think you're going?" Naruto asked grabbing his collar and dragging him away from the bar.

"Let go of me you blonde headed brat!" Jiraiya yelled.

"No! We are continuing our training!" Naruto yelled.

-Forest-

"All right fine. We can start your next lesson. In a every mans life he goes through changes and those changes are noticeable. Very noticable." Jiraiya said.

"Pervy Sensei we already know stuff about that." Gaara said. Jiraiya anime fell.

"Since when did you start calling me that?" Jiraiya yelled. Gaara just had an emotionless face while Naruto laughed.

"H-he finally d-did it!" Naruto continued.

"Enough. Anyway that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the need for.....woman." Jiraiya said scribbling something into a book.

"Oh hell no." Naruto said as he got mad.

"Oh yes. Take this book. It'll teach you everything you need to know." Jiraiya said now behind Naruto whispering into his ear.

"I'm a shinobi. I can't get distracted with that stuff." Naruto argued.

"On the contrary. Thia could help you gather information." Jiraiya pointed out.

"He does have a point Naruto." Gaara agreed.

"What! You agree with him!" Naruto yelled. it gave in and sat down while taking the book.

-1 hour later-

Naruto finished the book that Jiraiya went through. "So many possibilities. So many positions. So many word and startegies." Naruto whispered staring at the ground wide eyed. Gaara only silently nodded.

"I told you. Now I'm gonna go meat with my spy. You two do whatever. Meet back here a nightfall." Jiraiya said before leaving.

"What just happened?" Naruto asked standing up.

"I think Pervy Sensei has taught us how to pick up...woman." Gaara answered.

"There is no way that information is valid. He's a pervert that speaks at woman. There is no way that he would be a master at it. Like I heard him trying to pick up Tsunade, but failed. Badly." Naruto remembered.

"Should we, try to do it? Gaara asked.

"I don't swing that way." Naruto answered back.

"Why. You knew what I meant why must you be like this?" Gaara asked walking away to try out his new 'information' collecting abilities.

-3 months later-

Naruto and Gaara are sparing. Naruto dodges a spike of sand by jumping up. "Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!" Naruto yelled. The water drenched the sand. Gaara stopped and readied more as it takes more unnecessary chakra to control wet chakra when there is a lot of dry sand all around.

Gaara tilts his head to dodge a punch and then dodges a punch from behind. Gaara sweeps Narutos legs out causeing him to fall. Gaara brought his foot up and brought it down on Naruto like a karate chop forcing Naruto to the ground quicker.

Naruto hits the ground causeing a small Naruto sized crater to be formed, but Naruto turned into smoke. Gaara turns in time to see Naruto coming from above.

"Omega Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as a large Rasengan formed in his hand. It was the size of a small shack. Gaara quickly brought sand up and over to protect himself from the attack . The Rasengan and Gaaras sand meet as the Rasengan easily busts through it hitting Gaara, or so he thought.

Naruto stood in the crater he made. He looked around through dust in a fighting stance. An arrow of sand is shot at him. Naruto tilts his head dodging it but not before it cuts his check.

"Should have known you would go into the ground. I'm suprised you moved so fat through it, but this dust won't stop me from finding you." Naruto brought his arms across his chest in an x form. "Wind Armoured Attack: Wind Wave!" Naruto yelled send a blast of wind all around him. The blast uprooted trees and cleared the dust easily.

Naruto looked around him only to still not see Gaara. Naruto jumps in the air in time not to get grabbed and throws three shuriken. The arms go back into the ground before they get hit. While Narutos in the air he's hit in the back and sent flying to the ground at a fast speed.

Naruto hits the ground face first. Naruto raises his head and spits out blood. "Come on! Stop controlling your sand from under there and come up here!" Naruto yelled. Naruto dodged a kick and then grabs a punch aimed for his face.

"Hello." Gaara said staring down Naruto.

"Good to see you." Naruto replied before kicking Gaara in the chest. Gaara sidstepped dodging the kick. Naruto still had a hold of his fist so Gaara threw a kick to the back of Narutos knees.

Naruto let's go of Gaara fist and jumps backwards on his hands dodging the kick. Naruto then sends a kick at Gaaras chest hitting him and making him stumble backwards an fall on his butt.

"Nice try. Why dont we call it for a day?" Naruto asked wiping sweat from his forehead.

"Fine with me." Gaara replied.

The two find themselves walking in the forest to their destination. "How's the cloaking buisness coming along?" Gaara asked.

"Fine. I can use them separately for a long time, but together it harder. I have to focus a lot more and I need to increase my chakra co trol more." Naruto replied.

"What about with your friend in there?" Gaara pointed at Narutos gut.

"With Kuramas help I'm able to use it almost forever. I dont really know why hes able to help me with the cloaks. It may be because we've been together for so long." Naruto replied as he stepped through some trees into an opening.

"Civilization." Gaara said as he looked onto a village. The Village Hidden In The Waves.

"Yep. How much longer so you think this war is?" Naruto asked continuing into the village.

"I don't know. Why would the Mizukage want to wipe out blood lines. It insane." Gaara said as he and Naruto walked across a bridge.

"We meet with Mei in a couple of hours so don't be late." Naruto said splitting off from Gaara.

"Real funny coming from you." Gaara said with an expressionless face before continuing.

Naruto walked down the busy street. The Land of Wave was in a civil war. The Mizukage has gone crazy and is trying to kill all different types of bloodlines. Mei is the leader of the resistance of the fighters against it and Naruto and Gaara have been sighed by Jiraiya to help out.

Naruto sighed as he sat at a table. He picked up a menu and read what he wanted but decided to only get some water. A female waitress walks up to him.

"May I aske what you want?" The waitress asked.

"I'll just take a water. Thankyou." Naruto said while winking at her.

"Right away." She said walking away blushing.

"I love being good looking." Naruto said leaning back.

"I see you consider yourself pretty high." A voice said in front of him. Naruto looked at the figure. It was a cloaked woman.

"I'm guessing your Mei?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. May I ask you don't speak so loud." Mei more like ordered.

"I thought we where meeting later?" Naruto questioned.

"Change of plans. We heard talk of them executing more prisoners in a canoe on a nearby island. I need you and your partner to break in and take it down." Mei told Naruto.

"Does Gaara know about it?" Naruto asked.

"He's being told right now." Mei responded.

"You trust we can do it?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. I trust the Sannin. He trusts your capabilities so who am I to argue." Mei responded.

"Ok. Where do we meet you?" Naruto asked.

"There is a dock North of here. There is a small shack disguised as a fish shop. Knock on the side door and say 'For those who we protect'. That is the password." Mei told him.

"Alright." Naruto said standing up and walked out. Mei now alone was startled when the waitress set a glass of water in front of her.

-Northern dock-

Naruto knocked on the side of the fake fish shop in the cover of darkness. An eyeball looked through a hole in the door.

"What do you want?" A man asked.

"For those who we protect." Naruto said before hearing a click and the door open to see a table with Mai, Gaara, and a group of other man surrounding it.

"You're here. Good. Now we can countinue." Mei said as she started pointing to an island on the map. "This island is a fortress responsible for executing prisoners. The execution starts early in the morning so you must do this in the cover of darkness." Menu told the two.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but do you really think these two brats can infiltrate this camp. We've been trying for months and have failed. What can they do?" An oldish man with an eyepatch asked.

"They are our help so they must be capable and what do we have to lose." Mai responded. "Now, you two will sneak in over the walls. It is a field but do to the fog it will be hard to see people coming. You should still be careful though." Mei warned.

"Are there any reinforcement if we get found out and how many enemies are there?" Naruto asked.

"There will be no reinforcements and with the numbers of the enemies, we cant be sure but it's above fifty." Mei told Naruto. Naruto and Gaara looked at eachother and nodded.

"We can do it. Well be back in an hour at most." Naruto said going towards the door.

"We will be observing from a distance and we might back you up, but don't expect it to happen." Mei said before Naruto and Gaara walk out.

"Let's go kill some baddies." Naruto said cracking his knuckles.

"Agreed." Gaara said also cracking his knuckles.

-Island of the fortress-

Naruto and Gaara role up an a beach with Mei and a couple of others a few meters behind them.

"How should we get over the wall?" Gaara asked. Naruto smirked.

"I think I might know a toad."

-Fortress-

Two men stand close to eachother. They stare at the blank field of fog. "Do you think they are foolish enough to come?" One man asked.

"Probably. They'll do anything they can to get the uperhand." The other man responded.

"Yes." He replied. As he nodded a shadow was now over them. Two figures fall on top of them. One on each. The two figures slit their throats before any noise is made.

"We should make clones to replace who we kill." Naruto suggested. Gaara nodded. Two clones popped up identical to the two dead men.

"You ready?" Gaara asked.

"Ih hell yeah. Let's take down a fortress."-
