Naruto: I am Adopted son of Snake Sannin – Chapter 3 –
[Sorry for late upload, because of College exams I couldn't upload chapters. This is my first chapter which have 6k words, equal to normal three chapters 😄 👍]
In dark cave,
"Hahahaha you noticed me now? I was here from the start, even before you started your conversation with Kabuto"
Kabuto turned around and saw silhouette, kids also noticed him but only saw his silhouette.
Kabuto stayed calm and let the man pass from him as man walk towards kids from shadows, when kids saw his face they stopped talking with each other and stared at man as if they were seeing ghost walking towards them through dark shadows from cave, man had long smile on his face as he saw kids he licked his lips.
Kids shivered when they saw him lick his lips with his long tongue.
Man had very pale skin, golden eyes with silted pupils, purple markings around his eyes and fang-like teeth.
He also has pronounced cheek bones and straight waist-length black hair with some locks covering and framing his face or to his shoulders.
He was wearing plain grey garbs with a black polo and pants underneath, a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back, blue tomoe-shaped earrings, and Ninja sandals with bandages around his calves.
He glanced at Naruto and smiles as he spoke "Well Naruto-kun, as we were talking you asked me who am I? Right Naruto-kun?"
Naruto doesn't show any fear on his face, turns his face towards pale white face of man and answers while looking into his golden silted eyes with his blue eyes "Yes! You are right, so tell us who are you?"
Man chuckles with big smile and spoke with amusement "Uzumaki Naruto you are truly fearless, a quality that every ninja should need"
"I like your attitude Naruto-kun that's why I will give you personal advice never let your guard down, even if enemy looks harmless and show kind nature that doesn't mean they are not your enemy anymore"
With small pause pale man glanced at blonde kid and then glanced at Kabuto and smirked "You and Kabuto are same, you two fake your emotions in front of everyone, you hide your emotions in that fake smile of yours"
"You and that Aburame boy already wake up one hour ago, but when you guessed there is no harm to you and other children and then you started conversation with Kabuto, through out conversation you started gathering information as much as you can get from Kabuto.
"You faked your emotions from the start, you waited for Kabuto to let his guard down, then you tricked him with your acting skills and got the information you wanted from him"
"But then you got dissatisfied with information you got from Kabuto, then you wanted to test if you got Kabuto frustrated can you get more information from him"
"Thus you started your drama but when other children wake up and started conversing with each other you didn't fake your emotions through out that little conversation of yours and you tried to trick them all to look into my direction to get me out of shadows…"
"What do you want to prove from this old man!" This time Naruto didn't hide his emotions.
With smirk pale skinned man spoke "I don't want to prove anything, I'm only praising you for your cunning and quick thinking and also I'm teaching Kabuto what mistakes he made through this conversation"
"As for your first question Who am i? Let me introduce myself Naruto-kun my name is Orochimaru"
As Orochimaru introduce himself Torune spoke with fear in his voice "You are Orochimaru? One of the legendary three sannin of leaf village and his famous moniker is Snake sannin!"
"Hoho someone is well-informed thank you for the introduction Torune-kun, as we were talking so my name is Orochimaru and why did I kidnap you and others? Right?"
"Yes why did you kidnapped us from leaf village?" Naruto asked with curiosity.
"Well you see I didn't kidnap you from leaf village" Orochimaru corrected Naruto.
"What do you mean? You didn't kidnap us from leaf village then where did you kidnap us from?"
"I kidnapped you from cloud ninjas who were in land of hot water"
"But Kabuto was the masked guy who kidnapped me from my apartment which was in the leaf village!"
Naruto pointed out at Kabuto asked with disbelief on his face as he spoke "You lied on my face you liar!"
"Well you see I did not lie to you, as I spoke we didn't kidnap all of you from leaf village"
"But we stole all of you in land of hot water from cloud ninjas who kidnapped all of you from leaf village and as you pointed out that you saw Kabuto in cloud ninjas who kidnapped all of you orphans from leaf village you are correct but he is my spy who collects information for me from other villages by disguise himself into ninja and infiltrate in target nation"
"When you people were kidnapped that time he was undercover in cloud ninjas as a Chunin who kidnapped you Naruto-kun from your apartment"
"But that doesn't explain why you kidnapped us in the first place!" Naruto debated with Orochimaru without getting back.
"I kidnapped you from cloud ninjas to adopt you Naruto-kun" Orochimaru spoke with smirk on his face and glanced at everyone.
As words escaped from Orochimaru's mouth every person who was present in the cave first stared at Orochimaru from his toes to his face and after that they fell on their face, as if someone broke their wall of common sense, every person in the cave stared at him and thought what type of bullshit this person is spouting from his mouth, on other side Naruto could not utter any words from his mouth
With long pause Naruto argued "Are you gone senile or something you old man, are you gone crazy! You crazy old snake!"
First Naruto calmed himself than he glanced at Orochimaru "Look at me you crazy old snake!"
"How can you kidnap someone from their house to adopt them, if you want to adopt someone there is legal process, go through that legal prosess then you can adopt someone"
With long smile Orochimaru smirked "Well Naruto-kun in first place no one from Leaf village's higher-ups will not let me adopt you legally"
"Why wouldn't they let you adopt me in first place?" Naruto asked with curiosity on his face.
Orochimaru sighed and answers "I am one of the biggest wanted criminal in whole ninja world, also I defected from leaf village who is ninja military village, they who declared me S-Rank missingnin, why they would let me legally adopt you in first place"
"Well that is very big problem for you, and that is justified reason you have there to kidnap me from my apartment"
"But what will I gain from you if you adopt me?" With long smile Naruto glanced at Orochimaru.
"Oh! What will you gain from me if you let me adopt you right?" Orochimaru smirked and licked his lips with his long tongue.
"Well I will teach you everything that I know and I will teach your clans secret techniques, and also for bonus I can tell you why villagers hate you if you agree to become my adopted son" Orochimaru showed his offer to Naruto.
"That's nice offer you have there but…"
Naruto thought for some time and asked with curiosity "You explain why you kidnapped me, but you didn't tell me why you kidnapped them to?"
"Oh! They are good subjects for Kekkei genkai study, they are last remaining members of the unique kekkei genkai clans, just like you they have very unique body, with their data I can study uniqueness of their clans bloodline limit "
"Don't tell me you defected from Leaf because of your illegal experiments right? You giving me that vibe of crazy scientist, you know"
"You can say that"
After hearing Orochimaru, Naruto thought for long time and spoke "Look old man snake, let's make it clear if you want to adopt me you have to adopt others five kids too, and you will take care of them same as you will take care of me also you will not harm them in any way in future, believe it!"
Seeing stubborn nature of blonde Uzumaki he thought 'Does the all Uzumaki clan members are stubborn when they are in their youth, he surely is stubborn like both of them'
After long thinking Orochimaru spoke in seriousness but still with playful smile "If you insist I will adopt them too, as you said I have to treat them as I treat you right but they have to earn my knowledge and teaching through hardship, is that ok too you?"
"Is that ok with you guys?" Naruto asked with innocent smile.
"It's ok to us!" Both twins and other three answers in cheerful tone.
Torune smiles and says "If he adopt us all then I will be your big brother right! Then it's okay with me, I always wanted too become oldest big brother!"
"Stupid! How old are you?"
"Hey! Who are you calling Stupid!" Torune turned around and saw girl who had long brown hair and light brown eyes who was standing behind Torune with boy who had white colored hair and red eyes.
She smiled and said "Let's first introduce ourselves first then we will decide Who is oldest here!"
"I will be first and quick! My name is Yumeko , Kurama Yumeko and I'm five years old!" Brown haired young girl said with pride in her voice.
'Kurama clan is famous for their rare Yin release kekkei genkai which manifest once in century, they are mainly known for their genjutsu specialization only second to Uchiha clan' Kabuto thought with curiosity.
White haired young boy chimed in "My Name is Arashi , Todoroki Arashi and I'm also five years old"
'He was in target list because he showed signs of elemental kekkei genkai as report had this information only' Kabuto was thinking
Aburame boy introduce himself "It's my turn! My name is Torune, Aburame Torune and I'm six years old!" Torune gave cheerful smile.
'He has developed new kekkei genkai in his clan, informal reported it's some kind of bloodline limit mutation first time occurred in his clan, he has poison body with his insects, he has very unique body, because of poison body's unique traits his own clan members avoided him'
Cheerful green head twin shouted "My Name is Enju, Shakunetsu Enju and this is my brother Enjin, Shakunetsu Enjin…"
His twin brother slapped on backside of his head "Why did you hit me!" Enju almost crying asked his twin in fury.
"Stupid! I can introduce myself and we are three years and six months old"
'Shakunetsu clan survivals? Old legend says that they are the progenitor of "Scorch release" they created this powerful kekkei genkai before start of the ninja village era almost before one to two hundred years ago they got wiped out'
Orochimaru thought to himself.
'I have to see if they have any relationship with Pakura of Scorch release' Orochimaru grinned to himself as like mad scientist that he is
'Hahaha it's almost time, research on curse mark is progressing well, the child brought by Kimimaro has unique physics which absorbs Nature energy for transformation, he is the unique factor that will help me to achieve the power of the sage mode'
As Orochimaru was in his own world, the loud noise of certain blonde brought him back to the reality.
"So it's my turn now right! My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I'm four years old!" Naruto laughed and turned his face towards Kabuto, following Naruto's example other kids also turned their faces towards Kabuto urging him to introduce himself.
Kabuto sighed and shot his glance at everyone in the room "Didn't I introduce myself to all of you, ok I will introduce myself again my name is Yakushi Kabuto and I'm eleven years old"

Eight hours after Naruto and orphans are gone missing,
On land of fire and land of hot water boarders, group of ninjas are travelling in high speed, one of the ninja with ninken shouted "Found the traces of kidnappers, inform everyone to assemble!" Inuzuka clan member informed his teammates.
Squad leader who was Uchiha clan's Jounin used Fire release to make small fire ball and fired up into the sky as flare to assemble all squads in his direction.
"Let's go they will follow us soon, Aiko use your Byakugan and see if there are traps in our path"
Aiko nodded and activated his Byakugan to scan path in front of them and reported "Everything is clear!"
"Everyone be alert we are crossing borders, don't let your guard down we are entering into the land of hot water, inform me immediately if you feel anything wrong" Squad leader Uchiha Shin activated his Sharingan as he instructed them.
After half an hour later,
Hyuga Aiko informed "Squad leader Shin there are battle traces hundred meters ahead"
Inuzuka clan Jounin also chimed in "That's the direction kidnappers scent coming from Squad leader Shin"
"Let's go see what happened there, don't let your guard down" Shin instructed them as his full mature sharingan started spinning.
After ten minutes of investigation they found unknown language symbols writing written in circles on ground and surrounded with mummified bodies without their heads, as head were missing.
"Squad leader Shin it's looks like some kind of heretic ritual conducted by some cult" Shin nodded his head as he was examining corpses of the hidden cloud village ninjas.
"Not much time passed culprit killed kidnappers recently, all blood sucked dry from their bodies and every body doesn't have heart in their chest" medical ninja from Hyuga clan stated his examination.
"Noticing factor is that the blood which was used in writing doesn't belong to any dead bodies here, also these bodies belong to hidden cloud village, five are Jounin level ninjas and other remaining twenty are Chunin level ninjas, squad leader Shin what should we do next?" Aburame Jounin asked to Uchiha Shin.
"First store those dead bodies in storage scroll, secondly some us of will wait here for backup, it's getting more complicated then we thought" Shin spoke with grave tone.
He further gave instructions to his squad "Send messenger hawk to village with that storage scroll to inform them our current situation to get backup and inform them to send sealing grandmaster to examine this language in this ritual formation"
"We will separate in four teams team one will stay here for further investigation and wait for backup, team two will investigate surrounding areas, team three will go to hidden hot water village and ask them if they know this group who practice this rituals and finally team four with me will follow traces of culprit to find their hideout" Shin instructed every person in the Squad.
Uchiha Shin performance hand signs lastly he bites his right hand thumb and get blood on his left hand and stamp that hand on ground and summon black cat which had red eyes and wore white cat mask with white kimono.
As black cat spoke with strong voice "Nya? Oh! It's Shin-Kun, why would young man like you will summon old man like me, Nya?"
Before Shin could speak Black cat spoke with curiosity "Nya? Hmmm what is this familiar dark aura?"
Shin got conclusion 'Black cat tribes elder Kuro-san found something!'
Black cat spoke with urgency as he turned his face towards ritual markings and started walking towards in direction of ritual markings "Nya? Who would have thought I will see those markings again after one hundred and eighty years"
As black cat Kuro described "There is no difference at all, upside-down triangle in circle surrounded with complex sealing script, there is no doubt that this is sacrifice ritual conducted by high ranking member of Jashin cult, Shin you really are surrounded with bad luck, Nya!"
"Nya? Did you call for backup from leaf village Shin-Kun, listen Shin-Kun tell me all details as we track down hideout of Jashinist cult" Kuro instructed Uchiha Shin to follow him, Shin and team four started following black cat.
On the way Shin told everything happened in leaf village "Nya! How troublesome are those Hidden cloud village, this is their second time that they kidnapped Nine tails vessel from Hidden leaf village, Nya"
Hyuga Aiko spoke with curiosity "Elder Kuro, what do you mean by it's Hidden clouds second time they kidnapped Nine tails vessel?"
As Aiko asked his question everyone's attention was on Kuro,
For their surprise Kuro told them "After end of the second ninja world war, Hidden cloud village planned to kidnap that times one and only vessel of Nine tails, she was child of Uzumaki clan who was newly turned into Hidden leaf villages second generation Nine tails vessel, at one night of full moon they kidnapped her from her home and after tying down her with rope they dragged her like a animal as if she was not from their kind, but young blonde ninja with blue eyes saved her from those monsters, he arrived in time and saved that innocent girl.
"Could any of you tell me Who was the blonde ninja with blue eyes?" Black cat asked question with small smile.
Everyone pondered over question, but only Uchiha Shin answered Kuro's question "In whole Leaf only one person match your description, when you say blonde ninja with blue eyes the only person I can imagine is the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.."
"Nya, You are not only so smart but you are also intelligent Shin-Kun" Black cat praised Uchiha Shin.
"It is not that I'm so smart, But I stay with the questions much longer" Shin spoke without any emotions on his face.
"But you had never questioned who does the boy who carries nine tails resemble to? Did you ever had this question Shin-Kun?, if you see pictures of both Fourth Hokage and that Uzumaki child don't you think they quite resemble each other Nya?"
"Quit it Kuro-san don't start your conspiracy theories here" elderly and strict voice scolded from behind.
"Nya! Don't you scare me Yami-kun" Black cat scolded Old Uchiha.
"Don't you think you are too much older to play detective, don't you think elder Kuro?"
"And Jounin Shin did you find traces of hostages and kidnappers?"
"Yes! Elder Yami, we found dead bodies of kidnappers who were hidden cloud ninjas but…." Shin told everything his squad investigated and involvement third party who took hostages with them after killing hidden cloud ninjas as they moved forward tracking traces.
"Hmm.. so you summoned Kuro-san to show sacrifice ritual symbol markings and too investigate further you started following traces of third party who has hostages" Uchiha Yami was thinking as he spoke.
"Kuro-san what do you know about those Jashinist? How strong are they? Tell me?"
"Well to tell you Yami-kun we don't have much information on them, they are very mysterious group but I can say that they are not strong, merely at level of chunins but with their weird and tricky abilities who they gained as boons from their evil god Jashin.."
"And what are those abilities?" Silhouette asked them, silhouette who was middle aged man with other squads following his lead.
Middle aged man with black hair and onyx eyes in hidden Leaf Jounin standard flak jacket and black shirt with the Leaf Military Police Force symbol on the shoulders, metal shin guards, finger less gloves with metal plates and a black, open-front apron with black flames design.
Middle aged man was vice commander of leaf military police force, right hand man of Uchiha clan head.
"Natsu you arrived on right time we found kidnappers….." Uchiha Yami gave brief description of current situation of mission, Uchiha Natsu nodded and turned towards black cat Kuro.
"You were describing their abilities right? Kuro-san?" Uchiha Natsu insists Kuro to explain in detail.
As Kuro explains, the known hierarchy in Jashinist cult is simple, lowest rank of cult is followers or cultist who are on level of peak stage Gennin.
Low-mid rank in cult is Disciples, which they are at the level of low stage Chunin, they have authority to command five followers or cultist in cult.
Low-high rank is Priest, they are at peak stage Chunin level, they have authority to command three disciples at a time.
Mid-low rank is Warrior, they are at the level of the low stage too peak stage special Jounin. Warrior monk have their own squad and their Mid-high rank squad leader who is Head monk at the level of Jounin rank, warrior monks only follow orders from Bishop, they are bodyguards of bishop and they never leave him alone.
Upper-low rank is High priest who is second to only Bishop in authority, High priest is at the level of a elite Jounin, with boon gained from Jashin he become more powerful.
Lastly Bishop who never showed himself and only command from shadows, it is only known that he has seer ability and directly communicate with their evil god Jashin.
Kuro sighed " Nya! That is all information we have on them, Hey! Hyuga kids look in that valley with your Byakugan tell us what you see"
As Kuro instructed they saw with their Dojutsu, as they examined valley with their eyes they surprised because they saw very complex and advance barrier surrounding valley, they saw movement of people in black cloakes with scythes guarding cave at the end of valley.
In front of cave cloaked figures started making pile of the dead bodies and they putted those bodies in unknown circle surrounded with complex symbols, one man came from cave started murmuring something and doing some unique hand seals by himself, following his command more cloaked figures came from cave, each person carried one jar with them.
Cloaked figures slowly walked towards pile up dead bodies and surrounded it in circle, they put jars on the circle and stepped back, cloaked figures raised their both hands towards sky and then started chanting something.
Hyuga members in squads reported their findings in valley "Squad leader Natsu they are performing some kind of ritual sir!"
"Tell me what are they doing and what you saw!" Natsu commanded Hyuga Jounin.
As Hyuga Jounin reported, every person in the squads were surprised because the total count number of pile up dead bodies was between fifty and sixty, they also founded that missing heads and hearts of hidden cloud village ninjas are those jars, as whole valley was in advance and complex barrier these proved that in cult ranking they have sealing master or grandmaster who put barrier around whole valley.
"How many are they in number? And there are any survivals in that valley?"
"Squad leader Shin, they have around forty people at level of peak stage Gennin, twenty people at level of low stage Chunin, ten people at level of peak stage Chunin and lastly one man at level of Jounin, their total count number is seventy one"
"But noticing factor is that they do not have normal chakra like us, their chakra color is dark and gloomy"
"Reporting! They turned all bodies into paste!" One Hyuga reported.
In valley, as priest's and High priest's chanting came to ending they all slammed their hands on ground, then from their hands white symbols started spreading towards circle, when white symbols surrounded circle they started glowing red, as symbols and circle glowed in red thus the bodies started to floating in mid air and they also glowed with red chakra.
Unknown force generated pressure on all dead bodies and crushed them into paste, when all bodies turned into paste then all jars also started floating in mid air, unknown force opened jars and took out five beating hearts and five heads, they all floated towards flesh paste and merged with flesh paste.
Unknown force pulled white matter from flesh paste, when all white matter turned into white ball, white ball started shaping itself into five headed giant skeleton.
After constructing skeleton, skeleton floated towards flesh paste and flesh paste also floated towards skeleton after that they started merging with each other.
((((((((((((((((((((👹))))))))))))))))))))
Nine hours after Naruto and orphans are gone missing,
In Hidden leaf village, T&I force department building, in torture cell room man was sweating heavily he begged "I know only this much, I swear I only provided his name, I don't know who they are! Please don't torture me! I will die if you torture me more!" Thus the man fainted.
"How pathetic! Take him to the analysis team" Men in dark uniform left with man.
"Three council members and one Jounin?"
"One council member from leaf hospital, he sold information to the hidden cloud village" Ibiki turned his head towards next Jounin spy.
"Who would have thought famous Jounin like you who was once Anbu will betray leaf village in it's crises?" Ibiki turned his eyes towards man in black hair and spoke "Kohinata Mukai who has taijutsu specialization, tell me Mukai how it felt when you were defeated by two kids who are supposed to be at the same age of your kids?"
One hour ago,
In hokage office, Sarutobi Hiruzen the third hokage of leaf village was reading scroll, he frowned and looked towards Jounin commander Nara Shikaku "There are lot of spies in our leaf village, but we should….."
Hokage secretary knocked office door and came in, he urgently gave report scroll and storage scroll to the hokage "Hmm.. Squad Four lead by Jounin Uchiha Shin, he and his squad are the first one to find leads"
As Hiruzen frowned while reading scroll, report statement was that squad four lead by Jounin Uchiha Shin founded culprits behind kidnapping, but problem was that when they founded culprits they were dead, bodies without heads and hearts were used in some kind of sacrificing rituals, they didn't find any corpse of the children who were kidnapped.
Total count number of dead bodies of hidden cloud ninjas in site is twenty five, five Jounin level ninjas of cloud and twenty Chunin level ninjas of cloud, through examining corpses they found that the those bodies become mummyfied because of blood drained out of them, later heart was removed from their chest and lastly they chopped their head.
Hiruzen called four Anbu gave order "Snake summon team Ro immediately, Wolf give this scroll to the Medical research department and tell them I want report as soon as possible, Tiger inform Clan head Uchiha Fugaku and Clan head Hyuga Hiashi to come to my office immediately"
Three Anbu black ops used body flicker jutsu and departed from hokage office.
Hiruzen turned his head towards last remaining Anbu ninja as he removed ring from his index finger of right hand "Take this ring Bat and go into Tower of forty fourth training ground, after that go inside forbidden library and show this ring to record keeper tell him that I called him" Anbu used body flicker jutsu and disappeared in second from his spot.
"Shikaku look at this symbols, this unknown symbols what can you tell me?" Hiruzen gave scroll to Nara head.
"In my entire life I never saw this level of complex symbols, if you look closely they don't resemble to both normal sealing symbols and Uzumaki sealing symbols, l suggest that we should call clan heads show them this symbols and the triangle in the center of circle? We should look for this symbol"
After pondering over some time he suggested "Lord hokage we should get help from your summon"
"I think summon clans should have more information on this symbols"
"That's great idea!, and also I know who should I summon" Hiruzen used hand signs and summoned "Summoning Jutsu : Black Lord "Yama!""
As Hiruzen used summoning jutsu he slammed his hand on ground, when he slammed his hand on ground then from his hand black symbols started spreading in circle, from that circle white smoke appeared.
When white smoke was cleared human size with black fur appeared, he had yellow pupil eyes.
Yama wore black armor and black pants, in his right hand he held silver long staff and in his left hand he held traditional wine bottle of monkey sage mountain.
He took seep from the wine bottle "Hiccup!" Yama stared at Hiruzen and asked "Want some?"
"No" Hiruzen refused.
"Why would busy man like you summon me, wild monkey like me would be dangerous for your village" Yama questions Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"We want some teaching from Drunken sage" he showed symbols on the paper.
"I can only tell you that those symbols belongs to the cult of Jashin, if you want know about them more you should contact their mortal enemies" He took paper in his hands, drunken monkey stared at paper for long time.
"And who are their mortal enemies?"
"Uzumaki clan of the land of Whirlpools"
Further statement of Yama shocked both third Hokage and Nara Shikaku.
"If I was in your place I would have gone to the Uzumaki clan immediately, if those Jashinist are active in your nation or in your neighboring nation than this means you're nation is in grave danger"
"Is Jashinist are that dangerous?" Shikaku spoke with urgency.
"I can only tell you that if you fail to stop them in their early phase, there would be lot of casualties in future than you can imagine, well if you can't contact Uzumaki clan there is only one way, that is you have to go all out kill them or if can't kill them, just seal them using sealing Jutsu and today is your lucky day because I have these sealing scrolls which can seal living beings, my time is up I will get going sayonara!" Yama disappeared in white smoke after he gave scroll to Hiruzen.
Half and hour later,
"Knock! Knock!"
"Come in!"
Anbu squad came in and kneel down on one knee in front of Hokage they waited for orders, Hiruzen instructed them as he gave them scrolls "Team Ro with Anbu squad two and three will go as an backup for special squads four lead by Jounin Uchiha Shin, further mission information is in scroll"
Team Ro departed from hokage office, Sarutobi Hiruzen waited for Clan head Uchiha Fugaku and Clan head Hyuga Hiashi, after they came.
Unlike silent Hiashi, Uchiha Fugaku questions Sarutobi Hiruzen "You called us for something lord third?"
"I have S-Rank mission for both of you" Hiruzen picked paper from the desk and handed it to Uchiha Fugaku "Look this symbols do you recognize any of them?"
Uchiha Fugaku examined paper for while and pointed out "This symbols belongs Cult of Jashin, as I remember around twenty years ago daimyo of land of Rivers requested Uchiha clan to investigate mysterious disappearance of civilians children from various villages"
"Through investigation we founded out that children who were kidnapped by Cult of Jashin for sacrifice, before they could conduct their rituals and sacrifice kidnapped children, we confronted them and annihilated every single member in the cult"
"But their leader who called himself priest of Jashin, used some kind of forbidden technique to summon army of skeleton and turned his dead subordinates into some kind of walking dead monsters…"
"Did you face any casualties on your side Fugaku?" Both Hiruzen and Hiashi had same question, both were eager to learn more information about Jashinist.
"Yes! We had around two to three Chunins were wounded and nothing much, elder Tanjiro used flaming katana kaien to kill Jashin priest in single strike, that way they completed their mission, mission center should have mission report scroll submitted by Jounin Uchiha Tanjiro twenty years ago"
"Such major incident happened and I didn't get information about mission?" Hiruzen pondered by himself.
"Lord third does this have anything related to kidnaping?" hearing Fugaku's words Hiruzen became serious.
"Squad four founded culprits behind kidnapping, but problem was that the those culprits were already killed by someone from the cult of Jashin, currently they suspect that someone performed sacrificing ritual to kill twenty five cloud ninjas who were kidnapped nine tails vessel Uzumaki Naruto and other orphans from our village"
Hyuga clan head Hyuga Hiashi face red with mention of cloud ninjas "Last year's Hyuga affair was not enough? They kidnapped Nine tails vessel too!"
"Hiashi I have sympathy for your lose, but we have big problem ahead of us. The problem is that the Cult of Jashin took kidnapped hostages with them and squad four requested backup because through report he told us that when medical ninja Hyuga Aiko from Hyuga clan examined corpse of twenty five ninjas stated that the all five Jounin and twenty Chunin level ninjas died on same time"
"They all died on same time? That's strange!"
"Because of this strange phenomenon, I will sending both of you as an backup for squad four, it will be S-Rank mission" Hiruzen gave them scroll which had coordinate of squad four's location.
"If you can't eliminate Jashinist, then seal them all for eternity" Hiruzen gave instructions.
"If we can't kill them, we will seal them, take Uchiha and Hyuga clan's Sealing experts with you, I called Jiraiya for help, he will assist you in sealing Nine tails vessel if Uzumaki Naruto lose his control, leave village immediately" Both Clan head's nodded and left office room.
