Over the next couple of days, they recovered from the attack the Kiri invaders did to them a couple days ago. Walking into the main tent, Mei walks up to the front.
"Good evening everyone. Now to business.
I just received the report from the man we took into interrogation a few couple days ago. We got him to crack and the information he revealed to us is troubling" Taking a deep breath.
"The invasion they did was a way to weaken our forces. Yagura is planning to launch a full scale invasion to end this whole war once and for all.
He is going to be targeting this base camp in four days time"
The room was now silent. All of the commanders were now fearful, could they survive a full scale invasion? Interrupting the silence Naruto speaks up.
"If I may Mei-san?" Naruto gestured politely. Mei with a nod continues.
Naruto points his finger to a spot on the map "Well this is why you hired meto end this war. I will intercept them here in this field.
Most likely Yagura will be with them but he will wait to his forces have been diminished. I will eliminate his shinobi and him"
Mei immediately shouts "No way Naruto! Their is no way I am letting you go out by your self we are all going to war. This our war as well" Naruto shakes his head.
"I am sorry, but I cannot let you suffer any more casualties" A commander decided to chip in. "Boy you must be crazy if you believe you can take on his whole army plus the Mizukage himself, as impressed we are with your abilities you are no match" Naruto only looks at him and then at Mei, who looks at him pleadingly.
With a sigh Naruto says.
"Alright how about a compromise? You Mei, and handful of your best soldiers will be on the battlefield. The rest will only hinder the means to end this war.
Agreed?" Mei and the commanders still look at him unsure. Naruto slightly raises his spiritual pressure getting everyone in the room to breath a little hard.
Looking at Mei.
"I am sorry Mei-chan, but regardless of what you do I am going to go on the battlefield whether I have you on the field or not" Diminishing his spiritual pressure. Mei looks at him, then sighs "There is no fighting this huh Naruto? Fine I will go along with my best soldiers"
Turning her gaze to the commanders" All of you, I still want you to prepare just in case they breakthrough or they come here though another means. Dismissed.
" Every started filing out of the tent, until Mei grabs a hold of Naruto's arm.
"Naruto-kun, why are you so adamant on going alone on the battlefield. I know your here to help us but why do it by yourself?" Mei says worriedly.
Naruto seeing her expression softens his features and caresses her cheek. Mei leans into it liking the affectionate gesture.
"Mei-chan, there is something you have to know. I am going to defect from Konoha in a few months after the chunnin exams.
" Mei shoots up her head in surprise.
"Before you speak, listen to everything I have to say. " With a sigh Naruto continues "In my village I am not liked.
I was scorned, beaten, and had to live out on the streets. It wasn't until I found a man who became my sensei.
He trained me to what I am today. "
"I also found out who my parents were and that I am the jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Yoko. From that point on I knew what I wanted to do.
I wanted to do two things. I wanted to start my own village where no matter who you are you will be accepted.
The second is to be feared In the whole elemental nations. "
"The reason I took this mission and why I am so adamant on going alone is because when I finish this mission ji-ji promised a place to start to build my new village. Also this would be a good way to get my name known.
"
Mei stood there silently absorbing the information she was just told. After a few minutes she spoke up caressing Naruto's cheek with a smile.
"I may not understand the situations you had to face on a daily bases, but I do understand your reasoning for what you need to do. You have my support no matter what Naruto-kun" Naruto looks at her with a soft smile.
He was happy knowing that this beautiful women was understanding.
Naruto leaned in close and pecked her softly on the lips. Mei who was taken back by the kiss froze, after a few seconds she recovered and went forward to continue the kiss.
After Naruto pulls back and looks at Mei. Mei could not believed she was just kissed by him.
But inside she was glad he did, it felt so right to her.
"Mei-chan I want you meet two people" Mei raised an eyebrow at what he said. A few seconds later two figures seemingly appeared out of nowhere right beside Naruto.
The first one wore an elegant kimono she had vibrant red hair. The girl next on the other side wore an elegant light and black kimono with light white hair.
Turning her eyes to Naruto.
"Mei-chan this is Aka-chan or the Kyubi no Yoko and the women beside me is my sentiment sword spirit Kyoka-chan. Both are my wives" Mei looked at them with wide eyes
"K-Kyubi? The nine tailed fox?" Mei stammered. Akane lightly laughs "The one and only" Mei still wide eyed "H-How can you release her? I thought the seal prevents her from doing that? Does the Hokage know" Naruto runs his hand through his hair
"I released the seal. As for ji-ji ignorance is bliss.
He doesn't need to know. " Mei quickly retorts "Are you sure that was a good idea? What if she goes and hurts other people?" For Mei that was the wrong thing to say.
