Chapter 53 - RESCUING GAARA (Part-2)

Naruto was currently handing out with Konohamaru and his friends as it's been 2-years since they last saw each other, in these 2-years Konohamaru has m_a_t_u_r_ed quite a bit.

His grandfather the 3rd had been spending time with his grandson. Teaching him his ideals , technique and the will of fire.

Due to all this grooming Konohamaru has powered up quite a bit, he has already learned some fire and earth style jutsu for his grandpa and would occasionally spar with his Uncle Asuma while the 3rd watched them while smoking his pipe.

Konohamaru has been quite for some time as naruto left without informing others ,only Tsunade, Sakura and some more people knew about this as this was kept a secret so that no other village could know that 9-tails Jinchuriki was running wild all over the place.

"Boss let's spar ,I have gotten much stronger in these 2 years since you left to train with Jiraiya-sama. I have been training with my gramps and have already mastered many jutsu." said Konohamaru smugly.

"Humph.....I too have been training with Prevy-sage and have gotten much stronger you don't even stand a chance against me." said Naruto arrogantly.

"Oh....yeah.." & "Yes.!!!" said both of them as they smashed with forehead with each other.

"Okay...okay...both you stop this instance or do I need to repeat myself...." said Sakura while balling her knuckles.

Both of them immediately quited down as even his these had guts to fight even with a hokage ,they don't have the balls to mess with bad bitch Sakura, you won't like her when she is angry.

Just as they were fooling around on the streets of the village, a crimson-colored snake suddenly slithered up Sakura and coiled against her palm.

Just as Naruto was about to strike the snake and free Sakura ,he heard her saying "Stop!!!!!.... naruto it's a summon of Ichizu-sensei."

"Ichizu-sensei use snakes..?????" asked Naruto bit un-nerved as snakes reminded him of Orochimaru and Sasuke.

"Yes and it got a message for us." said Sakura as she takes out a scroll from Snake's enlarged mouth.

"Hmm....we have been summoned by the Hokage...Let's go looks like it's urgent." said Sakura as she and Naruto bid goodbye to Konohamaru and headed towards the Hokage office.

{Meanwhile}

"Hahahaha....come on keep pushing through we can do it, this is the power of the new generation ,this is YOUTH...!!!!!!" two green-colored cloths wearing figures ,walking on their hands which shouting like mad people could be seen.

Following them ,2 more figures one male with white clothing and white eyes while the other female also wearing white uniform and gaint scroll could be seen walking behind them.

Suddenly a person wearing black-white uniform with a hood on ,could be scene standing in front of them. They went on alert as they didn't knew about *YAMI TO HIKARI* and seeing a person appearing in front of them with a single noise, they were on guard against him.

"Who are you..????" asked Guy while adopting a serious attitude.

"Master Ichizu has ordered me to inform you that your team is required to report immediately in the Hokage office." saying so the figure again disappeared.

The Gang was left dumbfounded as after hearing the tone of the hooded figure it was very easy to deduce that the person was a female.

But the real reason why they were bewildered was that they didn't knew about any kunoichi who is this skilled ,this left them complementing as they made their way towards Hokage's office.

(A/N:-The figure was Ishtar and she vanished due to using <Concealment>.)

{Meanwhile}

Kakashi could be spotted reading *Makeout Paradise* while laying on a tree branch when suddenly Kakashi heard a voice "Are you Kakashi-sama.???"

Kakashi looks at the small toad as he replied "Yes I am Kakashi Hatake do the Hokage requires my presence.???"

"Yes ....you have been summoned by Ichizu-kun to quickly arrive at the Hokage office ,there is a mission for you and your team."

Kakashi nodded as both the frog and he disappeared with a poof.

{Meanwhile}

"Have you placed the barrier outside..???" asked Sasori.

"Yes the entrance has been blocked while the barrier is running at full force.

"Good let's hurry and seal the 1-tails." said Sasori as he has been feeling a little uncomfortable ,it was like he and his partner were being continuously watched by someone.

But even after scanning their surrounding many times over he couldn't find anyone watching them ,even Deidara couldn't search for any intruder ,even after using his small clay creatures.

After making sure that they were truly alone and no one else was here they communicated with others and starting the sealing process.

"Hmm....truly the akatsuki is a band of capable and strong individuals they could still sense me even after I distorted the reality and space around me. Though it will be more proper to say that they have great institutions." said Nikasu while watching both of them sealing the 1-tails.

'Why don't you just kill them master ,Even though I can't sense your strength I know that you are way stronger than both of them.' said a m_a_t_u_r_e woman wearing Sparkling blue dress.

(A/N:- Merlin is in Nikasu's inventory , this lady here is the sword-spirit of Nikasu ,even though he has two rapiers with him ,both of them can fuse into 1 sword and this is it's spirit. This was a quest reward which both Ichizu and Nikasu completed. The lady can change into a single sword or two rapiers and can communicate with Nikasu through soul link. No one while hearing Nikasu speaking as the space around his is distorted.)

" You don't understand ,Ichizu and me ,we both are the real manupilaters of all the events happening here,we don't have a choice but to control everything and lead it to a certain event. We are required to do things like this that's why I am not attacking them."

"I am here only to make sure everything goes according to the plan and nothing drastic happens." replied Nikasu.

"Hmmm.....well I am going to rest master." saying so she turned into two rapiers and attached herself to Nikasu's waist.

(A/N:-The photo of the two Rapiers and the lady is in the Discord plus suggest me a name for both Nikasu's sword spirit and Ichizu's sword spirit.)

"Gaara has been captured by the akatsuki and Sunagakure has requested our assistance in rescuing him." said Tsunade.

"WHAT.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Naruto as his eyes became blood red.
