Chapter 116 - Pain [3]

''Tsunade-sensei, after we analyzed the bodies, we found that the murderer used a top-quality Sword of about one meter. From the wounds, the blade is around 90 centimeters, the murderer also had extremely high Kenjutsu and understanding of the human body given he purposely avoided vital points, he or she probably had grudges against the two Elders.'' Hinata, who had just finished her job at the ANBU, said to Tsunade.

Sakura also nodded before saying: ''The murderer also had a high Medical Ninjutsu proficiency, there are traces of healing on the victims' bodies. He or she did a splendid job and also used the Chakra Scalpel perfectly, I'm afraid that neither I nor Hinata can compare to the murder regarding that.''

Hearing what Hinata and Sakura said, Tsunade furrowed her eyebrows lightly before sighing: ''From your expressions... No traces regarding the murderer were found beside what you said, eh? Well, I'm proud that both of you could analyze the body to such extents, we'll put that on a hold.''

By putting it on a hold, Tsunade was basically meaning that the fact the two Elders died would be sealed. Also meaning no further investigations will be needed.

Taking the opportunity that they weren't working at the ANBU after finishing their duties, Hinata said while blinking innocently towards Tsunade: ''Um... Tsunade-sensei, I wonder if you can let me go to visit Naruto-kun? I don't feel safe knowing that bit- I mean, Karin is with him.''

Sakura also smirked after hearing her words before saying: ''I also want to visit Naruto! I want to beat some sense on his sorry face!''

Glancing at Sakura weirdly, Tsunade teased: ''If Sasuke heard what you're saying, he probably would laugh at you. Not wanting yo break your dreams or something but while you're strong right now after being taught by me, do you really think Naruto stopped training?''

Bowing her head dejectedly, Sakura couldn't help but agree. In terms of talent, she's worse than Naruto and the blonde youngster is also way more hard-working than her.

He's cruel to others but is even crueler to himself.

...

Thirty minutes before Pain arrives at Uzushiogakure, Naruto went to talk with his older brother and Karin. He felt specially light after feeling that all who wronged him were dead and that they all died in a gruesome way.

It was as if a heavy (really heavy) weight was removed from his shoulders. Before he arrived, Karin greeted him by hugging him tightly as she said: ''Ah, Naruto-kun, I missed you soooo much! I couldn't even get near your clone before being flicked in the forehead!''

Fl.i.c.k.i.n.g her forehead, Naruto said with a small smile: ''Now now, stop complaining, Karin. I have something to say to you and Nii-san.''

Massaging her forehead, Karin looked towards Naruto grudgingly before happily following him. They entered a huge mansion where Naruto made a pool with his suiton and a few small lakes where aquatic animals freely swam.

He wanted his brother to enjoy and relax because Naruto knew that Kakashi suffered enormously in the past. If he couldn't enjoy himself and relax in the past, Naruto would allow him to do so in the present and future.

Kakashi was, as usual, reading the Icha Icha Series. Noticing his younger brother, a smile appeared in his usually stoic face as he said: ''Yo, remembered that you have an older brother, Naruto?''

The blonde youngster's eyebrows twitched lightly before he was welcomed by a warm hug. Kakashi muttered lightly before sitting and going back to read: ''It's good that you're finally back, Naruto.''

The redhead also nodded happily before a smug smile appeared on her face: 'Heh, Hinata, I have Naruto entirely to mee till you finally come. I'll be sure to size the advantage!'

Soon, she calmed down as Naruto started to talk: ''So, you know Akatsuki Leader, Nii-san, Karin? Well, he's coming here along with a legion of his lackeys so in around thirty minutes, a small conflict will break out.''

''WHAT?'' Karin yelled in surprise as Naruto blocked 90% of her voice from reaching his ears. Sighing, he said: ''Don't worry about him, even if Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fought together against me, they would be instantly crushed. That clown named Pain is exactly what he is... A clown.''

''So the two of you can just sit down and relax. My Uzumaki clansmen are already finishing setting up all traps to his lackeys while the Chinoike clansmen will deal with the lackeys by using their Ketsuryugan. Meanwhile, I'll deal with the Clown, find his real body and kill him.''

''...'' Even Kakashi was speechless after hearing Naruto, who talked in such a carefree manner. He couldn't help but feel that his younger brother was different: 'It's like Naruto changed but I can't point exactly what it is. His mood seems to be... lighter?'

'Oh... So he'll just go and kill the big boss and everything is done. To hell! Damn, why do you say such things and look so damn cool? Aaargh!' Karin thought to herself while having a small mental breakdown while noticing a slight change in Naruto's mood.

Like Kakashi, she felt that Naruto's mood was somewhat lighter but couldn't point exactly what it was.

Meanwhile, on the depth of Akatsuki's base, a man with medium-sized red-colored hair that covered his right eye and showed his left eye which was a Rinnegan suddenly shuddered. His skinny body that seemed weak as a paper started trembling for unknown reasons, this is Nagato Uzumaki, also known as Pain and Akatsuki's Leader.

'What is this bad omen I'm feeling...?' Nagato thought to himself as his Six Paths of Pain floated towards Uzushiogakure along with a legion of White Zetsus.

Soon, he shook his head lightly before thinking to himself: 'Not to mention the power of my Six Paths of Pain, I have all of the White Zetsus. I have both quality and quantity... Kyuubi, your power will soon be mine and will be used to create a new world.'

What Nagato couldn't expect was the power of Naruto and the ones who trust him. The Uzumaki Clan and Chinoike Clan didn't trust the blonde youngster because of his strength but because of the opportunity and kindness he showed to them.

Naruto is their leader and they held unbreakable trust in him.
