43. Fire Daimyo’s Request [2]

'Kuu-san, do you have any idea about that so-called True Dark Release? They chose a cool name to their Kekkei Genkai, though...' Naruto thought while asking Kurama, that shook his head inside his new, decorated home that was made especially for him, a 100 meters tall Nine-Tailed Fox. [1]

With a sigh, Kurama said 'No, that True Dark Release is probably something that appeared in the few decades that passed, maybe it appeared by the time the 3rd Great Shinobi World War was happening but due to the extreme danger, your mother wasn't able to leave so it's possible it appeared at that time.'

Then, he added 'Sorry, kit...'

Naruto didn't really care about it, if Kurama knew about it, then it would be great as more information about the enemies would be known but since he doesn't know, there's no problem.

A few days had passed since they arrived here, no further attacks were made, as if the enemies were preparing.

They were now inside a courtyard with many rooms, the boys from both Teams shared two rooms while the only two girls from both Teams had a single room only for them, overall, they felt happy. The courtyard also had a small field that could be used for training, for now, the enemy attacks had stopped so they could rest until further actions could be requested.

''Red-eyed bastard, let's fight, I just don't know if someone with the fate of a loser like you can fight on par with me!'' Neji said while looking towards Sasuke, that had been angered by his comments.

Looking over the long-haired youngster, Sasuke smirked ''What about you, with such long hair, are you planning on becoming a true girl to pursue males? I didn't know you swung that way.'' the black-haired teenager said as a vein popped on Neji's forehead.

The veins at the side of Neji's eyes were slightly visible, a sign that his Byakugan had activated, taking up a fighting stance, he prepared to fight and so did Sasuke as his two-tomoe Sharingan activated.

Without further warning, they advanced towards with each other, just as their fist were about to connect, Kakashi appeared in the middle of them and caught their fist, sighing, the white-haired man said ''Now, now, don't be so childish, both of you are already teenagers, stop acting like little kids. Come, the Fire Daimyo's requested a meeting.''

Grunting in annoyance, the extreme opposite youngsters nodded.

''Welcome, Konohagakure Shinobi. I'm the Fire Daimyo's but you can call me Honō Moyasu, I believe that you all know the situation and have already found some information from what Kiho said to me, I won't drag this on, the two that are attacking me have been doing this for long but never was it on such scale.''

In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man stood there, he was the one that said that. He has small, circular eyes and dark pupils, he also wears the standard daimyō headpiece, signs of aging could be seen in his face through wrinkles, he is the Fire Daimyo, Honō Moyasu. [2]

Giving him a quick bow as a show of respect, Kakashi said ''Indeed, necessary information was obtained but no weakness regarding the attackers Kekkei Genkai was found, all we found is that he can Absorb and Release Ninjutsu and use some dark mist to disappear, I feel that as long as they aren't able to use that mist, they can't escape.''

''Even if they try to run, our youthful team would be able to catch them! The power of youth burns deep inside us!'' Gai said with beaming confidence, the Fire Daimyo was slightly speechless but nodded nevertheless.

Honō Moyasu looked over Konohagakure Ninjas before he said ''They're attacking the nearby small villages but these two are attacking the central ones alone, trying to build a path towards here. As long as we can deal with them, from the information given by you, the Seal of the attacking forces will be removed, thus, no attacks will be made anymore.''

The Fire Daimyo then added ''Our spare forces inside these villages are defending with all their might but they won't be able to hold on for too long, if not because things were so critical, I wouldn't have asked Konohagakure for help. I hope that you all can help me in such times.''

Tenten looked over Sakura, they had gotten to know each other for the past few days and noticed that they were rather similar in some things such as their skills to make hidden traps ready to defeat enemies, receiving the permission to talk from Gai, she said

''Sakura and I can prepare traps in different small villages, they're nearby and wouldn't take more than two days from what I've seen in the map, these traps would help the spares forces to deal with the attackers, Fire Daimyo-sama.''

Her tone was slightly respectful, every Ninja knew that the Daimyos needed to be respected due to their financial and resource support towards the village, without a Daimyo, many villages wouldn't have been able to even support itself.

Looking over Tenten while feeling surprised, Moyasu nodded in a satisfied manner ''That's good, having someone in the Team proficient in making traps is good, however, it's dangerous for you two to go alone, you should select one more member of your Team to go.'' he said.

Sakura looked towards Naruto while Tenten towards Neji, however, both of them avoided their gazes swiftly so that the only females in the Team could only give up, in the end, the poor Haku couldn't reject them asking him to go, the blonde teenager looked over the long-haired, feminine-looking youngster with some pity 'Being dragged by Sakura and Tenten at the same time, even I can't help but feel pity for you, rest in peace, Haku.'

Both Naruto and Sasuke looked towards the sky and in sync, they sighed as Kakashi's eyebrows twitched continuously 'You two... Ah, so young, so cruel, the epitome of cruelness is doing such thing to such a gentle person as Haku, he just couldn't do anything as these two dragged him.'

Even though this passed through his mind, the white-haired man couldn't help but sigh 'Rest in peace, Haku.'

[1] I've seen some videos regarding the size of Naruto's beasts and most of them regarded Kurama as a 100 meter tall being, as such, I took the liberty of doing that, if any of you can help me with that part, I would be glad.

[2] Honō Moyasu - Honō means Flame while Moyasu means Burn.
