Chapter 350 - Extra 9: The Trouble Arrives 1 (1/2)

It had been two weeks since Kurama and Yugao had done it during the party, and at this point, he along with the Uzumaki clan had returned to Uzu, though to the red-haired man's terror, things were about to change because a carriage adorned with gold was heading towards Konoha.

"How long until we reach the land where my beloved dark flame warrior lived his childhood?" - A pretty girl of about 16 asked. She was wearing a white with red priestess outfit along with a small golden crown over her silky hair.

Her body was well-developed for her age and if any of the members of Konoha were to see her, one person would come to mind, the princess of the Hyuga clan, Hinata, because the priestess looked just like her, only blonde and with light lilac eyes.

"We will arrive in Konoha in a few hours, Shion-sama" - replied one of her attendant ladies as she watched the blonde girl carefully, after all, she was none other than the Priestess of Oni no Kuni, as well as the military leader even though she was a peaceful girl who loved to read hundreds of fantasy novels.

"Just the thought of your presence makes the wait during all these centuries of loneliness worthwhile" - said Shion with a look of in dream as she remembered her beloved warrior - "I already want to see you again, my beloved, and this time nothing will separate us, not even the past that has tormented us so much ~"

". . ." - the woman accompanying Shio only shook her head because her leader had again entered one of her crazy fantasies - "Although it's a relief that you chose Kurama-sama."

"I didn't choose him, it's the fate that brought us back together in this life" - Shio replied as a melodramatic aura surrounded her.

"This will be complicated..." - muttered the woman as she decided to leave her leader to her fantasies, after all, she wasn't a bad ruler despite her quirks she was a revolutionary with her strange methods, that's why she hadn't been overthrown from power yet.

Kurama and Yugao were talking about their lives while laughing at Jiraiya's misfortunes when an Anbu from Uzu appeared on the scene.

"What's wrong?" - Kurama asked with a frown as he had said he wanted to have the whole day off so he could talk with Yugao, the newest member of the Uzumaki clan after everything unfolded so strangely.

"A message came from Konoha..." - The Anbu replied awkwardly because he could tell how his leader was not happy.

"I made it quite clear that I don't like to be interrupted when I'm with my family..." - Kurama replied with annoyance.

"I know, sir, but it's a message that seems urgent" - replied the Anbu as his back started to sweat.

"Kurama, please don't be angry with the Anbu, he's doing his job" - said Yugao, who sided with her colleague, after all, she knew how troublesome Anbu's life was.

"Ok, give me the damn scroll" - muttered Kurama, only to raise an eyebrow when he saw that it was a voice-sealed scroll, in other words, a scroll that kept the user's voice to deliver a much clearer message - "Ok, I guess it is important..."

Kurama slowly opened the scroll, only to cover his ears when he heard Kakashi's shout.

"You have to come to Konoha, now! I don't think I can resist the words of that crazy girl any longer!"

". . ." - the people present were silent when they heard this because they didn't understand why at least it was like that until they heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Are you okay, Kakashi-dono?"

"Oh, shit..." - Kurama muttered with a pale face.

"Do you know her?"- Yugao asked as he raised an eyebrow in surprise at the albino's expression.

"I know her..." - Kurama replied as he sighed regretfully - "I'd better settle this right away before Kakashi loses his mind... I'm sorry our little evening ended so abruptly, Yugao."

"No, we can always do it again" - Yugao replied with a smile - "Now go, I'm sure Kakashi has to be about to explode because of his so desperate voice."

Kurama nodded and kissed her before leaving the place in a white flash.

"I could get used to this..." - Yugao said as she licked her lips.

"And then he saved me from the clutches of a great silver dragon with its dark flames" - Shio said with a smile as she continued to relate her story, not noticing the Hokage's horrified expression - "Really?"

The poor Godaime Hokage had been listening to the words of the daimyo of Oni no Kuni for hours and felt like he was about to lose his sanity after so many nonsense stories, but his expression changed to one of happiness when he saw a white flash in his office - "Finally!"

"Sorry for the delay" - Kurama said while ignoring the Hokage's words - "A black cat got in my way while I was coming and I had to take a long way around."

Kakashi's eyebrow convulsed slightly as he resisted the urge to yell at the albino - "Anyway, now that you're here, I guess it's time Shion-sama can talk to you."

"Didn't you two have an alliance to negotiate?" - Kurama asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Trust me, whatever she asks for, I'll give her..." - Kakashi replied wearily - "Now I'm not going to steal any more of your time, you are dismissed."

Kurama was about to say something else, but before he could, he was dragged out of the place.

"I see you had a hard time..." - Tina said as she looked at her boyfriend.

"She's just like Hinata..." - Kakashi replied as his face impacted against his desk - "A very crazy blonde Hinata..."

"I know, I was also surprised to see how similar she was with the young Hyuga girl..." replied Tina as she started to think - "It's something similar to what happened with Tsunami-san and Mikoto-sama."

"True, it's something quite similar" - Kakashi replied as he frowned at all the paperwork he had to do - "I think I hate Hiruzen-sama..."

"You can always make Sasuke-dono become your assistant with the excuse of preparing him to take the position" - Tina said calmly.

"You're a genius!" - Kakashi exclaimed excitedly as he prepared to ask one of his Anbu to send for his student, only to see how one of his shinobi entered his office - "What do you need?"

"Kakashi-sama, Sasuke-sama told me to deliver this to you" - the shinobi said as he handed a scroll to his leader, then retreated.

"I have a bad feeling about this" - muttered Kakashi as he took the message and opened it.

[Dear Kakashi sensei, I am writing this letter to inform you that we will be absent for an indefinite time due to family matters. After the war, I have decided to take a little break together with Sakura-chan and our daughter, possibly we will travel around the Elemental Nations as Kurama did for a few months. We may settle in some remote village for a few years to have some peace without anyone bothering us.

With that said, cordial farewells from your student, Uchiha Sasuke along with his family.

PS: My vacation has nothing to do with the gut instinct that screamed at me to get out of Konoha as soon as possible because someone would force me to help him with his paperwork]

"SASUKE!" - Kakashi roared as the doc.u.ments were scattered on the floor - "SHIT!"

"Oh" - Tina just shook her head, but her expression changed when she saw how her boyfriend fell on his desk with foam pooling in his mouth - "Shit! Doctors!"

Today had been a difficult day for the poor Godaime Hokage of Konoha.

* * * * *

"Do you think it was a good idea to leave Konoha so abruptly, Sasuke-kun?" - Sakura asked as she carried her pretty princess in her arms.

"Trust me, I'm sure" - Sasuke replied calmly.

"SASUKE!" - Kakashi's shout was heard in the distance.

The three Uchiha looked in the direction towards Konoha, only to glance at each other.

"And that confirms it" - Sasuke said proudly.

"I think you'll be in trouble when we get back" - sighed Sakura as she shook her head - "Kakashi sensei sounded furious."

"Relax, it's quite likely that when we get back, he will have forgotten all about it" - replied Sasuke calmly as he played with his little girl's nose, not knowing that when they got back, Kakashi would remember what happened because that one would say was one that would mark him forever during his job as Hokage.

"I guess you're right, I mean, Kakashi sensei has never been one to hold a grudge" - Sakura nodded as she started to think, not knowing that her instructor would indeed hold a grudge for her husband's actions - "Anyway, where shall we go first?"

"How about we go to Yu no Kuni first?" - Sasuke asked with a smile - "The hot springs will help us relax, not to mention Kurama owes me a favor for the last time and reserved the Resort for us alone."

"That's too much..." - Sakura muttered as she shook her head at such a waste of money by the Uzumaki clan, though at the same time she was grateful, at least now she could spend some time with her beloved.
