Chapter 69 - Chapter 71

Name:A New Path Author:Vallori
In the middle of the afternoon, two shadows were jumping from root to roof inside the hidden leaf village.

One of them had black hair with eyes that showed a calm and collected mindset.

The other one had blonde hair with eyes wide and filled with nothing but excitement and freedom. This one was also screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Naruto, i can't believe you got me into this.. You said we would pull a small prank, not something like this. Master Dragon will kill us for this." Sasuke said to the boy running beside him.

"Dad? ye, i can handle him don't worry. As soon as i pull out my puppy eyes, he is floored." Naruto yelled loudly and looked behind him at the 3 ninjas chasing them.

"We need to lose them before they call in him. We can't outrun that monster yet." Sasuke said and looked around for a good place to lose their tail.

"Too late!" A voice appeared between the two boys and the figure grabbed a hold of both the boy's collars and stopped them mid-air.

"I blame you, Naruto!" Sasuke said while hanging suspended in the iron grip of the mysterious figure. Naruto turned away from Sasuke's glare and turned towards the person that caught them.

"Uncle Ryu, please... Sasuke convinced me to do it. I am not to blame." Naruto pulled out his puppy eyes and attacked Ryu with it full force.

"Save it, it won't work on me. It's either the Hokage's office or home. Let me remind you that Rize is visiting from the empire." Ryu watched on as Naruto's expression changed from cute and innocent to pure unadulterated fright.

"Take me to prison or the Hokage! Just not home!" Naruto hit Ryu with his best pleading look.

"The Hokage's office it is then." Ryu disappeared in a flash, leaving 3 ninjas behind.

"I can never get over Mr Ryu's speed." One of them said.

"is it that sad that we can't even catch two kids?" Another one said.

"Don't think like that.. Naruto is Lord Dragon's son. And Sasuke is his student. You know no one in that dojo is normal." The third one said and they all sighed at the same time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside the room of the Hokage, Ryu stood with the two boys in his grip. The boys had not even been given the chance to escape so Naruto stood with his head lowered and Sasuke stood glaring at him.

"Naruto, if Master Dragon punishes us after this, just know that it will be your fault." Sasuke said with annoyance.

"Quite! You two walk in front of me." Ryu knocked on the door and Hiruzen's voice rang out from inside moments later.

"Come in!"

They all walked in with the boys in the lead. Inside the room you had Hiruzen sitting behind his desk and leaning back smoking on his pipe. Two desks had been set up beside his own and at them both sat shadow clones of the Hokage and doing paperwork.

"What brings you two here today?" Hiruzen looked at the two boys.

"They gave the principal of the academy a heart attack, Sir." Ryu said and the two boys flinched at the mention of a heart attack and Hiruzen also sat up properly.

"How did that happen? And how is the principal doing?"

"He is recovering well and should be fine in a day or two. These two boys plastered posters of naked woman on every inch of room inside the principals office. This is what led to the heart attack when the principal opened the door."

Ryu said without a whiff of embarrassment while Hiruzen grew red in the face and almost dreamed himself away from reality for a second.

"ahm, I see. I believe the best punishment is to inform Lord Dragon. So do that will you, Mr Ryu."

Hiruzen said and coughed into his hand and in a subtle manner, wrote down something on a piece of paper that he had on the desk.

"I shall go inform him now." Ryu bowed slightly and bent down to whisper something in Naruto's ear.

Ryu's voice froze Naruto's entire body and Sasuke watched on in confusion. He had no idea what Naruto was so afraid of.

"Goodbye for now, Hiruzen."Ryu said and grabbed to two boys by the collar and a portal appeared above them and lowered itself to swallow them up.

Inside the hall of the dojo, Dragon sat and chatted with three people. Well, two of them were talking while the third one was standing behind them like a soldier standing on guard. A man and a woman were sitting opposite Dragon, with another man standing behind them.

"So how changed is he?" Dragon asked pointed to the man standing there still like a soldier.

"Completely changed. He endured a time dimension torture session. Well, two actually. There is nothing of his old self left. He knows only one thing, and that is loyalty to the Empire." The man said and smiled with a smile made from nightmares.

"I will demonstrate." The woman said and stretched out her foot towards the man standing behind them.

"Kiss my feet!" She said in a demanding tone and the man got down immediately with absolutely no emotions on his face.

"Understood, Mistress." He started kissing it and showed no disgust nor any form of happiness. It seemed like he had no emotions left inside him.

"How long did you make the torture sessions?" Dragon turned to the man while the woman enjoyed getting her feet kissed.

"The first one was 150,000 years. The other one was 579,000 years. There is no form of torture in existence that he hasn't been put through. he is nothing but a tool for the empire's use now." The man seemed excited at the thought of torture.

"Great! Since he is one of the best schemers in this world, he will be put in charge of the empire here in the elemental nations. But do keep an eye on him." Dragon looked at the man that was now standing behind the woman again.

"Understood, Your Majesty!" he said with no hesitation.

"I don't know what you have made him, but some people would probably say he deserved it. Good job, Rize and Sebastien." Dragon smiled at the two most evil subordinates he had. Not even Hisoka could reach these two in terms of cruelty.

"Thank you, Lord Dragon. We don't deserve such praise. We are simply here to please." Rize said in a tone almost overtaken with arousal and pleasure.

"You two wanna stay for some tea? Naruto should be back soon." Dragon asked and saw Rize eyes light up in excitement.

"The young lord will be here? How fabulous.." Rize sat back and smiled creepily.

Just as she was dreaming away, a portal opened up in the middle of the room and three people fell out of it. Two of them were clearly inexperienced with teleportation because they fell face-first onto the ground.

"ah, speak of the devil. Welcome back you two." Dragon said to Naruto and Sasuke that had landed on each other and struggled to be the first one to stand.

"Yep! We're back and nothing is wrong!!" Naruto yelled out and gave the room a quick ones over.

"Way to be subtle, moron." Sasuke hit Naruto on the arm, while simultaneously praying that Ryu wouldn't tell Dragon anything.

"Naruto and Sasuke pulled a prank on the principal that caused him to have a heart attack. The Hokage left the punishment to you, Lord Dragon." Ryu said nonchalantly, and Sasuke felt his death date be moved up about 70 years. He felt Dragon's gaze move between him and Naruto.

"Oh perfect. Rize since you are here, you can handle Naruto's punishment." Naruto froze when the words left Dragon's mouth.

"KYA! Young Lord! I missed you soo much!" Rize ran up and gave Naruto a bear hug and delivered a barrage of kisses.

"Please, aunt Rize, let me go." Naruto didn't plead for the kisses to stop. He was begging her to not do what he knew was coming after the kisses.

"Let's go!" Rize said with an ear to ear smile and both her and Naruto were swallowed by a deep purple flame and disappeared from the room.

"Come Sasuke, i have a task for you to do as punishment. Follow me." Dragon gave a nod to Sebastien before walking towards the front door with Sasuke following behind him.
