“Naruto, you tried, let’s go home.”
Kakashi’s words made Naruto blink, he felt cold. Not from the snow, it was something inside that came from hearing the Raikage‘s words. Men like him… they didn’t understand.
No, it was more like they didn’t want to understand. People like the Raikage sat away from the pain of the world and let other people suffer for their actions. Then they just leaned back as hundreds and thousands died, going ‘that’s just the way things are’.
“Okay,” Naruto said.
“Heh, stupid punk,” a slightly unfamiliar voice said, it was one of the Cloud ninja, but Naruto couldn’t put a name or face to it, “I told you that-”
“SHUT UP!”
Everyone stepped back as Naruto leaped up like a frog to slam his fist into the Cloud ninja’s jaw with an uppercut and sent him flying. “If strength is the only thing your boss will listen to, then I’ll beat him within an inch of his life, and MAKE HIM LISTEN!” he shouted before making his Shadow Clone hand-sign and creating several hundred duplicates.
Kakashi groaned. He really should have seen this coming.
“Find the real one!” Yamato shouted. “Stop him!
“Kill him!” the highest ranking Cloud ninja yelled.
The hundred plus clones suddenly turned and ran, with all the ninjas going every which way to try and take down whatever they could get their hands on. Kakashi searched left and right with his Sharingan to look for the real one.
A little bit later a several meters away, a small orange fox poked his head out of the snow and watched all the ninja head off in every direction… except the one he was going. “Hehehehe, suckers,” Naruto mumbled before heading off towards Wolf Mountain.
With all the ninja held up either chasing or fighting shadow clones, Naruto easily made his way towards the meeting. A few samurai heard the commotion and went running to check it out, but they didn’t notice the small animal when he hid in the nook of a tree or under snow piles.
Meanwhile, inside the meeting room…
“I now call this meeting of the Five Kages to order,” the host said.
“Okay, let’s start killing people,” Zetsu whispered before he looked over to Sasuke to see the Mangekyo activate. In his position, he could see everyone take out the heads of the ninja world in one fell swoop with a single jutsu, and bring the shinobi world to its knees.
Danzo cleared his throat and stood up.
Sasuke closed one of his eyes.
“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!” an annoyingly familiar voice to most of the people in the chamber echoed throughout the room right as an orange blur to jump right on top of the center of the table.
…
Everyone in the room was silent for a moment.
You got to be kidding me Sasuke thought to himself with a deadpan expression.
“Oh geeze,” Gaara mumbled.
Danzou frowned at the fool on the table, not knowing whether to kill Naruto or thank him. If he was going to prove himself to be unreliable enough out in the world, then he could be locked up back in the village.
Oonoki nodded to one of his bodyguards, and the Rock ninja disappeared from sight.
“You dare interfere with our meeting!” Raikage shouted.
The Mizukage just blinked. “Ummm… what’s going on?”
“You think you can just walk away from me while looking down through your nose you self-righteous piece of crap!” Naruto shouted as he pointed to the Raikage. “If if it’s strength you respect then bring it on! After I break all your bones and your trembling from my strength, then I’ll shout in your ear till I turn blue and make you listen!”
At her place behind Gaara, Temari let her head fall into her hands and shook her head. “You gotta be kidding me.”
Above all of the ninja, Sasuke groaned and reached for his sword.
“What are you doing?” Zetsu demanded in hushed tones.
Sasuke could only let out a sigh as he pointed his blade downward and waited till the ninja was in position. “You’ll thank me in a second.”
The dark-skinned man raised eyebrow. “Are you still going on about that you little snot? Sasuke Uchiha is-right above you!”
“Like I’m gonna fall for that!” Naruto shouted as the Raikage pointed to something above Naruto’s head right before head hard someone hand right behind him, and the sound of metal clanging onto the table.
For a moment, time seemed to stop as Naruto looked over to the ninja who‘d just landed behind him. “… Sasuke.”
The other ninja glared on ahead towards the man with the bandages.
The Rock ninja who’d been using his camouflage justu to sneak up on Naruto with a kunai in his hand meant for the blonde’s back, suddenly turned visible and dropped to the ground with a punctured lung.
And then years of training, experience, and adrenaline suddenly kicked in, and it was, how you say… on.
