P.2 Kage Meeting
- Naruto and Shikamaru are walking in the Academy building heading to a meeting room. Naruto: "So, why bring me here?".
Shikamaru: "I'm just doing what I was told to do and that's to bring you to the meeting".
Temari is waiting at the door for them.
- In the meeting room the 5 Kage are all there.
With Gaara is Kankurō and Ebizō who is in a wheelchair due to his age.
With A is Killer B, Darui, Omoi and Karui.
With Mei is Chōjūrō and two unnamed ninjas.
With Ōnoki is Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi and Akatsuchi.
With Kakashi is Tsunade.
- Shikamaru and Naruto go and stand behind Kakashi as Temari stands with Kankurō, Kankurō looks at her confused, she sighs.
- Ōnoki starts: "Now, why the emergency call?".
A: "We rushed over with how urgent you said it was".
Tsunade stands in front of everyone: "Ōnoki, can you please explain why is Nihirizumu still alive?".
With just this most of the people present start gasping or speaking their mind out loud or to each other. Naruto is confused not understanding why everyone is panicking exactly.
Kitsuchi: "Wait, brother Nihirizumu is still alive, is this true?".
Tsunade: "This is true, he got into the village without raising any alarm, I saw him with my own eyes as well as many other ninjas that include Temari and Karui here".
Ōnoki sighs and raises his hand making everyone quiet down: "It's true, I let my teachers only descendant live. I couldn't bring myself to kill him, so I sent him away to slowly pass away outside everyone's eyes while telling everyone he had died".
A: "Old man, he was a major threat to all villages. You should have been thinking with your brain not your heart".
Mei: "I can assume the disaster at the prison was him escaping then, looks like the hole you put him in to die wasn't deep enough. How could you let such a person who betrayed your village to live?".
Tsunade: "About that, Sunaarashi was also there and escaped".
Gaara and Mei stand up from their seats.
Mei: "What!".
Kankurō looks at Temari shocked, she puts on a concerned smile.
Ebizō: "I see now why you requested I also come here".
Ōnoki "looks like I'm not the only one".
Kakashi: "Diseased Memory was also there".
- A stand up about to swing his arm down but stops himself and places his hand softly on the table.
A: "So let me get this straight, every village let the reason the Third Ninja War happened, live? Those three should be dead like every village reported, don't even get me started with what happened making that war happen. Multiple villages destroyed, one more major then the others. My own father prevented an army entering Kumogakure to search for them there, he was making sure another Uzushiogakure incident didn't happen. We entered that stupid war because none of you took accountability for that invasion".
- Ōnoki sighs: "Well since the truth is being revealed I have something to bring to light. Your father didn't die by a large group of ten thousand ninja. I requested a joint operation to capture and kill Nirihizumu".
- A now crushes the part of table with his hand.
A: "Watch what you say right now".
Ōnoki: "I believed the Third Raikage could be the only person to be able to fight Nihirizumu and win, the fight was more one sided then I could have ever thought. I, Roshi and Han even joined in, and then we only just won. Your father gave his life to stop him and let us all survive, he gave me the opportunity to kill him, and I couldn't do it. He died dealing the final blow. I was the last person conscious by the end. He brought two ninja with him, they made up the story about how he died once they left, I had nothing to do with that rumor. I am sorry, if I had known it would have been like this, I would done something. Your father did so much, I respect the man for what he did for me".
- A: "This meeting is over".
Tsunade: "We have more to talk about".
A: "Look at this room, the Mizukage and Kazekage are in shock. I'm furious, to a point I don't think you understand. You're worried, almost scared in my option. The old man, he might need to be careful. We are leaving".
Everyone from Kumogakure walks behind A.
Naruto calls out to Killer B who just looks to Naruto and leaves.
- Naruto is at his house sitting on the couch with his thinking face on, Hinata comes up.
Hinata: "You still thinking about it?".
Naruto: "Everyone was so angry in the meeting earlier, there was a lot of yelling and confusion. I don't understand why they cant just be calm and listen. Why are these three people such a threat to make this much anger. Well, one I know now".
Hinata: "You never did pay attention in class when we were younger. We learnt in history classes that the Third Ninja War started because of three people revealing village secrets". Naruto pretends to understand and nods as she talks.
Hinata: "It was the Konoha Military Police Force who found this out first and put all the villages on high alert trying to find them, then in just a few months 3 Kage's were dead or missing, Uzushiogakure was destroyed along with a few other small villages. Also just outside the village was even attacked".
Naruto: "You were always better in class then me".
Hinata: "You know the place, it's the Forest of Death where we had the Chūnin Exams all those years ago".
Naruto understanding that part nods his head.
Hinata: "Also, you haven't said anything about it, do you want to talk about it?".
Naruto: "What do you mean".
Hinata: "That man, he called you Naruto Namikaze and even asked if our children are Namikaze. That man more than likely knew your father".
Naruto: "He was the 4th Hokage, everyone knows him".
Hinata: "Naruto, from what you said the three got locked up at the start of the third war, so your dad was not Hokage yet".
Naruto stops thinking for a second, the then sits up coming to a realization.
Naruto: "I think I know what I'm going ask tomorrow when the meeting continues, well, if it continues".
- In the dark of the night Naruto is standing looking out a window at the face of this father on the Hokage Rock.
Kurama: "We have a visitor".
Naruto in his mind turns around to Kurama behind him, Gyūki starts raising from the ground. With Naruto being a meeting place for the tailed beasts he can be visited by any of them. Naruto: "How are you and everyone else?".
Gyūki: "It's a bit awkward as the Tsuchikage is having a private meeting with the Raikage and B, so I have wondered off while they talk".
Naruto: "It must be serious".
Kurama: "You know what it's like to fight the 3rd Raikage, how does the idea of a person who can beat him as well as the hosts of Son Gokū and Kokuō at the same time sound?".
Gyūki: "Honestly that sounds impossible".
Naruto: "Why don't we ask them. Hey Son Gokū, Kokuō, where are you, I have a question!?".
No reaction, just silence.
Kurama: "You can't call them, they just have to show up".
Naruto looks defeated.
- The next day, everyone who was in the meeting the day prior is currently in the room. There is unease is in the air.
Tsunade: "I believe this is as ready as we will get.
- Ōnoki puts his arm up.
Ōnoki: "Before we start anything I would make an announcement. This will be my final act as Tsuchikage, stopping Nihirizumu".
This makes commotion in the room but he continues.
Ōnoki: "I plans on nominating my granddaughter the 4th Tsuchikage".
Some more commotion. Kitsuchi with a smile on his face looks at Kurotsuchi, she is shocked.
- Tsunade: "Ōnoki, would you like to start up this meeting?".
Ōnoki: "Being my retirement mission I shall start if off. But left me reveal one more thing, I nearly considered asking to release him to fight for us in the Fourth War, I don't know what would of happened if I did. Also so I don't know what I would of thought at the time if I had seen the other two also locked up".
- Ōnoki begins the briefing: "Nihirizumu, age 47, known as 'The Natural Disaster', grandson of the 2nd Tsuchikage Mu, user of the kekkei tōta variant Earthquake release a mixture of nature's earth, lightning and wind, also a water and yang user. Member of the Explosion Corps, though that was before they became more known during the war. He was nominated and approved to be the 4th Tsuchikage behind the scenes, nothing announced. Then it was discovered what he did so it was never announced. An inauguration that was planned when he was older but that scrapped. He fights much like Lord Mu, so Kazekage you would be the best way to catch him much like what you did with Lord Mu. Dust release is for absolute destruction of a selected area, Earthquake release is used for major destruction in a massive area. That doesn't mean it can't be use in small quarters. His main form of fighting is close range. He may be better than Lord Mu at sensory perception but his abilities of going invisible is not as good, he must be out of everyone's vision to vanish so as long as one person is looking at him, he can't vanish. That's the gist of him, feel free to ask questions".
- Some questions are asked, answers are giving with more details are noted.
Nihirizumu was a noticeably quiet child and that goes into his fighting style, more of an assassin type but also not afraid to be showy and will use teammates as distractions very often. Also floats a lot in fights.
A leader type due to how he was raised, he's particularly good at working out battle tactics and will stand back and watch.
Shown anger when the other two were threatened but nothing else seemed to faze him.
Speed is the best way to fight him as the Third Raikage was pushing him back for a lot of the fight but even then, hitting him was a different story.
Used the Silent Killing technique and Hiding in Mist technique when fighting, mixed with his ability to go invisible made it extremely hard to read him. 6th gate of the 8 Gates got used.
- Gaara: "Shall we talk about The Anomaly now?".
Mei sighs: "Sunaarashi, my older half-brother. Born between Sunagakure and Kirigakure for political reasons, nephew to the 3rd Mizukage and 3rd Kazekage. The marriage didn't last long but a reason for a loose peace was given. Much like me he got two Kekkei Genkai but his are extremely compatible, having Mercury Release an exceedingly rare Kekkei Genkai thought to be missing well before the formation of the villages, and Magnet Release a Kekkei Genkai known from the Kazekage lineage. His potential was huge at an early age, and he was greatly favoured by both villages, we taught him Kenjutsu and many assassination abilities that he picked up quickly. He looked up to Lord Second Mizukage and can even summon clams. He also picked up sensory perception at some point and shown to be one of the best we ever raised".
Gaara adds: "He was my father's cousin and rival, but this rivalry was quite the hostile one. Even long after Sunaarashi's apparent death my father held extreme anger for him made my father try to get someone stronger than him. There is a chance the reason the Shukaku was sealed into me was an attempt to show that my father could have something stronger than him. He would constantly under his breath saying things about a person who at the time I had never heard or known about. Ebizō, I believe you know more than me on this".
Ebizō who was sitting close has all the attention on him.
Ebizō: "When it was discovered his potential Sunagakure tried to win over Sunaarashis favor by teaching him everything he wanted, like puppetry and medical ninjutsu. He trained his Magnet Release with Rasa and the Third Kazekage, becoming one of the best users the village had ever seen. He is an expert in both close and long range fighting and can use all common nature elements as well as yin release. His chakra reserves are one of the largest if not the largest Sunagakure had ever had and his control over it was the best the village had seen".
Mei: "His chakra reserves could rival or possible surpass that of Kisame's".
Kakashi: "All you seem to be doing is flaunting how strong he is. Can we get information how to stop him?".
Ebizō: "The reason we are not telling you is because not even we don't really know, only have theories. This is to more so you do not underestimate him".
This remark heats up the room with accusations of hiding information.
Mei: "We are not trying to hid anything. You see the 3rd Mizukage and the 3rd Kazekage worked together using four of the tailed beasts to take him down".
Ebizō joins in: "The 3rd Kazekage lived and returned with the Shukaku sealed in a tea kettle as the jinchūriki passed away, but we also had lost the Seven-Tails in this fight".
Naruto and Killer B react to this by shifting their weight.
Gaara: "The 3rd Kazekage went missing a day or two later, but it was found out many years later it was Sasori's doing that did that".
Mei: "After that whole battle the 4th Mizukage who was the Three-Tails jinchūriki at the time, he soon got into power and the whole Village of the Bloody Mist became a thing with the possible idea to try and recreate someone as strong as him through brutality".
Gaara: "New Kage got rushed into power because of one man and the war that followed".
Mei: "I do know he has an affinity with water style and that lightning style-based attacks seem oddly weak against him".
- More questions get asked but Mei and Ebizō could only say as much as they knew, and this didn't seem to sit well with the others, but small information did rise.
Sunaarashi had a second moniker aside from 'The Anomaly' and that was '8th swordsman of the mist', due to the village favouring him he got to make his own sword.
The Cross-sword, a giant sword longer than he was tall with four blade edges each pointing in a different direction. A long handle with four pole like handle guard that shot out with the four edges. Was commonly held using the whole arm around the handle with the hand grabbing one of the four guards like a pole arm. The sword is currently locked up and was not on his hand just prior to the war.
It has been proven other Magnet Release users can counter each other but a magnet as strong as him needs more than just a good user.
Mercury Release is his more common way of fighting such as making swords, bullets and shields to aid him in fighting. There is a poison effect on this too but will take some time to kick in.
His personality seemed friendly but off, an incredibly happy looking child but creepily smart.
His fighting style was more hands on in training sessions preferring close range attacks but was very showy. Real combat was not documented.
With no surviving person to see the fight with the Kage a report on the fight was never created, so apart from Floating no other techniques from other villages have ever been seen.
- Kakashi: "I think it's time we talk about Diseased Memory now. Tsunade I must ask why is it that I cannot find much information on him?".
Tsunade: "I thinks the Third must of tried to wipe him from the villages history. Also you know him, you can name him".
Kakashi: "I would of been at most 12 years old at the time, but I don't recall this man in my life".
A: "Why would Hiruzen even try to bury it so much?".
Tsunade: "I think that it might not have been his idea but a request from Minato and Jiraiya".
Naruto perks up to this.
Tsunade: "And he does have a history of keeping things secret from the village, though for a reason. Much like with how Naruto was Minato's son after the Nine-Tails incident. Now there is no documents I could find on him but everything I said and will be saying is only from her memory only, much like how Ebizō is here to talk about Sunaarashi. I'm here just to talk about Gesshoku Uzumaki".
Naruto softly: "what".
Tsunade: "He moved from Uzushio and came to Konoha as a candidate of being the next Nine-Tails jinchūriki but that was given to Kushina Uzumaki".
Inside Naruto Kurama grumbles.
Naruto: "Wait, a man who Jiraiya and my dad tried to help after starting a war, a man who was going to be a jinchūriki and shares my name. Who is he?".
Tsunade looks directly at Naruto, first puzzled but then shocked look comes across her face.
Tsunade: "Oh no, you didn't know, I thought you would of found out with time. It's Gesshoku. He is Kushina's little brother". Naruto taken aback by this is silent, he just walks out with Tsunade yelling out to him.
Ōnoki: "Naruto still has room to grow if he plans on being Hokage in the future but this will help his mind".
The meeting continues.
- Naruto is walking away in his mind he talks to Kurama.
Naruto: "Did you know this?"
Kurama: "I did".
Naruto: " Why has no one me about this, that mum had a little brother?".
Kurama: "Third hid it, not just from you but from everyone. No one connected you to your mother, so no one connected you to him".
Naruto: "Why did you never tell me then?".
Kurama: "Much like how I never told you about your mother and father, at the time I did not care, I just wanted out. But after everything that happened, I still didn't tell you because I also thought he was dead. I saw your mother hit him so hard that it could have killed him because she using my chakra".
Naruto grumbles at this and just keeps walking.
- Hinata is at a local park holding Himawari as Boruto is playing on the playground. Suddenly she feels someone behind her but before she can turn it speaks.
Unknown man: "Hey Hyūga woman, can you do me a favor and call everyone like last time".
