Naruto: Dream To Immortality - Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Title: Demon Brothers…

….

As Naruto and the rest of team seven, together with the bridge builder go  outside of the village. They are all just walking at normal speed, with no one talking about anything. Well at least that is until Naruto couldn’t help it anymore and asked. “Hey Tazuna, how is it in the Land of Waves anyway.”

Tazuna just takes a flask from his jacket and takes a sip. “Well it is different from Konoha, that is for sure.”

“Woah! Really? Then why didn’t your ninja come and escort you too?” Curiously asks Naruto.

At this time, the bridge builder doesn’t need to say anything as Sakura intervenes by saying. “Actually the Land of Waves doesn’t have neither a ninja village or a Kage. It’s natural sea defense has made the Land of Waves not need them.”

This time even Kakashi has a little to input. “Yes, you are right Sakura, but due to those natural defenses, they sometimes become a double edged sword. For example, there is not a lot of trade going in that place, after all most sh.i.p.s will wreck themselves and there is not any tourism due to the same reason.”

As they make some more small talk, Naruto asks again. “So you don’t have a leader, like a Kage.”

“The leader of a Land isn’t the Hokage, Naruto.” Says Kakshi.

But Naruto is confused by this. “But doesn’t uncle Yami lead the Land of Fire.”

Kakashi simply answers. “No, the Daimyo leads the Land of Fire.”

But even as he says that, Kakashi can’t help but think inside his head. ‘At least on the surface. Every jonin worth it’s rank knows who really rules the Land of Fire behind the scenes. Yami does, it’s almost common knowledge.’

Sasuke when he hears Naruto ask these questions he looks at him with a calm mocking gaze.

“Didn’t you pay attention in the Academy Naruto?… this is some basic stuff that any six year old knows.” Says Sasuke as he looks at Naruto.

“Hey! Don’t look at me with those annoying eyes Teme!” Says Naruto as he points toward Sasuke. Who just turns his head the other way, completely ignoring Naruto.

But in the end everyone is looking at Naruto, even Kakashi wonders how Naruto passed the Academy like this.

‘I guess having someone like Naruto with such monstrous chakra reserves get stuck another year would be such a waste of potential… or maybe Iruka really was being biased when he let Naruto pass. Well I guess this is more work for me then. Teaching him some basic stuff.’ As Kakashi contemplates that he sees a puddle of water at the side of the road. ‘Amateurs, on a clear day like this, they make a puddle of water as their hiding spot. They are definitely from the hidden mist, most likely Chunin, but with their intelligence I bet that a Genin could beat them.’

Still he doesn’t do anything and just keeps reading his book as they pass the puddle. Suddenly out of the puddle the Demon Brothers come out and spiked chains come out of their giant gauntlets, surrounding Kakashi.

Who acts like a little panicked, but he is already out of there and is substituted towards a tree.

Kakashi looks at the ‘battle’ going on below and seeing that their target is the Bridge Builder. He can’t help but sigh a little, the Hokage signaled him to expect the mission to be above C Rank and that the Bridge Builder is lying about the mission.

As Kakshi sees that the battle is in its climax…

*fwosh*

He appears behind the brothers and…

*baam*

Holds them in place by a chokehold. Completely immobilizing them.

Kakashi just looks at his students with an eye smile while casually saying. “Yo!”

….

A little while later, he has gotten all of the information he needs and tied the Demon Brothers to a tree. Now this is just a show to his students, but in actuality he already killed them. Konoha wouldn’t waste their time on useless prisoners like them and Kakashi knows that he should just kill them. But he did summon his dog and sent it towards Konoha with a message.

He then looks towards the bridge builder and says. “Well now… wasn’t that interesting, it seems like Tazuna… you are the target. Could you explain that to me?”

Though Kakashi said that like a question, the look on his eye made it clear that Tazuna should talk or else…

So Tazuna immediately spilled the beans, about Gato, the Land of Waves and all that.

“Who is Gato?” Asks Naruto, perplexed by this. And this time it wasn’t a dumb question either, due to both Sakura and Sauke not knowing about it.

Kakashi just sighs at this. “Well… Gato is the 2nd Ric.h.e.s.t man in the world. With a shipping empire that is… moderately successful. But he is mostly overlooked due to the Ric.h.e.s.t man in the world taking all of the spotlight.”

“Who is the ric.h.e.s.t man in the world? We never learned about that in the Academy.” Asks Sakura, but Tazuna is the one to answer by saying.

“Well that title would belong to your Hokage, Yami Inuzuka, he has been considered the ric.h.e.s.t man in the world for almost two decades now. Earning the title at the age of twenty.”

The Genins are surprised at this. But Kakashi adds some input by saying. “Yep, that is the truth. Yami Inuzuka was already Konoha’s Hero and showed excellence before he even became Hokage. He didn’t get famous by becoming Hokage, he became Hokage because he was famous and loved amongst the people.”

Naruto seems gobsmacked by that. “I have to be like that to become Hokage!!”

Kakashi just nods at this. “Uhuh, you need to be at his level at least. He is considered the best Hokage since the founding of Konoha. It can be said that Konoha is the greatest Hidden Village because of the 5th Hokage.”

Naruto clenched his hand forming it into a fist, while resolutely saying. “I will be the best Hokage, surpassing even Yami!”

Kakashi  sees this and his eyes widened. “Uhhh… Naruto, if you clench your fist like that the poison might spread faster.”

Immediately Naruto is panicked. “What!??! Noooo I am gonna die.”

….

On the other hand in Konoha, Yami was in his office. With Yoruichi in her Jonin uniform in front of him.

“I need you to go and assist Kakashi.” Orders Yami.

Yoruichi nods at this. “Of course father. Do I need to follow any procedures or anything like that.”

Yami nods. “Don’t interfere unless one of them is dying or close to death. Also you can freely interfere if Naruto starts using the nine tails chakra.”

Yoruichi nods at this and…

*fwosh*

‘Gato huh… the only reason he even is alive is because he has this role to play. After that, I am killing all of his men and taking over his meager business.’ Thinks Yami, completely relaxed at this. He has taken counter measures for everything. So everything will go according to his plan.
