Naruto: Dream To Immortality - Chapter 213

Chapter 213

Title: Tenchi Bridge Battle…

….

-Yami POV-

I smile as I see that Kiba has finally reached his potential. The giant Werewolf Mode is something that none of the Inuzuka Elite Jonin have been able to do yet. If they were able to do that and hold the technique for some time that immediately puts them in the S Class Power.

My son, you have come quite far, at the age of fifteen (soon to be sixteen) you have defeated an S Rank ninja. You are quite ahead of everyone in your age group, but sadly you will be surpassed by Naruto and Sasuke soon. I can’t allow you to grow to their level son, you are my child and I care about you Kiba. But sadly you have a paranoid father like me, so you will never grow at their level. But at least you aren’t a loser yet, so don’t worry son…

….

Eighteen hours later, Naruto and Sakura are in front of me.

“Orochimaru will appear at Tenichi Bridge. We want the chance to… try the Sasuke retrieval Hokage -sama.” Says Naruto with a respectful tone in his voice, he also has a nervous look on his face. Even Sakura seems to be nervous.

I look at them with a serious look on my face. I will let them leave and do that, but I want to make it seem like this is the last time they can pull this bullsh*t. In all honesty, they can do it as much as they want. Currently… the Hokage position is no longer that beneficial to me. I could have the same results if I put someone who has my best interests in their mind, so I am planning to do that soon.

I worked hard for the Hokage position, raising my political power and all that. But the time has come for me to leave this behind, of course I will only do this at a later date. Once the 4th Ninja War is over. That is the best time when I can try and dedicate all of my time in research and a way to true Omnipotence and Omnipresence.

In the end I just say to Sakura and Naruto with a harsh tone. “This is the last time I will allow a capture, the next time you meet him… I need you to go for the kill.”

I see them shudder a little when they hear me say that, but he knows better than to refute me to my face.

“Also you two will have two new teammates, because Kakashi is unavailable due to using the Mangekyo Sharingan against Deidara, and Kiba is in Chakra Exhaustion. Your new teammates will meet you tomorrow, they are Yamato and Sai, two Jonin. One of them can also handle Naruto if he decides to become troublesome if he uses the Nine Tails Chakra.”

Naruto looks down in shame when he hears me say that. He knows that he must get a control over his chakra or else he will only be a bother to everyone of his teammates and hold them down.

….

Tomorrow early morning, Naruto and Sakura are at Konoha’s East Gate. After all, even though Konoha now is a big city with Skywalkers, it’s still surrounded by a wall and a barrier.

“I wonder who our new teammates will be.” Wonders Naruto aloud.

That is when in a shunshin two figures appear. They are both wearing Jonin uniforms, one of them is a pale guy around Naruto’s age, the other seems like a man around his twenties with a slight tan and spiky brown hair. They are Sai and Yamato.

Yamato looks at them and nods with a small smile on his face. “Hello Yamato Inuzuka here. I am your new squad leader. This guy next to me is Sai Inuzuka, another Konoha Jonin.”

Sai smiles and waves at them. “Yo! I heard a lot about you from Kiba.”

Naruto and Sakura smile respectfully too. “Nice to meet you, Yamato, Sai.”

Yamato’s smile brightens at this. “Well, okay now guys, time to go and fight Orochimaru.”

“Don’t worry we will kick his asś and bring Sasuke back to Konoha.” Says Sai, encouraging Naruto. “Though we might have to kick his asś a little too. Hahahaha…”

Naruto smiles at this, to him it seems like Yamato and Sai are both good guys who seemed hopeful at getting Sasuke back.

Yamato then pulls out two pills and gives them each to Sakura and Naruto. “There are some tree seeds that will allow me to track you in case we get separated while looking for Sasuke. Sai has already eaten one like that. Don’t worry this will be digested in 72 hours so I won’t be able to track you forever.”

Naruto and Sakura nod at this. Tomorrow they will possibly fight Orochimaru, they must be prepared in every way and they know that.

….

Ten hours later and they are still travelling at top speeds.

….

Two hours later and they are close enough to the meeting place for tomorrow. They set up camp, as they take turns being the lookout. When it’s Naruto’s turn, Sai wakes up and sits next to Naruto. The latter doesn’t say anything, they just stay in comfortable silence. Until Sai says. “You know… I don’t know how you feel. But I too have a brother. If he did something like Sasuke did, I too would be willing to do anything to get him back.”

He then nudges Naruto’s shoulder and says again. “So don’t worry, we will do everything within our powers to get Sasuke back.”

Naruto nods at this absentmindedly. “Thanks… Sai.”

Sai just smiles and goes back to sleep again.

….

*fwosh*

That is when Orochimaru appears on the other side of the bridge. He has a smile on his face as he looks at the person in front of him. “Hmmm… so Yami isn’t here personally is he?”

Immediately Yamato understood that he had already been found out. Immediately Naruto, Sakura and Sai appear next to him.

Orochimaru’s smirk widens even more when he sees this. “Did Yami send you guys to your death or something like this. I mean he is smart enough to know that you can’t defeat me in any way. Or maybe he will use Hiraishin to teleport here?”

Yamato looks a little nervous at this on the inside. Though he is an S Rank Ninja in his own right. Even he isn’t sure if he can win against someone tricky like Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looks at Naruto who has started leaking a little red chakra.

“Hmmm… I wonder who is stronger? You or Sasuke.” Says Orochimaru as he mocks Naruto. The latter immediately roars out loud.

*ROOOOAR*

With that simple roar, he blows Orochimaru away. Yamato gives Naruto a side glance and contemplates. ‘If I let him weaken Orochimaru…  then I can use my wood style to easily suppress him, my wood style being a direct counter against him. But Orochimaru has no way to deal with Naruto…’

When Naruto sees this he immediately goes into the three tails state. Chasing after Orochimaru and clawing at his face.

*BOOOM*

Orochimaru is slapped away through the forest. His body rummaging through trees. Naruto immediately goes to chase after him, breaking the bridge they were standing on at the same time.

Yamato sees that they are about to fall so he grabs both Sai and Sakura while he lumos away.

Sakura has a mortified look on her face.

While Sai looks a little nervous at this, he glances at Yamato and says. “Will we even be able to handle Naruto?”

Yamato nods confidently at this. “Don’t worry, as long as he doesn’t go at the six tails form, I can safely purge the nine tails chakra out of him.”

Sai nods at this. “Then I will go to the hideout and look for Sasuke.”

Sakura seems confused at this. “What?”

“We know of one of Orochimaru’s hidden close by. If he is here it means that there is a high chance Sasuke is there too.” Answers Yamato.

Sakura looks amazed at this. “Sai, let me come with you.”

Sai shakes his head at this. “I am specialized in stealth and you are not. I can go in stealthily and find Sasuke safely. Sorry Sakura but I will have to go alone, it’s safer this way.”

Sai says that and pulls out a scroll, drawing a bird on it. The bird comes to life and Sai climbs up on his back flying away.

Sakura just looks at this, her eyes filled with sadness. Yamato brings her out of her daydreaming by saying. “Sakura, let’s go, we need to help Naruto against Orochimaru.”
