Just when Konan is troubled and helplessly linked to Hiruko, in another unit at the headquarters of the Akatsuki Organization, Jozetsu, a, who had just returned to headquarters after his meeting with Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Itachi near Konoha Village reported the conditions put forward by the two of them.
“It seems I underestimated the two of them.” muttered the masked man after listening to Jozetsu's narrative, however his expression behind the mask clearly showed that he was not so surprised by the sudden condition brought on by Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Itachi.
White Zetsu at the side asked, “What are you going to do? Will you agree to their terms?
After crossing both his hands in front of his chest, the masked man thought about it for a moment, then said, "Because Uchiha Itachi claims to have gathered some useful information, he said, then we can return his sister to get that information.and since we will return Itachi's younger brother, then it's okay to return Hyuga Kuroto's disciple as well, he will not calm down when gathering intelligence.”.
It is a known fact that both Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji were both defeated by the Akatsuki Organization, so, so, what Akatsuki has to do is keep them together as hostages or release them together, otherwise it is impossible to convince the two Uchiha. Itachi and Hyuga Kuroto at the same time ...
Zetsu asked again, "Are you sure you want to let go of the two of them?"
The masked man nodded, “Let them go together.. These two children are useless to us.. They are too young to do anything for us.”.
Clearly, the masked man did not list the two children as talented as they were, even according to him, they were worthless to carry, and making them feel credible to work with and for the Akatsuki Organization, then that is more than enough…
In addition, there is also the fact that the deal with Orochimaru failed, because the crafty snake did not take the bait…
In fact, it is quite strange not to find Orochimaru in one of its headquarters.The Left Army of the Akatsuki Organization spent a lot of effort to attack all of Orochimaru's headquarters, but no matter how much effort they put in, they remained unable to find Orochimaru…
Although this was quite confusing, however, the deal with Orochimaru could not be done once confirmed, the hostages could not be exchanged and thus obtaining the Jinchuriki Kyuubi could not be done for some time… so there is no point in holding these children here. Thus, it is better to let them return to their homes.
White Zetsu nodded, “Alright..” then asked, “Do you want me to plant something in their bodies? By using the implant we will be able to control both boys whenever we want.”.
The masked man thought about it, then shook his head, “We can but it is useless.. Once saved, both of them will be thoroughly examined, so whatever we plant in them will not go unnoticed… so just leave it as it is..”.
“If it's a problem, then I will make the necessary arrangements.” After speaking so, Zetsu and Jozetsu sink into the ground and leave the headquarters of the Akatsuki Organization…
…
Orochimaru Base.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Kabuto respectfully greeted Orochimaru who had just returned from Konoha, "Orochimaru-sama welcome back..."
Orochimaru nodded lightly, then while walking inside the headquarters, he asked in a relaxed tone, "Did something happen while I was away?"
After wiping off the sweat on his forehead, Kabuto thought how to answer him, and then said, “A few days after you left, the Left forces of Akatsuki were somehow able to locate this base and launch a surprise attack here, I had no choice but to take the two children with me and hide in Ryuchi.” Cave
As soon as he heard that Kabuto brought the two of them into Ryuchi cave, Orochimaru suddenly stopped and while staring at Kabuto, he asked again, “Did I hear correctly? You went to Ryuchi Cave, and brought the two children together?”
Under Orochimaru's sharp gaze, Kabuto lowered his head, then nodded in an aggressive tone, "Yes...Orochimaru-sama!"
"Interesting.." Orochimaru focused his attention and shifted his gaze, then while continuing to walk inside, he asked, "So, what are the three of you doing in Ryuchi Cave?"
Kabuto follows behind Orochimaru as he recounts his experience visiting Ryuchi cave from beginning to end, because he did not know the exact details of Naruto's Senjutsu training under Ishikishima's hime guidance so he could only say that Naruto allegedly had studied Senjutsu, not how he learned it, or the process to be exact.
Orochimaru was surprised to hear that Naruto felt he had studied Senjutsu, and highlighted with a serious expression, "If this is true, and if Naruto really studied Senjustu and understood it at such a young age, then his skills and abilities should be evaluated again…"
Out of curiosity, Orochimaru decided to first examine Naruto's situation, and his overall development, and thus, he along with Kabuto came to the area where Naruto practiced…
From a distance, Orochimaru could see Naruto sitting in a lotus position on the ground, and scratching his head while muttering in confusion, “How is it possible? Why not work? Obviously, I can do it every time I am there!”
Kabuto looked and Orochimaru said with a helpless expression, "This is Orochimaru-sama's situation.although, they said that he had mastered Senjutsu, when I asked Naruto to show it to me, he can't use it... So, I'm not sure…"
Such a situation gave Kabuto an entirely new understanding of Naruto's 'unreliable' nature, and Kabuto even developed an 'unreliable' impression of Ichikishima hime, wondering if he really taught Naruto or not ...
The more experienced Orochimaru of Kabuto did not judge that Naruto was unable to enter Sennin Mode, instead, he took a step forward and carefully observed Naruto's state while Naruto sat still… Orochimaru also asked a few questions from Naruto, and after finishing this set of steps, Orochimaru nodded with a smile.. “So, that's the reason.
Kabuto with furrowed brows also observed Naruto's state, but unlike Orochimaru, he was unable to judge anything, and because of that, he asked Orochimaru, "Orochimaru-sama, have you found the core of the problem?"
Orochimaru looked around and explained, “The basis of Senjutsu, The Art of the Hermit, and the Mode of Sennin is the Natural Energy that exists in heaven and earth, and also talking to birds and animals whose bodies are able to absorb Natural Energy .. So, communicating with Natural Energy, being able to sense it and absorb it are the basics of the Hermit Art, thus, communicating with the Natural Energy, which Naruto-kun has learned… The main reason why Naruto-kun was unable to touch the Sennin Mode here but could enter it in the Ryuchi Cave was that the density and concentration of the Natural Energy present here was not exceeded compared to the three Sage regions unexplored ones…
Of course, with enough practice, he should be able to enter Sennin Mode even here without much difficulty, but it would require a lot of time and effort… especially when the Kyuubi sealed inside her pulled her down.”
After hearing Orochimaru's reasoning, and understanding the crux of the problem, Kabuto realized his answer.... And realizing it, Kabuto could only attack, “So, means Naruto has indeed learned the Art of the Hermit?”.
Orochimaru nodded with a serious expression, and said in a deep tone of voice, “Ya, I didn't expect this little guy who wasn't even able to learn basic Jutsu Clones to be able to successfully learn something so difficult as Senjutsu, and similar to them, there are indeed areas of expertise where their child is as talented as them, or maybe even more talented than them.
Kabuto was overjoyed after hearing Orochimaru's words, and said, “Good... Since Naruto-kun has managed to learn Senjutsu, then with him in our hands, we should be able to explore Senjutsu with relative ease… and find a safe method to learn it..”.
But unfortunately Kabuto had to be disappointed because Orochimaru shook his head, "I'm afraid this is no longer possible for now because the two children must be immediately handed over to Konoha..."
Kabuto was surprised, and asked, “A-what?! Surely you are joking Orochimaru-sama.. ”.
Orochimaru shook his head, “I'm very serious..well that's part of the deal I made with Shimura Danzo, if we are careful enough, we can always keep in touch with Naruto-kun.
Kabuto nodded with a sigh, "So, how can you do it then..."
Orochimaru nodded, and while stroking Kabuto's shoulder, he instructed, "Make all arrangements..." After speaking up to here, Orochimaru paused for a while, and as if he had suddenly made something, he added, "Also, I think, be sure to instruct Naruto-kun not to reveal the fact that he has studied Senjutsu ..."
Understanding the agreement between Orochimaru and Danzo, Kabuto asked nothing more, and immediately completed the instructions given by Orochimaru…
…
Half a day later.
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom
On the one hand, continuous explosions echoed and sounded from miles away, as the war between the Shinobi began...
With Shimura Danzo in front, a group of Shinobi quickly transports a hidden underground base somewhere in this valley and begins to eliminate all shinobi enemies.
In the middle of the battle, some of Danzo's men who were throwing shinobi enemies managed to find Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata locked in a 'safe' prison cell'.
And once the two hostages were found, the two were immediately transferred to Danzo's side.
Seeing all the ferocious Shinobi in the surroundings with each of them wearing a strange mask, Naruto, though stupid and ignorant, and despite not understanding the situation, did not dare to act recklessly or go off course ... He remained silent and wary of the people around him, and he was just trying to protect Hinata who was shivering in fear and hiding behind him.
Danzo did not care about the two children's thoughts, and he only looked at them as the key to becoming Hokage, so he that knowing his plan had succeeded, he ordered, “Target has been saved, he said, now quickly finish off all enemy Shinobi and take over their headquarters.”.
On Danzo's orders, his men speed up their attacks, and soon all the enemy shinobi are eliminated and the entire base is taken over.
Of course, some of Danzo's men were also killed in the process, but regardless of them, the rest quickly returned to Konoha to announce the successful rescue of Jinchuriki Kyuubi and their victory over the villain Shinobi Orochimaru.
