Chapter 54: Meeting With The Hokage
I wonder what is the reason I am being summoned though I have a good idea what it is for...
I then go to the Hokage's Tower and as I enter I see the receptionist, she looks at me and says.
" The Hokage is waiting for you
Inuzuka -sama."
I arrived exactly on time. I go inside the office and I see Hiruzen and Danzo in there the other 2 council members are missing. But there is a Shikamaru looking guy... probably a Nara, they are usually the strategists of our battlefields...
Then the Hokage looks at me, smiles and says.
"I see that you are getting stronger every time we meet."
Wow I feel like he starts every conversation with a smile...
I just say to him.
"Well hard work never betrayed anyone."
He looks at me and says humorously.
"Yeah you are right... hard work betrays no one."
He then gets serious and says.
"Then lets get right to the point. I need someone to go support Tsunade on the Mist battlefield... Well not really support... there has been cloud ninja seen in the territory of the battlefield between Mist and Konoha. Never hurt to cautious... you will act as her second in command."
Then Danzo comes forward and says cynically.
"We also want you to end things there in the Mist battlefield... I want you to... kill the commanders in the Mist battlefield..."
These guys... are they playing good cop, bad cop... is it a way for them to test me or something... are they suspicious of something... I don't like not knowing things...
This all went through my mind in half a second... so I just look at them seriously and said...
"Well I will give it all my efforts... when do I have to get ready to go there..."
Then the Nara lookalike says.
"We will set of in 5 days... I will also be coming with you..."
I look at him and say.
"Ok... I am Yami Inuzuka Sir..."
He just looks at me and makes a smirk and says...
"I know you kid... my kid used to talk about you a lot...*sigh* What a drag that was... plus you are kind of famous around Konoha..."
I look at him and think I was famous really....? I might of have destroyed a village... but I thought I might be overshadowed by the Sanin... I mean Jiraya also destroyed the Dragonfly Village... that action also started the war... though Sarutobi was there but it was more as support to make sure no one escaped who then might come back for revenge... at least those are my thoughts on the events... It is described with waaaay to much propaganda on the Konoha books I didn't even read past the couple of pages... I mean they accused them of stealing a very benevolent Noble or something like that... when in reality Fire Country just wanted to expand their territory.
Well as they say history is written by the winners... but in the other countries they say thet Konoha massacred the small ninja village and the other countries wanted 'justice'...
But in reality they were afraid of the Fire Country getting more land so they also started attacking their small neighbours to also get more land to be able to keep up with Konoha and then Konoha was like 'why are you massacring weak villages...'
because Konoha was now afraid of them.
Then they were like ' well you started it.'
They started with small conflicts amongst each other and Konoha said to 'stop attacking the small villages'
they didn't and then booom war comes...
With Konoha in the middle of all the ninja villages so it became a very disadvantaged situation for Konoha since the beginning.
But Konoha was able to survive thanks to many legendary ninja like the Sanin, White Fang, The Sceptre, The Profesor, The Darkness of Shinobi etc...
I just look at him and say.
"Are you Shikaku's dad."
He smirks and says.
"Yeah I am Shikaramu Nara the current clan head of the Nara clan and I represent Ino-Shika-Cho alliance *sigh* which is such a drag..."
What the hell is up with that tired 'aura'
around him... that is weird, kind of like killing intent but it just expresses his boredom... and it is pretty much useless... I wonder does he do that unconsciously... killing intent can be made unconsciously and consciously...
Anyway I just tell him.
"Well I see that you know me but I would like to introduce myself...
My name is Yami Inuzuka, I like training, my ninken and Konoha. I dislike war and needless killing.
My hobbies are eating delicious food and learning new things.
My dream for the future is.... to become the strongest HOKAGE so I can protect Konoha and all of those I love."
The Nara looks at me with his sleepy eyes and says...
"Way to much info I didn't really ask for or need."
Well I need you to think you understand me and have me figured out. Because I am not really sure if I can hide things from an experienced and intelligent Nara who is best friends with the head of the clan who specialises in reading memories and dealing with information.
I just look at him in a serious way and say.
"Well we are comrades and we need to know each other plus I don't think you are a spy..."
-CHANGE POV- (Shikaramu Nara)
I look at Yami Inuzuka suspiciously and think... this kid.....
