Chapter 9 - 8.DISASTER! PLAN FAILED!

THREE YEARS AND TEN MONTHS OLD

KUMO DELEGATION ARRIVED...

The weather was stormy when the delegation arrived at konoha.

I was prepared with knock-out gas bombs that i got from Gennou sensei as gifts along with many other things and tanto to stop the Kumo Head Shinobi Makato.

My plan was very simple, all i have to do is hit him with the bombs.

As soon as he leave his room, i will ambush him midway and with the element of surprise and my dustless bewildering cover jutsu, i am positive i will succeed in knocking him out. If it became a problem i can always count on the Chameleon clan. If everything went well he will be out cold till morning. Then the patrols will find him and take him under custody from there it can be handled by Hiruzen jiji.

So with that in my mind, i left my house at 10pm sharp leaving behind a shadow clone so that Naruto doesn't find out about it. And here i am waiting for him in this fu**ing rain for the past two hours.

After waiting for his arrival for the last two hours i decided enough was enough so i extend my sensory field and... "Shit! There's only 12 chakra signatures inside and the chakra signature of Makato is missing..Shit! Shit!.... Don't panic!....first i have to go to the Hugya compound and then try to locate Hinata's chakra."...i thought to myself.

So i leapt towards the Hugya Compound on the other side of the village.

Upon arriving there i found increased anbu activity within the vicinity and deduced that either Hinata was missing ,which she isn't as i can still sense her chakra, or somebody got killed which was confirmed when i saw the limped body of Makato on the strecher and Hugyas all around the place.

I watched all of this from a distance so as not to get in the range of Byakugan with some other precautions.

"And that's how all of my brilliant planning has gone down the drains of Inuzuka clan's kennels...ha! It looks like i have to go for that plan, its too early, but i don't have a choice now."....i thought to myself.

From tomorrow onwards, i have to collect more info on this situation, then i will act accordingly.

So i returned home and tried to sleep while wondering why the Kumo's head shinobi acted so soon? Isn't midnight the best time for the success of these kinds of plans. Then it clicked in my head. Of course! He did it due to the stormy weather! He must have thought that the storm will erase his scent and help better cover his tracks.

Today i have learned a valuable lesson that things will never go always as one plans, in other words, no plan is full proof and one have to adapt according to situations.

TWO DAYS LATER, KONOHA....

It has been two days since the Kumo-Hugya incident. The village is in uproar and tensed as everybody knows that the current situation can escalate into another war which Konoha at this time cannot afford because the village hasn't fully recovered from the kyubii attack and the Third Shinobi world war, not to mention the power vaccum that Orochimaru's defection and Fourth Hokage's death has created within the village.

In other words the village is currently weak.

I don't know how and why, but this time too Hiashi has killed the head shinobi of Kumogakure.

The response from the Raikage hasn't arrived but the kumo delegation had already started demanding the head of the one responsible for Makato's death, namely, Hiashi Hugya.

I have decided to reveal myself to Hiruzen jijl so that i can help the village in mending this crisis.It was always in my plans but i wanted to do it two or three years later for a particular reason, not this soon. How i am going to help the Leaf village? i will explain it soon.

NEXT DAY.....

It was the third day since the Kumo shinobi's murder that the Raikage finally responded and send his reply.

As expected the Raikage demanded Hiashi's body.

and nothing else with a warning that refusal to do so will have severe repercussions.

So the council was called and then they discussed the various possibilities.....yada...yada.... later tried to find some alternative....yada.....yada... but at last decided to fulfil the Raikage's demand.

HOKAGE TOWER'S MEETING ROOM

So here i am spying on the meeting (using dustless bewildering cover jutsu) of Hiruzen jiji and elders in the Hokage tower who were discussing how Konoha and Hugya clan could save the secrets of the byakugan from Kumo by sacrificing Hizashi instead of Hiashi thus avoiding the war and preserving the byakugan's secrets.

"So the situation of the Leaf is that bad huh!"...i announced my presence. And deflected the kunais and shuriken thrown at me by the anbus who quickly surrounded and took protective position around the elders and jiji.

"Relax! i didn't came to harm anybody"...i stated.

"Who are you? How did you managed to come inside without alerting anybody?"...demanded the Hokage.

"I will tell you once your removed your anbus and activates the privacy seals."....i said.

"Why should I listen to your demands."... asked jiji.

"Because as far as i can tell i highly doubt that anybody can harm the Kami and Yami of the shinobi world all on their own, let alone kill them...and i can help Leaf.".....i told them.

Hiruzen jiji then pondered on my proposal and ordered the anbus to leave us alone, they were a little hesitant but obeyed him.

"Show yourself!"...barked jiji.

"Send those two other anbus(Root) out, along with the kikaicū(They have chakra so i could sense them), then i will show myself."....i stated.

At last, we were alone so i undid my dustless bewildering cover and Transformation jutsus, and removed my mask.... needless to say they were very surprised.

"Haruto! What are you doing here? Do you know how dangerous that was?"...said Hiruzen jiji.

"Who do you think you are?"...screamed Koharu.

"Do you know the trouble you are in?".....trailed off Homura.

Like this they continued muttering for some time. Danzo remained impassive.

"Are you done?".....i asked

Everyone sweatdropped.

"Haruto! we were just worried for you! what you just now tried was dangerous."....said the Hokage.

Suddenly Danzo asked, "How can you help the Leaf village?"

"Have you gone senile! Danzo! How can a four years old child help Leaf village in this crisis."...screamed an angry Koharu.

"I am perfectly fine! Koharu! Now explain boy!"...demanded Danzo.

"I will explain in time.....first answer some of my questions."...i replied.

Then quickly asked, "Why does the Leaf is giving in the demands of Kumo even though we know that Kumo is at fault?"

"Because of the threat of war, which the Leaf can't afford at this time and the Raikage very well knows it. The kyubii attack and Fourth Hokage's death has left us vurnable and we haven't recovered from it. But with Orochimaru's sudden defection we were further weakened and the Raikage seized this opportunity and acted on it. And now we are in this helpless situation.

Even in the last Great Shinobi War, out of all the villages Kumo suffered the least thus quickly managed to recover from it .

Currently, as much as i hate to admit it, Kumo is the most powerful of the hidden villages in military strength. We can't afford war unlike the Hidden cloud village."...explained Danzo. "Never thought i will hear this line from Danzo of all people"...i thought in my mind.

"I see! What about the other villages?.....i asked again.

"Let's see Sunaga....."started Danzo but suddenly got interrupted by Kohura who said, "Can we stop this pointless chatter?"

"Kohura san! Just be patience! i will explain my plan to get us out of this situation after i got my answers."....i said to Kohura confidently.

"Hiruzen!"....called Homura.

"Jiji! Please!".....i requested.

"Humpf! Let them be,"...said Hiruzen jiji.

"So where were we! Ah! Yes! You were saying something about Sunagakure..."....i trailed off.

"Yes! as i was saying Sunagakure is currently very weak due to their economic crises, Kirigakure is in the middle of a civil war, Iwagakure is weaker than us, Lord Fourth has seen to that in the last war so as much as they want they won't touch us. Its just Kumo and us. But we are in no position to go to war unlike them.".....finished Danzo.
