Chapter 14: Wrath, Plans, and Intent
The torture of Kaede was worse than that of Yahiko. Her screams began to fill
the room, she begged for the pain to stop, but Ibiki kept working. Yahiko could no
longer take it, he cut the last of his ropes quickly and roughly which caused him to start
bleeding slowly. He flew out of his chair with the small little dagger in his hand. Yahiko
took the knife right in front of Ibiki's throat. The Anbu interrogator tried to elbow the
young samurai, but he missed.
Yahiko whispered in Morino's left ear. "Now you are playing my game," said
Yahiko savagely. Ibiki stood there accepting the knife and the young samurai at his
back.
Kaede just sat in her chair unconscious, looking down as if dead from the
electrocution. Within moments Yahiko had Ibiki, absent of his jacket, tied down to a
chair. Yahiko made a point of tying him down tightly so he could not move or even think
of moving.
Ibiki wore no shirt and had only a pair of pants to ensure that he could not make
a grab for his kunais or any of his other weapons. Yahiko carefully put Kaede on one
of the beds in the back and he went back to the front for Ibiki. Ibiki just looked at
Yahiko and let out a harsh laugh.
"Do you really think you can torture me, boy ?" asked Ibiki in a cruel wicked
laugh. Yahiko realized that it would be wrong to torture the Anbu man, but he had no
choice.
"You are in Akatsuki, who activated you ? Who is your contact ?" asked Yahiko.
Ibiki said nothing. Yahiko punched the scarred man in the face and proceeded
with the electrocution. Yahiko started with a sharp jolt of electricity in Ibiki's privates.
"Just to show I am not messing around." Ibiki was blue in the face. "Who
activated you, asshole ?" Ibiki was in tears. "I have tortured another man once idiot
and I know how to do it so bring it."
Once more there was no answer. Yahiko drew up the dagger and took up Ibiki's
right middle finger and cut it off. It fell to the ground and Ibiki began to howl in pain.
"Ok, I was activated by­" Ibiki began to violently shake and his head went low to the
ground. He was dead. Morino Ibiki committed suicide by a black pill. Yahiko stared at
Ibiki's dead body and kicked him and the chair across the room. Yahiko ran back to the
room where Kaede slept. She was sleeping on her bed peacefully and that is how it
ought to be, thought Yahiko. He proceeded to cleanup the mess in the other room and
he would go tell somebody.
Naruto spent his days waiting for the third part of the exam and contemplating
how the contact would meet him. Would it be before the exam or after the exam ?
What information would the person have or would he have any at all. He walked
among the alleyways in hope of trying to see if he would be contacted. He still thought
about his friends and their struggles. Shikamaru's unfaithfulness, Master Gai's
drunkenness, Sakura's loneliness. There was something wrong, something changed in
the wind.
A man appeared as if out from the ground. He was covered in black and wore

---

only black. There was no sign of who he was or what he even looked like. He walked
slowly towards Naruto. Naruto just stood there and now he knew this was his contact.
The man looked down into the ground, trying to hide his face from Naruto.
"I am your contact," said the man in a raspy voice which was not his own. "I
come on behalf of Lord Orochimaru and the one known as Vash the Stampede."
Vash's name struck Naruto like a knife.
"What do you know ?" asked Naruto impatiently.
"Boy, you have no right to ask me anything, infact don't ask. If you say another
word then consider yourself dead."
Naruto stood there silently and he believed the man in black.
"Your way to Akatsuki is through the fat man."
The fat man, thought Naruto, what kind of information is that.
"And beware the samurai his vengeance may destroy him and you." The man
turned and began to walk away from Naruto. He let out a smile that was not seen by
Naruto. The boy will never gain his absolution because I will never let him, thought the
man.
Naruto stood there trying to comprehend what he just learned or the lack of
things he just learned. Naruto walked out of the alleyway unaware of still being
watched by the man in black. Soon Uzumaki Naruto, you and Akatsuki will fall, thought
the dark man. And after that he vanished into thin air. There are only two days until the
exam.
Across the village in a darken room sat three men. The room was dimly lit and
the faces of these men were obscured. One of these men was Uchiha Itachi.
"It seems that Orochimaru's plan involves letting Uzumaki Naruto to
infiltrate our organization," said a man with a subtle educated voice.
"Perhaps we should kill Naruto now to avoid all this," said a man with a
rough violent voice. He sat near one of the windows and was drinking heavily from his
up.
"Perhaps we can learn more about Orochimaru and the demon fox if we
let Naruto join," said the first man. He quickly took a sip from his cup.
"Don't you have anything to say on this matter, Itachi, after all you have
been watching his activities of late."
The Uchiha sat silently looking towards the darkened face of the violent man.
"We will let him join when the time comes, but we will let him learn very little about our
organization."
"But Itachi, "he" is here. The double agent, the man who just left. If I
remember he is Naruto's contact from Orochimaru himself and he was pretty high in
Akatsuki."
"Do not worry my old friend Kisame is taking care of him as we speak."
The men sat silently in the darkened room. "Perhaps it is time we destroy all of
Orochimaru's contacts to show him that we are indeed here."
The violent man replied," We should wait and let the plan go as followed, his
plans and ours." The three men agreed on this.
"Maybe we should test Naruto," said the smart man. The two others sat
there in total silence for several moments. The violent man was twiddling his fingers,

---

deep in thought. Itachi was sitting there analyzing the rather complicated situation.
"Naruto has been tested enough, his very existence is a test and so far he
is passing, however we should throw him a challenge." Itachi let out a smile, infact all
three did.
"But who shall we throw at him," said the violent man. This man was not a
great thinker, but well he was still very useful to the organization. "Itachi perhaps you
should fight him and well not kill him, but simply test him."
"Yeah Itachi, you should test Naruto," said the smart man. Itachi wanted
to but he did not want to kill him yet.
"I shall fight him then and I will be careful not to kill him," said Itachi,
smiling.
The man in black sent Kisame flying into the vacated building. However the man
from Akatsuki was still hell-bent on killing the dark man. Kisame took up his sword,
Samehada, and rushed towards the man. The man quickly ducked and sent his sword
up blocking Kisame's downward slash. He quickly kicked Kisame, but the Akatsuki
stood there grinning at him. The man in black quickly ducked but as he went behind
Kisame, he was caught by the neck and was staring face to face with Kisame.
"You have betrayed Akatsuki and your punishment is death
Enishi," said Kisame. He ripped off Enishi's black cloak to reveal the face of Enishi.
After almost half a decade Enishi has changed greatly. His hair is longer, he still wears
glasses, and his face has many more scars than it had. Enishi did not struggle with
Kisame;'s mighty grip instead he quickly and silently drew up a dagger and set it
upward into Kisame's hand. Kisame let out a yelp and dropped Enishi. The dark man
quickly took up his sword and rushed towards Kisame. Enishi ducked and vanished.
He appeared behind Kisame, but as he struck Kisame, the vile swordsman vanished.
Enishi quickly vanished and all their fight consisted of was quick movements
that only the trained could possibly wish to see. There were blows and hits but they
recovered to quickly to let on to the pain. The fight had already been going on for
almost an hour and now it has been longer than that. It began to rain slowly at first, but
then it began to rain quickly and the lighting and thunder began.
With each strike of the sword there would be huge bangs and crashes of
thunder. And the lightning would follow shortly after the huge bangs and crashes of
thunder.
As a result of the fight debris and shards of glass was everywhere. The windows
in the building were no more and the walls were cracking and falling. The two
swordsman appeared on opposite sides of the building, both were bleeding and both
were sweating heavily. They were breathing slowly and both were in pain, Kisame
more than Enishi.
I can't let myself be beaten by this nobody, thought Kisame, I am better I
am of Akatsuki. He ran towards Enishi, expelling chakra into Samehada. I will kill him
with this one blow, thought Kisame. Enishi stood there dropping his sword down to his
side.
"Don't mock me, you little bastard !!!," said Kisame. Kisame
reached Enishi and let out a diagonal slash, Enishi quickly took up his sword blocked
and broke through Samehada. Samehada's upper shard was sent flying into the

---

ceiling. Kisame stood there staring at Enishi in disbelief. Enishi let out a smile and sent
the Akatsuki man flying into the wall. The wall broke behind Kisame and he slid to the
ground, groaning in pain. I have never been beaten, thought Kisame, not like this.
Enishi appeared before Kisame and brought his sword down into Kisame's chest. He
coughed up blood and groaned in pain.
"This will be a message to Akatsuki," said Enishi coldly. Enishi did
a quick upward motion with his sword sending it up to Kisame's throat. Kisame gurgled
out blood and he was dead. Enishi took out his sword slowly and wiped the blood off
on Kisame's clothing. He put his sword away. And now for the message to Akatsuki,
thought Enishi.
"Madam Fifth, there is a body on the mountain of the hokages," said the carriage
driver. Even though the spy master was set to be here later that day around nine, she
wanted to take a trip to the capital city of the land of fire. Have some fun and gamble.
Tsunade looked out the carriage to see the body. She quickly got out of the carriage
and ran towards the mountain. She quickly ran up it as if it were just steps. She met
the body at third's nose. It was covered in blood, all over in blood. She began to feel
sick and she nearly doubled over and which would have caused her to fall to the bottom
of the mountain. The carriage driver caught her just in time.
"Madam fifth are you alright ?" asked the man kindly. He wasn't being
kind he just wanted to be rewarded. "Who is that ?" He was looking up at the dead
horribly mutilated body.
"That man or thing was if I am not mistaken was Hoshigaki Kisame, S-
Ranked Criminal and a suppose said member of Akatsuki. Help me get down the
mountain and then go get Captain Neji so we can cut down the body.
Tsunade got home shorty before six after all the hysteria had passed and
yet Naruto was no where to be found. She got home and found severall ill-cleaned up
stains on her floor she knew it was blood and she saw Yahiko and Kaede. They both
looked in horrible shape.
"What happened here ?" she asked. Tsunade knew because her captain
of intelligence already told her.
"One of your Anbu, Morino Ibiki, was working for Akatsuki," said Kaede.
She looked better than earlier but she was still in rough shape.
"Was ?"
"I killed him," replied Yahiko. The two sat on a couch.
"Let me make you two some dinner," said the fifth kindly. "By the way
where is Naruto ?"
"We have not seen him all day."
"Strange. Very Strange, but then again the exam is in three days,
unpleasant things lie ahead for him and you guys, perhaps for all of us."
Naruto sat in the park staring up at his dreams and yet in reality he knew that his
dreams may never come true, he may die before he would ever have a chance to truly
prove himself. Unbeknownst to him somebody was watching him, a dark imposing
figure. One of the Akatsuki, Uchiha Itachi. Itachi sat in a tree looking and watching
Naruto.
He knew about Kisame, but Kisame was stupid for being beaten by that

---

weak fool. I will not be beaten by him because I know he won't be able to beat me,
thought Itachi. And after I finish with Naruto I will cast my attention onto that
troublesome fool. I must not beat him to badly.
Naruto sat there contemplating it all, what if I fail. What if I let them die, what if I
fail them ? Wait this isn't me, this isn't Uzumaki Naruto, thought Naruto, I will not fail. I
have been through worse and I have had to do worse things.
The shadows around Naruto intensified. The lights began to lose their
brightness and they steadily began to go out. Something is wrong, thought Naruto. A
figure that could be out of nightmares appear and grew visible. He had dark cold eyes.
"Hello Naruto," he said emotionlessly. He had long black hair like that of
an Uchiha that was because he is an Uchiha.
"Uchiha Itachi," said Naruto. The slayer of his own walked slowly towards
Naruto. The light grew smaller as he approached Naruto. What should I do, thought
Naruto, he can easily kill me and it is not my right to fight him. "I have no right to fight
you, your brother alone has that right."
"Then you wish me to kill you without struggle." Itachi kept walking
towards Naruto. Naruto just stood looking at Itachi in utter horror, he was frozen in
place. And then somebody came running and knocked Naruto down to the ground.
It was close to nine now and Tsunade began to wonder Sarutobi was. Yahiko
and Kaede went to bed but she knew that they were not asleep they just wanted reason
to get up. There was a slight tap on the door.
"Who is it ?"
"It's me Temari, hurry up Sarutobi and Naruto is fighting Uchiha Itachi !!!",
said Temari from the other side of the door.
"Yahiko, Kaede get up we need to go Naruto is in trouble !!!," said
the fifth. In nearly half a second Yahiko and Kaede were down the steps. Yahiko held
his sakabato in his hands and Kaede had her bow in her hands.
"You two will be unable to fight the Uchiha is beyond us all, we can only
hope to get them outta there. Now lets move." Yahiko, Kaede, and Tsunade ran out of
the house and followed after the quickly vanishing figure of Temari. She was leading
them towards the park.
They got there in a few minutes. "You two need to stay on guard and do not try
and fight him if you do then consider yourselves dead," said the fifth. They noticed that
she was pale and sweating. Temari stood with them and watched what was unfolding
infront of them.
Naruto ran at Itachi being careful of the sharingans that he possessed. The new
combatant that saved him provided some cover at best and was helping with the attack.
They both launched at Itachi, but the Uchiha blocked them both and sent them flying
into the trees. Naruto quickly got up and was bleeding heavily and was possessed by
anger and hatred. He bore his teeth and showed that they were bigger and sharper,
the marks on his cheeks were more visible, infact they looked to be on fire. The spy
was knocked unconscious.

---

"I have never seen Naruto this mad before," said Yahiko. Kaede said the
same.
"It is the demon, the kyubi, inside him. Kyubi is breaking through the
seals. Have you ever seen the demon's power ?"
"We knew he possessed this power, we just didn't understand that much
about. Naruto never told us much about kyubi."
Naruto ran on his fours at Itachi, he was growling and snarling. He made a
rasengan and launched it at Itachi. Itachi caught it and sent it back at Naruto. Naruto
jumped high into the air and watched it strike and destroy a tree in mere seconds.
Naruto this time launched four rasengans at Itachi, but all four were destroyed. Naruto
ran at Itachi once more and landed on him. Itachi kicked him off and sent him flying
into a tree which knocked sent him out of consciousness.
"You passed Naruto," said Itachi and he simply vanished. Temari ran
towards the spy master to revive him and Tsunade, Yahiko, Kaede went over to see
Naruto. The fox was calmed down now and Naruto grew back to normal. Naruto truly
looked to be at peace.
Lucky for us that Itachi ended it, thought the Fifth or we would've had a problem
on our hands.
Yahiko took Naruto up on his shoulder and began to follow the fifth and
Kaede. The fifth led them over to Temari and the newly conscious spy master, Sarutobi
Hayana. The fifth led them back to her house. Yahiko placed Naruto on his bed
upstairs and went downstairs to greet the guests.
"Yahiko, Kaede this is Temari she is the sister of the Kazekage and this fellow
who almost got himself killed is Sarutobi Hayana, the highest intelligence ranking officer
in the hidden village of the sand," said the fifth. Sarutobi looked to be mischievous and
a little to sure of himself, but he did catch the eyes of Kaede. Temari was both beautiful
and defiant, but Yahiko did not want if he remembered correctly Naruto said she was
the mistress of Shikamaru.
"Hello beautiful," said Sarutobi, he took up Kaede's hand and kissed it,
Kaede blushed slightly. Temari took up her fist and smacked him on top the head.
"Hayana, go to bed now," she said coldly.
"Well it seems that I'm going to bed now, perhaps I can be shown the
way?"
"Yahiko since you are going to bed show him where he is sleeping,"
Yahiko went up the stairs and opened one of the doors to show the spy master his
room.
"Thanks, kid. Good night," said Sarutobi. He went into the room and shut
the door in Yahiko's face. What a jackass, thought Yahiko. Yahiko proceeded to his
room and quickly checked on Naruto and went to bed. Kaede was already asleep by
the time Yahiko actually went to bed. What a long day, thought Kaede.
"Madam Fifth, times not safe. The fox almost broke through the seals
and now Akatsuki is here. Things are sure to get worse and I fear for your safety.
Wouldn't be easier to well, finish him," said the spymaster in the dimly lit room of the
fifth's office.

"Sarutobi that is a horrible thing to say and well he has a dream rather he

---

had one. We can not and I will not let him die as long as I live."

"What is his dream, Madam Fifth ?"
"To truly prove his existence by becoming Hokage."
"Very well then Madam Fifth." Sarutobi looked down into the ground,
saddened. He looked back up and smiled. "Besides I wouldn't kill him, it is wrong and I
am not Karashi."
"Hayana there are three more days until the final part of the exam, watch
for any signs of Akatsuki or Orochimaru."
"I will."
"And watch for Naruto, but if he does anything don't stop him, whatever
happens he is doing to save Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke." She looked into his
eyes and he silently acknowledged her.
"Be wary Madam Fifth, he is not the same boy you once knew."
" I know this and that is why you shouldn't do anything, if you get between
him and his friends he won't hesitate to kill you," said the fifth. Sarutobi just sat there
looking at the fifth.
