Passing Through Konoha

Picked up from:

Spoiler:

Zen got ready to respond to her as a violent shock rocked them as the boat abruptly stops. The boat arrives to shore docking in the land of fire. He looks at her with a determined look. Lets be off. We have to hurry. Zenaku rises from the room nodding to Natsu indicating that it was time to leave. Upon leaving the ship and walking down a long boardwalk he looks up in the distance seeing the village hidden in the leaves. Konoha. Looking around he takes in the scene of a village teaming with people. In the distance further was a large mountain with human stone faces on them in honor of each hokage.

Waiting on Natsu he wastes no time raising his hand and focusing chakra. A bird came flying down landing on his arm. He fastened a letter to the birds leg letting it fly. It kicks up small gusts of wind in Zenaku's face as it takes off flying in the direction of the village. The note attached was to alert the Hokage of the arrival of Iwa shinobi to his village and that no harm was meant. Turning back to Natsu he makes a headnod to the direction of the village and begins slowly walking through the outskirts of a small town outside of konoha's walls.

After walking for some time they arrive at the check in point to enter the village as two guards react to meet them. They had to be atleast chuunin level from their attire. One held a check pad while the ohter watched each person trying to enter the village. It was now their turn and the ninja spoke. Name and business in konoha? Zen replies. My name is Zenaku and this is Natsu. We're from the village of Iwa and we're here to see the hokage. Zen holds out a small scroll and hands it to the shinobi who then reads it. Looking up he gestures to another ninja who approaches and takes the scroll vanishing behind the walls. The chuunin speaks up. Please wait over there for a moment while we notify the hokage. Zen walks over to the wall looking back at Natsu. How do you feel?[b]

As Zenaku prepared himself to answer Natsu's question, the ship suddenly stopped. It was so abruptly that Natsu nearly fell off the hammock she was lying on. She got off of it, and heard Zenaku say that they had to hurry. 'Looks like I am never going to get my answer..' she thought, frowning. Natsu walked out of the cabin, to the deck and down the little bridge that was meant to be walked on in order to get on or off the ship. They were walking towards Konoha. Natsu was still wearing that cloak and the weather in the Fire country was rather warm, so she took it off and held it in her arms. She was only wearing that blue thin dress that she was wearing in the prison.

A bird landed on Zenaku's hand and he attached a scroll to it's foot. 'Probably to notify the Hokage....I wonder if still Tenshi is Hokage...' back when she was in Iwa, Tenshi had been the Hokage. They finally arrived at the Konoha gates, after passing by a small village. Two Ninja were standing there. Natsu, looking at them, could see that they were chuunin. Some people were standing before them, obviously wanting to enter Konoha. After some minutes it was their turn, at last. The leaf ninja asked their names and business. Natsu didn't bother to reply, as Zenaku would anyway. As soon as he informed the chuunin that they were Ninja from Iwa, he gave him a scroll and the chuunin disappeared. The other one told them to wait a bit aside the gates until the Kage had been notified.

Natsu and Zenaku walked over at the wall, and he asked her how she was feling. ''I'm fine.'' she said, observing the Chuunin with a critical look. ''When did we become friends with Konoha?'' she asked, her green eyes narrowing.

Waiting for the hokage and Natsu to answer Zen looks back out taking in the scenes of the village off to the side. The small area they left behind was still full of life of the residents. Glancing off to the left he notices a wagon pulled by a donkey with a old farmer following along side the beast. For some reason seeing that old man made Zen smile remembering the peace that life used to hold.

The line of people walking through the checkpoint to enter konoha was moving along swiftly. One thing Zen always knew was to take in every detail possible of his surroundings at all times. He saw everything as time seemed to slow in his mind. One of the chuunin that were at the gate stood with more weight on his left foot than his right foot. That, along with the fact that he shifted weight to his other leg for only a moment before shifting back told Zen something. Something was wrong with one of his legs and he tried to hide it.

His eyes danced to the line itself as a small child ran behind a middle aged woman. The child was full of energy and the woman looked tired. As if she'd been up all night and he'd slept soundly. He looked as though he could of run circles around her at any moment. She carried in her hand a necklace of some kind. In her hand she clutched the main piece as the rest of it dangled from a broken clasp swinging to and fro as she walked.

Taking in all the information suddenly his concentration was broken by Natsu. ''When did we become friends with Konoha? He looked back at her with as if to say Where have you been? only to quickly realize that she has in fact been away. Well, Lord Ryusaki struck a peace treaty with the land of fire to build allies in case of war. Currently, our relationship with Suna isn't the best. There was a bit of a war and that was that. I don't particularly care what happens to another country but our kage cares so I care. He stops there and goes back to observing his surroundings.

Zenaku looked at Natsu with a confused look. It was obvious that he had forgotten that she was locked away for two years. He said that they were at war with Suna and Konoha was their ally. ''We needed help in a war? Wow, have we really become that weak...?'' she asked, more heself than Zenaku. The boy went back to observing the people who entered Konoha. The Chuunin still hadn't returned from the Hokage's office and it would probably take a while, considering the Kage must have been busy with different village duties. ''Slow people.'' she mumbled, as she saw an elder couple walking slowly but steady towards the gate. Natsu didn't like slow people, or old people. She actually didn't like anyone but she hated old people. Natsu considered them useless, especially if they weren't Ninja.

Natsu gazed into the blue sky, watching some birds. She felt like grabbing a stone and killing them, but she couldn't find a stone that had the appropriate size. Natsu looked down on herself, noticing the dress. It wasn't an ugly dress it was actually pretty nice.Well, better than what the other prisoners were wearing. The girl wondered what had happened to the other prisoners. If they were dead or if they had managed to break free and once again try to destroy the world. Her rescue probably had it's costs. 'I need to get new clothes...but damn I got no money...Hm..' Natsu looked around, observing the people and the chuunin, calculating how talented the Ninja and how rich the people were. She considered breaking into a store at night and steal some money, surely no one would notice her.

Finally the other Chuunin had come back and waved towards Zenaku and Natsu, meaning that they should go over there. Natsu pushed herself away from the wall and walked towards the Chuunin with an emotionless face. She thought little of those Chuunins. The girl waited for Zenaku to come so the Chuunin could tell them about their visit.

Hachi sat in his office examining his papers something he did daily. He was staring at the paper for a moment the words on the paper beginning to blend together. He shook his head for a moment to try to clear his thoughts. The village had been very quiet lately, He stood up from his desk his wings wrapped around his body as he looked out of his window of the building that overlooked most of the village. He let out a deep sigh as he looked over his village the stress of keeping a village maintained wasn't bothering him at all it was how empty konoha currently was that bothered him. He did have some ninja and a large quantity of civilians in the village but still it seemed rather empty for a village. As he continued to look over the village a bird flew towards the window hachi opening it and taking the letter from the bird it taking off as soon as he obtained the letter. It was a letter from a iwagakure ninja telling him that they had arrived at the village something that puzzled him for a moment he had forgotten that this village did have a peace treaty with iwagakure. Having not participated in the small war between iwagakure and konohagakure against sunagakure he had little to no information about the peace treaty.

He turned back around to sit at his desk for a moment to finish the rest of his paperwork before going to meet then iwa ninja when a knock was heard at the door. The door opened to reveal a chunin that seemed to be guarding the gate today

"Lord hokage we have two iwa ninja here to visit the village. Should i let them in."

Hachi smirked at the chunin, These had to be the same two ninja that sent him the letter which meant no harm. He stood up from his desk deciding to take a break from his paper work he walked towards the chunin speaking as he walked.

"Of course they may enter but i will come with you to welcome them at the gate."

Hachi's deep voice thundered in this rather small office hachi walking behind the chunin towards the gate. He wasn't wearing his hokage robe and hat due to his hatred of clothing he would only wear it when he would be forced to somewhere like the kage summit. The chunin and hachi walked silently to the gate where hachi met the two iwa ninja. The chunin motioned for them to enter the village the door opening to the face of the new hokage. At first glance it seemed as if he wasn't human his body shrouded by a brightly colored cloak the only thing that could be seen was a red glowing on the hooded area of the cloak. He looked at the two ninja the man wearing the average shinobi clothing while the women wore a dress something rather odd for a ninja.

"Welcome to the village of konoha. Is there anything i can do to make you two more comfortable during your stay?"

Hachi had a large smile on his face but it couldn't be seen underneath his cloak.

Zenaku's concentration shot to the side as Natsu began walking towards the gate. Looking past her he saw the guard gesturing and proceeded towards the gate. They moved past the check point to see a man strangely dressed. By the respect and demeanor of the surrounding people he could detect that this was a man in power. This must be the hokage. Taking a few steps ahead of Natsu Zen speaks up.

Thank you. My name is Zenaku. We of Iwa would like to thank you for allowing us to stop in your village to restock and rest. We promise not to stay longer than needed. I do, however have to warn you. There may be intruders in your village at some point during our stay. That's another reason we stopped here. We're looking for a measure of protection while we rest.

Zen kept a cool about himself that any shinobi would have while remembering they're still on a mission. He noticed one of the chuunin make a face when he revealed the part about intruders. Also noticing that he didn't recognize the man standing before him his thoughts danced for a second. He'd heard nothing about a new hokage but then he wasn't interested in details like that. His purpose was to carry out the will of his kage by carrying out mission and mission. He glanced over at Natsu as he awaited the response of the hokage.

Natsu and Zenaku moved past the check point and the girl noticed an awkwardly dressed person. Well, she wasn't in the position to make a rude remark as her dress could be considered weird, too. "Welcome to the village of konoha. Is there anything i can do to make you two more comfortable during your stay?" the man said. His voice was sounding happy so Natsu guessed that he was smiling. Zenaku took a step forward and informed the person, who obviously was the Hokage, about their business in Konoha and that maybe intruders would appear. At the mentioning of intruders one of the Chuunin frowned. Natsu looked at him with a disgusted face. ''No guts to fight, or what?'' she said in a scornfully tone. Natsu didn't wait for his response.

The girl looked at the Hokage. Well, she couldn't see his face but judging from his style of clothing, he wasn't Tenshi. 'Who is that..?' Natsu took in his features, which weren't much since he was covered by clothes. ''Isn't Tenshi Hokage anymore?'' she asked, her voice being hard. Natsu didn't show respect to anyone. She didn't care about something like respect. After all, she tended to chop her enemies' dead bodies into tiny little pieces, some of them while they were still alive.

Hachi listened to the man as he spoke .

Thank you. My name is Zenaku. We of Iwa would like to thank you for allowing us to stop in your village to restock and rest. We promise not to stay longer than needed. I do, however have to warn you. There may be intruders in your village at some point during our stay. That's another reason we stopped here. We're looking for a measure of protection while we rest.

Taking it all in he just looked for a moment before responding.

"Ha ha intruders very interesting maybe this will spice up the village a bit."

He was actually interested to hear that the two were in some kind of danger. He really hadn't had anything interesting going on since he had become hokage and was actually hoping something would happen and he would protect them. A fight was something he craved right now he has always had a thirst for blood even though he was a vegetarian which was very weird to him which seemed to come on since he had become a moth creature.

'No guts to fight, or what?''

He watched as the women addressed his chunin which made him chuckle. She seemed to have a personality he loved one that didn't care about the feelings of others and would express whatever they felt. The chunins eyes narrowed but he had nothing to say so he just ignored the comment.

''Isn't Tenshi Hokage anymore?''

He was surprised that she would even ask a question like this. It was obvious he wasn't tenshi from his appearance and most likely his voice. He never actually met the hokage before him he seemed to have gone missing and with mothman there to take his position he became the hokage.

"I have no idea of the location of tenshi but i am hachi and you are?"

The women had yet to state her name it wasn't really important that he knew her name since it seemed zenaku did almost all of the talking but he preferred to have the name of hte person so that he could address them properly.

Watching the dialogue go on between the hokage and Natsu honestly annoyed him. Zen steps forward to get control of the situation. Respectfully, she's my concern. I apologize if you're offended. Is there a place that we can go to rest up? Also, may we take advantage of this opportunity to utilize your village to perhaps get in a bit of training and resupply?

Zen watches the surroundings as the chuunin react to Natsu's responses. He wasn't in the least bit afraid of them but he didn't want to create a conflict between the villages. He shot a glare at Natsu as if to say SHUT THE HELL UP SO WE CAN FINISH OUR BUSINESS! He didn't say a word though as he waited for the response of the Hokage.

The new Hokage introduced himself, saying that he didn't know the location of the previous Hokage. "I am Natsu." the girl replied with a smirk on her face. Natsu was going to ask him how he became Kage, but Zenaku stepped in, apologizing if she had offended him. "Why should he be offended? I didn't say anything wrong." she said, obviously disturbed by the interruption. The young Jounin grinned widely, as Zenaku glanced at her with a look that was telling her to shut up. Now that she knew that Zenaku was annoyed she wasn't going to shut up.

"Training, huh? I would love to fight with a Konoha Ninja." she said mischievously, glancing with evil looking eyes at the Chuunin who earlier had frowned at the mentioning of intruders. "Maybe training with me, will make you stop being afraid of anything..." Natsu slightly laughed, the laughter indicating her insanity.

Hachi smirked back at the girl even though she could not see it. Before he could reply the male jounin stepped in apologizing but hachi was just as confused as natsu was. He watched as he glared at her but she continued to talk it was obvious all three of them loved a good training session but it would have to wait until they rested up of course. After explaining how she was interested in the training she commented to his chunin once more and he couldn't help but laugh the chunin embarrassed at this point still with nothing to say.

"Well nice to meet you natsu. I will take you two to your quaters where you will rest up so that we can train later on."

Hachi began to walk his footsteps making no sound at all. His body was very light being that most of it was fur he was a very fast creature and without his fur he looked just like a large twig. The large moth towered over all of his villagers walking past them the height difference was very obvious being nearly 9 feet tall hachi seemed like a giant to children.

Zen who's still glaring at Natsu speaks to the hokage as he turns his attention back to him. Thanks but we won't be staying quite that long. In fact, we'd just like an escort to the outer borders of the land of fire on our way back to Iwagakure. Zen steps back glancing at Natsu again realizing that she was not considered a shinobi again to partake in this kind of action again until they first reported to Iwa.

Running a hand through his hair he turns back to Hachi. Would it be possible to request an escort of Konoha shinobi sooner rather than later? I'd like to get back to Iwa on the double.

The Hokage proceeded to bring Natsu and Zenaku to the place where they were going to stay but Zenaku interrupted by saying that they only needed an escort until they reached the borders of the land of Fire. Natsu frowned and turned to Zenaku. "Aww Zenny you are no fun. I wanted so badly to fight a Konoha Ninja." the girl said, grinning widely. She hadn't had a battle for two years and wanted to once again feel that blood lust. She wanted to smell the blood. She wanted to see her opponent writhing in pain. She wanted to hear his screams of agony and pain while he knew that he was going to die. Just like an animal which covers in fear when it knows that it's predator has found it and it was going to die. Her opponents were nothing but mere animals to her.

As hachi proceeded to where they would be staying he stopped zenaku telling him he wanted to leave now. Natsu was still focused on fighting with a konoha ninja.

"Oh? So your not staying? It seems like natsu wants to stay how about just a little training before you go?"

Hachi was willing to let them go as he wasn't one to try to force anyone to do anything but he wanted them to stay and train just as much as natsu did he could see the hunger for a fight in her eyes. He was hoping zenaku would change his mind he was itching for another fight.

The Hokage stopped walking and and turned to Zenaku. Obviously he was trying to presuade the boy to stay for a little bit in Konoha so he could fght them. Natsu didn't say anything, waiting for Zenaku to respond. She knew that the boy was angry and it would be fun seeing him to try to respond in a normal manner to the Hokage.

[[OMG. That's like my shortest post ever. >.>
Sorry.]]

(Nevermind the fact that you went out of turn Nat lol)

Zen waits for a moment as the hokage states his case. Zen looks back at Natsu as she laments on her wanting to fight konoha ninja. What he notices though was the chuunin. There were about 6 of them around and they all looked ready for combat hearing the Hokage's request. That made Zen think that this "TRAINING" had another purpose that Hachi wasn't saying. What mattered more to Zenaku was the mission. His mission was to bring Natsu back to Iwa immediately and report to his kage.

Zen turns back to the Hokage. Unfortunately, No we can't stay. I have a mission to accomplish. I'm sure you, being the hokage knows the importance of completing a mission.

The one thought that came into Zen's mind was the fact that Natsu wasn't yet approved to be on missions from Lord Ryusaki. What needed to happen first was to completing the mission. He now had thoughts that a fight may need to happen for them the leave. He contemplated the probability of escaping without a fight and saw that they seemed low. He places his hands in his pocket secretly as he let out a grin prepared to break for the gate if need be. Either way Zen was prepared for a fight if one was to take place.

Hachi looked at the man again his response not what he expected. He guessed the plans had changed and the ninja was in a rush to return to iwa and he couldn't do anything but let him go he was allied with iwa and couldn't risk losing it at this point.

"Well then let us go to the gate and let one of the gate guards escort you to the edge of the fire country shall we."

Hachi began to walk again towards the gate to let the two ninja exit this village. He planned to make the same chunin that natsu was making fun of escort them just for laughs. After letting the two out he would return to his office to continue his paperwork.

Anxiously waiting for Zenaku's answer, Natsu glanced at the Chuunin who backed off a bit when he saw the girl's expression. 'Already scared, huh?' she thought as she turned back to the Hokage. She had noticed that the Chuunin had taken an fight stance ready to attack whenever Hachi would order them to do so. Zenaku finally replied, saying that they couldn't stay in Konoha as he had to complete his mission. ''Pf..is that mission so important? Let's have some fun...'' she said, looking playfully at Zenaku. The Hokage, seeing that Zenaku's decision was unchangeable, escorted the Iwa ninja to the Konoha gates.

They reached the gates. ''So...which unfortunate'' she coughed '' I mean lucky Ninja is going to escort us to the borders?'' she said, looking towards the chuunin who was afraid of intruders. It sure would be fun to torture him. Of course she wouldn't cause him any physical damage as that would result in a war between Iwa and Konoha.

Zen looks at the large cloaked Hokage as he speaks of walking them to the gates. Something bothers him though. Something still doesn't feel right. His eyes dance around the area as he walks amongst the group consisting of the group of chuunin, Natsu, and the hokage. As they proceed one after the other he looks and begins to analyze everyone. He starts with the hokage.

Looking over his large shrouded body he notices that his demeanor is easily compared to Natsu's. They both seemed to want to fight but it was different. This type of fighting they wanted seemed more for fun and sport. What bothered him was he was feeling someone with bloodlust. Whoever they were they wanted to take a life. Not once did he let on what was going through his head. As they all walked he maintained a straight face with a slight grin.

I'm sorry to put you out Hokage Hachi. It's just that i'm responsible for this one and I have reason to finish my mission immediately

As he spoke he maintained his scoping of the area even when arriving at the gate. He could see that there were still some of the same people waiting in line as there was before. His eyes focus on the two chuunin at the check point then back to Natsu. It seemed as if everything was happening in seconds to Zenaku. Something then caught his eye.

In a quick instant he saw it. He wasn't quite sure exactly what it was but he knew enough. Danger. His eyes locked on to what was created such a feeling of danger. The same feeling he had when he fought those creatures when he was rescuing Natsu. It was....the middle-aged woman in the line. As she walked, with the tired look in a moment Zen saw it. It was a hand sign. Something caught his eye from the side.

His eyes grew wide as he immediately reacted. MOVE! Pushing Natsu out of the way multiple kunai erupted from the earth flying into the air. As he pushed her a couple gave him slight cuts. One on his arm and another one on his leg. He jumped back to avoid more injuries. The kunai, numbering around 20 flew into the air only to see the unmistakeable sound of wind flapping behind them. There were explosive tags on them.

Zen fell back on the ground laying on his back and yelled again for everyone to get back as he had pushed Natsu away and was in the danger zone now. He'd have to react to protect all in the area as the woman in the line let out a smirk. Quickly she took off running towards the plains to try and reach the forest as Zen was focused on the threat. He formed a few very quick katas.

Fuuton: Daitoppa!

Zen unleashed a shockwave of wind to blast the kunai in mid-air as they ignited. Zen's shockwave sent the explosive force high into the air and away from the hokage and other shinobi as the female ran away with the speed of a high ranking shinobi. She yelled out to herself. Dammit! I almost had her!

Jutsu Used

Spoiler:

Hachi chuckled at natsu. She was a very interesting girl someone he could really get used to having around she wasn't always serious and made a lot of jokes and seemed slightly insane something that hachi found interesting and just had to know more about her but for now it would have to wait as she had to be at iwa and he wasn't gong to force them to stay.

Walking closer and closer to the gate he could tell that zenaku was watching someone finding them very suspicious. He didn't let it bother him the barrier around konoha would pick up a presence that wasn't normally there so he was perfectly fine but it was when a women began to fling kunai when he began to react. He was surprised anyone had made it through the barrier but then looking at her he knew that this women had been in the village for a while coming before they had arrived it must have been someone pursuing natsu that beat them here and just waited. Zenaku blocked the kunai and stopped the ones with explosive tags as the women ran off trying to escape. Using the barrier hachi was about to follow her exact path sending a mantis one about half the size of a normal human at the women it flying out the window then running at amazing speeds trying to catch her. While the mantis ran a large buzzing red cloud also flew out of the hokages office flying high into the air then spreading out creating a thing red cloud over the village. The insects had come from the nest that hachi keeps in his office for both protection and just to make him feel at home in his office which is where he spends most of his time.

The mantis chased the women to the edge of the barrier she barely escaping the mantis retreated going to hachi's side. The mantis was about to the knees of natsu its eyes being a pale yellow with what looked like a light green film over it to keep the dirt out of its eyes while it runs. His arms were like scythe blades being about two and half feet in length and razor sharp they could easily cut a person in half with a single clean sweep. The rest of the mantises body was a lime green color.

"Well then it seems you are being followed. These chunin are about the same rank as my mantis but he is a little more deadly allow my mantis to escort you to the edge of the fire country i am sure he will make sure you get there safely."

He knew the mantis was very powerful but the main reason he wanted to the mantis to escort the ninja is because if something were to happen to it he would know and be able to send more bugs to aide them.

Bugs Used

Spoiler:

Suddenly Zenaku shouted 'MOVE' and pushed Natsu away. She fell some meters away from Zenaku and the others landing hard on the ground. Natsu's senses rapidly sharpened and she looked around to find the danger. Kunais shot out of the ground, injuring Zenaku. Another twenty Kunai, with explosive tags this time, shot towards where the people and Natsu were standing and the boy used his Fuuton Jutsu and blew them away. A quick movement catched Natsu's eye and she saw a woman running away towards the forest, saying that she 'almost had her.' ''That's. It.'' Natsu said, obviously angry that apparently everyone wanted to kill her. She stood up and ran after the woman. A large insect was faster than her but nonetheless, it let the woman escape. Natsu was going to run outside the barrier but stopped last minute, thinking that this woman would come back sooner or later.

She returned to Zenaku and the Hokage, while the latter was saying that the insect was going to escort them to the borders. ''Whatever.'' was all Natsu could comment to that statement, as she didn't care anymore about who would escort them. Of course having a chuunin would be more fun but anyway. ''Lets go, Zenny'' she said, looking into the forest. ''Maybe we could catch up to her...'' she mumbled to herself. Natsu wanted to find this woman, torture her until she got the information on who and why someone was trying to kill her and then cut her into tiny little pieces while she was still alive.

Zen gets up feeling the cut yet ignoring them. He yells to Natsu. Stop! Do not follow her! Zen stands looking at the surrounding forces. The hokage summoning a large insect about 4 feet tall. It was a mantis with large cutting scythe for hands. Zen places his hand on Natus's shoulder. We'll never catch her if she reaches the forest. I know you're strong, but sometimes the best way to defeat a strong enemy is to get them to follow you on your terms. It's best to leave her for now and utilize the previsions the hokage has provided.

He turns back to the hokage. I'm sorry to have brought this kind of trouble to konoha. We'll be leaving immediately. This is an Iwa matter. We'll utilize the time to reach the border by moving at an accelerated pace. I'll inform our kage of your support in this matter in my report. Zen looks at all the chuunin and wonders where the hell the jounin are or even the anbu. It didn't matter. Troops were troops.

He looked back at the area he was just laying and thought about what could of been the result had he not been fast enough to unleash his jutsu. Shaking his head he turns away and walks past Natsu. I'm sure you're familiar with increased speed missions. He places a pair of goggles over his eyes so noone can see and focuses chakra to his feet. Rushing off away from the village to the west from where the woman went. During his running he knew that activating his Sharingan with konoha shinobi able to see would raise questions.

As he ran through the open area he activated his sharingan to atleast increase his perception to keep a look out for possible traps as he sped through the land.

EXIT

Story picked up here.

Spoiler:

Hachi smiled at the ninja as he spoke to him apologizing to him.

"Oh no problem i actually loved having some type of visitors to konoha very rare the trouble that comes along with them is something i could care less about visitors are visitors."

He chuckled after he spoke looked at both the man and the women as they left at a quick pace he waved even though they didn't turn around and look at him he just had to wave to them.

"Goodbye have a safe trip!"

Hachi waited until the two went out of sight before he would return to his office the mantis not far behind him the bantis was able to keep up but wouldn't be right behind them.

(exit)

Zenaku placed a hand on Natsu's shoulder and told her that they would never catch her if she reached the forest. Natsu frowned by that remark but her facial expression turned emotionless as he told her that she was strong but that they had to wait for that woman to follow them. Natsu agrred by nodding and turned to the Hokage. Zenaku apologized for that incident to the Hokage. The Hokage wasnt bothered at all by what had happened. Instead, he was happy that something finally had happened in this boring village. ''Well, I suppose our fight will have to take place another time.'' Natsu said to the Hachi and turned away.

Zenaku focused chakra to his feet and so did Natsu. They both ran away at an incredible speed, leaving behind only dust. 'I'll find you...and torture you until you die.'
