Naruto and the others were currently resting at the house Yamato had made using his stupidly useful Wood release.
Yamato and Naruto would sometimes lock eyes and chuckle, which would confuse Sakura and Sai. It was as if they both had a secret they were keeping from them.
Kurama just muttered something along the lines of 'overpowered blonde brats.'
"Hey Naruto, are you going to use me in this fight? I haven't tasted blood in a long time and what's better than a sannin?" asked Amaya.
"Yeah, just be careful that it's the right sannin, we don't want to kill ero sennin or obaachan do we?" thought an amused Naruto.
His thoughts then went back to the conversation he and Sasuke had had in the morning.
---Flashback---
'Naruto!' came Sasuke's voice. Startled, Naruto first looked around him to see who had called him, then he remembered about the seal.
"Wow Naruto, you forgot about a 'masterpiece' seal of yours. You have reached a new level of stupid," teased Kurama.
"And you have reached a new level of sloth, but I never complain do I?" shot back Naruto as he then activated the seal.
"Yo Sasu-gay," said Naruto.
"Listen, a few days after the whole bridge shit, Yugito Nii, the two-tailed jinchuriki will be attacked," said Sasuke, and Naruto sat up now serious.
"We have to let her get kidnapped, and let them take out some of Two Tail's chakra, since that would keep trouble away from them. Then, I'll be the one to go rescue her," said Sasuke.
"B-bu-"
"No buts. They must not know about Itachi snitching out or something, so you can't just pop out everywhere. Since a few days ago I was attacked by Kakuzu, I can just beat them up in the guise of revenge. You don't do anything. I promise I won't let her die," said Sasuke.
In every country, except for Kiri, the kage and two of their trusted shinobi, preferably jinchuriki were informed about Sasuke. For Suna it was Kankuro and Temari, for Iwa it was Han and Kurotsuchi, and for Kumo, it was Yugito and Bee.
So, his appearance would make sense to Yugito and it wouldn't stir a lot of trouble.
"Tch... fine. But if things go south, you'll instantly summon me," said Naruto over the seal.
"Right. Got it, boss," joked Sasuke.
"We'll discuss this later when we meet," said Naruto.
"In front of Sakura and others?" asked Sasuke.
"Bitch you have Sharingan, I have Sharingan, let's put it to use."
---End---
'Well, I guess I can trust him on this one,' thought Naruto as he spun his kunai on his index finger using chakra.
Meanwhile, Sai was drawing the lake's view while thinking of a name for it.
'Hmm... looks like I haven't reached that stage yet. Even now I can't think of a name for it. That bastard Danzo...' thought Sai with a frown.
As for Sakura, she was practicing medical ninjutsu on fishes she caught in the lake.
And how did she catch them? She punched the water so hard that a lot of it splashed out with dozens of fish. Like how is it even possible? How strong is she?
Half of them went back into water and the other half was cooked by Yamato, who was anxious. Why anxious? Well, on his previous missions with Naruto and during the time he helped Jiraiya with Naruto's training, he found out that he tended to get violent in his sleep if he didn't have anything to cuddle, like pillows or Hinata.
Last time, Yamato was almost hit by a Rasengan. It was really scary.
'I need to reinforce the walls just in case... and I'll take the farthest room, with Sakura nearest to him. They both tend to get violent. I hope I survive tonight or else I won't be able to talk to the spy tomorrow,' thought Yamato as he cooked the fish.
"Hm... what's the smell? Oh, the fish... OH, THE FISH! FUCK, IT'S BURNING!" yelled Yamato as he removed it from the flame.
Naruto seeing this giggled as Sakura looked at him with annoyance. She was the one to catch the fish after all.
Sai was just amused as Yamato tried to extinguish the fire on the fish without having to ruin it with water.
"It's no use, the fish is ashes now," said Naruto in between giggles.
Yamato just hung his head as he discarded the fish.
"Wait! Remove the bones, they can still be used in broth for almost anything. That's very healthy for ya, ya know," said Naruto.
"R-right," said Yamato as he separated the bone from the skin using a kunai.
"And the unburnt flesh too, a little charring is okay, it gives a smoky flavor if cooked properly. Separate it from the burnt skin. And the eyes shouldn't be burnt. Separate that too, good for broth. And... yeah, that's about it," said Naruto.
"Wow, you know a lot about food," said Sai impressed.
"Yeah, I just don't wanna waste the fish," said Naruto.
'Hm... 100 kunai, 300 shurikens, 500 paper bombs, 60 paper flashes, 40 smokes. Is this much going to be enough?' thought Naruto as he checked his inventory.
"I know you're going to fight a sannin, but still, isn't this too much?" asked Kurama.
"Yeah, you have me," said Amaya.
'Oh, these aren't to kill that bastard. We know he'll just spit a new self out of his mouth... No, this is too fucking torture him. I am going to make him feel pain. He shall know pain,' replied Naruto to Amaya and Kurama, who shivered due to the amount of venom in Naruto's voice.
Somewhere in Ame, a redhead who was currently bound to some kind of seat sneezed.
"Huh? Is someone talking about pain? Whatever, the world shall know pain."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto and Sai were currently sitting. Naruto was using his sensor powers courtesy of Kurama, with 17 clones while other clones were setting up traps for Orochimaru.
Sai was using his ink rats to make sure that Naruto didn't miss any ninja or spy or anything and also that there were no Akatsuki members around.
"Alright, Wood Release: Transformation," said Yamato as he transformed into Sasori.
"Now for the voice," he said as he started to say 'Aa' in different pitches and tones.
"YES! Like this," said Sakura.
"Alright! I hate everything, especially waiting, I am always grumpy and angry. LET'S START THE MISSION!" said Yamato perfectly mimicking Sasori.
"Perfect! Sasori was just like this!" said Naruto excitedly.
"Alright. Since you're the leader, Naruto, what are the orders?" asked Saso- I mean Yamato. Sorry, I got confused.
"Well, we'll wait here. But if there's even slightest of trouble, I'll jump in. Sai and Sakura, you both will circle behind him or them if he comes with someone else, and we'll trap him or her, whoever the spy is, on the bridge.
'I know it's Kabuto and Orochimaru will be with him.'
As Yamato reached the bridge where a hooded figure was standing, he was greeted.
"It's been five years right, Sasori sama?" asked the person as he removed the hood.
"K-Kabuto!" gasped Sakura.
"This doesn't make sense, if he's a spy, how didn't Orochimaru notice? I mean the spies actually had some memory seal, and Orochimaru is almost as good as Jiraiya sama in seals," pondered Sai.
"Unless..." said Sakura as her eyes widened.
"Orochimaru found out about the seal and removed it," said Naruto grimly.
"Were you followed?" asked Yamato/Sasori.
"We're okay," he said as he looked behind.
As they were conversing, Naruto felt a presence. Well hidden for even an S-rank, it was almost on the level of Sakura, who could almost completely erase her presence due to low reserves and extreme control over it. However, this wasn't low.
"Orochimaru is here."
=================================================
Hello everyone, thank you for the I-can't-even-comprehend-anymore amount of reads(138K), it means a lot. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
Also, I am going to publish my solo leveling Deku either today or tomorrow, so if you guys are interested in either Solo leveling or MHA, do check it out. It's like my stress book, whenever I feel burned or tired or stressed, I just write in it.

Also, please vote, comment and share, and don't forget to check out my other books.
P.S.- I know I said that I would update To live once again, but I am just too bored of the Wave arc, so sorry everyone but you all would have to wait a little longer.
