Chapter 76: CH 76
Naruto shook his head, "They were about to tie me up. But if they had pushed the issue with that then all bets would have been off and we would have been fighting." He looked around, "Where's Genma?"
Izumo pointed up, "Genma's with Elder Mitokado. He's speaking with the Raikage's advisors right now." Samui pushed Naruto forward, "So the Raikage is free. Good, we can settle this now."
Naruto slapped the girl's hands off of him, "Hands off. I'd say that this settles what I'm doing here. I mean, this is my team after all. But if you want to continue to make obsessive asses out of yourselves then by all means, let's go."
With that they all went up the stairs and stopped in front of a secretary's desk. After a short word with the woman there they all entered the office of the most powerful man in the country. A massive man seated behind the desk in his traditional kage robes looked up from whatever was on his desk, "Yugito... Samui, Omoi, Karui. What are you all doing here surrounding this Konoha ninja." Karui pushed Naruto forward, causing him to glare back at the girl, 'You're so lucky that this guy would kill me before I could even get a shot off edgewise or I would backhand you right here, right now.'
Omoi shook his head at Karui's upfront abuse of the kid. Samui sighed at her teammate's brash action, "Raikage-sama, we found this Konoha ninja overlooking one of our training sessions. Being that we are trained by Kirabi-sensei we figured he may be trying to steal some of Kumo's hidden techniques so we elected to escort him here."
Naruto snorted, "If by escort you mean give me an ultimatum to either fight all of you and get my ass thrown in prison for sure, or be dragged through town like a goddamned prisoner of war, then yes you 'escorted' me here." The Raikage shot his eyes to Naruto. Despite the physically imposing size of the man, Naruto still wouldn't give him any tells that he was actually intimidated. I mean what's the worst thing that could happen? They kill him?
The Raikage rubbed his white mustache, "I am the Yondaime Raikage of Kumogakure. My name is A boy. What is your name?"
Naruto looked at the man in the eye, "Naruto Uzumaki, chunin of Konohagakure no Sato, ninja registration number 012607."
A raised his hand to stop him from talking, "Enough Uzumaki-san. What are you doing in my village? Are you conducting espionage under the guise of a diplomatic mission?"
