The Forsaken
“Have you anything to say in argument for your innocence?” Tsunade could barely hold herself back from hitting this creature before her. He who had the nerve to dessert his team and abandon his allegiance to Konoha, killing an elite jonin in the process. In her eyes it was he who was the monster, a cold-hearted killer, little better than the other two. And the village called Naruto a demon. No, the true demons lay within the hearts of those to stubborn to accept what they were gifted with, blinded by rage, greed, vengeance, hate. Those were the true monsters of Konohagakure no Sato, and this boy – this thing – was a perfect example of one.
Across the room from Tsunade, though out of the Hokage’s vision stood Danzo, smirking discretely to himself. This nukenin – Souh, was it? He presented a new opportunity to demonstrate the council’s power over that woman. Eyes shifting from the kage to another person, Danzo grimaced. Sai was becoming too sporadic, too uncontrollable. The boy had outgrown his use, he was becoming attached to the Kyuubi boy and his team, and Danzo still needed someone to be his eyes and ears. ‘Offer him his freedom and he’ll be mine. Already he is wary of the demon-container, the boy will make a decent agent.’
“Hokage-sama,” Stepping forwards, the council head could barely hide his smirk from his rival for power. “You stated that he is part of a clan of which very few members continue to exist. If that is true, Tsunade-sama, then you have no right to forfeit his life. The council alone holds sway in this matter and as the head, I insist that the boy be released into my care.”
“Danzo. You are treading on d–”
“Tsunade-hime, report from Anbu squad 6!”
“Shinuze! Can’t you see we’re having an important meeting at this point in time? Tell them to come back.”
“Urgent news, Tsunade-hime. Konoha is under attack, northern gate. And Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, and Hyuuga Neji are missing.”
“What?!?!? Kakashi, Gai, find all the jonins you can and head north.”
“Hai!”
“Sakura,” Tsunade stared steadily at her apprentice. “Gather a team. Search and rescue mission. Authorization to kill.”
“But–!!!!!!!”
“No ‘buts’, Naruto.”
“Souh goes with them.”
“I will not allow you to release a nu–”
“They may kill him should he try to escape.”
“Fine, but this discussion is not over yet, Danzo.”
“Very well, Hokage-sama.”
(Haruno-6
Sakura, Temari, Naruto, Nachi, Shio, Sai
Trying to give everyone a character to fight with, yet not making it too much work. As who's close by and which users are still RPing.
SD - 2 Characters
scarecrow - 1
Shinobi - 3 (Eh? I figured Sai had to come if Naruto and Sakura were...)
And well, Sakura's in charge because Tsunade trusts her... Not that she doesn't trust the others....)
