Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Kakashi looked at the two Jounins and stepped forward. He handed them a letter and said, "The Hokage has assigned us the mission to escort the prisoner and carry the dead bodies back to Konoha."

Renjiro and Seiichi nodded. Renjiro took out a scroll and handed it to Kakashi and said, "The bodies of the 9 dead ones are in this scroll."

Kakashi took the scroll and stored it properly. Seiichi got up and said, "Follow me. I'll take you to the prisoner."

Kakashi and his squad followed Seiichi and Renjiro. They entered a small room. At the center of this room was a chair. A woman was sitting in it. Her arms were tied to the arms of the chair. Her legs were missing. A gag was stuffed in her mouth. Her head had dropped down.

She was being watched by 2 chunins. One of them was a medical ninja.

Renjiro said, "We investigated her a bit. Her name is Chou and she is a Jounin from the Sakai clan. She can use the boil release."

Seiichi added, "We injected her with anesthesia, but her body is very resistant to it. She wakes up after 2 hours and has to be injected again."

Kakashi nodded and said, "That won't be an issue. Can you wake her up?"

The medical ninja stepped forward and began waking up.

He looked at one of his squad members and said, "Ferret, put her to sleep."

After some time, Chou woke up. She looked at Renjiro and the Anbu ninjas. A terrified look appeared in her eyes. Itachi, who was the Anbu with the codename Ferret, stepped in front of her and looked into her eyes.

Chou looked at the Anbu in front of her as his eyes turned red. Itachi cast a Genjutsu on her, making her fall into a deep sleep.

Itachi stepped back and said, "It's done. She won't wake up for a day."

Kakashi nodded. He looked at Renjiro and said, "We will be taking her. Thank You for completing the mission. There are further orders from Lord Hokage. Her capture shouldn't be talked about.

Discuss with everyone who knows that she has been captured and tell them to not talk about it to anyone. If they have already spoken to others or anyone knows about her capture, then chat with them as well and impose a gagging order. Lord Hokage has said that this is very important."

Seiichi replied, "My men haven't met with anyone else. But, probably, everyone in the outpost knows about her. I will talk with them and impose a gagging order about this."

Kakashi nodded and said, "Thank You."

One of Kakashi's Anbu subordinates untied Chou and carried her. Kakashi and his squad took their leave and left for Konoha.

Fujin and his teammates would remain ignorant about the terrible fate awaiting the Jounin captured by them. They slept peacefully as Chou was carried to Konoha.

They woke up early the next morning and assembled with Renjiro. Seiichi got up early as well to bid farewell to them. He said, "See you later Renjiro. Stop by here while returning to Konoha."

Renjiro nodded, "Sure. We could use a good sleep."

Seiichi looked at the kids and smiled, "Take care all of you. Come back safely."

Mieko replied, "Don't worry, we will complete the mission in no time."

Fujin nodded and added, "Just make that roasted meat again when we are back!"

Seiichi sweatdropped thinking, 'These three ate half my share yesterday!'

He smiled and said, "I'll be sure to hunt some wild beasts for you guys."

They said goodbyes and left for the Land of Hot Water.

While Team Renjiro was headed to the Land of Hot Water, Kakashi and his squad returned to Konoha. They imprisoned her in the T&I department. Ibiki waited with them in the prison.

Understanding the importance, Hiruzen himself showed up. Seeing Hiruzen, all four Anbu respectfully greeted him, "Lord Hokage."

Hiruzen nodded and looked at Chou. He looked at Itachi and said, "Wake her up from the Genjutsu and place her under a new one. I want to interrogate her."

At that time, another person entered the prison. He was an old man. His right arm was concealed within and hanging inside his black robe. His right eye was bandaged.

Hiruzen looked at him and asked, "Danzo, why are you here?"

Danzo looked at Chou and said, "I heard about taking a prisoner from Kiri. Continue your interrogation, I will discuss it with you later."

Hiruzen nodded and looked at Itachi. Itachi stepped forward and dispelled the genjutsu. Chou woke up and looked up. However, Itachi put her in another Genjutsu. After she fell into the Genjutsu, Itachi removed the gag stuffed in her mouth.

He looked at Hiruzen and said, "You can ask her questions, Lord Hokage."

Hiruzen looked at Ibiki and said, "Ask her about why they entered the Land of Fire."

Ibiki nodded and asked Chou, "Why did your squad enter the Land of Fire?"

Chou answered, "My team was on a mission in the Land of Water. Unfortunately, we were discovered by a squad from Mizukage's faction. They chased us relentlessly. We clashed a few times and were injured. The chase brought us close to the Land of Fire and we entered it hoping to find a good hiding place till they left us. I didn't think they would chase us inside the Land of Fire as well."

Ibiki noted what she said. He asked, "What was your mission?"

Chou answered, "We got information that the Karatachi family had documents and maps that showed where all the ninjas in the Mizukage faction were deployed. Since the family head of Karatachi was in a battle, we got a mission to steal those documents."

The mission parameters surprised everyone in the room. Danzo immediately wanted to get his hands on those documents.

Ibiki asked, "Did you complete the mission?"

Chou answered, "Yes, we stole the documents successfully."

Ibiki asked, "Where are those documents?"

Chou answered, "Since we were being chased, we hid them in a secure location in the Land of Water."

Ibiki asked, "Will anyone be collecting those documents?"

Chou answered, "There is one ninja who checks that spot frequently. By now, it would have been collected and reached the hands of the Sakai clan patriarch."

Ibiki asked her where the secure location was and noted it down.

Ibiki asked, "Did you see the locations where the forces of the Mizukage faction are located?"

Chou answered, "No."

After asking, he looked at Hiruzen. Hiruzen said, "Ask her about the situation of the Sakai clan, other bloodline clans and the current state of the conflict. Also, ask her about their current hideouts and where the clans are located."

Danzo added, "Also ask her if they have hidden some family members in safe locations."

Ibiki nodded and began questioning. He ended up questioning Chou for over three hours. Konoha got information about the locations of bloodline clans, locations of some of their secret hideouts, the number of ninjas they had, the losses they faced, the losses they inflicted upon the Mizukage faction, skills and weaknesses of their strongest fighters and some other miscellaneous information.

While the information she provided wasn't complete, she ended up providing a lot of valuable information to Konoha. The rebel faction of Kirigakure would have never imagined that their mission to steal information from the Mizukage faction would result in their secrets getting exposed to Konoha!
