In Kumogakure A (Fourth Raikage) looked at a Bingo Bock entry his shinobi brought secretly from Konoha.
it was a page of Eiji:
STATUS: Alive
AFFILIATION: Konohagakure (former), Rouge
RANK: S-rank
SEX: Male
D.O.B: September 28
AFFINITY(IES): Wind Release, Senjutsu
HEIGHT: 150 cm - 152,5 cm
WEIGHT: 41 kg - 43 kg
OTHER: Highly dangerous. Do not approach unless of being Anbu rank or higher. Despite the appearance, the individual is sharp and calculating. Highly proficient in Kenjutsu and able to enter Sage Mode. Be aware of the extraordinary regeneration ability, which makes killing him difficult.
Next was a picture of Eiji staring in the air dumbly while picking his nose.
"..." - A
"Lord Raikage, how do we proceed? Even though he was only Hokage for a few days, he may have some information, we could..." - C
A slammed his fist on the table: "DESPITE APPEARANCE?! THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT!!"
C sighed: "I agree with that, but more important than his appearance, what should we do?"
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
A calmed down and started to think.
Kumogakure had the history of always trying to kidnap shinobis from other villages, but an S-rank who was Hokage (albeit only for a few days) wouldn't be easy to kidnap, to say the least.
They would need to send a huge amount of manpower, for a former Hokage who might not have had the time to learn any significant secrets as Hokage in his short "career".
The risk was way too high to justify the possible reward.
"We won't do anything. Let's just have Konoha try to deal with their own mess...this will be beneficial for us as well." - A
"Understood." - C glanced at Eiji page while thinking: 'What a waste of such rare young talent. I'm sure Konoha's elders must feel like crying...'
After crying the whole night, Sakura made her mind up.
Instead of always relying on others, she will try to get stronger herself!
So that in the future, she can help to save Sasuke from Orochimaru.
She knocked on the door, of the "new" Fith Hokage Tsunade (Eiji wouldn't have his face ingrained in the Hokage Rock...)
"Come in!" - Tsunade
"I have a request." - Sakura
"What is it?" - Tsunade
"Please...make me your apprentice!" - Sakura
"Haruno Sakura...I've heard from Kakashi that you're intelligent and that you have a strong spirit. Alright...from now on, I won't go easy on you!" - Tsunade
"O...OK!!"
A carrier pigeon delivered news of Sasuke being captured by Orochimaru's henchman to Jiraiya who was currently training Naruto.
"So he really moved, huh...a lot of stuff happened in Konoha lately...Hey, Naruto! We will pick up the pace of your training!" - Jiraiya
A sweating Naruto cried out in disbelieve: "WHAT?! I'M GONNA DIE AT THIS RATE!! HEY, IT MUST BE BECAUSE OF THE LETTER YOU GOT!!"
"You're right...Sasuke...it looks like he was captured by Orochimaru." - Jiraiya
"!" - Naruto got instantly serious.
"HEY, PERVY SAGE!!! WE NEED TO RESCUE HIM!!!" - a panicked Naruto
"Calm down, as I said I researched Orochimaru's "Immortality Jutsu" and he won't be able to use Sasuke's body as a container for his soul for at least three years...so Sasuke's life won't be in danger for that time. So we will just proceed with the training! Rushing in with your current strength will just get you killed! After three years you will be stronger and we will safe Sasuke then, alright?" - Jiraiya
"...alright." - Naruto proceeded with his training while thinking: 'Just wait Sasuke. After three years I'll save you!'
