Izan was out cold. Nothing that Yamato, the villagers or his teammates did, could wake up the exhausted and injured 7 year old, who had been out for a few hours."Yknow, with how he acts, I forget that Izan is only seven years old. Only at times when he's asleep or injured like this is when I remember, he's only a kid." said Mitsuno Nara, one of Izans teammates."Yeah. But still, how is a KID more powerful than Yamato sensei?!?" said Naka Shimura, Izans second teammate."You forget, he spent hours using those shadow clones of his for training, all while training his body." Yamato chimed in, causing Mitsuno and Naka to jump when he appeared out of nowhere."While it is true that Izan is stronger than me at such a young age, he's had to do seven times the amount of work that a normal shinobi would have to put in to reach genin level, and he increased the difficulty by 3 times each time he reached his goal. This isn't the first time I've seen him, but this isn't the last either."
"So... how long is it gonna take for me to get better Jorō?" Izan inquired the spider lady in his mind space. "Well, judging by your chakra levels, the severity of your wounds, and the fact you were right on the edge of using an EIGHTH TAIL....you will be out for a few days." Jorōgumo replied."It's lucky it isn't worse, but you took the brunt of your own jutsu. which by your standards. would be A-Rank in strength. With all that being said, it'll take a while to fully heal your lungs, so after this mission of yours, I need a week or two to fix them."
"What am I supposed to do then Jorō?" Izanw hined."Rest you - I'm going to wake you up now, use 7 tails immediately, grab your teammates, and get back to Konoha as fast as you can, Izan."
All three of Izans teammates were startled when Izan awoke and jolted straight up, sharingan activated and manifesting 7 tails of his chakra cloak before one wrapped around each of them and Izan launched out of the house they were staying in, speeding off to Konoha.
"Izan, what has you this spooked?" A very serious Yamato asked. "It's not me that's spooked, it's Jorōgumo...shit....it looks like I need 8 tails. Get ready, guys." Izan stated grimly, shifting his mask off his face to breathe better.
"Will you be able to control yourself?"
"Hopefully," was all Izan said as a ln 8th tail started forming.
Three minutes. That's all he could control himself for. That's when Yamato stepped in and knocked Izan out with one move before scooping him up and going as fast as he could with the Naka and Mitsunoro with him. Things were going great until that point. Now, there were a bunch of Ninja after them, and with Izan down, they wouldn't be able to last long in a fight, not against this many Jonin. Their only hope was to get to the village in time or to stumble upon a Konoha team. Things were really looking bleak.
**Narutos Perspective**
(Yes, we get Naruto)
"Aww, c'mon, this mission is boring," the familiar blue-eyed, blonde-haired ninja with whiskers on his cheeks and a right arm that had bandages wrapping around it, being hidden by a black jacket.
"We were sent on this mission for a reason, Naruto. Lord Kakashi wants us to find those ninja, and to get them back to their villages," a pale, black haired scroll carrying ninja replied.
"I know, but this is more boring than what Kakashi-sensei said it would be. I want action, I'm tired of being bored, believe it!"
"Naruto, you're going to get to have some action. I'm sensing multiple negative emotions nearby. And, a tailed beast," a dark voice chimed in. "There seems to be at least 50 following a group of four."
"Finally, I can blow off some steam, thanks, Kurama!" Naruto started to race towards the large group of ninja. "C'mon Sai!"
" Naruto, wait up!" *the other ninja, now being revealed to be Sai, quickly followed.
