An hour later, the border between the land of hot springs and the land of frost;
Hiruzen stood silently, looking towards the land of Frost and its snow-covered land and tree tops. Just behind him stood Jiraiya and Shikaku on each of Hiruzen's sides.
Behind them stood Naruto and Yugito, along with multiple Shinobi teams, standing further back.
They were all waiting for the Raikage and his shinobi to arrive so they could release Yugito back to Kumo.
Yugito looked at the backs of Jiraiya and Hiruzen. She knew them and had seen them from afar at the Chunin Exams years ago, but never this close. She only exchanged a few words with them when Naruto took her out of her holding tent.
"Sensei, they are a few seconds out," Naruto said as he felt the Raikage and his forces approaching fast.
Hiruzen just nodded without turning around, keeping his eyes towards the land of frost.
'S..sensei???!!!' Yugito thought to herself with shock, surprise, and disbelief filling her mind. She couldn't believe that Naruto was calling the third Hokage 'sensei.' She knows that the third Hokage had a team many years ago that became the legendary Sannin. To think that the aging Hokage had taken in another student was surprising news, especially someone that Yugito had met and fought.
A few seconds later, Yugito's line of thought was cut when the Raikage arrived, followed by Bee, Darui, Isamu, and other Kumo shinobi, including Yugito's teammates from her old genin team.
"Greetings, Hokage." A said with a blank tone.
"Raikage." Hiruzen greeted back with a subtle nod.
After the brief greeting, Hiruzen and A continued to look at each other in silence, which created a tense atmosphere in the area.
"Naruto," Hiruzen called.
Naruto, hearing his name called, turned towards Yugito and nodded before both of them started walking towards Kumo's forces.
Seeing them approach, Bee started to walk towards them until he, along with Naruto and Yugito, met halfway between the two forces.
"Hello, Bee-san," Naruto said with a polite smile.
"~Yo, Naruto. You brought Yugito.~" Bee greeted him with his usual tone.
Naruto nodded back before raising his right hand into a half-ram seal. The sudden formation of a hand seal seemed to surprise and panic some of those from Kumo.
Under everyone's gaze, Kanji appeared on Yugito's forehead before it seemed to disintegrate into nothing.
Yugito blinked for a moment as she felt her chakra return. Her Chakra was sealed within her body, preventing her from accessing it. But she felt something weird with her chakra.
"Why does my chakra feel weird?" Yugito asked as she looked at Naruto.
"There is another seal on your bijuu seal. It keeps you from accessing Nibi's chakra, and because of that, your whole chakra system and control are disturbed." Naruto said,
"You mean...." Yugito said as her face gained a small flush of embarrassment as she remembered how Naruto captured her.
"You know what to do," Naruto said
"Can't you release it like how you did with my chakra?" Yugito said with a slightly pleading and embarrassed tone.
"I am afraid not. I need direct contact to release this seal." Naruto said,
Yugito didn't reply right away, as she was embarrassed, while Bee looked between them with confusion.
"You can just go and let your own sealing corps try to unseal it, but I don't know how invasive and uncomfortable that would be." Naruto offered.
"Fine, fine. Just make it quick." Yugito relented with an embarrassed tone as she started to loosen up her blouse.
"~Can you tell me what is going on? I don't like standing around like a moron.~" Bee said,
"There is another suppressive seal on the Nibi's seal that I need to get rid of," Naruto replied as Yugito pulled up her blouse just enough to show her abdomen.
.....
"What is she doing?" Darui asked as he was confused by what he was seeing, along with most of Kumo's forces, especially Samui and Mabui.
"I believe that Konoha has sealed Yugito's access to her bijuu and is unsealing it now," Isamu said with a blank tone.
He, along with A, has expected that. No village will let a captured Jinchuuriki have access to their bijuu.
...…
"Try and push chakra to the seal area so it can become visible," Naruto instructed as he stretched his right hand and pushed chakra into his fingertips, making purple chakra visible with Kanji on each finger. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
Yugito tried to focus her chakra to her abdomen, which she was successful in doing, but with great effort, as her chakra control is all over the place.
Yugito's seal appeared, a two-point seal with a five-point seal appearing right on top of it.
"Get ready and clench your teeth," Naruto said as his hand rushed forward.
Yugito had enough time to brace herself just before Naruto's hand reached her seal.
Gogyō Kai (Five Elements release)
"Offffffff." Yugito was forced to breathe out as she hunched over. Naruto releasing the seal didn't hurt her, per se. It just gave her a very uncomfortable feeling that dissipated quickly.
'Kitten, kitten, can you hear me?' Came a voice from within Yugito that she hadn't heard for almost a week.
'I am here. Matatabi.' Yugito replied as she steadied on her feet before starting to pull her blouse back down.
'Finally. I have been cut off from you for who knows how long. You ok? What happened?' Matatabi asked with concern.
"Everything is good to go now. I assume." Naruto said, cutting Yugito's internal conversation with Matatabi.
"Yes, it is. I am just getting myself back together." Yugito said
"Good. Then we are done here. I hope next time we meet, it will be on much better terms." Naruto said with a polite smile.
"I hope so," Yugito said, returning the smile, while Bee nodded in agreement.
"See you later then," Naruto said before turning around and walking back towards Konoha's forces with Bee and Yugito doing the same and going back to Kumo's forces.
"I think we are done here. Your convoy will be released as soon as we return to Konoha." Hiruzen said to A as Naruto reached Konoha's lines.
"Agreed." A replied as Bee and Yugito reached Kumo's lines, with Yugito seemingly busy with an internal dialogue with Matatabi, who wanted to know what had happened since their connection was cut off.
With a mutual understanding reached, both forces pulled back from the border and towards their respective bases to get ready to return to their villages.
To be continued.
Guys and gals, show me those powerstones.
