Married To A What?!

Training went well and Sasuke was now able to keep up with Naruto when they sparred. Kakashi was impressed by how quickly Sasuke adapted to his enhanced physical capabilities. The younger Uchiha excelled in close-ranged combat with faster and sharper reflexes than even Naruto. Against a mage, that would be a good counterattack.

Kurama noticed that his brother's mate was better at close combat and ranged attacks so he got the golden fox to focus on countering magic. Although Sai wasn't able to recall a lot of details from when he was under the mind-control influence, he was able to give Kurama and Kakashi enough information for them to formulate a strategy to trick the snakes at their own game.

There was no doubt about it, they will employ mages against Naruto and Sasuke because those two foxes aren't very strong in magic. A surprise attack will surely take them out. However, that's when Lady Bunny came in. She made both Naruto and Sasuke lucky charms that will save them from one strike and after that, it depended on the fruits of their crash course training. One week of combat training was barely enough but it will have to do.

According to Sai's memory and the intel gathered by Kakashi's pups, Danzo was intending to use the old divide and conquer trick because they lacked the numbers. Kurama also guessed the motive Danzo had because countless of foxes have fallen prey to Danzo, including Menma, even when Hagoromo Gitsune was still the clan head. now that the ancient fox was dead, the fox clan was considered crippled. Danzo would never pass up the chance to exterminate the clan at its weakest.

Right now they had to guess which team Danzo was sending after them and in what which order.

"Sasuke and Naruto will be a pair, Danzo must have considered that already. the question lies in if Danzo knows about Mei's involvement. Tsunade's cover was exposed when she broke the mind-control spell. they would never pit a mage against a mage."

Kurama agreed with Kakashi's observations. "It's better to have a magic proficient user with each pair. You should go with Tsunade. I will go alone."

The alpha wolf disagreed. "No, you will most definitely be Danzo's target. You should go with Tsunade."

Kurama shook his head. "I need you to watch over our mates. I can handle Danzo or at least hold him off for long enough before reinforcements arrive."

"You have reinforcements?"

The Hunter grinned. "The tanuki clan that Naruto befriended offered their assistance. However, they'll take some time to arrive. I left the contact token with Mei."

"Who do you think we will be facing if I went with Tsunade?"

Kurama shrugged. Sai didn't have a clue but according to Kiba, they smelled some dark art practitioner in the city. It wasn't someone they knew but Tsunade seemed to have a bone to pick with that magician. The witch's mood got fouler and took to drinking more than before. At the rate that she was drowning herself in alcohol, Kakashi didn't know if they could count on her in a fight.

"Let's just go with this for now. The priority will be Itachi and Iruka. Mei will be with them so it should be alright... never underestimate the power of luck."

The alpha wolf threw his head back with laughter. Kurama was still sore about betting with mei and losing half his possessions. Tsunade won the match for the very first time and the Hunter just knew that Mei was behind it no matter how much the rabbit denied it.
