Story Start
Hiroshi Inuzuka was tired, tired of wars, tired of battle and tired of the cycle of hatred that consumed the world, at 64 he had seen more death and destruction from the ninja world than he could stand, memories of his fallen teammates, of his wife, his child and his ninken haunted him every night in his dreams, but as he was an Inuzuka, he could not take the cowards way out, nor could he retire, such would be traitorous to the memories of his fallen family and comrades. But Hiroshi had a plan, it wasn't much of a plan, but he had bought and read and even stolen what he could on Fuinjutsu till he was able to create his masterpiece.
Hiroshi decided to check the seals one last time, he wasn't the best Fuinjutsu practitioner in the world, compared to seal masters such as the Fourth or Jiraiya, but he wasn't trying to become a combat sealer, or even a seal merchant, he had just one goal: Escape!
Catching a error on one of the lines, he quickly changed one of the lines of the seal, but otherwise everything was perfect, the seal would take him and everything else in a five metre radius to the realm of the summons, there he would prostate himself at the nearest summon boss for sanctuary and then would live a simple but rewarding lifestyle working for whatever summon boss he ended up supplicating to. Dreams of living a relaxing lifestyle caring for the dog summon clan, or maybe even the wolf summon clan briefly went through his mind, he almost stopped feeling guilty about abandoning Konoha, and he dearly hoped that the Hokage would forgive him, but he simply could not live the ninja lifestyle anymore, he could not take another life of a young ninja whose only fault in life was being born in the wrong village.
He thought that the seal he had drawn was genius, it would slowly drain the excess natural chakra in the surrounding area until it would have enough energy to send him off so he didn't have to rely on his meagre Chunin reserves, so he stood in the centre of the seal, with supplies for a month journey, and waited for the seal to activate.
Naruto was excited, hell he was ecstatic, energised and even aflame with joy! Today was the day, today he would prove himself to the village, today he would defeat all obstacles in his way and become Chunin. He would become a respected ninja and nobody, not teme, not that jerk Kiba and most definitely not that asshole Neji would be able to doubt his magnificence with that beautiful Chunin vest wrapped around him.
He would be the greatest ninja ever, saving princesses, defeating crime bosses, destroying demons and saving the day, they would beg to make him Hokage once he saved the world, they would shout his name from the streets of Konoha to the Daimyo's court and carve his face into the mountain.
But first he had to defeat that asshole Neji Hyuga, that bloody pompous prick was sitting eight seats across him, with that damn emotionless Hyuga Frown, and those soulless white eyes (he didn't mind Hinata's eyes, but Neji was a jerk, so he got stuck with soulless).
Turning back to watch the crowd slowly trickle into the stadium, he hoped that today went off perfectly, he even saw the Fire Daimyo enter with his entourage of concubines, diplomats and samurai proudly marching towards a private pavilion.
And there was the Hokage, entering surrounded by ANBU, the village elders and some old fart with bandages on one arm, Naruto waved excitedly at the Hokage, who saw his waving and gave a wave back, grinning like a maniac Naruto sat back down waiting for everything to start when suddenly a Jonin appeared with a swirl of leaves.
"c'mon kids, its time to enter the arena, the introductory ceremony is about to begin... hang on, where is the Uchiha?".
Shino turned to the Jonin, "I'm afraid Sasuke has not turned up, and I believe he has not been in this village for an entire month,why? because my insects have not detected his chakra all month".
"...huh, well, all of you, follow me".
Mai Sunagai was nervous, not because she was afraid of attacking Konoha, nor because she was worried about the lives of the Ninja under her command, as 2nd Squad Capitan of the Suna Jonin Squad, 3rd division. She was nervous about the fact that her Suna nin had absolutely no control about when they were attacking, who they were attacking or even how they were going to attack.
If it were up to her, they would be assaulting at night time from atop their silly mountain, with Wind Mistresses providing gale force winds to weaken the ramparts, and using powerful ninjitsu to keep the Konoha nin at bay while they sieged the town, but no, they were in broad daylight, with half of their forces split up, and waiting on the traitor Orochimaru to send the signal to summon his pet snakes before assaulting the damn gates. Granted snakes were definitely deadly, but as summons they could be countered by powerful summons on the opposing side, and granted Intel said that the perverted Sanin Jiraiya was supposedly in Tea country trying to find an already abandoned Oto base, but the bastard was hard to find, and harder to catch (Damn that bastard for that one time in the sauna in Cotton country).
All in all she was most definitely not comfortable with her current situation, nor the fact that they were relying on someone with a proven track record of betrayal (they had all heard of the rumours about Oto). Orochimaru was most definitely the epitomisation of a snake, quick to betray and even quicker to kill, also he was pale and slimy, and that tongue. ew.
Mai wished she knew what exactly the 4th Kazekage was thinking but at the end of the day she was a loyal Suna Shinobi and if she was ordered to take her nin to breach the gates, that was exactly what she was going to do, peace loving leaf nin be damned.
Well, looks like everyone was ready, the Genin hopefuls were standing in a nice line, the sun was shining, and everyone who was someone in the land of fire had turned up today, mused Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 3rd Hokage of Konohagakure. It was looking to be a fine day as he got to show off the future of his village battle amongst each other for the title of Chunin, it was definitely looking to be a fine day, but he knew that somewhere Orochimaru was probably going to ruin everything, that bastard was somewhere and he had deliberately indicated that he was going to mess with the Hidden Leaf Chunin selection exams somehow, which was definitely a worry.
Hiruzen turned to one of his bodyguards "Have you found Sasuke yet?" hopefully the snake hadn't played his hand just yet.
The Jonin leant towards him "We have a few ANBU teams looking around but... no luck..." leaning closer he whispered "could Orochimaru have already... if so, finding him will be..."
"I understand..." he sighed, it seems like even his guard was worried about the snake today, if only he never let that bastard leave, even if he was once his favourite.
A rather potent chakra signature approached from his left, ah, it was Kazekage dono here to witness his children's defeat at the hands of Konoha nin, how lovely.
"Oh... well well... Kazekage Dono, you must be tired from the journey"
"Not at all" the Kazekage replied, muffled by a face-mask for some reason... odd, he had never worn one before in front of him, maybe he had received a horrific facial scar... "good thing its held here this time, while your still young, the trip may have been too much for you, Hokage Sama" Also odd, he'd never named him with respect before... "Maybe its time you decided on the fifth?"
Ugh, that jerk sure did love those thinly veiled insults, but still he had an image to maintain, keeping his grandfatherly act up he decided to ignore those insults for now, faking amusement he replied "Ha-ha. please don't treat me like an old man, I intend to do this for another five years" like hell, if only there were competent ninja that he could palm the hat off to, if only Tsunade or Jiraiya would come back to take the hat off him, but he hadn't seen Tsunade for years, and Jiraiya had openly denied him about this last week... still, it was time to get this show on the road, so to speak, so he started to stand up.
"Well now, lets begin" he then stood up, stretching the kinks out of his well worn back as he waited for the crowds to notice that he was ready to begin, soon enough the dull roar slowly died out into a quiet murmur, which looked like the best he was going to get out of them...
"Thanks Everyone for coming to... The Hidden Leaf Chunin Selection Exam!... We will now start the main tournament matches... Between the eight participants who made it through the preliminaries."
"Please stay... And watch until the end!" And with that the crowd broke into cheering as the Chunin hopefuls stood proudly.
"if its eight..." the Kazekage murmured "one seems to be missing" and of course there was, where the hell was Sasuke anyway, he desperately wanted to send for more ANBU to find the brat but with the Kazekage sitting there...
There was a sudden shudder, and another sudden drain on his chakra, the Jonin guards drew their weapons as they tried to understand what was happening, the Kazekage suddenly stood up as he frantically tried to look for something
"ANBU, what the hell is this, what is the meaning of this" Shouted Sarutobi
"We don't know Hokage Dono, but something is rapidly draining my reserves"
The Kazekage started running, as if there was something he knew about this and was trying to escape it as soon as possible... Feeling suspicious Sarutobi decided to detain him
"Stop the Kazekage, he might be the one behind this attack" however none of the ANBU were able to leave, as most of them fainted on the spot, however, so too did the Kazekage, as it seemed like his very body started to deform and deteriorate.. wait, he knew that face!
"OROCHIMARU, What have you done!"
The unveiled snake sanin turned around with visible strain, as his face started to melt and deform "argh... old monkey... i don't know what the hell this is... but you wont get... away with it", slowly the snake melted into a horrific snake beast that seemed to be made of thousands of white snakes.
Collapsing on one knee, with his vision slowly fading Sarutobi knew that he wouldn't be able to keep hold of consciousness "My apprentice, what the hell have you done to yourself" he whispered as he finally collapsed on the ground, turning his face to the sky, he saw strange seals start to write themselves into the sky and a strange glow start to emanate off the village.
Sarutobi's last conscious thought was that he hoped that his village would survive whatever depraved attack that it was about to face.
The Suna forces started panicking the moment they felt the wave of energy as it started to drain chakra from them, half the forces immediately started collapsing, while the other half stared in shock as a great blue barrier immediately formed around their struggling comrades, strange Fuinjutsu seals snaking around the blue dome. They also stared in shock as the tree's inside of the dome started to visibly wilt before their very eyes. Mei Sunagai was but one of the victims inside the sphere, her third in command, who stood behind her, was literally bisected by the barrier falling apart as half of him fell directly on top of her.
Holding back rising bile, she was able to push the remains away and was trying to make sense of what the hell was happening, but mainly she was collapsing from the tremendous drain of chakra that was knocking everyone out around her, her last though was wondering if they were found out, or whether this was in fact Orochimaru plan all along
Hiroshi Inuzuka was tired, however this time it was not simply because he was tired of wars, tired of battle, and tired of the endless cycle of hatred, instead he was tired because he was quickly being drained of a tremendous amount of chakra, the seals around him were going absolutely haywire, and they were definitely not restricting themselves to five metres around him, his final thoughts were both what the hell was happening, and whether he... no, whether the village would survive whatever calamity he had brought on them
Naruto ended up being the last person who was able to keep himself conscious as the shimmering orb drained most of his chakra from his body, but as sudden as it started, it suddenly stopped, and with a great blinding flash everything outside of the blue shimmering field suddenly disappeared, what was now outside was chaos, literal mind-melting chaos, with shimmering and melting colours mashing and bending in a symphony of madness. But he could see that the village was travelling towards a particular swirl of chaos, a small beacon of light surrounded by a angry red green black mass of nonsensical madness, slowly, the bright light got closer and closer until Naruto had to close his eyes as the light blinded everything else out.
*BWWOOOOOOOOMmmmm*
The sudden sound reverberated in his bones as sections of the stadium started to crumble from the vibrations, as the light dimmed Naruto chanced opening his eyes again, only to see once again a blue sky above him... was this a strange dream?... no, everyone was unconscious still and the air suddenly smelled stale and dusty, if he had ever been to a desert, that was the smell he would have described the smell as, but there was a dangerous undercurrent, something that he could not place but knew was evil.
But Naruto was not one for introspection, nor was he even that much of a heavy thinker, quickly dismissing the strange sights and smells, Naruto ran to check whether or not Jiji was ok (after all, the Hokage was old, really really old).
Sunpetal Mistwalker was an oddball, everyone said that about her, when she had joined up with the Cenarion Circle after completing her druid training, she had immediately requested Desolace, the Night Elves that she had admitted that to stared at her like she had grown tentacles and was proclaiming the return of the old gods. What they didn't know was that her tribe had originated from Desolace before they were run off by the Centaur, and she was hoping to heal the wounded and tortured ground, unfortunately, while the Cenarion Circle did have a base set up in those tortured lands, it was at Marshal's Refuge, a human outpost set up just after the "Third War" when the demons were retreating from Ashenvale to wherever they could flee from the amassed armies.
Of course, being a Tauren, she wasn't allowed there, let alone the fact that as a member of the Cenarion Circle she was not allowed to be a part of any military, meaning that she was not a member of the "Horde". In fact she did not really feel any membership of that horde, as her family were once staunch ally of the Grimtotems, that is until recently as they kidnapped her aunt a year ago. Sunpetal did not even know if she was alive anymore, or whether the Grims were keeping her as some sort of political prisoner, or Mu'sha forbid, some sick kind of breeding stock.
Shaking her head away from such depressing thoughts, she instead looked towards the depressing ground past her tent atop Ghost Walkers Post, in front of her was the Kodo burial ground, where those noble beasts for some reason decided to end their lives amongst their dead kin, no one knew why exactly the kodo decide to die there, and theories abound even today.
Sunpetal however felt a strange sensation, a curious feeling as if the world was anticipating a monumental change, or a great calamity, the clouds in the sky started to whirl and encircle until suddenly they dissipated in a great burst, Sunpetal could not in fact remember Desolace without those depressing gray-green clouds, and the sudden burst of blue skies were a shock to all the Tauren at the post, however, she did not have much time to think as the gathering sensation suddenly spiked in power as an energy started to form just past the kodo graveyard, a massive dome of blue sprang up at what she guessed was Mannaroc Coven...
Shit.
"That is where the demons are, someone get on a windrider and warn Thunderbluff, there might be another demon invasion..." everyone around however were staring dumbly at the shimmering blue sphere, Sunpetal snorted in frustration "QUICKLY!"
Even that did not seem to get their buts moving, snarling in frustration she morphed her body into the shape of a bird, something, that, while not standard Cenarion Circle, was taught to those who proved themselves, or failing that, taught to the brave and stupid as a way to try and save their lives. Of course they taught her the form after she stated her desire to help mend Desolace. She couldn't even decide if they were being jerks about it or not, but at least now she would be able to get a warning to Thunderbluff, even if she had to do it herself.
After gaining some altitude, she was suddenly buffeted by ferocious winds, that were slowly but surely dragging her towards that ethereal orb of what she sincerely believed was the prelude to yet another demonic invasion on Azeroth. The orb was quickly becoming more and more solid as the wind became rougher and rougher and she hoped that she would live from getting plastered against that deadly looki...
*BWWOOOOOOOOMmmmm*
A great blinding light temporarily stunned the poor bird and she tried valiantly to ride against the sudden shock-waves that were tormenting her, slowly she was able to regain her eyesight...
...
...
what the... in the name of An'she what was going on, where what was undoubtedly going to be a great demonic assault force, instead she was greeted to the sight of a great town, which looked faintly Night Elven in construction, and a mountain range that was definitely not the mountain range that was there before, and were those four faces.. human?
looking around she saw an even greater mystery, instead of demoniacally scarred lands she was greeted to the sight of beautiful greenery and boundless trees, cutting off dramatically to the otherwise normal Desolace scenery.
Sunpetal was torn, on one horn she wanted to get closer and inspect what the hell was this new city and where the hell had it come from, but on the other hand she also wanted to warn Thunderbluff, her grudgingly admitted racial capital, about the otherworldly invaders...
on closer inspection... there were indeed many humans strewn about the new village, dressed in outlandish fashion that looked absolutely like nothing she had ever seen before, but still... humans.
Taking one last glance, she turned to fly towards Thunderbluff.
