Sasuke Hunt down Team: The Fall of Konoha
Special assignment in the midst of war
Thousands of white Zetzus approached the Second Division of the Allied Shinobi forces. Hinata and Neji were back to back performing Eight Trigrams Empty Wall Palm in order to keep the enemies away, such jutsu required great amounts of chakra so they were about to die of exhaustion. Kurotsuchi used her Lava Release to aid them while Karui led the retreat, but the rest of the division predicted an awful end for the war, they were pessimists and had desisted from fighting long ago. The byakugan users and the Tsuchikage's granddaughter were only buying time to escape.
"Lady Hinata…" Neji said gasping for air. "I can keep them busy alone, the clan needs you back at the village. Please, go to the headquarters."
"I utterly refuse to abandon you." She managed to say obviously dizzy. "We will delay the enemy until our comrades are safe." She gave him a tired but sincere smile. The Hyuga boy nodded and continued to repel the white Zetzus. He was suffering too much with that war but will never give up because Naruto instructed him in his way of ninja.
Neji saw his cousin fight fiercely to defend her teammates and noted how much she had changed since their failure in the mission to kill Sasuke, she blamed herself for it and would do anything to fix her mistake.
"Back up is here" Kiba yelled very enthusiastic while Shino sent his insects to eat the enemies' chakra. Hinata was glad to see her friends of the Fifth Division. "You can go now." Inuzuka told softly and smiled kindly to the heiress. Neji smirked knowing Kiba had strong feelings for his teammate. "Let's get going." He said and pulled Hinata and Kurotsuchi with him to follow the rest of the Second Division.
A hawk landed in front of them with orders from Tsunade, The Hyuga girl took the letter and looked at her cousin in disbelieve. The boy did not understand until he read the message himself. "This is not good…" Hinata looked down. "Let's get this over with." He stated emotionless.
Hinata was horrified when she entered the hospital, ninja from every village were agonizing and the medics could not heal them all at once, Tsunade was overworking herself, she had summoned Sakura, Ino and Shizune from the battlefield to aid her and even the youngest apprentices were helping out. "Hinata and Neji go to my office, I have a special mission for you. Wait until I'm not that busy, got it?" The Hokage stopped rushing from patient to patient to inform them. Those words depressed the heiress, her last special mission resulted in a failure and a broken heart.
Both Hyuga waited for an hour until Tenten entered the room. She rapidly hugged Neji and burst into tears. "I heard your division was ambushed and that half of you were killed." She sobbed while Neji gently returned the hug. "It's ok. Everything is going to be over in no time and we can…" He stopped remembering that his cousin was still there. The weapons specialist let go of him and dried her tears. "I thought Lady Hokage summoned me to give me awful news about you." She sat next to the byakugan user and held his hand.
"The protocol says that in case of death only the relevant parties must know." Hinata looked confused but then smiled evilly. "Blood relatives and other important people… a fiancée for example." The Team Guy members gulped and Hinata returned to her innocent appearance. "Of course teammates must be informed first." The girl giggled and the other two smiled nervously.
Lee opened the door and gave everyone thumbs up. "All right, we will go on a cool mission to test our youth." He was hyper as always and everyone envied him for being so optimistic, even in the worst situation he had a smile to cheer his friends up.
After several minutes Sai entered the office followed by Chouji, Shikamaru and Temari. "We ran into each other and figured out that our troublesome Hokage is sending us into another Sasuke related mission. What a drag." The lazy genius said with irony and boredom. "Then why would she ask me to join you if I don't have any relation with the traitor." Temari glared at the Nara boy recalling his words. "Troublesome woman" He muttered while smirking.
"The door is locked." Sakura yelled from the outside. "It is not, you are pushing instead of pulling." Ino yelled her back. "I can't stand this anymore." Haruno destroyed the door with one punch and frowned before sitting next to Sai. "Move Billboard Brow… That's my place." The blond yelled. Both medics were really stressed and everything annoyed them, they needed to rest so badly.
"Why would the Hokage take us away from battle? We were winning." Kiba complained to Shino but the Aburame boy decided to ignore his friend for the first time. "I don't feel like dealing with him." He thought.
Tsunade took a deep breath when she entered her office and after thinking deeply she finally found the appropriate words to inform her ninja of the bad news. "As you know i assigned several Hyuga, Aburame, Yamanaka and Inuzuka clan members to patrol the outskirts of the village, they are supposed to inform me if the smallest insect approaches Konoha's perimeter. They only noticed a single intruder into the Nara's territory." Shikamaru was in shock, that could only be about the Jashinist. "Yes Shikamaru… it's exactly what you are thinking. Hidan is no longer a prisoner, he managed to escape with the help of Kakuzu. They also killed the guards in shift."
"That can't be… Naruto finished him off." Ino trembled at the memory of that green and red eyed monster.
"According to my spies, Kabuto used the Summoning Impure World Resurrection to bring the Akatsuki back and not only them but also powerful ninja who used to be in our side. This will be painful but you must be prepared to hear who our new enemies are. One of them is Asuma Sarutobi." Ino began to cry but Chouji comforted her even though he was equally affected and Shikamaru tightened his fist in frustration so Temari hugged him, suffering for his pain. "Chiyo" Now was Shikamaru's turn to console the green eyed kunoichi and Sakura felt a whole in her heart, she had defeated Sasori with her. "The Fourth Kazekage, not really an ally but it concerns you Temari." The Suna girl gritted her teeth and the lazy genius was not able to do anything for her. "Hizashi" Hinata looked at Neji in desperation. Rage was taking over him so Tenten put her hand on his knee and shook her head with teary eyes, only then the Hyuga calmed down. "Kimimaro, not an ally either but he's your business Lee." The taijutsu expert felt a cold shiver and shook when he recalled his power. "Shin." Tsunade closed her eyes and Sai looked away, he was in pain but couldn't show it. "Sakon and Ukon too." Kiba patted Akamaru with fear. "And Torune." Shino remained emotionless.
"I will take down my father and Elder Chiyo, it is my obligation as a Suna Kunoichi. Tell me their location to part right away." Temari requested angrily.
"Sit down girl… I'm not done yet." Tsunade glared at her until she sat back next to Shikamaru. The Hokage stopped to allow her ninja to assimilate the situation because the worst part was coming. "Kabuto and Madara may have an alliance with Sasuke to destroy the Village. We must expect everything and consider the worst scenario."
"So what are we supposed to do?" Hinata found the courage to ask. "We can't handle the white army, the resurrected, Madara, Kabuto and Sasuke at the same time."
"The Summoning Impure World Resurrection is based on the chakra of the caster so it is improbable that Kabuto alone could summon that many people. He must have a special source of power… if we find it and eliminate it all the resurrected will be destroyed." Shikamaru explained the situation and Tsunade looked away. "What are you hiding from us?" The genius asked suspiciously.
"Anko Mitarashi disappeared while tracking Kabuto." The Hokage confessed. "She has Orochimaru's chakra from the coursed seal and if Kabuto is using her we are lost." Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Yamato was kidnaped by him too." The Fifth destroyed her desk with a punch. "He might want to use his wood release to track and control the two remaining tailed beasts." Sakura said with sorrow, her captain was that psycho's victim.
"The Sasuke Hunt down team will be separated in three groups. Shikamaru will lead Hinata, Temari and Kiba to search for Sasuke." Hinata crossed her arms over her chest. "Why do you send me for him? I've failed once." The girl remarked. "Because a Kunoichi is the best weapon against a Shinobi and no matter how strong he becomes he is still a man." Tsunade's words shocked the heiress. "That's just what Madara and Sasuke said." She whispered. "A true Kunoichi uses the feminine arts to achieve her goals." The Hokage smirked but Sakura and Ino glared at their teammate. "But I'm not a tool… I love him." She thought with teary eyes. "Neji will be the captain of Chouji, Tenten and Sakura, you will find Kabuto and end the summoning. Finally Shino will guide Ino, Sai and Lee to restrain the White Army. I'll send a jonin team to deal with Madara, and if you find the resurrected try to eliminate them but stay alive."
"So the plan is to capture Madara, Sasuke and Kabuto separately, finish the latter's jutsu to destroy the resurrected and buy time by slowing down their army." Shikamaru analyzed.
"What about Naruto?" Sakura asked worried, she had noticed he was not summoned and wanted to know why. This time Hinata glared at her.
"He is dangerously unstable, that's why I sent him with Killer Bee. Kakashi and Guy are looking after him so he will be fine." Tsunade said with pain. "Go now there is too much work to do, if you succeed in this mission we may guarantee the end of the war." Everyone nodded before disappearing behind a curtain of smoke.
