The fucking summary sucked, I know.
Six people dressed in Anbu outfits jumped through the trees in the Land of Fire. They haven't been to Kohona in a few years, since they were on a secret S-Class mission that was given by the Third Hokage.
"We almost fuckin' there yet?" a blue haired man asked while looking over to his five other teammates through his bluish-white, panther-like mask. One of the three girls of the group looked over at him. Even though the blue haired man couldn't see her face, which was covered by a white, shark-like mask, he knew she was giving him an irritated look.
"No, Grimmjow. We are still a few miles away from Kohona. It will still be a few minutes before we reach Kohona. Be patient." The said man grit his teeth.
"Fuck that! Let's pick up our fucking speed!" Grimmjow yelled as light blue Spiritual Pressure formed around his feet.
"Grimmjow, wait!" One of the guys with a monkey-like mask said as he tried to reach over to him. Before he could, Grimmjow was already out of their sight. "Dumbass," he started, "He doesn't even know where he is going."
The three girls nodded their heads in agreement. The last guy of the group hadn't talked at all since they were called off their mission.
One of the girls with long, bluish-green hair and a goat-like mask over her face, looked over to him. "Ichi," He didn't say anything. "Is everything okay?"
"Ichi" stopped on one of the branches. The others stopped along with him. "Yeah," his voice sounded like it echoed through his white, skull-looking mask. "I agreed of what Grimmjow said. Let's quicken our speed. We don't have time to slack off. Kohona's under attack and if we don't get there soon…" He didn't want to finish. The others just nodded their heads.
Within a flash, Ichigo was gone. "He's been acting strange lately." The shortest girl of the group said. "Do you think it is because of-"
"Let's not talk about that now, Rukia. Let's head to Kohona." Rukia nodded her head and they all disappeared in an instant.

"Universal Pull." Pain stated as Naruto came flying towards him. Naruto grunted when Pain smashed him into the ground. His eyes went wide when Pain pulled out one of his poles and stabbed both his hands into the ground.
"Will this make you a little more accommodating…Kyuubi?" Pain said, crouching in front of Naruto.
"What are you?! Just what the hell are you, dammit?! Why are you doing this?!" Naruto struggled to get his hands out from the pole. The more he moved, the more his hands were filled with pain."
"Why…you ask?" Pain started. "Events always occur without warning. Its always after the event that everything becomes clear."
Pain looked down at Naruto a few minutes. "You asked me why I am doing this…my answer won't change anything. But if we have a little talk…just maybe…" Pain stood up, still looking down at Naruto.
"My goal is something that Jiraiya-sensei could never obtain…I told you before. Through justice I will bring peace." He heard Naruto grit his teeth.
"Peace…you say? Justice…you say? You've got to be kidding freaking kiddin' me! My teachers! My Master! My friends! My village! How can you say that…when you destroyed that all?!" Naruto started to pant slightly.
"Then what do you want?" Pain asked.
"What do I want? I want to defeat you! I want to bring peace to the Shinobi world!" Naruto exclaimed.
Pain started to walk to Naruto's side. "I see…that is wonderful. That is justice. But…my family. My village. My friends…they were all destroyed, too." Naruto's eyes widened.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Kohona…had gotten too big. The Nations make war to protect their interests…for national gain. If they don't, their people will starve. The battle ground for the war was always a small village…my small village." Pain stopped there.
"You and I…are no different. We both want the same thing…of what Jiraiya spoke of. Peace. This world is full of hatred." Pain stated. Naruto thought of something that Jiraiya had told him a couple years back on their training together.
"How would you face this hatred in order to build peace?" Pain waited for an answer. "Let me hear your answer."
Naruto squeezed his eyes shut before opening them again. He spoke, "I don't know…"
"I created the "Akatsuki" in order to break off the hatred." Pain and Naruto talked for a few more minutes about finding true "peace" in the Shinobi world.
Pain then walked around Naruto again, stabbing three poles into each side of him, so in total, seven poles struck down Naruto. Hinata them appeared behind Pain, ready to strike him. Pain retaliated by forcing her down in the ground, right in front of Naruto.
Hinata stood up. "I won't let you lay a finger on Naruto!"
Naruto yelled, "Hinata! What are you doing?! You're no match for—"
"I know," she cut him off. "I'm just being selfish. I'm here on my own free will. I nearly went the wrong way…I would always end up and cry. But you showed me…the right way." She took her fighting pose.
"I'm not afraid of protecting you…because I love you." Naruto's eyes widened when she dashed towards Pain. She used Gentle Fist, trying to attack Pain's chest.
"Almighty Push." He calmly stated.
"Gah!" Hinata screamed as she hit the ground hard.
"Stop!" Naruto yelled. Pain stabbed at the ground, causing a dust cloud to fly everywhere. The people who were watching had their eyes opened wide.
"Hinata!" Naruto screamed to the heavens.
"What?" Pain said as he looked at the ground. In front of him was…nothing.
Pain and Naruto heard grinding of teeth from beside them. They looked over to see the same blue-haired man with the panther mask holding an unconscious Hinata over his shoulder, and his sword in his other hand.
Grimmjow sighed in irritation. "Goddammit. Where the hell are Kurosaki and the others!" Pain's eyes widened at the reference to "Kurosaki". "The should've fuckin' been here by now!"
"W-who are…?" Naruto was grateful that this man saved his friend, but who was he?
Grimmjow looked down at Naruto. "Huh? When the hell did you get there kid?"
Naruto grit his teeth in anger. "No time for that! Get these poles out of me a let me fucking kill this bastard."
"Tch. A kid like you shouldn't be fighting the Akatsuki." Grimmjow looked at Pain through his mask. "Especially someone like him."
"You are not Anbu, are you? You're something else." Pain asked. Grimmjow chuckled slightly and nodded his head.
"Yeah, my team ain't nothin' like those Anbu. Hehe, we're not silent. We just dress like 'em." Grimmjow stated.
"No shit we're not silent! It's 'cuz of you!" The trio looked over to see Grimmjow's other five friends appear out of nowhere.
"More reinforcements?" Pain said as he spotted a head full of orange hair. 'Kurosaki.' He thought in his head.
"Tch, these pricks ain't reinforcements! I can handle you myself!" Grimmjow yelled.
The one with the monkey mask growled. "Just shut up and hand the girl over to Rukia! We don't have time for this!" Grimmjow clicked his tongue in annoyance and Flash Stepped over to his "team".
"Honestly…you boys are such nuisances." The girl with the shark mask stated calmly. The girl with the goat mask chuckled.
"You're so funny Harri-chan!" She said in a high-pitched voice.
"Shut up Harribel! You too Neliel!" They both yelled at the same time. Neliel pouted cutely, and crossed her arms underneath her breast.
"Ichi! Those two idiots are being mean to me again!" Neliel yelled as she grabbed Ichigo's arm.
Ichigo sighed in annoyance. "It's alright, Nel. Let's focus on fighting this guy." Ichigo and Pain stared each other down. 'Out of all the people…'
Harribel took Hinata out of Grimmjow's hands and flash stepped over to Sakura and the others.
"You two are a medical ninjas, are you not?" Harribel asked.
Sakura and Ino nodded their head dumbly. "Yes, but who are you guys?" Sakura asked.
"That is not for you to know just yet." Harribel spotted a blonde women lying on a blanket, being healed by another medical ninja. "Is she the Hokage?" Harribel asked, pointing over to Tsunade.
"Yes." Sakura stated nervously. Harribel Flash-Stepped over to her, and kneeled down.
"Hey!" the anonymous medical ninja yelled. "What do you think you are doing?!" Harribel just ignored him and took a small green pill out one of her small pouch. She opened Tsunade's mouth and popped the pill in her mouth. Tsunade coughed a bit, and her eyes flickered open a few times. "Huh?! Hokage-sama was in a coma! How did you-"
"It was a special medical pill. Made from special herbs from around the world." Harribel said in an emotionless voice.
Sakura and Ino looked at her in amazement, and then they heard a buzzing sound from behind them. They looked over to see Nel, Rukia, and Ichigo. Ichigo had Naruto in his hands, who was yelling something about putting him down.
"Oi! Dumbass put me down!" Naruto yelled as he flailed his arms weakly.
Ichigo narrowed his eyes and growled. "Enough kid! You're lucky I even made it here on time!" Ichigo laid Naruto down in front of Ino and Sakura. Ichigo sighed, "Here, heal this idiot."
"W-what about you?" Ino asked, stuttering a bit.
Ichigo smiled behind his mask. "Ichi'll kick this guys ass!" Nel yelled as she hugged Ichigo.
"Neliel! Language!" Rukia yelled as she punched the top of Nel's head.
"Owie! That hurts Ru-ru-chan!" Rukia growled at the nickname.
Ichigo sighed again before speaking up. "Renji, Grimmjow, and I will take him down."
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "Did you not see what he did to this village?! Look around!"
"Don't you think I know kid?! I can fucking see that!" Ichigo yelled as he rose his Spiritual Pressure. Sakura and Ino started to sweat from the power, and looked at him with surprise in their eyes. Naruto was a little scared when he saw Ichigo's eyes change color from behind his mask.
"Ichigo, settle down." Rukia said. Ichigo steadied his Spiritual Pressure, and looked over to Grimmjow and Renji, who were holding off Pain.
Rukia looked down at Naruto through her white sphere shaped mask. "Don't worry. We are stronger then you think." Naruto grit his teeth, knowing he couldn't protect his own village, and that it would have to bring in complete strangers to assist him.
"Hey kid," Ichigo said without looking back at him, but still bringing the attention of Naruto. "Don't sweat about it. We're part of the village."
Naruto's eyes widened slightly before he smiled. "Heh…my names not kid…it's Naruto Uzamaki! And I'm going to be the Hokage one day!" Naruto yelled as he gave Ichigo a thumbs up.
Ichigo chuckled before turning his head to look at Naruto. "Oh really? Well…the name is Kurosaki. Ichigo Kurosaki!"
"Hehe, funny name!" Ichigo growled. "Well Ichigo, kick his ass for me!" Ichigo nodded his head and disappeared from their sights to join the battle.
Nel looked at Naruto, a hidden smile on her beautiful features. "Ichi will beat him! I know it!" They all sweat dropped at her child-like attitude.
X-X
Renji had his sword readied in his hand. "Oi, Grimmjow! You see Ichigo?!"
"I'm right here." Ichigo said as he appeared in the middle of the two.
Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Fucking finally! I was tired of holding back on this guy! I mean seriously! Why the hell did we have to wait for you to come back?! He could've been dead already!" Renji face-palmed his…mask and sighed.
Ichigo just ignored him and took his sword out of his sheath. "Alright, I'm ready to kick some ass!" Ichigo yelled as they all dashed towards Pain at incredible speeds.
X-X
Sakura gulped slightly as she watched as the three fought Pain. "A-are you sure those guys are going to be okay?" She asked as she looked over to Rukia, Nel, and Harribel who were watching the fight also.
"I am certain those three will be okay." Harribel said in her same emotionless tone.
"Uh huh! Those three will crush him!" Nel said as she nodded her head.
"Yeah…just believe in them. After all…they aren't regular Shinobi." Rukia said as she gained a small smile behind her mask. Nel and Harribel grinned slightly too.
Naruto rose his eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"Nothing. Just watch the fight. It's going to start get interesting soon." Rukia said as they all looked back towards the fight.
X-X
Ichigo, Grimmjow, and Renji jumped back away from Pain.
"Oi, Ichigo. Why don't ya say we unleash some more power?" Grimmjow asked with a maniacal grin stretching across his face.
"I think the sadist is right. We aren't going to beat him if we don't raise out power a little." Renji said, looking at Ichigo.
Ichigo sighed before nodding his head. "I guess you're right. We'll raise our power a little…for now." They all grinned and the air started to get a little dense.
Reddish-pink Spiritual Pressure formed around Renji's from, light blue Spiritual Pressure formed around Grimmjow's form, and dark blue, almost black, Spiritual Pressure formed around Ichigo.
Pain's eyes widened at the sudden force. "LET'S GO!" The trio yelled as the ran at Pain again…

Sorry for the sucky cliffhanger and the short chapter to my new story, but I'm tired and I have school tomorrow so I need some sleep.
