I do not own 300 or Naruto

Konoha's 300

By Kardel88

The sun had drawn low, a tall man with the steel symbol of the leaf adorned on his forehead stood quietly. He then paced the line of Shinobi all clad in Shinobi armor and a red cape with the insignia of the leaf. His pale eyes looked to his left then to his right surveying all the troops on the line.

His voice asserted command, "Shinobis, I am Hyuga Neji,"

"As some of may know, I am the cousin to Lady Hinata, wife of the Hokage, and branch member of the Hyuga clan." He paused again to see how they would receive this information. All of the shinobis faces remained neutral, he suppressed a smile.

"Some of my words may fall on deaf ears, but I implore you as a free shinobi, to listen to my tale of bravery, honor and glory. The tale of how one man and a handful stood their ground to the bitter end against Hell's serpent himself. The tale of Konoha's 300."


In Konoha very few knew little of the attack by the nine-tailed fox, but many know the container of the beast, Uzumaki Naruto. He was seen by many as nothing more than an insect. Some even thought he did not deserve the right to live, but Uzumaki Naruto persisted and never let harsh words wound him. Instead he used those to drive him towards his goal. His goal to take on the title of Hokage and protect all he holds dear, just as his father before him, The Yondaime, did. He faced all kinds of enemies in this road to Hokage, from the Red Dawn to his best friend. Yet he never wavered in the face of these dangers that could force many a battle hardened to kneel. In the end he reached his goal to be the Leaf's strongest, crushed the Red Dawn, and saved his best friend from the evil jaws of Hell's Serpent himself. But he never thought the Hell's Serpent, would ever return till messengers bearing the emblem of sound came to Konoha.

They rode their horses hard, galloping with utmost haste towards the hidden village. They arrived at the gates and shown the guards their permission to enter, which was a letter for the Hokage. The messengers entered no further than the gates when they were greeted by the Rokudaime Hokage himself and by his sides his wife Uzumaki Hinata and Uchiha Sasuke, Captain of the Anbu elites. The messenger smiled with a sadistic gleam in his eye as he approached the Hokage.

"Greetings honored Hokage,"

The Hokage narrowed his eyes then asked "What brings you here, otonin?"

The messenger just smirked then said "Fealty."

Naruto was annoyed and perplexed, the messenger smirked again. "Swear an oath of fealty to our lord Orochimaru and this quaint little village will be left alone where it stands."

The hokage's wife then went up to the sound nin and asked "What makes you think you can just threaten Konohagakure?" she asked with vehemence.

The otonin looked insulted as if he was presented with rotten food for his supper, and then asked the Hokage "What is a woman doing meddling with the affairs of men?"

Hinata was mortified by his question and the insult disguised in it. The Hokage held up a hand before she could assault him then asked "Why don't we take a little stroll through woods."

It was request but there was a tone of command in his eyes that left no alternative. The Otonin nodded and followed the Hokage outside the village gates.

As they were walking, the otonin's smug look on his face held, thinking that the Hokage would concede to his master's demands till the blonde leader suddenly stopped. Naruto looked up to the sky and saw a flock of birds flying free. He then turned to look at his beautiful wife, lavender eyes filled with worry and hope that he would make the right decision. He then remembered his son, little Nagara Uzumaki smiling brightly at him. He looked up once more then to his wife again. He did not ask for anything outright, but his eyes said everything to her. She understood his decision and nodded her support.

He faced the otonin with eyes full of defiance and said "You can tell that snake fag, to go fuck himself, when you see him in hell."

He drew a wakizashi held it to his neck as his anbu captain and other anbu bodyguards that were in hiding held the rest of the sound message team at blade point. The otonin was shock was apparent and defiance gleamed in his eyes "What's the meaning of this? You draw a sword to messenger?" The Hokage chuckled then said "Here in Konoha, your words are held accountable for whoever you serve." The otonin lost all color in his face as he continued "You threaten my village with death and dare insult my wife? I have heard enough."

"This is madness!" the otonin exclaimed. Naruto just smirked and said "No, this is Konoha."

He then pulled his sword away as he kicked him down a hole which was covered under a genjutsu. The anbu then slew or threw the rest of the entourage down the hole. Their screams echoed as they fell into cold embrace of death.
