Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto characters although I wish I did (id be fucking rich)
I am not very good at Japanese so I will use what I can but otherwise I will only use the most common Japanese such as the suffixes and some jutsu. Apart from the most obvious I will probably be making the names of jutsu up.

Warriors of Legend
An Apocalyps24 story
Prologue
The sun was shining on this tragic day; the battle that had been raging for the last five days finally reached its peak in one final glorious rush for freedom by the remaining Konohean.
The odds were stacked against them with the numbers being a thousand to one in favour of the enemy. Twelve Konoha ninja fought against twelve thousand ninja from the countries Iwa, Kumo, Mizu, Oto and Suna.
Konohas last allies Suna having abandoned them in favour of the stronger side earlier on in the battle.
These twelve shall strike fear into the heats of people for millennia to come their names forever etched into legend.
------
The battle had started with overwhelming odds against Konoha. It had been ten thousand Konoha and Suna ninja verse four times their numbers. The first charge looked rather pathetic but the Konoha and Suna forces managed to inflict great damage with little loss to their forces… on that first day they killed twelve thousand men and only lost nine hundred.
However there luck was not to hold on the second day Konoha lost over half its force and Suna lost seventy percent of their men.
On the third day Suna turned traitor while on the battlefield, having made negotiations with the enemies during the night, suddenly being attacked by their allies Konoha lost many.
However Konoha fought valiantly and managed to reduce the enemy forces from to just under nineteen thousand men.
By this point the enemy ninja were getting scared, they didn't understand why the Konoha forces did not run and how they managed to cause such damage to their forces, they did however keep on coming knowing that Konoha could not last much longer and that they were outnumbered ridiculously. At the end of the day only three hundred Konoha ninja still lived.
On the forth day the Konoha ninja had lost all hope and had barricaded themselves in to the remaining ruins that was once the proud and beautiful village of Konoha and a fierce day of gorilla warfare ensued, but it was all for naught at the end of the day only twelve Konoha ninja survived. Twelve against twelve thousand...
And so we come to the final confrontation of a miserable twelve against twelve thousand… the twelve thousand laughed at these miserable twelve… I mean seriously what can twelve men do against twelve thousand… but then that's what they had said four days ago when they saw ten thousand against their forty thousand… ohhh how wrong they were to laugh… it would truly be their downfall.
Twelve men charged forward screaming to the heavens their battle cry, revenge in their hearts, wanting nothing more than to join their loved ones in death. However they weren't going to go out without a bang so to speak. They fought to defeat destiny.
In they charged and the slaughter began… some would say it was a battle but a slaughter is probably a more accurate description.
The enemies of Konoha fell by the dozen, each time a sword flashed, each time a kunai flew, each time a jutsu was unleashed dozens died, five thousand had fallen by the time the first of the twelve started to tire and fell to a blade through the heart… the enemies wanted to flee as fear set in their hearts, they called the twelve demons, I mean no normal humans could battle twelve thousand and be winning but their generals wouldn't let them under pain of death.
Eventually all but one of the twelve was left standing he was the most feared of them all for he had slain thousands upon thousand and just did not seem to tire, not even with the wounds that they had inflicted on him.
Just over two thousand against men fighting one man, you would think it would be a piece of cake, but alas they too fell to the sword of this almighty warrior.
When the last of the "grunts" had fallen the eight enraged generals appeared… 'How could it have gone so amazingly and terribly fucking wrong, how could an army of forty thousand ninja fall to a force a quarter of its size… how could twelve people defeat twelve thousand it was impossible.' They all thought at the same time. As they came to the epicentre of the battle they saw that one ninja was still standing and when they recognised whom it was they literally pissed themselves.
Standing there in the middle of all the bodies was none other than Uzumaki Naruto Rokudaime Hokage of Konoha, the most feared man in the five great nations and last standing warrior of the battle the generals had just lost forty thousand men too.
The generals stood there for a few minutes staring at the wounded Hokage trying to decide what they should do. While they were standing there they noticed that his wounds seemed to visibly healing before there eyes at a phenomenal rate, it was in this instance that they all came to the same decision, they charged.
The fight that ensued can only be described as the clash of the titans. The generals where by no means meek ninja, no they were all varying Kage level ninja the weakest being as strong as the legendary Orochimaru.
In this group of Kage level ninja there were some famous names such as Uchiha Sasuke Nidaime Otokage, Namikaze Kenzuk former leader of the now disbanded Akatsuki now Rokudaime Raikage also uncle to Naruto, Agma Kito Supreme general to the armies of Iwa, and other such important people. The strongest of the eight where the Uchiha and the Namikaze they were the biggest threat to Naruto and they proved this during the fight.
Six of the generals died quickly, not only by Naruto's hand, but also through subterfuge and betrayal of their allies, they killed each other of, thinking that they could take the glory of finally killing the man that had been a thorn in their hide ever since he came to power.
The Uchiha although reluctant and completely against his nature recognized that alone he would not stand a chance against the almighty Blood ninja of the Apocalypse as Naruto had been dubbed by those who faced him, the Namikaze although he hated to admit it came to the same conclusion. So they retreated and came to the agreement that they would work together to defeat the Rokudaime Hokage.
When they returned to the fray Naruto was just pushing his sword through Agma Kito's heart leaving only Sasuke and Kenzuk in the fight.
Forward they rushed into battle to kill their adversary, swords flashed, kunai flew, shuriken spun and jutsu were unleashed.
At first it seemed as if Sasuke and Kenzuk had the upper hand and were the stronger of the two forces, they were fresh, where they had just come of there "tea brake" Naruto had been battling for days, he was tired, covered in mud, blood, guts and grime from the five days of battle, but he kept on pushing forward willing his battered and beaten body to move on, already suffering from fatal wounds.
In a last ditch effort to pull the battle to his favour Naruto managed to cut of Namikaze Kenzuk's head.
The two remaining combatants circled each other trying to gouge each other looking to see who would make the first move, and suddenly they clashed sword against sword, jutsu against jutsu. They raged for what seemed like hours, fighting for dominance, neither gaining nor loosing ground. However if one observed closely you would see that Naruto was tiring, he had fought day in day out for the last five days and he was nothing short of complete and utter exhaustion the only thing keeping him alive at this moment was the adrenalin cursing through his veins.
His body had been damaged beyond repair… but he dint care anymore all he wanted now was to join his friends and family in death and let the pain be gone. He was tired ohhh so very tired he wanted to sleep; he wanted it all to end.
Suddenly during this little laps of concentration where Naruto was lost in his thoughts Sasuke managed to gain the upper hand in the ongoing battle and managed to stab Naruto through the heart with his blade.
Sasuke watched with a smirk on his face as the life ebbed out of Naruto's sapphire blue easy. Those once vibrant sparkling eyes dulled and glazed over as death took him from this world. As he died a smile came to his face, finally he was free.
There was however one last thing he had to do, with unimaginable will power and all the strength he could muster he lifted his sword and thrust it forward towards an unsuspecting Sasuke… and so you can imagine the surprise that Sasuke felt as Naruto's sword passed through his chest.
As the fell to his knees he screamed to the heavens as the life slowly left his body.
And so ended the battle that had lasted five long days, the battle came to be called – rather unimaginatively if you ask me – The Great Battle Of Konoha.
All that had participated now lay dead and in the centre lay the most feared man in the world staring up at the ski with lifeless blue eyes a smile on his face. He had defeated all the odds and although he had died doing it he had come out victorious above all others. His name was etched into legend… Uzumaki Naruto deifier of fate.
Alas the era of Uzumaki Naruto and Konoha came to and end… but my story has just begun.
