(Prequel)Chapter 1-The burning village
fires burn throughout the leaf village. Screams of battle cries and the echo of metallic weapons can be heard throughout the village. Leaf ninja are shown battling countless sound jounin. The leaf jounin are show amazing skill and precision but are no match too the cursed sound jounin. Konoha is falling.
Most of the battle is being held in the center of the village where Tsunade is now seen running. How could Orochimaru gather so many ninja to attack she thought as she dodged another explosion and dashed literally a blur of motion the only indication of her is the cracked concrete she is leaving in her wake. She took a corner and stopped abruptly looked at five sound jounin. One tall jounin recognized her quickly when seeing her Kage robes and turned to order a retreat. Unfortunately for them they were too late. With impossible speed she took out a katana and in a flash she appeared behind them as they all fell dead.
See the battle field blanketed with enemy and sadly ally shinobi bodies. Some of her village shinobi were though still fighting among them where two of the villages newly appointed Sannin Kakashi Hatake and Inoichi Yamanaka fighting along with his daughter Ino Yamanaka. With them were a number of Anbu members and Anbu captain Lee.
Finally reaching her destination it was her new objective was to level the odds of the battle field in their favor. She bit her finger and quickly summoned an army slugs that spit acid with deadly accuracy at the surrounding enemy.
Kakashi saw her and gave orders to the other shinobi "the Hokage is the rally point stay together and fight as one". Kakashi appeared beside Tsunade Sharingan eye blazing with is new Mangekyou Sharingan. "Lady Tsunade I've dispatched clones throughout the village Asuma and Kureina have rounded ups some Anbu squad and are doing fine but, Iruka and other jounin are taking a beating near the ninja academy". We've managed too get everyone too the safe houses and pulled back our forces but the sound jounin are too many".
If he didn't hide his emotions so well it would seem the copy ninja showed a brief bit of emotion emerged "and Konoha is falling".
Before they could continue an explosion erupted before them and enemy shinobi and slugs were now bent in combat.
One jounin did hand signs and ended with a jumped high in the air. Blue fire erupted from his palm and moved to engulf the entire battlefield. Moving in front of her comrades Tsunade emitted a light green shield from the tip of her finger. The shield wavered a bit but the fire soon died out. Kakashi took his chance and flickered behind the jounin and punched him on the back of the neck. The jounin was sent down into the ground creating an 8 foot in diameter crater.
Surprisingly the sound Nin stood up his curse mark activated and cracked his neck. "Is that all" he smirked still glaring at Kakashi. Kakashi threw a kunai the cursed jounin deflected it but didn't realize Kakashi held up a ram sign and the explosive tag attached to the sounds neck exploded killing him as the curse mark receded.
The rest of the ninja were doing well themselves especially Tsunade. The fifth Hokage displayed skill only a Hokage could by doing a perfect 360 spin releasing sembon needles killing any enemy shinobi not able to dodge the lightning fast projectiles. She then threw a kunai with a explosive tag attached at an incoming army of sound. The jounin jumped out of the metal knife but, Tsunade cleverly combined the Kunai shadow clone Jutsu with Wind manipulation jutsu. The kunai chased after the enemy as they ran for there lives helplessly eventually they all were killed in explosions.
Then a young chuunin sound Nin appeared in a flash before her and slashed at her. A slash that no one could possible dodge but she stopped it between her left thumb and index finger and with her right she delivered a killing downward punch that had earth shaking results.
Although they were doing well at the ninja academy Iruka and others are battling 5-1 odds as each had a squad too fight for themselves. Iruka jumps too avoid a swarm of kunai as two sound Nins rush at him. He does hand signs a shouts "sembon whirlwind jutsu.
A whirlwind rises up stopping the sound nins in there tracks. In there confusion two Iruka clones appeared from the ground below them and grasped there heels. The try to free themselves but Iruka throws a poisoned sembon needle at them he did a sign and the sembon needle soon was a swarm of needles. The needles are absorbed into the whirlwind and slowly the entire needle barrage passed threw the bodies of the enemy. The whirlwind becomes a bloody tornado as the victims bodies were ripped apart …slowly.
Iruka didn't have time to rest as 3 more enemy shinobi attacked. Iruka match them in a taijutsu match and sent one down with a roundhouse kick. He did a few quick jabs and sent an uppercut to another. He summoned two clones and both of them matched the remaining ninja. They had finally taken care of the higher level jounin all that was left was a few chuunin and genin.
Iruka killed two more as the leaf shinobi let out a yell of victory finally taking care of their current enemy. Iruka panted out of breath as he leaned against a tree. It's been years since active duty and he was getting lazy. He looked around as medic Nins took out their wounded to the outpost a few miles out of the village. He wanted to help them but the Anbu captain needed everyone that could fight to hold the strategic positions in Konoha. Iruka for once thought that he could relax until.
"Look alive" one of the higher jounin shouted as the west gate fell and Lightning shinobi filled the streets of Konoha. Iruka stared on in fear "God Help Us".
