Naruto looked up at the towering form of the Ichibi, knowing in his mind how much he would give for his village, he let out a loud battle cry rushing the huge beast he formed a ram seal, creating a mass of kage bunshin he used them to form a chain of individuals with him at the top, they latched onto the leg of the ichibi.
BOOM.
A crash, and smoke. Naruto clones were dispelled easily with a flick of the Ichibi's tail, laughing the one-tailed raccoon set his yellow eyes upon the genin and concentrated its chakra in front of its mouth mixing it with wind. "
Fuuton:Teppodoma!"
Naruto crouched and rolled into a ball to minimize the damage, he stood shakily after the blast, still seeing starts he knew that he had to rely on the kyuubi now, his own chakra was out and if he wanted to have any chance of survival he would need to summon Gamabunta the toad boss. Focusing his chakra, he reached into the depths of his mindscape to speak with the fox, hoping the Ichibi believed him to be dead he concentrated solely on this task. Looking up at the inky blackness of the void within the cage surrounding the fox. He roared his challenge.
"Oi, baka-kitsune, your rent is overdue." The fox opened one eye balefully, sniffing in the air, he stared at the nin-gen who was disturbing his sleep." Take it and leave runt, he flooded Narutos mindscape with youki. Grimly narutos forced himself to of his mindscape to see the ichibi once more prepare for an assault on his teammates.
Naruto forced himself to his feet and going through the seals for a summoning; Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, and Ram. He forced the majority of the youki he had taken into the jutsu managing to call out the Gama-boss. "Narutooooooo!!!! Why have you summoned me you ingrate, are you ready to drink with me, where is Jiraiya?"
Narutos spoke up, "Gama-san I suggest you take a look, there is a big ugly sand demon about to attack konoha I don't think we have time for this."
Gamabunta looked up."Hmmm." Encountering another of the Suna-demon's wind blasts, he reared up onto his hind legs and let out a steady line of oil."Naruto use a fire-jutsu."
"Nani, I don't know any." The toad glared at Naruto as if ordering him to improvise. Thinking fats narutos pulled out a kunai and an exploding tag filling the tag with chakra he tossed the kunai into the oil stream, creating a raging inferno. Gama knew that the fire wouldn't really harm the sand incarnate in front of him, so he used the attack as a diversion making the sand beast move into a position that was easier for him to attack. Breathing in the toad let out a torrent of suiton:teppodama blasts that were met and countered by the futon:teppodama attacsk of the Ichibi.
"Naruto, henge me into something that has claws, something that can grab onto that damn monstrosity, if we can wake up the medium we may have a chance to save the village, even then you must stop the invaders, kill them if you must." Naruto balked at this never expecting that he'd have to kill somebody so early in his ninja career he knew it would happen eventually but why now of all times. However this was a war, he must do what he must do. Focusing his chakra, he thought quickly through all the animals that he knew with claws. Damn, using his chakra he swiftly henged the toad boss into a mistune, a nine-tailed mistune. Game latched onto the beast lowering his head so Naruto could clamber onto that off the sand-demon. With a battle cry Naruto smashed his fist into that of the suna-jinchuuriki shouting wake up. One problem, Gaara did not wake up, instead the demon gained further control over the boys mind. Narutos knowing what he had to do pulled out his kunai, with trepidation he lowered it to the boys neck. "I'm sorry." With that he severed the boys jugular, killing him and erasing all evidence of there ever being a sand demon there. The sand collapsed back into soft palpable earth. Naruto with a great degree of difficulty managed to land back on Gamabunta's head."Gaki, I don't have the energy to remain out here for long enough, I can give you some of the chakra I have inside me, but you must make sure this village does not fall." Narutos turned to face the frog as he set him down on the dry earth, " Hai Bunta-sama". With that the toad disappeared in a flash of smoke, back to the summoning realm. Naruto turned his face grim to the other suna-nin.
"Will you yield or must I kill you." The suna-nin gave no answer instead staring at him in shock, never before had they seen Gaara defeated, to see such a young boy defeat him caused them to lose morale. However they had no intention of surrendering, Temari knew they would most probably be tortured for information and she brought her fan round in a swift arc, opening it fully. Preparing to use one of her most devastating wind techniques. She cut her thumb and spread it along the length of her fan "Kuchiyose no jutsu".
However Naruto was ready, realising he may have to fight multiple summons he quickly threw kunai at the weasels she'd summoned, they were hit." Temari looked up with calculating eyes. " Kamitatchi no Jutsu" A huge gust of wind flew from her fan as she twirled it, narutos noticing the range and breadth of the technique, jumped into the air allowing the chakra induced air-currents to drift below him. Knocked off balance slightly a gash opened his lower calf. Realising he had no time to play he duck as Temari swung the fan and rushed her, realising that her dependency on her weapon meant that she would be useless in hand to hand combat. He got in close and smashed his fist into her face sending her back 3 feet. Noticing the lack of power in his punch he realised he was low on chakra, without skipping a beat he rushed to her while she was down and slammed a kunai into the base of her neck. Realising it would probably not be the end of the killing today he decided that he must eliminate the other threat, Kankuro had now recovered form his shock and after seeing his sister die, he'd sprung into action summoning karasu he tried to get it to encircle Naruto. Naruto turned round quickly and ducked under the intial attack swiftly turning his now bloodied kunai upwards to stab the puppet, realising what Naruto was doing Kankuro tried to pull karasu back, alas his biggest mistake so far. Narutos held his round and allowed Kankuro to drag the puppet back, while maintaining grip on the blade he slices the bottom of the puppet off using the momentum gained by Kankuro pulling on the puppet to finish his job off.
Rushing to the last suna-nin he used the same kunai to stab him in the chest. Looking down, Naruto saw his blade sticking out of the chest of the Nin, his enemy's blood pooling around him, sticking to his sandals. Only then did Naruto realise what he had done, how carelessly he had killed, even if it was to defend his village he felt sickened. With that last thought, he allowed a single tear to escape from his eye before he met the darkness with blissful rapture.
