Total War

"Gaara!" The frantic blonde broke into her brother's office without permission. Gaara glanced up at her, and she continued to talk. "Konoha's been destroyed, and Tsunade has been dismissed as the fifth Hokage." She gasped. "They're trying to gather all the Kage's together, where you'll meet the Rokudaime Hokage, Danzo."
Gaara's eyes narrowed, the name seemed oddly familiar. "Pull up his files." He muttered, turning back to his paperwork. Temari left the room in a hurry. His non-visible eyebrows furrowed together, as he tapped his pencil on the desk.
"Gaara." Temari walked back into the room, holding a thick manila folder. "Danzo is a Konoha elder," Temari began to read; pulling a photo that was paper clipped to the file. She handed the Polaroid to Gaara, and continued. "He created the ANBU faction called the Foundation, and is a big political person." She frowned as she read on. Gaara stared at her, waiting for more information. "He's been trying to become Hokage since Sarutobi…" She muttered, glancing up at Gaara. The corners of Gaara's lips pulled down, and he stared at her.
"We have to go to Konoha." He stated, getting up. "Now."

"How could Sasuke-teme be labeled as a missing-nin?" Naruto asked, pacing back and forth. Kiba and Sakura stared at him, watching as the shinobi got rather…disturbed.
"I don't know Naruto-kun, but this is just too much to handle." Sakura shook her head, ready to loose it herself. "First Tsunade-sama, now Sasuke-kun." Her voice faltered a bit, and she raised a hand to her temple.
"Naruto should take him." Kiba shrugged. A pair of blue and green eyes both stared at him, and he shrugged again. "What? C'mon, Naruto defeated The Leader of the Akatsuki for kami's-sake! What, he can't take down some old cripple?"
"Pein was the villain." Sakura stated. "We can't go behind Konoha's back when it needs us most." She shook her head. "It's a death wish."
"Sakura." Kiba sighed, throwing his head back. "Konoha can't get much worse right now. And Danzo's the villain." Kiba motioned for the two nin to approach. "Look, I've been doing some work and my studies show that the Uchiha massacre wasn't all Itachi. It was a mission. From Danzo."
Sakura's eyes widened in horror, and her vision flickered to Naruto's face. His features were distorted into absolute rage, and she almost didn't recognize him. That's when a nerve in her seemed to snap. "Naruto!" She cried, tackling him to the ground. Naruto began shaking rapidly, his skin beginning to become an orange color. The whiskers on his face began to define more, and Kiba could only watch in curiosity and fear.
"What's going on!?" Kiba demanded, gripping onto Akamaru tighter than necessary.
"It's really complicated." Sakura cried, chewing on the bottom of her lip as she tried to restrain Naruto. The shaking began to decrease, as well as the clarity of the scars and the orange shade of his skin. When the shaking completely stopped, and Naruto had regained his normal appearance, he was out cold.
"So what are we going to do about Danzo?" Kiba demanded. "We can't let this go on, and you know it Sakura." He reminded.
Sakura began to think, hard. She knew in her heart that in order to save Konoha, Danzo must be defeated. However this task seemed nearly impossible to her. She couldn't singlehandedly take on one of the village elders, now the Rokudaime Hokage. She'd be Akamaru food!
"Well…" She trailed off, her mind working a mile a minute. "We could form some kind of resistance." She suggested, holding Naruto's head with her hands on her lap. She used light healing skills to reduce the tension that had gathered in his head.
"Sounds good to me. Who do we recruit?" Kiba asked, leaning forward on Akamaru.
"You can't recruit just anyone." Sakura stated wisely. "If we freely spread the information of this, then it'd be all too easy for Danzo to take us down." Sakura shook her head. "We start with the Rookie Nine and Team Gai, vaguely hinting at negativity towards Danzo as the new Hokage, then slowly progress to see whether they agree or not. If they do, we offer up a position, if they don't…well…don't mention it anymore."
"So Sai's out." Kiba stated, looking away.
"Yeah, Sai's out. The guy can't keep his mouth shut, not to mention he has good espionage skills. He could play his innocent card to us, only to be revealed as a double agent later on." Sakura agreed.
"Hinata?" Kiba asked.
"Hinata's sweet, but be sure to get her actual opinion before mentioning Naruto. She might pressure herself into joining; later changing her mind, if she knows Naruto is involved." Sakuar reminded.
"Shino?"
"Yeah. Shino's good. His bugs will come in handy." Sakura nodded.
"Tenten?"
"Who?"
"Tenten, the weapons girl."
"Right." Sakura nodded. "Hint to her, don't want to get her suspicious and all. She is on Gai's team after all, and we don't need Gai and Lee chanting out of the ordinary verses while they sprint around Konoha."
"What are we going to call this little 'organization'?" Kiba asked, scratching Akamaru behind the ear. "It needs a name."
Sakura sighed, scrolling through possible names in her head. Her eyes widened minimally as she selected the perfect choice. "Jiraiya's Alliance."

A/N: Now, this story is going to center around the most recent chapter of the Manga, with Tenten, Naruto, and Sakura as the protagonists. For pairings though, I'm having difficulties coming up with Tentens. It can go 3 ways: KankuroTenten, SuigetsuTenten, or SasukeTenten. Reviews and Comments are WANTED.
