Chapter 2: Rescue and Retribution
9:45 am. Hidden Leaf Village
It was a very cloudy day in the village. Hiruzen Sarutobi the Third Hokage, is busy with a lot of paperwork. Although he's been having this strange sinking feeling this morning, like something bad is going to happen, and It's starting to bother him. He's thoughts were interrupted when a chunin entered his office.
He approach the Hokage and kneel. "Lord Hokage, we've receive a message from the patrol team on the eastern border."
"Report." Said the Hokage.
"The team has spotted large fleet from Britannia is anchored on the east coast and their soldiers had landed on the beach. They've estimated that there are at least 4000 soldiers mobilizing and had marching on the eastern road."
This surprises Hiruzen since the Britannian Emperor said he doesn't want to do anything in the Leaf village. But before the Hiruzen could say anything, another chunin entered the office were he immediately kneel and reported. "Lord Hokage. Urgent news from the south border. The scout team have spotted a large group of Britannian battleships approaching the southern shores."
A third person entered the room and this time an ANBU. "Lord Hokage, a message from the patrol teams on north and west border. The patrols on the west have spotted a large group of flying ships are entering the border. While the patrols on the northern border reported that an army of 5000 or more is marching on north road, both of the groups belongs from the Holy Britannian Empire and are heading towards our village." Said ANBU making the Hokage worry.
"The Britannians are invading us, but why? And for what reason?" His thoughts were interrupted when another chunin enters.
"Yes what is it?" Ask Hiruzen although he already knew that it's a bad news judging by the chunin's face.
The chunin point something out on the window, the Hokage and the other ninjas in the office turn to see to where the chunin was pointing at, and they were surprised by what they saw. They saw over a hundred flying ships emerging from the clouds, Hiruzen recognized the ships, these are the Floating Battleship from the Britannian Empire, he notice some changes like increased armaments and was slightly smaller indicating that the Britannians did some upgrades. And accompanying the battleships are hundreds of small aircraft which Hiruzen recognize the aircraft as the apache, little bird, black hawk and the osprey.
Hiruzen then saw one of the aircraft, a black hawk approaches them, this one had speakers on both side.
"Attention Hokage of the Leaf Village! His Imperial Majesty, The Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire demands a meeting with you and the council of the Leaf! Failure to comply within half an hour will result in destruction of your village!" Announced the messenger as the aircraft flies of.
Reacting quickly, Hiruzen ordered the shinobi in the office to contact every member of the council for an emergency meeting, which they all nod and left.
Two Anbu entered the office. "Lord Hokage, what is your order?" Asked the one with white hair.
"Kakashi, Itachi, I want you two to find Naruto and take him to my home. Both of you must stay with him until I say so. Make sure no one sees you and don't let anyone near him. Do you two understand?"
"Yes Lord Hokage." They left in a swirl of leaves.
After a minute or so Hiruzen left the office.
With Empress Marianne
Unknown to the Hokage, The Emperor send a group consist of Elite Royal Guard being lead by Marianne to search for the prince.
They've landed on a nearby forest via transport aircraft, were they then enter the village, spreads out and begins their search. They've been searching for a couple of minutes until Marianne saw some of the villagers running. "C'mon! If you don't hurry up! We're going to miss the burning of the demon!" Shouted the man to his friends.
It was then Marianne realized that they've been talking about her nephew and they're going to kill him. She then contacted the other search teams to rally to her. Moments later they've arrive to where the prince is, they jumped to the roof for a better view, and they were horrified by what they saw. Marianne saw down on the alley was a mob of 50 people or more and some shinobi is cursing, yelling, spitting and hitting a young boy who is no doubt her nephew, Nathan N. nu Britannia. Completely ignoring the airships in the sky.
Marianne was angry when she saw the video evidence, and to see this actually happening right before her very eyes just make her blood boil. These fools will definitely feel the wrath of the Empress.
The men stop their beating, but they were not finish. "Who wants to see the demon burn!" Yelled the one who is clearly the leader. The mob cheered as he went to grab the boy, but before he could even touch him, the boy disappears along with his hand. He realizes that his hand was cut off as he screams in pain.
The mob saw a woman with long raven hair carrying the 'demon brat' in her arms, glaring at them. "Who the heck are you?!" Shouted someone from the group. The woman who is revealed to be Marianne didn't answer.
"I should be the one who ask the questions." Marianne said in a menacing tone. "Now why are you a mob of over 50 people, attack this helpless young boy." She said knowing their answer.
"THAT IS NO BOY! THAT"S A DEMON IN DISGUISE, A MONSTER, AN ABOMINATION! WHO KILLED HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE!" Roared the leader who is still clutching his arm since he's missing a hand.
Marianne just glare at them. "Weak-minded savages." She said in a disgusted tone. Of course the mob reacted badly to what she said.
"What did you just call us?!"
"She's one of those demon lovers!"
"You're DEAD!"
The shinobi charged at her with the civilian mob following behind them. But they suddenly stop when the two ninja who is leading the charge was attacked, the first ninja was cut in half by man with turquoise hair while the the other one was attack by a red hair woman who uses a mace to smash ninja's skull. The man is Jeremiah Gottwald, Marianne's most trusted subordinate, and the woman is none other than Risty.
Risty turn and saw the cuts and bruises on her nephew, the mere sight of this just fill her with rage. "Bastards, you're gonna pay for you did."
"You dare try to assault the Empress of Britannia!" Snarled Jeremiah pointing his bloodstained sword at them, ready to kill anyone who dare attack the Empress.
"She's an Empress?!" Said one of the mob member.
Then the Elite Royal Guards appeared, were ten of them stood behind the Empress while the others stood on the rooftops surrounding the mob. And five aircraft fly near them pointing their weapons at the mob.
The mob were now scared of this, until Marianne suddenly speak. "Soldiers! Execute this fools for the assault and attempted murder of a member of the Britannian Imperial Family!" Ordered the Empress.
"Yes your Majesty!" Jeremiah, Risty and the Elite Royal Guards charged at the mob.
The scared civilians try to flee while the shinobi tried to fight them off, but the Britannians eliminate them with little to no effort, and the other Royal Guards quickly dispatch the rest of the mob.
Seeing that the fools dead Marianne realized that she was still carrying her new found nephew who was very injured and unconscious, she quickly ordered an aircraft to take them away to the main battleship.
Minutes later. Leaf Council Room
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the rest of the council members in their seats waiting for Emperor of Britannia. Soon enough, the large double doors opened were the Emperor and his entourage entered.
"Presenting his Imperial Majesty! The 98th Emperor and Empress of the Holy Britannian Empire." Announced the Royal Guard, Charles and Claudia was accompanied by a blonde hair woman name Monica Kruszewski the Knight of Twelve, and a red hair man, this man is Gremory Uzumaki the head of the Uzumaki clan's Britannian Branch, and a grand duke of Britannia.
Charles and Claudia take their seats while Gremory, Monica and the Royal Guards stood behind them.
The Hokage was first to speak. "Welcome to our Village your Majesty, I was rather surprise that you're here despite the fact that your country have cut all ties with us."
Charles could see the nervous looks on their faces. "The reason to why we are here, is that we've discover that this village had committed a terrible crime against our Empire."
Hiruzen and the council members became worried when they heard this. "What crime have we commit? People from our village has never step foot in your country since you forbids it." Said one of the village elders, Koharu Utatane.
It was then, four people entered the room. "The crime that this village committed is kidnap, abuse, assault and attempted murder of a member of the Britannian Imperial Family." Said Marianne accompanied by Jeremiah, Villetta and Risty as she seat next to Charles.
Hiruzen became worried when he saw Villetta. He now realize the reason why the Emperor had come in their village. He was even more worried about Risty, the person they trick into abandon her nephew.
"And the said member is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Nathan N. nu Britannia, our nephew. The boy that you all know as Naruto Uzumaki." She continued, shocking council with exception of the Hokage, the Elders, and Hiashi.
One of the civilian council member Sakiri Haruno suddenly shout in denial. "IMPOSSIBLE! THE DEMON BRAT IS THE SON OF THE FOURTH HOKAGE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THA-ACK!" Sakiri was interrupted when Claudia suddenly disappears and reappears next to her, holding Sakiri by her throat, lifting her in the air.
"Fools like you should know when to hold their tongues. And if I EVER hear anyone call my nephew that filthy name again, I WILL BURN THEM ALIVE! Is. that. CLEAR!" Roared Claudia as she let her go.
Claudia returned to her seat. Charles and his entourage are satisfied that she put foolish woman in her place. the council was still processing the information that they heard. The civilian began shout in anger and denial.
"But your Majesty, you've must be mistaken, the boy can't be the son of the Fourth. The boy is just a orphan with no name. He may look like the Fourth Hokage, but he is not his son. The Hokage explained that it was the side effect of the seal." Spoke one of civilian members.
"He is right, your Majesty. Hes not your nephew." Argued a civilian.
"There is no proof." Said another.
"SILENCE!" Roared the Emperor as he is starting to lose his temper on this fools.
"If you idiots want proof, then here's your proof!"Risty said as shows them a piece of paper with a seal on it. "This seal is called the Blood Analysis Seal, It will let us know if a person belong to a clan or family. I used this seal on the kid, and it confirmed that he is the son of Minato and Kushina."
After she said this, the council was about to argue but Hiashi is first to speak. "What she said is true. The boy, Nathan is the one and only son of the Fourth." Hiruzen glared at Hiashi since it was supposed to be a secret, but since they've already know the truth and have proven it, it is now pointless to hide it.
They turn to look at Hiashi. "If you knew about this, then why didn't you contacted us?" Asked Charles pretending that he know nothing.
"The Hokage forbids us, your Majesty." Hiashi answers simply.
At this Charles glares at the Hokage who flinch. "I tried to convince them to send little Nathan to you, I tried to tell them the consequences if they lie and keep the boy here." Said Hiashi.
"Forgive me, your Majesty. But I was only doing this to protect him from his father's enemies, I know that I made mistakes and..." The nervous Hokage was interrupted by Marianne.
"Your MISTAKES will cost you dearly you old fool!" She said with anger. "You not only hide him from us, but you just let him suffer at the hands of your people!" Hiruzen lower his head in shame since he is not doing a good job in protecting the boy. "He was being attacked by a mob of fools when I found him!"
"Please your majesty, I can assure that they will be punish for..." He was again interrupted.
"How? Few days in prison? Pay small fine? Community service for a few hours?" Mocked the Emperor. "We already know that you do NOTHING to persecute those savages" This of course shock the Hokage.
"For those who recently assaulting my nephew. They were already executed." Marianne said in an icy tone.
The council was shock, and the Hokage knew that its gonna get bloody, since the Britannians never tolerate such crime against the members of their family.
Danzo then decided to speak. "We could have protected the Namikaze heir if we have known of his heritage. And I promise you your Majesty, that the council will provide protection for the boy from now on."
"Your 'protection' is no longer needed as my nephew will never step foot in this village again!" said the Emperor.
However Danzo wasn't going to back down. "He is the son of the Fourth Hokage and the heir to the Namikaze clan. He should stay here."
"In case you didn't know, the Fourth Hokage HIMSELF declared his son the new prince of Britannia since he is a member of the Imperial Family, he right to do so. He ordered me to take him to his uncle the Emperor. But I wasn't able to complete that task because I was arrested for trump up charges!" Spat Villetta.
"Nonetheless he is the jinchuriki of the Nine Tail Fox, therefore a property of the Leaf village." Danzo said not knowing that is his worse choice of words which infuriated the Britannians.
"PROPERTY OF THIS VILLAGE!?" Spat Risty as Monica grab hold of her arm to keep her from ripping him to shreds.
"So is that what you see him!? A living weapon with no emotions!?" Said Claudia, she was tempting to reach for her sword and cut the fool into pieces.
The council was paralyzed with fear as they could feel the killer intent that the Britannians released. After a minute or so the Emperor and his entourage calm down, releasing the pressure much to the pleasure of the council members.
"If that is the case, then this village will be destroyed." Charles said shocking the council.
"Please your Majesty, there's need to start a war over this." Pleaded the Hokage.
"Its not war, rather its eviction and prosecution."State the Emperor. "Your Daimyo was disgusted by how you let a innocent child, a prince be tormented and abused and not punish the one responsible. He even sign a contract, granting us supreme authority and complete control over your village for three days starting today, so we can punish this village since you lack the will to do it." Stated the Emperor. The council was surprised that their Daimyo would agree to them.
"But your Majesty, it will be an insult to your cousin's memory if you destroy the village he loves." Said Homura hoping that it could deter the destruction of the village.
"It won't be an insult since you've already did, by abusing his son." Retorted the Emperor.
Hiashi then decided to speak. "Perhaps there is another way to avoid destruction and bloodshed, your Majesty." Everyone turn their attention to the Hyuga clan head. "We can avoid all of this through the betrothal that me and Minato set up between my eldest daughter and his son. I have the betrothal contract that we've sign in my compound for safe keeping."
"Yes, Minato did tell me all about it." Said Charles as he thinks about it. "If you want me to agree to this, you must first agree to my condition."
Hiashi nod as he understands. Charles then continued. "My condition is simple, your daughter Hinata Hyuga will not be sealed with your clan's Cage Bird Seal." The council was surprised by his condition, in fact, his condition isn't so simple at all considering that the Hyuga clan is very protective of their bloodline.
"I accept your conditions, your majesty." Hiashi replied which surprised the council.
"Good, and if your clan's elders ask why, here is my reason; I don't want any future members of the Britannian Imperial family branded like a slave." Hiashi nod in agreeing with the Emperor's reason. "And we will declare a blood feud with your clan if they did put the seal on her or break our agreement." Said Charles in a serious tone.
"I understand our Majesty."
The council sign in relief knowing that with the betrothal, Hyuga clan will be allied with the Britannian Empire because of it, and to the extent, the Leaf village. And therefor their village is safe.
"But that doesn't mean we will halt our plan to persecute the criminals, and the contract that the Daimyo sign is still in effect." Charles said making the council worry since they can't do anything about it. "And my wife Claudia, will be the temporary governor of this village." He said. "But first things first, Gremory will you do the honor?"
"Yes your majesty." Gremory replied as he disappears, he then reappears next to the Hokage were he quickly grab the old man by his neck. "Hiruzen Sarutobi, for the crimes you've committed against the prince and also the Holy Britannian Empire, you are sentenced to be tortured mentally." Gremory then place his finger on the Hokage's head and a seal emerges, after three seconds the Hokage began screaming in pain.
"This curse seal will make you experience prince Nathan's painful memories were you could even feel it. And it will torment you for the rest of your miserable, pathetic live. And if you ever try to tamper or remove it, the seal will activate its second effect which it will instantly kill you." Spoke the Grand Duke of Britannia.
The council began to protest against this, their ranting just annoy the Britannians and Risty had enough of it. "SHUT UP! That old man got what he deserves, and he should be lucky that he's not going to be executed! So quit your yapping!" This effectively silence the council.
"Now that has been dealt with, it's time for us to leave." The Emperor and his entourage left the room, leaving Claudia, and four Royal Guards behind.
"Send them in." Claudia ordered one of the Guards to which he nod and contacted someone on his earpiece.
After a minute or two. Thirty Britannian soldiers entered the room were ten of them pointed their weapons at the civilian council members.
"What is the meaning of this?!" asked a confused and frighten civilian member.
He didn't get his answer as the Empress of Britannia spoke. "This is my first order as governor; arrest the civilian council members for their crimes of abusing, tormenting and leading attacks on a prince."
"Yes your Majesty!" The ten soldiers arrest the civilian who tried to resist but was quickly suppress by the soldier either by punching them in the face or gut, after a small ruckus they've dragged the civilians away.
Claudia then turn her attention to the Hokage, who just recovered. "My second order is that you will announce my nephew's heritage. Tonight, and no excuses"
"But your ma-"
"I said no excuses!"Said Claudia. "And now I issue my third order; complete lock down of this village no can leave but those who were outside on missions or business can enter, because tomorrow we will begin our mission to deliver justice to this savages."
"This is outrageous, you can't just order our shinobis to persecute our own people." Argued Koharu.
"If they can't follow a simple command and punish criminals then they should stay out of our way and let my men handle it, as they are eager to do it themselves."Stated the Empress. "Now that there's nothing else to say, meeting is over."
Everyone left the room preparing for events to come.
Hours later
Half of the Britannia's floating fleet left with Emperor leaving the rest under Claudia's command. Britannian soldiers is occupying the the Leaf village, some of the Floating Battleships landed outside of the village unloading tanks, APC, and more soldiers, surrounding the village and setting up blockades.
The villagers were nervous and curious about the presence of the Britannians and the news of lockdown. They soon heard news that the Hokage will making a very important announcement tonight.
The Hokage just finishes write a speech that will hopefully ease the crowd and not cause a riot.
When night came, Hiruzen arrives on top of the Hokage mansion and announces the news, but before he could tell them about Nathan's heritage he was interrupted by Empress Claudia who was displease when she read his speech and decided to tell them herself.
The Empress proceeds to tell them about about her nephew heritage. The revelations shock the villagers but soon many started shout in denial not accepting the truth. Claudia silenced them by casting a powerful lightning spell which she shoots at the sky, the spell also created a loud thunder scaring the villagers.
Claudia tells them how angry and disgusted the Imperial Family were when they heard their crimes of abuse and assault on the prince and get away with it, she then tells them that their daimyo was appalled by what they've done and gives her complete control and authority over the Leaf village, so her soldier can persecute the criminals.
She then issues an order to all of the villagers to remain in their homes, anyone caught outside without good reasons will be punish severely.
7:00 AM.
The Britannians set up a base of operations on top of the Hokage Monument, they've placed a G1 Mobile Base near the cliff overlooking the village. Claudia sits on a throne like seat, the plan is simple; arrest every people who commit a crime on her nephew and torture or execute them or both, and thanks to Villetta's list which is now called the 'Black List', over 4000 villagers are in list. After reading some reports she turns to her three tactical officers. "Is everything in place?" She asked them.
"Yes your Majesty, perimeter outside the village, walls and gates is all secured." Replied one of them.
"Every units is on standby waiting for your orders."Said the second officer.
"Good, start the campaign." Ordered the Empress.
"Yes your Majesty!"
Britannian Soldiers
Soldiers waiting inside the village had begun a massive manhunt. Arresting everyone who's either in the Black List or caught outside their homes.
Currently there is ten civilians who is running through the streets.
"Halt! I said HALT!"Said the pilot in an aircraft, as he kept on chasing the group. He saw some soldiers chasing them.
"They're not going to surrender themselves. Eliminate them!" Said the pilot to the soldiers through the radio.
The soldiers who were chasing them took out their guns and began shooting them. They manage to kill seven of civilians while the surviving three run through the alley, as they nearing the other side a soldier jumped from the roof and landed in their path, the soldier throws a human size fireball at them killing the civilians with his fire spell.
Residential District
Soldiers are surrounding the area around an apartment complex. They then entered the apartment were they're going to arrest some people.
In a room, three people saw what was happening on the other side of the street, the two who are civilians started to panic. "We've got to get out of here before they found us!" said the first man.
"Don't worry, I have a secret safe house just outside the village." The shinobi said to his friends. He walked to the door when suddenly a soldier break through the door wielding a sword. Before he could even react, the soldier stabs him.
"Mizuki!"
A second soldier enters and saw the two civilians, then point his assault rifle at them and shoots, killing them.
The soldiers then take a look of the corpses faces. "Targets has been confirm and terminated, moving out." The two exited the room.
Business District
A group of 30 shinobis tried to resist by barricading themselves in a two story building, they use jutsus, throw shurikens, kunais and any other weapons at soldiers outside. The soldier take cover behind APC and humvees and responded by using spells and firing their guns at them, soon enough a tank arrives at the scene.
"Cavalry has arrive, whats the situation?" Asked the tank crew commander to the soldiers.
"We've got hostiles in that two story building! All of them are on the Black List so show no mercy!" Said the platoon leader.
"Alright boys, lets blow 'em wide open!" The commander said to his crew.
The tank fires at the building, blowing up the front wall, some of the shinobis were stunned by the explosion. The soldiers joined by firing rockets and explosive spells, reducing the building into rubble killing all inside.
Not far in the streets. Soldiers are arresting some civilians while the other group of civilians are trying to resist. "We will not follow demon worshiping foreigners like you!" Shouted a resisting civilian. The answer that these civilians get was a brutal beating to submission.
"And stay down!" Shouted a soldier a he kicked the civilian in the head.
Claudia
Its been two hours since the start of the campaign. The Empress is pleased that its all going smoothly.
"9th squad is finish persecuting."
"Third platoon is engaging some shinobis, but its nothing they can't handle."
"11th squad house raiding is a success."
"Over 1200 criminals has been successfully persecuted." Report the third officer.
"Good. Now tell the three units to proceed to the next target." Ordered the Empress.
"Yes your Majesty!"
Hospital
Doctors and nurses were very busy at the hospital, helping the people who were injured during the campaign, and the number of casualties just keep adding up. Soon soldiers entered the hospital ordering them to come out to the court yard.
Hospital staff were force to ignore their duties and went to the court yard. They were rounded up, first group consist of nurses and other staff, the second is mostly doctors, and the third one is just a small group of 20 doctors and nurses. The head of the hospital is complaining to some soldiers.
"This is an outrage! You demon worshiping soldiers can't just barge-" One of the soldier fired his gun at him, effectively silencing him.
The hospital staff were shock by what the soldier did, he just killed him. " Why the hell did you do that, there are even children in here. Whats going on, we haven't done anything!"
"That is exactly why! The staff of this hospital refuses to help our prince, you all ignore him, left him to die! And worst of all..." The soldier create a fireball in his hand, the others do the same spell. "You 'doctors' have been using him as a lab rat for your sick experiments!" The soldiers shoots their fire spells at the group, burning them alive.
Streets
The soldiers have been persecuting dozens of shop owners and restaurant employees. Those who forbids Nathan to go inside have their business establishment trashed, destroying chairs and tables, breaking windows and doors, and many of their things burn just outside in front of their establishment. Those who beat up the prince ends up being beaten to a bloody pulp. And those who overcharges, give outdated groceries, and give rotten meals, lets just say it's not going to be pleasant.
"I didn't even know he's a prince! Please! Have mercy sir!" The restaurant owner got punched in the face.
"Perhaps you should thought of that before you try to murder our prince!" Snarled the soldier.
"M- Murder?!" The man stuttered.
"You were always giving him rotten food to eat, which means you are attempting murder him by food poisoning" The soldier said.
"Now get out!" The employees leave through the door, the owner tries to leave but he was stop by two soldiers who are blocking his way. "Except for you."
The soldier unsheathe his sword, before the owner could react he stabs the owner on the foot, he then stabs the owner again on the other foot. the owner cried out in pain as he clutches his bleeding feet.
The soldiers left the restaurant, closed the door, and fires a fire spell at the restaurant burning with the owner in it.
Orphanage
The matron and other staff of the orphanage is doing their work until someone knock on the door. The matron went to see who it is, she opens the door to see that a its the Britannian soldiers.
"Are you the matron of this orphanage; Namiko Todaka?" Asked the soldier in front of her.
"Yes, that would be me." She answered.
"By orders from her Imperial Majesty, you are under arrest." Two soldiers walk up to her and handcuff her.
The other soldiers went inside and orders the staff to come out. After lining them up an officer in a blue uniform and peaked cap arrives and starts identifying everyone for if one of them is in the copy of the Black List he's holding. After a minute or so he identified 12 out of 15 and the soldiers arrest them, .
"Where are you taking us?" Said one the scared staff.
"Isn't it obvious. We're taking you to the prison. But don't worry, we have already found someone to replace you." replied the soldier. Although he lied on the part were they'll take them to prison, in fact they're going take them outside the village were the staff will be executed and throw their bodies in the infamous Forest of Death.
Claudia
"9th unit, has the criminals in custody and is on route to the execution site."
"Persecution on restaurant and shop owners is still in progress."
"Platoon 7 has persecuted the hospital staff."
Claudia smirked, please with the progress. Until the second officer suddenly reports. "Your Majesty, one of our men reports an mob begins to form on the west side of the village."
"Riots and angry mobs had been reported on several parts of the village."
"Our units has been force to retreat."
"Your Majesty! A large angry mob has been spotted near the Hokage Mansion!" Reported the first officer.
She frowns at what shes hearing. Apparently these savages decided take arms and fight the inevitable. "So the savages think they can stop us. Foolish! I will not tolerate such insolence and disorder." She said. A loud thunder was heard, everyone who knew Claudia knows that when she is very angry, A thunderstorm suddenly appears, which is why she is feared as the Thundercloud Empress. "As Empress of the Empire I command you; Pacify the savages! Subdue with lethal force! Persecute with extreme prejudice! And show no mercy!"
Hokage Mansion
Britannian Military forces arrives at scene forming rank, a tank with soldiers lining up on the sides. The mob saw them and began booing and throwing rocks at them. Behind the tank is an officer in a blue military holds up a sword. "FIRE!" Commanded the officer.
The tank was first to fire at the crowd, killing or injuring several of them while the rest is stunned, the soldiers open fire at the dazed crowd.
Three apache arrives and began firing bullets and rockets at the crowd. Soldiers in the village has begun their massacre.
Hyuga Compound
Hiashi is in the living room sipping tea. He was rather happy, happy at the fact that Hinata won't be branded with the Cage Bird seal thanks to the Emperor's condition. He was glad that he brings up about the arrange marriage between his daughter and the prince. And because of this he save the village. Sadly he just save it from destruction, not persecution.
What can he do? These people abused and tormented Nathan, a PRINCE. And he knows that the Britannians will see this as an insult, therefore cannot be ignored. That is why this is must be done in order to avoid the wrath of the people of Britannia.
A Hyuga clan member entered the room. He kneels before Hiashi. "Hideki, What is the situation outside?"
"Its a complete chaos. Angry mob and riots have form all around the village. And the Empress she..." Hideki seems hesitant. "She ordered to her soldiers that every people who participated in the riots is to be killed."
Hiashi sign. These people just have to start a riot, they just making it worse for themselves.
"Lord Hiashi. Should we do something?" Hideki asked him.
"No. We will not make a conflict with the Britannians." Hiashi replied. "These people made a terrible mistake by taking arms against her Imperial Majesty."
Britannian Soldiers
"Kill the savages! All troops exterminate the savages!"
"Don't let any escape!"
"Kill them all!"
The soldiers used sword, spells and guns to kill anyone who take part the riots. Ground vehicles and aircraft are chasing mobs, slaughtering them.
"Show me the prisoners." Ordered an officer. The soldiers complied by bringing in 15 civilians and 8 ninjas. The officer glares at them, then walks away. "There are no prisoners."
After he said this. The soldiers behind the villagers took out their knives and simultaneously slit the villagers throat.
"Throw this garbage at the Forest of Death, these savages doesn't deserve a proper funeral." Said one of the soldiers.
The Britannians continue their onslaught. Helicopters hunting down fleeing ninjas, mobs fleeing from tanks and APC.
Soon Jeremiah arrives with four other Elite Royal Guards. "These garbage doesn't even deserve to be called humans, why bother we left one of them." Said one of them Guard indicating at the people who join the riots.
Jeremiah smirks. "Naturally." He agreed with them as they watch the soldiers cornered a group of villagers in the alley, which the soldiers proceed in killing them. "Is there ninjas resisting in this area?" He asked one of the tactical officer through his earpiece.
"Yes, one of our men was fighting a band of ninjas, west from your position. The ninjas are veterans which is why they're having a hard time. They need immediate assistance."
"Good, Looks like I gonna have a little fun with these savages." Jeremiah said as he went to where the ninja are.
The Hokage Mansion
Hiruzen is in his office watching the whole event. He is deeply saddened, he knew that all of this is his fault, he is to blame for all that is happening to his people. He greatly regretted his decision concerning the prince.
He saw a group of civilians on a roof of a building, trying desperately to call for his help. He couldn't do anything for them, soldiers surrounded the mansion making sure he stays here.
A rocket came flying at them, destroying the roof and killing the civilians. A helicopter, little bird fly pass the building, no doubt that it was that who fires the rocket.
Claudia
Its been hours since the Empress give her orders. "Suppression of area 4 is complete. 8th and 11th mechanized company is now routing the remaining stragglers."
"What's the sitrep." Said the Empress.
"Over 6000 civilians and ninjas dead, 430 are arrested." reported the third officer.
"And what about ours?"
"28 dead, 527 wounded." Said the first officer.
"Your Majesty. What are we going to do with the prisoners?" Asked the first officer.
"For what they did, they are savages and criminals, we shall make an example out of them. Divide them into two groups, the first group shall be punish by torture, tell our men that they can use any torture devices or techniques. The second will be executed along with the civilian council members tomorrow night." Said the Empress.
The Next Day. 8:00 am. Training area 66
After a military crackdown yesterday. In an open tent Claudia is on a throne sipping tea, she is witnessing the punishment of the savages who foolishly cause unnecessary trouble.
The soldiers torture them in many ways, whipping, put on a stretch rack, crucifixion. And the execution also varies like hanging, beheading and burning on a stake.
The civilian councilors were present in this and their torture is the worse. Teeth been pulled, limbs been broke, and their bodies is covered in cuts and bruises.
The council members will be tortured until 9pm were they'll be executed on top of the Hokage Mansion.
9:00 pm.
Soldiers are tying the civilian council members at the pole while Empress Claudia watches. An officer soon speaks. "Shin Ashikaga, Sakiri Haruno, Akira Hojo, Heita Asai, and Taichi Amako. All of you are found guilty of abusing a member of the Britannian Imperial Family, kidnapping, plotting and leading attacks..."
One of the council member Akira suddenly speaks up. "I'm sorry! We did not know-" He was punched on the jaw by one of the soldiers who were tying them up.
"Quiet you! You think we're going to forgive you for what you did!" The soldier punch him again. "I knew I should cut of your tongue!"
"Persecuting without evidence and out of spite..."
"Please! Give us another chance!" Pleaded Taichi but he was ignored.
"Neglecting and ignoring the prince in his time of need..."
Taicho is desperately trying to get loose but to no avail.
"Encouraging other people to harm the prince..."
Shin is now crying like a baby and calling out for his mama. Annoyed by their constant whining, the soldiers had enough of it. They gagged the council members with torn rags.
"Those and the other crimes you've committed, you are all sentenced to death." Spoke the officer.
The soldiers finished tying them up, they kept their distance. A group of ten soldiers form a line facing the council members.
An officer is behind the line. "Take aim!" He ordered as the soldiers point their guns at them. Seeing the scared look on their faces the officer smirks then give his order. "FIRE!"
The soldiers fired their guns, each of them fired at least 10-15 bullets before they stop.
Claudia breathe a sigh of relief, It was finally over, the campaign was a success. "Lets go home." She said as she leaves for her ship.
Next Day.
It was the day of mourning for the people of the leaf village. Men loading corpses in the carts, women cleaning the blood of the streets, and the rest is repairing the damages during the failed revolt. Some people blame the whole thing on themselves for there mistreatment of the prince, some blame the Hokage and some who couldn't let go of their hatred for the demon Fox blame the whole event on Nathan, even though he didn't do anything.
None of them know of the hardship that is about to come in the future.

Charles is going to be young in this story, probably in his mid 40s or late 30. Unlike 63 in Code Geass
Here's my questions about my story:
1. Is the story okay?
2. Should this story be crossover with Code Geass since it involves the Britannian Empire and also some characters from Code Geass?
3. Did they went too far in punishing the villagers?
Read and review.
