Chapter 3
The gods could not have asked for a better day. To kill and destroy Konoha nins. The army of Suna, gathered to protect his gates, while the army of Konoha, along with his allies, gathered, on a more aggresive ground. Unaware of what is to become of them. Beyond the hills the army of Naruto, also known as the Hellenistica. Were performing a pagan ritual, to bless their fortunes on this day. They have caught a bovine, ready to be sacrificed by their comander.
"Blood, is the life which the world was born." A priest chant. While the generals were making a circle.
"Blood is the food of the spirits below." He continued to chant, as Naruto drew a sword.
"And from blood all men are born, and die" He finished his chant, as Naruto drew his sword into the bull neck. Spilling its blood all over its face. Cleaning it with a wet towel, he climbs on top of his stallion. As he takes a better look of his army, this is the dream that he has allways waited for. The complete destruction of the Konoha village. In his army, were men from all the corners of the Earth. Phalanxes, War Elephants, Praetorian Cohorts, War Chariots, Archers, Cataphract calvary, Heavy calvary, Light calvary, Mercenaries, Pirates, Viking war men. All that he could gather, as long as he sees the village hidden in the leaves in ashes. Along with Siege equipment, when the time came.
His army is soon given the order to march as they will be put on the view of Konoha nins.
--Konoha lines--
They were indeed tired, from marching in the heating sun. Suna was a jewel, to them. But at a hard price, as most of this men, were exhausted. The vultures have been following them, as if they know that they are heading for their doom. Sasuke Uchiha, the appointed commander, was trying to keep the group in line, through they noticed that his charisma was more than faulty. And some of them felt that they were heading to their doom.
Sasuke Uchiha was a narcissist. He believed that he was destined for a great role, that every male was inferior to him, even his closest relatives. He in other words was Danzo's pet. To keep the order of his armies in check. To avoid making faulty lines. To equal a god like sensation. He was indeed for a surprise, as he saw an army gathering in the horizon, they were not Nins, so he knew perfectly that this did not belonged to neither Kabuto nor his own village. The numbers of so said army were more than perhaps 500,000. His sharingan activated, much to his surprised as he saw who was leading that army.
--Sound--
Kabuto smiled, as he saw the commander of that army. "So it appears your back then, lets just see how much you have improved." He said, as he commanded his own followers to make themselves appear, and unite both forces. In order to make themselves more formidable.
--Suna--
Gaara knew that his closest friend would never failed him. Even through they are in for a ferocious battle, his army would most than likely destroy the enemy. He looked to see, as Naruto made a surprising move.
--Hellenistica--
Realizing that the skirmish will not be fair, he orders some of his troops to sit this one out. Only leaving the phalanxes, and the heavy chalvary. Knowing that he will need the others as a reserve, ounce he crosses the unpenetrable walls of Konoha, and in his dream see the village burnt to the ground. This only left him with 80,000 men, 1nd 5,000 horses, ready to trample the lines of Konoha. He knows that they still have an advantage in numbers, as he goes to talk to his red haired friend.
"So, why did you remove those troops out?" Gaara asked, a little worried.
"Don't worry, we still have an advantage in numbers, but i want to keep those forces safe." Naruto responded back, as he stays on the back of his stallion.
"So are you going to fight then?" Asked Gaara.
"Of course, this will be the chance to drive my sword to his neck." He pointed at Sasuke Uchiha.
"So you really hate them then." said Gaara.
"Indeed, and this is my chance to make them beg. Ill organized my troops, and then we will fight." said Naruto, as he rided towards his army. Gaara looked amazed, he has truly changed.
As Naruto arrived at his army, he looked upon the skies, seeing a hawk, flying around, noticing the skirmish. He takes this as a good omen. before going to talk to his man, to give them courage, and support. This will be the battle, of battles. What he promised himself the day he left the walls of Konoha. He is mounted, as he looked towards his own army. Phalanxes, and scared brave men. The best of the best of the best. This is in fact the decisive battle that he promised them years ago.
"Cappa, I still mourned your brother, and your father. The day that he died. He was a brave men, protecting his homeland from a tyrant, a tyrant that we here today, are going to bury to the ground. You fight for them now." He looked towards a six foot man, carying a spear, as he lowered his head in respect, and gave out a cheer. "Alcava, i heard that you could crush a man skull with one hand, will you drive that phalanx into any man, including a Konoha nin." He said quietly, as the man he was talking to a tall seven and a half foot man, raised his spear, and cheered in a comedical way, which made the rest of the others laughed.
Naruto smiled at this, as he pointed to the unified forces of Konoha, and the sound. "Today, you fight for your dream of wealth and empire. Today you fight as free men. They have gathered an army, thinking that it will be enough, that it will stop your roar. But i say, let them come for me, and we will give them hell." He said, while his entire army chanted, and cheered. "Every one of you is worth any number of them, Now look to your front, mark your target when it comes." At this the cheers increased, and a chill of fear, crosses the spine of the enemy, and for ounce in his lifetime, Uchiha remembered the moment of his vision off death.
"May the gods bless us." He roared, as he put, something of a Grecko Roman helmet on his face, decorated with silver gold, and two feathers on top of it, sticking out, making it look like intimidating horns. Before riding through his army, meeting with his royal calvary. Ordering it to follow him, as he heads to the left outskirts of the battlefield.
--Konoha and allies line--
"Where does he go?" Sasuke asked Sai.
"I don't know." He answered in return.
"Get rid of him." Sasuke responded in command, as Sai, goes with his own unit to try and capture him.
--Hellenistica Middle--
One of the generals, this one given the name of Hastion. His orders were to get the phalanx ready. He himself is the commander of this large group of mercenaries. Normally they work for wealth, but he and Naruto formed a strong friendship, so they have taken the decision to help in this war, just as long as they get to see a new strange world. With new forms of wealth, and most importantly women. As they have never been this far to Asia.
"Phalanx!! Formation!!" Hastion yelled in his great deep voice, as the lines took their spears, in almost perfect order, and formed their phalanx. Soon the trumphet was sounded for the unit to begin marching towards enemy lines.
--Konoha lines--
The military of Konoha consisted of Anbu, Jounins, and high ranked Gennins. Not to mention three units of paesants. As soon as Sasuke, saw the movement towards him, he sent the paesants. But even before they could get to their lines, they fell in a mercyless slaughter. As the sharp beginings of the phalanx, penetrated some, and trampled others. What was left of the unit, was but a mere 200. Out of the first thousand. Which routed, and did not rally back. Soon Sasuke gave the orders for his Gennins, to attack, but the result came in a higher consequences.
--Suna--
Gaara has moved part of his army into Kabuto's own. The battle seems to be a stalemate. And Gaara fight with Kabuto seemed to be going no where. As both laid similar blows to each other, and their attacks seemed similar. Gaara used his sand to try and capture him, but to no avail, as he used Orochimaru power to block his sand. Next Kabuto summoned a giant snake, which caused more trouble to Gaara, but he was soon able to strangle it. And along with a little help from Kankuro he was able to sent Kabuto flying. As for the common army, they seemed to be in a total stalemate, untill one of Hellenistica light calvary trumpled the enemy from the rear, turning the side of battle towards Suna.
--Naruto calvary--
The trap was set, as he saw that Sai, and his Anbu were getting closer to him. He gave out an order, and at least 15, Hellena legions, were called out, and attacked the Anbu from their side. Soon Naruto turned his army around, and attacked the Anbu from the front. Making it a big massacre, as they were out in dry lands. The only choice the Anbu had was to retreat. As Sai comes face to face, with the boy, that inspired him the most.
"Naruto, whats the point of this threason." Sai said, in his usual cold voice.
"This is no threason, this is freedom." He said as he drove his sword, through Sai's chest. killing him, before he could make any defensive move. As one Anbu went to attack Naruto, by surprise, he received a surprise himself, when he noticed that his arm was missing. Cut out by one of Naruto calvary men.
--Konoha lines--
Sasuke was able to see this view, and another chill of fear, crossed his spine. He never thought that the one he considered a brother was able to do such a thing. Much less kill one of his own friends. He sent his Jounin to attack the phalanx, without knowladge, that he left a great hole in his own lines.
--Naruto calvary--
He closed Sai eyes, as his corpse laid on the ground. For his final resting place. Before taking a look at the Konoha lines, and noticing the falter in them. He was going to take this chance, as he rided with his calvary towards the fault line, he could very well defeat Konoha on this, and most importantly capture on of his generals. He allready have plans to set if such a thing happened. And it won't be mercifull, it might go as far as the most cruel torture in history. His calvary was but a few yards away, from defeating Konoha.
