Naruto and the crew took a break to land. They didn't see anyone familiar, just a bunch of jounin fighting off the hyuga and the neo hyuga. "Come on, what are you two waiting on!" Ino yelped. Naruto sniffed, "Kurama?" Kurama was sniffing for him. "Hey, naruto." Kurama spoke. "Yeah?"
"Your friend or the enemy.. I can't sense their energy." Shikamaru glanced, "You're kidding!" Ino put her hands over her mouth, "Does that mean..." Kurama-possessed naruto sighed, "Sorry to say, but Choji Akimichi.. is already in the next life." Ino couldn't stop crying.
"Ino! Choji told us not to get emotional in battle! That was one of his biggest quotes! Take his advice." Ino wiped her tears, "You're right.." Naruto got back in control of his body, "Damnit.. they got choji, but one of their guys is gone too. We can't let this hold us back, let's go!"
The three continued, until finally, they found kakashi and guy fighting some grunts. "Damnit, these guys won't stop!" Kakashi shoved his raikiri through another. The three landed. Guy did an over exaggerated spin kick to clear some of the enemies, and ended in a show-off like pose. "Good thing you guys came, I was starting to break a sweat." Kakashi looked back. "Naruto, what's going on?" Kurama took control again, "These neo hyuga.. their leader, a former guard of naruto, has taken control of the hyuga. We haven't seen most of the actual hyuga yet, but the neo hyuga are part of these guys. They wish to destroy us."
"Kakashi-sensei, have you seen any other of us konoha 11?" Kakashi shook his head, "I'm afraid not. They're probably out on a mission, or fighting somewhere else." More and more grunts came in, getting stronger by the moment. Some had their byakugan, some didn't.
"We won't win at this rate.. we're losing too much men!" Kakashi worried. Naruto went into Kyuubi Chakra Mode. "We'll just have to fight them off as long as we can!"
Outside of the village, there was an unsuspecting Shino and Kiba, they were noticing the battle, but had no idea to what was going on. "This is odd.." Akamaru barked. "It looks like there is an attack.." Shino had bugs crawling down his spine. A man landed, in a mask, with a sword, and with vessels popped on his very skin, showing he had byakugan activated. "A hyuga.." The man spoke coldly, "I am number 9 of the neo hyuga army, Vandheer.. Lorde."
"Neo Hyuga.. army?" The man drew his sword, "I do not have time to explain. Drop dead." The man charged at them, but shino stood, the man was being pulled into the ground by insects. "An aburame.. You think these pathetic pests can stop me? Demon Fist: Air Slash!"
Within his sword, great chakra was inputted and as he slashed, the insects were pushed back. "Take a look at your sword.." The very metal was being eaten by the insects. "Their teeth can claw up to titanium." The man dropped his sword. Akamaru turned into a clone of kiba. "Fang over Fang!" Kiba cried, as the two attacked him from both directions. "Demon Fist: Deflection!" He put both of his hands out and the two were sent flying, with huge wounds on their backs, and landed knocked out, face first.
"Kiba!" Shino cried, it was too late. "If I can make an aburame cry for his teamate.. that's a testament to how weak konoha is now." Shino reached his hands out, "Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!" The insects formed a tornado as fast as Shino could say it. "I can see right through them. They have no chakra. They're just pests! Demon Fist: Air Palm!" he held his hands out, and the insects were scattered, dead, but more arose. "It will take much more than that to get rid of my insects."
Vandheer jumped, "Take this, then!" The man had a chakra palm in his hands, and it grew to a chakra arrow. "All neo hyuga can absorb chakra, destroy it, and morph it as we please. You are worthless, you swine!" He shot an arrow straight through Shino, and shino crouched in pain, revealing his full face, bleeding out of the mouth.
The man picked up his sword that was half eaten by the very powerful insects. He pointed his sword at the neck of Shino. The sword was now imbued with heavy chakra, easily able to slice through metal. "Any last words, aburame?" Vandheer spat. All of a sudden, the neo hyuga was cut through the stomach in a flash, he couldn't see the flash, but he saw a mark of lightning.
"You can do whatever you want to the village, because I have respect, I will not let you kill a former comrade, because I pity him." Vandheer spit blood through his mask, "Sasuke.. are... you a.. traitor?" Sasuke grinned, "No. I never said anything about betraying you guys, but they told me to sit out until the actual hyuga started attacking, and i got bored." Vandheer grasped his sword hard. "You.. sadistic uchiha.. You're just another common criminal.. and another common uchiha who thinks he's better than everybody because he's blessed!"
Sasuke yelled, "Sharingan is a curse! You have no idea, you worm! You're a low-class hyuga!" The man charged at sasuke, relentlessly. Sasuke's right eye had his eternal mangekyo sharingan in it. "Amaterasu." Shino watched as the man was burned to the bone. "I wonder if the other's are stronger.. currently, you neo hyuga haven't shown much of a challenge."
Shino whispered, "Is that you, sasuke?" He could barely see, he was in so much pain. Sasuke didn't respond. "I have other things to do right now, I can't talk." Sasuke walked past the ninja battling into the village. "I can't bring myself to kill konoha, after what Hashirama said. Should I really do this.." He looked at the entrance of the village, ignoring the chaos around him as he got farther into the entrance of the village.
The boy was faced with the hardest decision of his life. He had killed even killed members of the group he sided with. He just saved two of his former comrades, despite not knowing them very well. He didn't know what side he was on. "Sasuke, are you an ally?" A familiar jonin asked, a grunt replied, "Sasuke, help me kill this weakling!" Sasuke cut both of them effortlessly. He looked at naruto's statue on the hokage monument. "Alright.." He took a breath.
"This is what I choose!" Sasuke ran deep into the village, to find the one person he was looking for. He drowned out the sounds of war, the sounds he had heard too often, pain, and suffering. He drowned all of them out. Naruto and the others were running to help more defenseless citizens, and more struggling chunin and jounin. They all stopped when they ran into sasuke. "Sasuke?" His sensei asked.
"Naruto." Naruto looked in confusion of why sasuke would want him now. "Yeah, sasuke?" Sasuke clenched his fist, "I'm on the side of the Neo Hyuga. But I don't want to fight any one of you. The Neo Hyuga base of operations 20 miles northeast from here. Hinata is there. It's just about abandoned now, with only this kagehi guy and another guy there. She's the only one there not one of them. If push comes to serve, stop me, and make sure you kill me."
"Sasuke.." Sasuke punched naruto, "Go now! She is waiting!" Naruto nodded, "R..RIGHT! Make sure this situation is cleared up! I'm going to that base." In kyuubi chakra mode, naruto sped away at the speed of light. "And for you, sasuke?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm sorry, but they have the souls of my clan. I don't want to make enemies with you, but.. it looks like later on in this attack, I might have to."
"Lord Kagehi. Naruto Uzumaki is heading here." Kagehi laughed, "Hold him off, I am going into the battlefield with the others. I was his guard, and i spied on him for YEARS. I can predict that child's every movement." The man grinned, "Fufufu.. if that is what you wish for me to do. I, Number 8, 'Holder of Souls' Nanashibi hyuga, is coming for you naruto.."
