Chapter 5: War is on its way
Tatsuo fell back form the strike of his sword, it had been blocked perfectly by Hattori. Tatsuo moved from his left to his right, figuring which way would be the best way to attack the flame element sword master. Tatsuo could already noticed that the other two had grown tired of this training leaving just him and Hattori to spar, which they had been for 3 hours without a winner yet. As Tatsuo figured out his plan for his hopeful victory, something came out of the corner of his eyes.
"Hattori Hanzo, Tenou Anu, you have been asked to report to the Hokage's office right away." A messenger replied.
"We will be there in a second," Hattori replied respectfully, "Tatsuo we will have to finish this one later."
"Yeah sure, just remember, you luck out of this one," Tatsuo yelled out to catch Hattori's attention, "Tomoe, lets go find something to eat, my treat this time."
"Yes, sensei, can I have some um…candy."
"Nope, it is not good for you."
"Yeah, right, maybe I should go tell the Hokage about your little duel, I am sure he will be happy to hear about how you tried to set up problems with the Daimyo, or I can tell him about that one time."
"Yeah, whatever, lets go, you know, you can be very annoying."
"Yeah, that is true, but I am still was best of your gennin team."
The two of them slowly made there was in the direction of the large candy store in the north section of town. As the two walked, noticed a familiar face. Then they suddenly noticed the great gate to the village open. As the village gate opened, Tatsuo wondered who could be coming in from a mission now, it was possible it could be anyone. Yet, Tatsuo had a bad feeling about this. As he got sight of the two shin obi, he remembered that they were both extremely tired. One of them catch sight of him, and moved right towards him.
"Tatsuo, your in town,," the shinobi said with a somewhat relieved look on his face.
"Yeah, what can I do for you?"
"The town of Suka is under attack by Iwa shinobi, if we don't get help, they are doomed."
"Fine," Tatsuo replied his face changing to one that showed focus, "I will go and help, you go and report this to the Hokage."
"Yes, sir."
"Tomoe where leaving, I will get your sweets when we get back got it."
"Yeah, sure, I guess that will work," Tomoe replied understanding the situation perfectly, but wishing she could still get the candy.
"Like the two of you will be enough against a huge amount of Iwa's best," A voice said moving closer to them, "I guess I will have to go and make sure you both come back alive, now won't I?"
"Itou, figures, you would be around," Tatsuo replied, "Well, fine, lets get moving."
The three moved quickly across the land, they each knew that Suka was at the corner of the kingdom, and they would have to travel fast and light if they wanted to have any chance at all of getting to the village before the battle actually began. They were the only hope that that village had, it would take time for the Hokage to organize a relief group, and Taki was not likely to be send to for aid.
Tatsuo took a hard step on one of the tree limbs, it was this hate, and distrust that caused all of the death in the first place, and allowed for bandits to raid in some places freely. The lines that divided great nation from great nation were so absolute, and solid. That was why though he also had a job, if there were no rival kingdoms, there more then likely would be no shinobi at all.
Tatsuo stopped as he caught wind of a large number of sounds coming at them, it was either the Iwa forces or the more likely choice, it was the remaining villagers running for their lives. Tatsuo tried to put this thought out of his mind.
"Spread out team, ambush formation," Tatsuo yelled out, each of his teammates finding there correct spots quickly.
As the noise came louder and louder, Tatsuo noticed the first of the group, they were not villagers, but Iwa shinobi. As unlikely that it seemed, the Iwa had been driven from the town. Tatsuo gave out a serious of hand signs to his teammates in there hiding spots. As the group moved through, Tatsuo wondered what Itou was waiting on.
"Earth release, moving earth cell jutsu," Itou called out.
As she called it out, a huge cage came out of the ground catching a large number of Iwa shinobi inside, before moving slowly towards Suka. The remaining Iwa shinobi fled spreading out in all directions in face of this jutsu, already had been panic in the first place.
Inside of the village, Genji watched the Taki three talk with the civilian leader of the village about something or other. He was impressed by the performance of the three, especially the amazing genjutsu that Yurika had frozen the shinobi with. It was the perfect choice of jutsu, and then the skill of the Takikage meet what he had heard about as well. Genji sat watching and wondered if he should spend some more time in Taki to figure out if this was the right place for him or not.
"Young man," The village leader called out to him, "I wish to thank you for all of you help if it had bot been for you, I would be alive today."
"Think nothing of it, it was the right thing to do, that is all," Genji replied to the village elder.
"Lord Takikage," Matsukaze announce walking into the building, "There is a report of a number of leaf shinobi coming to town."
"Ok, good, sounds like the leaf reinforcements have arrived.," turning his attention to a letter that was handed to him just a bit earlier.
Genji watched in amazement as the Takikage's face changed from one of happiness to one of pure anger and one in deep thought.
"You two, we have to go back, now," Amon said to his fellow Taki shinobi.
"What is up, Lord Takikage?"
"Iwa, and Kusa have started to mobilize their forces for war, and from this report," Amon said holding up the paper, "So are every other village in the world, big or small. It seems like we may be just about to start the 4th Grand shinobi war. "
"Lord, we must hurry, but we need to explain our plans to the Konoha shinobi as well, that way we may work together in this fight."
"Correct, Yurika, that is why you and Minoji are remaining here, just to explain the plan, I figure we can use this village as the link point for our two forces," Amon replied before turning his attention to Genji, "I ask you to please protect this village, and help them out the best you can, it will be a challenge, and if you are not up for it, I can understand."
"No, Lord Takikage, I will protect this village, and these people," Genji replied figuring this village would be a great place to test his own skills in the future.
"Well, lets hope this crisis is over before any war really begins, good luck," Amon said leaving the room, to head back to Taki to prepare that village for war.
A/N- It is a bit of a set up chapter, and the end of one part of the story, the next chapters for a while will be about the 4th grand shinobi war. I will of course still take OC from all villages, the main ones in the action in the next couple of chapter will be Iwa, Kusa, Konoha, Taki, and a couple of more, I also have to room for like 5 countries/villages. Also if you liked, want to help or put in a new OC please leave the info in the review. Thanks
