AN-yay! much love to my reviewers, SOOOOOO sry I haven't been on in a while, work has been crazy!!!
CH.7 First Strike
Konoha's elite stood surrounding the gates as the small band of fire ninja approached. Jiriaya and Tsunade sttod in the background with Haro as the fire ninja launched the initial attack.
Shikamaru, Neji, and Naruto stood on the front lines. "Protect all the gates, don't let them break through!" Naruto yelled.
Shikamaru took a squad to the south, while Neji moved his forces to the North.
Just as Shikamaru had thought, the first attack came as a huge firewall. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted his blonde comrade.
Mere moments too late, "Shika!" Ino cried out as he jumped in front of her, protecting her from the raining fire. Naruto dashed over to his aid, "Can you treat him?"
"Yes, but I need to get him to the hospital."
"Ino, that's too troublesome, I need to be here to fight. I cna fight, it's simple really..."
Another wave of fire came crashing around the trio and Ino cried out.
Jiriaya turned his head, he could no longer watch as Naruto took the brunt of the fire's attack. His eyes came open to the sound of a horrific scream very close to him.
Konoha anbu had snuck past the back line an moved to attack the fire Hakoge himself. Tsunade had Jumped in front of him to protect their cover, the anbu sword had pierced her shoulder.
In his rage, Jiriaya threw the young anbu's body against a tree, shattering his spine. "Tsunade!!!!" He called out.
Neji glanced up to see Jiriaya's smokey white hair and the body of the anbu contort into and unfamiliar position. "Traitor!" he yelled pointing up at Jiriaya.
Jiriaya looked at Naruto, all he found was rage in the young man's eyes.
Jiriaya applied pressure to Tsuande's shoulder, "I'm here, are you okay?"
Tsunade exhaled heavily, "I've lost too much of my chakra, I can't heal myself Jiriaya..."
Jiriaya looked at a frozen in place Haro, "Do something!" he demanded.
Haro sounded the retreat and the fire ninja vanished.
Tsunade woke in the fire village hospital. She turned to the window to find the silhouette of Jiriaya in the sunlight. "Jiriaya?" she asked.
He turned to her quickly, "Your'e awake!"
A single tear began to swell in her eye, "What are we going to do?"
He took her hand and held it against his chest, they shared a silent moment together. Then a knock came upon the door.
"You will inform the Hokage when she is fully recovered, he want to launch a second attack immediately."
Jiriaya nodded, "I understand."
