Chapter 8: Unleashing Hell
Gaara and Kankurou rushed over to their beaten sister, both hoping that she was ok. "Temari, what the hell happened?" Gaara asked while Kankurou gathered her up into his eyes. Soon TenTen was by her side as well.
"It was him." She said pointing to Orochimaru. "He, along with that Kabuto guy and Sasuke, they did this to me because they didn't want me to report to Tsunade…Sama." She said just as her vision blurred and the darkness took her off to unconsciousness.
All eyes turned to Orochimaru who took this time to laugh. He laughed whole heartedly at the scrutiny. "Well I guess the cat's outta the bag now." (Wow, how cliché was that?) He said as Sasuke and Kabuto both teleported to next to Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru what the hell is going on here?!" Tsunade asked.
"Oh don't act so surprised Tsunade. I know you knew all along about my plan but for whatever reason you chose to ignore it." As he finished saying this Sakura walked over to the group of men, and latched onto Sasuke's arm. He frowned slightly before he retained his emotionless mask of arrogance.
"What is going on here?" the students and other teachers began to ask.
"What's about to occur is the domination of this school, and soon the world." Kabuto said smirking.
"Sasuke, I think it's time we plunge this world into darkness. If you would please do the honors." Orochimaru said, a hint of humor in his voice, apparently this was all extremely funny to him.
"I call on the powers of old,
When the days are short and the nights grow cold.
When darkness reign over all,
And the light would always fall.
Return this world to darkness,
Awaken the demons of the past.
I free you from your cell,
Come forth and unleash all HELL!" Sasuke said the spell quite ceremoniously.
'No… that can't be…' Kakashi thought while the rest of the school was left flabbergasted. It was as if the air literally held its breath waiting for what was to come next. Not a moment later a lightning bolt of pure darkness struck the school's roof, exposing it to the sky that was rapidly turning pitch black. The now dark sky ripped open as things, still faceless, unknown flooded through the crack in the sky. Creatures with wings, claws, glowing eyes of all colors all came down to the school.
They wasted no time in attacking the students and teachers. The teachers and most students also wasted no time in fighting back, to repel them.
"Shit! He broke the seal on the dimensions and opened the portal between the demon world and ours!" Shikamaru said.
"This cannot be happening." Aiko said. Just then a particularly large snake demon erected itself in front of Orochimaru and company. They all mounted on its head. All the while, demons continued to pass through the slashed nexus that was once the human's main protection.
"What the hell are we going to do?" Naruto asked. As a demon came his way, he fended it off with a powerful blaze of green. All his friends formed a circle so that they could watch and cover each others backs.
"ALL STUDENTS RETREAT FROM THE SCHOOL, INTO TOWN, INTO THE FOREST, IT DOESN'T MATTER!! JUST RUN!!" Everyone heard Tsunade's voice over all the commotion.
As the demons stormed the school some casualties were bound to happen, the student began to flee the school anyway they could. Some chose to take to the skies, flying as fast as they could some teleported and some simply ran as fast their legs would carry them, all while dodging the assault of the demon army.
Naruto and the others decided to stay and at least try to help and fend of some of the demons, as did Kankurou (who was still holding his sister), Neji, Lee and TenTen. Ino who knew Sakura, more than anyone knew that she was not all too excited about this. "Sakura how could go along with this? You know this is wrong? And you too Sasuke what the fuck is wrong with you two? Why are you guys doing this?" Ino asked yelling over the loud noise of the battle going on.
"Why? Because I want power. I need it. Power is the only thing that matter in this world!" Sasuke explained.
"And what of you, Sakura?" Ino asked again, this time while trying to fight off a random demon.
"….." Sakura was silent not a single word escaping her mouth. Her sea green eyes become a little shallow for a moment but then soon became a lit with life again.
"What are you kids still doing here?!" Iruka said coming up to the circle of still battling friends.
"We can't just leave the school this way." Kiba said.
"Yeah even if we don't win we've gotta fight." Naruto said.
"We must fight now so that we can have a youthful future!" Lee chimed in. (did that make any sense to you guys? Lol)
Kakashi suddenly appeared next to the group as well. "There's nothing we can do now but recoil. At this rate the entire country will be over run with demons. While the other teachers try to hold them back, Iruka and I have been ordered to protect this group of friends specifically. We also have orders to get reinforcements to fight these bastards."
"What about Orochimaru and those guys? We have to stop them before they have complete control over the country, the world even." Chouji said narrowly dodging the attack of yet another demon.
"For now there's nothing left to do." Iruka stated. "Now all of you prepare for massive teleportation." Iruka said as all of them tried to protest but Iruka quickly silenced them all. Iruka waved his hand swiftly and they were all gone in the blink of an eye, including Kakashi.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
They were in a cave of some sort. It looked like it went on forever or at least it would have if they could see anything. "Dammit it's too dark in here!" Naruto stated conjuring a small light that illuminated the darkness of the cave.
"Thanks Naruto." Iruka said smiling slightly. "Well, now that the world is going to hell I guess it's ok to finally tell you guys the truth about Sasuke, Naruto, and Gaara, all of you in fact." He sighed and took to leaning up against the cold wall of the cave. "How should I say this? Hmm…Kakashi how about you start off?"
"Sure thing. Well to make a long story short you are all reincarnations of the heroes from legends long past. Naruto you are the reincarnation of the Great Hero who stopped the Demon King from completely taking rule over the human world. Gaara you are the reincarnation of his lover, his personal protector. Sasuke is the new demon king. And the rest of you are human saviors who fought along side the Great Hero and his Consort." Kakashi explained some of the story.
"So wait a minute are you telling me that history is repeating itself?" Hinata asked taking it all in heap, just barely wrapping her mind around all that had been happening lately. It was all happening so fast.
"Basically yes." Iruka replied while everyone looked surprised. Aiko and Kazuma looked almost un-phased by this fact they inconspicuously made eye contact with their silver haired sensei. (Kakashi)
"So what do we do now I'm mean we can't fight them, they've gained too much power. Not to mention the fact that they control all the demons that are currently flooding the earth?" Ino asked.
"For now we rest, but in the morning we start out on a journey to seal the gate off the demon world once again and ultimately defeat Orochimaru and the rest." Iruka replied. "You all are too weak to fight them now but we will train you as best we can." Iruka finally finished.
"You expect us to sleep in a place like this?" Shikamaru asked bluntly.
"Yeah actually we do." Kakashi said snapping his fingers suddenly lights snapped illuminating a long cave that lead to a door.
"Behind that door you will find rooms, a kitchen and other rooms. Let's all get to bed shall we, it's been a long day." Iruka said.
"What about Temari-san?" TenTen asked turning to look at the girl who was still being held in Kankurou's arms.
"Give her to me." Kakashi said.
"Can you heal her?" Kankurou asked worry clearly written on his face.
"Yeah by tomorrow I can guarantee you she'll be fine." Kakashi replied smiling through the mask. He turned to wink at Iruka before he teleported to one of the rooms behind the mysterious door. No one really noticed the slight blush creep across Iruka's cheeks as he began walking to the door. Everyone followed suite without any further question.
When they opened the door they were amazed to see the place had rooms, enough for all of them. They didn't know what other rooms it had but if they had to guess it would probably have a bathroom, kitchen, or training room. As they filed into random rooms, Shikamaru cast a glance to Kazuma and his sister he had noticed that they were the only ones that seemed un-phased earlier. He decided to ask them about it later.
Gaara walked into their room first. The room was medium sized. It held a bed, dresser, a table, a refrigerator and half a bedroom. Naruto quickly flopped down onto the bed and heaved a great sigh.
Gaara sat at the end of the bed and stretched a bit. "Naruto, you ok?" he asked almost inaudibly.
"Depends on your definition of 'ok'." He stated. "Yesterday I was just a kid who wanted to kick demon ass, and now today I'm supposed to save the whole world. This is some bullshit." He said with a hint of exasperation in his usually annoyingly cute voice. He sat up and kneeled behind Gaara. He embraced him. Gaara placed his hand on Naruto's as he leaned on Gaara for support.
"We'll get through this Naruto, apparently we did it before, and we can do it again." Gaara said in a fleeting voice.
End of Chapter
