GUARD
hey break it up you two before I break it up myself
once the guard came in to break the two up it drastically changed and Kakashi and Iruka fought the guards instead after the guards were out cold
IRUKA
still got it
KAKASHI
does this feel like deja vu to you
IRUKA
minus freeing the others yea
well the others were quickly freed and they got outside to see 1100 Rock and Lightening ninjas
KAKASHI
so 50/50 and the last 100 together like last time
IRUKA
(sees something) nah I'd say we split it between Sand and Leaf with Leaf against Lightening and Sand against Rock
the rest see the help Sand sent and knew better than to get between them and the rock with sand
GAARA
Lightening shinobi are the Leafs we get Rock unless you absolutely must fight Lightening
two hrs later the battle was over
SAKURA
and stay out
TSUNADE
I thought your hands were tied Kazekage
GAARA
I came personally to form an alliance
TSUNADE
with half your force with you
GAARA
I'm not finished I came to form an alliance with the civilians should I come here to find you dead and leave some of my men here if you being dead was the case
TSUNADE
fortunately that wasn't the case
she saw Iruka trying to leave with Kakashi following him
TSUNADE
and where do you think you two are going you have some explaining to do especially you Umino
KAKASHI
um to check on the students
IRUKA
hes' right the battle was intense
TSUNADE
good try but I know better but I do have to talk to Kazekage Gaara so I'll see you two in my office in an hr don't be late am I clear
IRUAK/KAKASH
yes Lady Tsunade
well they go to there favorite meeting spot where they often trained and sometimes just talked
KAKASLH
(sighs) I thought you were dead
IRUKA
I know sorry for hurting you like that if I had known I would've at least told you so that you could transition easier and with me actually we could've helped each other instead of what we did do
KAKASHI
so Omega 5
IRUKA
no delta 12
KAKASHI
oh you want it rough do ya fine by me I've missed that couldn't do it without my best sparing partner
IRUKA
my reflexes are sharp thanks to the kids but that's it
KAKASHI
everyone else that boring
IRUKA
no that delicate I couldn't go all out so my muscles are weaker than they should be in peak condition
KAKASHI
than lets go
IRUKA
boundaries
KAKASHI
from here to the Hokage tower village not included
IRUKA
minus that anything goes
KAKASHI
yea and first one to call time has to do 500 push up over hot candles
IRUKA
are you turning into Gai
KAKASHI
no just tired of the old punishments
IRUKA
you have a point it was getting dull
well they were fighting close to the mountain when and ANBU interrupted them
ANBU
you're late both of you
KAKASHI
already been an hr huh
IRUKA
we're finishing after the meeting
KAKASHI
agreed
well they get to her office to see the entire ANBU corp
IRUKA
why is the entire ANBU corp here Lady Tsunade I thought you were the only one who needed an explanation
TSUNADE
normally I would however "Dolphin" I felt the others need an explanation as well
there was muttering among those who remembered him
TUSNADE
and than you and Kakashi are telling me how you escaped 500 Iwa and Rock nin after being there captive for 5 months
ANBU
The Impossible escape I didn't think I'd ever hear the story from those who lived it ever again as 1 was dead and the other semi retired
and so Iruka explained how he had survived and became a Chunnin an academy teacher per the third Hokage's suggestion (more like order)
IRUKA
now for the story where Wolf and I escaped 500 Rock and Iwa nin this was 7 moths after the Yondaime died sealing the fox though it never showed anyways Wolf and I were on a routine mission that called for surveillance when suddenly we were surrounded Wolf became useless 15 minutes of battle
KAKASHI
that wasn't my fault
IRUKA
oh really who decided to use the Sharingan for half an hr before battle and then during battle anyways Wolf was down and I was alone needless to say I was beaten pretty easily and passed out soon after we got to their base...Wolf
KAKASHI
well about an hr after we were brought to there base I woke up to find Dolphin out cold so I did what most people in my situation would do I analyzed the situation and then tried to get Dolphin up
several years ago
WOLF
Dolphin wake up...Dolphin wake up...Dolphin!
DOLPHIN
ugh Wolf would you stop screaming already it's annoying OK
WOLF
you idiot I was seeing if I could get you awake how do you feel
DOLPHIN
terrible so got any ideas as to whats going on
WOLF
forget it Dolphin I have no more an idea than you do and that's final
they sigh
DOLPHIN
OK so got any bright ideas as to how we're escaping since that seems like the most prudent idea right about now
unfortunately Wolf didn't have any sort of idea
WOLF
no what about you
DOLPHIN
would I be asking you if I had any idea
suddenly there capture decided to come and take Wolf away for questioning a few hours later it was Dolphins turn after both had been tortured
WOLF
did you spill any secrets
DOLPHIN
no did you
WOLF
of course not (sighs) but that doesn't mean they won't reach our breaking points
DOLPHIN
I know hey how about a pact if you don't break I won't break and we'll keep each other strong so that it never happens
WOLF
works for me
and so over the next five months that's what they do until finally they got fed up with it
WOLF
so are we agreed Dolphin
DOLPHIN
I would say so what's the key word
WOLF
what key word idiot
DOLPHIN
idiot why I oughta
they start to fight making the guards watching them come in and that's when they turned on the enemy and knocked out the guards taking the keys and freeing themselves
WOLF
for the record you aren't an idiot
DOLPHIN
neither are you but I never would've thought of using an argument as a means to escape
WOLF
well let's go we have a lot of ground to cover and not much time by now we're probably dead but it's worth a try
DOLPHIN
agreed on the count of three one...two...
TOGETHER
THREE
they escape only to find more opposition
DOLPHIN
how about this I take the two hundred on the right you take the two hundred on the left and we split the last 100 between us
WOLF
works for me
well it was a fierce fight and Wolf started to suffer from Chakra exhaustion so Dolphin took over unfortunately he was poisoned but he won the battle
DOLPHIN
hang on Wolf just hang on
Dolphin ran for all his worth to get to Konoha in time to save Wolf's life and just as he was about to give up he sees the gates to his village giving him all the strength he needed to get to the village at said gates 15 minutes later (what he had poison running through his body give him a break)
GUARD
halt and identify yourself
DOLPHIN
Dolphin...and Wolf...reporting in
GUARD
impossible you two are dead give me the codes and I might let you in
DOLPHIN
alpha 5...delta 1...zulu136...Yondaime...the forever...hero
GUARD
you pass Dolphin what or who are you carrying
DOLPHIN
Wolf...Chakra exhaustion...needs help
with that Dolphin passes out too weak do go any further the signal was sent out that signified highest medical emergency once at the hospital it was discovered that Dolphin had been poisoned and had run in that condition 3 weeks later
NURSE
both of you are lucky to be alive
WOLF
I know when can I see him
NURSE
once you can get up and walk without falling after two seconds
WOLF
fine
a few days later Wolf got to see Dolphin for the first time in several weeks
WOLF
Dolphin you idiot why did you run with poison coursing through your body
the third entered the room as he had said that
THIRD HOKAGE
because of the fact that he cared more about you than his own health
WOLF
he almost died saving me
THIRD HOKAGE
true but he'll live
WOLF
at least he is alive this way I can hopefully pay him back some day
Dolphin woke up for the first time since arriving at the village
DOLPHIN
not...likely Wolf
WOLF
(relieved) Dolphin you're awake
THIRD
I'll leave you two be to talk
and that's exactly what they do a few days later they are released and a few months later came the disastrous mission that "killed" Dolphin and the rest of his squad present
IRUKA
and that's the mission where we escaped 500 Rock and Iwa nin we didn't know that a few months later I would be considered dead
WOLF
now if you'll excuse us Dolphin and I have some unfinished business to attend to
ANBU
what could be more important than relaxing
WOLF/DOLPHIN
training
those that knew what training for those two entailed were shocked to say the least after all no one had seen them train since shortly before Dolphin had been declared dead
IBIKI
well could you not almost kill each other this time
WOLF
now Ibiki what would be the fun in that
TSUNADE
now Kakashi I need my academy instructor in one piece for tomorrow
DOLPHIN
um about that
IBIKI
oh no you two did not do what I think you did
WOLF
um if you're thinking we did Delta 12 than yes we did
IBIKI
I was afraid of that Wolf Dolphin hasn't had that kind of training in years the only reason his reflexes are still sharp is because of the students
ANBU
at least they didn't do Alpha 72
IBIKI
don't give them any ideas
DOLPHIN
too late Ibiki
WOLF
but we'll save that for a later date when Dolphin is stronger
TSUNADE
OK enough of that just don't kill each other am I clear
WOLF/DOLPHIN
yes ma'am
well they finished Delta 12 and Iruka then went home and took a nice long shower and went to bed the next day the students were wondering where Iruka was seeing as how he was late (which was a rare thing) fortunately the Hokage had expected something like that so she made sure that the students were supervised until Iruka arrived at the school
STUDENT
Iruka-sensei where were you yesterday during battle when you told Konohamaru to watch over us
IRUKA
well I was doing my duty as a Konoha shinobi and fought the enemy though I did get myself captured along with several others and some allies from Sand because Lightening had reinforcements from Rock
STUDENT
why was Lightening here
IRUKA
lets just say they weren't too pleased with one of our own and decided to get back at him through us but the plan back fired thanks to our allies and the fact that some of our own were pretty creative in thinking of a way to escape
STUDENT
will they be coming back
IRUKA
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that so we must all be ready should they try that again so get some kunai and meet me out in the field we're doing kunai practice and then shuriken practice
STUDENT
what about ninjutsu and taijutsu
IRUKA
we'll work on those after lunch OK
well things were going well until they got an unexpected visitor of course they couldn't stare in awe of said visitor because he was hurt badly in the class shortly before they went out again
STUDENT
Iruka-sensei someone is passed out in the lawn
IRUKA
what
Iruka looks outside to see an ANBU passed out on the lawn
STUDENT
they look hurt
IRUKA
class stay here
he quickly runs outside to the ANBU's side
IRUKA
ANBU-san can you hear me
he got no answer so Iruka checked for a pulse and was relieved to find one however now his senses were on full alert because ANBU do not just pass out in the practice grounds of the academy every day like they were used to it no for an ANBU to be passed out at the academy meant trouble
IRUKA
class I need someone to get a messenger bird out of the cage and write ANBU down at the academy and make sure it reaches the Hokage
STUDENT
um can't someone just go there and tell her themselves
IRUKA
no time she needs to know and she needs to know now
the students do as they are told quickly and you could tell it was from a child because of how terrible the handwriting was (so it was rumored that Kakashi couldn't write but they only saw his writing on mission reports not something like this) it reaches the Hokage within minutes
SHIZUNE
Lady Hokage message from the academy
TSUNADE
what give it to me
she quickly reads the message and starts moving
TSUNADE
Shizune get a medical team to the academy immediately
SHIZUNE
what for Lady Tsunade
TSUNADE
not now just do it
SHIZUNE
yes ma'am
Tsunade reaches the academy quickly and sees exactly where they are
IRUKA
Lady Tsunade I'm glad you got the message
TSUNADE
how is he
IRUKA
(sighs) besides the obvious injuries I've done a simple scan and his Chakra is off somehow and other injuries I can't identify
TSUNADE
well you did what you could now stand back and let me take over
the medical team arrives soon after and after two hours of working on the ANBU she was confident enough they were stable enough to survive the trip to the hospital and once they were gone Iruka knew he couldn't handle class anymore so he dismissed them early
IRUKA
class you're dismissed
they leave quickly because he sounded exhausted plus doing other stuff that screamed bad mood do not mess with him soon after Iruka left to go to the hospital
IRUKA
Sakura any news
SAKURA
no no one is allowed in there except Lady Tsunade and the medical team sensei the ANBU looked really bad do you know what caused their injuries
IRUKA
no I don't if I ever find out they're going to pay
it took another six excruciating hours but they managed to heal the ANBU officer though they would be out of commission for a while healing from there injuries but at least they were alive to heal from said injuries
IRUKA
Lady Tsunade how is he
TSUNADE
he's lucky he fell where people saw him otherwise he'd be dead by now
everyone there gave out a sigh of relief including the ANBU who were the best at not showing their emotions (well having a mask helped but their body language also betrayed no emotions) well a few days later the officer woke up with ANBU and Iruka in the room along with Lady Tsunade who was checking on him
ANBU
who...are...you
TSUNADE
Lady Tsunade the fifth Hokage
ANBU
the...fifth where's the third
TSUNADE
he's been dead for quite a few years now
ANBU
since...you're...the...Hokage...I have...something to...tell you
TSUNADE
what is it
ANBU
alpha omega 5 Zulu 79 fell swoop 278
Iruka's face shows shock at those words because he is the only one to recognize the code since they were used for one purpose and one purpose only and it involved a threat thought long destroyed however only one person was still alive that knew that code since only the Hokage and a select number of ANBU knew of that code and all of them but Iruka had died on missions, old age, or in the third Hokage's case protecting the village from invasion and the one person not in the village who was to spy on the threat had died years ago after having been caught or at least that's what Iruka thought
IRUKA
are you serious!?, how do you know that code anyways everyone who knows that code is dead except me and the one person who wasn't in the village constantly died on his spying mission years ago after having been caught
ANBU
well I'm not dead and I was almost caught there's a big difference however I did have to be more careful which is why regular updates stopped coming and what's a Chunnin know about my mission anyways
IRUKA
you don't know who...right I forgot about that I spoke out of turn well kind of Beta 12 delta 5 fallen dove confirmed 2354
ANBU
well you are one of the ones who knew all right but who are you
IRUKA
Iruka Umino academy teacher however you knew me as Dolphin
ANBU
Dolphin what are you doing as an academy teacher why did you step down from Jounin
IRUKA
long story that I'll tell you later now are you sure about what you just said
ANBU
I wouldn't of said the code unless I was serious Dolphin
IRUKA
great and just after an invasion from Rock and Lightening too (sighs) do you at least know how long until they get here
ANBU
no I came as soon as I found out they've been planning this for years I can tell you that much they just put the final details on it a few weeks ago and that is when I left my post to warn the village
IRUKA
just perfect lots of weapons
ANBU
and troops like I said they've been planning this for years
IRUKA
main roads or back roads
ANBU
not sure they would only state which roads to those in command of troops and since they still don't exactly trust me I didn't get one
IRUKA
it's OK you did good getting the information you had to us now take it easy we got it from here you just concentrate on healing
with that the officer fell back asleep and Iruka left the room with a look of determination on his face Tsunade had to almost run to catch up with him
TSUNADE
Iruka what's going on what was all of that about in the hospital
IRUKA
Lady Tsunade you need to prepare for war that's what I'm doing I'm going to my house and taking inventory of my weapons both my regular ones and more...specialized ones as well and tell ANBU to be on high alert
TSUNADE
Iruka that doesn't answer my question now what is going on
IRUKA
another full scale invasion by Iwa this mission was assigned shortly before my disastrous mission to the mist I thought it was odd they were laying low after all they must have a major grudge against us because of the fourth
TSUNADE
how come you knew the code and I and the others didn't because some of them were around when you were
IRUKA
easy on the day of the mission the third called a select number of ANBU to his office and explained the situation the one that was to spy on them was there with a traveling pack and in Iwa cloths I...sort of attacked him because I didn't recognize him anyways once the mission was told to us we understood the gravity of the situation and the fact that no one must know the codes so we all made a vow to kill ourselves before they got that information from us should we be captured the Hokage knew of a possible invasion so he made the vow along with us well a month before the mission all of us were called into the thirds office again and we were told of our spies death we weren't happy needless to say but we reaffirmed our oath to die before giving the codes because that would mean certain destruction for our village and then as you know I had that mission to mist and over the years the third quietly told me of the others who died until I found out that we were the only two left and then Orochimaru had to invade and kill the third who used a forbidden jutsu to stop Orochimaru
TSUNADE
you've sacrificed a lot for the village haven't you
IRUKA
yes Lady Tsunade I have now if you'll excuse me I have some inventory to take and prepare myself for battle since it can happen at any moment the students at the academy are also preparing but they are in no way ready for a real battle so they'll have to trust me and do as I say though if they manage to buy me time in said battle I'll be proud of them but I am definitely giving them orders to leave the battle as quickly as possible and get to a safe location
TSUNADE
well I'd better prepare the others as well be careful Iruka
IRUKA
I will
and with that Tsunade warned the other Chunnin and Jounin so that they would be ready once the time came for battle and Iruka took care of getting the kids ready after a few weeks most of the shinobi got tired of being on constant stand by and said that Tsunade was paranoid however the ANBU were constantly observing there surroundings even if they were off duty because she told them in private that it was Iruka that had gotten the high alert status started by that time the injured officer had recovered and knew the full story about how Dolphin became a Chunnin and academy teacher and took it upon himself to personally guard the academy just in case of an attack and then just as most of the shinobi minus the ANBU and Iruka let down there guard the enemy attacked full force
STUDENT
Iruka-sensei there's a strange man coming at us really quickly
IRUKA
what...
Iruka was hit and hit hard and that's when he saw the enemy ninja
IRUKA
you shouldn't have attacked this facility
NINJA
we've already won so give up
IRUKA
not happening, kids you know what to do
the kids threw the weapons they had on their person and then ran just like Iruka told them to and just as the ANBU officer joined in too
ANBU
so any bright ideas
IRUKA
well we could do pattern 12
ANBU
yea but what's the fun in that
IRUKA
there's no fun but it'll get the job done quickly which is what is needed right now
ANBU
pattern 12 it is than
unfortunately that doesn't work out like they planned and the enemy ninja got the better of them
NINJA
this is pathetic and I thought the ANBU were supposed to be the elite
Kakashi shows up just than
KAKASHI
they are the elite ninja in the village that's true but that's why they have squads to back each other up not to mention other Jounin now give up before I cut your throat
well the enemy shinobi had a backup plan and knocked Kakashi out and took him and the others at the academy prisoner
KAKASHI
hey Iruka is it just me or is this deja vu again
IRUKA
it's deja vu again man and we were finally recovering from the Lightening/Rock invasion too
KAKASHI
well can't do anything but conserve our strength
and with that he falls asleep much to the chagrin of the ANBU that were with them but Iruka knew what was going on and decided to tell them
IRUKA
so that's the plan huh guys he's faking being asleep in a bit we'll fake him being sick and when they come in to check on him he'll knock out the one closest to him and we knock out the others
ANBU 1
you know that's actually a good idea
ANBU 2
lets hope they don't have the Hokage
just then they heard Tsunade's voice she had been captured
TSUNADE
too late for that fox I was one of the first ones they captured
SAKURA
is it just me or does everyone have it in for us right now
SASUKE
from what I gathered before I myself was caught is that they've been planning this for years
ANBU
yes they have you see they have a grudge against the fourth but since he's dead they're going to take it out on the village
NARUTO
we still have a chance guys
ANBU
how everyone is either a prisoner or dead
NARUTO
not everyone there are some that are out on missions right now and where they're located they'll find out before they get back keeping them away from the village long enough to plan some way of freeing it and I know for a fact that Konohamaru is out on a mission with his squad he told me the day he left that he would be gone for a while he'll probably go to sand once he finds out
meanwhile Konohamaru had found out and he did indeed go to sand with the rest of his squad (there sensei was injured thus knocked out by the medic of the team; now a days they had three gennin a Jounin and if there was a possibility of injuries on the mission a Chunnin medic) in sand
GUARD
halt who goes there
KONOHAMARU
squad 12 from Konoha
GUARD
state your purpose
KONOHAMARU
to talk to the Kazekage in the hopes of gaining assistance to free our village
GUARD
what are you talking about we've received no word that Konoha is in trouble
CHUNNIN
you wouldn't those allied with Konoha have been kept in the dark
GUARD
very well but you will be escorted and scouts will be sent ahead if you have lied to us you will regret it
well they explain the situation to Gaara and a few days later a scout returned with his report
SCOUT
Kazekage-sama the leaf shinobi speak the truth there village has been taken over by Iwa
GAARA
I see, get all available men and meet us at the gate in an hr we're going to Konoha
three days later sand arrived and saw the destruction Iwa did
SAND
OK so how do we get into the village there are guards everywhere
KONOHAMARU
Ibiki has a tunnel we could use that
TEMARI
no good the enemy may not know it's location but there are patrols in that area we'd be spotted before we even got to the entrance
just than some villagers showed up having escaped the destruction and they had been planning on an attack for a while now and the villagers that showed up were essentially scouts to tell the others if it was safe to proceed they weren't expecting sand shinobi to show up
VILLAGER
hey are you from sand
TEMARI
yes who are you
VILLAGER
a villager from Konoha we were seeing if it was a good time to try and liberate the village we're scouts
GAARA
take us to your camps we're helping out
well with the sand shinobi at there disposal they quickly come up with a better plan than the original one and they execute it at dusk in ANBU HQ
IBIKI
anyone else hear something
IRUKA
yes but I can't identify what it is
suddenly Temari and her group come into view
TEMARI
you know we've really got to stop meeting in cells Lady Hokage it's undignified
TSUNADE
take it up with the villages that invade us
TEMARI
I just might actually well come on time for you to join in the fight
well the battle lasts a bit longer than the last time but they eventually beat the Iwa unfortunately they suffered a huge loss both Iruka and Naruto were declared dead with no bodies seeing as how they had chased the Iwa to the place where they almost lost Sasuke to Orochimaru (in my story Sasuke had the curse mark but was taken captive by the sound ninja Naruto and Sasuke never fought each other) so there was no chance at recovering bodies since they probably were swept away by the falls. 3 years later the village was still recovering from it's loss as many others had also died but the students that had yet to graduate when Iruka died had suffered the most during that time all of them graduated and while many were supposed to be sent back to the academy for more training it had been decided by Tsunade herself that all of them were to become shinobi some of them were mainly learning things about what a shinobi's life was like some were learning medicine and the rest were actually learning but they were all gennin and later that year some managed to become Chunnin while the rest were failed but they knew that they would get another chance in half a year and once that half year passed those that didn't pass the first time passed the second and had become Chunnin the entire village knew it was because of the fact that they had lost their teacher before they were truly ready to graduate that they all became Chunnin and assigned to many squads and in that time most of the villagers finally accepted Naruto for who he really was not a demon but a human and one of the best shinobi the village had ever seen and at the academy many changes had happened because of the invasion one of which was that students carried kunai at all time if they were old enough and another was that the pre-gennin were all trained in battle scenarios and had orders from day one plus they practiced with their weapons every day
