Chapter 10: Finals
The month passed quickly. During such time, everyone crunched in as much training as possible. Naruto also happened to have disappeared for the month time with Jiraiya. They went to the land of the foxes and Naruto trained his sage mode there and at mount Myoboku. The kid was a sage of two different summoning clans. He had three types of summons under his control. Foxes, Toads and Eagles, thanks to his mother. Naruto was also in search of the ultimate summoning; the Dragon.
The boy during his free-time from Senjutsu training, he trained his Sutoumu-me to the point that Jiraiya worried about the kid's eyesight. Naruto had also mastered the rasengan, but for other variants that the kid wished to make, required both Senjutsu chakra, which Naruto constantly called upon, and the Sutoumu-m to form. Naruto in this time created three new variants of the rasengan; the official Oodama rasengan, the incomplete Fuuton: Rasenshuriken and the kids growing favorite; the incomplete Fuuton: Rasenbakudan or in other words, the spiraling bomb. He had to settle for wind release since he didn't have storm release like he planned to use it for.
Naruto also grew taller by an inch or two and changed his outfit completely. He now had on a short-sleeved, maroon and collar-less haori with red triangles at the bottom of the cloak. Naruto wore a black and dark orange jacket underneath. The right half of the jacket was black and the left half was orange. His pants were black baggy shinobi pants and he wore black shinobi sandals. His hitai-ate was also changed and had the same plate that Jiraiya had. The strap, of course, was orange. On his back were three scrolls. Two were small while the central scroll was huge. The scroll on top read Washi. The central read Gama, and the bottom read kitsune.
Naruto's hair grew out and he had a small Jiraiya ponytail growing. His bangs were definitely longer much like his fathers, and his face was leaner like how his father's was when he was Naruto's age. Naruto also added specialized kunai holsters for his three-pronged kunai since they were too big for the standard issue kunai holsters. Naruto's physical strength also increased exponentially. His muscles were bigger and more defined than before.
He looked to his side to see Yoko, Seiko and Fujika playing with each other. Naruto and the three kitsune also worked together much like how Kiba and Akamaru do, minus their clan specific jutsu. Naruto instead does a lot of Konbijutsu with them. With his companions with him, they were like a full team fighting together. Another amazing thing was that the foxes could freely change from their human form and into their fox form. When they entered their human form, they were dressed in samurai armor and had katana's strapped to their sides.
Yoko could do earth and water jutsu without hand seals and was quick to draw her sword for a quick parry or defense if need be. Seiko was a stamina freak and chakra maniac and was able to keep fighting for quite some time with wind, lightning and fire jutsu. Seiko wasn't called the soldier for nothing. She not only had two swords but she had five more for each tail. Because she has five, each tail can weave each element to her advantage. And finally Fujika. She could not only use lightning techniques for quick take-downs and backstabs, but she could make herself turn invisible to the naked eye. Perfect assassin.
The only problem though, was that Naruto couldn't use them for the finals, so they were going to have to sit back and watch the match with their chosen protectorates, at least until they have to go and fight in the arena. The three kits yipped and jumped around trying to wrestle while in their fox forms and enjoyed the fun until Naruto checked his watch.
"Oh fuck! I'm gunna be late!" Naruto grabbed all three foxes and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
In the arena…
"If Uzumaki-Nami-" Genma was interrupted by a massive blast of smoke and wind. The other twelve genin looked to see Naruto on top of an eagle with three foxes surrounding him. The haori clad boy immediately shook himself from the heroic scene and slipped off the eagle and face-planted with the ground. Haku, Ino and Kurotsuchi face-palmed and shook their heads, while everyone else laughed at the redhead. He stood back up and patted himself down.
"Am I late?" Naruto asked breathing hard.
"No." Genma simply replied. "Now then. May everyone but Akimichi Chouji and Yagura leave to the competitor's box?"
"Now then. Killing is allowed, but it would be in your best interest to not kill each other, kay?" Genma added with a little laugh at the end. He took out his senbon and held it in his hand. He looked at the two and smirked. "Hajime!"
Immediately, Yagura reached behind and grabbed his hooked pole-arm and swung around. Chouji evaded the attack, as the pole smashed into the ground, kicking up dirt and rocks. Chouji sent a flurry of shuriken and kunai, but Yagura blocked all of them. The silver-haired genin jumped up and spun before slamming the pole-arm down on top of Chouji. Chouji didn't realize it but the pole had water building up at the tip.
"Baika no jutsu!" But Chouji was instantly deflated, when the pole-arm bonked his head. With Chouji out of it, Yagura relented his assault and looked up to the Kage box.
"Damn. Winner, Yagura!" Genma shouted out. Cheers were heard and people were clapping loudly for the Kiri boy. "Next round, Yamanaka Ino and Kurotsuchi! Come down!"
"Let's go then." Ino smiled. "Just so you know, I learned a lot in my clan's techniques."
"I learned even more for Lava release." Kurotsuchi replied as she got onto the railings with Ino.
The two girls hopped off with their hair and clothing flying about. They landed softly and smirked cockily at each other as they stood ten paces from each other. Genma raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off. He put his senbon back in his mouth and raised his hand. Without another word, he shot his hand down and the two girls charged forth.
They started off with an order of taijutsu. Kuro sent a punch for Ino, but the blonde ducked and sent a punch for Kuro's gut. Kurotsuchi evaded and sent an elbow to the back of Ino's head. The attack connected and the blonde girl fell forward, but she burst into smoke. Kurotsuchi turned around and saw Ino speeding through hand seals.
"Ranton: Reizā Sākasu!" A blast of heat and light, kept Kurotsuchi on her toes. Lasers shot at her, tearing through the ground and whatever else happened to be up at the moment. Kurotsuchi sped through hand seals and started throwing up lava.
"Youton: Yougan kabe no jutsu!" The lava built up and formed a large wall. The lasers broke through, that much was expected but Ino was too busy trying to tear through the solidified lava that she didn't realize what Kurotsuchi was doing. Suddenly, Ino started sinking into the ground. She felt heat below her feet and broke her concentration with the jutsu.
"Youton: Yougan numa no jutsu!" The ground started turning into lava beneath Ino. Her eyes widened, but she quickly calmed herself down and went through another set of hand seals.
"Ninpou: Konton no jutsu!" Kurotsuchi was about to jump down with a kunai, but the jutsu met it's mark and Kurotsuchi went limp, breaking her control over the jutsu. The rising lava stopped and solidified. Ino pulled herself out of the dried and solid swamp. She walked up to Kurotsuchi and held a kunai at her throat. "It's over Kuro-chan…"
Ino inwardly knew that the fight was too straight forward. The Kurotsuchi below her started turning into stone. Immediately, the blonde took evasive action and barrel rolled forward to dodge a barrage of solidifying lava balls. Kurotsuchi was spitting them out like nothing.
"Youton: Yougandan no jutsu!" Kurotsuchi sat on a boulder protruding from the ground and shot out massive amounts of bullets made from lava. Ino jumped and weaved in between each attack. The terrifying thing about the attack was that when the bullets hit the ground while still in liquid form, they exploded outwards and sent smaller lava balls flying.
'I need to loosen her up.' Ino back flipped and dodged a large lava ball and stood atop the built up dry lava. She sped through had seals faster than Kurotsuchi did. Ino smiled and zeroed in on the Iwa genin.
"Ranton: Shuchu gou!" Immediately the sky darkened above the arena. The feudal lords in the stands were amazed that the power of such beautiful kunoichi. Once the sky reached a peak, lightning boomed above them. Kurotsuchi expected rain, but nothing came for a short while. She looked at Ino with a weird face when the blonde didn't move for some time. Suddenly a small glowing trail of light shot down from the sky. Kurotsuchi shot her eyes up and quickly erected an earth wall.
She heard burning and sizzling. The blue light suddenly plowed through her wall and burned into the ground. Kurotsuchi looked back at Ino with wide eyes. The sky boomed again, but this time, the lasers started falling. Each laser seemed to have locked onto her. The black haired girl threw up whatever defense she could think of, but it was all futile. Not only were her defenses failing, but she was also wasting her chakra on such constructs. Kurotsuchi front flipped and landed on a large boulder and started shooting out blasts of fire and water to fight back the lasers.
Ino smiled and relented the jutsu. With her sensory abilities, she was able to surmise that Kurotsuchi was at the same level of chakra as she was. Only enough for one last jutsu. The sky lightened up and the lasers stopped coming. Kurotsuchi was gasping and panting. She was low on chakra, but she didn't want to fail her father or grandfather. Nor did she want to fail in front of Naruto. She eyed the arena looking for Ino and hopped off the rock and channeled her lava chakra and formed a lava fist.
Ino stood in front of her with a fist covered in ranton chakra. Ino narrowed her eyes and glared at Kurotsuchi and the Iwa girl did the exact same thing to the blonde. There were a few moments of silence raising the tension to heights unknown. Ino charged forward with her ranton imbued fist as Kurotsuchi dashed ahead with lava shooting off of her fist.
BOOM!
The ground shook with a rising intensity. Shockwaves were sent vibrating throughout the arena, shaking a few people from their seats and causing a few daimyo to burst out in excited laughter. Down in the arena, the two fists collided, with the special elemental jutsu trying to outdo each other. Ranton chakra spread and spiraled into the lava arm and started electrocuting Kurotsuchi, while her lava fist started burning Ino's knuckles quite badly, but neither dared to relent. In a last ditch effort, Kurotsuchi sent a kick to Ino. The blonde was knocked back, but as Ino flew back, she kicked Kurotsuchi's temple effectively knocking her out. Ino collapsed on the ground, out of chakra and energy.
Genma jumped over to check the two girl's vitals and released a sigh of relief. He looked up to the kage box and the people present and flashed two thumbs up. Everyone gasped in relief and started cheering for the two girls. Naruto was smiling like an idiot by the end of the match. The entire time they were giving their all, and now, he knew how to counter the Shuchu gou. Naruto smiled to himself since Ino couldn't use that jutsu on him anymore. He didn't worry about them since he knew they wouldn't die so soon.
"Alright. Next match. Omoi. Gaara. Come down." Genma called out. Deigning from using flashy entrances since he feared of wasting too much chakra on flashy entrances could cause him to lose, but somehow he was able to connect that to an invasion of aliens. Gaara on the other hand, chose to shunshin using his sand, and quickly got to the arena floor below. The ichibi jinchuriki waited patiently seeing as how he has all the time in the world. After nearly three minutes Omoi made it to the arena and sighed in defeat.
"Ready?" Genma asked. "Ready?" After receiving two nods he threw his hands down and jumped back "HAJIME!"
Gaara wasted no time and shot his sand tendrils out to grab Omoi, but the Kumo shinobi dodged the attacks easily. Gaara then did something he has never done before; it even surprised his father. The jinchuriki removed his gourd and let his sand tail flow with no problem. He calmly walked toward Omoi with the ultimate defense following him wherever he walked. Omoi saw this and calculated his chances of success carefully. After a few moments of thought, he was going to go with the three percent success. He charged forward with his hand on the handle of his katana.
Gaara sighed and let the attack hit its mark, but the sand of the ultimate defense shot up and took the hit instead of Gaara himself. Omoi's eyes went wide, and he quickly retracted his blade and back flipped away, making sure that he didn't land in sand or around it. He looked back up and found that Gaara was nowhere to be found. He started panicking, but then a punch smashed into his cheek. Omoi flew back a few feet, but repositioned himself. Gaara had a different look on his face. He held out his hands and formed a naginata from pure sand.
"I asked my father for some of his gold dust…" Gaara started. "I mixed it into the sand and now, my spear is perfect." Gaara charged forward with waves of sand helping him close the distance. The redhead lunged forward with the spear, not expecting it to hit its mark, and was blocked by Omoi's katana. The strange thing about the katana was that it was glowing with lightning chakra. Gaara spun his spear around again and brought it down on the Kumo shinobi. Omoi clashed his sword with the blade of the spear, but instead of the desired effect, the blade was split in half.
Gaara started lunging and slashing for Omoi, but the kid dodged, weaved, bent and evaded every attempt to Gaara made to get him. Omoi wasn't paying attention to what was happening. Gaara got close and bashed him in his chest with the butt of the spear and sent Omoi flying into a large dune of sand. His eyes widened. He looked down to Gaara whom of which, dropped his spear and held his hands up at the dune of sand.
"Suna raishin!" Suddenly little spike of sand shot down from the sky and embedded into the sand dune around Omoi. Omoi's eyes went wide when he realized what was going on. Lightning shot down and started jumping from lightning spike to lightning spike, and ultimately, Omoi himself. When the electricity hit the boy, he screamed out in pain, but he tried to stay conscious. The strange thing about this lightning was that he wasn't immune to it. As a lightning user, he was supposed to be immune from all forms of lightning and electricity.
Once the electricity finished pulsating through his body, he tried to stand up, but collapsed and rolled off the sand dune. His breath was slow and heavy, but before he could collide with the ground, Gaara formed up a sand platform and caught the unconscious Omoi and carried him towards the infirmary. There was a long moment of silence and Genma named Gaara the winner.
"Alright. Uchiha Sasuke vs. Abura-"
"Proctor, I yield." Shino quickly said clearly not wanting to fight Sasuke. Everyone gasped in surprise and all eyes went to Shino. He merely stated the fact that it would be highly illogical to fight against Sasuke, especially since he was a close quarter's power house that would beat him with little to no problem. Shino sighed and looked away.
"Might as well." Shikamaru gave Sasuke a look that slightly pissed him off. "I yield too proctor. I'll die if I have to fight the Uchiha."
"What the fuck dude?" Sasuke asked with slight anger in his voice. "Come on! Don't quite dude."
"It's already done." Shikamaru sighed. "I don't feel like dying so soon Sasuke."
"Lazy prick." Sasuke growled. Naruto sighed and stood from his seat. Temari opened her fan and used it to surf down to the arena. Sasuke had a blank look on his face. He looked over to Shikamaru to see that he wasn't impressed with that, but then again, Shikamaru says being impressed with something means that you have to examine it and critique it, and to do those things you have to work. Which is in a simple word; troublesome.
Sasuke jumped over the railing and landed silently in front of Temari. From what the Uchiha was able to discern from her fight in the preliminaries, she was highly proficient in wind jutsu. He could only assume that she got better. He took a deep breath and nodded his head. Nothing but fire jutsu. He learned that when Naruto got in a pattern with his Kaze-me, the redhead would just send wave after wave after wave of wind at the Uchiha. Sasuke at the time was confident with his lightning release and would sent out lightning strikes, but the wind would beat it back leaving Sasuke to use his fire techniques. Let's just say, it was majestic.
"Hajime!"
Temari swung her fan open and sent a large blast of wind at Sasuke. The Uchiha shut his eyes and activated the sharingan. Much to everyone's surprise, he had three tomoe in each eye instead of just two. Naruto's face brightened and he turned to Kakashi. The silver-haired jounin nodded his head slightly at Naruto and smiled back.
Down in the arena, Sasuke sped forward with speed close to Haku's when she'd use swift release. Sasuke evade the wave of wind with no problem and sent a few shuriken as a distraction. She sent a blast of wind to blow the projectiles off course, and succeeded. She realized something though. Sasuke was nowhere to be found. The Uchiha was hiding behind one of the many dried lava constructs still standing from the previous fights. Sasuke threw up the familiar cross hand seal and ten clones formed. They knew the plan and they scattered to different boulders.
One of the Sasuke clones was filled with more chakra than the others and charged out with a big smile on his face. The clone looked at Temari and taunted her, causing her to chase after him with her fan. The Uchiha clone led her in between the rocks and boulders and dried lava. Immediately everyone knew how this was going to end. People's hearts were beating. They were excited. Temari coughed up with the Uchiha and swung her fan down onto his head. But when she realized where she was, the remaining Sasuke's came out and sped through hand seals.
"Katon: Gokakyuu no jutsu!" The ten Sasuke's, including the original shouted at the same time. Temari's face was stretched in fear. She couldn't use wind jutsu in a situation like this. The real Sasuke acted quickly and vanished underground before the fireballs were shot. No one watching the fight noticed Sasuke disappearing.
BOOM!
The Sasuke's shot out long trails of flames at Temari in the center of the circle. The flames collided with the ground and the entire central clearing in between the rocks, basically turned into a kiln of sorts. Fire shot out from the creases and shot up when the pressure became too much. When the flames cleared the clones popped out of existence. But instead of crying pain, or moaning, the sound of chirping birds was heard. Temari's face was wrought with fear when she felt the electrical charges stick to her arms and neck. She shivered and took a deep breath.
"Surrender Temari. I don't want to kill you." Sasuke whispered. "That and I don't think Shikamaru would like me kill you."
Temari blushed brightly and looked up to see Shikamaru with a worried expression spread across his face. She gave a small smile and looked down to the ground. She raised her hand and Genma immediately shot down to her. She took another deep breath before saying the words.
"Proctor. I surrender." Temari dropped her fan at her side and Sasuke released his chidori. Every exploded in cheers and clapped for the end of the match. The Kazekage sighed in relief and wiped the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead. The other Kage's repositioned themselves for the final fight. The fight that everyone was excited for. The three way between Yugito, Roushi and Naruto.
The three jinchuriki wasted no time. Yugito lightning shunshined and Roushi lava shunshined down to the arena while Naruto simple jumped over the side like so many others did before him. His haori flapped wildly and his tails were enjoying the wind felt when he descended like that. Girls giggled and whispered about Naruto with big smiles and blushed faces. Haku, Ino and Kurotsuchi were immediately annoyed by the comments. The three of them watched silently with their kitsune.
Kurotsuchi would have rooted for Roushi, but since he disrespected her in front of her new friends like that, she lost all respect for him, even though she knew something was wrong with him. Kurotsuchi was worried for Naruto since Roushi had an almost impenetrable lava armor. She knew all about his weaknesses, even though he didn't have many, but she didn't have enough time to give it to him.
The three jinchuriki were going to fight each other blind. Out of the three in the arena, Yugito was the weakest. Naruto made it his plan to defeat Yugito first and take on Roushi by himself. He didn't want to look forward to the two jinchuriki ganging up on him. While he walked up to the two jinchuriki, he channeled as much nature chakra he could. He even had two clones calling on nature chakra that the toads use and he had two cones calling on the eagle nature chakra. As a sage of the three summons he is signed to, as a fox, he is already in fox sage mode, and he will never get out of it. With toad sage mode, he gains the eye shadow of a normal sage mode eye. He also learned the frog kata's from Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima. During his month long training with his different summons, he mastered the eagle sage mode.
When he first entered the eagle sage mode, great brown, feathered wings sprang from his back. He basically looked like a crazy monster from myth. The great thing about him was that he was able to stack each sage mode upon each other, and allow the use of four sage modes at once. With all three combined together, Naruto can't be hit, surprised, or caught. That was why he was in search for the dragon summoning contract. He wanted his last sage mode mastered to be the dragon sage mode.
A problem with eagle sage mode, was that one had to use a constant and concentrated flow of wind chakra to keep the user floating. As they stay levitated, they are able to get the type of nature chakra found only in the sky. The sage mode of the toads required Naruto to sit and meditate for any given amount of time to build up nature chakra, while in fox sage mode; he was able to continuously suck in nature chakra even while he was doing everything he normally would.
"Ready?" Genma asked. All three genin nodded their heads. "HAJIME!"
Yugito and Roushi shot back. Roushi sat down behind a dried lava column hidden from sight, but not from Hinata's. She kept watch on his chakra flow. Suddenly, the flow was greatly disturbed, and the dark power within him started washing out his normal chakra. Hinata looked surprised and looked up at the kage box after following the chakra trail. She narrowed her eyes at the Otokage whom had a hidden ram seal beneath his cloak. She looked back to see Roushi's facial expression changed.
"Hey…guys…" Hinata whispered to her friends. Everyone looked at her. "Come on. We should go to the competitor's box…it's really important."
She was followed by a large group of genin, as they ran up to the competitor's box. She knocked on the door and it opened to reveal Kurotsuchi. Hinata walked in with the rest of the genin that participated in the preliminaries. They had looks of confusion but walked in anyway. Hinata took a deep breath and went on to explain her hunch.
Down in the arena…
"Fuuton: Hiryuu no jutsu!" A large invisible dragon shot towards Yugito, whom of which had a hard time dodging the constant blasts of wind and high leveled jutsu being hurled at her. Naruto wasn't even concentrating on Roushi. Every attack sent at the Kyuubi container, Naruto dodged it and slapped it back at Roushi with one of his tails. Yugito was sweating bullets when Naruto channeled a large wave of red chakra. He sped forward and rammed his fist into the girls gut. He pulled his arm back and sent a roundhouse kick into her chest, knocking her down into the ground.
People gasped and groaned in pain from seeing the drop kick connect. Yugito was a coughing mess for a bit, but Naruto used his tails and wrapped them around her and threw her into a wall, knocking her out for the rest of the fight. Naruto turned his attention at Roushi, whom of which had a maniacal smirk spread wide across his face. Roushi sped through hand seals.
"Youton: Shakugaryuugan no Jutsu!" Roushi took a deep breath and shot out large lava bullets, but the bullets cooled slightly and formed large rocks covered in bright red and yellow flames. Naruto sped past each one, evading and weaving in between each rock as it passed by him. Naruto shunshined behind him and had a glowing ball of spiraling goodness.
"Rasengan!" Naruto rammed the ball into Roushi's back, sending him flying off into a dried lava structure. He jumped forward and started speeding through hand seals.
Up in the competitor's box…
Hinata had just finished explaining what she was able to piece together by looking at Roushi's chakra signature. It was as if he were on a genjutsu, and there was a time limit, before whatever was inside of him exploded outwards. She explained that it was like how Naruto had something inside of him and that there were three others that were like Naruto and Roushi. The difference was that three of the jinchuriki were at peace with their bijuu, while the other two seemed to be struggling for power, especially since the blonde girl got knocked out, her inner power was spiraling out of control.
"So you think the Otokage is using the manipulating the Tsuchikage and Raikage?" Kakashi asked.
"That has to be the only reason. I saw the looks on their faces and the changes in emotions on their faces." Hinata said. "I also followed a trail of chakra leading from Roushi, when the changes took place, back to the Otokage."
"This is bad…" Kakashi said.
In the arena…
"Fuuton: Rasenbakudan!" Naruto hurled threw little rasengan into the air. After a few moments of spinning and cutting through the wind, they landed around Roushi and exploded violently and sent him flying into a dried lava column. He sat back up and was blasted with a heavy wave of wind. The jinchuriki struggled to stay upright. Naruto formed another rasengan. But before he could charge forward, he was grabbed by a blue tail of chakra fire and thrown into the walls of the arena. Everyone gasped.
Yugito ran up to Roushi and lifted him up to his feet. It was never against the rules to team up on one of the contestants. People were cheering for the plot twist, while being completely oblivious to the coming storm just outside the walls of the village. All around the village there was a massive army of Kumo, Iwa and Oto shinobi all amassed together as one. Amongst the ranks of the army, there were Kumo shinobi signed with the wolf summoning contract and there were Oto shinobi signed with the snake summoning contract. It was invasion and no one knew. Except for the fact that Konoha did know.
As of now, the village had successfully hidden thousands of Kiri, Suna and many Konoha shinobi. Many were henged as civilians and merchants, while others were henged as simple objects that would normally be found in a bustling village like Konoha. They were henged as trashcans, birds, wires, doors, and whatever they could possibly find. Kumo, Iwa and Oto had no idea what was coming.
Naruto recuperated from the attack and looked to see Roushi looking like a monkey and Yugito with claws made from the Niibi's chakra. The two of them had shown their true colors and had chosen to team up on Naruto. The redhead of konoha dispelled one of his clones gathering Gama Senjutsu chakra and dispelled one clone that was gathering Washi Senjutsu chakra. The changes were immediate. Two wings sprouted from his back and made him look like an angel. His tails enlarged and he gained an orange eye shadow as a result of mastering Gama Senjutsu.
Yugito and Roushi backed away in fear of what Naruto had become. Jiraiya in the stands beamed at his grandson knowing full well that the kid had far surpassed his father, and know he was stacking Senjutsu upon Senjutsu upon another Senjutsu. Jiraiya was amazed at this, and couldn't help but to smile. It wasn't his fault; the amount of Nature chakra calmed everyone's nerves and made them happy. Naruto opened his eyes to reveal the Sutoumu-me.
The two jinchuriki charged forward which close range attacks, but Naruto was able to dodge each one. Not even a singed or shocked part of his clothing or skin. He landed on his feet and flapped his wings, sending Sutoumu-me leveled winds at the two. Naruto shot his tails out smashing them against the two jinchuriki, sending them careening into the walls of the arena. Just as Naruto was about to deliver the finishing blow to the two of them, a series of explosions rocked the village. In the distance smoke began to rise and the sounds of combat started echoing into the village ambiance.
Feathers began to fall. Naruto started to feel drowsy, but his mother and Kura bonked him awake. Naruto woke up from his drowsy state and glared at Roushi and Yugito. Another explosion sounded. He turned his attention to the kage box. Immediately, the Kage's were battling it out.
In the Kage box…
"It ends here! The Namikaze name will be no more!" Both the third Raikage and Tsuchikage shouted. The Otokage removed his robes to reveal Orochimaru in his combat armor. "As well as Konoha."
"Back away Hiruzen!" Zabuza and the Kazekage grabbed the Sandaime Hokage and hopped away with him in their arms.
In the competitor's box…
"Dad! No!" Kurotsuchi screamed to her father. Akatsuchi didn't even fight. Kitsuchi barged into the room with a group of Iwa and Kumo shinobi. Omoi and Karui defended the konoha teams. Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi took up defense against her father. Kuro turned to Haku and the others. "Go! Defend the village! I'll handle my father!"
Ino and Haku charged from the room with their team's right behind them. Gaara and Yagura jumped over the railing to join the jinchuriki's fighting in the arena below. Sasuke and Sakura left with Kakashi to aid in repelling enemy shinobi coming in from the west gate. It was utter confusion in the air. Smoke filled everyone's lungs. Explosions filled their ears. They were at war.
With Ino…
"Ninpou: Genmetsu!" Ino's jutsu spread in a wide arc and connected with many chunin leveled Iwa and Kumo shinobi. They turned on their comrades and started killing each other, making it easy for them to pass through to the south gate. She ran past a group of Kiri shinobi fighting Iwa shinobi and sent a few blasts of lightning at the rock ninja. To her right Haku was speeding through hand seals.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa!" Walls of Iwa shinobi were blasted back by the combined jutsu effect of Temari and Haku. The two lovers of Naruto were about to be over taken from the flanks, but there was a sudden change in chakra output in the battlefield and a purple and black fox dropped down in front of the two girls with. She stood on her hind legs and started transforming into a human with curly hair. Haku smiled brightly at Yoko.
The fox didn't even go through hand seals and formed up a massive wall of earth and sent it rolling towards the invading force, crushing and smashing everything in its path. From their other flank, Fujika was slicing and dicing through her targets with the utmost grace in her movements. She channeled massive amounts of lightning chakra into her hands and tails and was rushing through entire platoons without prejudice. Streets became bloodbaths and alleys became graves.
With Kurotsuchi…
The girl jumped back and dodged another attack from her father and sent a punch to his jaw. He doubled back but continued his attack. One of the Iwa shinobi came out from behind and sped through familiar hand seals.
"Bakuton: Bakuhatsu iki no jutsu!" The Iwa shinobi took a breath and shot out highly explosive chakra particles. Kurotsuchi quickly formed earth clones and grabbed the remaining shinobi in the competitor's box, and jumped over the side of the railing and took defensive positions against the invading armies. They had no choice in the matter and had to defend themselves against Kiri, Suna and Konoha shinobi, but they didn't aim for kill hits for anyone. They didn't want to kill anyone.
It took a moment, but Kurotsuchi had realized where she had taken the group to. Her eyes widened when she felt the earth rumble beneath her. There was a group of Konoha shinobi stuck underneath a boulder. She turned to her group and motioned for them the assist Naruto in any way possible. She ran up to the Konoha shinobi and focused chakra into her arms and pushed the boulder off the trapped Konoha shinobi. They all looked at Kurotsuchi with hate.
"Kill her!" One of them shouted. "It's her fault that this is happening!"
"W-Wait! Just h-hold on a moment!" Kurotsuchi held up her hands in defense. "I just s-saved you! And this is the thanks I get?!"
The Konoha shinobi shrunk when they felt the killer intent roll off of Kuro. She shook her head and took off for her team. They had one mission in mind, and it was to hold off the invasion either by force or by words. She did some thinking and all of this was just so wrong. Everything seemed set up to weaken not only Konoha, but weaken all five great Nations. She thought about it and thought about who it would help. Her eyes widened and she looked up to the Kage box and gasped.
'The Otokage…that's who it would help!'
Just before she could do more, her kitsune dropped from nowhere and pulled out her swords with each tail. Seiko turned into her human form and gave a small smile at Kuro before charging through at a group of Oto shinobi. Kuro did a quick look around and found that Oto shinobi were stabbing Kumo and Iwa shinobi in the backs. She looked to see the same Konoha shinobi about to get annihilated by her own people. She shook off the shock and charged to protect the Konoha shinobi. She got in between the two factions.
"Stop this!" Kuro shouted. "Stop this! We are weakening each other just so Oto could rise up! Look around you!"
The Iwa shinobi stopped and indeed looked around. But the Oto shinobi noticed the idle Iwa shinobi and started tearing through them and turned their attention on the Konoha shinobi behind Kurotsuchi. They had scowls on their eyes, since they wore full face masks that only left their eyes to be seen. The Oto shinobi walked around the Konoha shinobi and Kuro.
"It seems that the little Iwa bitch is smart. Too bad we'll kill you." The lead Oto jounin sighed. "I would have loved to make you my personal whore."
Kurotsuchi backed up. Soon enough the Konoha ninja thought that it was time to pay her back and stood up to defend her. The jounin looked at her and gave her a nod. The Konoha shinobi charged forward and engaged the Oto ninja in taijutsu leaving three stragglers. They turned their attention to Kurotsuchi, not even caring about the skills she has.
With Naruto…
"Duck!" Naruto shouted and pulled Yagura and Gaara down to the ground. "Gaara send your sand out and bash them through the wall. Yagura, send out your water to drench Yugito so if she uses her lightning, she'll get electrocuted!"
"Got it!" Yagura replied and sped through hand seals and sent out the water blast. The attack connected and sent Yugito into the wall behind her with so much force, it started cracking. Gaara sent out a blast of sand and it bashed Roushi through the wall. Roushi suddenly grew another tail and sent a giant blast of blue flames.
When Roushi recuperated from releasing the blast of blue flames, two Kiri chunin charged for him. He sent out his tails and wrapped them around the chunin's throats and tore them open with the bone plates sticking out of his tail. Roushi jumped and punched a Konoha chunin in the jaw, killing him instantly. He turned his attention to three Suna chunin charging in. Roushi sped through hand seals and sent a large wave of lava, which quickly burned and melted them.
Another explosion went off and part of the arena wall collapsed. Roushi held his ground. More shinobi charged for him, but he ended them all the same. Yugito pushed herself up out of the collapsed wall section with her jinchuriki strength. In the cover of smoke and dust, Roushi and Yugito charged through the village to escape the other three.
With the kage…
Zabuza jumped up and slashed down for the ridiculously fast Raikage. When he landed he had to quickly evade and dodge Oonoki's dust release attacks. The Kazekage came around with a blast of gold dust. He spun around and forced the wave of gold onto Oonoki, but the old man vaporized the attack and opened up for Orochimaru to attack with the Kusanagi no Tsurugi.
Hiruzen pushed Zabuza away and sped through hand seals. He hurled a few shuriken, but much to Orochimaru's mirth, the shuriken multiplied to numbers well into the hundreds. The three kage on the invading side evaded and jumped around, dodging shuriken and shuriken bunshin. Orochimaru came back around and sent a bundle of snakes, from those snakes he brought to life a snake clone and jumped behind the kage on his side.
He was about to slam his hands on the floor, but Jiraiya came to save the day and rammed a rasengan in his former friend's chest. The snake man shed the former skin and called upon the sound five. Jiraiya jumped back with the Hokage, Mizukage and Kazekage. The sound five also happened to have cursed seals on their bodies. They channeled the tainted power and entered second stage.
With the jinchuriki…
"Rasenbakudan!" Naruto rammed an explosive rasengan into the chest of an Oto shinobi. It took a while for Naruto to realize it, but Oto shinobi were pouring into the village and picking off their allies one by one while Kumo and Iwa were fighting the Konoha, Kiri and Suna forces by themselves. Naruto grabbed a group of Oto shinobi off of a team of Kumo ninja, and rammed exploding rasengan into their throats.
"Hijutsu: Ban'no no Kuchiyose no jutsu!" Naruto slammed his hands down and a series of large explosions took place. Fighting stopped to see what was happening. Once the white smoke cleared it came to reveal foxes, toads and eagles, dressed out for combat. The foxes were in their human forms with katana's and spears wielded. The toads were the larger sized summons with large blades to accentuate their size, and the eagles had extra armored talons for mass mutilation. "Go for the ones with the sound hitai-ate!"
The summons charged out immediately and started rampaging through the village with swords claws and spears. The shinobi had no idea what had just happened. Iwa and Kumo shinobi were confused and looked amongst their ranks to see Oto shinobi killing off their own comrades instead of aiding them. This immediately angered the Iwa and Kumo shinobi.
Naruto smiled to himself and took off into the forest after the two unstable jinchuriki.
With Kurotsuchi…
Kurotsuchi tore her kunai from the Oto jounin's skull and kicked his dead body away. The Konoha shinobi that she protected were alive and well. The walked up to her and bowed in respect and took off to help repel the Oto invasion. Kurotsuchi left the bloody arena and walked out onto the streets to find countless bodies of allies and enemies alike.
Smoke rose in the distance and buildings were collapsing. She walked out onto the street with a katana wielded. She looked left and right for any sign of the Oto traitors. It was only a matter of time before the armies of the five nations realized that they weren't the enemy, but instead it was the Land of Sound. If only she knew who that Otokage was…
She dashed across the street and jumped over some rubble and found a small skirmish between some ambushed Kumo and Konoha chunin's. They were terrified and seemed to have figured out that Oto betrayed them a little too late. They were pinned down by massive amounts of kunai and shuriken fire. Kurotsuchi slid down to them with her Seiko somehow right next to her. Kuro face-faulted when she realized that Seiko wasn't there with her when the Oto shinobi attacked.
"Kurotsuchi-sama." The fox said with a simple tone. She reached into her armor and drew out five swords and wielded each one with perfection. "Follow my lead and we will beat the traitors back." Kurotsuchi raised an eyebrow but complied anyway. The two got up from the rubble and barrel rolled forward and landed next to the Kumo and Konoha shinobi, scaring them all.
"We are allies." Kurotsuchi breathed. "Follow our lead and we'll get out alive alright? Oto is our enemy now. Try and spread the word so we can turn the tide of battle and end this worthless bloodshed." Seiko jumped over the cover and started spinning like a tornado made from blades. Every kunai and shuriken was aimed at her, but every projectile was expertly sent back to the thrower with precision of a master. Kurotsuchi jumped over the cover with the shinobi behind her and started going through the gauntlet.
With Ino…
It took her only a few minutes to realize who their real enemy was. She was now pinned down with Karui some Iwa shinobi and a Kiri shinobi. Down the street, there were at least three platoons of sound ninja pelting them with explosives and shuriken. Ino was separated from Haku and the rest of the konoha eleven. She surmised that they were on their way to the academy to evacuate the children to the catacombs within the mountain side.
She dropped into prone position and started crawling across the ruined road with the other shinobi shooting back with kunai and bombs. Ino reached out to Fujika and nodded at the special fox. Fujika smiled and turned transparent and ultimately invisible. Ino looked to the other shinobi.
"Use as many elemental jutsu you know and if you don't, just hurl kunai!" Ino looked over the side and sped through hand seals.
"Ranton: Reizā Sākasu!" She extended her hands and lasers shot out and blasted into the Oto positions across the street in a building. The moment the jutsu finished firing, she was immediately pelted with kunai and shuriken. "Go! Someone else!"
"Suiton: Suidangan no jutsu!" The Kiri shinobi spit forward a flurry of water bullets that plowed through wood and concrete. There was a crate of explosive tags next to the platoon of Oto in their immediate vicinity. As the water bullet's continued to fly, Ino reached over and motioned for the Iwa shinobi to come close.
"Do any of you know fire jutsu?" Ino asked.
"All three of us do." One of the kunoichi replied.
"Good. Aim for those crates." Ino pointed from over the rubble they used for cover. The three Iwa shinobi nodded their heads and sped through hand seals.
"Get down Kiri-san." Ino shouted. The Iwa shinobi shot up over the cover.
"Katon: Karyuu dangan no jutsu!" The three shot out a dragon in the shape of a bullet and hit the explosive tag boxes with the utmost precision. Ino pulled the three down and forced Karui down and protected her unofficial team. The explosion tore apart the building with the Oto platoon and turned them to red dust. Ino looked down the rest of the street to see Oto shinobi making too much ground in Konoha and fighting back the five great nations combined.
Suddenly a large eagle came rushing in and grabbed a large group of Oto shinobi and tossed them over to some fox summons in their fox form. Ino smiled and immediately knew that there was only one person in the world with that kind of summon.
With Naruto…
The three jinchuriki were dashing through the forest in hot pursuit of the other two jinchuriki. There was something extremely wrong with them. It wasn't only the fact that their erratic behavior seemed out of character for them, but they were killing everything in their paths. Naruto and the other jinchuriki caught up when Yugito and Roushi stopped on a tree branch. They were an entire mile away from the village walls. Naruto looked back to see smoke and large summons battling it out over the village.
He turned his attention back to Roushi and Yugito to see them transforming. A second later, and they were launched back by the sheer power the bijuu held within them had at their disposal. Yugito transformed into a massive two-tailed cat and Roushi transformed into a massive gorilla with huge tusks coming out of its mouth. Gaara looked to Yagura who looked to Naruto.
"Naruto! Yagura and I can transform into our bijuu, but you can't can you?" The Suna redhead asked.
"No. I can't. But Kura-nee and I have been working together on a synchronized bijuu cloak, so you two distract them and I'll handle the hosts." Yagura and Gaara nodded their heads and wasted no time transforming into Shukaku and Isobu. Isobu wrapped its tails around himself and rolled forward smashing over trees and whatever else was in its way and crashed into Son Goku, the four tailed gorilla. Son Goku grabbed the three tailed bowling ball and hurled him into a mountain. Naruto closed his eyes and started channeling Kura's chakra. Since he and Kura were such good friends, his chakra cloak immediately skipped the whole bubbly state and his chakra cloak was golden and glowing like flames. All around him trees were growing larger and stronger because of his Yang chakra
He looked up and Gaara in his Shukaku form was battling it out with the blue flame cat. Matatabi. She took a deep breath and shot out a large blast of fire, blowing the Tanuki back a few hundred feet. Gaara swung around with his tail and slapped Matatabi across the face, sending her into a mountain. Naruto took it as his time to attack. He shut his eyes and in an instant, he phased up to the head of Shukaku as he grabbed Matatabi's arms. The feline of flames was quite feisty and clawed at Shukaku.
Naruto jumped off the Tanuki's head and charged down his large arms with a rasengan in his hand. Naruto closed the distance with the passed out jinchuriki sticking out of Matatabi's head like its normal. He raised his hand, but Matatabi sent it's self-defense at Naruto; in other words, she sent huge tendrils of black flames that could melt upon impact, at the golden jinchuriki. But before the black flames could get to him, he flashed away and reappeared behind Yugito and rammed his rasengan in her back.
He weakened the amount of chakra so he didn't kill her. Immediately, Matatabi started to vanish and get sucked back into Yugito. Naruto quickly flashed towards her and grabbed her, ending her descent, but just as he set her down against a tree, Yagura was flung across the battlefield and embedded into the mountain side.
"This'll take a while…"
With Haku…
She was stuck in a building with some Kumo and Kiri shinobi. They were holed up with Oto shinobi everywhere. Kunai and shuriken were thrown at them, but they were protected by the safety of the building. Yoko was sitting across the room, meditating. Her tails wrapped around her like a Bodhavista. An Oto sharpshooter hurled a kunai at the meditating fox, but the kunai stopped mid-air. The kunai slowly turned around and shot back at its owner, digging deep into the Sound ninja's chest.
Haku nodded her head and formed her favorite hand seals. She looked at her companions and nodded at the Kiri shinobi who held the Kumo back and protected them.
"Makyo Hyosho!" Ice mirrors started forming from nothing all around the street. The sound shinobi were confused, but continued their assault of hurling kunai into the building. Little did they know a thick mist was coming in. Once the fog settled, Haku went in for the main course. She zoomed in between each mirror, while sending senbon hailstorms into each target, while inside the building the kunai that were thrown in were waiting patiently for the mirrors and mist to depart.
After turning a good amount of the shinobi trapped in her ice mirrors into porcupines, she released her jutsu and appeared back in the building. She shot out and covered the remaining shinobi in an ice dome. Yoko sent the kunai and shuriken back at the immobilized shinobi of sound. Yoko also didn't notice that many of the kunai were strapped with explosive tags. The resulting explosion tore apart the building they were in, but Haku's ice dome protected every shinobi.
With Kakashi…
Sasuke and Sakura had just finished slicing an Oto brute in half thanks to their combined use of chidori. The Oto shinobi didn't know what to expect from the Sharingan no Kakashi and his students. The three of them stood on top of a large pile of rubble and continued to hold their position against the constant advancement of Sound forces.
He turned to see Kumo and Iwa shinobi converging for the wall. Sasuke and Sakura quickly took out kunai and got ready for a fight. Kakashi quickly placed a hand over their weapons and told them to stand down. The former enemies charged past the three Konoha shinobi and started taking down the invading sound ninja alongside other Konoha shinobi and Suna.
Kakashi sighed and knew that the battle was coming to an end soon. Faster than what he'd imagined, but if he had to put a finger on it, he'd have to thank Naruto for the mass summoning of all of his summoning contracts. Even now, there were eagles patrolling the skies. The streets were getting cleaned by legions of foxes and toads, fighting Oto shinobi only.
With the Kage…
Orochimaru sent a snake imbued punch at Jiraiya, but it was blocked and redirected using Senjutsu-less frog kumite. Jiraiya side-stepped a bone attack from the white haired sound ninja and sent a rasengan, that drilled clean through the shinobi's chest and out his back. Hiruzen swung around with Enma the monkey king and sent the sound ninja flying into the wall of the building. Once his staff was out of the way, the third Raikage charged forward with two fingers retracted.
The Kazekage once again shot up a wall of gold dust, which slowed the Raikage down, giving Zabuza the perfect attack. The Mizukage swung out for the old Raikage, but his sword was bounced back by the Raikage's powerful lightning armor. Zabuza back flipped when Oonoki formed familiar hand seals.
"Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu!" A cylindrical object formed in his hands. The cylinder shot out and disintegrated a part of Zabuza's sword. Zabuza growled slightly and tossed his zanbato over to a mizu bunshin. He sped through some hand seals.
"Suiton: Suidangan no jutsu!" Zabuza shot off a barrage of water bullets at the floating Tsuchikage. He really didn't expect him to get hit but it broke the formation of the Raikage and Orochimaru. Zabuza looked at Hiruzen and the Kazekage. They immediately got the message and broke formation. They concentrated on Oonoki and forced him towards Zabuza. The floating old man had no idea what was coming.
With Karui…
The redheaded Kumo shinobi was aided by her cousin Omoi and a few Kiri and Suna shinobi. As of now the group was charging through the streets to see that most of the section of the village that they were in was infested with Oto shinobi. Karui got separated from Akatsuchi and a group of Konoha shinobi when a building collapsed sealing off the street.
"Break!" The girl shouted and charged over into an empty dead-end alleyway and the rest of the group jumped over to the opposite side. Kunai fitted with explosive kunai flew out into the street and started putting everything in smoke. She got nervous and grabbed her cousin and a Kiri shinobi and started running up the wall. Kunai continued to fly back and forth between the defenders and attackers. The Oto ninja kept their concentration on the street and paid no attention to Karui and Omoi moving in for a flanking attack.
"Long range jutsu!" She screamed. "Raiton: Raiko shindou no jutsu!" A large lightning bolt pulsed from her arms and shot out at the Oto position.
They were hidden behind rubble with the entire section of the street cut off from both sides. There was at least three platoons of twenty situated in the little forward operating base in the village. In one of the ruined buildings there was a large radio set up and shinobi field officers working on it. Karui was surprised. Most of that equipment was from Kumo or Iwa.
"Raiton: Rairyuu no jutsu!"
"Suiton: Suidangan no jutsu!"
All three attacks shot out at the same time and struck the front of the little base and tore it apart. Karui motioned through the smoke at the Suna and Kiri shinobi still pinned in the street corner and they popped out of cover and charged for the Oto shinobi still dazed from the tri-attacks. The shinobi ran forward and picked swords up off the ground from their dead comrades and former enemies of Kumo and Iwa. Karui and Omoi jumped off the building and drew out their swords and slashed down onto the unsuspecting shinobi.
She and Omoi barrel rolled with perfect synchronization and slashed off the legs of three Oto jounin in wide slashes. They shot to their feet and started taking down shinobi after shinobi with little care. Karui suddenly got her sword stuck in the skull of an enemy shinobi and left it to rely on kunai. The great thing about her kunai was that they were custom made like trench knives. Her knuckles were protected with spikes that were perfect for close range combat.
An Oto chunin came to close and Karui rammed her right fist into his face, mauling off a great deal of skin. She ripped her fist from his face and sent a drop kick into his chest, sending him into another chunin. She turned and engaged in a few taijutsu bouts with an Oto shinobi and had a grand finish with stabbing the shinobi full of electricity and puncture wounds. She jumped over to the side and went back to back with Omoi. The two of them with their weapons held steady.
Within a few moments, they took to position and successfully eradicated the Oto force in the section. She and Omoi broke down the defenses of the building holding the rest of the sound force. Apparently, they had the place locked down with seals and other types of powerful locking jutsu. The two Kumo shinobi jumped in with deflecting kunai that were launched from traps placed on the walls and ceiling. Omoi came around with his sword and slashed up and cut some of the trap seals in half. He spun down onto his knee and threw his sword like a kunai and pierced one of the sound communication ninja.
He looked over to his cousin and nodded. It was time to get hacking.
With Ino…
After a few minutes of dashing in between streets and alleyways she was able to get up a large group of thirty some, kunoichi and shinobi. She was even able to find the other members of her team. She found Shikamaru binding a large group of sound shinobi while Chouji came around and smashed them with his human bullet technique. The two male members of the team were accompanied with ten shinobi from Konoha and Kumo. As of now the entire group was street sweeping and had succeeded so far in getting rid of Oto.
Ino jumped up and rammed a water blade into a shinobi's face and spun around on her knee with a kunai drawn out and rammed it into another's knee. She sent her foot up and kicked the shinobi in his groin. The man doubled over with tears pouring from his eyes. Ino kicked his body off of hers and drew out a handful of shuriken and hurled them at the building group of Oto shinobi.
"Scatter!" Ino quickly sped through hand seals while the group spread out and jumped onto rooftops. "Ranton: Reizā Sākasu!" The lasers spit forward and slashed and weaved through the Oto force in front of them. To her left some Konoha and Kumo shinobi sent fire jutsu and on her right, the rest shot off earth and lightning jutsu, while the Oto shinobi sent vibrations and wind jutsu down the street at them. Some shinobi on her side were hit immediately while some were mortally wounded.
Ino sidestepped and dodged a vertical wind blade attack from a sound shinobi ten yards away from her. The blonde jumped up and sent a flurry of water bullets that smashed and impacted each shinobi in painful ways and sent their body parts flying in different directions. The blonde then sped through another set of jutsu and a large and well-defined water blade grew in her hand. Another blast of with shot for her, but she smiled. She slashed down on the attack and split the jutsu in half, dispersing the attacks intended damage.
"Charge!" Ino screamed over the explosions and jutsu's being hurled back and forth. Every shinobi and kunoichi drew their swords, knives and whatever weapons they had on themselves at the moment. The Oto ninja shook their heads and charged towards them as well. Once the clashed, many Konoha and Kumo shinobi were killed on the first clash.
Ino ducked when the lead Oto shinobi made for her gut with a slash. The blonde smirked from her crouched position and shoved her sword into the man's gut and tore it out. She swung around and slashed through a sword and cleanly cut someone's arm off. From behind the Oto shinobi she could see Fujika's invisible form making its way towards the backside of the Oto formation. The blonde smiled to Shika and pulled everyone back.
The sound ninja's were laughing thinking that the defenders had retreated, but one by one they were ripped to shreds. Their clothes mangled. Their skin peeled off and their bones chewed clean of the marrow. Their brains were sucked from their skulls and their hearts chomped upon. Their guts were filet mignon'd, leaving Fujika back in her visible form and drenched in blood. Her tails painted red instead of their normal purple.
Ino nodded her head in approval. Fujika raised a finger and whistled out for something and suddenly, from the alley's at least fifty more allied shinobi showed up. Ino smiled brightly and got the new comers up to speed with her plan and what has been going on since the invasion.
With Kurotsuchi and Haku…
"Youton: Yougan Nami no jutsu!" Kurotsuchi spit forth a large wave of lava that washed upon the platoon of Oto shinobi that pinned her group down. Behind her Seiko was having a field day and was tearing through every shinobi that got in her path. The Konoha shinobi were engaging their own opponents with taijutsu and kenjutsu. To her right, her fellow lava release users were drowning out an alleyway with lava and slaughtered the sound shinobi.
But it didn't last long. The sound ninja in the area had gained a large reinforcement boost and now instead of just five platoons to deal with she had twenty platoons surrounding her or fighting her. Suddenly three large domes made from mirrors rose with thick mist building up in the center of each dome. The domes were connected by 'halls' made from the same ice mirrors. The domes surrounded three platoons each terrifying the Oto shinobi. One of the mirrors grew a figure.
"Kuro-chan!" Haku's voice sounded. "Get your long range jutsu ready and fire them over the halls that I made and defend the mirrors! If they break then it's over!" Haku disappeared. Kurotsuchi looked into one of the domes and was awash in enemy blood.
During the time that Kurotsuchi got to know Haku she knew that the girl didn't like killing, but for some reason, it seemed Haku was doing this out of choice. After getting pitted in a situation like this must do things to people that shows what you truly are. Kurotsuchi shook those thoughts for another time and stretched her arms. She sped through hand seals and looked to see Seiko with the five elements building up at the tips of her tails while she sat in a meditative stance. Yoko suddenly jumped in and sat in a meditative stance and formed up a large shield of Senjutsu chakra.
"Attack!" Kurotsuchi and her team shot out large waves of lava, fire, water, earth, lightning and wind up and over the ice domes. The charging sound shinobi were caught off guard and were blown back, electrocuted, incinerated, flattened, melted, or drowned. Kurotsuchi coughed slightly but reached into her pouch and took out a soldier pill and popped it into her mouth. She straightened out and had a new look in her face. She sped through another set of hand seals and spun around when she sensed an enemy shinobi jumping over the mirror halls.
"Youton: Yougan-dan no jutsu!" She spit forward a heavy barrage of lava bullets and blasted the unlucky shinobi back and sent him flying off the hallway's top. 'Where the hell are all of these damn shinobi coming from?!'
With the jinchuriki…
Naruto was on Shukaku's form breathing heavily. He had already used up both of his Senjutsu gathering clones hours ago and was now relying on his fox sage mode. He was drenched in sweat and his body ached. He had to finish this soon. Gaara had just lost an arm and was having trouble rebuilding it. As of now, Roushi was wailing on Yagura. The poor turtle had no idea what was coming. But it was all part of the plan.
"Now Gaara! When he has a pattern going on!" Gaara nodded his huge Shukaku head and sent his sand tail out and grabbed the gorilla's arm and pulled Son Goku off of Yagura/Isobu. The three tailed turtle shot up and shot its tails out and wrapped around Son Goku's arms and legs binding him tightly. The redheaded fox sage jumped off of Gaara's head and landed on Son Goku's forearm and charged upwards towards the giant gorilla's head. Naruto shot out his tails and grabbed onto his right tusk and swung around, using his momentum to carry him up. He pulled his tails back and landed onto the gorilla's head with a rasengan in each tail. She shot the tails at Roushi's figure sticking up out of Son Goku's head, but some fur shot out and grabbed his tails and spread them out making Naruto lose his rasengan.
Naruto was suddenly sprung forward and rammed his fist into Roushi's face. The resulting explosion shook the entire battlefield silent, but it continued shortly afterwards. Roushi's eyes awoke and they were no longer dilated. Instead they had fear shooting out of them like daggers. Roushi started hyperventilating and Son Goku started disappearing. Naruto looked over to Gaara and Yagura and saw them started turning back into their human forms.
He shut his eyes and channeled as much kitsune natural chakra and launched his tails out and wrapped them around the falling bodies of Yagura, Roushi and Gaara. He wrapped another tail around a tree below him and swung around while pulling himself closer to the ground. His tail slipped and shortened bringing the three other jinchuriki towards him. He was too weak to move out of the way and ended up crashing with the three in mid-air. They continued to fall and crashed through tree branches and tree trunks and landed on Yugito's unconscious body.
With the Kage…
Oonoki fell for the trap after a few minutes of baiting and taunting. Zabuza now had him in a ball of water and around them Enma the monkey king had formed a cage around the two protecting them from any attacks from the three kage in front of them. Oonoki couldn't move and could barely breathe. Something interesting about the water prison that Zabuza had caught the Tsuchikage in, he was constantly sucking the chakra from the old man.
A massive surge of chakra shook the village again collapsing another part of the arena, and once again stopping the fight. Everywhere eagles were dispelling and Orochimaru took a look around the village and came to realize that his invasion was defeated. His plan was originally to invade and hitchhike on the backs of Iwa and Kumo by manipulating their kage, and kill them along the way and blame it on Konoha, Suna and Kiri. All the while, the snake sannin would bring forth his dream of destroying Konoha and killing everyone inside. He took a quick moment to contemplate his decisions and came up with a simple conclusion, since all of his forces were fleeing the village.
Orochimaru drew out the kusanagi once again and shoved it through the third Raikage's thunderbolt scar on his chest through his backside. The other Kage's were caught off guard. Orochimaru extended the blade and stabbed it through a gold dust wave and impaled the Kazekage through his throat. Orochimaru tore it from the redheaded Kage's chest and shortened the blade. Orochimaru slashed the sword while it was still imbedded in the Raikage's chest and slashed it out through his right abdomen. Zabuza and Oonoki were horrified with this turn of events. Hiruzen didn't react fast enough and Orochimaru's sword extended as he spun around and sliced the head of the Sandaime off of his body. Zabuza released the water prison once Enma dispelled.
Oonoki gave a look at Zabuza and nodded. The two charged at the snake, but his subordinates were still in the fight. Zabuza grabbed his sword up off the ground and slashed out. Kidomaru, the six armed kid, lost half of his arms in one go and Zabuza's damaged sword started growing again. The six armed boy screamed in pain and activated the cursed seal and pounced on the Mizukage, but was caught in a big cone with a radiant center. Kidomaru looked at his comrades with wide eyes before he was turned to dust. By the time the jutsu finished, which was faster than a second, Orochimaru was already gone with the sound five, now sound four, still there to fight the two kage left.
Zabuza held up the somewhat rebuilt kubikiribocho and narrowed his eyes at the sound shinobi. Oonoki sped through hand seals and formed a three dimensional cube with a radiant center. But the sound four ditched before they could do anymore damage. Zabuza dropped his sword and fell to his knees. Oonoki floated down and glared aimlessly at the sky. Zabuza gasped for air and started wondering if he really was Kage material. After getting experience first-hand on how they fight and he had to say, it wasn't a pleasant experience. He thought about what Naruto and Haku would do.
Oonoki was sitting against the wall as the sounds of battle came to a climax and the combat started getting less and less apparent. He couldn't believe that he and the Raikage fell for such a trick. Hundreds of their shinobi and innocent civilians were killed for nothing today. Oonoki was never one to feel sorry for anyone or anything since he always turned them into dust if he did, but this was something different. From his view at the top of the only section of the arena still standing, much to his surprise, he could see his lovable, yet annoying as hell, granddaughter fighting alongside the daughter of the Mizukage and the blonde haired girlfriend of the Son of the Yellow Flash.
He looked to other parts of the village and saw Earth, Sand, Mist, Cloud and Leaf hitai-ate fighting alongside each other against a common enemy and fought with the greatest synchronization with one another. He smirked to himself and actually contemplated the thought of a combined shinobi world. He smiled even brighter when he thought about who would have to bring it out. Even though that boy had no idea what was coming, Oonoki believed that he could push that boy in the right direction even if he couldn't do it himself. It was going to take some planning but he believed that he could do it. He looked over to the Mizukage to see him passed out completely and deep in sleep. Zabuza was snoring. The old geezer shook his head and laid his head against the wall behind him and shut his eyes.
Peace and serenity. But then Oonoki felt a deep need to stand up and move, so he did, but once he did, his back problems finally made itself known.
CRACK!
With Kurotsuchi, Haku and Ino…
The three girls met up with their kitsune guardians and were right now tearing through Oto shinobi like no tomorrow. Kurotsuchi just finished lodging her fist into a jounin's face and Seiko finished off with her crazy buzz saw like sword attacks. Once the jounin was finished off the Oto shinobi surrendered. All around them they started surrendering. But then the loud crack was heard, and it was followed shortly afterwards with a scream of pain.
Kurotsuchi started giggling up a storm when she heard it.
