Naruko just finished healing Lee for his battle against Temari. A battle which Temari was looking for redemption by all means she had lost the first match but her opponent was too lazy to continue the fight. But she was starting to lose confidence in the plan Kankuro was the only one of them who hadn't lost his fight because he never fought he surrendered before his match were as she and Gaara advanced but they were beaten by their opponents and what scared her the most was that Gaara's opponent seemed to be holding back.

Then her next opponent seemed to be very skilled in Taijutsu but that was it, but his speed would make him a challenge, she didn't know who was faster him or the little blond or Katsu the man Gaara had fought. She made her way down to the field to see Lee stretching she couldn't help but to be impressed with Konoha Shinobi thou they seemed not to have the killer instinct which could lead to their downfall.

"I will not forgive you for your unyouthful treatment of Tenten-Chan," Lee said as he faced Temari then she realized that he was the teammate of the girl she had fought during the preliminaries.

"Let's hope you are stronger than that weakling if you're not well…this won't last long," Temari said smirking.

"I will win this for Tenten-Chan," Lee said with a serious look on his face.

"Begin," Ebisu said Temari swung her fan but Lee avoided the attack with ease and she barely managed to block his attack she could hear her fan creaking under the force of his kick she jumped back to relieve the pressure from her fan. But he was right there taking her feet from under her and he kicked her fan from her hands. Then she realized he was too fast and she wouldn't be able to beat this guy. She never imaged Konoha Shinobi would be like this they were all near at or above Gaara's level.

Temari just stared up into the sky, unable to hear anything going on around her. She couldn't see how this plan to crush Konohagakure could work, the Genin here were something else and then there was the Yondaime Hokage a man with a flee on sight order, then Jiraiya his Sensei one of the three Sannin, "I surrender," she said softly she had been so confident in her skills but here she had lost two fights in a row. She looked over to see Lee standing over her his hand outstretched she took it.

The next battle featured, Shino and Neji. This was Shino's fist chance at a battle. Neither of them said anything before the battle began. Neji knew this wouldn't be easy with those bugs of his. As the battle started Shino's bugs closed in on Neji. He knew that his best chance was to draw Shino into close range hand to hand combat.

Tokuma watched the match for a moment before exiting the stadium to find his way blocked by Hiashi, "why did you allow Neji to advance?"

"For any of them to face Katsu or myself isn't really fair we should have taken part in the Chunnin exam a long time ago considering…" he said his eyes falling on one of the ABNU, the Charka coming from him was familiar but it wasn't any ANBU member he had seen before it was Kabuto. He was going to act yet but he would keep an eye on him

"You both are ANBU," Hiashi finished, Tokuma just smiled softly, "What are you planning on doing now?"

"I think I will retire from ANBU and train Hinata-Sama."

"Why waste your time on someone like her?"

"Because everyone has given up on her and in turn she has given up on herself, but I intend to change all of that and make her worthy of be the heiress to the Hyuga clan," he said walking pass.

"Where are you going?" Hiashi asked coolly.

"I am getting ready for war," he answered vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

Back at the battle Neji had just deflected the oncoming attack by Shino's insects and with the opening Neji struck Shino fell back. The match was over. Naruko sat waiting for her turn to come, and when it did, she and Gaara made their way down to the battle grounds. But before the fight could start there was a load explosion outside of Konoha's gates.

"We are under attack," Katsu said Minato got to his feet as Jiraiya appeared beside him along with Tsunade.

"The game is up Orochimaru," Katsu said turning to the Kazekage.

"It seems I have been caught, and even I am not foolish enough to face a Kage and two Sannin alone," the Kazekage said getting to his feet revealing his face, "but it is a good thing that I am not alone."

'Kuchiyose: Edo Tensie,' Orochimaru placed his hand on the ground and three coffins started to come out of the ground.

"You dare use that Jutsu," Minato said frowning and a ball of energy formed in his hand and in a blink of an eye his Rasengan in Orochimaru's chest and the Sannin. Orochimaru quickly leapt to his feet but Minato was right there, 'Keiyaku Fuin.' There was nothing he could do he was going to lose control of his Edo Tensie and he was force to un-summon them so he wouldn't have two more Kages to deal with.

Naruko he looked towards her father which had been a mistake, Gaara took this opportunity to attack. His sand rushing towards the blond who was standing there unaware of the pending attack, "Naruko…!" Sasuke shouted she turned just in time to see the oncoming sand but she was consumed by it and Sasuke jumped down but when the sand cleared Naruko was there with her hand on the ground and around her looked like shattered pieces of wood.

She stood up watching Gaara and the mad glint in his eyes, a blue orb formed in her hand and she charged Gaara with amazing speed his sand was unable to touch her the only choice he had was to incase himself in sand. A ball of sand formed around him just as her Jutsu hit and a large hole appeared where her Jutsu hit but she was force to jump back as a spike shot out of the ball.

While all this was going on Kabuto was face to face with Tokuma, "give up you can't beat me," he said activating his Byakugan.

"We will see," Kabuto said his hand started glowing a faint green. The two men stood measuring each other neither wanting to rush into this fight, "I have always wanted to see how strong your Byakugan truly is."

Tokuma turned and struck an Oto-Shinobi in the chest and dodged Kabuto's causing Kabuto to strike the Oto-Shinobi instead. Tokuma blocked his other hand as it came swinging around and he jumped back as Kabuto aimed a kick at him.

"Your skills are impressive I must admit," Kabuto said smirking healing his hand.

"It seems I was right in thinking you are no ordinary Shinobi," Tokuma replied his eyes fixed on the Miss-Nin.

Back with Orochimaru, Minato and the Sannin, "you two go and see where else you are needed, we will deal with our teammate," Jiraiya said coolly.

"Very well…I will leave this too you, Sensei," Minato said pulling out a dozen Kunai and threw them all in different directions taking out all most of the enemy Shinobi in the stadium. Then his attention turned to his daughter who was studying the ball of sand before her.

'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu,' four clones appeared and they all formed a Rasengan and charged in from four different directions while she stood back and watched. The combination of the four Rasengan was able to break through his defenses and one even managed to hit Gaara but sand spikes shout up from the ground impaling all four clones.

"Blood…this is…this is my Blood!" Gaara said all sense of humanity seemed to have left him. The sand started to form around his body but this time it was different, the sand was taking form of a demon, 'Futon: Daitoppa,' and Gaara was caught in a heavy wind storm. Gaara stumbled back but it was enough to create an opening and her fist collided with the side of his face knocking him off his feet.

Gaara didn't stay down long, and as he got to his feet more sand continued to cover his body causing Naruko to frown for a moment as she said pulling out a couple kunai.

"This is a tribute to my greatest admirer," she said smiling. She charged in and threw a bunch of kunai. Gaara lifted his arms to block the oncoming kunai but when he lowered his arms she was gone, "Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu Ogi: Sennen Goroshi!"

She plunged a kunai at the base of his tail and quickly retreated and the tags on the kunai all exploded at once and the sand started falling from his body but he seemed unharmed. She was starting to run out of ideas, nothing she seemed to have any real affect on him. The sand took everything she could deal out. She had the speed but not the power to get through his defense.

"I am not going to lose to the likes of you!" he shouted as he rapidly grew into a giant sand raccoon. And Gaara emerged from the top of the demons head. Naruko started in for another attack but she couldn't move her feet were trapped in his sand. A look of horror came over her as she looked up at the creature standing before her and the sand slowly crept up her body.

She knew that she didn't have much Charka left, but she couldn't give up or she would die here and that was something that she wasn't going to allow. She gathered all the charka she could and released it at once breaking free of the sand and she formed the largest Rasengan she had ever created and slammed it into the demon before her. It stumbled back slightly but it still stood unharmed and she fell to her knees drained of all her chakra.

'Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu,' and Gaara slumped over fast asleep, "I am finally out and there are so many I wish to kill!" Shukaku shouted with glee.

'You are pathetic…you would have died a thousand times over if not for me…but lucky for you my distain of for that recede creature before is greater than it is for you…so I will save you one more time," the Kyubi whispered within her mind. She didn't even have the strength to prevent the Kyubi from acting releasing its chakra within her. Her eyes became blood red and her pupils became slits, her whisker marks thickened and became more defined.

She got to her feet a smirk appeared across her lips revealing elongated canines and with a burst of speed she attacked appearing before the sleeping red head and with great force punched him dislodging him from Shukaku causing him to turn to sand. Gaara hit the ground with a crash and when he bounced off the ground he was grabbed by the throat and slammed into the wall of the stadium. Gaara opened his eyes looking into the blood red eyes of the blond he was fighting and in that moment he realized something, something that he never thought he was ever going to face. His death, this girl was going to kill him and there was nothing he could do to stop her. He noticed a blue sphere appear in her free hand and she trusted it forward. He closed his eyes and he waited for it all to end, there was a loud explosion her grip loosened from around his neck. He looked to see her eyes were no longer red but blue.

"I did it," she said with a smile as she fell back his sand caught her he had just enough chakra to finish her off but he did. Rather, he couldn't, something inside him wouldn't allow him to.

"It seems that she couldn't kill you…but I can," he looked up to see the Uchiha walking towards him his Chidori activated, but before he could reach Gaara Temari and Kankuro stepped between Gaara and the last Uchiha.

"Sasuke-Chan that is enough," he turned to see Katsu and Inugami his canine partner standing there. Sasuke really didn't like this guy but his Chidori vanished and he contented himself with sending nasty glares in their directions. Takuma appeared at his side soon after that, he looked a little worse for wear but he was still standing.

"It appears the last of the enemy forces are being pushed back, we have won," Takuma said.

Sorry I have been away for so long things have been busy and i will try my best to have another chapter up in the next few days
