Chapter 10
Dead Uprising – Part 2
"A beautiful night?... A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT?!, MY PEOPLE IS UNDER ATTACK BY THE UNDEAD!, THERE IS NO BEAUTY ON THAT!", the blond girl shouted, angry at the words of her rescuer,
"That's very rude, you shouldn't have saved such an imprudent girl, my dear Naruto", Hinata replied disgusted at the rude girl, who sweat droped at the remark,
"At least speak your name, Midgardian, and why were you chased by the living dead", Lee asked, with a hardened look in his face,
"What is a Midagardian?", the girl asked, and just then, the rest of the team arrived.
"Ok kids, stop harassing the girl, and next time don't let us handle alone the bad guys, ok?", Anko playfully reprimand them,
"Yeah, we wanted to see you in action", Reiko added, mostly looking at Lee,
"Maybe they wanted to have another tent party adding this girl to the fun", Yamato teased, still angry for not sleeping at all, knowing that Naruto and Hinata shared the same tent for one week,
"Or maybe they are cowards", Matsukaze said, but regretted it when Lee turned to face him with an extremely unfriendly face,
"Next time you want to call them cowards, tell me, I don't want to be near you when they get bloody ballistic on you", Naraku whispered to Matsukaze, who was currently sweating bullets.
"Aside all of this, who are you and what is happening here?", Anko asked to the blonde girl, who quickly stud up,
"Sorry, my name is Seras, and I don't know exactly what is happening here, but many dead people have raised from their tombs, and started to attack the living ones, to make it worst, those who are attacked are becoming undead too, the few survivors are taking sanctuary at the church, where the Father Anderson is keeping them safe with his holy words, but he is getting tired, he won't last long, that's why decided to go for help... you are fighters, right?, the way you killed that undead, you can help us, you must help us!, we'll do whatever, I'll do whatever, just to save Father Anderson and the few survivors, please!", Seras pleaded, and while a somber face was shown on team 11, team 7 showed a disturbing grin.
"I see, so, to complete our mission, we must pass through a sea of undead creatures?, sounds fun!", Anko playfully said, earning the stare of Yamato,
"Anko!, our teams aren't ready for this!, we must go back to Konoha and get reinforcements, besides, this has become a B-rank mission!", Yamato shouted, it was his duty to be the voice of reason,
"Are you serious?, it took us one week to get here, and you want to abandon these people just because you, being a jounin, feel unable to handle this while babysitting your genins?", Anko teased, with a hint of seriousness in her voice,
"Anko, maybe the two of us alone will be able to do this job, but our genins haven't even completed a single D-rank mission, do you really expect them to survive this?", Yamato replied, in a last attempt to reasoning with the snake lady, who turned to face her genins.
"The choice is yours, shall we keep forward, and face the enemy in a bloody battle, just to complete our silly mission?, or shall we play safe, returning to Konoha, and ask someone else, more capable than you, to do this job?, under this blood full moon, answer me genins of Konoha", Anko said this with an over dramatic voice that sent chills to the spines of team 11, Yamato included,
'The pact of the Blood Moon?, I can't believe that the Hokage put them together for this!', Yamato thought, while Seras looked at them with a pleading face, as if screaming that they were the ones to save her people, and soon, the members of team 7 grinned like true bloodthirsty demons.
"Indeed, a night like this makes want to have a bite to drink, THE YOKAI KING WILL MAKE A BLOODBATH OF THIS NIGHT!", Naruto said, as if he truly wanted to feast in the blood of his enemies,
"My blade will bring pace to the dead, and hope to living, THE AURORA ANGEL WILL SHINE WITH THE LIGHT OF TRUTH!", Hinata shouted, with the conviction of a holy crusader,
"The pleas of this Midgardian girl have not fallen on deaf ears, THE GOD OF WAR WILL NOT BE STOPED!", Lee shouted with enough power to make team 11 back off,
"It is done, under this Blood Moon, The Konoha's Death Squad has born!, NOW FORWARD!, WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL EVERY ONE OF OUR ENEMIES IS DEAD!", Anko shouted as if she was possessed, while she, her team, and the blonde girl darted toward the town.
"Stupid Anko!, nice moment to going nuts!", Yamato shouted in frustration,
"What are we going to do sensei?, they will need support, besides, my teammates are lusting for battle", Naraku asked, while Reiko and Matsukaze sweat dropped, it wasn't a lie, but it was obvious that he was using that as an excuse to go into the battlefield,
"You are right, Naraku, they will need our help, but you must be very careful, this is no longer child's play, if you get injured, I'll have to kill you, understood?", Yamato said, with a deadly serious tone, but his genins didn't flinched, and soon they ran after team 7.
Front of Cheddar's Church, a few minutes latter...
The church of Cheddar was a big and beautiful building, built like a western temple of one of the almost forgotten faiths, it's front doors were made of hard and heavy wood, making them difficult to break, but under the pressure of hundreds of undead, it will be only a matter of minutes, and then, the entire town will be eradicated,
"Damn it!, there are so many!, how are we supossed to save the church from those monsters?", Yamato asked, he was expecting no more than a few dozens, Anko and Naraku were about to voice some advise, when...
"Ghouls, these are ghouls, the lowest ranked of the undead, even lower than a zombie, we don't have to destroy them all, just prevent them to enter the church until dawn", Naruto said, sharing the arcane knowledge that he learned from both his father and Kyuubi, and this earned a lot of stares,
"True!, no one has even been attacked under the sunlight!", Seras replied,
"That's because the sunlight will destroy them, but, how can you difference a zombi from a ghoul?", Anko asked, she knew something about these creatures, but how to tell them apart was beyond her knowledge,
"Because a ghoul will follow the orders of it's master, these monsters are attacking the doors of the church, a zombi wouldn't do that, also, there seems to be a holy barrier in these doors, and only a ghoul would be affected by it, of course, this also means that there is either a vampire nearby or a necromancer", Naruto explained, and Yamato paled at this.
"Ok Anko, it was fun until now, this has jumped directly into an A-rank mission, we are retreating now, before these things try to eat us, or their master appears", Yamato sated, almost like an order, but before Anko could argue, Hinata interjected,
"Too late for that, here they come!", at Hinata's shout, everyone jumped into a fighting stance, but the ghouls moved way too slow, making the wait very tiresome,
"TO THE WAR!!!", Lee suddenly shouted, and darted to intercept the undead, and was followed by Naruto and Hinata,
"HEY!, WAIT FOR ME!, I WANT TO HAVE FUN TOO!", Anko shouted, while following them,
"OH GREAT!, Naraku!, take the lead, and protect Seras, I'll go to save that bunch of weirdos!", Yamato said to his genins, who surrounded the blond girl,
"Seras, we'll protect you, so, don't try to attack on your own!", Naraku said to the girl, who made a nervous smile,
"Sure, don't worry about that, I don't even know how to use this old blade, haha", Seras stated, and team 11 sweat dropped, this was going to be a little more harder than they thought.
Yamato thought that he will barely arrive in time to save the reckless team 7, but as he watched their fight, he started to doubt that they were genins, or ninjas at all, Naruto just flashed his gun, and with a loud bang, Yamato watched how a line of at least six ghouls turned into ashes, Yamato even thought on getting one of those weapons of his own, loud, yes, but freaking effective, Hinata, for her part, just started to shine with multitude of colors, like her nickname, and with a speed never seen before, she slashed her way thru the undead army, then Yamato turned to see Lee, who was surrounded, by the undead, fighting with his bare hands,
"Lee, hold on, I'm going to help you!", Yamato shouted, just to hear Lee's warcry,
"VOLCANO STRIKE!!!", Lee shouted while connecting the most brutal uppercut ever seen, and upon contact, flames consumed the ghoul to ashes, and all the surrounding foes burned to a crisp too, in a sea of flames, just like a raging volcano.
"WHAT THE HELL?!, that wasn't a katon!, What the fuck was that?!", Yamato shouted in awe and fear, unable to digest the sight of the mother of all the fire jutsus, he was so awestruck, that he didn't noticed the ghoul that was getting closer from behind of him, until a kunai with an explosive tag flew past him, blowing up the undead foe,
"You should be more careful, Greenie", Anko said, returning Yamato back to reality,
"Thanks, I guess, what are you teaching them?, I've never seen jutsus like those!", Yamato asked, he wondered where they learned such freaking skills,
"That's none of your business, you should focus on your genins instead", Anko replied, and Yamato nodded,
'I gues they can take care of this themselves, I better check up my kids', Yamato thought, and then darted to aid his genins.
Team 11, while not as destructive as team 7, was faring very good on their own, Naraku was shooting arrows, while using on them his own version of the shadow weapon replication, making every one of his arrows to count for more than ten, and to add more power to his attack, each arrow carried an explosive tag, ensuring the annihilation of any ghoul they touched, Matsukaze showed total mastery of his zanbato, ensuring the decapitation of every foe in his range of attack, of course, every time he moved his blade, he shouted a powerful battle cry, trying to instill fear in his foes, Reiko was making a true show of mad swordplay skill, every swing, every stab, was rewarded with a shower of guts and ashes, it was her dance, her moment, just as her father taught her.
"KYYAAAAA!!!!",
team 11 turned at the source of the scream, somehow, Seras got herself surrounded by the undead, she was too sacred to even unsheathing the katana she had in her hands, she was about to abandon every hope until she heard a battle cry,
"RAIKOU GIRI!!!", in the blink of the eye, Reiko was already at her side, resheathing her katana, while every ghoul in an insane radius was falling into little pieces, showing only clean and perfect cuts,
"Are you ok?", Reiko asked, and Seras only nodded, looking at her as if she wasn't human.
After a few more minutes, the battle ended, they didn't have to wait for the sun, since team 7 did most of the killing, and still, team 11 showed signs of exhaustion, and now the entire group was about to knock on the church doors, ready to greet the surviving town people, when a voice stop them, forcing them to look back,
"How you dare?!, those you destroyed were the servants of Master Valentine!, and now, in his name, I will destroy you!",
the voice was owned by a ninja, he was dressed in a red suit with white web patterns, he was wearing a mask, and his hitai-ate was showing that he was from Iwa, however, the dark purplish tint in his skin, as well as the bright red eyes, pointed him as not human, both teams were about to take a fighting stance again, when the church doors suddenly opened with brutal force, and a swirl of paper sheets emanated from inside, and a voice full of authority boomed,
"YOU WILL NOT, BE GONE ABOMINATION, IN THE NAME OF THE ONE GOD, I EXILE YOU TO OBLIVION!!!", the priest shouted, and a ray of pure light struck the Iwa ninja, turning him into dust, the jounins and their genins turned to see the priest, a seven feet tall blonde man, who looked around his late 30's, he was wearing small glasses, and a little scar was in his cheek,
"Thank you, to all of you, for aiding us in our moment of distress... YOU!, IT... CAN'T BE...", the priest shouted, while pointing at Naruto, and then blacked out, falling to the floor with a loud thud,
"FATHER ANDERSON!", Searas screamed while running to the side of the priest.
"Well, at least the work is done, we can go home now", Yamato stated, relieved as he saw the sun rising in the horizon,
"No, is not over yet", Naruto suddenly stated, while a sadistic grin crawled not only in his face, but in the faces of his team too,
"What are you talking about?!, the vampire ninja is already dead!", Matsukaze shouted, begging that this genin were only crazy,
"Naruto is right, that Iwa ninja mentioned a 'Master Valentine', it means that this battle is going to get worst", Anko replied, showing that at least she paid attention to what happened,
"We'll need to eat well for the battle to come", Lee said, and before anyone could face fault or sweat drop, their stomaches growled in unison,
"I guess we have to make good use of the daylight", Hinata stated, not really worried,
"You are right, we have to make good tactic for this kind of foe", Naraku replied, already starting to devise a plan.
Meanwhile, in the Major's mansion, two men were sitting at the table with cups filled with blood, drinking as if it were wine,
"It seems that some powerful bastards have come to ruin our party, eh, brother?", one of the men, who had his face filled with piercings, said,
"Yes, you are quite right, but it will benefit us, if we can take the blood of these powerful pests, we'll achieve our goal much more faster", the other, a man with a long blonde hair and a white tuxedo, replied, and then, both bursted in laughter, while toasting for their insane dreams.
