I will be adding more characters from the manga, but I won't write every fight for each ninja. The only fight I will be writing is Sakura's. Hope you understand.
Chapter 11: Reinforcement
The whole Konoha team was standing in a battle posture. They all kept their eyes open and sensing to detect any movement from the reanimations. Previously to the members of Team Konoha (the last chapter), they mainly stared at their former family members and friends with sad but stoic eyes. The chuunins stood protectively closer together, and Ryosuke hid behind his older siblings feeling a bit scared.
The four previous Konohagakures greatly feared with the situation they were seeing. The former Konoha ninja edos felt their bodies possessing movement to perform ninjutsu. They really don't want to hurt their children, mostly not their grandchildren. In contrast, Suna and Mist ninjas didn't seem to matter whether they were controlled or not; they appeared that they want to fight.
To the Sound Four:
The Sound Four wasn't allowed to attack yet, but they smirked with satisfying because they all enjoyed toying around with their opponents like dolls and killing them brutally. They liked to manipulate them with taunted words, similar when they were sent by Orochimaru to take Sasuke with them. They saw Sasuke, unsurprised to see him as a Leaf ninja again, which they expected. Sakon sensed no chakra of the Curse Mark in Sasuke, but he was somewhat stunned that he was able to remove out of him.
Next, they spotted Itachi, who he remembered seeing him in the Akatsuki and the target for Sasuke's revenge, saw him as a Leaf ninja with a Konoha forehead. They believed that he has reconciled with Sasuke and became brothers again.
Last, he turned to the pink-haired kunoichi between the Uchiha brothers. They remembered her as Sasuke's teammate and amused to see her married to Sasuke. They felt something different about her, sensing a strange power in her. They became curious about her, and he first saw her as a weakling and now see her different.
It is her I want! They all heard Kabuto sent transmission to their minds, and they didn't react but listened. She is the chosen who must have the Curse Mark and transform to the Second Level.
They were confused that Kabuto wants the pink-hair girl, not Sasuke. What do you want with her? Is it Sasuke you and Orochimaru-sama wanted?
Kabuto explained She has a rare power in her, and I haven't mentioned that she was the one who killed Madara twenty years ago. The Sound Four were fascinated and Sakon smirked slyly, growing interested with Sakura.
Sakon's face darkened with a wide smirk, Sodesuka, what an interesting female. He scoffed Very well, we will handle on capturing her. He found his new task amusing that he has a new experiment to perform.
Kidomaru smirked with a hidden excitement, licking her upper lips. Hmph, this will be a piece of cake. He happened to notice the closeness Sasuke was with Sakura. It seems to me that she is the little Uchiha's woman, how lovely.
A new experiment, but this time for a female Tayuya scoffed for considering Sakura as a showoff for a shinobi. She was sort of feeling jealous for sensing her chakra stronger than her own.
Stay in your places, until I give the signal to go in Kabuto was determined to not miss the chance of capturing Sakura. With the Sound Four's professions, they
Jirobo stood firmly and with a stern face Understood, we'll wait. He mostly stared at Sakura, wondering about her power and wanting to know how she defeated the unstoppable Madara Uchiha.
(~~~~~~)
Team Konoha noticed some of the reanimations moved their arms and took cautious. They all watched them performing signs in quick mode.
"Ugh! I can't stop myself!" Hanzo tried to fight control of his body. "Sakura!" He didn't have the strength to regain his body, and Sakura narrowed waiting for the combined attack. Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Destruction! He blew big size fire dragon which Sakura found it strange because she never knew that her father could do fire jutsu.
Fugaku shook while creating fire jutsu. However, he blew fire jutsu Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu! Mikoto watched him, but she couldn't move to stop him. She watched the fire going at her sons.
No! Suki tried to keep her mouth shut, so she wouldn't fire to hurt her daughter and her family. However, her efforts failed her. Violent Whirlwind! She blew wind from her mouth, and the wind went straight at Sakura and the Uchiha brothers. It also assisted some fire jutsu to increase its speculation, going at her.
The Third Hokage created Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb! The flames manipulated into a genuine-looking dragon and launched in all three directions—at left and right side, and frontal assault.
Asuma-sensei had his chakra blades in hand, and he threw them up to perform handsigns. Fire Style: Burning Ash! He first blew a stream of chakra infused gunpowder from his mouth, spreading widely and flying like a smokescreen. It was mostly going at Asuma-sensei's former students. Afterwards, he flinted his teeth creating a fire spark and igniting the smoke into a violent explosion.
The Second Hokage had the strongest spirit to fight for his will of his body. He was resisting from finishing the last handsign, yet his hands kept moving and finished it. Water Style: Water Bomb Jutsu! He kneaded chakra in his stomach and expelled a large quantity of water in the form of a powerful torrent.
"Naru—!"Minato fought to prevent doing Spiralling Flash super Round Dance Howl Style Three! He failed and threw six of his Flying Thunder God Kunai at different targets. Two went at his son and wife; second pair went to the Uchihas; and the third pair went at Sai and Ino.
The Third Raikage poured a considerable amount of lightning chakra into the finger-tips of his right hand. He thrusted his arm forward, allowing the lightning go like a chidori- and tokkan- style. Hell Stab! The lightning went straightforward to pierce.
Rasa did handsigns and bend touching the ground, Gold Dust Waterfall Flow. A considerable quantity of Gold Dust erupted from beneath the surface and manipulated into a wave of tidal proportions.
Pakura used Scorch Style: Super Steam Kill! She created three flaming orbs that resemble small suns. They rotated around her, and she pushed them straight out.
Explosion Style: Landmine Fist! Gari made a fist and hit on the ground in front, creating a shockwave of upturned earth and debris. Leaf ninjas heard cracking beneath them and felt their place off-balanced.
Kimimaro felt his body moved itself, but he didn't show any resistance. Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets! He swung his arms sideways, throwing ten finger bones at Jugo and other ninjas.
"No!" Zabuza cried out with trouble. He honestly didn't want to attack anyone, but the strong restrain of his body startled him. Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu! He blew a large amount of water, and it turned into a giant dragon. It flew high, staring at the chuunins, and dived down fast.
Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death! Haku raised some water up high from Zabuza's jutsu, gathering and surrounding environment into one thousand long needles. He then floated them all in target, pointing at the chuunins, and dived at high speed.
Hair Needle Senbon! Fuguki's hair hardened and lifted up, pointing out at targets. Multiple hair strands fired out behind and frontal of Team Konoha.
Magnet Release: Conserving Bee Twin Blades! Toroi swung his long length rope of distinctive square-shaped shurikens and threw some in different directions. They were filled with chakra of magnet.
Explosive Blade Jutsu: Mutliple Explosions of Death! Jinpachi unraveled a large length of explosive tag roll and sent it toward the Hozukis and other ninjas beside. The roll spread long in front and engulfed in wide-spread explosion.
Ameyuri struck her Kiba swords in to the ground and sent out an electrical charge toward the sky, turning into lightning. Lightning Style: Thunder Gate! Huge lightning fell and decimated around the immediate area.
Bashosen: Coil of Fire! Kinkaku waved his fan, unleashing enormous trail of flames, and torrent all around Team Konoha.
Last, Torune activated rinkaichu, turning his skin into purple, put his hands together. He formed a small poisonous smokescreen sphere between his hands. Poison Cloud Jutsu! He blew the smokescreen when it grows bigger, and it went around the team.
(~~~~~~)
Team Konoha watched the great combined power attack coming fast, and they lifted an arm to cover their front. The chuunins stepped back in fear of its great power. When the knives were coming at them, they held together tightly.
BOOM! Everyone heard the blast, but they weren't hit for not feeling any hurt or burn on their self. They lowered their arms when the big fire was about to hit them, and then they slowly opened to see. What they first found, the air clouded with smoke but it was fading fairly quickly. Some coughed from breathing it and some waved their arm to clear it from their faces.
After the smoke cleared, Team Konoha found flying bugs around in place. Also they saw shiny silver along with the bugs. In addition, all the reanimations were pushed meters away from them.
"Daijoubu?" they heard someone asked.
Naruto (deactivate his Chakra Mode) recognized the jutsu and looked behind, "Shino!" There he found him, Shino stood with his left arm up which was why the bugs were around them. Shino has greatly changed over the years; his outfit was very different from before. He was wearing a flak jacket, with two bug-like emblems on the neck, and a full-body suit underneath. He exchanged his generic sunglasses to a three-strip optic visor which was wrapped around his head. In addition, he is a teacher of the Academy school (after Iruka-sensei retired).
"Yatta! We made it in time to save you, Naruto-oniichan!" Konohamaru cheered. He saved Naruto and Hinata, along with his two friends, Moegi and Ubon.
"Konohamaru!" Naruto was pleased to see his former student.
Konohamaru: grandson of Hiruzen; nephew of Asuma; former member of Team Ebisu; short spiky brown hair; black eyes; pale green jacket; black pants; long blue scarf; forehead protector; shuriken holster on right leg; and sandals
Ubon: former member of Team Ebisu; short brown hair, in a pompadour-like haircut; rectangular glasses; black top; black pants; and sandals
Moegi: former member of Team Ebisu; two large down orange pigtails, with bangs; sleeveless pink shirt, with a red ribbon on neck; brown pants, underneath skirt; black bracelet on left wrist; small ring earrings; and black boots
More reinforcements came with him and saved the others. They then found new reinforcements—Konohagakure jounins and anbus. Including other ninjas from Sunagakure; Kumogakure; Iwagakure; and Kirigakure. Furthermore, there were samurais from the Land of Iron.
"Neji! Daijōbudesuka?" Hiashi asked while looking at his twin brother Hizashi… He had other members of the Hyuga clan with him. Two other members went beside Hinata, seeing her if she was alright.
"Hai!" Neji replied. He was relieved that he was saved and so was Tenten. He held her when the blast was about to hit them.
Next, Sakura found Rock Lee and Gai-sensei in front of her. "Lee-san! Gai-sensei!" Her friends had come just in the nick of time to save them. She noticed the silver was from Gai-sensei, using Daytime Tiger.
"Yosh! We made it!" Rock Lee cheered. "I am still faster and stronger than ever!" Sakura was relieved for saving them with such speed. Rock Lee has distinctly changed after twenty years; he grew taller and muscular, and his outfit remained the same but sleeves were ripped off and added an orange neckwarmer.
Gai-sensei laughed, "Haha! I may not be as young as I once was, but the power of youth keeps me feeling young!" Everyone could see that Gai-sensei was still Gai-sensei; he has never changed. "I was not willing to stay behind and let Kakashi have the fight all to himself." Kakashi-sensei sighed hopelessly that Gai was still competitive with him. Yamato gave a small laugh from amusement.
Furthermore, she spotted the Leaf's two Village Gate Guards, Izumo and Kotetsu, both besides with Lee and Gai-sensei. They both have elongated, kunai-like blades. Izumo called, "Daijōbudesuka, Sakura-senpai?"
Kotetsu next asked, "You not hurt, Rokudaime (Sixth)-sama?"
"No, arigato" Sakura and Naruto replied. Likewise, Izumo and Kotetsu were gratefully devoted to Sakura and Naruto. When Sakura and Naruto saved Konoha from the Akatsuki, they both treat them as their senior and willing to protect them from any harm.
(~~~~~~)
"Daijoubu, Tsunade-sama?" Kurotsuchi asked. She had her sword with her, and beside her was her companion, Akatsuchi.
Kurotsuchi: Fourth Tsuchikage of Iwagakure; granddaughter of Onoki; short, black hair; pupil-less black eyes; red dress, long sleeve on left side and sleeveless on right side; red nail polish; and sandals
Akatsuchi: Iwagakure shinobi; bodyguard of Kurotsuchi; large, tall height; dark eyes; black hair, in ponytail; large cheeks; plump nose; beard; brown kimono; brown pants; yellow scarf; and sandals
Tsunade-sama smirked, "You sure took all your time coming here." She spotted the two former kages, Mei and A, who saved both her and Shizune. Except for Onoki, he passed away a few years ago so he gave the Tsuchikage title to his granddaughter. Anyway, Tsunade-sama was the one who called them earlier for assistance before she arrived.
A sighed with boredom, "I am not as young as I once was, but I have been keeping my strength." He cracked his knuckles, ready to hit something. His fist was itching to throw his thunder punches.
Mei sighed hopelessly, "My life was unhappy without having a man of my very own." She didn't pretty much changed over the years; she developed minor wrinkled near the corners of her lips and her hair was noticeably short at the middle of her back.
"Otosan!" a young female chuunin called out for her father. She came along with her mother.
"I can't believe I was spending most of my time in the village, while my husband is out fighting!" a woman said. "Choji! Do you have anything to say, dear?" Choji chuckled shyly while scratching the back of his head Gomen, Karui. Choji married Karui and they have a daughter, Chocho.
Karui: Kumogakure kunoichi; former member of Team Samui; wife of Choji; mother of Chocho; dark-skinned; long red back combed hair; amber eyes; long sleeveless dark dress; white girdle, covering stomach; yellow dangling earrings; and sandals
Chocho: Konohagakure chuunin; daughter of Choji and Karui; brown hair, in two spiky ponytails and bang covering left eye; white kimono, underneath a net T-shirt; black arm warmers; black long boots; grey stud earrings; and sandals
"WHEE!" everybody heard the familiar crying phrase. They all looked behind and found a gigantic tentacle wrapped around like a ball, which was where the chuunins were, Killerbee saved them. The tentacle had several senbons and kunais strapped on, along with burn marks from lightning jutsu. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ouch, those burns really hurt bad! It was worth it to save the little young children!"
Naruto cried laughing, "Ahahaha! Bee-san, it's been so long since we last seen each other!"
The tentacle unwrapped from the chunnins, and Killerbee popped out while the tentacle went in his back. His hair had grown longer. He was wearing a long, dark, sleeveless vest, which left his abdomen exposed, with baggy white pants held up by a cord and sandals. His appearance has changed in twenty years, but his rapping personality hasn't a bit.
"My life had been nothing but dully boring! Killerbee had been a lonely big boy stuck in an island by a waterfall!" he sang his story rap. "I should have come visiting more often, instead of chit-chatting with Hachibi every day!"
"That is funny!" Naruto commented honestly, but he understood that Killerbee had been alone since life turned peacefully normal. A groaned with embarrassment as the others sighed with sweatdrop. "We would definitely need some more help from some friends!"
"Anything to assist the two legendary Leaf heroes!" Killerbee confided. "Anyway, I didn't come alone with my brother! I have brought my old students!"
"Yo!" Darui called out. He was standing in front of the Gold and Silver Brothers. Another thing, he is the Fifth Raikage. He had his bodyguard and two other Iwagakure ninjas with him. They all have their swords with them. "You look like you could need a hand here, Hokage?"
Darui: Fifth Raikage of Kumogaakure; fairly tall; dark-skinned; slightly bulbous nose; black eyes; shaggy, white hair, side bang covering left eye; small moustache; visible creases, on corner of mouth; black, sleeveless uniform, with hood; one-strap-over-one-shoulder, white Kumogakure flak jacket; black, loose-fitting pants; bandages on wrists; 'water' kanji tattoo, on right arm; 'lightning' kanji tattoo, on left arm; sandals; and Cleaver Sword
Omoi: Kumogakure shinobi; Darui's bodyguard; dark-skinned; short, spiky, white hair; dark eyes; dark grey, overlong shirt, with hood; red-bandaged hand guards; red shin guards; small Kumogakure flak jacket; sandals; and ninjato sword
Samui: Kumogakure kunoichi; former teammate of Omoi and Karui; sister of Atsui; fair-skinned; blue eyes; asymmetrical bob style, short straight, blonde hair; very low-cut outfit, mesh armour underneath; sizeable cleavage; short skirt; red hand guards; girdle-style Kumogakure flak jacket; high boots; and tanto
Atsui: Kumogakure shinobi; brother of Samui; asymmetrical bowl cut style, neck-length, dark blond hair; green eyes; sleeveless Kumogakure uniform; Kumogakure flak jacket; bandages on forearms; shin guards; 'heat' kanji tattoo, on left shoulder; sandals; and ninjato sword
Omoi complimented, "You all seriously were looking afraid there." Naruto sweat-dropped and chuckled shyly, too embarrassed to admit his downside.
"You also were looking a little hot under the collar just a moment ago," Atsui shrugged in boredom. He sighed, "I've got a million hot-shot catchphrases, but which one do I use to say for the lovely Sakura-san?" He gave a short laugh and glanced at Sakura, who tensed in shock and furiously flared in disgust.
Sasuke and Itachi turned their sharingan into Mangekyou Sharingan in rage; the Uchiha children also hardened for hearing another man hitting on their mother. Team Konoha sighed irritately and bothered of men's obsessive desires for Sakura. Hanzo and Suki were stunned for seeing the sight of men had developed attraction toward their daughter, but they were obstructed that men would steal her away from Sasuke.
Samui developed a pop vein on her forehead and banged a fist on her brother's head, "Don't ever be disgraceful at Sakura-senpai like that again!" Atsui winced from the hard hit and dropped down like a little scaredy-cat. Samui harshly huffed, "Gomenasai, Sakura-senpai."
Sakura sighed in annoyance, "Arigato, Samui-san." She appreciated Samui for always defending her and protecting her relationship and marriage. Back when she attended an A-rank mission in Kumogakure (before sasusaku married), men come up to her and Samui would 'take care' of them. During the same event, Samui would also hit her brother for his 'hot' approaches.
(~~~~~~)
"No!" everyone heard a boy's cry. Shina tensed for knowing who it was. The boy came in front of Killerbee. "I came in last place! I ran too slow to save my beloved Shina!"
It was Rock Lee's son, Jai Lee. Nearly the same name as Gai, Lee named him after his most trusted teacher. He greatly resembles like his father and has the same determined personality as his father and Gai-sensei. He also has a strong infatuation for Shina; during the chuunin exam, he confessed his love to her, but she turned him down. Although, he pledged that he will train harder to become a strong ninja for her. Furthermore, he is the teammate of the Hyuga siblings; Lee is their team leader as 'Team Lee'. Hikari graduated the Academy at the age of ten (same time as Hizashi) for having jounin-like skills and high scores.
Sakura and Sasuke grinned hilariously for seeing the same event they had with Lee when they were genin. Itachi sweat dropped from the puerile chuunin and his giddy infatuation for his niece. They Hyuga siblings sighed annoyingly for their teammate's personality. However, Daisuke glared at Jai for not wanting Jai to get any closer to his sister. So does Ryosuke, he finds him very peculiar.
Haru angrily snapped, "Oi! Stop acting tough at Shina, you bushy brow!" He was jealous toward Jai for trying to impress Shina; they both are rivals for her love (Haru calls Jai the same nickname that Naruto always called Lee). Shina sighed with sweat dropped embarrassingly.
Then, Kai hit Haru hard on the head, "Shut up, baka!" Haru growled irritatingly at him while rubbing his head. Honestly, Kai was also jealous with Jai's crush on Shina. Whenever Jai is closer with her, he would get angry but doesn't attack him to keep him away from her. He doesn't want to show his feelings because he thought it would humiliate him. He preferred to keep his feelings concealed and act as a normal friendly teammate with her.
(~~~~~~)
"With new troops, we won't have any problem of worrying about causality this time." Naruto grinned and crossed a pair of two fingers, "I'll send out some shadow clones for assistance." He sent out two clones at the back (with Jugo and Shino) and another to the left (with Gaara).
"Heh!" Sakura laughed, "You're always so considerate for other's well-being, Naruto." She also created shadow clones, sending two double to the left (with Tsunade and Gaara) and right (with Suigetsu). "You're strong to fight against ninjutsu, but you will need a taijutsu expert with natural senses."
Naruto smirked, "You're pretty feisty when it comes to fighting swords, Sakura-chan." He commented about her personality and fighting habits with swords, and she shrugged and returned back to her edo parents.
"Heh!" Sakura gave a short laugh and returned serious. "Should we take the chance, Rokudaime-sama?"
For the first time, Naruto heard his best friend addressing him as 'Rokudaime-sama' than his name. However, he knew that she always respect the hokage and would wait to hear his words before taking action. He however took it as a respect of leadership.
"Even though, it hurts, Sakura-chan," Naruto returned his Chakra Mode. So, all comrades prepared in battle stance. "Sealers, stay cover with the children!" he told them to stay in backup because he will do sealing jutsu. They all followed his word and went in the middle of the chuunins, for they must be protected from all cause in order to seal the reanimations. The chuunins will defend them and detect any approach.
Kakashi-sensei informed, "I'm going to help out on the left side, taking care of someone personal." Without waiting anyone's consent, he immediately jumped to the left side and stared at the Mist Swordsmen. Sasusaku and Naruto figured that Kakashi-sensei wanted to face Zabuza and Haku for the events of their first mission at the Land of Waves.
Gai-sensei volunteered, "I'm coming with you, Kakashi!" Kakashi-sensei sighed without complaining; therefore, he knew that his friend was still challenging him for their abilities.
"So are we, to the right," Izumo informed. He and Kotetsu went to the right, facing Asuma, with Team Asuma. They both were present on the day when Team Asuma first fought Kakuzu and Asuma died.
"Neji! Keep behind me!" Hiashi told him and Neji looked at him concernedly. "Remember the secret technique I had taught you." Neji widened, so he listened and stayed behind. Tenten also followed him, and Hizashi and Hikari were curious about the secret technique their granduncle mentioned.
Sai followed and gave his wife a short kiss for good luck, leaving her with her teammates. He separated from her, so he would fight against his brother. Two brothers, two former Root anbus must fight each other to the death; this time we will fight from where they left off.
A (former Fourth Raikage) charged his whole body with electricity, and Gaara flew his sand around him. They both never removed their eyes from their fathers.
(~~~~~~)
"Minna!" Naruto called out in high-pitched voice. "Don't let yourselves down!"
"I never let that happen to me!" Rock Lee cheered and leaped to the back, possibly giving Shino a secondhand. After Naruto's courage words, some team members waited for the edos to attack.
Similarly, the reanimations stayed in place. Rock Lee leaped at an edo with speed and fists on, itching for a fight. For high spirit, Jai cried for him to get them and show them what he has.
Naruto and Hinata stayed side by side at Minato and Kushina. They both don't want to fight them, yet they understood that they were under Kabuto's control. Naruto narrowed his eyes Okaasan…otosan…gomen!
Tsunade-sama didn't move to attack her grandfather and granduncle, but she held a stern face. Therefore, she kept her eyes locked more at her lover. Alongside, Shizune had her emotions preventing her from attacking her uncle with a hesitated face.
On the other hand, Sakura ran straight at her parents with feeling of pity and regret. In comparison, Sasuke and Itachi followed and had shameful face, while they were upset with the fact of fighting one of their parents. Although, they must fight them the same way Sakura fought her grandparents.
As they got close, their swords CLASH!
