Even though the situation was chaos it was quiet as with the genjutsu the civilians and extremely low skilled ninja were out cold
The villages other genin fled the area with haste, the Sand genin took Gaara away from the stadium, Kimimaro went to the medical bay to presumably get his teammate Kurotsuchi, while Chojuro and Karui went to their respective jonin sensei's
Naruto and the other leaf genin went to go look for their jonin sensei's, and no one seemed to be available, Asuma and Kurenai were fighting back to back against a dozen of sand ninja, Guy sensei was handling his own ten sand ninja and Kakashi-sensei just got challenged by Baki of the sand village after he killed a leaf chunin
"What do we do?" asked Hinata to anyone willing to answer
"We can't just sit here" Tenten said
It was 12 genin gathered together as higher level ninja were fighting around them, right now they were a big target, Sasuke looked agitated as Gaara left before the battle was finished, Shikamaru had a calculated look on his face, Neji was looking around making sure they wouldn't be attacked, Ino was looking towards Naruto for guidance
"Ino link all of us up!" Shikamaru said to Ino
"Right!" she said as she did the Mind transmission jutsu
'Weird' Sakura thought to the group
"Alright Kiba is your chakra back to normal?" Naruto asked Kiba as he lost to Kimimaro by running low on chakra
"Yeah I'm ready to fight anytime!" Kiba said with Akamaru barking in agreement
"Then Sasuke you take Kiba Shino and Tenten to go after Gaara and his siblings, obviously, the sand is attacking us and they are fleeing for a reason stop whatever they plan on doing" Naruto said to Sasuke with the other three listening
"Good with me, let's go!" Sasuke said as him and Kiba ran off
"Shino and Tenten look at this as your rematch, show them how strong the leaf is" Naruto said as Tenten lost to Temari in the preliminaries and Shino tied with Kankuro
"It will be our pleasure" Tenten said as Shino nodded, they then followed Sasuke and Kiba
"They seem to be avoiding the civilians in the stadium" Sakura commented
"But that doesn't mean the ones outside the stadium are not being attacked" Ino said
"Alright Ino-Shika-Cho I need you three to help in the village" Naruto said to the three, "Sakura with your medical training you can help the injured and Hinata you need to be able to watch their blind spots so you two join those three and help civilians make it to the bunkers"
"Sounds good! Let's head out!" Ino said as the five left
"Neji, Lee you two haven't fought so us three are going to help wherever we can" Naruto said to the older genin
"Do you think these assignments are best" Neji questioned, not in doubt but in curiosity
"Frankly it's too late I made commands and I have to live with the consequences" Naruto replied
"Very well" Neji said with his Byakugan fully activated
"Where should we head to first?" Lee asked
"The academy" Neji said as he sees ninja headed in that direction
Naruto Lee and Neji see three sound ninja heading inside the academy with two sound ninja standing guard
"Alright Lee you take care of two outside as me and Neji sneak in" Naruto said
"Alright!"
Neji and Naruto went into the sound ninja's blind spot and landed on the roof to make their way into the academy. Lee however wasn't so stealthy
"You two sound ninja! Fight me!" Lee said as the two-sound ninja were confused by the genin "Very well I will make the first move!"
Meanwhile Neji and Naruto were making their game plan
"There's four rooms and three sound ninja" Naruto said
"I see that the first-year room is empty so every other room has a sound ninja" Neji said with his Byakugan active
"Alright you go towards the first and fourth year rooms I'll go to the third and second" Naruto said as they split off
Neji disabled his fourth-year opponent easily as the genin teacher was keeping him preoccupied allowing the teacher to lead his and the first-year class away to safety
Naruto went to the third-year room first and similarly saw the teacher battling the sound ninja, and in a swift motion he launched a rasengan into the female sound ninja's back
Naruto then looked into the second-year room, and this was the room where he had the most attachments in, Ama his little sister, Iruka his favorite academy teacher, Hanabi is his best friend Hinata's little sister, and Konohamaru is kinda like his protégé
The sound ninja in there was intimidating Iruka who was more concerned about protecting the kids. Iruka is strong but he isn't a heavy combat ninja as he was more of a supplementary role with his sealing and sensing jutsu
Naruto wanting to look cool in front of sister decided to make himself look like a hero, so he busted through the class door surprising everyone as they could only see a silhouette
"Sound ninja let these innocent kids go your battle is with me!" Naruto said in a completely different voice trying to sound older
"Naruto?" Iruka said confused by his old student's actions
"Well sound ninja doesn't sound good being called by the enemy call me Saiko" the sound ninja revealed to be named Saiko said
"Big bro this crazy ninja just came in here and started telling us what to do!" Ama said from her seat
"Well that's not very nice is it" Naruto said
"Enough! You're going down!" Saiko said as he charged Naruto
Naruto saw the slow speed and did a front flip over Saiko, Saiko saw this and tried a backwards kick but Naruto twisted and grabbed his leg and threw him towards the other wall. Saiko now annoyed started trying to engage Naruto in taijutsu, but Naruto was dodging the punches like a boxer or like his sensei Asuma
"Why can't I hit you!?" Saiko yelled as his annoyance is skyrocketing
"Well my name is Naruto Namikaze the son of the yellow flash so I would be surprised if you could even touch bottom of my sandal" Naruto said
"Well if I can't touch you I can surely touch them" Saiko said as he threw shuriken at the academy students at their seats "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
The shuriken multiplied scaring the students, but Naruto in a blur of orange and black had caught all the shuriken as he took off his jacket and put them all in his jacket as if it was pouch, he landed with all the shuriken in front of Hanabi
"I can handle myself Naruto" Hanabi said as she was the readiest to block the shuriken
Naruto laid the shuriken down on the desk in front of him "Of course you are I had no doubt in my mind you couldn't block this but some guys need to be taught a lesson" Naruto said as he rubbed Hanabi's head not seeing her blush
"You better leave before it's too late" Naruto said as he threw a kunai in the air falling towards Saiko
"Or what?" Saiko said
The kunai was falling right in front of Saiko and not even in a blink of an eye Naruto appeared in front of him "Or I might have to kill you! So, run and don't bother anyone from the leaf again!"
And the fastest Naruto has ever seen anyone run from him Saiko was gone busting through the class window and running away
"Everyone okay?!" Naruto asked the class everyone said yes with them talking to each other of how cool Naruto was
"You could have done that a lot faster" Neji said at the doorway as Naruto just shrugged to Neji's amusement "Let's get everyone out!"
With Sasuke's group
They were closing in on the sand siblings
"Alright, Shino you and Tenten will separate Temari and Kankuro from Gaara" Sasuke said
"Right" Shino said
"Kiba you will back me up if I need it" Sasuke said to Kiba
"Me and Akamaru are ready anytime" Kiba said with Akamaru barking in agreement
"Alright let's go!" Sasuke said as Shino and Tenten sped up to engage Temari and Shino making Gaara stop "You ready to continue?"
Later with Shikamaru's group
They had helped a few shop owners and few strays get back to the bunkers but right now they were battling some sound chunin
Hinata knocked one chunin down with a palm bottom while Sakura was healing a cut on Choji as Shikamaru possessed the other four chunin
"Ino can you use the mind destruction" Shikamaru asked
"Not with the transmission still up it's too dangerous" Ino said
"Alright Sakura and Choji knock them down" Shikamaru said
Sakura and Choji with their enhanced strength managed to knock the other four chunin out but there was something wrong
'We need back up, Gaara's gone berserk' Sasuke thought which reached the minds of the other 11
'What's going on?' Ino asked
'Gaara transformed into this strange sand raccoon thing, I already used my last chidori and Kiba and Akamaru can't seem to get a damaging blow in' Sasuke thought to the group
'What about Shino and Tenten?' Neji thought
'Shino is fighting Kankuro and Tenten is fighting Temari away from us, I haven't heard from them so…' Sasuke thought
'What should we do Naruto?' Lee asked as right now Naruto is defacto leader
'Um me Hinata and Sakura will help you out while Neji and Lee rejoin Shikamaru's group' Naruto said 'Hinata and Sakura meet me at the stadium, Shikamaru you and Neji meet at the academy'
'Alright'
