Chapter Notation: This is intended to be a silly story, so the Battle Chapter will reflect that. This will be considerably less gory and more focused on humor than my usual Battle Chapters. We are also veering off cannon a bit as it pertains to the Uchiha Massacre for plot purposes. Happy reading!
Chapter 12
Obito watches in horror as Kakashi and Guy charge towards the Bad Guys. He couldn't believe it, Kakashi of all people was actually risking his life to save him! The silver haired man had always teased him in school and everything, but now he was willing to fight an entire village to save Obito?!
"What drag." Shikamaru sighs as he glances towards the battlefield. "We need to go and get help!"
Temari shakes her head and looks at her boyfriend as if he had lost his mind. That's right. Shikamaru was her boyfriend! Why? Cause she said so!
"By the time we got back to the Leaf and got someone here, the battle would be over." There was no point in even trying that method. "We have to help them!"
Ino shakes her head. "How are we supposed to help them?" The other blonde was brave, but she was crazy!
There was no way they could take on an entire village! It didn't matter what Kakashi Sensei said! The rest of the Sound was going to be alerted long before the two Leaf Ninjas could escape!
Karin pauses as she considers the situation. "We need to find the other teams." The odds didn't seem great, but if they worked together maybe they could do it. "We beat our Senseis earlier, maybe we can beat these guys."
"We need to stall for time." Kiba nods. "When we're bigger, we'll have a better chance." There had to be a reason why the Bad Guys wanted them to be kids again, right?
Obviously, they were really strong! You wouldn't go to all this trouble just to turn weaklings into kids. No. Someone was afraid of them. Really afraid!
"Let's get going then!" Obito orders Team Cool and they swiftly depart to find the other teams.
Meanwhile Kakashi's eyes narrow as he slams into Saiden. Unfortunately, he had hit a clone. As soon as his Chidori struck, it disappeared with a loud poof.
"Well let's see if this one is real!" Guy smirks as he slams his foot into Jira.
Jira goes flying several feet back. Yes, that one was real. That didn't change the fact that the leader hadn't been.
His eyes immediately dart around their surroundings. Searching for any sign of Saiden. The Byakugan would have come in handy right about now.
Suddenly a loud whistle blows and Kakashi looks. Saiden had hidden in a tree. And it didn't take a genius to realize what that whistle was designed to do. It was designed to summon the other Sound Villagers.
"Damn it!" He hisses under his breath.
Saiden just smirks. "You should have just walked away." Just as the sound of people running towards them could be heard.
He glances at Guy. "Are you up for this?" Guy nods in agreement. "I'm ready! The Power of Youth won't be defeated that easily!"
Unbeknownst to them, Team Cool had just run into Team Awesome. Who looked more than a little unsettled at what was happening.
"Man, are we relived to see you guys!" Naruto grins. "We thought you were goners! It looks like Kakashi and Bushy Brow Sensei are fighting those creeps!"
Kisame nods in agreement. "Yeah. What are we going to do about that by the way?" He tilts his head at Itachi. "I mean it's not really our fight. Is it?"
The middle Uchiha shakes his head. "It might not be your fight, but this is my village." He nods at that assessment. "And those two men are fighting to protect all of us. The least we can do is return the favor."
That got Suigetsu's attention. He grins happily. Alright! They were going to fight and kick some butt!
"So let's go kick their ugly butts!" He grins.
Hidan raises an eyebrow. "And how do you think we're gonna do that! Most of us don't even have weapons!" He gives the white haired boy an incredulous look.
Sasuke smirks. "We don't need normal weapons." He points his finger the red head. "We have something better. We have a Gaara."
Gaara blinks. They were happy about having him on their team? "Yeah!" He beams. "And Mr. Squishy!" And upon hearing that, all the members of Team Cool and Team Awesome face fault.
"Temari?" Shikamaru looks at his girlfriend for backup.
If anyone knew how to handle Gaara, it would definitely be her. After all, Gaara was her brother. She'd know how to motivate him.
Oh boy. Temari shakes her head and walks over to Gaara. "Those people who are fighting Kakashi Sensei and Bushy Brow Sensei are very bad." She nods somberly. "They want to take Mr. Squishy and your new friend away."
Gaara blinks. Suddenly the sand lashes around him rather angry. "They can't have Mr. Squishy or the Princess! And she'll Knockout Kiss Jutsu them if they come near her!"
"Um Gaara, I don't think that Jutsu works on adults." Sakura rubs the back of her head sheepishly.
"Let's go find the other teams and strategize." Itachi shakes his head. "Even with Gaara's sand, we're still at an enormous disadvantage." And with that, Itachi heads off.
Naruto fails wildly. "Hey, who put him in charge?!" He whines.
Sasuke swats him. "My brother has already graduated the Academy. He knows what he's doing." And with that, he drags his lovable, dumb blonde after him.
Yes, Naruto was his. He was also lovable in a very dumb way. Facts were facts. Sasuke was the only one who was allowed to beat the idiot up and he was going to make sure that the Sound Ninjas knew that!
"Damn it!" Kakashi hisses as he and Guy fight back to back.
More and more Sound Ninjas were coming. The only advantage they had was that there were so many of them, that they couldn't all fight them at once. That and his Sharingan combined with Guy's physical prowess.
"Well this is fun!" Guy flashes him a grin as he slams his foot into the air sending dozens of kunais back at their attackers.
The clones were all over the place. Unfortunately, they didn't last long. Still he had made about a dozen. That would even out the odds at least slightly.
They were still outnumbered by hundreds. "Any last words?!" Saiden laughs madly.
"Funny, I was about to ask you the same question!" Kakashi glares at Saiden.
He was currently out of reach, but Kakashi was determined to apprehend this bastard. This bastard who had turned some of the most fearsome ninjas in the world into children, completely ignoring the natural order of things.
"I like you're spirit, but this is one battle that you can't possibly win!" Saiden smirks.
Guy just grins. "Never underestimate the power of youth!" He smirks.
Mere moments later, the teams had all reunited and they were busy strategizing. Right now, they were getting down to the very serious business of choosing Team Captains for this mission!
"I'll be Team Awesome's Captain." Itachi nods. "My specialty is Genjutsu which doesn't work as well on this many opponents and my crows can be used offensively and to communicate quickly on the battlefield." There was some bickering, but eventually this was accepted. (Mostly because the other members of Team Awesome were ready for some "action" as Suigetsu put it).
Team Best was having a harder time deciding who should be Captain. They were all fairly evenly matched as far as their defensive and offensive abilities went, save for Deidara who just liked blowing stuff up.
"I can be Captain!" He grins. "Yeah!"
Konan lays down the law. "No, I'm being Captain. Everyone else can contribute better at the front. I can fly above and give orders easier with my wings!" She smiles.
"That's not fair!" Deidara whines.
Pain glares at him. "If you upset Konan, you will know pain!" His death glare only intensified and Deidara wisely issued no further protests.
Shikamaru yawns loudly. "What a drag, I'll be Captain. I'm the smartest one here and I have the least stamina, so it only makes sense." That drew many glares from everyone, but no one could argue with that second part.
"Alright. Don't you dare mess this up though!" Temari gives him a dirty look.
Neji shakes his head. "I'll be Team Captain. My Byakugan can see far and wide and I'm an excellent strategist."
Thankfully, no one on the Dream Team seemed particularly fussed about that. "Alright! It's decided!" Obito grins. "Let's draw up our plans and ATTACK!"
Saiden was watching as his Sound Villagers advanced on Guy and Kakashi. The Jonin's Sharingan was making things difficult and so were his clones. Not to mention, Guy was quite possibly the best Taijutsu User that he had ever seen.
"It's not use, you're all going to die!" He smirks.
Still, he was confident that victory would be achieved. That was until he heard a serious of explosions and everything changed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions were now occurring seemingly randomly on the battlefield, but with one catch. The explosive tags were only targeting the Sound Ninjas.
"We're gonna join the party!" Deidara laughs madly. "Yeah?!"
Suigetsu nods in agreement. "Water Bullets!" He fires off dozens of Water Bullets at the Sound Ninjas.
Saiden blinks as he watches the explosions go off and some of his men get injured while another child was shooting his men! Those brats might be kids, but apparently the bullets were still lethal and the explosions could sill do some damage!
"What the Hell is going on?!" He demands.
Kiba smirks as he directs Akamaru to attack some of the Bad Guys. "We're the Explosive Division and we're here to rescue our Senseis! Go get em, Boy!"
Kankuro nods in agreement. He had attached some of the explosive tags to his puppets. After awhile, the Captains had all agreed that a mix up in the line up was needed, if they were going to succeed and thus, the Divisions were born!
The Explosive Division was designed to charge into battle first. They were supposed to get the Bad Guys attention and work on creating openings for the other Divisions. So that was exactly what they were all going to do!
"I'm not sure that being part of the Stabbing Division is very youthful!" Lee frowns as he looks at the sword that Jugo had made him out of chakra.
Kisame rolls his eyes. "Kid, if you're going to be a ninja, you're gonna have to stab some people. Get over it." And with that, he charges head first into the fray with the sand sword that the little psycho had so thoughtfully made him! He could make this work!
"Good thing that we have Gaara who can create weapons out of Sand and Jugo who can make them out of Chakra." Obito nods as he too joins the fray.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Over and over the members of the Stabbing Division lived up to their name, blood was going everywhere.
"Don't feel bad, Lee." Jugo smiles at the other ninja. "You're just doing what is necessary to protect the ones you care about!"
Jugo was a nice guy, Lee thinks to himself. Well until someone stabbed him and then he transformed. Jugo was well… not so nice after that.
"YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! MUHAHAHA!" Gone was his kind friend, replaced by a bloodthirsty monster who was stabbing everything in sight!
Kakashi blinks. "Guy, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" He looks at his friend in shock.
Guy blinks and looks just as stunned. "I believe our students are attempting to come to our rescue!" He grins. "That is very youthful of them, eh Kakashi? Let's show them how it's done!"
Itachi smiles as he sends his crows off. "Peck out their eyes or any vulnerable spots on our enemies' bodies." He tells the crows.
He was a Captain and a member of the Sneaky Division. Anyone on this new team was going to attack in a way that was sneaky. After all, most people wouldn't find crows threatening at first, but their beaks could do some damage.
"AHHH MY EYES!" A Sound Ninja screams.
Zetsu smirks as he uses his plantlike form to hide and attack enemy ninjas. "I'll show them Flowerboy!" He slashes one of his opponent's throat with a kunai Gaara had made for him out of sand.
There was no way they were ever going to call him that stupid nickname after this battle was done! He would make sure of it!
Temari smirks as she charges out onto the battlefield and takes out her fan. "Hey, boys!" She smiles sweetly. "Wanna play?!"
"Cute kid." One tilts his head. "What the Hell is she doing on the battlefield though?" One of the Sound Ninja looks confused.
"Eh. I don't know." He shrugs. "Shoo, Girlie! You don't wanna get hurt!"
Temari twitches! How dare they not acknowledge her as a fellow ninja! Didn't these guys know who she was?!
"I'm not going anywhere, but you are!" She swings her mighty fan and blows them several feet back until they smash right into a tree.
Shino blinks. "Girls are scary sometimes." He shakes his head and looks at his insects. "Attack every Sound Ninja, you see!"
Bees, wasps, fire ants, locusts, fleas, ticks, butterflies, and ladybugs were just a few insects in his arsenal. People often underestimated insects, but they really shouldn't. There was a reason why they had been such a dominant life form on this planet for eons.
"AHHH GET THESE DAMN BEES AWAY FROM ME!" Shino thinks to himself with a smirk.
Konan looks at the Kamikaze Division. "Are you ready for this?" They were the Division that would be doing the bulk of the fighting. The others were using guerrilla warfare tactics to distract as many Sound Ninjas as possible, while they swooped in.
"I'm ready!" Pain smiles at her as he holds out the spear that Jugo had made for him.
Chaka and sand that could be used to form weapons was obviously a very useful tool, she thinks to herself.
"We've got this!" Tenten shows a scroll that she had encased hundreds of kuanis inside. "I'm going in!" And before anything could be said, the brunette rushed off towards the battlefield, jumping into the air and throwing her kuanis everywhere.
Sasuke blinks. "She's definitely living up to the Division's name." He shakes his head as he tastes out his sand sword. "You ready, Loser?"
Naruto fails. "Bastard, I was born ready and I bet that I'll beat up way more Bad Guys than you!"
Sasuke smirks at that response. "Just what I thought. Let's see, if you can back up that talk!" With that being said, the youngest Uchiha charges into the fray with Naruto following, not far behind.
Hinata gulps as she stands by Gaara. "Where are the most Bad Guys?" The red head looks at her.
She was part of the Support Division and Gaara was part of the Defense Division. She didn't entirely understand why he was in Defense, but he assured her that he had the "Ultimate Defense." (He seemed rather proud of it too)!
"About fifty yards out. Southeast of us." She whispers with her Byakugan on.
Gaara had given her a whip made out of sand to protect herself with. He nods at her and sends out a massive sand hand out to crush some of those Sound Ninjas. "Thank you." He smiles at her. "Don't worry, I won't let them get you or Mr. Squishy!"
Neji was also in the Support Division and thanks to his Byakugan, he was instructing Choji where to go. "Twenty yards to the left. Roll them over." He nods. "It's their destiny to lose to us!"
"Your left or my left?" Choji smiles.
The Hyuga boy sighs. "My left." Some clarification was apparently needed before the boy turned into a giant ball and rolled off to crush their enemies!
Ino, Sakura, and Karin had decided their best bet was to hide in the trees. They all had a bag made out of sand and rocks in them. So each girl was more than happy to throw rocks at their targets!
"That's some damn good support!" Hidan laughs as he charges into the battle.
He had only been put in the Support Division because no one was sure where to put him. Kamikaze, Stab, or Explosive. So they had decided to give the Support Division a bit more firepower and put him on it!
"This is unbelievable." Kakashi blinks as he witnesses the utter chaos.
Weapons made out of sand and chakra were flying everywhere. Children all under the age of ten were now fighting on par with adult Sound Ninjas! The grass was now stained red with blood!
It didn't end there though. There were also insects and a puppy flitting about, seemingly part of the battle. Not only that, Gaara's sand hand was squashing some people to death while Choji literally bowled others over.
Saiden fumes. "KILL THE CHILDREN!" It was regrettable, but he wouldn't lose now!
"Don't you touch them!" Kakashi hisses as he lunges at Saiden.
Saiden snuck a fast one in on him though. He manages to slam a kunai into Kakashi at the last minute. His fury was so great, that the CopyCat Ninja didn't see it coming.
"HEY! I'm the only one allowed to beat Kakashi up!" Obito hisses as he charges at Saiden and slams him into the ground from behind, stabbing him through the shoulder with a kunai, holding him in place.
"Obito?" Kakashi blinks in shock.
"What'd you expect?" Obito grins at him. "I'm part of the Stabbing Division! Pretty cool, huh?"
Guy blink as he watches in awe. "Yes, very cool!" He poses dramatically as he kicks some of his opponents. "That's the Power of Youth!"
"Sai, what's the fastest animal that you can draw?" Shikamaru looks at him.
They were both from the Defensive Division. It was time to do some defending. Him with his strategizing and Sai with his art.
"Falcons." He tilts his head in confusion. "Why do you ask?"
"I need you to draw as many falcons as quickly as you can and have them attack the bad guys!" The lazy genius orders him.
Thankfully, Sai didn't seem to have any issue doing just that. Soon enough at least a dozen falcons were swarming the battlefield and diving at Sound Ninjas.
It was complete and utter chaos, Shikamaru noted. Though he did his best to help with his Shadow Possession Jutsu, making some of Bad Guys knock themselves out!
Hours. It took hours, but eventually the children and Senseis managed to defeat the Sound Ninjas and for Kakashi to treat his injury. When it was all said and done, the CopyCat Ninja could only shake his head in disbelief.
"I can't believe they all fell asleep after all that." He sighs.
It was true. Each child was now fast asleep. Though they all looked rather pleased with themselves.
Guy chuckles and shakes his head as well. "Well the Power of Youth is incredible, but even that has its limits." And that was most certainly true.
"How bad are their injuries?" Kakashi sighs as he looks them over.
The Green Beast looks around slowly, checking the children. "Other than some cuts and bruises, it's rather amazing that they got off so lightly." Though it did disturb him to see that children had killed so many grown adults, he wasn't going to dwell on that.
The silver haired ninja nods. "Well I'm glad that's over with. We've got Saiden restrained, so we'll just interrogate him in the Leaf when we get back." Guy nods in agreement.
The CopyCat Ninja couldn't lie though. "I'm still not sure what we're going to do when they all turn back." He takes a deep breath and sighs. "What are we going to do when the Uchihas find out the truth?"
Unbeknownst to Kakashi and Guy, Obito was now listening in the entire conversation. So were his cousins. They pretended to be asleep though. It was easier to get more information that way!
"That the Council ordered it because the Uchihas were planning a Coup?" Guy winces. "I have no idea. How are we supposed to tell Obito and Sasuke that Itachi was forced to do it to prevent a civil war?"
Kakashi sighs heavily. "I don't know. That's what worries me most." He glances at the children. "That and the fact we have a bunch of criminal ninjas in our midst. We don't know if they'll get their memories back or not either." That was another problem.
Could they punish the Akatsuki for crimes they didn't even remember committing? That just seemed fundamentally wrong somehow.
"We'll figure it out, Kakashi." Guy smiles grimly. "We always do and it'll be good to get the Sand Siblings back to the Sand. Gaara is Kazekage, after all."
That much was true. It was a miracle that the Sand Village wasn't beating down their door. The sooner they could get the Sand Siblings back to their home, the better.
The Uchihas continued to feign sleep, but every one of them was now horrified by what they had learned. Their family was dead! Dead because Itachi had killed them and the Leaf had ordered it!
So traumatized were they, that none of them noticed they were getting bigger. Kakashi and Guy certain did though. Mercifully, everyone but the Uchihas remained asleep.
"We're going to need to restrain them." Kakashi sighs. "We can't risk them attacking."
One by one, they tied the children up. The Uchihas feigned being asleep, even now. They'd get more answer from these sneaky Senseis, if they cooperate. In the morning though, there would be Hell to pay!
