All attention on the battlefield was drawn to the battle between Naruto and Sasuke, leaf and sound ninja stood side by side watching in complete awe.
The two ninja clashed once again, sparks cascading down between them as the ninjatos met with terrifying force.
"Don't think that our old bond will save you this time Naruto." Sasuke said as he stored his blade gracefully, firing through a series of well practiced hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique." Sasuke yelled as he launched a colossal fire dragon at Naruto.
Naruto smiled crazily as the dragon neared him, he ran wind charkra down the blade, and waited for the right time to strike.
Sasuke smirked as he saw the dragon heading towards it's target, and with the vastness of his attack it would be difficult for the blond to avoid it.
Naruto simply stood there not even attempting to avoid the dragon until it was merely half a meter away from toasting him alive.
Naruto leaped backwards while thrusting his sword at the direction of the looming dragon.
A highly pressurised blade of wind charkra shot from Naruto's sword carving it's way through the dragon, dissipating the flames as it went, the wind blade didn't stop after the destruction of Sasuke's attack it carried on to the source itself, Sasuke.
Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw the deadly wind blade speeding towards him, he turned out of it's path, but still took a few cuts and scratches to his back as it passed.
Sasuke hissed in pain, he stared at Naruto, I underestimated him, Sasuke thought to himself as he activated his Sharingan and the first level of his curse seal.
"Already, I haven't even started to use the foxes charkra yet. And what happened to not having to use the curse seal on me?" Naruto goaded as he stored his ninjato and retrieved his two kodachis.
"no matter how much you have changed you are still the annoying loser you always were, you will never have the power to take me down, even with your tenant's charkra." Sasuke replied, his ignorance as present as ever.
"We will see now won't we." Naruto said as if talking to a child.
Naruto leaped towards Sasuke, kodachi raised to intercept his ninjato that was once again drawn to continue the fight.

Right wall, Konaha.
Konohamaru stood with his old team talking, he was showing off his new Jounin vest to his old team mates.
"So how powerful are you now?" Udon asked exitedly.
"Fumito said I was high jounin level, even though I'm not aware how strong a high Jounin is, I bet I'm strong." Konohamaru said with a huge grin that would have put the old Naruto to shame.
Ebisu just ignored Konoharmaru's constant braging, still sure to himself that his old student would never be able to best him.
"GET YOUR SELFS READY, THERE IS AN ATTACK FORCE HEADING THIS WAY, IT LOOKS FUMITO WAS RIGHT!" Kakashi said, he was a bit suprised when Tsunade had asked him to comand this section of the army, but she asured him he would do fine concidering how he fought during the last great shinobi war against Iwa.
The former team Ebisu stopped talking randomly upon hearing this information and became more serious.
Udon and Moegi, now in chunnin uniform, pulled kunai from the masses of pockets on their new jackets.
"Well one thing is for certain." Ebisu said to his team, "We have the element of suprise, not having a single ninja in the village under the rank of chunnin." Even Ebisu had to admit that Fumito had done pretty well geting the village ready for the assault, it would be somthing that the sound ninja wouldnt be expecting.
The first wave of sound ninja broke the way through the side gate, pouring their way through, and obviously not expecting so much oposition taking into acount the suprised looks on their faces.
Konohamaru withdrew the long ebony staff that was latched in place across his back, winging it round and an inconpresensible speed, and launched himself forward making a poor sound shinobi's head concave with a deadly wing of the charkra strenghened staff, the blow made an audible crack, blood poured out of every crevis on the man's head, pooling at his feet before the ninja crashed down, dead.
Both Konohamaru and his old team mate were suprised at how brutaly and eficently he just killed the fist man to cross his path.
Ebisu was also pleasently suprised at how Konohamaru was taking his first kill, obviously Fumito had prepared him well for this moment.
Konohamaru looked up from is first kill and looked around for the closest enemy that would become his second.

Naruto was having the time of his life, Sasuke was a most formidable opponent, his speed quadrupled after activating his sharingan and the first level of the curse seal that resided on the back of his neck.
Naruto jumped back away from Sasuke, reaching into the Kyuubi's charkra. Are you ready to heal me Kyuubi, Naruto asked his 30 foot tennent.
Why what do you plan to do? Kyuubi asked aprehensivly.
You'll see, Naruto replyed as he gritted his teeth and stored away one kodachi, and went through a series of hand seals simular to that of the shadow clone jutsu.
Oh no not that, were the hell did you learn that anyway? Kyuubi asked quesioningly.
When you used it on me I memorised the last hand seal, the rest of seals are the same as that of the shadow clone jutsu, Naruto replied, swinging his unsheathed kodachi upon his left arm removing it just below his elow.
Sasuke yelped in suprise and stopped his attack on Naruto.
Naruto grimised in pain as his arm began to regrow, due to the regeneritive powers of the Kyuubi's charkra.
Sasuke was paying all his attention to his "best friend" thinking that somthing must have really shattered his psychee for him to remove his own arm, sasuke didn't spot the suposedly useless arm lying on the floor when it began to regrow a body, as Naruto's body regrew an arm.
Sasuke spoted the arm's regeneration as it was almost completed, "W-what the hells that!" Sasuke exclaimed as he unconsiously took a step back from the second Naruto that grew from the original standing infront of him.
"It's a flesh clone, it is basicaly a shadow clone but placed in a real body grown fron the body of the user, it can take as much damage as the user and doesn't dispel, it dies like the original would." Naruto said, happy to see the horified look upon Sasuke's face.
"But that means if i don't kill it, it will just carry on living until someone does!" Sasuke said, thinking that only Orochimaru could own such a horific jutsu.
"That is if i decide to allow it to live, it's life force is completly under my control, just like a normal shadow clone's is, so if I decide to dispel it, it would die imediatly."
Well thats just great now I have to fight two of them! Sasuke complained inwardly, activating the second level of his curse seal, turning into his bat like form, this was only the second time he has ever used in battle, and it was kind of ironic really that both times he was fighting the "dead last" of the rookie nine.
Naruto smile as he dragged out three tails of the demonic charkra, all billowing out behind him.
Sasuke took flight, trying to gain an airial advantage and away from Naruto's freaky clone, but to his dismay naruto pressent two of his demonic tails of charkra in tothe ground, puting his weight on them lifting himself of the ground, to see Sasuke once again eye to eye.
Naruto's flesh clone drew out his kodachis that formed as he did, naruto looked down at it and smirked, which made Sasuke a little nervous.
Naruto wrapped his remaining drawn tail and wrapped it around his flesh clone's waist, which made Sasuke wince as he heard the Kyuubi's charkra burn the skin on contact.
Naruto lifted his clone and lanched it at the flying Sasuke, Sasuke tryed to move out of range of the propelled clone, but it was moving too fast.
Sasuke swung as hard as as fast as he could to the right, the clone swung his kodachis in both directions from the center in an x motion, so it didn't matter which side Sasuke lunged towards, the right kodachi sliced down and across Sasuke's left eye, which erupted with blood, making Saske lose his concentration in keeping in the air, and crashed roughly in to the ground, his body returning to it's original form.
Naruto wached with a sick gleem as his flesh clone hit the wall suport, breaking it and bringing down a section of the wall on top of the clone and a new wave of sound ninja bringing assitance to their thinning forces already fighting.
Sasuke was whimpering over the loss of his left eye, but he knew that it would not matter anyway because he knew that he had lost the fight the moment the curse seal was broken, taking a large amount of his charkra with it.
Naruto stood over his former team mate, and watched as he tryed to crawl away helplessly.
"If you are going to kill me then do it, don't just stand there!" Sasuke demanded.
"I am not going to kill you Sasuke, I have a more fitting fate to bestow to you." Naruto said extremly coldly, Sasuke would have happily accepted death than find out and live through what this monster that was once his friend had in store for him.
Naruto stomped on the arm that was covering his heavily damaged eye, snaping it like a dry brittle twig, and quickly did the same to the other.
All Sasuke could do was lie there he could no longer move his badly broken arms to defend himself from whatever Naruto was going to do to him.
Naruto drove his knee into Sasuke's chest pinning him in position as he drew a kunai from the side poket of his pants, he brought the kunai up to Sasuke's face opening the clenched eye lit of his non-damaged eye, he saw and felt as the blade cut though the tender tissue of his eye ball spraying crimson liquid all over Naruto's face and in his mouth, Naruto now loved that taste, the taste of blood.
Naruto even carved out the second damaged eye so there was no chance of of him regaining any of the sharingan powers, he ran the Kyuubi's charkra into one of his hands, presing it against the furiously bleeding holes in his face buring the fresh wounds shut to stop the bleeding.
Naruto didn't keep Sasuke alive because he still had delusinal ideas of reforming the bonds that they once had, he knew Konoha's need for the clans, he would get serious recongition for securing the sharigan, even if it was no longer present within sasuke, his offspring will carry the bloodline limit, Danzo expesualy would love to get his hands on Sasuke the way he is now, he could create an army of root members with the sharingan eye.
Naruto sholdered Sasuke's quivering form, Naruto created a couple of hundred shadow clones to hold back the sound ninja that were pouring through while he was gone.
Naruto lept off towards the hospital where he could find Tsunade he was going to deliver this one personaly.
8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8
Konaha hospital
Tsunade was rushed of her feet bothe her aprentices were with her franticly trying to heal a seriously wounded ninja that was missing a large proposion of his face and held a body full of serious burns brought on probably by a fire jutsu at close range.
Naruto entered the hospital ward with a huge grin upon his face, his prize slung across his sholder.
The ninja that Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura were trying to save died on them as Naruto entered, Tsunade swore loudy as she closed what remained of the mans eye lids.
"Oh there you are Tsunade, Sakura!" Naruto called out walking towards them.
"I've got a present for you." Naruto said dumping the blind and unconsious Sasuke at her feet.
"Sasuke Uchiha!" she gasped as she checked his pulse to see if he was still alive, noticing also that he was lacking his eyes.
"Was it really nessisery to cut out his eyes!" She asked the grinning blond.
"Yes, it was the only thing I could do to ensure that he wouldn't be seeked out by Orochimaru again. And I thought that it was possible to emplant other eyes into people, like Kakashi with his sharingan eye, you could use that as a barganing chip against him, allow him to regain his eye sight if he helps Konoha rebuilt the Uchiha clan, and you know how much the council like the sharingan." Naruto said very politicaly, Tsunade had got to admit that the boy had some very good points.
"So how the battle faring?" Tsunade asked.
"Very well, but all I have encountered so far are low chunnin high gennin, the main wall has gain structual damage, my fault sorry fight with Sasuke got a little destuctive, I'm not sure how the other commanders are fairing."
"Thats good news, is there any sightings of Orochimaru himself?" Tsunade asked, her blood boiling like it always does when his name is mentioned.
"No not yet but with the way the battle is going he will have to make a personal apearance to try and turn the tides." Naruto informed.
"Get Jiraiya, and inform him that Orochimaru may make an apearance very soon!" Tsunade ordered a newly healed chunnin that was preparing to once again enter the battle field.
"Do you want my help in fighting Orochimaru?" Naruto asked, as he was now officialy a member of the sannin.
"I don't know how much help you could be in the fight, Jiraiya will be summoning Gamabunta, so with out a summon you will be pretty much useless in the fight." Tsunade said, wondering why the blond was smiling like he knew somthing she didn't.
"I now own a contract with the foxes, thanks to my own personal demon. And even though I can't summon the clan head, because he is currently trapped in my stomach, the second in power is still powerfull enough to fight equaly Gamabunta." Naruto said cluing Tsunade in on his new contract.
"So then, all things considered, this next battle is going to be a very interesting one!" Tsunade said less enthusiasticaly than she may have done in her prime.
