I own nothing…dang it.
Chapter 20: Dark War part 1 of 2
Samael and his army slowly made their way towards the village of Konoha. While he and his army marched a pair of Konoha Jonin were watching.
"We have to get back to the village," one whispered, "We need to warn to village."
The other one nodded before the pair rose up and started running.
Samael's dark eyes turned in the direction of the two retreating ninja. He would have sent a soldier or two after them, but decided against it. He would allow the horsemen, humans, and angels to know he was near. It would make his upcoming victory all the sweeter.
A few minutes later…
Tsunade sighed in relief. She was almost finished with the last of her paperwork. It was a good thing to because she was starting to hallucinate that the paperwork was actually starting to mock her while she was filling it out.
She finished the last piece of paper she leaned back in her chair and sighed. As she popped the cork off a bottle of sake a pair jonin burst into the room startling her and making her crush the bottle in her hand.
The woman looked own at the destroyed bottle before she let out a low growl and glared at the pair before saying through gritted teeth, "This had better be good."
The left Jonin said, "We spotted that great demon and his army marching towards Konoha a few miles past the border."
The busty kage's mood changed from angry to serious in a matter of seconds.
"How far?" the woman asked.
The second Jonin answered, "About two hours away coming from the east."
The kage ground her teeth in frustration. She hten made a motion with her hand and yelled, "ANBU!"
Almost immediately a group of masked ninja appeared.
"There is an army of enemies approaching the village from the east. Send word to all the able bodied ninja and get them to the main square in thirty minutes. Then get all civilians to the shelter.. And tell Kakashi if he is so much as one second late I will castrate him with a rusty spoon, and then burn all of Icha Icha in front of him."
The ninja nodded and vanished in bursts of speed.
Tsuande then summoned a slug.
"Yes mistress," the slug asked.
"I need you to send a few of your messengers out to Kumo, Iwa, Kiri, Taki, and Suna. We will need all the bodies we can throw at this."
Less than thirty minutes later…
All the jonin, chuunin, clan heads, and ANBU stood in the square. The horsemen stood at the back waiting for the reason that they were called.
"WE have an unprecedented danger ahead of us," Tsuande announced, "An army of demons is coming this way headed by a monster by the name of Samael."
The horsemen heard this and clenched their fists at the memory of the evil monster that they had fought all those centuries ago.
Tsunade continued, "We will be facing powerful enemies today. Ancient demons that the world hasn't seen in centuries. I don't have to tell you that most of us may not make it out of this alive. We have to fight to protect our village. We have faced madmen and creatures before and we've come out on top. Are we about to let a bunch of walking sideshow freaks take us down?"
The leaf ninja responded, "No!"
Tsuande asked, "To the last squad, to the last man, to the last kunai! We will fight!"
The crowd cheered as they hoisted their weapons. Then they left to go prepare for the upcoming war.
War turned to Naruto and said, "She is a very persuasive woman."
Death nodded and said, "I wonder if she is a descendant of Uriel."
War glared slightly at his older brother for bringing up the woman who had caused them a lot of trouble in the past. He would have smacked his brother upside the head if it wasn't for the fact that he might lose his other arm.
Meanwhile the villages got their messages from the slugs and were mobilizing their forces. They even got out their own personal "weapons" as they called them to aid in the upcoming battle.
After gathering what forces they could the messenger slugs called on some much larger slugs to transport them. Despite their reputation for being incredibly slow they slither at an incredibly fast pace and made it to Konoha within an hour.
As the kages stood ready with them were surprising guests…the Jinchuuriki….all the remaining eight.
With the Tsuchikage were Han and Roshi, the five and four tailed Jinchuuriki respectively.
With the Raikage were Yugito and Kirabi the two tailed and eight tailed Jinchuuriki.
With the Takikage was Fu the seven tailed Jinchuuriki.
With the Mizukage were Yagura and Utakata the three tailed or six tailed Jinchuuriki.
Finally there was the new Kazekage Gaara the one tailed Jinchuuriki.
Naruto faced the Jinchuuriki and said, "So these are the other Jinchuuriki. For some reason I thought that this would be more interesting."
Roshi grinned and said, "OH really. I wasn't really thinking that I would have to deal with some Yondaime wanna be."
Roshi continued to smirk until he felt somebody glaring at him. He turned around to see that actual Yondaime standing there. The red head and Han looked shocked and backed away.
"Remind me not to get on the little man's bad side," Han whispered to Roshi gaining a nod from the bearded man.
"Okay," Naruto said, "I suggest you guys start steeling your nerves because we are going to have one monster of a fight on your hands in about a half an hour."
Kirabi stepped up and said, "You little man. You got some plan? Cause I aint going to wind up dead. Especially when-"
Yugito walked up and slapped the man over the head before growling, "Stop it with the rhyming thing already!"
Naruto raised an eyebrow and said, "He talks in rhyme?"
Yugito sighed and said, "Unfortunately."
Naruto rolled his eyes and said, "Man that must get annoying."
Yugito answered, "It does."
At that moment the Tsuchikage said, "The kid has a point. Now get ready you little runts. I want to get this done and over with before my back starts acting up again."
Han and Roshi rolled their eyes behind their leader's back.
"How is he a kage exactly?" Fu whispered to Roshi.
"I'd guess he won out due to seniority or popular vote," Roshi whispered back.
The rest of the villagers from Konoha and everywhere else got ready.
Within twenty minutes their enemies stood before them.
A massive army of demons and monster varying in size. From ones the size of a full grown man to the size to one's that would be able to crush an ox in their hands. In the middle of it all sat Samael on a throne made completely of bones.
The Shinobi got their weapons ready as did the demons.
With the Shinobi Death asked, "Do you feel it brothers and sister? Something has changed."
Strife nodded and said, "Yes. I can feel it. He's a little weaker. Some power hungry human must have gotten lucky."
Fury nodded and said, "It may give us a chance."
War brought out Chaoseater and said, "If not…we will go down in a blaze of glory."
Samael rose up from the his throne and said, "Humans, Angels, Horsemen. I suggest that you surrender now…your deaths will be swift and painless. Fight and you will die slowly."
Tsuande cracked her knuckles and said, "What do you think horn head?"
Samael glared at the woman for the insult. He smirked and said, "You have a fire in your woman. Perhaps I will spare you…I will be needing a queen when I rule this earth…KILL THEM ALL!"
The demon's charged while their enemies did the same. The creatures met and the sound of blades hitting flesh and the sound of falling blood could be heard. Cries of pain could be heard as well.
The horsemen went straight for Samael making him rise from his throne and fly off to a different part of the battle field.
"To think this is how we would meet again horsemen," the betrayer of heaven said.
The horsemen hefted their weapons as War said, "I had a feeling that we would end up doing battle again Samael. This time though…we will kill you."
Samael flexed his claws before the former enforcers of the Charred council charged at him.
Back in the fight …
Naruto was using angel's hand to slice down one demon after another. One tried sneaking up on him from behind just in time to take a gold katana from Kushina.
"Get your ugly hands off my boy jerk," she yelled.
The sound of explosions rang through the air as the kages unleashed their power on their enemeis. Demons were burned alive by lava and boiled alive by the Mizukage. Others were pounded into the dust by the Tsuchikage's powers. Gaara was making good use of his sand by crushing demon after demon into oblivion with his sand. The Raikage was making short work of his opponents with his incredible strength and lightning powers. Tsunade was pretty much doing the same thing minus the lightning powers.
Yugito was launcign hell fire from her mouth to barbecue her enemies. She was also making good use of the Nibi's chakra.
Yagura was using his water powers to keep his opponents at bay and lightning abilities to fry them. He was also making good use of his hook staff and demon chakra when he could.
Roshi was basically melting the demons alive with his Yoton and the chakra from the Yonbi.
Han was actually suing special steam jutsu to actually steam his enemies alive. To be quite honest it was actually effective.
Utaka was actually quite the fighter. He was able to use multiple water jutsu to his advantage to crush, pierce and utterly annihilate his enemies. Most of the demon's underestimated his bubble jutsu, but that wound up coming to bite them in the butt when they exploded with the force of a pair of exploding tags.
Fu was keeping above her enemies with her flying ability not to mention the use of a specifici and powerful acid that she was able to expel from her mouth. Right now she was figting a bunch of giatn bats, but the fight was going her way.
Kirabi was utilizing strength like the Raikage. He managed to blind his enemy with a blast of ink before firing a huge blast of lightning. He even used the chakra to destroy a few of them in one blast.
As the kages were fighting demons and humans were being killed left and right. As the fight waged on there were piles of bodies. Mostly human bodies because when the demons were destroyed they were turned to dust. Humans however just fell to the ground. Despite the demons having the advantage in strength the human's made up for that with incredible speed and the highly destructive jutsu.
On the other side of the fight Minato was using some very effective light jutsu to vaporize some of the demons. Kushina was firing water, lighting, and light jutsu left and right. Hashiama was using light and wood jutsu to crush his opponents. Tobirama was making was using his hardened water jutsu to tear through one target after another.
"Okay this is really starting to get on my nerves," Onoki, the Tsuchikage said, "How many soldiers are in this freak shows army?"Mei, the Mizukage, answered, "I don't know and I don't really care."
Naruto cut down another demon with Angel's Hand and growled, "Okay this has gone on long enough! Hey you guys! Time execution order number 3!"
The other angels nodded before they jumped back and went through a great amount of hand signs.
Minato: "Light Style: Solar Blast!"
Kushina: "Light/Lightning Release: Holy Storm!"
Tobirama: "Light/Water Style: Holy Water Flood!"
Hashirama: "Light/Wood Style: Wrath of Eden!"
Naruto: "Light Style: Flash Cannon!"
Minato fired a stream of light from his hands. Kushina fired bolts of pure gold lightning from her hands. Tobirama formed holy water from the air around him and sent a huge flood of it outward. Hashirama formed massive glowing roots before sending them towards his target. Naruto fired balls of energy large balls of light from his hands.
The resulting explosions tore demons apart or turned them to dust. After a seconds of this most of the demons were dead. Smoking parts fell to the ground before they slowly dissolved into ash and dust.
Naruto panted slightly and rolled his shoulder in an attempt to loosen up his arms.
"Okay I have to admit that was pretty awesome," Fu said from her position with a look of complete shock on her face.
"Now I really don't want to be the one to piss these guys off," Roshi said, "I don't' want to be on the receiving end of one of those light jutsu."
At that moment there was a huge explosion from the distance. Everyone looked in the direction. A huge column of fire burst up from the ground. A figure flew up from the background and landed in front off them.
"Samael," Naruto growled seeing the monster.
It was quite obvious that the horsemen had lost. However Samael looked like he had better days. His left eye was gone leaving a dark red socket. His right horn was cracked, he was bleeding from the left side, had multiple bullet wounds, and had a flurry of cuts and gashes all over his body.
The monster glared at the humans and angels before him and growled, "The Horsemen have failed you. Your so-called ace in the hole hasn't helped you at all. Now it is time to reveal my ace in the hole."
The large demon slammed his fist into the ground forming a large crack. There was a loud rumbling. Out of the crack rose four monstrous creatures. They were a huge four legged bat, a large insect like creature, a giant worm with massive teeth, and a giant spider.
"Tiamat, Griever, Styggian, Silitha," Samael gloated, "The four chosen of the destroyer. They will be your destruction."
Naruto smirked and said, "Hey big man. Did you really think that we would reveal our hand this early in the game? If you do then your age has finally gotten to you."
Samael glared angrily at the boy.
"If you want to talk about an ace in the hole…might as well show you ours."
Naruto flashed his hand showing an intricate seal on it. He then blurred through a great deal of hand signs. The seal on his hand flashed read before he slammed it on the ground.
"Ancient Revival Sealing Art: Revival of The Nine!"
The seal on his hand spread throughout the immediate vicinity. A small glow came over the normal people giving them a light blue glow. With the angels it gave them a golden glow. Naruto had gold, purple and black around him. Suddenly the glow turned red. A brown glow came across Gaara, purple around Yugito, sea green around Yagura, darker red around Roshi, white around Han, light green around Utakata, really light blue around Fu, and a electric color around Kirabi.
The Jinchuuriki then started to groan before writhing in pain. The nin groaned slightly as the chakra was ripped away and started to take shape. After a few minutes they stopped. There was a glow of chakra after a few minutes the glow was gone. When it faded there were nine figures.
The first was female by the obvious shape of her body. She wore light brown armor and a hand log brown hair and yellow eyes with small diamonds surrounding the pupil. She had a small pair of gourds on her belt. around her eyes she had make up that made her eyes resemble that of a raccoon. On her back was the kanji for One.
The second was also female. She had black hair and a long purple battle dress. Her eyes were a light purple and the pupils were slit. On her hands were gloves that that formed claws similar to that of a cat. On her left upper arm was the kanji for Two.
The third was a tall male figure. He wore a dark blue and green ANBU outfit. His eyes were green with dark blue hair. On his left arm was a shield with serrated blades on the edge. The inside of it resembled a turtle shell. On his right arm was the kanji for Three.
The fourth was tall and muscular. He wore a red and black armor with a pair of brass knuckles on his hands and a large hammer hefted onto his shoulder. He had onyx eyes with red hair and a long beard. On his hammer was the kanji for Four.
The fifth was a tall and lean man. He had long silver hair and green eyes. He wore mostly black and gray armor with a mask covering his mouth. In his left hand was a long spear that had what looked like a long rope of dog hair. The glove that had the spear in it had the kanji for Five on the top.
The sixth was a large man. He wore what looked like an old style soldier outfit complete with camouflage. Unlike the others he was bald and had slime green eyes. On his belt were a bunch of balls filled with slime.
The seventh was a man covered head to toe in armor that resembled that of a beetle. A pair of yellow eyes could be see from the visor on his helmet. On his left arm was a long spike that resembled a large curved stinger.
The eighth was tall with dark skin and was very muscular. He wore a long pants with sandals and had a large belt with a silver buckle that resembled the head of a bull. He had no shirt revealing his large muscles. On his waist was what looked like a sketch pad and a pen. On his back was a large Zanbato like sword that looked like it was made up of eight different jagged blades.
The final figure wore black and red armor coving all of his body with metal binding covering his throat. His gloves had claws and there were curved blades on his feet and the back of his heels. He had short red hair and crimson slit eyes. On his hip was a long katana.
The ninth man rubbed his head and said, "Oh my head. What hit me…wait…I'm alive?"
The first woman looked at the ninth man in shock and asked, "Kyuu-kun? Is that you?"The man turned around and asked, "Ichi-chan?"
Naruto panted from the exertion and said, "Welcome back to the land of the living guys."
Realization hit the humans around them like a ton of bricks. These were the 9 bijuu.
"Naruto," Tsunade said, "I thought you said the Kyuubi was dead."Naruto looked at the blonde kage and said, "He was. The seal I used is capable of bringing a being back to life or release them from bonds just as long as chakra is available. I still had it's chakra in me, so I was able to use it."
Samael was currently a bit nervous as the Hachibi looked at him.
"Well well," Hachibi said, "Look what we got here. Who brought out this old dinosaur."
The remaining bijuu turned their attention to Samael.
"Didn't see this coming," Ichibi said.
"Kit had a good reason to bring us out," Kyuubi said, "What do you guys say we show the old timer here how a real demon fights?"
There were voices of agreement around him.
Naruto stumbled a few steps before Minato stopped him. The elder blonde said, "You are in no position to fight after using that jutsu young man. Rest for now. We'll take care of the big bad freak shows."
The angels then stood beside the nine bijuu.
"Best family reunion ever," Kyuubi said as he drew his katana.
With that said they charged.
Okay I wanted to try and get one last twist into the story before I ended it. The next chapter will be the last. Let me know what you think. Okay goodbye. Sorry with was short…I'm still not that good with big war scenes.
