I am terribly sorry for the long wit but chef school is a real bitch. There is so much work that needs to be done. But understand this my friends, I will not stop writing this story until it's one hundred percent compete. In the words of Naruto. "Believe it!! The promise of a life time."
To all of you who reviewed. "Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart."
War: The village
Screams were heard through out the whole village as the Hokage tower was hit by cannon shells. Gia and Kakashi who were currently on their way to the finals stopped and stared in fear as pieces of the building were falling on villagers trying to run out of the way. The two could do nothing for the few who were crushed under the force of the ruble. But they wouldn't let that happen again, as more anbu showed up and started to move people to the shelters which they designed just for this event. "Sir we're now placing all the villagers into the shelters." Kakashi turned to the anbu and nodded his head, Rumbling was felt on the ground and heard in the air, suddenly Kakashi's eyes went wide.
"The gate now!!!" almost fifty leaf ninjas including Kakashi and Gia made it to the gate only to hear more cannon fire and the gate exploding open. Smoke covered the entire view of all and nobody made a noise. That was until screams were heard from the smoke and seemed to be approaching rather quickly. Gia turned to his eternal rival and gave a thumbs up.
"Kakashi I will defeat more ninjas's then you on this day."
Kakashi smiled as both sound and Rock ninjas started to enter the city. "Let the game begin."
The two ninja factions were starting to push the leaf back from the gate. It also didn't help leaf that cannon fire was raining down on their position. Kakashi looked up to the cliffs outside of the city on the tree lines to see where the cannons were coming from. "Shit we can't go nowhere near those cannons with all these ninjas here." Suddenly a thick mist started to form around the whole battle field causing all the ninjas even leaf to stop fighting and look around. The fog covered everybody from head to toe, all the leaf ninjas listened as slashes and screaming was heard. The mist disappeared and showed that all the enemy ninjas were killed and seventy mist ninjas were standing above the bodies with blood soaked blades. Gia gave a thumbs up to the leader of the army who happened to be a jounin.
"What a youthful entrance." The jounin sweat dropped and turned to Kakashi.
"Sorry we're late but our scouts have informed us that a large demon army is heading this way from the north and will be here at the front gate in less than a half an hour." While speaking the ninjas had to find cover as more cannon shells rained down on the village streets. "Waterfall said that they would engage them but they are so few numbers."
"Than we'll have to help them. But we can't do a thing with all these damn cannons." Everyone turned their heads to see three huge explosions coming from the massive cannons. One by one the cannons started to blow up causing the humans who were manning them to fly off the cliff from the force of the explosions. Four more cannons still were intact but it seemed now that a small battle was happening up there as smaller explosions were seen. The Mist ninja saw the confused looks from the leafs and decided to explain.
"Must be the Snow they said that they would watch the cities back." More enemies entered through the front gate. "Looks like they wont give up."
Gia then gave a thumbs up and grinned. "Then I will show them what happens when they attack the beautiful green beast of Konoha."
Kakashi simply sweat dropped. "Did you say something Gia."
"Curse you Kakashi and your coolness, even now in this situation who say such un youth full things."
South side
On the south wall Kurenai, Asuma, Anko, and Samonosuke along with fifty leaf ninjas are holding up against Rain and Cloud who were pushing the leaf back. Sasonosuke cut three cloud ninjas in half with one slash and moved back placing his back to Kurenai's. "I don't know how long we can last here!" More enemies started to jump over the walls followed by Sand ninja's. A cloud jounin smiled at the sight of their allies. (Note they all still think that Sand is allied with Sound.) The jounin's face went to horror as the sand ninjas started to attack and kill off the other ninjas who were trying to enter the city. The jounin turned to a chunnin that was panting and trying to catch his breathe.
"I know this looks bad but remember that our weapon and twenty cloud jounin's are still in the city."
"It's just about that sir." The jounin looked at the messenger fearfully.
"Yugito is dead? She can't be killed she's a demon!!"
"No sir Yugito and her team have joined the enemy and are in the stadium killing off sound ninjas." The jounin was starting to think desperately. "Sir they have three demon weapons now, one from leaf and the one from sand. What do we do?"
"Fall back we can't win this fight even if we have the upper ground." With the order given cloud then started to flee leaving the Rain forces to be wiped out and pined down. Anko started to laugh out loud while slicing into ninja after ninja.
"Now the tables have turned!" Sand ninja started to run into the city past the leafs to fight other enemies. Anko licked the blood off he kunai and smiled at Kurenai who was holding off two ninjas with Samonosuke's back still to hers. Anko was about to help her until a massive roar was heard, it seemed that the sand had finished their summoning which happened to be a giant four tailed demon fox with red eyes and black fur. The demon started to sniff the air causing huge gusts of wind to travel through out the battle field. The demon then growled and turned around. Everyone looked to see that the demon was facing Manda who was also summoned. The fox jumped into the air and engaged the massive snake in combat sending an earth quake through out the lands. Something suddenly caught Anko's eye as she looked up to see six weird looking ninjas being chased by Naruto's girls and Kimimaro. "What the hell? They are heading for the Hokage tower." Anko was about to give chase but was stopped by a rain nin who threw an umbrella down causing it to explode into needles.
The six figures ran from roof top to roof top, they were all demons wearing the same type of ninja gear as Sarutobi only red, with a black Anubinatee eye in the center. Instead of having the arm shield on the right hand like Sarutobi these guys had long straight wrist blades, and their faces were covered with a human skull as a face mask. Although it looked like the skull was actually their faces. The leader of the group wore the same armor but had wrist blades on both his arms and didn't have a helmet, instead he wore a bulls skull his red eyes glowing from behind it. The six demon ninjas jumped towards the Hoakge tower that was now in sight. The leader of the demons spoke up first. "It would seem that the humans were of use as they made us an open door with their cannons." The demons jumped up into the hole in the tower and proceeded to run towards the Hoakge's office killing guards and civilians that got in their way. They destroyed the door with a well placed earth jutsu used by the leader of the group. "Spread out and locate the scroll, it has to be here somewhere." The demons then started to wreck the office throwing down book shelves and smashing pictures. One of the demons moved a picture to see a safe behind it in the wall.
"I found it." Right after he said that, his face was slammed into the safe by a man. All the demons looked back to see Sarutobi in his ninja armor ready to fight. The leader pushed two other demons out of the way while walking towards the Hoakge.
"Impossible your fighting that snake right now."
Sarutobi smiled. "Things aren't always what they seem." The demons started to surround the Hokage with their blades ready. "You can't take us all on old man. Hell you can't take on two of us. We're the elite of the Anubinatee."
"So they say." Everyone in the room turned around to see Kimimaro, Tayuya, Kin, Ino, Hinata, and Shizune in the door way, Kimimaro took out his bone sword while the rest were moving for their weapons of choice, Kimimaro looked at the leader and smiled. "Let's see if what they say about the crimson kunai are true. Let's see if you are really immortal." The five demons jumped out side of the window followed by the rest, all that remained in the room were the crimson kunai leader and the Hokage.
"Now it is just you and me old man. Your skull shall made a wonderful mask for one of my men." Sarutobi didn't respond verbally only physically by jumping at the demon. Outside the demons along with our heroes were fighting on the roof tops. Below them screams of battle were heard demons, humans, and summons were fighting in the backgrounds and around the building they were on. In fact now it seemed that Gamabunta, the fox demon, Manda, and Katsuyu (Tsunade's giant snail summon.) Were joining forces to attack some giant weird looking creature that made large humming noises. The stand off ended and the two sides ran at each other each taking on one of the crimson kunai. Kin and hinata were fighting one together as the rest fought one by themselves. Tayuya was battling her foe who seemed to be pushing back her spear with his wrist blade. Tayuya had enough and took out her flute stabbing her spear into the roof, she started to play her demonic tune summoning the three doki demons. The demons charged and started to attack the crimson kunai who was dodging the attacks as if they were mere child things. The demon ninja started to form hand signs.
"Elemental attack: Demonic flare tower!!" Three large pillars of flame shot out from the beneath the doki destroying them. Tayuya smirked at the demon who was walking slowly towards her.
"So you like fire ah? Great because that's my game faggot." Tayuya then started to do some of her own hand signs and shouted. "Elemental equipment: Flaming kunai!!" Tayuya threw her hands to her sides and soon kunai made of blue flame were in both her hands. "And if you think that isn't enough? Shadow clone jutsu!!" Now there were four Tayuya's all equipped with the blue flame kunai, they all smiled and charged into battle.
Kimimaro had no trouble with his enemy as he simply impaled him with a forest of bones that shot out from under the roof. The ninja jumped over the attack but was side kicked into the pillars by Kimimaro who knew he was going to do that. Kimimaro walked up to the demon who had bone spikes impaling his arms, legs, chest, and head. "Pathetic immortal indeed. But just to be sure." Kimimaro cut off the head of the demon having the body fall but the head still remain impaled on the spike. "Lord Naruto always told me to remove the head just incase." He then started to walk towards Shizune who had her enemy pinned with over a dozen poison needles.
"Foolish human bitch we are demons. Poison doesn't affect us."
"That is right you flesh cow."
Shizune was now faced with two demons instead of one, as another came up behind the first. "Did you kill the blonde girl?"
The demon chuckled and pointed back at Ino who was laying down on the roof motionless, Shizune gasped and sneered at the two. "She was weak and had no fight in her."
"Good then we shall deal with her right after." The couldn't finish his sentence as the second one sliced off his head with his wrist blade. Shizune looked at the demon as if he were crazy, the demon saw this and laughed while rubbing the back of his head.
"Sorry about that Shizune I didn't want to ruin my cover."
"Ino?" Ino/demon simply nodded, Kimimaro came up and nodded to Ino/demon who nodded back.
"Release!!" The demon didn't have any time to respond as his head to soon found the ground. Kin and Hinata were giving the demon all it's worth as he couldn't use his right arm or left leg thanks to Hinata the demon knew he was out matched and out armed so he did a couple of single handed signs and disappeared. Tayuya was dancing around her opponent who dispelled all her shadow clones. She sliced the demons weapon in half as if it were butter, she then twirled around behind him and sliced his head off. The five regrouped together as more anubinatee ninjas were jumping on the roof surrounding them.
"I hope the Hokage is alright?"
This has got to be one of my shortest chapters yet. But believe me that the next chapter War: Outside the Gates will be much longer and tie into a lot that has happened in this chapter. The event's from all four chapters on the war blend into each other, and I thought it would be fun if the readers would make the connections. I have decided not to answer any questions until after the war as I would give everything away with just a small answer.
