"If you are so special to be late to a match in the Exams that are supposed to be an example of a war and you are so special that you would even ignore the proctor for your own selfish reasons, then I rather win by fighting dirty then losing fair and square to someone like you." Narumi said and then pushed Sasuke away unconscious from her and begin to leave while the proctor did nothing to stop her.
"Now the final matches are done with five contestants left with the free pass, we will have semi-finals until one of the Genin are left." Genma said until there were feathers falling and the yawns filling up the stadium.

At the same time in the stands,
Naruto sensed that the invasion was accelerated when Narumi made such a speech when she made a clown and a cheater out of Sasuke, not that he was complaining about it. The blond then noticed the sight of white feathers and the sound of people yawning prior to falling asleep. Naruto just calmed down and used his chakra to nullify the Genjutsu before it can affect him and told everyone to do the same.
"Everyone, help your clans level down the invaders! I have to go and get some of the ninjas in the Hospital ready for attacks!" Naruto shouted to his fellow Rookies while the Chunin and Jonin work on the civilians and the rest of the ninja force.
Meanwhile, Naruto sent a Kage-Bunshin to the Medical Ward where Tenten as well as other injured contestants can be found while the original went to the hospital like he said. When he got there, Tsunade was on her break and she noticed the feathers too.
"Kaa-chan how is Kin?" Naruto said once he reached Tsunade in her office, "Is she ready for this?"
"Yes, I will get her." Tsunade answered and went towards the Kunoichi's room but not before she ordered, "In the meantime, use your Kage Bunshin to round up the rest of the patients and have them relocated to the basement. They will be safe there from any crossfire outside." Naruto nodded and created a hundred clones to cover all the patients either before or during the Finals up till it was interrupted.
While the clones were doing their new job, the original went outside and waited until he heard "Naru-koi!" The blond turned and smiled to see Tenten and one of his clone racing towards the location of the original.
"Thank you." Naruto said before he dispelled the clone acting as a guide for the girl still covered in white streaks made of cloth. When the blond turned to her bandaged but still good for battle mate, he sensed something coming their way. Naruto managed to help Tenten dodge a blade of wind that was aimed at their previous location. "Nice of you to join the party, Temari-san." Naruto turned to see the very sand princess with a huge fan in her hands and an angry look on her face.
"Hello Temari-san, no hard feelings huh?" Tenten said that just caused Temari to send small wind blades at them.
"Don't 'hello Temari-san' me, you tree-loving cheaters! Thanks to you and that weapons bitch, I had to face shame in my name as a proud Kunoichi!" Temari sounded real mad and I mean as in both deranged and angry about the whole thing that was left behind a month ago.
"Tenten-chan, I am going to meet up Jiji and Nii-chan so can I count on you to keep this girl with a giant fan out of my hair? I will reward you when all this ends~!" Naruto asked of his mate with a little teasing touch which made the girl with panda ears in her hair and scrolls in her shirt blush and get on fire.
"Sure Naruto-kun. I will make you proud like I did weeks ago!" Tenten answered with fire in her eyes that appeared on her body too that stirred up Temari but she still was bent on making her new opponent pay for that embarrassment long ago.
Meanwhile, Naruto ran thru the village in the direction where he agreed to meet up with Gaara when the invasion started.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, called the Professor for his knowledge and wisdom, never thought that he would be held at knife point by the "Kazekage" on top of the tallest and widest buildings in the village. "I never thought I will come to this 'Kazekage-dono', or should I say Orochimaru?" This shocked his kidnapper long enough for Hiruzen to grasp the mask that concealed the 'Kazekage's' face to reveal a white skinned man that appeared in the Forest of Death over a month ago; the Snake Sennin, Orochimaru!
"I just can't hide from you, Sarutobi-sensei, now can't I?" The snake like man hissed and taunted at his former teacher. "Too bad that you didn't see this earlier or otherwise you would have stopped my invasion as a whole." Orochimaru make a sneer at his 'senile' teacher while four ninjas appeared and created a cube that was purple in color and covered most of the roof it was created on; then, the four Oto Ninjas moved their chakra to cover themselves in the same barrier in order to protect themselves from inside forces that could disrupt the balance the barrier needs to remain stable.
"On the contrarily, I allowed it to happen." Hiruzen said that wiped the smirk off the Snake Sage's face. "You just were played along like the fool you are to believe that your method of taking over bodies will make you immortal, or are you just afraid of death like a coward." Hiruzen then had his fun with the taunting as Orochimaru really felt like someone was digging under his skin. "Besides, you should have made Naruto-kun your ally instead of an enemy during a war like this. Because~!" Orochimaru felt like he was a hugging a cactus with thorn sticking through his skin and had to shed his skin in a hurry.
When he looked to see what was that had pierced him, there was nothing different to see about Hiruzen except that he looker taller and younger! "Is this some Henge you are using to fool me!?" Orochimaru was feeling upstaged that his own sensei, the elderly man he thought to have gone senile years ago, had found the method of reversing his age and that meant that his life span had lengthen until he grew his white hair and wrinkles again.
Hiruzen just smirked, kind of like how Orochimaru was like since he revealed himself to the fake Kazekage. "Naruto-kun is a genius and a bright sun to shine through the darkness you sees by your side. Orochimaru this is for the record books on the biggest mistake anyone can make including you: Making Naruto Uzumaki your enemy." Hiruzen then shed his Hokage Cloak to reveal his battle attire.

Gaara was hurrying towards the planned location when the invasion was to start. While running, he had a conversation with his tenant.
'Everyone is still thinking that I am going to let you free in the village as a diversion while Orochimaru fights to kill off the Hokage, Shukaku-san.' Gaara talked to the Ichibi no Tanuki within the seal that was alerted to be more effective over five years ago.
'If they think that I am going to act like a wild beast to destroy what Naruto-kun has trained himself to the ground to protect, they are the ones that going to be killed!' Shukaku was always believed to love killing and destruction but he stood above the rest for having a code of honor that involved those he actually liked and can tolerate their presence in his life or in his sight. Finally, they reached the spot when Shukaku changed his mind when 'What the heck, they are going to get killed anyway! Just target those who were with that stupid snake to begin with and not those who were fooled! It is a waste of tie and power to kill those who can't tell the difference between their leader and an imposter! Let's go!'
On cue, Gaara started to transform into a giant tanuki made of sand that stood near the buildings that were surrounding him and causing Shinobi on both sides to look in surprise and shock, Leaf and Sand Ninja respectably; Leaf ninjas never saw a being like this one before while Sand ninjas were wondering why the Biju was summoned in the village instead of outside as part of the plan.

Kankuro was going to his sister to back her up when he saw that the 'Sand Spirit' was released in the village but it was too soon and it looked like it was attacking the Suna Shinobi only. "Why is the Ichibi attacking the ninja from its own village? I thought Gaara was cool about killing as part of the plan!" The puppet master that wears makeup was panicking on what to do about this development when he heard growling and buzzing from behind him. When Kankuro looked, he saw Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, Choji and Shikamaru standing and glaring down on him.
"Part of the plan you say?" Kiba said and Kankuro realized that his let his loose mouth run off like that. "Care to explain to us or do we have to practice the art of getting it out your throat?" Kiba said in an eerie tone that bothered his allies, who paid no attention to, and sent shivers down Kankuro's spine.

Narumi and Fu were fending off Suna Shinobi and aiding the Konoha Shinobi along with Sakura, Ino and Hinata when they saw the image of Shukaku in the village horizon. The latter four smiled while the former was shocked.
"Why is one of the Biju doing here in the village and why are you girls not frightened by its presence?" Narumi yelled a question at the smirking girls that just watched from the site of fallen invaders.
"It is because it all part of the plan; you would see it once the time comes." Oddly enough, all four of the girls who happen to be Naurto's mates said at once which only made Narumi annoyed.
"Fine but only because Fu trusts this that I would for the time being." Narumi made her point clear and the girls who are still smiling nodded that made Narumi feel only as much.

"Making a blonde brat my enemy is my biggest mistake? Is your mind still senile even with that younger body, Sarutobi-sensei?" Orochimaru sneered at his opponent. "Still, you really did foretell this day to come, eh?" Orochimaru managed to collect himself and got into his battle outfit as well as making hand seals while his teacher had just completed his own.
"Kunai Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Hiruzen threw a small bunch of kunai that suddenly started to multiply until a real storm of metal stars was coming Orochimaru's way but the sneaky and slithery snake had a shield to use against these projectiles.
"Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei!" Two spots that had an eerie purple glow appeared and coffins emerged to block the kunai from hitting Orochimaru. The one on Hiruzen's left had the Kanji for 'One' and on the right, 'Two'. Then, a third coffin with the Kanji for 'Three' started to emerge,
'I have got to stop the third one from rising!' Hiruzen thought has he focused his chakra to halt the process and cause it to in reverse. The third coffin did just that but Orochimaru didn't seem to be bothered by this development,
'Oh well, two is good enough.' The snake sage thought as he activated the coffins, causing the doors to fall off and reveal their contents which Hiruzen looked shocked on the outside but inside, he was expecting this from when Naruto showed him the snake scroll that revealed everything on Orochimaru's abilities.

Back with Naruto, he was his fair share of fights while using his metal summons that he used in the Forest during the Second Exam. With the installments he made into their mechanisms, they leveled out the invader's numbers by a handsome amount each; these could prove to be great weapons in war (a hint for a future story~! ). This could work out in Konoha's favor if this keeps up.
Then, Naruto felt a distribution in Nature and looked towards the top of the tower, where there was a purple cube on top of the Hokage Tower. That meant that Orochimaru was now fighting against the Hokage at the very top, within the cubical barrier. He knew it was his cue so he hurried towards the base of his destination.
This was not known to all but Naruto and his mates, but now was the time planned to reveal to the world about the gifts that Kurama made and left for him a couple of months ago.

From a general point of view, it was chaos within and out of the village boundaries with Jonin, Chunin and Summons fighting for both sides to win this miniature war that is called an invasion. Everywhere you see, there will be blood and metal flying in the air, flesh and cloth on the ground, & stone buried and dented badly.
Then suddenly, there was the sound of a tower crumbling and screaming soon flowed. When everyone looked to see the problem, the tower where the Hokage and Orochimaru went to for their grand battle had one of its higher floors completely demolished which caused the top to lose any balance and stability it had beforehand. It was faint even to the closest proximity of the tower but you could see that some of the foundations were covered in a red substance that sent immense heat for several meters and on the side, the brick and wood were being tarred apart into the smallest pieces possible.
Yet, with all this damage, the tower roof stayed in one piece with the strange barrier prison still maintaining but on not so stable grounds with the rest of the building slowly crumbling next. Then, trees and water appeared out of nowhere to add to the damage that was making the tower fall happen even faster. One could only imagine what is happening in that battle field in the middle of the village.
End of Chapter 26
*Hello everyone, this MircThomas19 here to tell you that I have only four more chapters left to make until I can really call this story completed.
