Alrighty! Next chapter is here! I only have a few more chapters to go until I can start another story! XD A friend and I have been working on one together... She said she would help me set it up! We haven't decided on a title yet but we are getting there... Lol Please enjoy!

Chapter Twenty Seven: Prepare for Battle!

"Prepare your most able bodied men for battle!" Was shouted throughout the village, men and a few women rushing about the town, gathering up weapons as well as bits and pieces of armor. "Send messengers for help to all our allies! They would help turn the fight eventually!" They all shouted, Tsunade's office was so crowded that it seemed as if it would burst.

"Listen up!" The blonde hokage had to stand atop her desk to be seen as well as heard. "We are about to be under siege by our greatest enemy! He has a massive army of about 600 unknown creatures. The only thing we really know is that they are weak against any other jutsu but taijutsu! I warn you all now! If you value your life, don't use taijutsu... Dont' even get within range of them! Only as close as you can with your jutsu! Understood?"

"Is this everyone who will be fighting against an army of hundreds?!" Came a few alarmed voices, the room begining to fill with worried looks and glances back and forth. "Just us?! We won't stand a chance!"

"Quiet down!" Came a female voice from the door. Silvaria and Sasuke pushed their way through the crowded room. "We've sent out messengers to the other villages explaining our situation..." Silvaria explained.

"Yes... We've sent our fastest to each village we are allied with." Sasuke finished, looking outside the window at the gathering clouds. "We also have the women who aren't fighting and the children gathering up their needed items. They will meet you and Hanha here."

"Speaking of which, where is that fairy?" Silvaria asked, looking around for the yellow crystal flower.

"Weeeeee!! Faster Mr. Uzumaki, faster!!" Hanha shouted, clinging to the kitsune's hair as he hopped from roof to roof. The wind felt like it would rip her from the boys head but she loved it! She could never fly this fast without getting hurt... It was fun.

"I thought you couldn't wander that far from you little flower thing!" Naruto shouted over the picking up wind.

"I'm not... I put it in your backpack when you weren't looking..."

"... That's why it felt heavy all of a sudden!! I thought I was just tired..." Naruto stopped above his house and opened the window, hopping inside and taking the 15 pound backpack off and setting it down on the bed. "I need to gather up a few things... Look for whatever you need and hurry and get back to the old hags office before she realizes you ran off..."

"Tsk tsk Mr. Uzumaki... That's not a very nice thing to say about your Hokage..." Hanha said as she pulled her crystal out of the ramen lovers bag and set it down on the bed. She murmured something and a blurry picture of an object appeared in her mind. "Ah Ha! Now what it's hidden under is the question..." She began digging through Naruto's sheets, becoming a weird dot darting around under the covers. "I found it I found it!!" The little fairy squealed, flying out of the blankets and taking something with her that she clung to for life.

"What did you find?" Naruto asked, putting all of the weapons he gathered into his pouches and backpack. He turned and saw Hanha huggling his nightcap. "Hey!! That's mine!! Why'd you go all this way for that old thing?"

"It's made of really soft fabric... I loveses it almost as much as I love you..." Hanha said, curling up on the little hat, squealing as she did. "Kyaa!! It's so soft!! -Nuzzle nuzzle nuzzle-"

Naruto merely rolled his eyes, flinging the backpack over his shoulders and grabbed the crystal blossom. "Yeah whatever... Can we go now? We have things that are very important we need to get ready for..."

"Alrighty! Take me back so I can go with Tsunade to the safe place during the battle... I wish you luck thought Mr. Uzumaki... To you and everyone else in who is joining you in battle." Hanha said with a smile as she followed Naruto out the window and back to the Hokages tower.

"Alrighty! Men! Follow Silvaria out to the front of Konoha if you are ready for battle! If not, then get your shit and get out there! We have no time to waste now lets go!" Tsunade barked and all the men in the room followed Silvaria and Sasuke out save for a few taijutsu users. "You all will be defenders at the hideout... just in case they manage to let a few escape in the heat of battle..."

"Hai!" The three said in unisonas they ran out to meet the women and children outside. Naruto walked in and set the crystal down on Tsunades desk as Hanha flew into the room.

"There you are Hanha..." Tsunade said, grabbing her pouch of kunai and tying it to her waist. "Naruto, if your ready then go ahead and head out with Sasuke and the others... You'll get further instructions from there... Hanha, I need you to come with me and the others that are seeking safety inside the Hokage Monument."

Naruto nodded and quickly ran off, Hanha following the blonde women. She walked outside and gathered the attention of the many women and young children, many of which wouldn't leave their mothers side. "Ladies, take your children and follow me please... We are going to seek safety just in case the battle gets out of hand..."

The ANBU were already awaiting beyond the gate of Konoha, awaiting the rest so they can meet the army head on, hopefully a small ways from the village. "Is everyone that is fighting with you?" A member asked Sasuke as he approached.

"Yes... Naruto and Kakashi are on their way." Sasuke answered, the men and women walking the trail they were instructed to follow. "Kakashi had things he needed to do and take care of before coming and Naruto had to gather supplies."

"Where is Soro?" Another ninja asked, narrowing his eyes at Silvaria in suspicion.

"He's already at the location we were instructed to go to..." Silvaria smirked, walking off with the other men, "He's one step ahead of you supreme ANBU so you can shove a stick up your asses and suck it up..."

Sasuke smirked and followed the group, hearing cursing and snorts from behind him from the ANBU. "Brat..."

As they neared the edge of a patch of forest, the sky was darkened with clouds and bits of thunder could be heard. Everyone there was serious, standing in short rough rows along the horizon, wind stirring the unsteadyness of the soon to be battle feild.

"This is our last stand..." Soro's voice rang from a tree not far ahead of them. He hopped down and approached the group, crossing his arms and putting his back to the wind. "We are here to protect something we all hold dear to us... A village, your familes... You homes... Some of you may die, we may all even die... But let us hope that if our lives are taken, we take a few of those damn creatures with us!"

Naruto and Kakashi managed to get into the large crowd at the end of Soro's little speech. All cheered but the ANBU, too serious to think of such things...

"Lets kick their asses! Lets show them what happens when you mess with the Village Hidden in the Leaves!"
