Chapter 34 Breakout Part 2
The sun was lowering over the Leaf village as Lady Tsunade prepared to go to get something to eat; it had been another long boring day. With the threat of demons looming overhead all none vital missions had been canceled. No one paperwork about the latest genin mission about a missing cat or a chunin team report about a caravan protection detail. Now she just had to deal with the plans to evacuate the Leaf village when the demons attack.
"Lady Tsunade if you want I can get you some super." offered Ino who had taken over the role of the Hokage's aid.
"No, because if I don't get out of here at least once a day I will lose my mind." stated Tsunade as she looked toward the series of photos sitting on her desk. One of was of her parents who had died long ago, then came her brother and Dan. Her genin team when they used to be happy, however she had been focused on two photos the most, one was of a Jiriaya when he had brought Naruto back from training when he was a snap shot of Naruto and Sakura taken by one of the photographer during the war. Naruto had a large cut on his arm and Sakura was healing it, normally that wouldn't be a photo someone would put on their desk but it was their position to each other that made Tsunade smile. Both were leaning somewhat toward each other and even though they had just been though a battle they were smiling, that photo gave her hope that Sakura and Naruto would admit their feelings toward each other and most importantly believe it. Something she and Jiriaya never could admit to each other. Tsunade slowly got up out of her chair only to have the doors leading into her office fly open.
"Lady Tsunade messages from Sunagakure and from Demon country." yelled an aid as she ran into the room handing the message to the Hokage. Instantly the Hokage started reading the message from Sunagakure.
'What is it Lady Hokage?" asked Ino
"Demons spotted in hidden locations around Sunagakure." explained Tsunade
"I will get the army assembled." stated Ino
"No…." stated Tsunade as Ino looked at her Hokage
"They are our allies." stated Ino "Our friends are in that village."
"I know but this it isn't a recue request it is a farewell message." said Tsunade as she started to read the letter.
Lady Tsunade
The Demons have been spotted under camouflage netting; they surround the village with entrenchments ringing the entire village. We estimate their strength to be over a hundred thousand soldiers. Our positions are too compromised and we cannot hold out long from a direct attack we are instead going to carry out our own version of Shikamaru's plan please move according.
The fifth Kazekage Gaara
"They know we can't save them." stated Tsunade as she looked at the next letter her eyes widened even more as she read letter
"What is it?" asked Ino afraid of the letter was going to say.
"The Demon village is considering surrendering to a demon army outside of their village lead by a crowned prince Gamba." stated Tsunade
"Another village gone." said Ino as she lowered her head.
"Naruto was with him." added Tsunade as Ino's head snapped up.
"What?" asked Ino
'He refused to help them stating his parents, sister, brother and Sakura are all demons and so is he. Then he became a demon fox." Stated Tsunade
"So we lost Naruto and Sakura?" asked Ino
"I didn't think it was possible but it seems so." said Tsunade as she let the papers drop to the floor. "Ino I think I will need a strong drink tonight."
"I think we will all need it." said Ino
Meanwhile the temperature in wind country had gone down with the setting sun lowered the temperature to a level that most demons could stand with ease. The time to attack had come and the goal was to break though the massive sand stone walls which was three times the thickness as the outer wall of Iwagakure however there was only one. There plan was to have their army cover the demon ants as they dug their way through the sandstone walls. They would have dug underground but the amount of sand made that impractical, they would have to dig at least a hundred feet down to reach stone and then they would still have to support it.
"Alright." stated the commander in charge of this attack, a snake named Lu "Launch the attack."
Sakura stood on top of one of the many sand dunes that surrounded the village, she watched as the demons stormed forward. To her and everyone surprise the Sand ninjas started attacking at once throwing kunai and other projectors down from the tops of the massive walls. It wasn't the fact they were firing back that caught everyone off guard it was the fact that they were firing back so soon.
"They knew we were coming." though Sakura with a smile but she couldn't help but notice that the ants where already tearing their way through the stone walls.
"Kind of impressive isn't it." said Caci as she slithered up beside Sakura "Those ant drones can rip though stone like nothing."
"I guess." answered Sakura as the first group of wounded made it to the medical station located in front of them. Even though Sakura was a doctor she wasn't assigned to that medical station, since she had more experience working on humans her job was to take care of any wounded humans that they pull out. From this distance it looked like mostly minor wounds, bad cuts on the arms and legs. A few she could tell wouldn't make it but this was war.
"I mean they spend almost their entire lives digging and maintaining those massive underground colonies." Stated Caci as she looked at the ants they were stepping over the fallen bodies of their teammates like it was nothing, they weren't even looking down at the bodies.
"They don't seem to care about their teammates." stated Sakura
'Why would they?" asked Caci "They don't even have names."
"What?" asked Sakura
"Apart from the breeding queens and the warriors they use to breed with the queens they have no one in their society have names." stated Caci "Just like they don't have kids, only the queens have them. They can have over a sixty kids in a year."
"What?" asked Sakura "That is impossible."
"Well they only spend two months growing inside the queen until they are born and they can have ten kids in a single pregnancy." Explained Caci "They can barley live outside their mother and about half of them die within three months but to them numbers and speed mean more than anything.
"Only two months?" asked Sakura
"You haven't been reading the medical files on demons have you?" laughed Caci as Sakura shock her head. "Every race is different."
"I guess I was still thinking like a human." explained Sakura
"I mean as a snake when I get Sasuke-kun I will lay an egg containing our offspring, it will grow until it is hatched while you as a fox will carry your young inside you until it is ready." stated Caci "I mean having your child grow inside you for months just seems to be a waste."
"But you don't get that bond between mother and child." thought Sakura as she looked back toward the battle
"You can call it a waste but I don't think so." stated Sakura
"I kind of wish Sasuke-kun was here so I could talk to him some more." stated Caci
"Where is that snake anyhow?" asked Sakura
"He has a special mission." stated Caci
On the top of the massive walls Gaara stood watching the battle, all around him was the ninjas under his command.
"Lord Kazekage, they are moving faster than we thought." stated an ANBU as Gaara nodded his head as he turned his head to look into his village, the streets where filled with villagers heading toward the Kazekage building. This was all part of Temari's plan now they had to hope it worked because there was the defenses around the wall would not last for long. The ants where chewing their way through the defenses.
"Prepare to blow the wall." stated Gaara as the ANBU nodded his head.
"We are blowing it." yelled the ANBU as the Sand ninjas started to move the wall and headed into the village.
In the second wave of the attack Minato Namikaze stood beside his mate and mother of his three kits. The second wave was still waiting for the order to join the attack but they could see the effects of the battle. Wounded where being sent past them to get patched up, some with kunais and ninja stars still in them. Suddenly all the attacks stopped as the Sand ninjas disappeared from on top of the walls.
"What are they doing?" asked Kushina
"I don't know." answered Minato as suddenly a series of powerful explosions ripped the top quarter of the wall apart. There was no time to react as giant pieces of sandstone started to fall from the top of part of the wall. It was a man made avalanche and it had hundreds of demons in its sights. Even with all their chakra power demons couldn't stop the fall pieces of rock, some of which was the size of a small house. Kushina looked away as some demons got crushed to death; others had their limbs pinned under tons of rock. Minato lowered his head a bit even though both of them had seen too much death on the battlefields neither one of them liked to see people die. Before them instead of the massive seventy five foot tall wall with a flat front, now stood a much lower mess of sand stone.
"They blew up the wall?" asked a bear as he looked toward Minato "What are the humans thinking, now we can go right in."
"They knew the wall would be useless, so they made it into a weapon." explained Minato "It will take time to climb the rocks plus the time needed to save those pinned under them."
In Demon country the much smaller army that surrounded the demon village had been waiting for a sign that the humans would surrender.
"My Prince we are half an hour past the deadline." stated Flay as the crowned prince of the demon felines Gamba lowered his head.
"Alright prepare to attack." stated Gamba as suddenly the gates opened as Shion along with the elders of the village came out.
"Hold on." ordered Gamba as he moved toward the gathering of humans, Fay along with a demon wolf followed him out.
"Have you made your decision?" asked Gamba as he looked toward Shion
"Yes…." answered Shion "Our village has voted to surrender."
"You made the right choice." said Gamba with a smile
'I would ask one thing of you." said Shion as Gamba raised an eyebrow "Tonight is one of the holy nights in our religion, there is a massive ceremony to the spirits of our ancestors. If we are going to become demons will you allow us to hold this ceremony?"
'Of course.' said Gamba as the wolf looked at him.
"You are going to humor these humans, they surrendered why shouldn't we take them now." stated the wolf
'All they are asking is to pray to their ancestors." stated Fay "We do the same thing."
"I thank you." stated Shion as she turned to walk away.
'However I have a demand myself." stated Gamba as Shion's eyes widened.
"What?" asked Shion as she swallowed her pride; she had argued to fight but her voice while powerful wasn't enough.
"I would like to see this ceremony myself." stated Gamba
"Very well.' stated Shion
"My Prince." stated Fay "The queen will not like you doing this."
"Some of these humans will be my subjects in the future." stated Gamba as he looked at his guard "I need to understand their culture how is it any different than going to a panther night hunt ceremony? Besides they will be busy processing the humans from the other villages."
"Very well my prince." stated Fay as the demon army moved into the demon village without a fight.
Hundreds of miles away a fight wasn't hard to find as the sand ninjas fought a losing battle against the advancing demon forces.
"Sand coffin!" stated Gaara as he fought on the front lines along with his ninja force. He used his personal supply of sand located inside the large gorge he kept on his back. However he could only crush one or two demons at a time, the snakes and the bears where harder to crush then the others. The snakes because of their scales and the bears because of the thick layer of muscles and fat. The demons where pushing their way into the village only to find a small secondary wall about a story high had been built within the village.
"Gaara get back here!" yelled Kankura as Gaara moved back to the defense wall.
"Are we ready?" asked Gaara
"Sir, they have some of our comrades out there." stated a jonnin as Gaara looked to see dozens of his ninjas being carried out of the village to be processed and later turned into demons. A fresh wave of demons where coming up over the opening in the outer walls, Gaara knew that they couldn't hold this position for long meaning they had to carry out their plan.
"There is nothing we can do for them." stated Gaara as he turned to Kankura "Do it."
At the same moment coming over the stone rise was Adria and her team. For a moment she paused and looked at the village that was lied out in front of her, it was a lot smaller then Iwagakure.
"Is something wrong Adria?" asked her team leader Talia
"No…" said Adria
"Scaredy fox." laughed Eaden as he looked at his teammate
"This is our first real combat Eaden I am afraid and so are you." stated her other male teammate Calin
"I see my parents." said Adria as she noticed her mom and dad just entering the village. "Now I just need to carry out my plan."
Adria never had a chance to carry out her plan as suddenly a massive wall of fire shoot up, starting right in front of the human defense line. Adria's eyes widened as she saw lines of explosions coming toward them.
"MOM DAD GET OUT OF THERE!" yelled Adria as her teammate Calin threw her to the ground as the explosion stopped at the wall. The final set of explosion went off yards in front of Minato and Kushina.
Back behind the lines Sakura was treating a knocked out Sand ninja for a broken bone when the entire ground rocked as a massive fireball rose up over the sand village. Every demon stopped what they were doing and looked toward the fireball.
"My pack." thought Sakura as her heart seamed to stop as she prayed for Minato, Kushina and Adria.
The fire was intense as the Sand ninjas took cover behind their wall.
"It worked." Laughed an ANBU as the fireball disappeared showing over a quarter of the village had been destroyed by the series of exploitive tags mixed with material. A village that had taken years to make now lied in ruins, the burnt bodies humans lied on the ground their cloths still on fire however more demons lied on the ground. A few where getting back up but they were badly burned where moving away from the rest of the village.
"Yes, it did but it only made them angry." stated Gaara as more demons rushed down the hills, for the first time they didn't rush toward them. Instead they were more worried about the wounded. In the distance Gaara could make out a blonde fox getting up near the outer wall.
"Binoculars." ordered Gaara as his brother handed him a pair.
"Naruto?" thought Gaara as he looked at the fox though the smoke, he could make out that the fox was male and from the distance looked like Naruto however he didn't have any whisker marks, but would they appear as a demon.
Minato Namikaze was just standing; he instantly looked to his right only to see his mate just sitting up with blood running down her face and arms.
"Kushina." said Minato as he moved to her side.
'I am alright." said Kushina as she tried to stand up only to fall back into her mate's arms.
"Mom…Dad." yelled Adria as she rushed to her parents side.
"I am alright." said Kushina as she whipped some blood from her face.
"We are taking you to see Sakura." ordered Minato as he picked up his wife and held her bridle style. He had seen injuries like this before and even though he knew she was fine he had to protect her.
"Adria help take the wounded to the medical unit!" yelled Talia as she helped a wounded bear to his feet.
"Alright." answered Adria as she helped a wolf to her feet, using herself as a crutch to help get her out of the battlefield.
"Is that Naruto?" asked Kankura as the blonde fox carrying a red vixen.
"No…I think we almost killed Naruto's parents." stated Gaara
Back behind the demon lines it was a mess as every doctor and nurse where busy treating the wounded coming in from the explosion. Most had horrible burns over their bodies with pieces of shrapnel in their bodies. Pieces of wood from furniture, stone, sand and dozens of household items.
"Hold him still." ordered Sakura as two horses held down a bear as Sakura pulled out a small picture frame from his gut. Instantly the wound started bleeding as Sakura started sealing the wound with her healing chakra. She had just finished healing the wound when she noticed Naruto's parents and Adria coming toward her. Kushina had blood running down her face.
"Sakura we need you here." yelled Adria as Sakura moved to help Naruto's mom.
"Don't worry, it's just a cut." said Sakura as she healed the cut and at the same time testing for a concussion. "You may have a slight concussion but some rest and you should be good."
"I thought it was Adria who was suppose to get cut." whispered Kushina as Sakura remembered her plan.
"Adria was supposed to get hurt, not much just enough to be sent back to the medical teams. Where she would demand me, her brother's mate as a healer. At the same time Minato and Kushina being worried parents would check on here and they would escape together." thought Sakura as she remembered the plan she herself had set up in the kitchen of the Namikaze den only a few days ago.
"Alright, everyone is in a panic right now…we can make our get away." whispered Sakura as she looked at the panic that surrounded them. No demon noticed that four foxes slipping away into the darkness of the desert night.
