The next few days went on with some accidents where explosions occurred and property was damaged. There were even reports of gunfire being heard in some parts of the village, a liquidation inside the criminal world was happening and that an gang war was going on.
But in reality a hunt was happening, the hunted was Ventress and the hunters were the ALF and their militias. After Kakashi failed to bring in Ventress, the village had found itself being in a giant cat and mouse game where the ALF and its allies were going by every intel they were receiving and were trying to capture or kill Dooku's assassin.
The ALF had no luck finding her, having to cut their chase when the Hokage found it was Naruto's allies and they had to stop before the press could find out who was behind all of this.
Right now Naruto was standing in front of the table with Hudson, Yuri, Price and Foley. Who had recently arrived with a whole battalion of Rangers. The Rangers were now waiting for their next orders in the militia hideouts.
They were talking to the hologram of Admiral Ackbar, telling him about the invasion the CIS was about to plan. The admiral had already decided that he would go with an assault fleet he had assembled that would go to Elementia for support. Naruto had asked most of the girls to prepare themselves for what was to come as only Temari duo medical reason was the one to leave as last.
"Most ships that are being called in are not that far away from Elementia, neither am I, that's why I will lead the fleet. We're almost there so you don't need to worry." Ackbar had said.
"Thanks admiral, I owe you one when this will be over." Naruto said in relief.
"Don't be, I still owe you for helping my people. Make sure to notify the Kage's about the situation."
Hudson answered "Already had done that admiral."
"Then I'll see you very soon, may the force be with you." Ackbar said his goodbyes before the hologram shut off.
Price was the first to speak "Well this will be an interesting event. Seems like this will be the first confrontation against you personally Naruto. After all the crap you've given them."
Naruto sighed as he sat down "Seems like you're right Price, I only wished it could be fought somewhere else, far away from my home." He really wished that this could be prevented. Not wanting hid village, his friends, his family to be in the middle of all of this.
Yuri knew that Naruto was concerned about the situation and said "You know we've got your back Naruto. We'll defend the village no matter what."
"Thanks Yuri, I appreciate it." Naruto turned to Foley and decided to change the subject "Foley how are things in your country?"
"Oh you mean the US? Well there were elections. For Congress, President and a seat in the Republic Senate." Foley groaned at that thought "Those was perhaps the most horrible elections I have ever witnessed."
Naruto looked confused and asked "What do you mean?"
Foley rubbed the back of his neck "We had a choice between the Republican candidate who is a Yankee rich business man who used bullcrap rhetoric and promises to bring back jobs and on the other side we have a Democratic candidate who is taking in more money from Wall street and is a liar, who runs on the platform on identity politics and because she's a woman."
(Yes I am using the 2016 Election for this. I will not use their names but it is far to interesting. For the Americans who have to live with it, sorry but you got to live with it.)
"And now Timmy J Dirrel is the president of the United States." Foley face palmed "A bullshit artist managed to win the election."
"Wow." Naruto was surprised. He had heard of Dirrel, he was an American business man who was so famous for his lifestyle and him being 'Dirrel'. Naruto heard that Dirrel's rhetoric was mostly about the 'crumbling' military, the US not being taken seriously and that the US needed to expand its influence into the Galaxy and end the Clone Wars saying it was 'throwing away money'
But when he was elected, he quickly changed his views (unsurprisingly) by saying that the US should support the Clone Wars against 'tyranny'. Making him a tool to what Americans call 'the deep state' with its corruption cuddling up to warmongers and lobbyists with other established politicians.
Naruto had talked to some of his American colleagues like general Davis and some of the foot soldiers about their view on this and they said they couldn't be bothered anymore with the normal routine political bullcrap and the most known two-party system.
Naruto knew this was a dodgy subject but asked "What about Congress?"
Foley shook his head "Republicans, mostly conservatives have the majority. And I won't depend on the Democrats to make a comeback since most of them are in the back pocket of the corporations like the Republicans." Foley said.
"….and for the Senator seat?" Naruto asked.
Foley made a small smirk "Well on that I can say we had some sensible victory."
"How come?" Yuri asked.
"The race was won by perhaps the only politician who is honest about his beliefs. He won the election and has been very open about his beliefs, he's anti-war and has not taken a single dime from the big companies."
"Oi you mean that old senator with the crazy white hair and the glasses." Yuri asked.
"Yep that's him." Before they could finish their conversation, Temari came inside the room via an open door with Karura in her arms.
"Naruto, you've got visitors." She said. In the hallway, they could here multiple voices speaking to each other.
Naruto stood up and walked over to her. He looked down and smiled at the sleeping form of his just born son.
Naruto looked back at Temari "Okay, I'll see you later at dinner alright?"
"You know it's Tayuya's time to cook right? She's going to cook Chili."
Naruto smirked, that Tayuya became a better cook after she took some classes, she could rival with Hinata or Aveline.
"Okay." Naruto turned to his colleagues "Sorry guys, have to cut it short."
"No problems. I'm going to prepare the men, come Yuri." Price stood up.
"Yes Price." Yuri stood up as he followed Price.
"Say Foley, Jay Halstead is in your team right?" Hudson said as he stood up and grabbed the holocommunicator.
"Yes he is sir, why?" Foley started to follow the glass wearing man as they both exited the room while discussing about Halstead. They closed the door behind them and Naruto turned to Temari.
"Please open the door."
Temari nodded and opened the door behind her and gestured "Come in." she left the door wide open and walked to Naruto and kissed him on the cheek "I'll bring you guys some tea so you have ." She said as she left through the door.
"Good." Naruto sat down as he let out a big sigh "Let's get on to this."
Outside the village
A limping Ventress walked into the woods to where she had to meet an contact of hers. She thanked the force that she was lucky to escape the silver haired shinobi and the many death squads that were gunning for her.
She looked around "Where is this guy. He should be here by now." She asked herself with impatience in her voice. Then out of nowhere 3 Root agents dropped out of nowhere, surrounding her in a triangle position.
"Are you Ventress? Dooku's assassin? Master Danzo has sent us to your assistance." The supposed leader spoke.
Ventress nodded "Yes I am, I presume the invasion plan is on its way."
The agent nodded "Absolutely, they should attack any moment now."
Ventress chuckled "Good," she said sadistically "Today I will get my revenge on you Uzumaki…" she slowly glided her hand over her lightsabers, thinking how to slay the boy down that humiliated her.
Elementia orbit.
A fleet of separatist ships with Count Dooku himself just arrived. With an army big enough to burn Konoha to the ground. But that wasn't the reason why Dooku was here.
A droid told to Dooku "Count Dooku, Miss Ventress has just came in contact with the Root team."
"Good, make sure to keep the communications with her. I want her on the exact place I want her to."
"Roger roger." The droid walked away before the tactical droid approached him.
"My lord, you have an incoming transmission from Lord Sidious." An tactical droid started spoke.
Dooku stood up and said "Patch him through." The droid complied his order and Sidious' hologram appeared in front of him.
Dooku went on his knee and bowed to him "My lord."
"Count Dooku." Sidious began "Is your army ready to launch the assault on Konoha?"
"Yes indeed my lord, we are about to attack the village." Dooku replied as of this moment, landing crafts were loading up with droids and tanks.
"Good, I want you to find Uzumaki…destroy his home, don't try to kill him."
"But master, why do you want me to lead a full scale invasion on his planet? We have other alternatives to dispose him…"
"You don't see the picture do you my apprentice? Uzumaki was a shinobi in his youth, meaning he full well is aware of his surroundings, So letting your assassin take care of him is out of the question. Also killing him would turn the tide against us with his rising popularity." Sidious was losing his patience with the failures of Ventress and many others of Danzo's Root agents trying to take out Naruto Uzumaki. Dooku and Sidious both know that he was becoming a nuisance to their plan. To be fair, they never expected him or his ALF Revolutionaries to become so big that they could be a threat to their goals to rule the galaxy. So killing Naruto was out of the question, but taking out his image was another thing…
"And hopefully with this attack, Uzumaki will be filled with such rage that he will join the Clone Wars, making him be sucked into the image that the Republic is weak."
"And he will be seen as another corrupt man who doesn't stand by his word." Dooku smiled "A brilliant plan master."
"Indeed, so don't disappoint me my apprentice, or there should be severe consequences." Sidious' hologram went off.
Dooku turned to his tactical droid "Prepare my ship."
"I will my lord."
Back with Naruto
Temari was pouring tea inside the cups of her brother who recently joined in.
Every Jinchuuriki now sat around the table and talking was something that wasn't happening.
Like they were taught, all 6 jinchuuriki who didn't knew Naruto started to examine him for themselves. They only saw him shoot someone in the middle of a square in front of a public, now he was in one room with them.
Naruto turned to Temari and smiled "Thank you for the tea Temari dear." Naruto said "but I think right now I need to talk with my guests alone."
"Sure Naruto." Temari replied as she exited the room and left them alone. Leaving room to talk among Jinchuuriki.
Rōshi was the first to speak "So Uzumaki Naruto right? You've made yourself a name out there didn't you?" remarking to his status as 'The Revolutionary Fox'
"Oh that." Naruto chuckled "That's nothing, I just took the first step. Besides I'm just one man. You must be Rōshi right; Jinchuuriki of the 4th tails right? You're family of that guy Han right? Holder of the 5 tails?" he pointed at Han.
"Yeah, how do you know?"
"A family member of yours I believe named Kurotsuchi had challenged me to an fight."
Upon hearing this, Rōshi grabbed his head and groaned "Urghh! That girl can be a fool sometimes.."
Han on the other hand laughed a little bit "Come on uncle, it's Kurotsuchi who we are talking about. This was meant to happen anyway."
"Guess you're right." Rōshi then asked Naruto "So what are you trying to say? You don't want to fight."
Naruto shook his hands in protest "No that's not the problem, I must just say that right now won't be the right time, something has come."
Yugito smirked "What? Scared of girls who can fight?" she questioned Naruto.
Naruto turned his sights to Yugito when he heard that and saw she wasn't a bad looker, that look in her eyes. That of a tiger ready to catch her prey "So you must be Yugito right? Holder of the 2 tailed cat right?" Naruto asked with a sly smile.
"That's right." She leaned her shoulder against the table and stared off against Naruto "And you didn't answer my question. Are you Scared to fight women?"
Naruto smile grew bigger "No I'm not," He stared down to Yugito and examined her "And from what I heard, you are known to put men who looked at you the wrong way in the hospital for wounds on the 'private parts'"
Most of not all men crinch when they thought about what he meant. Knowing fully well what Yugito was capable of.
"So you heard of mine reputation, so what do you think?" the blonde woman asked, crossing her legs.
"You are… a dangerous woman who has fury in her eyes but a likely taste of milk. Like a real cat." Naruto said as he referred to Yugito's drink, she was the only one who drank milk.
Yugito half smiled "Is that an compliment?" She asked, liking where this was going.
"You pick but I guess you already know the answer." Naruto said to her.
'This kid is alright…' in her head she licked her lips.
'I like this kid Yugito…take him to your room and don't release him until he shows his furyyyy-' purred a voice inside Yugito head and girl she couldn't agree more.
Utakata blew some of his bubbles out "Are we going to continue the introduction or what?"
Naruto turned to "Of course. Let me guess, you are Utakata the six tailed jinchuuriki." And then he turned to the tanned girl with green hair "And you are..."
Fu suddenly started to blush and began nervously to introduce herself "I-I'm Fu, the seven tailed jinchuuriki."
For everybody who knew Fu, this was rather unexpected. She was always the happy-full confidence type of girl, but when she looked at Naruto for a split second…
'Hmmm, seems like you are falling for him aren't you little one?' a voice inside Fu said.
As she instantly began to talk back to her partner 'S-Shut up Chomei! It's just I never was able to see him from up…close…' she had to admit she had admiration for Naruto's actions, but when she met him face to face for the first time…
Naruto smirked and gave an eye smile "Good to meet you Fu. You sound like a friendly and caring person, I hope we can become great friends."
She began to blush slightly, trying to hide it by drinking her tea and looking away for a second.
"Yo! Nine-O!"
Naruto turned to the last Jinchuuriki he had yet to meet. It was the big dark-skinned guy with the sunglasses.
He began to rhyme "My name is Bee, Killer Bee. I am number eight you see! Came from the same village like Yugito Nii! She said she saw you shot someone in front of a crowd, dude tryin to threatened yo' fam and ya! Gotta give respect for the dude that holds Kurama!"
The room went silent as they were waiting for an respond from Naruto.
"Damn it Bee." Yugito face palmed, the last thing they needed was to have an embarrassing introduction.
Naruto smiled "Nice to meet you Bee, like your rhyming."
'You must be kidding me.' Kurama sweat dropped.
"Respect brother! Let us fist bump each other!" Bee extended his fist. Naruto stood up and bumped his fist.
'Well Kurama, looks like you found yourself an interesting jailer, haven't you?' Hachibi, the eight tails spoke.
Kurama smirked 'Well I don't have a boring life, I can say that much.' Referring to the adventures, the fights and the wild nights…
"Now that we got that out of the way, we now can-" Naruto didn't finish his sentence, gunshots riddled through the door. Missing the target that was Naruto.
He quickly ducked and pulled out his blaster and pulled the trigger multiple times, aiming at the door.
The door opened and there stood an Root agent with multiple blaster wounds on his chest and a dropped gun. The man dropped down on his face as his body started to bleed.
The Jinchuuriki came out of their cover and saw that Naruto now stood over his body with his blast aimed at his body.
Gaara went by his side "Naruto what was that?"
"Looks like it has begun." Was the only thing what Naruto said before his communicator went off and Naruto answered it "Yeah Hudson."
"Naruto! The separatists have started their invasion on Konoha. They are at the gates and the Shinobi are trying to hold them back. But the enemy forces are already fighting on top of the Hokage building."
All the Jinchuuriki except for Gaara stood shocked on what they heard.
They started witnessing what Naruto's respond was going to be "Alright, spread the word to the militias; support the shinobi on defending the village. Tell the men their target is the Hokage building. Do you have any word on Admiral Ackbar?"
"Yes he just arrived and his fleet is already fighting against the Separatist fleet, just before they could set up their blockade around the planet."
"Good, and civilians casualties?"
"They are at a minimum but we managed to bring them to safety thanks to the Hokage."
"Alright that's one less thing to worry about, I'm going to the Hokage building." Naruto said as he exited the room to go to his bedroom, getting some of his weapons.
"Copy that, Hudson out."
Naruto knew that he was being followed by the other Jinchuuriki which he paid no attention as he reached his closet, he opened it and pulled out a box.
Han asked "Uzumaki, what is going on?"
"Separatists had planned to do an surprise attack on Konoha. luckily we knew what they were planning and we prepared everything, the Kage's know all about it." Naruto took his lightsabers and hidden blades and put them on his belt "I fear me coming here is the reason why they would do such a thing after I have foiled much of their plans."
"What about Temari? The others? My nephew?" Gaara asked with concern.
"Don't worry about her, I've made sure she, Hinata and my children is in a save location. Neji and team Gai are protecting them, they are in safe hands. For the other girls, they are ready…" Naruto knew that some of the girls, especially Tayuya and Sabine were planning to create something…special for the unwelcomed visitors.
Then 2 Rangers came rushing inside the bedroom "Naruto Uzumaki?"
First the Jinchuuriki were about to take out the 2 unknown men until Naruto said "Did Foley send you two?"
"Yes sir, Jay Halstead reporting for duty, this is Mouse. Hudson wanted us to support you "
"Alright." Naruto reloaded his blaster and walked past the Jinchuuriki "Let's go."
Before he exited his bedroom he turned to the rest "You guys wanna help take out these assholes?"
Gaara nodded "Okay, I'll join."
Yugito smiled "I'm in."
Roshi sighed "It appears we have no choice, I will join you."
Han cracked his knuckles "Count me in."
Utakata blew his bubbles before saying "when shall we go?"
Fu was full of excitement and exclaimed "Let's do this!"
Bee started rapping "They better not attack my Karaoke Bar, or else I'll put thos fuckers down!"
Both Americans looked at each other and said "Strange people."
"Let's go folks, move out!" Naruto said as he and the others started to leave the house. Entering the battle of Konoha.
