Chapter 37 The Leaf
Danzo walked into the council room early in the morning. "So Danzo why have you gathered us together so early in the morning?" asked the head council member Hiashi Hyuga
"Ya, I didn't get to see my son before he went off to train or even eat breakfast." said Ino as she sat in the Uchiha council seat holding a glass of orange juice.
"Honorable council member I have been up all night trying to confirm this and I am afraid I have no choice but to confirm that our Hokage Sasuke Uchiha has died in battle." Said Danzo as the glass in Ino's hand fell to the ground shattering on impact.
"What?" asked Ino as she jumped to her feet.
"Sasuke Uchiha died at the hands of Naruto Namikaze." Said Danzo as Ino slowly fell into her chair to stunned even to cry.
"Its ok dear." said her father Inoichi "We will get him, I am sure our armies over there will avenge their fallen Kage."
"I am afraid they will not." Said Danzo "One of our supply ships go close to the Rose Village to see that it had fallen to our enemy and that means most if not all of our forces there are captured or killed."
"Our entire forces?" asked Shikamku Nara
"Yes, and to make it worst we got two messages this morning." said Danzo
"What are they?" asked Kiba
"One was the confirmation of enemy forces landing in wave, Naruto Namikaze at the head of an army made out of the nations mostly of Ice, Blade, Moon ninjas and the largest fleet ever seen." said Danzo
"Wave that is only a two day march from here if they are taking their time." said Hiashi
"Correct and we no forces that stop then until they reach the wall." Said Danzo
"Then we must send messages out to recall all forces in the lands we have under our control and get our allied the Sand to sand forces." Said Hiashi
"I have already sent orders to call them back but most will not get here in time and as for the Sand that is the second message we got, they attacked our border last night and they are now only a two day march from our walls." Said Danzo
"The sand too?" asked Shikamku as Danzo nodded "They must of planed this."
"Yes, they did." said Danzo as he threw a photo on the table "Your son Shikamaru Nara was at the head of the attack."
"So we have two armies that will reach our walls in two days our less and we have no real force that can stop them?" asked Kiba
"We have the ninjas here and myself we will hold them until the forces from the other villages arrive." said Danzo "And I have a plan that will bring Naruto to his knees and once he falls this army will be leaderless and wide open to an attack."
"Cut of the head of the snake and the body will die." stated Hiashi
"Yes, but this is Naruto he defeated Sasuke." Said Kiba
"NO HE MURDERED HIM!" yelled Ino as she finally got the information though her head and started crying uncountable.
"I am sorry that you lost your husband Ino but there is no need to have more people die." said Kiba "I have to say we have to ask for terms for peace?"
"Are you crazy this is a demon he would show no mercy to us!" yelled Hiashi
"I know Naruto and he would show us mercy, he doesn't want bloodshed." said Kiba
"I want bloodshed." snapped Ino "He killed my husband and he needs to pay for it."
"I will make sure he pays." said Danzo as an aid ran in.
"Lord Danzo!" yelled the aid
"What is it?" asked Danzo as the aid held out a scroll which Danzo took from him. He slowly opened the scroll and his head dropped.
"What is it?" asked Hiashi
"Reports from our forces in the other nations. They are under attack by rebel forces and the new Grave village they are under attack by forces from the moon village so they can't come to our aid." said Danzo
"An attack on our home and uprising in our controlled lands. My son planned this for sure." said Shikamku Nara
Meanwhile Naruto was jumping from tree branch to tree branch with a squad of ANBU in the lead behind him was the army under his command. Mostly Ice and Blade ninjas the Moon ninjas had stayed behind to guard the ships, their Kage along with ninjas from mountain, demon and bone country where attacking the new Grave village on the coast of lightening country.
Behind them was the built of the army. Sakura was in the middle of the group with the rest of the medical squads. "It fells so strange." Thought Sakura as she looked at what felt was the spot where the old team 7 was attacked by the Zabuza the first time. "It brings make memoirs and not all of them good. At this rate we should reach the Leaf sometime tomorrow night."
A day later there was a mix of panic, fear and hidden joy in the leaf as the sun came up in the leaf, during the night the Ice army had arrived and had set up camp. The normal villagers where afraid of Naruto's army and who may die, however their was a hidden joy with the lower classes that Danzo's reign of terror might be over. On the outer wall Danzo, the few ANBU left and other upper level jonnin stood looking out at where the Ice had made camp.
"I will get Naruto for what he has done to my family." said Ino as she stopped a blonde hair man in the mass of enemy.
"No Mrs. Uchiha leave him to me." said Danzo "You can't beat him I can."
"He killed my husband I will end him!" yelled Ino
"Then return the favor." said Danzo as he pointed pink haired woman near the blonde hair man.
"Sakura." said Ino as she got what Danzo was saying. "He took away my husband so I will take away his wife."
Just then an ANBU arrived. "Sir."
"What is it?" asked Danzo
"The Sand is here." said the ANBU
"Gaara long time no see." said Naruto as he held out his hand. Gaara quickly took his old friend's arm.
"Too long." said Gaara "My ninjas are ready to go when you are."
"Well our ninjas are setting something up so we have some time." said Naruto as two people walked up. His eyes widened as he looked at them.
"You seam surprised Naruto." said Iruka
"I thought you where dead." said Naruto
"We are far from dead." Said Shizune as Sakura walked up.
"Naruto the medical tents are set up and ready." said Sakura she didn't notice Shizune or Iruka at first but that didn't last for long. Her eyes widened as she realized who they where. "But I thought?"
"We are not dead." said Shizune "In fact if you want I can handle the medical tent if you want to go with your husband into battle."
"Shikamaru told you right?" asked Sakura
"Yes, I did." said Shikamaru as he pushed his way forward. "Now what is your plan Naruto?"
Hours later Danzo still looked out at the army that was now outside his city. Over the pass few hours the enemy had moved so now they surrounded the village. "What are you planning Naruto?" thought Danzo
"Sir I brought your lunch." said Hinata as she held up a plate with her bosses lunch.
"About time." snapped Danzo as he reached for his sandwich but before he could do anything multiple explosions shook the wall as large points came crashing down.
Meanwhile Naruto smiled as four huge holes opened up in the outer wall of the Leaf Village, his ANBU had done a great job in playing the paper bombs without being seen. Now it was his turn.
"Follow me." ordered Naruto as he made his way toward the largest opening in the wall.
Deeper in the village Ino sat at a food stand eating lunch but she was interrupted when explosions ripped though the village. Ino didn't even pay as she and the rest of the ninjas who had taken a break for lunch started to run toward the battle.
Danzo got up just in time to see Naruto stabbing a chunin in the heart with a kunai. The two Kages eyes locked from across the battlefield.
"Sakura lead them into the village." Said Naruto to his wife as Sakura saw Danzo
"Just make sure he dies." Said Sakura as Naruto jumped up so that he was on the other side of the destroyed wall. Danzo and Naruto stood across from each other with the opening in the wall caused by the explosion.
"Danzo." said Naruto
"Namikaze." said Danzo
Meanwhile Sakura and the rest of the Ice and Blade ninjas pushed deeper into the village. Most Leaf ninja's didn't have experience going up against ninja's like the Ice and the Blade and as such the leaf was falling back and fast.
Sakura sent a leaf ninja flying into a wall with a chakra enhanced punch.
"Sakura look out!" yelled Katara as she jumped to Sakura's blindside blocking an in coming kunai. Sakura and Katara looked to where the kunai came from to see Ino standing there with a look of pure hate on her face.
"Hello Ino." Said Sakura
"I am going to kill you forehead. Your husband killed mine so I am going to kill you." Snapped Ino as Katara laughed "What are you laughing about little girl?"
"My Dad didn't your husband." said Katara as she turned on her sharingan "I did."
"How can you have the sharingan?" asked Ino
"Because Aunt Ino my real father is Itachi Uchiha." said Katara with a smirk "Sakura I would say keep going forward in the attack but there is a woman on top of that building who looks like she wants to kill you just as much Ino wants to kill me now."
Sakura looked toward the building to see Hinata standing there. "Great Hinata." Thought Sakura
"She probably wants us dead so she can be with Naruto-kun." said Inner Sakura
"Ya, so now we have to show her that isn't going to happen." though Sakura
"Alright let's do this!" yelled Reiji as he and Saito prepared for battle.
"No this is something we must do alone." Said Katara
"Katara-Chan?" asked Reiji
"She is right brother, you and Saito keep pushing in." said Sakura "Go."
Reiji and Saito knew it was almost impossible to change one of their minds yet alone both of them so they moved deeper into the village.
"You can't win Danzo." stated Naruto defiantly
"I can't win but the village still can." stated Danzo just as defiantly
"How, we have you surrounded and your outer wall has fallen." said Naruto as he pointed toward his forces which where now flooding into the village "You can't stop us."
"How? That is simple kill you." said Danzo with a grin
"And how are you going to do that?" asked Naruto "There is more then fifty years between us, I think I can beat you in a fight."
"If you fight me yes." said Danzo "But I am not going to fight you."
"What?" asked Naruto a little confused.
"Sasuke taught me a few things that his former teacher Orochimaru." said Danzo with a grin as he ran though hand signs. "Let me show you."
Slowly out of the ground came five wooden boxes. Naruto's eyes widened as he relieved what the boxes where. They where not boxes they where coffins. Slowly the far right box opened to show an old man in armor.
"The 3rd?" asked Naruto as the third Hokage's eyes snapped open.
Before he could say anything the far left box opened and an old man with long white hair stepped out.
"Perry Sage?" asked Naruto as he looked at his long dead master.
Next came the box right beside him. There was the woman who had saved him and had given him a chance to escape the Leaf when Danzo took over.
"Tsunade?" asked Naruto as the 5th's Hokage's eyes snapped open. The sound of the opening of the final two brought Naruto to look at the them. They opened at the same time. In the one closets to the 3rd Hokage stepped out a beautiful woman with long red hair and a head band he had never seen before. His eyes widened as he figured out who it was but he just couldn't bring himself to say her name. Naruto then looked toward the middle box there stood the man Naruto had always admired when he was a kid. His blonde hair was a match for his own and in almost every where he matched Naruto only the marks on his checks and the red at the tip of his blonde hair. Quickly Danzo placed kunia in the back of their heads sealing the justu and bending them to his will.
"It's my Mom and my Dad." Thought Naruto as he scanned his new enemies. "Danzo is using the people I loved the most against me. He is making me fight them."
"You are not going to say hello to your parents, demon? You have never seen them before have you?" asked Danzo
"What is going on?" asked Kushina Uzumaki as she looked around.
"I brought you five back to defeat someone you all know." said Danzo as he pointed toward Naruto. Instantly Minuto and Kushina's eyes widened as they noticed who he was.
"Naruto?" asked Kushina as she looked at her now full grown son. In fact he looked older then them.
The man just nodded his head.
"You don't have a leaf headband?" stated Minato
"I can explain that, see your son was declared an enemy of the Leaf." said Danzo
"Only because he brought the real traitor Sasuke Uchiha back half dead!" yelled Tsunade
"No matter he is the enemy of the Leaf and now you will kill him and then destroy his army." Ordered Danzo
"Army?" asked Kushina
"I am the Aisukage of the village hidden in the Ice and your Hokage Sasuke Uchiha started a war with us and now that we are going to end this you pull this." said Naruto
"I will do what I have too in order to win." explained Danzo
"I am surprised you didn't bring out Sasuke, Itachi or even Orochimaru." said Naruto
"Well you would enjoy fighting them but these five they are the people who you love." said Danzo "The weak 3rd Hokage who showed you kindness when you grew up. Your sensei and godfather Jiraiya, the woman who treated you like a son the 5th Hokage Lady Tsunade and last but not least your parents. Kushina Uzumaki the most gifted ninja ever to come from whirlpool country and Minato Namikaze the 4th Hokage the best ninja this village ever produced. Naruto Namikaze of the Ice village you are up against five of the strongest ninjas ever to be and to make it worst there is no way to kill what is already dead. You can't win and I can't lose."
"There is always a way to win." said Naruto as he got into a stance.
"I am sorry about this son." said Minato as he got into a stance. Kushina as crying as she was forced and the others got into a stance.
"I know you wouldn't do this if it wasn't for the justu." Explained Naruto
"Less talking more action!" yelled Danzo "Attack and kill Naruto Namikaze."
Well I hope you liked the first chapter of 2010. Now Naruto must fight the people he loves, Katara vs. Ino and Sakura vs. Hinata. Now starting on Monday I begin classes again so I will need time to get used to my new classes so I don't know when I will be able to update again. Thanks for the reviews and I ask that you keep on reading and reviewing. Thanks Wilkins75.
