Interlude: The End is nigh Beginning of the End

Himawari looked up at the falling 'debris' in blissful ignorance of what it really was. She turned to her mother and aunt, observing their active byakugan. Seeing this she activated her own and used them to get a closer look at the 'debris' and finding herself suddenly gripped with fear.
Elsewhere, Sarada stood with Boruto who looked up with his own byakugan.
"Boruto, what do you see?" The debris was alive, there seemed to be two kinds. The ones covered in a thin lifelessly pale flesh, and the ones covered in a death black metal. It was just as the demons finally hit the ground that the true panic finally set into the people of the world. A mass of them crashed into the buildings across from Himawari and her family and like falling water they surged towards them like a wave.

"Run!" Hinata took her daughters hand, pulling her away from the scene rapidly. In the rush, Himawari dropped her ninja headband on the ground behind them. Despite the hell unfolding around her, in the moment that was all that mattered, the sound of it hitting the ground was like glass shattering in her heart. As Himawari and Hinata ran forward away from the conflict Hanabi turned back.
"Eight trigrams: Vacuum Palm wall!" Using both hands she was able to knock back most of the demon wave chasing them, in the mix she could see the people that didn't make it away from the demons. Or what was left of them. Some of the demons she repelled had filled their mouths with flesh of fellow leaf ninja, Hanabi
swallowed her heart turning her back to join her family.
"Hinata… do you want to fill me in what the hell is going on?!"
"I don't know Hanabi… really."

Elsewhere, a young girl cried, struggling to pull her mother from their fallen home. The mother pleaded for her daughter to leave her, and save herself. Whether out of love for her mother, or her own fear. She was unable to do as her mother wished. A group of demons soon swarmed over them, teeth mere inches from the girl.
"Water style: Rasen blast!" A bullet of rushing water tore into the demon, sending it into the rubble. Boruto quickly rushed towards the demons, with his long sword in hand. He wielded it in a reverse grip behind his back, an unusual stance to be sure. He made a gesture with his free hand, which under his jacket bore a wrist bracer like Sasuke's, using this he summoned a second long sword into that hand wielding this one in a normal fashion in front of his body.
"Sarada! Get the civilians out of here!" Boruto shouted, activating his byakugan. Sarada jumped down next to the girl and used her chakra enhanced strength to lift the debris off of the girl's mother. She took both of their hands and ran them away from the area. The demons pursued but Boruto got between them. Running towards the demons he began to spin on the spot.
"Eight Trigrams: Uzumaki Hyuga style, rotating blade dance!" Boruto cut through the demons with both swords, using his byakugan Boruto was able to safely turn away from attacks and still see them, easily blocking with one sword and continuing his rotation to attack with the other. Boruto had spent the month since he awakened his byakugan perfecting this new sword style, partly inspired by the gentle fist and killer bee's own kenjutsu. Sarada made a series of handsigns before biting into her finger and thrusting her hand down onto the ground summoning a large hawk, she brought the civilians onto it before ordering the hawk to take them somewhere safe.

One of the demons that Boruto had just been fighting crawled forward, unable to use its hind legs in its current condition. It lifted one arm before biting into it, releasing a massive burst of orange energy. The energy created a dust cloud which for a moment hindered Sarada's view, but Boruto was able to see what stood inside with his byakugan. The demon had grew massively, it now easily towered the surrounding buildings, or what remained of them. The demon brought one arm and swung it down to grab the blonde ninja, the attack was faster than he anticipated but it was still easily dodged. Sarada rushed forward, jumping over Boruto and into the large demons face. She punched the larger demon right between the eyes, knocking it down with her enhanced strength. Once it was on its back and before she landed herself she used a fire style jutsu to incinerate the demon.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"I don't know Boruto… I really don't know." Both ninja were suddenly alerted by more flashes of orange light in the distance.
"Boruto, can you?" Boruto nodded, dropping his sword and forming a hand sign. Concentrating his chakra he used his byakugan to look far into the distance towards the source of the light to see more large demons, towering over other ninja.
"Yeah… it's more of those large… well whatever these things are."
"Boruto, I am going to help out over there. With my skills I'm better equipped to handle the large ones, you should use your byakugan to find anymore trapped civilians and get them to the evacuation shelters." Sarada turned away from him, preparing to head out when she felt his hand gripping her wrist and pulling her back. He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face into her shoulder.
"Don't die."
"Don't you die on me either, promise?"

Across the village, other ninja fought against the invaders. Shikamaru, alongside his most trusted student, Mirai Sarutobi fought against a large group of colossal demons. He bound them using his shadow possession jutsu before she used her wind style nin-taijutsu to cut them all down.
"Mirai… this attack is unlike anything the village has faced before. I need you do something for me." Shikamaru said sternly.
"What is it, shikamaru sensei?" Shikamaru took something from around his neck and forced it into his students' hand.
"Continue helping with the evacuation, and no matter what happens. Make sure this key stays in the hands of the living."
"But sensei… what about you?!"
"I'm going to meet with Choji and Ino, work on taking out as many enemies as we can."
"But sensei-!"
"Go, Mirai!"

"You... who are you?" Gaara asked of the 'Ninja' before him, although he received no answer.
"Is this why the hidden mirage requested this? Simply to try and kill the five kage? And declare war on the union?" The raikage followed with his own questions.
"There is no village hidden in mirage, is there?" Naruto spoke up, being the only one to gain a response from the man.
"Naruto, what are you talking about?" Gaara asked, not following Naruto's logic.
"He isn't from a hidden village, he isn't even a ninja. You are from another universe, another reality aren't you, Zembala?"
"Oh? How unusual, how do you know this?"
"Right now, when you summoned your reinforcements, they came through the void. The space between realities."

"It seems that this universe has some knowledge of the multiverse that is rare indeed. Yes, I am from another universe, we set up the pretext of a hidden village in order to gather Intel and draw the leaders of the villages to a single location. To kill you." Zembala then zipped about the room, like a blur moving too fast for the shinobi to follow and began knocking them down. Once getting back on his feet, Naruto entered his six paths chakra mode. This time, when Zembala began moving again he Naruto noticed something odd. From his perspective, Zembala was no longer moving fast, he seemed to be moving at a normal pace but everyone else around them had begun moving much slower, barely moving. Now unaffected by whatever technique Zembala was employing he moved rushed towards him, noting that he had still slowed down significantly. Grabbing zembala, he threw him across the room.
"Don't think this will be easy, we shinobi don't go down without a fight." Naruto boasted, although zembala merely laughed in response.
"Good, I love a challenge."
