IXXX: The Crush Part 3

(Uchiha Compound)

Shisui, Fugaku and Butsuma had held back. They were going to by the Children Protection Squad time to get to the children and make their defence. They were also going to buy time for the Uchiha's who were heading for Konoha itself to have a headstart.

"Be careful, Husband. Cousins." Mikoto warned as she set off with her clansmen on her heels.

"We will, Cousin Mikoto." Shisui and Butsuma chorused. In the Clan itself, Shisui was something of an oddity. His Patriarchal lineage could be traced back to a non-Uchiha woman who Uchiha Butsuma had slept with during the warring clans era and on his mother side he was the grandson of Uchiha Madara through the mans eldest child: his daughter whereas Mikoto was descended through the surviving son.

Due to this, Shisui should have been relegated to the cadet branches of the Uchiha Clan, but Mikoto's father and mother had adopted Shisui into the main house and had declared to the entire clan that the blood of Uchiha Kagami, Shisui's ancestor would take their rightful spot as they so rightly deserved in the main house.

Yes, there were protesters, but Shisui proved them wrong time and time again. Yes, he strayed the path of being a ninjutsu powerhouse but instead, decided to utilise and master the basics. He was the second fastest shinobi in the village, an A-rank in the Bingo Book and had a family. All in all for Shisui, life was good.

Shisui smirked and faded out of existence, to reappear behind two Root ANBU and easily slice their necks. "You, realise Shisui all you're doing is weakening the Great Tree."

"Sometimes, you've gotta lose a few roots. Sparing the child by soiling the rod…Danzo, for your crimes against Konoha and the Uchiha Clan…you're dead." With that Shisui vanished, reappeared in front of Danzo to vanish again.

Danzo, was impressed. He'd never show it but Shisui's skill with such a rudimentary jutsu was breath-taking. Shisui; in Danzo's opinion was one of the few true shinobi in the world, not obsessing over new techniques; but honing everything he possessed. It was a shame that most of the clan, seemed to follow the weak and pathetic teachings of his old friend, Sarutobi.

Hiruzen had been a formidable shinobi, but in Danzo's opinion a weak Kage. A Kage had the responsibility to make sure their village was strong. Yes, Konoha could never field the armies that Kumo could or even the mobs of Iwa. They were not inherently bloodthirsty and sadistic as Kiri; nor were they puppeteers and poisoners of Suna. They were known for their team-working, working in tight close squads, jack of all trades and masters of none. That didn't mean that members of each squad had their own specialities, it was based on the mission and the skillset that determined their approach.

The Konoha ANBU forces both on tours of duty or back in the regular forces were much healthier and less prone to psychological breaks.

Danzo grabbed his cane, unfortunately for Shisui; Danzo was still a formidable shinobi. So when the Speeding Uchiha clashed with the one-armed and one-eyed veteran, the cane managed to deflect a few of the strikes but one or two slipped by and cut the cloth.

Fugaku, fell back. A kunai skimming by his neck, he exhaled a fireball in retaliation. That was two more dealt with. Butsuma was sweating heavily, the three of them had fought in the Third Shinobi War. They knew what fighting was, they had let themselves become sloppy or rather Fugaku and Butsuma had,

"YOU BASTARD!" Shisui roared. KI rose and Shisui's exceptionally dense chakra became visible. Fugaku gulped, the only two people he knew who made chakra visible were his wife and Namikaze-Uzumaki Kushina, his former teammate.

Fugaku made his way over to Shisui. His own eyes narrowed, his sharingan flared and morphed "Shimura Danzo…you will pay." For in front of them was Danzo Shimura, possessing two arms and two eyes, however the arm was transplanted with a few sharingan along with one in the eye.

Shisui stilled, his mangekyo appeared and he focused. He focused on his wife; Rei and his two children Tensei and Fuyumi and how he would do anything for them "Susano'o!" and with that bright emerald green chakra erupted.

(Mikoto et al.)

The Uchiha Clan, entered Konoha and dispersed like a wave breaking on rocks or shoreline. Where Konoha-nin were falling back, they found Uchiha passing them and fighting back.

Konoha had been on the verge of turning the tables on the invaders, however with the arrival of the Uchiha Clan the counter-attack began. Mikoto was the first one to be identified, as she landed in front of a pair of Genin, clad in a skirt and blouse and her sword on her waist. With fluidity and grace, that could come with training she unclipped her sword and hit the Oto-shinobi in the gut with her hilted sword, his colleague launched himself and Mikoto stepped to one side, hitting him in the head with her sheathed sword.

"Who is she?!"
"Get the bitch!"

"My Family name is Uchiha, my Given name is Mikoto. I am Uchiha Mikoto, Head of the Uchiha Clan, Jonin of Konohagakure no Sato and I will not permit your insolence any longer." Mikoto stated as her blade came loose and with a calm nonchalance, the two jonin died.

"For Konoha and the Uchiha!" She shouted as the same battle cry echoed from around her although 'And the Uchiha' changed depending on who shouted it.

Mikoto turned to see, three Suna-nin launch themselves towards her, only for them shudder as three shadows punctured them from the back. "Nara Hidenjutsu: Three Shadow Stabs." A rasping voice stated as Mikoto saw her shadow convulse and an Albino Nara appeared.

She turned to see a few more die. Two by their colleague who then slit his own throat and one's skull just…dissolve…for lack of a better word under an earth club. "Lady Uchiha, Team Ino-Shika-Cho; Ghost Squad; Shadow Initiative reporting for duty."

"Also known as Team Errant." Mikoto commented. She knew of these three, hell they'd worked together previously.

"Shall we, boss?"

"We shall. Gasper, into my shadow. Hida look bulky and Gasper…get rid of the cigarette and get some clothes on."

Gasper looked at her, ground the cigarette out "Personally, a naked guy with a machete more terrifying than a shadow strangler and earth golem."

Mikoto rolled her eyes and smiled. Her three subordinates were good at what they did. "Gasper is right…Time to get to work."

(Team Seven)

Sasuke and Hantei were sweating buckets. The Sand Siblings had been no push over. Sakura was with them, breathing heavily. Sakura hadn't been idle, since her one-to-one training session with Naruto-sensei, she'd been slowly reaccumulating lost mass due to undereating.

She was now becoming a more effective Genin. However, right now they were stuck. Gaara had changed into this…this Sand Thing "I don't have anything that can stop him." Sasuke stated.

"I might…Probably end up in deep, deep shit with Dad, Naruto and Jiraiya…KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" Hantei shouted.
