'Thoughts' "Speaking" Author's Notes "Bijuu Speaking" "Telepathic Talking"
=Chapter 3: Fight!=
=Third Person=
The Konoha nin landed on the edge of the seal, facing the group of rogues standing before them in the middle
"Give yourselves up. We have you surrounded." Shikamaru stated.
'So this is them, they all thought the Orange Flames of the Sun. That group of ninjas everyone is talking about,' they all thought.
The leader caught their breath under their hood as he saw them. His old friends. 'Neji, Hinata, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Sakura.'
He sighed at this tricky predicament before giving out his instructions. "Hare, pinky's yours. Bird, you get the boy with the Byakugan and Dragon, you get the girl with the Byakugan. I get Ino-Shika-Cho," the leader stated.
"Hai, Leader-sama."
=Back at Hokage's Office=
"Danzo-sama, a message from the ANBU watching the ninja you sent out. They have encountered the Orange Flames of the Sun, the outfits match the memories of the Kiri ANBU we found."
"Send reinforcements. We musn't afford them getting away."
"Hai." The ANBU disappeared in a flicker.
'You won't escape me this time,' Danzo smirked. 'You will show me your true identities and all of your secrets.'
=Konoha Group and the Orange Flames of the Sun=
The two groups stared each other down, each emitting killer intent. They waited for the other to strike first.
The wind rustled before Hare got impatient and started the attack. She charged at Sakura forming a few hand signs.
"Ice Style: Black Dragon Blizzard!" The dragon shot towards Sakura, who reared her punch and shot forward, breaking the dragon into pieces.
"Eh? They broke my beautiful dragon into pieces? You will pay for that! Ice Style: Icicle Swallow!" Hare jumped back and threw several ice senbons at Sakura. Sakura just jumped back, causing the field in front of her to be littered with spikes. "Now... if I'm correct, you specialise in close range attacks, ne?" Hare laughed. "You don't stand a chance!"
"Who says I specialise in close range attacks?"
"Eh?" questioned Hare before her eyes under the hood widened before jumping backwards and doing hand signs for defence. "Ice Style: Glacier Wall!" In one swift motion she brought her right hand up and with it, water rushing out of the ground before freezing over.
"Cha!" The ground shook, dislodging all the senbon and causing trees to be uprooted. The ice wall cracked in pieces but still stood from the force of the attack.
"You're not gonna beat me if that's it!" Hare called out from behind the wall.
"Under assuming your opponent is a great weakness!" Sakura weaved some hand signs. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
=Bird's Fight=
Bird flickered on top of a tree and taunted Neji to face him as he disappeared, flickering to more and more trees further away.
Neji, not going to be shown down by some rogue, rushed quickly after him before landing in front of a tree opposite Bird who was idly brushing some dirt off of his cloak. "You want to start? No? Then I'll start."
Neji did not respond but instead activated his Byakugan. 'His chakra... it's so odd, like... something is drawing power from it?'
Bird seized this and rushed towards Neji unsheathing a katana and bringing it down above the Hyuga.
"Eight Trigrams Rotation!" Neji spun causing Bird to back off. "Heh, you can't get close to me at all with my Byakugan."
"Who says I can't?" A shadow clone grabbed Neji's foot from the ground while the real Bird wove some more signs. "Lava Style: Scorching Stream Rock!" Burning rocks shot out of the real Bird's mouth heading towards Neji.
The Hyuga hit the clone on the head before channelling his chakra to his hands. "Eight Trigrams Air Palm!" he called as a blast of wind erupted from his hands and clashed with the incoming burning rocks.
"Bad choice. Didn't you get taught chakra natures? Fire is strong against wind and lava style is part fire. You're going to get burnt."
The attacks collided with the wind enhancing the flames of the rock and fading away with the rocks still heading towards Neji. "Eight Trigrams Revolving Heaven!" Neji spun, the attacks collided, dispersing the fire but leaving a Neji with burnt hands.
=Dragon's Fight=
"Lightning Style: Quartered Burst!" Lightning shot out of Dragon's hands and headed towards Hinata.
"Eight Trigrams 64 Palms Defence!" The lightning was split into two parts destroying the trees behind them. "Eight Trigrams Twin Lion Palm!" Blue lions appeared on Hinata's wrists and she charged at Dragon.
"Absolutely pathetic. Genjutsu: Cursed Mirage."
Hinata stopped in her track before shaking her head to break free of the genjutsu.
"So the Byakugan can break out of genjutsu? Interesting, then this shall be an interesting fight. Lightning Style: Burst of the Dragon!" Dragon brought his hands forward before lighting burst from his hands as it did before but more powerful and menacing.
It surrounded him in a cloak before taking form of a dragon's head in the sky with the neck its neck extending and features visible. Multiple different coloured scales and razor sharp spikes trailed down it before the dragon roared.
Dragon pointed at Hinata who got her lion's palms ready. Lightning crackled in the sky before charging towards the Hyuuga whose Byakugan started raging more.
"Dual-Layered Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" She spun while emitting extremely thin chakra from her hands and moulding two overlapping nets of chakra to her defence as the lightning dragon hit the barricade.
"That won't be enough!"
=Leader's Fight=
"No distractions, fight me, Ino-Shika-Cho. I've heard your strength is legendary."
"You made a mistake fighting us on your own," Shikamaru stated, walking towards the leader, holding his hands in the rat sign. His shadow flung out and paralysed. "Even if you are a seal master, you cannot escape the Nara's shadow possession jutsu. Ino, control that person."
"You won't get me that easily," said the rogue, almost taunting them.
"Mind Transfer Jutsu!" Ino yelled before being transported to the leader's mind.
She found herself in a yellow sewer with water dripping from the ceiling. 'This is odd, I've never seen a mind like this. It's so... different...'
The water seemed to be flowing in one direction so she followed it round the mindscape until ending
'What is this place?' She looked around her and saw nine large gates, all open; behind the gates she saw a sandstorm and a desert, a bamboo forest, a large lake, a volcano in a rocky region, a forest, a cave, a mossy forest, tall mountains and what looked like Konoha with no faces and no village.
'What on the shinobi lands is this place?'
"You dare enter this mind?"
"Oh look, we got a visitor!"
"I'm aching for some blood..."
"I want to burn them to pieces..."
'What. Is. Going. On?'
"Release the jutsu or you'll get it. And don't even think that they've knocked out this mind yet."
"No point thinking about it. We can read your thoughts."
'You have 10 seconds before we devour your mind."
"Go on and release the jutsu, or you'll regret it yo!"
"Alright, five seconds left, Yamanaka."
Ino wisely listened to the voices and came back to the real world. 'Mind Control Jutsu: Release!' She came, sweating all over. She watched as the leader only smirked.
"Ah, so you've met my friends eh? Release me from this jutsu or you're all going to get it."
"Choji! Get them!" Shikamaru yelled.
"Partial Expansion Jutsu! Smash!"
The hand reared back and went for the leader.
"You asked for it."
Chakra exploded from the leader, knocking back the shadow and the punch. "It's been a while since I've had to do that, and man I tell you, it's refreshing!"
Ino-Shika-Cho could feel the menacing gaze under that hood as the leader crossed their arms. Chakra emanated from the hooded figure as the ground seemed to shake and the wind whistled.
"Now, let's see you dance some more."
=Hare's Fight=
"Ooh! Leader-sama's getting serious! Should I get serious? Hm..." the hooded figure was pouncing round the place getting all hoppy at the feeling of getting serious. "Yes I will! No I won't... Yeah I will! No! That's a bad idea!"
'She's insane,' Sakura thought. 'There's no way she hasn't been serious yet. If this person is strong, how strong is Kits- Kitsune, was it?'
"It's settled! I'm going to be serious now!" Hare exclaimed in glee. Under the hood, she narrowed her eyes before laughing like a maniac and saying words of doom. "Ice Style: Ice god's Spear of Judgement!"
=Bird's Fight=
Neji was still standing but increasingly tired. Bird had worn him out but had barely broken a sweat.
"You're insane."
"No. I'm strong."
Suddenly, the trees shock and a war cry was heard from a certain spandex-wearing enthusiast. "YOUTH!"
"Lee? You're the one coming to my rescue?"
"Yes Neji and I don't have my weights on! The power of youth shines within me!"
'This... it's a mini Gai.' Bird could only sigh. "So you're my opponent. Oi, Dragon-san! Come help me out over here! I don't last at taijutsu!"
"Alright sheesh I'm coming over... good grief dude." He packed his scroll and nonchalantly walked over. "I'm getting payed for this right?"
"Nope."
More flickers through the trees as more Jonin and Danzo's ROOT ANBU arrived at the scene.
"Ah you've got to be kidding me! You win again Kakashi!"
"Focus on the task Gai!"
Dragon only walked forward, dismissing the unconscious body of Hinata laying on the ground in front of him, before radiating immense power. "Give me a good challenge!"
"Seventh Gate of Shock! Open!" Both student and master yelled as Dragon smirked under the hood.
=Leader's Fight=
The leader had barely broken a sweat against the exhausted Ino-Shika-Cho with the trio launching multiple attacks against the hooded rogue but had no luck.
"Formation E!" called Shikamaru in one last final attempt to land a hit.
Shikamaru used his possession to swing Choji around like a yo-yo while Ino was showing the Nara his surroundings. The leader easily dodged the attack as he pondered on what to do next. End it? Great idea.
"I'm going to end this. I'm bored, and you all aren't putting up a good fight," the lead Orange Flame said before sending out a burst of chakra and knocking back the attackers. "Hare, Dragon, Bird, come back!"
They disappeared from their respective fights and appeared in a triangle formation around the leader. "Hai, Kitsune-sama."
'Kitsune?' That one word raced through the minds of the Konoha-nin that were now arriving and perched on the edge of the seals.
"I bet this seal's just for show. Only true seal masters could do something harmful, not some random rogues!" said Ebisu as he walked nonchalantly into the seals, not taking any attention to the wide-eyed ninja around him.
"Oh it doesn't do anything... yet," said Kitsune, smirking once more under the hood. "Would you like it to?"
"Try me, rogue." Ebisu narrowed his eyes under his glasses at the hooded rogue in the centre before being electrocuted and being held by an invisible iron grip. He screamed in pain as he was thrown back towards a tree.
"Who doubts me, Konoha?"
"Kitsune of the Orange Flames, you are to be restrained and come to Konoha. Do not resist or action will be taken!" called out a random ROOT ANBU.
"Your stupid leader really thinks he can get me that quickly? Tell him to think again." A large burst of chakra came from Kitsune as the sky darkened around the area with lightning crackling. "I- no, we will show you how wrong you can be in this world."
"Ice Style: Ice God's Spear of Judgement!" Above Hare's head, she held her arms up as the water formed a large spear in the sky before freezing over from the whipping wind with intricate patterns being cut into it.
"Lava Style: Fiery Depths!" The trees around the area set alight with the leaves dropping down to the ground and being reduced to ash.
"Combination Jutsu: Hydra Burst!" Dragon placed his hands down on the ground before the ground cracked in three places with three translucent dragon heads with a serpent-like neck erupted into the sky, coloured brown, red and yellow.
The three heads roared before gathering chakra in their mouths and firing it down at the Konoha-nin. Hare did the same and launched her ice spear at the ninja, before two grey spheres of pressure exploded into the sky and blocked the incoming attacks.
"Hirudora!"
=Ten Miles Away=
Four figures were walking towards a source of noise until two grey shock waves erupted into the sky.
"SASUKE-KUN! SAVE ME!" A redhead jumped onto an certain Uchiha's shoulder in fear before swiping her away like she was a fly.
"Quit being so annoying will you Karin?" Suigetsu handled his sword and got ready to cut Karin in half.
An orange-head clutched their hands as black marks spread across his face. "Heh! There's a fight going on! Let me at them! I want to see blood! Ha! Come here and fight me imbeciles!"
"All of you shut up. Let's just go over there and check it out."
They felt the two huge shockwaves from the Hirudoras and looked up. This time a pure white light beam shot up into the sky and expanded in all directions, vaporising more trees and rocks.
"Rikudo Power," the lead wanderer clutched his hand.
"Rikudo Power? You mean from the legendary Rikudo Sennin?"
"I thought that was just a myth Sasuke-kun?"
A bunch of rocks got torn apart, courtesy of an orange-haired psycho. "Someone's super powerful! Let me at them!"
"It's not a myth," the raven-haired sighed. "Asura. You're here." He brought up his left hand and admired the moon mark on it.
"Asura? Who's that?"
"Your cousin."
"Cousin?"
"Well, I don't know who his parents were but he's an Uzumaki for sure."
"So I'm not the last of my kind- wait. How did you know I was an Uzumaki?"
"You're both arrogant and loud," was the emo's reply before blocking every single one of Karin's punches. "Let's go and stop wasting time here. We cannot know for sure if Konoha isn't here."
=Back at the Fight=
The smoke and debris cleared, leaving the Orange Flames completely unharmed, standing completely still and overlooking the destruction around them.
"Hare, Dragon, Bird. We're leaving," their leader said bluntly, biting his thumb. "Reverse Summoning Jutsu!" The four poofed away and no one heard the last words of the leader. "Well done Konoha, now for the real fun to start."
"They didn't faze one bit! Their flames of youth are brighter than ours! Lee, as our punishment we must do 50, no 500 laps around Konoha on our hands!" Gai yelled.
"Hai, Gai-sensei!" Lee yelled, determination brimming in his eyes, setting it alight.
"Gai. You know Danzo-sama won't be happy at this right?" Kakashi pointed out, forcing Gai to collapse on his knees.
"As another punishment Lee, the day after our first punishment we must do 50,000 push ups and sit ups followed by 5 laps around the village on one finger!" Anime tears fell from his face as he stood there collapsed on the floor. "Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
They cried anime tears while calling each others names all the way back to Konoha. Kakashi just reading his Icha-Icha and most of the Konoha-nin pondering: 'who was this Kitsune?'
So how did I do?
Good? Bad? Awful? Amazing? Tell me!
Please add suggestions if you want, I'll consider them and maybe incorporate the ideas.
See you later: Ja ne!
