Episode 24: The Invasion Has Started

A few months later...

-Naruto's Apartment-

Naruto was sitting at the dining table of his house while eating a taco with his right hand. On his left hand however was the card that kept bugging him, the Neo-Decade card.

The card that kept bugging him from the day he obtained it and it kept giving him nightmares in his sleep. The moment he finished said taco, Natsuki came out of his bedroom while wearing a red polka-dot patterned pyjamas and announced "Ohayou Naruto-nii!"

Naruto choked up the Taco he just finished and spit it out. As such, Naruto muttered out "Hey- Oto-uto.!" Natsuki being the caring little brother that he is, went up to Naruto to give Naruto a pat on the back to properly swallow the remnants of the Taco in his throat.

As he properly swallowed it, Naruto went to cough a little bit more and said "Water, I need water!" Natsuki nodded at this and quickly went to the sink counter to grab a glass . He turned the tap opened into the glass to fill it up.

The younger Kadoya then ran up towards his adopted brother to hand over the glass. With this, Naruto took the glass and looked like as he was about to tip it over to his lips. Only for him to smile and threw the glass of water into Natsuki's face.

As the quite small amount of water splashed into Natsuki's face, he sighed and said "Yare yare daze..." Naruto chuckled at this and said "So you've met Jotaro-niichan, haven't ya?" Natsuki solemnly nod at this and said while wiping his soaked up face with a nearby cloth.

Naruto then smiled at this and said "Anyways, I should go get us some groceries as most of stuff are about to run out." Natsuki nodded at this as Naruto put on his usual civilian clothing and got out.

As he closed the front door of his apartment, Naruto took a deep breath and thought "I have a bad feeling about today. I mean, I haven't heard anything from Natsumi ever since she decided to go on that trip with Jiraiya." Naruto then placed both of his hands into his pockets and thought while smirking "I'm probably worrying about nothing..."

Boy was he wrong...

-Meanwhile in an undisclosed location-

A man with orange spiky hair wearing the usual Akatsuki cloak was seen thinking to himself as he got all of his 5 other versions of himself. They all had orange hair, piercings and spiky orange hair alongside their Rinnegan eyes. The most notable one being Tendo as it was the first body that Nagato the wielder of the sacred Rinnegan Kekkei Genkai, controlled after his friend Yahiko's death. The 6 of them were the Six paths of Pain.

Tendo Pain then said "So, everyone knows what they're supposed to do?" With this, his other paths simply nodded and Tendo announced "Very well, let's do this.."

The moment he said that, they all shunshined away from their spot as a familiar pale-skinned man wearing a white suit, a black/red mantle with long snowy white hair was observing the Paths. This was Doctor Shinigami. The General of Dai-Shocker.

The General simply chuckled and said "Go ahead and do your duty Pain, so that Dai-Shocker can live long and PROSPER!!!!"

-Back in Konoha-

Izumo and Kotetsu were playing a game of card while smoking some cigarettes. Izumo then said as he got a card onto his deck, "Dude, I'm really getting bored from doing the same duty over and over again.." Kotetsu nodded at this but then shooked his head and said "There's nothing we can do, dude..."

Both Chunins then sighed, but then suddenly heard a crashing noise. With this, both Chunins when to check it out only for both of their souls to be ripped out by one of the Paths of Pain.

As their souls were ripped out, a pedestrian who witnessed the event unfold quickly ran the opposite direction while screaming which alerted the nearby Anbus who were on duty.

With this, a group on Anbu shunshined at the spot and the leader who happened to be Itachi simply shouted while unsheathing his Tanto "You are under arrest. Come with us peacefully or there will consequences!"

Ningendo Pain, who was apparently just there simply took out a Kunai and ran towards them with tremendous speed...

-Meanwhile with Naruto-

Naruto had just gotten his stuff from the grocery store in two large paper bags. As he was about to walk back to his apartment, the same random pedestrian stopped right next to him, tugged on Naruto's sleeve and said "Naruto-san, I-i-i just witnessed Izumo and Kotetsu being murdered!"

Naruto seemingly shocked as who would do such a thing only for his thoughts to be cut off as he heard a giant explosion.

With this, Naruto knew what he had to do. He placed his Decadriver on his waist and said "Thank you for telling me... I'll go avenge them now."

The young rider then ran towards the source of the explosion

-Meanwhile in the Uchiha estate-

Sasuke and Sakura were now in the state of nature as he and Sakura had just consummated their relationship.

Seeing that most of the Uchihas were on missions. They've decided it was okay to do the deed. Thankfully Sakura was on the pill. So, it was fine.

The young couple were now seen sleeping while cuddling with each other on Sasuke's bed. But their slumber was cut short as they suddenly heard a loud crashing sound nearby.

With this, both of them quickly put on their Shinobi clothes and ran out of the door.

Only to witness Naraka Pain using it's king of hell technique to interrogate random civillians about the whereabouts of Natsumi.

The shinobi couple then saw that they were other civillians nearby but all of them were laid down onto the sandy ground motionlessly.

With this, Sasuke flared out his Sharingan and said to Sakura "Sakura-chan, go warn the Hokage or other higher-ups that an Invasion had just begun!"

Sakura being the caring girlfriend that she is, tried to protest only for Sasuke to say angrily "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine!"

With this, Sakura simply nodded and left but not before she gave him a kiss on the cheek as a sign of "I love you, be safe."

Sasuke placed a hand on the kissed cheek and thought "I love that woman. She got me crawling for her..."

As he stopped his thought, he ran towards the path of Pain to give him a roundhouse kick to the head.

This caused the Naraka path of Pain to be dazed for a second only for him to stand straight up.

Sasuke simply smirked and said "I'll take you on with no problem!"

-At the Hatake Mansion-

Raito was now seen reading the newspaper while having a slice of toast at the dining table meanwhile Haku was now seen eating a plate of salad for some odd reason sitting right next to him.

As Raito was about to get up from his seat, Haku placed both hands on his shoulder and said in a shy tone "Raito-kun..."

Raito knowing that his girlfriend would usually speak in a shy tone only when the subject of the talk was very personal simply said "Waht is it?"

Haku blushed for a while and said "I need to te-tell you something..."

Raito grinned cheerfully and said "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

Haku nodded at this and said "But I'm afraid that what I'm about to say would cause you to faint.."

Raito shooked his head at this and said "Just tell me-" he then sat back down onto his seat and continued while putting away the newspaper "-It can't be that bad..."

Haku then took a deep breath and let it out. She then placed a hand into her pocket as she was wearing a pair of light blue sweatpants and a sweatshirt with the same colour.

Raito then started thinking "What could be so bad? I wonder..."

The moment Haku got out something out of her pocket, Raito knew what she was about to announce.

"Raito-kun, I'm pregnant!" she shouted as she handed Raito the pregnancy test.

Raito seemingly shocked by the announcement simply said "Wait, did we do this while after that mission about 3 months ago.. or.."

Haku sighed and said "It was after that mission about 3 months ago."

Raito then smiled and said "Ok...let's get through this-" He then clasped both of his hands on hers and continued "-together..."

Haku looked at him in the eye and said "You sure about that, Raito-kun?" Raito chuckled at this and said "Haku, we're 17... We are basically adults already. So, let's move in together and live on with our lives there..."

Haku nodded at this and proceeded to lean in towards Raito in which he proceeded to lean in as well. As each other's lips got close, Kakashi in his sleepwear which was a black tank top and a pair of blue sweatpants walked down from the stairs and announced "Ohayou!"

The young couple then quickly let go of each other's grasp while blushing. Raito then quickly said "Ohayou, Tou-san!" Kakashi chuckled underneath his mask as he walked towards the Kitchen to witness Raito and Haku basically staring at each other dreamingly.

Raito then turned towards his dad and said "Hey dad, my girlfriend and I was just-" Only to stopped when him and Haku saw Kakashi's only visible eye widening.

The young couple then both facepalmed as they've forgotten to put away the pregancy test. Which explained his reaction.

Raito then quickly stammered "D-dad, it's not what you-" But was interrupted by his father's eye-smiled and the latter said "It's ok, Raito. Your mother and I had you when we were just 16. So, I can't really blame you as you and Haku-chan couldn't stop not having physical contact in an hour."

Raito and Haku then jawdropped and quickly blushed by the ending statement given by the Jounin. Kakashi then happily sighed and went into one of kitchen cabinets to grab a cheque book.

As he grabbed the cheque book, he quickly grab a pen which was near the sink and started filling it.

The older Jounin then ripped the page and handed it to Raito. Raito then looked at the amount of money written and widened his eyes.

Haku not being able to see it gave Raito a look that said "What does it say?"Raito then handed the cheque to her and Haku was the one to widen her eyes and shouted inwardly "50 thousand Ryo!!!!"

Haku then protested "We can't take thi-" But Kakashi raised his hand to give a comforting look and said "It's ok, I knew that you'll have to move out with your girlfriend Raito, eventually."

Raito then thought "50 thousand Ryo is a lot of money to even buy a whole apartment around here. I have to wonder what kind of apartment does my dad think that we should have?"Haku then humbly nodded and got up from her seat. She then said "Raito-kun, I think we should apartment hunting. Don't you agree?"

Raito nodded at this and said "Alright, let's go!" The young couple then left the mansion but not before bidding their goodbyes towards Kakashi.

Kakashi simply chuckled under his mask and looked towards the sky while thinking "So, my son ended up being like me in the end..." He chuckled yet again and went to make breakfast for himself only for a very injured Itachi to suddenly shunshined right in front of him.

Itachi was holding his bloodied right shoulder with his left hand. He had a bruised right eye and a split lip.

Itachi then muttered as Kakashi laid the younger ninja down "Kak-kashi-sempai, *Wheeze* we're being invaded...*Cough2*"

Kakashi nodded at this as he cradled Itachi in a bridal style and quickly shunshined towards the Konoha hospital.

-Konoha Hospital-

As Kakashi got there, the nearest nurses quickly got Itachi onto a stretcher and wheeled him away.

The moment Itachi was wheeled away, Kakashi quickly thought "Whoever are invading this villahe must be very powerful since they've been able to actually get Itachi in such a bad shape."

As the silver-haired jounin stopped his thoughts, Shizune came running towards him and asked "Kakashi-koi, what happened!?!?"

The masked Jounin then sighed and said "We're being invaded and I must go. The village needs to be saved!" Shizune nodded at this worriedly and walked away but not before giving her husband a quick peck on the cheek.

Kakashi then placed a hand on the kissed cheek and thought "Alright, time to do this!"

Kakashi then shunshined back to his room to get himself equipped. As he got into his Jounin clothes, he quickly shunshined towards the Hokage tower to inform Tsunade

-Hokage Tower-

As Kakashi got there, Tsunade simply nodded and said "I know, Jiraiya informed me about an upcoming invasion. So, gather our best shinobis and give them a battle they won't forget!"

Kakashi nodded and shunshined away. As he did so, Tsunade sighed and thought "Natsumi don't return just yet. This is something I'm not so sure your brother can handle."

Boy, was she right...

With Naruto...

"Haaa!!!!" shouted Naruto as he had gotten into his Proto-Decade armor while peforming a dimensional-kick towards the Ashura Path.

As the kick connected, the path of Pain was pushed back only for a few centimeters. But then, he kept his standing firm. Not only was Ashura Pain's stance firm, but also Naruto's foot was stuck on the Pain's chest.

Naruto's jaw dropped and was smacked hard in the side of the head by the path of Pain. As he was pushed back to the ground, he thought to himself, "Impossible! The dimensional kick should've destroyed him!!"

The moment he had finished his thoughts, he instantly got up and quickly placed a Kabuto card into his Decadriver so that he could close it. The belt then announced;

KAMEN RIDE: KABUTO!

Naruto then transformed into Kamen Rider Kabuto and quickly used the Clock Up! card. As time slowed down, Naruto quickly did some slashes towards Ashura Pain's chest, arms and legs. And as the path had blood spatter on every part of the body that was slashed, Naruto thought to himself "And for some reason this is working. What's going on with the Proto-Decade card?" His thoughts were interrupted abruptly when the Asura Pain suddenly shot a fist towards Naruto and since his arms can be a launching pad for missles, the missiles were shot out towards Naruto exactly after the Clock Up card's ability was over. Naruto barely had any time to actually dodge any of them.

With this, Naruto was blown a few meters backwards. As he got up, Naruto placed the back of his hand on the front of his mouth area while thinking "Looks like, I'll have to fight him without the Proto-Decade card."

-With Raito and Haku-

A few minutes of apartment hunting later, Raito and Haku actually decided on a simple apartment to live in which was near Naruto's apartment. With the rent negotiations were over, they left the apartment complex only to witness most of Konoha was being destroyed.

But what got both of them worried was when they saw the condition of the hospital.

It was in a very sorry state.

With no time to lose, the young couple ran towards the hospital. Raito was running with tears streaming towards his cheeks while thinking "Kaa-san, please be alright..."

-With Sasuke-

Sasuke was now seen grasping his injured shoulder while thinking "This bastard is powerful as hell." With the energy he had left, he stood straight up and quickly took out his mobilate.

The Naraka Pain sensed something was going to happen and asked "What is that?"

Sasuke chuckled as he coughed out some blood and said "This is a Mobilate something you're totally unfamiliar with. So get ready!"

Sasuke then grabbed his GokaiWhite key and flipped it open while shouting "Gokai Change!"

The ranger key was then inserted into the Mobilate and turned it as if wanting to start a car up. Sasuke then held the Mobilate infront of him and it announced;

NEO-GOKAIGER!!!

A white holographic X was then materialized in front of Sasuke and he then transformed into GokaiWhite.

The path of Pain simply got intrigued which caused Sasuke to smirk under his helmet. Both parties then ran up to each other to battle.

-With Sakura-

The pink-haired chunin literrally forced herself into the Hokage's tower and shouted towards her Medic-nin teacher "Shisho! Konoha's being attacked and-"

She abruptly stopped the moment she saw Tsunade who was looking towards the giant window of the room.

Tsunade then turned towards Sakura and said "Sakura gather all ninjas ranging from Chunins to ANBUs and get them to handle the threat until Natsumi returns.

Sakura nodded at this and sunshine away. The moment she left, Tsunade sighed and said "Give me a damn break!"

-In the Namikaze household-

Minato and Kushina wasted no time preparing themselves the moment Sakura called asking for help. This, here they were in their traditional Jounin outfit.

As they got prepared, Kushina asked her husband "Are you sure we can handle the threat that is coming?" Minato gritted his teeth at the question and said "It'll be alright, Natsumi-chan will be back with Jiraiya-sensei very soon and Naruto's very powerful."

With the reassurance by her husband, Kushina nodded with a smirk on her face and the married hiraishined to the battlefield.

-With Sasuke-

"Gah!!!" shouted the young Uchiha as he was stabbed in his armoured chest with a Kunai by the path of pain. Sasuke then staggered a few steps back while clutching his very injured chest.

He then thought to himself "He's no joke! He is very powerful. I need to do something about thi- Oh wait."

Sasuke then took a shot with his Gokai gun to distract the path of pain. As the plan worked, Sasuke quickly opened up the "Tatsuya key" and with extreme precision, he inserted the key into the slot to turn the key. The mobilate then announced;

THE IRREGULAR AT MAGIC HIGH SCHOOL!

Sasuke then transformed into Tatsuya Shiba and said while twirling around with his dual guns "I'll be frank, you do not want to mess with me now!"

Naraka looked at the young boy and tilted his head in confusion which Sasuke answered with a smirk "Because according to Tsukasa Kadoya, Tatsuya Shiba was dubbed by the "Fist of the North Star". His equal! " Sasuke then got into his stance and said "And you'll be the one who I will be testing that statement."

Naraka didn't know what Sasuke meant but he knew that he was scared shitless. Sasuke then charged towards him with tremendous speed. As he got closer, he went for a roundhouse kick to the face and then grabbed him by the waist from the back to German suplex him to the ground neck first.

Naraka growled in pain and that was when he knew that this is an invasion that may not be successful.

-With Raito and Haku-

Raito and Haku were standing there looking at the huge number of rubble which used to be known as the Hospital. The expressions on their faces were shouting "No! " As they saw a familiar figure who happened to be Shizune who laid motionlessly on the hard ground with her eyes widening.

Haku then quickly ran towards her and placed two fingers on her neck to check for any pulse. Raito then looked at his girlfriend with his eyes widening as a sense of hope only to see Haku stream some tears down her cheeks while mouthing out "Gomen..."

And that's a wrap everyone, hope you enjoy it this far and I know I still have a lot to work on. But it'll be fine... Anyways, stay tune for the next episode.
