The Shadow Wars
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A/N: Normally I don't do an A/N until the end of the chapter, but there was a question that needs to be answered.
In response to jpthug12's question: I have not yet decided who the Sixth is in this fan fiction. I may not even give him a name. Either way, as of right now, he is similar in role to the figures at the end of the first chapter (or how Orochimaru was when he was shown before the start of the Second Chuunin Exam, when he gave Anko the kunai she had thrown.)
Anyway, on with the story.
Chapter 4
"Kakashi-sama." Said Karasa.
"Yes, Karasa-san?" answered Kakashi.
"Hokage-sama orders you to ready your team. We are launching an all- out assault against the Hidden Stone Village."
"Yokai." Answered Kakashi.
*~*
Naruto was once again having his chakra drained. He struggles, trying to break the chains, but can't.
*~*
At Konoha, all the village's shinobi teams were getting ready, readying their gear. Only the ANBU in charge of protecting the Hokage were not readying their gear, yet they were more nervous than even Kakashi, who hadn't fought in an offensive raid for a while.
"Sakura, Sasuke, our team is the weakest as of right now. We're down to only three-fourths of our strength, what with Naruto missing. We'll have to move fast, since our team, despite being severely weakened, is in charge of taking our Zasookage's protective detail." Said Kakashi, who was doing his eighth debrief in a twenty-four hour time period.
"Hai, hai, Kakashi-sensei." Said Sasuke tiredly. Hearing the same idea repeated eight times by the same person tired out pretty much anyone.
"Sasuke, you're the swiftest when it comes to mass combat, so you're job will be to take our any guards surrounding Naruto, for, since it's obvious he's alive, he is being guarded to keep him from escaping. He's not the type to become a missing-nin." Said Kakashi. "Sakura, your job will be to stop any genjutsu going on, since I will be unable to stop it."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei." They replied in unison.
"I will attack the Jounin and ANBU." Said Kakashi.
*~*
"Hokage-sama, all the team leaders have reported that they are ready to move out." Karasa said.
"Right. Give the order." The Sixth responded.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
*~*
"All team leaders, assemble your members. We are beginning the advance!" Karasa ordered.
*~*
"Ah, Konoha has begun their advance. Good." Zasookage said. "Send a counterattack at the attackers. The primary target is Haruno Sakura. From what information we managed to extract from Uzumaki Naruto, she is very precious to him. If we have her, Naruto may just give in. Then, the whole planet will bow at our feet!"
"Yes, Zasookage-sama." One of Zasookage's advisors said.
*~*
As Konoha's shinobi army was walking toward the huge stone valley in which the Hidden Stone Village was located, a platoon of Jounin-level Stone shinobi attacked. Although Konoha's army was large, they could not handle the massive attack. The Stone shinobi used powerful Stone-Element jutsus that caused the huge army to splinter into eight separate groups. They then leaped into the gaps, slaying the Leaf-nins.
"Do you know what our target looks like?" one of the Stone-nins asked.
"Yes, of course. She has short pink hair and a large forehead." Another said.
*~*
Sakura, realizing that they were talking about her, used Henge no Jutsu and transformed into a Stone shinobi that she had killed. However, even with the disguise, the corpse would be a give-away that she was not the real one, so she hid it.
"Ah, Sagishi, how are you doing?" the dead shinobi's sensei asked Sakura. (A/N: Sagishi is the name of the Stone shinobi she disguised herself as. Sagishi is Japanese for fraud or swindler.)
"Very good, Sensei. You?" Sakura responded.
"Fine..." the sensei replied, realizing that something was strange about how Sagishi had responded. Suddenly, he threw a kunai at Sakura, which she dodged easily. Sakura then proceeded to drop her Henge and then countered with a jutsu of her own.
"Katon: Hono'o Kunai no Jutsu!" Sakura shouted, and instantly propelled eight kunais made of fire from her body.
Sagishi's sensei dodged all except one, which struck him in the chest. He flew back, a large burn on his robe. Sakura then teleported behind him and threw a Side Kick to his back. His scream was heard throughout the surrounding countryside.
"Tell me one thing, and I'll kill you quickly." Sakura said, her voice full of menace. This was one side that not even Kakashi had seen before, and he had his team watched throughout almost all their waking hours.
"If I refuse?" Sagishi's sensei asked.
"I'll cut you apart while you're still alive, starting at the foot and going up to your throat." Sakura responded.
"What is it you wish to know?"
"Where is Uzumaki Naruto being kept and what is the easiest method to get there?"
"I don't know. Zasookage-sama does not tell us Jounin locations of prisoners."
"Wrong answer!" This was said as Sakura was performing rapid hand seals, her hands moving so fast that the seals were unreadable even by Sasuke's Sharingan. "Katon: Hono'o Kunai no Jutsu!"
Once again, kunai made out of fire appeared around Sakura. They then all flew into Sagishi's sensei's body, killing him slowly and painfully.
"Henge!" Sakura said, once again becoming Sagishi. *~*
Can Konoha's army defeat the attack Zasookage had thrown at them?
*~*
A/N: I apologize for the delay in getting this chapter out, but I hope Sakura's brief fight made up for it.
