Chapter 6 – Help Arrives
"Get ready for this one." One of the Sand ninja's said to his comrades around him, they had remained behind at the gates. Sasuke and Mari were already preparing themselves with another Katon technique while Naruto's clones were positioning themselves around and outside the gates, Mairiel was doing some hand seals for her bloodline limit, although she couldn't do it to the extent that it killed the opponent she could do it to more than one person at a time, Yukai was beside her also performing seals.
"Cat grace technique!" Yukai could now use cat-like abilities to her advantage, her teeth and nails had gotten that little bit sharper and her hearing was to its best ability that a usual cat could use. Her clan had a feline gene or so it was said.
Mairiel got the attention of a few close by enemy ninja, about nine of them, that would do for now.
"Deep Fear Technique." Her pupil-less eyes looked like they got a bit duller in colour as she concentrated more, her enemies now froze in their spots as they felt uneasy now. Mairiel was hoping she could them freaked out enough to get them killing each other, while she done this Yukai was backing her up. She was digging deep, piercing the minds of her opponents and seeing what they feared the most, some of it being what she'd see as silly but nevertheless she created the most horrible images she could think of and put each of them into an illusion state. There was screaming shared among the enemy that caught the attention of some other enemy ninja as well as allies, as expected a couple of them had began attacking each other, Mairiel had held a temporary illusion for a few seconds before turning the illusions onto the nine she currently trapped within it. The enemy saw at least one of their friends as their most dreaded fears and was driven to kill it however, she wasn't going to be able to hold the illusion for much longer. The technique used up a fair amount of chakra and could only be held for a couple of minutes at a time. She let go of the illusion, a couple of the ninja now lay dead on the floor while the still living ones had escaped with a few major wounds on their bodies.
She decided to just finish the remaining four off by using a combination of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. A couple of the enemy ninja had been terrified of what they saw, and had tried to avoid coming into contact with the girl from the Thunder village. The attack on the Thunder village hadn't gone well at all, all of the ninja who had been sent there were all killed and so they'd all been instructed to attack Konoha as soon as they could so they could move onto the Sand village then re-attack the Thunder village, but not everything seemed to be going as planned.
Even more enemy ninja were beginning to pile into Konoha, there'd been a lot of injuries done to the Konoha and Sand ninja's and only a few remained all over the village at the sites of the attackers.
"Damn it all to hell." Sasuke hissed, he was running low on Chakra as was Mari. Their only hope now was that the rest of the Thunder village ninjas would make it to Konoha on time. Gaara was nearly out of his Chakra to since he used a bit of it earlier.
It wasn't long until most of the groups were fully out of Chakra, even though the enemy was weak there were just too many of them coming in at once, it seemed that the enemy was indeed quite large in number but a lot of them had different hitaiate symbols on their foreheads which meant there was more than one enemy village from the same country.
"Crap I'm completely out, and I'm exhausted." Naruto said, heavily breathing now. With Tsunade having to attend to the wounded she wasn't going to be able to help out with the attacks.
"I still have some left, but I don't know how many of the enemies I can take out with this technique." Dea said she and Uka had come from the other end of the village to help out.
"Give it your best shot." Yukai panted while blocking and returning fire of weapons.
"Hai…" Dea performed five simple hand seals quickly and picked out the large number that were in range of her.
"Sakura no Tatsumaki…"
Her targeted opponents would see nothing but darkness and her for the time being, a mix of fear and confusion would fill their minds making them not sure of what to do. Within the next few –what seemed to be – minutes they saw brightly coloured Sakura petals falling from above, the image of the user slowly fading out of their sight. The petals began swirling about in no breeze. Dea was beginning to mould the chakra into the petal images, and as she did so they began to swirl faster and faster around each of the enemies.
The enemy would now be seeing nothing but pink Sakura petals charging around them, it was like they were trapped in a tornado of petals. Dea finished moulding the petals and now done the main attack that the illusion had. Petals began to shoot across from either side slicing at the opponent, whether they hit a major vein or a vital part of the body was unknown. While the enemy were trapped and screaming at the sharp petals, the group had regained a bit of their breath and began to attack again. The minute in reality was up for Dea's illusion technique. She'd managed to weaken a great number of the enemy even though she'd now used up all of her Chakra.
"Right let me give this another try…Kagebunshin no jutsu!" Naruto shouted, creating a lot of clones but not as much as he had hoped to produce.
"Agh that took it right out of me again."
"Hn, baka." Sasuke mumbled at him as he took out some shuriken and kunai.
"Ne the numbers seem to be going down fast from the outside." Mari called to them. Sakura looked up from her stance next to the Uchiha girl and looked outside the gates.
"Could it be them?" She asked.
"I hope so."
"It is them!" Mairiel smirked from the other side. Finally her village had shown up.
"Yo!" Kentariel said from behind them. "Sorry we took so long."
"It's alright just find the remaining enemies in the village and take them out." Mairiel smiled.
"On it," Kentariel replied before heading off with a few of the others to the northern end of the village. Mairiel was approached by a male who looked a little like her.
"Oi, good job on holding out this long." He said.
"Aa," She replied, she had expected maybe a little more of a compliment from her older brother. Phanexiel had decided to stay with her and the other Konoha and Sand ninja while the remaining few teams from the Thunder had gone into the middle of the village where the attacks were beginning to get more out of hand. He'd taken a look around and spotted what he supposed was the work of his younger sisters Deep Fear technique, it looked like she'd managed to get a first kill but not as much as he could have taken out. He scanned the rest of the enemies he could see and didn't even have to attract their attention as he began performing the hand seals for the Deep Fear technique. As soon as he done them all and concentrated he'd managed to take out over fifty of the remaining enemies around the area within the first minute. That was the true power and secret behind the Kitsume bloodline limit technique. They didn't have to get the attention of enemies, they just had to make sure it could stretch far enough within the range it had, the range of it being how many of the enemy they could see. Kami and Elijah had shown up just as Phanexiel reached his limit for the technique.
"Took you two long enough." He said, managing to irritate Elijah easily.
"Why you son of a…"
"Elijah cool it, we're here to fight the enemy not Phanexiel." Kami said holing the other boy back.
"We've cleared out this side, we should go attend to the other sides and help out there." Kami said to the others about him.
"We should split up into groups." Sasuke said,
"Right… you lot go to the west side, you five to east side, we'll take the north and you seven take the middle. The rest of you attend to the injured."
"Hai."
The two Uchiha, the two Kitsume, Gaara, Naruto, and Sakura headed towards the middle area where indeed the fight was much worse, since they'd regained their strength and a fair amount of chakra they got straight into the fight.
x. X ok let's get something straight. I'm not all that great with fighting scenes at all so don't mind them xD
