Chapter 15

Preparations and Allies

In the blacksmiths shops of Konoha, they were working around the clock to fix weapons and make extra ones. TenTen was one who worked in her father's shop at night after training with Team Gai since dawn. They made swords, kunai, shuriken, katana, scythes, axes, and various other pointy weapons. In the food and water area, they are being rationed for in the extreme case of Konoha losing to Orochimaru and him taking over. It would be for those who are still in hiding and safe.

Meanwhile in the office of the Hokage, Shikamaru and Shikaku were working on plans. Tsunade was reading a report rom Ibiki and some more information he found out through their prisoners. It seems Konoha's enemies are Orochimaru and Otogakure (Sound), Akatsuki (Minus Itachi), Iwagakure no Sato (Stone), and Kumogakure no Sato (Cloud). Konoha also has allies. Sunagakure no Sato (Sand), Kirigakure no Sato (Mist), Yukigakure no Sato (Snow), and Amegakure no Sato (Rain). Ringo and Miki have defected to Konoha's side and now nuke-nins to Kumo and Iwa. Every other country seem to be neutral.

Akira, Hoku, Haru have to fight seeing as how their allies to konoha know, but it is not a problem. Ronin and Kiyoshi are fighting with them as well, even though they don't have to. Hiroko said she be there, so she will be there. Itachi to mostly everyone seems to be on Akatsuki's side, but Tsunade knows better and had to tell Shikamaru and Shikaku.

"So, here is the plan," said Shikamaru, handing the papers to the Fifth. It was a simple yet effective plan. Most of it was in Shika's handwriting. To sum the whole plan up:

Front line in the North are the Konoha Jounins, ANBU, and ½ of Suna's ninja

Center are Konoha Chuunins, and the Yuki's ninja. (It is easier for them to spread out in all directions to assist the others).

Everyone Hyuuga no matter the rank is defending the South and east ends with the other half of Suna-nin.

Medic nins are required to stay in the medic tents in the South, North, East and West locations.

Hatake Kakashi fights Kabuto.

Uzumaki Naruto and Sai locate Sasuke and either bring him back to Konoha or kill him.

Godaime-sama and Jiraiya-sama are to deal with Orochimaru.

Hoku, Akira, Ronin, Kiyoshi, Ringo, Haru, Miki are in the West with Ame and Kiri ninja.

"Good job you two," said tsunade, "I need some sake."

"Tsunade-sama," said Shizune, "Naruto is here to see you."

"Crap," said Tsunade, under her breathe, "Bring him in."

"Baa-chan," said Naruto, "Are Shika and his dad finished with the plan yet?"

"Yes," said tsunade, not in the mood for the loud ninja, "you and Sai are going after Sasuke if you have to kill him or not."

"I'm gonna bring him back and keep my promise to Sakura-chan," said Naruto.

"I know. Now everyone please leave my office I need a moment alone," said Tsunade, basically kicking everyone out of her office. I'm getting old. Sarutobi-sensei I'm going make you proud. Orochimaru will never take Konoha while Jiraiya and I are alive, what a bastard. Tsunade looked at the pictures of the Hokage before her.

"Grandpa, Great-uncle, sensei, Dan, Nawaki, and Yondaime I know everything is going to be alright. Look over us and the new young ninja who will make Konoha survive and make it better."
