The War Begins, Unexpected Alliances Appear

Naruto and Haku faced off with Orochimaru and Kabuto as the other represenatives revealed themselves as Sound-nin and formed a barrier around the four. Haku grunted as he took a fighting stance. Naruto looked to his friend, worried, but decided to let it pass as he caught a glance from the Mizukage. They both entered stances, ready for action. Orochimaru chuckled.

"You arent worth my time", Orochimaru laughed as Kabuto stepped back a bit. He made a series of hand seals and grinned widely. "Edo Tensai!", he shouted as two coffin things came out of the ground. They both opened and the two gasped at what they saw. A large man with nothing on, but cargo pants and two straps in an X form on his chest. He walked foward with the giant broad sword strapped on his back and faced Haku.

"I see you have gotten weak over time, Haku", the man said, coldly. Haku looked on, sadly.

"Zabuza-san", he whispered. The other coffin held a man with blonde hair and sunny blue eyes. He had a blue shirt with black pants as he stepped out to Naruto with a wikazahi at either side of his waist.

"Naruto...", the man said.

"The...Yondaime...", Naruto whispered.

"I bet you didnt know this, but...that is your uncle!", Orochimaru yelled,"Arashi! Zabuza! Kill them!" The two jumped at them.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Hinata jumped through the town at high speed, killing Sound-nin with kunai as they went. They kept running until Sasuke came to a roof top with two men standing there. They wore black cloaks with red clouds on them. They looked up and Sasuke got ready for a fight.

"You two run", he whispered. They both took off their hoods revealing themselves as a man with long black hair and blaring red eyes along with a man with fish like skin. The fish like one had a giant sword strapped to his back and black hair along with black eyes with white pupils. He grinned maliciously as Sasuke gawked.

"Should I take those two, Itachi?", the fish one said.

"No, Kisame", Itachi whispered,"Go off and find some others...The pink haired one seems like my brother's wife...Lets see how he handles defending those two while fighting me!" He got ready to fight as Kisame laughed and took off.

Neji, TenTen, and Lee jumped through the city, looking for any strong ninja they could pick off when they saw a group standing before them. Maito Gai stood facing two men in black cloaks with red clouds on them and another jumped down beside them. The trio jumped down to aid their former sensei as the three brought down their hoods except for the new one who had a fish like face.

"Kisame, we got these four", said a man with a slashed waterfall hitai-ate around his head.

"I really dont care, Kakuzu", Kisame replied,"Itachi wanted to take his brother on alone. What about you, Hidan?" He shrugs with a grin. Kakuzu had eyes similar to Kisame and had a kind of hood on that covered his whole head except part of his face for his eyes. He wore a black trench coat like Shino's as well. Hidan had his cloak opened from the fold, revealing a white shirt. His hitai-ate around his neck looked like rain, but no one got a good look at it. The three stood ready as they saw several clay models flying around, exploding on Leaf-nin. Neji activated his Byakugan and saw some chakra points on the birds. He looked at who sent them off and Kisame answered the question in his mind.

"Deidara", he said,"But we wont let you get to her." Deidara had long blond hair that covered his/her left eye and had a ponytail in the back. Nothing else could be seen underneath the Akatsuki cloak. "Oh, and Deidara is a guy, in case you couldnt figure it out", Kisame said. Neji looked at him, but the three in front of them clearly wouldnt let him go, but Gai attacked Kisame quickly while TenTen went after Hidan who held a big scythe on a rope and Lee took on Kazuku. The six began fighting, letting Neji take off toward Deidara. He almost made it when sand came down and Gaara looked at him.

"I'll take him", he said while going foward,"Take on another." Neji shook his head.

"We'll both take him", Neji said as Gaara nodded agreement.

Shino and Kiba jumped through the city as they approached a high chakra sign. They ran through it as Kakashi joined them and found two Akatsuki members. One had a venus fly trap like head and inside, a man's head. The head was half pitch black and half pale white. The other was a normal looking man in the cloak. To Kakashi's surprised, he was like one of his close child hood friends, but quickly dismissed it as he remembered Obito already alive. They landed in front of the two and got ready.

"Ah, Tobi, we have company", the venus fly trap one said.

"Yes, Zetsu", Tobi replied,"And another approaches...I want the Copy-nin and the newcomer." Obito landed beside Kakashi ready for battle, Sharingan blazing.

"Copy cat", Obito spat at Tobi,"Trying to pass off as me?" Tobi grinned, politly.

"Too bad you came back", Tobi said. Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino got ready against Zetsu until another jumped down.

"I'll take dog boy, Zetsu", a familiar face grinned. They saw he was a man with silvery white hair and had purple lipstick on, despite him being a man.

"Sakon?", Kiba yelled jumping to the side as to fight him,"How are you alive?"

"I'll explain in time", Sakon smirked.

Kitou, Len, Lao, Rin, and Shika all fought in the stadium now. Len looked over and saw a man in a black cloak with red clouds on it jumping toward Naruto and Haku's fight. She looked to her brother and he nodded so she took off. She saw a woman jump down in front of him though. She had hair that covered her forehead, but Len saw she didnt have a hitai-ate.

"You wont get near them, Rei!", she yelled.

"Ah, Nii Yugito shows herself again", he laughed,"You want to be defeated again?" She gets a kunai ready and crouches down.

"It'll be different this time!", she yelled and then Len jumped out.

"Shes not alone, either!", she yelled as Rei turned around.

"Ah, two Jinchurrikki wish to face the leader of the Akatsuki", he grins evily as he drops the hood. He had blonde hair with sunny blue eyes. He took out a katana and jumped away to eye both of them. "Come at me then!", he yelled, but another jumped down in front of him. It was a man with short blue hair, didnt wear a hitai-ate either.

"Sanbi, your late", Yugito said. Sanbi grinned a little.

"Better late then never, ne?", he asks as he goes into a fighting stance.

"And so a third Jinchurrikki comes to his death!", Rei yells, going into his own stance.

Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino were following two ninja who had been running. One was an Akatsuki member, the other a Sound-nin. The two finally stopped, turning around. The Akatsuki member had medium lengthed light black hair with the hitai-ate of rain on. The other was a bald man with a monk robe on. It had a white half with a black half over top of it. The monk guy got into a taijutsu stance while the Rain missing-nin just stood there.

"Aoi, which one do you want?", the monk guy asked.

"I'll take the girl", she said,"You can take those two, Chiriku." The two nodded as the three Leaf-nin got into stances.

Shinji, Tai, Yin, younger Sakura, Kurenai, Asuma, and Shizune ran around town, fighting off the ninja until they came to a group of Sound. Three ninja stood there. One was a woman with medium sized brown hair with light purplish dress under a blue dress outlined with white. The next one was a man with a black cap on and a mask covering his mouth with brown hair coming our of the sides of the cap. The last was a man a green mark over his nose, grey hair, and a tight black tangtop. They went into stances quickly.

"Kirisame", the one with the mask said.

"Murasame", the one with the mark over his nose said.

"Hisame", the woman said. Another man jumped down. He didnt wear a hitai-ate, but he had a beige bandana around his head as some black hair came out from the back.

"Suien", he said.

"Your late", Kirisame said. Suien shrugged it off and went into a stance. Then another man walked out. He wore a white trench coat with a yellow plaid shirt underneath and a black tie. He had black, sleek hair and really small eyes.

"You better do good", he said.

"Thats why you hired us, correct, Gantetsu-san?", Hisame asked with a seductive smile.

Raj continued following Hakera through the trees of the forest. He glared at his back as he ran. He finally stopped and looked back.

"This time you die, Raj!", he yelled, green chakra flaring.

"Not if I can help it!", Raj retorts, red chakra coming out.
