0930, Uzumaki Manor, Konoha Zone Nine
'What happened to Honoka?' ANBU Bird was shocked to see the red-haired girl sobbing quietly as she palmed a seal in the estate basement. Bird and his Team Tiger was the first to arrive here. If anyone could see behind his mask, they would have seen how much it pained Bird to see her like this.
Unbeknownst to everyone, he was smitten with the Uzumaki girl at first sight when his fellow clanswoman Natsu brought she and Tayuya to the Hyuuga Compound as Lady Hinata returned to the Leaf village from Kumo captivity. But those curse-seal-happy Hyuuga Traditionalists stopped him from getting close to the girl, and later he was heartbroken to know that Aoba Yamashiro became her boyfriend.
"Why does Lady Hokage wants all the ANBU to rally here?" He asked his captain Tiger.
"Everyone stationed at the Hokage Tower is dead- the enemy struck there first and destroyed our primary communication network. Those damned Sky flyers bombed the ANBU headquarter. Lady Hokage decides to set up command here."
No one could see Bird's widened and sorrow pale eyes behind his mask. His mind immediately ran through all of his comrades that had been stationed at the Hokage Tower, and each name was another knife in his heart.
'That means Aoba is dead… I'm so sorry for your loss, Honoka,' Bird thought in condolence.
Soon after the Uzumaki left her palm on the seal, a portal appeared, much to the shock of Team Tiger's. She entered the portal and the ANBU team quickly entered it as well, and they were shocked at the enormous space in this dimension- 400 hundred meters by 400 meters. The enormous space was empty.
The red-haired girl looked at the ANBU team. "Don't step on those orange lines, please stay clear."
The four ANBU realized that they were stepping on some lines. Now they noticed there were orange lines everywhere on the floor, and each line was a meter wide and twenty meters long. They moved away from the lines without a question, then Honoka touched a seal inside this chamber.
The orange lines glowed brightly, and hundreds of shelves raised quickly from the lines. There were dozens of scrolls stacked vertically and neatly on each shelf.
"Amazing" was the only word Bird and his ANBU teammates could say as they marvelled at what was occurring. Of course their amazement ended very quickly and they immediately snapped to attention when the Hokage entered along with other dozens of ANBU.
"You understand the plan now Fu?" Tsunade asked and the teal-haired girl nodded eagerly.
"Hai! Wow Honoka! This is the Uzumaki Clan Armoury!? You created this?" The Nanabi jinchuuriki was amazed at what she saw too.
"No, it's Naruto." was Honoka's answer. Everyone was amazed at the boy's skills on space-time fuinjutsu.
'Lord Naruto is indeed a powerful seal master in the world!' Bird thought in amazement.
"Attention everyone!" Tsunade announced. "Inoichi and Anko have extracted intelligence from several captured enemy ninjas, they are the Neo-Combine led by the traitorous Orochimaru! Composed of his Sound village, Kumo, Sky, Grass, Stone, Rain, Prajna, and the Iwa Gravemaker's faction. These twelve thousand ninjas are just their first wave! The remaining fifty thousand will arrive in half an hour! We are facing an army over sixty thousand strong!"
"My Kami…" Everyone was shocked and terrified at the scale of the enemy attack, and some ANBU were panicking behind their masks. Honoka Uzumaki was kneeling and was wrapping her arms around her body shaking heavily.
"The Combine, they are the army that destroyed papa and mama's village, and now they return to finish us off! They will loot and pillage anything they can carry then burn this village to the ground! They are going to rape, enslave, or kill everyone here and we are all going-"
Bird quickly hold her shoulders. "It's OK! Everyone is going to be OK! Lord Naruto is here! That snake bastard may have many ninjas, but we have Lord Naruto- The Golden Slayer! I'll always be there for you and I will protect you with my life!"
Everyone's eyes widened at ANBU Bird's words.
'Does he like her?' Some ANBU wondered, and some others even wondered 'Did he make some sort of confession?'
Honoka was shocked as well, she couldn't believe what this ANBU said. Let alone the confession, there was another important point in the ANBU's words. She thought her world was lost when Aoba was dead, but the ANBU reminded her that she still had another important thing- her surviving clansmen Naruto and Tayuya. They were her family, and they were fighting outside against many enemies. They needed her help, and she needed to pull herself together. A moment later everyone was glad to see fire and determination came back to the Uzumaki's eyes.
'Thank you, Tokuma Hyuuga. And… you have a feeling for Honoka?' Tsunade Senju wondered at her Hyuuga ANBU.
Honoka looked at the Slug Sannin. "Lady Hokage, all scrolls on the front section each contains at least one thousand tactical combat seals: explosive Havoc, incendiary Hellfire, and others. They can be tagged on the kunai ammunition for AK-16, just like Hinata's arrows. Naruto wants the Konoha defenders to use these Uzumaki seals to fight off the Combine, that's why he allows to open the Uzumaki Armoury for you and Konoha."
There were whispers and cheers among ANBU about the edge Naruto brought for the village, they made a mental note to thank the Namikaze after the battle.
"Thank you," Tsunade and everyone including Yugao, Tokuma, and the Hokage Guard Platoon bowed at Honoka.
The Fifth Hokage turned to everyone with determined eyes. "The village walls have fallen, and our forces are in disarray yet still holding the secondary defense line. I'll get Katsuyu to help us the communication across all the units in the village, so we will have an effective resistance against the invaders! Now, Teams Lion, Bear, and Panther! You take these scrolls and deliver them to the zone commanders. Captain Lion, you sort out the detail!"
"Hai!" The three ANBU teams acknowledged their order.
The Hokage looked at everyone again. "We have a village to protect, and Bird is right: Orochimaru may have a super army, but we have Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze! "

ROOT Headquarter
Before the Neo-Combine showed up in the Arena, the Konoha's Darkness had evacuated his most important allies- his Fire Court friends and the Hyuuga Traditionalists to the ROOT bunker. In this bunker they were perfectly safe. The bunker was 10 meters beneath the ground, and the roof of the bunker was filled with 3 meters of solid concrete. There were only two ways in and out of the bunker. One was by the main entrance which was secured by a dozen elite ROOT operatives and reinforced with surviving members of the Fire Daimyo's Royal Guard. The other was a hidden escape tunnel that would lead those fleeing straight out of the village.
Currently members of ROOT and the Fire Court staff were scurrying around back and forth in the small 30 rooms that comprised the bunker. Some of them were looking over maps trying to pinpoint the locations of the enemy and their own forces while others busy with the communications centers attempting to get into contact with allies across the Land of Fire.
Occasionally people would pause when the roof of the bunker shook, no doubt a large explosion happened topside. Then once the shaking finished, they all quickly returned to their work, none of them knowing how long they had before even here, in the very heart of the Darkness, they could remain 100% secure.
It was in the largest of the rooms, Danzo Shimura and his allies were listening the radio chatter across the village.
"This is Jonin Akira Jinnouchi to my Battalion J and other ninjas at Zone Five! The enemy has breached the gates and will be here in minutes! But here we are gonna give them hell and a pool of their own blood to drown in!" There was a roar of agreement in the radio.
"Zone One is overrun, the Zone One ninjas have regrouped with us and we are holding the position as long as we can! Lady Hokage we need helps ASAP!" Danzo recognized that voice, it belonged to Ichiro Ueda, the Battalion U jonin, who was also in charge of Konoha Zone Four.
"Hello? Can anyone hear me? I'm hiding in a house at Zone Three frontal district. Cloud and Rain ninjas are everywhere!" It was a civilian female sobbing on the radio. "I... PLEASE I need HELP! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"Turn off the radio!" Masashi Madako ordered. "I'm thinking about my coronation speech. Screw these commoners, they are not my concern!"
The Fire Prince's hands were spinning around his head, making everyone know that he disliked distraction. Danzo Shimura stared at the young man for a moment and then he turned and nodded his head, and Fuu Yamanaka obeyed and turned off the radio.
"Your Grace, on behalf of the Hyuuga clan, I'm sorry for the loss of your parents." Hideo Hyuuga, the Hyuuga clan High Elder spoke to the Fire Crown Prince, no, the new Fire Daimyo. Lady Shijimi and her Fire Daimyo husband were confirmed killed in the Neo-Combine's rocket attacks.
The new Fire Daimyo scoffed. "Hn, it's quite convenient they died! I never like my stepmother and Father was a weak ruler and he must go for the good of this country! Their deaths serve us well: we now have a good reason to war on those Combine countries!"
The idea of conquering other nations and adding their land to Fire Country was a very tantalizing prospect for the new and ambitious Daimyo.
"Lord Danzo, you should look at this," Torune Aburame brought in a big TV and it was now showing a gigantic monster on the Chunin Exam Arena as well as Naruto Namikaze. The news crewmen evacuated hurriedly leaving their equipment behind and the cameras were still running.
"What the hell is that thing?" The Fire Court Army Minister named Itagaki asked in a terrified tone, that was shared with everyone here.
"That is Satori, the demon rampaged the world a millennium ago," Danzo answered calmly as he rubbed his chin.
"Can the boy defeat it?"
"I'm certain he will defeat it," the Leaf elder answered confidently. "And furthermore, this could be to our advantage. For we can use this demon in order to gauge our own weapon's ability further. Torune, make sure we record the fight. The video will be useful in the future."
"Indeed, the video showing the boy's victory over the demon will send the world a message," the new Fire Daimyo agreed. "That my country is the most powerful and every country shall submit to my will and form a Fire Empire!"
That idea almost made him drunk with giddiness. Masashi wouldn't just be one Daimyo among many others, he could be elevated to the position of an emperor. The Fire Prince now began to think of how to draft the message to send to the other world leaders, he was thinking of something along the lines of "Submit or Die."
Itagaki raised another question. "The boy is already powerful enough to defeat the Raikage, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki and Jiraiya. I heard people nicknamed him The Golden Slayer, and how will we make him submit to the will of Fire Throne?" He and some others worried about what would be there to stop the Uzumaki boy from claiming to the Fire Throne for himself.
"He is not a God. He is a mortal like the rest of us, and that means he has weaknesses that we can exploit to our advantage. The boy's weaknesses are his fiancée and clanswomen." Danzo answered. "We can control him through them, particularly the Hyuuga girl."
He looked at Hideo Hyuuga, who nodded and stepped in to explain. "When the time is right, we will take and seal Hinata, then there is nothing that Kyuubi brat can do but kowtow to us. Your Grace and Lord Danzo, the Hyuuga clan will do so much to give the most powerful weapon to you for the good of the country and the village, and my clan should be rewarded handsomely."
The mention of Hinata made the new Fire Daimyo drool lecherously inside. That Hyuuga girl was very beautiful and he had set his eyes on her. The Caged Bird Seal would make it convenient for him. After all, if he was elevated to the rank of Emperor, then he would be free to have as many concubines and mistresses as he desired.
"Well, what will you like to be rewarded?" The Fire Heir Apparent asked.
"Your Grace, do you know the boy and his clanswomen dared to insult you by uhhh... flipping you off when you left with the Hokages to the arena?"
There were gasps among the Fire ministers at the sheer audacity of such a thing. Danzo raised an eyebrow at this lie, but he kept silence and watched.
"Really?" The prince asked in a barely controlled angered tone.
"Yes, and the boy and his Uzumaki clan need a stern regent to teach them manners and their proper place in the world, and I nominate myself and the Hyuuga clan that role."
The Konoha's Darkness looked at the Hyuuga elder with some thoughts. 'So you want to assimilate the Uzumaki clan into the Hyuuga clan, Hideo? Well, it will certainly help Konoha, and you will owe me for helping you lie.' He would let Hideo think that he and the Hyuugas were the ones in charge, but it would be himself and ROOT that controlled all from the shadows.
All the while, Hideo continued to go deeper into his explanation. "The Uzumaki clan is a foreign clan and almost extinct. There should be a clan, namely the Hyuuga clan, to reign over them on the Whirlpool province for the good of Fire Country, and Konoha will benefit greatly if the Hyuuga clan has the Uzumaki bloodline limits. Imagine the Hyuuga-Uzumaki hybrid super-ninjas!"
The Hyuuga clan elder saw everyone nodded and smiled, even Danzo. Hizashi's son Neji courting with that foul-mouthed Uzumaki girl didn't escape the Hyuuga elder's attention, but no one could stop it without incurring the wrath of Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Not to mention Naruto was the fiancé of Hinata Hyuuga, who should be put into the Branch family as tradition. Having the Uzumaki bloodlines, techniques, accounts would certainly make the Hyuuga clan more powerful.
"Granted. The Hyuuga clan can have this reward," Masashi answered, so Hideo and the other Hyuuga elders smiled.
A Fire Court minister gave his new daimyo a chair. Masashi sat down and looked at the TV. "Anyway let's see and enjoy our weapon rips and tears the demon!"
XXXXXXXXX
Chunin Exam Arena Ground
"You are one ugly motherfucker!" Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze charged towards Satori with his Arashi katana at both hands. The demon spread out its arms and roar. The whole Leaf village could hear its terrifying roar. The ancient demon charged and launched a barrage of feathers simultaneously at Naruto.
"RRAAAWWWR!" The blond roared back in Tailed Beast Mode. The Kyuubi Shockwave blew away all the feathers and made the demon swung its long arms as stumbled back a few steps comically. The blond Uzumaki jumped toward the demon, and the wind chakra on his katana extended to three meters long.
'Good its head and ass are wired together!' Naruto thought as he was going to bring his katana down at the demon's thinnest part- the waist or the neck whatever it was. 'It should die if I chop off the torso!'
"What the fuck!?" Naruto shouted in confusion when the demon stepped aside, resulting him cutting Satori's left arm rather than its body.
"Naruto!" Hinata shouted, and the blond's instinct made him to spin left and saw a gigantic palm was coming at him. The Kyuubi jinchuuriki's left palm faced toward the incoming hand.
"Tailed Beast Mini-Ball!" A softball sized purple-black orb was launched towards Satori's incoming right hand. The demon moved its hand away from the incoming ball in instinct and changed to use another hand for the counterattack. The Leaf elite jonin saw the incoming hand and put his arms in front of him to prepare for the impact.
It worried everyone when Naruto was smashed into an arena wall. then they sighed in relief when the blond came out of the hole. He casually wiped out blood on his mouth and brushed off rubbles from his armour.
'It seems the information is incorrect. It doesn't dodge by reading thought but by instinct and reflection, otherwise it wouldn't be knocked off balance by my shockwave. I'm amazed that this fucker could still dodge my fast attacks, then I have to come up with a better plan…'
Satori landed back on the box and looked at its wounded hand before opening its mouth. "Lucky hit brat, you won't get it next time." Everyone's eyes widened at that the demon's wound healed quickly.
"Seem like the box is his power source or something," Naruto said in his mindscape, Kurama agreed. The whiskered ninja made a hand sign. "Shadow Legion!"
Enormous smoke appeared around Naruto, and when the smoke cleared, there were one hundred shadow clones surrounding their leader, who pointed at Satori. "Go get that ugly motherfucker!"
The shadow clones quickly surrounded Satori and had activated Wind Claws on both arms before charging at the demon. The yokai launched another feather attack and destroyed a dozen clones.
'I can't believe this ugly motherfucker can dodge my legion's coordinated attacks easily!' Naruto observed the battle in disbelief. 'He looks like dancing while dodging my shadow clones' attacks and destroying them in return.' A voice rang in his radio earplug.
"Naruto! Shingen Hattori is spotted outside the center gate!" Hitomi warned her future son-in-law. "He is coming! You have to finish the fight FAST!"
"Roger that," the blond jonin made another two shadow legions. He and the new 200 shadow clones jumped to reinforce the first legion.
"Hahaha! Even a thousand of you can't even harm me!" Satori mocked aloud as he sliced down another ten shadow clones. Naruto's face remained expressionless at the taunt.
"I beg to differ," Naruto snapped his fingers, and dozens of Explosive Shadow Clones blew up around Satori. "If you want to hide a leaf, you best hide it in a forest."
The Hokage Guard Platoon teleported next to Shikaku Nara, who was 90% complete on evacuating civilians in the arena.
"What is this?" The Konoha Jonin Leader asked a big pot that the platoon brought here.
"This is the Amber Purifying Pot Naruto stole from Kumo, it sealed the Hachibi before." Hayate Gekko replied without a cough, thanks to Tsunade's treatment on his lungs. "Hinata and Honoka request us to deliver it, in case Naruto cannot defeat the demon and we should be able to seal it with it."
"We might not need it anymore…" Shikaku looked at the arena ground. Hayate, Raido, Genma followed suit and their dropped their jaws.
Satori was shrieking in agony, as blood, meat and bone pieces were blasted open on its right arm, and his both legs and both wings were seriously injured. Everyone shuddered when they saw a cruel smile appeared on Naruto's face.
"Music to my ears," the jinchuuriki in Biju Mode held a javelin in each hand and he threw them at Satori. "Kyuubi-Wind Release: Full Mach Javelins!"
VROOM! People still at the Chunin Exam Arena covered their ears at the two loud sonic booms. The millennium demon found the yellow brat's long-range assassination javelins hard to dodge- they were too fast. The first javelin grazed the demon's right shoulder, and the second one penetrated its left wing. The demon let out another cry, this was the first time he found his instinct dodging was put in test.
'I have to buy time to regenerate my damaged body!' Satori thought panickily, then he opened his mouth and released a huge amount of purple smoke.
"The smoke is poisonous!" Everyone shouted, and they helplessly watched that Naruto was quickly engulfed in the dark smoke.
Worse, he turned off his Biju Mode, but his face was calm and gave everyone an assuring thumb-up. The smoke filled the soccer field sized arena in thirty seconds, and no one could see what's happening now, except the Hyuugas.
With their Byakugan active, Hinata, Hiashi, Hitomi and Neji saw the demon fled to the Box of the Ultimate Bliss at his fastest speed and landed on the box to regenerate its lost right hand.
'The Rikudo Sennin's grandson didn't push me that far but this yellow brat… The smoke should keep him away for a while… That's enough to regenerate my body, then I'll make him pay for this!' Satori thought. "HAHAHA! One small inhale of the smoke could kill you! You better take the poison and die you brat! Because when I get my hand back, I'm going to kill you slowly and painfully after I kill your Hyuuga girlfriend! You won't defeat me! Even your ancestor couldn't defeat me! You will die!"
"What the fuck is happening!?" Tayuya held and shook Neji's shoulders. "Is Naruto OK?"
"He is OK," The Hyuuga's answer made the Uzumaki sighed in relief. He raised a question. "He's covered in wind charka?"
"That's Wind Armour Aqua Mode," Hinata explained. "It is used to provide him oxygen in underwater operations for long time, and now this should help him survive this toxic environment."
"I see, he is circling the demon very fast. It seems he knows the demon's location, but why is he running around instead of attacking it?"
"Naruto must have tricks in his sleeve. We must believe him," Tayuya patted Hinata's and Neji's backs. "We are nearly complete of evacuating the civvies here, then we can begin our counterattack."
"HAHAHA! I'm FINALLY healed. I'm going to kill your lover before I kill you!" Satori looked at its regenerated right arm, he was flapping its wings to disperse the smoke. "Where are you, you little prick!?"
A second later, the black-purple poisonous smoke was vacuumed quickly into nine directions. Three javelins were shot from a direction at sonic speed. Satori barely dodged the third one and had a graze on its left shoulder. He turned to that source and saw Naruto, charging at him in the air.
"I ain't gonna defeat you. I AM GONNA KILL YOU!" Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze held his katana above his head.
Satori crouched on the box preparing to counter another Kyuubi Shockwave and fired a red giant orb from its mouth. The demon's Giant Sphere was as large as Bijudama, but no fear was shown on Naruto's face.
"HAAAAH!" The blond stabbed the demonic energy ball with Arashi, the Uzumaki clan heirloom sword. The Red Giant Sphere was shattered and absorbed into the katana.
"Impossible!" Satori couldn't believe his most devasting attack was neutralized. He then made a dozen hand moves, a second later an enormous net of razor sharp in wind chakra was formed. Each gap was only five centimeters by five centimeters.
"You won't escape my Wind Release: Meat Dicing Net Technique! You will be in sliced to PIECES!"
It horrified everyone to see that trees and big rocks were sliced to tiny bits. Naruto's shadow clones quickly gathered as shields, trying to destroy the net with their Wind Claws to protect their boss but to no avail. The deadly net was coming to the blond jonin.
"NARUTO!" Hinata and other Leaf ninjas shouted in horror at their champion's incoming fate. The Byakugan Princess took out her bow and shot multiple arrows through the Firewall barrier to Satori. The arrows bounced off the barrier. The Hyuuga cried for her love at this hopeless situation, yet he remained calm and had a Wind Release Full Mach Javelin popped up on his hand. This javelin had a special seal on it.
Naruto threw it at Satori, and the javelin passed through the Meat Dicing Net. It nearly hit the demon, but the blond appeared right next to the javelin.
"WHAT! How you did it!?" If Satori had eyes, they would be super large, shocked at the fact the brat suddenly appeared in front of him and had escaped his Meat Dicing Net technique.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!" Everyone shouted in relief and in shock. Some ninjas cheered aloud "HIRAISHIN IS REBORN!"
There was no way for Satori to dodge at sudden attack at point blank, he struck his claws at Naruto. The jonin gritted his teeth as ignoring the great pain at his slashed waist, and he continued his charge.
"ARRGGHHH!" Satori screamed in pain as Naruto stabbed his katana deep into his body. The blond injected the red chakra gathered from the Giant Sphere into Satori.
"Return to sender- you ugly motherfucker!"
BOOOM!
"ARRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"
Mikoto Uchiha turned around by Satori's louder scream and was shocked at what she saw: much of the demon's top left including its left wing was now gone and the part exposed purple-pink flesh. Everyone was surprised that the demon was still alive, barely. It was walking like a drunk toward the Box of Ultimate Bliss for healing.
Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze landed on the ground and felt heavy at the blood loss, he activated a pre-packed Bloodbag seal to replace his lost blood. Feeling a bit rejuvenated, he held a sign. "Cryo Seals- Activate!" Then he re-activated his Wind Armour Aqua Mode and quickly threw nine Hellfire seals around him.
Then the unbelievable happened, everything in the arena fighting ground, except Naruto's place, was frozen instantly.
"What the hell happened?" Sasuke Uchiha asked as he looked at the frozen Satori and the Box of Ultimate Bliss. "What is this Cryo Seal?"
"It's a wind-type tactical seal that deals with air," Tayuya answered then she asked everyone. "What makes up most of the air?"
"Nitrogen! 78% of air is nitrogen!" Sakura Haruno answered immediately, and then she realized one thing. "Liquified nitrogen! And it can cause temperature drop to below minus 190 Celsius degrees!"
"Naruto came up with this idea when he saw your battle with Haku," Hinata added.
"I never heard that fuinjutsu can freeze thing," Tenten said and looked at Ranmaru. "Naruto invented this in less than two month- he is a fuinjutsu genius!"
Everyone nodded and was amazed at the son of Minato and Kushina.
"Evacuation complete!" Shikaku announced to all the Leaf and Sand ninjas at the arena. "Let's prepare for the counterattack!"
"Judgement time," Naruto's right palm faced the frozen Satori, while the left one faced the Box of Ultimate Bliss. "Sayonara you ugly motherfucker!"
The threat of the millennium demon was no more when Satori and the Box of Ultimate Bliss were shattered by two mini-Bijudama.
XXXXXXXXX
Tayuya hugged Neji excitedly, didn't notice the Hyuuga was blushing furiously. "Naruto did it! That son of the bit… No, Lady Kushina, slayed the demon! The Uzumaki clan is the strongest in the world! Fuck Yeah!"
"Yeah…" The Hyuuga genius reluctantly nodded, and Sasuke Uchiha too. Every Leaf ninja cheered at Naruto's victory over the infamous demon. The Uzumaki seal master deactivated the Cryo, Hellfire and Firewall seals.
VROOM!
Everyone jumped at the sonic boom sounds coming from outside the arena. Naruto dodged the first Earth Release Eruption Spear, but it cut his left arm and destroyed the storage seal there. The second spear was the real attack and he barely dodged it. Although he avoided the spear decapitation, but it grazed his left neck- his artery.
"NARUTO!" Everyone shouted in horror when they saw blood coming out of their champion's neck and he fell on his face. Hinata, Hitomi and Mikoto rushed toward him with tears.
"NO ONE MOVES!"
Everyone froze at the command. While the K-15 young ninjas thought it was a godlike authority, but the Leaf senior ninjas recognized that terrifying voice.
He's here. The Iwa Gravemaker was here now. Shingen Hattori emerged from an arena spectator corner, using Doton Underground Projection Fish Technique.
Kurama, Shikaku and his son Shikamaru then realized it. "The Gravemaker has been here all the time and uses earth clone as a decoy at the gate. He's been waiting for the right time to strike." They all started to formulate a plan to save Naruto.
The Iwa general jumped from the arena top and landed on the arena ground approaching Naruto in quick pace with his stone sword drawn. Every Konoha ninja was ready to jump forward to defend Naruto, several kunai were shot down in front of them. They looked up the sky and froze.
A full wing of a hundred Buzzards had arrived here, as well as a dozen Dragons started to unload Iwa ninjas. The Buzzards were circling the arena like vultures.
"I'm willing to spare you all, so don't try something funny unless you want to go to hell with this boy." Shingen Hattori warned the Leaf ninjas. He let out a little smile when he looked at the downed Naruto Namikaze.
"I have waited for 15 long years for this. It's over, son of the cursed Yellow Butcher. I will bring your head to Mahiru's altar."
XXXXXXXXX
It was in that moment that all hope seemed lost to the Konoha ninjas, some had tears in their eyes. Yet they didn't know that Naruto was secretly and quickly healing as he was facing down the dirt.
"Thanks Kurama," Naruto told the fox who was quickly healing his wound. "One more second I would faint at the blood loss..." He was also secretly applying another Bloodbag seal on himself. He heard the Gravemaker's footsteps getting louder, and he was ready to re-activate the Cryo seals here.
"Don't fool me boy," the Iwa general punched the ground shouting "Earth Shattering Fist!" There were massive fissures on the arena.
'Shit he destroyed the Cryo seals!' Naruto thought in shock. The quake made the blond rolled down to a small pit. Now he was sitting on the ground and facing his father's greatest enemy- Shingen Hattori, the Iwa's greatest general, and a grieving father.
"Finally I meet you, Naruto Namikaze, son of the cursed Yellow Flash. You look very much like him." The Last Hattori's anger and killing intent rose. "Today I avenge my son!"
Naruto spat blood to the ground and looked straight at the elderly Iwa ninja. "Tell me, Shingen Hattori the Gravemaker, how many parents are on the line wanting to kill you to avenge their children you slain?"
The blond ninja was waiting for the general's hesitation, then he would activate his close-range assassination technique Wind Strike. The Iwa general, however, was unfazed by the rhetorical question.
"I. Don't. Care." The old man said coldly as he held his sword tighter and raised it high, ready to behead Naruto to avenge his son. "Your father killed my son Mahiru in cold blood, and I shall have my vengeance today."
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! There were countless of "BOOM!" Shingen turned around and saw several Sky Buzzards, Dragons and Iwa ninjas in the area were blown up.
The Konoha Arena was full of insect-wings flapping sounds, and hundreds of shadows landed on the ground. Everyone looked up the sky, the sun was almost blocked, but every Konoha ninja were delighted.
Shino Aburame made a rare smile. "Our reinforcement- the Guardian Angel and her shadow legions have arrived."
XXXXXXXXX
"Hornet Swarm and Beetle Swarm neutralize enemy flyers!" Chomei ordered Fu's shadow clone air force. "Dragonfly Swarm neutralize the enemy transports and ninjas!"
"Roger that!" The three wing leaders responded simultaneously. Each of the Nanabi jinchuuriki's shadow clones was flapping insect wings and was armed with a dozen kunai tagged Havoc explosive seals.
"There are too many of them! How come we don't know Konoha has an air force!" A Sky Dragon pilot exclaimed before his carryall transport was blown up.
"There flying shadow clones are nimble!" Many Sky ninjas made urgent request as they were chased.
"I can't shake them off!" A Sky Buzzard ninja said desperately before he was blown up.
Seeing Fu's Hornet and Beetle Swarms overwhelming the Sky Falcon Wing and they were dropping like flies. Shingen Hattori realized that the Konoha reinforcement was destroying his army. His revenge was now or never, he quickly raised his stone sword high again, ready to execute Naruto Namikaze.
Hinata Hyuuga raised her bow and shot three arrows consecutively at the Iwa general. Shingen dodged the incoming attacks, but it gave Naruto Namikaze enough time to get up and leap at the enemy with his Wind Strike assassination technique.
The green wind sword came out of Shingen's back, and Naruto was holding the Iwa general and could feel his life was fading quickly.
"I'll take you with me!" The elderly Iwa ninja was going to activate suicide explosion, but his left forearm was restrained by Naruto's right hand.
"I have sealed your ninjutsu ability," the blond said. The Gravemaker's eyes widened in horror and lots of blood was coming out of his mouth and dripping on the young Leaf ninja's shoulder. "I'm sorry for your loss and everyone's loss of loved ones at wars. Your hatred blinded you that I must atone for my father's sin with my life, not to mention lots of other people's lives- Kosuke Maruboshi, Ko Hyuuga's… War is ugly and creates endless vicious cycle of conflicts. I wish this war is the last one."
As the infamous Iwa Gravemaker's life extinguished, Naruto dropped his body to ground. "I will visit Iwa to pay tribute to their fallen, I hope this can build bridge with them, for a start…"
He heard a scream and froze in horror because he recognized the voice. It was Hinata's.
"What happened?" Naruto asked.
Mikoto Uchiha responded in choking voice. "Hiashi and Hitomi shielded Hinata from the Sky ninjas' kunai attack when she fired her arrows. They took several kunai and they were dying!"
Naruto Namikaze jumped so strong that there were 10cm deep of footprints on the arena ground. He landed next to the Hyuuga family and looked at his love. "Hinata, use the Medivac seals on them! Aunty can save them!"
XXXXXXXXX
1015
It took three minutes for the Konoha ninjas to neutralize the enemy and the chaos at the Chunin Exam Arena.
"Thank you Naruto," Hinata bowed her head low in embarrassment. "I forgot we have Medivac seals…"
Naruto hugged her in assurance and gave her a deep kiss. "It's OK, and your parents will be fine. Thank you and Fu for saving my life." He then whispered at the Hyuuga's ear. "But you didn't truly follow my order to evacuate the civilians, and instead trying to find a way to attack the demon and the Gravemaker, I am going to 'court-marital' you privately and naughtily…"
Hinata was blushing furiously as she imagined herself gagged and bound in ropes naked and her eyes covered and couldn't use her Byakugan. Then Naruto teased her nipples, pussy and ass with fingers, tongue and his big manhood. The Byakugan Princess was feeling her womanhood getting a bit wet.
"Boss, job complete," Naruto's shadow clones informed him as they released Hiruzen, Rasa and Gaara from their Brig fuinjutsu traps.
"Good. Thanks," the blond ninja responded before radioing his aunty. "Lady Hokage, this is Naruto Namikaze. The Third Hokage, the Kazekage and his son Gaara are now freed."
"Well done, Elite Jonin Naruto Namikaze," the Fifth Hokage appreciated his efforts. "Sensei, Kazekage and Gaara you all OK?"
"Yes," the three responded the same answer: "I am fine."
"Good. Sensei, you are in charge on the village left section: Zones 1, 4 and 7!" Then Tsunade radioed to Rasa. "Lord Kazekage, I know it's a lot to ask, but please do us a favour. You take your Sand ninjas to lead the Konoha right section: Zones 3, 6, and 9. We will pay you handsomely for the mission."
"Yes, we will gladly help Konoha," the Kazekage immediately replied and the Hokage thanked him again. Sand ninjas Pakura, Yashamaru, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara and his genins gathered at their village leader.
"Naruto, I want you to take charge of the center formation. You are authorized to take that form and the Akimichi Titan Squad will support you!" After completing her orders, Tsunade put chakra in her voice and broadcasted her address to everyone.
"Konoha ninjas! Naruto Namikaze has slain the millennium demon Satori and the Iwa Gravemaker! It's time for us to fight back! We have a village to defend against invaders, and a war to WIN!"
Roar was heard in every part of the village, and every Konoha ninja's morale raised. An army of Katsuyu clones were swarming the village to protect everyone. Mikoto and Sasuke were nearly in tears when they heard a broadcast.
"This is Konoha Genin Izumi Uchiha, we have Uzumaki fuinjutsu protection here, anyone who can't make it to the Zone 4 shelters please come to the Uchiha compound for safety!"
Choza Akimichi swallowed a pill, and his eight fellow Titan Squad members followed suit, and a moment later they became giants. They were over 100 meters tall.
"Eep!" Hinata was surprised Naruto held her when he activated his gigantic Kurama avatar. They were gradually raising high in the fox avatar.
He looked at her. "My love, I need you to form a hunter-killer team with me, because we are going to kill every Combine ninja in this village."
