AN: Sorry about the long delay, I didn't have access to a computer over the summer. Anyway, hope you guys can forgive me, and here's the next chapter. Also, sorry for calling him Jake instead of Iwa. By the way, I'm going to start a story for the main villain after he is introduced.

-Thursday-

"Well, are you guys ready?" I asked my group. Right when Okiba was about to respond, a shinobi ran up to the crowd, shouting "Everyone run! We're under attack!" All of the shinobis, including me and my friends, started running toward the gate while everyone else started running to the emergency building to hide.

As soon as we got there, it took a moment for my brain to process what I was seeing. The front gates to the village were blown open and mostly destroyed, and there was dead shinobi laying in the road and across the roofs. Standing among the dead ninja were two shinobi, whose headbands I could not see.

"Hmph. More nuisances. I told you we shouldn't have let that one get away." said the one on the left. He was taller the one on the right by about a foot. I could tell that the one on the left was an adult and the one on the right was still a kid, probably about sixteen. "Doesn't matter. We can still kill them all."

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" I yelled. The one on the right tilted his head.

"This one's got a temper," he noted. "I'll make sure to remember that."

"Shut up! Water Style, Stealth Mist Jutsu! Water Style: Rain Cloak Jutsu!" I shouted as I activated my keke genkai.

Suddenly I here from behind me: "Nice job, Iwa! Now, Chidori!" I turn around and see Sauske jump off a roof at the enemies, and Kakashi jumps of a roof on the other side, also using Chidori.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Rod Jutsu!" shouted the adult just as the kid said "Earth Style: Lava Eruption Jutsu!" The lightning from Kakashi and Sasuke's Chidori's flew toward a staff the adult was holding, and two eruptions exploded beneath Kakashi and Sauske, sending them both flying back.

"Sauske! Kakashi!" I shouted. "You asked for it!" I activated my keke genkai. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" An army of Shadow Clones appeared all over the place, on roofs, in the street, and outside the gate, surrounding the enemy. "Now! Fire Style, Pheonix Flower Jutsu!" A ton of fireballs went flying toward the two people at the gate. All the fireballs hit, and I had to look away, the explosion was so bright.

"Pathetic." said a voice from the explosion. "Now. Demon Style: 1,000 unholy cuts!" Suddenly, the explosion dissipated, there was no smoke, and all my shadow clones were cut in half. I looked down, and what I saw almost made me throw up. There was a giant cut across my stomach, and it was bleeding a lot. I held my stomach as I fell to my knees, then on my side, away from the two attackers. The last thing I saw before blacking out was Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, and a bunch of shinobi running my way. Then I blacked out.

AN: So, what do you think? I thought that this was a good place to end the chapter. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Sorry not sorry for the somewhat-cliffhanger. Remember, always burn bright!
