A/N: Thank you Akatsuki1700, Shark The SnowWolf, White Fox1000 and Yuu igdrasil for your supports =)


Meeting of Konoha's Welcoming Party for Akatsuki

"Barrier?" asked Inuzuka Tsume.

"I know what all of you are thinking, Konoha is already surrounded by a barrier" explained Shisui "Our current barrier allows us to detect unwelcome party, but it doesn't prevent people from entering and leaving"

"We all have read the report from Iwa" added Shikaku "The level of destruction made from an attack by Akatsuki is staggering! It is our hope that we can avoid it"

"What kind of barrier are you talking about?" asked Yamanaka Inoichi

"Shisekiyōjin" replied Shisui.

"But-"

"The jutsu's chakra requirement is indeed very high, only those of kage-level capable of doing so, luckily we have four of them" explained Shikaku "Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu"


Hizashi looked at the sky and saw the red smoke; it's a sign to inform all shinobi that the Akatsuki is driven out of Konoha and any shinobi who wishes to join the fight has to be outside the gate within 15 seconds before the red barrier is erected.

"I take my leave, nii-san" said Hizashi as he took off with a group of Hyūga.

"Stay safe" said Hiashi as he watch his clansmen moving towards the battlefield.


Thud!

"Noriko!" cried Naruto as Noriko fallen near him, bleeding and unconscious with a black rod protruding from her torso.

"Let me, Naruto" said Sakura.

"Let her do, Naruto" said Shin "The barrier is erected. Noriko has done her part. It is time for us to do ours"


"Pein" said a blue-hair Akatsuki kunoichi to the short-spiky-orange-hair shinobi "What are you doing here?"

"She pushed me here" explained Pein in a monotone voice "Her mangekyō sharingan allows her to do telekinesis"

"It seems they anticipated our arrival" said the kunoichi as she watched the red barrier surrounding Konoha before turning to their fallen comrades.

"Doesn't matter, it won't stop me" said Pein "Nor would they" as he eyed his surrounding coldly.

"We will" growled Naruto.

"Give me Uzumaki Naruto, or die" demanded Pein.

"H*** NO!" answered Sasuke as he stepped in front of Naruto.

Pein looked at them and looked at Naruto squarely in his eyes "You must be Uzumaki Naruto. Our information wasn't sure which one is the Kyūbi jinchūriki, you or that girl" his eyes turned to Noriko who was being treated by Sakura "the bijū should react right now, when the host is about to die. Since I do not see any response, you must've be the jinchūriki. Come with us and we'll spare your friends"

"I echo my student's sentiment" said Hamaki "H*** no!"

"We don't sell our comrades" said Kiba.

"Woof!" barked Akamaru.

"Why do you want Naruto?" asked Shin.

"It's not him that we want" said Pein.

"You want the Kyūbi" said Hamaki slowly "Why would Akatsuki want the bijū?"

"You live and you'll find out" said Pein as he stretched out his arm "Shinra Tensei!"

Tenzō jumped in front of them and shouted "Mokuton: Mokujōheki!"

Once the pressure abated, Hamaki jumped and attack with a sword, which was blocked by a black rod. At the same time, Sasuke and Neji were fighting with the kunoichi from Akatsuki. Hamaki made another swing at Pein but was pushed away by another pressure.

Naruto, Tenzō and Kiba attacked Pein simultaneously, who evaded, blocked and attacked back at the same time before they also, being pushed away by another pressure-

-only for Shin and Hamaki to take their place and fought Pein.

More and more Konoha shinobi arrived, led by Uchiha Tekka and Hizashi who were briefed by Tenten.

"Konan" said Pein suddenly, after blasting of Shin and Hamaki.

Konan looked at Pein and nodded. Pein levitated ant stayed mid-air while Konan turned into paper and attacking at all Konoha shinobi with the razor-sharp papers.

All the Uchiha presence stepped in front and shouted "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" while a few Sarutobi added "Katon: Gōen no Jutsu!".

The collaborative fire burnt away the papers followed by another wave of razor-sharp papers which was blown away by the Hyūga's "Hakke Kūhekishō", supplemented by "Garōga" from the Inuzuka and "Nikudan Sensha" from the Akimichi while Tenzō built a wall around Sakura who was in the midst of healing Noriko.

Suddenly, the barrage of razor-sharp papers attacks stopped, followed by a very powerful "Shinra Tensei!", which pushed everyone away (or buried them), resulting in a very large clearing.


A/N: Why Noriko got telekinetic as her power from Mangekyō Sharingan? I guess I was very much impressed by the way one of Thanos's sons/henchmen fought using telekinesis that I adopted that power for Noriko. Before that I was thinking between Kamui (Kakashi's & Obito's), Amaterasu (Itachi's & Sasuke's) or Kotoamatsukami (Shisui's), but when I watched Thanos, I have my answer. ;D (Also, Obito managed to manoeuvre the Truth-Seeking Balls easily which made me felt strongly about telekinesis)


A/N: Thank you fagyei305 for your suggestion. I was toying with the idea of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan but I haven't found a way to fit into the plot. When I read your idea, my mind went from 'hmmmm' to 'maybe' to 'wait a minute' to 'I think I got it!' =D…I can't promise because there's a possibility that when I am actually writing that part, I may have different idea. Tenseigan…I am not sure, but if I don't use it in this fic, I may use it in my next-next or next-next-next fic (I have many in my head, but streamlined into 3 fics so far, they are cooking slowly in my head). So, thank you in advance.
