Chapter 8
...until an explosion rocked the stony silence and the feeling of drowsiness overcame most of the crowd.
The invasion had started...
Gaara had his cue and left the stadium in the chaos surrounding and Naruto took after him after getting an order from Hayato to follow after him as he ripped through several sand-nin who were attacking with the help of Lee and his taijutsu.
Kakashi saw Naruto trailing after Gaara from the corner of his eye and he snapped an order Sasuke and Sakura to go after Gaara, to which Sasuke smirked at the chance to prove his skills and Sakura just followed after Sasuke, jumping away from the battle in the stadium.
Kakashi took down several jounin and made his way towards Asuma, Kurenai, and Guy who were fighting the rest of the invaders.
Asuma said, "Shikamaru, go help Sasuke and Sakura, understand?"
The lazy genin gave a quick, 'Yes sir,' and made haste going after two making sure not leave any trails for the enemy to follow as Asuma then ordered Ino, Choji, and Kiba to help out civilians and protect them.
Shino followed after Shikamaru to trail after Sasuke and Sakura.
Ino and Choji were ordered to help the people in the academy and protect the students and several civilians. Hinata and Rein were attacking the enemy ninjas.
An explosion came from the Kage box and the Sound four created a barrier on the orders of Orochimaru. Entrapping the two kage-level shinobi inside the barrier as Orochimaru brandished his sword, while Sarutobi summoned the Monkey King Emma who transformed into a large staff.
'Finish what you've started you old monkey,' Enma said
Sasuke and Sakura now joined by Shikamaru and Shino were working their way towards the battle where Naruto and Gaara was.
Shino stayed behind to battle Kankuro and Shikamaru was left behind to battle with Temari, leaving Sasuke and Sakura to stumble upon the scene of Naruto fighting Gaara.
"Dobe, your better is here. You can leave and sigh in relief now."
"Go scrape the cum of Orochimaru off your teeth, Uchiha." Naruto snapped, avoiding the sand was going to crush him.
"However, if you really want to fight him, be my guest. Don't nag me if you die." Naruto said, jumping away from Gaara and landing on the same tree where his 'teammates' were standing.
"So, you know your place?" Sasuke smirked, thinking about how to get him back for the cum comment.
"Get your ass moving, Uchiha or are you waiting for something long and hard to shove you down there?" Naruto said, ignoring him.
Before the Uchiha could reply, a wave of sand rushed towards them and they avoided the hit, but Sakura was now pinned to the tree.
"She'll die if you don't defeat me," Gaara said as the sand was slowly about to crush Sakura.
"Now, now, Gaara why make us wait when you can easily kill her now." Naruto tutted, thinking that keeping her alive was waste of time and air.
Sakura looked shocked at the boy who used to follow her around like a puppy.
"You wouldn't let him kill me, would you de-Naruto?"
"Of course, I would, you pathetic waste of a girl. You aren't worth my time."
"No, you're lying! You love me!"
"Like you know a thing about the concept, Haruno. All you want is admiration and confidence from me and desire the Uchiha along with one-upping Ino. That's all you care about you, vain fan girl." He stated coldly, shattering her as she went limp, tears running down her face
'He doesn't care? No, he does I'll make him care and when he does I'll crush him! He is my loyal puppy! He loves me! He always loves me and I will make him!'
Sasuke vs. Gaara
Sasuke moves to attack Gaara and all his attacks have very little effect and it more like a bug buzzing around him. The Sasuke then fell to his knees, his curse mark from Orochimaru spreading all over his body, crippling him and Gaara swatted him away, making him bash his back against one of the trees and he got knocked out of the fight and Gaara made his sand cover him, releasing his biju.
"Aw hell yeah! I'm going to cause so much hell!" The sand raccoon yelled out.
'Kyuubi-chan?'
'You know what to do brat.'
Naruto jumped down to ground level, he bit into his hand, flipping through hand seals and yelled, "Demon summoning jutsu!" A large poof of smoke appeared and malevolent chakra poured around the area.
The Kyuubi has finally been released and it scared the shit out of everyone, shocking the Old man, Orochimaru and the two brought back to life past Hokages.
'Naruto?'
'It seems the Kyuubi brat has some tricks up his sleeve.'
Back to the Battle...
The smoke cleared and Kyuubi stood tall and proud in all her furry, horrible glory with Naruto standing on her head staring at the puzzled sand biju.
"You! How the hell-"
"I just have a better container. Now, it's time for you to learn your place," Kyuubi said with a smirk
The battle was titan-level, the destroyed brush, the flames, and sands of the two monsters changed the landscape and Naruto finally got an opening and smashed a fist into Gaara's skull, waking him up.
"No! Dammit! I wanted to stay out longer!" The one-tail yelled before crumbling into a large pile of sand and Gaara fell to the floor in a heap.
Naruto releases Kyuubi back into the seal on his stomach and walks towards the downed Gaara who looks up unfearing at Naruto who then smirked at him.
While Gaara thought he was going to kill him, Naruto took him and leaned him against a tree.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why aren't you going to kill me?"
"Because I couldn't kill a brother in tails, regardless, you seem to be missing a big picture, one-tail."
Gaara looked for an explanation and Naruto told him he still had his brother and sister and not to give them up. He didn't have to be alone anymore.
The Suna-nin thought about what Naruto was talking about it all rang large bells in his head. He was right...His siblings...could have easily abandoned him, instead, they stuck by him.
Right after he finished the thought, Temari and Kankuro appeared, Temari gasped and readied her fan while Kankuro was preparing for his puppet to spring.
"Temari...Kankuro, enough. I lost..."
"Gaara..."
Gaara made his way towards them with the help of Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki..."
Naruto looked at him and Gaara said, "Thanks."
Naruto smirked and said, "Anytime, I just want to have another battle in the future."
Gaara smiled and made away with his siblings, disappearing in the brush
Naruto then returned to the village, gripping Sakura by her hair and Sasuke by his shirt and saw that the village was in shambles but the dead invaders lining the floor and the captured ninja being led away by Konoha shinobi.
Kakashi was making his way towards him, but he had to catch the unconscious Sasuke and Sakura as Naruto threw their bodies at him.
Naruto dusted himself off and said, "Where's the old man?"
Before Kakashi could reply, Asuma cut in and said, "He is in the hospital."
Naruto nodded in the smoking ninja's direction and flashed away.
[Konoha Hospital]
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in bed, hospitalized, he was able to cripple Orochimaru by jutsu shredding the nerves in his arms.
Jiraiya is in the room and is talking with Hiruzen who said, "I can't lead anymore, Jiraiya."
"But, who is going to take your place? And before you ask, no. I need to run my spy network."
"The same excuse you use when I ask that you visit Naruto."
"Sensei, don't start."
"Why, should I Jiraiya? Every time I bring up Naruto you find some way to get away, why can't you take responsibility? I can understand Tsunade because she had so much pain of loved ones being taken away from her and she thought that Naruto was dead, but you have no excuse."
"I know, but I-"
"But, what Jiraiya-sama?" A new voice came into the room and both men saw Naruto standing in the doorway, and he looked anything but happy.
[Somewhere else]
A red-haired woman was staring at picture frame of a young boy with blonde locks with a sad and miserable look in his eye contrasting the large fake smile on his lips, 'Son, I will set you free. I'm so sorry, I pushed you away.'
A door opened and closed and woman's eyes opened wide before squinting into slits and snarl on her lips.
"Junko..."
A large grin and a smooth voice replied back, "Kushina-chan..."
Ending it! I am ending the chapter! I am alive! I am almost finished with my damn testing! I needed to write this or I couldn't deal with studying statistics, wish me luck! I swear this semester stunk. I can't do 12 hour semesters, I grow too lazy and I can't even write. Laters!
P.S. Kushina is alive and those who know Dangaronpa, then you know who Junko is... The next chapter will have Naruto confronting Jiraiya, his fuck up and going after Tsunade, and finally Kushina vs. Junko.
