----August 21, 8:36 AM, Konoha Outdoor Stadium----
"Tsunade-sama Mizuki is leading twenty nin to intercept the two Genin teams taking the Diplomats to the shelter." The ANBU said from 1 knee immediately after appearing in front of Tsunade.
"Damnit! I knew I should of had him watched.... is anyone available to help them?" Tsunade asked, worried.
The ANBU shook his head. "Sorry Tsunade-sama, everyone is busy defending the civilians or repelling the invaders, we can't spare anyone."
Tsunade clenched her fists and jaw, this was one of her nightmares as Hokage. Worse, she knew if anything happened to Naruto's friends he'd snap. Then movement below caught her eye and she smiled. "Ezara get to the shelters immediately, Mizuki is leading twenty nin to kill the Diplomates, Hinata, Tenten and Kurenai's team are guarding them!" Tsunade yelled.
Ezara froze a moment, made a hand sign with her left and a moment later Sekka appeared. "Our friends are in trouble." Ezara commanded then grabbed Sekka's shoulder and they vanished.
"I hope they can...." Tsunade said then suddenly turned when there was a huge explosion she knew came from just outside the Main Gate where she'd sent Naruto and Gaara. A small shiver ran down her spine when an inhuman roar rang out that reminded her of Kyuubi's attack twelve years ago, Then she saw it, even from this distance and over the 150 foot outer walls of the Stadium.... at what she estimated to be about 500 feet tall was Shukaku, in full demon form. "I hope I did the right thing, Kami help us if I was wrong.".
----Half a mile from Konoha----
Looking down at the mostly charred corpse of Raiga the now 5-tailed Naruto quickly took out a scroll, opened it on the ground, pulled the twin swords from Raiga's burnt boney hands, with a fast swing cut off Raiga's burned but identifiable head, quickly sealed his swords and head inside it, and in a quick fluid move grabbed it, rolled it up amd stuck it in a pocket. Naruto dropped to all fours, fanned out his 5 chakra tails, his red chakra cloak darkened for a moment."KYUUBI STYLE: LAKE OF FIRE!" Naruto roared as his tails glowed bright red and his now fox-like chakra cloak lightened to normal..
Except for the 5 foot circle he was standing on, the ground for 100 years in every direction melted into flaming magma and swallowed everyone on it down to a slow firey death. Within 30 seconds they were all dead, Naruto cancelled the jutsu and it changed to rock.
"AIR BULLET!" Shukaku roared from a quarter mile away, opened her mouth and fired a massive air bullet at the enemy nin, followed by 4 more, each knocking out or just killing about 50 shinobi in 5 huge explosions. Seeing all the death and destruction, she laughed with sadistic glee, she hasn't had this much fun since her previous host over 100 years ago. Easily spotting Naruto hundreds of feet away she smiled. "I can't let you have all the fun.... TWIN SAND TSUNAMI " Shukaku roared happily as she raised her arms.
Still in the clearing made by his jutsu, Naruto heard the attack and watched as on both sides of the clearing, to the now screaming shinobi, a 300 foot high, 600 foot wide tidal wave of sand rose up and crashed forward, crushing and entombing over half the remailing army under 20-30 feet of sand. Naruto smirked and Kyuubi laughed in his head. "You're right Kyuubi, she is a showoff.... but you have to love her style." Naruto said with a huge smile then turned and ran for Shukaku at lightning speed..
She saw them, then in 2 leaps were on her head next to the half buried Gaara. "You started without me Kyuubi-sama." Shukaku said in an obviously playful voice, still advancing on the invaders. She suddenly stopped and looked up as dark clouds were forming directly above her. "Oh no, not that!" Shukaku said, slightly paniced.
"What's wrong Shukaku?" Naruto asked.
"Some of them my be powerful water users, they're going to make it rain!" Shukaku said slightly more paniced..
"So, that won't hurt you." Naruto said.
"You don't understand.... if I get wet I.... I lose my sand, it become useless! Water can even kill me!" Shukaku said, now scared, water was the only thing she really feared more than anything. It rendered to sand useless, and she couldn't swim to save her life, literally.
'As a Fire element I'm not too fond of water either, but I can deal with it. I can't cover everyone, we need Shukaku to complete our defense, without her we can't stop them all from reaching Konoha, and if my estimate is right, they still at least eight hundred shinobi left.... I hate to put you in this situation Naruto, but you have to do it, if we lose Shukaku to rain, they could get by us and kill Gaara. Believe it or not, I'm actually not looking forward to doing this, but that jutsu is our only option, the rain will start pouring down within two minutes and there's no way Shukaku will reach them in time, and we don't know where they are in the army.' Kyuubi said to Naruto in his head.
"Shukaku, I need you to leave, return to Gaara." Naruto said
Shukaku degan quickly dispersing into the ground, looking like she was sinking, and within a minute Gaara was standing next to Naruto.
"Go back to Konoha and protect our precious people, I expect to see everyone I care about alive and well and standing around my hospital bed when I wake up tomorrow." Naruto said seriously.
Gaara nodded, rose up on a small wave of sand and rode it back to Konoha at high speed.
"They better appreciate what I'm doing for them." Naruto said, then returned to normal, called up his full chakra, bit his thumb and began flashing through the long series of hand signs.
----Konoha, Academy Front Grounds----
"CHERRY SPLITTER!" Sakura yelled as she hit her special attack.
A moment later the man she just hit screamed as his testicles literally exploded, despite his stone armor jutsu, which shattered a moment later as his concentration was broken. A moment later a kunai buried itself in his forehead killing him.
"Thanks for the distraction Sakura-chan, Damn rock nin are a pain in my butt." Tenten said, suddenly dodged a kick, spun and drove a kunai to the hilt in the unknown nin's crotch.
Then everyone was frozen when they felt it, a surge of chakra so powerful they knew they'd be dead if they were closer
"Kyuubi." Ezara said, she'd felt that power before, literally up close and personal, so she was able to shake off the fear effect it had on everyone first, saw the opening she's been waiting for and with a quick burst of blinding speed dismembered Mizuki, he was dead before he even realized what happened. She watched him fall apart. "That was my good friend Naruto unleashing his full power, so unless you assholes want to stay and face him I suggest you surrender immediately.... and if any of his friends are hurt.... may Kami have mercy on your soul, because Naruto won't." Ezara said the last line coldly as she wiped her blade off.
"Naruto-kun is coming!" Hinata, Tenten, Sakura, Ino and Temari squealed happily, Sekka smiled, Shikamaru and Kankurou smirked.
"I'd listen to her if I were you. We're Naruto's best friends and even we have trouble controling him when he's like that." Shikamaru said calmly, though it was only half true, he'd never felt anything like that before, but knew it had to be Kyuubi.
"SAND COFFIN!" Gaara yelled.
All the remaining enemy nin were suddenly encased in rock hard sand from the neck down.
They all turned to Gaara as he rode in on a 13 foot sand wave, stopped near them, his open right hand pointed at the captured nin, he raised his left at Ezara and Sekka, now standing together, his face emotionless...
"Who are you?" Gaara asked in his dead voice.
Hinata immediately dashed in front of them, arms wide. "Their friends Gaara, don't hurt them, they saved us." Hinata said.
The Diplomats were cowering together terrified.
Gaara lowered his hand. "Then they are my friends as well. Is anyone hurt and shall I kill these men?" Gaara asked as he looked at the trapped men, his open hand twitching in anticipation of crushing them. They'd tried to take his new friends from him, and NO ONE took anything from him.
She hadn't known him long, but Hinata definitely got the impression that Gaara didn't play around, he made a desion and that was that.
"Your call Hinata, you're in charge here since I'm a civilian." Ezara said calmly, but kept an eye on that Gaara kid that just showed up, she knew the look of a stone cold killer, and he had it in his eyes..
Hinata glanced around and saw everyone looking at her. She thought a moment and set her jaw. "Ezara, seal Mizuki's head in a scroll for later, Ino, Sakura, Shikamaru, take the Diplomates, Temari and Kankurou into the shalter and guard them, keep everyone calm. Tenten, we're going back to the stadium to help as much as we can, Ezara and Sekka stand guard out here. Gaara, when we're clear.... kill them, then join us back at the stadium." Hinata said seriously, but with a little sadness in her voice at the end.
Gaara waited until everyone was clear, even the big woman and girl Hinata had called Ezara and Sekka, he looked at the trapped nin with his old dead expression, and with a hint of sadistic glee closed his hand. "SAND BURIAL." He said as his hand closed, the men exploded in a huge shower of blood that his sand caught all of and absorbed before retuning to the gourd on his back. "Their blood makes her happy.".Gaara said as he turned to them.
"Her?" Ezara asked, eye brows slightly raised.
"Shukaku." Gaara said, saw the recognition in Ezara's eyes, his sand pulled their remaining bones and other bits deep under the ground so it looked like nothing happened, then his sand lifted him, turned and took him away.
"Naruto-kun has the most interesting friends." Ezara said with a smile.
----Battlefield, Half a mile from Konoha----
Naruto screamed in agony as he finished his physical transformation into a 50' Kyuubi. "DIE MORTAL SCUM!" Kyuubi roared and unleashed a massive stream of flame from his mouth that incinerated everything it touched. He leapt near the reamining army to his right an unleashed another massive flame stream as his head turned frpm right to left, leaving a giant crecent of scorched earth and ash. Looking up he spat a huge fireball straight up at the clouds, a few moments later it exploded and dispersed the dark clouds."YOU THINK RAIN CAN STOP THE LORD OF HELL? DIE INSOLENT WORMS!" Kyuubi roared, whipped his 9 tails around and slaughtered the remaining enemies around him, turned toward the other group advancing on Konoha as fast as they could, a group of about 400. Kyuubi set his stance and opened his mouth wide, fanning his tails out, a fireball appeared at the end or each as a huge ball of red chakra formed in front of his mouth and quickly grew to about 20 feet. 'Forgive me for the damage I'm about to do.' Kyuubi thought. "CHAKRA CANNON!". Kyuubi ROARED and unleashed 1 of his most powerful attacks. The blast or red chakra hit the center of the remaining nin and exploded in a giant flash of light and mushroom cloud. When the smoke and dust cleared a minute later they were all gone, where they'd been was a smoking hole almost a half mile across and deep, the ground and everything in it was just gone.
----Konoha, Outdoor Stadium----
Like everyone else, Tsunade was frozen in shock at what she'd just seen, heard and felt, she'd never experienced anything of that magnitude before. Snapping out if it only 1 thought entered her mind.... Naruto. She ordered the ANBU to kill any remaining enemies that won't surrender, to lock up any that do, abd have her Elite Jounin meet her outside Konoha where the blast was.
----5 minutes later----
Tsunade was standing at the edge of the massive crater, her jaw hanging open, to her right was Shizune, Jiraiya, his clothes still splattered with blood, then Anko, Kurenai, Kakashi, Might Guy, Hiashi, Hizashi, Chouza, Inoichi, Shikaku and Tsume, all in the same state, total shock. "Wait.... where's Naruto-kun! Only Kyuubi could of done this.... so where is he?" Tsunade said, noticabley worried.
Kakashi suddenly cut his thumb, flashed through the hand signs and and touched the ground. "SUMMON!" He said, a moment later his entire pack appeared. "Find Naruto at once, he could be hurt." Kakashi commanded.
The nin dogs all began sniffing the air as everyone watched them, then Pakkun jumped up onto the head of the huge black bulldog sniffed a few times "I think I found him, follow m!" Pakkun said, leapt down and took off around the crater at top speed, everyone following close behind.
A few minutes later they stopped behind her. "DEAR KAMI NO!!!" Tsunade screamed and thundered to Naruto's side, her sandles leaving imprints in the hard ground. She was already flashing through hand signs for her most powerful diagnostic jutsu as her knees hit the ground. Before her Naruto was face down in the dirt and totally nude. A brown jacket was thrown over Naruto's lower body as she extended her glowing hands, her face filled with fear. "HOT FUCKING DAMN!" Tsunade screamed at the top of her lungs a few momentslater, a giant smile on her face. "He's alive, but his chakra is exhausted and his entire body is strained in a way I've never seen before, but he's gonna make it! You are the luckiest little shit I've ever met in my life Naruto,.anyone else would be dead if they were in your condition."
----August 22, 9:03 AM, Hospital, Room 214----
"At least go to the cafeteria and get something Hinata-chan, I'll sit here until you get back. You've been sitting here all night." Hannah Hyuuga said.
"Sorry Kaa-san, but I'm not leaving until my Naruto-kun is awake." Hinata said firmly, but tiredly, slumped in the chair, then her head turned to the she smiled.
""Is Naruto-kun awake yet? Just in case I brought everyone some...." Ayame said.
"I smell Ichiraku Ramen!" Naruto interrupted loudly.
Everyone turned toward the bed and smiled, Naruto was sitting up, almost drooling as he stared at the boxes of ramen in Ayame's hands.
"I think we found the cure for everything.... Ichiraku ramen, I think you'd come back from the dead for some." Tsunade said with a laugh..
"NARUTO-KUUUN!" Hinata squealed as she ran and dove on top of Naruto, hugging him tightly, and whether intentional or not, his face was squashed between her breasts as she hugged his head, his arms waving wildly.
Hannah just giggled quietly.
"Aren't you going to break them up?" Tsunade asked casually.
"In a minute.... okay Hinata-chan, that's enough, let him go." Hannah said.
Hinata looked, realized she was smothering Naruto in her chest, and released him, embarrassed she'd done that in front of everyone. "I'm sorry Naruto-kun." Hinata said softly and slipped off the bed.
Naruto looked around and smiled and who was there. Hinata, and her mother Hannah, Tenten, Ayame, Tsunade, Shizune and standing in the corner silent, almost invisible, Gaara. "Morning, where's everyone else? Was anyone hurt and did we win?"
"Looks like I'm just in time for once, and I brought company." Kakashi said as he walked in, followed by Sasuke, Temari, Kankurou, Anko, Kurenai and her team of Shikamaru, Sakura and Ino.
"I'm not cleaning up the mess you made yesterday baka, your lucky you didn't kill us all." Sasuke said with a smirk.
Naruto looked at Sasuke confused. "What mess? I destroyed some trees and Gaara dropped enough sand on them to make a beach, but nothing we can't fix."
Shikamaru sighed. "Look out the window at the Main Gate."
"Go ahead Naruto, but watch the hospital gown, we don't need to see your underwear." Tsunade said and smirked. "You have a cute little butt though." Tsunade said and smiled as Hinata and the other girls blushed.
"What?" Naruto said, slightly embarrassed.
"I'll tell you later when the girls aren't around, now go look." Tsunade said.
Naruto gave her a little glare, slipped out the other side of the bed and looked out the window toward the front gate. It took him a few moments to focus his eyes, when he did he gasped in shock and spun around. "Is that a.... a...."
"Crater... hai, about a half a mile wide and deep I figure, part of the road and a big section of forest are gone. I hope you and your friend can fix it." Tsunade said.
"I can." Gaara said emotionlessly. "I'll fill it with the sand Shukaku crushed them with."
"Thank you Gaara. Back in bed Naruto, I have to check you over before you can leave." Tsunade said, onlyslightly surprised.
Gaara nodded slightly.
Naruto pouted, then got back in bed. "I hate Hospitals. there's nothing to do and the food is bad."
Temari walked up to Naruto. "Don't be so fussy Naruto-kun, you'll be out soon.... maybe this will cheer you up." Temari said then lifted her shirt and flashed her big bare breasts at Naruto.
Naruto immediately smiled.
Hinata giggled hard and covered her mouth with her hands, then harder when Tenten stepped next to her and did the same thing..
"Oh what the hell, ladies do it." Tsunade said as she motioned with her hands to make a semi-circle around Naruto, heard them all sigh or giggle a moment, they formed a line around Naruto's bed, backs to the men, then she lead them in a group titflash.
Every guy in the room was stunned despite not being able to actually see them. This is the momemt Jiraiya chose to appear in the window for a surprise visit, just in time to see a wall of bare breasts, including Tsunade's, his eyes got big as saucers, his jaw dropped, he got a bad nosebleed from both nostrils, paled and fell out of the window, a moment later hit the ground with a crash.
Tsunade closed her shirt and tied the grey belt. ran to the window, looked at the ground below, and started laughing her ass off.
----11:42 AM, Room 215----
"You broke your left arm, fractured six ribs, badly twisted your left knee, and wrenched your neck, you'll be in a hospital bed for the next week in casts, which means none of your.... research, and you're glad it happened? Un-fucking-believable! And Jiraiya.... if you don't stop staring at my chest with that perverted grin I'll assign you daily enemas!" Tsunade said sternly, almost angrily.
"Boobies!" Jiraiya said happily.
"That does it, daily enemas by a male nurse, and I'm cutting off your pain medication!" Tsunade said angrily, turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
"Its worth it." Jiraiya said happily as he was planning a new series in his head called 'Kunoichi Gone Wild'.
