War Comes To Kumo.

The leaf and cloud ninja were battling against ninja from the earth and sound village they were at a disadvantage in numbers because many ninja had gotten caught in the genjutsu, not to mention that the allied ninja were trying to fight in an enclosed area and trying to protect the civilians at the same time which left little room for movement.

After barely dodging one of the earth ninja's jutsu they were caught in an attack by the sound ninja and had to be saved by one of the Kumo Nin. Suddenly one of the Kumo Nin came out with a plan it was relatively simple: the Kumo ninja would fight the earth ninja because with their lightning jutsu they would have an advantage over Earth, Rock and Sand jutsu, while the leaf ninja would fight the Sound ninja who they had experience fighting before.

Now that they knew who they had to fight all that was remaining was how they would fight because along with them they had 9 genin 1 of whom was not able to fight. "Alright this is how we go about it."

"Konohamaru I want you to go with Shino and finish your fight with that Noitra kid I have a bad feeling about him. That kid is not your typical genin, he reminds me of Gaara when I fought him all those years ago, he has the same eyes." Naruto commented to his comrades..

"Hey I can handle him on my own, I don't need Shino sensei to help me," the young Sarutobi ninja told his sensei. "Besides you guys need all the Jonin available to fight these guys."

"Hey, stick to the plan Konohamaru you remember the plan don't you?" Naruto asked his young protégé. Konohamaru nodded his head in understanding and along with Shino disappeared through the hole in the wall Kiba had created earlier when attacking the enemy

Flashback

after watching the genin training the Hokage had come to the decision that the genin would be told of the upcoming potential situation. After informing them about all this she had told them that they had the option to not take part in the battle. However they all wanted to fight and help their sensei. Therefore it was decided to have each genin team up with one Jonin, after talking it over with the Hokage and his fellow Jonin and depending on their fighting styles and abilities Shikamaru decided on the teams as such.

"This is how it's going to be" said Shikamaru "there are 9 of you genin brats but only 8 of us, however since Chiruku here can't fight that makes 8 of you and 8 of us, he looked back towards the Hokage and got a nod. So you guys will pair up with one of us if a battle should come and remember this is not a small task this is real battle where there are no rules, no ring and no proctors when you lose you don't get disqualified you die, it's as simple as that so make sure you listen to us."

He turned to Kenpachi and said "Zaraki you're with me, with your skill with the sword and your large chakra reserves you're going to be with me, since I am a distance fighter and you are a close range fighter our teamwork will work best."

"Next Hirako you will be partnered with Rock Lee with your scouting and your provenance in your clan's ninjutsu will go very well together with Lee's taijutsu abilities.

"Hanabi, with your skills set you're going to team up with Tenten because with her accuracy with weapons and your Byakugan you can take out your enemy faster and more accurately.

Shino will team up with Konohamaru because with his scouting skills and your Taijutsu skills you will be able to fight smart, not to mention if you're anything like your sensei you're going to find yourself in the thick of it with the odds against you."

Moegi you will team up with Hinata with Hinata's Byakugan and your skill in medical jutsu and super strength you will be able to defeat your enemies in a single strike similar to Tenten and Hanabi.

Udon you will team up with Kiba your skill with traps and ink beasts coupled with Kiba's Taijutsu you two will be very effective fighters."

"Tatsuki you will team up with Naruto with your skills in poison and acid jutsu you will be able to create openings through which Naruto will be able to attack."

"Finally Kenshin you're going to saddle up with Chouji, while he hits high you hit low, with you being trained by Ibiki himself you're going to be good at extracting info from the enemy not to mention you having a medical background you will be a good match for Chouji. Besides that I also want you to be in contact with Udon so that you can give him valuable info that he can send us via his ink beasts, is that understood?" he asked turning to both Udon and Kenshin

"Ossu Shikamaru Sensei"

It was then that the Hokage spoke:"Everyone listen up, if battle and enemy ninja come, your going to take part in this battle there will only be two choices either win and live or lose and die. The enemy we will face will be very skilled and very strong and they will have only 1 thing on their minds to destroy or be destroyed.

"Normally Genin don't usually take part in war but you are very talented for your age, but don't get cocky and remember while you may be smart and talented it is not a substitute for experience each of your Jonin commanders have faced battle many times and have come out victorious in battle and even if they lost they learned something in the process."

"Remember you are shinobi and as shinobi your main goal in battle is to kill the enemy quickly without wasting energy. If that means that to kill the enemy you have to strike from behind you do so, if it means saving yourself, and always remember that you will be under the command of your Jonin sensei at all times is that understood?" She asked the genin who all nodded. "Good then now back to training brats."

End Flashback

"Chiruku unfortunately you can't fight but there is still plenty you can do." said Kiba, there are many other ninja who have fallen under the genjutsu spell so you have the responsibility of breaking the genjutsu spell on them so that they can fight, and after that help protect the civilians and the nobles and Daimyo. You can't use your Ninjutsu here but you can still use Taijutsu and your weapons so use them. Is that clear?" Kiba asked his wounded student Chiruku nodded and said "yes, sensei I won't let you down." He said enthusiastically.

"Good, make sure you don't" Kiba said before looking up at the Kage tower looking up he saw the village leaders were fighting their opponents. Lee noticed his friend's expression and said "don't worry Kiba-kun they are the Kage after all they are not pushovers, Kiba nodded and said "yea your right Lee," after creating an opening the leaf ninja spread out to find their targets with a huge and malicious grin on their faces hunting season was now officially open.

In The Kage Box

"The only way to get out of this pyramid barrier is to kill you." said Gaara, "well then that will make my job a lot easier." he said with a sadistic grin.

"That's what you think you stupid little brat" said Misora Hibari. "Hold on Hibari I think our opponents deserve to know why they are going to die, turning to the 3 kages he said "it's pretty simple you see." Kumo, Konoha, and Suna have grown too powerful what with Kumo and Konoha retaining their Jinchuuriki after the war.

"Not to mention Suna having allied themselves with Konoha, so when I kill the Kazekage I will take over Suna and make sure that Suna becomes one with Iwa just as it once was all those many years ago when Iwa had been created. As for Konoha I want to see it burn to the ground especially since both the Third and Fourth Hokage destroyed my family.

"No one can deny me my revenge today not even the gods in the heavens above and when I defeat the Raikage it will just be the icing on the cake. It is also the reason I hooked up with Kabuto because I knew Kabuto had a grudge against The leaf and Naruto Namikaze so in one shot I get to end the Namikaze bloodline and the village hidden in the leaves, now enough chit-chat let us begin this fight." The crazy Nin said.

The three kages began to fight their respective opponents Gaara was facing Misora Hibari a water user. A was fighting against Matsushita, swordsman against swordsman while Tsunade fought Yagiro Homura. The three kages had finally begun to fight.

Meanwhile

The leaf genin were having a splendid time not only were they actually getting to fight they were actually getting to fight without holding back and were up against some strong opponents, Kenpachi was just slaughtering sound enemies left and right because thanks to Shikamaru strategies he was acting like a spear.

Shikamaru was able to pinpoint the enemies strategy and fighting styles and was quickly able to devise counter strategies and with Kenpachi around all Shikamaru had to do was point and Kenpachi would go forth and either kill them or maim them depending on the situation and because he was only using his Kenjutsu skills and basic Taijutsu he wasn't burning much chakra and since Shikamaru didn't have to actively fight that much He was saving chakra although with the long shadows cast by the natural surroundings of the village Shikamaru was able to quickly pierce and strike his opponents from any direction.

This caused his enemies to do one of two things either get caught in his jutsu and die or they would try and run away only to be caught and quickly killed by Kenpachi. as for the few enemies who did try to kill Shikamaru they would be quickly killed by his trench knives, not only was Kenpachi holding his own against many skilled ninja but also his attacks were making it look like he was on a rampage when in fact the opposite was true, "that boy has unbelievable strength." thought Shikamaru to himself while dodging an attack.

Suddenly Kenpachi was stopped by a large Earth ninja wielding a katana he introduced himself as Miyamoto Musashi. He was a tall man with roguish features and had an Iwa headband on his head, "I was wondering who was slaughtering these ninja now I see it is nothing but a young genin ha! I will make quick work of you, and that idiotic looking Naram" he said boastfully. Shikamaru immediately recognized the man and said to Kenpachi "Zaraki be careful that man is a Jonin in the Hidden Rock Village and is a master swordsman in his own right and has been marked as a very dangerous man." He told his young charge, "is that so well then please do come and try." said Kenpachi with an evil grin

The man suddenly got irritated and said "oh so the small little genin wants to play tough huh alright let's see how you deal with this" and so saying he made a couple of hand signs and said "Ishi Bunshin No Jutsu!" ("Stone Clone Jutsu!") Kenpachi Just smirked and said "alright then bring it I'm not afraid of any clone," and so saying he used his speed to slash the clone and the clone was cut in half and fell down only to join together again and stand up again "what the fuck is that thing" asked the Genin.

"Hehehehe this clone is no ordinary clone for you see the beauty of this clone is that no matter how much it is damaged or cut it simply joins together again and keeps on fighting." "Oh is that so well then allow me to Even the odds a bit," and so saying he cut his finger and went through a series of hand signs and said "Ninpou: Kuchiyose no jutsu"("Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu") when the smoke cleared the Earth ninja saw that the young Genin had summoned a 7 ft tall bear with a nasty looking sword in his hand, "Yo sup Pachi what'd you call me"for the bear asked his summoner, before he could answer he was forced to block an attack from Musashi and his earth clone, "No time for explanations man , but long story short I need my other blade to fight this guy and this guy has some weird kind of jutsu that allows him to make a clone that regenerates itself when struck, now less chitchat and more fighting" he said in a very serious voice.

"Now hand me my blade and get to work" he said forcefully "war has come to town and we are in the right fucking middle of it." "understood," the summoned animal said with a grin and with a single hand sign summoned a sealed scroll, and handed it to the genin, who then spread some of his blood on the seal to open it and made a hand sign to extract his other blade, he then stared at his enemy and said "sorry about that I had to get something he said pointing to his blade," by normal standards you could not call it a katana because for one it looked like an oversized elegant cleaver and not a formal "katana" and no proper hilt it had no tsuba; what Kenpachi was holding was the cloth-wrapped tang, it had a black blade with a silver edge.

"Hehehehe you call that a blade why that isn't a blade it's a butchers cleaver" the earth nin said with a nasty laugh, his laugh was cut short as he had narrowly missed his having his head cut off by the genin's blade "man, what is it with you people, you never shut up, and for your information yes, this is a blade however it is a very special blade." Do you know why my blade looks like this it's because it was made from a bear's claw and as such is named "Kuma no Tsume"(Bear claw).

Now that you know this let's fight, before Kenpachi got into his stance he turned to his summoned partner and said to him said "hey Kumashiro I got a message from the Hokage for you."

"Oh yeah what's that" asked the bear with peaked interest while easily maiming a ninja who dared come close to him, the message is "Hunting season is open go crazy and have fun but don't make too big a mess" he told the bear.

"Damn you sure about that Dawg!" He asked with a maniacal grin, "I quote those words directly!" the young genin said with an equally maniacal grin. "Well then far be it from me to disobey the words of the Hokage." The said young bear sharpening his claws on a nearby tree trunk and so saying jumped into the fray of attacking shinobi and made quick work of them, in a few moments the group of twenty shinobi were lying around the battle field bleeding profusely from claw and bite marks and missing various body parts.

Kenpachi then began to fight the real Musashi while Kumashiro began to fight his clone, the earth nin also started to get serious and said alright "I'll kill you and that little bear as well and then ill skin him and put his pelt in front of my fire place!," Kenpachi grinned sadistically "well you can certainly try to" starting his fight with the ninja in earnest.

The two ninja started their fight at first Musashi wasn't taking the fight seriously but after being nearly killed a couple of times he began to fight serious and the speed of his attacks increased but to his astonishment the young Genin was matching him blow for blow and not only that but thanks to his cleaver like blade he was able to block most of his attacks and getting in a few blows himself he was able to injure the rock ninja.

Shikamaru on the other hand was having a hard time because he was having to fight in an enclosed area with limited shadows and with the Sound and Earth ninja ganging up on him and he was quickly losing chakra and weapons, also with the sound waves being given off by the sound ninja his balance and equilibrium was bad, finally after getting hit by another blast of sound waves he fell to his knees his balance now lost, not to mention that he was almost completely out of chakra, the ninja were now ganging up on him and were about impale him, "heh, damn I'm about to die when I just got married I didn't even get time for my honeymoon, heh what a Drag , sorry Temari I guess I lost."

Naruto had only one thing on his mind: finding and killing Kabuto, after spotting him briefly in the stands Kabuto had ran off and quickly disappeared into the crowd, after taking off with Tatsuki he had her and a couple of shadow clones take care of the enemy ninja coming toward them. Tatsuki had been given strict orders: don't waste chakra don't waste times kill your enemy as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Although Tatsuki wasn't having trouble with either Killing her enemies or keeping up with her sensei but she was confused about why Naruto was so obsessed with him, so she asked him: "hey sensei, why are you so obsessed and worried about this Kabuto guy I mean, sure he may be powerful but not as powerful as you I mean you were strong enough to even tame the Kyuubi inside of you, so compared to that how strong can he really be" she asked naïvely.

"Let me give you a little lesson Tatsuki the most crucial thing you must know in battle is to NEVER EVER underestimate your opponent because while they may not be as strong as you or as smart as you they might find a way to turn the tables on you and many of my enemies have found that out to their misfortune."

"That said about why I am so worried about Kabuto let me make it simple take all the medical ability of the Hokage, the knowledge of how to mix and match poisons of Shizune, the Intelligence of Shikamaru and the Ruthlessness of Anko Mitarashi when she is pissed off, and all the ninjutsu of Orochimaru. Now I want you to take all those things and combine them into one body and you get Kabuto."

"Trust me Tatsuki chan I am not easily worried but that man I am truly worried about that man, this man is powerful enough to take my Rasengan at point blank range and lived to tell about it. In some ways it's my fault he survived this long" he told the young Genin, "Now less talking and more fighting, there are some enemy ninja trying to sneak behind us. So act quickly and get rid of them Kabuto should be just ahead."

"Ninpou: Gaidoku Unka!" ("Ninja Art: Poison Fog!") Tatsuki said spewing a very heavy and smog of purple colored smoke that was actually poison that killed everything it came in contact with including most of the enemy ninja although the ones that escaped the fog were not able to escape the poison tipped senbon needles.

Deep Within the Forest Of Death of Kumo

Konohamaru and Shino had finally caught up with Noitra and on the way they found his two teammates dead and almost cut in half from Noitra's axe after at the end of the bloody trail they found Noitra and another Jonin waiting for them. Konohamaru was itching to fight so he said with a gleeful grin "so how we going to do this guys he asked his opponents one on one or two on two, either way works for me cuz either way I'm going to kick your asses." "Heh, don't get cocky brat, but no, you will fight Noitra here and I will fight this guy, and then when we are done with you, you're going to wish you never crossed our paths." The rock Jonin said with a smirk. "Very well if it is an individual fight you want then let us begin" Shino said taking his stance.

Noitra was also about to attack the leaf genin when he said "hey Noitra since this is a one on one match how about we go up a little ahead I don't want to have our fight interrupted, wouldn't we?" "Heh, alright fine lets go wherever you want to die is fine with me" said the rock genin, either way the Sarutobi line shall end with your death today." "Yeah whatever, let's go hey good luck and make sure you don't die and you don't lose Shino sensei." Konohamaru told his sensei. "The same goes for you Konohamaru and be careful I have a bad felling about him." Shino told his young charge.

Meanwhile

Kabuto was getting bored, he had waited patiently for Naruto to find him but he was taking too long so he decided to give him another clue, making a series of hands he cut his finger and said "Ninpou: Kuchiyose no jutsu"( Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu) a large poof of smoke appeared and when the smoke had disappeared a large 15 foot large snake had appeared in the middle of the village and started rampaging, when the ninja saw the giant snake all the ninja started running away from it, the leaf nin however seeing the giant snake knew that Naruto would soon appear over there and so all the leaf nin quickly finished off their opponents and began running towards the snake.

With Naruto

"Hey sensei look at that a giant snake" Tatsuki said, "yeah I see it, seems Kabuto has gotten bored and is looking for me, well then far be it from me to disappoint him. "Hey Tatsuki -chan why don't you move back a bit," he told his young charge after doing as she was told she watched in fascination as her sensei cut his finger with his kunai and then did a series of hand signs and said "Ninpou: Kuchiyose no jutsu"( Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu.) Suddenly a huge toad the size of a house appeared with two medium-sized toads on his head and two smaller toads and Naruto on his head. Tatsuki was amazed by the huge toad but unfortunately had no time to check it out because at that moment a group of sound ninja had appeared out of nowhere and ready to fight, so Tatsuki took her stance and began to fight.

"Hey chief toad, hey ma and pa what's up," "Naruto-Chan why have you summoned us we were just sitting down for dinner and..."

"Sorry to interrupt Ma but there is your answer right there" he said pointing in front of him, when the toads saw what he was pointing to they saw a huge snake rampaging across the village, "Orochimaru!" growled the Chief toad, "actually its Kabuto with Orochimaru cells but... never mind look the situation is this: "Gamakichi I need you and Gamatatsu to go and help Tatsuki Chan and the others deal with the enemy ninja until backup arrives she is good but she is running out of steam."

"Alright no problem Naruto I will help her out the young toad told his sage summoner let's go Tatsu and quickly jumped down to help the young genin. Turning back to Tatsuki Naruto said: "hey Tatsuki Chan these are two of my battle toads until one of the other Jonin arrive Gamakichi is in charge, is that understood?" Hai sensei, until one or more of the other sensei come to back us up I am under the command of Gamakichi senpai"

"Good I am glad o you understand make me proud and remember this is your real test, this will show how much you learned from Shizune senpai this is your chance to repay the debt you owe your master." "Hey Gamakichi, your good with the strategy stuff so until someone comes you're the ringmaster of this circus take this Genin and Gamatatsu under your command use them as you see fit."

"Sure no probs Naruto" said Gamakichi giving Naruto a thumb up, Gamatatsu also assured his friend by saying "don't worry Naruto we will handle things here you get going and don't die or else I won't get my snacks you promised me." Naruto laughed and said "Tatsu if we somehow manage to survive this I promise you I will treat you to an all you can eat Buffet" he finally turned away from the toads leaving Tatsuki with them.

"Now chief toad I know you said you have always wanted a snake-skin wallet here is your chance to get it, meanwhile I need you two sannin to help me fight Kabuto." Naruto said "this time I promise I'm going to kill that son of bitch if it s the last thing I do." Naruto said with anger in his voice, "alright everyone has their jobs now let's get to it" he said in a commanding voice, and Gamabunta just grunted and said "You better Keep that promise kid because if you don't ill end my contract with you now then hold on kid because here we go." Gamabunta said unsheathing his sword and taking a huge leap forwards towards the snake.
