I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters.

One Man Army

Naruto slashed what seemed like the millionth creature and once again another stepped forward behind him, slashing at him. Naruto ducked under the attack then spun, jumping and kicking it into the creatures on that side, clearing a space which filling instantly. At the rate he was fighting, he couldn't even create clones. Much less use his much, much more entertaining powers, such as his nine puppets. After a moment, he decided to test the repulsive abilities of his eyes.

"Here goes," Naruto grinned slamming his right foot down and smashing several massive boulders up around him.

He held his hand out and the boulders all stopped then blasted outward, clearing the area around him. Then, he created three clones to keep the area around him clear just long enough.

"Alright Kurama," Naruto sighed. "Let's roll 'em out."

Kurama formed the Tiger Seal inside Naruto's mindscape and Naruto did the same in reality.

"Nine Masked Beasts," Naruto spoke, the seal forming over him, only Sakura recognizing it. "Golden Snake, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Souther Sage, Grim Reaper, Northern Sage, Celestial Maiden!"

The nine puppets shot out of the seals, shredding their way into the army of creatures as Naruto drew his Sword of Kusanagi. A moment later, Sasuke, Shisui, and Itachi were all standing shoulder to shoulder with Naruto, all with their Mangekyo Sharingan active.

"Watch your vision you two," Naruto warned.

"We'll need the help," Itachi stated. "If our vision fails, so be it."

"If nothing else, this fight will test our limits," Shisui stated. "Shall we Itachi?"

"Let's," Itachi nodded as they formed their Susanoos.

Shisui's was green with missile-fin-like protrusions on its forearms and on the sides of its jaw. It had armor with splints shaped like its ribs and spherical pauldrons, and it held a drill-like weapon that may have been a sword. It had glowing white eyes and as soon as it formed, the chest opened revealing a glowing green inside with a glowing red tomoe inside. Then, green chakra senbon began shooting out, not very accurately, but it began to decimate the creatures around them. Itachi's Susanoo, formed a ring of red chakra with three red tomoe evenly spaced around it and threw it. Then another, and another. As they flew, they separated into the three tomoe with fanned out, clearing long channels through the creatures. Sasuke was cutting creatures right and left down with a chakra sword, held by his Susanoo and covered in Amaterasu. The result was black flames around them all. Naruto's puppets were destroying anything they came to, and Naruto's clones had formed up with Naruto to make the Three Clone Squad. Naruto and his clones, and his puppets following, had left the Uchiha, slaughtering their way away from the others and toward the Thirteen. As they fought the army began to almost circle around them like they were the eye of a tornado, or a drain, pulling everything in. Naruto could see that Sasuke, Shisui, and Itachi were still obliterating the creatures that attacked them, but Naruto was the main threat, apparently, since only around a thousand were attacking the three Uchiha, with the entirety of the rest of Naruto's army being completely ignored and left on the sidelines, and the entirety of the rest of the Forbidden's army was swarming toward Naruto.

Naruto ducked as a Garian dragon whipped over him, mowing down a wide section of creatures, with the Rasengan Clone instantly blasted. The Double-Edged Swords clone was being extremely effective, slashing creatures right and left and using the swords to send a massive cloud of Wind Swords out of every corpse his sword cut, creating large gaps in the army around them. The Garian Blade clone was, as always, largely support but once in a while a creature would manage to get to it only to find a retracted Garian Blade sticking out of his back. Then, of course, there was Naruto, who was wielding his combined Double-Edged Swords in his left hand and the Sword of Kusanagi in his right. The Sword of Kusanagi was usually at its normal length but once in a while Naruto would extend it outward of a horizontal slash and clear a section. With his Double-Edged Sword, he was doing pretty much the same thing as the Double-Edged Clone was doing, except that Naruto's Wind Swords were twice as powerful, and cleared twice as much area.

Finally, Naruto stopped, his clones doing the same. The creatures had stopped charging, instead, forming a wide circle around them, constantly shifting and turning. Naruto held his Double-Edged Sword, at the ready, his clones doing the same. However, the creatures were not their concern, it would seem. The circle, was a battle arena.
