I'm am so very very sorry for the late update. I had several tests and projects because it's nearly the end of the schoolyear here in my country/school. But anyway, here's the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it! Oh and I made a mistake with Chouji's power, it was supposed to be sound not acid, I forgot to change it before I posted it.
Disclaimer: Cool, I actually remembered to put this. Anyway, I don't really see the purpose of this seeing that we actually wouldn't be writing fanfics if we actually owned this. But anyway, I don't own Naruto blah blah blah.
Chapter 5: Fight for the throne
"Listen, I want all of you to be on guard, patrol the places, we mustn't let our guards down." Tsunade gathered all of her warriors from the highest to the lowest ranking (except for Tenten) "We never know when they will attack so we must be always ready. Shikamaru, explain the strategy."
Shikamaru bowed as he went pass Tsunade to get to the table. He placed down a big scroll of paper that seemed like a map. "Okay, to lead the offenses are General Gai and General Kakashi and their teams, they will be the very front line, and they will stay 500 meters ahead of the front gate along with their group. For the secondary offense line are Sasuke's, Neji's and Shino's team. They will lead that line of offense and they will stay 250 meters ahead of the front gate." Shikamaru continued; Sasuke, Neji and Shino nodded.
"Next, the ones who will guard the entrance just in case they went pass our front line: General Asuma, General Kurenai and General Anko along with their teams." Shikamaru pointed at the map as he continued to explain the strategy.
"For the inner defense: Naruto, Lee and Kiba, you and your teams will stay behind the front gate just in case they are able to get through. Sakura, Ino and I will stay to guard the palace and make sure that they won't get in. Sakura will stay with us for the reason that she is also our medic. We will be the last line of defense." Shikamaru ended his explaining; he took back his scroll of paper, bowed at the empress and went back to where he originally stood.
"I know that our army is weaker, Tenten, one of our best warriors, is injured and they have Hinata with them. But… no matter what, we must defend our kingdom… our dynasty, we won't let them succeed in their evil plan." Tsunade said as somewhat like a morale booster.
"Dao!" Kakashi called the captain of the gate guards; he went to Kakashi and bowed "Gather all the men, women and children that are not a part of the army (obviously there are some men who don't fight) andget them to a safe place, a dangerous battle is about to take place soon." The captains of the gate guards, along with some other guards exited the room.
"Get to your positions, we will never know when they will attack, so we have got to be ready for their attack that may come anytime soon." Tsunade ordered, soon all of them left the room.
-At an underground castle-
"All of you! Get ready, tonight, a battle will begin and Tsunade's reign will cease to exist." Wei Yan was gloating "Get ready to fight, this battle will end with us triumphant!" the warriors left the room to prepare for the battle that was about to take place.
The higher ranking warriors were preparing their armor "All of you, hurry up, we shall attack their kingdom soon." Chin Chin said as she left the room where the females were changing into their armor.
"It is time to overthrow the empress off her thrown and let our army reign." Ji Yen said in an arrogant tone.
"Yup, and finally we get to fight in the battle field this time." a girl with navy blue hair that is in a pony in the right side of her head and brown eyes said.
"Looks like you are all fired up to fight, but don't get to excited Xing Jun, most of their warriors are relatively weak." Lina said to the girl with navy blue hair who is apparently Xing Jun.
"Are you ready to return to the kingdom of Konoha Zi Yan?" Ji Yen asked the girl beside her who had long black her that reaches her butt that was in a half pony and also had several thin braids, some that fall in front of her face and some that are with her pony.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Zi Yan asked.
"I mean, we are going to attack Konoha, where you once used to live and where you're ex-boyfriend serves as one of the Captains." Ji Yen said "Are you ready to face him after 3 years?"
"I… I have forgotten my love for him, he left me and abandoned me, they all left me during that time, and worst of all, he betrayed me. I will not forgive them." Zi Yan said with a little tone of hesitance at first.
"You hurry, we are leaving." Chin Chin suddenly entered the room to remind them and left just as quickly. Soon they were all prepared and ready to fight in battle.
"Finally, after a long wait, we are finally going to conquer the kingdom of Konoha." Chu Lao said as he changed into his battle wardrobe.
"Soon, we shall rule this country." a guy with black spiky hair with red highlights said "Aren't you excited Guan He, we are finally fighting in the battlefield at last. I'll finally get to use my weapon again."
"You are to noisy Gan Ning, have you considered shutting your mouth for once?" the gut with long brown hair tied in a high pony and bangs that fall in front of his face, who is also apparently named Guan He said to guy who is apparently named Gan Ning.
"Both of you stop it and hurry up, we are about to leave." Zei Shu said. Soon they were all done preparing and left the room.
Wei Yan wore a white mask that covers the upper half of his face, armor covering most of his body that was color green with gold lining, black gloves, boots that reached half of his shin (sp?). Chin Chin tied her light green hair in a high pony with a red ribbon and was wearing a green upper armor that was sleeveless and it reached until her neck with a white long sleeved shirt under the armor, dark brown pants and place green armors on her shins and thighs and black shoes (Chinese shoes).
Zei Shu wore a green helmet with golden lining, black sleeveless shirt that reached his neck (a shirt that really looks tight), blue armors on her lower arms, black pants with golden linings that made a tribal design with green armors on his shins and black shoes. Chu Lao had his hair pulled back in a high pony tail, he was wearing armor in most parts of his body (his chest, back, forearm and foreleg) that was color green with gold lining. Han Fei wore a white bandana (the one you only place in the forehead), chest and back black armor with gold lining, sleeveless black shirt that reaches his neck and beige pants.
Xing Jun wore a black tube top with gold tribal designs, black shoulder, forearm and shin armors, beige pants with a red cloth that serves as a belt. Ji Yen wore a yellow V-neck light green tummy(?) armor with (once again) gold lining, lower arm armor, beige short with armor around her thighs, and armor that reaches from her shin to her knee.
Lina wore a yellow sleeveless Chinese shirt that reaches the neck and yellow Chinese capri's (sp?) with silver lining, yellow lower arm armor. Zi Yan wore a white robe that reached until her thighs, it had floral designs, a white cloth that served as a belt, white shorts (w/c was almost covered by the robe), tube-top-like purple armor, purple lower arm armor (under the sleeves) and lower leg armor.
Xi Dao wore a black upper body armor (like a shirt that was round neck) with gold lining, as well as armor on the sides of his thighs, beige pants with lower leg armors. Gan Ning wore a red bandana; no upper body clothes instead, a big tattoo of a dragon on his chest, black pants, lower arm armors. Guan He wore a green helmet, and his whole body was probably covered with armor that was green. (finally, that's done)
-Front of the palace, in the huge stairs-
Sasuke and Sakura were done preparing. Sasuke wore an upper body blue armor that reached his neck (but was open) with golden linings, blue cloth that served as a belt for the white pants, lower forearms and foreleg armors. Sakura wore a white silk top that covers her neck and reaches a few inches past her waist, a pink tube-top-like armor with golden tribal designs worn over the white top, beige shorts, a long pink cloth that serves as a belt that was tied on the sides (and was really long), pink boots wih golden tribal designs, lower arm armors. Sasuke was riding a black horse while Sakura was riding a white horse.
"You know what? I still remember when I was young and other children would always stay away from me and say what a freak I am because of these powers." Saukra said randomly as she stared at the starless night.
"Yeah, I remember that happening to me as well. And look at the irony now, we are the ones protecting those people." Sasuke said grinning a little.
"And then one day the late emperor Lui Bei came saying he'll seal away our powers because these might be the reason for great chaos and havoc, and I guess he was right, look what's happening now."
"Sasuke! Sakura! Are you both ready?" Neji came in riding his white horse, he was wearing a red sleeveless upper armor with golden lining that covers his neck, armors on his sides, beige pants with red lower leg armors and forearm armors.
They both nodded in response as Shino arrived with his brown horse, he was wearing, of course, his sunglasses, something similar to Neji's suit except instead of an upper-body armor, he wore a black shirt (that looks really tight, hot! joke!) "Shall we go now?" the 3 of them left.
"Okay, let's go to our places everyone and stay on guard." Shikamaru arrived at the palace along with Lee, Chouji, Ino, Naruto and Kiba. Shikamaru was wearing a red helmet with golden lining, beige long-sleeved shirt and pants, white cloth that served as a belt, red chest, lower arms, lower legs and sides armor "Our horses are about to be brought here."
Dao, the captain of the gate guards, along with other gate guards came in and brought in their horses. "Whoo! We get horses!" Kiba exclaimed as he rode a dark brown horse. Kiba wore a blue helmet with white feathers sticking out at the top, a black short-sleeved shirt, a blue armor (with golden lining) for the torso, white pants with lower leg armors and lower arm armors.
"Naturally, we would get horses since we are already in the ranking of a captain." Ino stated as she got herself the beige horse, she wore a white V-neck top, a purple tummy armor with golden lining, white capris with a design of a golden dragon, forearm and foreleg armors.
"Good, then I call the light brown horse." Chouji said as he got on the horse, he was wearing a blue helmet, white long-sleeved shirt, belt and pants, a blue armor with golden lining practically covering his whole body.
"Let's get to our posts; we must never let our guard down." Naruto said as he got on a black horse, he wore a red bandana (not just for the forehead, the one you put to cover your head), a short-sleeved shirt, red (with golden lining) upper body armor, beige pants, side (thigh) armors, lower leg and lower arm armors, and red boots (not that high).
"Well then, shall we get going?" Lee said as he rode his beige horse, Lee wore a sleeve-less green shirt and green pants, a blue armor vest with golden lining, foreleg and lower arm armors. They rode off to their post, except for Shikamaru, Ino and Sakura who just stayed there, where their supposed to stay.
-1000 meters away from the front gate-
Wei Yan, as well as his higher ranking warriors, rode a horse. "Tonight, the kingdom of Konoha will finally be ours. We will rule this dynasty. Late Emperor Lui Bei will regret his decision 15 years ago."
"Lord Wei Yan, two of the best warriors of Konoha are standing 500 meters away from their front gate, along with around a total of 40 more warriors with them." Chin Chin reported as she came back from Wei Yan's order to look ahead "And 250 meters away from the front gate stand more warriors."
"Hmm… Looks like they prepared well for our attack don't you think so Lord Wei Yan?" Zei Shu grinned.
"They may be more prepared yet, I bet that most of them are still injured from our last visit. Zei Shu! Chin Chin! You and your units will take care of these 2 generals while the rest of us head on. Not so long now, the throne will be mine at last." Zei Shu ordered.
They rode off until they reached where Kakashi and Gai stood guard. "Looks like they really prepared for their attack on our kingdom, they have more than a thousand warriors for their army." Gai whispered to Kakashi as they saw the Yang Army approaching. Gai wore a red helmet with green feathers sticking out and green shirt (long-sleeved) and pant with a black belt, chest, back, forearm and foreleg armors. Kakashi had almost the same the outfit except that he didn't have the helmet and he wore black shirt and pants.
"The guy with the mask must be their leader." stated Kakashi.
"Yeah – Oh my God! Look, he has Hinata with him!" Gai was shocked to see Hinata's body hanging on the masked guy's horse.
"We have to get Hinata back and make sure she doesn't get hurt." Kakashi said.
"Looks like this time you've prepared well." Zei Shu stated as they reached face-to-face with Kakashi and Gai.
"Mark this: we will not lose to you." said Kakashi.
"We'll see about that General. Attack!" ordered Wei Yan as Zei Shu and Chin Chin's unit attacked Kakashi's and Gai's while the rest tried to find a way to go past the battle between the two units.
"Hinata!" Kakashi tried to chase Wei Yan but found himself face-to-face with Zei Shu instead.
"Your battle's with me." said Zei Shu.
Gai found himself in a battle with Chin Chin when he suddenlt caught glimpse of Zi Yan as she rode past 'Is that… no, it can't be.' Gai thought when Chin Chin was about to punch him, her punch made him go off his horse.
-250 meters away from the front gate-
"It seems like the Yang Army began their attack." Neji stated as he stared far ahead.
"You know what; your eyesight is really good… Look, here they come." Shino stated as he saw the Yang Army charging in toward their direction "Get ready, their about to attack!" Shino warned the warriors to prepare themselves.
"They have Hinata!" Neji stated as he saw Hinata with the masked guy 'And is that… no, it can't possibly be Zi Yan… but…' Neji thought as he had a worried look for Shino.
"Here they come, let's go!" Sasuke said as he signaled them to go and charge toward the enemy. Gan Ning's, Chu Lao's and Han Fei's units met with Sasuke's, Shino's and Neji's. Neji, however stayed behind.
Sasuke was near Shino and (while they were in their horses) they would slash and throw off the enemy soldiers that charged at them with their specialized weapons: Sasuke-scimitar, Shino-daggers. Sasuke and Shino met up with Gan Ning, who was holding a very large (very) sword while they made their way through the on-going fights.
"Gan Ning? It can't be… you're alive?" Shino, along with Sasuke, was surprised to see Gan Ning.
"Yes, it can be, and yes, I am alive and well." Gan Ning said, grinning when suddenly Zi Yan appeared behind Gan Ning, obviously with a horse.
"Zi Yan?" Sauske was surprised, yet all the more was Shino.
"Zi Yan, come on, we have to get on, leave them to Gan Ning and the others!" called Ji Yen from afar, at this Zi Yan turned her horse to the direction where Ji Yen went and followed her.
"No! Zi Yan!" Shino tried to stop her.
