Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto… happy? Wait, I have a question: Do I have to seriously put up this disclaimer thing every single chapter I make?

Chapter 6: Fight for the throne part 2

"Zi Yan!" Shino yelled, but she did not stop. Shino tried to follow her but Gan Ning suddenly went in front of Shino and blocked his way.

"Where do you think you're going, have you forgotten? Never turn your back on your enemy." Gan Ning said with a smirk up his face.

"You're right; never turn your back on your enemy!" Sasuke tried attacking Gan Ning from behind with his scimitar but a huge ring blade blocked his attack, it was Han Fei.

"And look out for the backs of your comrades." said Han Fei.

Neji was hitting a lot of enemy warriors from a long range with his bow and arrow when Chu Lao made his way to find Neji in the battle. "We meet again Hyuuga. This time, I won't let you escape."

"I don't plan to escape, I will make sure I'll kill you, I'll make you regret what you did to Tenten." Neji brought out his sword knowing that he won't be able to use his bow and arrow in a close range battle.

"Oh you mean that girl, she's nothing, she's weak and useless." Chu Lao said plainly.

"How dare you!" Neji charged himself toward Chu Lao with his sword but Chu Lao evaded the attack.

-Inside the palace-

"Your Highness! The Yang Army started their attack!" a warrior reported "And Captain Tenten is missing, she's not in hospital wing, and I checked her room, her battle suit is missing."

"Sigh… It's just like her to do that, I bet she's planning to go to the battle as well to fight with the others. I expected this battle was soon to begin. Are all the people evacuated to a safer place?"

"Yes, they were all finished transferring them just an hour ago. What are we going to do now Your Highness?"

"The only thing we can do… wait, wait and see what will happen." Tsunade said.

-At the front gate-

"Xi Dao! Xing Jun! I'll leave both of you here to deal with them, I'll leave with you one hundred more warriors. I suppose that will be enough for them." Wei Yan ordered.

"Hn, this won't take so long, don't worry Lord Wei Yan, we'll catch up with you in just a while." Xi Dao said smirking.

"Don't you underestimate us! We won't let you succeed with your plans." Anko said.

"Oh, and you think you can stop us? I don't think so, we'll see you try. And trying is probably the most you can do." Xing Jun said as she jumped of her horse, stretched and brought out 2 metal baton-like sticks.

"Well then, let's go!" Wei Yan called as he signaled other warriors to open the front gate, which they did. When they opened the door, they found Naruto and the others there waiting for them.

Wei Yan smirked "Hmm… impressive strategy but no use. Lina! Guan He! Take care of them, I must proceed to the castle and meet up with the empress."

Naruto saw Hinata with Wei Yan "Hinata!" Naruto called out as Wei Yan went off and proceeded to the palace where Shikamaru, Sakura and Ino stood guard. "Hinata!"

"Naruto go! Go and get Hinata! We can take care of them by ourselves." Kiba said.

"But--"

"Naruto! You wanted to rescue Hinata didn't you… Well go and rescue her!" Lee said. Naruto nodded and went. Lee jumped off his horse "Take this!" Lee punched the ground and a huge whole on the ground was created.

"Hmm… impressive attack, you destroyed the ground particles just by punching the ground, must be your forbidden powers." Guan He said calmly.

"You evaded Lee's attack at the same time discovering the secret of the attack, impressive as well. But we won't lose to you!" Kiba placed both his hands on the ground "Ahh!" Kiba pushed his hands on the earth then suddenly spikes (made of earth) appeared from the ground and went toward the direction where Guan He and Lina, but Guan He and Lina jumped up to evade it.

-Palace stairs-

"Their approaching with a lot more warriors with them, I have to say around 150 more." stated Shikamaru "Get ready, here they come."

Wei Yan, Ji Yen and Zi Yan was heading toward the palace "Ji Yen! Zi Yan! I'll leave them to you, I'll leave with you the remaining warriors, that should be enough to help you finish them. I have a meeting to attend to with the empress."

"We will not let you pass!" Shikamaru took out a sword and charged, together with the rest, at the enemy. They slashed, and probably killed, a lot of the enemy warriors when Shikamaru caught sight of Wei Yan going up the stairs into the palace. "I won't let you go!" Shikamaru chased Wei Yan into the palace and left Sakura and Ino fighting the rest.

Sakura and Ino met with Zi Yan and Ji Yen. Sakura and Ino was shocked to see Zi Yan "Zi Yan? Is that you? You're alive?" Sakura said unbelievingly.

"It's good you still remember me Sakura."

"But how? And why are you fighting in the enemy's side?" Ino asked.

"You ask me why? Well, it's your fault for leaving me, all of you left me!" Zi Yan said as she jumped of her horse and brought out two bladed fans (like Temari's).

"What are you saying, we didn't--"

But before Sakura could finish what she was saying Ji Yen cut her off "Enough chit chat, this is a war and it's time for you to die!" Ji Yen stepped on top of her horse and jumped to Sakura and punched her off her horse but luckily she landed safely on the ground, Sakura brought out her spear while Ji Yen brought out a sword and they began fighting. Suddenly, Naruto passes by the on-going battle to chase Wei Yan as well.

-The palace's main hall-

Tsunade was calmly sitting on her throne, eyes closed; her crown was placed on a pillow on the right side of her throne, she had her hair tied at the back at a high pony, she was wearing a red helmet with golden tribal designs, upper body armor that showed her tummy, shoulder armors with a red cape hanging from it, skirt-like armor that was a few inches above the knee, lower arm armors and red boots that reach a few inches below the knee.

Tsunade stood up and went down her throne, not so long after Wei Yan arrived in the room (without the horse), carrying Hinata on his shoulder "I expected your arrival; tell me why you are doing this? Who are you?"

Wei Yan removed his mask and Tsunade was shocked to see the face under the mask, suddenly, Shikamaru and Naruto arrived at the main hall at the same time (they caught up with each other on the way) "Wei Yan?" Tsunade said in shock.

"Hinata!" Naruto yell as he ran toward Wei Yan to get Hinata but before he came close, Wei Yan threw Hinata's body right at Naruto, fortunately Naruto was able to catch Hinata "What did you do to her?" Naruto demanded.

"You don't have to worry much, she's still alive. I now return her to you; I find no use of her anymore." Wei Yan said bluntly.

"Why you!" Naruto launched himself toward Wei Yan to punch him "You have the nerve to kidnap her and after using her, you just throw her like some kind of trash!"

But before Naruto came close, Wei Yan took out a scimitar and pointed it right at Naruto's throat, this made Naruto freeze. "How brave of you little boy to charge at me, but you think a tiny little punch will knock me off?"

"Then let me use my weapon!" Tenten was (somehow) falling from the sky, charging herself, with her twin blades, right at Wei Yan, Wei Yan took out his hand and let out an aura/energy from his palm toward Tenten's direction that made her fall back and hit the wall.

"Tenten!" Shikamaru yelled as he ran toward Tenten to her aid.

"Stop it Wei Yan! Naruto, go to Shikamaru and Tenten, this is not your fight." Tsunade said as Wei Yan placed down his sword and Naruto moved to where Shikamaru and Tenten were with an angry expression on his face.

"Explain yourself Wei Yan! Were you the one who planned this attack on the kingdom?" Tsunade demanded.

"The one and only your highness." Wei Yan said mockingly.

"Why? Why are you doing this?"

"Simple, I just came to take what should rightfully belong to me. I should be the one sitting on that throne, not you. I should be the one wearing the crown, not you. And now, I come back to take my right as the emperor of this kingdom, this dynasty!"

They were all in shock in what he had just said "Emperor Lui Bei chose me as the successor to the throne, not you Wei Yan!" Tsunade said irritably.

"That's where he was wrong, and now I am showing you his mistake of making you the empress of this dynasty!"

"He wasn't wrong, and now I'll show you why! I will not let you take over my kingdom, I will protect my kingdom!" Tsunade took out a sword and they both charged at each other.

-At the front gate-

General Anko, Kurenai and Asuma are lying on the ground, Kurenai and Anko unconscious, their body covered in blood and wounds.

"How weak the generals of Konoha are. Is this the best they've got?" Xing Jun smirked.

"We are sure of victory now. Come on, let's follow Lord Wei Yan to the palace, I'm sure he's in a middle of a battle with their empress, and surely winning." smirked Xi Dao as well as they got into their horses and headed toward the palace passing through the on-going battles on the way.

'That boy with platinum hair… he… he can't be…' thought Asuma as he stared at the fading figures of Xing Jun and Xi Dao, and in a matter of seconds he fell unconscious.

-250 meters away from the front gate-

The battle was not nearing at end, neither side was winning. Gan Ning kept on attacking Shino with his sword and Shino kept on evading the attack. "What Shino? Are you just gonna keep running away?"

"You, I thought you were--"

"Dead? Not likely. Now, you will die!" Gan Ning charged toward Shino (with his sword) but Shino was able to block with his daggers, Gan Ning moved back after Shino block the attack.

"Me, die?" Shino grinned "Not likely." and he charged toward Gan Ning and they began to fight, this time with Shino attacking.

Sasuke and Han Fei continue fighting. "You're good Uchiha… just like your brother." Han Fei started as Sasuke charged his scimitar but Han Fei evaded it easily "But you're not gonna beat me, but you can try, just like what your brother did."

Sasuke froze "You mean… you're the one who…"

"Yes Sasuke, I am the one who defeated the great Itachi Uchiha, I am the reason why he is in the hospital right now." grinned Han Fei.

Sasuke tightened his grip on his scimitar, he felt anger "Why you! You will pay for what you did to my brother!"

Sasuke formed a fireball and charged it right at Han Fei, Han Fei barely evaded the attack but before he could recover and get back to proper position Sasuke came up to punch him, Han Fei fell on the floor.

Not long after he was able to get up. "So I see that you control the power over fire. But you're still not going to win." he said as he wiped the blood from his lip. "Not long now, this battle will end."

"Ugh." Neji struggled to stand up after being punched by Chu Lao trying to evade his attack with his sword. They were both injured but it seemed that Neji attained more injuries than Chu Lao did.

"You're not that bad Hyuuga Neji, but soon enough, your empress will be beaten and we will take over this kingdom and other villages and cities under the control of Konoha. This dynasty will be under the power of the Yang Army." said Chu Lao.

"What are you saying, Empress Tsunade won't be beaten." defended Neji.

"She might be powerful, yes, but the power of light is now on our side and we all know that the power of light is the most important and most powerful of the forbidden powers."

Neji snickered "That's where you are wrong, there's something more powerful than the power of light. Anyway, time to fight!" Neji made lightning strike the place where Chu Lao stood.
