Author: slight cold, and my PS2's broke...damn, won't be fixed till February.

Raikiri1991: ...well, all I can say to that is...

Garra: yes...( Makes room in the corner for him.)

Thanks for reviewing.

Thedisturbedone666666: Well, it's nice to know that 'we' are enjoying the fic... there are 666666 of you...damn, that's a lot.

Thank's for reviewing...XD, also, if I haven't stated it before I'll state it now...you have one of the most awesome names I have ever seen.

Major Hinata Fan: he's the giant raccoon thing that he transforms into in the manga/ anime...

And why did that just make me sound like a 10 year old?...meh, not much else you could call a blood thirsty, power hungry, demonotic raccoon.

And people complained about the flying whale...thanks for reviewing by the way.

Razzukyo of the dragon fist: yes...as it has been stated during the wave country chapters that is the kyuubi...xp

thanks for reviewing.

Prismdragon: I must state, first, that the kyuubi being a female has been stated/ been referenced to since after ( possibly before) the time skip..:p, then again, I update REALLY slowly so people are bound to forget...so actually it's my fault for that ( this is also for Razzukyo, so read this)..;.;.

Another thing, I'm not sure on Gaara's level. It was difficult trying to decide between jounin and hunter-nin. Why not anbu, well the anbu are over done, that and hunter-nins work mostly by themselves...as far as I know. This makes it perfect for Gaara.

Battousai222: well, I do have great news...I've managed to remember most of your name...xp

thanks for reviewing.

Iceprincess421: I will, or else the fans of the story would eat me alive...well, most of them.

Thanks for reviewing.

disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING...so yeah...( Sighs)

Enjoy the fic.

Yet, another one is lost

The whale charged forward, ramming it's head into the large object. The object shook, slowly falling sideways towards the ground. Alarms were heard, as the object started to pull itself up from it's decent and turn. Now in the direction it needed to be, the object started to fly as fast as it could towards where ever the hell it was going. Closing the door that was releasing the mech's, Gaara relaxing slightly at this.

What confused him though, was the fact that the whale wasn't following it. No, the whale had been in the same spot for the past minute or so, watching the object fly off away from Konoha. The whale then turned towards the opposite direction, probably was satisfied with it's work. Or at least Gaara thought it was satisfied, he wasn't sure what the whale was thinking or if it was thinking at all. The whale disappearing in the clouds, Gaara turned over towards were Irvine had been last.

Irvine, now in the center of a group of mech's that he probably took down himself, had changed back to his original self. Which was a good thing, considering what was going to happen if Gaara didn't bringing him back alive. He didn't know how Irvine was able to take that interesting form, it was almost impossible to tell it was him except by his smell, which was almost exactly the same. Gaara walked over towards Irvine, preparing to release the transformation he was using and return to normal himself. Until he heard s screech coming from behind him, that is.

Looking over, Gaara's eyes slightly widened at the sight of one more metallic, it charging towards Konoha from outside the walls. This was not good, Gaara wouldn't be able to hold his form long enough to fight the creature. Gritting his teeth, Gaara decided to do as much damage as possible before he transformed back. Brining his hands into a simple seal, he prepared for his attack.

One of which was brutally ended.

Gaara stopped, looking at the creature with his stoic expression, though those who knew him could tell it was a slightly altered one to show confusion. The mech, which had been charging towards Konoha, was now screeching in what looked like pain, falling towards the ground and staying down. Black flames were coming off the mech, melting away the creature and leaving only the most basic parts before melting them as well. Gaara wondered who could have used an attack like this, still watching the flames. Imagine his surprise when he saw a figure walk through them.

He was a tall man, standing around the same height as Naruto. He had long black hair, how it was kept was unknown to Gaara ( it was in his clothing, to keep out in the open). He wore a large black cloak, red clouds all around it. Also wearing sandles, that much Garra could tell. What really set him off balance was his red eye's, which currently had the sharingan activated. This person, in Gaara's mind, looked almost exactly like...

" Uchiha Sasuke...?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yo, Hinata-chan!" Hinata turned around, now staring at the Sakura's grinning face. Looking behind her, she could see quite a few people. Shino, along with his little sister, was with Sakura, both of them seemingly having an easy time destroying the nin that attacked them. Then there was Shikamaru, Temari, and Subaru, who seemed tired from the fighting. Though both Shikamaru and Sabaru had a grin on they're faces for some reason. After them was Kiba, riding on Akumaru's back along with what looked like...Tenten?

Beside's them was the sound team. Kin, the only female of the team, was helping to support a bandaged person. Though, only Choji could be that large, but how Kin was able to support him, the world will never know. After them was Ino, Ayame, and Neji, him getting yelled at by the first two. Honestly, the only men she had ever seen get yelled at this much was from the Uzumaki family, since most of them were perverts. The last two to show up were...and interesting sight.

" Lee...what are you doing?" Hinata asked, starring at Lee who was carrying her sister bridal style. She already knew that it was Hanabi's influence that this happened, but might as well draw it out for awhile. Hanabi jumped slightly at the sound of her sisters voice, looking over and begging her to not start anything. Lee grinned widely at the question.

"Hinata-chan, Hanabi-chan was injured while fighting, so I offered my SPIRIT OF YOUTH to help her!" Lee stated, now holding Hanabi up with one arm and giving his 'nice guy pose'. Hinata sighed, walking over to them. Her hands started to glow a faint green, as Hinata moved it over her sisters body.

" It seems that she's perfectly fine." Hinata stated, Hanabi freezing for a moment and looking up at Lee.

" Then it most have been due to the SPIRIT OF YOUTH WITHIN ME!" Lee then glanced down at Hanabi. "Isn't it great Hanabi-chan? I don't have to carry you anymore and your able to walk again!" Lee then sat Hanabi down, said person getting on her feet and glaring at Hinata. Hinata just smiled tiredly, looking back at the nin she was taking care of earlier.

" Hinata-chan, where's Naruto?" Sakura asked, Hinata shaking her head.

"I really don't know, I wish I could go find out, but...I have to look after them." Sakura glanced behind Hinata to see the wounded Leaf nin. Sakura only grinned, placing both her hands on Hinata's shoulders.

" How about this, I take care of them and you go look for Naruto?" Sakura said, Hinata rasing her eyebrow at this.

" But wouldn't you prefer to be searching for S-"

" He's with his family right now, so I don't need to worry at all. Besides...they wouldn't let me join there teams, even with being a sennin and all." Sakura stated, smiling a bit. " So don't worry about it..." Hinata, who was about to protest, was stopped by Sakura's innocent expression. She knew that Sakura was planning, Hinata only sighing and nodding her head. Turning around, Hinata ran as fast as she could towards the location of where she felt that chakra.

The only chakra, no matter how well hidden it may be, could stand out from the rest.

Jiraiya dodged another blast of energy, bringing his pure white sword up to block Orochimaru. Deflecting said persons attack, Jiraiya pulled back his sword and tried to stab him. Orochimaru flew backwards, dodging the attack and shot to more energy blasts at Jiraiya. Deflecting the blasts, Jiraiya quickly turned around in time to be attacked by Orochimaru, bringing his claws down on Jiraiya. They would have struck, if Jiraiya hadn't 'phased' out of existence, coming back a second later and striking Orochimaru with his sword.

"Tsuchi joukai." Jiraiya stated, two copies of him shooting from the forest they were standing in and also hit Orochimaru with they're swords, forming a triangle pattern around said person. Energy gathered underneath Orochimaru, shooting up a second later. Orochimaru cried out in pain, feeling the energy pierce through his body. Bringing his wings together into a protective like position, he flashed them open, dark energy shooting from him, canceling the attack and causing all three of the Jiraiya's to shoot backwards.

" Youkai dekoi." Jiraiya said, the two copies of himself losing they're physical form and shooting towards Orochimaru. Brining both his hands up, Orochimaru shot a wave of energy to block the attack, gritting his teeth at the power of it. When he felt something strike his back, Orochimaru gasped and disappeared in a flash of light. Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, disappearing and reappearing on a tree branch a second later. Brining his sword up, Jiraiya blocked an attack from Orochimaru once more, pushing back said person and forming some seals. Rushing forward, Jirayia appeared before Orochimaru, said person having a shocked expression. Jiraiya, stabbing his sword into the snake bastard, he finished the last seal.

"...This ends it, asshole." Jiraiya stated "Gokuin..." Jiraiya's sword began to glow brightly, Jiraiya glowing just as much. Orochimaru tried to take the sword out of him, grabbing onto it and trying with all his strength to rip it out. The glow brightened, the energy actually engulfing both of them. Jiraiya smiled, watching Orochimaru struggle to get free. Sighing to himself and thanking Kami-sama that this was the end.

Slowly, the white light fully covered both of them, before shrinking. When it was about the size of a dime, it vanished from existence. A breeze blew past the area that was just a minute ago a battle field, the tree's shaking gently. It seemed, that they were going to miss the old pervert...Like the rest of us.

" Can I drop them now?" Mikoto asked, watching Yugao carry Hana through the forest. It wasn't that she hatted the dogs, it was the simple fact that they had been drooling on her the entire time. For the love of god, she even felt one of them get too 'excited'. That same one was now asleep due to a very nice jutsu she was taught at a young age.

" Horney bastards..." Mikoto thought, still waiting for Yugao to answer. Yugao looked over at Mikoto, before setting Hana down.

" Sure, go for it." In an instant, all the dogs fell towards the ground, Mikoto placing her hands behind her and snapping her back. Smiling to herself, Mikoto walked over towards her two team mates, the dogs following behind her.

" So...how long has it been since this 'war' started?" Mikoto asked, looking up at the newly risen moon. The cloud filled sky allowed the moon to perfectly shin down on the three shinobi and the dogs for a moment. Yugao shrugged and looked over Hana, doing a decent job with bandaging her this time since they seemed to be in the clear.

" I really don't know and I wish I knew how the others are doing." Yugao stated, finishing up Hana's waist and moving on to her arms. " I mean, we shouldn't have to worry since the others and Naruto are with them."

"He's grown quite a bit, hasn't he?" Mikoto asked, thinking about it herself. " He used to barely come up to my waist, now he's bigger, stronger...more muscle...great abbs."

" Pedofiler.."

" You know you would if you could..." Mikoto replied, narrowing her eyes at Yugao. " Admit it."

" Your not going to stop bother me unless I DO admit it are you?" When Yugao saw Mikoto shake her head no, She sighed and took in a deep breath." Alright, if it makes you feel any better about wanting to screw someone 20 years younger then you and your guilt at the fact that your husband was a psychopathic lunatic, here goes. I would screw him, fuck him, rape him, I would tie him down as I ride him till the sun raised. I would use every position that I had learn through years of experience with my husband just to see his face when he see's that he's powerless against me."

" That's it?" Mikoto asked, hoping to get a little more out of it. Yugao shrugged.

" I'm taken already, and not interested in someone that could easily be my own child." Yugao stated, Mikoto sighing and reaching behind her.

" Oh well, I guess that will have to do." She stated, Yugao rasing an eyebrow.

" Do for what?"

" Just insurance to make sure I never get stuck with the 'leftover' jobs again. Got to make sure to thank Naruto for the recording scroll..."

"..."

"That means inviting him for tea!" Mikoto yelled, seeing Yugao's blank expression.

" Right..." looking over at Hana, she continued to bandage her up. " Regardless, I think we should try to find a shelter and drop Hana off, she and her dogs are slowing us down." Yugao stated, Mikoto's jaw dropping to the floor.

" You just NOW thought of that!" Mikoto yelled, Yugao just replying with a shrug. Reaching over to pick Hana up, Yugao's arm was grabbed by Mikoto, who was grinning from ear to ear.

" Nope, this time, your stuck with the dogs..."

Anko ducked, blocking the second attack from the Nidaime with her kunai. Pushing him back slightly, Anko formed a few quick seals, disappearing into the ground. The fourth, who was behind Anko, slammed his newly made rasengan towards the Nidaime. He soon canceled his attack, however, when he noticed the first was coming from the side and moved out of the way of the roots meant to crush him. Bringing around his only weapon, which was ironically a shield, he focused some chakra into it and actually shot a Rasengan ball towards the roots, destroying them.

Throwing a few kunai into the air, they landed in various places, some in the trees, some on the ground, one on the First hokage ( ect). The Fourth, now preparing his attack, took a few moments to charge before unleashing his ultimate move. Whispering the name to himself, he disappeared, reappearing a second later behind the First hokage. Bringing his Rasengan down on the First, he struck, making a nicely sized hole in the First's body. The shodi, being hit by this attack, was sent flying into a tree, causing it to fall down on top of him. The fourth hesitated for a moment, realizing what he had done and attempting to dodge out of the way fo the water jutsu sent by the second. Barely dodging it, The Fourth threw a few more kunai towards the Nidaime. Blocking said kunai, the second Hokage failed to notice the snakes now wrapping around him.

Being pulled into a crushing wrap, the Nidaime struggled to get free. Anko slowly rose out of the ground, a few snakes wrapped around her as well ( though not in the crushing manner). She was about to go over towards the fourth, when suddenly she felt something else wrap around her. Looking down, she saw several roots had made they're way up her body, killing the snakes and taking there place. The fourth rushed over to her, striking the roots with yet another rasengan and destroying it. Once Anko was free, she fell to the ground, trying to set her arm back in place. They both looked over towards where the Shodi had been, seeing him walk towards them, the same spiral pattern from the rasengan on his chest.

" Damnit...this is getting us nowhere." Anko stated, watching the second hokage break out of the snakes grasp.

" Well, it's not like we can do anything about it...at the moment." Arashi replied, looking down at Anko. " The only way we can stop them is if Orochimaru 's killed or they just run out of energy."

" So, when's the second one going to happen?"

" Never."

" Just...wonderful..." Anko stated, getting back up and into a stance. " For once, I just wish things wouldn't involve us getting killed...err, if we were still alive that is."

" Yeah, I know what you mean..." The fourth stated, looking down at the seal that was now on his stomach. " Forever stuck with the seal from the death god...wouldn't even get me a discount at stores." The fourth sighed in disappointment, shaking his head and looking back at Anko, how had become quite for some reason. " What's wrong?"

" Them." stated Anko, looking over to see that the first and second Hokage were shaking violently, before falling towards the ground. Anko and the Fourth looked at each other, before rushing off towards the battle that was supposedly happening between Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

For this to happen, Orochimaru had to have been killed off...So there was nothing to worry about

right?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

author: read and review, and yes, Arashi is the fourth hokage...xp, just incase anyone wants to ask.
