Chapter 2---- Chapter 20
----------------------------------------------------
The family of ninja were sat around the table in the house they shared.
"Now is where we make our counter attack," said Tsunade "Naruto won't help us so we have nothing else to lose. We'll stop this or die trying."
"Like Gai-Sensei" said Lee with a frown
"Don't start on that Lee, if you really want to live like Gai wanted you would help us" said Jiraiya
"Ok, the plan. First objective, Infiltrate Konoha. Second objective, find any POW's and rescue them. Third objective, take out the Nidaime Tsuchikage (I mean second as in there's two of them). That should make the forces retreat or at least back off because it will take considerable skill to kill a Kage." Said Shikamaru
"Well, me and Tsunade are both Kage level and if we had Naruto this stuff would be easy. He could take on the entire Rock Village forces and probably win. Seeing as we don't have him and he is no longer our ninja so we can't make him, we will split into two groups. Me and Tsunade and Lee will be one group, my cloaking Jutsu should keep us hidden but in case we don't, Lee can fight off any enemies. Me and Tsunade will engage in battle with the Nidaime while the rest of you make a distraction." Said Jiraiya
"Sounds good to me, you put a lot of effort into that didn't you?" said Shikamaru
"More than you would but the effect is the same"
"So, do we move out now?" said Sasuke
"Yes, we leave tomorrow. I want you all to get your ninja gear and prepare for battle." Said Tsunade
"Alright" came the reply from the group
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the old Hokage Tower.
The Nidaime Tsuchikage was sitting behind his desk with one of the medic-nin in front of him. He was a Ninja looking to be just over 30 and had deep brown hair. His body was a perfect ninja body being compact but strong. He was dressed in the standard Tsuchikage clothes. His eyes were a shock to look into directly; they were a bright green that seemed almost inhuman.
"Tsuchikage-Sama, the recent test results were…interesting. It seems that some of the more mentally strong Konoha ninja will be immune to the cranial modifications. Only the best ninja are strong enough however, so we can simply apply the shock collars to those." Said the medic-nin
"Its taken 7 years, for god sake get this right FINALLY!" said the Nidaime "I have waited long enough to control Konoha's secret jutsu and Kekkai Genkais. I am particularly looking forward to the Sharingan. I want the ninja who resist the modifications to be brought here. I will select my servants from those."
"Very well, Tsuchikage-Sama. May I ask how the new project is coming along?"
"Very nicely, I'm about 3 days away from completing it."
"Ok, when you are finished can you bring it to the hospital? We need to register it."
"Fine, now leave. I need to do some paper work."
"Ok Tsuchikage-Sama" said the medic-nin as he walked out of the door
"I hate that guy, note to self: have him killed." Said the Nidaime

At the Graceful Wind Dojo
Naruto was sitting in his meditation garden trying to communicate with the Kyuubi.
'Damn it Kyuubi, I want you to train me now. And I mean in every technique you know and I want them now'
'HA, you finally came to. Good on you kit. Get your ass in here and I'll give a few days of training'
'I want more than a few days, I want at least several years worth''You are keen, I meant I'll give you about 3 days in your world. That's the equivalent of 6 years of training'
'Thanks for telling me, that's perfect.'
'Time to get down to business, lets go'-------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Days Later
The group on ninja were standing outside the gates of Old Konoha. They were remembering the times they had here and what they had done. The sky was dark and cloudy with a storm brewing. The air was clam with not a breeze flowing through it so they could feel the true cold of the air.
"I can't believe we lost this to the Rock Village." Said Sasuke
"I can, we simply fell into a trap and couldn't get out in time." Said Jiraiya "it pisses me off too but we are here to be the last rebellion. Lets not let this be the last time we ever fight together"
"Ok, Lee come over here. You, Jiraiya and me will go in last under his cloaking jutsu. The rest of you will be under Sasuke's lead with Shikamaru as strategist, Sasuke must listen to Shikamaru's plans and act accordingly." Said Tsunade
"Lets make this count!" yelled Sasuke as he ushered his team to the wall. They gathered chakra in their feet and ran up the wall, as they got over an alarm started blaring meaning they had been detected.
"It's the time of judgement," said Tsunade as she and Lee huddled close to Jiraiya who made a cloaking jutsu around them.
The smaller group walked in and saw that the younger men had split up and were each being chased by about 15 shotai (Platoons, around 30 members each)
The main attack group ran under the cloaking jutsu towards the Old Hokage Tower. They looked around the city and saw that it still looked pretty much the same except for the fact that all the leaf symbols had been replaced with rock symbols. They carried on running for nearly 3 hours through the winding streets and back passages of Konoha
"At least they didn't destroy it," said Lee
"I suppose but that still doesn't make up for the fact that it's ours," said Jiraiya as they turned a corner sharply and found themselves facing the Old Hokage Tower.
They looked at the door and saw that a shotai was guarding the front door alone.
"I know how to deal with these guys," said Lee as he prepared to take off his weights.
"Are you sure Lee?" asked Tsunade
"When I'm done, I can run and join the others faster than they can say 'Gai-Sensei'" said Lee
"Ok, go for it," said Jiraiya as he and Tsunade prepared to run into the door.
Lee ran out of the cloaking range and went into a 'Dynamic Entry' whilst screaming it at the top of his lungs.
"He is Gai Maito's student!" yelled one of the guard ninja
"KONOHA SENPUU! (Leaf Hurricane)" yelled Lee as he floored several of the ninja with a single kick.
"Come on Skebe" said Tsunade as she ran with Jiraiya in her arms into the door to be met by a loud bang of the door and a pair of bright red eyes.
"Oh shit," said Jiraiya as he jumped out of Tsunade's arms
Jiraiya gathered as much chakra as he could into his voice box then yelled "LEE GET THE ENIGMA!" as he turned to look at the people in front of him. He saw the entire male populace of the graduating class 7 years ago standing in front him with all Kekkai Genkais and secret jutsu activated.
"That was the last phrase you will ever say freely" said Neji as he hit Jiraiya with a Jyuuken strike that could of ripped straight through Jiraiya had Neji used all of his strength but instead he was knocked unconscious.
Tsunade responded by punching a hole through the door and watching Lee run out of the gate.
"I see you've met my new ninja" came a voice from behind her.
"YOUR ninja? I always assumed they were leaf ninja. Hey Lokira, I see you've had quite a promotion, Nidaime Tsuchikage" said Tsunade
"I see you recognise my voice Tsunade. I have taken over their minds using a Jutsu inspired by the Yamanaka family, the only difference is that this takes over the mind and it stays in a fixed way of thinking until a very good Seal Master can release the jutsu"
"Why a Seal Master? It's a mind jutsu"
"A small seal is required to sap the chakra needed from the person." Said Lokira "Now say goodnight and goodbye to your free mind"
Lokira rushed forward and injected a small amount of anaesthetic into her neck dropping her into unconsciousness.
"Take them to be sealed, I will chase the one in green myself." Said Lokira
"Ok Tsuchikage-Sama, but why didn't you knock out Tsunade with Dim-Mak style?" asked a guard ninja
"Simple, she always has a Genjutsu around her which makes her younger. The Genjutsu makes the person look different but it's the same body underneath and I couldn't get a fix on her pressure points even with my Lock Eye." Said Lokira
"Ok, here's your equipment," said the same guard ninja handing the Nidaime a large box of metal with two straps on it.
"Thanks" said Lokira as he stepped outside into the storm. The new wind jostled his hair as he reached and pressed a button on the side of the box that was now on his back. The curves of the box fitted Lokira perfectly, he saw this and gave the 'thumbs up' to a guard ninja. The guard brought out a matching helmet, chest armor, arm armor and leg armor. Lokira put the rest of this stuff on and press a button on the chest panel, which caused the whole armor to glow green for a second and then die down as it unveiled a pair of wings that looked almost organic.
"That is amazing Nidaime-Sama" said Shino
"It's modelled on the Snow Country's chakra armor but I made various improvements," said Lokira as the wings tensed "Be ready on my return with a sealing mechanism. This is the last Konoha Ninja in existence; I want to be the one to exterminate him. My chakra armor should protect me from his Taijutsu and I can outgun him in everything else,"
Lokira then jumped into the air as the wings started flapping making him get higher and higher. The wings started flapping to stabilise him but he used the wind to soar in the direction of where Rock Lee had ran.
'So he's going to Kyabato Forest. This should be a piece of cake, they have no ninja' thought Lokira
The Nidaime sped off in the direction of Kyabato Forest at a rate of knots. It wasn't long before he spotted the green clad man running about 5 miles from the town.
'He ran all that way this fast, Konoha is probably 200 miles away? I knew Gai Maito taught him to be fast but never this fast. He has to have opened at least 2 gates to get this much energy' thought Lokira
Lee looked up and saw the Nidaime soaring above him so he picked up the pace so that all Lokira could see was a green blur at the city gates.
'Yes, definitely the gates'
Lokira came to a soft landing just outside of the city and pressed another button on his chest that retracted the wings into the box on his back.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the Graceful Wind Dojo
The students had gone into the STP (Standardised Training Program), the STP was a special program that the students of the dojo did when Enigma was in a state of deep meditation. They had just finished their afternoon spar when a man with dark red skin and green clothes burst in. He ran into the training room where all the students drew their personal weapons, some drew swords while the others drew more interesting weapons like Nunchucks, a long pole with a hooked blade on each end and a long Bo Staff with a blade all down one side were but a few of the variety.
"I come in peace to seek Enigma," said Lee rapidly as his skin slowly turned back to its normal color and his veins became less defined
The students lowered their weapons slightly but one came forward, this one was slightly different from the rest. She had a small piece of black cloth with the leaf symbol engraved on it, which meant she was superior to the others even if they were older than her.
"I am acting Dojo Guardian, you can direct your questions to me" said the girl
"I'm afraid I can't, I really need to see Enigma" said Lee
"If you will not leave, we will make you!" said the girl as she charged at Lee with a miniature halberd that looked like it could cleave granite
"HALT KAMIA!" came a voice from the back of the room.
"Enigma-Dono" said Kamia as she dropped her weapon
"This is a friend of mine. If you had hurt him, I would of hurt you exactly as much as you did him. What do you need Lee?" asked Naruto
Before Lee could answer, there came a smashing sound from the front of the Dojo as figure in armor walked in.
"I need you to help me from him, he's the Nidaime Tsuchikage" said Lee
"I've found you, Student of Gai Maito" said Lokira as Naruto stood up.
"Do you need me Lee?" asked Naruto
"We shall see, I made sure to ensure his demise. If I die, then you can join the fight" said Lee as he rushed forward to engage the Nidaime in Taijutsu combat.
The two traded blows until Lee got hit by a lucky kick to the gut and was thrown backwards into a wall, knocking him unconscious.
"Now I have the last Konoha Ninja in existence, my plan WILL succeed!" said the Nidaime as he picked up the limp body of Rock Lee. Lokira jumped, with Lee's body in his hands, over to the door where he spread the wings and leapt into the air. Naruto and the students ran over the door to see the figure disappear into the distance as it headed northwest of their current location.
"It's heading for Konoha," said Naruto quietly to himself.
"Enigma-Dono, who was that and how did you know the guy in the green clothes?" asked one of the younger students
"He was a Ninja from the village of Old Konoha," said Naruto "The Nidaime said he was the last of the Konoha Ninja so I assume they have captured the Old Hokage and the Frog Sannin. Their forces must be strong to do something like that and they're only getting stronger if they decrease our power."
"Our power?" questioned another student but this one was about 15 years old.
"I was a Konoha Ninja as well," said Naruto drawing scared looks from the students
"Then how can you be a Samurai?" asked Kamia
"I was taught by Hayate Gekko about the ancient powers of the weapon. He was a Katana Master and also my mentor so I am a Katana type. Have you noticed that each of your weapons are different to everyone else's?" answered Naruto
"Now you mention it…." Said the older student "But how does this have anything to do with the fact you're a samurai?"
"Good question, I can only honor it with an answer. I was taught that whoever can learn their weapons name will unleash its true power and become one with it. I learnt my weapons true name," said Naruto drawing the Raijin Sword
"So you are a sword master. I suppose that makes sense." Said the younger student
"Yes, but now I am the only true Konoha Ninja remaining. I could free them but that is the village that exiled me for helping them."
"How did you help them?" asked Kamia while the others listened intently
"I suppose you heard about the 'incident' on the bloody plains involving Orochimaru." Said Naruto
"Yes, I heard a great chasm opened up and let out a blast of fire that killed all the combatants," said Kamia
"I heard that all the other hidden villages supported Konoha and destroyed the Sound village," said another
"The last one sounds more logical than what actually happened," said Naruto
"What did happen?" asked the 15-year-old student
"It was I, I and my ANBU squad were the only Konoha Ninja there. I used a Kinjutsu (Forbidden Technique) and killed the 149,900 ninja that opposed us."
"Wrong, it wasn't 149,900." Said one of the smaller samurai at the front "I read a report from the Old Konoha records and it was found to be 200,000 ninja and 700,000 civilians who opposed Konoha."
"Holy cow, now I see why it is a Kinjutsu" said Kamia
"Either way, I have a few quick announcements. Number one: Kamia is now in full control of all Dojo affairs until I return. Number two: You will follow the STP unless Kamia says otherwise. And the most important rule of all Number three: What ever Kamia says, you do!" said Naruto almost yelling the last part.
"Yes Enigma-Dono" said the group as they went back inside and same back with several planks of wood, a few buckets of nails and a lot of weaponry.
"Ah yes I remember, section 5 paragraph 3 sub-section D of the STP: All damage to the Dojo must be repaired before any training came commence and before anyone eats" said Naruto as he ran off in the same direction that the Nidaime had gone in.
