Chapter 4
Hey guys, this will be the last chapter in the Konoha Revival Arc. I hope you all noticed the pun I put into the foxes names.
----------------------------------------------------------
Naruto stood face to face with his old comrades but they had gotten into battle stances and drawn their weapons.
"Save them Naruto! It's a Sealing Jutsu!" yelled a voice from the women now on Rokuna.
"Hinata….." said Naruto as he let his guard down slightly. The group of about 100 ninja behind him took this to their advantage and threw a few kunai each with made Naruto come back to reality.
Naruto flipped over their heads and activated his Master Eye again.
"Time to show you how much I've grown" said Naruto quietly as he charged at the group. His unlocked Raijin Sword now slashing around and dodging various blows from the male ninja. Sasuke let fly a Grand Fireball Jutsu that chased after him while Shino's bugs cornered him from the other side.
"ARASHITON: STORM CHARGE JUTSU!" yelled Naruto as his chakra flowed around him turning him into a glowing red humanoid shape. He then ran forward faster than even Rock Lee could see and leapt into the air.
"Ready Ikazuchi? I think I'll have to use 'It' now," said Naruto to his blade
"Ready" said spirit image of the Phoenix
"ARASHITON: FLAMING SPEAR JUTSU!" yelled Naruto as he threw the Raijin Sword by its hilt into the earth causing a tremendous tremor to erupt from the earth and caused most of the ninja to be thrown around except for a few who jumped up after the descending Naruto. They threw some punches that hit Naruto and forced him faster into the ground where he ate dirt.
"Not so tough, if you're really the heir to the Kazama clan I would expect you to be faster." Said Lokira from his position on the platform.
"Who said I was trying" said Naruto before his face was kicked into the floor by another of the men from his year. "I've just been doing some training or I would have been here sooner. A little trick that Kyuubi taught me"
Naruto then pulled off his armor and let it drop to floor.
"Big deal, its only a little less weight" said Lokira but he was interrupted by a hollow rumbling noise coming from the ground. He looked at Naruto and all he saw was a smoking crater and a large hole where the armor had been dropped.
"Chakra weights. I always wear them to train and restrain me. A lot like Rock Lee's weights except on a larger scale. I made them myself" said Naruto
"But how….Chakra weights are artefacts from archaeological digs. No-one can read the seals let alone recreate them." Said Lokira obviously shocked
"Kyuubi taught me, he even taught me every seal that exists or ever will exist. He is a deity after all so he can see through the timeline but cant travel through it."
"Every seal…. NO WAY! You couldn't be fast enough without being torn to pieces by them"
"Want to try me?" said Naruto putting his hand in a position he hadn't used in years
"HIRAISHIN!" yelled Naruto as he started moving around the ninja faster than they could keep up with and put his free hand into various positions as he moved around the group in a large circle.
"100 SEAL TRIAGRAM, MASS UNSEALER!" yelled Naruto as he finished his extremely long sequence. He thrust his hands forward and as he continued the Hiraishin, his free hand let out a line of pure blue chakra. As he continued to move around the circle, the line of chakra turned into a loose net, then a tight net, then a spider web and it eventually ended up being a pure circle of chakra that engulfed all the men.
"KAI!" yelled Naruto as the circle of chakra shot up into the air like a column and then disappeared.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!" yelled Lokira
"I broke your seal. The Kyuubi was a monster who killed millions of people because he specialised in Mass Ninjutsu. He taught me everything he knew in the space of 3 days and now I'm ready to take you on."
"How can you be a ninja, we have taken all the Konoha Ninja" asked Lokira
"I was exiled after the Bloody Plains Massacre, now I'm back and I mean business"
"Youki-Dono, the females are safe" came a voice from behind Naruto
"Thank you Kyuudoni, can you bring the other Kohai please. Its time for crowd control." Said Naruto
"Very well" said Kyuudoni as he ran down the street and let out a bellowing howl.
"What was that?" asked one of the Konoha Ninja whom Naruto recognised as Neji
"That was my summon, he's gone to get help. And it looks like its arrived" said Naruto pointing across the large field near the execution ground. What could be seen was a small cluster of orange getting bigger and bigger as it approached the grounds.
The Ninja looked and saw that a group of 10 shotai had gathered to stop the cluster but all that happened was a blast of fire flew towards them scattering the shotai everywhere.
"That is the Kitsune Kohai, my summon squad."
"All Kohai present and correct Youki-Dono" said one of the medium sized foxes about the size of a horse.
"Good Rokuna. I want you and the Kohai to go with these Ninja as stop all Rock Ninja from entering the grounds."
"Lets go!" yelled Rokuna as he sped off followed by the Kohai and the male Ninja.
(Song: Panic! At The Disco singing Lying Is The Most Fun Girls Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off. Underrated song but perfect for fight scenes)
"Now it's us Nidaime, show me what you've got" said Naruto picking up his Raijin Sword again and activating his Master Eye.
"Gladly" said Lokira as he activated his Lock Eye.
"ROAR IKAZUCHI!" yelled Naruto as the Raijin Sword went to its unlocked form
"Not bad, but I'm not a Kage for nothing." Said Lokira as he drew his own weapon. A large sickle that looked about as soft as granite.
The two ran at each other and exchanged blows, Naruto using his Taijutsu and strength to thrust his sword whilst parrying the attacks, and Lokira using his eyes to lock onto the sword and dodge it. The two fought for hours, never once letting a gap appear in their defence.
The two were just starting to tire when a clang was heard and a piece of metal dropped to the floor. It was the sickle that Lokira was using.
"So you've broken my weapon, I'd like to see your sword stand up to my Ninjutsu!" screamed Lokira as he started forming seals.
"Ninpou: Light Cage Jutsu!" yelled Lokira as a bright light surrounded Naruto "This is my inescapable jutsu, its powered by the sun and I can hold it for as long as I want. You will die a slow death by roasting"
"I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Kyuubi taught me. I have counter attack capabilities on par with Haku." Said Naruto through the cage wall "ARASHITON: CLOUD COVER JUTSU!"
As he said this, a huge gathering of clouds appeared overhead and turned the sky into a pitch-black sea. After the clouds had finished forming, the light cage slowly disappeared.
"I see, we should make this an interesting match. Lets use our Kekkai Genkais, My Lock Eye will dodge any attack and your Master Eye can counter any attack. Lets see who can control it best." Said Lokira letting his eyes glow brightly
"Alright, the loser resigns to their fate." Said Naruto as he activated his eye
The two titans let their bodies move by pure instinct, their minds simply thinking about staying alive and their movements controlled by their own determination. The fight carried on in perfect sequence, Naruto threw a punch, Lokira dodged and threw one of his own, Naruto countered. This kept going in a vicious circle as the two combatants showed no signs of stopping.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 miles away from the fight.
"GREAT LEAF HURRICANE!" yelled Lee as he took down another dozen Rock Nin
"Calm down Lee-Sama" said Ichiban "I know you're excited but we still have about 100,000 Nin left"
"That's right Lee, even the Kaiten couldn't take down that many" said Neji
What Neji didn't notice was a few dozen Rock Nin sneaking up from behind under a chakra cloak
"Neji-Sama, DUCK!" came a voice from about 100 meters ahead of him. Neji hit the deck as a giant fireball came flying over his head. He looked from where the fireball came and saw Hachiyuko standing over him, his mouth still steaming.
"Thanks Hachibi Kitsune" said Neji
"I am Hachiyuko"
"Umm… I know this sounds stupid but can I….." said Neji looking down nervously
"Get on then" said Hachiyuko as he lowered himself slightly "And don't tug my fur, it hurts more than you think."
"Thanks" said Neji climbing on
The pair ran around Konoha as fast as they could with Neji using a Half-Kaiten to deflect all damage from the air and Hachiyuko using his Flaming Fur Jutsu to obliterate everything in a 360 degree vicinity.
"I can sense a strong chakra coming from the execution grounds Neji-Sama" said Hachiyuko
"Me too, can you communicate with the other summons?" asked Neji
"Yes, they are still working on their sectors. I can't leave the sector until I defeat the enemy so Naruto-Dono is on his own"
"Need some help?" came a voice from behind them making them turn around rapidly.
A group of about 100 people in armor from the ages of 12-20 were standing with swords and a variety of all weapons.
"Who are you?" asked Neji
"We are the Graceful Wind Dojo, we are here to help regain Konoha." Said one of the girls "I am Kamia the current leader of the Dojo. We are here to find Enigma-Dono and help him"
"Whose Enigma?" asked Neji
"That is Naruto's Codename" said Hachiyuko
"Oh, you mean Naruto. He is battling the Tsuchikage in the execution grounds. He's about 2 miles in that direction," said Neji pointing South-East
"Ok, Shotais 7 and 9, you will come with me. The rest of you will assist the Konoha Ninja in reclaiming the village" said Kamia as she run off in the direction Neji pointed
"Ok, are you guys good with your weapons?" asked Neji
"Watch and learn" said One of the other students as a group of about 20 Rock Ninja ran at them
The student brought out a large pair of nunchucks with blades on the edge from his belt. The Rock Ninja actually started laughing as they ran at seeing a 15-year-old boy standing before them with only a pair of nunchucks.
2 minutes later, all that remained of the Rock Nin was a few body pieces, a lot of blood and some forehead protectors.
"We are the Number one weaponry users in the tri-country area. I am number one in nunchuck combat." Said the boy "Surely you've heard of me, I am Reito."
"I think my employer mentioned you a few times" said Neji "He got a little pissed at the fact you only lived a fair distance from the shop but refused to buy an weaponry from us"
"I never use any weapon other than them," said Reito "Lets go shotais 1 to 4 come with me, shotais 5,6,8 and 10."
40 of the students went with Reito while another 40 ran off with another group.
"Who were they Neji?" came a voice from behind him as Tsunade appeared on the 5 tailed fox.
"Hey Tsunade-Sama, they were Naruto's students." Said Neji
"I guessed he might do something like this"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a bellowing scream was heard coming from the grounds
"Oh fuck, what the hell did he do?" said Tsunade "Lets go Gobachi!"
"Yes Tsunade-Dono," said Gobachi as she ran off towards the execution grounds while Neji and Hachiyuko still fought with the surrounding Rock Ninja.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile
Sasuke and Shikamaru were battling Rock Nin with Nijo and Sanigo at their side.
"KATON: GRAND FIREBALL JUSTU!" yelled Sasuke as he launched a large fireball at a group of Rock Nin that Shikamaru had got into a Mass Shadow Bind.
"20 down another million to go" said Shikamaru
"Hey Shikamaru! Follow me and tell Sasuke to follow Nijo," said Sanigo
"Why?" asked Shikamaru yawning
"We are Kitsune Kohai, we are trained in mass combat. NIJO TAKE SASUKE AND WE'LL DO PLAN M13!" yelled Sanigo
"Got it!" called Nijo back as he bit Sasuke's ankle and made him follow him about 100 metres up the street while dodging Rock Ninjas.
"Ok, now put a little chakra into this array," said Sanigo as a bright blue drawing appeared on the floor with him at the centre.
"What for?"
"I have chakra but I need a link to the other end so we need two friends to link the arrays together." Said Sanigo
"Fine.." sighed Shikamaru as he put his hands on the array
"GOD STRENGTH DESTROYER!" came the chorus from the two foxes as a huge beam of orange light filled every street and rooftop in a 5-mile area.
"That should take care of this sector, I cant do that too often though, it makes me weak. Carry me" said Sanigo
"Umm…how? You are the size of a St Bernard." Said Shikamaru remembering that the more tails they had the bigger they were. Nijo was about as big as a large Labrador and Ichiban was just a normal fox.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" came a yell from the execution grounds
"Naruto" whispered Shikamaru as he jerked his head towards the sound.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the execution grounds
"YOU BASTARD!" yelled Naruto cradling his right shoulder.
"I said we'd fight with our Kekkai Genkai's I never said that's all I would use" said Lokira twirling a kunai between his fingers "If you were as good as your reputation says then you would of seen that coming"
He stared at Naruto in amazement that he was still standing at the minute. He was cradling a bleeding stump as his arm lay motionless on the floor.
"I don't care what you say, you will perish today!" yelled Naruto
"Tough words but you don't have an arm anymore. You cannot form seals and I can still use my Ninjutsu." Said Lokira start to form his seals
Tsunade arrived on Gobachi to see Naruto standing with his arm chopped off and the Tsuchikage about to kill him with a Ninjutsu.
"Good god" said Tsunade as she started quivering from the sight of the blood "What did you do Naruto?"
"DOTON: EARTH TENDRIL JUTSU!" yelled Lokira as several tentacles of earth appeared from the ground and wrapped around Naruto
"ENIGMA-SENSEI!" came a yell from 20 metres away. There stood 20 of Naruto's students in full battle armor that Naruto had specially made for each of them to enhance their abilities. "Shotai's 7 and 9 reporting"
"What are you doing here!?" yelled Naruto
"They came on my orders Enigma-Dono" said Kamia "You said they were to follow my orders and they have. Don't blame them, blame me"
"I wont blame you just get me out of here! QUICKLY!" yelled Naruto as Lokira started forming more seals.
"Leave this to me" said a twelve-year-old girl. The girl brought out what looked like a Frisbee but had curved blades along its whole circumference. The girl threw it at Naruto and it chopped the tendrils off as it spun around him with perfect accuracy.
"Very nice Alousha" said Naruto as he dodged the incoming Air Strike Jutsu "Now retreat and stop ALL ninja approaching the battle field"
"But sir, what about you? Your arm is gone" said Alousha
"I will live, you will not if you don't obey" said Naruto venomously as he picked the Raijin Sword with his left hand. "Ready Ikazuchi?"
"As always,"
"Well, get ready. We're about to kill the Tsuchikage" said Naruto as he charged forward.
The Tsuchikage looked stunned at the Ninja racing at him.
"No human could have this much stamina. He's already lost about 4 pints of blood, he cant last more than 10 minutes tops" said Lokira quietly
The two then engaged in combat with Naruto swinging his sword valiantly.
"If I cant use my other arm, I'll just have to make do" said Naruto as he put the Raijin Sword's hilt into his mouth and put his hand into a fist but had his index finger and thumb crossed. "TAJUU KAGE BUNSHIN JUSTU!"
A hundred Kage Bunshins appeared with duplicates of the Raijin Sword.
"Come on Ikazuchi, I've not got long left in this world. Get ready to accept the chakra. Sorry if it makes you dizzy" said Naruto quietly
"KAGE BUNSHIN PIERCING RASENGAN HURRICANE: RAIJIN SWORD STYLE!" yelled Naruto as he flowed a great deal of chakra into the Raijin Sword making the blade spin at a tremendous speed. He then added his wind element to the mix and he suddenly had a storm under his control. Each of the clones was doing the same until the Nidaime was surrounded by storms.
"MASS ARASHI RAIJIN SWORD THRUST!" yelled Naruto as all of his clones jumped in the half-sphere formation so there was no escape.
The scream the Nidaime let out was heard all over the Fire Country. His limbs had been ripped from his body and his torso was a bloody mess of the floor. His head had been sliced clean off his shoulders and was lying some 10 feet away from the body.
"We did it Ikazuchi, We did it" breathed out Naruto as he collapsed to the floor.
Tsunade saw this and ran over to the group that had amassed around their leaders body.
"Move! I'm a medic-nin" said Tsunade as she drew some blood replenishment pills from her kit bag.
She forced into Naruto's mouth so hard it nearly knocked his teeth out.
"Shit!" said Tsunade as she took off her Ninja gloves. "GENESIS REBIRTH JUTSU!"
A green glow appeared around Tsunade's hands and she placed them to Naruto's stump.
The tissue slowly started forming as it let a thin layer of skin reform over the wound and then veins were redirected to meet each other so the bleeding would stop.
"How can we help?" asked Kamia
"Get a Speed Kohai, Gobachi is over there, get her. I need to get him to the hospital quickly." Said Tsunade hurriedly
"Ok Miss" said Kamia as she waved for Gobachi who came over.
"Thanks, now I need you to get these women from the women who were evacuated. Take Shinima and fetch Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuuga, Tenten Rianos and Shizune. They are trained in Medic Skills and can help save Naruto" said Tsunade, almost choking on her words.
"Ok Miss" said Kamia as he put Naruto on Gobachi with Tsunade. "Shinima!"
The four tailed fox came running and looked at her questioningly.
"What does a shrimp like you want with me?" asked Shinima
"Don't piss me off fox-breath, I need you to get some Medic-Nin with me to save your summoners life." Said Kamia
"Fine, but don't call me fox-breath" said Shinima grudgingly
"Shut up"
"I hate you"
