I am so sorry for this taking so long to get up, but I had some huge writers block on how to carry this out. Now I think I got it. The siege of Hokage tower will span a few chapters (not exactly sure how many but it's more then one), and will have a very surprising ending that will greatly influence some future chapters, and the ultimate end to the battle of Konohagakure.

Konohagakure
"So," Ino said, hanging onto the side of the jeep for her life. "Saiyo is it right?"
"Yep," he replied. "What about me?"
"Since when did you get so good at driving," Ino asked.
"I stole a car one day as a teenager with nothing better to do, and I've been driving them ever since," Saiyo told her.
"Well you can probably slow down," Ino ordered. "No one is chasing us."
"I'm trying to get you to the airfield fast aren't I," Saiyo said.
"Just drive a bit easier," Tenten replied, hanging onto the grips of the machine gun for dear life. "I'm getting a bit woozy." She then looked around. "At least there is no sign of them right now. I don't know that with this guy behind the wheel I'd be able to aim straight." She then faced forward one more time, and saw another armored car come into the road. "Watch it Saiyo." Their new driver then hit the breaks, spinning the jeep sideways and turning Tenten to directly face the car with her machine gun.
"Eat some," Tenten said, holding the triggers down and watching smoke and flame erupt from the barrel of the M2. Each round slammed into the armored car, and shredded it to tiny pieces. "Amazing what machine guns can do."
"Everyone alright," Saiyo asked.
"Yeah," Tenten said. "Nice move."
"Nice is an understatement," Ino said, her eyes widening at the thought of what could have happened if Saiyo wasn't behind the wheel.
"Get used to it," he said, driving down another street. "There will only be more of them to come."
"Lets move it people," Kurenai ordered, as she walked around the base of Hokage tower. "Every window is to have a machine gun in it, every plane is to be fully fueled and ready to fly and every tank and every gun must be dug in."
"Kurenai you think you're taking this a little to seriously," Anko said, walking alongside her friend and boss. "I mean do we really need all this?"
"This is a threat on the Hokage Anko chan," Kurenai reminded her. "Remember?"
"Yeah but they aren't going to go all out with it, are they," Anko questioned.
"I think they are," Kurenai said. "I really think they are, and for the love of kami sama where the hell are Hinata and Naruto?"
"Who knows," Anko said.
"Ma'am," a male voice said. A soldier then ran up to them, holding a Sten gun. "Hokage air guard pilots just spotted two Blood Red scouts."
"Order them to take them down then," Kurenai ordered. "Make sure they do not make it back to their regrouping point, we can't let them change their tactics to our defenses."
"Yes Ma'am," the soldier replied. He then ran away back to his post.
"So what do we do now," Anko questioned. Kurenai picked up a Sten gun and threw Anko an M1.
"We wait," Kurenai said. "That's our only option, and hope to kami sama that when they come we can take them."
"Alright, put the sun to my back and then we go," Naruto said, pulling his P5U1 up higher, above the tops of the buildings. "Lets open up some tin cans." He then banked downward and dove on the tanks.
"Hey you hear something," a Blood Red soldier riding on the back of a tank said.
"Sounds like engines," another one next to him said. "But I'm not seeing any...planes!" Two rockets then came down and hit the two tanks in front of them, making burning corpses and flaming steel fly wildly into the air. Bullets then shot around around the two soldiers, as some of their comrades who were walking or in jeeps were machine gunned to death with 20mm shells.
"Good run," Naruto said, pulling back up again to get himself in the sun. As he was, a few "bomph" like sounds were heard outside his cockpit. "God damn flak," Naruto said, trying to dodge the black clouds of metal shards flying through the air. "Looks like their fighting back reasonably for once." He then went directly over the group of tanks and then dove straight down, making the G forces press his body against the seat of the aircraft. A hail of 20mm fire and three rockets were released from his plane, and two tanks and four trucks were blown to pieces. "Now pull out," he said, clutching the stick. "And get out of here." The P5U1 then leveled out and he managed to climb back up again to avoid the flak. "Phew close one."
"Not close enough rookie," a voice said. A burst of machine gun fire then went past him, and Naruto had to bank the P5U1. Doing so, he nearly hit the side of a building. "Surprised you blew up so many tanks without getting shot down, you must have some really dumb luck."
"Wait a minute," Naruto said to himself. "I know that voice." He then fired a burst of machine gun fire, and destroyed one Coyote flying with another kind of plane. "I know that voice very well. Masao Nakasura, what's going on old friend?"
"Don't play that game with me man," Masao said. "I'm way beyond playing games with you."
"I see that Ravenscroft M98 Alpha Wolf flying good," Naruto asked. "I thought I tore it to pieces with my 'shitty Machhi' almost two years ago. Man how did that dogfight go again?"
"You shut up," Masao said. "That was my first time behind the controls. I know now how to fight, and I'm going to blow you to pieces."
"Lets see you try," Naruto said. Naruto looked in front of him, and Masao was gone. "Hey, where'd you go?" A pair of flaming napalm rockets then shot past the P5U1. "God damn it." Naruto was started to get the idea that the Masao wasn't joking about what he said before. In response, Naruto then sped away and then did an Immelman, turning back to face Masao.
"Head on eh," Masao said. "I can like that. Eat lead punk." Masao then fired a stream of rounds that blew holes into a building behind Naruto.
"He isn't blowing me to pieces that's for sure," Naruto said.
"Pretty good shot with my guns aren't I," Masao said.
"Yeah guns are good," Naruto said, slipping quietly behind Masao's M98. "But nothing can beat a rocket."
"What," Masao said.
"So long buddy," Naruto said. "Been nice of you to annoy me for a little while, but after some time it got bad. Later." Naruto then pulled the trigger and fired a magnetic rocket, so close that the explosion nearly blinded his view in front of his plane. He still managed to fly straight through the fray however, and his P5U1's armored plating withstood the explosion. Masao was no where to be found. "I knew he wouldn't be around." Naruto flew away, but standing on the side of a building was a young man in his mid twenties with brown hair and torn up clothes, along with several cuts along his body.
"Hehehehehehehehehe," the guy cackled. "Good work you nimrod. You just confirmed my fear, but it's nothing to fear now. You're going to burn you cocky son of a bitch, this isn't the last you've seen of me."
"Alright imouto chan," Hinata said, getting to the end of the runway with her Devastator. "You got to be really alert. This is going to be nothing like flying that Provost."
"I'm fine," Hanabi said. "Just watch me Hinata. I'm going to prove to you I can fly." A large group of planes then flew over them.
"Massive formation inbound," Hinata said. "You ready?"
"You think I'm not," Hanabi questioned.
"Then lets fly," Hinata said, giving her Devastator some throttle. "Into the wild blue yonder!" Hinata was the first to get into the air.
"I love you oneechan," Hanabi said smiling, giving her Angel full throttle. It quickly reached the end of the runway. "And now." She then pulled up the controls, and the plane then ascended into the air. "How beautiful Angels can be. Isn't that right Hinata?"
"Yep," Hinata said. "Angels are very beautiful imouto chan, very very beautiful. But your angel can do something a biblical angel would never do."
"What's that," Hanabi asked, turning to meet her sister.
"It can kill," Hinata said, letting loose two magnetic rockets. "Now remember this, with your guns always lead your target. Unless you are going into a head on duel with another plane or it's moving slowly, never aim directly for the target. Usually it'll produce a clean miss. Lead your target and shoot where you think he'll be, and then you'll be able to get it."
"Got it," Hanabi said, pulling up to meet a group of Coyote's, Peacemakers and two Wolves in the front.
"Hold up Hanabi imouto chan," Hinata said. "Go up high, I need to do something here."
"What," Hanabi asked. She then watched her sister go up under one of the Wolves and blow it out of the sky with a magnetic rocket and machine gun fire combo, then go up and dive down fly away to lure the remaining one of the Wolves away from the group.
"That," Hinata said. "The guy on my tail is probably a really good ace, and I need the practice. Now go hit them."
"Got it," Hanabi replied. "Arigato oneechan, that was very nice of you." Hinata smiled and then did a power climb to avoid a stream of gunfire from the plane chasing her. Meanwhile Hanabi then went to try out the weapons on her plane.
"Well lets see," Hanabi said, lining up the crosshairs on a Coyote. "Primary weapon this plane, take one." She then chuckled at her words, and pulled the triggers on her controls, firing the guns. In one hit, the Coyote was blown to pieces. "Wow." She then quickly changed her target and pulled the trigger again, blowing up another Coyote before the formation began to scatter.
"Careful imouto chan," Hinata said. "You don't carry a ton of ammo on you, especially with only two 57mm guns."
"Holy crap," Hanabi yelled. "That's some huge guns."
"Try your second weapon," Hinata said. She then went back to going to get her kill. "Slippery little dick aren't you Blood Red?"
"Hai," Hanabi replied. She then flicked a switch on her controls. "Trident missiles, hmm this should be interesting." She then pulled the trigger and fired one. The missile was dropped off the hardpoint and then fired it's engine, shooting straight up. "Well that was a waste of time." She then heard a boom. "Huh?" She looked up to see a large explosion, and out of it many spear like black metal rods coming down and hitting the other planes. "Imouto chan, I just took down six planes with one Trident missile! How come you didn't tell me the plane could do this?"
"I forgot," Hinata said. "Now I have some business to take care of." She then slowed her plane down and watched the pilot of the wolf overturn her, going right into the line of fire of Hinata's Devastator's machine guns. "Sucker," Hinata said, pulling the triggers and firing all her machine guns. The rounds tore into the other plane and blew off it's tail. "Come back next time, just because you got wings doesn't mean you can fly, and just because you can fly doesn't mean you can ever take me down."
"Well put oneechan," Hanabi said. "Very well put."
"Lets get to the Hokage tower," Hanabi said. "That's where these guys are headed and we'll have a more level fight there."
"Finally," Hanabi said. "A chance to really kick some ass. Come on Hinata, lets go and protect that old geezer." Hinata began laughing as she flew after Hanabi.
"She really is a tomboy," Hinata thought. "Yet that's what makes you so great Hanabi imouto chan, that's what makes you not just great, but plain awesome."
"Mother fuckers," Tenten yelled. "You want a piece of me, come get a piece of me bitches!"
"Ten stop yelling and just shoot the damn armored cars," Ino screamed.
"Oh sorry," Tenten said, whipping the machine gun around to aim it at some oncoming Coyotes. "Stupid shitheads." She then began firing the .50 cal, only to miss quite a few times. "They move fast those shits."
"Well they aren't coming back," Ino said. Another armored car then came out from an alley. "How many of these things do they have?"
"Hang on girls," Saiyo replied, swerving the jeep to avoid the burst of 20mm shells and 7.62mm machine gun fire. During this fit of mad driving, Tenten just managed to get enough footing to hold out a burst long enough to tear apart the armored car. "Wish I could do that."
"Wish I could do what you do behind the wheel," Tenten said. She then looked forward. "Panzer!"
"Hold on I'm going to," Saiyo began to say.
"Just drive straight," Ino said. "It's my turn for some trigger time, and my trigger finger is very itchy."
"You better hurry up," Saiyo said. Ino then put a rocket into the tube, right as the tank began to fire it's main gun.
"He's so dead," Ino said.
"But the tank is facing forwards," Saiyo said.
"Nope," Tenten said. "Only the turret is, the chassis is not." Ino smiled and pulled the trigger on the Bazooka, smoke and flame erupting from the tube. The rocket then slammed into the back of the tank, right into the fuel tank. Saiyo ducked to avoid the flaming metal coming down, yet still had his foot on the gas and drove down another road.
"My god," Saiyo said, looking through a rear view mirror. "You totaled that thing."
"Took the turret clear off," Ino said, setting her rocket launcher down. "That was quite fun."
"I could really grow to like these girls," Saiyo thought with a smile. He kept on driving down the road. "I could really grow to like them."
"Alright," Kurenai said, hanging up a telephone. "So far we're ok, the defenses are primed and Sakura said she'd help back at the HQ with Talia. I told her we'd probably be gone for a day or two.
"That's good to know," Anko said. "So you ready for what could come?"
"I don't know," Kurenai said. "I can't say I am, but I can't say I am not. All I can say is," she said, taking a clip of 9mm bullets and putting it into her submachine gun. "We are going to fight, and I'm ready to do just that."
"That's good to know," Anko said, shoving a clip of .30-06 bullets into her M1. "Because I am quite ready as well."
"Madame, Anko chan, incoming," a soldier said.
"What the," Anko said. Both her and Kurenai were then pushed over onto the ground.
"What the hell was the for," Kurenai asked.
"Madame look at that," the soldier said, pointing down the road. Outside was a Panzer IV. A T34 then fired it's gun, and got a direct hit on the tank. More tanks, trucks, and men began coming in though.
"Oh my," Anko said.
"It's official," Kurenai said, getting behind the top 7.62mm machine gun and cocking the action. "The siege of Hokage tower as begun." Anko looked at her friend wide eyed, while Kurenai merely leveled the gun. "Come on Anko chan, lets paint the ground red." Anko saw a Blood Red aiming a rifle at Kurenai, so she did the same to him.
"I think I can like that," she said, pulling the trigger and feeling the rifle kick up against her shoulder. Crimson then began to spew out of the soldier's forehead. "I can like being under fire quite a bit."
