Tsunade stood in her office facing the windows. This wasn't good. Too many bad things were happing at once. Hinata almost dieing, Hinata and Sakura both held captive and now this. "What the hell is going on?" Tsunade whispered looking down at the people walking in the streets. No one knew what was going. They had no idea that a war might break out because of this thing that was destroying the earth and people attacking everything. They had no idea that the village could be in danger. They had no idea. And they weren't going to find out. Tsunade was going to push them not finding out for as long as she could. She was going to protect her village. What is a woman suppose to do? I'm over sixty and I have to save a village. Now I see why Jirayia died. He was fighting some stronger and younger then him. Jirayia, help me, Sarutobi, help me.
"Hokage-sama, your orders?" Shikaku asked. Shikaku was leading the group to fight the thing. He was in charge of hundreds of ninja and ANBU. Choji was to show him where the boat is and then head back home. Hopefully by the time this was settled, Naruto would be home with Hinata and Sakura.
"Move out and be careful." Tsunade said to Shikaku. She then turned to Choji. "Choji, you know your part and once you're done come home."
"Yes, Hokage-sama." The two men said in allusion.
Tsunade had not moved even after the two men left. She watched the hundreds of ninja leave to go fight a battle they might not win. Many would lose there lives. Family would be disappointed. Everyone would lose a loved one today. Tsunade had no doubt about it. Please, Kami, watch over every leaf nin going into battle today. Please watch there safety. Once Tsunade had finished her prayer, she went to find some whiskey.

Neji had confirmed the base they were standing in front of was the place where both Hinata and Sakura were being held captive. However, he couldn't find Sakura but he found Hinata. Alive and somewhat well. Naruto had Shikamaru come up with the plan and now everyone went into formation. "This will be hard without Choji but we can live." Shikamru had said. "Gai-sensei, you will take Choji's place with the breaking in."
"Right." Gai had said seriously. No one beside the senseis had seen Gai serious besides Lee but he's dead. It was a first for everyone else, even Neji.
"Everyone in formation?" Kakashi asked over the radio.
"Affirmative." Everyone answered.
"All right. Begin." Kakashi said into the radio and everyone began there part of the plan.

"How much farther Choji?" Shikaku asked his best friends son.
"Not that much farther. We should be there within the next hour." Choji said and after that, no one spoke another word because everyone was e preparing for a battle they might not win. However, they would sacrifice themselves to save their village from war and poverty. Choji was right, they where there with in the hour. "Okay troops. This is the plan..." Shikaku explained the plan and every ninja had there own part of the plan. After he was done, talking Shikaku pulled Choji aside. "Choji, I will most likely not survive this battle. Please tell Shika and my wife I love them. Tell your father and Ino's that I love them also and will never forget them."
"Yessir."
"Good. Now get going." Shikaku said watching Choji take of toward the village. "Alright! Listen up! We will start in about five minutes. I want everyone ready to go. Say your last prayers and have no fear. For we are ninja of the Leaf and we will die with Honor!" After Shikaku yelled that last phrase, every ninja was yelling in agreement and then everyone was saying there last goodbyes or getting ready for the battle.
Five minutes later, everyone was in formation. "Alright. Move out!" Every ninja leapt forward to many of there deaths.

The first group broke open the wall. "What do you see Neji?" Naruto whispered.
Neji activated him Byakugan. "Three guards to the left and Hinata is to the right. Sakura... I can't find her."
"It's alright." Naruto said to Neji. He then pressed a button one his radio. "Kakashi. We have target on Hinata. You find Sakura. Over and out"
"Affirmative. Over and out."
"All right. Let's move it. Gai, I want you to take care of the guards. Neji, Shika, with me." Naruto said running towards Hinata's cell. They stopped in front of Hinata's cell. Naruto motioned for Neji to break the door. After several attempts, the door broke open. All three of the men walked into the cell.

Kakashi was guiding his group down the hallways. They checked every cell and so far no Sakura. What if she's dead? All right. Let's go back. We've checked every cell. There's no sign of her." They where walking out when Kiba sensed someone's chakra. "It's strong." Was all Kiba said.
A couple of seconds later, Kakashi was rained on by kunia's. "What the hell? Everyone out!"
"I don't think so." A voice chuckled. "I like seeing you like this, Kakashi. Bleeding and hurt. You don't know how long I've waited for you to come." The voice paused. "Not that long actually. Once Naruto found out that Hinata, his beloved, was found missing. It would be easy to get you here. Ohh, are you looking for her?" The voice came forward. It was Sasuke with a dead Sakura in his arms. "Take her. She was a bug that needed to be squashed."
"What the hell... did you do?" Kiba shouted.
"Kakashi, we have Hinata. Over." Naruto said over the radio.
Naruto you idiot. "Perfect. The plan was a success."
"Success? What does that mean?" Kurenai asked.
"The whole plan was to get Naruto here. We needed Naruto to complete the ultimate plan. We captured Hinata and Sakura for bait. The real person we we're after was Naruto."
"Kakashi?" Naruto asked again.
"Naruto, come here now. We need back up."
"Alright on our way." Naruto's line then went dead.
"What's going on?" Itachi asked.
