The Third Hokage stared at the lifeless man before him in horror. Someone could've easily killed the man. which Jirobo noticed. he was in a crouch position behind the old man preparing to slice the old man horizontally across his back. But an anbu that was facing Jirobo kicked him throwing him all the way to another building the force of the slam sent up smoke and rubble flying everywhere.
"Stay focused Hokage-Sama if we lose you then the whole village May fall." The man whispered the crow mask shining in the sun just before he dashed forward to Jirobo again.
"Sarutobi?" the Fourth Hokage questioned, watching the people that was fighting with each other in interest.
"You seem older what day is this?" He asked. His voice cracking in horror when he saw a building in the distance exploded.
Orochimaru answered for the old man. "What you see here is my revenge on Konoah. Seeing the old man is pretty clever I need you to outsmart him." The blond ninja charged the anbu that was fighting with the sound four. He was on them in a split second. He brought a fist to one of the anbu's face sending the man up. In the confusion Sakon was able to plunge a kunia in his opponents stomach killing the man instantly. Still in the air Minato caught the Nin by the leg with his left hand slamming the man back down his spine snapping from the force.
"Rasengan!" the ball of chakra slammed into the ninja's chest blasting a huge whole through the roof making everyone fall through it. The room was well lit everything was pure white dining tables where spreaded everywhere by the force of the Hokage's jutsu the dust making a smoke screen.
"Sarutobi! Stop this!" The Blonde, yelled as he charged the old man a Rasengan in each hand ready to finish the old man.
"I'm right behind you Garaa." The boy with the masked whispered. Sasuke hissed in anger looking up at the blonde. What the hell was this idiot doing wearing a mask like that. Sasuke was sprawled on the branch shakily getting up. He watched as Naruto jumped off the branch away from Garaa who tried to lash out with his tail. "Uchiha!" The voice that came out of the mask was not Naruto's His voice...even if it was angry would have that cheery tone to it that everyone loved. But this voice right now was cold it gave no one any room for an argument.
"Are you hurt?" Naruto asked taking a note of his surrounding. His green eyes pierced threw the mask as if it wasn't even there. He saw through everything the squirrel that was shivering in its little home n fear in the trees to the dear who ran under them desperately trying to run away from Garaa terrifying chakra.
"No I used half of my chakra though."
Naruto nodded. "Try using that Chidori thingy when you see an opening." Naruto began doing handseal, which excited the redhead.
"Come on Uzumaki you may have put that mask on but you chakra cant fool me! Sand Shruriken" Garaa sand that was over his shoulder rose up slightly then like a bullet they shot out homing in on Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke began to do handseals as well seeing that Naruto was still doing handseals that sasuke's sharingan instantly read.
"Goukakyuu no Jutsu"Sasuke yelled. A huge ball of flames rolled out of Sasuke's mouth the heat making Sasuke and Naruto sweat. The fire slammed threw the sand making small pops of explosion take place in the fire. The trees began to catch on fire smoke rising high into the sky. Garaa was nowhere to be found which made Sasuke sigh in relief and Naruto to stop his handseals the chakra around him slowly coming to a stop.
"GRAHHHH" Garaa was fully transformed now. He dashed out of the flames slamming Naruto and Sasuke into separate trees. All around them the fire began to get stronger making it hard for Naruto and Sasuke to breathe the claw wrapped around them wasn't making it any better either. "Calm down Sasuke." Naruto whispered. But Naruto was also scared. He couldn't use his hands to perform jutsu nor could he force himself out of this.
"Chidori!" Sasuke's hand came to life ripping the claw away from making Garaa reel back in pain and anger. Sasuke was huffing now this will be his last jutsu. He charged toward Naruto jumping and slicing his way to Naruto the sand violently trying to recapture him, Regaining himself Garaa released Naruto a sick smirk slid onto his face.
Sasuke's eyes went wide seeing that his momentum will make his jutsu hit Naruto dead in the chest. Without looking at Sasuke he brought his hand up as branches from trees near by ensnared Sasukes arm making him stop abruptly.
The jutsu sizzled out of Sasuke's hand. He slowly slumped to the ground completely out of chakra. Naruto stepped over Sasuke looking up at the now huge Ichibi.
"It's over Uzumaki!" Garaa brought his monstrous claw up sending it down on Naruto.
"Shit!" Naruto hissed. He pulled Sasuke over his shoulder wood coming from under him shooting him up high over the canopy using his chakra he jumped gaining more air getting closer to the ichihbi's hands.
"Shadow clone no jutsu" a Naruto came under the real Naruto's foot letting him kick off it sending him tumbling on the ichibi's hand Sasuke a few inches behind him. Naruto shakily stood up putting Sasuke over his shoulder again. Dashing up the huge claw to meet the red headed jinchruiki.
Sarutobi held onto the fourth Hokage's arms that were mere inches from touching him. " I disrupted your chakra." Sarutobi whispered as the rasengans slowly disappeared. The old man stared at the lifeless eyes of Minato. Grunting Sarutobi spun and kicked Minato back making him slide back to Orochimaru.
"Well sensei I guess I should join this little game as well." Orochimaru's head cocked back his mouth agape. High-pitched hissing began to fill the room as a sword shot out of his mouth. Minato fell into his fight style waiting for Orochimaru's orders.
Sarutobi formed to Kage Bunshin one on each side from him. He had only one jutsu left before he ran out of chakra.
"Shiki Fuujin" A huge figure hovered over the third Hokage his pale purple skin was lighting the room with a purple tint.
"It's over Orochimaru! I will bring you down first no matter what! " Sarutobi gasped in pain blood dripping from his nose and mouth.
"Hahaha Sarutobi-sensie you obviously don't have any chakra to finish your jutsu. Unless it a genjutsu." Orochimaru brought his hands up together pulsing his chakra. He didn't notice anything different which made him chuckle.
"Die!" he spat, his sword shooting out likes a missile into Sarutobi's stomach. But the old man was already upon him latching onto Orochimaru's hands with his.
"What are you doing?" Orochimaru gasped seeing that he was unable to move. His eyes instantly snapped up meeting the eyes of death itself. Like a train fear slammed into the man. In front of him was a true god someone with this kind of power surely couldn't exist. It was impossible! Orochimaru's inability to move also made the fourth Hokage to freeze as well. Sakon and Kidimaro finished the anbu off their curse seal receding back to there mark. They both ran towards the third Hokage ready to finish him.
"Stop!" Orochimaru hissed. If he was able to survive this by himself he would be able to handle anything!
"Sakura wake up!" Shikamaru yelled stirring her out of the genjutsu with his physical contact with her.
"Wh-what happened!" her head lurched up looking at her surroundings seeing Konoah and sound nin fighting, sound nin just beginning to retreat.
"Sasuke!" she said.
"Where's Sasuke a-and Naruto!" She was truly worried about those two.
"Kakashi summoned his dog so we can find them. We have to hurry though the battle with Garaa could possibly be over!" Sakura noticed that Shikamaru sweating and huffing hard. The blood across his face showed that he was fighting also.
Sakura stood up dusting herself off. "Lets go Shikamaru I have a word with the blond when all of this is over."
