To Phionx's ASH: Thank you for reading my fanfic and loving it! About the cliffies, I'll TRY my best avoid them, but sometimes stories need them for color.

Strangers Come To Konoha
Ch 4: Hostile Welcoming Part 1
In the middle of the woods (Rebecca's Location)…
Rebecca turned around and gasped as she saw to 3 figures wearing black jumpsuits with matching black pants. They each wore a pair of black sandals, black fingerless gloves, a strange green vest that had many pockets and headbands that had the same strange symbol carved on a strip of metal. What was most awkward was that they were wearing masks that strangely looked like a certain animal.
"Um… hello." greeted Rebecca as she tried to make peace. The strangers were silent which gave Rebecca an uneasy shiver. "Can, you understand me?" Silence only answered her question. "Well, I come in peace ok? I don't mean any harm." said Rebecca as she slowly set down her mace. Rebecca slowly got up without tarring her eyes away from them. She slowly walked up to the 3 stranger with her hands held up in peace.
Thunk!
In a blink of an eye, a star shaped blade was thrown at Rebecca, but she dodged it and heard the deadening thud of metal colliding with wood. Rebecca jumped back and took up her Morning Dew, holding it in battle position. The 3 strangers then did strange action with their hands; as they did Rebecca felt spiritual power being bended. In a quick action, Rebecca swung her mace back as it started to glow blue.
"Freezing Wave"
Before the 3 could react; Rebecca swung her mace forward, creating a wave of blue mist straight at them. A cracking sound was heard as they looked down in surprise. Ice started to form on the middle of their bodies freezing their hands and connecting themselves to one block. Fortunately their heads and legs were unfrozen but the weight of the ice and 3 people that were stuck together, made escape nearly impossible. Rebecca soon was waving her arms in a graceful manner.
"Foggy Blanket"
Thick fog began to pour out of the woods like a flood, obscuring the vision of the 3 ANBU. Rebecca quickly escaped to avoid killing anyone and possibly causing chaos; she found her self out of the dense fog and walked a bit slower. She decided the most important thing to do was to find her friends as quickly as possible. The 3 ANBU were left stunned and helpless at what they saw.
"What kind of jutsu was that?" exclaimed one of the ANBU.
"I don't know; but it must be very powerful, she used it without doing hand seals." said the second ANBU.
"We better report to the Hokage, this situation might become worse." said the third.
"Worse? Yeah right, she didn't even try to kill us bet she just a push over." scoffed the second.
"No matter, let's just go back." said the first as he tried to turn.
Wham!
Unfortunately, as the ANBUs tried to turn they went off balance and fell head first into the ground. After much toil they got up and walked but…
Crash!
Fell down again. They planned to walk as one since they were connected; as they worked it out they started off again.
Smash!
The block of ice was too big to fit through the trees so they had to sidle there way through.
"Ugh… we're going to be laughing stock of the whole village when we come back. I hope the others are doing fine." thought the ANBUs.
In the middle of the woods (Seth's Location)…
Seth groggily opened his eyes as he tried to get used to the sunlight, he soon became wide awake and apparent of his new surroundings. He got up and looked around and only saw trees, strangely there was no sound of the normal wood inhabitants.
"Must have scared them off when I landed, oh well" thought Seth as she checked to make sure that his weapon was still with him.
"Well I better go find the others, I doubt they be very far." said Seth.
As Seth began to walk, from experience, he had this tingling feeling that he was being followed. He perked up his ears and heard really quiet yet distinct breathing that stood out against the quiet of the woods. Seth, with one quick action twisted around and unsheathed his Volcano Heart.
"Come out and show yourself, I know your there!" shouted Seth acknowledging the presence of 3 ANBU.
They jumped from the shadows that hid them on the branches, with a kunai in hand, they were ready to attack. For a couple of second no one moved, they just stared at each other waiting for the first move. Then 1 of the ANBU ran and disappeared, which had shocked the Fire Warrior, and was face to face with Seth. Seth jumped back as a strange dagger was about to stab him in the heart.
"Shit these guys are fast, better test my new skill if it can hit these guys." thought Seth as the other 2 ANBU jumped.
The 2 ANBU threw a couple of shuriken at Seth, but with ease, they were deflected with his sword.
"My turn." said Seth with a grin.
Seth began to swirl in place, creating an orb of air. Seth began to spin faster and faster making the air compact into a tight space, as it did the ANBU began to feel heat growing as the orb began to glow. In a burst of light the orb ignited into swirling fire, burning the grass and ground around it.
"Raging Vortex"
Seth spun to the ANBUs with frightening speed, along his way he left a path of singed grass. The 3 only had moments to jump as there eyes stung from the dry heat, the fireball missed them only by mere inches resulting in having their uniforms slightly burned. They were soon surprised as the fire abruptly changed direction and came charging towards them. Then the fire dispersed revealing Seth with his now glowing red sword. Seth slashed at their chest and the ANBUs felt a slight sting, but the wound was only slight. Seth did a back flip in mid air and struck the very hilt of his sword on the ground, releasing the red aura from the sword.
"Meteor Shower"
The ground exploded as huge chunks of flaming rock were thrown into the air. The ANBUs easily dodged them and were ready to strike Seth to the ground. Seth quickly jumped away but let his sword stuck on the ground, the ANBU landed on the ground with ease.
"Heh, you were foolish of using such a slow jutsu and leaving your sword in the hands of us." teased 1 of the ANBU.
"Really, I think you should reconsider. Look up." pointed Seth.
"What the hell?"
The rocks were now stuck in mid air and seemed to be attached to thin red strings which came from the crest of the sword. The rocks fell leaving a long tail of raging flame as it tried to crush the 3 ANBU. The ANBUs jumped away but…
KABOOM!
The ground and rocks exploded at impact; fire spewed everywhere and a large column of debris shoot up to the sky. Everyone in Konoha felt a small aftershock as loose objects rattled and saw the large plume of smoke from what was left of the devastating attack. Luckily the fire didn't ignite the woods, but the ANBUs unluckily were rocketed off the ground, into the air, and were heading straight to Konoha.
At Konoha Gate…
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo… CRASH!!!
The 3 ANBU had fallen from the sky and in front of Konoha Gate, all of there uniforms were charred and smoking. Their masks were long burned away, leaving their faces blackened and some of the skin peeling. Their legs were also burnt; revealing muscle tissues that were starting to bleed. Their body, however, was spared from the worst.
"SOMEONE GET A MEDIC-NIN HERE IMEDIATLLY!" shouted one of the gate guards.
People quickly crowded around to get a look at the ANBUs; a few had fear in their eyes as they saw the immense damage. Team 7 had just arrived when they saw the 3 unconscious ANBU; all of them were amazed and wondered who in the world would have so much power. Sakura then came forward telling the guards that she could use healing jutsu; they allowed her to proceed with the rest of Team 7 behind her.
"How bad is it, Sakura?" asked Naruto as he watched Sakura healing one of the ANBU.
"This is really bad; they're suffering from third-degree burns and looks like they've been slashed at the chest, but it's not very deep. Luckily their bodies were protected from their clothes." said Sakura.
"This is awful; whoever did this will pay." said Naruto.
"Well I hope the other ANBU will be ok." said Sakura.
In the middle of the woods (Cassandra's Location)…
Whispering; that was she heard, whispers amongst the air. But it wasn't normal human whisper, this sounded like leaves in the wind. Amongst the whispers were talk of old and wise; it sounded like the slow creaking and groaning of century old spirits. What Cassandra was hearing was the conversation of the trees. Cassandra was already awake and having a small chat with the natives of this world and all were surprised of finding a human who spoke their language.
"It is hard to believe that we, for the first time, have communication between a walker." said one of the trees.
"Well I was born with this power and also I have a love for plants." said Cassandra.
"What else can you do?" asked the trees.
"Well I can borrow your abilities, but only if you are willing to." said Cassandra.
"Borrow?"
"Yeah since I'm a Mage I can only borrow the elements, but Wizards can bend the elements." said Cassandra. (AN: I'm just using my imagination here)
"Mages? Wizards? We only heard of shinobis" said a tree.
"Shinobi? What are those?" asked Cassandra.
"I guessing you're not around from here, well shinobis are ninjas." said a tree.
"Oh I see, almost like rogues and assassins." said Cassandra.
"Exactly and they don't really trust outsiders like you. But we'll be willing to help you; it's been getting lonely having to talk to each other, but talking to you is a new experience and we don't want something to happen to you."
"Thanks for the-"
Cassandra abruptly stopped as she felt a presence, but she couldn't pinpoint its location. The only hint was that this thing was near and there were 3 of them.
"Behind you!" warned one of the trees.
Cassandra jumped just in time as a blade was thrown at where she was just before.
"The hell!" exclaimed Cassandra.
"It's the shinobis, careful they're very fast."
Then 3 ANBU jumped from the shadows, each was holding a shuriken and looked like they were ready to kill. Just then Cassandra had removed a bracelet, Heart Wood, which was on her left arm. The bracelet was thick and made out of bark, around it were all kinds of different leaves that grew. Cassandra held the bracelet in front of her face as she began to chant.
Spirits of Venus
And children of Nature
Heed my call
And come to my aid
From this hour of need
Let me borrow your powers!
Orange and green light exploded as a circle filled with symbols and a drawing of a tree was formed. One by one, orbs started to come forth from the depths of the woods and began to swirl toward Cassandra's bracelet. When the last orb reached its destination, the land around seemed to go through a change. The trees became a bit flexible, the ferns grew longer, the vines became sneakier, and the flowers began to grow in numbers. At first the ANBUs were amazed at Cassandra, but quickly put it off as they threw their shuriken. Cassandra quickly summoned her staff and batted them away like they were nothing but flecks of dirt.
"Root Spear"
With a sway of her staff; blade sharp roots erupted from the ground. The ANBU only had moments to jump away as the roots tarred their uniforms.
"Dagger Leaves"
Leaves fell from the sky and shot straight at 3 like arrows, as they did the edges of the leaves sharpened. Many were dodged but a few were able to graze the faces of the ANBU.
"Damn, looks like I got to do a different spell." thought Cassandra
With a twirl of her staff, orange buds began to grow out of the ground.
"Flowers? What harm is that going to do us?" smirked one of the ANBU.
"You'll see." said Cassandra, with a tone amusement.
"Irritating Bloom"
The buds began to bloom revealing a red center, as they did they created a fine cloud of yellow. At first the ANBUs felt nothing but seconds later they were scratching themselves silly, their eyes began to water as it puffed up and turn red. All over there body was the constant torment of irritation.
"What the hell is this!" exclaimed 1 of the ANBU.
"The pollens from the flowers can go through clothes and extremely reactive to human skin." said Cassandra.
"Then why isn't affecting you?"
"Because I conjured it, so it doesn't harm me or any of my friends. Now that you're busy I guess this is goodbye." said Cassandra as leaves and flower petals surrounded her. With a wave a farewell, she disappeared in a blur leaving the 3 in blinding itchiness.
Done with another chapter, but this is only part 1. I hope you liked this chapter:)
Don't worry, Naruto and some of his friends will be able to fight against the 6 friends.
Skills/Spells/Incantations
Earth-Plant Mage: Cassandra
Mages do not bend the elements unlike Wizards because in their laws; bending the elements goes against the flow of the Universe.
Tree-Mage Connection: Every Mage are required to have a connection between the elements in order to help them with their magic attacks. For a Mage to borrow the powers of the elements, they must first earn the trust of the elements through talking in their language. For some; a Mage has to do a deed more the element but some are lucky when they just talk to it. When a Mage earns the element's trust they have to speak a certain elemental incantation for the element to be able to share their powers. Cassandra's incantation is an Earth-plant incantation and is one of many, many incantations existed. A mage bracelet is also needed as a transfer for the power to go into the Mage's body.
Root Spear: Mages are able to cast the roots of trees, making them extremely sharp, on enemies. This type of magic is very lethal as it can rip anything at the slightest touch. The roots burst from the ground at very high speed, by the time the enemy blinks the roots surround the person.
Dagger Leaves: The trees are willing to give up some of their leaves; which when they drop become more sharp and solid. Although the leaves turn solid, they still are light weight which makes them nearly impossible to avoid because they start to move at random direction.
Irritating Bloom: Flowers who are willing to help a mage, change their genotype (genetic makeup) which changes their phenotype (physical makeup) and making there pollen very irritable to human skin. They change back quickly after their job is done to ensure that the balance of Nature does not get disrupted from their abrupt change.
Fire Warrior: Seth
Warriors use energy and share a bond with their weapons; they treat them like a companion.
Inferno Force (from ch. 1): Energy is transferred from Warrior to ground causing a burst of fire energy. The hilt of the sword is used as a focuser which helps the energy to be concentrated, without it the attack would just be weak and uncontrolled in direction.
Raging Vortex: Air is bended using the sword to attract it. As the air continues to contract around the Warrior, it ignites into fire almost like the way a star is born. In order to move, the Warrior must continue spinning or lose all the air that fuels the fire. Changing direction is very hard and takes a long time to master.
Meteor Shower: Can only be done in the air. While in air, the Warrior must collect energy at 2 locations of the sword; the crest and hilt. There must be equal amount of energy in both location or an imbalance can occur causing an explosion of fire energy. From the air the Warrior plunges the sword into the ground at full force causing it to be thrown into the air in pieces. The energy at the crest of the sword creates a chain between the fires that surrounds the rocks. The crest then pulls the rocks at a speed that can cause explosions and aftershocks on impact.
Water Cleric: Rebecca
Clerics use divine energy to use the environment around them to their use; their powers are used not only for self-defense but to help people.
Freezing Wave: Spiritual power is collected in the mace of the cleric which is use to freeze the air around. When enough spiritual water energy is collected; the cleric releases it in the form of a wave. This wave causes temperatures to drop below -50 C. When the wave hits its target, the air around it freezes creating ice.
Foggy Blanket: Spiritual water energy causes the air around to become moist yet cold, which creates fog. The spell obscures the vision of enemies but not its caster; which results in making the enemy feel lost.
