Disclaiming thingy: I uh don't own Naruto or it's characters but I own this story and it's OCs. Take them and DIE!

--------

The thing that creeped Sasuke out the most about being near Sai wasn't his emotionless state, it was his girlish dress and his pale skin. They had been put on the same post for almost three weeks now, and he wasn't very happy about it. Sai, and his girlish clothes, constantly had to tell him to stay silent with his bitching.

Their post was about fifteen miles away from the east gate of Konoha, and their little station was at the base of a great oak tree. They had a little portable radio set up and ready to transmit anything they had seen or heard to the guys back at home, yet the only thing they ever used it was when asked to check in. The only thing they ever seen was the occasional deer, rabbit, bird, badger, and other wildlife. Yet today was different, not even the smallest of creatures was showing up. Nothing had happened and it was starting to worry the Uchiha, even Sai it seemed was getting a little worried. In the distance they could definitely hear tanks and other things moving through the forests.

Planning for the worst Sai gave Sasuke the rifle they had for recon, and got on their radio to report what they had been hearing. As Sasuke started to scan over the left side of the area he felt a warm liquid on his right cheek, and he feared the worst when he touched it. Blinking as he moved his hand to where he could see the liquid, now on his finger (for those that need the explanation), as he looked over the blood on his finger a sound rolled over them. Sasuke's eyes grew wide as he heard the next shot whistle past his ear and slam into the tree behind him.

----Back at the Marine's HQ Tent-----

"THIS IS FOX-THREE OUT ON OP-5-static- I REPEAT NEED IMMEDIATE REINFORCEMENTS!" The chatter from the radios woke the Marines from a mid-afternoon nap.

"Sai's hit, I don't think he'll make it! I need help, I'm fifteen out from the East Gates. There's a sniper somewhere and MAJOR-static- EAT LEAD MOTHERFU-static-"

The Marines' eyes all shot open wide, some of them smiled but Lt jumped up and threw on his armor. This time they wouldn't be late. As Lt strapped on his chest armor K9 and the rest of the Marines, who were already dressed up, loaded their weapons and, as he finished, threw him an M4A1. As they loaded up on ammo and grenades and other gear Birdman ran ahead to start up a helicopter, a Blackhawk armed with mini-guns for the men in the bird and rockets and another gun for the pilot. By the time the Marines had their gear in order he had the helicopter ready to go as soon as they were loaded up. As they started to run out of the tent Bird started to take off a little, as they all started to pile in he started off higher and higher. Instead of going with the others Greased looked over to a smaller helicopter and started it up, he would assist in ridding the world of that bastard of a sniper.

----With Sasuke and a dieing Sai------

Sasuke was no longer holding onto the sniper rifle, instead he wielded a M60 light machine gun. He positioned himself around the tree so that his back was toward his home, and the enemy were stuck in his field of fire. As he tried to radio for aid the sniper decided to reload and shoot his only radio, and with Sai bleeding to death from his throat, he was on his own. He always chose to carry far more ammo for any of the weapons he used than what the situations called for, yet this time it would keep him alive. He prayed that the idiots back in Konoha got the message and help was on the way, the four hundred round he carried for the MG were going to be spend faster than he thought.

The sniper was getting itchy with his trigger, instead of shooting at only Sasuke he shot at his own forces as well. Sasuke thanked the sniper in that 'I hope it back fires' kind of way for killing his own men. Sasuke noticed that his barrel was starting to turn red, and that it was about time to reload a second time. As the next round started to run through the barrel of the gun the sniper did the unthinkable. The once proud M60 machine gun was now turned into a useless pile of metal, its barrel now split into two pieces of red hot metal.

The thoughts of death running through his mind made Sasuke's chest ache, he didn't want to die yet. Drawing his new M9 pistol he sat behind the tree, out of the sniper's line of sight. The pistol he had out had fifteen rounds inside the magazine and he hoped to use them to their fullest. From his little hiding spot Sasuke could hear the enemy running around him, his heart was going fucking ape shit in his chest. He'd never felt this much fear of death, he was one that welcomed death for the longest of times. But this day was different, on this day he could see his body laying in a pool of blood and metal casings.

Demoralized and fearing the worst, Sasuke's heart sank when he heard the roar of a helicopter flying towards him. Wanting to see death coming for him he looked to the sky, and instead of death he saw hope. Bird waved to the shinobi before holding down the triggers on the stick of the chopper he flew, the weapons let loose their ammunition in a roar of death. Each soldier that was cut down screamed in pain as the hot metal bullets and shards from the missiles hit them, each of them screamed as their lives were cut short.

Feeling much better Sasuke pulled out a green smoke grenade and pulled the pin before throwing it to the ground to reveal his location better. As Bird turned the helicopter around to drop off his fellow Marines, Grease flew past him guns blazing. Grease was searching for the sniper that plagued his friendlies. Sasuke was grinning evilly now that his friends were there to help him, he ripped off his mask and rushed through the seals of his favorite jutsu.

"Katon : Goukakyuu No Jutsu!" He said under his breath while inhaling deeply.

As Sasuke let out his massive fire ball, the Marines roped into the battle from the helicopter. As Lt hit the ground he quickly reached for his M4 and started to secure the Drop off for his friends. Each of the Marines landing took up positions, as they were trained to do, to keep the ones roping down safe. As Venom and Schatten touched down to the ground a bullet hole formed in the glass in front of Bird's heart.

"I....I'm...hit...?" He asked over the radio.

"BLUE GET OUT OF THE BIRD!" Lt yelled into his headset.

As Bird's vision turned into darkness his grip on the control stick slackened and eventually ceased to be. As Bird's strength left his body entirely he slumped forward slowly until the stick moved forward slowly. As Blue noticed the movements of the helicopter it was too late, the bird was going to slam into the ground with him inside. Lt thought things couldn't get worse for his friend in the chopper, until the tail rotor of the helicopter shatter with the roar of a rifle in the air.

Grease, seeing the muzzle flash of the sniper's rifle, flew towards the sniper with his hand itching at the trigger. Not knowing what was going on with Bird and the others he kept flying towards the enemy sniper.

Lt and the others watched in disbelief as their friend went spinning towards the ground. As the helicopter reached the tree line the tail smashed into the tops of them and broke free, slamming into a group of Sound soldiers killing them instantly. The helicopter now plummeted towards the earth even faster, and Blue said his final prayers and good byes.

"Farewell my brothers.....It's been a wonderful li-" The transmission was cut off as the helicopter hit the ground and exploded due to the missile pods.

Enraged by the death of their brothers in arms, the Marines charged the Sound forces with a new found speed and hatred. The Sound Soldiers were amazed at the stunt, they had never seen a small force charge a much larger one. They were even more amazed when they slung their weapons on their backs and drew their knives or put a bayonet on their weapon, like Lt.

---Back in Konoha----

"Out Posts One through Seven are all under heavy assault, the Marine forces dispatched to the weakest point and-"

"Naruto also went to Sasuke's aid!" Sakura interrupted the messenger from Radio Ops.

The war council that they stood in front of was headed by Asuma, everyone's favorite pick for leader since he was the Third's boy. It also was comprised of Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai, and Maito Gai, who kept demanding a glorious charge at the enemy while everyone was in their 'Youthful Prime'. The news of Naruto's charge left Kakashi's one visible eye wide open, and the other three's closed in displeasure. Naruto had been hasty in his actions before and most of the attempts never really came out to well, like the last recon mission he was sent on. The poor boy came back with three platoons hot on his heels after he threw a grenade on their favorite toilet.

Asuma sighed at the situation in front of him. All the reports he had laid in front of him described a full 360 degree assault from the ground and no sign of air units other than their own. The enemy had large numbers of infantry accompanied by tanks and some APCs and Anti-Aircraft vehicles. The closest assault know at the time was at Out Post 5, but if they dispatched reinforcements then that would create an opening for the enemy to take into their gates and strike from the inside. He knew not what decision to make on this, and he knew time was not of the essence. Seeing as how there were large amounts of enemy forces headed straight towards his city, and none of them were willing to negotiate. Evacuation was impossible with who their enemy's leader was. Orochimaru knew of every escape tunnel, every route, and every inch of the city. The only thing that wasn't known to him, Asuma hoped, was how to kill their defense systems.

The entire grid was comprised of very high tech gear. Automated machine guns, AA guns, Anti-Tank weaponry, etc. Yet even with the defense grid something ate at the back of his mind.

----Naruto's vehicle----

"COME GET SOME YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!" Naruto yelled over a microphone.

He was sitting inside of what he considered the most deadly tank ever created, the M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. The tank had armor that not even the Marine forces knew of, the cannon was a 120mm (this information is accurate so suck my nuggets) which could pound even the strongest of walls into fucking dust. It also had, installed by the Marines as a side upgrade, a remote controlled .50 caliber machine gun on the top of the turret along with another one mounted for the cannon's gunner to use. Fortunately for him he could make shadow clones to man every station in the tank, a one man army some joked with him.

As he pulled into Out Post Five's A-O (area of operation) he noticed several Marine's sitting on the chests of Sound troops with their knifes and bayonets covered in blood and gore. Instead of being able to help the Marine's out immediately on foot, Naruto had to blast away for some immediate cover. Picking the biggest trees to level around the Marine's, Naruto turned the 120 and blew apart the base of the trunks sending strips of wood everywhere.

Sasuke smiled and climbed inside the tank with Naruto, as he closed the latch inside he pat his friend on the shoulder and silently thanked him. As Naruto dispersed the clone manning the .50 Sasuke took over, immediately mowing down three soldiers with a quick burst.

As Sasuke and the many Naruto's covered the blood drunk Marine's, Greased still hunted after the sniper until his weapons started to run dry. The sniper, it seemed, had ran away. Good, he thought, now he could get his friends out of the hot zone and into some beds. On his way back to his fellow marine's he heard yet another gun shot, the sniper found himself another target. Yet this time the target wasn't made of metal, bark, or glass. This time it was the warm flesh of a man covered in Sound blood. The man's eyes went wide, he couldn't breath. His body felt cold and like it was going numb. His vision was blurred and his heart beat started to slow. The man had watched enough people die to know what was going to become of him, his limbs felt heavy. He could feel the life being drained from the wound in his chest, then another hole emerged. The pain wasn't there, he just felt cold. He felt tears rolling down his face as his body fell sideways onto the ground. The man he had been stabbing was dead, just like he was going to be. The images flashing through his mind were of his home, the love of his life smiled as he kissed her. He smiled as the tears slowed, he missed her.

"I....I'm hit..." He said over his mic unit.

"No!" Lt yelled running over to his friend.

Lt picked up his long time friend and grabbed his hand, this wasn't happening. He wasn't going to lose another one was he?

Naruto pulled the tank in front of the Marines and fired off at everything that moved, Sasuke didn't do much better. Combined the two leveled every tree, bush, and shrub in the area in front of them. Not a single Sound soldier moved out of their hiding spots, and some fell back to their command station.

The man smiled as Lt's figure formed in his blurred vision, he was growing colder.

"It...It's alright my brother....we'll see each other again." He said smiling.

"You're not going to die, stay with me K9!" Lt yelled tears forming in his eyes.

"We...We did a good thing....I'm sorry for....ev..ery..thi...ng..." K9 breathed his last breath.

Lt slumped down, first his home was destroyed in an attack by Russians and now his friend and brother was dead? How much more blood needed be spilt before this conflict ended. He was tired of it all, he just wanted to see his love again. He wanted to drink in honor of everyone's brother hood with them. But most of all, he wanted to protect his brothers.

"Lt we have to go! We're going to be over run! The tank's almost empty and Grease is landing the bird now!" Schatten yelled picking up his friend.

Just as Schatten and Lt moved to the chopper, and RPG whizzed past their heads. Grease's eyes went wide and Venom tried to jump free of the bird. But before either could move very far the explosive took them. Igniting the fuel and ammo the helicopter exploded two more times after the RPG did, leaving no chance of survival for the two Marines. Shell shocked and wounded from shrapnel Lt and Schatten lay upon the ground, paralyzed by the explosions' shock wave. Two of Naruto's clones climbed from the tank and fetched the two, the next thing they saw was darkness.

----The next morning----

"MEDIC!!!" A voice yelled out in the distance.

The attack came early in the morning, they fell upon the outer defenses without warning. The defense system wreaked havoc upon the Sound soldiers, but ultimately there were too many of them and the outer lines fell, as did the power grids for the defenses. Somehow the enemy was in the walls of the city, or the citizens turned traitor. Either way, the city was now under complete and total attack. And no-one knew how to defend it.

The remaining Marines, Lt and Schatten, lay side by side under heavy underbrush with two silenced SR-25s. Their silent pffts of the rifles sent many men to their deaths. Yet not even their sniping could have stopped the inevitable. The city gates fell, then the town square. But that's where the enemy stopped for some reason, as if they were toying with the five hundred remaining soldiers. They left the battle to the infantry, and the hundreds of thousands of them were plenty. By noon the five hundred turned into one hundred fifty, and those one hundred fifty hid amongst ruined buildings, debris, and other things the Sound forces were too cocky and full of themselves to search.

Morale was low, and it took an even bigger hit when the next list of casualties came through.

Their forces were now.....TO BE CONTINUED!
