Chapter 11
(Miles from Mt. Omashu)
Shizune and the rescue team had no trouble finding the survivors of Oto. The Genin from Konoha had done a descent job setting up a camp and forming watches.
Hana and Tsume vouched that Oto nin with them were on their side and Shizune started to check on the wounded. She saw Kabuto was set back once more.
"What happened in Oto?" she asked.
"Bunch of ninja wearing blue, orange, green and black outfits showed up. They used ice attacks while others used fire. They seemed to come out of nowhere and attacked faster than anyone thought possible." Shikamaru said as he watched the medic tend the wounded.
"One of them injected something in him before anyone could do anything."
Ino was crying, her father had been killed.
"They killed Hatake, actually one of them wearing orange incinerated him in his cell." Shikamaru said. His own father was amongst the wounded.
Shizune shook her head as she looked at the list of dead. Oto was our home and that bastard waltzed in and killed them.
"Jirobo set up an area for me to work." She called to one of the Oto Five. "Ryu, get us some hot water to sterilize bandages and equipment, corral some of the Konoha Genin to help you."
"Yes Lady Shizune!" the taijutsu fighter said as he rushed to do his task. She looked at the Konoha Chunin and Jonin that had survived with the Oto nin and civilians. "Anyone with medical training scrub up, we have a lot of work to do."
I pray to Kami that Lady Tsunade and the others come out of this alright.

(Mt. Omashu)
The top of the mountain had become a war zone. Tsunade kicked any one that came close to Naruto, and it was thankfully only Natas's people as their own managed to keep dragging their battles away from the unconscious Naruto.
Tsunade tried to keep an eye on all the battles at once. She was concerned for her former sensei as he was battling the four-armed monster.
He's surprisingly spry for such an old guy that has been behind the desk for over a decade. Tsunade thought as she watched Hiruzen Sarutobi leap over the right foot monster, grab its shoulders and perform a shoulder throw. She watched as the monster Goro hit one of the pillars, destroying it and she saw her former sensei shift his shoulders.
He shouldn't be here. She thought as age was the one opponent Hiruzen couldn't beat and it was going to make the difference here.

Kimimaro dodged the strange spear and line Scorpion hurled at him. He brought his bone scimitars down on the line, severing it from the spearhead.
The line retracted into the orange and black wearing ninja. Kimimaro spun his blades and looked at Scorpion. "You will die here today."
Scorpion's milky white eyes glared at him. "Already dead, you will join my army." Scorpion said in that hollow voice.
"Not today." Kimimaro said as he moved in, his blade already in motion. Scorpion pulled a broadsword and he two met in a dance of death as bone blades clashed with a steel one.

Temari back flipped away from the knife wielding Kano. "Aw, pretty-pretty it won't hurt for long. You give me a scream and I'll end you right quick."
Temari used her big battle fan and leapt into the air. she hovered in the air and pulled the smaller blade fans and took up her stance once she landed and got some distance between her and Kano.
"Aw, come on luv, you'd think you don't like us."
"Here's your first clue." Temari said as she began to use her fans to make a wind attack.
Kano leapt high and Temari was waiting and altered the jutsu to attack him.
Kano came down in the middle of a small tornado and it ripped him to shreds. "Loser." Temari said as she went to reclaim her large fan.

Haku and Sub Zero were at a stand off. "You are quite skilled young one." Sub-Zero said.
"I've had to learn on my own as there were no other ice users." Haku said.
"Join my clan. We can teach you much."
Haku shook her head. "Sorry, but my clan is Naruto-kun. I will not abandon him for anyone or anything."
"You could be the strongest Hyoton ninja in the world." Sub-Zero said.
"I could, but I believe being wife and mother would be even greater, and the only man that will be my husband is Naruto-kun. In order for that to happen, you must die."
Sub-Zero chuckled as Haku created her ice dome and he found himself looking at mirrors. "This will be your end." Haku said as she stepped into a mirror. Dozens of Haku's appeared and Sub-Zero nodded his head. "Impressive. Most impressive." He said as he began to dodge ice senbon, he would send ice spikes at mirrors only to see them return out another mirror to attack him. He even had to use an ice clone to avoid the attacks. Sub-Zero if he wasn't sworn to the service of Natas would be impressed and do all he could to see that this girl achieved her dreams.

Anko used the snake hand jutsu to separate Sonya and Kitana. She then used a summoning jutsu to summon several snakes to attack Sonya while she attacked Kitana.
"You're the cheap tart that tried to seduce my little brother."
Kitana smirked. "He's cute and powerful. His children could rule worlds."
"Sorry, but you are not on the approved list. He's got four girls no more."
Snake hand jutsu met Kitana's bladed fan, decapitating the serpents.
Anko launched a volley of kunai and rushed the masked princess. This wasn't going to be an easy fight as she saw Sonya using katon jutsu's to remove the summoned snakes.
XX
Gaara and Hinata were too much for Frost and Jade, the two women were nowhere near the level of skill or power needed to stop Gaara alone and with Hinata they were soon put down. The young couple stood over the destroyed servants of Natas. "Gaara-kun…"
"I shall help Anko." He said. Hinata kissed her fingertips and touched his lips. "Hinata!"
Temari joined them. "Your battle anti-climatic as well?"
Hinata nodded. They heard a roar and saw the Hokage was having trouble with the four-armed monster.
"Gaara-kun, you aid the Hokage. Temari and I will go and help Anko." Hinata said.
The fan user snorted. "If she'll let us. You have to admit she does get…"
"Involved." Hinata supplied.
"Sure, let's go with that." Temari said pulling her smaller fans while her big battle fans was strapped to her back.
"Just hope she doesn't attack us with those snakes." Temari muttered jogging away with Hinata. Gaara looked to where the Hokage was and vanished in a sand shunshin.

Jiraiya avoided the chakra nets and cursed as Natas's freak maneuvered him away from the battle further. He's driving me! The Toad sage thought.
Cyrax was being difficult, he was keeping Jiraiya moving and not giving him time to settle in position for any of his own jutsu's. If I could just get in position, I could swallow the little shit in the toad mouth or swamp jutsu. Jiraiya thought at how quickly the freak was at launching those nets.
Cybernetics? Where did Natas find this tech? Its ancient tech. Jirairya thought as he got a better look at Cyrix. None of this is making sense!
Jiraiya cursed as he was flipping around. My old bones can't take this.

Kin and Tayuya found battling Noob and Smoke was difficult. Noob seemed to be made of pure shadow. Smoke lived up to his name as his body seemed to be made of smoke. Kin's needles passed thru Smoke's body. Tayuya's flute was beginning the battle tunes that Naruto had gotten for her and Kin was acting as her guardian, her senbons were her first line of defense, her other weapon, a curved knife was in her hand.
Maybe when we get out of this, I'll take Naruto-kun up on his offer to get me sword training. Kin thought as Smoke and Noob were avoiding her senbon. She shook her head as they avoided them all, apparently not caring about the bells.
Tayuya began the "Dance of the Fireflies" and Kin had to admit the offensive music that Naruto had dug up and traded for added to Tayuya's offensive capabilities.
She was deadly with her genjutsu's and summons…but actual attack music…
Little motes of fire began to form in the air and started to move about like fireflies and surrounded the pair.
Kin turned to look at Tayuya whose fingers danced over the flute's holes and she knew that her friend was surrendering to the music. She'd seen her do that before.
That means I'm all that stands between her and harm until her music spell takes hold. Kin launched more senbon at the freak ninja's, determined to help her out as long as possible.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know how much longer he could hold out against the monster Goro. It was taking every trick he had to avoid Goro's flailing arms and his jutsu that he had time for just rolled off the eight foot monsters lizard like hide.
Hiruzen used Goro as a springboard and leapt into the air. while airborne his hands flew through the seals and he finished as he landed and the ground beneath Goro turned to mud and the beast man sank to its knees.
His breath of relief was cut short as Goro leapt from the mud trap and backhanded him. Hiruzen expected to hit a pillar and closed his eyes expecting it bones to shatter.
He instead hit a pillow. Opening his he saw it wasn't a pillow exactly it was a ton of sand that had caught him. He looked over to see Gaara standing there. "Monster." Gaara intoned. "Your battle is with me now. I am Gaara Sabuku and you shall die by my hand."
Goro let out a roar and charged. Gaara waited, his arms crossed, but the sand around him began to swirl in anticipation.

Orochimaru blocked each swipe, but even now his arms were getting numb as Natas used the Raijin to its fullest potential. While he knew how to use his own blade, Orochimaru knew he wasn't a swords master by any stretch of the word, but he wasn't going to lose to this man who had already taken so much.
He avoided a swipe and lashed out with a kick, Natas took it and grabbed his leg, pinning it to his side.
"Well, well, well. Wonder what happens to a snake when its hit by lightening?"
he held the Raijin against Orochimaru's knee and smirked as the Sannin screamed as he was being electrocuted.
"You, and the others with you will die." Natas said.
He missed the fist coming at his skull mask and when it connected it sent him flying.
Natas slid until he hit the stone alter. Shaking his skull mask he saw Tsunade standing there with her fist where his head had been.
"You ass." She hissed. "You stand between me and my child. Now your going to tell me how to undo that seal, and I'll break every bone in your body or, you don't and I'll break every bone in your body."
Natas stood slowly, his hand on the stone alter using it as support. "Don't you mean to tell you or you'll break my bones?"
"No. I meant what I said. Tell me and I'll break your bones, don't tell me and I'll not only break your bones, but I'll do worse."
Natas held up the Raijin. "Come then last of the Senju clan. Taste the blade of your ancestors."
Tsunade snarled and charged.
