Alright, its the fourth chapter and it might have a bit of angst in it so you are warned. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, favorited, and alerted throughout the story so thanks.
Chapter Five
Sarutobi along with his four students were rushing towards Konoha, but they still had a ways to go yet. With Jirayia on his back still knocked out. He instructed his three remaining students to channel chakra into their feet, so they would move twice as fast. Even though they were making impressive timing, Sarutobi couldn't stop thinking about the worse.
" Sarutobi-sensei, when we get to the village, what are we gonna do?" Asked Naruto.
" Well I will try to hold the enemy back, but you four will help the villagers get to safety."
" What will we do if we encounter an enemy?"
" Do whatever it takes to get the citizens away from harm." They nodded in response. Sarutobi felt Jirayia starting to wake up on his back. He stopped and let her off as she stumbled to her feet.
" Uh... whats going on here?"
" Well explain on the way, were going back to Konoha." They nodded and continued to follow their sensei. As they were still moving Naruto and Tsunade told Jirayia everything that happened. When they got within the Fire Country, they could see a huge cloud of smoke about five miles from where they were, in the direction of Konoha.
" Come on, move faster!" Shouted Sarutobi as they sped up. Within thirty minutes, of running as fast as they could, they were all out of breath but could see the Konoha gate. The gate was set on fire, and they could see two lumps on the ground. They went to check on them and found them dead. They were the gate guards.
" Alright team, split into two teams, Naruto and Tsunade, and Jirayia and Orochi."
" Where are you gonna go sensei?" Asked Jirayia.
" I'm gonna go to the Hokage tower, to check on the Hokage. Alright, lets go." They split into their teams.
With Orochi and Jirayia...
They were traveling from the rooftops to see if they could find anyone. Just then they heard a cry. They looked over to see an academy student around the age of eight with numerous kunai and shuriken in him as he was bleeding severely from numerous wounds. He looked like he was gonna die. Then Jirayia, without thinking jumped in front of the small boy. She looked over at two Jonins who had a smirk on their faces. One of them just merely got his hand on his katana and ran towards her ready to kill her. Orochi jumped from the roofs and drew her Kusanagi and stabbed the man through his chest, effectively killing him. Jirayia looked shocked at Orochi.
" That was the sword Chika had in Kumogakure."
" Yes, and if you tell anyone about it, I will kill you." Jirayia just shuddered and nodded. The other Kumo Jonin charged at Jirayia and Orochi. They split up, jumping on the a roof, the opposite from each other. The Jonin went after Orochi who ran away from him on the roof. While they were jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Jirayia followed on the opposite side. The Jonin threw a couple of shuriken at Orochi and did the hand signs. " Kage Shuriken no Jutsu." The few shuriken turned into about twenty and all flew at Orochi. Jirayia threw some of her shuriken at the cloned ones and deflected them. Some of the shuriken struck Orochi in the left are, making it go limp. Orochi snarled in pain, but then, with her right arm took out a kunai with an explosive tag wrapped around it and threw ahead of her. When they passed it, it exploded making the roof of the building collapsed. As the Jonin fell, Orochi took her long tongue and wrapped it around the man's neck, breaking it and let his body go limp. She drooped him to the ground, and her and Jirayia went to go back to the child they saw before.
With Sarutobi...
Sarutobi was running in a secluded part of Konoha that was hidden. He was rushing towards the Hokage tower, which looked like it was attacked. There were numerous holes in the tower, and it was set on fire. He rushed towards it and busted through the decaying door. He saw bodies lying everywhere, some of them were burning. He ran up the stairs which were ready to collapse. He got up to the Hokage's office and saw that the secretary was dead. He got worried and went through the Hokage's giant door, to only find it destroyed with blood splattered everywhere. He hears a groan from behind the Hokage's desk to find the Shodaime. He had some mortal wounds and was suffering from blood loss and chakra depletion.
" Ugh..Sarutobi-kun, there you are...ugh." He was clearly in pain and dying.
"Hokage-sama, what happened?"
" They came out of nowhere, we took out most of them and most retreated. I want to name my ni-san as the next Hokage."
" Don't say that...your going to survive." Sarutobi tried to but on his best smile.
" Sarutobi, I'm dying, I can..feel it, I'm sorry for failing this village." And with that, he closed his eyes, only to be never opened again. Sarutobi could feel his tears rolling down his eyes.
With Naruto and Tsunade...
Naruto and Tsunade were looking through the whole village, they found nobody on the streets, except for corpses. It seemed that the whole village had been evacuated, there wasn't anyone around. Then, all of the sudden, Naruto's seal started to burn and he felt an immense pain where it was. He knelt down clutching his stomach in pain, threatening to throw up. Tsunade knelt down to see if he was alright. She felt a shadow behind her and Naruto looked up. There he saw an old man with long black hair staring at him. Tsunade got up and bowed.
" Hello Uchiha-sama." After he heard that, he passed out.
Naruto was opening up his eyes to a white ceiling and bright lights. He realized it was the hospital and he got up. He looked and saw Jirayia next to him siting in th chair next to him. She saw him and immediately grinned.
" Naruto-kun, your up!"
" Yea, what did I miss?"
" Well... Hokage-sama died during the attack, and the funeral is today, in memory of everyone." He nodded and got up.
" What happened to me?"
" I don't know, you just passed out all of the sudden and we brought you here." She handed him some black formal clothes. " This was if you woke up today. He nodded and got changed in the bathroom. He and Jirayia left and on the way they saw Tsunade crying and asked her if she wanted to come with them. She nodded and they went to the ceremony. Naruto looked around and saw Sarutobi in the front row, and Orochi was hiding in the shadows. During the ceremony, Sarutobi spoked, the Shodaime's brother, and other members of Konoha. After it, everyone went home and he saw Tsunade crying near a lake. Naruto went up and sat next to her and she passed him a glance and continued to stare off into nothing.
" I understand how you feel, a while ago I lost someone who I thought of as my grandfather. It might not be exactly the same because he was your grandfather but it still hurt a lot." Tsunade got up and started to leave, she looked back at Naruto.
" I don't want to sound rude, but it would be better for me to grieve alone so bye." Naruto nodded and just stared at the spot where she was standing.
Ok I finished another Chapter, it was shorter and I did rush it a little and I'm not that good at writing Angst so yeah. The other chapters will be better so keep reading.
