The Battle Begins
Ah Naruto, Kakashi you two are back from your mission, Tsunade said. Yes, the mission was a success, Kakashi replied. What do you have to report to me, you too Tsunade said as she put her hands under her chin. Enemy Shinobi are amassing on the border Naruto replied, how many Shinobi Tsunade asked? It appears to be five hundred Stone, Cloud, and Sound Shinobi kakashi said as Tsunade looked distraught. Are our allies aware of what is happening Tsunade asked? Yes, while Kakashi and I were on the training trip, we went to our allies and asked for help with what is going on and Gaara will come with his siblings and two hundred Sand Shinobi and the Mizukage will also come with two hundred Shinobi Naruto said as he finished hand signs and summoned two foxes and gave them a letter each and told them to deliver it to Gaara and the Mizukage. When Naruto finished talking to the two foxes, Tsunade called for Bear and Cat telling the two anbu to split all the genin up into two groups so that one group would be able to prepare weapons for war and check medical supplies, and the other group will be able to move the civilians to the safe house. Yes Lady Hokage, was all the two Anbu said before disappearing into thin air,Lady Tsunade then called Rat, yes Lady Hokage how may I be of assistance Rat said, call the Shinobi Council and tell them to meet in the chambers we are preparing for war.
Meanwhile, on the outer part of the fire country, Tsuchikage, Sauske said as he and Kabuto were in a meeting together when a Stone village spy walked into the tent revealing information that the Sand and Mist villages have deployed Shinobi to aid the Leaf village during this war. How far away are those two villages Sauske asked the spy, they are about five days away, and the Sand village troops will be passing this area where we are now by a mile off distance, what would you like us to do the spy asked Sauske? Nothing let them pass they don't need to know of our troop strength until the battle begins, but, we will be keeping a close eye on their movements . Also we will set up a group of a small band of Shinobi to attack the Mist Shinobi while they are on their way to the Leaf, and another small group of Shinobi to capture the Kazekage as part of my plan to drawn that bastard Naruto away from the leaf village. Yes sir,also we will need to gather volunteers for these missions, we will need a group of at least one hundred and fifty for both missions, Sauske said to the spy as he left to gather the troops needed.
As the preparations for the capture of Garra and the attack on the Mist were under way the leader for the mission to capture Garra pulled out a map and showed the mapping of the area where the capture will take place. Saying that there is only one chance to capture him, and that is when they rest for the night and that is when they are to capture Garra and get out without attacking and letting the other sand Shinobi know that they are there while they sleep, as this is an important mission and they can't mess it up. When both squads left for their separate missions they took to the trees quickly. Lord Otokage do you believe this plan of yours will drag out the Uzumaki away from the Leaf Village the Raikage asked? Yes I do the bastard will always go help a friend who is in trouble its one of the things that make him a weak Shinobi Sauske said.
Meanwhile, Gaara and his troops were running through the trees towards the Leaf village as fast as they could to aid their ally. After a few more miles were cleared, Gaara raised his hand to halt his troops so they could take a rest. Unknown to the Sand troops, enemy shinobi spies were hot on their trail. As the Mist shinobi were also speeding towards their ally, the attack by the enemy shinobi was getting set up to attack them. Meanwhile, the spies were still on the Sands trail as night started to fall. They realize that the sand were making better time than what was thought as the ran the entire time after their rest, which meant they were a lot closer to the Leaf than they were suppose to be. The mist also stopped to take a rest as the enemy were keeping close eyes on their targets. The next day, the sand shinobi started to take to the trees as they were rushing towards their ally's village with the enemy shinobi falling into place as it was all or nothing as the sand made it faster to Fire country than was expected. The only thing the sand shinobi saw were sound ninja right before the genjutsu fell into place knocking out the sand shinobis, as soon as the enemy shinobi went out, the sound shinobi captured Gaara and lept off back to their camp with a successful mission accomplished. Meanwhile, the mists side ran into an enemy ambush and were pinned down. Deciding they needed to go on the offense, the Mizukage threw smoke bombs to cover their positions, then they finally retaliated with jutsus of their own. The Mizukage yelled lava style: lava globs jutsu and hit her mark killing an enemy shinobi instantly, the tides were turning as the enemy were falling quickly only for a bomb to be thrown and kill several mist shinobi, but the Mist shinobi weren't going to back down. They finished off the enemy with the heavy battle finished, and they counted their death toll, they took seven shinobi whose bodies were carried to the Leaf. The Mist made it to the Leaf after a few hours they then went to the tower and met with Tsunade to report the attack and loss of shinobi, and the victory won.
When the Sand finally woke up from the genjutsu they realized that Gaara was gone they quickly traveled to the Leaf and made it. As soon as the Leaf and Mist were told Gaara was missing they immediately called for a meeting with all the troops. Shinobi from the Leaf, Mist I Lady Tsunade Hokage of the Leaf am here to inform you that Gaara the Kazekage has been captured. Naruto shot up quickly yelling what do you mean and as soon as he said that a chuckle was heard as Naruto turned he noticed a Stone shinobi standing at the door Naruto walked up to the shinobi and grabbed him by his collar, wheres Gaara Naruto demanded only for the the enemy to say he is with Sauske and if you want to save Gaara come alone for a fight to the death with Sauske. Fine Naruto said as he dropped the enemy only for anbu to capture him and bring him to the torture division. Naruto walked towards the door only for Tsunade to tell him to stop that a plan is needed to save Gaara. Naruto yelled so what I'm suppose to stay here while Gaara could be in danger he yelled again as he started to advance towards the door again only to feel slender arms and a small body hug him around his waist, please Naruto stop we'll come up with a plan I promise Sakura said as tears started to form in her eyes from seeing the man she loves so angry, Sakura get off me you guys don' t understand. As soon as Naruto said that her eyes widened she then started screaming I do understand Naruto please stay let us come up with a plan I won't be able to take it if something happens to you so please stay, fine I'll stay but a plan must start right now as Naruto opened the door and walked out.
