I demand every reader to listen to the third Naruto opening before reading this :P
Thanks to Pyr00tje, Anon and The True Not Important for the reviews!
Feathers started falling.
Baki smirked.
"It's starting."
He then gasped as a kunai was impaled into his abdomen. It was then withdrawn, and the Sand Jonin collapsed to the ground, clutching his new wound. Baki looked up at his assailant. It was the man who was sitting beside him.
The man smirked, tossing the kunai away before tying a Konoha forehead protector onto his forehead. Baki's eyes widened, realizing the man was a shinobi.
"You're coming with me," he said, grabbing the wounded Baki and dragging him away.
"You..." Baki wheezed. "You knew of our invasion?"
There was no answer.
The feathers descended on the audience, and the citizens proceeded to fall asleep.
Kakashi, Tenzo and Guy looked at each other and nodded.
"Release!"
Neji looked at the falling feathers. This... is genjutsu!
"Release!" The Hyuga prodigy got up, and was dismayed to see Lee had already fallen asleep.
Itachi, Fugaku and Mikoto placed their hands in a seal.
"Release."
The Kazekage leaped away from his seat, and his two bodyguards split into four Sound ninja. Hiruzen smiled at the sight.
"So, it's began."
"You knew about this invasion, right from the start, didn't you?" The Kazekage chuckled. "Unfortunately, whether you know about it or not, you are going to die today."
Hiruzen stopped smoking his pipe, tossing it to the ground. "We'll see about that, Orochimaru."
"Hehe... Sarutobi-sensei..." Orochimaru tore off his mask and the Kazekage costume, and faced his old teacher. "So... I was right. Kin told you everything."
Beside Hiruzen, his scarred bodyguard jumped down into the arena. Orochimaru watched in amusement.
"Even your bodyguard deserts you, Sarutobi-sensei," the snake-like man laughed. "What a sight." He turned to his four subordinates. "It is time. Do it."
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama," the four Sound nin said together, jumping onto the roof.
"I'll see you there too, Sarutobi-sensei," Orochimaru hissed, following the four. Hiruzen grunted, and leaped onto the roof as well as the four Sound nin completed their barrier jutsu.
"So you want to fight me alone," Hiruzen tore off his Hokage uniform, revealing his battle suit.
"Yes, that is the plan." Orochimaru smirked.
"Urghhh!"
Gaara reverted back into his human form, and knelt onto the ground. There was a massive headache coming on - the side effects for using the Shukaku's power.
Naruto stared in concern. "Are you okay?"
"I'll see you later... Naruto Uzumaki." Gaara panted, and jumped away, leaving the arena.
"Whuuut?" Naruto turned to Genma, who was giving him a grim smile.
"The Chunin Exams are over. The village is under attack."
Naruto was stumped, but Sasuke and Sakura quickly joined him in the arena.
"An invasion?" Sasuke asked, and Genma nodded.
"Make yourself useful," the examiner said to the three Chunin hopefuls. "Run into the village - there are probably a few hundreds of enemy ninja by now. Take out anyone who isn't from the Leaf."
"Yes, sir!" Team 7 said together, and quickly left.
As they did, the Hokage's scarred bodyguard appeared in the arena.
"Raido," Genma nodded to his comrade, linking hands with him. A circle was formed between the two Special Jonin. "Itachi, Kakashi, Guy, Asuma! We're ready!"
At the call, all four mentioned Jonin jumped down into the arena.
Kakashi jumped into the circle, and disappeared. Next was Itachi, Asuma, then lastly Guy, howling about youth.
"There we go." Raido said, his hands leaving Genma's.
Sound and Sand shinobi piled into the arena.
"Let's hope they're all Chunin-level," Genma said grimly, getting into a fighting stance.
Orochimaru unsheathed his sword.
"So you've got your funeral shroud prepared... hehe... this should be fun."
Hiruzen simply smiled, as four ninjas appeared beside him.
Itachi, Kakashi, Guy and Asuma got into fighting stances.
Orochimaru's eyes widened in genuine surprise.
"The Yondaime's... Hiraishin...! How?"
Thank God Minato-sensei passed on the Hiraishin technique to Genma and Raido, Kakashi thought with a smile.
"Did you really think we would let this annoying barrier stop our youthfulness?!" Guy roared passionately. "I have always wanted to fight one of the Sannin! Orochimaru-san, prepare yourself for my burning youth!"
Itachi closed his eyes. "Mangekyo... Sharingan!"
"Sharingan..." Kakashi lifted his forehead protector.
Asuma got out his blades. "You will die here today, Orochimaru."
"Is that so?" Orochimaru seemingly recovered from his earlier shock, and now had a smirk plastered on his face.
Hiruzen got out his Adamantine Staff.
"Let's see how much you've grown... Orochimaru."
Gaara, Kankuro and Temari stood at the gates of the Hidden Leaf.
"Kankuro, are you okay?" Temari asked.
"Y-Yeah... I'll live," Kankuro nodded. "More importantly, since Gaara can't transform now, we have to get him out of Konoha before anyone captures him. That would be disastrous."
"Let's go..." Gaara nodded, and the Sabaku Siblings rushed through the gates.
Neji emerged from his hiding place in the bushes with a frown on his face.
As he did, Team 7 rushed past him. Swiftly, the Hyuga prodigy grabbed Naruto and Sasuke, catching the team's attention.
Shino, Choji and Shikamaru descended into the arena.
"An invasion... troublesome."
Genma was punched into the wall by a Sound nin.
"Backup?" Raido stared at the three Genin, as he kicked a Sand nin away. "Good, we're outnumbered here. Get to it."
"Troublesome," Shikamaru complained. "... Let's do it."
Sorry for the incredibly short chapter, but a new chapter will definitely be up tomorrow. This was to signify the start of the invasion and it was a bit crappy, but I swear the fight scenes will be a lot better. In the next chapter - Orochimaru versus the Jonin of the Leaf, and Team 7 & Neji confronts the Sabakus. Until next time.
