Sigh Life has been really giving me a nice ass kicking. Boredom, lack of inspiration, and an all around grey sky in my world has made it hard to type, but now, there's a sun in my day, and it's name is TALES OF THE ABYSS!!! My friend got the recent Tales Game, and I'm happy! So now, without further ado, welcome to Chapter 10!!!!

Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto still contines to stop my plans of Naruto World Domination, so now, I've waged war! Sadly, my minions are on their breaks. BASTARDS!!!

Chapter 10: Sound Assault. Orochimaru vs. Gatto.

(Sand Village)

It had been 2 weeks since the last chapter. Hinata was now stronger, even though her Byakugan was gone, thanks to Satoshi. Lee and Tyson fully recovered from their fights, and Naruto and Temari were said to be an item. (At hearing this, Satoshi smiled and did the peace sign)

Satoshi was wandering around the Sand Village when he thought he saw a flash of movement. He then pulled out a small scroll, and summoned a set of nunchaku. At a incredibly fast pace, he swung his nunchaku and crushed the skull of his pursuer. (Yeah! Still got it!) Satoshi thought to himself, giving himself a mental pat on the back. "Help your ego later. That was a Sound Nin!" Gatto replied,causing Satoshi to have a stunned look, and give the dead nin a look over.

He looked him over and was surprised to see a sound Headband. He then saw a piece of paper that caught his attention. He read the paper, and immediately had a look of extreme fear, and took off to find Naruto, Hinata, and the Sand 3.

He was relieved they were all in the Kazekage's Tower, but ran to them and screamed. "WE NEED TO HURRY TO KONOHA!!! SOUND IS PLANNING ON ATTACKING!!!!!" Everyone had looks of concern and fear.

(Konoha)

And like Satoshi said, Sound had indeed attacked Konoha. The children were being ushered to the safe areas, while all nin deemed capable were fighting the good fight. Shikamaru, general of sorts, told Sasuke, and Sakura to help Iruka guard the Academy, since children were there. Tenten, Lee, and Neji were told to help with the evacuation. Ino, Reimi, Kiba, Shino, and Chouji were helping him at the front, along with the various Jounins and Jiraiya, being led by Arashi. Tsunade was helping the evacuation as well.

Over at the Academy, they were holding their ground, but they were getting tired. "Sasuke, how are you and Iruka doing?" Sakura asked, panting. She had been using a few healing Jutsus, and they were taking their toll. "I'm good so far. Iruka seems to be slowing down a little. They won't stop attacking!" Sasuke said, his Sharingan helping him not get hit as many times. Him and Iruka had killed at least 30 Sound nins, and they weren't slowing down. The Sound kept the assault going, until they were being beaten down by about 50 Shadow Clones. "NARUTO!!! You're back!!!" Sakura said. "Looks like the dobe decided to come back." Sasuke said, his smirk still holding. "Can it, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said, standing next to his friends. "Come on. You're not getting past us! Your all dead!!!" Naruto screamed.

The Evacuation was proceeding pretty well, considering they were defending the villagers as well. Lee was zipping by, as he was defeating foes here and there. Tenten was throwing various weapons, sometimes impaling people, sometimes hitting in their hearts. Neji was using his Jyuuken style to immobilize his opponents, striking their vitals, and killing them. Then a fireball zipped past Neji's head, hitting one of the sound nins square in the face, killing them instantly. They turned around, and saw Kasumi sniping random people with her fire jutsus. They continued to fight the good fight, until a Sand Tube surrounded those being evacuated, stating that Gaara was nearby. He slowly walked in, sensed that all those being evacuated were safe, and put his sand to use by killing Sound Nins.

At the front it was pretty heated. Tyson, and the other Jounins were fighting a losing battle. They were being over run. That is, until Tyson decided enough was enough. He threw his jacket at one of the Sound, killing him with the sheer force and weight of the jacket. He then released the Seals of Fire and The Fighter. His flames roared dangerously, and his muscles began bulging. He let out a battle cry, and charged his foes. He jumped kicked one, sending him thorough a wall. He then blocked the punches coming at them, and scared the hell out of them by catching a fist, and breaking their hand with his bare palms. He smirked, and continued the carnage.

After a while, Temari and Kankuro joined them and they began making ground. The battle was raging intensely, until they heard a loud maniacal laugh. They all turned to see Orochimaru standing over Arashi Uzumaki. He seemed to be unconscious. "NOOO, what have you done to my father!?!?!" Naruto screamed, panic in his voice. He didn't see the people coming at him, but he turned around in time to see Zabuza's Sword cutting through someone. He didn't see Zabuza though, he saw a young man wielding this mighty blade.

In the distance, he saw Zabuza, along with Haku and a girl that looked to be his age. Zabuza took off to where Kakashi was, and the girl left to help Neji and his team. "HAKU!?!? How are you here!?" Naruto asked. "Well, your Sensei's attack put me and Zabuza into a coma instead of killing us. I realized that I also had two twins along with myself. The one with the sword is my older twin Hikaru. The girl that ran off is Riku." Haku said, putting up a Ice Mirror and causing the man's fist to be broken in the ice. They then brought their attention back to Orochimaru.

"Now, seeing that the great Yondaime-Hokage has fallen by my power (though he was drugged) I will begin to claim this land as mine!" Orochimaru screamed sadistically. "Not on my watch!!!" A young man in a black hoodie said. They recognized the flames going along the bottom of the shirt, and the lightning bolt along the back. "You and I have a score to settle!" The hooded man said. "Ah, if it isn't my demon friend. You don't think you can defeat me, do you?" Orochimaru asked.

"If I set the situation to my favor, I can kill you!" He said glaring with orange eyes. "Are you crazy Satoshi!? You will die!" Shikamaru said, before Satoshi sighed. "I know what I am doing." Satoshi said. "Oh really? Like some weak loser can hope to best the Snake Sannin!" Orochimaru said, knowing he was pushing Satoshi's buttons. "And that punk cat demon is not even a threat." "That's IT!!!" Satoshi screamed, his chakra power and killer intent rising.

Satoshi was walking in what looked like a jail before he came to Gatto in human form. "Hey, are we gonna let that bastard Orochimaru down talk us!?" Satoshi said. "No Mew. I am just glad you have come to me. Now, am I allowed to go crazy for a while?" Gatto asked. "Yeah, but you know the drill. Now, take over and show him that you are the best!" Satoshi said.

Satoshi began powering up. He was becoming stronger than he normally was. His Tarogan activated while he was getting stronger, and the 2 bangs that were on his face came undone, covering his face when he screamed.

When the dust cleared, He was in Spark form, but he had a tail coming out from behind, and though his hair was covering his face, his Tarogan was peering through his left eye. "Now fool, how about we dance?" Satoshi said, his voice having a hint of Gatto in it. In a flash, he was in front of Orochimaru and they stared each other down.

They then noticed that and some Ice Mirrors began to form and surround them. "This is good. Now it's just you and me!" Satoshi said. He then proceeded to giving the mirror a nice punch, blood coming from his hand. "And sturdy too. This is awesome!" Satoshi said, his hand instantly healing.

Satoshi charged Orochimaru, and fists were thrown in speeds that were amazing. He jumped back and landed a nice kick that sent Orochimaru into the Ice giving him the shock of his life. "Oh, I rigged the Ice to shock whoever touches it when I punched it." Satoshi said. Orochimaru laughed, and caught Satoshi with the Shadow Snakes, and hit him in his legs with a few senbon needles. Satoshi pulled out a scroll, and summoned a Naginata.

"Your scrolls are always prepared, aren't they?" Orochimaru asked. "Of course. A true fighter never goes anywhere unprepared!" Satoshi said, making hand signs and creating 5 more of them. By that time, he unclogged his Tenketsus in his leg and put two in each hand, and one in his mouth. He charged, unaware of the outcome of this fight.

"What's going on? How is Satoshi doing?" Naruto asked. "I don't know if he can win." "I agree kit. Even though Gatto is strong, I'm not sure he can handle this kind of power!" Kyuubi said. Satoshi, to say the least, was giving Orochimaru a run for his money.

Even though it looks like he was swinging wildly, his attacks were well planned, and were close. Orochimaru did some hand signs and clapped, chakra coming out of his hands like 2 blades. He used his hands to block the Naginatas, and cut Satoshi a few times. "Gatto, come on! We have to win!" Satoshi screamed to his possessed self. "I know!" He replied, getting kicked and punched into the wall. Orochimaru did a few quick hand signs, and a evil power could be felt. Orochimaru threw the ball, and it turned into a beam in the shape of a snake. Satoshi was hit, dead on.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" Satoshi screamed, pain from both the Shadow Snake Beam, and the electricity of the Ice due to him powering down. Then the Ice broke, and he crashed through it, unconscious, blood coming from his mouth, and a big dark burn on his stomach. He fell off the Hokage's Mountain, and was caught by Gaara's Sand. (He isn't as strong as last time. If I don't handle him, he may be able to kill me. My 4 Notes of Death will be needed.) Orochimaru thought to himself, disappearing into the shadows. His whole army took that as a retreat, and they backed off as well.

Gaara caught Satoshi just before he hit the ground. "Damn!! Satoshi got beat up bad!!!" Tyson said, checking on his friend. He had small cuts from going through the Ice, but he had a big black mark on his stomach, a nice sword wound, and his chakra was barely there. His goggles were even broken.

"Lee, go get Tsunade and Shizune! He needs serious help!" Sakura said. Lee saluted, and disappeared in a flash. "Kaji-kun! What happened!? Orochimaru did this to you!?" Kasumi asked. Out in the distance, a girl was walking up towards them. "Hinata!?!?" Kiba screamed. She was wearing the clothes Satoshi got her, and looked like she was in a fight. "Kiba!!" Hinata said, waving.

"Where were you!?" Kiba screamed. "There were some people tracking us. I dealt with them." Hinata said, until she realized the situation. "What happened?" Hinata asked. "Satoshi started a fight with Orochimaru, and got his ass kicked." Kiba said. Reimi came to his side and leaned on his shoulder, tired. Hinata, with fear on her face, ran over to the Sand holding Satoshi. "Hey Hinata. You came at a bad time. Satoshi was blasted to oblivion." Sakura said.

"Satoshi-kun…You said you wouldn't get yourself in trouble…" Hinata said. "What makes it worse is he looks like he is in a coma." Sakura said, sorrow in her voice. Everyone had feared looks. (Hey, baka fox, what is a coma?) Naruto asked his demon half. Naruto could feelthe sweatdrop that Kyuubi made. "Baka!! It means he is alive, but in a serious state of sleep." Kyuubi said. Lee appeared, saying Tsunade and Shizune told him to tell her to take Satoshi to the Tower. Nodding, Gaara used his Sand Coffin to pick Satoshi up, and they walked to the tower.

Once things were set up in the Hokage's Tower, Tsunade called a meeting with all the nins. "It seems Orochimaru has pulled back for a strange reason. But we will not bother ourselves with it. We will take the time to rebuild Konoha, and get all the damages taken care of. Sadly, Satoshi has fallen into a coma after valiantly fighting against Orochimaru. We will do all we can to bring him back!" Tsunade said, dismissing everyone.

"Hinata, it's great to know that you are okay, but where were you guys staying at?" Neji asked. "We stayed in The Sand Village. We found out about the invasion 2 days before they came. I'm glad there were few casualties!" Hinata said. "But now, Satoshi is in trouble. Once he comes out of his coma, he will have to deal with the Hyuugas." Neji said. He had no doubt Satoshi would break through the coma, he just wondered about the time after he is free.

ShadowRonin: That would be Chapter 10 folks! I guess even Satoshi can't win all his battles.

Satoshi: I'm in a Coma!?!? That's not cool!

ShadowRonin: Suck it up soldier! You shouldn't have picked a fight with Orochimaru. You're strong, but not THAT strong!

Satoshi: ...Okay, I'll accept that point, but COME ON!! I didn't even do much damage to the guy!

ShadowRonin: He's a Sannin for a reason! Not exactly someone like Izumo or Kotetsu! He's STRONG!! I don't like him anymore that you do, but he is a SANNIN!!! He won't die in a fight that would take a overconfident fool. Let me put it like this. He was using about 15 out of 100 of his true power.

Satoshi: Fine, I accept defeat this time, but I'll win next time!! (Thrusts fist into the air.)

ShadowRonin: ...Right. Well, Review, because that's the nice thing to do! Or merely read, letting me know that people actually care to read my lone story.
