Redemption.
Chapter Eighteen – Fight.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Kushina felt her mark burn even more painfully as an explosion came from the main gates of the village. She looked at her father and Sasuke as they stared at the damage. Naruto glared fiercely as he stood from his chair. "We need to assemble everyone who's not away on missions." Naruto stated seriously. Kushina couldn't help but respect her father. He was a true figure of authority when the time came for it. Sasuke was already gone. Off to assemble the Anbu. Kushina looked at her father, waiting for his orders. "I want you to inform the interrogation squad. Then I want you to fight your hardest." Naruto said to his daughter. Kushina couldn't help but smile as she went to fulfil his wishes. After all, what greater mark of trust was there to a runaway child, then for her father to give her the freedom to protect the home she ran from?
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Itachi and Saiyuri came out of the academy, where they had been helping out for the day, and stared for merely a moment. "Saiyuri, go and tell the teachers to evacuate." Itachi stated seriously. Saiyuri nodded. "I'll be joining you and Kushina afterwards." Saiyuri quipped as she ran inside. Itachi smiled, before he leapt off to find the nearest battle.

Tsunade could see Anbu assembling, and she knew that Naruto and Sasuke knew what was happening. Then she saw Sakura fighting against Kabuto. Tsunade couldn't help smiling as Kabuto tried to land fatal strikes on Sakura using Chakra Scalpel, as Sakura dodged expertly. Soon Sakura was landing her own dangerous blows on the evil medic.

Sai and Ino had already gotten Chouji's wife to evacuate their children to a civilian shelter. After all, Chouji's wife was not a Shinobi. Soon Ino and Sai were fighting back to back, against almost overwhelming amounts of Sound Ninja. "How many of these bastards are there?" Ino yelled as she managed to take down her fifth Shinobi for the day. Sai shrugged. "This is why we should be having more children." Sai stated calmly as he dispatched another Sound Ninja. "You're not the one that pushes them out are you?" Ino quipped as she grabbed one of the Sound Ninja in a headlock and started choking him as she got angrier. "After all, you get all the pleasure of it while I have to go through nine months of pregnancy and several hours of labour, and what do I get for my trouble? A 'well done honey' a pat on the back and maternity leave while you work extra hours!" Ino yelled at Sai. Some of the Sound Ninja were backing away. Ino was a terrifying prospective opponent. Sai just grinned. "You know it is fun really? I mean think about it, you get pleasure too." Sai quipped. Ino's face went bright red with anger as she started going through more Sound Ninja at double the speed. Sai just smirked. "I knew she'd react like that." Sai thought to himself.

Soon, Tsunade found herself face to face with Orochimaru. "So Tsunade how's life been as a widow?" Orochimaru asked callously. Tsunade glared angrily. "About the same as how you'll feel when I detach your balls from your body." Tsunade hissed back. Then she was on the attack. Orochimaru was dodging and Tsunade was ready at any moment to rip him to pieces. That is when she could get her hands on him of course.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Naruto found himself with Sasuke, the pair of them back to back and obviously finishing off their opponents without too much effort. That was when they took note of Nawaki, along with Dan, Sakumo and Mayumi, jumping in to the fray. Obviously all arguments between Dan and Sakumo had been forgotten. Naruto had a feeling of foreboding as he saw a dark cloud gathering over Konoha.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Kushina had alerted the interrogation squad. She found herself running along the streets, looking for anyone obstructing the civilians from evacuation. That was when she took note of a fight going on between Kabuto and Sakura. She glared as Kabuto almost got in a fatal strike. That was when she unsheathed her katana and jumped in between Sakura and Kabuto.
"Kabuto you little bastard! Keep your grubby hands off of my stepmother!" Kushina yelled. Then she charged straight in to the fight. Sakura watched wide eyed as Kushina activated her own chakra scalpel. She had been learning medical ninjutsu from Sakura. Kushina ducked and weaved around Kabuto's strikes, and he ducked and weaved around hers. Sakura watched them move around each other, like they were dancing, in a terrible dance of death.

As soon as Naruto and Sasuke had finished off the troops of Oto Ninjas that they'd been caught up with, they were on their way forwards. Both looking for their loved ones and hoping they were alive in this fray.
As Naruto and Sasuke passed the cemetery, Naruto took note of a fight that shouldn't be happening. At least not in his eyes. Orochimaru was on the attack and Tsunade was dodging, but Naruto knew that Tsunade was getting too old for such a fight. Orochimaru just kept switching bodies. That was when Orochimaru regurgitated Kusanagi, and made a shot for Tsunade's heart. That was when Naruto jumped in the way.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Kushina glared as Kabuto made to strike at her sides. She knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to disable her ovaries, thereby stopping her from producing anymore children. Kushina saw red, and she then used the eight trigram three hundred and sixty-one palms on Kabuto. Then as he was lying there, coughing up blood she picked up her previously discarded katana, sheathed it, and then activated her Blood Byakugan.
Sakura watched in horror as Kabuto started writhing on the ground, and Kushina carried on staring at him. Then Kabuto started screaming horribly, and finally he slumped in to unconsciousness. Sakura wasn't sure what to say to Kushina. "That's why I never usually show the Blood Byakugan outside of the interrogation squad building." Kushina whispered softly. Sakura placed an arm around her shoulders and hugged her gently. Kushina swallowed nervously and looked at Kabuto. "He won't wake up for a long time. I have to free him from his unconscious state. I'm not going to do that until he's locked up in an Anbu interrogation cell." Kushina stated. Sakura nodded and the pair left the scene, leaving Kabuto to lie in the dirt.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Naruto had jumped in front of Tsunade and taken a Kusanagi through his chest. Sasuke and Tsunade both stared in horror. That was when the pair of them heard a horrified scream. They turned to see Kushina and Sakura had arrived. It was Kushina who had screamed. She was shaking as she saw her father impaled on Orochimaru's sword.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Itachi, Saiyuri, Sakumo, Dan, Mayumi and Nawaki found themselves near the cemetery. That was when they heard an anguished scream. The group rushed towards the sound, only to find themselves staring at the impaled body of their Hokage, and Kushina had dropped to the ground on her knees. Nawaki felt sick to his stomach. After all, he had already seen his father die the same way. Tsunade looked grief stricken at the sight. Mayumi, Dan and Sakumo all shook in terror at the sight of their Sensei in such danger.
Sasuke was about to jump in to action and finish Orochimaru once and for all, but he didn't get the chance. Before he could get over his shock and move, he saw a flash of pink race ahead of him. Sakura pulled at Orochimaru's tongue, then used chakra scalpel to cut right through the disgustingly long organ. Orochimaru broke away, gushes of blood leaking from his mouth. He howled angrily, as he attempted to stop the bleeding.
Sakura glared hatefully as she rushed to carry on the attack. Everyone watched on as Sakura landed the hits that Tsunade had been unable to. Sakura seemed to be a force to be reckoned with as she carried on beating Orochimaru to a bloody pulp. Of course Orochimaru fought back, but to Sakura, his hits seemed to be ineffectual. Soon Sakura's fury had Orochimaru backed in to a corner. She raised her chakra infused fist and the whole group could practically feel the power within it. They knew this would be the end for the snake Sannin.
