Konoha High: Soon to be War
Chapter 4: Hell's Gates
A/N: I would like to thank everyone for their support and would like to say I am sorry for the wait.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nor do I want to, too troublesome.
***** Story Start
As the trucks were on their way, Naruto couldn't help but look out the flap on the rear of the truck, there were so many frantic people, as he looked up fighter jets and bombers looked to be flying toward the border, looking up toward the highway, he saw hundreds upon hundreds of trucks all probably loaded to the brim with men, weapons, ammo, and things like that, but that wasn't all. Tanks and self-guided artillery were on flat beds Humvees, and APC's driving right along with them, same for the fuel trucks and other such vehicles. Naruto sighed; this war was going to drag on.
Naruto then looked over the men that they had today and wondered how many wouldn't be able to come home. How young were some of these guys, not that he was old himself but still. War, something that every little boy had played and pretended to be a soldier, well that was one thing and Naruto doubted that any of those kids would be as happy headed to the real deal.
The man next to him looked scared, well hell, they all were, and Naruto knew it, but what was he; a mere man, supposed to do, he was just as frightened. Death was a scary thing that he would be dealing with, and killing wasn't really something everyone looks forward too, but he had his orders and he was to show no mercy. It wouldn't be long now; Naruto thought as they were driving passed many military grade fences and the like. When the truck came to a halt Naruto jumped out and ran up to the second truck in line and dropped the hatch and with the help of Kiba when he ran over, they started unloading crates and boxes, a few other men ran over and started to pry open the boxes and continued to move on to other boxes. Everyone was grabbing their weapons when Naruto was approached by one of the men.
"The crate over there I believe has your equipment sir." The man called, then led Naruto over to the box and showed him what he meant. Side by side were two M249 PARA machine guns and next to them were two M240B.
Naruto picked up one of the PARA's and loaded it, and turned the safety on, he motioned for Gaara, and the others to grab their weapons, as the three others grabbed their gear.
"Easy Company, Attention!" Gaara called out.
Everyone that was in Easy Company formed up.
Gaara slid in front of them and also stood at attention, Naruto walked in front of them without his helmet which was under his arm. "Listen up everyone, now that we are at war and one that we have prepared for I just need to say a few short words ... Be careful, listen to your gut, and watch each other's backs. This is not a game … Now let's go kick some ass."
"OO RAAA!" They yelled out, and started heading for the Blackhawks. As they all climbed aboard their designated Blackhawks, one pilot ran over to Naruto and Gaara.
"Sir I will be your personal pilot from here on out, my Blackhawk has been especially prepared for a shit-storm so we will be landing first and unloading you guys." Naruto nodded his thanks and started toward the Helicopter. "However Sir we have a small problem we have a little bit of an overload on extra equipment, in other words we need someone to volunteer to go on a different heli."
In the end Naruto had volunteered to ride on another helicopter and now they were all headed out. Naruto had fallen asleep on the ride to the school.
Naruto was awakened by screaming and loud beeping going off in the helicopter, "RPGG!" The co-pilot screamed as the device slammed into the rear of the helicopter, more noises. Then the helicopter whirled around a twice before righting itself, during all of this Naruto saw that only one other helicopter had landed and it was unloading Gaara and the others, the other helicopters were behind his and not taking as much fire. The helicopter then stopped all momentum and plummeted to the ground. Not even two seconds had even passed, they smashed into the ground.
Gaara had watched the tail of smoke coming out of an RPG and watched it fly towards Naruto's Helicopter. He then watched in fright as the Helicopter twirled and the fall out of the sky. The crash was not a pretty sight as the wreckage burst into flames from the blown fuel lines which ignited and roared into an inferno. It was a fire ball for sure and there was nothing that he could do. He and the other two juggernauts returned fire as they started walking towards the school building; it was a medium sized two story building that had some windows blown out here and there. The building itself was surrounded by fields besides to the North which was closer to the forest, however it was also fenced in so kids didn't wander away.
Gaara was returning fire when he noticed tracer rounds start to fly from the wreckage of the crashed Helicopter that only meant Naruto was alive and probably pissed off now.
Naruto had just witnessed the first casualties of the war, the two pilots of his helicopter we obviously deceased, but he could mourn for them after the job was done. He started off by climbing from the wreckage, even though it was on fire. The heat alone was bothering the crap out of Naruto and the fall from the sky hadn't felt all that great. However his training kicked in and told him to resist the urge to shout from the pain he was feeling. He grunted as he threw the door open and climbed out, and was happy that the strap to his gun hadn't melted and started returning fire knowing full well that the other Helicopters were going to hang back until some of the ground fire was taken care of.
It must have been one frightening sight for the enemy forces as they had all started yelling and pointing in his direction, the gun fire had also decreased, but as he escaped the inferno and started to shoot his own gun they returned fire immediately especially at him.
As Naruto had joined up with Gaara and the other two juggs, they continued forward Gaara and Lee would head through the Cafeteria, as Naruto and Ami would make their way through the classrooms one by one. Naruto and Ami were interchanging who was on point, it was several rooms later when it was Naruto's turn to enter first he heard a few hushed whispers before he entered the room. When Naruto kicked the door in a very bright flash blinded him temporarily then he felt a force press into his chest and it was pushing him back, until he crashed into the wall opposite of the door he kicked in. It was then that he heard gunfire, it didn't last long, and when it finished over his radio Ami's voice cracked over the mic.
"Sir, are you, ok?"
"Mmmm, I'm good." Naruto responded as he started to get his vision back. He moved a little and felt a small weight land in his lap, he looked down to see and RPG-7 rocket, he squinted and then looked up, he put the pieces together and realized he was just shoot point blank with a rocket launcher.
A new voice kicked over the mic, "Sir we have found the hatch to the roof; should we proceed and eliminate the enemy forces on the roof?" It was Lee.
"No hold position and wait for us, you are still in the cafeteria correct?" Naruto responded.
"Yes Sir, the enemy that was previously in the gym is swarming our position."
"Ami we are double timing it to the cafeteria and we are going up to the roof." Naruto called out to the one that he was with. As they ran the gunfire that was coming from the cafeteria was intense. When entering the room it could be seen that there was one primary door being used to enter the room a side door to the gym. Naruto also noticed that there was a small what looked like a closet door next to Gaara and Lee.
As Naruto made his way over to the two Ami was right behind him and firing away. When he arrived he looked for Gaara for confirmation as he pointed toward the door. Naruto opened the door and proceeded up the stairs to find another door. Naruto kicked the door in and threw a flash bang which rolled next to the combatants the detonation had the desired effect as Naruto swung his gun around and started to fire.
Down below Gaara, Ami and Lee were all covering the door and taking out any enemies that dared charge the room from now both doors. However in a split second Gaara and Ami were both reloading their respective weapons when a soldier came through the same door Naruto and Ami just had and he was aiming an RPG. Lee got the first shot off, before he himself ran out of ammunition, the bullet however hit the man in the shoulder, which through off his aim, the explosive round flew at them but high. The following explosion rendered a huge hole in the ceiling and pieces were still coming down.
Back up above after Naruto had just cleared out all the Iwa soldiers he was making his way back toward the stairs when he started to shake and then had the floor start to collapse under him, he started to run but he was too slow in the suit to out run the crumbling effect, and he fell straight down with the pile of rubble as Naruto landed he felt dizzy but had noticed that a grenade had rolled out of his belt and stopped in the door way to the gym. Still lying in the rubble Naruto pulled his secondary weapon his silenced M11-A1 SIG pistol, and he shot.
The bullet hit low; Naruto again took aim and fired this time the explosion blow the door well to pieces which then crumbled down upon itself.
However now Naruto was in a pickle, his suit had taken so much damage from the fall the metal plates were stuck together near in the knees.
'Well this sucks first day with this new gear and I've already broke it.' "Anyone wanna help me out of this shit."
Ami and Gaara were beside him in a second; Lee was returning fire standing nearby. He was grabbed by some of his straps and was being pulled backwards as Lee stepped closer; Naruto was also returning fire with his side arm.
All in all it took a few moments but Naruto was free of his leg straps and they were working on his helmet and shoulder straps and guards. However one of the straps was broken closed, Gaara raised his own side arm his Glock 19, and fired the clasp broke to pieces but Ami stared in complete shock that he just shot his own team member. They continued until he was finally free of his broken suit.
Naruto grabbed Gaara's side arm and stood up and dual wielded as moved toward the only door that was still open, both Lee and Ami were stunned as he charged the enemy and brutally shot them at close range as he paid no mind to getting shot at. He waved them forward and the others just charged forward as fast as they could.
***** Outside the school
The rest of the Helicopters were landing after witnessing the roof collapse under one of their own. All the men were scrambling toward the school. The door was already broken in and the reception area looked like a mess as bullet holes caked into the walls and the nearby furniture, Kakashi called into his mic to everyone present. "Green HUD tags are friendlies, Green on Green will not be tolerated, enemies will show a Blue HUD Identification, All unknowns will be a Yellow and they will be dealt with accordingly, you understand Naruto and Gaara."
"Roger that Kaka-sensei." Naruto's voice sounded, "However, my suit is toast and I'm not flying my HUD Green beacons are needed. Turning mine on, over and out."
"Kakashi sir, most rooms are cleared we are moving forward to the gym, unsure how secure this building is at the current moment, no roof over the cafeteria, and I'm pretty sure there is other infrastructure damage as well, the enemy has been fight ferociously with everything that they can, do not expect this to be a cake walk, Gaara out."
Kakashi sighed "Bravo and Delta follow me; Alpha and Charlie secure a perimeter, Kiba you're on point. Move out. As the groups spread out and readied themselves they pushed themselves through room after room looking for any signs of life.
***** With Naruto
Naruto and the rest of the group made it to the gym, however instead of being shot at like they thought they were going to be the came up to the now smaller group of men. They apparently all wanted to surrender. "Well what's up with this shit, for fucks sake."
"Sir what should we do?" Ami asked not quite sure.
Gaara looked over at Naruto also awaiting an answer Lee stood near the door in case of a sneak attack. "We have no room for them, and a direct order from our leader, we are to show no mercy as consequences of openly declaring war against us, switch 'em off."
"Sir this seems unethical." Ami was going to argue.
"This is war Ethics and proper etiquette were blown to shit as soon as these morons stepped onto our soil." Gaara responded, "Remember chain of command, I really don't want to restrain you for treason, so keep that in mind when a superior gives you an order next time and you think that it may be wrong, with due cause, but these scum don't deserve your sympathy."
"If we are done I said we switch them off and now, it's not like I really want to blow the brains to kingdom come." With that said they three opened fire and killed all the men that were standing in front of them. "Ami take your helmet off." She complied "don't think too much about it." No sooner did those words leave his mouth then she threw up all over the floor in front of her.
Unbeknownst by the small group one man had hid himself away and took that time to jump out and fire at Naruto. When Naruto didn't fall to the ground like he thought he would and then stare blankly at him he continued to fire at Naruto. It was Ami that responded first and raised her own SIG M11-A1 and shot the man.
"Sir, how are you still alive?" Ami managed to muffle out.
Naruto looked at her confused, surely she had been briefed upon her team members or at least her superiors, that fact she didn't know anything about him undergoing the SS testing was insane to him. As Naruto was going to comment on said question and how it revealed that his team had not all had been brought up to speed, the group was interrupted as the rest of the squadron entered the room.
Kakashi stepped forward, it seems enemy presence has been destroyed. Casualty report, besides the two pilots, run twisted his ankle; he will be set to the nearest med-cross station and will be provided for, he then will go on to becoming security there, however now we are down a communications runner.
"Sir over the radio it was said that the team that headed for the hospital are taking a beating she we go hot pursuit and help out."
Kakashi looked around for a second, "Gaara, Naruto you'll be heading there choose your team of five and clear it out Ami and Lee we need you here in case the enemy tries a counter attack."
MM here saying cliffy and till next time peace out.
