It was a nightmare. People screamed and ran for their lives trying to get away. The fires raged around Konoha as the village was invaded by multiple people. People that couldn't be identified. Civilians and shinobi alike started to meet their end while all of Konoha's forces tried to stop the threat. Naruto and his group had begun their assault and it only seemed to thrill them all even more at hearing the screams of everyone in the village. Naruto was on top of a hill looking down at Konoha with a menacing glare which made his red eyes stand out even more. Next to him was Shizune who had the biggest demon grin across her face.
"They all seem to be having fun," Shizune said watching everyone work. Naruto nodded with a grin and slowly pulled out his sword.
"And to think it only took eleven minutes to turn something peaceful into this," Naruto returned making Shizune nod. They did work fast and it was always human nature to run scared first and think about it second. That's what made it all the more fun for them.
Flashback
"Alright is everyone ready?" Naruto asked. Everyone nodded and were about to go, but Naruto and Shizune stopped them.
"Remember, we aren't going to destroy Konoha just yet. No, that happens when me, Shizune, Jiraiya and Yuugao get back in two years," Naruto said nearly startling everyone. They all widened their eyes when they heard that news and were about to ask why, but didn't since Naruto stopped them.
"Don't worry. It's simply to...tie up some lose ends first. That's all and in this one. Me and Shizune won't be participating," Naruto said again shocking everyone.
"Then what are we supposed to do?" Anko asked while the others nodded with the same question. Naruto looked at the village for a bit and smiled.
"Have fun. Do anyway you want. Now then, ladies and gentlemen it's time to have some fun," Naruto said as he grabbed Shizune and the two disappeared. Everyone else sighed before unhenging their fox features and turned towards the village.
"You know, if you told me I'd betray Konoha, bring its civilians to chaos, and become a hanyou I'd have put you under an a powerful genjutsu then administer you to Ibiki for a mind check," Kurenai said to them. Everyone chuckled, but nodded as Tsunade and Fu went back to the Hokage mansion as was the plan. Everyone else dashed off in pairs towards an unsuspecting Konoha.
With Anko and Kurenai
Both jonin came into a populated area of Konoha and it thrilled them that their fox features made them almost unrecognizable except if you knew the person very well. It was enough to fool any unsuspecting person.
"Well then Nai-chan, shall we begin?" Anko asked making Kurenai lick her lips before nodding.
"Let's Anko," Kurenai said walking into a random bar and sat at a table while Anko walked into a separate bar. Kurenai took a glass of water into her lips and sighed when she felt the glares of some scruffy guys on her. No sooner than that did the same guys come over and sat in front of Kurenai.
"Hey pretty lady, wanna keep us company," the man asked. Kurenai grinned before finishing her water and licking her lips. Kurenai turned to the man and gave him a sultry smile.
"Only if you'll do me one favor," Kurenai said shocking the guys, but not knowing any better they all answered with perverted smiles.
"Yes miss, what would you like us to do?" He asked. Kurenai gave an innocent smile and all the guys smiled with her, but the one closest to her widened his eyes when he looked down. He felt a pain in his stomach and the sight terrified the man. Kurenai's hand was right through his stomach making copious amounts of blood pour from the man's body. Kurenai's eyes opened to show all the guys her ruby slitted eyes that made them all gasp. Kurenai smirked while turning her attention to the men behind the main one before giving a demonic chuckle.
"Can you die by my hands please?" Kurenai asked making all the people in the bar scream at what she had done. Kurenai turned to the other men and grinned as she raised her hand and with a quick motion slashed on man's head clean off making the blood spray out from his lifeless body. The other's backed away while Kurenai stopped to look at the man's head before narrowing her eyes. She raised her foot over the head and scowled as she crushed it in one blow making the brains, skull bone, and anything else pour out while she only gave one word.
"Disgusting piece of trash," Kurenai said before turning her attention back to the others. The rest of the guys were scared out of their minds at the revelation and pretty soon Kurenai set her sights on them. They all felt so cornered, like a carnivore stalking it prey.
"Well aren't you guys going to keep me company?" Kurenai asked while nearing them with her eyes never losing their distinct demonic look.
"G-Get out of here you bitch, y-you psycho. Your a demon!" One of the guys yelled making Kurenai stop. They all breathed heavily and suddenly the air chilled while Kurenai intensified her gaze on the man in front of her.
"That's right. I'm a demon and...it feels kinda good," Kurenai said dashing forward. The peace of Konoha was disrupted by yells from the two distinct bars as people came running out of the places. Pretty soon both bars were on fire as people watched two figures exit each bar. They both smelled terrible from the blood and it only intensified the screams people emitted from their mouthes.
"M-Monsters! Demons!" A random civilian yelled. Kurenai saw Anko leave her bar with her sword out and blood across her face.
"Well Nai-chan, I'd say that we gave Konoha a wake up call," Anko said sensing multiple jonin on the way to their location. Kurenai grinned and looked at all the scared faces of the people in the streets.
"Well then let's give them a nice present once they arrive," Kurenai suggested and Anko wondered what she had in mind. Kurenai grinned and whispered in Anko's ear.
Flashback End
"Paint the streets red with their blood right Nai-chan?" Anko asked making Kurenai nod in agreement with her best friend. The two hanyou started their brutal massacre of the people of Konoha, but not too much so since they were only to scare people and cause some mass hysteria, but that didn't mean that they couldn't have some 'fun' while they worked. Whoever said you couldn't mix business with pleasure had obviously been lying. Three anbu arrived to the scene and the sight of what they saw nearly made them all puke.
"Who are you and state your reasoning for doing this," One anbu said to Anko and Kurenai. Both girls smirked while Anko took out her sword before swatting it clean of the blood that stained its metal.
"Oh it's gonna be a long night. And I'm gonna enjoy it," Anko said making her voice slightly more demonic to scare the anbu. And quite scared their were, but they steeled their nerves and fought the two hanyou women.
Meanwhile, Zabuza, Haku and Kin were their fun in the Red Light district. It felt good to Zabuza to reclaim his title as the Demon of the Mist. Because of the three, bodies fell one after the other. Screams were evident throughout the streets and the shinobi of Konoha were easily being taken down. No matter how hard someone tried, they couldn't dispel the mist that came across their area.
"Dammit, where are the reinforcements?" A jonin yelled to two chunin. Both were exhausted and the situation wasn't looking good at all.
"T-Their dead sir. We have to wait for more people," the chunin said. The jonin could only curse before he heard chuckling.
"Oh come on. Bring more. And more. I'll kill you all!" Zabuza yelled jumping from the mist and quickly ended the chunin's life. Zabuza gave a low, demonic chuckle while the jonin turned to his chunin underling.
"Retreat. Warn Hokage-sama now!" the jonin yelled. The chunin nodded and was about to go, but Haku came behind him and slammed her hand through his skull ending the man's life also. The jonin gasped before he saw Zabuza in front of him.
"Who are you?" he asked wondering how to get away, but his fate was sealed as Zabuza grinned.
"I'm your executioner. Right here right now!" Zabuza declared slashing the man's head off. His body dropped to the floor then Haku and Kin walked out of the mist and smiled.
"Is this enough to warrant hysteria?" Kin asked. Zabuza dispelled the mist and nodded with a grin. All three looked at the bodies of Konoha shinobi and civilians alike that they had killed and it was a strange sight to look at, but a good one to them.
"Good can we go home now? I'd like to get this blood off my clothes," Kin said to them. Zabuza and Haku chuckled at Kin and it slightly made the girl pout before she looked at their attire.
"Hey you two can't laugh at me," Kin said pointing at them. Both looked at their own attire and needless to say, Haku's face had blood all across it along with her clothes as well as Zabuza. Both turned to each other and shrugged their shoulders.
"Yeah, but we make this blood thing look good," They both said making Kin sweatdrop.
"Right, anyway let's go home. I can't wait for tomorrow. We might go into lockdown because of this," Kin figured. Haku and Zabuza nodded as they watched the small fires burn around some of the buildings they destroyed.
"I bet we're gonna cause mass hysteria in just a few more minutes. Come on we did our job let's go," Zabuza said and the three disappeared from view.
While this happened, Tsunade, Fu, Kushina, and Minato were in Hokage mansion watching it all go down. Tsunade gave a small grin when she saw the fires, but that grin was destroyed by one comment.
"Imagine all the paperwork you'll have when this is over," Minato said making Tsunade rub her forehead.
"Don't remind me," Tsunade said making Fu and Kushina chuckle. Soon the door burst open and three anbu came through the door really panicked.
"Hokage-sama it's a mess outside," One of them said and Tsunade adopted her persona and gritted her teeth in fake frustration.
"What's going on?" Tsunade asked in a powerful tone. All the anbu slightly shivered at her gaze, but nodded as the captain came forward.
"Tsunade-sama we are being attacked by unknown enemies. We don't know how they got here undetected, but they are causing destruction in the village and it's turning into a big problem," The captain reported. Tsunade sighed and looked outside and if you looked in her eyes hard enough, you could see a gleam of entertainment in them.
"Alright let's go. Mobilize our forces to deal with this threat. I'll be coming to," Tsunade said before turning to the disguised Minato along with Kushina and Fu.
"You guys check whose doing this also. I want a full report as soon as possible," Tsunade said before rushing out of the window. Minato and Kushina sighed while Fu pushed them towards the door.
"Now then, let's go and get some good seats. It's not everyday you get to see a village burn," Fu said while Minato and Kushina sighed with a nod as they left the room.
In other places, the genin were busy evacuating as many civilians as they could find. Most people went to the Hokage faces where there was a safety location in case of such things. Tenten, Neji and Lee were told by Gai to stay in the bunker until either the jonin or chunin said they could come out. Naturally, most of the genin were worried about what was going on and decided to talk.
"What do you guys think is going to happen?" Ino asked. Everyone shrugged their shoulders and sighed.
"Who knows. Whoever attacked us really picked the most troublesome to do it," Shikamaru said scratching the back of his head.
"D-Do you think the others are okay?" Hinata asked. Everyone could obviously see she was worried and Tenten decided to comfort Hinata slightly and grabbed the Hyuuga's hand softly.
"There fine Hinata. Kiba, Haku, Shizune, and Naruto-kun are all out there. Naruto-kun and Shizune are both jonin while Kiba and Haku are chunin. With them out there they will be fine and so will Konoha," Tenten replied making Hinata feel a little better.
"But even so I wonder who the hell is attacking us and what their reasons are," Neji said making everyone nod in agreement with him.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Shizune continued to watch and listen to some of the screams that came from the village and it made their blood boil in excitement, but then Naruto turned his head slightly and smiled.
"Well I take it that Madara is interested in me now?" Naruto asked making the person watching them go wide eyed.
"Come out Konan, you really need to work on your stealth," Naruto replied. Shizune smirked and turned her head in Naruto's direction and both saw the paper user come out of the woods. Konan narrowed her eyes at the Kyuubi jinchuuriki before wanting an answer.
"How did you find me?" Konan asked preparing for a fight as she took out a paper shuriken. Naruto raised an eyebrow before smiling.
"Well it's not hard when I concentrate hard enough. Also, you should put that away-," Konan soon felt a piece of metal to her neck at turned her gaze to see Naruto's red slitted eyes and his sword at her throat.
"I might take offense to it," Naruto said slapping a chakra seal on Konan's back.
"I got captured? So easily? Who is this boy?" All these questions went through Konan's mind while Naruto made a kage bunshin and restrained her.
"We'll talk later. For now let's enjoy the show down there," Naruto proposed and Shizune agreed. Konan looked at the two incredulously, but didn't say anything since the situation wasn't in her favor. Not at all.
Kiba, Hana, and Tsume were busy doing their own thing in the village and certainly instilled a large amount of fear. It strangely felt good for the three Inuzukas to have such a good time. The feeling of killing those who you always wanted to see die. The power that made it all possible. It was like a dream come true. Three anbu surrounded the Inuzuka family and drew their blades at them all.
"You'll pay for invading Konoha," the captain said making Hana, Kiba, and Tsume all snickered and their poor victims. Their hands and claws were already drenched with blood from killing a few more people, what was four more before they left?
"Show of hands people. Who here has the best killing record?" Hana asked them. The anbu weren't gonna answer the question and charged at Tsume, Hana, and Kiba before the three family members disappeared in a small blur which surprised the anbu, but that was all they had the time to do since Tsume made a giant slash across one anbu's chest making the blood spray out from the gashes across the man's body. Hana had crushed another one's windpipe like it was nothing and watched the man slump to the floor. Tsume and Hana didn't see Kiba kill his opponent, but then they saw his hands covered in more blood and even shattered pieces of skull fragments so they fathomed an idea about what he did.
"Well I'm tired, and judging from the screaming I'd say that this is definitely mass hysteria," Kiba said making Tsume and Hana nod in agreement with him. They saw the fires blaze around Konoha and wondered if this was enough, but didn't plan on sticking around. Sure no one could recognize them because of their fox features, but they didn't want to test out that luck so the three shunshined out o sight leaving a bloody street full of civilians and shinobi in their wake.
Naruto and Shizune kept their tabs on most of their family since they had terrific eyesight and were able to see everything that was going on. When they saw that most of their family had done their jobs and left for the house, Naruto and Shizune then turned to Konan who had the most confused expression across her face though she hid it well from her emotionless mask. The only reason they could tell is because Konan's attention was on the village fires rather than anything else.
"Enjoying the show Konan-san?" Naruto asked breaking Konan out of her stupor and turning to the blond.
"I don't understand this," Konan said making Naruto and Shizune raise their eyebrows at her.
"What don't you understand?" Shizune asked leaning close to Naruto and placing her head on his shoulder.
"Why are you betraying Konoha?" Konan asked simply to sate her own curiosity. Naruto and Shizune narrowed their eyes at the question, but the screams they heard from people lightened their mood slightly.
"I don't know about what you think, but for me, this is the easiest way to peace," Naruto said making Konan widen her eyes if only slightly. His words were so much like Nagato's and Yahiko's words.
"If you really desire peace then you should submit to Akatsuki. Your death will be the bridge to peace for the world," Konan said and Naruto had to laugh. He just had to. It wasn't an overly creepy laugh, just a simple humored laugh since he knew that Akatsuki's purpose was merely nothing now.
"I'm sorry, but you misunderstand Konan-san. I said I want peace, I don't care how you or Akatsuki achieve peace, but my death will not lead you to the peace that you want. Right now, I know your collecting the bijuu, but now, your only killing for a meaningless purpose," Naruto proclaimed making Konan raise an eyebrow at his words.
"I recently heard that Hidan and Kakuzu were found dead in Kiri. Who do you think did that?" Naruto asked and Konan widened her eyes even more at his words.
"You did that?" Konan asked and Naruto shook his head confusing the female Akatsuki member.
"It wasn't me, just my family. As it turns out not even Akatsuki can pose a threat to them let alone me," Naruto stated and Konan narrowed her eyes.
"No matter how strong you are you can not defeat a god," Konan said making Naruto roll his eyes.
"Oh? And what makes you think you know anything about me? Konan-san I could kill you right now if I wanted to, but something is telling me not to so I'll listen to that small voice for right now," Naruto said. Konan had to admit that he had a point. Seeing the village burning, Konan had to accept Naruto's point that he was more than he was letting on. Konan, however, wanted more answers to the questions that kept appearing in her mind while she was captured. She'd been trapped by the enemy and didn't even have access to her chakra, she might as well get some information despite the situation she was in.
"What did you mean when you said we were killing for a meaningless purpose? We are striving to bring the world towards understanding and peace, to allow all to know the pain of others. How is it a meaningless purpose?" Konan asked causing the blond hanyou to smile.
"Tell me, how do you think I got this powerful?" Naruto asked. Konan looked at the ground for a few minutes and contemplated Naruto's question and while she was doing that, Shizune turned to Naruto and whispered something in his ear. Naruto nodded and Shizune vanished in a water shunshin leaving the blond hanyou with the female Akatsuki member.
"It's obvious that your using the Kyuubi's power. You couldn't get this strong on your own," Konan said being rather blunt with Naruto. The blonde nodded in agreement and walked up to Konan.
"That's right Konan-san, Kyuubi did give me this power, but at a big price. Kyuubi traded it's life to offer me power and I'm gonna use this power to bring Konoha to it's knees. You get what I'm saying Konan? Kyuubi is dead, gone and is not coming back so whatever plan you and the others have...it already went down the drain," Naruto exclaimed making Konan widen her eyes. She wanted to believe Naruto was bluffing, but there was something in his eyes that uttered the truth and she had to accept that truth whether she liked it or not. Konan looked at the ground in slight confusion. If what Naruto said was true, then what where they hunting the bijuu for? If Kyuubi wasn't alive then it's all been for nothing. All they did was end human lives all for the sake of a plan that wouldn't be coming to fruition.
"Your lying," Konan said trying to goad Naruto a little. Naruto knew what she was thinking and it only added to his amusement of her trying to understand everything.
"Whether I'm lying or not is irrelevant to this situation Konan-san, you knew since the moment you got caught that you weren't going to beat me. Now then, I could kill you right here or you could join me and I let you live," Naruto spoke offering Konan a deal. Konan right away rolled her eyes at Naruto, but it amazed the blonde that she could still keep an emotionless face.
"No, I will not go against Nagato nor Akatsuki. What we do is for the benefit of all mankind," Konan retorted making Naruto raise an eyebrow at her.
"And what good is it to kill the others when you can't kill me. Better yet, what good is it to try and kill the others when Kyuubi's gone. Face it Konan-san, your ambition of bringing to world under Madara is a dream and it will remain as such," Naruto told her and Konan mentally shuddered at his cold tone.
"How do you know I won't betray you if I do join?" Konan asked. This really wasn't going well for her and her options were VERY limited. She still had to remember that without her chakra she was just as weak as the next person. She wasn't much for taijutsu, however, she could handle herself in some situations, but this wasn't like those situations. Naruto's bunshin really kept her pinned and it was evident that she wasn't going to get away. She still wanted to show Naruto that she wasn't intimidated by the situation...even if she was.
"Well...I assume your a smart woman Konan-san. Family is very important to me and Shizune, but if you do betray me...I'll kill you," Naruto said giving her the nicest smile he could muster. Konan felt her life decrease a few years when she heard that, but didn't let it show.
"Well you'll be staying at my house anyway so don't make too much of a fuss about it. And for your sake I'd suggest you keep that chakra seal tag on yourself and if you think about running away, you won't even make it past Konoha's gates if you tried," Naruto told her. Konan eyed Naruto for a bit to give him a glare, but knowing she was caught the female Akatsuki member resigned to her fate and nodded. Naruto smiled at Konan and turned back to the village.
"Well we have an understanding. Let's go," Naruto said with his clone picking Konan up bridal style and vanishing in a shunshin.
While Naruto was talking with Konan, Shizune decided to have her own fun and came into the center of the city where she was instantly surrounded by Konoha shinobi.
"You have some nerve invading Konoha what's your purpose," a chunin asked while the other shinobi nodded. Shizune smiled and took out a scroll then after applying some chakra Kakashi's head poofed out and Shizune bounced it up and down in her hand.
"I just wanted to return something I borrowed. Sorry if I broke it, but some things are just unavoidable," Shizune said tossing Kakashi's head to the chunin. The chunin grabbed the head and widened her eyes before he fell to the floor a puked from the sheer sight of Kakashi.
"What's the matter? Who is it?" a jonin asked while the chunin struggled to keep his breathing calm.
"I-It's Kakashi Hatake sir. They killed him!" the chunin yelled while Shizune heard gasps from the entire platoon of shinobi.
"You bitch! What have you done?" another jonin asked. Shizune kept up her smile for a little longer and opened her eyes to show everyone her red, demonic, hated and grief filled eyes making them all gasp at her.
"I've taken matters into my own hands and I'll start my fun so try to entertain me before I kill you all," Shizune said in a eerily calm tone.
"If I can't destroy Konoha yet, I'll certainly make you all scream for me," Shizune told them and in a blur of speed she quickly dispatched the first shinobi in her sights as she pierced her hand threw his chest. The man screamed out in pain before Shizune grabbed his throat and pulled him into the air. All the other shinobi charged at Shizune, but the raven haired woman wasn't going to let anyone stop her fun. Shizune made a chakra blade inside the man's chest and in a quick motion she pulled it free with the chunin's body coming in half. Everyone had to bear with the sight in from of them before they all saw Shizune reach for her hand and give it a small lick flinging the blood and was actually tasting it.
"It's so warm, yet sort of cold. Tell me, how does your blood taste?" Shizune asked before going in a frenzy on everyone in front of her, but she was then stopped by a kunai and backflipped away seeing Tsunade and five anbu arrive to the scene.
"How are you and why are you doing this to Konoha?" Tsunade asked in a mock pissed tone. The anbu readied their swords at Shizune before the raven haired hanyou saw Tsunade give her a small wink. Shizune chuckled at that and allowed her chakra to run wild for a bit. Most of the anbu choked on the foul chakra that exuded from Shizune, but Tsunade had a better handle on it simply because Shizune wasn't directing it at Tsunade herself just at her anbu. Tsunade cracked her knuckles while Shizune replied.
"It seems Iwa will do anything to get revenge on this place. To hire me is overkill," Shizune said making everyone gasp. Everyone felt they knew her, but with the fox ears, fox tail and the claws she was kinda hard to recognize.
"Iwa! They did this! Why am I not surprised?" These were the various comments that went throughout the anbu while Tsunade mentally chuckled.
"Shizune your too slick for your own good," Tsunade thought before slamming the ground causing it to quake. Shizune backflipped from the impending crash and jumped to a rooftop.
"Well I'm the Godaime Hokage of Konoha and your going to be sent back to Iwa in a body bag," Tsunade said and while applying chakra to her feet, she dashed for Shizune and slammed her in the face sending the raven haired hanyou through numerous buildings. The anbu smirked and felt a rush of confidence come over them when they saw that, but after about 2 minutes Shizune emerged and rubbed the back of her neck while smiling.
"Okay then Godaime-sama, show me how strong you are before I kill you," Shizune said, but was secretly happy. In the past future she had always wanted to fight Tsunade like this. Well...not like THIS, but somewhere along the lines of something like this. Tsunade narrowed her eyes in a mock serious tone before smiling.
"Well it's not everyday I see someone who can survive a punch from me head on," Tsunade spoke praising her 'enemy'. The blonde Hokage had to be lucky that Sarutobi was gone and enjoying his retirement or he could have seen through her fake play easily. Shizune only grinned and formed a chakra blade in her left and right hand.
"Well it's nice to meet a polite opponent. Now then, let's go" Shizune said as the two females charged each other. The anbu wanted to fight with their Hokage, but she told them to stay back so she could handle it. Naturally, they all did stay back and decided only to intervene in case their Hokage needed help.
Meanwhile, Anko and Kurenai had finished their job and their attacks were quite sufficient.
"Well Nai-chan shall we go home now?" Anko asked. Kurenai kicked other shinobi into one of the burning houses and smiled.
"Sure Anko let's go," Kurenai said and the girls were about to walk away, but were stopped by a yell.
"Dynamic Entry," an obvious person yelled making Anko and Kurenai dodge the attacker and backflip, Both looked to see Gai along with Asuma as both took fighting stances.
"First it's Suna and Oto now it's someone we don't even know? Man, people are getting bolder these days," Asuma said looked at the two hanyou women. Kurenai brushed a hand through her hair and glared at Asuma almost immediately.
"Anko, you take Gai. I'll handle Asuma. I've always wanted to have a spar with him, but he always turned me down. Now it's gonna be good," Kurenai said with her tail twirling around. Anko grinned at her friends and sealed her sword away. She had fought Gai before and weapons weren't very good on him. Plus, her sword was freakin' expensive not just to buy, but also to repair.
"Well I can finally get rid of that green spandex and maybe I can take out that 'youthful' personality of his," Anko said grinning. Kurenai nodded and both girls took their fights.
"How long against them?" Kurenai asked.
"30 minutes Nai-chan. An hour at the most before we have to get back," Anko replied and both women dashed towards their respective fights wanting to end this now.
