Chapter 43: Assault on the leaf

Minato

Minato and Mira shot through the gate they had received word of an old Shinato base Mira shot off towards the one on the border of the land of fire while Minato had to go right though the land of wind to the other side to meet the agents there. The two made quick work through the forest and left each other as Minato moved forwards.

Konan

Nagato and Konan both looked at their familiar messenger

She said, "The two are out of the way."

The messenger then left the two as they neared the leaf .

Nagato ordered, "ok this is the plan..."

All six bodies nodded and moved out, along with Konan.

The six paths stopped in a small clearing as Konan smiled and said, "Preta path and Nakura path throw Animal path high into the air through the barrier."

The two nodded and threw Animal path into the air towards the leaf once she was through the barrier she summoned all the other paths along with Konan the seven split into two groups one group attacked the village viciously while the other searched for Naruto.

Deva path

Deva path moved through several houses before blowing them apart to find a leaf Chunin.

Deva asked, "Where is Naruto Uzumaki?"

The Chunin answered, "I don't know."

Deva path tilted his head before impaling him in the shoulder with a chakra rod. Suddenly Iruka arrived moving the wounded Chunin out of the way from Deva's next attack. Only for another man to jump forwards ready to attack but was kicked away by Kakashi.

Kakashi ordered, "Get him out of here."

Suddenly the other man repapered, striking Kakashi through the stomach only for it to be a clone, two lightning wolves charged towards the two attackers only to be repelled my Deva path.

Deva smiled and asked, "Where is Naruto Uzumaki?"

Kakashi retorted, "Sorry but that's a silly question." As two Akimichi clan members arrived.

Human path

Human and Animal path land on a few buildings when Animal path smiles summoning two giant Rhinos only for the Rhinos to be destroyed by a man and a massive blade next to him stood a slightly older Haku.

Haku said, "Zabuza it seems we found them."

Zabuza swung his sword and charged at Animal path as she summoned two dogs only for Zabuza to move his blade cutting through them. Human path charged towards Zabuza only to be stopped by an ice mirror he jumped back only to find his back to another mirror. The path looked around realizing he was encased in an ice mirror dome. Haku smiled as she retied her throwing needles she threw a barrage of needles only for the attack to miss The Human path moved and managed to grab Haku by the arm he ripped her soul out smiling he looked around the dome was still up he tried to punch through it but nothing worked he was trapped.

Zabuza

Zabuza sliced through three more summoned creatures only for Animal path to jump back even further. Zabuza felt a cold breeze come from the ice dome as he shopped down another summoned dog when he was kicked in the side of the head by someone he was sent crashing into a wall. Slowly he staggered up to see three paths standing before him next to the Human path was Haku.

Zabuza staggered forwards pulling his sword out of the ground and charged forwards he managed to slice through Animal paths cloak only to be sent flying into another building by the Human path. Zabuza slowly arose again the three paths walked towards him. Zabuza made a few hand signs and sent a massive water dragon towards them only for it to be absorbed by one of the other paths. Zabuza proceeded to charge them when he was forced to jump out of the way as a massive snake shot out of the ground on top stood Anko, Shizune and Ricky the snake vanished as the three landed in front of Zabuza.

Anko jeered, "Awww the demon of the mist isn't as demonic right now."

Zabuza snarled, "Shut up woman!"

Anko laughed and teased, "That's the demon we all know and love."

Zabuza ignored her and picked up his sword. As Ricky sent two lightning spears at the three only for Preta path to absorb the chakra with ease, Anko smiled as Animal path summoned two dogs which Zabuza moved killing them as Anko moved towards Animal path forcing her to jump back. Human path jumped out of the way dodging several of Shizune's needles.

Konan

Konan smiled as she dodged another attack from Hiashi and Shibi, she then proceeded to the left dodging Shino's incoming attack. She moved towards Shino as the bug user was sent crashing into a building by a paper tornado while the other two were then flicked away by massive paper wings. Slowly paper started to climb up and swallow all three of the leaf ninja when it stopped.

Konan asked, "What why did it stop?"

Shikamaru yawned and answered, "Sorry but that was because of me you interrupted my nap with this whole attack... and I guess your after Naruto right... well to be honest just asking us is not going to work... so why don't you tell us a bit about the Akauski and we might be able to help."

The three other leaf ninja got up and surrounded Konan along with Shikamaru when Shikaku Naara arrived using his shadow to strengthen his son's shadow.

Shikaku yawned and said, "How troublesome but I guess we have to stop you... but my lazy son is right nobody is going to sell out a comrade."

Konan smiled and said, "That's good then but I don't feel like staying in the shadows."

Suddenly Konan erupted into paper creating a paper tornado throwing all five ninja back in the air Konan repapered with her paper wings smiling. She sent down a barrage of Paper Shiriken at the group only for Hiashi to block them all with his rotation jutsu. Shino and Shibi then proceeded to send a barrage of Kunai and bugs towards Konan who retaliated using paper and wind to flick them all back at the group who all dodged the attack.

Hiashi smiled and joked, "Just like old times right Shibi and Shikaku?"

Shibi retorted, "You mean when Shinato took all the fun out of it so in a way yes."

Shikaku said, "he is not here so we have to show Lord Shinato that we can keep the promise we made by protecting the village."

Konan smiled and sent another barrage of paper shiriken towards the group again blocked by Hiashi suddenly from behind Konan a jet of water hit her knocking her out of the sky. Shikamaru and Shikaku both moved in using shadow possession jutsu. While Shibi and Shino created a bug casing around Konan which started to feed on her chakra.

Ko asked, "Lord Hiashi are you ok sir."

Hiashi grinned and answered, "I am fine and since you joined the group I told you not to call me sir or lord anymore."

Deva path

Deva path smiled as Asura path sent a long range attack only to see Kakashi stop it with his Sharingan finally killing him as Nakura path arrives and finishes healing Asura when four more leaf ninja arrive.

Guy warned, "Tenten, Lee and Neji don't let your guard down for a second they are the ones who killed Jiraiya and are after Naruto."

Tenten smiled and said, "As an apprentice for the Shinato guards I will not fail."

Lee shouted, "Let's show them the power of youth."

Tenten jumped back and then high into the air sending a barrage of giant Shiriken towards the three paths only for each of them to be stopped by Asura who fired a barrage of Kunai. Neji stood still as Guy and Lee dashed to the left and right both closing in on Deva path to be flicked away Neji charged forwards and struck Deva path before he was flicked back. Neji smiled his idea was right.

Neji shouted, "Five seconds that's how long it takes for him to use that almighty push of his."

Tenten smiled and said, "That should be easy enough for those two."

Tenten was forced to jump back as Asura tried to slice her with a sword she quickly summoned her spear pole and parried the next attack she then jumped away and unleashed another barrage of weapons again only to be blocked by Asura path who did the same.

Guy and Lee both stood up and charged towards Deva path again only to be flicked away Neji threw a Kunai at Deva path a second after the attack only for it to be stopped by Nakura path. Deva path smiled as he used almighty push again flicking the entire group into the rouble. Neji looked at where Deva path sent the attack to find him gone along with all his other paths.

Neji asked, "Where did they go?"

Guy shouted, "Dam it how un youthful."

Tsunade

Tsunade watched as the village was in terror due to the fighting when Choji arrived slightly panting he looked at the six Hokage.

Choji said, "Kakashi is down... the minimum time for Deva paths almighty push is five seconds."

Tsunade nodded and ordered, "Choji go help Sakura and the other medics over at the hospital and protect them."

Choji nodded and vanished as Deva path arrived and said, "Hello Lady Tsunade... last of the Sanin."

Tsunade roared, "You! Jiriaya trained you and you do this to him and his home."

Deva smiled and laughed, "Yes it is very ironic isn't it Lady Tsunade now tell me where Naruto is and I will be on my way."

Tsunade laughed and snapped back, "Sorry that's a silly question."

Deva path jeered, "Ha that's the same silly line the copy ninja used before I killed him that is."

Tsunade thought, "That's where the information came from... dam I don't have much chakra my slugs are all around the village healing as many as they can."

Human path

Human path smiled as he grabbed Shizune by the head he ripped her soul out to discover the location of Naruto

Human path shouted, "I know where he is let's go!"

Animal and Preta path both nodded and the three vanished leaving there fighters mystified.

Hiashi

Konan smiled as she freed herself from the trap she was in vanishing from the area completely.

Shibi asked, "Hiashi how did she get out?"

Hiashi sighed and answered, "It was a clone and I can't find her which mean she is long gone."

Konan

Konan smiled as she appeared out side of the leaf village she pulled out a scroll and waited for the signal.

Deva path

Deva path smiled as Tsunade shouted, "We will not let you terrorist take whatever you want and whenever you can."

Suddenly all the other paths arrived next to Deva path causing Tsunade to stop when Itachi and Kushina arrived.

Kushina asked, "Tsunade sensei are you ok?"

Tsunade nodded as Itachi ordered, "Go help more villages Tsunade we will take care of these ninja."

Tsunade took the chakra pill Itachi offered her and stepped back to watch leaving the two to deal with all six paths. Itachi smiled as he looked at all the paths he studied how they stood three up front while two were strait down the middle.

Animal path summoned two giant Rhino's and sent them towards Itachi and Kushina only for Kushina to use her chakra chains to crush the Rhino's as Itachi sent a massive fire ball to Preta path to block the attack completely. Kushina moved forwards weaving a few hand signs she trapped Animal path in Chakra chains Fire suddenly spread up the chains. While Itachi sent another fire ball towards Preta path forcing it to block the attack. As Animal path is fried by Kushina's attack.

Kushina sent the body flying back as Asura path sent a barrage of poison needles she jumped out of the way only to to block Human path's kick. She spun around and sent Human path crashing away. Only for Deva path to close in on Kushina sending her crashing into a wall Asura path moved sending hudreds of bomb balls towards her Itachi rushed over and stood between the two he activated Sasanoo blocking the attack completely Preta path charged towards Itachi only to be cut in half by Itachi's sword both halves were sent crashing away.

Nakura path moved to the two fallen paths and revived them with ease. The two paths charged towards Itachi and Kushina

Kushina Shouted, "Itachi the two we took down are back…. It seems one of them can revive the other."

Itachi grinned and retorted, "Lets see how well they can revive them."

Itachi looked at Animal path who was mare seconds from summoning when he used Ameratsu on Animal path he moved it around forcing Preta path to absorb the flames before he could get to Animal path. Itachi cancelled the jutsu to see all was left of Animal path was her arm and leg. Causing Itachi to grin as he watched Asura path and his burnt hands. Deva path moved in on them and sent Itachi and Kushina crashing away creating a massive stream of smoke.

The smoke cleared as Itachi and Kushina both staggered up. To see all six paths stood tall.

Itachi thought, "Dam it and I am out of chakra and Kushina looks like she is out of it as well I guess I have one more attack left it has to work."

Deva path shouted, "I grow tired of this time to end this…."

The other five paths vanished as Deva path arose high into the air.

Itachi asked, "What is he going to do?"

Deva path shouted, "Know pain feel pain Almighty push."

Suddenly the entire village was blown into every direction possible dust swallowed the village whole.
