CHAPTER 4
OPERATION RAIN THEIF
As the sun rises, the group gets ready to head out for the Village Hidden in the Rain. "The fight will be long, but in the end it will all be worth while." Naruto said to himself as he zipped up his Akatsuki coat. He turns around to face everyone else, "Are all the preparations done? Is everyone ready to go?" Naruto asked. Everyone nods, "Very well, we will reach the Hidden Rain Village in 8 hours, so everyone follow me!"
Naruto dashes off in the direction of Northeast. Meanwhile at the Hidden Leaf Village hospital, Kakashi was critically injured from the Rasen Shuriken, he was immediately rushed to the Leaf Village hospital, Team Gai and Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji were all dispatched to go after Naruto and stop him. Since Kakashi didn't know where Naruto would be he split them into teams of two, Gai and Lee, Tenten and Ino, and Shikamaru and Choji. Gai and Lee were sent to the Village hidden in the clouds, Tenten, Ino went to the Village hidden in the Sand, Shikamaru, and Choji were sent to the Village hidden in the Rain, where Naruto and his group are headed. Naruto and his group are half way to the Rain Village, Shikamaru and Choji are far behind them. "This is such a drag." Said Shikamaru, "I just wish Neji was still here, it would make things a lot easier." Choji added, "Neji is in a better place now Choji, he wouldn't want to see Naruto like this, we just have to hurry and find him, and otherwise he could cause some trouble." Shikamaru said. Choji nodded and looked forwards, it had been 11 hours already since Naruto and his group left their hideout… Shikamaru and Choji were going much faster than he was so they made it there early, when they came out from the trees, they saw the Rain village in the distance, buildings on fire, buildings destroyed, Shikamaru and Choji already knew that Naruto was here, and was causing more than enough trouble already. "Choji! We need to find him quickly, let's split up." Shikamaru said, "Okay" Choji replied. They both headed in different directions, meanwhile Naruto's team split up Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were leading the main assault to the Shikage's mansion, Suigetsu, Jugo, and Hinata are taking the fight to the core demolishing platoons and weakening their forces.
Just as Naruto's team clear out the forces in front of the Shikage's mansion, Shikamaru appears infront of them. "So this is where you were, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke." Shikamaru said. "Why are you doing this?" He asked, "Move out of the way Shikamaru, before you get hurt." Sasuke told him, Shikamaru glared at Sasuke and asked them again. "Why are you…" Before Shikamaru could ask the same question, again Choji came rushing in. "Human bolder!" Choji shouted in the distance crashing through a building, Naruto activates Sage Mode and stops Choji and throws him off to the other side of the Village, turns around and gives Shikamaru an evil glare. "Move out of the way Shikamaru, I am bringing pervy sage's will to reality, true world peace." Naruto said as he walked up closer to Shikamaru, "True world peace? Naruto the fourth great ninja war is over, there is world peace." Shikamaru said, "For the moment Shikamaru, another war could break out because of 1 Village, after I take over the Rain, there won't be anymore of that the Village Hidden in the Rain is the only Village that can oppose us in a war. Yes, the Leaf has many allies but another war isn't what we want, eternal peace is what we want Shikamaru, move aside, now." Naruto demanded. Shikamaru got down on his knees and made a hand sign. Naruto was already aware of what he was doing; he let himself fall into his trap. "I cannot step aside Naruto, not after what you've done to Kakashi Sensei. You went too far Naruto." Shikamaru said, "Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Shikamaru held Naruto in place. "Naruto!" Sakura called from behind him. "I'll be alright," he said as Shikamaru pulled out a paper bomb. "Sasuke, do it" Naruto said as Sasuke nodded and Shikamaru turned his head to look at Sasuke as Sasuke activated his Sharingan and Genjutsu as soon as Shikamaru looked at him. Shikamaru broke his jutsu and fell down to the ground "Arghhh, damnit, Choji!"
Shikamaru yelled. "Super expansion jutsu!" Choji grew big enough to see him all the way at the other side of the village, "Spiky Human bolder!" Choji yelled as he wrapped the Kunai around him and began rolling towards Naruto. Sasuke stepped in front of Naruto and activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. "Begone with the ashes…" He closes one of his eyes and opens his right eye wider. "Amaterasu!" The black flames engulf Choji and he begins to burn. Sasuke's eye begins to bleed as he covers it with his hand and wipes away the blood. Naruto begins walking towards the Shikage's mansion, "Sasuke, Sakura, it's about time we ended this. Let's go" Naruto said, sounding determined. Sakura, and Sasuke walk after him. With Shikamaru and Choji defeated, Gai and Lee have started for the Village hidden in the Rain, Tenten and Ino are still searching in the Sand Village. Meanwhile at the main battlefield Suigetsu strikes down another Rain Shinobi and turns back towards Jugo and Hinata. "Are we all done here?" He asked "Y-Yes" Hinata replied, "Yeah" Jugo said with his curse mark still activated. "Alright then, let's go catch up with Naruto, Sasuke, and umm Sakura? Yeah, let's go." They began running towards the Shikage's mansion. The Shikage's mansion explodes, Suigetsu, Jugo and Hinata all stop running in that direction.
"Hinata, can you see what's going on up there?" Suigetsu asked, "Yes, Byakugan!..." She looks up to the mansion and sees Naruto with a Rasengan in his hand, and the Shikage is banged up with scratches and cut marks. "Naruto-kun is fighting the Shikage now." Said Hinata as she continued to observe what was going on, "He's going to use Rasengan to finish off the Shikage…" She added, they all looked up to the mansion to wait to see what happens, Naruto runs at the Shikage with the Rasengan, but the Shikage uses Water Dragon Jutsu and disrupts Naruto and the Rasengan disappears, Sasuke holds his hand up in the air. "Naruto, get out of here, I'm going to finish this in one shot." Sasuke said. "Alright" Naruto said, He left and so did Sakura, Naruto and Sakura both went down to Suigetsu, Jugo, and Hinata. "Sasuke is about to use Kirin" Naruto said, "This should be a safe enough distance." He added as he looked up into the sky as thunder began to crackle, Sasuke raised his hand in the air. "This jutsu is Kirin." A lion made of Lightning appeared behind Sasuke in the air. "Begone with the thunder clap." He pointed his hand at the Shikage and the Shikage began to tremble, the lion made of lightning rammed right into him, killing the Shikage. "That was Sasuke's ultimate jutsu?" Sakura asked looking surprised, "Yeah, Kirin in other words the thunder clap." Gai and Lee have made it outside of the Hidden Rain Village, but they were too late, the village has already been taken over whatever is left of the Rain village's military belongs to Naruto. "This is bad, where is Shikamaru and Choji?" Lee asked. "We're going to find them first, I can already see Choji, in his expanded form, Shikamaru must also be close by." Gai said to Lee. They both begin jumping across huge buildings and rubble and debris to get to Choji and Shikamaru.
When they get there, Naruto and Sasuke are there to greet them. "Naruto, what are you doing?" Lee asked. "It's too late to ask him that Lee, you should know that by now, Naruto has already become a rogue ninja, just look at his headband, he is no longer a hidden leaf shinobi now as our job as leaf shinobi, we must kill all rogue shinobi Lee." Gai gets in his fighting stance. "Sasuke, Lee and Gai are no pushovers they could have most likely taken down the Shikage as well as you were able, to keep your guard up." Naruto said, "Whatever" Sasuke said as he unzipped his Akatsuki coat and Naruto looked over and saw the curse mark on his back, and he thought to himself. "I thought that he lost the curse mark when he fought with Itachi…did he get it back somehow?" The curse mark covers Sasuke completely and he goes into Stage 2. "Sasuke, buy me some time, I'll enter Bijuu Mode." Naruto said as the Kyubi chakra began covering him, he enters Chakra mode and slowly goes into Bijuu Mode. While Sasuke begins fighting Gai and Lee at the same time, Gai and Lee are winning against Sasuke he creates a wall of fire to buy himself some time until Naruto is in Bijuu Mode. Lee and Gai jump over the wall and begin fighting Sasuke again Naruto enters Bijuu Mode and goes to support Sasuke. Just before Gai was going to hit Sasuke with Dynamic Entry, Naruto grabbed his leg and slammed him into the ground. "I will be your opponent Gai Sensei."
