Chapter 6 Assault on Jirobo's base part 1 the plan

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and Metal Slug

Konoha (fire country territory)

(Song: The final call by Shadows Fall)

BOOM KABOOM BOOM

Those were the sounds of the tanks blasting their cannons at the large wall that protects the village of Konoha and keeps invaders from entering the village; SOUND soldiers fire their machine guns while other fire their RPG's at the wall joining the tanks in their task to destroy the mighty wall. Jiraiya has order every soldier to fire RPG's along with rocket launchers to destroy the enemy tanks and the soldiers using the RPG's their top priority was to stop SOUND from breaking the wall and evade them from entering the leaf village. Other soldiers among the young ones were firing their heavy machine guns helping the rest of the fire soldiers while Hanabi was keeping an eye on her teammates finally taking her sisters advice to think about others and protect them from the enemy along with the task to protect her village. Things got worse as SOUND call for back up and enemy choppers appear they fire their missiles at the gate along with more tank canon fire and RPG's blast until the worst happen the main gate of the village was destroyed allowing the SOUND soldiers to enter and begin their invasion to destroy the village.

Jiraiya was shock seeing the enemy destroying the main gate now things have really turn from bad to worse now they were truly in deep trouble and danger he needed to act fast, this were the times when his skills as a top sergeant really came true.

"LAUNCH HEAVY FIRE ON THE MAIN GATE USE FIRE BOMB DO NOT LET THEM ENTER THE VILLAGE AT ALL COST"

Another squadron of fire soldiers came with their rocket launchers firing on the enemy tanks destroying a couple while others threw their fire bomb burning a whole battalion of SOUND soldiers their flesh were now burn they looks like they were overcooked. Between them was a woman in her mid twenties with long purple hair and brown eyes she was another fire soldiers with great skills her name is Yugao she fire her rocket launcher while throwing fire bomb destroying more tanks and burning SOUND soldiers. Another group fired their RPG's and rocket launchers on the choppers helping the tanks in destroying the main gate, Jiraiya wasn't stupid he called for backup before the arrival of the enemy knowing this wasn't going to be as easy as the first time when they attack. The tank squadron along with the rest of the leaf squadron arrived shortly and started firing their cannons destroying more SOUND tanks and choppers.

The tide of the battle became bad for Konoha as a couple of fire soldiers were injure by the enemy even making the medical team to retrieve them to treat their injuries, however the hard efforts of Kakashi, Asuma, Gai, Kurenai, Iruka, Izumo, Kotetsu, Anko, Ebisu, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon and Hanabi were keeping the battle victory in their favor for now. Jiraiya had it he was pissed he took his a heavy machine gun and a couple of fire bomb and unleash his wrath a leaf sergeant on the SOUND soldiers killing more of them and burning more of their bodies. By now only a couple of SOUND tanks and choppers were left but there were more soldiers and the battle was far from over, after an hour and a half the battle was still raging on but little by little the enemies numbers were being reduce slowly looks like victory was at hand Konoha. For Konohamaru's the battle was bad as they have ran out of ammo ad they were completely out of spare, they gasp seeing SOUND soldiers about to shoot them when Hanabi came to their rescue and shot them with her machine gun the young soldiers sighed in relief for her teammate to save their lives.

"Thanks Hanabi" Konohamaru said with a smile.

"No problem we have to look out for each other now let's defeat the enemy for good"

The leaf village was filled with scarps from choppers and tanks everywhere in two hours the fire soldiers have overpower and defeated once again the SOUND army, the only thing that it was left from them was only twenty soldiers. The remaining SOUND soldiers stood still seeing that they were outnumber by a one to a hundred the rest of their forces have been eliminated, with no backup to aid and not wanting to die like the rest of their comrades there was only one thing they could do.

"RETREAT FALL BACK"

The twenty soldiers left the village running for their lives until they all exploded like they were human grenades, the fire soldiers were all shock at the sight looks like there was someone who didn't wanted them to run away.

(The general of this army must be a real bastard to not tolerate retreat to his own men) Jiraiya thought.

(End of song)

At the SOUND base Jirobo has watch the whole battle with his communication unit with angry eyes he couldn't believe it not once but twice his army has failed to destroyed Konoha, he knew that this was no ordinary village but for his army failed twice was inconsiderable act. Another thing that made him angry was the fact that the rest of his men decided to run like chickens but he already took care of that putting an automatic grenades unit activating them when they decided to retreat he consider it to be a very clever idea for the soldiers to fight in battle rather to run away like cowards. He was so angry he could find anyone and kill them just to help his anger he reach for the communication again and contact another soldier.

"Secure the base and prepare to activate the heat censors when those leaf soldiers arrive this time we will be the ones to surprised them"

"Yes sir"

Jirobo growl feeling his hatred and his blood boil for the Konoha soldiers he has finally reach the limit of his patience and he wasn't going to show mercy to them not in the least.

(I will kill them all)

Back at Konoha the soldiers were cleaning up the mess made by the enemy all scrap from the tanks and choppers were being sent to the recycling center to be used to build their own tanks and weapons, Tsunade order the construction team to began work on the rebuild of the main gate they needed to be back as new in case more enemies return. The battle was won once again and Konoha still stand tall and with only the main gate destroy and a couple of soldiers injure it was nothing serious compare to the usual results of a regular battle, Tsunade went to him seeing the mess around the entrance of the village the battle was no walk in the park.

"So it didn't turn so bad is it?"

"No the main gate was destroyed and some of our soldiers were injure the medical team already sent them to the hospital to treat their wounds as we speak they should be fine now"

"So another victory for us everything is depending on the leaf squadron and the Metal Slug team" Tsunade said.

"Yeah so what's their status?"

"According to Shikamaru's report they were ambush by a SOUND army arriving at the location of the SOUND base however they were successful in defeating them thanks to the stealth armor technology also they got a couple of guest joining them"

"Guests?" Jiraiya said while raising an eyebrow" what kind of guests?"

Tsunade sighed knowing that the sergeant wasn't going to like the news" apparently they have found two SOUND soldiers who according to the information have surrender and now they are helping them in attacking the base"

"WHAT" shouted the older sergeant" and they accepted their help this is nothing but a trap to gain trust and then betrayal it's the win you over and double cross you move it's the oldest trick in the book I can't believe my own team would actually agree to this what are they thinking?" he growl while tightening his fist holding his anger.

"Calm yourself Jiraiya I'm sure they're aware of it but you've got to have some faith in your team remember they are the best soldiers in Konoha trust in them"

"I know what you're trying to tell me but still I can't let this go without notice I must speak with him at once"

"Who Shikamaru?"

"No Naruto I know him too well he will never do this without having a good excuse I must talk to him" he then left while Tsunade sighed.

(Jiraiya unlike you I fully trust Naruto)

At the Leviathan (kitchen area)

The whole team was eating after having their first victory on their own it was worthy to eat and also because they were hungry especially Naruto, their new allies Kin and Sasame were also enjoying the meal. They were all sitting in a long table and almost all of them were keeping their distances from the two SOUND soldiers not to mention keeping their eyes on them since they didn't trust them among them were TenTen and Ino, however some were already getting along with them and even consider them great friends this includes Hinata, Sakura, Lee and Naruto yup even him. Lee has grown more fond of Sasame he has enjoyed her company unlike the rest of his companions even if the young soldier couldn't speak because of the tragedy to witness the death of her parents, Sasame like hanging out with the group knowing that they didn't fully trusted her and her friend Kin but still like them especially Lee. The meal was quiet because they were all hungry along with a few sharp glares to Kin and Sasame coming from Neji and TenTen, both SOUND soldiers knew that they have every right to not trust them they were after all part of an evil organization who wants to take over the five nations and didn't care who many people they kill and enslave so their justification was true.

Naruto finish his plate having a big smile on his face since the food was delicious he look at Kin and Sasame and ignore the glares coming from Neji and TenTen only focusing on his new allies" so Kin I apologize for interrupting your meal but how about if you tell us more about SOUND think of it as another matter to win over our trust in you and Sasame"

Kin swallowed another bite of miso pork ramen before nodding" of course I have no problem with that I will cooperate in telling you everything I know about the organization, well I'm sure you already know that SOUND has six generals apart from Orochimaru and each of them has their own base of operations you all know that general Jirobo's base is here in the fire country general Kidomaru's base is in wind country, general Sakon's base is in water country, general Tayuya's sky base is located in the skies of lighting country and general Kimimaro's base is in earth country"

"Wait a minute you mention five generals what about the other one?" TenTen said in a hostile tone not trusting what the SOUND soldier was saying.

"Yes and what about Orochimaru?" Neji said in the same tone as his friend.

Kin sighed" you're right there is another general but I don't know the location of his base general Kabuto is a very cautious person and he doesn't gives information to anyone besides Orochimaru himself not even to the other SOUND generals anything about his arsenal and men it also includes the coordinates to his base, the only person who knows of his location is general Orochimaru"

"And where is the location to Orochimaru's base?" ask Sasuke not in a hostile tone but a normal tone even if he didn't trusted her.

"Orochimaru's base of operations is in the sound village located in rice country he also has his own army which is the strongest in all of SOUND since he is the leader of the organization"

"Then all we have to do is take out Orochimaru we killed him and the rest of the organization crumbles" Kiba said while Akamaru bark.

"That's easier said than done Kiba attacking Orochimaru's base as things stands right now will be suicide because of the strong security in rice country and not to mention that the other SOUND generals won't let that happen they will immediately bring backup to aid their leader" Naruto said.

"I agree I think we should forget about Orochimaru's base for now and focus on the other SOUND bases" Sakura said.

"But first we destroy this SOUND base will begin by getting rid of the SOUND forces in the fire country then we'll focus on the other nations" Naruto said.

"It's obvious that's our plan since Hokage-sama has made the choice to help them against the threat of SOUND although I still don't like the idea of joining forces with them" Neji said.

"SOUND is about to be defeated here hell back at the village they defeated another SOUND army they never stood a chance" Kiba said.

"But now they have to rebuild the main gate at a fast step who knows if more of the enemy appears to attack" Lee said.

The door to the kitchen hiss open and Shikamaru enter" hey Naruto there's a transmission from the sergeant he wants to speak with you"

The spiky blond soldier sighed" I have a strong feeling what he wants to talk to me about fine I'm going" he got up from the table and left the kitchen it was good because he was done eating.

He reach the control room of the Leviathan activating the communication system and the face of the white hair sergeant Jiraiya appear on screen and he didn't look happy at all, Naruto had a pretty good idea why he was upset with him.

"What do you think you're doing?" he said in an angry tone.

"About what?" pretending he didn't know what he was talking about.

"You know what I'm talking about letting those SOUND soldiers join you this is obvious a trap of betrayal just nothing but a plan to gain your trust whatever they told you it's nothing but a lie"

"Yeah I guess it looks like a plan to double cross us but I can see it in their eyes they are telling the truth they are nothing but victims of SOUND their homes destroyed and their families killed just so they can become soldiers and fight for Orochimaru's ambition"

Jiraiya growl" that's enough Naruto I've thought I taught you better than this I told you not to be too trusting with the enemy no mercy don't forget this is war and in war they are NO rules it's either kill or be killed and right now you have fallen for their trap, if you think I'm going to let you jeopardize our chances for winning this war then you are sadly mistaken I want those SOUND soldiers taken care off now that is an order"

Naruto glare at him anger in check within his system" Jiraiya are you asking me to kill two civilians in cold blood?"

"Those are not civilians they are soldiers from SOUND the enemy organization we are fighting hard to defeat now as sergeant of Konoha I am giving you a direct order to kill those two"

Naruto closed his eyes for a moment letting the information he just heard to sink in his system until he finally understood the message, he open his eyes again his blue sapphire meeting the black orbs of the sergeant.

"Sergeant Jiraiya they are no longer soldiers from SOUND we confiscated their weapons and they have planned a coup to betray their own general they are willing to help us on our cause they have also given us a disc containing information on the SOUND base we are about to attack not to mention information on the organization itself, I do not believe they are planning to betray us hell even one of them can't speak because she saw her parents kill in front of her I can tell she's a good person along with her friend so I think we should have them with us to aid on our mission to destroy general Jirobo's base"

Jiraiya was glaring at him at every word he just heard from his best soldier" are you disobeying a direct order from your superior soldier?"

Naruto glare at him back with the same intensity" yes I am" his eyes softened seeing the pissed off look of the sergeant" Jiraiya please listen to me don't get angry with me I know what you're trying to say and you're right this could be a trap but I have strong feeling I can trust those two girls they have experience enough as it is they have given us too much information to be actual traitors, so please understand I know you're worry about the safety of Konoha that's your job but I want to follow my instincts and help in any way I can"

Jiraiya didn't look angry anymore he was looking at him with a sad expression" you're right the safety of the village is my job but I am more worry about the lives of my men especially you Naruto I….I promised Minato I would take care of you so please reconsider your decision"

"I'm afraid I won't do that I've made up my mind already those two are staying with us and will help us in the upcoming attack whether you like it or not you can tell that to granny Tsunade too"

Jiraiya sighed" fine it's your choice and I can't seem to control you like a proper sergeant to his men but what are you planning if it turns into a betrayal what will you do?"

Naruto's expression change to a serious look that mean business" if it is a trap then……I will kill them myself personally and I will also be strip off my rank as a leaf soldier because I disobey the orders of my in command sergeant"

The white hair sergeant smirk" is that how it's going to be then….fine you will take responsibility for your mistakes all right I will allowed it, remember to keep an eye on them"

"I will anyway have there been any more attacks in the village?"

"After this one no there hasn't been any I think they have given up on attacking the village and they have started to focus on you guys so please be careful don't hesitate to call for back up if things turn bad are we clear?"

"Sir yes sir"

"Good that will be all I will await your victory report on the destruction of the SOUND base"

Naruto smirk at his comment" oh don't worry I will"

Jiraiya cut off his communication while sighing at the actions of his favorite soldier takes he felt like déjà vu all over again from a long time again.

(Naruto you're a pain in the ass just like your father)

At the Leviathan the whole team were in the main computer room Sakura was finally checking the data the disc Kin gave them everyone was paying close attention to see what kind of information they were about to see, once Sakura put the disc on the drive on the screen appear the symbol of SOUND. The whole group gasp seeing a map of the SOUND base with the list of all the artillery and machines along with a list of weapons the soldiers are using, the data also contains an explanation of every floor of the military base. This was all the information they needed in order to attack the base and know all its weak points and make the perfect plan to defeat the SOUND army in this region, needless to say that everyone was impressed with the data it was enough to assure victory.

"Amazing we have enough data here to make the perfect assault on the base" Shikamaru said in awe.

"Yeah this data it's unique everything is here every weapon control machines and every detail about each floor of the base" Sakura said while tipping on the computer.

"I'm not expecting you guys to trust me and Sasame so easily but the only thing we want is that you help us stop SOUND for good and end the war before more victims like us and more lives are wasted for a worthless cause" Kin said.

"We know Kin but you have help us a lot with this information you have given us" Naruto said with a smile.

"Yes with this we will have a great advantage against the enemy our chances of winning this battle are very high" Shikamaru said.

Shino enter the room" Shikamaru we will reach the enemy base in a few hours"

"Good it's time to prepare for the battle everyone gather your weapons and ammunition and get ready to move out" Shikamaru said.

"Yeah finally we are going to fight" Ino said cheery.

"About damn time too" Kiba said.

"Hey Shikamaru why don't we let Kin and Sasame help us inthe fight?" Naruto said.

The whole team was shock at his comment.

"What are you crazy we can't do that" TenTen said shock.

"I agree we can't let them have weapons they will eventually turn their back on us it's too risky" Neji said.

"Maybe we should give them a chance" Hinata said.

"Look everyone I understand that most of you don't trust them at all but come on let's give them a chance and besides I'm sure Kin and Sasame wants to have some revenge on SOUND for everything they have done to them right?" Naruto said looking at the SOUND soldiers.

"Oh you have no idea what I want to do to those bastards especially general Jirobo I want to make them pay all of them for destroying our homes and our families for toying with others lives and used us to fight for them so we could get killed because of their plan to dominate the five nations, even if you don't let me I will still get a weapon and help you fight I've got some payback with those bastards the same goes for our two friends at the SOUND base they also want some revenge too" Kin said with a glare.

"So who are those two friends of yours?" Sasuke said.

"They are a couple of SOUND soldiers who wants to get some payback too they used to live in the same village with me and Sasame one is called Dosu the poor guy was almost burn to death because he didn't wanted to fight for the organization he manage to survive but his entire body was badly burn and he's now covered in bandages you can say he looks like a mummy if you see him when you infiltrate the base don't tell him that he will immediately know it was me who told you, the other is called Zaku he's a bit of a rebel a wild one you might call but he has his reason he lost his entire family when SOUND attacked our village he's the one who wants revenge on them the most"

"I see so we have more allies" Sasuke said with a smirk.

"The more the merrier that's what I always say" Sakura said.

"Well it's time to head to the base prepare to head out to the hangar when I give you the command to engage the enemy and don't worry this time you guys will have all the credit for defeating the enemy" Shikamaru said as he left with Shino and Chouji.

"All right let's go" Naruto said.

The Leviathan continued its journey towards the SOUND base by now Shino activated the stealth armor making the vehicle invisible it wasn't long before they reach the base. At the hangar the team has gather their weapons and grenades they also equip some fire bomb while Kiba decided to use stone too although they didn't know why because a grenade and a fire bomb was much effective than a stone. Naruto grin as he took the laser gun oh yeah he was going to test when he infiltrates the base he was going to have some much fun with his new toy, the others took other weapons while Neji took the enemy chaser and TenTen took the drop shot. Kin and Sasame a heavy machine gun their pistols follow by a couple of grenades, fire bomb and a shot gun for close range combat. After a couple of hours they have finally arrived at the SOUND base control by general Jirobo they saw how big the base is there was a large building who was obvious the main building of operations where Jirobo is, they were a couple of small buildings follow by the hangars were all the tanks were being held.

At the SOUND base in the main control room Jirobo had a wicked grin on his face even if his army failed to destroy Konoha twice he was going to enjoy to please his anger by killing the enemy leaf soldiers that were about to knock on his doorstep. He grin again thinking that they were going to be stupid and used their stealth armor again to their advantage boy were they ever wrong this time his army were going to be ready for them, suddenly one of the soldiers notice something on his heat censor radar.

"Sir we have some movement ahead whatever it is, is something big"

Jirobo grin" it's them so they have finally come well time to give them our welcome ALL UNTILS OPEN FIRE NOW"

(Song: Into the mouth of hell we march by Trivium)

BOOM KABOOM BOOM

Shikamaru, Chouji and Shino as soon as they got hit by the cannon fire they were shock.

"What the hell we got hit" Shikamaru said.

"But we have the stealth armor" Chouji said.

"They must be using heat sensors on their radars to locate our position" Shino said.

"How troublesome we have no choice OPEN FIRE FIRE MAIN CANNONS"

The Leviathan fire their cannons while the hangar door open and came an army of SOUND tanks heading their way, they were completely out numbered the enemy had a big advantage over them.

Shikamaru turn on the communication" Naruto it's your turn to attack"

"I'm way ahead of you Shikamaru" came Naruto's voice from the communicator.

Naruto cut off his communication" Kiba we need to make sure the enemy doesn't see us"

"Got it I know what to do" Kiba said.

"Everyone put your goggles on for the smoke screen here you two take this it will help you see through the smoke screen" Naruto gave Kin and Sasame a pair of goggles.

"What smoke screen?" Kin said puzzle.

"You'll see" Naruto said with a grin" al right Metal Slug team time to mobilize"

The team went to their rightful Metal Slug's while the gate of the hangar opened outside.

"Sasame-san be careful" Lee said while the mute girl smile at him and nodded.

"Akamaru it's your turn to shine" Kiba said.

The mechanical dog bark before leaving the Leviathan facing the enemy he open his mouth letting a large thick smoke screen covering all of their surroundings, pretty soon the SOUND soldiers couldn't see a thing the same with Jirobo in the main control room.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Sir there's too much smoke we can't see anything"

Jirobo growl" goddamn it those leaf bastards continued firing I don't care if you can't see just fire with everything we had I want those leaf soldiers dead do you hear me"

"Yes sir"

The base continued firing their canons along with the tanks and the soldiers firing their machine guns, of course since they couldn't see a damn thing they were completely shooting off range of the leaf soldiers and now it was time to fight back. Neji, TenTen, Lee, Kin and Sasame left the Leviathan with their goggles they could able to see through the smoke screen Neji fire the enemy chasers the powerful homing missiles hit a couple of tanks destroying them TenTen follow firing the drop shot as the bouncing bombs destroy more tanks. Kin and Sasame team up firing their heavy machine guns followed by a couple of grenades blowing a lot of soldiers on the way, so far so good they were winning.

"How about we give them some support?" Naruto said" Destroyer heading out"

"Avenger ready to rumble" Sasuke said.

"Berserker is ready to move out" Kiba said.

The three Metal Slug's left the Leviathan joining with the rest of the team who were still firing on the enemy forces, they were going to do this quick so they headed towards the base they fire their powerful machine guns destroying more tanks and soldiers. It was a good thing that the Metal Slug's had a radar that enable them to see through the smoke screen just like their special goggles, the Metal Slug's used their own powerful cannons blasting a whole squadron of SOUND tanks. The base and their forces were still confuse they couldn't see a thing thanks to the smoke screen and one by one each soldiers and each tank were wipe out in a matter of minutes the mighty SOUND base was defeated on the outside. Jirobo was not happy to see the smoke covering everything in sight before he realize it the smoke screen finally lifted his eyes widened in shock seeing his tanks destroyed a lot of his men killed. He growl in pure ager in just a few minutes almost all of his outside forces have been taken out by the leaf soldiers, he saw a couple of his tanks and men but it was nothing compare to the numbers he had before the attack. That's whe he notice the forces of Konoha he saw the large vehicle the Leviathan and three tanks he has never seen before the image of the tanks was unique and they look quite powerful.

(What are those tanks I've never see anything like it before they must be Konoha's newest weapons with such power no wonder my forces fell so easily)

He open the communication link to the entire base" attention this is your general speaking secure the whole building I want every last soldier guarding the command center also guard the prisoners make sure they don't escape" he cut off his communication before grinning at the screen" now that my army is almost defeated they will come here to fight me personally I am looking forward to fight them I will give them a very painful death"

(End of song)

Back at the battlefield the Berserker and the Avenger continued their attack on the remaining SOUND forces along with the leaf soldiers, the Destroyer was standing a few yards away from the main building of the base it was time to finish this fight.

"Sakura-chan are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be"

"Naruto, Sakura go and infiltrate the main building we will finish off what remains of the enemy" Sasuke's voice came from the communicator.

"Naruto please let us come with you Dosu and Zaku are inside along with the hostages" Kin's voice

"Hostages you didn't mention about being hostages in the base" Naruto said.

"Well I forgot to tell you about that but some of the people that SOUND capture they are send as prisoners to become potential experiment subjects of Orochimaru I want to save them"

"Okay then let's save them we can also finally take care of general Jirobo and finish the SOUND forces in the fire country all right next destination the central command building"

To be continued

Whoa cliffhanger it's to be expected the leaf soldiers are close to defeat SOUND but will they be able to stop Jirobo stay tune for the next chapter remember to review until next time farewell.
