AUTHORS NOTE: Ok about how I described Naruto's troops, remember that he only just recently became a ruler, at this moment what most of his soldiers have are what was present in the slave soldier armouries, despite taking all the money present Naruto had to work with what he currently has rather then what he wants to have so as kinda a stop gap measure he had just went ahead and placed a lot of convieniant Seals on the sets of armour present while waiting for the new and improved sets of armour being made, due to the sudden attack On his terrietories he hadn't had time to deploy his cataphract heavy cavalry which were scraps themselves from the armours that were left behind from when the people who could actually afford the armour sets had run away screaming: The slaver merchants...
Also as to why he doesnt have any Cataphracts is that the invasions suddenly happened he had to call in anyone that could muster at a moments notice The cavalry present itself should have been kitted out as Cataphracts but had no time to.

A few minutes before the arrival of Narutos army within Nagashino castle
(a/n: Siege of Nagashino is already entering third day, Garrrison consists of one thousand elite samurai newly inducted Ashigaru spearmen in training thus was not included in the before list of forces available to Naruto.)
Byakuya stood in his bloodied Kimono and a dusty bloodied breastplate watched as the defence of the battlements were still underway as he grimaced as he saw another man to receive and arrow to the head, he and his wife had arrived here for a meeting with her adoptive brother, when on the second day the southern Genbu lord had beseiged the castle with their huge army.
The first waves were easy to repel most being knife wielding slave-peasants, he had helped in those few waves as he openly wept as he cut down peasant after peasant his wife fighting alongside him as she too openly wept alongside him.
There was soon a lull in the fighting allowing a messenger to be sent to Genbu city to report that the castle was under siege for three days the local garrison and the five lords bodyguards had been beating off assaults by blood thirsty mercenaries, which he had, unlike the peasant, had no problems with killing.
As Byakuya watched a Shiba clan members and their retinue used their blunderbusses and carbines in a firing line as others behind them threw grenades directly on top of the swarm of mercenaries causing a huge plume of smoke to obscure the battle momntarily, due to the multiple explosions, but the smoke quickly left to reveal dismembered and dying mercenaries as the rest were being shot down by the Shiba retinue.
With a loud shout the firing line split to reveal men riding enormous boars followed by samurai and Ashigaru defenders as they charged against what remained of the mercenaries, the first unlucky mercenary was immediately flung into the air by one of the boars flying so far as to fall towards the ground past the wall.
Sighing Byakuya turned away from the battle still raging below and headed towards where his wife and some medics were tending to the wounded, Byaykuya spotted Hisana tending to a wounded soldier as she was bracing a man as he weakly drank from a saucer of water, gently laying the man back down as she placed another wet clothe on the man's forehead.
Hisana herself had stripped off her Onna Bushi armour and had changed into a Yukata but kept her Zanpakuto and Wakazaki strapped to her back as she cared for the wounded.
"It doesnt look good does it my love..." Whispered Byakuya
Hisana hearing her husband swiftly turned around to face her husband as her gentle face had been marred by bloodstains which Hisana hadnt bothered to wipe off due to how busy and stressful last few days had been, before they walked into an empty room meant to have been used as their guest room, Hisana managed a tired smile and answered "These men have so much faith in my little brother, they fully believe that he will come and save them beloved, I too believe in him but..."
"But...?" Asked Byakuya.
"But how long are we gonna hold on there are about twenty thousand men out there, i dont know how long we can hold our ground..." Whispered Hisana sadly.
"Who are you? Where did you take my wife?" Asked Byakuya seriously.
"What are you talking about husband I am your wife!" Hisana angrily answered
"No... You arent my wife... My wife would never give up she would always have faith in people she cares about... So tell me woman, Where is my wife?"
"What are talking about you long haired fool! I am your wife!" Hisana retorted back As she turned away and huffed in annoyance.
Instead of recieving an reply Byakuya had rushed behind Hisana and embraced her waist as he held her close before moving his hands to stroke Hisana's hair "Theres the woman I fell in love with... The most beautiful woman in the world... My short haired beauty..."
Hisana cracked a small smiled before she gently answered back "Hmph! Even in the middle of a siege you can't keep your hands off me husband..."
"Thats your fault for being so beautiful..." Whispered Byakuya lovingly.
Byakuya continued "Besides if we're gonna die here we may as well die in each others arms right?"
Husband and wife held each other giving each other comfort trying to forget that they were in the middle of a huge battle, embracing another they werent outside to see the sudden arrival of Naruto's army.

Meanwhile at the battlements With the Shiba clan members
Meanwhile near the battlements stood three figures, a woman in the middle was desperately trying to reload a carbine with a prosthetic left arm standing to her left and right was two huge men with chinese outfits as both men were busy punching or strangling to death two mercenaries each, the woman finally reloaded her rifle and pointed at another wave of mercenaries preparing to charge.
*BANG!* A small puff of smoke appeared from the muzzle of the rifle as a mercenary went down with a hole in his head as the woman half shouted half laughed "HAHA TAKE THAT YOU BASTARDS!"
*BANG!* *BANG!* Two extra blasts hit two mercenaries dead centre in the chest they were dead before they hit the ground "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR ATTACKING THE SHIBA CLAN!"
*BANG!*BANG!*BANG!*"DIE YOU BITCHES!" *click* "Aww shit its out again?!" As the last of the human wave was finally baring down on the three only for four of the mercenaries to be clotheslined with their throats crushed by the two huge men, as one of them turned towards the woman who had slung her rifle and drew a katana said
"Lady Shiba you really must not use up ammunition so much it does take much effort to make things like carbine shells while on the move." This caused the woman to scold slightly but had to turn her attention back to the two mercenaries in front of her.
The woman with a shout charged at the two men who raised their swords to deflect her sword strike.
*SLASH!* "The first mercenary had raised his sword to stave of the Shiba woman only for the woman to switch her killing strike from a downwards slash to a left slash tearing armour and human flesh in a single slash causing the mercenary to drop his Katana to clutch uselessly at his guts spilling out on the ground before dropping fown on the ground to bleed to death.
The woman huffed in annoyance as she took on her last opponent but stopping slightly before raising her index finger and middle finger before shouting "BAKUDO#1 SAI!"
As if by an invisible force the mercenary's arms was yanked backwards behind his back as the Shiba woman smirked before she menacingly walked towards the mercenary to within kicking distance before the woman performed a sweeping high kick causing the incapacitated mercenary's head to hit the ground heavily before the woman pushed the man to face the woman planting her foot on the man's stomach and stabbing her katana into the man's shoulder before growling as she began to speak "You scum... It was because of you scum that our lands were turned into a living nightmare..."
Before the man could retort the Shiba woman yanked the sword out his shoulder causing the man to scream before clenching his jaws as he growled through clenched teeth "You... You BITCH! Fuck you and your fucking clan! Do you think I give two shits about your fucking life I'm glad the west is like this me and my boys have more profit from dojng what we like... RAPING AND PILLAGING!"
*SLASH* The man's throat was slashed opened causing his lifeblood to spill out as the woman smirked at the dying mercenary "Tell those scum I have sent to hell my name... I AM KUKAKU SHIBA CLANHEAD OF THE SHIBA CLAN AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF DEATH!" The man had widened his eyes at the now name Kukaku Shiba as he gurgled with his last breath as he died.
both of the burly men put one hand on Kukaku's shoulder each as she sighed and looked towards the sky before whispering non-chalantly in a worn out voice "I am so tired of this... All this running... All this misfortions... what have we done to deserve this... No... It was because of Kaien Shiba-sama's kindness and noble heart... Damn you Aizen Sosuke... Damn you to hell..."
Sighing with sadness once again Kukaku turned back towards her two bodyguards with a serious expression "Alright... Give me a status report how much longer can we hold the castle Koganehiko-san?"
Nodding sadly the broad faced of the two men answered shakely "Yes Shiba-sama we had to abandon the lower level of the enemy... They have executed all of their male prisoners... And dumped their corpses over the wall in a pile... the women have been..."
Kukaku narrowes her eyes and asked in a dangerous voice "What. Of. The. Women?"
"The have been stripped... And had a check to find how many were virgins... Those that were... Have been sent to the gold cloaks encampment... While the rest of the women had been ganged raped by the mercenaries within their encampment..." This answer caused Kukaku to clench her fists in rage as she wept at all the innocents that will never be the same again even if they were rescued.
"My lady... Do you think we'll survive this battle?" Asked Koganehiko.
Turning her head away as to not look at her friend and teacher, out of shame, it was her idea as clan head of the Shiba clan to meet with the young lord in hope that her clan can stop being nomads and finally settle down and plant their roots, she was inspired by the stories of such a young man, whose noble heart wanted peace, thus she and her clan came to this place to offer their fielty in exchange for their skills and services be given land to settle her clan.
Looking up with a sad smile Kukaku answered "I hope so my friend i truly hope so..."
These two were so focussed on their conversation that they didnt notice the other twin Shiroganehiko looking with wide eyes to the north as bright lights covered the small ridge to the north of the castle, it was only momentarity before the sounds of thousands of armoured soldiers had appeared Marching out from the lights themselves as the lights faded, the saw a formation of several thousand men with a thick line of perhaps a two thousand men with thick metal shields making up the first two or three ranks.
Turning back towards his brother and mistress Shiroganehiko shouted "BROTHER! MY LADY LOOK! LOOK TO THE NORTH!" Which caught the attention of many of the defenders who rushed to the walls as they watched as a small army numbering about seven thousand strong took up positions along the ridge overlooking the castle and the marshy plains beyond, Kukaku gasped as she could cleaely see that the army seemed to be bathed in golden light as if driving away the shadow of the battlefield itself.
The army had arrived despite being outnumbered stood silently, as a huge wave of thousands of mercenary cavalry led by their employers charged enmass against the army.
*SHINK!* Just as the mercenaries reached the front ranks there seemed to be a burst of something metallic hit the cavalry as horses and men fell in a huge pileup of bodies Just in front of the soldiers themselves similar to her clans riflemen formations.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXZZXXXXXXXXXX
With Yoshimoto Genbu and Kazu Higa
Within the main encampment of the southern Genbu army was man sitting upon a gaudy looking golden throne.
This man's face was painted white as if to imitate a Kabuki mask and a formal kimono as he was grimacing as he was being fanned by a slave girl in her underwear.
Standing nearby was a table with several armoured men discussing something.
most prominant among them was a man in full plate steel armour with a helm at his side, the man's face was young and had a proud look that could make any selfish woman swoon Taking a deep breath the man spoke "Alright is there anyway we can end this siege I wanna return home to my castle, I have a few new slave women I have to break in."
A older looking man in typical gold cloak armour replied "That isnt possible right now and you know it! We've been trying to batter their defences for a few days now and still nothing has changed, we're still stuck in a stalemate even if they did lose the lower levels of the castle we still havent penetrated the citadel yet."
Another gold cloak joined in and said "Perhaps we should keep sending in those mercenaries instead, they've been pretty enthusiastic about fighting anyway so why not, besides they get paid for this type of thing anyway."
The first gold cloak huffed as he answered his companion "We cant do that either, we didnt hire them those pissed off merchants were the ones who hired them, besides if we let the mercs get in first they'll carry away all the potential bitches and take them for themselves."
"Yeah.. Thats true..."
"So then any weaknesses at all?"
"None... They've sealed themselves up like a virgin not wanting to be fucked."
"Ohh just keep throwing Ashigaru at them, we get to enslave those familes that have been killed after this campaign."
"True... Many potential sluts there..."
"How about you lord Genbu? What is your opinion?"
The painted man huffed as he stood up and face the armoured men "YOU SHOULD HAVE LONG SINCE HAVE CAPTURE THIS CASTLE! ITS SIMPLE! KILL EVERYONE! I DONT CARE ABOUT LOSES WE'LL JUST BUY MORE SLAVES TO WORK THE LAND IF ALL OF THEM GET KILLED! I WANT TO GET TO GENBU CITY FIRST! IT IS MG BIRTHRIGHT! THAT BRAT HAS NO RIGHT TO EVEN BE RULING THESE LANDS IN THE FIRST PLACE! I AM THE DESCENDANT OF THE CENTRAL 46 I DESERVE TO RULE WHATEVER I WANT!"
"But sir hundreds will die..."
"AGHH! LIKE I SAID I DONT CARE! I DONT CARE IF ITS THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS THAT DIE! UNLESS A TRUE HEIR TO OTSUTSUKI CROWN POPS OUT OF THIN AIR WHICH I FIND VERY UNFUCKING LIKELY! I AINT MOVING AN INCHE! I HAVE FULL RIGHTS TO THIS LAND! AND WITH MY BROTHER DEAD NOBODY IS GONNA STOP ME!"
"... Yes... My lord..."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXZXXXXXXXXXXXX
Also at the same time with the dirgruntled Ashigaru.
The ashigaru who were force to become meat shields for their noble commanders and officers glared quietly some shaking their heads at the callousness of their 'leaders' throwing them near constantly to weaken the castle defences while the officer gold cloaks laughed and insulted the retreating men calling them cowards for running away, the officers themselves not even to lead from the front.
Within this crowd of growing discontent a small group of ashigaru were crowded around a single individual, many of these men were heavily bandaged or were unconsious from their injuries.
Near the centre a crowd of ashigarus were huddled together surrounding a central male figure in a medative pose whose facial features were obscured by a kasa hat and a cloth covering his face other then his eyes, this figures eyes were closed as he seemed to be concentrating as sweat rolled down his brow before the figure open his eyes to show cerulean blue eyes as he sensed the approach of a gold cloak in the form of the loud creaking of the gold cloaks armour itself approaching the ashigaru who drew back as the gold cloak approached the man before stopping before shouting his orders "ALRIGHT YOU PEASANT SCUM THIS IS THE LAST ATTACK ON THE CASTLE! YOU WILL ACT AS THE FIRST WAVE IF YOU MANAGE TO BREAKTHROUGH YOUR FAMILIES WILL BE SPARED BEING SOLD INTO SLAVERY FOR THOSE WHO DIE!"
There was a pause as the man snickered to himself which didn't go unoticed by those around him before he continued "well... For those of you to die... Be proud that you die for your betters your wives and daughters will make fine bed warmers and your sons fine gold miners..."
"No..."
The gold angrily turned towards the the masked figure as he angrily marched close to him to try to kick him to death for refusing such orders "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME YOU PEASANT SCUM?!"
Raising his covered head to stare at the goldcloaks face caused the man to shiver in fear as the figure replied calmly "You hear me gold cloak, I refuse, why should we die for you? So you could use our deaths as an excuse to take our loved ones into servitude? You have no right to do that and soon you will learn the wrath of thode you have treated as nothing more then plaything... The wrath of a continent worth of prople who demand justice and soon the new lord of Genbu will come to show you retribution for your crimes and your ancestors crimes."
The goldcloak stared down dumbly before his face grew red with rage as he raised his booted foot to kill the insulent peasent "YOU DARE PEASANT! DIE LIKE THE WORTHLESS DIRT AT MY FEET!"
As the foot came down inch by inche at the last moment the figures hand shot up and grabbed the foot with one hand before pushing the man backwards as he was sent toppling onto his armoured back as he struggled to stand the figure slowly stood up as he began to unclasp his Kasa helmet to reveal spikey blonde hair who turned towards the downed gold cloak as he kneeled down before finally removing the cloth to reveal six whiskermarks on his face.
The gold cloak stared in fear the new lord of Genbu Naruto Uzumaki/Otsutsuki had somehow personally infiltrated the Ashigaru ranks and by the look of things had roused the whole entire ashigaru force into rebellion, this goldcloak didnt had much time to think about this as he felt his throat bring slashed opened as the goldcloak began to choke to death on his own blood, the last image this man saw was a demonic creature appearing as a silouette as it hungrily grasped for the gold cloak's very soul.
The shadow clone which this Naruto was smirked as he watched as the gold cloaks scattered among the Ashigaru who were meant to keep order through fear and bullying others below them were being attacked by the enraged Ashigaru stabbing the men to death in their anger as the same group of Ashigaru removed covered packs revealing Naruto's faction flag.
A purple Rinnegan over an orange field surrounded by nine Magatamas while three symbols a two headed trident of the Senju, a red and white fan of the Uchiha and finally an orange whirlpool marked Naruto's ancestry and family just beyond the the nine magatamas as each man unfurled these banners more and more cheers erupted until the shouts were combined to shake the ground itself, it was filled with anger, anger that was hidden for years, rage as the Ashigarus knew that they can finally kill their oppressors and as one charged straight for the stunned enemy encampment of Yoshimoto Genbu.
The enemy itself was disorganised, as at the same time Yoshimoto Genbu and Kazu Higa watched as at the same time as the Ashigaru's attacked their entire cavalry mercenaries were massacred and were soon sweeping down upon them from the ridge itself.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXZXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Upon the ridge upon the army's arrival A few minutes before the cabalry enters killzone.
The soldier's marched out of the Senkaimon all hearing the orders from their lord with the shield bearers forming a solid ranks as the rest of the army arrived behind the screen of steel as those men Naruto had decided to bring along to this deployment zone arrived soon after Naruto had arrived alongside Tenten, Fuu and Yoruichi as he watch as Maito Gai was directing troops to their positions behind the shield wall as a rapidly advancing cloud of dust indicated that the enemy had charged with their cavalry hoping to overrun the relatively small army before Naruto's army got organised.
Yoruichi who was observing the troop movements turned towards Naruto as she asked "Um naruto-sama? Where are the rest of the troops I count only seven thousand soldiers here and no cavalry what happened to the rest of the army?"
"Actually its more like six thousand"
Yoruichi snapped her head towards Naruto so fast That her long hair whipped her face as she stared aghast at the calm expression Naruto had before she shouted "WHAT?! Where is the rest of the army? Arent they meant to be here to help us?!"
Naruto just crossed his hands and smiled before answering Yoruichi "They are where they need to be dont worry, I gave all the commanders specific instructions on where they are to deploy and when they'd join in the battle..."
Shaking her head Yoruichi replied "But we were so heavily outnumbered already! Splitting up our forces would allow the enemy to destroy us piecemeal... Please tell Uzumaki-sama me you have a backup plan in case this battle is lost..."
"I dont need one Shihoin-san I know I'm gonna win this battle and yes I do have a backup plan... Well actually I have several to counter them so dont worry." Answered Naruto confidently.
Naruto looked at the fully formed battle lines and nodded satisfied before Naruto turned towards Yoruichi with a smile "Besides... you have never seen what a Tsurukame shield is capable of have you?" Yoruichi shook her head before Naruto nodded and placed his helmet on his head before he continued "With those shields... They will not be able to get close enough to our battlelines to do any damage... because they would already be turned into human pincushions."
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he could clearly now see a mismatched horde of horsemen charging towards him among them being a large number of golden clad soldiers causing Naruto to smirk as Naruto waited patiently to allow the enemy cavalry to get within the killing range of the Tsurukame volleys he would ensure that they would be entirely wiped out before he enacted phase two of his battle strategy.
Naruto raised his hand as he gave the signal to draw bows and for the Tsurukame soldiers to double check that their weapons were loaded.
The officers moved up and down the line checking and making sure nobody was struggling before Naruto nodded to the expectant officers who shouted after recieving the nod "SHIELD BEARERS! ARCHERS! PREPARE TO FIRE ON SIGNAL!" The soldiers braced their shields for the expected shock to ensure there wasnt any weaknesses along the line that the enemy could exploit.
Naruto drew out a small flare gun and loaded a green ball into the chamber as he raised it high above his head calmly before he noted that the cavalry were within the killzone as he grinned and squeezed the trigger.
*BANG* The flare shot up high and exploded with a load bang as green smoke signalled the barrage of steel.
"FIRE!" *CHINK!CHINK!CHINK!* As the soldiers activated their Tsurukame's firing mechanism releasing their deadly rain of steel and the archers released their arrows their projectiles glinting and shimmering but so small that there was no chance of the cavalry to stop as the cavalry raised small shields to stop The arrows about to rain above them none paid attention to the silent metal storm of death coming from right in front of the calvalry
*THUD!THUD!THUD!* The first horsemen to be struck bore the brunt of the attack as both horse an(d man fell with a huge amount of poisoned senbon completely covered the front of the mercenary like pincushions most died before they hit the ground for some this small mercy wasnt afforded as men were thrown screaming from their horses to break their necks upon the ground while others who had survived from falling off their horse were themselves trampled by those who were still blindly charging ahead.
Back with Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto stared wide eyed as his mercenary allies was cut down before they even reach the line.
A shout from nearby caused his head to turned as his face turned into a grimace as he watched his slave Ashigaru hack down and mob their Gold cloak enforcers as the few who escaped were now at that moment trying to meet up with the rest of the goldcloaks and the remaining mercenaries.
Grabbing Kazu Higa and angrily pointing at the Ashigaru Yoshimoto angrily shouted "LOOK AT THEM HIGA! THOSE IGNORANT FOOLS ARE REVOLTING AGAINST THEIR PROPER LIEGE LORD!"
"And what do you want me to do about it?"
"KILL THEM OF COURSE! USE YOUR CATAPHRACTS! SHATTER THEM!"
"My lord you dont seem to understand that if I and my Cataphracts were to charge into that crowd we would be dragged off our horses after the initial charge we'd be swamped by sheer numbers alone... No its better to get ready to make a mass breakout and try to retreat back to our territory."
"FINE! BUT EXPECT A REPRIMAND AND A CONFISCATION OF YOUR FAVOURITE SLAVE WHORES AS CONPENSATION FOR THIS... SCREW UP!"
"Fine... I'd rather give you some second hand goods then kill myself trying to stop an unstoppable tide."
With that Yoshimoto Genbu retreated to his tent bumping into a craftsman with with blue eyes, and dull-pink hair which is styled into the shape of a cherry blossom.
Yoshimoto glared as the craftsman bowed his head Yoshimoto haughtily said "Foolish slave, this Kimono is worth more than you every will, I would punish you but taking your eife or your daughter as a bed warmer but Im in the middle of something, I will remember you though, nobody bumps into me without punishment."
"Yes... Master..."
(A/N dum dum dum guess who this guy is)
Back with with Yoruichi and Naruto
Yoruichi watched in awe as wave after wave of enemies fell creating a carpet of corpses both man and horse, she watched as not one horseman got to within striking range of the foot soldiers as the troops continued to fire volley after volley at those who were trying to stand up were struck down by small concentrated burst of metal or arrows.
Yoruichi turned towards Naruto and gasped as he was now in his gold chakra cloak with his eyes closed and arms crossed as if deep in thought Yoruichi turned towards Tenten and and Fuu who also had their eyes closed, after the last of the screaming cries of the dying finally ended Naruto opened his eyes to survey the massacre which caused Yoruichi to widen her eyes as she watched his rinnegan eyes glare down at the corpses before Naruto spoke "See Shihoin-san none shall pass..."
Naruto turned towards the kneeling samurai and Ashigaru behind him as he drew the Raijin No Ken raised it above his head quickly turned and pointed the electrified sword at the enemy encampment "You see there soldiers the enemy cowers behind their walls like a bunch of pathetic pricks after we turned their little mercenary army into human pincushions!"
Almost immmediately the whole crowd wholeheartedly"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Naruto smiled at the reaction he recieved before he continued "No... But really I hate those shits I will personally be leading you so show me what western samurai are made of! show me that you can kill a ton of mercenaries before you go down!"
There was more laughter from the samurai and giggling from the Onna-boshi present as each nudged and joked"Still though be careful stand together we do not fight for ourselves but for our loved ones the first phase of the plan is over the second phase will depend on you my brave samurai!"
Naruto grinned ferally as each soldier burst into chakra cloaks of golden chakra while Tenten and Yoruichi had also ignited while Fuu herself formed her own cloak eith her Bijuu assisting, Naruto got into a stance as he prepared to speed towards the enemy encampment, smirking a moment later as he looked towards the western part of the battlefield where the forests lay came his other troops led by Anko and Sentaro along with a enormous purple snake at the head charging straight towards the main encampment howling as they went.
Noticing that the samurai had seal their encampment and raised a white flag of surrender over their central tower and the Ashigarus rioting caused Naruto to smirk as he gave one final order to his men"NOW IS THE TIME SOLDIERS! SPARE THOSE SAMURAI AND ASHIGARU WHO SURRENDER BUT KILL ALL THE MERCENARIES AND GOLD CLOAKS SHOW NO MERCY! I WANT KAZU HIGA AND YOSHIMOTO GENBU'S HEADS!"
With the shield bearers strapping their shields on their back many drew Yari spears or Katanas as the crowd of men and women cheered from a distance the snake led cavalry smash into the rear of the southern Genbu army, three thousand horsemen slammed into a rearguard madeup of only drunk and underprepared mob of mercenaries and so called noble slavers while circumventing the surrendered samurai encampment.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto with a mighty roar charged followed closely by his officers he could see Maito Gai and Lee wielding a Nunchaku and a collapsible spear respectively to his right and closer still Tenten had the two Kiba blades drawn in anticpation of the first kill.
To his left Yoruichi was wielding a Katana her seemingly thin orange shinobi combat uniform her eyes having become focussed at the task at hand Which was to kill her enemies and survive
Using his Rinnegan Naruto saw that the forces forming up had far too many archers, deciding that it was finally time to use the haraishin, Naruto removed one from a bracer containment seal before sending the Haraishin Kunai flying towards a mounted gold cloak striking him in the skull as the man was falling off his horse Naruto smirking before shouting "HARAISHIN!"
Naruto vanished in a flash of lightning before appearing behind the surprised enemy kicking the horseman off performing an attack similar to Gai and Lees Dynamic entry attack completely shattering the mans skull inside his helmet before landing on the ground who only had a split second before Naruto's eye glowed as he sent a small amount of chakra(compared to his usual output) before Naruto whispered "Shinra... Tensei"
A explosion of force created a small crater 100meters wide crushing the mercenaries within the epicentre were crushed with so much force that not even their armour had survived the explosive force of Naruto's attack while even those out of the immediate blast had been flung like ragdolls landing on their ally's weapons and even shattering the Yumi longbows that were about to be used to fire arrows, all in all the battleline had been shattered while further away men clutched at their ears, eardrums blown from just air pressure from the blast alone.
Naruto standing on the crater floor smirked as he prepared to fling more Haraishin Kunai in all direction summoning six clones and handing one Kunai each before shouting and throwing their Kunai simontaneously "KAGE KUNAI BUNSHIN!" What had been six Kunai multiplied into sixty in a blink of an eye each kunai peppering those few mercenaries and goldcloaks that lived just beyond crater range, most of the Kunai meeting a target while others landed on the ground harmlessly and dispelling themselves.
Naruto motioned for his shadow clones to assist his troops who were in the middle of a melee.
Drawing one kunai in each hand Naruto while Naruto igniting Raijin no Ken and his shadow clones rushed off towards the main battle lines jumping into combat and slashing any mercenary or goldcloak that got in their way, Naruto himself flanked by two shadow clones on each side forming what was essentially a human lawn mower.
Naruto's finally after slashing down another mercenary saw Tenten and Fuu fighting back to back as both moved in unison as they were surrounded by eight mixed group of opponents before Tenten smirked and said "Well... Looks like some bastards wanna start on little old us... Shall we obliged them Fuu-san?"
Fuu for her part stood at the ready answered Tenten's question "Well Ten-san if they feel like being torn to human sashimi fine by me..."
Their opponents glowered at the two young girls and in a disorganised wave launched their attack.
*SLASH**SLASH* two men fell with their stomaches sliced open as Tenten and Fuu spun around and stop two swordsman each blocked by the two young women as these men were knocked back
Both turned towards each other, as Fuu smiled at Tenten who had draw a kunai before just flinging the kunai at a target behind Fuu just as a goldcloak was coming for a sneak attack both smirked at eachother before each girl felt Naruto approaching.
Naruto was calmly walking up to his beloved fiancees and lovingly said "You two did great... Ten-chan, Fuu-chan..."
"Naruto-koi..." *Whack* Unsurprisingly Naruto received a two slaps in the face by both women.
Tubbing his cheeks Naruto asked" Ow! What was that for?"
Tenten angrily answered "BECAUSE! you sped ahead of the rest of the army you shouldnt do that at all."
Fuu also angrily answered as well "What if you had died in the middle of all of that do you think me and Ten-chan would be happy."
Naruto retorted "Look Ten-chan, Fuu-chan I had to do it if I didnt we would have lost a huge amount of men to oncoming arrow fire and I couldnt have that."
"So you rushed ahead instead!"
Naruto nodded "Yes and I'd do it again if I have to..."
Tenten huffed and replied "fine... But at least next time bring me and Fuu-chan along with you..."
"Yes dear I promise..."
Drawing his breathe to shout out a command "COMMANDERS GATHER TO ME!"
Both young women smiled at Naruto before each of the commanders gathered around him.
First to arrive was Lee and Gai dropping down both grinning like mad closely followed by a bloodied Yoruichi her eyes still not comprehending that her new masters plans were going exactly as planned.
Not that Yoruichi complained it was nice that for once things are going very nicely.
The next batch of commanders to arrive was Anko riding on the head of Aoba alongside the excited looking Kentaro Kotsubaki who seemed about to be on the verge of laughing his ass off.
The lesser officers that werent engaged at the moment gathered nearby also, coming from the now seething mass of rampaging Ashigaru came the Naruro shadow clone and two Ashigaru on holding Naruto's new banner as they also knelt down to await instructions.
Naruto watched as the troops massed just beyond arrow fire range of the enemy palisades, Nodding satisfied Naruto turned to the shadow clone and Ashigaru first.
First to speak was the Ashigaru holding the banner "My lord Otsutsuki, we the soldiers of southern Genbu have succeeded in freeing ourselves of those goldcloak scum and are now yours to command... Just please keep your promise... Help us free our homes of the scum that survive this battle..."
Naruto smiled as he went on his knees and put his arm to the Ashigaru's shoulder "I will never allow innocent people to continue to suffer not if I can help it... Even if you didnt agree to join us at the very least... I would have marched my armies to free you anyway... I promise once this battle is over I will send any available troops to assist you To free your homes."
Naruto smiled as he got up and faced his shadow clone who nodded as it burst in a puff of smoke.
Naruto closed his eyes and quickly analysed all the information gathered by his shadow clone.
Naruto had to say... They made one huge amount of effort to fortify the fuck out of that hill, double palisades, spike traps, trenches filled with sharpened tree branches, plus, a single close range prototype mortar with a shitty range comparable to arrow range 'hmm... I have to do something extremely stupid again huh? Ohh well I need to test my Susano... Fuu-chan and Ten-chan are gonna kill me...'
A soldier looked towards the castle and shouted to get Naruto's attention "UZUMAKI-SAMA THE CASTLE GATES ARE OPENING!"
Indeed the gates opened to reveal a man and a woman riding ahead of a sizeble group, using his eyes Naruto immediately spotted his Hisana-nee and smiled "LET THEM PASS!"
Passing through the Ashigaru who now had torn pieces of orange cloth on some part of their uniform gave way to allow Hisana, Byakuya and Ikkaku followed closely by her bodyguards.
Even in the midst of an ongoing battle Naruto had a air of calm around him relaxing many people walking slowly towards Hisana and her group, all those could feel it in every step Naruto made was full of power before stopping at a few feet away "Hisana-nee... I'm so happy your alright, your just in time for the final push, just stand there and relax while I go smash down those palisades to minimise casualties, I promise when this is over them we can all celebrate..."
Turning his head slightly Naruto spotted a gatehouse where a line of archers were cutting down wave after wave of Ashigaru that were attempting to storm it, deciding that this is where he'd smash his way through, smiling to Tenten and Fuu beside him his eyes shifted into evolved Rinnegan as he grabbed Tenten and Fuu as a White cloak form formed around him growing into a humanoid form before Naruto shouted with a grin.
"SUSANOO!"
First to emerge was a silhouette of golden fire and growing from this silhouette emerged a full skeleton to cover the astonished Tenten and Fuu alongside a smirking Naruto at the centre of it, the silhouette grew brighter as flesh grew on the bones.
As the flesh finally finished growing golden armour encomposed the body with its left hand grew huge ethereal prayer beads that looked like a whole necklace of Rasengan strung together, while on the right was a Kusari-gama shimmering with a single Magatama symbol imbedded into the blade.
Naruto's soldiers and the enemy momentarily stopped their fighting as all watched in awe at the sight, some men like, like Yoshimoto was cowering under his chair As Naruto began to direct his killing intent to stun the emcampment defenders.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A great roar spread across the whole battlefield adding even more to the enemies loss of morale.
"DO NOT INTERFERE UNTIL I HAVE SMASHED DOWN THOSE GATES I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOU GETTING IN THE CROSSFIRE UNDERSTOOD?"
"Yes My lord!"
With Kazu Higa
Kazu Higa stared at the glowing giant as it charge towards the weakest point of their defences pushing aside any resistance it came across.
"DAMMIT! Shit we need to get ready to repel that thing, guess I will die today... FINE! One final charge for Kazu Higa!"
Higa's words were drowned out as the gate house shattered to pieces, grimly tightening his helmet, he turned toward his horn blower to sound the charge.
Back with Naruto
Moving forward at first a walk quickly speeding up into a full scale run towards the cowering goldcloaks and mercenaries Naruto alongside his fiancees protected by his Susano Slammed into the enemies.
*SWOOP* the first swing ot the Kusari-gama threw aside those in front of Naruto, so already being slashed apart, but Naruto ignored these as Naruto's susano was carving through the defenders like hot knife through butter.
In no time at all Naruto had reached the gates while coming under attack from the panicking archers, Naruto smirked feeling his determined loved ones beside him and within him Naruto's Susano lifted the prayer bead and swung them down on the gate causing the gate along with the archers still on the wall to fly inwards landing on tents or those behind the gate itself.
Smirking Naruto turned towards his troops and shouted "ATTACK!"
With another great shout the army surged forward at the same time charging towards the now destroyed gate house as the disorganised army was soon being cut down, nothing would stop them, this was not only a validation of their trust in their new lord who showed that he would keep his promise no matter how bad the situation he would pull them through as best as possible.
From within a horn blew as the sounds of fully armoured hooves galloping was heard Naruto smirked as the last resort the Cataphracts were making a last charge.
Naruto focussed his chakra to his eyes before he shouted "AMATERASU: BEAM!"
A thin line of concentrated black flame sliced through the Cataphracts cutting thosw in front in half and decapitating horses as those behind were lit on fire by the unquenchible flame of the sun goddess herself, bursting from of the flames was a single armoured man whose whole suit was being engulfed in flames swinging a melting No-Dachi.
Naruto allowed the sword to come within striking distance before Naruto caught the blade with his thumb before Naruto smirked at the dying man and said "Dont think for a second your blade could kill me, it will take more than a sword to kill me."
Deftly pushing the man he fell onto his back unable to get up as he screamed "NO! NO! ITS ALL WRONG! IM NOT MEANT TO DIE YOU WERE! AHHHHHHHHHH!"
The man was burnt to ash the very armour itself melting into a pool of molten metal, finally after a few more moments Naruto dispelled his Ameterasu flames while also simultaneously cooling the melted metal rapidly his men were now rushing pass attacking any remaining defenders left, Naruto, Fuu and Tenten made a beeline to his final destination in the middle of the encampment: Yoshimoto Genbu's tent Killing anyone who resisted along the way.
Unknown to all three the same craftsman observed them through the chaos and whispered "Naruto..."
Naruto, Fuu and Tenten finally cutting down the last few guards blocking their way into the main tent where all three stopped just within its threshold, taking a short while to observe the contents of the tent.
Fuu blurted exactly what all three were thinking at the same time "Wow... This bastards didnt bring a tent... He brought a house!"
Tenten also added in her own opinion "Yeah look at this fucking place such lavish trappings for a military campaign so many thing uneeded, I can understand the table and bed, Thats a given, but a buffet table? And a fountain flowing with wine? Heck I'd bet he had slaves that died lugging this crap around!"
Naruto didnt answer instead merely picked a golden, diamond studded wine cup Naruto's face turned into a snarl as he threw the cup away.
This caused something to yelp in surprise under some sheets.
Naruto moving quickly grabbed the sheets and pulled to find himself coming face to face with Yoshimoto Genbu himself, waving a Wakazaki blade in front of him trying to ward away Naruto, Yoshimoto was so focussed on Naruto that he didnt see Tenten throw a kunai impaling his hand and also dropping the blade.
Taking advantage of the moment Naruto moved to hit Yoshimoto with a haymaker causing to him to fly back onto the ground knocked out.
Naruto clapping his hands as if to dust himself off jokingly asked "Hmm that was easy..."
Tenten moved past Naruto as she removed her Kunai as she used the fat lords clothes to clean off the blade commenting "Hmm... This is really expensive silk this Kimono is made of and so gaudy as well... Disgusting!"
Fuu joined in and asked "Umm... Naruto-koi what do we do with him?"
Naruto didnt even flinch as he made his decision "As this man had cuased many people great suffering it is only justified that those same people who have suffered be the ones who shall met out due punishment for his many crimes."
Naruto created two shadow clones that carried the unconsious lord as Naruto and his fiancees emerged from the Tent amid the last few moments of of battle as he watched lone desparate mercenaries and goldcloaks be swarmed as even the camp slaves joined in the massacre.
a little distance away sat Lee and Gai chatting with Anko and Yoruichi with a laughing Kentaro all around them were small piles of corpses who if he correctly guess had attempted to swarm the powerful commanders only to be ripped to pieces.
Naruto activating the Raijin raised the blade high above his head and shouted "VICTORY WE HAVE VICTORY!"
Many enthusiastic Ashigaru and Samurai that had banners were waving them amid the cheers and the dying screams of their enemies.
Each mercenary, each goldcloak that was hacked down was done so with elation and vindication, long hidden anger and helpless frustration gave way to righteous rage, those who were present knew it deep in their hearts it was the dawn of new era.
Of prosperity Unseen for a decade.
Of Justice long overdue.
Of empathy long hidden away.

Several hours later after the battle of Nagashino officially ended
Naruto was reading reports and debriefings alongside Tenten and Fuu with Yoruichi standing nearby when a samurai ran in and knelt while taking deep breathes which caused Naruto to look up from a report about food supplies for the Ashigaru.
Naruto got up and put his hand on the samurais shoulder and said "Alright, alright take a few deep breathes before you talk you may end up choking on your own tongue."
A few more breathes and a drink from his own canteen finally allowed the Samurai to relay what he had to say "Uzumaki-sama a freed slave is causing a ruckus when he refused to let anyone touch his wife and duaghter for medical checkups sir, he's already beaten up four samurai and two medics and is demanding that you come and speak to him sir."
"So he wants reassurances that my medics arent gonna do anything harmful to his family?"
"Ye.. yes sir."
Naruto nodded and said "Ok you are dismissed go get yourself something to eat and drink while I go and sort this guy out alright?"
"The samurai nodded wearily as he walked out towards where the food was being served as Naruto grabbed his cloak and turned tk Tenten and Fuu who were by now sound asleep with Tenten herself having a scroll covering her eyes as she slept, stopping a moment to kiss each girl in the lips before heading out.
Naruto turned to Yoruichi who immediately knew it was a signal to follow him.
Naeuro leaving his tent turned towards the guards and gestured for them and promptly gave his orders "Ok you two remain here when either Tenten-san or Fuu-san wake up tell them I went to sort out some problem that needed my attention understood?"
Both men saluted and replied "Yes my lord!"
Yoruichi then asked while they were walking "My lord where are we going?"
Naruto without stopping answered "I need to meet some man whose having a fit about anybody touching his family I going there to reassure him and anybody else who has doubts that I aint tolerating any bullshit from my own soldiers and medics due to misconduct."
Yoruichi nodded understanding completely, even happy people need to be reassured by the one in power that they werent gonna be treated badly from those stronger then them, especially those who had as just recently been freed from a lifetime of constant abuse.
Walking off towards the area dedicated to the newly freed slaves, Naruto and Yoruichi only needed to follow the noise of a large scuffle to find exactly who they was looking for.
Spotting a hooded man punch a Samurai in the stomache before promptly kicking the Samurai away, around them there was shouting as a crowd had gathered to watch the fight.
Naruto decided to get everyones attention shouted "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!"
The shouting promptly stopped before he made his way towards the crowd who made way for him and Yoruichi, kneeling down he checked his samurai who groaned as he came to, which caused Naruto to pat the man on his armoured chest as he looked at the cloaked man before addressing him "Alright I just came from a really, Really busy few hours of paperwork so you better explain to me why the hell are beating up my men when they were only trying to help you."
The man instead of answering raised his right hand hand removed the hood, revealing the man with the cherry blossom shaped hair which caused Naruto to widen his eyes and whisper "Kizashi-Ojisan...what?... how?"
Kizashi meekly smiled at Naruto and answered "I was a skilled slave I guess..."
Before Naruto could reply two female voices were heard as a woman and a girl about one year younger than Naruto rushed out "HUSBAND!" "DAD!"
The woman despite the rags that constituted clothes for a slave had her hair was covered with a dirty bandana but the strands showing blonde hair underneath Naruto once again could only whisper "Mebuki-Obachan..."
Then looking towards the last figure caused Naruto to widen his eyes even further a pink haired girl was looking at Naruto with a confused look in her eyes "Naruto-nii?"
Naruto was staring directly at a person who by circumstances shouldnt even be here a girl infamous for her borderline obsession with Sasuke Uchiha.
Sakura Haruno...
The real Sakura Haruno...
