The Shinobi Hunter: Invasion
By gorutovssageta
"I-Is he awake?" The sound of Anko's voice woke me up from my slumber.
"What's going on?" I asked groggily as I rubbed my forehead gingerly.
"You got hit by Kakashi's Lightning Blade," Haku answered as she placed a wet rag on my forehead. "You've had a slight fever, but it's gone down since your wound began to regenerate."
"My wound…?" I lifted up my shirt, revealing my chest, which didn't even show a scratch. "So he did heal me…"
"Who's he?" Anko asked as I waved off the question.
"Never mind that, where is Itachi?" I asked as I scanned the area.
"He left about an hour ago," Haku answered as she handed me my Akatsuki cloak. "He said it would be best if he went ahead while you recovered."
"Only thing is, the bastard stole the map right from under my nose," Anko grumbled. "When I went to retrieve it from my coat pocket, it was gone."
"What about Kakashi and that other asshole?" I asked as I pulled on my Akatsuki cloak over my red t-shirt.
"Itachi left them both under a genjutsu," Haku answered. "He said the chances of their survival is low at best. So I don't think we'll need to worry about them anymore."
"Damn, I missed all the fun," I remarked as I stood up from the blanket I was laying on, stretching out a bit. "All right, I'm back to 100 percent. We should head toward the village for now, try to figure out where Konan and her group went off to. Even though she's a double crossing bitch, we need to find a way to get back into the action."
"Agreed, I'm ready to go," Haku answered as I flashed her a curious glance.
"I thought you couldn't fight because of Anko's chakra zapper thing?" I asked as I shot a sideway glance at Anko. "Actually, I'm pretty sure it's been three hours, shouldn't you be dead?"
"Anko gave me the antidote after we took care of Kakashi," Haku answered as I grinned broadly, Haku now giving me the curious expression. "What?"
"Nothing, I didn't know you two were friends now," I answered innocently as I tried to hold back my laughter.
"Watch it demon boy," Anko growled in my ear as she passed me, walking down the path toward the village.
"Whatever," I remarked as my grin decreased to a small smile.
As Danzo and his team scanned the Forest of Death, he spotted the body of an unknown shinobi located just a few meters ahead.
"Sir, we've located another fallen Leaf shinobi!" an ANBU member shouted as he carried over the limp body of Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke Uchiha… is he alive?" Danzo asked as he eyed the boy almost hungrily.
"Barely sir, but he should be able to pull through…" the ANBU member stated as Danzo's visible eye narrowed. He leapt backwards as several paper shuriken bombs littered the ground from the sky, causing a massive explosion. Several ANBU were caught in the explosion as Danzo managed to escape, taking cover in a nearby tree. He tried to scan through the smoke as a clay bird flew at him, Danzo doing an front flip to avoid the bird, which crashed into the tree. As the bird made contact with the tree, it exploded, causing Danzo to use the Substitution Jutsu to escape from damage. As Danzo replaced himself with a log, he reappeared below where the tree exploded, a kunai concealed in his palm.
"Show yourself, if you aren't afraid," Danzo announced as a snicker was heard in response. Danzo's eye widened as Kisame ran out from a clearing, his sword in his palm. Danzo began to dodge all of Kisame's quick slashes, all aimed at his chest. Danzo managed to dodge each while leaping backward to keep distance from himself and Kisame. Kisame let out a primal roar as he swung at the old man furiously, which Danzo managed to block using his kunai. The sword quivered as it made contact with Danzo's kunai, which seemed to be on the verge of breaking in half. Danzo gritted his teeth as Kisame began to chuckle, forcing the war hawk on his knees now. Danzo rolled to the left as soon as he heard the sound of his kunai breaking under the tremendous pressure, Kisame's sword implanting itself into the ground where Danzo once kneeled. Danzo began to wrap the bandages around his other eye, but was interrupted by another barrage of paper birds, which were this time mixed with several clay birds as well. Danzo began to sway from each bird as they entered his radius, each bird turning around as it missed Danzo, Danzo glanced to the back of him as he seen the birds turning around, the war hawk glancing forward as well to see the other birds still coming at him from that side as well. Danzo jumped into the sky as soon as both sets of birds entered his radius, causing all of the birds to explode in a massive explosion. Danzo covered his face with his sleeve as Konan and Deidara appeared to both his left and his right side.
"Who are you people?" Danzo asked as Konan and Deidara both did not respond.
"What's the point of you knowing who were are when you're gonna die?" Kisame asked from the ground as Danzo glared at him with his visible eye.
"I will not die to either of you scum," Danzo remarked angrily as he made several hand signs. "Wind Release: Vaccum Great Sphere!" Danzo sent this stream of pressurized wind at both Deidara and Konan, Deidara's body melting as Konan's body was sliced in half, bits of paper falling from the wound.
"Katsu!" Deidara shouted as he detonated his clay clone, causing it to explode alongside Konan's paper clone, who she also caused to explode at the same moment. The explosion looked like a air strike as Danzo's body was enveloped in the great attack.
"It took you both that long to kill a geezer?" Kisame asked with a smirk as Deidara hmphed slightly.
"I didn't see you doing anything relevant Kisame-sama, hm?" Deidara answered as he crossed his arms across his chest.
"He's not dead…" Konan announced as she glared at the clearing sky, where Danzo was supposedly destroyed.
"But… how?" Deidara wondered as Danzo fell to the ground on both feet before Konan and Deidara. His clothes were torn, his arms and legs now revealed as well as the hidden part of his face. In his arms were several Sharingans, one of them closed.
"He's a Sharingan user," Deidara remarked as he glared at the war hawk. "I hate the Sharingan. Konan-sama, let me kill him, hm?"
"Wait, he's no ordinary shinobi," Konan answered as she analyzed the man. "He shouldn't had survived that last attack, but somehow he managed to divert it while his body was still in the explosion."
"That isn't possible, is it Konan?" Deidara asked as Konan did not say a word. "Damn this old man…"
"You should run while you still can," Danzo warned as he prepared to battle the Akatsuki. "This is not a battle you will win. Even if I am outmatched, I will not fall to the likes of you."
"Let's go…" Deidara began as Konan placed her hand on his shoulder.
"No, we'll retreat for now," Konan instructed as Deidara tsked angrily. "We need to focus on the task at hand. A full fledged battle was not what we were looking for. All of the other nuisances have been disposed of. We'll kill this one another day."
"Fine…" Deidara grumbled as Konan glanced at Danzo, who was glaring at her. Konan body flickered alongside Kisame and Deidara from the area, leaving Danzo alone in the Forest of Death, alone. Or so he thought, Danzo glancing over to see that Sasuke Uchiha was still on the ground, underneath a dead ANBU member. Danzo pulled the ANBU member off Sasuke's body as he pressed two fingers against Sasuke's neck, checking his pulse. Still alive.
"You're a tough one, aren't you?" Danzo murmured as he stared at Sasuke's closed eyes. "Your Sharingan…"
"Lord Danzo sir?" an ANBU member asked as the reinforcements arrived from the village. Danzo glanced up at him, aware that his Sharingan secret was revealed for the ANBU to see. But it was of no huge harm, due to the curse seal placed on every ANBU members tongue in his supervision.
"Take this boy back to the village," Danzo ordered as he passed Sasuke to another ANBU member. "I will be back as soon as I wrap up here."
"Yes sir!" the ANBU shouted as they took Sasuke back to the village, leaving Danzo alone once again.
"I will find out about that organization," Danzo vowed to himself as he looked up at the sky. "I will not forgive them for this…"
So how was it? I just wanted to explain a few things for anyone who wanted to know about this: Yes, Naruto did see his canon self, but it will NOT have nothing to do with the story, they're won't be no crossover or nothing like that. It was for a reason, but it won't be explained for a WHILE. I've been thinking, would everyone like to see Kushina in the harem? I mean I've been asked a few times, so I mean if you'd like to see it, please tell me. I'll be placing a poll on my page when this chapter is released, so vote if that's what you'd like to see. Till then, later for now!
