Ninja Taki was enjoying his day patrolling alongside the border of Konoha and Kusa. He had spent the morning on patrol throughout the woods and caught a squirrel that he was for sure going to cook for lunch. Food was hard to come by on the border, and he was stationed there for 2 more months before he could go back and taste the real food that Konoha had to offer. Sitting within the four legged watchtower he felt his stomach grumble.
"Stop that." His companion turned towards him. "You're making me hungry too".
"It's not my fault Kaito, I'm just so hungry!" His stomach grumbled again, shaking the tower.
"Holy shit you're shaking the fucking tower, stop thinking about food and keep on the lookout!" Kaito turned back around towards the forest. Channeling his chakra he reached out towards the security seals placed throughout the trees. None seemed to have been disturbed. He felt more rumbling. He turned around "Taki I swear to God-" Kaito turned to see the face of a gigantic earth dragon heading towards them.
"DOTON: DORYUUDAN NO JUTSU!"
The top half of the watch tower was obliterated by the jutsu, sending both the ninja flying across the forest with the debris. Kaito skidded across the forest floor. He was bleeding from the forehead, and he couldn't move his right arm. "Shit. Must be broken." He thought to himself. Rising up he looked out at the dust cloud that had once been the watchtower. Three figures came out from underground, surveying the damage. Using his left arm Kaito placed a kunai between his teeth and tagged it with an explosive note. Taking it out of his mouth he threw it at the figures and immediately jumped towards a nearby branch. The explosion rocked the forest, setting the surrounding trees on fire. He saw a bleeding Taki lying on the ground a few yards away.
"Fuck! I gotta get to him!" Kaito jumped off the branch and ran towards him. Grabbing his prone partner he dashed behind a nearby tree and inspected his injuries. Taki's head had been split open and he was bleeding profusely. "I don't know any medical jutsu..." Kaito thought in despair. He attempted to put pressure the wound. Taki was bleeding all over him. Cradling his dying partner's head in his arms he knew that he was a goner. Suddenly the tree behind him was pulled out with it's roots.
"Wha?" Kaito turned his head.
A gigantic man stood behind him, cradling the tree like a club.
"Like a bug." He said in a deep voice. He raised the tree and brought it down. The last thing Kaito saw was the gleam of the sun on the man's headband.
"Iwa..." He thought to himself. Suddenly the world went dark.
Naruto stood within his lab, tinkering with his new invention. For some reason the schematics had shown that the weapon would be able to absorb jutsu or elements in some way, however he still had no idea how to do it. Throwing huge amounts of wind bullets seemed to do the trick before but the same strategy wasn't working anymore. He had even tried learning other elemental jutsu to throw at it but it seemed that only Fuuton had worked so far.
"This Dr. Wily dude has some problems explaining shit." He thought to himself. He had been tinkering with the damn thing for the past two weeks and still nothing was working. The computer at the center of his room beeped.
"Yes Yukino?"
"Hi Naruto! Kakashi-san is here and he says you guys have a mission. Told you to meet him at the gate in 20 minutes."
"Got it! Thanks!" He disconnected the call and went back to his work table. "Looks like it's time for a test run." He pressed a button on the Uzumaki Cannon and it reverted itself back into it's silver knuckle form. Putting the knuckles on his hand he picked up a travel bag from the supply closet and walked out of the lab.
The mission was supposed to be simple. Three days of travel time towards a small town close to the Kusa-Konoha border that had been having bandit issues. Kakashi was sure his team could handle it. It was for sure not going to be another one of those Wave missions. As they approached the town they noticed something was wrong.
"Uhm...Sensei" Sakura piped in.
"Yes Sakura?"
"Is the town supposed to be...destroyed?"
"No Sakura. No it isn't." Kakashi immediately was on alert. That had been a town of at least two to three hundred people. There seemed to be no survivors. "Diamond formation, Sakura, Sasuke on the sides, Naruto on the rear. Follow me." Team 7 walked closer to the entrance. The gate had been smashed with what looked like mud. Signs of Earth jutsu were all over the town.
"Fuck. Iwa is making another move? How come Jiraiya didn't know about this?" Kakashi thought to himself. He moved his hand towards his kunai pouch. "Something feels off." He heard a wire snap.
"EVERYONE DOWN!" He dove into his team bringing them all to the floor. Huge explosions rang out throughout the town. Sitting up he began sealing. "Doton: Doryuu Heki!" (Earth style Wall) and brought up a barrier between them and the chaos within the town. As the explosions died down he peeked out from the side of the wall. The trap had destroyed the entire center of the town, leaving a circle of ruined buildings. Shuriken suddenly embedded itself into Kakashi's wall.
"Still here." He thought to himself. "Shuriken came from different directions. There must be more than one."
"Five of them" Naruto said, sniffing into the air. "They smell like dirt."
"What's the plan?" Sakura asked, turning towards her sensei. "We can't stay behind this wall forever."
"Here's the plan and I expect you to obey every order." Kakashi was extremely serious. More serious than they had ever seen. "The situation is dire. It seems as though Iwa is invading and the Hokage needs to know. I need the three of you to haul ass back to Konoha and inform him. I will provide support from the rear and hold off any pursuers. You need to leave. Now." Kakashi jumped out from behind the wall and charged into the town. Immediately five Iwa ninja jumped on him, engaging him. In that time Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were already gone.
Kakashi was having quite the hard time. Five versus one was not his specialty. Flipping backwards he dodged several kunai. Landing onto his feet he immediately brought up his hands to block a flying roundhouse kick aimed at his head. Grabbing the Iwa nin's foot he twisted the man in midair and smashed him into the ground. Pulling out a kunai he stabbed the man in the back of the head. Kakashi immediately dove out of the way as spears shot out of the ground impaling the man he had just killed.
"Doton: Chanchuusou (Earthern Rising Spears)...on their own ally..." Kakashi thought to himself. Another Iwa nin shot out of the ground with a kunai, intent on stabbing him in the throat. Kakashi caught the woman's arm and twisted it, breaking her arm. Kakashi caught her kunai in mid-air and thrust it into her chest, ending her life. "Two down." He thought to himself.
"Doton: Sando no Jutsu!" (Mountainous Earth Technique)Two gigantic walls appeared on either side of Kakashi.
"Fuck!" Kakashi dove forward, barely escaping being sandwiched as the walls smashed into one another and crumbled apart. Two other Iwa nin appeared and charged at him. Kakashi parried the fist of one but couldn't react fast enough as a kick got through, sending him flying across the town. Another Iwa nin shot up from the ground behind him and threw several kunai at the silver haired nin. Twisting in mid-air Kakashi reached for his own kunai and deflected them. He landed and immediately jumped towards the Iwa nin kicking him in the face. The Iwa nin grunted in pain and fell over. Kakashi landed on top of him and sliced his throat. The other two ninja began to seal.
"Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu!" Together they launched a huge Earthern dragon at Kakashi. Kakashi moved to dive out of the way but found that a hand was gripped onto his ankle keeping him in place. The dying ninja beneath him gargled in amusement getting blood onto Kakashi's pants.
"Fuck."
The jutsu smashed into Kakashi full force, sending him flying through the ruined town. He crashed through what was left of a wall and laid still. The two Iwa-nin walked up towards him and placed a stun seal on his neck.
"Contact headquarters. Hatake Copycat Ninja Kakashi has been captured alive at the border of Konoha. Reinforcements needed immediately. Three Jounin dead." The other Iwa nin nodded. Sealing he poofed away. The Iwa nin prodded Kakashi's prone body with his foot. "Tough ass motherfucker."
Suddenly a yellow wind bullet smashed into the ground by the Iwa nin's foot sending both him and Kakashi flying. A black and blue blur sped onto the scene, catching Kakashi. A small pink haired girl appeared above the Iwa ninja.
"I HAVEN'T EATEN!" Sakura yelled, smashing her fist into the stomach of the airborne ninja sending him straight into the ground creating a huge crater. Naruto ran towards the crater and jumped across it aiming his Uzumaki Cannon down into it.
"UZUMAKI ROKU TEPPOU NO JUTSU !" (Uzumaki: Six Gun Jutsu) Naruto yelled. Channeling chakra into his right arm he aimed and rapid fired six huge wind bullets at the Iwa nin inside. The yellow wind bullets slammed into the Iwa nin, sending him farther into the crater. The huge amounts of wind created a vacuum within the crater keeping him flat in the center. Struggling, he moved his arms into a seal. A boy with what looked like a black duck on his head appeared at the edge of the crater.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke ignited the crater creating a column of flame that spewed out of the crater.
"TEAM 7 COMBO #1 FUCK YEAH!" Sakura yelled. "NOT BAD FOR A FIRST TRY." She stomped towards the crater and looked inside. There was nothing. "FUCK!"
The Iwa nin shot up out of the ground in front of Sakura. Clutching her head with his hand he threw her straight into the crater that she had made.
"Uzumaki Teppou!" (Uzumaki: Gun) Naruto yelled firing two more yellow wind bullets at the Iwa nin. Sasuke charged in, following the blonde's wind bullets.
"Doton: Doryuu Heki no Jutsu!" (Earth Style: Wall) The Iwa nin slammed his hands against the ground and raised a wall, blocking the wind bullets. Sasuke jumped over the wall and sealed.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke blew another ball of fire at the Iwa nin. Jumping backwards the Iwa nin avoided the fireball. Crouching he lunged back at the black haired child and punched him across the face sending him through the Earthern wall he had just made. Landing on one foot he jumped back into the air onto Sasuke.
"Doton: Kouka no Jutsu!" (Hardening Jutsu) The Iwa Nin's body began forming an earthern exterior intent on crushing Sasuke into the ground.
"Oh no you don't!" Naruto rolled into position and took aim. "Uzumaki Teppou!" He fired another wind bullet. The yellow ball of wind hit the Iwa nin right in the side. Naruto followed his trajectory and fired two more sending the airborne nin into the ruins of a house. Aiming at the house he channeled more chakra into his arm, charging the cannon.
"UZUMAKI TEPPOU DAITOPPA NO JUTSU!" (Uzumaki: Gun Great Breakthrough No Jutsu). Naruto fired a huge ball of blue wind enhanced chakra into the ruins ripping it apart. Naruto fell to one knee. "Fuck that was way too much chakra." He thought, breathing heavily.
"Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu!" An earthern dragon shot up out of the ruins of the house and shot straight at Naruto.
"Too fast!" Naruto crossed his arms and braced for impact. The orange cannon glowed.
Sakura crawled her way out of the crater. She had underestimated the pain of being thrown face first into the ground and could barely breathe through her broken nose. As she reached the edge she saw Naruto standing with his cannon raised. Large whiffs of smoke could be seen coming off the edges of it. Except now it wasn't a cannon.
Naruto opened his eyes and looked around him. "Holy shit I didn't get hit." He saw Sakura. "You okay?" he asked.
"Naruto...your arm." Sakura said, pointing at Naruto's right arm.
The Uzumaki Cannon had transformed itself encapsulating Naruto's entire arm. The badly painted orange metal was still visible. The cannon had transformed into a mechanical arm on top of Naruto's real arm. The symbol for Earth glowed.
The Iwa ninja jumped out of the rubble of the ruined house and landed in front of the two teammates. "The dragon didn't land?" He thought. Getting into position he began sealing for another Doryuudan.
"Not again!" Naruto lunged at the Iwa nin. He raised his new mechanical fist and channeled chakra into it, making it glow a bright blue. "UZUMAKI KENGAN NO JUTSU! (Uzumaki: Fist Technique) He cried out. The Iwa nin stopped sealing and moved to block it. It was too late. The chakra-powered mechanical fist slammed into the Iwa nin's chest. Utilizing his momentum Naruto continued his punch's arc, sending the Iwa nin straight into the ground creating another crater. Raising his arm he brought the mechanical arm down again into the face of the Iwa nin, smashing his head into the dirt. Naruto stood up and looked at his handiwork. "He's for sure knocked out." Naruto thought. He took out a stun seal and placed it onto the ninja's neck immobilizing him. His mechanical arm suddenly shuddered and transformed back into it's cannon form. "Interesting..." He thought to himself.
"Naruto! Make some clones, get that fucker, Sasuke-kun and Kakashi-sensei and lets book it." Sakura said pulling out a ration bar. She bit into it. "I don't know when that other guy might be back."
Naruto nodded, putting his hands into a cross seal. "Kage bunshin no jutsu!" He said, forming three clones next to him. "You know what you gotta do! Lets go!"
They arrived in Konoha a day early. As the two Genin reached the gate they fell to the floor of the gate..
"Holy shit! Team 7!" The two gate keepers ran towards the Genin. Naruto's Kage Bunshin poofed away, dropping the other three onto the ground.
"Hokage needs to know...Iwa invasion..." Naruto gasped. Closing his eyes he finally succumbed to his fatigue.
They both looked at the unconscious Iwa nin.
"Fuck."
