Chapter Five: The Tanuki vs. The Crimson Blossom
A Week Before The Chunin Exam Finals
It had taken longer than expected to reach Konoha as he kept running into bandit camps trying to take shortcuts and had to make various stops so that he could replenish his chakra. After all the land of the rice patties wasn't exactly close to Konoha.
Naruto stood still quietly observing the two chunin guards with a twitching eye, the fuckers were asleep. Asleep! How could they possibly be asleep? There was an invasion coming soon damn it! An evil glint appeared in Naruto's eyes as he silently approached the two "guards,"reaching into his pocket he produced a black marker and smirked evilly. Oh were these two in for a surprise when they awoke later.
Two Hours Later
Our hero was currently on the outskirts of Konoha's wall and was setting down various seals hidden in trees, bushes, covered by grass. The seals he was placing down was to slow down the invaders and possibly kill some as well.
Some of the seals were genjutsu seals so that they attacked each other, others were to send out hails of kunai and shuriken, one was to send out flares to alert the defending village that they were being attacked. His personal favorite was the seal he made that shot out a high level hado called, sokatsui.
To make sure that these were all well and sure to work was going to take two or three days. So he went straight to work and began going around the wall setting up the traps. Making sure to keep his sensor ability which had increased in range, from 500 yards to now three miles, open so that he could avoid the patrol of ANBU. He also had to keep his chakra level low so that he wouldn't accidentally alert his father to his presence.
Three Days Later
Naruto had now successfully set every trap intended for the enemy and had made sure his god father's spies caught wind of when and who were going to invade them. He was actually surprised when he found out that Suna was going to attack as well. Well thinking about it he couldn't really blame them, the wind daimyo has been sending most of the missions his country received to Konoha and that has been damaging Suna's economy greatly.
It was now two days till the exam finals and Naruto had heard that Sakura had made it as well as the rest of team seven, the team she was on. Currently Naruto was using his sensor ability to sense out Sakura so that he could surprise her. He had infiltrated the village earlier today and had been walking around using a henge seal so that he could look like Byakuya and roam his home once more.
"I wonder if she still remembers me? What if she moved on and forgot about me and the promise she wanted me to fulfill?" thought the now distraught Naruto.
Soon he found the familiar warm chakra and followed it to what appeared to be her house. Which was a two story house that was located in the merchant district. Jumping onto a neighboring house Naruto found her room, which conveniently had a balcony, and leaped onto it.
The sun was currently setting and he could see a dim light shining through her curtains as he approached the window. Hesitantly he walked soundlessly to the double window doors and softly knocked. Hearing soft footsteps his heart began to race, he quickly removed his seal and once again looked like himself.
Hearing the door fling open Naruto had to dodge three expertly thrown kunai so that he wouldn't be killed. Looking at the offender he froze.
"Sakura." Thought Naruto.
Sakura had changed drastically over the last five years. Her beautiful pink hair was currently as short as his, at shoulder length. Her mesmerizing jade green eyes shining brighter than ever and was glaring at him, though he could see the confusion in her eyes. She also now stood at the height of 5'4".
He couldn't help but notice that she also grew up in other places as well. Her chest seemed to be around a high A-cup. Sakura was also lean showing off her well defined muscles, that all kunoichi developed when they took training seriously, meaning she wasn't built like a body builder but that of a very fit and sexy woman. Seeing that she was only in a red tank top and biker shorts, he couldn't help but notice how rounded her hips have gotten, catching a glimpse of her firm and plump rear he couldn't help but blush.
Kunai in hand Sakura glared at the intruder, though she had to admit that he was very attractive. Suddenly though she glared into his amethyst colored ey-, wait amethyst colored eyes? She only knew of two people with those eyes and one of them was the fourth Hokage's wife.
"N-naruto-kun?" she asked hesitantly.
Hearing her call him that made Naruto's heart soar, she didn't forget him!
"Hai, Sakura-chan it's me." That's all he got out before she jumped at the red head and embraced him.
Crying Sakura couldn't help but ask the question, "Is this real, or is it just a dream?"
Hugging her tighter Naruto separated them for a moment and stared into her eyes and said, "This is real Sakura-chan, not a dream."
After staying like that for a while longer they separated and she took him inside so that they could catch up.
"So what have you been up to Naruto-kun, where'd you go after that night? How strong are you? Are you finally back for good?" the questions came at rapid fire pace which made Naruto laugh a little.
"If I am going to answer all these questions, how about we sit down first?" he asked.
Nodding Sakura led Naruto into the bedroom and they made themselves comfortable on the bed both of them lying next to each other.
"To answer your first question, I was found by the samurai in Iron Country and trained with them for the last five years. I am pretty strong now but nowhere near my goal of coming back stronger than my father. As for the last question, no I am sadly not back for good but I will return in two or three years." Explained Naruto.
Awed over the fact that he has been training with the samurai in Iron Country, Sakura kept smiling until she heard that he wasn't back for good yet.
"B-but then why did you come?" she asked.
"There is going to be an attack on Konoha and I came here to help my village, also to see you of course." He finished with a smile.
"There is going to be an attack when?" asked the now alarmed Sakura.
"During the finals of the chunin exams, by the way I heard that you made it to the finals congratulations." He said giving her a smile.
"How can you be so calm about all this, and who is attacking?" asked Sakura a little upset by Naruto's carefree attitude.
"I have taken some precautions and I made sure Jiraiya's spy network caught wind of who and when the sand and sound are attacking." He said still smiling at her.
"So tell me, how have you been? Who is on your team?" asked Naruto.
"Your twin and the ever stuck up Sasuke. Our sensei is Kakashi and we are an assault and support team." She said.
"I never liked that kid, I mean I tried to be friends with him but he just said that a no talent clan heir was beneath him and just walked away, so much different from his brother and mother." Said Naruto, thinking about the clan and his mother's best friend.
He had heard about how the Uchiha were attempting a coup' de 'tat and how his father was able to diffuse the situation by making Itachi Uchiha captain of his personal ANBU squad and even made a speech saying that he, the yondaime, has complete trust in the Uchiha. Opposers like Danzo were ignored and over ruled, Danzo was later publicly executed because he attempted to goad the Uchiha into a civil war and had attempted to kill Shisui Uchiha.
"Anyways I have to leave but don't worry I will be watching your match, and if you win and we fend off the attackers I'll take you on a date." Said Naruto winking at her while heading for the window.
"I would like that very much, that way we can get to know each other better. When do you plan on leaving again?" she responded.
"I plan to leave after the invasion and I'll be sure to be back in two or three more years." Said Naruto.
Walking to her Naruto placed a kiss onto her forehead and whispered in her ear, "I've been wanting to do that for a while now." He said before shunpoing away.
Sakura touched her forehead with a goofy looking smile on her face before she went back into her room.
Day of The Invasion
Heading towards the stadium in his Byakuya disguise Naruto looked at all the people and nobles that have come to attend. He soon found a secluded seat away from any shinobi who could possibly identify him and tried to hide his chakra as low as he could.
"WELCOME ALL TO THE FINALS OF THE CHUNIN EXAMS! WILL ALL THE FINALISTS BUT NATSUMI NAMIKAZE AND NEJI HYUGA PLEASE LEAVE TO THE WAITING AREA!" Yelled the proctor of the exams Genma.
Naruto looked down and spotted his younger twin sister, she now stood at the same height of Sakura. Her long loose golden blonde hair reaching her thighs, a leaf head band tied firmly around her forehead keeping her bangs out of her face.
Currently she was wearing black shinobi sandals, black leggings under a black thigh length skirt. A black short sleeved shirt with the Uzumaki crest in orange on the front under a burnt orange vest with a black Uzumaki crest on the back. Tantos on each of her hips, which she then grabbed into a reverse grip.
"So she decided to take up kenjutsu? That style isn't the Uzumaki's, did she learn another?" Naruto thought silently to himself.
Seeing her fall into her stance Naruto's eyes widened when he realized what style she was using.
"That is dad's style when he dual wields his tri-kunai!" he though in surprise.
Soon the battle between the two genin began and Naruto wasn't very surprised when he noticed Natsumi rushing in against a Hyuga prodigy. She had always been very impatient, soon though he noticed she threw down a flash bomb and a quick kawarimi that the Hyuga hadn't seem to have noticed.
"So she had a shadow clone hiding in the tree and she used that flash bomb to distract the Hyuga so that he wouldn't notice the replacement. She has gotten better at strategy." Thought Naruto.
Soon the Hyuga engaged the clone in close combat before he had to dodge a couple kunai that came flying in behind him. Jumping out of the way left Neji open for attack from the original Natsumi who had joined her clone in attacking the branch member.
Neji couldn't react fast enough to block the kick that caught him in the stomach knocking all the wind out of him. Natsuki took advantage of this and continued her assault, slashing and kicking at him before Neji was finally able to turn it around by guiding away her attacks and dispelled the clone that tried to attack from behind.
Jumping back Natsuki flashed through a couple hand seals before taking in a large amount of air, "Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullets!" she yelled sending out five bullets of compressed air at Neji.
Thinking quickly Neji gathered his chakra and began to spin while releasing his chakra through all his tenketsus, "Kaiten!" he yelled dispersing the wind bullets safely before stopping his technique.
Noticing that he was beginning to pant Natsumi quickly rushed in again using her superior speed and flexibility to get inside Neji's guard and began attacking his abdomen before moving quickly out of his guard and round house kicked him away. Following after him Natsumi appeared above him and planted both of her feet into his side making him slam into the ground causing a small crater to appear.
"WINNER! NATSUMI NAMIKAZE!" yelled the proctor.
Natsumi looked at the crowd panting a bit before giving them a large grin and held her hand into a peace sign. The crowd went crazy and began chanting her name as she walked away as the medics carried Neji away.
"OKAY WILL SAKURA HARUNO OF KONOHA AND DOSU KINUTA OF OTO PLEASE COME DOWN TO THE ARENA!" once again yelled the proctor.
Hearing Sakura's name being called made Naruto pay extra attention, he was finally going to see how much Sakura has grown. Looking at her opponent made him think of mummy before glaring at his Oto headband around his bandaged forehead.
Sakura was currently wearing a single long sleeved red shirt that covered her left arm but left her right arm bare. The Haruno clan symbol in white on the back. Tight black biker shorts under a black mid-thigh length skirt, black ninja sandals on her feet. Black gloves on both of her hands, her black clothed head band tied around the center of her head holding back some of her hair from falling into her hair.
"ARE BOTH FIGHTERS READY? HAJIME!" said the proctor before jumping out of the way.
Both of the contestants glared at each other for a little before Dosu decided to make the first move by rushing at Sakura and swinging his arm with that weird contraption. Sakura seeing this remembered what she saw that thing do during the exams and flashed through hand signs.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" she said before spitting out mud and forming a wall that took the attack for her.
Seeing this made Dosu quite upset as he then tried rushing at her again and tried to engage her in a taijutsu match. Sakura though was actually better at taijutsu than Natsuki and had learned a new technique she has been wanting to use.
Dosu on the other hand was getting angry that she kept dodging everything he threw at her and how she kept jumping away when he was about to use his melody arm. Frustrated he decided to just go straight for her until he noticed her hand enveloped in chakra making him glad that he jumped back.
Sakura's fist connected with the ground and made a five foot deep and ten feet wide crater. Seeing this made everyone in the arena eyes widen especially a blonde haired shinobi who sat next to black haired woman that held a pig in her arms.
"What the hell! How did she use my technique, you need perfect chakra control to be able to use it and I've also never taught it to anyone! So how the hell did she learn it!" screamed the blonde.
"Please calm down Tsunade-sama you're making everyone stare at us. Though it is weird that she knows how to use your strength technique." Thought the black haired woman.
"You know what Shizune, I just found my new apprentice. I mean your training is almost complete and in the next few months you'll have learned everything I could teach you." Said the woman now identified as Tsunade.
Naruto on the other hand was shocked, she was not only good at taijutsu but she also recreated his god mother's super strength. Now he knew he had to fulfill his promise or else she would most likely break him.
Dosu just looked on in shock over what he had just seen, he couldn't believe that this small girl had such monstrous strength. He now knew that he had to avoid getting hit by her fists at all costs.
Sakura couldn't help but smirk at seeing everyone's reaction to what she had just done, and what made it even better was that she knew Naruto had seen it and she had even seen Tsunade Senju in the crowd.
Dosu getting his head out of the gutter pulled out some kunai instead and rushed in, he couldn't help but be angry over the fact that he was a close range fighter that only had one mid-range attack.
Sakura seeing this began to channel chakra to her eyes and made sure that she made eye contact with Dosu. Looking straight into his eyes Sakura then let him fall for her genjutsu.
Dosu on the other hand saw that Sakura had attempted to dodge his kunai swipe and had left herself open, smirking Dosu took advantage of this and attempted to finish her off. Simple put he was extremely confused when he hit nothing but air.
Sakura seeing Dosu miss smirked herself, the genjutsu she had place him in threw off his depth perception. He thought she was open for attack and had attempted to take advantage of it but that only left him with a large opening that Sakura took.
Channeling chakra to her leg Sakura closed the distance between them and delivered a devastating blow to Dosu's unprotected abdomen. The kick broke almost all of his ribs, ruptured his spleen, his appendix, and collapsed his left lung.
Dosu lay there completely angry over the fact that he had been beaten by some pathetic pink haired Konoha kunoichi looked over to her and glared at her.
"You think you won?" he said, stopping the proctor from calling the match.
"What do you mean? You lost, it's over." Said Sakura.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU THINK IT'S OVER?! THIS ISN'T OVER UNTIL YOU AND THE REST OF THIS VILLAGE ARE BURNT TO THE GROUND! THE GREAT VILLAGE OF OTO AND THE SAND VILLAGE ARE GOING TO RAZE THIS PLACE TO THE FUCKING GROUND YOU TREE HUGGING BITCH!" came the insane reply from Dosu.
Orochimaru, who was disguised as the fourth Kazekage, looked at Dosu in anger before calming himself and giving the signal.
The feeling of sleep washed over the entire stadium as various shinobi and kunoichi dispelled the genjustu and prepared themselves. An explosion soon rocked the Kage area and soon Minato and Orochimaru were covered in a purple four wall barrier. The battle for Konoha had finally begun.
Sakura after dispelling the genjutsu glared at Dosu before throwing a kunai which pierced his heart. Suddenly she noticed that Gaara, one of the most bloodthirsty people she had ever met, take off with his siblings. Kakashi and the rest of team of seven soon appeared next to her.
"Sasuke, you and Sakura go after Gaara and his siblings, Natsumi, I need you to go and secure the hospital and the academy. MOVE OUT!" yelled out Kakashi before he went to join Gai in eliminating the invaders.
Natsumi told her teammates to be careful before she jumped away to make sure that the academy and the hospital were being taken care of. Sakura and Sasuke soon nodded to each other and went after the sand siblings, they were soon joined by Shino who wanted to take on Kankuro.
Naruto saw that his godparents had the village under control and he knew his father could handle himself against Orochimaru went to find Sakura. Dropping his disguise he unsheathed his sword and cut down any Oto or Suna shinobi who stood in his way.
Catching up quickly Naruto saw that Shino had taken Kankuro elsewhere and that Sasuke had somehow ended up fighting Temari, leaving Sakura with who Naruto had found out was Suna's jinchuriki.
Arriving he saw Gaara slap away Sakura, this kind of sand cloak now covering him. By the way he had his face cracked it seemed Sakura had landed a good hit on him. He was brought out of his thoughts when he soon heard Sakura scream out in pain, Gaara had wrapped her in some sand with that sand arm of his and had pushed her against a tree and was squeezing the life out of her.
Naruto quickly unsheathed his sword and cut off the appendage making Gaara scream in pain and frustration. Taking advantage of this Naruto followed this up with a monstrous kick that sent Gaara a good distance away. He then attempted to free Sakura until he heard Gaara laugh when he came back.
"What the hell is so funny?" asked Naruto in a cold voice.
"The only way to free her is for you to defeat me, until then my sand will just keep getting tighter and tighter until she dies a very painful death. You seem strong will you help me prove my existence? COME ON SWORDSMAN! MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE, MOTHER WANTS YOUR BLOOD!" said Gaara in a crazed voice before making the sand get tighter, resulting in Sakura screaming in agony.
Naruto looked coldly at the jinchuriki, his spirit pressure increasing higher and higher. Naruto slowly started bringing his sword up towards his face.
"Tell me….. Do you bleed." Said Naruto in a deathly cold voice, Senbonzakura dispersing into those familiar pink petals.
Gaara looked at the Uzumaki curiously before his eyes widened in shock when he felt a presence appear behind him. A cold and emotionless voice whispered in his ear.
"You will."
