. . . .

Chapter 55: Invasion!

. . . .

"Well shit...what now..." Naruto said to himself trying to think a way out of this.

"Don't worry Naruto-san! We're here to help!" a new voice said as two new people landed next to Naruto.

"Lee! Neji! Alrigth! Lets get this party started!" Naruto said as he summoned Kitsune no Kiba and got ready to charge the enemy before him.

. . . .

Hiruzen jumped out of the exploding room he was in and dashed to the roof of a new by building. He quickly shed his Hokage robes and dawned his combat uniform. The 'Kazekage' and his entourage followed his to the roof. His two guards split into four and surrounded the elderly Hokage. The four reached there hands out before them and a purple barrier formed closing Hiruzen and the 'Kazekage' off from the world.

Hiruzen sneered at the 'Kazekage' and looked around to get a feel for their battle ground. "You know," he started. "This was all well thought out 'Orochimaru', I bet on paper it would mean your victory." he said with a smirk.

The now identified Orochimaru chuckled darkly. "Well, well, well~. Looks like the senile old fool figure me out~." he said as he removed his Kage robes. "So~, Sensei~. How about you stand still so I can kill you!" he roared as he charged forward.

. . . .

In another part of Konoha's wilderness, screams of fallen enemies could be heard.

One Konoha Jonin reached up to her radio and turned it on. "This is Inuzuka Tsume. Enemy summoning squad has been dealt with." she relayed into her head set. She heard a crackled 'Roger' over her radio. "Continue to the main gate and assist in repealing Suna." the voice said over the radio. "Roger that, Squad Tsume will be there as fast as possible," she said into her radio before she turned to her team of ten Inuzuka Jonin. "Alright! Faze two! To the gates!" she ordered.

. . . .

On top of Konoha's main gate stood Nara Shukaku, Yamanaka Iniochi, and Akimichi Chouza. Chouza smiled and laughed his jovial laugh. "Lets show these punks why the Ino-Shika-Cho formation should still be feared!" he said in a loud and booming voice. His two friends smiled and nodded in agreement. The tree stood next to each other a they ran through their own hand signs. They all finished at the same time and Chouza jumps off of the gate. The three channel there chakra at the same time. "Nikudan Yo-yo! (Juggernaut Yo-yo)" They yell together as Chouza forms into a massive ball. Shikaku grabs onto him with his shadow and Inoichi guides him in his attacks.

Using Chouza's body as a weapon, the three begin their onslaught on the advancing army from Suna.

. . . .

Cole glared at the five Oto Jonin who dared come to attack them in their private viewing area. "I would tell you to leave politely, but since you are attacking my son and my friends, I'll have to kill you." he said with ice in his words. He let out the full extent of his killing intent.

The five Jonin fell to their knees as they choked on nothing but air. Cole calmly walked over to them. One after another he placed his hand on top of their heads and removed their soul. Once all five were dead Cole looked to everyone in the area.

Hinata and Hanabi were stunned by the shear intensity that is the Uzumaki clan head when he is angry. Hannah and Hiashi were wide eyed as they learned that all those years ago, the Oracle really did rip the souls out of those unfortunate to theaten his son.

And Anko, well...

She was grabbing his arm and hugging him. "I love it when you get all killy." she purred as she drew circles on his chest with her figures. Everyone in the room sweatdropped. Cole cleared his throat and looked to Hiashi and Anko. "You guys know the drill. Get everyone to safety and fight hard. Anko, get Hannah and Hanabi back to their compound." he ordered. Anko nodded but Hannah stopped them before they began to move. "What about Hinata-chan? She's still injured." she asked with worry in her voice.

Cole just smirked and looked to the Hyuuga girl. "Well, Hinata, you know what to do. Go help that hopeless blonde." he said with a smile. Hinata smiled with confidence and stood up and dashed out into the arena. Hiashi and the rest of the Hyuuga were wide eyed. "W-what?" they all said dumbly. Cole smirked. "Don't worry about it, she'll be fine. Now, Hiashi, I think Hokage-sama is in need of assistance." Cole said as he began to walk towards where Hiruzen and Orochimaru were fighting it out.

Hiashi nodded and followed after the Oracle.

. . . .

"Konoha Senpu!"

"Raikiri! (Lightning Blade)"

"Katon: Haisekisho! (Fire Release: Burning Ash)"

Gai, Kakashi, and Asuma yelled as they took out their own respective groups of Oto Jonin. They all stood together protecting the Genin. Kurenai joined the group with a kunai drawn and some blood staining her dress. "Is everyone here alright?" she asked the group of Genin. Shino nodded. "Yes, no injuries here." he said speaking for the whole group. Kakashi turned to the arena and sighed. "Well, good. Because looks like the group down there need some assistance." he said as he watched another ten Oto Jonin jump down into the arena.

. . . .

"Dammit! There's on end to you guys is there..." Hayate said under his breath as he pulled his sword out of the chest of an enemy shinobi. Bodies littered the floor around him as both his sword and most of his clothes were stained in the blood he had cut down. He was barely able to stand. He had already taken on thirteen Jonin and now ten more were joining the fray. He shakily raised his sword as he felt a back come up to his. "How ya holdin' up?" Genma asked out of breath. Hayate shrugged. "*cough* about as good as you." he said as he readied himself for another wave of enemies.

Genma wasn't in much better shape than Genma. Baki was a pain of a guy to fight, with his wind blades and all. But it was made even worse when he had to constantly be on the look out for Oto Jonin joining in on the fight. Besides giving a good few hits to Baki with his chakra enhanced Senbon, he had to kill about a dozen other shinobi. "Just no end to them huh?" he asked as he pegged another Jonin in the head with a senbon.

Hayate blocked an attack and pushed the Jonin back. "Ya, no shit." he said breathlessly. "*cough* At least *cough cough* Naruto and the other Genin are doing better than us."

. . . .

"Kitsune no Hikari!" Naruto shouted as he sliced his tanto in a wide ark. The beam of light shot right at the four Iwa shinobi at great speeds. The Jonin and two of his Genin jumped out of the way while Hadorokku just let his spikes of rock rise from the ground to defend himself. "Ha! Like my defense would let some light hi m-" he started to boast but was cut off when the light cut straight through his defense and cleaved him in two. "Hadorokku!" the female Genin, Shina, yelled in anger. "I'LL KILL YOU NAMIKAZE!" she roared as she charged she charged at Naruto. Only to be pushed back by Lee.

"I don't know why you are calling Naruto-san a Namikaze, but your behavior is very unyouthful!" he said as he stood in his strong fist stance. "Now! Since Naruto-san took my opponent out so quickly you will be my opponent! Now prepare yourself for the Green Beast of Konoha! Rock Lee!" he said as he dashed at Shina.

Neji was fighting against the other member of the Iwa Genin. Rou had lost in his fight against Lee in the preliminaries and was struggling against the Hyuuga prodigy. He jumped back away from the Hyuuga and felt his right arm go numb and hang limp and useless. "Shit!" he said to himself. He looked around for someone to help him, only to see his sensei get kicked across the arena and into the wall. Breaking his neck. His eyes darted to where Naruto stood and he froze. Neji saw his opponent freeze upon looking at Naruto and he decided to look over too. Once he saw the blonde his jaw hit the floor.

. . . .

Naruto was struggling with the Iwa Jonin. The man was fast and hit hard. But he knew he could beat him with time. But he didn't have either the time to waist on him or the chakra to spare in a lengthy battle with the man.

He reached into his mind to talk to Kurama. "Hey furball! I'm gonna need a one tail cloak!" he said to the demon.

Kurama hesitated before sighing in response. "That's not gonna happen Naruto..." he replied to the blond. Naruto raised an eyebrow. "And why the hell not!?" he asked angrily.

Kurama sighed before trying to calm the blonde down. "Don't worry Kit...now that you have a balance between good and evil within you, I can't make a tailed cloak anymore...but what I can give you...is much...much more powerful..." he said cryptically. Naruto huffed as he started blocking attacks. "Ok whatever! Just give me a boost!" he asked.

Right as he pushed the Jonin back he felt a power well up in him. But not only a power, but an intense pain followed. He held in his scream as best he could. "Listen Kit, this'll hurt for a few seconds...but it is worth it..."

After a few seconds Naruto felt the pain leave him. He looked up at the scared looking Jonin and rushed him with a speed he never felt he could possibly go. He delivered a knee so hard to the mans face he felt his nose break before he was sent flying into the wall, breaking the mans neck.

Naruto looked down to himself and his eyes widened. Instead of the bubbly red chakra that always formed when he was using Kurama's chakra, there was a solid golden glow flickering in and out around Naruto's body. His seal on his stomach was visible and spreading in an intricate pattern around his body.

"Well, Kit...you have five minutes in this form...use it well."

. . . .

(A/N): To be continued...

Yes, Naruto is using Kurama's chakra mode. But it isn't perfect. If you want a reference on what stage it is in, look at the Power Ark of Shippuden. Kinda like that.

Remember to REVIEW! And as always, I'll see ya next time!
