Hello everyone I'm back once again to bring you another chapter of my story; I hope you all enjoy this new chapter and with nothing else to saw lets begin.
Set in Stone: Chapter 19 (Invasion arc Part 1)
Rock lee rushed at Ichigo and jumped in the air 'leaf hurricane' Lee spun around to kick Ichigo; Ichigo ducked under the kick and grabbed Lee's leg. Lee not deterred by his leg being grabbed brought up his other leg in order to once again kick Ichigo; Ichigo let go of Lee's leg and jumped back.
Ichigo then drew out his wooden training sword and charged at Lee; Ichigo slashed at Lee missing a Lee dodged. Lee then jumped back and stood up.
"You are quite the adversary" Lee said as he began to unwrap his bandages "however I doubt you will be able to withstand this attack" he said as he then crossed his arms. "First Gate Gate of Opening… open" Lee said as he then rushed forward at blinding speed and kicked Ichigo in the air.
Ichigo while in the air felt himself be wrapped with something; he then saw it was Lee's bandages and the boy was behind him. Lee then began to descend down at a fast arc 'forward lotus' Lee then smashed into the ground sending up a giant cloud of dust.
In the stands
"Ichigo" Naruto shouted in disbelief.
Hinata and Yakumo both had their hands over their mouths in horror; they knew that Ichigo was probably hurt after that attack. They then heard Tsubaki whistle.
"Damn that's gotta hurt" Tsubaki said nonchalantly "I wonder how Ichigo's going to react when he gets back up" she said making Naruto, Hinata and Yakumo look at her in confusion.
"He's probably going to be pissed" Moro said crossing her arms "remember when that Akimichi dude tried to stomp on him" she said and Tsubaki began to laugh.
"Yeah I remember" Tsubaki said "Ichigo used his sword to slice him open from his balls to his stomach; man it was so gross seeing guts come out from a 40 foot tall fat man" she said.
Naruto looked back down eyes wide open 'how tough is he'.
In the arena
Lee got up off the ground and turned to the crater where he landed with Ichigo; as the dust settled he expected to see legs sticking out of the ground but froze in what he saw.
Ichigo was standing up his head turned to the side in a awkward angle; Ichigo then reached up and grabbed his head and in one swift motion twisted it back into place with a horrible cracking sound.
"That was pretty good I'll hand it to you" Ichigo said as he rubbed the dirt and dust from his hair and cloths "if I wasn't as well built as I am I'd be paralyzed" he said. Lee took a step back; he used that technique on a missing ninja and it disabled him, but Ichigo was able to shrug it off like it was nothing.
"How- how did you-"Lee began until Lee saw something fall from the sky; 'feathers' Lee thought as his vision began to blur. He was then hit with a chakra pulse from Ichigo that disrupted the genjutsu.
"Lee the village is under attack" Ichigo shouted and Lee looked around seeing sound and sand ninja fighting in the stands "get your ass in the fight" he shouted as he then disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
In the arena infirmary
"Ok nearly there" Shizune said as she and Hana poured medical chakra into Sarada's head "ok done" she said and Sarada stood back up.
"Good to go" Sarada said as she walked next to Naruto, Hinata, Moro, Tsubaki, Karui, Temari and Ino; just then a swirl of leaves appeared and Ichigo walked up.
"You guys ready" he asked and everybody nodded "good; Ino, Karui and Tsubaki you are with me" he said and the 3 ran out of the room to start their mission.
Naruto then stepped forward "ok Hinata, Moro, Yakumo, Temari; let's get into position. Karin and Kin should be waiting for us" Naruto said. Sarada then went up to Naruto and kissed him.
"I'm going to join the root base assault" Sarada said "be safe ok" she said as she disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Ok then" Naruto said turning to the others "let's kick some ass" he said as he and the others rushed out of the room to join the fight. Shizune then turned to Hana and spoke.
"Let's go and help the wounded" Shizune said as she strapped her medical backpack on.
"Right" Hana said as she followed Shizune out the door.
With Inoichi, Shikaku and Choza
The original Ino-shika-cho finished fighting off another wave of sound ninja as they stopped and took a breath.
"What's happening Shikaku" Inoichi asked and Shikaku sighed.
"The village is being attacked what do you think is happening" he said slouching "what a drag; and I bet on my sons match already" he said. Just then the trio heard 4 sets of feet land and looked and saw a familiar face.
"Ino" Inoichi asked "what are you doing here; shouldn't you be at the arena" he asked.
Ino trembled as she pulled out her sword "daddy" Ino said her voice shaking "I'm sorry but I have to do this" she said.
"Sweetie what are you- "Inoichi began until he ducked under a slash from Ino.
"Ino what the hell" Shikaku shouted as he then sent a shadow to capture Ino; he then dodged 2 simultaneous attacks from both Ichigo and Karui. "What the hell is wrong with you kids" he shouted as he took out 2 kunai and began to fight back.
"Shikaku, Inoichi" Choza shouted; Tsubaki then charged at Choza and cocked back her fist.
"Your fight is with me big guy" Tsubaki said; Choza blocked the strike but was sent skidding back. Choza then used his expansion jutsu on his hand and swung it at Tsubaki; Tsubaki blocked the strike and felt her bones rattle. "Holy crap that was a hard hit" Tsubaki said as she grabbed the expanded arm "lets move this party elsewhere" she yelled as she threw Choza a few hundred feet.
A few seconds later Choza used his body expansion jutsu and grew to the size of a 10-story building.
Tsubaki then cracked her knuckles and her neck "let's get it on" she said with a smile.
On the roof of the arena
Hiruzen, A, Tsunade, Tsume and her nin dog were trapped inside a barrier with Orochimaru a couple yards away.
"What's wrong sensei" Orochimaru said looking at Hiruzen "you don't seem to be happy to see me; doesn't a surprise visit from your favorite student make you at least a little excited" he said.
"Why would I be surprised" Hiruzen said "I knew you were planning on doing this for months" Hiruzen said and Orochimaru grew wide eyed.
'How could he have known about the invasion' Orochimaru thought; he then grew a smirk "well sensei here is something you didn't expect" Orochimaru said as he quickly went through hand signs. "Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation" Orochimaru said as 3 coffins came out of the ground.
'3 coffins' Tsunade thought 'but Tsubaki and the others said he only used 2 in their time line' he thought as his eyes narrowed.
"I was only going to use 2 of them but when I heard Kabuto got captured, I decided to bring a special one just for you, sensei" he said as the first 2 coffins opened and their lids fell to the ground.
Hashirama and Tobirama stepped out of their coffins and looked around.
"Konoha; it's changed" Hashirama said.
"War no matter what the era" Tobirama said as he then looked at the gathered shinobi in front of him "ah Sarutobi you grew old" he said and Hiruzen flinched. Then the third coffin fell open and revealed a very unfamiliar face to most of those gathered before Orochimaru.
"Who the hell is that" Tsunade said "is he a leaf ninja" he asked.
"I don't know he's not wearing any leaf markings on him" Tsume said "and I don't recognize his face" she said.
A looked at the third reanimation in confusion "Sarutobi do you- "he started as he began to turn to Hiruzen; he then saw Hiruzen full of rage and anger.
"Orochimaru how dare you" Hiruzen shouted in fury "of all people you decided to choose him" he yelled; Orochimaru chuckled.
"Well sensei it looks like I hit a nerve" Orochimaru said; the third reanimation the walked forward and stood next to Hashirama and Tobirama.
"Ahh Sasuke" Hashirama greeted "nice to see you once again" he said.
"It's a thousand years too early for me to see your face again" Tobirama said scornfully.
"My, my Hiruzen; when I last saw you, you were no more than 14 years old. My how time flies" he said and Hiruzen got even more on guard.
"Tsunade" Hiruzen began "I was planning on taking on Orochimaru myself but it looks like you will have to do it for me" Hiruzen said. "A take on the first Hokage, Tsume take on the second; I'll handle my father" Hiruzen said and A recoiled.
"Your father" A asked and Hiruzen nodded.
"Sasuke Sarutobi; the only non-Kekkei Genkai user who was able to go toe to toe with Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha and live to tell the tale" Hiruzen said and Tsunade, Tsume and A flinched.
"I got a bad feeling about this" Tsume said as she popped a chakra pill into her mouth.
Outside the Barrier.
The sound 4 were holding up the barrier just as Orochimaru hand ordered them too.
"How you assholes doing" Tayuya said into her intercom "any of you pussies about to give out yet" Tayuya said.
"Fuck off Tayuya" Sakon said "we are all doing… hey Jirobo what's that behind you" he said and Jirobo looked behind him.
"Hey isn't she that Kin girl who went missing" Jirobo said "and who's the red head" he asked.
Kin was looking over Karin's shoulder "are you sure you know what you're doing" Kin asked and Karin and she nodded.
"Yeah, I've been studying how to counter act barriers" Karin said; just then 5 pairs of feet landed behind her and Karin smiled. "Naruto right on time" Karin said "I'm just about ready to begin the plan" Karin said.
Naruto took in a deep breath and let it out "ok, ok, you can do this" Naruto said; Naruto then felt his hand being grabbed and turned and saw Hinata.
"Don't worry Naruto" Hinata said "everything will work out" she said.
"Ok everybody" Karin said slapping a paper with a seal onto the barrier "get ready" she said. "Sealing Jutsu: Barrier Disruption Pulse" she shouted; just then the barrier started becoming unstable and then it collapsed under itself.
"What the hell" Tayuya shouted; the next moment Tayuya was attacked by Yakumo and Kin "fuck both you bitches" Tayuya shouted as she jumped off the roof.
"Tayuya" Kidomaru shouted before he was blown away by a strong gust of wind.
"He's mine" Temari shouted as she jumped after the multi- armed boy.
Jirobo dodged an attack from the right from Moro who used a fang over fang "little bitch" he shouted as he smashed the area that she was just at. Moro then stopped and turned to him.
"What's wrong" Moro taunted "your fat ass too slow to catch little ol' me" she said with a smirk. Jirobo then charged after her as Moro left the area for a more open space.
"And then there was one" Naruto said as he looked a Sakon.
"No there isn't" Sakon said as he began to split into 2 and Ukon his twin brother appeared.
"Ughhh gross" Naruto gagged "how the fuck did you do that" he asked and Sakon grew angry.
"Naruto" Hinata spoke up "lets take them on together" she said as she activated her Byakugan.
"Yeah, lets do it" Naruto said as he smiled at Hinata before looking at Sakon "ok freak show lets get this party started" Naruto said as he created 5 clones and got ready.
With Ino
Ino slashed once again at Inoichi as he dodged "Ino what's going on" he asked as he blocked another strike with his Kunai "Ino stop" he begged. Ino did not let up as she continued her attacks.
Ino was in turmoil as she fought her father; he may have supported Sasuke in his quest for world domination, but he was her father. He may have asked her in the future to marry a monster; but he was her father.
"Shut up and die already" Ino shouted as she attempted to stab Inoichi; Inoichi dodged the attack but then felt a searing pain from his back. Inoichi looked down and saw a sword sticking out of his chest; the Ino in front of him then blurred out of existance.
'A clone' Inoichi thought as he looked back and saw the sad face of his daughter.
"I'm sorry daddy" Ino choked out "but I can't let it happen; not again" Ino said; she then pulled out her sword and with one swift slice cut off Inoichi's head. Ino then closed her eyes and turned around; she then began walking away as she did not want to see her handiwork.
With Ichigo and Karui
Ichigo and Karui were using their speed and agility to weave past Shikaku's shadows that were attempting to bind them; Ichigo jumped up and threw several paper bombs at Shikaku.
Shikaku dodged and threw several shuriken at Ichigo who blocked them with his sword; Shikakau then felt a searing pain from his back as he got slashed by Karui when his back was turned.
"Don't forget about me asshole" Karui shouted as she went in for another slice but was stopped when her hands were grabbed and she was thrown into a wall. Karui was getting up but then she felt her airway get tighter.
"Shadow Strangulation Jutsu" Shikaku said; he was about to crush the girls wind pipe until he heard something from behind.
"Slash of the White fang" Ichigo shouted; Shikaku turned around just in time and raised his kunai to block the blade. However, Ichigo's strike was not stopped by the Kunai as it sliced through cleanly; Shikaku with a look of terror on his face as a vertical line appeared and went straight down his body.
Shikaku Nara was split open as his organs fell onto the ground with a wet plop followed by his body; Ichigo sheathed his sword as he moved over to Karui.
Karui was hacking and coughing as she tried to regain her breath "goddamn" she said hoarsely "he nearly crushed my throat" she said.
"Go get medical attention" Ichigo said "I'm going to go find Ino" he said; Karui nodded and the 2 split off into different directions.
With Tsubaki
Tsubaki was grabbed by Choza and thrown through a building; upon coming to a stop Tsubaki got back up with a groan.
"Man, why do I have to fight all the heavy hitters" Tsubaki whined as she walked out of the building; she then looked up and saw Choza's foot coming down on her.
Choza stepped down with all his might in order to kill the girl who attacked him; Choza then felt something underneath his foot.
Tsubaki was lifting up with all her might as her muscles were straining and her face grew red; Tsubaki then used all her super strength to throw Choza's foot off of her. Choza lost his balance for a second and that was all Tsubaki needed; Tsubaki pumped as much chakra into her legs as possible and jumped as high as Choza's head and raised her leg straight up in the air.
Tsubaki then dropped an axe kick onto Choza's head with all her might; Choza's skull was effectively split in half as it caved right down the middle. Choza's expansion jutsu then wore off and her fell to the ground lifeless; Tsubaki then dropped to the ground.
Tsubaki landed and felt a stinging pain go through her legs "damn I think I over did it when charging up my legs" she said stretching her legs "ok then; lets get back into the fight" Tsubaki said as she began to run through the village.
With Sarada
Sarada arrived to the rallying point and saw Jiraya, Yugao, Yugito, Anko, Hayate and the Kumo anbu waiting.
"Sorry I'm late" Sarada said and Jiraya raised up his hand.
"You're on time actually" Jiraya said "you ready to do this" Jiraya asked and Sarada nodded.
"I'm ready Jiraya" Sarada said "Danzo will pay for his crimes" she said.
Jiraya smiled and nodded "lets go kill this prick" Jiraya said as he began to lead Sarada and the rest of the group to Danzo's base.
Konoha council chambers
"Sand Burial" Gaara shouted as he crushed the last of the Konoha civilian council; Gaara turned around and saw Samui wiping blood off her blade.
"That sand is pretty cool" she said sheathing her tanto.
"I appreciate the complement" Gaara said "your blade skills are also very 'cool'" he said with a small smile.
"Can you 2 please stop flirting and focus on the mission" Kankuro shouted as he took out the body from his iron maiden puppet.
Gaara was about to respond until he heard his communicator go off.
"Gaara it's Naruto" Naruto shouted over the intercom "we're in some serious shit at the arena; get over here and help us" he shouted before he got cut off.
"Uzumaki and the others are in trouble at the arena" Gaara said and Samui nodded.
"Let's go and help them then" Samui said; Gaara grabbed onto Samui and the 2 disappeared in a swirl of sand.
"Hey you left me behind you dick" Kankuro shouted as he rushed out of the chamber and began to run over to the arena.
