Leaf and Earth versus Sand and Sound: Part 1
Tsunade and Akari landed near the hospital among several anbu and told them.
"Anbu, protect the outside of the hospital while we evacuate the civilians." she said
The 4 anbu nodded and began to move and take positions around the hospital and start slashing through multiple enemy ninja with the help of nearby leaf bi.
'Dammit, I need an extra hand to evacuate the civilians and Shizune isn't here!' Tsunade thought
Inside the hospital:
He was having a nightmare. He saw his father Mukai standing before him with a genuine smile. Soon he saw his teacher Genma and his teammates: Mina and Akino standing with them. Soon he saw his best friend Kabuto. Finally he saw another one of his good friends Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze standing next to him. Then his father disappeared and only the others remain. Suddenly they disappeared and a giant yellow eye with a slit was looking at him.
"You can't have both kukuku" a sinister voice said to him.
"You! Why're you here?"
Soon his curse mark began to activate unconsciously.
"You will have to escape the shadows of the leaf to see the sun."
"What does that mean?"
"Kukuku, which one will you choose? Especially when they both want what's best for you"
Suddenly there were multiple hand grabbing onto him pulling him in different directions.
"Argh! What is this?!" He yelled in anger
Sozu Kohinata woke up hearing explosions. Soon he sat up out of bed and looked to see the village on fire and his eyes widened.
"Wh-what is this? An invasion?" he began to stand up as he grabbed his side remembering his injury.
He walked towards the window, witnessing the carnage of the ninjas slaughtering one another and he gripped his fists tight.
"So it seems that war is upon us and the Sound and Sand have betrayed us!" Sozu said as he turned around and ran out of the room. He saw that the hospital patients were being evacuated by the medical staff.
He soon fell in line and made his way towards the crowd. He continued to follow while wondering if sitting back is a good idea due to the fact that he is just recovering. As he continued with the other patients he heard another explosion and the shockwave from it rattled the building and he heard several windows break. He saw 2 sound ninja leap in through the window and soon he continued to leapt into action towards them and kicked one of the ninjas in the face and he spun around and snatched a kunai knife out of the downed ninjas pouch and he proceeded to stab the other ninja in the neck.
The other ninja drew a knife after getting back up and then he lunged at Sozu. The brunette boy smirked as he dodged with a spin step and stabbed him in the neck. The blood began to spurt as he jumped back and leapt backwards and told the patients to keep going. He turned on his Sekigan as he looked over and saw a large power power approaching from the hallway behind. He saw a man with a blue cap, blue cape with golden leather and symbols on them with a sound note on the side of his cape. He wore blue pants with two golden lines down the middle of the pants with brown warrior boots. He had blonde hair and cyan colored eyes as his body began to glow a neon purple aura.
"Humph, so you're just a brat, but you got rid of those two chunin huh? Poor weaklings"
"Who are you?"
"What's it to you brat?"
"I want to know the bastard I plan to kill!"
"Ohhhh, well lucky for you I like for my victims to look their killers in the eyes. My name's Ed, and I'll be your executioner!"
He opened his hand and shot out a purple whip of ki at Sozu who dodged the attack as he retaliated and he went through hand signs holding his hands out as a blue flame began to form in front of his hands.
"Fire style: Azure Blue!"
He shot the blue bullet of fire at Ed who channeled the neon purple aura around his fist and punched a ki blast towards the Azure bullet tearing through the attack. He had to dodge the purple blast of psycho power as he landed with a bead of sweat on his brow. Abruptly he dodged another whip of ki as he jumped up going through hand signs and he ended on the tiger sign.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bullet!"
He blew out a giant bullet of fire at his opponent who dodged and caused part of the building to explode. Tsunade heard the explosion and gestured for Akari to go and check it out.
As she jumped and started running up the building she saw smoke on the distant side of the hospital and she sped up. But as she was approaching the explosion, she had to dodge a clawed hand of a masked shirtless man with black pants, black boots and a bare chested. He wore a snake tattoo across his chest and he had brunette hair with a long ponytail.
"Great, now we've got more problems!" she said as she drew a kunai from her red kimono.

In the middle of the Leaf Village, Vegeta was on the way towards the battle when he suddenly felt a malicious ki towards the Leaf Police Station. He grimaced as he felt torn between confronting the familiar ki that felt like he father's and the new malicious ki. He realized that the 5 tailed Jinchuuriki and his team members could handle him and he realized that he could leave his father to the Stone bi. He knew that if he didn't stop the evil presence there would be trouble.
He began to fly towards the police station with a manic grin on his face. He saw several dead ninja littering the ground as he landed in front of the building. He was looking around and suddenly heard glass from the building breaking as a ninja was kicked out of the building through the window. He saw a man in an orange mask in a black cloak with red clouds decorating it. He looked to see Vegeta in a blue tank top with his leaf police crest on his jonin jacket. He wore baggy blue pants and his signature white boots with yellow tips.
"So you're a part of that group that's hunting the jinchuuriki? And you dare to attack my home. You dare to kill the bi of this village?" His blue aura began to wrap around his body as he noticed the eye from behind the mask and he smirked
"Oh a sharingan? You must be the one who attacked the village and killed the boys father are you not?"
Obito was surprised but not afraid.
"So, you know of me, but what will you do now? You can't believe that you will be able to be me knowing I used the 9 tails to destroy your village do you?" he asked
Vegeta smirked as his aura danced in a wave-like form around him.
"Fool, your sharingan cannot control a Saiyan. Whether we wield ki or not. Not even the mightiest of your clan could stop my father King Vegeta!"
Obito smirked behind his mask as he spoke
"I am that man your father fought. I am Madara Uchiha!"
Vegeta smirked as he got into his fighting stance. Obito stood waiting for him to attack. Vegeta leapt towards him throwing a punch as he went through Obito as his body was transparent. He grimaced as he dodge a grab from Obito and he channeled ki outside of his body causing a Kiai blast to push Obito back while he was still tangible.
"Oh so you can be hit. Hahaha!"
Obito was surprised as he regained his balance flipping and landing on both feet.
'How can he do that? W-what kind of attack was that? I'm not too familiar with the art of ki, but only Nagato should be able to do something like that!' he thought
He drew a kunai and stood his ground waiting for Vegeta to make the next move.
"Well now, you may yet live up to the name of your father after all. Show me what you're capable of Saiyan!" he said in anger
Vegeta channeled ki in his right hand and built up a large blue orb in his hands.
"Big Bang Attack!"
He shot the blue orb at Obito who became intangible as he leapt towards Vegeta to punch him. Vegeta dodged and kicked towards his stomach but his leg went through him. He smirked as he brought his leg back down smashing his heel into the ground, but he noticed that his opponent was still intangible again. He jumped back and landed in with a smirk on his face. The Saiyan realized that his opponent was waiting for him and he realized that the Uchiha wasn't attacking him when he was intangible.
The masked man realized that his opponent was more powerful than was strong and that he needed to end this quickly. Obito's body flickered towards Vegeta with great speed and Vegeta matched him. He activated his sharingan and a swirl began to activate and he grabbed towards Vegeta. Vegeta smirked as his aura channeled and he sent a wave of aura towards his opponent sending the Uchiha flying away from him abruptly. He landed standing horizontally on the building as he went through hand signs ending on the tiger seal.
"Fire style: Fire ball Jutsu!"
He blew a large ball of fire towards the Saiyan as Vegeta grunted and shot a ki blast towards the fire ball, triggering a massive explosion that enveloped the area.

Back in the stadium:
Noridasu and Kumiko were rushing through the crowd with Mito. 4 fighters landed in front of them as. One of them had blond hair and a mask with a black vest on with a long sleeve tan shirt, black pants and black bi sandals. The other 3 wore pink haori, black pants and black material arts shoes. One of them looked like an elder with a long pony-tail, another was tall, bald and he had 3 eyes, the next was short with a black cap with a red ball on top and wide eyes. His clothes looked a bit big on him.
"Noridasu Namikaze, we challenge you to a battle of the death!" The elder man said
"Kumiko, get Mito and leave."
She nodded and began to leave, but she had to dodge a tri-pronged kunai that was thrown at her.
"W-what? But thats-"
She was cut off as the blonde hair masked man appeared behind her with a tri-pronged kunai to her back. She looked at him in surprise as she held Mito close to her.
"Is that…brothers attack?" she asked
"Y-yes, but I'm…not sure why he can use it?"
As he drew a kunai to slash her, he was stopped by Kenji Namikaze who gripped the sound ninja's wrist.
"There's no way you're gonna get your hands on my grandmother and my sister!" He tightened his grip on the wrist of his opponent, and kicked at him, but the man drew another tri-pronged kunai and stabbed at him causing him to dodge the slash and let go of his opponent who disappeared. Kenji stretched out his senses and searched for his opponent and he grimaced. He created 10 shadow clones and instructed them to help evacuate the citizens as he body flickered towards his opponent landing atop of the heads of the 4 Hokage.
"How do you know the Hiraishin? Who are you?" Kenji questioned
The blonde haired man in front of him was quiet as he held his tri-pronged kunai at the ready.
"You desecrate my fathers memory and you attack my family? I cannot allow you to live" he said as got into a battle stance easing towards his opponent.
They began to walk in a circle sizing each other up as they waited to attack one another. There was a moment of hesitation from his opponent and Kenji threw a Hiraishin kunai at his opponent. The masked man dodged and kicked at Kenji who caught his foot and pushed him back. But soon the masked man threw a kunai at Kenji who dodged but he reappeared palm striking towards Kenji who pushed the attack aside, and then he sent a vertical upward slash at his opponent. The masked blond man leaned back and threw a kunai backwards teleporting a ways back. Kenji grimaced as he realized his opponent was well practiced in the flying thunder god formations as he was.
He drew his sword channeling wind and fire chakra into the blade causing it to turn orange. He began to throw tri-pronged kunai among the Hokage's heads as he held his sword in his right hand and the Hiraishin kunai in his left.
"Last chance! Who are you?" he asked annoyed
There was no reply to his words, causing Kenji to tighten his grip on his sword. He jumped towards his opponent and he swung his orange tanto at his opponent, but the masked man dodged. He spun around to meet a stab coming from the masked man and their tri-pronged kunai clashed. The steel between their blades began to sizzle and they jumped backwards from one another and Kenji teleported behind his opponent but the masked man blocked his attack.
The masked man teleported to one of the few kunai he had stabbed into the ground. As he teleported away he threw 3 tri-pronged kunai in his fellow blondes typical direction. The Namikaze realized that his opponent was playing the same game that he was and he teleported to a kunai behind him but when he did, so did his opponent. The masked man reappeared as he went through hand signs, casting a grand fireball towards him causing him to teleport away. Kenji teleported behind him trying to slash through him with his chakra coated tanto. The masked bi dodged, and his mask received a slash as he fell back. The mask fell apart and he saw it fall as he got a look at the man's face.
"You! You can't be!" Kenji said as he got a look at the mans face

With Pakkun, Naruto, Hinata and Shikamaru:
They were leaping through the forest towards Gaara and Sasuke. Soon they saw the body of a dead bi, and his body was littered with bugs.
"Looks like we aren't the only ones following Sasuke" he said
"Hopefully, and Sasuke are ok" Hinata said
"This is such a drag. But, if we left those two by themselves they might die" Shikamaru said as they made their way towards the upcoming battle.
Naruto's fists tightened as he thought of the fact that Sasuke and were outnumbered and
He didn't know if Sasuke could fight the unstable jinchuuriki. He didn't want to be too late.
"Don't worry, we're on his trail. And he's closer than you think" Pakkun said
'Sasuke, , don't do anything risky' he thought
In the Uchiha compound:
Fugaku Uchiha and several other Uchiha bi were evacuating the citizens when he heard screams coming from afar. He looked over at his eldest son Itachi and his nephew Shisui and they leapt into action. They left the evacuation to the other Uchiha police as they went to check out the disturbance near them. Fugaku and his charge landed in a street a few blocks away seeing three figures dressed in black cloaks while the one in the middle had red clouds on his. They had blood on their kunai as the street had several leaf ninja lying dead. Some of them were Uchiha and some were not. They looked in the figures' eyes and activated their sharingan.
"Who are you and why do you have the Sharingan?" Fugaku asked with annoyance in his voice
"Ohhh, you believe that the Uchiha were the only ones with the Sharingan? Or did you forget the Fuma clan?" the man asked
"Fuma? Weren't you all extinct after the end of the 3rd bi war?" Fugaku asked
"Yes, we live on" he said as he took addressed Fugaku
"My name is Sosetsu Fuma. This is my brother Jinrai Fuma and my sister Nao Fuma. We are the greatest of our kind and represent 3 of the last 4 Fuma."
"Itachi, Shisui, get ready this won't be easy"
The two nodded as they got into their intercepting fist stances.
"This will be a battle of the ages. The Uchiha clan will end here!" Sosetsu said
Fugaku drew a kunai from his kunai as he braced himself for an attack. Sosetsu drew a scroll, opened it and bit his thumb and rubbed blood across it, putting his hand in the ram seal. He summoned a scythe with a black blade. His fist tightened around his scythe as he leapt towards Fugaku who drew a kunai and channeled fire chakra into it blocked the attack, but the scythe torre through the kunai causing him to jump backwards as he received a slash across his vest but he wasn't cut.
Itachi and Shisui also body flickered across the battlefield clashing with their opponents. Shisui being faster than his opponent kicked Nao through a building window and he pursued her drawing a tanto of his own. Itachi blocked an attack from Jinrai and then he received a stab in his chest.
"Hah, weakling! Looks like I just evened out the numbers"
"Think again." Itachi said with a smirk
Suddenly, Itachi turned into a murder of crows flying around Jinrai's head. As he tried to get away from the crows, he noticed Itachi who came in slashing at him, but he dodged as his hair was slash. He jumped back going through hand signs as he yelled
"Lightning style: Lightning signal flare!" he yelled, sending a blast of lightning at Itachi who dodged as he went through hand signs.
"Fire style: phoenix flower jutsu!"
He blew 6 bursts of smaller fireballs at him causing the Fuma clan member to dodge. As they leapt further away from the battle of Fugaku and Sosetsu. He knew this would be a tough battle as he threw several shuriken at his opponent who dodged and threw a hail of kunai towards him. His sharingan saw that there was poison covering the kunai as he made sure not to be hit by them.

Neji, Hiashi and Hisashi were having a stand off again against the members of the Kurama clan who had killed several Hyuga members. They had rushed back from the stadium as they wanted to evacuate their clansmen.
"Looks like we'll get to kill the best of those of the all seeing eyes" Yakumo said with a glare on her face
She put her hands in the ram seal as she began to cast a genjutsu and it became very realistic. The other 2 joined in as their chakra began to combine. The very world around them began to change as the ground began to wobble. All 3 of the Hyuga jumped away as a giant chimera hand tore out of the ground. It had a Tiger and a goat's head. Soon the rest of the beasts climbed out of the ground and had a snake's tail. The beast roared and went on to attack Hiashi and Hisashi. Meanwhile Neji was being attacked by Senjoru who had tried to stab him with a tachi katana. He channeled chakra around his hands and used them to block the blade slashed.
Soon he found himself dodging with barely any room to strike back. He jumped back and began to spin as his chakra became visible.
"8 Trigram Palm Rotation!"
He sent his opponent flying backwards but Senjoru flipped and landed as he got back into his fighting stance. Senjoru used the body flicker causing Neji to have to dodge even faster but he took a diagonal slash across his chest but it was shallow. He jumped backwards and took out a kunai and he got into his gentle fist battle stance. As Senjoru moved in to continue his attack he had to jump back as a hail of kunai landed in front of him. Ko Hyuga landed next to Neji and said
"This opponent is dangerous, we take him together!"
"Right" Neji replied
Senjoru leapt into battle as he smirked, moving faster than normal as he moved in with his sword. They noticed that Senjoru was moving faster than normal. They both had their Byakugan active and Ko jumped in saying
"Figure out what's going on! I'll hold him off" he said
Neji tried to genjutsu kai through their attacks and he realized he couldn't break their technique. This was a bit annoying as he had to figure something out as the Kurama clan was notorious for their realistic illusion. He noticed that just because that even though it's realistic it's just an illusion. He realized that he would need to question what was real and what wasn't. He continued to watch the battle and analyzed Senjoru's movements. He noticed that the Kurama member was moving in a particular manner. He realized that the genjutsu user was dodging the gentle fist strikes and keeping his distance with his sword.
"Ko, he's using genjutsu to make himself appear faster, but he's avoiding getting his chakra points blocked."
Senjoru scoffed as he gathered chakra in his sword.
"You think that just because you know my secret that I don't have a contingency?"
Ko smirked as Neji joined together and they launched into battle to attack him. Suddenly his hand had two dark diamonds appear on the front of his hand.
"Darkness Release: Maken no Hado! (Demon Sword Wave)"
A crescent wave of black aura coated in white outlining was sent towards the two as the jumped apart.
Neji responded by throwing out several kunai with paper bomb tags attached. Ko ran behind the hail of kunai as Neji continued to cover him with kunai and shuriken. Senjoru jumped as he sent out another Demon Sword Wave towards Ko, who substituted but didn't come out unscathed. He received a slash along his waist, but it was shallow. Senjoru was smart as he didn't pursue Ko, instead he focused on Neji who was standing in his gentle fist stance. The Hyuga clan prodigy smirked as he held out his hand,
"8 Trigrams: Air Palm!"
He sent out a gut of air, which surprised Senjoru who dodged. But as he dodged he had to block a kunai stab from Ko with his sword as he was pushed back.
"Tch, you bastards! Don't think you've got me yet he said."

With Sasuke:
He was chasing after the sand siblings as he leapt through the branches. As he landed on the next branch he heard a sizzling sound and he smirked. His body became super charged with lightning as he began to leap through the trees and he had passed through the explosions. His electric body flicker technique had him jumping, leaping and sliding through the forest. He drew his tanto and deflected several knives that flew towards him.
'They think this'll slow me down? Please, there's no way I'll let them get away' he thought
As the explosions stopped Sasuke had to dodge a puppet from swiping with its knife towards him. As he landed he smirked at Kankuro.
"Oh? So you wanna stand in my way of stopping your brother huh? There's no way I'll let you unleash the one tails" he said as he activated his sharingan.
Sasuke pointed his tanto at Kankuro when suddenly a flock of insects began to form into Aburame.
"So you caught up after all?" Sasuke said with a smirk
"Of course, now go. I'll take care of this guy" said as he stood with insects crawling out of his coat.
Sasuke leapt past and Kankuro tried to send his puppet after Sasuke. leapt into action and sent a flock of insects at the puppet.
"Grrgh! Bastard! I'll take care of you first!" the sand ninja said as he pulled his puppet back.
They had a standoff as their eyes locked. They were plotting their next moves as they felt one another out. Soon Kankuro sent his puppet towards and flexed his hand as the puppet drew a blade with poisonous liquid. jumped out of the way as the blade stabbed into the tree and he saw the poison seeping into the bark of the tree.
"A poisonous blade huh? He may have more than one" said
Kankuro flexed his hands as the puppet drew another blade and began to swipe at again making him jump backwards onto another branch. Soon the puppet charged him again, causing him to take the low ground and hide in a set of bushes. Kankuro smirked as he sent the puppet towards and he threw a kunai and shuriken at the doll, but it substituted with a log. Soon, the puppet leapt through the bushes
"No you don't! Take this!"
The puppet opened its mouth and shot a few blades towards Aburame. The knives piered his chest and head.
"Yes! That did it!"
Suddenly became a clone made of insects sinking back to the branch and they began to spread apart
"Shit! Where is he?"
Soon leapt in and swung a fist at Kankuro as he dodged and jumped backwards to another branch.
"Tch, those bugs again! Looks like you got the drop on me eh?"
"Of course. Since you use that puppet, you leave defense open when you try to attack me"
Kankuro made a gesture with his puppet as his arm flipped up revealing an arm cannon.
"Humph, thanks for the breakdown, but you can't think this is all I've got you now!"
looked over at the puppet as he saw it shoot a poison pellet at him. He tried to summon his insects as a shield and jump back from the smoke but he failed as he was engulfed into the purple poisonous cloud. He leapt out of the cloud and landed on a branch above him. He was breathing heavy as he had got a whiff of the poison.
'Dammit, I see now. He's waiting for his poison to take effect on me while he hides in his surroundings' thought
Kankuro was hiding 5 meters away from as he observed his opponent with a satisfied glint in his eyes. He began to manipulate his puppet and raise the doll up behind quietly. He sent the doll towards with a poisonous blade drawn to stab towards him. Suddenly the body of began to turn into a flock of insects. This caused Kankuro to widen his eyes as he frantically began to search for
"Bastard, he's used the darned insects again! Where is he now?"
He soon heard huffing from exhaustion and effects of the poison, hanging from the side of a tree branch.
"Heh, gottem!" he thought as he tried to manipulate his puppet.
Abruptly, he realized he couldn't move the doll.
"What? What's happening?" He said out loud in frustration.
Soon, a flock of insects began to crawl from inside of the puppet rendering it unable to move. Soon the insects began to crawl up the chakra strings manipulating the puppet. Kankuro soon had cut the strings of the puppet, whipping them around making the insects fly all over the place.
"I forgot that these things can eat chakra! Damn!"
He began to manipulate the head of his Crow puppet. He tore the head off of the beast with a string and whirled it around on a puppet string to open its mouth and a sharp blade protruded from its mouth and had it fly towards whoever was hanging onto the tree branch.
"Don't you underestimate me dammit! You got over confident hahaha"
As he had almost stabbed Aburame he heard his puppet head stopped and suddenly fell from the ground.
"Dammit! What the?"
Soon he looked at his hands and saw bugs crawling all over him. He shrieked in horror as he yelled and tried to escape by jumping out of the bushes only to fall after feeling his chakra levels tank on him.
"Urgh! How? How did you even get me?"
"When I swung at you in the beginning. A female beatle was attached to you allowing my hive to sense your presence." he said
He dropped to one knee as he began to breathe heavier.
"D-darn, the poison…its taking effect even more now" he said as he finally fell forward into unconsciousness. Kankuro himself also fell unconscious as the bugs drained him of all his chakra.
"Hahaha, you're good…but Gaara will kill the Uchiha…" Kankuro said as he passed out.
With Naruto and co.
Pakkun sniffed the air,
"Hey, you all need to pick up the pace. I smell 5 enemies behind us."
"Shit, you gotta be kidding me" Shikamaru said
"They haven't gotten our position yet, but it seems they're closing in on us. Look out for surprise attacks"
"Jeez, they're probably chunin level and beyond. If they catch up with us we'll be annihilated"
"Well, If that's the case then we'll ambush'em back" Naruto said
Hinata's face contorted in horror as she looked around for any foreign presences..
"It's no use. If they're with Orochimaru, a former leaf bi, then they might have the drop on us if we're not careful" Pakkun said
"Well all we have to do is-"
"No, you need to think!" Shikamaru said
They all looked at him as he continued to speak
"An ambush sounds good but we need two necessary elements that must be met: The first is that those fleeing must move without making noise and discover the enemy first. Second is to locate and conceal ourselves in a place or position to ensure we have an effective strategy. The first isn't so hard because we have Pakkun's nose and Hinata's Byakugan, but the second is a bit difficult, because the enemy is familiar with the home turf, plus these ninja probably mastered the art of hunting. These guys have probably practiced mock combat and tracking for this occasion. They're organized while we're not."
They grimaced in annoyance at the reality of their situation.
"There is one way that can work. One of us would have to be left behind. It would be a way to create a diversion and delay them. Faking an ambush, you know"
"In other words, a decoy" Hinata said
"Thats right. If they're stalled they won't be able to locate the remaining 3. If we do this we'll be able to lose the trackers, but the one who stays behind will probably die" Shikamaru said solemnly
"So who is it going to be?"
"Ok I'll-"
"It can't be you, you're one of the few who can take care of Gaara." Shikamaru said
"He's right Naruto, it has to be either myself or Shikamaru."
"Perhaps you should both stay, after all, your shadow paralysis and the gentle fist could be deadly" Pakkun said
"Hmmm, he might be right. Perhaps that'll be what we need in order to defeat the enemy and catch back up to you two" Hinata said
Hinata stopped on a branch and Shikamaru grabbed a branch and flipped over to be in a turned around position. Hinata activated her Byakugan as she turned around.
"Are you sure?" Naruto said as he and Pakkun stopped
"Yea, just go already, we'll catch up" Shikamaru said
Naruto nodded and leapt away with Pakkun towards Gaara and the sand siblings.
'You guys better catch up!' Naruto thought as he leapt ahead
'Kit, you'd better use my chakra against the one tails. This brat is willing to allow Shukaku to take over. Though he's not the only threat around here. Your Uchiha friend with the Rinnegan should be able to handle my foolish brother but I warn you to be on guard.' Kurama said through the mental link.
Soon Shikamaru went on to make fake tracks and Hinata looked around to check for enemies. He began to make dog tracks and footprints go in a different direction.
"I take it you know exactly what I'm doing" Shikamaru said
"Yes, I realize that you need to make fake tracks and we will need to find places to hide ourselves soon" she said
Soon they began to set up shop and make plans for a decoy ambush.
Back in the chunin exams area:
Wukong stood with Hiruzen as they both held their staff at the ready.
"Lord Tsuchikage, I have a method of stopping them both. I will use a sealing technique that the 4th used to stop them. Afterwards I will be incapacitated from battle."
Wukong nodded as he had a serious look on his face.
"Alright, I'll deal with them while you use that seal on my father and the 1st Hokage"
Hiruzen began to go through several hand signs and Wukong leapt forward. The palm tree haired Saiyan used his staff to extend, but the 1st Hokage used part of his Deep Forest Emergence vines to grab the extending staff. Wukong cursed as he body flickered around in an afterimage. He figured he would have to use his speed to outmaneuver his opponents. He was so wrong. In fact, he was dodging roots that were trying to pierce him. Next Bardock appeared before him and he had to dodge. He laced his hands together and smashed them into the back of his opponent, sending him into the ground. Next, he afterimaged out of the way of a wood clone of the 1st Hokage and he shot a ki blast into the back of the construct. He body flickered towards the deceased Hokage charging up a ki blast. Suddenly, he had to dodge the blade of Kusanagi and send a ki blast towards Orochimaru. His body flickered around his two opponents and began to send out taijutsu acts towards them. Orochimaru and Hashirama were receiving a hell of beating then he jumped up away from them and held out his hands.
"Particle style: Detachment of the Primitive World!"
Unlike the third Tsuchikage's technique, the formation of a clear cube with a ball in the middlehis was in the shape of a sphere with a cube inside of it.
"What!" Orochimaru yelled as he performed a substitution with a nearby log.
Hashirama used a shield made of wood to block the attack. Wukong went in on Orochimaru and dodged a horizontal sword slash and did a drop kick off the back of the Sannin's head and then he cupped his hands in front of him shooting out a kiai wave at him smashing him into the ground. Abruptly he was hit in his ribs by Bardock's elbow from the side.
"Urgh!, when did he-"
Soon he had to dodge a flying sword as it brushed by his hair cutting a few locks. He had to cross both arms as he was punched by Hashirama, causing him to skid across the ground and smash into a tree.
"Wow, he's not the 1st Hokage for nothing. Whoa!" he yelled as he was almost stabbed by a sharpened tree branch as he moved at the last minute. He body flickered across the field as he saw Orochimaru about to send Bardock after Hiruzen. He had to dodge several spikes rising from the ground trying to impale him. He kicked off the ground and spun around to land, turning towards his opponents.
He gathered chakra into his hands and created a particle style sphere into his hands.
"Particle style:Primitive World Barrage!"
He shot out multiple small dust release spheres towards his opponents. Bardock put his hands out in front of him and shot out multiple ki blasts to match, causing a large amount of explosions and giant flashing light from the energy in the attacks. This caused smoke, dust and debris to be kicked up as the attacks stopped. Wukong was standing strong, but he knew he had to hold out until the 3rd Hokage could end this.
As the smoke cleared, he saw the 1st Hokage with his hands in the ram seal.
"Genjutsu: Bringer Of Darkness!"
Suddenly a wave of Darkness washed over him, but he seemed ready and closed his eyes as he stood ready. Bardock flew towards him with his fist raised but to his surprise he was dodged and kicked away sending him flying.
Hashirama came running in next as Wukong blocked all of his attacks and he elbow struck his opponent breaking his neck sending him sailing back. Soon, they got back up and launched at Wukong who smirked and jumped. They were met by a clone of Hiruzen and himself grabbing onto them. Suddenly an ethereal hand made of chakra grabbed them and ripped into their bodies.
"Seal Technique: Dead Demon Imprisonment! (Shiki Fuujin)"
The hand began to snatch out their souls from the Edo Tensei.
"What! When did he learn that?" Orochimaru yelled as he tried to attack but he had to dodged a ki blast. He failed as he received a wound in his side ribcage. He looked down to see his ribcage burning in pain. His mouth open irregularly and a new and improved version crawled of his own skin.
"Saru, I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry my friend" Hashirama said
"It's fine, my mentor. Rest easy now" he replied
"Kakarot, my son, you've become a fine warrior. I'm proud of you. I, just wish we could've met under different circumstances"
"It's alright dad, we'll have our time to talk when I meet you again in the pure world" Wukong said
As the Edo Tensei disappeared they saw two sound genin fall to the ground dead.
"You…would use your own subordinates as test subjects. I taught you better than that didn't I?" Hiruzen said in a sad tone.
Wukong lifted his hand and his power pole flew into his hand and got into a battle stance as he and Orochimaru remained silent as he pointed his sword.
"So you chose to fall this far because you couldn't become Hokage? You know the history of our home! What drove you to this?" Hiruzen asked
Suddenly he dropped to his knees as he coughed up blood.
"Urgh! Ack! Ack!"
Orochimaru smirked and leapt into action running towards Hiruzen. Wukong jumped in front of him and swung his staff toward the Hebi Sannin and Orochimaru blocked with his sword and used his left hand pointing it at Wukong.
"Striking Shadow Snakes!"
Wukong used a kiai to push the Sannin back but he substituted with a leftover log from the 1st Hokages jutsu. Wukong had to jump as the snake Sannin tore through the ground trying to stab at him. Orochimaru threw his sword at Hiruzen who was trying to stand up. The Hokage fell to the side as he barely dodged. Wukong flew back down to stomp him but Orochimaru rolled out of the way going through hand signs.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Spear Shuriken!"
The Sannin blew out a compressed wave of air on his shuriken and then he threw them at Wukong who had to dodge one and parry two of them. Hiruzen stood up as he tried to get up and find a way to disable the barrier. Orochimaru smirked as he made a gesture with his hand and took control with his wind chakra and used it to stab the through the stomach of the Hokage.
"Urgh!"
Hiruzen looked down at his stomach in shock. Wukong looked around to see Hiruzen's state.
"LORD HOKAGE!"
His golden and black eyes narrowed as he leapt towards his fellow Kage trying to help him. He took a hold of the Kusanagi and began to gently pull it out. He felt for a senzu bean in his pouch and he froze in fear.
"NO! Of all the times! Lord Hiruzen, hold on please!" he said as he laid the man down slowly.
He looked up to see Orochimaru laughing as his arms raised in a holier than thou grandiose gesture.
"You will be the next Tsuchikage!"
The Hebi Sannin made a gesture to control his sword with wind chakra and sent it towards him. Wukong channeled his aura and funneled it into his staff as he batted away the blade, sending it back stabbing into the roof tiling. Hiruzen put a hand on Wukong's shoulder.
"P-please. I've…failed them already…please, keep the village safe" Hiruzen said
Wukong nodded as he couldn't say much more.
"He-he was… my student. I-I failed to kill him because I…saw faith in him. But now…I know…he can't be saved. Don't mind me…my time…has come"
Wukong nodded as he looked up at the Snake Sannin in disgust as his aura shifted around him. Wukong looked around to see all of the ninja holding the 4 cornered barrier. He put his staff away and held his hand up and a condensed yellow ki orb formed in his hand. Soon it began to enlarge as it became the size of a beach ball.
"Omega Riot Javelin!" he sent the blast towards the red headed woman. She could feel the heat of the attack as she had to get out of her stance in the seal to avoid being eviscerated by the attack. Soon the 4 corner barrier came down and Wukong flew upwards as high as possible, holding onto Hiruzen. He saw the destruction of the village and realized what he had to do as he flew towards the hospital.
"Damn You!" Orochimaru yelled as he tried to send snakes towards Wukong who dodged.
As he rushed through the air he could feel the last of Hiruzen's life force leaving him. He saw Akari fighting against her masked opponent and he came in to knee him in the face breaking his mask and sending him flying through a building window. He landed near her as she was outside of the hospital and laid Hiruzen down before her.
"Can you heal him?" he asked as he looked forward toward the enemy
"I-I'll try!" she said as she almost freaked out that the Hokage was bleeding out next to her. SHe began to activate the mystical palm jutsu to heal him along with using some bandages she had in her kunai pouch to stop the bleeding.
Soon he heard the building explode and an injured Sozu was dodging Ed's psycho blasts. Next he saw Balrog flying across the hospital courtyard as Tsunade leapt away from the battle scene to continue to protect and evacuate the hospital with the anbu she brought with her. Sozu lands behind the Tsuchikage with his back to him. He peeked behind him and did a double take.
"L-lord Hokage!"
"Don't worry about him now! She's healing him, but we need to keep the heat off them! Now get ready!"
Ed and Vega began to walk forward ready to charge towards them.
"Hahahahah, I see why these losers were having so much trouble now"
A young girl with long black hair and purple highlights. She wore a purple crop top, black martial arts pants and black martial arts shoes with purple bottoms.
"Juri, you vulgar rotten fruit, what are you doing here?"
Said woman scoffed at Vega as she got into her fighting stance.
"Helping you to not get your ass kicked, now stand aside!"
Wukong smirked as he got into his Kame house fist stance.
"Actually! Why don't you both fight me?" he said as his aura danced around him
Vega cracked his knuckles and Juri got into her fighting stance
"Fine, but don't cry when you get a booboo tough guy!"
Back at the stadium:
Orochimaru looked at the carnage around him with a smirk. He knew he needed to finish this village off as he would rebuild it in his image when suddenly Kurenai, Kakashi, Asuma, and Gai landed.
"Oh my dear Anko, you seem to be doing well."
"Orochimaru, today is the day that you leave this world!" she said with anger in her voice
The sound ninja four landed before them as they got into their fighting stances
"Humph, you'll be following the 3rd Hokage to the net world very soon" the Hebi Sannin said
Two more figures landed behind them as Orochimaru turned around to see that it was Anko and Genma. He began to turn to them with his sword drawn as he smirked.
"Oh, this must be a reunion" he said
"Orochimaru, you won't get away with what you've done to our village!" Genma said
Stadium Infirmary:
Gohan was pulling out his IV while Mina, Ryu and Sakura were evacuating the civilians who were still awake. They heard commotion from outside and Mina walked out to see several Sand and Sound ninja knocked out by Kurotsuchi.
"Yo, Gohan get off your ass! We gotta help dad and the Hokage"
He stood and began to walk towards the room exit.
"You're right. I can feel the Hokage's life force fading and there are several people fighting near him. Let's go!"
All 4 of them began to make their way out of the infirmary running towards the hospital. Gohan looked over at Ryu and Sakura and spoke.
"Ryu, Sakura, these civilians need your help. Kurotsuchi and I are gonna help the Hokage!"
The two mentioned genin nodded and they broke off goin back into the upper stairs of the stadium. Gohan and Kurotsuchi went to the exit. Gohan could feel several power levels near his father.
'Hold on dad. We're on the way.' he thought
With Sasuke:
He had been standing across from Temari who had Gaara leaning on her for support.
"There's nowhere to run." Sasuke said
Gaara grunted in anger as he shifted off of Temari and told her
"Temari, run!" he said as he put his hands on his head and sand began to build up on his right side. Half of his face became beast-like and he grew a sand cloaked hand as he saw blue lines across his sandy hand.
"Gaara!" she yelled as he punched her in the stomach sending her fly away from him as she crashed into a tree in the distance
Sasuke activated his Sharingan and his Rinnegan began to glow as well.
"The only Jinchuuriki I've ever fought is Naruto. Let's see if you can match up to him!"
Gaara lunges at Sasuke who drew his tanto and charged lightning into it. He jumped forward, slashing across Gaara's chest, drawing blood.
"Graaaaaagh!" He screamed in anger as he whirled around and swung his sand coated arm at Sasuke who had to block and then he got sent flying through a tree.
"Auugh!"
'Dammit! He packs a hell of a punch!' Sasuke thought as he leapt out of the way of a Gaara launching himself for a follow up attack.
Sasuke began to jump through trees and Gaara held out his hand and shot out multiple sand tendrils towards him. Sasuke looked around for an opening as he kept dodging through the sand tendrils. Soon he gathered fire chakra into his sword and combined it with the lightning chakra making plasma chakra along the sword. He slashed through Gaara's shoulder and kicked off his back flipping onto a higher branch and then he went through one handed hand signs and ended on the tiger seal,
"Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
He blew a giant fireball at Gaara who leapt straight through it and Sasuke smirked as he jumped back as Gaara's body went up diagonal through the branch he was standing on. Sasuke went into his pouch and pulled out 3 shuriken channels lightning into them and threw them at Gaara and put one of his hands in the ram seal
"Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!"
Multiple lightning shuriken tore into Gaara's body as he couldn't block them with his arm made of sand. He landed as his anger and hatred empowered him. Soon he began to grow a tail as his sclera became black and his iris became a golden four point star with four dots around it.
"Sasuke Uchiha! Your DEATH WILL PROVE MY EXISTENCE!"
'Guess it's time that I start using my Dojutsu' he thought as his Sharingan and RinneSharingan began to glow.
His right Sharingan's tomoe began to spin looking into Gaara's eyes. As he began to fall into hypnosis his chakra began to flare as he broke the genjutsu.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU WON'T END IT LIKE THAT!"
Sasuke snorted as he smirked
"It would be disappointing if it did" He said as he channeled his chidori in his left hand
Gaara gave a demonic smile and gripped onto a high branch and wrapped his tail around a low branch as he landed on the branch behind him and pulled himself forward launching himself towards Sasuke. Said Uchiha launched himself towards his opponent and tore through Gaara's sand arm leaving a bloody tear through his right arm. He landed on the ground and turned around as his chidori was still active.
"Hehehehehe….AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! THAT'S IT!"
Temari looked on in awe as Sasuke seemed to be waiting for Gaara, as if he had the power to end this battle if he wanted. Then, Sasuke smirked as Naruto and Pakkun landed behind him.
"Sasuke! You ok?" he asked
"Humph, I'm fine. This guy isn't that tough. I'll be done in 5 minutes"
Gaara grimaces as sand began to cover his entire body as his chakra spiked and he began to become a human sized racoon. His eyes had murder in them and he was ready to kill everyone around him.
"OH! WELL IF YOU THINK YOU CAN END THIS SOON THEN TRY IT!"
"Actually, why don't you let me do this Sasuke. As a Jinchuuriki, I should be the one to do this"
Sasuke deactivated his chidori as he jumped back with a look of slight irritation on his face.
"Che, as annoying as that sounds, it makes sense. Maybe you can fix his seal while you're at it" Sasuke said
Naruto body flickered towards the branches in front of Gaara as he got into his killing fist stance. He pointed his arm towards Sasuke as he smirked at him.
"Hey, we can't let you destroy our village and we won't let you harm our family and comrades. It seems like the one tail is driving you crazy. So, how about we get your seal fixed after this?"
Gaara growled at his new opponent.
"Get out of my way, weakling!"
Naruto's smile disappeared as his body began to flare a red aura and body began to become more feral. Soon his aura began to take the shape of a fox as his canines showed.
"Did you forget what I told you before! I have 9 and you-"
Naruto disappeared, and reappeared slashing through Gaara's sand armor sending him flying through the forest tearing up a crater. His power began to keep rising as he gained a second tail. He leapt forward as a giant arm of sand was sent towards Naruto who dodged all of their attacks and he sent out a chakra arm of his own grabbing onto Gaara and jumping up, yanking his chakra arm and slamming the one tailed container into the ground. He pulled Gaara towards him and smashed his fist into his face, sending him crashing into the ground as he skid across the forest ground.
Gaara was barely able to stand as he looked on in horror. He saw the blonde land and he grimaced at the fact that he was powerless against him. Even if he unleashed the full power of Shukaku, he would probably be defeated by the 9 tails Jinchuuriki.
Suddenly they felt two huge powers as they all looked back towards the village
Xxx
King Vegeta stood before Han clad in his 5 tails cloak. He smirked as he looked at the Jinchuuriki. They had battled through the village till near the outskirts. Krillin and Yamcha were standing with a couple hidden Stone Anbu. 2 of them had been killed throughout the battle against Mizuki and King Vegeta.
"King Vegeta! Use your full power!"
The King's face was lifeless as he created a giant white ball of ki and threw it towards the sky. He clenched his fist and the orb became enlarged. He looked at the orb and his body began to transform as his eyes disappeared and his stature grew. They heard snapping bones and groans of pain as his body grew a huge amount of hair and muscle. He was becoming a giant ape.
"This isn't good" Krillin said
"No kidding" Yamcha said
His purple aura burst around him and his animalistic scream reached all over the village.
In the Uchiha compound:
The Uchiha and the Fuma clansmen stopped. Sosetsu smirked as he looked back towards the Uchiha clansmen. Fugaku, had just dodged an incoming grand fireball technique as he landed behind Itachi and Shisui. They had been fighting back to back as of recently, since the Fuma clan members were stronger than they realized.
"Jinrai, Nao, we're leaving. We've killed half of their clan, let's go" he said as they began to leap backwards from each opponent.
The Uchiha clansmen watched them leave and Fugaku spoke up,
"You all keep watch over the district."
Soon Mikoto and Izumi landed in front of them looking like they too had been through similar battles.
"Fugaku, the village!"
"Mikoto, Izumi, protect the clan and make sure they're evacuated safely. I'm going to the village!" He said he leapt towards the growing oppressive presence. As he was leaving he noticed another explosion in the distance. He saw Vegeta standing in his killing fist stance in mid air looking battle worn.
"Dammit! I'd like to believe in Vegeta, but, I fear I may require his help against this new enemy"
Fugaku leapt towards the battle.
Vegeta was annoyed. He was able to get a few good hits on Obito, but he had to avoid getting trapped into his second dimension. He had seen the opening of the portal swallow up his attacks and send them back at him. This coupled with several fire based jutsu and he was now on the backfoot of the battle as he had to dodge multiple attacks. He still had to find a way to defend and fight back, but he was beginning to realize that this battle would be a war of attrition. As he was thinking of a strategy, he had to dodge a grip from the masked ninja. He smirked as he allowed Obito to punch towards him and he used an afterimage to move faster than his opponent could see to smash his elbow into the side of the masked man's face. He heard the mask crack as he smirked and leapt back as Obito reached back out towards him to grab him again. He allowed him to lunge towards him as he used an especially powerful kiai to push Obito backwards, clearing away all the smoke.
"What's the matter Madara? If you're even him! Hahahahaha! I doubt the great founder of the Uchiha is such a weakling!" he said as he stood ready
He soon had to dodge a fist as he leaned out of the way. He was surprised as he remembered that the man could use some sort of space time ninjutsu. His eye connected as he felt himself almost get dragged into an illusion. His Mangekyo Sharingan was a tad bit more effective towards Vegeta as he only faced a regular fully matured Sharingan. Obito went to grab at him again but then he was kicked in the side of his head as he was sent flying away from Vegeta. The Saiyan regained his bearings as Fugaku landed next to him.
"Humph, looks like you're having some trouble against this one Vegeta"
"I would be disappointed if he was weak. He claims to be the founder of your clan afterall"
Fugaku's eyes widened as he looked toward the man with the cracked mask.
"Humph, so he claims, but the real Madara Uchiha wouldn't have gotten caught off guard so easily"
Vegeta looked towards the village in irritation.
"He's the least of our problems! My father is somehow in the village and has transformed into a giant ape! We need to get rid of him and get to the village now!"
Obito looked over at the battle and smirked
"It seems that everything is in place. I'll be taking my leave now" Obito said as he began to disappear in a swirl
Vegeta snarled.
"I get it now!"
"What?"
"Didn't you notice his cloak? He's part of the akatsuki!"
Fugaku grimaced.
"Dammit! I just fought another akatsuki member! This is bad! Look, I'll find the akatsuki, you go back to the village!" Fugaku said
Vegeta nodded and he flew off towards the village, while Fugaku went to find Naruto.
In the Hyuga compound:
Yakumo looked over at the great ape in the middle of the village and smirked.
"Senjoru, Asuka, let's get out of here, that's our que afterall." she said as they all jumped back, disengaging from combat with the Hyuga members.
"No you don't!" Hiashi yelled as he tried to attack Yakumo again but he was blind sided by a Demonic Sword Wave.
He soon had to jump backwards, flipping away from the attack landing next to Ko, Neji and his brother Hisashi.
"Farewell, Hyuga" Yakumo said as she put her hands in the ram seal and they disappeared.
As they disappeared they saw the great ape form of King Vegeta fighting the Jinchuuriki of the 5 tails.
"Dammit, Neji, finish helping the others evacuate the clan! Ko, Hisashi, you're with me, we're going to stop that thing!"
They leapt towards the village square towards the beast.
"Damn! What the hell is going on today?"
They saw that the village was being destroyed as they saw all the dead bodies of bi and some villagers. In the distance they could see a giant toad fighting several large snakes near the crushed village gates.
"This could be trouble! We're nowhere near done with these opponents. It seems as if we're playing into their hands!"
On top of the Hokage Monument:
Kenji stood with a gash in his left shoulder breathing the formerly masked man had been standing breathing heavy but he had a slash wound across his chest.
"How do you have that face! I watched you die!" he yelled
The formerly masked man had a stoic look on his face. His skin was tan, he had yellow eyes with slit irises and he resembled the 4th Hokage. He smirked as he finally spoke.
"Perhaps you saw your father die, but I'm myself. I'm just a replica of him, made from his DNA combined with my creators"
There was a loud roar throughout the village and they both looked to see a giant ape in the middle of the village fighting the 5 tailed jinchuuriki. In the distance they could see a giant frog fighting several giant snakes.
"And now your village will be destroyed just like it was with your father!" The Minato lookalike said as he teleported towards Kenji who was caught off guard and he stabbed him in the stomach.
"Gurgh!" Kenji fell to one knee holding his stomach as he put his hand over the wound.
The Minato look alike kicked him in the face and caused him to fall over while still holding his stomach wound. Then he went to stab Kenji, but he teleported away.
"Humph, I would follow him, but -"
The Minato look alike turned towards the great ape and teleported away.
In the stadium:
Noridasu was facing General Tao in a standoff. He had received a huge amount of damage from him while protecting Kumiko. Trunks was battling Tien and Chiaotzu to get to his grandfather but he was being held back by Chiaotzu's telekinesis.
"Dammit! Grandpa, hang on!" he yelled
Noridasu kept his eyes on his opponent as he had been fighting throughout the entire battle. His aura was flickering as he had fought with him for so long. General Tao was a bit younger as he was faring a bit better against his opponent because of the age gap.
"What's the matter Namikaze? You need your grandson to save you?"
Noridasu was silent as he fell into a leap towards his opponent. Tao blocked an incoming punch while he tripped him. Noridasu brought a hand out as he fell and pushed himself away from his opponent as he was almost stomped. He rolled over and got back onto his feet. Tao himself lunged towards Noridasu as he stood and performed an elbow strike that he dodged. Noridasu punched him in the ribcage, causing his opponents feet to slide across the ground.
"Rraaagh!"
Noridasu followed through to a straight punch while general Tao blocked the punch and then he attempted to elbow strike him in the temple as he blocked the attack. They went through multiple block strings of each other's attacks and finally Tao performed a counter with a double palm strike to the chest, after blocking his double hammered punch, sending Noridasu flying.
"Urgh!"
Noridasu slammed into the wall coughing up blood. He moves his head out of the way of a punch to smash into the wall. He kicked his opponent away from him and channeled ki into his right hand, shooting a one handed Hadouken towards General Tao and he held up his hand to channel ki into his own hand to counter it pushing the attack back. His feet skid through the stands and he fell over a few people as he kicked off of someone's shoulder and landed at the bottom of the steps and flipped into the ring. As he landed he saw a leaf jonin with a bandana and sunglasses fighting against a sand ninja with a turban and a scarf hanging over half of his face.
He smirked as he pointed his finger and a yellow orb of ki shot out towards Ebisu causing him to dodge. But as he dodged the ki blast his kunai was slashed by Baki's wind blade cutting a deep wound in his chest. He fell and caught himself with one arm from hitting the ground.
"Hrk! Damn….it!" He said as he began to lose consciousness and drift into the pure world
Noridasu landed as he saw Ebisu fall in battle. He Narrowed his eyes on mercenary Tao.
"You treacherous swine! I'll be sure that you join him before the day ends." he said in a fierce anger.
Soon they all heard a loud roar as they felt a shivering tingle go up their spines. Trunks was floating while facing off against Tien and Chioatzu and they saw two large shadows over their own. They all looked over to see Han in his tailed beast state of Kokuo fighting against a giant ape. Tien looks at the destruction of the beast and realizes that he didn't have the heart for this. He looked around at the carnage of the invasion and realized he didn't want this and so he decided to act.
"Hey,"
Trunks looked at him in anger as he tensed, gripping his great Odenta tightened.
"You still wanna go?!"
Tien raised up his hand to stop him from attacking.
"No! If anything…there's no need. I, only thought this would be a battle for the crane school against the Namikaze clan. Chiaotzu and I….we never wanted this!"
"Well it's a fine time to say that now!"
Tien looked down at his hands as he balled up his fists in anger.
"I know, I only did this to fight someone against the Namikaze and the White Lotus clans to test my strength and I knew this was the only way to get you all to fight seriously but-"
"You fucking idiot! I would've fought you outside of this shit! You helped a traitor invade my home! I should gut you where you stand!"
"Tien, should we leave if we're not gonna fight anymore?" Chiaotzu asked
"Chiaotzu, we're switching sides. We only came here to fight the Namikaze, not kill civilians!" he said
"What? Why are we-"
"Look at what's happening! We are partly responsible for this! Like it or not!"
The white skin boy with red circle tattoos on each cheek began to look around as he balled up his fists, then he looked back at Tien and nodded and they proceeded to help fight against the sound and sand shinobi.
Trunks flew off towards the battle with king Vegeta and Kokuo.
With Hinata and Shikamaru:
He and Hinata were hiding in the bushes as they heard a group of ninjas leaping through the trees. Hinata had her Byakugan active as she locked on to all 5 of the ninjas that passed them. The shinobi stopped and traced the tracks as they looked around the forest foliage.
"Heh, foolish brats, they don't know how to cover their tracks" the leader said as he and his shinobi were walking to follow the tracks.
As they got into the sun, they realized that they couldn't move. Suddenly, Shikamaru walked out of the bushes with a smirk on his face.
"What the hell? It's only as a brat."
One of the ninjas landed in the bushes and Hinata spotted him from her vantage point above him. She launched into action as she performed a body flicker and kicked him in his face. Shortly, another ninja was thrown out of the bushes as Hinata came out slamming her palm into his chest, causing them to spit up blood.
"Wh-what the hell is this? We're being dismantled by children?" the leader said
Shikamaru drew a handful of shuriken and kunai and threw them at the shinobi hitting them all in fatal places killing them immediately. Shikamaru's hands shivered but he sighed as he spoke.
"Well, that went better than I thought it would"
Hinata nodded
"Yes, I believe it shows that we have grown from our training. Now we need to go back to Naruto and Sasuke." she said
"Haaaaa, what a drag. Lets go and make sure those two don't get themselves killed" he said
She smirked as she noticed he was sighing but smiling and they both leapt off to back up their comrades.
'Please let us make it in time.' she thought.
Soon, they heard two loud roars and stopped looking back to see a giant ape and a large white horse with a dolphin head and two large horns.
"Wh-what the heck is that?" Shikamaru said
"I-I don't know? But the white horse's chakra reminds me of Naruto's"
Shikamaru grimaced
"We have to trust that the village can handle it. Let's go Hinata!"
She nodded and began to follow after Shikamaru. A hard lump in her throat formed as she looked at the blood on her hands. This was after all, her first kill.
As the left Zetsu rose out of the ground and looked at the two with an evil glint in his eyes.
"It seems we'll be catch the jinchuriki off guard" white Zetsu said
"Just to be safe, we should go and get some insurance." the black half replied
Zetsu's body sank back into the ground as he had an evil smile on his face.
