"How did you get so good with Taijutsu so quickly?!" Sasuke asked, still in a little shock after watching Shino and Lee fight.

"...Shadow Clones," Shino stated as he adjusted his glasses, "In terms of physical strength they can't do much for training. But the raw skill can be transferred over. Sensei made sure all of us could use the technique early on even if Hinata and I could only make a single Clone at first. However, before you ask your Sensei about it, know that it can take quite a toll mentally as the memories are transferred over. I believe that one person was even put into a coma due to the memory transfer," Sasuke nodded. Knowing that the Shadow Clone might simply be out of his reach due the most crucial part of the made Sasuke wonder if he could either learn to overcome the downsides or if he could somehow alter it somehow. He'd bring it up with Asuma-Sensei after the Exam was over. For now he and Gaara turned to leave the booth as their fight was about to begin.

On the way the two were blocked by a pair of thugs who wanted to make sure Gaara would lose due to a bet their boss made however Garra simply used his Sand Whirlpool technique on them making them pass out moments before an Anbu appeared due to sensing a small Chakra Spike from Sasuke, "The fact the two could get back here in the first place is concerning," The Anbu muttered as he put the two in stasis scrolls, "Thank you for not killing them Genin. We will find how they got past our security and take care of it."

The two nodded as the Anbu vanished, "Well that was annoying," Sasuke said as the two continued on their way.

"Agreed," Garra stated, "Thought also concerning. This feels like an inside job if those two could get this far into the stadium."

"Simply means who ever tried it will be seeing Ibiki or Anko instead of a low level interrogator," Sasuke chuckled, "I don't know much about them yet as T&I isn't my focus but from what little I've heard I know those two are terrifying in their element."

When the two arrived and took their spots they simply stood looking at each other instead of taking any specific stance. Gaara with his arms crossed over his chest and Sasuke had his hands resting lazily on his shortswords, "Are both combatants ready?"

"I am," Sasuke said with a nod.

"Ready," Gaara stated in a neutral tone, his eyes never leaving Sasuke.

"Then begin!" Hayate called only to be surprised when both Temari and Kankurō appeared next to Gaara. Hayate raised an eyebrow before saying, "Temari and Kankurō if you don't return to your seats then Gaara and Temari will be disqualified."

As one the siblings reached for their Suna Headbands before throwing them to the ground as they roared, "TO ARMS KONOHA! SUNA AND OTO ARE INVADING AND WE FIGHT WITH YOU!"

Feathers began falling from the sky as a stadium wide Genjutsu was used by several hidden Sand Shinobi trying to put as many civilians to sleep as possible so the Konoha Shinobi would have their hands full however Gaara flared his Chakra sending out a shockwave canceling the Genjutsu. After Gaara released the chakra wave, Baki jumped into the arena and sped towards the ex-Suna Trio with pure rage on his face as he roared, "TRAITORS!"

Sadly for Baki he forgot one of the most important rules of the Shinobi world. Don't become so focused on one target you ignore their allies. Pulling his arms back his Blade of Wind technique active on all ten fingers giving the Suna Jonin a pair of invisible claws that could tear through almost anything he was completely blindsided by a fireball from Sasuke that instantly incinerated his fingers due to how densely concentrated the wind chakra was. Baki's only visible eye went wide as he stumbled and fell to the ground screaming in agony. Hayate quickly knocked him out and sealed him in a scroll as even if he was the proctor for the exams he always had a few prisoner scrolls on him just in case.

"Sasuke, you Gaara, Temari and Kankurō go assist the evacuation before guarding the civilians in the bunkers! You have authorization to do whatever you deem necessary to keep them safe" Hayate ordered, "We'll figure out what happens to them later!"

"Yes sir!" The four said before the four shot off to the stands. Kankurō unsealing two puppets as Sasuke withdrew a wakizashi while Temari pulled out a much smaller fan that she used in more compact areas or when control was needed over power and a small cloud of sand floated at Gaara's side.


In the infirmary the moment the door burst open with a pair of Oto Shinobi rushed in just as Zaku's eyes shot open and with a feral grin he leapt out of the bed and aimed his remaining arm at a Medic. Dosu who had been given a clean bill of health a short while before and had his backup Melody Arm equipped, which much to Zaku's surprise was quickled slammed into the aggressive Oto Genin's head knocking him unconscious. The two Oto Shinobi leapt at the nearest medic only for the medic to pull down her mask and release two small clouds of purple smoke which the moment the two Oto Shinobi passed through the clouds their eyes went blank and they crashed to the ground while Lee rushed past his hands already healed from the little damage they took against Shino and he quickly incapacitated two Suna Shinobi by brutally throwing his weights at them, the two Shinobi taken completely off guard at how heavy they were.

Lee then knocked them out by slamming their heads together as he proclaimed with a very serious look in his normally happy eyes, "I will not let even a single foe past me! We must keep this room safe to treat the injured!"

Dosu growled as he wrenched off his Forehead Protector, "So this is why Sensei told us to 'prepare ourselves for more then what we expected' three days ago," Dosu growled getting several glances from the rest of the medics as Shizune pulled off the rest of her disguise, "I will fight with you Shinobi of Konoha. I am through being just another tool of Orochimaru. I would have told you earlier but Sensi sensed something was off and kept me and Zaku had been under watch since the second round."

Shizune nodded, "We appreciate the help and I promise that while you'll be interrogated after this is over you'll be treated fairly," Dosu nodded as he prepared for combat as he heard another group rushing down the hall. Everyone ignoring Neji as the Medics knew that it would be pointless to wake Neji up from his death like state as it would take a few days for him to fully recover from it.


At the gates three giant snakes appeared in clouds of smoke, as they started moving towards the gate so the full force of the combined army could enter. As the two drew close five giant pillars of smoke appeared revealing two six tail foxes that were about half as tall as the snakes, one with pitch black fur and deep purple eyes the other with snow white fur, and piercing red eyes. Between the two foxes were three serpentine dragons that even with their hind legs resting on the ground were slightly taller than the three snakes. The three dragons were identical save for the colors of their scales. The one on the left being a deep gold, the one on the right being a shining silver, and the center's scales were green and glittered in the sun as if they were made of pure emerald. They had metallic looking bronze hair that flowed in the wind, and a single long horn that spiraled out of the center of their forehead.

Upon opening their piercing black eyes their gaze focused on the snakes and they let loose a roar of challenge that was so powerful it sent out shockwaves. As the eight summons charged at each other, the Oto/Suna Army shook off the surprise and charged, the gate opening due to one of Orochimaru's minions having infiltrated the gate control room as a backup plan.


The moment the feathers began falling Naruto, Hinata and Fū turned to the door with Naruto unleashing a powerful Wind Jutsu, Hinata releasing a flurry of water bullets and Fū breathing out a stream of powder which mixed with Naruto's Jutsu. The combination completely caught the six Suna Shinobi who were expecting the Genin to be panicking off guard. The attacking Shinobi were sent crashing back against the opposite wall. Once the water bullets hit the Suna Shinobi it mixed with the powder turning into some sort of clay that quickly hardened capturing the six Shinobi.

"We need to split up and help with the counter attack," Naruto said quickly thinking through options, "Hinata you and Shikamaru you go find Asuma. If possible grab Choji and Ino," He then gained a feral grin, "I think it's time the latest generation of the Ina-Shika-Cho shows what they can do. Shino and Fū go find Fū's teammates. Shino, Fū I'll leave it up to you on what to do next. I'm going to head away from the arena and have my Clones spread out over the village to help with the evacuation."

"Right!" The four Genin said before leaping out of the booth to assist with the evacuation. As Naruto shot up the arena's walls before leaping out towards the center of Konoha a large grin as he saw that Konoha hadn't been caught off guard and the counter attack was going strong.

"Mass Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto roared as he landed on the roof of a grocery store and in a quick burst of smoke a few hundred copies of Naruto appeared, completely covering the nearby buildings. The Naruto's let loose a roar of challenge which shook the invaders and made the Konoha Shinobi suddenly very glad that Naruto was on their side. Doubly so as the Foxes and Dragons that suddenly appeared really helped keep the surprisingly large amount of invaders away from the civilians.


In the booth for the visiting nobles a tall sleek blond woman wearing a black short sleeved shirt under a purple blouse, black pants with white clouds on the left leg, bandages around her arms and legs, fingerless black gloves, shinobi sandals and a chain of blue beads that wrapped around her left hand going from the center of the hand to just below the elbow. She was using elongated nails to replicate a beast's claws to tear through the attacking Suna and Oto Shinobi. She along with the rest of the visiting Shinobi Guards were trying to coordinate the nobles evacuation.

"They just keep coming and we don't have enough room to maneuver!" A Jonin from Mizu growled as he saw a group of Ten invading Shinobi charging towards them, "Incoming!"

However the invaders never made it to their goal as a large wave of sand crashed into them from an open door, "Sand Tsunami!" The wave of sand carried the invaders back down the corridor and out of sight. Turning to the Nobles and their guards Gaara said, "Please allow me to assist with the evacuation."

The woman simply gave a nod, "Yugito Nii of Kumo. We welcome your help Gaara-san."

Gaara nodded as he turned away, noting that something about Yugito felt similar, "That's because she has my sister Matabi sealed in her," Shukaku stated, "Careful you got some more below you."

"Below!" Gaara called just before the floor exploded and five Oto Shinobi jumped through the hole only for Yugito to spit three mouse shaped dark blue fireballs, "I believe Naruto will with to speak with you later Yugito-San," Gaara noted as he used his sand to make a bridge so the nobles could cross over as Kankurō and a Konoha Jonin appeared with another group of civilians.

"If we've got time Ichi," Yugito chuckled, getting another nod from Gaara.


"ORA!" Choji roared as he slammed his red hot gauntlet into the face of a Suna Shinobi making him scream in pain as he fell back clutching at his face.

"Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Shikamaru said, sending his shadows down not only the shadow made by his seal-enforced fishing line but also Hinata's wires. The moment he had control over his targets he made them move to a wall and knock themselves out. Quickly turning he "Ino, Choji! Behind you!"

Choji swiftly turned swinging his kanabo which slammed into an Oto Shinobi while Ino ducked, withdrew her new rapier turned, and lashed out at a second Oto Shinobi who had a smug look due to being a fair distance away from Ino however his smugness vanished as the blade separated into several small parts that were connected by a thin wire similar to the kind Hinata used. Effectively turning her rapier into a metallic version of her Water Whip Jutsu, getting the attacker directly in the stomach.

"Good job so far kids," Asuma said as he used his knuckle knives to disarm an Oto Swordsman, "We're almost through with the evacuation in this area. Once everyone's in the bunker you four will stay to keep them safe."

"Got it Sensei!" The Ino-Shika-Cho said however HInata was slightly distracted as she was slamming a full sized Rasengan into a large six armed puppet the Jutsu turning the puppet into nothing more than kindling. The Suna Puppeteer scowled behind their vail and released a new puppet. Seeing the Genin methodically take down Shinobi after Shinobi made Asuma smirk. If these kids didn't make Chunin from this then he didn't know what he was going to do.


Going back a few minutes, right after Gaara, Temari and Kankurō made their announcement an explosion of smoke filled the Kagebooth as the Kazekage and his guards burst into motion as they attempted to kill Yūgao and Hiruzen, completely ignoring Shibuki. Yūgao and Hiruzen with smirks on their faces pulled back to a large red roof, the Kazekage shedding his outfit revealing a young man with shoulder length white hair, two red dots on his forehead, wearing a lavender shirt that hung loose on his frame with long sleeves, black pants, shinobi sandals and a long purple rope around his center tied into an intricate symbol behind him.

"Kimimaro Kaguya," Yūgao stated as she stood in her Anbu armor with her katana on her back, having left her Hokage robes in the booth just as four purple walls shot into the sky before a roof formed.

"The Four Violet Flames Formation," Hiruzen noted as he stood next to Yūgao also in his combat armor. As Yūgao drew her sword she made a mental note to look into getting some unique combat armor like the one Hiruzen got after he became Hokage, "A… passable trap if nothing else."

Kimimaro simply stood back letting the two Hokage's take in their surroundings. The two easily identified the two headed form of Sakon and Ukon, the bulky form of Jirōbō, the six armed Kidōmaru and Tayuya's replacement who made the two blink in surprise, "Surprised to see me?" A woman with pale blue hair kept in place by a red and white rope with two bells, a red vest over white bandages she used instead of a shirt, fingerless gloves that went up to just below her elbows, a short red sideless skirt over more bandages covering the lack of any real pants the skirt kept in place by a red belt, high heeled and armored versions of shinobi sandals, with a armored holster on her left leg holding a standard Anbu Ninjato. The final defining feature were the pair of pink diamond tattoos going up her left side with one just above the holster, one just before the bandages on her leg, one just above the skirt and finally two above her left eye and two below.

"Surprised to see me?" The woman asked with a savage grin on her face.

"A little but this just leaves us the trouble of hunting you down Kagura," Yūgao noted before turning her attention back to Kimimaro. The Anbu who had been behind her and Hiruzen standing outside the barrier watching.

"Sir, do you think Jiraiya's Barrier Buster Seals will be enough to get through that?" the Anbu Monkey asked theDragon masked Anbu.

"From what I know of this Barrier it won't," Dragon sighed in annoyance before turning to Kagura, "I don't know of anything we have on us that can get through it… though knowing we have a shot at that traitor… taking her in will be very satisfying."

"Ah shove it up your ass," Kagura cackled, "If that bitch Tsunade hadn't snubbed me and took me as an apprentice like I wanted her to I never would have left this dump."

"And that attitude shows why she didn't," Dragon stated as everyone ignored Jirobo reprimanding Kaguya for being 'unladylike'.

"Dance of the Camellia," Kimimaro reached for his shoulder and slowly withdrew the bone, showing no signs of discomfort. After the thin katana long bone was fully withdrawn he held it at his side, "You will both die here today so Orochimaru-Sama can fulfill his ambition."

"Let's just get this warm up over with before the real fight begins," Yūgao stated and charged her Katana gleaming in the sunlight, with Hiruzen hot on her heels.


"Water Release! Water Fur Needles!" Akamaru yelled, causing his fur to stand on end as multiple light blue needles shot out of his fur towards a group of Suna Nin all of whom panicked at the sight of a speaking dog who wasn't a summoning animal.

"Lightning Style! Lightning Nails Jutsu!" Kiba roared his already claws like nails extending and glowing a bright yellow as he charged down the enemies. As Kiba raked his electrified claws down his enemies, an Oto Shinobi charged in from behind with a tanto drawn.

"Twin Raijū Claw!" Tsume roared as she and Kuromaru tore the Oto Shinobi in two with nothing but their claws, "Stay the fuck away from my kid you fucks!"

"Thanks for…" Akamaru started only for Kuromaru to cut him off.

"Take us on instead you dickless weaklings!" Kuromaru chuckled with a terrifying grin.

"Nevermind," Akamaru sighed as he shot more water needles at the enemy. He knew the pair cared about him and Kiba but they had an… odd way of showing it. That or it was just way too long since the two had been in a proper fight.


Channeling her Lightning Chakra into her new spear Tenten dove right through the powerful gust of wind a Suna Wind Dancer had launched at her, the spear parting the powerful Jutsu with ease making the Wind Dancer shriek in fear as she leapt out of the way to avoid the living missile that past right past her, "What kind of spear is that?! There's no way in hell it's a normal Chakra Metal one!"

From behind the Wind Dancer who was so distracted by Tenten she didn't notice a teenage girl with brown hair wearing a dark orange shirt with a sky blue whirlpool on the back, black pants with burnt orange lines down the side and shinobi sandals, "It's Uzumaki Make…" The Suna Kunoichi's eyes went wide right before an honest to Kami Red Skinned Oni appeared out of nowhere and slammed his fist into her skull, caving it in, killing the invader instantly.

Tenten grinned as she quickly sealed away the Great War Fan as the Oni let out a roar as it charged into a group of ten enemy shinobi, "Oh I am so, getting Temari to teach me how to use this!"

Yakumo chuckled as she ducked under a Suno Shinobi's Kuni and slammed her fist into the man's nether region instantly making the man drop his weapon as he collapsed to the ground, "Something tells me she'd enjoy that if you also give her more options on weapons that mesh well with her fan."

"Who's to say I haven't been thinking about the same thing?" Tenten grinned as she ignored the green and red blur that was Might Guy shooting though the area as he decimated enemy after enemy with two of the Eight Gates open before just as quickly as he appeared he vanished. That was the third time he'd made an appearance in the last five minutes. In the back of Tenten's mind she wondered if Guy-Sensei was blitzing around only a small area or the entire village. Either way she was glad she wasn't his enemy.


Fū was angered as she dove out of the sky to deliver a powerful kick to an invader's back after seeing Hōki being sent flying into a wall after jumping the way of a Jutsu to protect a mother and daughter, "Juhimaru get Hōki to safety!" Fū called as traces of Red Chakra began wafting off Fū.

"Got it! Give em hell you two!" Juhimaru replied as put her axes away, carefully picked up Hōki and ran with the mother and child into the evacuation tunnel.

"I don't know much about being a jinchūriki," Shino said as he popped a Solder Pill into his mouth to regain some Chakra in a rare moment of rest, "But I suggest you try to focus your mind as you channel the Chakra. You control it, it doesn't control you."

Fū gave a quick nod as she focused, Chōmei offering advice and encouragement as the Red Chakra slowly formed a cloak around her. At first it was little more than an amorphous blob but it quickly gained more details such as a single large horn, claws, her wings sprouting on her back, and finally a single whip-like tail. In a slightly distorted and darker voice she said, "Alright… I think I got this, but I doubt I can handle more of Chōmei's Chakra yet…"

"Perhaps meditating while this cloak is active will help you acclimate to the power," Shino suggested as his Earth Chitin Clock once more took form, and good timing too as another wave of Invaders charged at the duo.

"Something to look into after this mess is over," Fū agreed, before letting loose a roar and charging at the invaders.


Back at the battle with Yūgao and Hiruzen against Kimimaru, the wielder of the Shikotsumyaku was easily being pushed back, even after he activated the first stage of his Curse Seal which caused black lines to spread over his entire body "You two truly earned the title of Hokage. However…" Kimimaro lept back, his seal going to Stage Two, as his skin and hair became much darker with two black markings appearing below his eyes and his eyebrows becoming much thicker and elongated. A thick tale a little longer than his arm bursting out of the small of his back and six large rib like bones burst out of his back, "It is time to even the odds a little."

"If you think using the second stage of that Seal will even the odds you're sorely mistaken," Hiruzen grunted the large form of Monkey King Enma's Adamantium Staff form under his arm.

"From what Tayuya told us, you need a large open space to get the best results. Something that the barrier restricts," Yūgao noted though secretly wondering if there were techniques Kimimaro could use in his Stage 2 form that Tayuya didn't know about.

"That is… partly correct," Kimimaro admitted as he began running through hand signs, "Unfortunately… I have no intention of using the Dance of the Seedling Fern here. Instead I believe a… Reunion would be better appreciated," Hiruzen's eyes went wide but before he could warn Yūgao, Kimimaro slammed a hand on the roof and shouted, "Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!" Three coffins rose out of the roof, the first marked with the number one, then the number two, finally the symbol of a whirlpool.

Hiruzen cursed, "He's bringing back the First and Second Hokage's!"

Yūgao's eyes narrowed, "So if the first two coffins are two of our predecessors… then the third one could only be Kushina-Sensei."

"At least Minato's Soul is still in the Shinigami," Hiruzen stated grimly, "I can hold off Tobirama-Sensei and Hirashima-Sama and you should be a good match for Kushina-Chan. At least until we can figure out how to undo the Jutsu."

"So killing him won't work?" Yūgao asked as she got ready to unleash a powerful Surging Serpent technique.

"That will do nothing but leave the three to rampage," Hiruzen sighed, "No one but the caster can order them once summoned," Underhis breath Hiruzen grumbled, "I knew this technique would cause more harm than good. I will never understand why Tobirama-Sensei made such a dark technique…"

Yūgao's eyes narrowed as she thought through the fight up to this point and what she just learned about the technique. As the coffin doors fell open a small smile flashed over her lips. Hashirama, Tobirama and Kushina stepped out of the coffins and looked around. Hashirama was a tall man with black hair, tanned skin and wore a Konoha Forehead Protector black shirt and pants under dark armor that consisted of shoulder pads, a chest plate, bracers and plates that went down the sides of his legs to just above his knees. Tobirama wore similar armor only in blue, with spiky white hair, in place of a standard forehead protector he had one like Yamato, where it was a single sheet of metal formed to protect the forehead and sides of the face.

Finally Kushina was dressed in her off time outfit, that being a white shirt, long dark green apron and shinobi sandals, her deep crimson hair flowing down her back like water, the barrier keeping the group out of the light wind. As the coffins sank into the roof Hashirama looked over his shoulder, "So you're the Sapling who resurrected us… from those bones I'd say you're part of the Kaguya Clan but I've never seen anything like this. It's almost like an imperfect Sage Mode."

"So this is what my Jutsu feels like," Tobirama stated in a calm voice, "How… novel."

"Oh can it Tobirama," Kushina scoffed, before turning to Hiruzen and Yūgao with a smile. Kimimoro simply stood there both to recover a little from the Jutsu and to let the three speak for a bit to damage his opponents spirits, "Yūgao-Chan you're looking well. Hiruzen…" Kushina looked at Hiruzen and her smile turned into a snarl that made the man shudder, "Don't think I haven't been watching from the Pure Lands. When you arrive… well let's just say your wife and I will be having words with you."

"You have made many mistakes Hiruzen," Tobirama nodded, "Such as continuing to trust Danzō after you learned how dark my ROOT had become. However…" Tobirama blurred through hand signs much to Kimimaro's surprise and concern, "We will discuss what to do with him later… Release!" Tobirama's Chakra flared for a moment. When it died down the three Resurrected Shinobi leapt forward and mid air flipped to stand alongside Hiruzen and Kushina. The five stared down a snarling Kimimaro, "Did you really think I wouldn't be able to break free from your command when I am the one who created the Jutsu?"

As Kimimaro's fury boiled over as he let loose a roar no one noticed whips of smoke rising out of the tip of Kimimaro's tail. The smoke quickly rose to hover just below the roof of the seal as Shin 'looked' down at the battle. For now his part was over, and all he had to do was wait so he could rejoin his Lord.

As Shin left Kimimaro there was a giant burst of smoke at the center of Konoha making all fighting there pause. As the smoke cleared fear gripped the hearts of the Oto and Suna Shinobi as a couple dozen Dragons were floating overhead, with a couple hundred humans all of which were wearing Shinobi garb, wielding a wide variety of weapons. The two points that brought fear to the invaders was that each and every one of them had deep crimson hair that almost seemed to glow in the sun, and their forehead protectors had the symbol of a spiral on them… the symbol of Uzushiogakure.


Author's Notes:

And the Invasion has started, and DAMN have I been waiting for this. From having Tobirama to free himself from the Jutsu [because come on. If Madara can do it, then the Creator damn well could!] to Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and Dosu switching sides, and finally revealing that the humans living on the Throat of the World were Uzumaki.

Next Chapter sees not only what the Naruto's were doing but also how Danzō's plan for the invasion plays out.

Oh and before I forget as soon as she's able my sister is going to go through previous chapters and edit them. I see myself as a decent self taught editor but honestly I think she's better. When that happens I'll replace the older chapters with the new ones, so I hope everyone enjoys the better edited chapters once they're ready!
