Revised 6/3/23

The morning of the invasion arrived quickly. After a late night gathering, Irelia learned that Akali brought about twenty well trained ninja from the Kinkou Order. They couldn't spare their entire force, but Akali assured her that the team she brought was plenty enough for the Noxian settlement.

Naruto's story was told to them, however he left some bits out. Irelia was suprised with how understanding Akali was with it. Somethig about, a ninja never tell all their secrets, or whatever she meant. Akali had also mentioned that they were approached by some speakers for the brotherhood. Apparently that didn't go as planned, because Shen's father had no interest and told them to leave.

'I am going to have to worry about them later, we got other things that are important.' she thought to herself.

Akali's group was staged on the east side of the settlement waiting on the signal to infiltrate. Irelia's warband had took advantage of the rocky terrain and was hidden from sight. She thought back to their plan of attack. The Noxians days always started early at dawn, they had a ceremony of raising their flag. This was the perfect time to attack them because they would momentarily all be vulnerable for an ambush. Irelia knew they would have to be quick, and having a certain blond made it significantly easier now.

Looking over to her left she took a look at the blond boy who has quickly become a friend to her. Naruto had stated that he would be ok with initiating the assault. He was berated and called dumb by almost everyone, but her and Seira for his idea. When he said that he can make multiple clones of himself into the thousands easily, everyone had a change of opinion. She knew he was quite powerful when he first appeared. She could just feel the spiritual pressure radiating off of him. It was just so warm and nearly intoxicating; especially in that golden form.

"Ne, are you ok Irelia?" Naruto's voice had suddenly grabbed the black haired girl out of her thoughts. She nodded her head and gave him a small smile of reassurance.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" She asked. It was no question that she was nervous and her anxiety was through the roof. This always happened to her right before a battle was fought. For everyone's sake, she made sure to not show it. Naruto gave her a wide smile, even though he could sense she was lying. Irelia however, smiled in return and focused her attention back to the settlement. 'It's almost time' She thought to herself.

There was a loud horn that sounded off, signaling the commencement of the ceremony. Naruto quickly jumped out from behind the giant rocks and took off in a full sprint. As he ran, he brought his hands up into his signature jutsu. The guards dropped their salute and started to draw their weapons. Alarm and panic, clear on their face from the mysterious man running towards them!

"Don't let your guard down Naruto, there is some strong magic that I am sensing from inside." Kurama said. 'Copy that Kurama.' Naruto responded as he refocused on the guards that looked ready to fight him to the death.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto shouted as a large cloud of smoke appeared. When the cloud settled, everyone heard the war cries of at least a few hundred Naruto's. Getting over the shock rather quickly, Irelia jumped out next.

"FOR IONIA!" Screamed The blade dancer. The repeatment of her statement by her fellow countrymen echoed into the valley. The soon were all rushing in after the clone army of Naruto.

"HEY, SOUND THE ALRAM!" One of the sentries shouted. He steadied himself for the incoming army. His shift had only started a mere fifteen minutes ago. This was not something he was expecting to see on what was suppose to be another day.

Another troop ran off and grabbed the emergency alarm that overplayed the ceremony sound, causing everyone to freak out! Soldier's and Officers scattered quickly to get into battle formation.

By the eastern wall

"That's the signal! Remember, leave none alive." Akali stated as she scaled the wall easily. The rest of the shinobi followed suit as well. They all dispersed into different areas to be as quick as possible.

Naruto's clones easily steam rolled the pathetic guards at the so called a gate. The soldiers underestimated his clones and didn't think they were actually fighting real people. That was until their own started to drop like flies.

However, more and more soldiers joined in and clashed with his clones. The Noxian armory was just tossing weapons as fast they could to any soldiers that ran by. The Ionian resistance, mixed with the clones had carried a massive wave of momentum and clashed into the slow growing reaction force of the Noxians.

Irelia quickly jumped over some of Naruto's clone and danced her way through Noxian troops, easily striking them down with her blades. Oze now having his axe in his hand, took down a noxian soldier about the same size as him with a clean swing.

"Remember to stayed close and don't stray to far away from each other!" Oze commanded. His eyes widened when he seen some Noxians in black robes appear. Hands glowing as they started enchanting spells.

"MAGES INCOMING! ARCHERS!" He shouted to get them to focus on the mages.

The original Naruto found himself in combat with a much more experienced gentleman. He was actually dodging bullets that were continously being fired at him. Having activated Sage mode, time basically slowed down for him. The man he was fighting, is the officer that threatened to draw his gun on him yesterday when he infiltrated.

"That's quite the interested ability you displayed. It looks like your clones die in one hit. So considering that you are trying not to get hit, makes me believe you are the original. So if I catch one shot in that little head of yours, the rest go away right?" He smiled maliciously as he swung his sword at Naruto. Waiting on the perfect chance to shoot again.

"If that is what you think, knock yourself out trashy bushy brow!" Naruto said with a taunt. The man eye twitched in annoyance at the nickname. He's been called a ton of names in his life, but that was one he has never heard.

"It's not like you to play around with enemies. Finish this small fry Naruto." Kurama spoke up.

'I am just warming up Kurama and you know this!' the blond shouted back as he appeared behind the man. The fox just grunted in annoyance as he went back to sleep. Obviously his jailer didn't want to use his power yet.

The officer reacted quickly and swung his arm back at Naruto, who caught it. Quickly aiming his pistol. He was going to pull the trigger to get a clean shot in the blond's abdomen. However, that didn't happen as the gun was grabbed and instantly crushed in his hands.

'Just who is this kid?!' He panicked as he tried to break the kids grip, but the kid held steady. He looked with horrified eyes at Naruto's yellow like toad eyes? "J-just w-what are you?" he fearfully asked.

"I am Naruto Uzumaki, remember it!" He said as he moved in a way to slam the man into the ground, knocking him out instantly. He sighed as he looked down at his defeated foe. Knowing this soldier, from what Irelia said of the Noxian troops, he's pobably killed tons of innocent people. He didn't know if he could bring himself-…, Naruto paused and shook his head of that bad thought and moved on. There were way more important things to get to right now.

Irelia had just got done dispatching some troops. She then felt a dark presence and she brought her blades up to block a large sword that was meant to cleave her in half. She did get knocked back a bit by the force of the swing.

Seeing who her attacker was, Irelia frowned. She seen the shiny stars and should've known that she would be faced again with another general. He stood tall, dressed in a suit of armor and a black trench coat. What got her attention was the large black blade that seemed to emitting a purpleish aura. It felt evil and made Irelia shiver from the menancing pressure.

The man sported a very malicious looking smirk on his face. He eyed her as well and licked his lips. "I been waiting for the opportunity to face you myself in combat." He then looked over her figure. "I am going to enjoy myself with you when I make you submit."

Irelia nearly growled at his predatory remark. "I'll have your head scum." Was all she said as she readied herself to attack. It will be just like last time. Once the general fell, the rest was easy!

"I like them feisty. Makes it a better experience." The general said as he readied his sword. Knowing about Swain's fate and how she bested him. He knew he had to be on his toes. There was no quesstioning it. This was his chance to destroy this woman, possibly turn the tide of invasion. Even get promoted to Admiral! His eyes lit up at the potential rewards.

Seira was sweating, she was over exerting herself with repeated magic use. She knew she was still only at most an amateur at healing.

As she was focused on healing a wounded fighter that got his arm severed, she felt the ground start to tremble. Looking around for the source, her eyes widened in fright at the creature that was rushing towards her!

Running towards her location looked like a giant brute type of humanoid. He obviously was not human anymore. 'What is that?!' She looked down to the wounded warrior and seen that his eyes were glazing over. "NO, NO, NO!" Turning her head back. He was going into shock and his breathing was becoming ragged.

The brute was approaching quick. She didn't know any offensive or defensive magic to protect them. She closed her eyes as she waited to be trampled. That pain she was expecting didn't happen and heard a loud grunt. Opening her eyes, she seen Oze had managed to intercept the beast!

"GAAAAHHHHHHH!" Oze shouted out as he took the Brute head on. He closed his left eye as the pain was unbearable from the force the beast was running at. This brute was obviosuly enhanced and some type of abomination. He was able to stop being pushed back and redirected the monster into a crowd of Noxian troops that he trampled over.

Griping his axe strongly he turned to ensure Seira was ok. "If possible, move Su-an and get to safety. This thing is out to crush whatever it runs into." He said simply.

"W-what a-about yo-you?" Seira shakingly asked. She felt her body was still trembling from the situation she just experienced..

"Don't worry Seira, I got it. Ensure those that need your healing gets it." He responded. Taking a shaky breath, she looked back down to see that the man she was trying to save Su-an passed on. Steeling herself and saying a silent prayer, she stood up. Seeing another warrior that finished off a Noxian soldier and fall to his knees, she immedialty ran off to go ensure he was alright. Oze readied himself as the brute let out a roar and rushed him again.

Akali had just finished off a couple officers that were trying to contact reinforcements. She was lucky she had made it just in time as they just got on the line with what she assumed was Noxian Command.

Her body instantly tensed as she turned swiftly on her heels and swung her kama at the figure behind her. The blade was intercepted by a blue cloaked figure with a very sharp looking arm blade. Not expecting to ever be snuck up on like that, she threw a kunai just as quickly at his head.

The man however vanished? She threw a smoke bomb down quick to shield herself from view.

"You aren't so bad, considering you didn't fall as quickly as I hoped. However you aren't my target." the man taunted as his voice faded away. Akali felt that his presence was gone and hurriedly rushed out of the tent to find him.

'I never once had someone sneak up me like that undetected. This is bad!' she mentally panicked in her head.

Irelia felt herself starting to grow tired after each clash with Dax. She felt as if her stamina was being drained everytime their blades clashed. He didn't look like he had broken a sweat. Speaking of the devil, he had decided to taunt her.

"Don't tell me you are reaching your limit?" Dax taunted. He frowned in dissapointment; he heard so many horror stories of how the Blade Dancer was such a powerful foe.

"That sword of yours, is cursed isn't it? I feel like my spirit is being attacked everytime I clash with you." Irelia pointed out with a bit of ragged breathing. Dax only smirked and that confirmed her suspicion. She glared at him when he did that predatory look at her again.

"Atleast you are smart to realize. However, there's nothing you can do little girl. Just surrender while you can and I promise our time together will be great before you are shipped back to Noxus. Irelia was going to retort, but something else interrupted them.

A piercing scream seemed to stop everything in the battle. Irelia took the time to find the source of the scream. She seen Seira had collapsed to her knees and her staff fell away from her. Following her tear filled and fearful gaze to where she was looking, her heart dropped. Oze eyes were wide with shock as he had a giant fist protruding through his chest. The brute that had suddenly arrived, had somehow landed a fatal wound onto Oze.

Naruto turned to the direction of the scream that came fromSeira and followed her gaze as well. For the little bit of time he knew Oze, he thought the man was a tank! Oze coughed up some blood and that drew him out of his shock. A soldier took the chance while he thought Naruto was distracted and pounced. However that plan went out the window as Naruto threw a fist back and instantly knocked him away. The strike actually knocked the soldier out, and Naruto started to tremble.

Time seemed to slow down for Naruto as he felt his anger rising. He could hear his heart beating and he clenched his fists tight.

'Kurama…' Naruto called out to his partner in a whisper. The Bijuu opened his eyes as he seen Naruto was standing in front of him with his fist out. He knew there was no stopping Naruto, and we was honestly a bit surprised he was willing to take this long to come to him.

'It's seems that this world is not as forgiving as ours either.' Kurama said as he bumped fist with Naruto. The pressure in the air change for everyone as Naruto transformed into his chakra mode. Everyone almost had to hold their hands up from the brilliant yellowish - golden light.

Irelia could only look on with wide eyes as Naruto was on top of the brute in a mere second. He had a rapidly growing blue orb in his hand as he slammed it into the beast.

"RASENGAN!"
