It was
unfortunate that it was that much closer than everyone thought. One moment they
had received a mission and the other they were under attack by hundreds, maybe
even thousands of Shinobis. It was so peaceful before the sounds of battle
entered the ears of the villagers. The Gates had been smashed away by a strong
water Jutsu and with the fall of the Gates, guards went along with it.
Kakashi was
jumping from tree to tree, curious to what was going on and where all the
explosions were coming from. As he reached the top of one of the trees, he
could see the invasion going on. With a shocked expression, he turned away, off
to warn as many Shinobis as possible.
Orochimaru
was smirking at the Shinobis that were fighting for their lives. His smirk grew
wider as a small group of Shinobis stood before him. “You’re making a terrible
mistake challenging me…” A few hand seals and Jutsus later, Orochimaru was
grinning at five corpses. “Weaklings…” And then he hopped away, off towards the
centre of Konoha.
Jiraiya
watched on from on top of the
Tsunade
nodded. “Yes, and I suggest we join them as fast as we can. We’ll need to give
it our all.”
Jiraiya
smirked and put his hand on the shoulder of a blonde brat beside him. “Are you
ready to fight, brat?”
The blonde
gave Jiraiya his biggest smile. “More ready than I’ll ever be!!”
‘Jeez, he’s
excited even in the middle of a war…’ Jiraiya thought. ‘Still a bit immature, I
guess…’
A Simple War
“Aoba!
Watch your back, dammit!!”
Aoba
frowned, before he looked at the sneaky Shinobi who wanted to stab him with a
Kunai from behind. Now he was just dead with many small Shurikens stuck in his
neck. “I sensed him, mind you. No need for you to watch my back, Genma!”
Genma
frowned right back. “Jeez, save your own ass next time, four-eyes.”
“What did
you say!?” Aoba wanted to walk towards Genma, but his eyes widened as something
moved behind Genma. “Shiranui, duck!!” Aoba yelled, while he had already
performed a few hand seals. “Katon, Ryuuka no Jutsu!!”
As Genma
was lying on the ground, he could feel the warm fire wave soar above him, while
it scared away an enemy Jounin. “Heh, close one, but he’s not beaten just by
that.” Genma stated as he rose to his feet and bit on his toothpick. The enemy
Jounin was nowhere to be seen. “He’s somewhere around us, Aoba.”
Aoba
nodded. “I know, I know. I’m just… trying to sense his Chakra…”
Genma
sighed. “Well, if you can’t sense it, one thing is for sure… he’s not
performing any technique…”
“You can’t
be too sure of that…” Aoba interjected. “There!! Katon, Goukakyuu no Jutsu!!”
Genma
watched on as Aoba sent many fireballs towards a tree. ‘He’s always been better
than me at sensing things… But I dislike Fire Techniques…’
Itachi
shook his head as he easily dealt with many enemies.
“Sanjuu,
Katon, Housenka!!” The surroundings were lit by the fire Itachi blew out of his
mouth. Fire balls were dancing all around Itachi, protecting him and attacking
for him.
Itachi
shook his head as he easily caught a blow with his hand and rammed only his
index and middle finger to impale his opponent’s forehead. “Even the smallest
things can be the deadliest weapons…” Itachi paused as he withdrew his fingers
out of his enemy’s head. “Especially with Chakra…” He added, as blue Chakra
could be seen around all of Itachi’s fingers.
Itachi
suddenly swung his fist backwards and it resulted in him slamming a Kunai down
someone’s throat. The enemy slumped towards the ground.
‘His speed…
He didn’t even have a Kunai in his hand when the other attacked…’ One of the
Shinobis close to Itachi thought. It was his last thought, as Itachi stood
behind him, two Kunais stuck through both his ears.
He looked
back at his comrades behind him. “This area is clear. Hurry up and keep up with
me.” He coldly stated as he leaped away again.
‘Foolish
weaklings... A war simply will not do… One must try to gain power alone… or at
least with less people than an entire Village…’
Jiraiya
winced as the woman beside him, hit another man on their way towards the Gates.
“Tsunade, don’t use your freakish strength too much here… Save some for later.”
Tsunade
snorted. “Shut up!”
Both
Sennins were following the blonde brat before them, who was moving faster than
the two of them. ‘Jeez, talk about being motivated to fight…’ Jiraiya thought,
but he increased his speed as he was running with Tsunade through the Village.
“Oy,
Uzumaki!! Calm down, would ya!!” Tsunade screamed as she tried to get closer to
the blonde brat. To her annoyance she didn’t get any closer. ‘Jiraiya trained
him well…’
The blonde
simply chuckled. “Heh! We should protect this Village in the best and fastest
way we can!! Keep up, Tsunade-sama!”
And a
moment later, they were in front of the debris that was once the Konoha Gates.
Across, behind and in front of the debris many Shinobis were fighting. Jiraiya
turned to look at his former pupil. “Ready, brat?”
“Heh,
they’ve chosen me to protect this Village. I am going to be the next Hokage,
dammit!!” The blonde screamed. “And no one will be able to get away with
harming MY Village!!”
Jiraiya and
Tsunade both grinned as they gathered their enormous Chakra. Jiraiya turned to
another group of Leaf Shinobis and ANBU. “We’ll deal with this area… Go help
the Hokage!”
The other
Shinobis all bowed before the Sennin and immediately left the scenery.
Tsunade
sighed and shook her head. “It’s a pity for those that cross our path now,
isn’t it? There isn’t really anyone that could survive the three of us
together…”
“They will
all pay dearly for attacking our Village…” The blonde brat, but young man,
stated. “I’ll make them pay… I’m not going to be the Fourth for nothing…”
Jiraiya
grinned at his former pupil as he felt him gather his Chakra. ‘So young… and
yet stronger than any of the Sennin…’ Jiraiya put up a big grin. ‘It’s rather
foolish to piss Uzumakis off…’
“ANBU, take
care of this area, I sense a great Chakra at the Hyuga Mansions… I’ll go
there.” Sarutobi said as he turned away. A few jumps later, he could already
sense other ANBU following him to help him. He grinned and increased his speed.
‘Damn the
Cloud… It seems their main target is the Hyuga… Or to be more precise… the
Byakugan. We’ll just have to bring all of them down…’
Sarutobi
quickly performed a few hand seals. “Kuchiyose no Jutsu!!”
Suddenly jumping
next to him, the monkey Enma already knew of the situation. “So the war has finally arrived, Sarutobi?
It’s time to finish this once and for all, don’t you agree?”
Sarutobi
nodded. “Indeed. Enma, go help other Leaf Shinobis! I’ll take care of myself!”
“You better not die on me here, Sarutobi!”
“Don’t
worry, I don’t intend on dying in this particular war…”
Orochimaru
evilly chuckled after he landed in front of a group of Cloud Shinobis. “Are you
looking for the
The four
Jounins narrowed their eyes at him. “How foolish you are.” The leader of the
group said. “You just found yourself in front of four Jounins, moron.”
Orochimaru
chuckled. “Well then, allow me to introduce myself.” Orochimaru bowed. “I am
Orochimaru… a Konoha Sennin…”
The four
Jounins stepped backwards, recognising the name and ultimately knowing how
dangerous the man before them was. “O-Orochimaru!”
“Stand you
ground, men! We are with four, and don’t forget that it was our mission to wipe
out the strongest present here…” The leader yelled as he slipped into a
fighting stance.
Orochimaru
laughed out loud. “You four… I assume you are considered to be the strongest
Jounins in the Cloud.” Orochimaru chuckled. “What an honour to be able to fight
you… But do you think you can kill me?”
All four
Jounins disappeared, but Orochimaru quickly performed a technique, crouched and
rammed both his hands in the ground. “Gokei Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu!!”
The four
cloud Jounins were still moving in circles in high speed around Orochimaru.
‘Tracking Technique?’ All thought.
Orochimaru
felt Chakra being gathered by two of the Jounins. A blinding flash suddenly
came to Orochimaru’s eyes, but he managed to jump away, before he could fall in
the crate that had appeared beneath him. As he landed on a tree branch, a quick
lightning bolt snapped the tree branch in pieces, so Orochimaru fell to the
ground. As he landed, he quickly had to dodge a small duo of water beams. He
smiled, before he said. “Senei Yashu!”
One of the
Jounins got entangled by the snake coming from Orochimaru’s mouth. The Jounin
saw the mouth of the snake open and then, nothing but darkness, as the Kusanagi
got released hard and impaled the Jounin’s head. Orochimaru quickly jumped away
and made the snake drop out of his mouth. The snake threw the Kusanagi sword at
Orochimaru.
Suddenly, a
scream filled the air and Orochimaru shot a knowing grin towards the two
remaining Jounins. “My Snake Tracking Skill will continue to haunt you during
this fight… You already had many disadvantages fighting me… But with my snakes
ruling the grounds, you’re chances of survival are minimal.”
The duo
both stood next to each other in a tree towering above Orochimaru and both were
hesitant to attack. So Orochimaru decided the next move; the two Jounins didn’t
even have time to perform their hand seals as Orochimaru performed his next
technique. “Nijuu, Doku Shikon no Jutsu!!”
Two big
bright yellow snakes came from Orochimaru’s sleeves and both seemed to be
flying towards the two Jounins. The Jounins somersaulted away. ‘His Jutsu speed
is insane!’ Both Jounins thought as they were descending towards another tree
branch. But before they landed, many snakes crashed through the tree itself and
the two Jounins got entangled, unable to escape. That’s when the two yellow
snakes approached and bit both Jounins.
Orochimaru
made his snakes disappear and finished the job by slashing the heads off with
his Kusanagi. ‘Weak and foolish. Not worthy of the Jounin title…’ Orochimaru
suddenly smiled and turned around. “Did you enjoy watching me fight,
Kakashi-kun?”
Jiraiya,
Tsunade and the Fourth were standing in front of huge group of Shinobis.
“Jiraiya-sensei, I suggest you and Tsunade-sama use Kuchiyose no Jutsu to
decrease their numbers… I can sense a strange Chakra approaching
Jiraiya and
Tsunade both nodded and performed the hand seals for the Summoning Technique.
“Kuchiyose no Jutsu!!”
As the two
Sennins were doing that, the Fourth noticed one of his students close by.
“Obito-kun!! Get away from here!!” The Fourth said, before he moved in extreme
high speed and wiped out three Cloud Chuunins with one Kunai, before he
approached the small Uchiha. “Go find Kakashi-kun and the others now! I’m sure
the Sharingan will help them more there than here. Go!”
Obito
nodded and leaped away. The Fourth quickly performed a few seals. “Kuchiyose no
Jutsu!!”
“Oy, oy!
Couldn’t you have summoned Pakkun?” The Fourth shook his head at the big dog in
front of him. “Follow and protect Obito.” He ordered, before he leaped away,
out of
Jiraiya and
Tsunade watched the Fourth leap from tree to tree from atop of their summons. “Oy, Jiraiya!! Where’s Uzumaki going to?!” GamaBunta
asked as he, too, saw the Fourth jump away.
“He’s
taking out the enemies farther down the path.” Jiraiya answered. “GamaBunta!
It’s all no rules now!! Stomp them all flat!!” GamaBunta blew out a lot of
smoke.
“No oil?!”
“Maybe
later.” Jiraiya replied, before he turned to Tsunade and Katsuyu. “Tsunade! Are
you ready?!”
“Don’t ask
me that stupid question, you idiot!! Keep your attention at the enemy!!”
Jiraiya sighed at Tsunade’s reply.
“Need some
help, Hizashi-san?”
Hizashi
looked up to see the Third descend towards him. “Yes. Hiashi’s taking care of
Cloud Shinobis uphill. The Branch Members are fighting here.”
Sarutobi
nodded, before he tilted his head to avoid a rain of Kunais. “Seems it’s
crowded here… But no worries, the ANBU’s joining us here too!”
Hizashi
nodded his head. “Go, Hokage-sama. The Cloud is not really attacking the Branch
Members… They’re trying to capture any member of the Main Family. We can handle
the situation here.”
Sarutobi
sadly looked at Hizashi, but nodded his head. “Very well, but a few ANBU will
stay here.”
Hizashi
nodded, and as soon as The Third ran away, Hizashi was forced to perform the
Kaiten. Sarutobi grinned as he could feel the power of Hizashi’s Heavenly Spin.
‘Hizashi has always been stronger than Hiashi… Proof that the Hyuga was never
meant to be divided in two Families…’
Hizashi’s
Kaiten was actually ripping a few Shinobis apart.
Orochimaru was
swiftly jumping from tree branch to tree branch. ‘What are those two doing?!’
He shook
his head as he observed the two gigantic summons, Katsuyu and GamaBunta. ‘I am
somewhat jealous of them… If I summon Manda it’s a lot more bothersome…’
He had already
dealt with many Cloud Shinobis and he was getting tired of it. ‘My weakness is
still my stamina… That’s the only department Jiraiya is better in than me…’
Orochimaru
sighed as he casually threw a few Kunais over his shoulders. The Kunais hit
three pursuing Cloud-nins exactly in the head. ‘But my accuracy is perfect!’
Orochimaru
was scanning the areas around him from on top of a building and snarled. ‘Damn
it… So many useless Shinobis here… The Cloud was supposed to be a strong
Village… Had they known we were this much stronger, they would have never
attacked us.’ Orochimaru shook his head. ‘There are no real worthy Shinobis
from the Cloud worthy for my experiments… At least, none that I sense here…’
Orochimaru
jumped down to the ground and headed for Jiraiya and Tsunade. ‘They’re probably
having all the fun and taking the stronger opponents at the Gates…’
Jiraiya
inhaled a deep breath, before he exhaled a gigantic wave of fire. GamaBunta was
already releasing his oil. Now a massive tsunami of fire was heading for
another summon a Cloud Jounin had summoned. Jiraiya stopped releasing fire and
chuckled. “Hah! Such weak summons come from the Cloud! Don’t you agree,
Tsunade?”
Tsunade was
too busy to reply as she was fighting enemies on the ground. Jiraiya shook his
head with a smile as he watched many Cloud-nins being punched far away. She had
ordered Katsuyu to divide into smaller versions and take out more enemies on
the ground.
Jiraiya
slightly winced as he felt a great Chakra approaching, but he shook his head as
he recognised the signature. ‘So Orochimaru is finally joining in on the fun…
Just like him, showing up when most have already been beaten to the ground.’
Jiraiya paused. ‘I just hope he doesn’t summon Manda… He can’t control that
annoying snake too well…’
“GamaBunta!!
Leave this place! I’ll take care of them without you! Thanks for the help!”
GamaBunta
loudly snorted, before he stomped the ground, causing many Shinobis to fall
into a huge crate. “Heh! Very well,
Jiraiya! You’d better not summon me for a whole month, because I have many
wounds because of this, you hear?! Better be grateful or I won’t help you next
time!” GamaBunta said before he vanished.
Jiraiya
simply snorted before he put his foot into a Shinobi’s face, knocking the nin
backwards. “Jeez, I never knew the Cloud had this many Shinobis…”
Hiashi
watched the Third Hokage approach with his Byakugan. As soon as Sarutobi stood
close to him, Hiashi spoke to him, before he knocked three enemies away with a
hard Gentle-Fist Combo. “The Hyuga doesn’t need help, you should know this…”
Sarutobi
shook his head. “An entire Village is attacking Konoha, just for the Byakugan…
You should know they’ll continue trying this for a long time… Right now, this
part of Konoha is under attack by most Shinobis…”
Hiashi
narrowed his eyes, performed the Kaiten to reflect a few Kunais and Shurikens
and stared at Sarutobi. “Where’s the Uzumaki kid?”
Sarutobi
chuckled as he used a single Kunai to knock needles, Kunais and Shurikens away
from him. “He’s probably busy getting himself in trouble…”
Hiashi
snorted. “As always… You think it’s wise making him the Fourth?”
“I don’t
think it’s wise discussing this during a war, Hiashi.” Sarutobi pointed out,
before he threw his Kunai through a Shinobi’s lung. Then, the Kunai exploded.
Hiashi
sighed and jumped away to avoid getting hit by a lighting technique. “Very
well.”
Uzumaki
Arashi was known as one of the most hyper-active Shinobis in the Village. But
he was not known for only that. He never got tired, had many self-created and
destructive Jutsus and had a kick-ass Bloodline Limit. But he was more known
for the fact he never gives up.
Right now,
he stood before the Kage of the Cloud and two, probably elite, Jounins… Arashi
smirked at the challenge given to him.
“Brat, what
are you thinking, confronting us alone?” One of the Jounins said. “We’re the
most powerful of the Cloud. We were just retreating back to the Cloud, after
seeing that we were losing the War. But now that you’re here, I guess we’ll
have to work a bit after all…”
“Heh!
Idiots! I am the future Fourth Hokage! I will make you pay for killing my
comrades!” Arashi said, before he fell into a fighting stance.
The Cloud
Kage chuckled. “You’re going to be the Fourth Hokage? A young brat like
yourself? Show me why they’ve chosen you!”
Arashi
suddenly disappeared from view. The Raikage wasn’t fooled and he could sense
the blonde behind him. Sensing Chakra being gathered, he turned around to face
the blonde, but realised he had already moved away from his previous spot and
was standing in front of one of his guards. His eyes widened as he saw the blue
orb of Chakra in the hands of the young blonde. ‘What’s that?!’
“Rasengan!!”
The Elite Jounin, guard of the Raikage had jumped backwards to avoid getting
hit, but he was surprised to see that the Rasengan caught him from behind.
‘Shit, the speed of this kid is abnormal!!’
The other
guard and the Raikage watched in horror as the attacked Shinobi was ripped
apart by Chakra… ‘What a horrible and devastating technique… The speed of this
brat is good too…’ The Kage turned his attention to his remaining guard. “Keep
your guard up!! This is no ordinary Shinobi!”
The guard
nodded and looked at his opponent. “You were able to catch him off guard because
he, and we, underestimated you. Don’t expect that to happen again!”
Arashi
shrugged, before he performed a few hand seals. “Icchoudouka!!”
Nothing
happened, so the guard and Raikage decided to do a set of hand seals as well.
The guard announced. “Raidan no Jutsu!!” Quick small lightning bolts were
surrounding the guard’s entire body.
The Raikage
smirked and announced. “Raiton, Nijuu Rakurai no Jutsu! Kanrishakai!!”
Arashi
smirked. ‘How convenient…’
The guard
suddenly appeared next to him and threw him a blow. Arashi blocked with his
left arm and countered with a simple punch in the gut. The guard blocked, but
jumped backwards. “What?! How come you don’t feel the electricity around my
body?!”
The Raikage
narrowed his eyes in observation. ‘This kid… He’s definitely something else…
The Raidan no Jutsu my guard used isn’t easily countered at all… But he did it
without even trying, it seems…’ The Kage paused in his thoughts. ‘But he did
perform a technique just before… Does that technique have something to do with
this?’
Not waiting
to release his own attack, the Raikage lunged forward, hands outstretched.
Arashi watched as two big lightning orbs were shot from the Raikage’s palm.
‘Interesting… It looks like a bit like the Rasengan, but it also looks like the
Chidori… Oh well, not like it matters…’
The
Raikage’s eyebrows shot upwards as Arashi completely changed into a lightning
bolt, as soon as his two Lightning Orbs had hit him. ‘Wha… What the hell?!’
After less
than a second, Arashi was back to his previous form, wearing a wide grin and
rubbing his stomach, as if he had just eaten something. “Ahh… Thanks! I needed
that!”
“What the
hell?!” Both Kage and Guard yelled out.
“I don’t
really want to explain… Especially not to such lowlifes as you two…”
The Raikage
growled in anger and performed another set of seals. The Guard had deactivated
the state he was in and was simply waiting for Arashi to make a move. The guard
was ready doing seals and called out. “Hyouton, Hyouketsu no Jutsu!!”
The guard
watched as large Ice shards were shot towards Arashi. The blonde Uzumaki simply
took the attack the same way as he took the other attacks. ‘These guys are
pretty good, even if they are bastards for attacking my Village… Ice Jutsus are
pretty hard to pull off…’
The guard
and the Kage were more than surprised when the blonde suddenly changed into an
Ice-block, while it seemed that all Ice shards were absorbed by him.
“What the
hell is going on?!” The guard yelled, running towards Arashi.
Arashi
simply moved his body to the left and right, to avoid any physical attacks
coming from the guard. “You seem to have found out that Ninjutsu is mostly
useless to try against me… Let’s see how your Taijutsu fares against me…”
Arashi grinned. “When I’m using Ninjutsu on you…”
The guard
didn’t even see any hand seals performed when Arashi called out. “Ninpou,
Harinezumi no Chakra!!”
The
Raikage’s eyes widened when A lot of Chakra got shot off Arashi’s body. After
that, he saw his guard flying backwards, literally being ripped to pieces.
“Wha… What did you do?!”
Arashi
chuckled. “Might as well tell you, you won’t be able to tell anyone else,
anyway. My previous teacher had a move called Harinezumi, a ‘Hedgehog’ move.
But he used his own long hair to attack the enemy. Because I have a lot of
Chakra, I use my Chakra to perform that same technique.”
“What about
my Electricity and Ice techniques?” The Raikage asked as he looked around.
Arashi
sighed. “Don’t bother trying to escape… I’ve got many Clones surrounding this
area… Why? Because I have the Chakra to pull that off! About your elemental
Jutsus… Icchoudouka is my Bloodline Limit, not a single elemental Jutsu will
work on me… I absorb the Chakra you used to perform the technique you threw at
me.”
“I see… I
can see now why you were chosen to be the next Hokage… You’re even more
powerful than the Legendary Sannin of Konoha! But I am a Raikage, I will not
fall easily!!”
Arashi
shook his head. “You have already used two high-levelled techniques against me,
and those two attacks did nothing but GIVE me Chakra. You lost a lot of Chakra
already, while I have barely used anything.”
“Don’t get
overconfident, brat!” The Raikage said as he was performing hand seals and
closed his eyes. “Abekoberu!!” He reopened his eyes and smirked at Arashi.
“Prepare yourself!! Suiton, Hanrai Suigai!!”
‘Heh, the
old man’s better than I expected. There’s no water around here at all…’ Arashi
prepared himself as he saw the gigantic tidal wave the Raikage had created
descend towards him. And then, Arashi got knocked backwards.
“Hehe! I
bet you’re wondering why your Bloodline Limit didn’t work! I’ve found a way to
get past it!” The Raikage said. There was not a single sign of water anywhere,
nut instead, only small Lightning Bolts. ‘I have to be fast that he’s down
because of the attack!’
The Raikage
was running towards Arashi, but found nothing at all. And then, he heard a
chuckle above him. “Pretty impressive… The Abekoberu… I’ve heard of it. It’s
one way to get past my defenses, indeed… High-level Genjutsu, which makes the
opponent think you’re performing a certain technique, while you’re really
performing an opposite technique. So you made me believe you used water, while
you were really using electricity. But when you closed your eyes to perform
that technique, I jumped into a tree quickly and left a Clone behind. So your little trick failed! You’re also
pretty old…” Arashi pointed out. “You’re already panting, while I’m not even
breaking a sweat! Give up, Raikage-sama. Bow down with respect here!”
“Obito!!!”
Enma was
looking towards the ground. “My apologies, Sarutobi… I failed in protecting one
of your students…”
Kakashi was
weeping freely as his best friend was slowly dying in his arms. “Obito!!
Du-don’t try to speak!!”
The black
haired Uchiha was gagging out blood because he was trying to speak to Kakashi.
“Ka… Hata… ke…”
“No! Don’t
speak!! Medical nins are on their way!!” Kakashi turned to the Monkey King.
“Enma-sama! Do something!!”
Enma shook
his head. “I wish I could, kid… But I’m no medical specialist…”
“Hatake… My
Sharingan…”
A
Medical-nin suddenly jumped into the scenery, startling both Kakashi and Enma.
“Hurry up!” Kakashi screamed.
After a
while, the Medic turned sad and faced Kakashi.
Enma had already left. “I’m sorry… He doesn’t have much longer to live…
But he can speak easier now…”
A/N: Arashi
is a name many authors use for the Fourth. Once the name is really known, I’ll
change it… Also, I’m using the same Bloodline Limit for the Uzumaki Clan as in
‘There Where When is Now, Book 3.’ Not sure about the whole ‘Raikage’ thing. Hope
you enjoyed!
