Invasion of the Leaf

The Kazekage gave a quick signal and soon a large numbers of feathers fell upon the spectators and most were put to sleep instantly. Most of the jounin in the stands were able to detect the genjutsu and instantly dispelled and were immediately under attack but a large number of ninja wearing a headband with a musical note on it.

Baki landed next to Gaara, with Temari and Kankuro in tow. "Temari, Kankuro, you need to get Gaara out of here while he recovers from that attack." Temari and Kankuro both nodded and hoisted Gaara onto their shoulders and jumped off. Sasuke, who had temporarily been shocked, quickly jumped off after them.

Within the Stands

Hinata had quickly seen through the genjutsu and was in the process of waking the other genin that could help. Soon, she had Sakura, Ino, Chouji, Shino and Kiba awake. "You guys, I think we are under attack by a foreign village. We need to go help the civilians throughout the village escape."

"Where are we supposed to bring them?" asked a frazzled Sakura. A Sound ninja snuck up behind Ino and was about to stab her in the head when a kunai flew straight into the ninja forehead. Kakashi landed next to them. "There are several passages that lead into the Hokage Mountain. Hinata should be able to locate them with her Byakugan. Try to escort as many civilians as possible and stick together." Kakashi jumped back into the fray dispatching a Sound ninja with a quick slash to the chest.

The genin stood there looking at Kakashi when Hinata brought them back to the situation. "Snap out of it. We have a mission to do. Kiba, Shino and I will find any civilians will our abilities. Sakura, Ino and Chouji, you will keep the civilians safe until we are able to move to the safe houses." Everyone present nodded and they quickly set off.

Along the Wall

The Sound ninja kneeling around a circle quickly made their hand signs and slammed their palms along the circle. A great screech was heard and a giant three-headed snake summon appeared out the smoke and immediately attacked the wall, making a large gap for enemies to enter. The ninja elated by the summoning failed to notice a red streak of hair bypass them and a large figure behind their positions.

"Kenshin said these enemies would be strong yet they all look weaker than he was when he was younger. No matter, I promised I would help him and help I shall." He darted forward and quickly dispatched the first person he saw. The enemy turned around to one of their own fall to an unknown opponent who was wearing a large cloak. They all pulled out kunai and jumped at him, hoping to finish him off in one strike. "That's right, come at me and see if you can take me down." He jumped at them, knowing full the result of his battle.

In the village

Naruto had just knocked out a Sand ninja when he saw Temari and Kankuro carrying Gaara jumping above him. What in the world? He then saw Sasuke giving pursuit to the group. This does not bode well. "Haku. Do you think you will be able to hold this area without my help?"

"I should be able to Naruto."

"That's good to here. I leave this area to you then." Naruto jumped on top of the rooftops to give pursuit to Sasuke. A sound ninja jumped to intercept Naruto but had several senbon buried into his head and was dead before he even fell back down to the ground. The Sound and Sand ninja in the area were stopped by several mirrors of ice. A voice came out from them. "You will not pass this area." Haku's reflection appeared on the mirrors and soon a veritable hail of senbons flew at them, pinning them down with no escape.

In the Konoha forest with Naruto

What happened to Gaara that he has to be helped by his siblings? And why is Sasuke chasing them? Grr, something must have happened to Gaara. And I am soon going to find out. He jumped out of a tree and landed on a branch with Sasuke off to his right and Temari, Kankuro and Gaara to his left. Gaara was muttering random phrases while Temari, Kankuro and Sasuke were glaring daggers at each other.

Naruto jumped in between them. "Sasuke, stand down. Temari and Kankuro, give me-"Naruto was cut off when a crazed voice was head. "It's you... the boy who got me locked up…get over here so I can kill you!!!" Gaara jumped out of Temari's and Kankuro's arms and tackled Naruto, making them both fall from the tree. Naruto grappled with Gaara as they fell. He saw the ground approaching fast and replaced himself with a log while Gaara crashed in a great puff of sand. The sand then started gather around Gaara and it formed itself into a mini Shukaku around Gaara.

"Gaara, snap out of this. You're stronger than this!"

Gaara gave a laugh. "Gaara is not longer here. That fool was stupid enough to believe that some new seal would keep me locked up forever but he was wrong. All I needed to do what wait for the right moment to take over and now that I am out, nothing is going to stop me. Not even you, Kyubbi container." (AN: Gaara will be referred as Shukaku for the time being)

"We will see about that, Shukaku." Naruto jumped down at him but Shukaku had expected it. "Sand Shuriken!" Naruto was blasted back by a barrage of shuriken and his back slammed against a tree.

Naruto picked himself up and wiped away the blood that dripped out of his mouth. He put his hands into a cross seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!!" 4 clones appeared next to Naruto and he nodded at each one. They all jumped at Shukaku from a different direction. Shukaku tried to target all at once but their movements were too fast for him to track. "NOW!" yelled one of the Narutos. One of the Narutos dashed at Shukaku and he lunged forward to strike him down, only for Naruto quickly spin around his attack. "Ryukansen!" Shukaku felt himself being launched forward when he saw another Naruto crouching low to the ground. "Ryushosen!" A crushing strike hit Shukaku under his chin and he flew up into the air. "Ryutsuisen!!" a harsh blow was struck on top of Shukaku head, sending him hurtling back down to the ground where he landed with a large thud. Shukaku got up slowly and there was a Naruto, ready to attack. "Ryusosen!!" Shukaku fell back from all of the constant hits only to spin around to see Naruto standing in his battojutsu stance. "Soryusen!" Naruto hit him square in the ribs, knocking Shukaku away and slamming him into a tree.

Kankuro and Temari were in shock of someone beating Gaara so quickly while Sasuke could only stare and quietly access the situation. Naruto walked up to Shukaku, who was leaning against the tree when he heard an evil cackle. "You think this is over, boy? This battle has only just begun." All the earth around started to shift under Naruto and sand started to seep out and surround Shukaku. "You will regret the day you ever tried to see me away, boy."

Naruto quickly shouted a warning to Sasuke and the Sand siblings. "Get out of here now!" They stood around looking confused. "I said; get away from this area unless you want to die!" These words seemed to affect them and they quickly moved away hoping to avoid what was going to happen.

The sand continued to pile on top of Shukaku until a large mass of sand was formed and a feral roar was unleashed from inside. A giant figure emerged from within the sand and soon Shukaku was back to his full size before he was sealed into Gaara. Naruto could only stare up at the imposing figure and only wonder how he was going to defeat such a monster.

Shukaku saw Naruto crouching on a tree and he laughed at him. "Not so tough now, are you?" He sent sand flying in Naruto's direction and it started to surround him. "Now, time for you to die!" All the sand around Naruto surrounded him in a cocoon and it compressed down, but before it could fully crush Naruto, a large cloud of smoke appeared and a loud howl was heard. A large fox, several stories tall and several tails swirling behind it, emerged from the cloud of smoke and Naruto clinging on the top of its head.

The fox looked up at Naruto. "My name in Jin-e. Who has summoned me here and for what reason?"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I ask for your assistance in defeating Shukaku, the one-tailed demon."

"I understand, young one." He turned his attention to Shukaku and dashed forward.

Shukaku growled at the new obstacle in his way and suddenly puffed up. "Wind Bullet!" He shot out a large ball of condensed air and it was barely dodged by Jin-e. Naruto noted that Gaara was stuck on top of Shukaku's head. "Jin-e, do you think you will be able to get me close enough for me to be able to make contact with the person stuck on Shukaku's head?"

"It may be difficult with him attacking us from a range but I should be able to complete what you want." The giant fox wrapped his tails around several groves of trees and ripped them out of the ground and held them at ready. Jin-e bounded forward again and Shukaku was already prepared with another Wind Bullet which he shot at Jin-e. He threw the trees at the incoming Wind Bullet and a large smokescreen was created from the collision of two objects.

Shukaku peered at the smoke trying to see if their was anything hiding inside the smoke when Jin-e dashed out of the smoke and latched on to Shukaku, biting down on his neck and gouging his claws into Shukaku's arms. Naruto ran down Jin-e's head with a paper seal that he had been created with the help of Kyubbi's guidance and jumped at Gaara.

"Take this, Shukaku!" He slammed the seal on top of Gaara's head.

"NOOO! I just got out, too." Shukaku's form started to disintegrate and Gaara fell from his spot. Naruto jumped after him and caught him in his arms.

"It seems my job here is done. Until next time, young summoner." Jin-e disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Naruto fell toward the trees and fell down toward a tree that had thick foliage, hoping it would hold the weight of two people. They landed roughly on the leaves, but the branches underneath held strong. The unconscious Gaara started to stir and he sat up rubbing his head.

"Well, seems I owe more thanks, Naruto."

"No need, Gaara. I did what I had to do to stop Shukaku and save you in the process. Nothing more and nothing less. Now, let's get down from here." Naruto offered a hand to Gaara who took it weakly and they proceeded down the tree.

In the Village

Hinata and the rest of the genin had managed to find some isolated villagers and had gathered them to a safe point to be moved toward the safe area. They had managed to gather up about ten people who had bee unaware of the attack and had lagged behind in the evacuations. They instantly set out toward the Hokage Mountain when they were spotted by a two Sound shinobi.

"Hey, you people! Stop right where you are!"

Hinata turned around and saw the two Sound ninja jumping after them. "Kiba, Shino, Ino, Sakura, take the villagers to the safe area. I will delay these two ninja."

"Hinata, that course of action could be a deadly one," Shino told quietly.

"Shino, our priorities are not our own safety but the safety of the villagers. And I am telling you to go without me!"

"How can you even think of leaving us behind while you are going to be fighting ninja that are stronger than you?" Kiba muttered.

"I expect you to trust in my abilities and my judgment. Now as a teammate and a friend, listen to me and go without me." Kiba and Shino obeyed Hinata' request but left grudgingly. The group of villagers was quickly escorted away.

The two ninja tried to catch up to the villagers when they were stopped when they had to evade several shuriken that could have killed them. Hinata had her Byakugan activated and was standing in the Jyuken stance.

The two Sound ninja jumped down with one in her front and one behind her. "Would you look at this man, the little kounichi thinks she can take down two jounin by herself. I say we have a little fun with here once we defeat her." Both ninja jumped at Hinata expecting to overwhelm her only to have several charka points closed. "Hmm, a Hyuuga, huh? Orochimaru has wanted to get his hands the Byakugan and just imagine what he will reward us with when we bring in a Hyugga to him."

Hinata bristled under their gazes and steeled herself. She waited a few seconds and when neither made a move, she dashed forward herself. One of the Sound ninja instantly swiped at her with a kunai, which she ducked under and instantly closed several tenketsu points on the ninja's arm.

He grasped his arm. "Gah, you stupid little bitch. I am going to get you for that." The Sound ninja rushed recklessly forward intent on rushing Hinata down. He aimed his kunai at Hinata's face and confidently yelled "Got you, bitch!"

Hinata gracefully stepped to the side while targeting the tenketsu around his legs and arms, making the ninja stumble forward and fall face first in the ground. Get up but Hinata aimed a kick at his face, knocking him out. Alright, one down and one to go.' Hinata looked around and found him hiding behind several walls. She quietly snuck over to Sound ninja position.

He peeked out past the wall he was hiding behind and saw that Hinata was no longer on the street. He felt slight vibrations coming from above though and looked up to see Hinata bearing down on him, with palms shining with charka. He barely jumped to the side back into the streets to avoid her attack, when her palms slammed against the ground.

"It seems I can't go easy on you, girl." He made a long string of hand seals. "Onpa Engi no Jutsu!" (Sound Wave Amplification technique- this is something I created) A large surge of air exploded from the ninja's body and Hinata noted a thin layer of charka residing in the air.

Hinata moved forward intent on not letting the ninja complete whatever he was going to try and do when she had a sudden bout of dizziness, which she fell to the ground on one knee to try and recover.

"How do you like the effects of my technique? Any movement anybody makes sends off sound waves, but in this area, I have made it into a weapon. With sound directly attacking your ears, I can throw off your equilibrium. Anything in about a 10 meter radius is my area of attack."

Hinata looked up at him. "Thanks for telling me that information." Hinata quickly stood up and ran to get out of the area.

"Not so fast!" The ninja clapped his hands and visible sound waves could be seen as they raced toward Hinata. Her eardrums took a violent lashing as she fell face first toward the ground well short of her target. She grasped her ears and tried to get rid of the ringing in her ears.

She felt herself being pulled by her legs into the air and was slammed rough against the ground on her left shoulder, which she has felt had fractured. She hoisted herself on her right arm when the ninja kicked her savagely in the stomach. She rolled on the ground and she tried to lift herself off the ground, she doubled over as she threw up the contents of her stomach. She rolled over to avoid falling over her own puke and stared blankly up at the sky when the Sound ninja entered her vision.

"So the Hyuuga bitch given up." He slammed his feet into her kneecap, breaking it and she wailed out in pain. "That's to stop you from running away." He pulled out a kunai and pinned Hinata down to the ground with a hand around her throat. "Now time, for me to have some fun, you little slut." He put the kunai at the neck of Hinata's jacket and pulled it down, cutting her jacket clean down the middle.

Hinata was gritted her teeth and started concentrated charka into her right hand. "Well, well, it seems the little girl is a lot more than she looks." The ninja looked at Hinata's body and licked his lips. HE brought his kunai down again to Hinata's shirt and was about halfway down when Hinata spoke up. "Not that you will ever get to see it!" Hinata slammed her charka infused hand in the ninja's forehead. The result was immediate as a liquid started to drip from the ninja's ears and he fell down to the ground dead. Hinata tried to focus her mind enough to be able to start moving again but her body would not respond. She lay futilely on the ground only to see more Sound ninja coming out of the corner of her vision. She succumbed to her injuries and failed to notice a stream of shruiken that flew toward the Sound ninja that killed them in their tracks.

-Back outside along the wall-

The last Sound ninja slid off of the stranger's sword and he swiped his sword in a downward motion to remove the blood from the sword. He observed that the snake has traveled about half a mile into the city, leaving a wide trail of destruction in its path.

He gave a confident smirk and gave chase to the rampaging snake. He ran for a minute before he had reached the tail of the snake when he jumped on and started to move up towards the head, leaving large slashes on its back, making it writhe in pain. This continued until he had reached the top of the head and positioned his sword to pierce the skull of the snake when he looked up to see a large object falling right down on top of him. He quickly jumped off the snake and dashed off to the side and barely dodged the large object had fallen down from the sky.

He angrily looked at what had fallen down on his kill and identified it as a very large toad. "Who the heck summons a giant toad to crush a giant snake?!?!"

A voice from behind him spoke. "That would be me. Do you have anything to say about it, stranger?"

"No other than the fact you stole a kill away from me. But I suppose summoning a giant toad to crush a giant snake would be the easy way out for someone who is weaker, and not a genius like me."

Jiraiya's right eye started to twitch in annoyance. He barely knew this person and already this man was annoying him. They made eye contact when they instantly jumped back into the fray, intent on showing the other up.

-With Kenshin-

Kenshin was bouncing along the walls of Konoha and had only reached up to the top of the building only to be stopped by several Anbu, who were kneeling outside the wall. "Don't touch the wall. Anything that comes in contact with it will instantly burn."

Kenshin walked closer and could make out Orochimaru and Sarutobi were fighting inside. He took out his sword and swung it against the wall of charka. It created a scraping noise but no visible damage was seen on the wall or Kenshin's sword. "It seems that this wall responds to things that are living or organic." He turned to the two Anbu waiting nearby. "I am going to try to disrupt this wall. I want you to try and capture the four people at the corners as they seem to be the ones maintaining this wall."

The Anbu readied themselves while Kenshin stood in his battojutsu stance and focused himself. "Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu: Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki!" The Anbu watching were unable to see the hit and the only result was a single line piercing through the wall and shattering the barrier. The four ninja at each corner was blown back from the charka from the sudden release of charka and Orochimaru could only hiss in displeasure as he saw the barrier disappear around him. He had the Third Hokage on the ropes and was about to finish him off right with his secret jutsu when the barrier had dropped throwing his attention from his hand signs thus failing to summon his targets.

Orochimaru was quickly going through his options when he was interrupted by a sword slash in which he jumped back to avoid. He looked at his new opponent and saw a pair of amber eyes glaring at him. "Be ready to die, snake."

"Not before I kill the old fool." He made a single hand gesture and his Kusanagi flew up off the ground and flew straight toward the Third Hokage. Kenshin saw the blade flying

through the air and jumped to catch it. He threw aside his own sword and caught Kusanagi inbetween his own hands.

Orochimaru hissed in annoyance at another failed attempt of killing his old sensei. "Sound 4, we are leaving." Only three figures jumped to side and he looked to see his fourth surbordinate held down by several Konoha Anbu. "Let's get out of here."

"But, Orochimaru-sama, what about-"

"I said we are leaving." The subordinate shut his mouth. Orochimaru and his subordinates jumped away and when an Anbu jumped up to give pursuit, one of them shot a net of a sticky substance out of his mouth and forced the Anbu back down to the ground.

Kenshin rushed over to the Third who was taking deep breaths and sweating a large amount. "Hokage-sama, are you okay?"

The Hokage looked up. "I'm fine, Kenshin." He gave a weak smile before passing out. Kenshin quickly lifted the Hokage onto his shoulders and attempted to move but found his movements very sluggish and his body unresponsive. 'What is wrong with me?'

He realized his hands had been cut while catching Orochimaru's blade. 'Poison…' That was his last thought before he too passed out.

From this point on I am taking over. first chapter to be out next week.
