Chapter 10 Battle for Konoha Part three

-With Tsunade, Jiraiya and Gaara-

Currently on their knees Jiraiya and Tsunade were struggling to keep breathing as the poison, effects were worsening and the bodies were becoming more and more sluggish and harder to move in time to block or fight.

Gaara was still able to continue fighting, where despite not being able to use his Chakra or Sand was still able to fight with his Katana, and was miraculously able to hold off Orochimaru and the others by himself to give Tsunade and Jiraiya time to rest. Although he was just barely able to hold them off, and would not be able to do for very long, the only reason Gaara was even in better shape than Jiraiya and Tsunade was because he was younger than they were. Hence he could last longer than they could, not to mention his biju, was probably helping him resist the poison effects. But even still it would be only a matter of time before Gaara would become like they were, as he was not immune to the poison effects, despite having a biju sealed in him.

It was at this time that Jiraiya heard the new explosion going on around the village and flashes of light, after which he then turned and saw The Raikage's personal airship along with five other Airships and fifty Sky-Hawk Ninja's flying above the centre of the village. Along with fifteen more airships and many more Sky-Hawk Ninja's flying around the village, firing down on the anti-Konoha coalition forces.

"Tsunade! Gaara! Look!" cried Jiraiya in surprise.

When Tsunade and Gaara turned around to look they could not believe what they were seeing, nor could Orochimaru and his allies when they saw the New Kumo Airships and Sky-Hawk Ninja's.

"I don't believe it…New Kumo! ...but why?" spoke Tsunade in shock and confusion.

"I don't know…but just be thankful they came" replied Jiraiya with clear relief, since far as he was concerned they were the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life, even Gaara looked relieved when he saw them.

"It's New Kumo, what they hell are they doing here!" cried Ryoku, with clear surprise.

"And look they're firing on our forces" said Shinrin and he pointed to the Oto forces being attacked by the Sky-Hawk Ninja's and one of the Giants Snakes being blown apart by the Lightning Cannon on one of the New Kumo airship.

"What the hell is going on?" cried and equally angrily and surprised Doku.

"I knew it, I told you all that we should have forgotten about Konoha, and dealt with New Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance when we had the chance", spoke Shiro angrily.

"How could this have happened, after the event with The Raikage, New Kumo shouldn't even care what happened to Konoha, so why are they here? Could they have learned about ours plans to attack them when we had dealt with Konoha and Suna? Could Tsunade have actually made a secret Alliance with New Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance and the whole event with The Raikage in Konoha had been a sham. So to make us think that New Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance would not help them, so that they could lead us into this trap?" thought Orochimaru in anger and confusion, "No it's not possible they couldn't have!"

"Orochimaru! We have to finish them off now and get back to our forces and reorganise them before they are destroyed by the New Kumo forces", spoke Ryoku fiercely.

"Yes I agree" replied Orochimaru as he got ready along with the others.

Gaara, Tsunade and Jiraiya quickly regrouped and forced their weakened bodies to move and prepare to fight, as with New Kumo now joining the fight on their side. They now had a fighting chance of winning this war and they weren't going let it go by dying.

-End Gundam 00 OST 2 - 29 – Counterattack-

-Eastern side of the village-

Currently fighting the Kiri forces on the Eastern front, Mitsuhide was cutting down any and all Kiri forces that stood against him killing them with chilling ease and precision with his Katana. As well with Shurikens and Kunai's by throwing them at any Kiri-nins that were distances away from him, hitting and killing them with pinpoint precision and accuracy.

To most of the Kiri-nin, Mitsuhide was nothing but a White blur, as he moved too fast for any of them to react quickly enough to defend themselves.

"Who is this guy?" cried a panicking Kiri-nin as he didn't know what was going on, nor who they were fighting against.

"It's Shirotakai no Kiri (Mist's White Death), Akechi Mitsuhide" said a frightened Kiri-nin as he knew Mitsuhide's reputation back when he still with Kiri.

"Actually I go by the title of Kumo no Shirotaka (White Falcon of Cloud)" said Mitsuhide as stabbed the first Kiri-nin in the back of his head with a Kunai, while cut off the head of the other with his Katana.

As Mitsuhide turned around he turned his head slightly so to avoid a fly Kunai that was sent by a Kiri-nin a hundred feet away from him, and was using a Kunai launcher. Using his Takagan (Hawkeye) to target the Kiri-nin, Mitsuhide then threw a Shuriken of his own at the Kiri-nin, the Shuriken flew through the air at such incredible speed and accuracy. That it hit the Kiri-nin right on the head between his eyes within seconds of being thrown by Mitsuhide and killed the Kiri-nin instantly.

It was after dealing with that Kiri-nin that a Kiri Jonin appeared shouting out, "Die you traitor, Suiton: Mizu Kamikiri (Water Style: Rising Water Slicer)".

Mitsuhide of course countered this attack with Ninpō: Shinkuu Kamaitachi (Ninja Art: Vacuum Razor Wind) (T). The high power Wind attack quickly clashed against the Water technique and over powered it, causing it to backlash against the Kiri Jonin who fired it.

The Kiri Jonin quickly jumped away from being hit, where upon landing on nearby street, he saw Mitsuhide heading towards him an astonishing speed. Quickly the Kiri Jonin did a few hand seals and then cried out "Doton: Doryūheki" creating a large earth wall to protect himself from Mitsuhide.

Unfortunately though Mitsuhide was not deterred, when he saw the large wall of Earth, where quickly using the second level of his Takagan and hit a certain point of the Earth wall with the tip of the blade of his Katana, causing the Earth wall to collapsed into pieces.

The Kiri Jonin was so shocked after seeing his Earth wall so easily fall apart after a single hit, that he failed to take notice of Mitsuhide in time, who then slashed his Katana at the Jonin stomach. When the Jonin fell to his knees holding his bleeding stomach and was slowing dying, he only muttered one word.

"H-H-How?"

"Clearly you do not know the special ability of the second level of my Takagan, which allows me to see life points, which is a certain points that every living being and object has. When I hit certain points I can destroy, disable or kill any one or anything, in a way it works similar to the Hyuga Clan's Jūken (Gentle fist), but is much deadlier. The point I just hit on that wall was the centre life point of the wall, which is the weakest point on anything, yet the most difficult to hit, where once I hit it will fall apart like a house of cards" spoke Mitsuhide

After which he then raised his Katana again and severed the Jonin head from his body, to give him a quick and clean death.

At the same time this was happening several Kiri-nins found themselves in a think crimson red mist.

"Fool!" thought the leader of the group "Does this person really think that they can beat us using Kirigakure no Jutsu (Art of Hiding in the Mist), the very technique that our village created and specialise in".

"Don't be nervous, despite the colour difference this is still Kirigakure no Jutsu, meaning we have the advantage, so when whoever attacks us we be ready for them", spoke the leader quietly to his team.

"How wrong you are", spoke a ghostly like female voice.

"Who there show yourself" spoke the leader angrily.

At this a woman's face made out of the red Mist appeared in front of the Kiri group leader, when the Kiri-nins saw the face made out of mist they were naturally surprised. But soon after, the surprised look on the group leader turned to a look of fear, where his face turned pure white with fear. Since he then recognised the face of the woman that they were now seeing, as he had seen her face of Kiri's Bingo book.

"Kiri no Shinkutakai (Crimson Death of Mist), Miyoshi Saiyuri!" spoke the group leader with fear, which was mimicked by the rest of his team, as they had all heard of the infamous nuke-nin who killed Kiri's entire council single handedly.

"Ah! Good you do remember me, but I'm afraid, I no longer go by that name, as I now known as Shinkukiri no Kumo (Cloud's Crimson Mist)", spoke Saiyuri.

Upon realising who they were dealing with the Kiri-nins tried to get out of the mist, but could not get out for whatever direction they went the mist would follow them. When they tired to Shunshin out nothing happened.

"What going on?" cried one of the Kiri-nins.

"Do not bother trying to use your Chakra, as when in my large scale mist form, I can drain the Chakra out of the bodies of any one in it and add it to my own, the same can be said when you release Chakra to use Jutsu", spoke Saiyuri with a slight chuckle, as she was assumed by the angry and fearful looks on the Kiri-nins faces.

"Come out and fight us fair, you bitch!" spoke another Kiri-nin, the next second a short curved sword appeared out of the Kiri-nin's chest.

"That wasn't a very polite thing to a lady such as myself", replied Saiyuri coldly when she stabbed the Kiri-nin with her short curved sword, while holding the other in her other hand.

As Saiyuri drew her curved sword back out of the dead Kiri-nins body, which fell to the ground, another Kiri-nin appeared behind her. Who had his Katana in hand and swung it at Saiyuri, while shouting "Die you traitorous bitch!" But as soon as he swung his Katana at Saiyuri, her body turned to mist and went right through her.

Before the Kiri-nin even knew what happened, Saiyuri in her mist form entered through his mouth, where after a few seconds, the Kiri-nin started to dry out as all the moisture in his body was absorbed by Saiyuri from the inside, turning him into a dried husk.

Saiyuri then quickly left the now dead Kiri-nins body, and went into another nearby Kiri-nin, but instead of absorbing all the moisture in his body, she overflowed it, filling his lungs with Water and causing him to drown.

After killing and leaving the other Kiri-nin's body, Saiyuri then decided to finish up this fight, where she caused her Crimson mist to become even thicker. After which she then decided to use the Sairento Kiringu Justsu (Silent Killing Technique), to finish off the remaining other Kiri-nins in her mist.

Within a few minutes the Crimson mist dissipated, where it revealed the dead bodies of the remaining Kiri group, with Saiyuri standing over them.

Even though all Kiri-nins were trained standardly in Sairento Kiringu, Saiyuri was a true master of it, especially when used in combination with Kirigakure no Jutsu. When combing these two Techniques together, few if any could every hope to beat Saiyuri or even survive.

With the Kiri group dead, a sadistic smirk appeared of Saiyuri's face and spoke out loud to herself, "Now then, who will I fight next", after which Saiyuri disappeared to search out for her next Opponent or victim, which ever way a person would look at it.

Not too far from where Saiyuri was fighting the Kiri Shinobi's, Ichigo and Byakuya were fighting the Oto forces that were coming in from the centre of the village.

Using his high speed and superior swordsmanship, Ichigo was able to easy deal with any Oto, Shinobi, as despite his young age he was a highly skilled Shinobi.

At the same time near where Ichigo was fighting Byakuya, was slaughter the Oto force around him with chilling ease by using his famed Koubaton: Senbonzakura no Jutsu (Plant Style: Thousand Cherry Blossoms Technique). Where he controlled the thousands of Sakura petals in a similar manner that Gaara controlled his Sand, where he used the thousands of Sakura petal, like thousands of tiny blades to cut the Oto Shinobi's to pieces.

Many of the Konoha defenders could not help but stare at how easily and how many enemy Shinobi's this small team of New Kumo Shinobi's were killing, after which many of the defenders where glad that New Kumo was at least fighting with them instead of against them.

As this was happening Kakashi was knocking out an Oto-nin, where he was then called by an ANBU.

"Kakashi-san Look!" spoke the ANBU wearing a Monkey shaped ANBU mask, who then pointed out to the Main Gate and breach to the Eastern side of the village.

When Kakashi looked he saw eight hundred, New Kumo Shinobi's charging forward out of the forestry attacking the now decimated fifth wave outside the village, which was barely even at half strength thanks New Kumo surprise air attack. Within minutes the New Kumo forces that arrived swept away the remainder of the Kiri fifth wave, where they were killed, captured or retreated. After which the New Kumo force quickly moved forward into the village and started to attack the surprised Kiri forces in the village from behind.

Upon seeing the arrival of the New Kumo forces all the remaining Konoha defenders of the Eastern side of the village were embolden even further by the arrival of more reinforcements from New Kumo. The Konoha defenders then began to push back the Kiri forces back, while the New Kumo force attack the Kiri forces from the rear, where once again the Kiri forces were wedge in between to enemy forces pushing forward.

During the fight Yugao, was doing her part as she fought several Kiri-nins by herself, but just as she finished off the last one, another appeared from behind with a Kunai Launcher in his hand and fired it. Before Yugao knew it, two Kunai's were flying in the air and pierced right into Yugao right shoulder and the other into her left leg piercing her deeply and causing her to fall on her knees in pain and drop her Katana.

She then pulled out the Kunai in her shoulder and the other in her leg and then turned around to see where the Kiri-nin that shot her was, and when she did she saw him standing over her with his Kunai launcher right at her face, ready to fire.

"Time to die Konoha-bitch", spoke the Kiri-nin right when he was about to fire, at the same Yugao closed her eyes as she knew she was dead, while thinking "Hayate I'm coming"

But just when the Kiri Shinobi was about to fire a long metal spear came out of the Kiri ninja's chest, killing him within seconds of being stabbed by the spear.

When Yugao opened her eyes after hearing the man's scream and not feeling a Kunai going through her she opened her eyes and looked up to see the spear that appeared in the Kiri-nins chest being pulled out.

When the man's fell down, she saw who her saviour was; he was a tall young and handsome man with long brown hair and a Kumo head band around his head, (11).

"Are you alright miss?" asked the man politely.

"Eh …Y-Yes I 'am, t-thank you" spoke Yugao as she was still a bit shocked at what had just happened, "W-Who a-are you".

"My name is Zhao Yun Captain of Daimyo's Royal Guard to the Daimyo of Kaminari no Kuni.

Hearing this of course shocked Yugao as it was an unusual position for a Shinobi of a Shinobi village to have. Sure the Fire Daimyo had the Shugonin Jūnishi (Twelve Guardian Ninja), but they were not Konoha Shinobi's. As they took orders from Fire Daimyo and would not take part in Konoha battles or any missions for it, nor would they wear Konoha headbands. If a Shinobi of Konoha became a member of the Shugonin Jūnishi they would have to give their Shinobi rank in the village up, although they could take it back once they resigned or retired from the Shugonin Jūnishi, where the same could be said the other way around.

It was then that Zhao noticed Yugao was wounded and went and picked her up in his hands.

"W-What are you doing?" cried a surprised and slightly embarrassed Yugao, who was blushing slightly as she was an ANBU captain and was not use to being carried like this and was even slightly humiliated.

"You're wounded and you are in need medical treatment", replied Zhao.

"It's nothing I can take care of myself" argue Yugao although, she knew with the wound on her leg she could not walk let alone run, and her wound in her shoulder would decreased her fighting ability. But still her pride as a Kunoichi and as a ANBU captain, refused to allow to admit that, fortunately though Zhao Yun ignored Yugao's protests and told her he would not let her go until a medic cleared her.

Yugao, would have argued more, but when she looked at Zhao's face she knew she would not win this argument and relented. Although she did get Zhao to pick up and give her Hayate's Katana, which she had dropped when wounded, telling him that it had important sentimental value to her.

After picking up the Katana and giving it to Yugao, Zhao then went off to bring her to a nearby New Kumo medic, to heal her wounds.

-Western Side of the Village-

On the Western side of the village, Hinata was fighting fiercely along side many of her Clan's men and women, with her Sister Hanabi fighting nearby on her right and side, and Hiashi and Neji fighting not too far way from her on her left hand side. Also a bit away ahead of her was her Sensei Kurenai who was fighting several Kusa-nins with a few Konoha Shinobi's from the Kurama Clan, where they used their Genjutsu's to confuse or knocking out any enemy Shinobi's that they met.

As the fighting became fiercer, Hinata saw a large force of Shinobi mercenaries belonging to the Hannya Clan heading right for Kurenai and the other Shinobi's with her.

"Kurenai-sensei, look out!" cried Hinata, warning her Sensei of the large incoming force of enemy Ninja's.

Hearing Hinata and turning to see the incoming force, Kurenai quickly order the Kurama Clan members to fall back, which they did. But as soon as she was about to so herself, a stray fire Jutsu fired by a Konoha ninja hit just next to her, knocking her off her feet and sending her flying off several feet away. Fortunately though she wasn't hurt, but was a bit dizzy from the blast.

As Kurenai tried to regain her bearings, the enemy force was quickly shortening the distance between them.

"Kurenai-sensei!" cried Hinata as she tried to save her Sensei, but knew she could not get there it time.

But just as the enemy force was nearing Kureani and sudden loud cry was heard shouting out, "Katon: Houome (Fire Style: Mystical Phoenix Rain)! (U)" after which a dozen of so birds made out of fire appeared out of almost no-where and hit the group of Hannya Clan mercenaries. Causing massive explosions of fire to erupted in the street that the enemy Shinobi were travelling in, where many of them were killed because of them.

After which a tall man with long brown hair with a red headband around his head stood in front of her.

"Are you alright miss?" asked the man politely turning to Kurenai.

"Eh …Y-Yes I 'm, fine thank you" spoke Kunenai as she was still dizzy from the blast, "W-Who a-are you".

"My name is Zhou Yu I 'am from Kaminari no Kuni" replied Zhou.

"You're from New Kumo" spoke Kurenai.

"I'm not a New Kumo Shinobi, if that is what you're referring, but I 'am from New Kumo" replied Zhou.

Confused by what Zhou was saying, as he stated he was from New Kumo but wasn't a Shinobi, yet still new ninjutsu. But before Kurenai could ask him what he meant Zhou drew his sword, at the enemy force that he had just attack, which had just quickly reorganised themselves. Despite losing half their number because of Zhou Yu attack, but before they could attack Zhou and Kurenai another voice spoke out "Ame no Yajirushi (Raining Arrows) (V)". After which a hundred or so small blue arrows made out of Chakra appeared and rained down on the enemy Shinobi's killing about a third of them, while the rest were able to avoid.

As soon as the attack ended another voice cried out "Koton: Koga (Steels Release: Steel Fangs) (W)"after which a dozen of small metal points shaped like small arrowheads flew straight at several of the enemy ninja's killing them.

After that attack, yet another voice "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)", where a large Black Lion the size of a small house with red eye, a white main and golden claws appeared in front of the remaining enemy Shinobi's. Also sitting on top of the large summons was a young girl with short black hair in her early twenties, wearing a navy blue tank-top with a white Hawaiian flowered design underneath a sleeveless dark-gray vest. Both stop just below the rib-cage, revealing her midriff. She also wore shorts, a dark-gray colour belted hip-pack that rested across her right hip. Along with a black and white forehead protector with the Kumo symbol on it, as well as a white wristband on her right arm and a black cloth that starts from below her elbow and partially covers her left hand. She also had a pair of laced knee-high boots with black socks that have two white stripes at the top and carried a large Fuma shuriken on her back.

"Ok Raion, time to show these guys what it's like to face a summons of the Kisaragi Clan" spoke the young girl.

"With pleasure" spoke the Black Lion and then roared out, "Raiton: Raikō (Lightning Style: Thunder Roar)! (X)", where he fired a powerful blast of Lightning out of his mouth much like roar and utterly destroyed the remaining enemy group.

"Nicely done Yuffie-san and Raion-san, and impeccable timing Uryū-san and Tomoe-san" spoke Zhou to the young man with Glasses named Uryū and a young girl named Tomoe who was next to Uryū, both of whom appeared after the Raion destroyed the enemy force and then puffed away.

"Naturally of course" spoke Uryū as he fixed his Glasses, Uryū wore a long white glove on his left hand that was connected to the bow, which seemed to spring from it. He also wore what appeared to be samurai like armour covering his left side and arm. The shoulder armour was a silvery colour, bearing the common blue cross that was normally on Ishida Clan members clothes, while the white clothing area of the outfit contains rows of parallel blue vertical lines. (12)

"It was nothing" spoke Tomoe simply; Tomoe had long black hair with green eyes and wore black leather pants with black boots and a Black Tank top that that stopped to show her midriff and had short black armbands on both her arms.

"Piece of cake, although you could have handled them simply enough if we hadn't come", said Yuffie with a small smile.

"Kurenai-sensei are you all right?" asked Hinata who just appeared and went to help her sensei back on her feet.

"Yes I'm fine Hinata, thanks to these people" spoke Kurenai, as she held her head as it still stung a little.

"I assume that you're from New Kumo" spoke Neji as he Hiashi and Hanabi arrived together with Hinata, although he already knew they were, as Yuffie wore a Kumo headband unlike the others.

"Yes they are, as they are with me" spoke Nadie as she appeared out of the ground like a ghost surprising the Konoha-nins for a moment as they were still not use to that. Even though Neji, Hiashi and Hinata, knew she could do that after meeting her earlier.

It was after Nadie sudden appears that Kurenai noticed explosions caused by Lightning jutsu's along with a few other elemental Ninjutsu explosions coming from the Western Gateway and the breach in the Western wall behind the Kusa and Hannya Clan lines. She knew that they weren't from the New Kumo airships and Sky-Hawk Ninja's as they were no falling to the ground like the others.

"What going on over there at the gateway and the breach, there shouldn't be any fighting at either of those places as the Kusa and Hannya Clan forces already have control of them", spoke Kurenai as she pointed to the direction of the Western gateway.

"That would be our ground forces attacking the Kusa and Hannya Clan forces from behind" spoke Zhou.

But before any of the Konoha group could ask, what exactly was happening there, a Hyuga member suddenly appeared in front of Hinata on one knee.

"Hinata-sama I have urgent news to report".

"Then report, Kō" spoke Hinata, authoritatively showing why she was now the head of the Hyuga Clan.

"We have sighted a large force estimated of about eight hundred Shinobi's belonging to New Kumogakure entering the village and attacking the enemy from behind, causing much confusion among the them", spoke Kō.

"I believe that with the arrival of our ground forces, which are now attacking the enemy from behind, you should have your own forces make a counterattack and trap the enemy between us", spoke Uryu.

Hinata of course nodded in agreement and turned to Kō and told him to inform all remaining Konoha, Suna and Tsuchigumo Clan Shinobi's on the Western front to counterattack the Kusa and Hannya Clan forces.

Once Kō nodded his head in understanding and left, Nadie then spoke again, "Well then I believe that we should get back to the fight and rejoin our forces", after which Nadie, Zhou, Uryu, Yuffie went off, Tomoe was about to follow after them but before she did, she turn and turned slightly to Hinata and the others.

"Are you not coming, this is your village after all?"

Nodding their heads Hinata and the others quickly followed to rejoin the battle and drive the enemy out of their village.

-Southern side of the Village-

"Mītobōken (Meatball Punch)! (Y)" cried Choji in his Giant form, where his fist became twice the size of already giant size, and slammed his fist right into the side of one of the Giant Bear summons head, knocking it out when it hit the ground and crushed some building near it.

After knocking the Giant Bear summon out Choji fist returned to normal, but once it did Choji was left panting a sweating slightly, where he was forced to shrink down to his normal size. This was because the Technique he used took a lot out of him as maintaining his giant form and then using a Bubun Baika no Jutsu (Partial Multi-Size Technique), to increase his fist to go beyond his limit was not easy on his body, not to mention it took a lot of Chakra to use.

Once he returned to his normal size he saw his father fighting with one of the last two remaining Bear summons, as the first had been killed by a trap in the beginning of the battle. The second had been killed by a squadron of Sky-Hawk Ninja's using a combination of Wind, Lightning and Fire Ninjutsu along with several high powered exploding notes, and he himself had dealt with the third leaving two left. His three Clansmen who had been battling beside him and father against the Bear summons had been wounded from battling the Bear summons and had to return to their normal size to get medical treatment.

It was after he returned to his normal size that Shikamaru and Ino ran up to him.

"Choji are you alright?" asked Ino with clear concern on her face and in her voice.

"I'm fine Ino-chan, just a bit tired and hunger, but that's nothing that Miko-chan home cooking couldn't solve", answered Choji with a smile as he mentioned his wife's cooking.

At hearing this, the two friends and team-mates smiled, knowing that he would be fine.

"Your one troublesome person Choji" spoke Shikamaru with a slight smile, which quickly disappeared when he saw a massive Shadow cover them and heard a monstrous roar. When they looked up they saw one of the last two remaining giant Bear summons standing over them with its paw ready to slam down on them.

Seeing this Choji quickly used his Bubun Baika no Jutsu to increase the size of his fist hands and pushed both Ino and Shikamaru away so that they would not be crushed by the Bear's paw.

After being pushed away by Choji, both Ino and Shikamaru watched with fear as the giant Bear's paw came down on their friend, where the only thing they could do was watch and shout out "CHOJI!"

As the Bear's paw was about to come down on Choji an unknown voice suddenly shouted out "Sabuton: Suna no Tate (Sand Style: Sand Shield)!" Upon which a large cloud of dust blocked Shikamaru's and Ino's view of what happened. Fearing the worst after the dust cleared from the attack, the two friends could barely bring themselves, to open their eyes to see what had happen.

But when they did they were shocked, yet overjoyed to see that Choji had not been crushed under the giant Bear summons paw. Instead he had been protected by a shield of sand, which fell apart when the giant Bear summons lift its paw up.

Quickly both Shikamaru and Ino raced over to their friend to see if he was alright, which he thankfully was, although was slightly shaken and confused at what happened, as he was certain he be dead.

Quickly regaining themselves, Shikamaru and the others looked around for Gaara, who they believed was, the one who had saved Choji, but before they could fully look around they heard someone cry out "Daikamaitachi no Jutsu (Great Sickle Weasel Technique)!" After which a powerful gust of Wind erupted and hit the giant Bear summon and pushed it back and causing many cuts on its body.

When the attacked ended a tall women who looked to be in her mid to late thirties appeared in front of Shikamaru, Ino and Choji, holding a large fan similar to the one Temari had.

"Are you three ok?" asked the woman without turning to them, as she continued to watch the giant Bear summon.

"Yea we are, thanks, but who are you?" asked Ino.

"My name is Cai Wengi (13), I' am leader of the leader of the Wengi Clan and I'm a Shinobi of New Kumo", replied Cai.

At this Shikamaru and the other eyes widen, as they remembered Jiraiya mentioning the Wengi Clan being part of New Kumo, back when he came from his Intel mission in Kaminari no Kuni.

"Troublesome, now I remember, Jiraiya-sama mentioned that the Wengi Clan were able to mimic Gaara's Sand Jutsu's to a certain extent. Temari even said that they were also powerful Wind Jutsu users", thought Shikamaru as he remembered hearing about the Wengi Clan from Jiraiya after his Intel mission and Temari back when they dated.

Soon after though, the giant Bear summons let out another loud roar and was about to attack Cai Wengi, Shikamaru and the others. But before it could a Black blur suddenly appeared beside the Bear's head, where it then hit it, causing the Bear summon to stumble slightly sideways from the force of the hit.

Before the Bear could even regain itself the blur appeared on top of its head revealing it to be a tall blond woman. The woman then charged her hands up with a massive amount of Lightning Chakra and slammed her hands down on top of the giant Bear's head and the cried out, "Jinrai (Thunder Clap)! (Z)"

After which massive voltages' erupted all over the giant Bear summons body, causing it to roar out in pain from the Lightning attack, where soon after it fell to the ground unconscious. Where Cai, Shikamaru and the other had to jump away to a house rooftop nearby to avoid being crushed by the Bear summons body, like several other buildings that it crashed on. After which the air around the unconscious giant Bear became filled with the smell of burnt fur.

When the dust cleared from the giant Bear summons falling, the women that had been on top of the Bear's head appeared in front of them.

"Must you always make a scene when you arrive Taira", spoke Cai, who was slightly annoyed at the destruction the woman named Taira caused when the giant Bear collapsed on the ground.

At this Taira just smirked and said, "Well like the old saying, if you want to make an entrance, you might as well make it big".

Taira was a tall and extremely attractive young woman in her mid twenties with long blond hair that went down to her rear and wore Black leather pants with tall Black leather boots; she also wore a strapless short Corset that stopped short to show her midriff. The corset also helped to emphasize her ample D-cup breasts the corset also split open between her breast and go down in a Lightning bolt shape but was held together by tin but strong strands of string that went in between the split. This would in turn often distract male and certain female enemy Ninja's that she fought, she also wore two long armbands on both her arms and a choker around her neck.

At this Cai only shook her head and smirked in amusement, "Honestly, I don't know who worse, you or your husband at the way you both act at times", this remark of course just caused Taira to smirk.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" spoke Ino as she looked at Taira.

"Ah, allow me to introduce you to my team-mate Taira and a member of The Go Genso no Megami (The Five Elemental Goddesses), like myself".

"The Go Genso no Megami?" asked Choji not fully understanding, as he never heard of such a group.

"Troublesome", spoke Shikamaru before either Cai or Taira could answer Choji question. "You're a group of Kunoichi's that are no doubt highly skilled and specialise in elemental Ninjutsu, where there are five of you who specialise each in one of the five main elements".

At this both Cai and Tiara smirked , "Right on the first guess, but then again I heard that despite you Nara's being slow to act and being pretty much lazy, your minds are a sharp and as quick as a master Katana sword", spoke Taira.

"Indeed you're correct Shikamaru-san, there are five members in our group and each of us specialise in each of the five main elements. Taira, as you no doubt know is highly skilled in Lightning Jutsu and I'm quite skilled in Wind Jutsu. While the other members of our group specialise in the other remaining three main elements", spoke Cai.

Once the explanation were done Cai, Taira and the Neo Ino-Shika-Cho notice some heavy activity and fighting going on behind the Iwa lines.

"What's going on there?" asked Ino.

"My guess is that our ground forces have finally arrived", spoke Taira.

"How many Shinobi's did you bring?" asked Shikamaru.

"About twenty-four hundred, where it has been split into three Battalions consisting of eight hundred Shinobi's each, attacking each of three breaches' that the enemy are attacking from", replied Taira.

At this Shikamaru nodded in understand, where even though the New Kumo force was about a tenth of the enemy coalition size, they had the advantages of surprise, out manoeuvring the enemy and had air-support. With these along Konoha and its allies they stood a real chance of winning this battle.

Soon enough the group decided to rejoin the battle to drive the enemy out of Konoha.

Not too far from where Shikamaru and the others met Cai and Taira, Choji's father Choza was battling with the last of the Bear summons, and nearby him were his old team-mates Inoichi and Shikaku fighting several Iwa-nins.

As Choza was battling the last Bear summons, the giant Bear made a slash at him with its large claws, fortunately though his armour had protected him from any harm. But before he reengage the Bear summons a young girl's voice suddenly shouted out "Katon: Jōkaku Enjō (Fire Style: Fortress Blaze)" after which an immense wall of flame appeared around the Bear summons and surrounded it and then formed a huge contained sphere of flame that trapped it.

"What the hell is that?" cried Choza in surprise.

At this a young girl, who looked to be no older than twelve appeared on a nearby rooftop giggle.

"Hey old guys are you all ok?" shouted the girl to Choza , Inoichi and Shikaku, who were still staring dumbfounded at the wall of fire that trapped the Bear summons.

"Hey are you all deaf?" cried the girl "I asked you if you were ok?"

At this the three men got out of their stupor and turned to girl who loked to be no more that twelve years old, where Inoichi was the first to speak, "Eh, yes we're fine thank you, but who are you?"

"Names Pimiko and don't you forget it, I'm Hi no Megami (Fire Goddess) and one of the Go Genso no Megami of New Kumo" spoke the girl proudly. As she said this, the three elder men could only stare as they still found it hard to accept that a girl like that could trap a massive summons like that Bear with a high level jutsu like that. But before any of them could even ask her how she did this Pimiko spoke up again.

"See you guys around I got some more fighting to do, don't over strain yourselves" said Pimiko as she then jumped of into the streets to help in the fighting.

When she left the three men turned once again looked at the fiery sphere, after which Shikaku muttered the words troublesome, which his team-mates could only nodded their heads in agreement, before they got over what just happened and went back to join the fighting.

Currently fighting several Iwa-nins, were Tsume her ninken Kuromaru and Shibi, after a few minutes of fierce fighting the two Konoha Shinobi's had defeated their adversaries. But as soon as they did they saw a dozen or so more Iwa-nins heading their way, as they prepared to fight the new wave of enemy Shinobi's a young girl of about twelve years of age, wearing a short white dress outfit, appeared a few feet in front of them.

When they saw the girl, they were both naturally surprised as all civilians were supposed to have been evacuated days ago, upon seeing the girl Tsume quickly shouted "Girl, get out of the way and hide, this in no place for you to be here".

But despite Tsume's cries, the girl did not respond to it, as if she did not hear them, as the Iwa-nin grew closer the girl quickly did a quick hand seal and cried out "Suiton: Bakusui Shōha (Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave)!". After which great volume of Water erupted from her mouth, and a massive wave of Water surge forward towards the charging Iwa-nins, who could not avoid the massive wave of Water and were washed away down the narrow street by the wave.

Both Shibi and Tsume were naturally greatly surprised by a young twelve year old girl being able to use a high level B rank level Suiton jutsu and decided to confront her.

"Excuse me young girl, but who are you and what are you doing here?" asked Shibi.

"Oh! My apologises", said the girl politely, only really noticing Tsume and Shibi now, "My name in Yoshino of New Kumo it is a pleasure to meet you", finished the girl with a slight bow.

When Tsume and Shibi asked what she was doing here, as other than in emergency, when every Shinobi was needed in a battle, young Genin's and Shinobi's below the age of sixteen, where kept out of large scale battles such as this.

Yoshino quickly explained that she was a member of an elite group of Kunoichi's called The Go Genso no Megami and she was known as the Mizu no Megami due to her high skill in Water Ninjutsu. Surprised by this, both Shibi and Tsume tried to find out more at why she was here and about her group, but before they could the girl told them that she had to leave and help out in the battle, where she then left. Not wanting to leave all the fighting to a young girl, both Shibi and Tsume followed after her to help.

Not far from where Tsume and Shibi had been fighting, Kiba's sister Hana, her ninkens The Three Haimaru Brothers, Konohamaru and his team-mates Moegi and Udon along with some other Konoha and Suna Ninja's were currently in a large battle with a large group of Iwa Ninja's.

As the battle continued Moegi noticed more Iwa Shinobi's coming towards them and threatening to overwhelm them.

"Konohamaru! More Iwa-nins are coming this way we need to fall back before they overwhelm us", cried Moegi.

"We can't, if we fall back then Iwa will break through this sector and will spilt our line in two, we're holding this position right down to the last Shinobi", spoke a steadfast Konohamaru. As he wasn't going to allow the village that his parents, Grandparents and uncle fought and died for be destroyed and would not allow Konoha fall, at least not until he accomplished his dream of being Hokage both for himself and for Naruto.

"Well spoken Konohamaru-san", spoke an unknown female voice from above, when they looked up on a nearby rooftop, they saw a tall woman with long Brown hair that went down to her mid back, clad in ornate, armoured green kimono, along with Kumo headband around her head.

"Who are you?" asked a surprised Konohamaru as he did not recognise her, although he knew she was from New Kumo due to her headband symbol.

"I' am Shinmen Uki of New Kumo also known as Chi no Megami (Goddess of Earth) and member of The Go Genso no Megami", spoke the women named Uki.

"Shinmen Uki of the Shinmen family" spoke one of the Iwa-nins who was the captain of the group, with slight confusion look, that quickly turned to anger, "You traitor! …You betrayed our village by joining our enemies!"

"I 'am no traitor, the only traitors here are Ryoku and those like you who support and follow him, those who helped him murder the rightful leader of Iwagakure Ryōtenbin no Ōnoki (Ōnoki of Both Scales) The Sandaime Tsuchikage along with his Clan. As well as my family who were murdered by mercenaries hired Ryoku, because they were the only ones that had the courage to speak out and resist Ryoku's tyrannical rule", spoke Uki with clear anger and hatred in her voice when she said this.

"Don't listen to her, she nothing more than a filthy traitor, trying to discredit the Tsuchikage, and even if what she said is true about her family. They were nothing but traitors themselves as well, as any who defies the Tsuchikage's are traitors to Iwa", spoke the Iwa captain to his Shinobi's.

"Just as I expect for a stooge of Ryoku to say", spoke Uki with a slight disgust.

"Kill her!" cried the Iwa Captain, but before he or any of the other Iwa-nins could even attack her, Uki did a quick Ram seal and cried out "Doton: Doryūheki!" and created a massive wide wall of Earth that split the Konoha defenders from the Iwa force apart, with Uki standing on top of the wall. After which she did another hand seal and slammed her hand on the massive wall of Earth and the cried out "Doton: Iwanage Atakku (Earth Style: Rock Bombardment)! (A1)". Upon which the massive wide wall of Earth broke apart into large pieces and collapsed down on the large group of Iwa-nins who could not avoid it due to the shear size and width of the wall when it collapsed down on them, where they were crushed by the falling boulders.

When the attack ended any buildings or Iwa-nins within a hundred meters of the collapsing Earth wall were crushed by the falling rocks. The Konoha and Suna Ninja's were of course stunned at how Uki had created such a massive wall of Earth and how she killed at least sixty Iwa Ninja's along with destroying everything else in front of her in the one attack.

"Damn...I'm glad she on our side", spoke Konohamaru,which got nods of agreement from the rest of his group, as they watched Uki go off to fight more Iwa-nins.

Soon after though Konohamaru and the others quickly got out of their stupors and got their heads back in the game and went to join Uki and drive back the Iwa-nins. Who were now pinned between between the Konoha defenders and the newly arrived New Kumo Shinobi's, as they were being attack from the front and the back.

-On Board the Raikage's Personl Airship-

On board his Personal airship The Raikage was watching the battle from his command seat on the bridge of the ship.

As he was observing, the captain of the ship and the Commander of the airship fleet Lu Xun approached him and saluted him.

"Report Commander!" spoke The Raikage

"Raikage-sama, I 'am pleased to report that our surprise attack has succeeded without fault, as our forces have caught the enemy by complete surprise, and are in total confusion. The enemy fifth wave has been utterly destroyed, where any reaming Shinobi's from it have retreated or have been killed or capture by our own forces, who are now currently attacking the other enemy's forces rear", reported Lu Xun.

"Excellent work Commander, now inform all airship around the village to rendezvous at our position, and inform them that Phase Meteor is about to begin", replied The Raikage.

"Hai Raikage-sama", said Lu Xun as he saluted, before going to the intercom for the airship.

"Attention all Shinobi personal, Attention all Shinobi personal, Phase Meteor is about to begin, I repeat Phase Meteor is about to begin, all Shinobi personal are to report to their assigned points, I say again all Shinobi personal are to report to their assigned points", spoke Lun Xun over the radio.

-Gundam Seed Destiny OST II - Hajimari ga Yue-

After several minutes, all twenty airships that were flying above around the centre of Konoha and were now gathered around The Raikage personal airship.

After which The Raikage gave the order to begin, where all the New Kumo airship opened the large Bombay doors on the underbelly of the airships, where over four hundred man size objects fell to the ground from the airship fleet.

From the ground many Shinobi's on both sides stopped their fighting to see the airship fleet dropping the objects.

"Are New Kumo dropping bombs now?" thought a Konoha Ninja who saw the airships dropping the objects.

Within seconds the objects crashing to the ground, all within close proximity of each other, where many even went through the roofs of several buildings. But soon after crashing to the ground, the objects didn't blow up like many expected them to. İnstead they opened up showing that they were not bombs but dropping pods.

After opening up, the four hundred Shinobi's inside the pods quickly got out of them and gather together. But three hundred of these Shinobi's were not ordinary New Kumo Shinobi's they were STORM, BOLT and SHOCK Shinobi's and among them were Yoruichi, Soifon and Ryū, the leaders of each of these ANBU divisions. The remaining other one hundred Shinobi's that were dropped by the airships were Combat Medics and other Shinobi's of elite skills. Also with them as well was the leader of the CIND division Youkai Masato, who was eager to deal some major payback on Oto and Orochimaru for what he did to him..

"Alight ladies and gents it time to take care of this trash", spoke Yoruichi.

"Show them how the Shinobi's of New Kumo fight", said Soifon.

"For the Glory of New Kumo, The Heavenly Alliance and The Raikage", spoke Ryu.

"HAI!" shouted all three hundred ANBU level Ninja's together, before they broke apart in their teams and began to attack the Oto Shinobi's.

With the arrival of the SHOCK, BOLT and STORM Battalion, the battle in the centre of Konoha was quickly turning against the invaders. As the Battalion of ANBU ninja's proved to be too much for the Oto ninja's to handle, even Orochimaru's elite SONIC division was no match for New Kumo's elite STORM Shinobi's.

Using their superior training and fighting skills along with their superior teamwork, the three ANBU division units were quickly cutting down the Oto Shinobi's, who were falling like flies.

At the same time that the three ANBU divisions from New Kumo arrived, Gamaken and Katsuyu along with Sasuke's Hawk summons, also arrived in the centre of the village to help Gamahiro and Gamabunta against the remaining seven giant Snake summons.

As the ANBU battalion was tearing through the Oto forces in the centre of the village, the most noteworthy person to be fighting the Oto forces was Masato. Who was in his partially transformed demon state and was literally ripping the Oto-nins apart, where his eyes were glowing bright Crimson Red, and his hands became claw like strength became monstrous like as well. As he fought them he showed no mercy what's so ever to the followers of Orochimaru.

As Masato and the other New Kumo ANBU forces cutting through the Oto forces, many of the Konoha, Suna and Tsuchigumo Clan Shinobi's could not help, but watch the New Kumo ANBU divisions with stun looks. As they wiped out the Oto force with chilling ease as if they were nothing to them, many could not help but also be greatly impressed with many of the SHOCK, BOLT and STORM members, as their teamwork with each other was in perfect sync with one another, just as the rumours they had heard said.

"Damn these guys are good" said one Chunin as he and his partner watched a pair of STORM-nins combine a Water Jutsu. That none of them had ever seen or heard of before, with a Lightning Jutsu that they also never seen or heard of before and use the combination Jutsu to wipe out two platoons of SONIC-nins. They also saw a pair of BOLT-nins speed right through three squads of regular Oto-nins and cut them with expert skill.

"Yeah!" said the other, "I'm glad they are on our side or else we would be in big trouble", where his partner only nodded in agreement.

It was then that a large frame shadow of a man stood over the two Chunin and the other group of Konoha defenders from the roof of a small house. When the two Chunin and the others noticed it and looked up they saw Morino Ibiki, head of the Torture and Interrogation division in ANBU and one of the most feared men in all of Konoha.

"In case you lot haven't noticed, there's an invasion going on. Do any of you guys want to face your sweethearts tonight knowing that we left all the fighting to a foreign village and do you also want to let New Kumo take all the glory from this battle?" shouted out Ibiki. Who despite his angry look was as equally impressed with the three New Kumo ANBU divisions fighting skills as any of the others, but did make sure not to show it or interfere with his duty to defend the village.

This open question of course quickly snapped the two Chunins and the others out of their stupor and they directed their efforts to repelling the invasion force.

At this point, both Sofon and Yoruichi stood on a large building, which gave them a clear view of three of the large Snake summons, deciding to take care of them. Both Soifon and Yoruichi charged up their Shunkō (Flash Cry) where Soifon's haori and Yoruichi's orange over-shirt were ripped apart revealing their backless ninja outfits.

Once both their Shunkō's were fully powered up and ready both female Commanders cried out "Shunkō!" after which a loud screeching sound was heard. Which caused many Shinobi's on both sides to stop fighting when they heard it and look towards Soifon and Yoruichi, while other covered their ears due to the loudness of the attack, after which a massive blast of Lightning Chakra was fired from them, right at two of the three giant Snakes.

Where once the blasts hit them there were two bright flashes of lights and two massive explosions, where once they died down all that was left of the giant Snakes was their chard remains, which fell to the ground and crushed several buildings that their chard bodies landed on before puffing away.

After two of the giant Snake summonses were dealt Soifon and Yoruichi quickly raced forward to deal with the third. But before they could Hayabusa Ryū appeared in the air above the third Snake summons, Ryu then quickly used a powerful fire Jutsu in the shape of a large wheel of fire that hit the summon right on the head. Which caused the Snake summons to howl in pain from the attack as it whole face was burnt badly from the attack, Ryu then unsheathed his Katana that was on his back and charged it up with his Lightning affinity to enhance his Katana's stabbing power.

Where he dropped down on the giant snake's head he stabbed down hard right down on the Snake summons forehead, killing it instantly, where he then quickly ran forward and slide down the snake summons scaly. All the while, channelling more of his Lightning Chakra into his Katana so to enhance its cutting power, where as he was sliding down the snake's body, he cut the snake's body in two, right up till he reached its tail. Where when he reached it, he did a quick front somersault flip and landed right in front of Yoruichi and Soifon, who were at the end a few feet away from the end of the snake tail, which puffed away after its body fell down on some nearby buildings.

-End Gundam Seed Destiny OST II - Hajimari ga Yue-

"Show off" said Yoruichi with a slight smirk.

"I can assure you Yoruichi-san I'm nothing of the short, besides you of all people cannot criticize me, given your record", spoke Ryu, where if one listened carefully they would hear a slight trace of humour in his voice.

This of course caused Yoruichi's smirk to grow, knowing what Ryu said was true as she did have a reputation in showing off a lot.

Not too far away from them, many of the Shinobi's on both sides could only gap at what they, saw as they still could not believe what they had seen. Where those three people, each fought and killed three massive Snake summons by themselves without summoning creatures of equal size or strength and did it with terrifying ease.

"Those guys are monsters!" stated an Oto-nin where he was beginning to think that he and his fellow Oto-nins should get out of here while they still could. As they stood no chance against Shinobi's as powerful as Yoruichi, Soifon and Ryu.

Also many of the Konoha defenders who heard the Oto-nins statement, could not help but agree with him, while at the same time, thanking whatever deity they could think of, that New Kumo was on their side.

After defeating the Giant snake summons Yoruichi, Ryu and Soifon split up to take on more Oto Shinobi's.

Soon after splitting up Yoruichi met came across an unconscious and badly wounded Tenten and the dead body of Udo Jinne near her.

"To think that a girl this young was able to match blades and kill someone as skilled and deadly as well as experience in Kenjutsu fighting as Jinne…This one definitely got a lot of talent and promise", thought Yoruichi as she began to work on healing Tenten. Although she was no medic Yoruichi had plenty of experience and pratice in treating wounds like this, from the many years of fighting both on missions and in the Civil War.

Soon after healing Tenten's wounds, Yoruichi pumped in some Chakra into Tenten to waken her up.

When Tenten woke up, she quickly sat up, although when he did she felt dizzy due to the blood-loss she suffered from her wounds.

"Easy now your ok", said Yoruichi has she held the girl's back to keep her from falling back on the ground. "Here take this", said Yoruichi as handed Tenten a pill, "It's a blood pill and it will restore the blood you lost from your battle with Jinne of there", said Yoruichi as she pointed to Jinne's body behind them.

Once Tenten took the pill she started to regain focus of herself, where when she did she finally realised who had saved her and who she had been talking to.

"You're Shihōin Yoruichi the Kōsoku aijin (Speed Mistress) of New Kumo, but what are you doing here, New Kumo isn't involved in our war" said Tenten with some shock and surprise. As she made it a point to know all the most well known or powerful Kunoichi in the elemental continent".

At Tenten surprise Yoruichi just smiled, "Good you known my name, so that saves introductions, as I know who you are Mikumo Tenten, or should I say Chief Commander of the Konoha's ANBU assassination division, better known as Okami ken no Konoha. As I have heard a lot about you and considering how you killed someone as skilled and as dangerous as the Kurogasa (The Black Hat) I can see that the stories were true. As for why my village is involved in this war of yours it a bit complicated to explain, but to put it simply we share the same enemy for now, hence we're giving you a hand to take them out".

At hearing this Tenten could not help but blush slightly as Yoruichi praise of her, as Yoruichi was one of the most famous and said to be strongest Kunouchi's in the Shinobi world. Where only Kunoichi's like Tsunade or Uzumaki Kushina aka the Konoha no Shinku Ikari (Konoha's Crimson Fury) (14), could surpass her in reputation and power.

But before she could respond to Yoruichi's praise she suddenly heard a familiar voice crying out her name.

"Tenten-chan!"

When Tenten turned to look she saw her old Sensei Gai and her old team-mate Lee jumping over to her.

"Tenten-chan, are you ok!" asked a concerned Lee as he was worried for his old team-mates safely and wellbeing.

"I fine Lee, thanks to Yoruichi-dono" said Tenten not seeing the slight twitch on from Yoruichi's eyebrow, as she was unaware at how Yoruichi hated being called dono or sama.

Upon fulling realising who was with Tenten, Gai quickly shouted with joy, "Yosh, Yoruichi-san my youthful friend it is so good to see you" cried a happy Gai, where he quickly grabbed Yoruichi in a bone breaking Bear hug.

"It's good to see you too Gai…but if you don't mind could you let me go, before you break my back", spoke Yoruichi painfully as she felt her spine was about to break from Gai hug.

Fortunately for Yoruichi, Gai quickly let go and apologised to her, where she told him it was alright and that no harm was done.

Yoruichi was of course happy to see Gai as well, as despite Gai's hideous taste in clothes, his freaky personality, not to mention his freaky bushy eyebrows and the fact that he was a Konoha ninja. She did respect Gai greatly as both a Shinobi and a fighter and considered him a friend.

"Yosh! It is an honour to meant you Yoruichi-sama and thank you for helping my team-mate TenTen-chan", spoke Lee not noticing the twict one Yoruichi's face at being called sama.

"It was nothing, I was glad to help", said Yoruichi with a small smile, as she also could not help both wonder like many people who first meet Lee and Gai, if they were father and son. Although she know they weren't she could not help but wounder, due to the resemblance between them in both appearance and personality as she had heard all about Lee from The Raikage.

Yoruichi was of course quickly knocked out of her train of taught when Lee started to shout out excitedly, "Yosh! We also saw you and your youthful comrades' battle against the un-youthful Snakes that were destroying our village and how you destroyed them by yourselves. The flames of youth truly burn brightly in you, yosh!"

Upon hearing this Tenten quickly got Lee to tell her exactly what happened, where upon hearing this Tenten, was very down at missing Yoruichi's legendary Shunkō as she had heard rumours about it.

But soon enough the two Shinobi's and two Kunoichi's became serious and decided to head back into the fight.

At the centre right of the village fighting near the Academy Iruka and Anko were fighting back to back against some of the last remaining curse seal warriors that managed to survive up to this point.

But during the fight one of the last two curse seal warriors got a lucky hit on Iruka's side and slashed him with its tail. When Anko saw this at the corner of her eye she cried out to Iruka fearing for her husband's life, this of course distracted Anko from her fight with the other curse seal warrior that she had been fighting. Where the curse seal warrior took advantage of it and punched Anko in the side of her face with its fist, sending her flying several feet away into the outside wall of the Academy.

With both Iruka and Anko down both the cruse seal warriors pounced on them to finish them off, but before they could finish them off they were both intercepted by two unknown people.

The one who was attacking Iruka was intercepted by a young man with Black spiky hair and had metal piercings on his ears and above his left eye; he also had Dark Brown eyes. He wore a light Brown jacket and jeans and a blood Red shirt underneath his jacket he also had Black boots on and carried a heavy metal skull chain around his neck and a metal chain around his waist.

He then quickly took out his chain and used his Chakra to manipulate it into a long spear, where just as the curse seal warrior was about to pounce and kill the young man and Iruka. The young man swung his spear and cut the curse seal warrior in two, where it's bottom half fell to the ground in front of them, while the upper half flew over them and flew a few feet away behind them.

The second curse seal warrior that was attacking Anko was intercepted a young medium tall woman with long Dark Brown hair that fell below her waist and was tied at the end in a distinctive dolphin-tail split. She had a very attractive face that gave her an almost down to Earth look, where she didn't need any makeup to highlight her beauty, as she had what one would call the home spun allure, or what others might cheerfully referred to as 'the girl next door' look. She wore shorts with a Black ribbon on each leg instead of regular shorts, and she has a cape tied onto the shorts in a bow in the centre. She wore a sleeveless White shirt underneath a sleeveless black vest with a zipper to cover her impressive D-cup breasts; she also wore a pair of fighting leather gloves.

The woman quickly appeared to the left side of the curse seal warrior and delivered a powerful right hook, (with her right hand that was surrounded by Lightning), to the creature that sent it flying over a hundred feet away and through the outer and inner walls of the school. Showing that the girl possessed strength and power, which could easily rival Tsunade's and Sakura super human strength.

Which the creature dealt with the girl helped Anko back on her feet, while the man helped carry the wounded Iruka, where Anko quickly went over to see if he was ok.

Once Anko saw that Iruka was not in any serious danger both she and her husband introduced themselves and thanked the two.

"Thank for saving us there, as we would have been goners there if you hadn't saved us there", spoke Anko.

"Indeed, we own you both our lives, thank you", spoke the wounded Iruka.

"It was our pleasure", replied the girl.

"I guessing that you guys are from New Kumo" spoke Anko as she like everyone else had see the New Kumo airships arrive and attack the anti-Konoha coalition forces.

"Yea we are, my name is Tatara Hamrio, Clan head of the Tatara Clan and this is Takara or as we call her Takara no Raiken (Takara of the Thunder Fist)" spoke Hamrio.

"I can guess why" spoke Anko, "I'm guessing that you use some kind of Lightning Technique to enhance your strength to do things like what you did to that curse seal warrior".

Takara just nodded as there was no point in hiding it, and confirmed what Anko said,

"Will you to be alight if we leave you were you can make your own way to get medical help, as it be best if we get back to the battle and help out", spoke Hamrio.

"Yes we will be fine, thank you", replied Iruka.

"You should head to your villages hospital and get help there", suggested Takara.

"Can't, the hospital would be too dangerous as the Oto-nins were swarming in it not too long ago, besides the staff and everything was moved to the Hokage monument shelters, as the hospital was too exposed", spoke Anko.

"I don't believe that would be the case now, as our own forces should have control of it by now and it should be secured and our combat medics should be treating the wounded there now", spoke Takara.

"Right then, Thanks we head there now", replied Anko, before she and Iruka headed off there, while Takara and Hamrio went off to get back into the battle
