“What is your problem? Maybe it’s
because I was dead once or something, but I don’t remember being this
energetic.” I replied in a raspy voice.
“Come on!” He shouted as Ace walked
into the room.
“Is there a problem?” he asked.
“Samemaru won’t get up.” Kusaru
complained.
“Wow, I’m surprised you got him
awake this early.” Ace chuckled.
“Fine!” I said as I slowly sat up
and rubbed my eyes.
There was a knock at the door.
“I’ll get it.” Ace said as he
walked to the door, and opened.
“Zenshikou Ace, Inuzuka Kusaru,
Inuzuka Samemaru you are requested for a meeting at the Mizukage’s tower.” Kumo
said as he looked over the paper.
“You two are still working for
Haku?” Ace said as he looked over Kumo’s shoulder and saw Shiro standing behind
him.
“Yeah.” Shiro said as he kicked the
ground.
“So what does he want this time?”
Ace asked.
“I don’t know, he said it’s
urgent.” Kumo replied.
“Alright we’ll be there.” Ace
responded.
“Great, training this early is bad
enough, now we need to go meet with Haku, great.” I said as Ace told us of the
meeting.
“When is it?” Kusaru asked.
“Soon,” Ace said. “We should get
going.”
“I don’t feel like it.” I said in
protest.
“Fine, stay here while Kusaru and I
go on a crazy, adventure filled mission.” Ace said.
“Sounds good to me.” I replied.
“Oh, and the tax man should come by today, so
you mind paying when we are gone?” Ace asked.
“I can’t believe you tricked me
into coming with you!” I shouted as Ace told Haku how he got me to go to the
meeting.
“Don’t worry, it’s probably just a
check up on our missions.” Kusaru said as I sank into my chair.
“That’s what I’m worried about.” I
said as I sank deeper into my chair.
“Sorry, I’m late.” Sadge said as
she walked through the door, “Wow Samemaru! I’m later that I thought.”
“They dragged me here, if it were
up to me I’d be at home sleeping or something.” I replied.
“Alright, when Rikka told me what
happened at Auberdine, I looked over my documents and found a connection
between the scourge in Azeroth and the Dark Army that is slowly forming around
Oni-Gakure, and my sources tell me that Tekigou Tsugotsu is the leader of the Dark
Army, you guys, along with Kumo, Shiro,
Rikka, and Kanpan, will meet Kaji and Sabaku’s teams near the border of The
Land of Shadows and will proceed with Foxx from there.” Haku said as he looked
at the four of us.
“What about Searyb?” I asked.
“He’s on a separate mission if he
can he’ll join you on the front line.” Haku replied.
“Who is Kanpan?” Sadge asked as she
looked over the mission folder.
“He was rescued from the Cloud Village
So the eight of us started out
towards the border to the Land
of Shadows
Kumo, Shiro and Kanpan went ahead
to make sure the way was clear of any traps, pretty soon we saw the Land of Shadows
“We are going there?” Rikka asked
as she clutched her bow.
“Yup, looks like it.” Said Ace.
“So you’ve finally made it, you’re
the Kiri-Gakure ninjas I presume?” A voice said from the shadows.
“Yeah, who are you?” Kusaru asked.
A similar voice answered: “We work
for Foxx, I am Jade and this is my brother Jace.”
A wolf walked from the shadows and
then turned into a girl about twenty, followed by another wolf who also turned
into a twenty looking guy.
Ace leaned over and said: “ That’s
weird.”
I nodded.
“We need to meet Foxx soon, we
better start going.” Jade said as she and her brother started walking along the
border.
“Ok, we’ll split into two teams,
red team will be me, Ace, Samemaru and Kusaru.” Sadge said as we started
walking after the two wolves. “Blue Team will be Rikka, Kumo, Shino, and
Kanpan. Leave your COM on even if it’s at minimum volume, we need to stay in
contact, Blue Team go ahead make sure these guy are for real, Red Team will
stay with them until further notice.”
“Got it.” Rikka said as she started
running around the group followed by Shiro Kumo and Kanpan.
“Blue Team, this is Red One, I want
a COM link test, respond.” Sadge said over the little mic. Connected to her ear
piece.
“Blue One to Red One, the COM is fine, we’ll keep you up dated.”
Rikka said over the COM.
We kept walking for a little bit
then static washed over the COM system.
“Blue One to Red One, we have reached Foxx’s position, Sabaku’s and
Kaji’s groups are already here, we are waiting.” Rikka said over the COM.
“Got it.” Sadge replied. “Jade, my
friends have reached Foxx and everyone is waiting, I suggest we step it up a
bit.”
“When did she get so pro?” I asked
Ace.
“I have no idea.” He responded.
“Oh, I got an idea, Ace why don’t
you teleport me and Kusaru to the rendezvous.” I said just loud enough for
Kusaru to hear, he turned around.
“It’s Kusaru and I, not me and
Kusaru.” He said.
“Whatever.” I said. “So how about
it Ace?”
“Alright. Here it goes.” He said, I grabbed onto Kusaru’s jacket and
the three of us vanished.
“Red One to Blue One, is the rest of my team there?” Sadge asked
over the COM a few minutes after we teleported to the rendezvous.
“Yeah, they are.” Rikka responded.
“Ok we are almost there.” Sadge replied.
“So, how’s it going?” Sabaku asked.
“Not too good, I’m tired, I mean we
take on Denkouiki’s demon form, plus Denkouiki in his new human form on many
occasions, Anti-Various, The Covenant, and now a Dark Army, in what maybe three
months. Sometimes I think I’m just going to snap under the pressure.” I
replied.
“You got waken up early?”
“Yeah pretty much.”
“There they are.” Jayme said as
Jace and Jade appeared on the hill about 200 feet away.
“What took you so long?” Ace asked
Sadge as she walked up to him, then she punched him in the arm.
“Ow, that hurt.” He said, as he
rubbed his arm.
“Where are we headed?” Kusaru
asked.
Foxx looked at him strange, “You
look a little young to be here.” She said.
“Hey, I bet I can beat you!” he
shouted.
“Hey, I remember my temper.” I said
as Kusaru clenched his fists, I walked over to him and pulled him away from
Foxx so that he didn’t get hurt.
“Keep that squirt under close
watch, we don’t want to tell his parents he got lost on the way to the battle.”
Foxx said as she started to walk past the border.
Kusaru then kicked me in the shin
and started to run after Foxx.
“You’re going to die!” he shouted
as he pulled out a kunai and jumped in the air.
Foxx waved her hand and vines grew
from the ground and caught Kusaru mid-jump, and squeezed his arm ‘till he
dropped the kunai and then threw him to the floor.
“…and you, Naruto, never really
cared. You just wanted to prove to Sakura what a great Shinobi you are, now
look what you’ve done. You’ve caused the end of the world, and it’s all your
fault Naruto!” a voice shouted from the shadows.
“Who are you?” Naruto asked.
“You don’t know? Think,” the voice
said as a feint blue light appeared and an ear piercing sound started to emit
from the blue light. “you spent most your life trying to save me, but in the
end you killed me!” The light got closer, Naruto could make out a body, the
light was in the persons hand. “Now die Naruto!” the person got close enough to
make out a face even with the pitch black shadows surrounding them. “Chidori!”
Naruto felt a great pain in his chest.
He groaned: “S…Sauske.” Then there
was nothing but darkness.
Naruto woke up sweating, looked
around and saw a mirror start to form at the foot of his bed.
After the mirror finished forming,
Haku stepped out followed by Gaara.
“When we sent them out there I
didn’t know what they would be facing, now I know, even with Foxx’s squad they
are going to need backup.” Haku said.
“Sauske.” Naruto said.
Gaara nodded.
As we drew closer to the front
line, there was an over whelming stench.
“We are almost there.” Jace said as
he sniffed the air.
“How can you tell?” Ace asked.
“We are fighting and army of the
dead, that is the rotten stench filling the air each time we step closer the
scent gets stronger, and as far as I can tell we are not far away.”
“That’s great.” Ace said as he
looked over at me, and I was holding my nose and trying not to breathe., then
he looked at Kusaru who was doing the same.
“Oh yeah, he’s related to Kiba.”
Ace said as he realized that unless the stench went away neither Kusaru or I
would be good in battle.
“Searyb are you close to
finishing?” Haku asked over a private COM channel.
“I am close to finishing, the spark reactor, it’s to advanced in the big
machine, but I got the little ones going.” Searyb replied.
“Ok, how many of the smaller ones
are ready?” Haku asked.
“About
one hundred.” Searyb replied.
“Alright, I’m coming to get them.”
Haku said as he opened an Ice Mirror to Searyb’s lab.
“You gather everyone, and meet me
at the border.” Haku said right before he stepped through the mirror.
“Let’s go.” Naruto said.
Gaara nodded.
“I’m sensing a spike in energy
levels over this ridge.” Foxx said as
she stopped.
“Holy crap.” Kumo said as he saw
the massive army of undead shinobi, enemy shinobi, and Covenant stragglers.
“There’s got to be thousands of
them.” Shiro said as he over looked the evil army.
“What are those?” Kanpan asked as
three Covenant drop ships flew in and landed in an opening, the side hatches
opened and a bunch of creatures stepped out.
“Those are Covenant Drop Ships, but
the things coming out of them aren’t Covenant.”
“They are demons, all above a B
class.” Jayme said.
“I’m assuming that’s strong.” Sadge
said.
“The ranks are similar to the ranks
you Ninja take on, D is lowest, C is most common, B is pretty strong, A is about
the same level as Anti-Various, and S is the same as Denkouiki, most of them
there are S class.” Foxx explained.
“That is definitely bad.” I coughed
through my shirt.
“Where is everyone ?” Naruto asked
as only a handful of the ninja he requested showed up for the battle.
“They are all on missions, Lord
Hokage.” Sakura said.
“We’ve taken armies before, why
can’t we just go?” Kiba asked.
“I think we are all that’s needed.”
Hinata said as Gaara, Kankuro and Temari walked up behind Naruto.
“We took on the wave shinobi, why
can’t we take on these guys?” Kiba said.
“Your right, it’ll probably fine.”
Naruto said. “Let’s go then.”
The fifteen shinobi started out
towards the boarder.
“Keep working, I need that thing
finished when I come back.” Haku said as he left Searyb’s lab with a bag full
of communicators similar to the ones worn by the UNSC.
Naruto saw Haku waiting at the
border with a small duffel bag in his hand.
“When we get to the border it’ll
only be half an hour ‘till we reach the mountain, Shikamaru, we need a lay out
of the battle field.” Naruto said as they rapidly approached Haku.
“Well the mountain was split in
half years ago, in-between the two peaks it is ten miles, from the northern
base to the southern base it is thirty miles, mostly forest, but in the middle
of the two forests is a ten by ten open wasteland, and in the middle of the
wasteland is a smaller mountain, now I believe the enemy would be in that
wasteland.” Shikamaru explained.
“Sounds great!” Haku said as they
finally reached the border. “Now let’s go.”
“Tekigou!” Kaji shouted as he
tightened his hands into tight fists.
Tekigou, who was standing atop the
mountain in the middle of the wasteland, turned around.
I looked down into the army, they
looked like ants from the elevation we were at, then one of them suddenly
started to get bigger, one of the zombie ninjas jumped onto the side of the
mountain and propelled himself towards us.
He flew right past my face.
“Kedamono Sentou!” I shouted as I
turned and kicked him in the head, it spun around and he crashed onto the
floor.
“That was close.” Ace said.
“Yeah.” I said, then something
heavy hit me in the back, I fell to the floor and was being crushed by the
weight of the zombie who had thrown himself on the mountain. “Help!”
Rikka pulled out her bow and shot
him in the head two times, he stopped moving.
I pushed the body off of me, “What
the hell, didn’t I just kick his head around in a circle?” I asked.
“You sure did, looks like we have
more to deal with than we thought.” Ace said as Kaji jumped off the cliff .
“What the hell?” I shouted as he
plummeted down towards the massive army beneath us.
“Come on!” Sabaku shouted as he
made a slide out of the side of the mountain and everyone slid down the
mountain.
“Hinata check the left peak, Neji
check the right one.” Naruto commanded as they closed in on the mountain.
“They would have been smart to
start with an aerial attack.” Lee said as he caught up with Shikamaru.
“No, they would have been smart to
wait for back up with these odds.”
“The
left peak is empty.” Hinata said over the COM.
“Same
with the right one.” Neji said shortly after.
“They must’ve already started
fighting.” Kiba said.
Kaji hit the ground and sent a
massive body of flame into the army of zombies.
“Tekigou, I’m coming for you!” he
shouted.
“What’s his problem?” Sabaku asked.
“I have no clue.” I said as I
knocked another zombie off his feet.
“We need to force them back.” Foxx
shouted as the zombies poured in on our position.
“Got it!” Ace said as he
disappeared and a group of zombies flew into the air.
Sadge was throwing in zombies into
the air with her vines and tree minions.
“There are still too many of them!”
Kumo said as he shot a fire arrow and it went through five zombies.
“Gatsuuga!” Kiba shouted as two
tornadoes plowed through the zombies.
“Eight trigram; Two palm, four
palm, eight palm, sixteen palm, thirty two palm, sixty four palm!” Neji shouted
as he killed sixty four zombies.
“Mind body disturbance technique!” Ino
shouted as one of the zombies turned on the others and started killing his
allies.
Haku jumped behind me and handed me an ear
piece communicator.
Then went and gave the rest of our team
them.
“Talk over the COM only, I’m loading a map
of the area onto your view screens.” Shikamaru said as Choji inflated and ran
over ten zombies.
Temari kept a group of zombies
pinned down as Kankuro sent Karasu in there with a poison smoke bomb and his
poisoned blades.
Sand swallowed a group of zombies.
“We need to find a way to conserve
chakra.” Sakura said as she chopped a zombie in half and punched another’s
brains out in one hit.
Naruto sent out a squad of shadow
clones to combat the zombies and Lee kicked
zombies head off while Ten Ten stabbed one with her staff.
“Shino help!” Hinata shouted as a
wave of zombies charged towards her.
Shino sent his bugs flying and they
took care of most the charging zombies.
“There are still too many of them.”
Kusaru said over the COM.
Kaji finally calmed down and
started killing smart.
Then the ground started to shake
and four demons popped out of the ground and started to attack.
Plasma started to rain from the sky
and Jirobo came out of the crowd wielding a giant hammer.
He smashed the ground right in
front of Choji.
“We need to move back!” Rikka shouted as she sent three flaming
arrows into the crowd of zombies.
“Those stupid ninjas really think
they stand a chance,” Tekigou said as he watched the ongoing battle.
“They are foolish father,
especially Kaji.” Masurao replied.
“Denkouiki, tell your demons to
hold off, why should we lose lives when we can just lose the undead who can be
brought back easily.” Tekigou ordered.
Denkouiki hated being told what to
do, especially from a human.
He loosened his fist and said: “Yes
sir.”
“I’ll take care of it sir.”
Kimimaro said.
“The demons left, that’s usually
not good.” Foxx said as zombies filled the space that was previously taken by
the demons.
“We need to fall back!” Kusaru
said.
“No, keep fighting.” Naruto
ordered.
“Damn it!” Sadge shouted. “I’m
running low on chakra!”
“Here!” Ten Ten said as she threw a
sword to Sadge. “Use that.”
“Right.” Sadge replied as she cut a
zombie in half.
“Naruto, everyone is now under half
their full chakra level.” Shikamaru said as he looked at the biometer on the
small headset.
“Alert me when everyone is under
one third.” Naruto replied.
“Kusaru and Sadge already are.”
Shikamaru said.
“Right.” Naruto said. “Kusaru,
Sadge fall back to second line.”
“Got it.” Kusaru said as the two of
them moved back.
“Well done Kimimaro.” Denkouiki
said as he walked over to his companion.
Kimimaro nodded.
“They are doing better than
expected.” Tekigou said as he stood up.
“Should I tell them to hurry with
Sauske?” Mijikai asked.
“No, no they can take their time,
no matter how long they take those puny ninjas won’t make it here before he’s
back.” Tekigou said.
“Ace, Electric Wave!” I shouted as
I sent a tidal wave racing towards the enemy and Ace flew into the air and hit
the wave with lightning killing another twenty zombies.
Foxx killed a few zombies by
crushing them with a tree from the surrounding forest.
Bay hit twelve zombies with a tidal
wave and Jayme encased four of them in shadows ripping them in half.
Jace and Jade turned into wolves
and started shredding the zombies up with their razor sharp claws.
More plasma hailed us from the sky.
“ I’ll take care of it” Bay said as she burnt out the plasma with
rain.
“Cactus Blossom Jutsu!” Sabaku shouted as senbon and water rained
from the sky.
“Damn them!” Tekigou shouted.
“I’ll take care of it.” Masurao said.
“No, just resurrect the zombies.”
Tekigou said.
“Yes father.” He said as he walked
out of the room.
“We’ve almost got ‘em.” Lee said as he took out more zombies.
“Not so fast.” Masurao said as he
jumped onto a rock.
“You!” Kaji shouted as he saw his
brother.
“All you fallen warriors, return
from the grasps of hell!” He shouted, then all the dead zombies started to
raise.
Kaji jumped at his brother.
“Rasengan!” he shouted as he missed
by inches due to his brother’s sudden movement.
“Slow as usual brother.” Masurao
said as he kicked Kaji in the stomach and sent him flying back to the canyon
wall.
“Naruto we’ve got a problem.” Haku said as twenty demons walked through the
crowd of zombies.
“Those are all S class demons!”
Foxx said.
“Now would be a good time to fall
back!” Naruto shouted.
Tekigou who was watching the battle
from afar laughed at the shinobi’s failed attempts to save their land and
laughed. “You will all fail, then you will be part of my army!”
“We can’t take ‘em all!” Lee
shouted.
“Alright, now I need a power
source. Chakra? No it’ll take too big a toll on the users.”
Searyb said as he wrote down notes
in his note book.
“Maybe, I can reduce the power
needed by connecting this here, and then by taking out this wire it’ll need
seventy five percent less power.” Searyb said as he messed with wires in the
machine.
“I’ve got it!” he shouted as a
small amount of his chakra drained and the transdimensional teleporter turned
on and a map of the universe appeared.
“Now I need to help them.” He said
as he ran towards the door.
“Haku, I’m on my way!” Searyb said
over the COM.
“No, stay where you are it’s too
late.” Haku replied.
“You mean you already won?” Searyb
asked.
“I’m afraid not.” He said, then the
COM went dead.
“I only have a little bit of chakra
left.” I said as I cut down a zombie.
“We have to kill as many as we
can!” Naruto said as he killed another zombie.
Two arrows fell from the top of the
mountain, one exploded into a grey mist, the other one ignited the mist and
caught at least fifty zombies on fire, then a rope fell from the mountain.
“Grab on!” Someone at the two said,
Sadge and Kusaru went first because they were completely out of chakra, then
three more ropes came down.
When we all go to the top of the
mountain the guy threw four grenades down the mountain and killed more zombies.
“I’m Nerothos, a zombie hunter,
follow me I’ll take you to a safe house.” He said as he lead the way down the
mountain.
“If you ask me he could have been a
little sooner.” Ace said as he limped down the path next to me.
“Yeah, but at least he came.” I
replied.
“I have food and water at my base.
I also have weapons and beds.” Nerothos said.
“Good, next time we’ll need an attack plan.” Naruto
said as we walked off into the forest.
