Chapter 40
Naruto walks to the competitor’s booth where he reunites with Mito and Sakura.
“dude, that was sick!”, Mito says all pumped up, “never tough I would see a Hyuuga freeze like that”.
“the Hyuuga gentle fist is admittedly a really devastating technique”, Naruto says, pulling his smoking pope and taking a drag, “if it lands of course, the best course of action against an up and closer opponent is to deal with them from a distance”.
“that’s for sure”, Mito says, waiting for her match to be called, “say, if you had to bet. Who’s gonna win this thing?”.
“either you, Sakura or, if he’s lazy ass doesn’t forfeit, Shikamaru”, Naruto says.
“I would argue that last one, but he’s a Nara, if he has the chance to use his brain is game over”, Mito adds, “although, considering he’s chakra reserves, I think if he ends up in a battle of attraction then he’s as done as an all you can eat buffet after an Akimichi visit”.
Somewhere in the audience, at least a dozen or so Akimichi for some reason felt like someone had offended them.
“yup, that if his opponent manages to corner him into a battle of attrition to begin with”, Naruto says, “by the way, were’s Sakura?”.
“toilet break”, Mito says, opening a sly smile, “with Ino”.
“figures”, Naruto chuckles, “but seriously she shouldn’t be tiring herself before her match”.
“pfft, let them have their fun while they are still young”, Mito adds slumping on her seat, “kami knows how long they’ll be able to have it before duty calls”.
The fights come and go as expected until…
“and here we go”, Naruto says, noticing the falling feathers.
“genjutsu”, Sakura says, breaking herself out of it before she falls asleep, “I think I’ve read about this one”.
“nirvana’s temple technique”, Mito says, cracking her neck, “it’s an A-rank genjutsu that puts people to sleep”.
“oh, I’m totally learning that”, Sakura says rubbing her hands.
“smart move to keep the populace out of the way”, Naruto says, as two ninja wearing what looked like ski masks jump at them, “not so fast!”.
Both get vertically bisected mid-air, drenching the unconscious civilians bellow in blood and viscera.
“did you had to do that?!”, Mito says, whipping off a kidney that got stuck on her hair buns, “do you have any fucking idea how hard it is to take the smell of viscera from hair?”.
“as if you spend your own shampoo to do so”, Naruto says, blowing some smoke and looking as Kononha’s forces swiftly move to deal with the invasion, “seriously, I would be really pissed about how much of my shampoo you use if I hadn’t infinite money”.
“can we discuss hair care after the invasion is over?!”, Sakura asks, using her hair to shoot a hail of hair senbon and shishkebab three sand nin.
“meh, things look to be under control”, Naruto says, looking around and sensing a familiar snake.
At the same time, the middle of the arena explodes as a giant crazed tanuki appears and raves about the rampage he’s about to go.
“I’m gonna deal with that”, Mito says, pulling a kunai and three paper tags.
“I’m going to aid with evacuation”, Sakura says, using her hair as three extra pairs of hands to grab and crush a few more sound nin.
“and I’m going to skin a snake”, Naruto says, pulling a very omnious looking staff from his storage.
The staff a long redwood stick with a bronze pointy cap at the tip and crystal ball the size of a baseball filled with what looked like a swirling galaxy at the top held by a claw like bronze structure connected to the wood trough a round ringed sleeve filled with thin lines upon lines of runes that seemed to change and spin around like they were alive was a head or so taller than him.
“do we get some BBQ later?”, Naruto asks as six energy blasts shoot out of the staff’s gem and turn six attacking sound ninjas into very fine dust that’s carried by the breeze.
“nah, I’m more in the mood for some pasta”, Sakura says, “or maybe some seafood”.
“it has been a while since I’ve had lobster”, Naruto says hopping on the staff.
“can I bring Ino?”, Sakura asks with a sweet smile… which was disturbing considering she was crushing someone’s skull with her hair, “she would kill me if she found out I was eating lobster without her”.
“sure, bring your gf”, Naruto says as he flies away, “Now less talking and more massacring!”.
Much to the horror of… everybody, Sakura turns into a little pink haired murder typhoon carving a path of blood and gore through the ranks of the invading forces.
Mito joins the few Uzumaki dealing with the One-tails, using her chakra chains to help immobile it while she works won a seal.
As with Naruto…
“sup, need a hand?”, he asks, popping right next to Minato and Jiraiya who were fighting the edo tenseid first and second Hokage.
“Naruto!!”, Minato says, sweating profusely while using the flying thunder god; guiding thunder to send a fucking water dragon somewhere that isn’t his rib cage, “how did you…”.
“wood style: wooden spear!”, Hashirama exclaims, as rolls of sharp wood stakes sprout from underneath them, aiming at Naruto’s side.
“no u!”, Naruto says, as the stakes change direction and impale Hashirama.
The actual name of spell is counter, but when you have the Rune of Eternity, spell names are as useless a soft nail.
“well, well if it isn’t the boy that came back”, Orochimaru hisses, “you stood in my way once, I’ll make sure to deal with you for good now”.
“oh really?”, Naruto sasy, turning to the white snake, “you and what army?”.
Orochimaru was about to answer, but is cut by Naruto.
“and before you answer”, Naruto says ad the same small three eyes skull appears on his hand, it’s three eyes shining a purple light, “take a good look at your invasion”.
There were screams, civilians running in fear for their lives, shinobi engaged in fights to the death, grunts of pain and the roaring of a crazed tailed beast fighting against the forces trying to subdue him.
And then, the screams changed, the civilians where now screaming at the top of their lungs as the horrifying scenes of the invading shinobi turning feral and frothing at the mouth like wild beats turning on their heels and cannibalizing each other.
Biting and chewing once allies, shambling into hordes and washing over the streets, completely ignoring the civilians and the Konoha forces and leaving behind a trail of blood and gore as the unholy legion grows in number.
“you…”, Orochimaru seethes at the sight of Naruto, calmly smiling.
“oh, the greatness of necromancy”, Naruto says, the skull floating above his shoulder, “I’ve saw your forces camping outside of Kononha two ago and decided to do my civic duty for once, they’ve been dead ever since and hey, who am I to waste all those good corpses?”.
“preach it brother!!”, Tobirama’s exclaim.
Naruto then notices the disturbed look on Minato and Jiraiya’s face.
“what?”, Naruto asks before letting out an annoyed sigh, “oh, right, everybody thinks necromancy is evil until someone needs swats of cheap labor or a resurrection spell at two in the morning”.
Minato and Jiraiya turn to watch as the horde munches down all the invading forces, save for a few who surrender and then turns back to Naruto.
“just because I don’t mind killing everybody doesn’t mean I can’t see the value of a few hostages”, Naruto says shrugging.
Orochimaru in his fury, charges at Naruto, doing hand signs at the speed of light and spitting a wave of snakes with blades coming out of their mouths.
One tap…
One tap of his staff on the ground and a wave of an uncanny purple light like energy washes over the floor, atomizing the snakes.
“biding field of unholy martyrdom”, Naruto whispers and the gem of the staff shines in the same uncanny purple light.
And from above nine purple crosses of light descend upon the snake sannin, pinning him down as he lets out a screech of pain as every single iota of everything that is him, body, mind and soul experience excruciating pain.
Seeing their master pinned sown, Hashirama and Tobirama spring into action, trying to attack Naruto.
“resurrection”, Naruto snaps his fingers.
Both reanimated kages explode in light and when it diminishes, they were back to life.
“now, what to do with you”, Naruto says, looking Orochimaru and then looking at Minato and Jiraiya, “well, you are officially not my problem!”.
“aren’t you going to finish the job?”, Tobirama asks, narrowing his eyes in curiosity.
“nah, I have to let the Hokage do something once in while”, Naruto says, slapping a dozen or so seals on Orochimaru as the crosses vanish, “also…”.
With another tap of his staff all the reaming invading forces who have not yielded burst into flames, just as the One-tails was sealed back.
A purple wave of energy washes over the village, rebuilding it and healing the wounded wrapping up the invasion.
“now if you excuse me”, Naruto says, hopping on his staff as the four man in the roof try to pull their jaws from the floor, “I have a lobster dinner to attend, bye!”.
He vanish in a flash of light.
