---------------------
Whoosh… whoosh…
The group quickly flickers towards the Hachou village.
"My village!"
The elderly village chief anxiously stares at the smoke and fire pouring out in the distance.
"Village chief! Don't lose hope yet. We can still make it in time and protect the villagers." Kakashi tries to calm him down.
"Everything will be fine!" Shiseru supports the village chief.
"I hope so! I don't want the innocent villagers to suffer because we sheltered the residents of the Tonika village."
"Let's go!"
Naruto increases his speed and dashes away in the distance.
"This guy! Why is he so reckless?!" Neji shakes his head.
"Don't worry, I will follow after him." Lee thumbs up at Neji and chases after Naruto.
Whoosh…
The group quickly follows Naruto and Lee.
Swoosh…
Naruto arrives at the entrance of the Hachou village. He flickers through the village and stands on a pole in the center of the village to get a clear picture of the village.
"Who is attacking such a peaceful village?" He looks around for the culprit.
BOOM…
Naruto hears a gigantic explosion in the distance. Smoke and fire pour out as a house is set on fire with a fire jutsu.
"Found them!"
Naruto spots a group of shinobis wreaking havoc through the village. He flickers towards the group of shinobis.
Swish… Swish…
Naruto throws a pair of shurikens and makes some hand signs.
"Shuriken Shadow clone Jutsu"
Fwish… Fwish…
The shuriken replicates into a multitude of shurikens and attacks the group of shinobis.
Clang… clang…
The enemy shinobis turn around and deflect the shurikens.
"Huh?! What?!"
Naruto is shocked to see the enemy shinobis. There is a multitude of shinobis from various nations among the group, varying from leaf, cloud, sand, rock, mist, grass, and various other smaller nations.
"Hey, you! Why are you attacking this small village?"
Naruto questions them.
HMM…
The group of shinobis has dark grey sclerae and there are some cracks across their skins.
"Answer me?!" Naruto yells at them to get their attention.
Argh…
The group of shinobis turns towards Naruto.
Swish… swish…
They take out shurikens and kunais from their holster and attack Naruto.
"What's the meaning of this?" Naruto raises his guard.
He crosses his fingers.
"Shadow clone Jutsu"
Naruto makes a few shadow clones and deflects their attack.
Crack… crack…
The shadow clones crack their knuckles and lunge towards the hostile shinobis.
"Beat them up first and question them later!"
BOOM… BOOM…
Naruto and his clones engage in a fierce battle with the enemies.
"You are still the same knucklehead even after all those years?"
A tall man in a black robe with red lining creeps behind Naruto.
Whoosh…
The real Naruto swiftly performs a reverse roundhouse kick to attack the enemy behind him.
"Now! Now! It has been a while, and this is how you greet your old 'Friend'?"
Whoosh…
The cloaked figure jumps back and avoids Naruto's attack.
"You?! Who are you?!"
Naruto cluelessly stares at the cloaked figure.
Whoosh…
Lee catches up to Naruto and stands alongside him.
"Fear not Naruto! Konoha's beautiful Green Wild beast has come to your aid."
Lee takes a taijutsu stance.
"Haha! Another old friend is here!"
The cloaked figure chuckles.
"Who are you?!" Lee has a serious expression on his face.
"Me?!"
The cloaked figure slightly lowers his hood to reveal a part of his face.
He has long white unkempt hair lying on his shoulders. A pair of spectacles rest against the bridge of his nose. His eyes have snake-like pupils and the majority of his facial skin is pale-white and there are some snake-like scales below his eyelashes.
"Kabuto?!"
Lee is shocked to see Kabuto's appearance.
"Wait, Kabuto?!"
Naruto points towards Kabuto with a shocked expression.
"He is that Kabuto from three years ago! The one in the chunnin exam!"
HAHA… Ahaha…
Kabuto laughs hysterically at Naruto's antics.
"You sure haven't changed in these three years!"
"Hmph… but you sure have changed a lot!"
Naruto points towards the snake-like appearance of Kabuto.
"You are way creepier than before!"
Naruto shakes his head in disgust.
"Haha… this is the price I have to pay for power! Once I have enough strength, I will fulfill what Orochimaru-sama failed to do. I will prevail where he failed. This way I will prove my worth to Orochimaru-sama!"
Kabuto has a frantic expression on his face.
"Enough chit-chat! Let's take him down!"
Swish…
Naruto draws a kunai from his holster and dashes towards Kabuto.
Whoosh…
Lee closely follows behind him. They flank Kabuto from both sides and perform a roundhouse kick to knock him out.
Swish… Swish…
Kabuto makes some hand signs and claps his hand.
Clamp…
A pair of wooden coffins rise from the ground.
Bang…
The wooden coffins receive their kick and rattles from impact.
Whoosh…
Kabuto jumps back and avoids the attack.
"You lot sure are impatient!"
Fwoosh…
A shadow clone of Naruto jumps out of the ground. The clone has a Rasengan in its hands as it slams it towards Kabuto.
"What?!"
Kabuto is shocked to see the surprise attack.
Swoosh…
He twists his snake-like body at an unnatural angle and barely dodges the attack.
BOOM…
The Rasengan slams into the ground and creates a giant crater.
Tch…
"I almost got him!" Naruto clicks his tongue in dismay.
Phew…
Kabuto heaves a sigh of relief as he warily stares at Naruto.
'That was a close call! I am afraid, if not for my heightened senses and the snake-like body, I would have taken the hit! This kid is scarier than before!'
Slither…
A giant white snake slither towards him.
Spat…
The white snake spats out a pair of transparent rods of varying sizes.
"I have got what I came for! So, I will be taking my leave; meanwhile, you two can entertain these two people!"
Whoosh…
Kabuto submerges into the ground and disappears from their sight.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Kakashi and the rest of the group arrive beside Naruto and Lee.
"Was that Kabuto?"
Neji and Sasuke ask at the same time.
Mm…
Naruto and Lee nod their head.
"Reanimation Jutsu!"
Kakashi notices the grey sclerae and the cracks on the hostile enemies.
"Reanimation?!"
The group of Konoha 12 has confused expressions on their faces.
"It's a form of forbidden summoning jutsu, where the user of the jutsu uses a living body as a vessel to summon the soul of a deceased person. The user then controls the reincarnated vessel to do his bidding."
Sasuke calmly explains the details of the technique.
"Hey! How did you know?"
Naruto questions Sasuke.
"I read it in the scrolls Nii-san gave us! You should pay more attention to studying next time!" He chides Naruto.
"Hmph… I don't like reading stuff. I would rather use my Rasengan to blast them away!"
Swirl…
Naruto prepares a Rasengan in his hand to attack the figure in the coffin.
Creak… Bang…
The lid of the coffin slams on the ground as a footstep out.
"Keep watch! Don't attack blindly!"
Kakashi warns the rest of the group.
HAAAH…
Naruto ignores Kakashi's warning and jumps at the coffin with a Rasengan in his hand.
"Eat this!"
He slams the Rasengan on top of the coffin.
BOOM…
The Rasengan slams into the body of the Edo and raises a storm of dust and debris.
"AH! This feeling! This jutsu! It has been a while since I last felt something like this!"
A muscular figure slowly walks out of the coffin.
Crack… crack…
He cracks his neck and stares at the Konoha group.
"He… He is…"
The expression of Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai turns ugly.
"This person is dangerous! Extremely dangerous!"
Neji warily stares at the new enemy with his Byakugan.
