Novacane for the pain

I've had this chapter written for a while but didn't really want to post as I didn't like it. I've done an edit and re-wrote some of it so i'm putting it up. Please comment, etc. If I do continue this, updates won't be too often as I have two other stories going and other stuff on my plate. This is a crossover, between DBZ and Naruto and I hope you enjoy it.


Chapter 1: End of the World?

The sky turned black as the battle continued above a deserted city. Each clash between the warriors produced shockwaves that shattered glass in the buildings below. Occasionally, there was a flash of lightning and the roar of thunder, which added to the drama. Suddenly, one of the fighters was knocked down, and sent crashing into the ground below.

“Damn it” Goku gasped, as he struggled to his feat. “He’s just too strong for us to handle. What can we do against a power like this?”

Another fighter landed next to where Goku was standing and he soon got up clutching his arm.

“The boys have fused,” he said, with a hint of despair in his voice. “Hopefully they can keep him occupied for a while. How long until we can fuse again, Kakarot?”

“At least 20 minutes” Goku sighed, cursing the bad luck that had befallen them. “If only we knew that he was going to show up just after we finished fighting that android. We never would have fused if we knew what was coming.”

“That damn wizard” Vegeta spat, while watching his son do battle above him. “He tricked us and we fell for it like a couple of inexperienced children. At least he got his just reward, but what’s the plan now? Gotenks can’t hold him off for 20 minutes.”

Goku considered the options, but he couldn’t think of anything that would work at this point. Gohan, Gotenks and Piccolo were all fighting this enemy and were getting nowhere. He was toying with them now and they knew it. Goku continued to watch the fight above when he realized that he was shaking. He had never feared an enemy this much as they had never been so overwhelmed.

Then, there was a green flash in the sky above and three more figures were sent flying down towards the ground. Gotenks, Gohan and Piccolo regrouped with Goku and Vegeta to think of a plan. However, they didn’t have any time to think as their enemy bellowed from the sky.

“Kakarot!” he screamed, “Get back here so I can kill you and your children. I want to crush you all in my hands and watch you die.” He laughed manically after he had finished speaking, enjoying every second of it.

“We’ve only got one option” Goku said, not overly confident in what he was about to say. “We combine our attacks into one and aim it straight for him. We’re all exhausted and that’s the most power we can produce. Hopefully, he’ll underestimate us and we can break through.”

Vegeta wasn’t enthusiastic about this idea and made his displeasure known.

“You really think Broly is going to fall for that?” Vegeta snapped, “don’t forget Kakarot, he’s been defeated using that plan once before. He may not be the smartest warrior I’ve ever faced but he can’t be that foolish.”

“It doesn’t matter” Piccolo yelled, making his voice heard. “Goku is right, it is the only chance we have. You two can’t fuse for another 15 minutes that we don’t have to spare. The chances this will work may be slim, but it’s better than no chance at all.”

“We agree” Gohan and Gotenks said in unison, determined to overrule Vegeta, who sighed as he realized that this plan was going ahead no matter what he said.

“Alright” he said, giving up his one-man protest. “Let’s do it then.”

All 5 of them floated up into the sky and charged up. Screams of pain filled the air as they were surrounded by golden light. Lightning that emanated from their bodies clashed with the storm in the air, giving off an aura of power. Finally, they all took their stances and prepared for their last stand.

“Kame”

“Final”

“Special Beam”

“HA!”

“FLASH!”

“CANNON!”

All 5 attacks were sent zooming towards their target, who just laughed.

“You think you can win here?” Broly said mockingly, as he sent a green sphere towards them. Without too much effort, he held the attack at bay and laughed once more.

“Alright” Goku yelled his voice clearly strained. “No holding back for the sake of the planet. Whatever we do can be repaired with the Dragon Balls. Hit him with your full power or we will lose everything!”

There was a sudden burst of power that stunned the great Saiyan. His attack was extinguished and the combined beam was sent into him. He screamed in pain as the blinding light consumed him. After they had finished, the tired fighters stayed floating, hoping they had succeeded.

“Is he dead?” Gohan asked, hoping to hear good news. They stared at the mass of smoke, waiting for it to clear. When it finally did, their hearts sunk. The hulking great Saiyan was wounded, but he was not dead. He was holding his stomach, with blood streaming from the hole that had emerged there.

“One more time” Goku said, his confidence returning when he saw the state the Legendary Super Saiyan was in. “If we can hit him with what ever we have left, he’s going to die.”

Just as the rest of the group voiced their approval, Broly interrupted with a low laugh.

“I’m going to die Kakarot, you’re right. But, I’m going to be taking you with me!”

Broly yelled as a green orb of ki surrounded him. He continued to power up as the orb expanded, getting slowly bigger.

“He’s going to blow himself up!” Piccolo shouted, shocking the others. “Attack now, we have to stop him!”

The others attacked, but it was no good. The ki attacks just made the orb grow quicker and didn’t affect Broly at all. With no hope left, Goku came to an inevitable conclusion.

‘We can’t stop him” Goku admitted, exasperated. “He’s going to destroy himself and this whole planet. I can’t touch him, so I can’t use Instant Transmission to get him out of here. What do we do now?”

They all stood there for a second, accepting their demise. Then Vegeta turned to his comrades.

“We can’t save ourselves” he said, “but we can still save this planet and at least some of it’s people. We all have a little ki left. If we can put up a barrier with everything we have left, then maybe we can just about save the planet.”

“Ve-, Vegeta” Goku stammered, stunned at what he had just heard. “I can’t believe you care so much.”

“Shut up Kakarot” Vegeta snapped, looking slightly embarrassed. “This isn’t the time for emotional speeches either. If we can keep this planet from being destroyed and if we can keep the young Namek alive, then everyone can be brought back. So, come on let’s get to it.”

The 5 warriors spread out around the planet and used their ki to create a shield. However, because of the ki they had already wasted, they could all tell that it might not be enough.

“All we can do now is hope,” Gohan said to himself, as he thought of the wife and daughter that he had lost. He promised himself that the Dragon Balls would bring them back, and he had to make sure that this shield held so that he could keep that promise.
“Dende” Piccolo said, sending his thoughts out to the terrified Namek on top of the Lookout.

“Yes, Piccolo?” Dende responded sounding terrified.

“It’s up to you now” Piccolo responded, trying to say everything quickly. “Find the Dragon Balls once we’ve gone and bring everyone back. Good luck.”

Eventually, the green sphere exploded, the destructive power spreading throughout the earth. The 5 heroes screamed in pain as they withstood the attack and willed their shield to hold. The green light engulfed everything and the last thing any of them saw was the loved ones they hoped to save.

Their sacrifice was not in vain. The shield held and the earth survived. However, it was not without sacrifice. The earth’s population was reduced to a relative handful and the earth’s surface was scarred. Society was forced to begin again, as the survivors tried to heal the wounded planet. Dende and his faithful assistant, Mr.Popo, spent the next millennium scouring the planet for the Dragon Balls, but they were never found. The earth was built again, but it was not the same as it was before. Earthlings gained different abilities and lived in a simpler time. Modern cities were replaced with humble villages. World Rulers gave way to Feudal Lords and the time of the Shinobi began. Dende eventually abandoned his search as the earth forgot the events of the past. However, that would not be the case for much longer.

Oh my god, that was genius. I was waiting for the part it would have the Naruto cross-over, and the ending was brilliant. Please continue. Just a little sad though.

Yeah, it was pretty good. Very interesting. It made me proud to see Vegeta initiating the sacrifice, but sad at the same time. What a warrior. Glad you didn't mess up any characters here.

Can't Popo find the DB's real easily? Cause on Namek he found them fairly quickly in order to wish everyone to Earth. Or couldnt Dende just make more or something? I liked it though especially the ending.

I'm pretty sure it was implied that Broly may have destroyed some of the Dragonballs in trying to destroy Earth. Or maybe I have to reread it? I don't know.

I didn't forget about that and I do have a reason why they can't find them or make more (i'm not sure how good it is or how well it fits in with canon though).

Thanks for the comments, i'm planning out the next few chapters so i'll probably keep going with it.

Little bit of a Naruto based chapter, but there is some Dragon Ball at the end so don't let it put you off :p Also, if any non-Naruto fans are reading and you want anything explained, just leave a comment and i'll do my best to explain it. I don't think there would be much in this chapter, but in some of the later one's it might get a little confusing if you don't follow it.

Chapter 2: Strange Feelings

Naruto picked himself off the ground and stared back at his enemy. He was in the midst of a fierce battle in the middle of an open field and he was struggling. Each breath took a lot of effort and he could feel pain in almost every part of his body. However, he wasn’t going to give up. He never gave up because that was his ninja way. Naruto then summoned a clone and held out his hand. In no time, there was an orb of blue chakra in his hand and Naruto ran towards his enemy. He pulled his arm back and prepared for the impact.

“Rasengan!” he cried, just as his opponent prepared to dodge. Although, this time Naruto was prepared for the movement and he altered his run, which allowed his to thrust the attack into his opponent’s chest. This sent the man with the long, grey hair flying into the tree, where he lay defeated.

“Pervy Sage” Naruto gasped, as he stood in awe of his accomplishment. “I did it.”

“Well done Naruto” Jiraiya said, as he stepped out from behind the tree. The man who lay in front of the tree disappeared in a cloud of white smoke. “Who would have thought that you could beat my Shadow Clone? Although, you’ve got a long way to go to beating me.”

Jiraiya couldn’t resist the little dig at the end. In truth, he was proud of his student and the progress that he had made. Of course, this was a necessary power gain as Naruto was in great danger. The criminal organization known as The Akatsuki were after him and Naruto had to be able to defend himself. Although, that didn’t seem to be Naruto’s main concern, as he seemed more determined to rescue his friend, Sasuke Uchiha, than to protect himself.

“Well, I guess this is it” Jiraiya said, “It’s our last training session together. Tomorrow we’ll be back in the Hidden Leaf Village and you’ll be on a team again.”

“I can’t believe it’s finally over” Naruto replied, sounding slightly upset. “I mean, I want to get back to the village, but it’s been fun hanging out with you for the past 3 years Pervy Sage. I guess it was all worth it in the end.”

Jiraiya smiled as he listened to Naruto’s words, before leading his student back towards the hotel they were staying at in town.

“Yeah, it’s been a good time kid, although I do have one regret” Jiraiya said, looking to draw a reaction from his student.

“What’s that?” Naruto asked innocently, not realizing the sarcasm in his teacher’s voice.

“I wasn’t able to get you to appreciate my great literature!”

Naruto and Jiraiya both laughed at this and continued joking around as they reached the town. As Jiraiya walked, it dawned on him that this would be the last time he would have someone for company as he walked around a strange place. In his future intelligence gathering missions, he knew he’d miss the companionship. However, as they reached their hotel room, Jiraiya stopped in his tracks.

“What the hell is that?” he thought, as a gut wrenching feeling came over him.

“What are you talking about?” Naruto inquired, a little worried about his teacher’s strange behavior.

That chakra, Jiraiya thought, that’s huge. I’m no sensory type, but even I can feel that. Where is it coming from and, more importantly, who’s controlling it. The Akatsuki? Orochimaru? Another village? Whoever it is, it’s bad news for us. I’ll have to tell Tsunade as soon as I can.

“It’s nothing for you to worry about” Jiraiya said sternly, which let Naruto know he shouldn’t ask any more questions. “You go in the room, while I just send a message to Tsunade, so that she knows to expect us tomorrow.”

Naruto did as he was told, while Jiraiya summoned one of his toads and explained the situation. After it was done, he sent the small animal away to relay the information to the Hidden Leaf Village. He knew that, from now on, it was a whole different game.

Deep underground, another young Shinobi was also undergoing intense training. The boy with spiky black hair and blood red eyes found himself surrounded by a large group of masked and nameless ninja. Despite their overwhelming advantage in numbers, the masked men all appeared to be very nervous. In contrast, the boy was calm and collected. He simply reached his hand back to his sword and withdrew it slightly, before moving quickly than the eye could see. Instantly, the masked shinobi began to fall one by one. This boy’s master, with his long black and hair and pale skin, stood on a balcony above the room and watched as the events unfolded.

Incredible he thought, as he listened to the cries of pain. They always called me a genius as a child, but he is something else. Of course, he won’t be able to grow much further as his body will soon be mine.

As the boy finished, his master noticed something peculiar that annoyed him.

“Sasuke” he hissed, “You didn’t kill any of them. Why is this? You’ll have to be much more ruthless if you hope to kill Itachi.”

The boy, Sasuke, glared back up at his teacher with utter contempt. Unlike Naruto, Sasuke felt absolutely no connection to his Sensei and saw him as nothing more than a path to power.

“The only person I intend to kill, Orochimaru, is Itachi” Sasuke replied, with a tone that portrayed his true feelings. “If that’s all, then-“

Sasuke was cut off as he felt a sudden surge of chakra. He pondered what it was for a moment, before Orochimaru spoke again.

“That’s very interesting” Orochimaru mused, a hint of delight in his voice. “I wonder what that could be. I guess we’ll have to find out, eh Sasuke?”

Sasuke had already begun to leave as Orochimaru spoke, his back now facing his master.

“You do what you want, I couldn’t care less” Sasuke said, trying to sound convincing.


High above the surface of the planet, on top of a large lookout that floated in the sky, an old and wrinkled Namekian was studying the world below. He too had just felt the disturbing energy that was nearing the planet, and he was incredibly concerned. Compared to the terrors of the past, they weren’t that powerful. However, he knew that their power outstripped the current generation of warriors and their motive for coming to the planet was also a concern.

“Mr. Popo” Dende croaked, as he called for his faithful assistant. “Did you just feel that?”

“Yes Dende” Mr. Popo replied, mirroring his masters concern. “Whoever it is, it feels like trouble. What do we do?”

Dende pondered for a moment as he considered the few options that lay before him. Whichever way he chose, there was an element of risk but desperate times called for desperate measures.

“I think it’s time we revealed ourselves to the Shinobi” Dende said, gripping his wooden staff tightly as he spoke.

“Are you sure that’s wise?” Mr. Popo asked, “We’ve gone over this many times before and thought it wouldn’t be necessary. “

“That’s true, but the situation has changed” Dende replied, “We now have to deal with an invading force from another planet once again and they must be warned. Also, I believe they may have better luck in finding the Dragon Balls.”

“Why would you say that?” Mr. Popo asked, the caution in his voice obvious.

“Even though they are not quite as strong as the warriors we knew in the past, they make up for it with their ingenuity and special techniques. We have to believe in them now.”

Mr. Popo nodded his heads at Dende’s wise words and found that he agreed with the old Namekian.

“Now, Mr. Popo you will have to be the one that goes to see the world leaders down there. I think that I’m a little too old to be travelling now. It’s all I can do to stand up anymore. “

Mr. Popo nodded and prepared to leave. It was now clear that the world’s time of peace was coming to an end.

Chapter 3: Plan to Find the Dragon Balls

There was tension, and fear, in the air as Jiraiya and Tsunade sat in the Hokage’s office. They had shared a bottle of sake, but it did little to raise their spirits. Whoever, or whatever, it was that had such an astounding amount of chakra, it was a huge problem.

“The real scary thing is that I haven’t heard anything about this” Jiraiya said, as he stared out of the window. “My information network is probably the best in the world, yet there was no mention of any village’s creating a weapon, or any abnormally strong ninja. Which means, there’s probably only one place this is coming from. The Akatsuki.”

Tsunade clenched her fist so hard that it bled. They’d been preparing for the Akatsuki’s attack for the last three years but they didn’t expect to be facing anything on the magnitude of the power they felt. How were they supposed to fight something like that?

“I’m going to have to resort to some more aggressive methods to get some Intel on this” Jiraiya said, as he downed the last of his glass. “There are some leads that I heard of that might possibly lead me to the Akatsuki leader, but I wasn’t sure that I could trust them so I didn’t follow up on them.”

“Do what you think you have to” Tsunade replied, while she simply stared at her now empty glass. “Just come back here before you do anything that could get you killed.”

Jiraiya laughed heartily as he put his glass down and started towards the door, waving as he went. Just before he could leave, a voice called out from outside the window.

“There’s no need to do that. I can tell you what that strange feeling is.”

Jiraiya and Tsunade were stunned as they quickly turned around to see who this intruder was. Just outside the window, floating in the air was a small man with jet-black skin. He had bright white eyes and deep red lips and wore a white turban and a vest. Neither of the two Sannin had ever seen anything like it. Was he, or it, even human?

“Who are you?” Tsunade demanded, as she suddenly raised her guard. She’d had a stressful last few days and she was up for a fight.

“My name is Mr. Popo” Mr. Popo replied. He spoke in a sophisticated manner that seemed to complement his unique appearance. “I have been sent here by the Guardian of the Earth to warn you about the impending attack.”

There was a moment of silence as Jiraiya and Tsunade took it all in. Guardian of the Earth? Impending attack? What does it all mean?

“Wait a minute” Jiraiya said, before Mr. Popo could go any further. “I’ve heard about you before. There’s a story about the Guardian of the Earth and his assistant that’s told by the toad elders at Mount Myoboku. I always thought it was some kind of legend and I never really believed it. There’s something about you rebuilding the planet in those stories, but I don’t remember exactly.”

“Ah yes” Mr. Popo said, as he remembered the strange creatures that appeared over a millennia ago, when the planet began to heal itself. Those funny little toads kept him and Dende entertained during those long and harrowing years. He was honestly surprised that they’d passed down stories of him and Dende though. “Well, I’ll explain the story to you then, it may make the next few minutes easier after that.”

Mr. Popo spent the next ten minutes explaining all about the past and how close the earth came to annihilation. He told them of how they spent years scouring the planet for the Dragon Balls, but that they remained elusive. After all of that, Mr. Popo came to the most urgent point.

“There’s a force on its way” he said, “from somewhere in space. There collective power is greater than anything on this planet. Judging by the speed they seem to be travelling, and the distance we think they are currently, they should land here in about 5 days.”

“5 days?” Tsunade gasped, as she raised her hand to her chest. “If they are as strong as you say, what good will five days do?”

“Hopefully” Mr. Popo began, “it will be enough time for us to gather the Dragon Balls.”

Jiraiya and Tsunade stared skeptically at the genie, wondering if he’d even been listening to his own story.

“You searched for centuries!” Tsunade said, as she lost her composure. “How are we supposed to find all seven of them in just five days?”

Mr. Popo smiled, although he hadn’t done anything but smile since he’d got there.

“Yes, but we think the reason we never found them is that they are buried deep underground” he said, “and we didn’t want to destroy the planet we were trying to save to try to find them. However, you have the advantage of a certain ability that we didn’t possess.”

“What would that be?” Jiraiya asked, incredibly curious about what ability they could have that the great Guardian of the Earth didn’t.

“The Byakugan” Popo replied simply, as if the answer was obvious. “It can see through the earth and we’ll know exactly where to look. If we move fast enough, we might be able to gather them all.”

Jiraiya seemed impressed. It looked like Mr. Popo had it all figured out.

“Alright, but I think we should have a meeting of the Kage” Jiraiya said, “Because they need to know about this. Also, in the event that this enemy gets here before we can gather the Dragon Balls, we’ll be better suited for a battle if we work as a cohesive unit.”

“Indeed, I was about to go to the other villages actually” Mr. Popo replied. “One of you should probably gather the Hyuga clan and explain the situation, while I gather the other world leaders.”

As Jiraiya was about to go do exactly that, Tsunade slammed her fist into the desk, one of her signature ways to get attention.

“What are these Dragon Balls going to do anyway!” she shouted, “It’s not like we can use them to kill these invaders.”

“No” Mr. Popo said, “but they can resurrect the people that can.”

With that, Mr. Popo sped off on his flying carpet at speeds that Jiraiya and Tsunade couldn’t even follow. Impressed with the display, the two of them walked out of the room, acknowledging the ANBU stationed outside the door as they went.

“We best speak to Hiashi first before we proceed” Jiraiya said, as they made their way towards the Hyuga clan’s compound. After they had left the building, one of the ANBU fell to the floor, but the other didn’t seem to pay any attention.

“Lord Orochimaru will be happy to hear about this,” he said, before heading out of the nearest window.



“Kamehameha!”

A man with black hair and wearing an orange gi, fired blue beam of ki from the sky and straight towards the smaller man stood on the ground. He just about managed to dodge the deadly beam, but he then fired another back at the other man.

“Galick Gun!” he cried, as a purple beam of ki similar to the first attack was sent towards his opponent. This was also avoided and the two men then flew towards each other, to settle the battle with fists. Their clash sent reverberations through the air and that, combined with the occasional crash into a building, soon destroyed most of the area they were fighting in.

“Goku! Vegeta!” King Kai shouted, not at all surprised by what was happening. “Can you please stop that? We’ve already told you to take it easy when you fight, we don’t want this play to be completely destroyed.”

The battle stopped for a moment as the two Saiyans stared down at the angry ma below them.

“Holding back in a battle isn’t what Saiyans were made for” Vegeta scoffed, as he folded his arms. “It’s not in our nature to be soft, even if Kakarot doesn’t quite conform to that particular trait.”

“I’d rather be soft than heartless” Goku teased, as he flew away from Vegeta in mock fear. Vegeta rolled his eyes, before going to check on a rather close match between Goten and Trunks. They had spent the last thousand or so years constantly training and getting stronger. Occasionally, the lack of any serious battle took its toll but the group seemed to generally enjoy being dead, as crazy as it sounds. Although, the next couple of minutes were about to change that.

“What?” King Kai cried, as he stood on the edge of the planet. “Oh no, I can’t believe this is happening.”

“What is it?” Goku asked, suddenly concerned.

“There’s a great force heading towards the earth” King Kai replied, as his entire body shook. “They can’t possibly stop that.”

“What can we do?” Goku asked, desperate to help.

“All we can do is wait, and hope they get these Dragon Balls in time” was the reply, as he then went on to explain the entire situation that was unfolding in the mortal world.

Sorry about the lack of Dragonball, but I don't want to rush things and I can't find a way to write them in properly yet. Don't worry though, they'll be around soon enough ;)

Chapter 4: Preparations for War

“This is ridiculous!” the Raikage, Ay, yelled, banging his fist on the table. “How do we know we can trust the Hidden Leaf Village with these mythical objects?”

A meeting of the Kage was being held on the Lookout, a place unlike anything the world leaders had ever seen before. Despite the amazing setting, the usual problems still occurred.

“I’m not comfortable with this arrangement either,” the Tsuchikage, Onoki, agreed. “What we’re doing is essentially giving a future enemy an unbeatable weapon, which isn’t favourable for us.”

“We’re not going to use them as a weapon” Jiraiya responded angrily. He hated political meetings because they ended up in arguments like this one. “We need those Dragon Balls so that we can save our planet! You’ve surely felt the power of that chakra, do you think we have anyone that can fight that?”

“He’s right” the Kazekage, who was determined to not be ignored, spoke up. “We have to put any rivalries behind us for the sake of this world. Now is the time for co-operation not petty arguments and power struggles.”

“Well said” the Mizukage said, “we can discuss these matters after the current problem has been dealt with.”

Despite being outnumbered, the Raikage and Tsuchikage didn’t relent and remained visibly upset. Tsunade sighed and shook her head at the immaturity of the two village leaders.

“Alright” she began, “how about this? We send multiple teams comprised of Shinobi from each village to search for the Dragon Balls. That way, one nation doesn’t have the monopoly over them.”

“That seems fair,” the Raikage reluctantly agreed and the Tsuchikage quickly followed suit.

“Great” Mr Popo said, as he arrived at the meeting while carrying refreshments. “I’m glad to see that you’re all getting along. The next thing that needs to be discussed is your joint army.”

“Hold on” Onoki said, “Where is this Guardian of the Earth? I thought we would be meeting with him today.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible” Mr Popo replied, “he’s very ill at the moment so I will be here in his stead. Now, we need to discuss this army.”

“A joint army?” the Raikage asked, looking to cause more trouble. “Why would we need one of those? I thought these Dragon Balls would resurrect fighters for us?”

“Finding these things isn’t going to be a walk in the park” Jiraiya said, “they are small and could be anywhere on the planet. If they aren’t found by the time this invading force reaches us, we’ll need to hold them off.”

“Sounds like a good idea” the Tsuchikage said, to the surprise of everyone else. “We’ll need to know about our enemy before we can plan though.”

The Kage immediately turned to Mr Popo, expecting that his arrival would bring crucial Intel on their enemy.

“We don’t know who is coming” Mr Popo admitted, “but we do know a little more information than before. There are five separate energies heading here and we believe that they will land in five separate locations, which I’ve marked on this map.”

Mr Popo handed over a large map that had five black crosses marked on five different locations. The various marks were far apart and travelling to the different battlegrounds wouldn’t be easy.

“Why would they do that?” Gaara asked, “that would put them at a disadvantage wouldn’t it? Maybe they are having problems with their transportation.”

“Perhaps” Jiraiya replied, “but we don’t know why they’re coming here so splitting up could be beneficial for them. In any case, this actually helps us a great deal as we now know how to divide our forces.”

“So, do we just have one village fight at one location each?” the Mizukage, Mei, pondered aloud.

“That wouldn’t be a wise decision,” Gaara said softly.

“Why not?” Ay demanded and judging by his tone he seemed to be on the verge of destroying yet another desk.

“Because we are supposed to be united!” Jiraiya shouted, dropping all pretence of the formality of the meeting. “Dividing ourselves like this is what has lead to all the hatred in this world and all of the unnecessary lives that have been lost. Can we please, just this once at least, all fight for a common cause?”

Silence followed Jiraiya’s emotional plea, as the Kage considered his words.

“This is why you’re not Hokage, Lord Jiraiya” Ay said, “you let your emotions take precedence over your mind. Sure, we all let anger get the best of us at times, but we would never make a decision based purely on that.”

“Well, I’m glad I’m not a Kage then” Jiraiya countered, “because I’d rather live my life as an emotional failure than a dull success.”

“In any case” Tsunade interjected, looking to stop a fight. “What Jiraiya said makes tactical sense. Each village specialises in different areas, so it’s better to spread those talents around rather than keeping them all in one place.”

“That does make sense” Onoki said, “all right, I’ll agree to it. We should probably start making up divisions and generals at once. Now then, we only have one problem left that we can solve today. Who will be the leader of this army?”

“How about Mr Popo here?” Mei offered. “He’s the only one that’s impartial after all.”

“Oh no” Mr Popo said, horrified at the very idea. “I’m not really the type, honestly. However, I would suggest that Lady Tsunade lead your forces.”

“Why her?” Ay roared, annoyed that he had not been chosen.

“Well, of the three most experienced leader here, she has been the most level headed throughout the proceedings” Mr Popo replied. “This battle will require someone who can keep you all united and she would be the best candidate for that.”

“I agree with the motion,” Gaara said immediately.

“As do I,” Mei concurred, bringing any argument to a close.

The two remaining Kage didn’t bother to voice their dissent, so the matter was closed. Tsunade was elected as the leader of the army.

“Now this has been decided” Tsunade began, filled with confidence. “We need to return to our villages and prepare immediately. We only have four days left and we must make them count!”


“They grant any wish you say?” Orochimaru asked, looking to make sure he heard everything correctly.

“That’s right” Kabuto replied, “they’ve even been used to revive the dead in years gone by.”

Orochimaru began to laugh wickedly as his foul plan took shape in his mind. However, the laughing was soon replaced with violent coughing and the Snake Sannin keeled over in pain. The coughing eventually subsided and blood became visible in his hand.

“The body is starting to reject you” Kabuto remarked, very concerned about his masters health. He poured a vile of medicine down Orochimaru’s throat and the healing process began immediately. “The medical treatments will have to intensify from here.”

“That creates quite the problem,” Orochimaru hissed, as he struggled to breathe. “I won’t be able to get my hands on those objects if I’m ill.”

“Then I will go in your stead” Kabuto declared, as he bowed down in front of Orochimaru.

“No” was the harsh reply. “You’re not strong enough Kabuto and besides, I’ll need you with me while I fight this disease. Go get Sasuke, he’ll do this for me.”

“Are you sure that’s wise?” Kabuto questioned. “He’s-“

“Just do it!” Orochimaru screamed, which caused Kabuto to quickly run out the door. A few minutes later, he returned with a disinterested Sasuke.

“What do you want?” Sasuke asked, “I was sleeping you know.”

“I have a mission for you” Orochimaru said, looking to draw Sasuke’s attention. “It’s very dangerous and could benefit both of us greatly.”

“How could anything that you want interest me?” Sasuke replied, as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

Orochimaru went on to explain the situation with the Dragon Balls and outlined what Sasuke’s mission would be. After he had finished, Sasuke still seemed uninterested.

“So you get your immortality, why should I care?” Sasuke said.

“Oh that’s right, I forgot to mention,” Orochimaru teased, “the Dragon Balls grant two wishes. I’ll give the other one to you if you bring them to me.”

A whole host of possibilities ran through Sasuke’s mind as he contemplated what the Dragon Balls could do for him. After a minute, he turned back to Orochimaru.

“When do I start?”


Several cloaked figures stood in a circle inside a dark cave. Amongst them were some of the most powerful and dangerous Shinobi in the world. The organisation known as the Akatsuki had gathered to discuss the alarming change in events.

“So, that chakra was coming from space, huh?” a blond haired teenager asked.

“Yes Deidera” the man known only as Pain answered. “The Five Great Nations have gathered and are united in fighting the invaders.

“Surely that makes our job easier?” the sharklike Kisame said. “After all, if their villages are distracted the Jinchuriki should be more vulnerable to an attack and easier to reach?”

“Actually, it would be the opposite” a figure with blood red eyes responded. “The Jinchuriki are now spread out for some reason making them much harder to trace. Finding them has become much more difficult.”

“Exactly, Itachi” Pain replied, “That is why we will wait and see what happens. If the villages repel the invaders it will not be without cost. That makes them far more susceptible and we can strike then.”

“What if they don’t win?” Itachi asked, with the question on everyone’s lips.

“Then our job isn’t even necessary at all,” Pain answered, before dismissing the group.



Tsunade stood at the front of a large group of Shinobi with a scroll in her hand. She read out the numerous teams that comprised the Dragon Ball Retrieval Unit, who were all charged with the most important task in the war.

“Team 16 will be made up of: Hinata Hyuga, Temari of the Sand, Kurotsuchi of the Stone, Omoi of the Cloud and Chojuro of the Mist. Please go over to Shizune who will brief you on the area that you have to search.”

Tsunade watched the group move over and spotted Hinata look back over at the blonde boy in the corner. Of course, Tsunade knew that Hinata desperately wanted Naruto on her team, but she didn’t allow it. Everyone had to focus on this mission and he would only serve as a distraction.

“Team 17 will be made up of: Neji Hyuga, Maki of the Sand, Kiri of the Mist, Ittan of the Stone, Tenga of the Cloud and Naruto Uzumaki of the Leaf.”

Tsunade had been hesitant to read the last name on the list but in the end she knew that she had to. It had been the decided that the Jinchuriki, except for Gaara, would be split among the Retrieval Teams. It would be a disaster if they were to lose control on the battlefield and allow their tailed beasts to take control.

Team 17 gathered around their map and read where they were to search.

“That’s a very large area to search” Neji said, as he realised the enormity of the task that lay ahead. “I’m not sure it’s even possible to cover such an area in only four days, never mind look for something.”

“Well, you won’t be travelling by foot” Shizune replied, as she searched for a scroll in the pile of papers in front of her. “Ah yes, here we are. Sign this Summoning Contract, and then you’re ready to go.”

“A summoning contract?” Naruto asked, “for what?”

“Well, you won’t have to sign it” Shizune answered, “only Neji will. We have an agreement with the Hawks to help us during our search, so the Hyuga member from each team signs a contract to summon them. The Dragon Balls have such a strong chakra that you should be able to see them from the air. Now, sign the contract.”

Neji did as instructed and the team then stood off to the side as the rest of the teams were assembled. After they were done, Tsunade addressed them all at once.

“You all know your duty to your village and to this world so I only have one thing left to say” Tsunade began. “Do not fail!”

Chapter 5: Arrival

“I see, so that’s how they are finding the Dragon Balls” Goku said, having finally understood what King Kai had been explaining. The dead Saiyans and Piccolo had gathered around King Kai while he explained the entire situation. It soon became clear why their help was required.

“It’s an unbelievable situation really” Piccolo said, “why would they go to earth now? It’s been over a millennia since we were alive, you would have thought that kind of conflict would have died out by now.”

“They were a strange race” King Kai added, “very unpredictable. They appeared to be rather innocent on first glance, but they secretly had dark intentions. In all honesty, I thought that they had died out by now.”

“Well, it’s a good job they didn’t” Vegeta said, while he was stood with his arms folded. “Now, we’ll get to be the one’s that finish them off!”

“That’s a horrible way of thinking!” Goku yelled. “That’s the kind of mindset that Frieza took, which is what basically caused this mess. You really haven’t changed in the last thousand years, have you?”

Vegeta just shrugged and grunted, which was all that could be expected from him. Goku continued to glare at his rival, whose attitude was starting to grate.

“Well, we should get back to training then” Gohan spoke, looking to ease the tension. “We need to be in top condition for when the time comes.”

“Good idea” King Kai agreed, “Because these guys will desperate to fight you.”


“Neji, you seen anything yet?” Naruto asked, while shouting over the sound of the rushing wind.

“I already told you, I’ll let you know when I do” Neji replied, having become frustrated at Naruto’s constant questioning. “Remember, there’s no guarantee that we’ll even find one of them anyway. This task requires patience and calmness, both of which you are severely lacking.”

Jeez Neji, you didn’t have to be so brutal Naruto thought, as he pouted in protest. The team were flying high above the ground, with each member on the back of a different hawk. Neji was scanning beneath the earth’s surface with his Byakugan, looking for a glimpse of the massive chakra in the shape of an orb underground.

“So, what about you guys?” Naruto said to the Shinobi from the other villages. “Are you not a little bored with this?”

Tenga of the Cloud Village gave Naruto a harsh look before giving him a short answer.

“We have a duty to complete this mission and we will see it through to its conclusion.”

The sentiment was shared by the rest of the group, which left Naruto feeling rather left out. After another hour of searching, Neji cried out and brought his hands to his eyes.

“That’s my limit,” he said bitterly. “We need to land so I can rest my eyes for a while, we can continue this search in a few hours.”

Most of the group seemed annoyed by Neji’s need to rest but they followed his orders without protest. They were under strict orders to co-operate with the other villages, even though they still thought of them as sworn enemies. Eventually, they landed in the middle of a forest and their hawks left for some rest of their own. The group hastily set up a makeshift campsite, while Neji sat under a tree with his eyes closed. After a while the campsite was complete and there was even food being cooked over a fire. The only thing that was missing was a sense of camaraderie.

“Hey Neji” Naruto said softly, breaking the silent tension that had developed between them.

“What is it Naruto?” Neji asked, while keeping his eyes firmly closed.

“Do you think we have a chance?” Naruto said, shocking his teammate. After all, Naruto had always exuded confidence, so hearing him sound so unsure and worried was very disturbing.

“No, we don’t” Kiri declared, before Neji could even react. “This is all a useless exercise, we’ll be wiped out as soon as this force gets here.”

Neji’s eyes flipped open at this point and he focused his gaze on the Shinobi of the Mist.

“If you’re so unconfident,” Neji said “why are you here?”

Kiri shrugged unenthusiastically.

“I’m still a Shinobi at the end of the day” he replied, “its part of our duty to perform impossible tasks. Besides, the longer I stay off the battlefield, the longer I can cling on to life. Either way, our destiny was set the moment these invaders decided that they were coming here.”

Neji let out a grunt of disapproval as he stood up and turned from the group.

“What a pathetic viewpoint to take” he spat, “we control our own destiny. If everybody gave up like you, this world would have been wiped out long before now.”

Naruto stared proudly at his friend and realised just how much he had changed. Three years ago, he was the one giving him that speech and now the tables had turned. It gave him hope that Sasuke could be convinced the same way.

As soon as Neji had finished, a small carrier bird arrived and landed on his shoulder. He quickly took the letter the bird was carrying and read it hastily. A smile appeared on his face and he looked over to his team.

“One Dragon Ball has been found,” he said happily, before biting his finger to draw blood. “Rest time is over, we need to continue our search.


Three more days passed and the powerful chakra continued to draw nearer. Five of the Dragon Balls had been gathered, which was an impressive feat. However, it was not enough and the prospect of war loomed large. Tsunade downed her third glass of sake and stared into the sky. Why was this happening to them and why now? All she knew for sure was that her Grandfather, the First Hokage, would have handled this situation much better than her.

Jiraiya then entered the room, which freed Tsunade from her mental torture. Despite having the terrifying prospect of battling an unknown foe hanging over his head, the Toad Sannin appeared to be in high spirits. It was a peculiar trait that Tsunade had always admired and it’s calming influence was much appreciated that day.

“I might have known that you’d be here, sneaking a drink,” Jiraiya teased, as he poured a glass for himself. “You always were one to stay out of trouble, probably why you make such a good medic.”

Tsunade couldn’t bring herself to join in with Jiraiya’s optimism. The fact was that, in a matter of hours, she had to command the greatest army ever assembled against an unstoppable force. The very thought had her reaching for the bottle again. Jiraiya slapped her hand away and immediately switched to a sterner look.

“You have to keep your head” he said, “We need you to be focused to keep everything running smoothly.”

“What about you?” Tsunade asked, “why is it okay for you to drink?”

“Inspiration” Jiraiya replied, finally showing the doubts that lay under the surface. “I’m going to be fighting on the front lines, so I need something to keep me going.”

Jiraiya’s words brought Tsunade intense feelings of guilt.

“It’s not too late” she muttered, “I can still lead that division in your place. It’s not fair that you always end up with the most dangerous assignments.”

Jiraiya laughed off Tsunade’s heartfelt offer as he finished his drink.

“That’s what I’m here for” he said, “I’m the one who does the easy stuff such as the fighting while the smart ones like you can do the important things. It’s the way of most men actually”

Jiraiya’s words did little to ease Tsunade’s fears.

“So, a man’s responsibility is to be strong is it?” she asked, trying to keep the conversation going so she could ignore her thoughts.

“Pretty much” Jiraiya agreed, “then again, men aren’t meant to pursue happiness. Now, Tsunade you know we have to go.”

“I know” she sighed, as she slowly got off her seat. The two Sannin walked out of the cramped office and down the hallway, where they could hear a faint noise. The further they walked, the louder the noise became until they finally came to a clearing and stepped outside. The other Kage, who stood before an army that numbered 80,000, met them there. The army was split into five distinct divisions, with each division containing a variety of specialists.

“Incredible” Tsunade whispered, barely loud enough for the other Kage to hear. “To think that each of those divisions are going to be fighting just one person. It goes against all logic.”

“Everything about this situation is illogical” Gaara said, “but we have to deal with the hand we’ve been dealt. After all, an intelligent Shinobi can adapt to any situation.”

“Well said” Onoki cheered, as Tsunade moved up to address the force at large. The usually confident Hokage was panic stricken as she stared out at the endless mass of faces that stared back at her expectantly. She glanced over at Jiraiya, who gave her a wink in his usual, carefree style. The action brought a smile to her lips and inspired her to speak.

“This is a historic moment” she yelled, “For the first time in our history, all Shinobi are working together as one. We are united by a common goal to protect our planet and those we care about. Each and every one of you has a duty to this alliance and I know that you will not rest until you have fulfilled that duty. We are Shinobi, the elite and most powerful warriors of this planet. So lets show these bastards what we are made of!”

A loud cheer erupted from the group and morale jumped to an all time high. Jiraiya and the Kage went to join their divisions, but Tsunade pulled Jiraiya to one side before he could get there. She embraced him in a loving hug and whispered into his ear.

“You just make sure that you come back alive,” she said, as she fought back the tears. This time, there were no jokes from Jiraiya who just nodded to her. With that, he joined his division and the army split up and went to their separate destinations. As Tsunade watched them leave, another carrier bird arrived. It told her that the sixth Dragon Ball had been found, meaning there was only one left. It gave her faint hope that they could actually pull this off.

Jiraiya’s division had an area that was reasonably close to the base, at least when compared to some of the other destinations. They reached their destination within a couple of hours, and then stood to attention and waited. With each passing minute, the foul and intense chakra seemed to grow stronger. Chatter occasionally broke out between members of the division but most of the time the warriors remained stoic and silent. Finally, the feeling peaked and a bright light became visible in the sky.

“I guess this is it” Kakashi said, as he walked up to Jiraiya.

“I guess it is” Jiraiya replied, as he bit his finger to draw blood. He marked the blood under his eyelids and connected the rings to the lines already on his face. At each battlefield, and at the Shinobi Alliance Headquarters, every Shinobi watched as the objects became closer. Eventually, the method of transport the enemy was using became visible. It appeared to be a metal orb that was just about big enough to fit a person. The five ships landed roughly one kilometre from each of the battlefields, where they made a large crater in the ground.

There was an ominous pause as the ships remained still and no sign of life revealed itself. However, the powerful chakra emanating from them was enough to assure any doubters that the invaders had arrived. After what seemed like an age, the ships doors slowly opened and the passengers that sat inside all got out.

The five life forms that emerged all varied slightly in size and general appearance, but they all shared some characteristics. They appeared to be humans and all were white and muscular. They had either blonde or brown hair and wore distinctive battle armour. Over their left eye was a glass object of differing colours, known as a scouter, which was clipped to their ear. The warriors then put their hands to their scouters to converse with each other. Their voices were all similar and they spoke with robotic like accents.

Is this it? The description we had of this planet was quite different.

Yes, the course was plotted correctly.

According to my ship, this is the right location.

Interesting.

What’s this? It seems a large number of the locals have arrived at my location.

It’s the same situation here.

Are any of them Saiyans?

Negative, their power levels appear to be too low.

How should we proceed?

We attack.

Agreed.

We will force them to tell us where the Saiyans are.

Once we know, we are to kill them all.

Chapter 6: Out of Time?

“Damn it” Goku muttered, while he watched the events unfold through King Kai. “Just hang in there guys, we’ll be there soon.”

“Typical earthlings” Vegeta spat, as he continued to observe events. “They can’t do anything for themselves. How many times have we had to watch an army of these fools march to their deaths?”

“What was that?” a shrill voice yelled, as a purple haired woman marched over. “Did I just here you bad mouthing earthlings again, Vegeta?”

“No, you must be hearing things” Vegeta mumbled, while avoiding eye contact with his wife. Sometimes I regret convincing Grand Kai to let you stay here.

“This is no time to be arguing” Gohan said, “We just have to make sure that we’re ready when the time comes. We just need to hope that those guys down on earth can hold out long enough until we get there.”


Jiraiya walked forward nervously, he could feel his hands shaking as he did so. He had to steady his emotions while he made his way towards the terrifying enemy that had appeared before them. His mysterious armour and the confidence with which he stood before an army of 16,000 was unnerving and Jiraiya didn’t know if he could summon the courage to even speak.

“Who is this Jiraiya?” the toad on his left shoulder asked.

“Well, hopefully I’m about to find out” Jiraiya replied, as he stopped in his tracks and prepared to give the speech that the commanders had prepared in advance.

“On behalf of the people of this planet” Jiraiya shouted, in his most serious voice. “I demand that you state who you are and what your purpose is.”

The man refused to even acknowledge Jiraiya’s presence and continued to scan the area with his green scouter. At the other battlefields, the same scenario took place. Despite their appearance, the invaders acted more like machines than they did human. After half a minute, another conversation took place between them.

They must be hiding them; it’s the only logical explanation.

That means we have to attack them.

Although, it will be difficult to not accidentally kill them.

Indeed, they are completely outclassed.

How about we send the Cybermen into battle?

That would be interesting to see.

Agreed, we shall proceed with this plan.

The man reached into a secret compartment within his armour and pulled out a large handful of large metallic balls.

“What’s that?” the elder toad asked, a hint of mystery in his voice.

“I don’t know” Jiraiya replied, “But I don’t want to get in the way of that!”

Jiraiya jumped backwards as the small projectiles made their way towards him. His speed had increased dramatically and it impressed the gathered Shinobi. However, they had a much bigger problem in the shape of the weapons that had just been thrown.

“How about we even the numbers a little?” the invader yelled, as he pressed a button on his scouter. Suddenly, metal shapes began to sprout out of the ground at a quick rate and quickly took the general shape of a human.

“What the hell is that?” Kakashi asked, without expecting an answer.

“They’re what we call Cybermen, not that I would expect you to understand” was the cocky reply, as the invader began to show a vindictive personality. “We developed them from a similar being that existed long ago. They aren’t quite as powerful but they are easier to use and should be more than a match for you.”

Finally, the Cybermen were complete and a small army of them stood waiting to attack. Their appearance was unique, in that they didn’t have one at all. They had only the outline of a body, with no facial features. In a way, they resembled a mannequin and stood around 6 feet tall. Despite their plain appearance, each and every Shinobi present knew that they were faced with powerful opponents.

“I guess this has happened at every battle, they’re just toying with us,” Jiraiya said, before he turned to the group gathered behind him. The mass of Shinobi mostly contained youthful faces, representatives of a generation that had never seen war. Just a week before, everything was fine in the world. Now, it appeared likely that almost all of them would die. Jiraiya couldn’t help but sigh and reflect on the mess that they were in. As he scanned the faces, he could tell what they were thinking. They knew that they were marching to their deaths and there wasn’t much that they could do about it. Jiraiya turned back towards the faceless enemy army, which stood motionless and menacing.

“There isn’t much left to say really” Jiraiya said, addressing his forces. “We all know what we’re getting in to, so there’s no point with some motivational speech. However, I will tell you one thing. If we die here, then we take these things with us!”

A cry went up all over the planet, as all of the Shinobi at each battleground charged towards their opponents. Taijutsu barrages and Ninjutsu attacks collided with the Cybermen, with some having more effects than others. Spurred on by their will to live and their belief in each other, they continued their assault despite the overwhelming odds.

Several cries of anguish could be heard in the air, as the rookies had to watch their comrades perish.

“Don’t dwell on it” Gai could be heard yelling, as he did his best to combat one of the Cybermen alone. “You kids need to learn that you’ll witness your comrades die on the battlefield. You just need to keep going, or you’ll end up the same way.”

Jiraiya kicked away an enemy that Kakashi had been struggling against, before turning to his comrade.

“Kakashi, how long will it take to prepare that attack?” Jiraiya asked desperately.

“About another minute” Kakashi responded, as he closed his Sharingan eye. “I was able to prepare most of it before we started, I don’t need long now.”

“I’ll hold these off for you then” Jiraiya declared, as he zoomed around and knocked away every enemy that tried to attack. Up above them, the invader noticed a rising power level on his scouter.

“This is interesting,” he said, as he studied the source of the disturbance.

“Tello? What’s happening?” a voice called out over the scouter.

“A rising power concentrated in the eye” Tello replied, “I’ve never seen that before. In fact, it’s quite a rapid increase.”

Tello spent the next few minutes concentrating on Kakashi, just waiting for the inevitable attack. Finally, he noticed the eye open and the power level stopped rising.

“That’s disappointing, the power is so low” Tello sighed, as he stood cross-armed. Then, he felt a strange feeling in his torso and panicked as he looked down.

“What is this?” he cried, before trying to jump out of the way. However, he was only able to dodge the torso attack and found that his leg was stuck.

“I can’t move it” Kakashi said, his voice strained. “I guess I’ll just have to take this!”

There was a sickening crack as Tello’s leg was broken from his body and he cried out in pain. Kakashi almost fell to the ground, tired out from his use of his Mangekyo Sharingan. However, it felt like it was worth it. He had caused damage to their enemy and had at least given them a small opportunity.

“That’s slightly impressive” Tello said, while revealing a devilish smile. “However, it’s not good enough.”

Tello yelled out in pain, before a completely new leg sprouted from the stump that had been left behind. There was an audible gasp from those watching and all sense of hope was lost.

“The Namekians” Tello declared loudly. “What an amazing race of people.”


“Come on Neji” Naruto yelled, “Can’t you see anything?”

“Shut up Naruto” Neji responded, no longer trying to be polite. Tension filled the air between the several members of the group while Neji continued his search. They knew that the battle must have started and the situation was getting desperate.

“Wait” Neji said, “I think that’s it. I think I found it!”

The team quickly landed to the designated spot and allowed Neji to get a more detailed look. They were in the middle of an open field, with a few trees dotted around the area. Some of group even prayed, as they knew how desperate the situation was.

“We need to dig” Neji declared, before turning to the group. “We need to dig, now!”

The team set to work, and dirt was thrown rapidly all around them. However, progress was still slow as the Dragon Ball was buried very deep into the ground.

“We need to hurry this up,” Neji gasped, as he continued to smash the rock that was in the way.

“Well then, stand back and let me take care of it” Naruto yelled, while he stood on top of a nearby tree. “I have a way to get down there in no time!”

Naruto created a Rasengan and then jumped off the tree and towards the ground. He then smashed his attack into the floor and completely destroyed the earth. He had made an impressive hole, but he couldn’t find that all-important orange sphere.

“How close am I Neji?” Naruto asked, as he stared into the dirt.

“Close, I’ll help you” Neji replied, as he joined Naruto inside the hole. They spent the next few minutes smashing through the earth, until they were finally rewarded with the sight of a small orange orb with four stars on it. Naruto picked it up and held it in his hand, amazed by what they had found.

“All this effort, for something so small” he said, while transfixed with it.

“We have no time for this” Neji declared, taking charge once again. “We have to get this back to the headquarters as soon as possible. Let’s go.”

Neji jumped out of the earth and was followed by Naruto just seconds later. They stood on opposite sides of the hole, before Naruto started rubbing his eyes.

“I didn’t realise how much dirt got in there,” Naruto moaned, as he rubbed his eyes viciously. When he opened them, Neji, with his Byakugan active, was staring back at him with a face full of rage.

“You” he spat, while he shook in anger.

“What?” Naruto asked, taken by surprise at Neji’s sudden change in attitude. “Neji what are you-“

That was when he felt it, the cool chill of the blade as it stroked his neck. He realised that Neji wasn’t look at him; he was looking through him to the person behind.

“Give me that thing now and I’ll consider not killing you” a deep voice demanded, as he pressed the blade even deeper into Naruto’s skin, drawing blood.

“I can’t believe you’ve fallen this far,” Naruto said, fighting back the tears as he did. “How could you do this, Sasuke?”
