Inside the Ice Coffin I passed out due to the heat and constantly infusing my chakra into the coffin to keep me alive. Time passed as I slowly regain conscienceless, My head is thumping, my body feels weak and sweat has permeated through all my clothing so I am soaked.
I try to stand up inside the Coffin as I clutch my head in agony, Slowly I stand on my feet and pry open the Lid of the coffin. What I see astonishes me. Sand has replaced the lush green trees, bushes, grasses, and shrubbery that covered the forest. Lakes and River beds dried completely, animals fled, and the Temperature is unbearable.
The First thought that goes through my mind as I look at the landscape before me is weather or not Itachi, and Shisui made it to a safe area outside the blast range.
I don't have enough strength to go look for them, Siri informed me that even if I recover my chakra, I still need rest after casting a jutsu of that scale. I Sit down on the Ice in the middle of this Scorching hot desert.
What I did not know is that the remnants of the Rock shinobi that survived the blast grouped together to resume the hunt. They moved around the sand Hills and Dunes that replaced the Trees, using them as cover as they closed in on the center of the desert.
*Rock Shinobi Survivor*
They Moved Swiftly without pause, Lord Tsuchikage made himself extremely clear when he was speaking to them "Those Leaf Anbu must Die." this was the Mission and well as the death sentence for those three. The level of difficulty on that task was unclear during the initial stages but, It has become extremely clear, These three Anbu have to be at least Jonin level. Their Team work and Use of jutsu is astonishing, Their Chakra reserves and Control is beyond most.
Individually their skill levels are High and when they get together it becomes down right scary, The Sharingan, A jutsu I have never seen before, is present in all of their eyes. Combined With the Smiles on their Masks It gives you a Slight feeling of oppression and Mockery, coupled with their body language that remains unhindered and Relaxed despite the numerous shinobi that circled them. It gives you a feeling of Uncertainty, like everything is within the palms of their hands.
Fear. This emotion has surfaced in all of us, because even though we survived that attack we now have to return to the belly of the beast. The Jutsu the Monkey masked one used before was a Show of force sort to speak, A door knocker designed to kill as many as possible and demonstrate that he was beyond our level.
Now it is almost Like we are rushing to our death by returning to the site where that monstrosity created a Sun and threw it at us.
We used the Sensory Ninja to relay a Message to HQ asking for Reinforcements, With the Number of Shinobi we have now there is no way we would be able to even make them sweat. At least 2000 Shinobi died in that blast, A devastating loss.
As We move closer, and closer to the center of the Desert we can see a Box of Ice sitting at its center. Each and everyone of us tense up when we see the Figure that is sitting at the Edge of the Box. As if he could feel our Presence those Frosty eyes turned and looked in our direction. My knees turned to Jello, Those Eyes contained Unwavering determination with unyielding Strength. Those Eyes made me feel as If I should run and never turn back, but we have to complete the Mission.
I gave a Signal and we all began to do the hand signs for the same jutsu, "Doton: Tsuchi Zuhan Danmaku( Earth Style: Earth Plate Barrage)
*Ichizo's POV*
Thousands of these Earth Plates began to fly in my direction. If these hit me I will die there is no question about it, so I prepare my Chakra in order to save myself.
However, I was grabbed then vanished from the spot I was in. There is only one Person that could get me out of that situation like that.
"How Did you manage for so long?" an Extremely Familiar voice resounds in my ears. I turn around to see My Father, Itachi, Shisui, and Minato. All the Tension in my body immediately vanished and I was extremely relieved to see not only my teammates but my Father.
After all that We spent the Time catching up Minato and Father on the situation. When the two heard everything they look at the three in front of them with new found respect. The were hunted down and still were able to change the situation in their Favor.
"You three have done more than enough. Please take a rest and allow the two of us to take it from here." Minato said this with a Smile while Fugaku nods in agreement with his statement.
The Two of them didn't even wait for the Trio to respond before they Turned around to Encounter the Rock Shinobi. Their Faces Became Serious, And A Terrifying amount of Chakra Seeped from Fugaku. An Oppressing Force that further lowered the morale of The Rock Shinobi Spread though the area.
"Stand Back Minato" Fugaku says as He begins Rapidly doing Hand Signs, His Body begins to shine brightly as Lightning Flowed on the Surface of his skin.
A strong feeling of Death began to travel throughout the Ranks of the Rock Shinobi, Many of them Tried to flee. However, no matter how far away they were, it felt as if they were locked on too because the Feeling Refused to fade away.
"Raiton: Kouten No Saiketsu (Lightning Style: Heaven's Judgement)." Numerous Large streams of Lightning shot out of Fugaku's Body and traveled in many different directions. The Lightning tore through the sand and bore holes through anything that obstructed its path. When a Shinobi was pierced by it their Bodies convulsed as the Electric current flowed throughout it and Finally exploded into small bits because there bodies could not handle the voltage.
The Strong electric currents caused a Magnetic storm that caused Sand, dust and Body parts to fly in many different directions. The Sky itself prostrated and bent to Fugaku's will as clouds filled the sky and Darkened sending Various streams of lightning to the ground annihilating everything that it struck.
After 5 mins the sky cleared and all that was left was utter decimation. Due to the many lightning strikes, the sand in the area Formed many abstract style statues. These statues ranged form 2 meters to Hundreds of meters in height and width, which turned the smiling Desert into a strategic location within the land of Fire.
The Rock Shinobi Sensory Nin already related all the Information pertaining to this battle to to HQ.
*Hidden Stone*
"We must mobilize stronger forces if we wish to get any advantage in this war. In one battle, 5 Shinobi brought the entire Invasion Force to its knees. The Leaf Anbu that will now be referred to as The Smiling Trio, We have put out a directive to all our Shinobi. If these Three are ever within your sight, Even if overwhelmingly out numbered Do Not engage, Retreat is the best course of Action. Next, We have the Yellow Haired on that our Ninja refer to as the Yellow Flash. He Butchered the reinforcements so quickly we were unable to gauge his power. Run on Sight order has been put into play just like with the Smiling Trio. Lastly, The one that has enough Chakra to be classified as a Tailed beast. He is Dangerous, So dangerous in fact we must order our Shinobi to surrender upon seeing him because maybe they will be spared." The Shinobi Paused the Looked intensely at Lord Tsuchikage. "What Shall we Do Sir?"
Lord Tsuchikage says "Call a meeting between the Hokage and Myself. We shall see if we can make his seat Vacant."
That Shinobi Nods and walks out of the Tsuchikage's Chambers.
Ichizo has caused an action that will drastically change the power Dynamics of the Hidden Leaf.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
