Chapter 21: Sands of time part 5

! - ! - !
This chapter is going to be directly connected to Chapter 21 in ‘Naruto: Water’. Just a heads up, though this one starts just before that Chapter 21 happens. Then when the time change happens (indicated by the double ! - ! - ! lines) The story happens after Chapter 21 in water. Just a heads up because this one is written strangely

“So we used the storm as cover….and then leave.” Naruto said, repeating it to get the grasp of it. Many things came to mind when he thought of that plan, all of the reason’s it might not work. “That’s the best you can come up with?”

Sasuke shot him a look from the ground on the side of Naruto’s bed, “I’ve went through every other option we have, this is the only one that has a chance of working. Unless you have a better idea?” Sasuke looked up at him with a raised eyebrow.

Naruto sighed “It’s good plan but…we can’t just walked out of the city gates, look at the storm.” Naruto pointed to the TV where the News had taken over whatever show was currently supposed to be on to warn Konoha about an approaching storm. It was a little over the size of a Hurricane, they were showing it with colors to rate it’s severity. All of it was completely red, this was one hell of a storm coming “It would pick us apart.”

Sasuke smirked, “Who said anything about walking?”

Konohamaru looked over to him, he was sitting next to Sasuke on the bed “What do you mean? They shut down all air traffic, and even if they didn’t my Grandfather wouldn’t just let us take a plane out of here.”

“No, but we can drive.” Sasuke said.

“Drive? You don’t have a car.” Konohamaru said questioningly.

Naruto snorted “He’s rich remember.” Naruto knew Sasuke had grown accustom to being reluctant to spend his family’s money. He didn’t want too, at least not until he….

“Look at that…” Future Lee said, sitting against the wall still in Gai’s backyard. The other Lee and Shikamaru were doing the same, all three of them looking towards the sky where an ominously huge mass of pitch black clouds could be seen over the horizon.

“Doesn’t this remind you of something?” Shikamaru asked.

Past Lee nodded “How could I forget the storm that wiped out Konoha.”

“Huh?” Future Lee looked over at the two “You were there when it happened?”

“Yeah.” Shikamaru said “It started just like this, unusually hot, humid, stronger wind speeds. Turns out the storm cell had been formed with Chakra which made it that powerful.”

Future Lee started to get nervous, “Do you think this could be the same storm?”

Lee and Shikamaru both shrugged “I couldn’t say.” Shikamaru told him.

Gai walked out of his house in to the back yard. “Bad News, the storm that’s coming has been rated level 5. A lot of storm proofing and preparation has to be done before it hits.”

Future Lee swallowed, “Oh man, I better get home.” he said, picking himself up. “See ya Gai-sensei.”

“Goodbye.” Gai gave him a small wave as he headed towards the garage to retrieve his motorcycle and head home. “Well guys, just us three. Want to come with me?”

“I thought you had to storm proof.” Lee said.

“Not this house, it’s been reinforced so many times I lost count. A tornado couldn’t pull this place out of the ground.” Gai said proudly, the homes now did look much more sturdy then those 2000 years ago.

“Sure then.” Lee got up, followed by Shikamaru who took one last glance at the storm, wondering if it was anywhere near as powerful as the complete wipeout storm he’d faced before. “Where are you going?”

“Just have to take care of some business first.” Gai said discardingly. “It shouldn’t take too long.:

“Gai-sensei, do you have a phone I could use?” Shikamaru asked as he got in to the back seat of Gai’s car.

Gai reached into his pocket and retrieved a cell phone. “Here you go.”

“Thank you.” Shikamaru said, quickly figuring out how to work this machinery and calling Naruto’s apartment. “Hello, Naruto?”

“Shikamaru? The one from the pas right?” Naruto asked from the other side of the phone.

“Yeah it‘s me.”

“Good thing you called.” Naruto said, “Me, Sasuke and Konohamaru are leaving town today.”

“Oh?”

“We have to get ready so I have to go.”

“Alright.” Shikamaru hung up and give the phone back to Gai. His eyes immediately wondered over to Lee who was looking out of the window, taking in the sights and memorizing the paths for future references. Which wasn’t a bad idea because it was becoming more and more obvious that they weren’t going to be going back home any time soon.

“Hey Shikamaru, look.” Lee said, pointing out the window over the highway bridge they were traveling on to a field below. “Is it just me or dose that look familiar.”

Shikamaru leaned forward a bit to get a view of what he was talking about, Lee was pointing to an orange fox with nine-tails. “This can’t be happening.” Shikamaru sighed “We have a problem, a really big one…” He turned to Gai.

“Is there anyway to kill that thing?” Gai asked from the drivers seat to an armored S.W.A.T truck.

“I haven‘t seen one yet.” Iruka sighed. “And…could you just stop it, not kill it.”

“Why?” Gai asked.

“We’re from the past remember? And so is the Kyuubi.” Past Kakashi said, “If you kill it--”

Gai nodded “It would changed the past, got it.”

“Past? What do you mean from the past?” Future Kakashi asked.

There was a loud thump on the roof and the sound of scraping when the Nine-Tails dug it’s claws through the steel. Growling could be heard from above as the claws went deeper.

“Bail!” Gai yelled, watching everyone open up their door and jump out before doing the same, slamming into the ground painfully hard and rolling forward from his momentum. Just as Gai came to a stop in the middle of a 4-way intersection, the armored truck went up in flames right before blowing apart and sending a rain of metal scraps over the area.

The metal rain was replaced by a real one, soft rain drops started to fall from the sky and wore down the fire. Revealing the orange fox standing alertly in the center, it’s Chakra flared up suddenly, blowing away remaining flames. The ground started to shake in it’s wake while the surrounding houses building, no higher then 3 stories, began to combust. Kyubi was using it’s Chakra in the same way it’s smaller offspring had done in the past.

“How is an overgrown fox doing all of this!?” Future Kakashi asked uneasily, blocking his face as one of the explosions erupted nearby. Once again the bomb suit was working to his advantage.

“Chakra.” Shikamaru said, moving backwards cautiously while the demon was ignoring them.

“It can’t be Chakra, there isn’t any…”Future Kakashi started to realize that they must have actually been from the past. There was no other way a typical fox…or anything else for that matter, could do this with out using Chakra. And the Jutsu Iruka used before, really was a Jutsu.

“So Kakashi, did you pay attention in history class?” Gai asked.

Future Kakashi realized what he meant immediately, then turned to his other self “How did you get here?”

“Kid named Gaara, he can go through time.” Past Kakashi said, the other Kakashi figured that they weren’t talking about the Gaara in his time. Which raised the question of why everyone seemed to have a double. “Iruka, come on.”

“Huh? Why are we going?” The man asked.

“We can’t do anything here, we have to get Gaara.” Past Kakashi said.

“He’s out of Chakra, what can he do?”

“We can think about it on the way.” Kakashi leapt in to the air in a blur of speed, creating a small wind outward and kicking up some dust. Iruka nodded and left with a similar speed, only achieved by the use of Chakra.

“Things just keep getting stranger and stranger.” The remaining Kakashi said. “Bullets don’t work, grenades don’t work…we’ll need something bigger.” He looked around as more S.W.A.T teams arrived from all sides of the 4-was intersection.

More teams of six or so emerged from the trucks, taking a knee on the broken ground and aiming with more of the standard issue riffles. A Lieutenant emerged from the dark blue armored truck behind them, immediately running up to Kakashi and Gai. “Sirs, you seem to be holding your fire, should we do the same?”

Gai and Kakashi looked at each other, “This is a lot of fire power, we may not have been able to do something individually but this might work.” Gai said.

Kakashi shrugged “Go ahead.”

The Lieutenant lifted two fingers and waved them toward the Nine-Tails. 24 riffles went off at once in a deafening noise and a light mist of gun smoke and falling shell casings.

“Hey guys look at this!” Konohamaru said excitedly, pointing towards the TV as Sasuke and Naruto walked into the room. “This fox is blowing stuff up.”

“Whoa!?” Naruto sat down on the bed, “Isn’t that Shikamaru? And Lee?”

“Isn’t that Kakashi and Iruka?” Sasuke asked, looking closer. “Rain started, we better hurry and get ready.”

“Yeah, when the storm get’s bad enough I’m sure people will come here looking for you.” Naruto said to Konohamaru. “Don’t you want to get anything from home before you leave?”

Konohamaru let his hands fall back on to the bed, looking out of the window towards the White-House which couldn’t really be seen from here “Nah, not really…Who’s car is that, I’ve never see it around here before.” Konohamaru rolled over so that he was on his knees and his chin was on the bed and pointed to a black car outside.

“It’s mine” Sasuke said.

Naruto looked out of the window, “Wow.”

! - ! - !

The bullets didn’t have any affect on the Nine-Tails like before. Kyuubi turned around, wiping it’s tails into the Men behind it and sent them along with their truck soaring through nearby homes. “Pull back! Get out of here!” Gai shouted, grabbing Lee and Shikamaru by the shoulder and pulling them away.

The demon was too quick, it sprang on to the truck to the left of it, smashing though the metal and erupting it into a powerful explosion. Through the flame it slashed through the surrounding men with it’s claws and sending them flying with it’s long tails.

The it growled and twitched it’s ears, before sending it’s Chakra into the other men and other two trucks along with nearby homes. Everything in a 200 foot radius went up in flames.

Luckily Gai, Kakashi, Lee, and Shikamaru were 500 feet away in-between two stores. Kakashi pulled a Cell phone out of his pocket, “We’re taking this too lightly, if guns don’t work we need something bigger.”

Lee looked up at him, “Something bigger? What’s bigger?”

Gai looked over at him in realization, “Kakashi? Are you sure about that?”

Kakashi only looked over at him, clearly going through with his plan. He lifted the phone to his ear and stuck his finger in his other ear to block out that Nine-tail’s barks and growls. “Iruka, do it.”

! - ! - !

“Is it really that serous?” Iruka asked, standing in the take off pad in front of his Air force base and leaning against a large Jet, his fighter plane. It was a chrome blue with the number ‘4477’ labeled on the side, it wasn’t the plane’s serial number. It was a marking Iruka put on himself because the numbers had some type of meaning to him.

“Yes, move fast.” Kakashi said, hanging up abruptly after a series of loud growls covered over the last of his words.

“Alright Kakashi.” Iruka sighed, climbing into the pilot seat and strapping himself in. He knew he could get in a lot of trouble if he was doing this on his own. But technically Kakashi was his commanding officer, so what he was about to do was justified. Iruka pressed a few buttons, one of them lowering the windshield over him and the other was calibrate the X-35A JSF for flying in rain settings before starting the engine.

A strong burst of air swept over the ground and the other planes on the pad as Iruka’s jet came to life and lifted into the air. Wasting no time, Iruka rose a few more feet and moved forward at gaining speeds towards the edge of the city.

! - ! - !

The sound of a distant plane could be heard over the rain on the horizon.

“What’s that?” Lee asked, looking towards the source of the sound.

“I’ll explain latter, get down.” Gai said, pushing Lee and Shikamaru to the ground as the sound seemed to pass over them.

Iruka did just that, passing over the Nine-Tails with out losing any speed, but in the process he dropped a Stinger missile which hit the demon head on. The ground erupted into a burst of flames, creating a shockwave that cascaded outward for a few 100 feet .

With the plane’s agility Iruka turned around, decelerating while he descended and landed on the street a few feet away from where the fox lay. The demon wasn’t dead, it’ had been knocked unconscious by the blast through.

They’d finished just in time, Iruka and Kakashi from the past landed with high speed next to the sleeping demon with Gaara by their side. As well as Naruto, Sasuke, Konohamaru, Neji and Kiba.

The rain became increasingly hard, quickly extinguishing any flames left as an aftermath.
