Nine-Tailed Fox and Cherry Blossom

By dbzgtfan2004

 

Hi again. I'm back with chapter 3. Thanks again for the reviews. If anybody were confused with what Kyuubi said about Orochimaru sealing him. I made a bad choice in words. I know that the fourth hokage sealed the Kyuubi into Naruto but I meant during the time in the Forest of Death in which Orochimaru used the five-pronged seal to seal the Kyuubi's chakra. Sorry about that. Anyways it's the moment you've been waiting for. 3 years later and Orochimaru's invasion. Enjoy.

 

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and I never will. Don't sue.

Chapter 3

3 Years Later

 

3 years have past since Naruto and Jiraiya have left to train and today's the day they return. All of the teachers and students have trained for this day. The day Orochimaru invades.

 

Deep within a house, a certain pink haired girl wakes up to greet the day. 18 year old Sakura Haruno to be exact. She has developed for the past 3 years and her curves filled out perfectly. It will make a certain Naruto turn his head in a heartbeat. She gets up and puts on her clothes and walks down the street towards Ino's flower shop. When she walks by, she hears something she didn't want to hear.

 

“Hello, forehead girl.” Ino greeted with a smirk.

 

“Oh shut up, Ino Pig.” Sakura retorted.

 

“Hey isn't today the day he shows up?” Ino says

 

“Naruto” Sakura blushes

 

“Ha! I knew it. You do have a crush on him don't you?” Ino gloats

 

“S-so what if I do? Why do you care?” Sakura retorts

 

“I remember we used to fight over Sasuke but since he's with Orochimaru that's ancient history now. Naruto actually comforted you after he left.” Ino says

 

“You're right. Let's go.” Sakura says as she runs towards the gate.

 

“Right.” Ino follows

 

They arrive to see all the groups and their teachers waiting for Naruto and Jiraiya's return. Everybody has developed well and has increased their attacks.

 

“Hi Kakashi, how have you been?” Sakura asks

 

“I've been good. Reading my book as usual.” Kakashi says as he pulls out Make-Out Paradise

 

“Typical Kakashi.” Sakura sweat drops

 

Everybody was talking among themselves until Hinata sees something in the distance.

 

“Hey look.” Hinata points

 

Everybody looks especially Sakura to see who was coming. They were so excited as it comes closer and closer but when it came into view everybody had disappointed and stupefied when a frog with a note in its mouth shows up.

 

“Hey what's this?” Tsunade takes the letter from the frog's mouth and reads.

 

“Dear guys,

 

Sorry I couldn't come right away. I wanted to do a little more training. Don't worry I'll return as soon as I can.

Sincerely,

Naruto Uzumaki

 

“It seems he wants to train more. But he will return soon enough.” Tsunade says after she read the letter.

 

Everybody was disappointed and they left.

 

“I can't believe Naruto wants to train more. Oh well he'll return.” Sakura thought.

 

When Sakura was about to leave, she sees 3 shadows in the distance.

 

“Hey, there's somebody coming!” Sakura yells

 

Everybody heard Sakura and they see who is coming. As soon as the three shadows came into view, they notice it was Gaara, Temari and Kankuro. They're wondering why the sand siblings are here?

 

“What are you guys doing here?” Sakura asks

 

“We came to help you guys fight against Orochimaru. We had enough of that bastard and want him dead.” Temari says

 

“Hey, where's Naruto?” Gaara asks

 

“He went to train for 3 years and we got a letter saying he'll be training for a little bit longer but he'll return.” Tsunade says

 

So can we help you guys?” Kankuro asks

 

“Of course you can. We need more fighters.” Rock Lee says

 

“Great. Let's go guys.” Temari says as the sand siblings walk inside the town.

 

The group leaves and does their usual things but what they don't know is what's in store for them.

 

Meanwhile in Orochimaru's Hideout

 

“Today's the day we invade Konoha and take my rightful place as Hokage.” Orochimaru says

 

The Sand and Sound ninjas cheer while Sasuke and Kabuto just lean against the wall silent.

 

“You guys know what to do. Oh and Sasuke?” Sasuke looks “I have a special mission for you. I want you to go and kidnap Sakura for me so I can lure Naruto to me. You got it?” Orochimaru asks

 

“Yes I do.” Sasuke says with an emotionless look

 

“Good. Now let's move out!” Orochimaru says as they disappear.

 

Everybody has been doing their daily routines but what they don't know is a bunch of Grass ninjas are hiding in the buildings waiting for their moment. All of a sudden, an explosion erupts at the wall making it crumble and make a hole. A bunch of Sand and Sound ninjas as well as a bunch of snakes go though the hole. The invasion has begun.

 

Anybody who was in the streets has been sent to their homes so nobody gets hurt or killed. The only people standing are Sakura, Tsunade, Kakashi, the students and their teachers. The Sound and Sand were about to attack but a whole bunch of blurs came down from their hiding places revealing Grass ninjas and now the attacking has begun.

 

Bodies fall and blood splatters everywhere as Sand, Sound and Grass ninjas get killed every which way. Shikamaru uses his Shadow Possession Jutsu against a bunch of Sand and Sound and skewers them with kunai and shuriken making them fall dead. Shino is surrounded by Sand but he sics his insects on them and ate up the sand ninja. A horrendous sight to see.

 

A bunch of sand and sound ninja surround Gaara.

 

“I see you've betrayed us. Not a smart thing to do.” A Sand Ninja says

 

“I'm afraid we have to kill you.” A Sound Ninja says

 

“I'm afraid not. A friend saved me from my inner demon and I won't let you take my chance away with meeting him!” Gaara says with a menacing look in his eyes.

 

He lifts his hands and a bunch of sand surrounds the Sand and Sound. They panic and yell for help.

 

“Too bad. Good bye. Sabaku SÅsÅ (Desert Funeral).” Gaara says as he closes his fists

 

The Sand and Sound scream out in pain as the sand crushes them and blood splatters out rendering them dead.

 

“Don't mess with me.” Gaara says

 

Everybody else kills off the Sand and Sound but Sakura is in big trouble. She is surrounded by a bunch of Sand and Sound. She can't do anything since she doesn't know any powerful jutsus. One of them approaches her.

 

“Our master wants us to take you in. Come along with us and you won't get hurt.” A Sand Ninja says

 

“No I don't want to come with a bunch of bastards like you.” Sakura says

 

Everybody stops what they're doing and looks at Sakura.

 

“Sakura!” Ino yells

 

“You're coming with us whether you like it or not.” Sand Ninja says as he grabs her arm

 

“Let go of me! I don't want to go.” Sakura says struggling

 

“Stop struggling you brat!” Sand Ninja says keeping his grip

 

“No! Stop!” Sakura says

 

“Let's go.” Sand Ninja says

 

“No!” Sakura says

 

As they keep struggling, a kunai come out of nowhere and pierces the Sand Ninja in the forehead. He loosens his grip and falls dead.

 

“Who the hell did that?” A Sound Ninja asks looking around.

 

Everybody looks around until Sakura looks up and sees a shadow.

 

“Hey, look up there.” Sakura points at the shadow.

 

Everybody looks up and sees the shadow and they were shocked and happy who they saw. The shadow reveals itself none other than Naruto Uzumaki. He has developed a nice muscle tone and has a determined look on his face. He looks handsome with the cherry blossoms blowing.

 

“Naruto!” Sakura cries happily

 

Naruto leaps down the building and ends up between the dead ninja and Sakura. Everybody was surprised how Naruto lands at that height.

 

“Are you alright, Sakura?” Naruto asks

 

“Yeah.” Sakura blushes

 

Naruto takes the kunai out of the dead ninja's head and looks at the Sand and Sound with an angry look.

 

“Nobody messes with my friends and gets away with it!” Naruto says
