18 Heading to the village (2/2)

”Here, carry him and follow me,” Naruto said throwing Gaara over to them and picked Sasuke and Sakura from the side. Putting both of them over in his shoulder Naruto started to walk towards the Village.

Temari and Kankuro looked at each other and agreed to follow the kid. They could choose to run but they had a feeling that the plan would fail before they could turn their feet in the opposite direction.

Along the way Naruto and co. met up with Asuma and Shikamaru along with few passed out Sound Shinobi.

”Naruto!” Shikamaru's surprised yell drew Asuma's as he looked at the blonde kid who had raised a storm in the village with his disappearance. The after effect of the storm was still present today.

”Ah great. Here take them I'll head back to the village first. There seems to a huge problem ahead.” Naruto quickly gave Sasuke and Sakura to Asuma and flew towards the village leaving both Asuma and Shikamaru gobsmacked.

It was the first time seeing someone fly in the air without any support for Shikamaru and Asuma had heard The Third Tsuchikage could fly with the help of gravity and weight manipulation but he had yet to see this feat with his own eyes.

Asuma took out a cigarette and light it up seeing Naruto leave in a hurry and made Temari and Kankuro walk in front of them with he guarding the back. For now, the three siblings were prisoners of war.

Naruto made sure Gaara wouldn't be waking up anytime soon as he didn't want Shukaku to run amok again. With his eagle vision, he could already see the fights happening in the village from the air.

Bodies littered on the streets and rooftop, it was the first time Naruto had seen a bloody battlefield. Naruto in the series was made to be a little family friendly so there wasn't much blood and gore in the anime. And the only kill recorded for Naruto was Yura from Sand village and to be honest, not many people would even remember that he killed him.

Corpses with blood all over the body some having multiple kunai and shuriken stabbed in their body while some killed by ninjutsu. There were some unfortunate ones to die without being in one piece but this was war.

Although it was shown overshadowed by Hiruzen's fight and Naruto's summoning of Gammabunta in the anime, the truth was many people died in this attack as it was not a random gang fight in the neighborhood. It was not an act of terrorism, it was an act of war.

Some civilians and many Shinobi, blood was shed and it was the truth. Naruto's sword cut apart a Sand Shinobi was going to kill a random civilian in the street during his fight with Konoha Shinobi. It was not intentional in Sand Shinobi's part but the unfortunate soul just happened to be on the way.

Naruto had slashed his sword countless times but this was the first time he felt his sword cutting through someone's flesh. His hand shivered for a moment but the force remained as the body was cut in two. Sand or Sound village Shinobi all were human but for now, Naruto could only see them as a fish in the chopping board and continued his slaughter towards the Hokage battle.
