Sasuke stared at the village of Konoha, at the shadows moving about so easily without a clue to their fate. Chakra signatures placed the population easily over what he remembered, but no matter. He would savour destroying them all. His army was restless, ready for the assault. But he held them back, wanting to wait for nightfall, wanting the element of surprise on his side.
Too bad his rival had already stolen it from him.
Hinata bounded carefully along the perimeter wall, revitalized the chakra tags tied onto the practice dummies. She was careful to stay within Neji’s own chakra field, which allowed her to remain invisible to any prying eyes. Finished, she leapt from the wall and hurried back to her cousin. The Konoha and Suna jounin were gathered in the courtyard of the Academy, almost five thousand strong. All had a common goal, and all were friends in some way or another. She took hold of Neji’s arm as she sidled up to him, carefully closer to her cousin. Neji simply tolerated the touch because she was Hinata and if he didn’t Hiashi would probably kick his ass.
“Where’s Naruto?” she asked. Neji shrugged.
“Same place as Gaara, I suppose.”
Kiba and Shino walked over, followed quickly by the rest of the Rookie Nine and the two Sand Siblings. They spoke in quiet tones, just as hushed as the other jounin around them, trying to figure out what was going on.
The traps were set, everyone knew the plan and who’s back to watch. So why weren’t they deployed yet?
“Because,” Sakura said quietly, “he’s giving us a chance to leave.”
“Idiot should know better.” Kiba growled. Akamaru whuffed in agreement.
“It’s Naruto-kun,” Hinata said. “You know he hates the needless sacrifice of life.”
“The kid's got a brain, I’ll tell you that.” Kankurou said softly. “this is quite the elaborate plan.”
“I’m glad you guys approve so much,” Naruto quipped as he and Gaara appeared in the courtyard. Kankurou shrugged.
“Just know that if you die, we’re going to kill you.” Sakura relied cheerily.
Naruto laughed. “You’ll have to wait until Kyuubi and Shukaku are done with us.”
Gaara nudged Naruto. “It’s time.”
The blonde nodded and moved to stand where all could see him, which meant the five foot six blonde had to stand on the swing. All eyes, Suna and Konoha, turned to him.
“Look,” Naruto started, “I’m not good at speeches. You know the plan – stick to it word for word. Tsunade’s acting as bait, so you have to protect all the routes to her. On the streets and roofs. The traps should take out plenty, but they won’t be his best. Don’t waste your chakra on them; wait for Sasuke’s shinobi. Take out the legs to he army and leave the head to Gaara and I.”
“Retreat when you see the flare.” Gaara’s quiet voice filtered into the night air. “Get into the Forest of Death and make for the Tower. Do not stop and do not come back until sunrise.”
No one questioned the orders from the jinchuuriki pair. They simply nodded and vanished to their posts, each ready to guard each other’s backs and made sure everyone got out alive.
Naruto looked at Gaara. “Ready?”
Gaara’s lips quirked. “Are you?”
Naruto shook his head and disappeared.
