Kiri War Part 1

Once they were inside Mei introduced her right and left hand man to them all, Chōjūrō a member of the new seven swordsmen of Kiri and Ao a former anbu of Kiri. Mei then went into detail and explained the current situation they were in and what problems that they were facing. The main concern is that they are out numbered 5 to 1 and that they don't have a lot of supplies to last for much longer.

Naruko then explained more on who she was and some of her abilities. Also having Anko and Gaara give some more information about themselves to the group. "So based on what you have told me you have about 2 months left before you basically are out of supplies unless a third party helps you?" Naruko asked to which Mei nodded.

"Yes, sadly I've requested help from all the major villages but none of them responded to me and the ones that did said that they couldn't get involved in our civil war. I just want to bring this needless killing to an end once and for all and bring peace to my village." Mei explained with clear passion in her voice.

"Well you're in luck then that Zabuza met me when he did then. Now let's get down to logistics. What we need to do is to draw Yagura out then I can deal with him. Being a jinchuuriki myself I'll be able to take him on head to head, not to mention that I'm a high level seal master. All I'll need to do is apply a chakra suppressant seal on him and then the rest will be easy." Naruko said with a smile on her face.

"Hmph as if it would be that easy little girl, it's not Yagura that we are really worried about because even Mei-sama can handle him for the most part. It's his shinobi force that is the problem since they outnumber us so much we can't engage them for an extended period of time without suffering extreme losses." Ao explained in his gruff voice and a stern tone.

"I see the problem and I have the perfect solution for it…. My little brother Gar-kun is perfect for situations like this given the jutsus that he knows and special abilities that he has." Looking toward Gaara. "Would you do that for me Gar-kun, would you fight and kill an army for me, your precious big sister?" Naruko asked while grabbing Gaara's arm and snuggling into it.

Gaara didn't even need to think about it for a moment "Of course big sis, I'd do anything for you. Even if I have to kill everyone in the entire world to protect you I'd do it without hesitation." Gaara said, making Naruko give Gaara a kiss on the cheek making him smile.

"Aww aren't you just the sweetest thing." Naruko said while showing how happy she was hearing Gaara.

'Sweet that was clearly something a psychotic path would say.' were the thought of everyone there, even Anko was taken back a little bit hearing how far Gaara would go to protect Naruko.

Coughing to get everyone's attention on herself "So what are you going to do, send your little brother against a whole shinobi force?" Mei asked with clear confusion on her face and a bit worried if that was Naruko's plan.

"While that would be fun to watch it would be a little too much for Gar-kun to handle all of them by himself. The plan is rather simple, we will use seals to even the odds. I'll show them why the Uzumaki were so feared that it took three villages to take them out." Naruko then explained what her plan was to everyone there.

The plan was basically having Mei act as bait to draw out Yagura and his forces to her while Naruko set up seals everywhere that would thin their forces out. Naruko planned on using a type of seal that would act like a landmine so when someone stepped on it an explosion would take place and it would be a Uzumaki version of the explosion tag meaning they were bigger and stronger. She was also going to use a genjutsu type seal that would provide a false surrounding in such a way that unless someone was a master genjutsu user or a sensor they wouldn't notice it. This way they can set up deadly traps without them noticing before it was too late.

Gaara would then engage the ones that made it through all the traps with his iron sand further thinning them out and forcing Yagura to act if he wanted to save his forces. They would then have the rebellion forces engage them with Gaara while Naruko will attack Yagura when he shows up, with Mei acting as her support.

They then went over a couple more details and ended up spending hours figuring out where they should engage Yagura and his forces and marking where the traps should be laid to cause the most damage.

It's been a few days since Naruko, Anko, and Gaara have arrived and they finally figured out where they would have their last clash with Yagura and started setting up the traps and seals secretly so as to not alert any of Yagura's forces. Naruko got along great with Mei since her personality is similar to her own in some ways.

Naruko has been teaching Rikku and Fuka the Uzumaki sealing art in their free time and was pleased to see that they were progressing quickly which made sense since it was in their blood. As for Anko, she has been training with everyone and teasing all the men she came across for the fun of it, causing all kinds of problems in the camp, not that she cared.

Naruko also spent more time with Zabuza and Haku. She trained her kenjutsu with Zabuza when she had time as for Haku she spent time learning about all the different types of plants that could be used for poison and healing since Haku was extremely knowledgeable about them. As for Gaara he actually got along well with Chōjūrō since they both had similar goals with wanting to protect someone important to them, with Gaara being Naruko and Chōjūrō being Mei.

Now we can see Mei and her group with Naruko and her own group standing atop a hill overlooking all of the rebellion's forces. "We stand here today together as one to finally put an end to Yagura and his tyrant rule over Kirigakure. With the help of our new allies, we now have the means to combat his full force and finally put down Yagura once and for all and put our village back onto the right path and wipe away our disgrace as being known as the bloody mist village. I'm proud to fight by your side today and when we win we will celebrate but for now get yourselves ready for battle." Mei yells out making all the shinobi down below give out a war cry and then start to scatter and get to work getting ready for when Yagura and his forces arrive.

Giving a small clap from behind Mei "Now that was a rather beautiful speech there Mei-chan don't you think guys?" Naruko asked while everyone else nodded their heads in agreement. "Now Mei-chan it is time to go and be our sexy bait so why don't you go be a damsel in distress for us with Chojuro." Mei just gave Naruko a wink and blew her a kiss before she walked away with Chōjūrō behind her who bowed to everyone before he left. She left Ao in charge of the camp while she was gone.

Once Mei and Chojuro were gone "Do you really think that this plan will work little princess?" Rikku asked

"There is nothing to worry about Rikku even if plan A doesn't work there is always plan B." Naruko said back.

"Oh and what would plan B be Naruko-sama?" Haku asked for everyone since she was sure that they were all curious what it was.

Showing a grin to everyone "It's simple Haku-chan, I'm going to wing it." Once Naruko was done saying this everyone gave Naruko a disbelieving look to her even Gaara because that basically wasn't a plan at all.

"I feel like I have made a terrible mistake asking for your help now." Zabuza said while facepalming himself.

"Now Zabuza don't be such a downer, it will all work out in the end. Let's just make sure that plan A works out then we won't have to worry about anything kay." Naruko said, patting the man on the shoulder.

"Well people I believe that it's time that we all got into position so come along Fuka, Rikku." Anko said while she grabbed both Fuka and Rikku's hands and started dragging them away. The two just waved at the others as they were leaving.

Stretching for a moment "Well Anko-chan is right no time like the present to get ready. Good luck everyone with your task and remember to have some fun out there." Naruko then walked away with Gaara following behind her.

The time had finally come for Yagura and his forces to end this rebellion because they had finally tracked where Mei and her forces were at from the scouts he sent out. While he was suspicious on how easy it was to find them now of all times he didn't worry too much about it because he knew that his forces had more than enough numbers to overwhelm Mei and her forces. He didn't mind sacrificing his forces if he could finally end the rebellion once and for all.

Yagura and his forces are right on the edge of the forest that Naruko and the others set up all the traps and seals "Mizukage-sama right on the other side of this forest is the rebellions forces led by that traitor Mei Terumi. How do you want to attack them?" One of the shinobi in the room asked while kneeling on the group.

Looking down at the kneeling shinobi "I want you to go full force and send everyone at them. I want this little rebellion taken care of as soon as possible. We have already wasted enough time fighting these traitors." Yagura said in a serious tone.

"But Mizukage-sama wouldn't it be dangerous to send everyone like that. What if they set up some kind of trap for us or something?" The kneeling shinobi voiced out trying to get his leader to reconsider his actions. If they did what he wanted they may lose more men and women then needed something that he didn't want.

Sadly Yagura didn't care about the casualties and only wanted results. "Are you the Mizukage or am I?" Yagura said while he was releasing his chakra and killing intent, making the shinobi in the room have cold sweat and start to shake from the pressure.

"N-n-no of course not Mizukage-sama…. Your will, will be done my lord." The kneeling shinobi said quickly while putting his head on the ground trying to calm Yagura down or he risked dying a horrible death. It wouldn't be the first time that he had done this to one of his shinobi that questioned him.

"Then do what I asked otherwise suffer the consequences. Now get out of my sight all of you." Yagura waved his hand then all of the shinobi disappeared to do what they were ordered but shortly after they left Yagura held his head like he was having a major headache with both of his hands. This went on for about five minutes, if someone saw Yagura right now they would notice that something was clearly wrong with him with all the shaking that he was doing right now.

Then a horn was blown that signified that start of the last battle alerting everyone that it was time to decide who the true leader of Kirigakure will be.
