Chapter 24 - Taking Down A Fortress

Naruto and Gaara split. Naruto heads down the wall while Gaara stayed to take out and replace the guards on it Naruto lands in a bush behind to guards. They stand next to eachother talking about their prisoners.

Naruto took out two kunai with one in each hand. Naruto shoved one kunai in each one of their necks while simultaneously grabbing them from behind and covering their mouths while slowly setting them in the bush.

Naruto created two clones to copy the two guards appearances. "Gaara. Do you have any idea where they could be keeping the prisoners?" Naruto asked as he watch two more guards approach.

"I think I might. The big building in the back. It's heavily guarded." Gaara told Naruto.

The base was set up with four large walls in a square. The gate was in the the front while the big building was in the back. The rest of the base was filled with small or medium sized huts and buildings for the guards.

"I'll make my way back there. You should worry about any remaining guards I don't take out." Naruto said as the other two guards reached his possision.

"Hey. Time to switch out." One man said. The clones looked at eachother and nodded. They bothe took a kunai a stabbed them into the men's throat while covering there mouths and laying their bodies in the bush.

"Ok. We studied their patrol patterns from the outside. See what you can find out about the ones inside." Naruto ordered as he jumped on top of a small building he was next to. He was about thirty feet away from him. Naruto jumped to a larger building next to him grabbing the ledge bit not pulling himself up.

Another guard walked up to Narutos spot. When he reached it Naruto grabbed his foot and pulled making him fall on his back. Naruto quickly climbed up and covered his mouth before quickly stabbing him in the throat.

-Gaara-

Gaara drops a now dead man on the ground as he makes a clone to take his place. He then jumps down behind a building that's next to the wall. Gaara looks through a window. Inside are five men. "Easy." Gaara thought.

Gaara raised his hand while on the inside sand quickly made it's way in. The sand made it's way up the men and into their mouths muffling them as more sand surrounded each of them. Gaara closed his hand. "Sand Coffin." Gaara said as the sand squished the men to death.

Gaara climbed the building and looked at Naruto deaignated location. "Naruto. I've got a closer looke at the building. They are definitely holding the prisoners there. I can see them torturing one now." Gaara said.

"Ok good. Change of plans. We both are storming the building together. There are a lot of guards and we need to work together." Naruto told Gaara.

"Why? We both are capable of doing it by ourselves." Gaara asked. Gaara was grabbed from behind with a kunai put to his throat.

"Because o have to watch your back." Naruto said as he let Gaara go. Gaara just rolled his eyes.

"I say we go in from the top floor. There are a lot of window plus it seems the bottom is more guarded." Gaara suggested.

"Agreed. I'll take the left side you go right." Naruto said jumping off with Gaara following.

The building was set up a a rectangular shape. It was two stories high. The first floor was one big open area with weapons, guards, and stairs heading down into the ground. The second floor had many rooms in it. All of them had one window to each room.

The last floor had the stairs come up on the right side of the floor. The floor had rooms on both side of the the floor with one hallway connecting it all. A window on each side of the hall. Naruto on the left with Gaara on the right.

Naruto and Gaara see eachother and nod while opening both windows. Naruto and Gaara silently climb in and go to the first room. Naruto puts his ear up to the door while sniffing the air. Gaara tries to seek out chakra signatures.

There are eleven rooms. Each one has two off duty guards in them. They both open the door to the room they are at and take the two guards out quietly. They repeat this process until finally cleaning out the floor.

The both leave through the windows they came in and walk down the walls and look in the windows. There is no one on this floor. Then it comes to the first floor. There are five active guards out side while there are six inside. The door is shut and the but the windows are open.

Naruto jumps to the ground while Gaara climbs in the building on the second floor. Naruto hides behind a corner and makes a clone. He whistles attracting the guards. The first one goes around the corner. Naruto grabs him and slits his throat then let's his clone take the body to hide it. Naruto walk back around the corner.

"Was there anything?" A man asked. Naruto shakes his head.

"It's time for is to check out. Let's go to the third floor and get them up so we can sleep." Another one says as they walk inside while Naruto follows. The four walk upstairs while Naruto stays.

The men downstairs look at him puzzled. "Is there a problem?" One asked. Naruto walks towards the windows and closes all of them before locking the door. Naruto turns around and smirks before puffing back into his normal self.

"Oh shit!" One yelled. He threw a kunai at Naruto but Naruto dosged it. Naruto blitzed the man and ended up beside him. He stabbed him once in the heart and then through the bottom of his jaw before throwing him into another guard. Naruto dodged a kick form one.

"Wind Style! Great Breakthrough!" Naruto yelled and waved his hand. A cripple of wind shot at the man and cut him in half. Another guard through a kunai while another guard charged from behind. Naruto caught the ku air and spun around and ducked under a high kick.

Naruto stabbed the kunai into the back of the mans knee cap making him fall and Naruto kicked him across the room as he fell. "Three down, three to go." Naruto said looking at the rest.

"I'm going to kill you!" One yelled.

"Yeah whatever. Here is your chance to run or you end up like them." Naruto warned.

"We are not leaving without your head!" One yelled.

"I tried." Naruto shrugged before blurring out of his place and next to a guard. He punched him in the face and then dodged a kick from another. The third one throws a kunai at Naruto but Naruto dodges by side stepping and then throws his own that hits the man in the chest.

Naruto blocks a punch while catching a kick, he then spins and throws both of them against a wall hard enough to break their backs upon hitting the wall. Naruto takes out two kunai an throws them both at one of them hitting him in the heart and head then looks at the other one.

"Hey. I warned you. I'll give you another chance though. If I ever see you doing something like this again. I'll shove your head up someomes ass." Naruto warned as he hear the ceiling creak. The ceiling folded in a Gaara came through it on top of another man.

"I see you did well." Gaara said looking at the men."

"Yep. Why did you come through the ceiling?" Naruto asked.

"I got carried away. Now why dont you go look for the prisoners while I take guard." Gaara said puffing out his chest.

"So heroic." Naruto said sarcastically as he walked down the stairs nearby. Naruto walked into a dark stinky room. Naruto could see a little but decided to turn on the lights witch nearby. He then saw a jail cell full of men. They looked like they haven't eaten or drunken in a couple of days. Naruti then approached the cell.

"Hello. I'm here to help you. I'm with the resistance." Naruto told them as he approached the cell. The men stepped back a little. Naruto reached the cell and bent down on one knee while looking a the lock. He squeezed it in his hand crushing it and then opened the door.

"P-please. You must get the woman." One of them pleaded.

"Where are they?" Naruto asked.

"They are further down the hallway."O. eman said. Naruto nodded and walked down the long hallway. He then came upon another room. It was at the end of the hallway. It was big wooden door with a lock on it and Naruto could pick up very familiar smell.

"Lust." Naruto almost gagged. He then broke the lock and opened the door to a dark room. He could see in it a little. He noticed something flying at him and caught it. It was a Rock. Naruto made his way in dodging a couple of more rocks, he then found the light switch.

Naruto turned the lights on but disgusted to what he saw. There was a wall filled with woman chained up by their ankles. There where also ones for hands but they where probably made for other reasons. Some woman where fully clothed while some where have clothed while some had nothing. They each had gags in there mouths.

"That's probably why they didnt speak." Naruto thought to himself. Naruto cautiously approached them while dodging some rocks. The woman ranged from his age to thirty. Older or younger must have been put in a different area. Naruto reached a woman with torn pants. She had no shirt and messy hair she went to punch Naruto but he caught it.

"Its ok. I'm not here to do anything but help you." Naruto told her. He removed the gag on her mouth.

"Then why the hell are you here!" She screamed punching at him again. Naruto again caught the other fist.

"I'm here with the resistance. We're here to rescue you." Naruto told her. "Do you know where the keys are to your restraints?" Naruto asked.

"They're on the table over there." She pointed to a table across the room. Naruto turned and walked over to it only to be pelted in the head by five rocks. Naruto sighed and picked up the keys on the table and handed them to the woman.

"I'll be back with some clothes. Go ahead and get the rest of them free." Naruto said walking away. Naruto walked back up the stairs and into the first floor where the men all stood. Naruto made his way over to the guy he left alive and kicked him in the face before raising him against the wall.

"Where are the old and young woman at?" Naruto asked as he placed a kunai the mans genitals.

"T-They got there own spot on the other side of the base. Please don't hurt me." The man pleaded. Naruto smirked.

"I won't, but they might." Naruto said throwing the man over to the group of men who Naruto saved. "Gaara. Let's go and deal with the rest of them." Naruto said kicking one the door to see a group of men walking their way. It was about twenty guys.

"Who are you?" One of them asked.

"The last person you're ever going to see." Naruto said. The group laughed.

"Oh yeah. You and what army?" The man asked.

"I only need him." Naruto said pointing at Gaara. Gaara nodded and raised his hand trapping the men in a sand of coffin before closing his hand leaving the men to their deaths. The scream of the men attracted the rest of the base.

One by one more and more guards arrived to the screams of the men. They saw bloddy sand and two figures standing in front of them.

"Whoever you are. We'll spare you if you give up now, well as long as you don't have a bloodline or anything." He chuckled.

"No. We're good." Naruto responded.

"There are a lot of us then there are you." The man spoke up again.

"You might have numbers, but when it comes to strength, we both outmatched all of you." Naruto said as his hair started to blow. The air became moist as sparks came from his eyes.

"You die today kid! Charge!" The man yelled as the men behind him charged. There where about forty men in all. Naruto charged and Gaara raised both of his hands creating a beam that brought Naruto up. Naruto then jumped off the beam and raised his right hand as the sparks in his eyes went crazy.

"You've been meaning to try this. I hope it works." Kurama said inside Narutos head.

"Lightning Style! Zuezes Strike!" Naruto yelled. A large lightning bolt appeared in Narutos hand. Naruto then threw it towards the men. It collided with the people in front killing five of them while electrocuting six people behind them.

"Water Style! Tsunamis Rush!" Naruto yelled as he brought his hands together sending water from the surrounding water into the crowd. It collided with the electrified people in front killing them to the combined power of Lightning and water while it knocked everyone else back doing heavy amounts of damage to the surrounding buildings.

"Wind Style! Wind Sword!" Narutos lastly called out. Naruto raised his right hand and formed a very long sword made of wind. Naruti brought it down towards the men killing eight of them.

The hirt men get up clutching there chests and guts from the force of the previous water blast. "How could you do such powerful jutsus and be fine like It didn't happen?" One asked.

"I'm awesome." Naruto shrugged.

"Sand Dome!" Gaara called out. Ten men where surrounded in a dome of sand in complete darkness. "Sand Spikes!" Gaara the made spikes come rushing from under the dome and out the top killing everyone in there.

"Lightinig Style! Lighting Spike!" Naruto yelled. Naruto drew his arm back and shot it foward towards a man. A bolt of lightning shout out his arm and went through two men and on the third one it exploded electrocuting him to death.

"Please! Spare us!" One yelled.

"Wimd Style! Thumder Clap!" Naruto clapped his hands sending a large blast of wind it everyone and send them flying back into the wall killing four of them.

"Sand Serpeant!" Gaata yelled. A snake made of sand flew at the rest and connected with them, crushing them under the force of it. Naruto went back to his normal form.

"You're getting really good at useing that cloak." Gaara complemented Naruto.

"Yeah. Still hurts after I use it but I don't mind, now let's go get the rest." Naruto said walking towards their designated location.

-An hour later-

Naruto stands in front Mei. They found the rest of the prisoners. They brought the woman clothes and food. There job was done.

"Great job. I'm glad they sent us someone capable for this. I'll have to thank the Hokage and Sannin personally after this." Mei said.

"No need. Thank The Vilkage Hidden In The Whirpools. I'm the Kage of that village actually." Naruto said smugly.

"At such a young age. Congratulations." Mei said. "Meet me at the same spot tomorrow at the same time. You can stay in town since no one will recognize you. Thank you again."Mei said walking off.

"I don't know about you Gaara, but I'm gonna get wasted and laid tonight." Naruto stretched.

"Me too." Gaara and Naruto fist bumped as they walked back.
