Chereads / The Masked Uzamaki / Chapter 29 - Last Fort

Chapter 29 - Last Fort

Naruto and Gaara are in a meeting. This meeting is to talk about the next step to take down the Mizukage. Mei stands in front of the room while everyone from the fort is there.

"Thanks to Naruto and Gaara assistance we only have one fortress to take down before we can countinue our push on the Mizukage. The last one is gonna be the toughest as we all are going to be helping to take it, It's also the closest one to the Mizukages last know location." Mei pointed out on a map hung on a board next to her.

"A small squadron will be sent to infiltrate the fort while the remaining fortress will come in as soon as the signal is sent." Mei told them.

"What is the purpose of the squadron, and who'll be leading it?" A man in the front asked.

"The Leader will be Naruto Uzumaki and whoever he picks, the purpose of the squadron is to take down any alarms or supporting weapons the have." Mei answered.

"What will be the signal?" A man with a weirdly small head asked. Mei sighed.

"When the job is finished they will send a messanger bird over to the woods where we will be waiting." Mei answered. "Anymore questions? Alright. Tonight we'll be setting up formations then you'll be free. Treat it as your last night." Mei finished as she walked away.

Naruto who wasn't really paying attention yawned. "Who should I pick?" Naruto wondered as he looked around.

"Naruto, Gaara. Please come to my office." Mei shouted.

"I hope I'm getting rewarded for my hard work, a little weird Gaara will be there though." Naruto thought as he walked towards Meis office. He felt a smack to the back of the head. The hit was from Gaara.

"I could feal it. Stop being stupid. She just wants to probably talk more about our rolls in this." Gaara said walking ahead of him and into the office with Naruto coming in right after.

"I've asked you guys here because I need to ask a couple things. One, is if you Naruto could not pick Gaara to infiltrate with you. I'll need his help with controlling the formations. My second is if you Gaara could be my right hand man for this?" Mei asked. Naruto and Gaara lokked at eachother and shrugged.

"Sure."

"Sure."

"Good. Naruto these are the men I want to take with you." Mei pointed to the side and he it contained three Chuunin and two Jonnin.

"I thought I got to pick?" Naruto questioned.

"Some of my partners thought you would make idiodic decisions so to ease there minds I picked for you. They are very capable, I assure you." Mei finished be fore waving her hand, telling them they could leave.

The moon was out and showed a fortress with walls seven ten feet tall. It was in an open field covered in mist, in it where at least near one hundred men. Not far away there where trees, in those trees was Naruto and behind him a small squad Mei picked out for him.

"Alright guys, where gonna in from above and drop down on the wall, there we will split into three groups, one is to take out any guards on the wall and keep eyes from above and radio anything in they see that could be worrisome, the other two is to take out any alarms and whatcha towers, and opening the gate will be my job." Naruto explained.

The group nodded. "How will we get in from above?" One of them asked. Naruto just smirked in response.

Mei and Gaara stood waiting for the signal a little farther away. Many men prepared for battle where behind them.

"So how is Naruto gonna get in?" Mei asked.

"Well there is this project hes been working on in secret he said he could use, what is it? I don't know." Gaara finished as he looked into the mist, barely able to make out the fortress through it.

______________________________________________

Naruto and his group where now on the wall while Naruto rubbed some sweat off his head the others looked at him amazed and a little frightened. "There is no way, do you think hes-" One started but got cut off by Naruto.

"Alright. Split, don't let anyone see you." Naruto looked down into the fortress and saw one gate it was surrounded by men. "How in the hell am I gonna do that without getting caught?" Naruto itched his head, but then a smile started to form.

Down below a guard was walking past a alley created by two houses then heard something thump next to him. Looking he could see a blonde head woman with no clothing as he stared in amazement she signaled for him to come over.

In the alley the guard looked her up and down but the last thing he saw was a fist and then he was knocked out, in a puff of smoke, Naruto appeared shaking his head. "One of the three things all shinobi should ignore, woman are to powerful." Naruto thought clenching his fist stepping over the unconcious man. In another puff of smoke he was now the guard.

He walked out of the alley and onto the road and towards the gate. He reached and when he was ready to radio in, but was stopped by another two guards. "Hey you! What are you doing!" One asked.

"Your not supposed to be over here!" Another said.

"Uuuhhh, I got moved?" Naruto said scratching his brown hair.

"Oh, ok. Well good luck." The two said simultaneously and walked away.

"Well that was easy, it's almost like I'm the main character of a movie blending in with stupid henchmen that don't even know how to count to five." Naruto thought as he walked up to the gate, he then radioed in his position.

"We have taken out all the alarms and the men on the whatcha towers." One replied to Naruto.

"We don't see anything else from up here, give the signal." One said. Naruto smiled.

"Meesenger bird, I have a way better idea." Naruto said.

-10 MINUTES AGO-

Naruto looked down on the fortress and something caught his eye that made him show a toothy grin. "Now that will be the signal, messenger birds are boring, this will get the message across Naruto said jumping down next to a red barrel that had the word flammable on it. "Definitely not boring."

-Present-

Mei and Gaara wait patiently for a sign of a bird before Mei gets impatient. "How long is it gonna take him to send that bird?" She asked Gaara in frustration.

"I just hope he sends one, knowing Naruto hes probably gonna completely ignore that and do something flashy." Gaara finished as a large explosion came from the fortress as well as the front gate opening.

"Told you. Let's Go!" Gaara yelled leading them with only Mei in front. Arrows flew at them but sand raised to protect them from the rush of arrows. They soon reached the wall where an all out battle began. Watching it all was Naruto, on top of a roof looking down.

"That was neccesary kid, but I loved it." Kurama said giving an air high five in his stomach.

"Well it distracted the from the gate long enough for them to get really close, plus I like explosions." Naruto said jumping of the roof onto the ground. A sword came for his head but he flicked it away before delivering a roundhouse to his attacker sending him a few feet back.

He then tilted his head dodging a kunai then five ninja surrounded him. "We heard you where the one to take down all the other forts. Impressive. To bad you die here." One of the five men said.

"You should just surrender. We are all Jonin in the Bingo book while your just some lucky dumbass." Another said.

"All at once." Another called out as they all charged. One had a sword going for and overhead swipe. Another had a spear thrusting towards Narutos left side. The third had two kunai stabbing at Narutos face while the other two had no weapons. They all met at Naruto at the same time and hit Naruto at the same time causeing a cloud of dust to surround them.

"We got the bastard!" One said with a smile but it soon disappeared when he saw where his sword was. Naruto stood there holding the fists of the two men. The spear was caught under his foot. The other mans arm holding a kunai was trapped between Naruto arm and side while Naruto caught the sword with his mouth.

The where all then blown back by a strong force of wind. They all landed on the ground. The sword and spear where destroyed while one was missing his arm and the others where missing there hands. The man without and arm was screaming in pain. It was soon stopped by a kunai piercing his skull as he dropped lifeless.

"You guys are the worst Jonnim I've ever met. Theres only one Jonnin I know that could put up a fight against me and he's no where near here." Naruto said smiling before disappearing and reappearing behind a man with no hand. His head was no longer attached to his head but they couldn't see what took it off.

The man with the broken sword looked around but could only see blurs of wind then finally he was the only one of the five Jonnin left. He felt a little breeze on his neck and turned around throwing a punch but hit nothing. Naruto was standing a little left to where he punched.

"I wouldnt do that if I was you." Naruto said dodging another punch.

"Why wouldn't I!" The man yelled throwing another punch. As it got closer he felt a sharp pain in his finger and it was slowly making it's way up his arm. He screamed as he saw his arm disappear the closer he got to Naruto.

"Dont worry it'll all get better with a hug." Naruto said grabbing the man and pulling him in for a hug as he screamed but it soon stopped. Looking down he could only see half of the mans body. "Nasty." Naruto said walking away.

"Your messed up kid." Kurama said seeing the carnage.

"You killed my parents in front of me, you the last one to talk about messed up acts.

"It's not like I wanted to!" Kurama yelled back.

"Anyway it looked like things are about wrapped up. I wonder how Gaara is doing." Naruto wondered.

Gaara dodged a punch of a man who went kept pushing towards him. Gaara kicked him back and raised his hand and reacting to it, sand raised up covering the man and he squeezed his fist causeing it to compact and all could be heard was a slight grunt of pain but nothing after. Looking around Gaara looked around and barely saw and enemy shinobi left.

"Thimg looked about wrapped up here, I wonder how Narutos doing." Gaara said as he looked up before sneezing, at that exact moment Naruto did the same.

"Retreat!" A voice called out as the enemy shinobi pulled back and ran and jumped and climbed over the walls as they ran away.

"Alright! We did it!" A man shouted as it was followed by shouts of joy.

Gaara was tapped on the shoulder and behind him was Naruto holding out his fist and it was followed by Gaaras fist bumping eachother. As they looked around they could see Mei approaching them.

"I'm so gonna get told off." Naruto said as he rubbed his finger on his head rubbing it.

"Good work. We won and a lot of its thanks to both of your efforts. Dont celebrate to long though as we still need to March on the Mist village as that's the last place the Mizukage has under his rule." Mei said starting to walk away. "Oh, and Naruto. Don't hit on some innocent woman tonight, I trust you Gaara to keep him out of trouble." She finished walking away.

"The last fort, finally. I'm tired." Naruto yawned.

"You barely did anything though." Gaara looked at Naruto.

"Hey. Do you know how much every it takes to act!" Naruto shouted.

"We all heard the conversation. Those guys where just idiots, but I'm tired to so let's get a good night's rest Gaara said walking away. Naruto nodded, but when Gaara walked away Naruto quickly walked out of the for and opened a seal and in his hand was kunai.

"I almost got it dad. I promise I'll complete it." Naruto said looking into the sky.
