Chapter 60 - 60. Who are those two?

(B300; Guys, We are out of the Top 10, Give me your Powerstones!, Also, in all time list we are only at 83th Position, Let's aim for the Top 60 in that list:)

"Sora!" Kakashi called out, his Sharingan eye uncovered and spinning wildly. "We need to contain this situation. Can you create a clone to track down the ANBU Commander?, You probably know where he generally resides"

Sora nodded, his hands already forming the necessary signs. In a puff of smoke, an exact replica of the red-headed boy appeared. "You know what to do," Sora said to his clone, who nodded before disappearing in a blur of motion, using Body Flicker and Shape-shifting Jutsu to decrease his weight and increase his mobility.

One of the enemies tried to stop him but Guy fended him off.

As the clone sped off on its mission, Sora turned his attention back to the battle at hand. His eyes narrowed as he observed the purple barrier on the roof. "Kakashi-sensei," he said, ducking under a wild swing from an enemy ninja, "I think I might be able to create a seal to disrupt that barrier. But I'll need some time and cover."

Kakashi's visible eye widened slightly in surprise before crinkling in what might have been a smile. "Ambitious as always, I see. Alright, Guy and I will cover you. Do what you need to do."

With a nod of thanks, Sora began making his way towards the barrier, Kakashi and Guy clearing a path through the chaos. As they neared their destination, a figure in an ANBU mask suddenly appeared before them, blocking their path.

"Hold it right there," the masked ninja said, his voice oddly familiar.

Guy's eyes narrowed. "Something's not right here. That mask... You don't seem like a Youthful person"

Before anyone could react, the impostor ANBU launched into an attack, his hands glowing with chakra. Kakashi met him head-on, their kunai clashing in a shower of sparks.

"Go!" Kakashi shouted to Sora. "We'll handle this one!"

Sora hesitated for just a moment before nodding and dashing past the ongoing skirmish. As he reached the location, he glanced up at the shimmering barrier above. His mind raced, analyzing the chakra flow and structure of the jutsu.

"Okay," he muttered to himself, pulling out a brush and ink. "Let's see if we can't crack this thing open."

Anbus beside him already knew him as he has on multiple occasion coloured their headquarters in various colours of paint.

"You guys, Cover me! My clone had gone to fetch the Anbu Commander"

As Sora began work on his seal, the battle raged on around him. Inside the barrier, the Third Hokage found himself face to face with his former student, Orochimaru. The Snake Sannin's laughter echoed across the rooftop, chilling in its madness.

"Oh, how I've waited for this moment, Sarutobi-sensei," Orochimaru hissed, his long tongue flicking out in anticipation. "Shall we begin?"

The Hokage's eyes hardened as he settled into a fighting stance. "I should have ended this years ago, Orochimaru. I won't make that mistake again."

As their battle began, a dark shadow fell over the arena. Looking up, the combatants were shocked to see a massive three-headed snake crashing through Konoha's protective wall, its roar shaking the very foundations of the village.

Amidst the chaos and destruction, Sora worked feverishly on his seal, his small hands moving with a precision born of countless hours of practice. He knew that the fate of the village, and perhaps the entire shinobi world, hung in the balance.

"Just a little more," he muttered, sweat beading on his brow. "Hold on, Lord Third. Help is on the way."

But even as Sora raced against time, he couldn't shake the feeling that this invasion was just the beginning of something much larger and more terrifying. The true test of Konoha's strength was yet to come...

As Sora's hands moved swiftly, creating intricate patterns with his brush and ink, the sounds of battle raged around him. Explosions rocked the arena, and the clanging of metal on metal filled the air. Despite the chaos, the young prodigy remained focused on his task, knowing that breaking the barrier was crucial to saving the Third Hokage.

Sora nodded without looking up from his work. "Good. Tell Kakashi-sensei. We need to time this perfectly."

The clone disappeared to relay the message, leaving Sora to put the finishing touches on his seal. As he worked, he could hear the sounds of intense combat coming from within the barrier. The Third Hokage was giving it his all against Orochimaru, but even from this distance, Sora could tell that the old man was being pushed to his limits.

Inside the barrier, the situation was dire. Orochimaru used the forbidden Edo Tensei technique to resurrect the First and Second Hokages, forcing Hiruzen to face not only his traitorous student but also his beloved predecessors.

One of the anbus currently guarding Sora had the audacity to question the identities of the two people coming out of the coffin.

Before anybody could answer him, Sora interrupted "Dude, look carefully, they might seem like Zombies, but they are clearly First and Second Hokage, are you also a newbie?" 

That guy instantly shut up, The surrounding anbus could feel embarrassed due to this, Even the stoic Anbu Captain internally decided to teach this guy a lesson if they survived today.

Sora quickly formed a shadow clone and dispelled it, it's memories going to that clone so that he could inform the Anbu Commander about the situation turning Grim.

"Do you see now, old man?" Orochimaru cackled, his eyes gleaming with malice. "This is the power of true immortality! The power to transcend death itself!"

Hiruzen gritted his teeth, his ageing body straining under the pressure of the fight. "What you've done is an abomination, Orochimaru. These great shinobi deserve to rest in peace!"

As the Hokages clashed, their legendary techniques reshaping the very rooftop beneath their feet, Sora finally completed his seal. He looked up at the shimmering barrier, a determined glint in his eye.

"It's ready," he called out to other anbus, who were still engaged in combat with the disguised Kabuto and other enemy nin. 

"My clone just dispelled, Anbu Commander will be here in a few seconds, back off now!" Sora said while putting the seal on the barrier.

Sora then continued and motioned to the anbu Captain present, "Only you are going to enter the barrier with the commander, the rest are going to be on standby here, that's what he said"

As if on cue, a blur of motion caught Sora's eye. The ANBU Commander had arrived, his mask hiding any expression but his body language speaks volumes about his readiness for battle.

"Now!" Sora shouted, Making a hand-seal with one hand.

The seal began to glow with an intense blue light, tendrils of chakra reaching up towards the barrier. For a moment, nothing seemed to happen. Then, with a sound like shattering glass, a small hole appeared in the purple wall of energy.

"It worked!" Guy exclaimed, his voice filled with youthful excitement echoing in the arena despite the dire situation.

The ANBU Commander wasted no time. With a nod of thanks to Sora, he leapt through the opening, the ANBU Captain hot on his heels. The hole in the barrier began to close almost immediately, but they had made it through.

Inside the barrier, Orochimaru's eyes widened in shock as he sensed the new arrivals. "Impossible!" he hissed, his concentration momentarily broken.

Hiruzen, seizing the opportunity, launched into a series of hand signs. "Now, my friends," he called out to the reanimated Hokage. "Let us show this upstart the true will of fire!"

Anbu Commander was an Elite Jounin with skills close to the level of an S-rank, The Anbu captain who entered with him was not Jounin level Elite Jounin

With the addition of the ANBU Commander and Captain, the tide of the battle began to turn. Orochimaru found himself on the defensive, his grand plan unravelling before his eyes.

"I would be heading back to Kakashi-sensei for further orders" With that Sora headed back to the stands.

It seems the butterfly of causality has finally revealed her wings.
