"Finally!"
"We did it!"
Screams of joy and contentment resounded underground; after many restless days of work, the researchers of the Uzumaki clan had finally achieved their goals and created a subspace in the belly of a summoning beast.
Kana genuinely smiled as she looked at her coworker shouting and jumping around with joy and relief like children in the research room.
'They can be happy!' she mused
'We have created something that never existed,'
They had created something in a few days that few ever even dreamed of creating, something that could save their clan from destruction.
Kana looked at the massive tortoise covered with seals with satisfaction, it was one of her summon after all.
"All that work finally paid off," she said. They had already made a test and successfully sent one of the scientists safely to one of the underground shelters that the clans had outside the island.
"Did you succeed!?"
Kana turned around, hearing the tired voice of her father behind her; he was followed by the other members of the council.
"Yes," She replied, a frown appearing on her beautiful face. She was always unhappy to see them, but she calmed down a little when she saw their current state. Most of them looked older, more haggard, and injured, and a few were missing, they were already dead.
It was obvious that the last few days had been kind to them as they too had to word so that the defense can persist until now
"Yes, we have succeeded! Now let's start the evacuation,"
"Yes," Her father replied "let's do it quickly start, we don't have much time-"
Those words barely left his mouth when.
BOOOOOOM
A massive thundering explosion shook the entire island.
"What the fuck is happening?"
Scream of panic echoed in the room and the entire island shook.
Even ninjas had trouble remaining standing.
"The barrier is under attack."
"TAIL BEASTS!!!"
A loud shout reverberated on the island, alerting the Uzumaki still alive of their new predicament; the barrier that had protected and kept them safe from the assaults of the four major villages had fallen.
"Tail beast, they have deployed a tail Beast!" Someone screamed
"Not a tail beast, multiple," Kana said looking in a direction where she could feel the malicious chakra of the tail beasts directed at them.
She could feel their anger, rage, and disgust directed toward them. She could feel that the jinchiruki were not completely in control, but it didn't matter because the little control they had was enough.
Booom
Another explosion shook the island as a tail beast bomb reached the village, followed by multiple other salvos. She could feel that they were not perfect jinchiruki, but it was more than enough.
Kiri had brought their two-tail beast, the six and three-tail.
Kumo had brought the eight-tail and Iwa the four-tail, and they were all firing at them.
"Are they not afraid of destroying the sealing techniques that they came to steal,"
"Maybe they just want to destroy us now?"
Kana and the others were no fools; they knew that one of the reason for this attack was the desire for their sealing techniques, but now it seems that they had abandoned that objective.
She could feel members of her clans die all around while others created new barriers to protect what remained of their village and people.
Gritting her teeth, she screamed at the ninja's presents.
"Gather all who are still alive here at once; the evacuation starts now!"
"Bu-But princess, we aren't ready yet, this turtle is the only one, it cannot transport more than five people,"
"Then what are you waiting for, idiot? Start working, bring out your summons, and start inscribing the seals," The man barely ended her sentence when Kana turned toward him; her rage, helplessness, and frustration crashed onto him like a wave.
With that, she took out a few pills and swallowed them to replenish her chakra.
Following her example, the ninjas quickly regained calm and control, and Ashinta, still in the room, quickly started to give orders.
Soon, she knew everyone was working. Other massive creatures appeared in the room; without saying anything else, she strode toward them and started to apply the seals on the scales, furs, and wings of the creatures.
"Move quickly; we must erect another barrier or even counterattack; anything that can help," Ashinta the Uzukage said, and everyone in the room started to scramble back to work.
"Yes," they said before disappearing using the body flicker jitsu.
With that, the Kage of Uzukage turned to his council members
"Let's move too, we have no second to lose, we need to do everything that we can to buy some time,"
While everyone was busy running around like maniacs, Ashinta took in the scene in front of him; as he looked at his daughter working, a strange calm washed over him.
A feeling of peace and tranquility overtook him as if the end of all things will be alright.
"Thank you for coming back, goodbye daughter."
He murmured more to himself than to anyone; leaving those words behind, he flickered away.
"Crack." A loud crack resounded in the hearsay of all the people present on the island, civilians and ninjas alike.
"yeah!!!!"
Loud cheers resounded outside the barriers as the ninjas of the four villages celebrated the fall of the dome that had stopped their advance for days.
On the contrary, the Uzumaki that had relied on that barrier, even though they had to feed it with their own lives, felt a huge pit of despair opening in their guts.
Under the cheers of the ninjas of the other villages, the bombardment continued
But Ashinta, with his old comrades, left what little protection they had left to run toward their enemies.
Boom
Seeing them arrive the tail beasts started to target them
"Multiclonage,"
With a few hand seals, he used Konoha's signature jitsu. Their massive chakra reserved of the old men present allowed them to create nearly a hundred clones each who swarmed fearlessly toward the tails beasts of the four nations in an attempt to gain more time for their peoples and family.
The only grace that they had was that due to the bombardment the ninjas of the four villages remained in a safe distance.
For a few agonizing minutes that seemed to have stretched for hours, in those minutes, what remained of their village was razed to the ground.
Many civilians, children, and even babies died.
Vaporized, torn apart, buried alive, and many other atrocious deaths.
As a very spiritually aware clan, many Uzumaki could feel and perceive the end of their comrades as if they were beside them, and many more children and adults alike awoke their minds, eyes, or others' abilities in that hell.
This is in that hell of despair that the evacuation of those who could be saved started.
The members of the research teams, despite the threats of being buried alive, blown apart, and with the hearth quaking around them, miraculously continued to inscribe seals on the summons beasts at blinding speed without any mistake.
One by one, people, children, ninjas, and old entered the stomach of the creatures before.
Puff
A Massive seahorse disappeared from the room before being immediately replaced by another.
Somewhere in the land of fire, in one of the multiple Uzumaki underground refuges, an old man bit his thumb and let blood trickle down.
The moment it touched the ground puff a massive seahorse appeared in the room.
Bending down, it opened its mouth and threw out about five people, young and old, men and women, but one thing was for certain, all of them were injured, dirty, and traumatized by what they endured.
The creatures immediately disappeared after the old man canceled the summoning and started another hand sign for another creature.
In Uzushio the destruction continued when suddenly
Silence.
The tails-beasts stopped attacking, and all of them were focused on one point or, to be more precise, on one person.
For the average man, this sudden silence after many agonizing minutes was even more terrifying than the explosion as didn't know what other attrocolities will follow.
But for those with good spiritual perception or possessing the mind eye could see that someone had arrived on the battlefield and felt relief as if salvation had come.
"Grandfather!" Kana stopped for a brief moment before returning to her seals.
Even though she was happy she didn't have time to rejoice.
On the battlefield, an old man with long white hair hunched over like he could fall dead at any moment, but that old man got those that could feel it, had as much, if not more, chakra than even the tail beast present here.
"Father!" Ashinta said, looking at his father, Ashina Uzumaki, a legend that was two hundred years old.
"I'm sorry, I have failed; the clan is in danger of extermination by my fault."
Ashinta confessed as he moved to stand beside his father.
"I know everything, I saw everything, that isn't your fault, It is mine, you followed my example, my policies."
"But everything is not over, there is still hope, you saw it, now it is time for us to give our lives so that that hope continues to survive, let make count!"
With that, a chakra so massive that it rivaled that of a tail beast and so filled with bloodlust that it could be confused with one exploded from the body of Ashina Uzumaki.
"My last fight, let's make it count son,"
Leaving those words behind, the old man moved; massive adamantine chains surged from his back as he engaged the four tails beasts.
Looking at his father, Ashinta was brought back to the time of his youth when he followed his father and family in battle.
"Yes father," Ashinta said before following his old man.
Soon the battle resumed.
In the meantime, seeing that the tailed beast was stopped by just two people, the members of the ninja's village started to panic.
"What the fuck is that?"
"How can they fight tail beasts!?"
"Do those two manage to stop all the tail beasts?"
Panic started to set in the hearts of the ninjas who saw.
Tail beasts were absolute monsters of destruction, and right now, two people were fighting them on nearly equal footing, with the old Ashina holding his own against three of them using his massive adamantine chains.
The old man was so fast that only a handful of ninjas could see his shadow; at the same time, his foresight given to him by the mind eye allowed him to predict the movement of the beasts while his adamantine chains were raining down blows on them.
At the same time, his son Ashina was fighting the fourth.
Under the eyes of the four great Ninjas Village, they were demonstrating why Uzumaki was so feared,
Seeing that, Ebizo of Suna had some kind of epiphany.
"It's like the Uzumaki were created to be the perfect counter for the tail Beast," he mused, looking at the fight. Where the old man, after stabbing the tip of his chain all around him, created the barrier that protected him from a tail Beast bomb without any trouble.
Ebiso looked around only to see that everyone was transfigurated by the Titanic fight happening in front of them.
'They are panicking, I need to do something,'
Turning to the ninjas he shouted
"Ninja of Suna do not be afraid. The only reason that they are resisting as well as they are is that the tail beasts are fighting with their hosts but it will not last long we must take advantage of the situation and eliminate all the Uzumaki on that Island or they will come back to get the Revenge, for the village! For Suna!" He shouted, and his men followed with a newfound vigor. They made their way toward the ruin of the Uzumaki Village.
The same thing was happening in the camp of the three-order Villages, and soon they made their way toward what remained of Uzushio after the bombardment.
But the ninjas of Uzushio, injured, battered, bloodied, with missing limbs, image from the ground.
They had lost family, friends, and home, and knew that they were about losing your lives too.
But it didn't matter filled with rage, desperation, and madness the desire for revenge sacrifice will allow what remaining of the family to escape
They lunged towards the approaching Ninjas.
Even though they were vastly outnumbered, their rage and massive, vitality allowed them to resist the skilled and healthy ninjas of the four villages.
They got poisoned, stabbed, sliced, rammed, and crushed. They continued to move forward like zombies.
Driven by desperation, one thousand injured Uzumaki managed to stalled the nearly ten thousand ninjas of the four villages for twenty minutes, allowing the evacuation of their kin to proceed smoothly.
Outside Konoha
Akashi was jumping from tree to tree with the Clone of his mother by his side and escorted by members of the Uchiha clan. He moved in the direction of the fire capital, or at least that was what was written in the official mission report.
Somewhere in Konoha
Danzo Shimura was looking at Aninjas kneeling in front of him.
"Have they men left?"
"Yes Lord Danzo, the Uzumaki left the village under the protection of members of the Uchiha clan, our men are already waiting for them, everything is ready,"
"Good, make sure that everything goes well,"
"Yes master," the root ninja said before disappearing
'Huh, this time even, Hiruzen didn't try to stop me; it means that he knows how dangerous this kid will be in the future. I wonder if he will awaken his Sharingan if his mother dies; I can also use him as an experiment for the wood release.'
With that, he slowly faded into the shadows.
