Son of the Sannin(Back)

The Invading Sound

"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"

Huge green vines emerged from the ground, and forcefully opened the village's gates open, almost tearing them from its hinges. A couple seconds later, a tide of gray and black-clad ninjas rushed into the village, screaming battle cries, cheers, and in some cases, profanities. And the two resurrected Kage could do nothing but watch powerlessly as the invaders flooded the village.

"At the very least, we'll see how strong the village's ninja got after our demise," Hashirama stated, earning a glare from his younger brother in return. "What? Excuse me for trying to see the bright side of our predicament."

Before a fraternal argument could take place, the force controlling their bodies made them to join the invaders in the destruction of Konoha, and went in different directions.

...

On its own, though large, and even having bypassing the walls, Orochimaru's army wouldn't have a chance of dealing much damage to Konoha. Unfortunately for Konoha, the invaders were also supported by a no small amount of giant snakes, including the Snake Boss, Manda, as well the resurrected Hokage.

Fortunately for the defenders, two of Konoha's strongest Jonin, who were in the middle of one of their allegedly casual competitions before it was time to get to work, witnessed everything and went for the most obvious threat: the giant, rampaging purple snake.

"Alright Kakashi, we can still salvage our competition!" Gai stated as he enthusiastically dashed towards the snake boss.

"Gai, Konoha is being invaded, and you still care about our competitions?" Kakashi asked in disbelief.

"They aren't mutually exclusive! We can see which one is better at defending the village!" Gai suggested as he prepared to attack. "DYNAMIC ENTRY!"

Gai landed a powerful flying kick on the giant snake's maw. Manda hissed in pain, and he tried to bite or swallow Gai, but Konoha's Green Beast proved to be too fast.

"Let's try to lure it out from the more populated areas and into the training fields," Kakashi noted as he made several hand seals. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The Copy Ninja breathed a massive fireball, hitting Manda in the eye, leaving a burnt mark. The giant snake hissed again in pain. Forgetting about Gai, the Snake Boss lunged at Kakashi, who nimbly dodged.

"Yes! Come get us, you unyouthful armless lizard!" Gai taunted the snake.

However, despite their success in drawing its attention, Manda refused to follow them whenever they got far from the populated zone.

"There's something wrong. Why it isn't following us?" Gai asked.

"Its chakra seems irregular," Kakashi observed. "It may be under the effect of a genjutsu."

"Don't worry guys, here I come to save the day!" a feminine voice shouted, before Anko appeared between them. She bit her thumb, and made several hand seals, before finally slamming her hand into the ground. "Summoning Jutsu!"

A giant gray snake appeared before the three ninjas, though not near as large as Manda was. Upon noticing the Snake Boss, Anko's snake disappeared, just like the purplette expected. However, contrary to what she was expecting, Manda did not disappear. The giant snake swung its tail, and tried to crush the three Konoha ninja as if they were bugs. Fortunately, they managed to dodge it in time, but they couldn't prevent a house from being demolished by the snake's attack.

"The hell? Summoned animals disappear if they're summoned by two people at different sides of a conflict!" Anko protested.

"The snake's chakra is irregular. I believe Orochimaru put it under some kind of genjutsu. That would explain why it didn't leave," Kakashi reasoned.
