My Shinobi Academia: Naruto x ATLA x HxH x MHA

Chapter 9 - Jinchuriki Rising

A/N: Please feel free to comment and leave any suggestions. Still figuring out if how different from the original anime storyline I want this to be. Thoughts are welcome.

Gaara had made real to Naruto the horrors of the battlefield. Kankuro, Choji, Shino, and Shikamaru were unconscious in bubbles. Temari was trembling within one of them. Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and Lee were immobilized and unable to move. The fear in their face was unmistakable. As Naruto scanned around, his body trembling with rage. This began to boil over when he looked up to see All-might standing above them with a big smile on his face.

"And here I thought I'd deal with the others and just detain you after," he said flippantly.

"Why?!" Naruto asked him, though the question was more inward.

"Why did you kids choose to join Shigaraki and the side of evil?"

"We just wanted to save our friend!" he muttered. "We just wanted to save our friend!" he muttered again. His body was beginning to glow with an orange chakra. His nails began to grow and sharpen into claws as he continued to mutter. As he muttered, his body began to grow limp and air currents began to circulate around him as the orange chakra circulated wildly. "WE JUST WANTED TO SAVE OUR FRIEND!!!"

"What's happening to Naruto?" Hinata wondered on seeing this.

Sakura knew exactly what was happening. She had seen it twice before: in the forest of death, and against Neji. The chakra had always felt malicious and dark. But this time, it was different. This time it was more sinister. It made the air feel stale and heavy. The malice within him was more than she had ever felt before. It was more than what she'd felt from Orochimaru.

The pro-heroes had also taken notice of this development. Wash had withdrawn the bubbles to the coastline where he was waiting for police reinforcements to detain them. Mountain Lady stood next to him watching closely, both of them further removed from the battle. Kamui Woods stood closest to All-might, about 100m away, trying to keep a hold of those he'd detained.

"What's that kid doing?" Mountain Lady wondered, clearly worried.

"Which one?" Wash asked, drawing the other hero's attention to Gaara who had sand swirling all around him.

"Should we get reinforcements?"

"It's All-might. We'd just be getting in the way," Wash told her. "Let's focus on detaining those we can!"

Gaara's head was down. He was deep in his thoughts. He was going to support Naruto as best as he could. But if his sand was to keep up with their opponent, he needed as much as he could get.

Just let me out and I'll kill them all for you! Shukaku's whiny voice pleaded. You're weak now. Just sleep and let me do the rest! Shukaku's desperation was very clear. It's been a while since you played possum. Don't you want to soak the sands with their blood? Don't you want to make him beg?

"I'm not letting you take control ever again," Gaara stated bluntly. "Rage only has power if it's directed."

Then I'm not helping you!

"Don't forget that if I die, you die."

Shukaku chuckled loudly. Fine! You win this time. But when I take over next time, I'm never giving it back.

The sands around the sand ninja continued to swirl even stronger. The sands of his sand armor repaired themselves, growing rapidly from the beach sand.

Tsk! Such a waste of good talents! All-might was done watching these kids set-up. It was time to close the show. He took a step forward. He felt a sharpness propagate through his entire body. Poison? But when? He looked at his arms and noticed the small cuts and scrapes on his costume. So they had a plan after all! I need to finish this fast. With the limit on my quirk, I can't afford this. He looked at the two boys. They were both definitely fired up. They don't look like they'll go down easy. But if I go overboard, I could kill them. He huffed.

"I'm going to save my friends," Naruto shouted, his teeth now fangs and whiskers appearing on his face. He pulled back on the ground like a spring and shot towards the hero, his speed tearing up the sand above him.

He's much faster than all the others! The hero noted as he clashed with Naruto, blocking the boy's punch with his forearm and flinging him off. Naruto landed behind All-might who jumped off the ground as the sand shot upwards to try and grab his legs.

From the dust cloud that had been torn up earlier, several Narutos shot out up towards him, each trying to punch or kick him successively. He punched downwards towards them to blast them all away, creating an impact crater that caused the sand to rise higher than him.

Gaara took advantage of this, causing the sand to quickly surround him from all directions, some even shooting from the ground to meet him and compress quickly into a sphere that was pushed into the ground like it had swallowed him.

Of course he tore right through it, bursting across the sand like a shark towards Gaara who had tried several times to capture him with arms that shot from the sand. Realizing the man was too fast, Gaara slammed both hands into the ground causing all the sand in front of him to rise towards All-might in an attempt to grab him.

All-might burst through that frontal assault too, appearing next to Gaara and punching him, though Gaara's defensive sand shot up quickly to block. The shockwave of the impact would have sent Gaara flying had he not rooted himself into the ground. The quick thinking Sand nin had anticipated this, flicking his arms outward and causing the defensive sand to form blades that attempted to skewer the hero.

He was pushed back, but only a few inches, tearing up more dust in his wake.

Gaara scoffed. He blows through all my attacks as if they're nothing. If the sand is not enough, I'll just make and use more. Even if I have to hold him with all the sand on this beach.

Before it could clear however, Naruto appeared underneath him, trying for an uppercut. All-might caught the child by his wrist. "If you won't go down like a child, then you'll go down like an adult." He spun around and threw Naruto so fast that there was a shockwave, but Gaara's sand shot up in a light cloud, grabbing Naruto by the legs and rolling around him like a sleeping bag. The sand unfurled quickly, sending Naruto flying back at the pro-hero.

Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu! Naruto burst into several thousand clones that came at the pro-hero with the same intensity.

"You don't understand kid. Whether it's one of you or a thousand, it will remain the same," he said, his face becoming more serious. "Detroit smash!" He punched downwards towards Naruto and his clones breaking the ground and causing the air to shoot up rapidly. Naruto's clones popped out of existence almost in an instant. The real body was smashed into the ground by the attack and was sent rebounding into the air. The hero shot to grab him by the collar, slamming him back into the ground. "Just stay down kid!"

The boy vanished in a poof, leaving behind a wooden log which had a tag on it. It exploded in a bright flash of light. This temporarily blinded him and young Naruto shot out of the sand, trying again for that uppercut.

"Detroit smash!" He punched again, sending the young shinobi smashing back into the ground and blasting more air upwards.

All-might tried to grab him from the rebound, but he recovered in mid-air and shot away from All-might, making way for Gaara's sand.

It shot up rapidly to engulf him and more and more layers piled over him. Gaara performed the ram seal. Prison Sand Burial!

The layers of sand where the pro-hero once stood began to sink into the ground as Gaara continued to pile more sand over it. Why is he fighting it so hard? Gaara grunted as he used both hands to continuously pile up the sand. It kept pushing up as though someone was blasting within it.
