When The Sun Shines (A Reika Namikaze Story) Book 1

16

When the next morning came, everyone was updated with the latest news and everyone was bustling about ready for when they would strike. I had my war outfit on and had my summons resting up for the time being so that they aren't exhausted when the battle does come around.

We had it set up to where I had my shadow clones henge as different shinobi who would fight alongside several real ones so that it made it look like our forces were way more than what Danzo had told.

I looked back at Haku and Zabuza who were henged as well, I mean even Zabuza's blade was hinged as to cause confusion. They stood on either side of the real me while I stood with my arms crossed. I closed my eyes focusing on all the different chakra signatures around the entire village and a bit beyond. Thanks to Tobirama-sensei training me every weekend, I now can use my ability without getting overwhelmed and without taking my shoes off.

I could feel everyone's chakra even my own clones. I used a genjutsu on their signatures to slightly change what they felt like as to not give away that they are all clones.

I moved quite a few clones to different blind spots and had them get either the twin blades out or another set of blades. I did this at all entrances to the village and had everyone else hiding inside buildings waiting to ambush any enemy that manages to get past all my clones, which let's be real, is like impossible with how many I have.

We stand waiting. On guard. The real me is on top the Hokage tower standing with my arms crossed eyes closed listening for any foreign involvement nearby and keeping an eye on everyone else. We're ready for anything.

I connect my eyes with one of my summons who stands watch outside the walls after she sensed a huge chakra source that wasn't any of our own. I through Ocean's eyes, watch Kisame with three others waiting in watch. Kisame looks pissed probably due to the insane numbers. It's either that or he is looking for revenge on Zabuza. Who is believed to be dead.

I open my eyes to look behind me where my dad stands with his Hokage cloak on his special kunai in hand. He has several throughout Konoha. Next to him is Jiraya who stands ready just like the rest of us.

On the other side of me is Hinata as she stands in her chosen taijutsu stance who stands next to Shino who has his bugs flying all around us. We stand looking to the direction of the four criminal shinobi who stand nearby.

We had the civilians in a safe haven underground, while all our shinobi stand to protect.

Suddenly, we're under attack. I feel my clones take enemies down in the dozens, while as only a few are dispersed.

"The south and north are under attack." I turned to look at dad for further orders.

"Stick to the plan." Is all he says. We were planning it to where they attacked from the east and west first. It's a little unsettling but not impossible. We prepared for anything. Then more clones dispersed. This time from the walls.

"Kisame has entered the village from the side." I stated calmly analyzing his skills based off of what I'm seeing. I don't want to kill him.

I'm once again reminded of the predicament of when I faced Haku and Zabuza for the first time. If he dies, then I won't be able to forgive myself, but if he lives he won't be an easy opponent. He's strong enough and he is fast. I can't rely on chakra knowing he can absorb it. The stronger the opponent he is facing the stronger he becomes.

I know in a taijutsu fight I don't stand a chance, not alone. His chakra is monstrous even when the manga only showed thirty percent. Don't try to beat him at his own game, if I can somehow convince him to stop fighting...

I glanced to Zabuza who rose a brow at my gaze, but he nodded in understanding.

"Then we'll leave him to the lot of you." Dad responded hoping to keep me sane as long as possible.
