Chapter 64: Pain's Invasion

A/N - Hey guys! Yes y'all, I've managed to type out another chapter! I guess it's safe to say I'm pretty much back cause I've been in the mood to write. It's been pretty difficult writing some of the Naruto scenes but I'm doing my best with it and trying to add scenes to sorta give it a twist so it's not like you're just reading a script from the show lol.

Anyway, please remember to comment and vote and enjoy ❤️

Chapter 64: Pain's Invasion

"Quick, children! This way!" Nia gestured her hand in the direction she wanted the children of Konoha to go as they were all in a line.

All throughout the village, buildings had been exploding with lots of smoke thick in the air and fire blazing about. There was a loud boom that filled the ears of everyone and a trembling that made their footing unbalanced.

"NIA-SENSEI, I'M SO SCARED!" A child, no more than eight-years-old, cried.

"It'll be alright," Nia bent down and ruffled their hair. "Just please follow everyone to the evacuation shelter."

"But what about you?" Another kid asked.

"Oh, I'll be fine," The kunoichi gave a warm smile, hoping it would help ease their worries. "No need to worry about me."

"This way, children," A shinobi took charge of the two and led them elsewhere.

"Nia-senseeeeeei!" They all didn't wanna leave, but was forced to continue walking forward.

"I'll catch up to you all later. Be safe!" She waved.

She then turned to her fellow chunin and said, "I'm gonna go back into the village and try to help as many people as I can."

"Wait, you can't leave!" The man said as Nia ran away. "You're a guardian of the Nine-Tails, aren't you?! You're one of whom the enemy is looking for!"

"Please just take care of things over here for me, okay?" She only shouted back.

And with that, the girl disappeared.

Konan and the Six Paths of Pain continued their attack on Konohagakure while systematically interrogating and killing shinobi and civilians alike regarding the whereabouts of Naruto and his guardians. Due to Tsunade's duties as Hokage and Shizune leading the autopsy, Sakura was placed in charge of all the wounded at the Konoha Hospital. 

Danzō Shimura decided to alert Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the two elders of the Konoha Council, that Pain of the Akatsuki was destroying their village in an attempt to find the guardians of the Nine-Tails, and Naruto, whom Tsunade was attempting to bring back to the village at the very moment.

Angered, the two elders stormed into Tsunade's office, asking her to leave Naruto at Mount Myōboku, unsatisfied with her handling of events. As the elders mentioned the dangers of handing the Nine-Tails over to Pain, who had killed Jiraiya of all people, Tsunade was vexed as they referred to Naruto as merely the vessel of the tailed beast.

Pulling them off their feet by their collars, she announced that Naruto was not just a vessel, but a shinobi of Konoha, a comrade, who had sworn to defend their village, recalling when Naruto saved her during her battle with Kabuto; she proceeded to tell the elders that the Third Hokage, Chiyo of Suna and Jiraiya all possessed something that the two of them lack — the power to believe, to have faith, in someone like Naruto.

With that, she released them from her clutches and they fell to their bottoms. When they stood to their feet, all they could say was:

"Fine... We'll let you handle things from here."
