Twenty One – demon war

3RD PERSON P.O.V.

Once the explosion hit, demons descended into the leaf village attacking everyone.

"Defense positions! Get the non-combatants to safety." shouted out the Hokage. Everyone did as the Hokage instructed as they armed themselves. The demons attacked swiftly as they didn't care whom they killed.

-SHIELD OF SAND!- shouted out Gaara as he erected a shield made of sand to protect everyone. Even though he knew that these people were skilled ninja, he couldn't allow them to be hurt. -I think that these demons are mostly after Onii-san and me. Everyone get out of here!- snarled Gaara as he tried to control himself. He could feel his demon blood boiling. Suddenly Gaara's shield of sand was destroyed sending sand flying everywhere. Gaara cursed to himself in his demonic tongue as he stood before the Hokage and the humans that remained.

-There you are. You are one of the abominations created by humans. This whole village should be destroyed to set an example to others. Humans and demons weren't meant to live together.- snarled a two tail monster cat.

"HUMAN BOLDER!" shouted out a voice as a large rolling person tried to mow down the cat. The cat lept out of the way as Choji came to a stop before Gaara.

"That's where your wrong. Even though Gaara may not look human and he isn't quite a demon either, he is a member of our team and we except him and Naruto for what they are." snapped Ino.

"What do you say Gaara, shall we show these demons the power of Team Defenders?" asked Shikamaru. Gaara could only nod his head as he was touched that his team had come to help him out.

+Elsewhere+

Team Kitsune was helping non-combatants get to safety. Naruto could feel Gaara's anger and rage like it was his own.

-Careful Naruto, these demons mean business as they are out to kill us and Gaara. They see us as abominations. They will kill everyone here just to set an example to other villages and humans.- snarled Kyuubi mentally.

*Kyuubi, we can't leave Gaara to fend for himself!* Naruto stated mentally.

-Don't worry Naruto, his team is with him. Lets get some of these humans to safety then we can go back and help them.- replied Kyuubi.

+Main Gate+

Team Warriors dispatched themselves to the main gate of the village to try to prevent other demons from entering.

-Out of the way you miserable humans. We have business with those abominations your protecting.- snarled a four tailed gorilla.

"Abominations?" asked Lee.

"I think its referring to Naruto and Gaara. Anyway we can't allow you to come any further. Naruto and Gaara maybe only abominations to you but, to us they are members of this village and our friends." replied Neji.

-You honestly think that you humans can stop us?- laughed the gorilla.

"ICE PRISON!" snapped Haku as a barrier of ice erected around the demon. "I think that we stand a good chance." she replied.

+The Forest+

Team Animal lead those whom managed to escape safely through the woods.

"I don't like leaving everyone behind." stated Kiba as Akamaru whimpered that he agreed.

"We can go back once we get these people to safety. Not everyone in the village is a skilled ninja." stated Shino.

"Our priority shall be getting everyone to safety then we can go back to give the other teams back up." stated Hinata as she silently hoped that they would have a home to go back to.

+The Arena+

"Protect the Hokage and the remaining people!" snapped Shikamaru as he made a hand sign. "SHADOW POSSESSION!" the teen snapped as he tried to catch the monster cat in his shadow. The cat easily avoided the attack. Large amounts of sand threatened to crush the cat.

-SAND TSUNAMI!- snarled Gaara as he couldn't hold himself back. This cat clearly meant business as he could feel its lust for blood. -Get Sarutobi and the humans to safety. I can't hold back!- Gaara snarled at his teammates as his markings grew more vibrant. Team Defenders cursed to themselves as they did as Gaara instructed. Once everyone was away, Gaara let his power loose transforming into his full beastial form. Shukaku had arisen once again as the raccoon and monster cat fought. The two demons were out for blood. Even though the two tail was a full demon, the Jinchuriki wouldn't tollerate this demon threatening its friends, teammates, village, and family. Sand enclosed around the two tail. -SAND COFFIN!- snarled Shikaku as the sand crushed the cat to death. Shukaku slammed the cat's body down to the ground as large amounts of sand covered the demon. -GIANT SAND BURRIAL!- snarled Shukaku before he transformed back into Gaara's form collapsing in exhaustion.

+Main Gate+

"EIGHT TIGRAMS ROTATION!" snapped Neji as he spun around sending demons flying everywhere. Lee ran up to the gorilla kicking him up into the air.

"HIDDEN LOTUS!" snapped Lee as his bandages wrapped around the gorilla as the two spiraled down to the earth. Once Neji and Lee moved out of the way, Haku stepped forward making several quick hand signs.

"ICE STYLE – WOLF FANG AVALANCE!" she snapped burying all of the demons under a mound of ice and snow.

"Lets hope that holds them." stated Tenten.

+Elsewhere+

A large explosion ripped from behind Team Kitsune as everyone was thrown to the side. A seven tailed beetle appeared glaring at them. When it saw Naruto, it sent an ultra high frequency wave of sound at the fox teen causing him to howl in pain.

"FIRE STYLE – FIREBALL!" snapped Sasuke as a large fireball tried to roast the beetle.

-Don't get in my way human!- snapped the beetle as it moved to attack Sasuke.

"SUPER BEAST SCROLL – BUG EATER!" snapped Sai as a painting that he did on the scroll came to life attacking the beetle (yes, Sai's attacks are of my own design seeing how he only has the beast scroll attack and nothing else). Sai moved to help Sasuke as the painting tried to keep the beetle at bay. The beetle crushed the painting easily.

"Look out!" shouted out Sakura as she moved to help her teammates. The beetle sent a large wave of sound at the three teens sending their mangled bodies flying everywhere. Naruto's and Kyuubi's blood burned within them as they had seen enough.

"Kakashi get them out of here and don't bother holding us back. Nobody attacks our home, our friends, our family, our teammates, and our mate and expects to get away with it." snarled Naruto and Kyuubi in a unified voice. The team captain didn't argue with the nine tail as he grabbed everyone getting them as far away as possible. He recognized that look in the Demonkin's eyes all too well.

"Be careful Naruto and Kyuubi!" he whispered.
