Invasion of Konoha

At the spectator's seats.

The Jonin recognized the Jutsu and narrowed their eyes as they looked at Ishizu: "Ishizu, did you teach him this jutsu?" asked Gai. Ishizu was laughing while shaking his head: "No. I didn't train him. It was Jiraiya-sama who trained Naruto during this month. It also amazed me that he performed this Jutsu although a significantly weaker version it is still a Rasengan. I am proud of being his teacher."

'Although I have no idea why Jiraiya would teach it to him before Tsunade,' thought Ishizu. Naruto was announced the winner but no civilian clap. The next fight was Sasuke Uchiha vs. Gaara but it would seem that Sasuke was not present. He would have been disqualified had it not been for the Kazekage to announce that they should delay his fight. "Ok, the next fight will be Kankuro vs. Shino Aburame".

"I surrender," shouted Kankuro.

Many people were shouting profanities at Kankuro and even Shino glared at him.

"As Kankuro surrender I declare Shino as the winner so next fight will be

Temari vs. Shikamaru Nara."

Ishizu expected the fight to be like in canon with Temari being victorious as the Nara would surrender but he was wrong. It seemed that Asuma talked some sense into Shikamaru. That his laziness could cause the death of a teammate made the Nara work harder. Shikamaru was more focused in the battle and defeated Temari without the hole Naruto created in Canon.

"Shikamaru is the winner."

The next fight was going to be Ino Yamanaka vs. Dosu.

Ishizu closed his eyes as he knew that they would wait another 5-10 minutes for a dead person to show up.

Poor Dosu was too overconfident and got himself killed thinking it was easy to kill a Jinchūriki of the Ichibi on a full moon. While waiting, Ishizu went over his plan again to see if he made no mistake. This was an important battle he had to win.

10 minutes later, Dosu was disqualified and they would wait another 5 minutes for Sasuke to show up. At the last minute, both Kakashi and Sasuke made it and the final fight started.

Ishizu waited for the feather Genjutsu to start as both Gaara and Sasuke fought. Sasuke tried many jutsus, but they all were useless as Gaara's sand blocked them. Then Sasuke ran the wall of the arena up and performed many hand sights.

Ishizu whispered to Kakashi: "So you taught him Chidori? With it, he could win, but against Naruto, he won't stand a chance. Naruto showed everyone that he is the son of Minato and Kuchina Uzumaki."

Kakashi's eyes widened as he looked at Ishizu thinking that he told Naruto about his parents. Ishizu saw Kakashi's look: "He only knows his mother's name from me. He still needs to become Chunin."

"Has the Hokage agreed to it?" asked Kakashi. Ishizu nodded: "Naruto is not dumb. He knows the consequences of proclaiming his name to random people. No, he is mature enough to know. That is if I deem him worthy and his usage of the Rasengan gave him a boost."

Ishizu smirked: "Still, I am the best Rasengan wilder right now. Even Jiraiya-sama does not compare to me." Kakashi rolled his eyes at Ishizu's confidence. The Sharingan user thought that Ishizu was boasting but nobody knew that Ishizu had already mastered nature transformation.

Back in the arena, Sasuke charged at Gaara with his Chidori and broke through Gaara's sand shields. As Gaara saw his blood he went insane, and the Genjutsu was casted.

Ishizu's POV.

I dispelled the jutsu and looked at my Genin. They were fine so I commanded: "Ino, Hinata we are getting invaded. I order you to protect the civilians and stay safe. I trust you so be careful."

The girls nodded and jumped out. Turning to Naruto. "I know what you think about, Naruto. He is the same as you. So go help Sasuke and defend your village. Use every means possible to calm the Ichibi Jinchūriki."

Naruto nodded and chased after Gaara and Sasuke. 'Now is the time to act.'

I made my way to the violet barrier and saw some Anbu waiting. "What are you doing? You should go help the civilians instead of wasting your time." One ANBU said, thinking Ishizu was some noob but as they looked at Ishizu, they recognized him.

"The Hokage is currently battling Orochimaru," answered one ANBU, bowing. Ishizu facepalmed: "I know that. I am not blind. As the Hokage cannot give you orders, I will as your superior. Now go and help the civilians. I will deal with the situation." The Anbu nodded and disappeared.

'Finally, they are gone. I can do my big entrance.'

As I walked to the barrier Kidomaru, the spider guy taunted me as I couldn't help my Hokage. I smiled: "Oh, and who thinks I am not prepared." I summoned a scroll and performed hand sight and with a poof, I was gone and reappeared inside the Barrier.

From the inside I looked at his face: "This is how you come inside a barrier."

I charged at Orochimaru to get him away for the 3rd. The Hokage saw Ishizu and shouted at me: "Ishizu, what are you doing here and how could you come in?"

I jumped to the Hokage: "I am always prepared for the world, Hokage-sama." Turning my head to Orochimaru. "It has been a while Snake man. By your appearance, I can see that you truly are a pedophile as you look like a kid. I see you still have a grudge against your former Sensei to not be elected as Hokage. I would say you'd made a bad Hokage. Minato-sensei was and would always be a better Hokage then you will ever be."

Orochimaru chuckled: "Yes, you still amaze me Ishizu-kun. If only you would be on my side, it would be so much easier. Maybe killing you will help me achieve my dream."

I further tried to anger Orochimaru: "Bah, you are even weaker than Jiraiya. You can not even perform Sage Mode. Instead, you use some kind of bastardized version of a seal you put in Sasuke. That would only a weakling do."

Orochimaru clearly was not happy about my comment: " I will show you both just how strong I am."

Seeing it was time I waited for the perfect time. "Ishizu what are you going to do?"

General POV

The Hokage saw the grin on Ishizu's face. Sarutobi knew Ishizu from the time he was with Minato and Kuchina. That also meant seeing many expressions he would do. One of these was his grin and it only meant one thing. Ishizu would only do this face if he was going to do something unpredictable. Minato had warned him about it.

"No way will I fight against him directly. I will do what most will do in such a situation."

Ishizu grin got wider.

"I will call for help."
