Joining the Fray

The 4 hidden Ninjas who were spies of Orochimaru quickly ran towards the platform where both Orochimaru and 3rd Hokage sat together and watch the Finals. They have never expected that area-effect Genjutsu plan would fail. This urged them to be by Orochimaru's side a quickly as possible so that they could set up the Four Purple Flame Formation to trap the 3rd Hokage and prevent anyone else to come and help the old Hokage.

They almost reached their destination when someone rushed to them and punched the ground really hard.

*BOOM*

The 4 Sound Ninjas were thrown away from their destination for a few meters. Getting back up, they were surprised to see their assailant,

""""Tsunade""""

The four of them were startled when they see the woman suddenly appear out of nowhere and punched them back a distance.

Tsunade looked at the 4 Sound Ninjas and said this with a devious smile, "You lot won't be able to help your Master this time."

All of the Sound Ninjas grind their teeth, knowing that their plan had been foiled before it started and getting disturbed from helping their 'Master'. The 4 Sound Ninjas looked at each other and nodded, taking their hoods off.

"Hmph, let us see how strong Sanin Tsunade is," said a man with six arms.

"Let's defeat her quickly and help Orochimaru-sama," said the girl with red hair.

"We will defeat you," said the fat man.

The last one, who had a pale face and a pale colored hair, said nothing but got ready to fight.

Seeing the snot-nosed brats in front of her, Tsunade said, "Stop wasting my time and go home, kids."

Tsunade's taunt certainly make the Sound Ninjas angry and attacked her like crazy.

Orochimaru grinded his teeth when he found out that his plan failed and his subordinates are getting played by Orochimaru. Even then, he is calm, for he had yet to show his true identity to the 3rd Hokage. He was wrong in that factor, as soon as the Konoha Ninjas moved to apprehend the Sand and Sound Ninjas, Sarutobi immediately jumped from his seat and faced him, saying, "You cannot escape me this time, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru was a bit startled when he was exposed earlier than he intended to be. And then, he calmed down, thinking that the old Hokage has gone senile and started to accuse him of being Orochimaru, which is him. With a smile, he said, "Are you sure about what you're talking, Hokage-dono?"

To which Sarutobi answered, "I know what I'm talking about Orochimaru. So, why don't you take off your disguise, and face me?"

This got Orochimaru surprised and tense at the same time. And to add salt into that injury, Jiraiya also appeared behind him, saying, "This is the end, Orochimaru."

Frustrated, Orochimaru discarded his disguise, with a solemn look on his face. He took a look at his Ninjas and the Sand Ninjas fighting against the Konoha Ninjas, realizing that the genjutsu plan failed. He wondered who would give the intel of this attack to the 3rd Hokage. That is when a thought appeared on his mind. 'Is it them?' he thought, realizing that Tsunade's 'friends' had told her and the Hokage about this. But, he immediately abandoned that thought, since he could not sense anything from them, except the piercing gaze from that golden-haired brat. Yes, Orochimaru ignored the piercing gaze from Reima, the golden-haired brat. Orochimaru maybe smart, but he can be idiotic at sometime like this. Anyways, Orochimaru thought that they were just Tourists who just happened to befriend Tsunade.

Even then, he didn't put them out of his suspicious list. And so he took a look at the audience seats to find them, but due to the dilemma in his head, he can't see properly for a moment. He had made a note to kill them before he leave Konoha, but that will not happen. You guys know why. Orochimaru was brutally snapped out of his thoughts when he was kicked sideways by Jiraiya, who took this chance to start attacking.

Startled once again, Orochimaru make his defense position when he felt something dangerous coming behind him.

'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique'

With the mental command and the hand signs complete, Sarutobi sucked in a large amount of air into his mouth and kneaded it with a large amount of Chakra in his body. He then blew out a great Fireball from his mouth after he had kneaded his Chakra to its needed form.

Orochimaru, being a Senin, easily dodged the fireball and jumped from the porch onto the roof, to which Sarutobi and Jiraiya followed suit.

Sarutobi said this, sure of the victory in his hand, "Give up, Orochimaru. Your attack on Konoha had failed."

"Hmph!" Orochimaru harrumphed, and said, "It won't be that easy to defeat me, Teacher." After this, Orochimaru made a combination of hand-signs to bring out his trump card.

"Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation."

With the jutsu announced, 3 coffins appeared from the roof, one by one. Fearing what those coffins may contain, Hiruzen immediately used 'Earth Release: Gravel' to prevent all coffins from rising, but to his dismay, only one coffin was prevented and was sent back to the earth.

Seeing his jutsu was prevented from completion, Orochimaru snorted and said this with a disdain, "2 coffins? That'll be enough to deal with them." Seeing that his plans had failed and his 4 subordinates are getting thrashed around by Tsunade, Orochimaru knew that he needed to run away from here as fast as possible.

With a *Creak* the two coffins opened to show 2 people which surprised Sarutobi and Jiraiya, but not to the point of getting dumbfounded. Seeing the 1st and 2nd Hokage in front of them was quite a sight to behold, even for the two of them.

"Attack them," with his command given, Orochimaru ran.

Sarutobi and Jiraiya followed suit, attacking and blocking the 1st and 2nd Hokage, who had a surprised look on their faces of being summoned back into the world of living and forced to obey someone else. It's an irony. The one who created it, the 2nd Hokage, was now being controlled by said technique, by someone else.

When Orochimaru is about to jump off from the roof to the direction of the gates, he was stopped by weapons, weapons of all kinds that were thrown towards the ground, a few feets away from him.

Looking at the direction of the weapons, he saw someone unexpected. The golden-haired boy he had ignored for now, was floating in the air, with a different attire that screamed this word 'KING'. He was holding an axe in his right hand, and a stone tome which is glowing for some reason in his left. (A/N: Basically, it's Caster Gil time. Don't worry tho. Reima only dones the Caster Gil outfit cuz he and/or I like it.)

"Now, now," the golden boy, or Reima said with an impassive face, "How can I let a slithering snake like you leave this garden now that I have a liking to this place?"

BEFORE REIMA JOINED THE FRAY,

Reima and the gang are now surrounded by the Konoha Ninjas along with the Civilians who are spectating the matches. Something to note; the former are guarded by the 3 Jounins, Kakashi, Guy, and Anko. They knew who the former is, so they put special care for them. The fact that Reima healed Naruto and Lee is also a plus for them. The four of them looked at the Konoha Ninjas who were fending off the Sand and Sound Ninjas.

"Aren't we going to help them?" Izuku asked. He knew that he is weak for now, but he can't help but wanted to help the Konoha Ninjas in anyway possible.

"We will," Reima answered, "After we get you to safety, Izuku."

Izuku nodded at Reima's answer. He was relieved that the other chat members would be able to help even if he could not. And for the 4th time in his stay in Konoha, Izuku's resolve to grow stronger has grown bigger and bigger. After the attack, he will train under Guy-Sensei and become powerful enough to withstand, no nullify the backlash of OFA.

While Reima was not afraid of Orochimaru, he fear that the snake would attack the weakest link in their group, Izuku. But fortunately, Orochimaru just whisk his face to their side for a moment and then turned away. It seems that he could not see them due to chance, or is it?

Yajima sighed after Orochimaru turned away from them. Izuku was scared shitless when he sees Orochimaru looked at them.

"We need to move, now!" Yajima said. Everyone else agreed.

Izuku, still scared after the encounter, said, "W-wait, I'm s-still scared. P-please-"

But, before he finished his word, someone suddenly appeared behind him as was about to stab him.

"Izuku," Yajima shouted, about to move in to stop the man. The rest of the Jounin sees this too, and was moving towards the boy. But they were beaten to the punch.

The hand that was about to stab Izuku was stopped by a golden gauntlet, holding it firmly. The one who stopped this is none other than Reima, who happened to be near Izuku. By the time he noticed the man, Reima had already donned Caster Gil outfit, ready to beat some ass. And the first ass he got to beat is-

Kabuto, who was surprised that he was stopped by Reima. And the next thing he knew before he passed out was-

that there are golden portals behind Reima and weapons shoot out from them.
