Journey of Desires

- Well, I wanted to fight with Guy, in short, okay, I'm upset, it's time to finish.

This phrase created a very strong tension among the bunch of ninja around, well, how else, a minute earlier this man was literally pressed into the ground, and now he stands completely intact and says that he is tired, like it or not, he will have to strain himself.

But Hiruzen did not wait to see what the attackers decided to do, since the staff was temporarily unavailable and using something global was dangerous, since it could affect both his subordinates and buildings, he decided to use the technique of earth underground swimming while no one was paying attention to him and approached what he considered the weakest member of the enemy squad, Hikari.

Only his plans were not destined to come true, well, or rather, he used the technique and even passed Kiliya, finding himself behind the Uchiha, but when he was preparing to take her hostage to change the course of the battle, the only thing he managed to notice was the Mangekyo Sharingan in the girl's eyes and how his clothes, starting from his shoulder, caught fire with a black flame.

- Hikari! Remove Enton, we don't want the old man to really die that day.

Hikari obeyed and the flame began to die out, although the burns that the Hokage managed to get in a couple of seconds were still quite strong, but even someone of the level of Iryenin rank B could fix them, the next moment...

- Doton: Earthen Wall

The cries of a dozen ANBU ninja were heard, who reacted instantly and began to push the opponents away from the Hokage.

- Katon: Fire Dragon Bullet

- Katon: Phoenix Flame

- Katon: Fireball

- Katon: Lesser Fire Destruction

Also, after the four walls surrounded the four girls, separating them from Hiruzen and Ban, quite a few fire techniques were used, which were then reinforced with the wind element, although out of all the many Ninja around, only two had the wind element.

- Futon: Gust

- Futon: Air Projectile

Seeing this rather dangerous situation for ordinary people and weak ninja, the members of the Hyuga clan fell into horror, and on the face of Hiashi, who had already managed to return to consciousness a couple of seconds ago and get into a fighting stance, an expression of Fury instantly appeared, after all, Hinata was still near Kiliya. Of course, he doesn't care about the lives of the two invaders and the jinchuriki, but seeing that Hinata was there, he had a lot of emotions, and absolutely none of them pleasant.

However, his thoughts immediately changed, as he saw that Ban, who was standing next to him, was covered in strange distortions, and the next moment, four girls appeared in his place, who had been surrounded a moment ago.

It immediately dawned on him that a technique similar to a substitution had been used, but Ban himself had swapped places with the girls, and now all the shells would hit him.

Explosion!

After the fire hit the target, the ANBU ninja again used the earth technique, turning 4 walls into a closed space, adding something like a domed roof. In fact, Ban was locked in a stove where he first received an explosion, then a flame in a completely closed place, which burns out the air and makes the enemy suffocate if he was somehow still alive.

True, Kiliya did not want to wait for the result, and although she was weak in spatial magic, she could cut off an area by teleporting it somewhere without any problems.

The next moment, everyone saw Kilia take a step forward, and most of them thought that she was trying to somehow break through and save her relative, but they still did not have time to place her, since the only thing she did was wave her hand towards the earthen structure and utter a phrase.

- Section 1: Transfer.

Realizing that they did not have time, everyone turned their heads towards the flames that burst out in all directions, since it did not have time to burn out completely, but the oxygen was already running out, when it received a new dose of air, it flared up, generating another explosion.

The silence lasted for about ten seconds, after all, the ninja did not understand Kiliya's abilities, and the black-haired girl who turned out to be an Uchiha was very dangerous. In silent agreement, everyone decided to just wait for the enemy's next move.

- Brother, I told you literally a minute ago, stop messing around!

These words surprised those around, after all, it was one thing when this man recovered from a simple blow with a staff, but it was quite another when they treated him so casually after an attack of such a scale.

- Khekhhe, sister, you don't feel sorry for me at all.

Hearing the cough, everyone turned their gaze towards Ban, their eyes had a rather unpleasant look. This especially shocked Naruko and Hinata, because although Naruko understood Ban's powers and that he might have gotten used to pain and regeneration, but still seeing this for the first time made her feel a little nauseous, and Hinata didn't expect anything like this at all.

But still, it's worth giving credit and neither Naruko nor Hinata vomited, unlike a large number of people around who only recently became ninjas and had not yet been on combat missions, and if they did, then the sight of a half-burned man on whose left hand bones were visible calmly walking towards them, and his wounds literally healed before their eyes and having already taken 4 steps forward, Ban's body was restored to the level where the hair on the left side of his head began to grow back.

As a result, the entire Ban appeared to the view of those around him, with the top of his suit burnt and absolutely all the fabric missing on his left arm, shoulder and part of his torso.

- And why should I feel sorry for you? You climbed into the fire yourself, and you still dare to say that you are not a masochist?

- Well... I must admit that the sensations from the recovering body are quite pleasant, reminiscent of a pleasant tingling in the muscles after a hard physical workout.

Hearing these words, a victorious expression appeared on Kiliya's face, although it immediately disappeared after she heard the rest of the phrase.

- But I don't like pain, I'm not a masochist.

In response, he saw looks of complete denial and distrust not only from Kiliya and Naruko, but also from most of the surrounding ninja.

It is worth noting that most had already noticed that the attackers were not attacking any of them to death, and relaxed a little.

- Hey, what are these looks? I'm not Jiraiya to get a kick out of beatings! I like to punch people in the face myself!

In response, he saw only the same looks that read "No way!"

- I just didn't understand what kind of looks these are? Do you want proof?

There was one very brave but incredibly stupid chunin in the crowd who shouted out a phrase that would be remembered by everyone for months to come, and not even because he dared to say it, but because of the consequences that awaited him.

- We want it! Show me the proof!

Ban's eyes narrowed and his emotions filled with a little anger, even some no-name dared to troll him!

- Hahahahahaha!

A rather pleasant and melodic laugh was heard from Kilia, puzzled looks were directed at her, but she said nothing and only continued to look at Ban, who was frozen and thinking about something.

- Um, Kilia, why are you laughing?

- M? Hikari? Isn't it clear?

In response, she saw Uchiha shaking her head in denial, and decided to explain anyway.

- Well, if briefly, for me this situation is doubly funny, firstly, I haven't heard anyone who is clearly below his level make fun of Ban for 7 years and this kind of thing amuses me, and secondly, this ninja is about to die. The last time someone decided to make fun of him like this, making him out to be a masochist, this person was found in the bell of the local church, that man was wearing pants and a shirt made of nettles, and they found him hanging upside down inside the bell. A guy noticed him, who was going to work in the morning to start calling about the beginning of a new day.

- Um... well... okay?

Seeing Hikari's puzzled face, Kilia only smiled even more and jumped on the Uchiha, securing her in her arms.

- Mmm! Mmphph!

Hikari couldn't speak, but she made her position on being let go very clear, and yet Kilia decided to take pity and let her go, turning towards Ban.

She did it at the most perfect moment, because as soon as she turned her gaze to her brother, he disappeared in distortions, appearing next to the unlucky Shinobi, taking him by the shoulder, he disappeared again.

- Eh, rest in peace, the mental health of this unknown ninja. Let's express our condolences with the most appropriate word in this situation - F!

- Ef?

- Yes, Kilia, F!

- What does this mean?

- I'll tell you later, don't worry.

The Konoha ninja were on pins and needles all morning today, seeing the invulnerability of their opponent and how I don't even pay attention to them, some of them even had the feeling that they were just decorations in this situation.

Some of them, seeing the moment, yet the main problem in Ban's face evaporated, decided to move on to action, thereby motivating the rest of the ANBU ninja, Hyuga and the Konoha Shinobi who had come up a few minutes after the explosions earlier.

Kiliya, seeing that the action had again moved on to battle, used water magic to create very thin needles that went in all directions, they did not cause much damage but drove away the opponents.

Then she turned to Naruko and Hikari, took a few steps and sat down next to Hinata, starting to squeeze her cheeks.

- Mmm? White-eye, why are you so red? Ah! Oh... Ahahaha, did this idiot tie you up in the shibari style? Ahahahaha

In response, she saw only the plaintive look of the Hyuga girl and with a silent direction of mana slightly weakened Ban's spell, making the ropes not so tightly tied.

- So, do you want to fight the Konoha ninja? I will help, don't be afraid, and this is a great situation for me to finally understand the level of usefulness of Yachihoko. What do you say, Hikari?

- Okay!

Looking at Naruko, she saw only a nod, and was about to get up and use one of her main skills, but the ninja, hearing that they were going to use some dangerous technique, moreover, apparently related to the Uchiha clan, immediately rushed to the targets trying to interfere. True, they were again driven away by a huge stream of water needles, which this time did not stop for about five seconds.

- Okay, enough to languish, Hikari use Yachihoko.

The next moment, everyone around saw how the girl's Sharingan pattern swirled in her eyes, quickly changing to Mangekyou, which resulted in the phrase "Yachihoko!", after which the Uchiha herself and Naruko next to her were covered with a layer of chakra visible to the eye and white lightning occasionally flashing nearby.

Naruko felt a huge surge of strength, and for the sake of interest, she looked at her statistics in the system, where it was indicated that her strength, agility, speed and endurance had increased by three thousand, and her chakra reserves had changed from 1200 to 18700. Seeing such an increase, she was about to express everything she thought about such a cheat, but Kiliya interrupted her.

- Hmph, I haven't used this for a long time. Okay!

Taking a deep breath and exhaling, she continued.

- Wolf Unity!

At that moment, Hikari and Naruko felt an even greater increase, and deciding to look into the system at that very moment, Naruko was completely speechless.

Level: 545 (temporary) / 45

HP: 32000/32000

MP: 0/0

CP: 78000/78000

CP (Biju): 130000/130000

RP: 90/90

Ki: 120/120

Unallocated points: 0

Prana: 1

Strength: 9320 (320)

Stamina: 9110 (110)

Speed: 9298 (298)

Agility: 9078 (78)

Wisdom: 65

Intellect: 23

Control: 5090 (90)

The buffs from Yachihoko and Wolf Unity overlapped, making the stats from Naruto someone who could now fight Madara, and probably not even with a regular one, but with the Edo Tensei version or the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, well, most likely with Madara when he was a jinchuriki but did not have a second Rinnegan.

Turning their shocked gaze to Kiliya, the two enhanced girls received only an understanding smile and heard the phrase.

- Have fun, and I'll keep an eye on Hinata, I got it right that you didn't just decide to kidnap her?

Naruko answered affirmatively and disappeared from sight.

The next moment, the sound of someone being sent into a wall was heard. Kilia herself looked at Hikari with the expression "Are you just going to wait?", after which the Uchiha also disappeared and began to incapacitate the ANBU ninja with precise movements, trying not to kill them.

After a couple of minutes of such fuss and mockery of the self-esteem of the Konoha Shinobi, Hiruzen returned to the battle regiment already in full fighting form and with his staff already restored, before he could say a word, Naruko appeared in front of him and with one blow broke the staff again, and with a kick of her foot sent the old man back in the direction from which he came.

After which, the next moment, she heard the voice of Ban, who had returned, who was literally beaming with joy, but for some reason decided that it was time to stop.

- It's time to finish, let's go!

Kilia reacted instantly, quickly lifting Hinata, holding her in her arms, she canceled the enhancement from her magic, and Ban decided not to wait for Naruko and Hikari to understand and return to them, he used teleportation, he quickly took these two, and then teleported all five.

The whole situation was seen by a dozen remaining whole ninja, as well as Hiruzen, who, although he was sent back, immediately returned to the battlefield.

Not understanding what was happening and why everything had stopped so abruptly, he ordered more people to be gathered and to start transferring all the wounded to the hospital, including himself calling on shadow clones and sending her to do the same thing, while the real body assessed the damage and thought about why all this could have happened and who had sent a Ninja of such power to attack the Hidden Leaf Village.
