"Alright then Kakashi you go get your people ready and I get mine, since the battle for Nami no Kuni is about to begin", spoke Inari to which Kakashi just nodded again and left with the other team leaders.
"And let us hope that we can survive it", thought Inari as he grabbed his Samurai helmet and left to Marshall his force to defend their homeland.
Several Hours later in the village of Wave
In the past three hours since the sighting of the Kiri fleet the defenders of Nami no Kuni (Wave Country) rallied themselves into position to defend their country, while the forces of Konoha went ahead to the forest near where the Kiri ships would land. They would then try and delay the Kiri forces for as long as possible until the Wave Samurai and the Militia were ready.
When the Kiri forces landed TenTen and her team launched a long range attack from the cover of the forest onto the exposed Kiri-nins who were landing on the beach. They fired Kunai's, Kunai Grenades, Exploding Kunai's and Shurikens down at the unprotected Kiri Ninja's and killing many, Shino also added support by sending his bugs off and draining the Chakra of many Kiri Shinobi's causing them to fall uncurious due to lack of Chakra. Yamato helped by having wooden spike come up from the ground and impaling several Kiri-nins.
Soon after the Konoha teams made their pre-emptive attack they quickly fell back when they saw more Kiri-nins arriving in larger numbers. As they fell back, the teams activated the traps they had set up earlier along the way so to slow down the Kiri-nins more and to try and lessen their numbers as much as possible. After they had activated all their traps the Konoha teams fell back to the village and behind the wooden walls that Yamato had made.
After another hour or more the Konoha teams and the defenders of Nami no Kuni saw the Kiri-nins arrive, where over six hundred Kiri Shinobi's surrounded the fortified village on all sides. But what worried the Konoha-nins most, was when they saw the Kiri-nins bringing out several large Volley guns out of the forest and positioning them around the village.
-With Isurugi Raijūta (Leader of Kiri Invasion) -
As the Kiri-nins surrounded the village of Nami no Kuni, the Commander of the Kiri invasion force Isurugi Raijūta the last remaining loyal member of the current Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū (Seven Swordsmen of the Mist), stood watching from his command point on a small hill over looking the village.
He saw his invasion forces spread out around the village, he had six hundred Shinobi's surround the village and had the remaining two hundred in reserve back at the landing beach. Although his forces had taken some loses from when they landed on the beach and when they were travelling through the forest to get to village (since some Kiri-nins had been killed or wounded by the traps that the Konoha teams made), his forces were still pretty much intact. As he looked over his force, a Chunin came up to him to make his report.
"Raijūta-senpei we have surrounded the village as you have ordered and the Volley guns have been placed into position", spoke a Kiri-nin Chunin.
"Good"
"Shall we commence our bombardment on the village?" asked the Chunin
"No! We will not, we will blow the walls around the village and take the village as intact as possible", replied Raijūta.
"Sir?" asked the Chunin.
"The village is in a strategic position for us, since it is right next to the bridge, where we can use it as a supply base and a command point for when we open up the next front against Konoha", spoke Raijūta.
"Very well sir I will give out the order for a hole to be blown into a wall", replied the Chunin.
"Wait" called Raijūta, "I want you to blow four separate holes on each side of the wall, one of the left, one on the right, one on the front and one behind them. Then place our forces evenly on each side, so that they are in groups of a hundred and fifty men at each side and those groups are also split into three groups so that we can send them in Waves of fifty. When that's done I want you to send two teams from each side into each hole as skirmishers".
"But sir, what about the Shinobi's that our forces encountered at the beach, from the reports there are at lest six or seven teams. Also there will be no doubt, that there will be many Samurai there as well, those teams we be sending won't be enough to deal with all of them and the civilian fighters there", spoke the Chunin.
"Those men will be only scouts fool, I want to try and test there defences first after which I send a few more in the hopes of luring out the Shinobi's there and see who they are", answered Raijūta.
"Do you think there from Konoha, Sir?" asked the Chunin.
"That is very much possible".
"But how did they find out about us invading Nami no Kunai? We kept it top secret".
"They most likely they learned it from the Toad Sage Jiraiya, since he is infamous for finding things out through his spy network", replied Raijūta.
"Very well the Raijūta-senpei I have what you have ordered done", spoke the Chunin and then left.
Soon after Raijūta gave out his orders the four holes were made on each side of the wall, and the teams were sent through the holes. As the teams moved forward they were attacked by the Nami no Kuni Militia, where men were position inside building and their roofs and would fire their crossbows and bows and arrows at the Shinobi's.
