Helltanz's notes: In commemoration of 100000 hits, I post chapter thirty one. Anyway some strong Anti harem sentiment in the polls, kind of short but once we get back into the main portion of the story they should get longer, though so we are clear Emerging Darkness isn't really my primary focus, for Naruto: I am focusing on Time of Bane, March of Strife, and I will Strive, over Emerging Darkness and Light of Storm at the moment, so updates will be a tad sluggish, though Light of the Storm will see an update probably before the new year simply because I want to get Chapter ten up for that story. The two continents and their populous are taken from Dynasty Warriors, and Kingdom of Paradise, the other hemisphere's continents will be revealed eventually.

Kaze no Kuni, Sunagakure no Sato, Kazekage's tower

"Gaara you look well." Stated Naruto.
"I am for the most part uninjured, Naruto."

"Did you identify-"
The wall is destroyed. "So we were right." Stated a deep voice. "You are allied with these people."

"Well I should have expected you would be involved after all, it was been a while hasn't it?" Naruto smirked. "Well I do wonder why you are here you continent is hardly at peace."

"Our lord will bring an end to the chaos." The rather plump man stated swing his metal staff, which extended moving excessively fast.

"To slow Yuan." Naruto unsheathed Sounga. "Gaara think you can handle Dian Wei." Stated the ANBU leader pushing power through the Oni Juin.

Gaara grinned lunging at the axe wielder who had tried to cleave his arm off earlier. Gaara formed a series of carbon spikes, very dense carbon spikes. The axe wielder jumped back leaping back into the streets of the busy village of the Sunagakure no Sato.

Kaze no Kuni, Sunagakure no Sato, Streets of the hidden village of the sand

Sounga clashed against the staff. Both fighters pushed their weapons pushed fruitlessly.

"How long can you keep this up, after all your only mortal, G class low or not you won't survive if I cleave you in half." Taunted Naruto.

"You over estimate your self you little punk." Snarled the apparently named Yuan.

"It is you who over estimates his own ability." Sneered Naruto. "You shouldn't have come no your going to suffer the consequences."

A pair of chakra luminescent clouds appeared around both fighters.

"Oh yeah you little punk I am not spent yet."
"To slow Xiahou Yuan."

"Huh?"
Naruto plants his boot in the middle of the larger man's back and kicks off dodging the incoming staff. "Sankon Kuragari."

"Damn it." Yuan jumps back to evade the massive wave of evil radiating dark black energy.

The pudgy man dodges but barely.

"You want to show off fine. Kongosoha." A wave of diamond shards erupts flying toward Naruto.

"You will have to do better than that. After all what is the use of all that power if you can't even hit me. Kaminari no Namida." Bolts of lightning fall down from the sky.

"Hinoken."

Naruto dodged the blast of superheated plasma.

"Like I said your far to slow." Stated Naruto. "Sei Ran Giri." Sounga releases an almost starlight like light pattern, Naruto back flips away suddenly, evading several glowing orbs of blue energy. "Huh why hello Zhen Ji, I do so hate fighting women. I really do however grow bored of this." Naruto vanishes as does Yuan.

"Where did they go?" she catches sight of Naruto. "Die!" Naruto doesn't manage to dodge.

A chuckling emerges from behind her. "Well that was easy."

"If you there-"
"Correct you hit Yuan. A slight modification of my Naraku Shoten no jutsu. Tell sweetling do you still coat that whip of your's with poison."

"Let go of me."

"You are such a bore anyway, I do need to go check on Gaara, Mr. I am the coming evil might actually give him a hard time. Wonder how much time Yuan has he didn't expect an attack from a friend." Naruto chuckled.

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato, Hokage's tower

"Correct they were from one of the other continents." Acknowledged Naruto. "Their continent does not possess shinobi villages so the majority of their foot soldiers are nothing but men with out chakra. In the event of an actual invasion the shinobi, even genin would be able to fight one equal ground, a jonin could handle an entire division of foot soldiers, and as they don't have chakra and shinobi do we could exploit jutsu, to further handle their number advantage, it is their officers the regular mid rank officers are around the level of chunin only half actually poses the ability to use chakra based attack, however their upper tier officers are S and G class by our standards, however their continent is in a state of civil war. "

"You mean?"
"Yes Tsume that is what I mean they are in a middle of a war an actual war unlike the pseudo cold war of our continent."

"What do you suggest?"
"Nothing Hiashi-dono, nothing at all." Stated Naruto. "We are in no position to engage in a war against a land across the ocean our continent is already unstable, we can nothing on a large scale of thing, what should do are smaller things, close ranks with our allies and form special units to handle our foreign guests. Though we may be on better terms with Iwa and Rai is all but in flames, if they were to be attacked, or if Otogakure no Sato was to be attacked it would be good for Konohagakure no Sato, Kiri is of use to us in this regard their navy is much more advanced than that of the continent whose natives attacked the dear Kazekage."

Akatsuki HQ

"Well this is certainly a bother. I did not expect that the other continents would become involved so soon."

"Be quiet Madara." Snapped Akito.

"Our Air fleet is hardly ready." Grunted Pein.

"I know, and we need to deal with Jiraiya."
"The other Continents should distract him."

"And the other Biju?"

"We will focus on locating the five tail dog, Shigure must be located before Orochimaru find him, once we have apprehended Shigure we will focus our attention entirely on military build up to counter the other Continents."

"Naruto what of Yuki no Kuni?"

"if the rumors are true of a relic of lost technology that is a weapon, we will either need to destroy it or capture it."
"I believe it would be advisable to destroy it certain weapons of the previous epoch are to dangerous to be allowed to exist."

"Agreed."

"What about the continent of Siema?"

"The excavation is proceeding as scheduled we should be ready to commence repairs soon."

"If we can successfully restore the device."
"Then our task will be that much closer to completion. Focus our forces on eliminating those of that come from the kingdom of Wei that have arrived on here, unless their actions may prove beneficial."

"Hai."

Chapter Conclusion

Helltanz's notes: Well that was chapter thirty one, I had intended to show Gaara's Oni Juin demon fusion with Shukaku but decided not to write Gaara's fight scene. Anyway this might be my last update, see author's note top of chapter, for this year, might I emphasize that because, again see author's not at top of chapter, though it is possible I might get one more posted before new years, but mainly I am focusing on my other story's. It may be just me but I think I have turned the Akatsuki into a really, uh Order of the Rose Cross like group, that's probably just me, I may just be over thinking things, I seem to have Trinity Blood on the brain. Any way as always comments are welcome. Filler chapter next chapter, well probably, depends, but probably Konoha action next chapter, it is highly likely.

Guns will never appear in Naruto, ever, at least not in this story, bows, crossbows, swords, spears, gunpowder will only be used in explosives, guns will not make an appearance, arbalests and catapults sure why not, guns not gonna happen. I will start posting this more frequently probably next spring, may be next summer.
