Obito's eyes went wide in shock, unable to believe what had just happened. Instead of resurrecting only Madara which was the plan, all of the previous Hokage had come back too. The silence on the battlefield was deadly and the tension in the air was thick enough to be cut with a knife. The shinobi alliance looked on mix a mixture of fear and hope. They were hopeful because

Naruto turned his head to see his father standing there, as human as he was. Skin intact as well as the rest of him.

His dad was no longer dead. In his mind flashed so many possibilities of what could be; father and son reunited against the odds, a loving parent that he had never had the opportunity to have his whole life… the chance of a real family bond.

Meanwhile on the other side of the battle field Hashirama quickly scanned his body to make sure this was some sort of wicked trickery. After everything that Madara had pulled they were not too sure what was real and what wasn't. The surreal situation had caught everybody off guard and no one was quite sure what to say. Sakura openly gawked at Minato and a tsunami of questions flooded her mind, however she kept them to herself because she knew that she wasn't the only person who needed answers. But if they won, all would be revealed. They had to win; there was no way so many people had died just for them to lose when they were so close to victory.

Madara looked the most stunned out of all of them. His eyes narrowed dispassionately as all of his enemies had gained their full power. This would not stop him though, the ten tails was sealed inside him already, there was no way he was going to let over two centuries of meticulous planning go to waste. They would have to kill him first.

Not a second later the battlefield burst into a commotion of action as the Zetsu army attacked the Allied Shinobi Nations, and the previously dead Kages advanced on Madara and Obito. Minato rushed forward first, but hesitantly, he didn't want to die so soon after being revived. He threw jutsu after jutsu, but they were all either blocked or dodged easily; it seemed as though the only person who stood a chance against Madara was Hashirama, and said man was currently taking down the many Zetsu's relentlessly, without pause.

In a moment of distraction, Minato was hurled backwards with immense force, and cracked his skull when his body hit the ground. Crimson red gushed out of the side of his head and his vision swam, darkness threatened to claim him.

At times like this Sakura thanked kami for her choice to become a Medic Nin, and jumped in to heal her best-friends father. Pushing chakra into her palms, she could feel his skull reconnect once more and his skin close up, satisfied that he would not die from blood loss she jumped back, and summoned Katsuyu.

"Sakura-hime."

"Katsuyu, I need you to split and heal the all injured shinobi, okay?"

"Hai, Sakura-hime" without further ado, the giant slug multiplied into thousands of tiny versions of herself and set out to complete its task. Tsunade nodded approvingly at Sakura before refocusing on her battle.

It seemed to be a lost cause as no one could even touch Madara, he was a legend in his own right and only Hashirama was on his level. When the two men started to fight one-on-one, nobody interfered as this battle was fought by old friends now enemies. It was bitter and painful to watch. They made eye contact for a fleeting moment, but that was all that they needed. A mutual understanding crossed between them, this would be the last time and there was no holding back as each was set in their beliefs.

"Madara."

"Hashirama."

They were blurs, to those who watched a deadly force to be reckoned with and to be doubted at one's own peril. Tobirama watched on, this was the final battle between them and there would only be one outcome. He did not trust Uchiha and would never let one kill his brother. With that that in mind he turned his attention to Obito, the poor boy who had been manipulated into following Madara's crazed plan.

Kakashi looked at his former teammate with a forlorn expression on his face. It wasn't meant to happen like this. A wave of heartache rippled through his being and he pushed down the overwhelming urge to cry. Cry for the death of his mother. The suicide of his disgraced father. The death of the Obito he knew. The way in which Rin was killed. The sacrifice of his mentor. The hate that consumed Sasuke. It seemed as though his life was for tragedy and disaster.

A bitter taste filed his mouth as he stared at Obito. Kakashi did not want to fight. He was so tired. Was this the price of being a skilled shinobi? Everyone around you died. The Uchiha watched him, without a flicker of emotion in his eyes. He was too far-gone and redemption was out of the question.

"Obito... what happened to you?" The question went unanswered as the two went head to head. The copy ninja sent a kick towards his head and this attack was blocked before Obito retaliated with a punch to Kakashi's side, they carried on like this for minutes before they started to use their jutsu and the battle become more intense. Kunai clashed, jutsu clashed, they clashed.

"Sakura-chan!" the hyperactive blonde landed beside her, "Let's find Sasuke! And take out these Zetsu's as team seven!"

Sakura nodded and with a determined look in her eye scanned the battlefield for her former teammate, once he was found, Naruto and her headed to towards him. Sasuke looked at them briefly as he continued to take down the Zetsu's.

"Teme! Let's work together and take 'em all out!"

"Hn."

The three stood in a triangular formation, back to back, as they fought. Naruto used his flying Rasengan to take down those in directly front of him: while Sakura went to a close range technique by weaponizing her chakra scalpels to stab the opponent in multiple areas that were vital. Sasuke's sword was effective for short distance but decided to mix things up by frying his opponents with Chidori at the same time. They made a formidable team.

Through the corner of his eye Sasuke glimpsed at Sakura, the look was calculating and possibly soft but there was no time to dwell on this as not long after, a large explosion shook the ground and create a large crater. Shifting his gaze, it came from Madara and Hashirama's battle. It seemed to be concluding, just as Obito and Kakashi's was as well.

There was a moment of silence as Kakashi forced his fist that was engulf with Chidori, through Obito's chest.

"Killing me the way you killed Rin, huh. How symbolic." Obito sunk slowly to the ground with Kakashi, who kept him in his arms. The Uchiha's eyes watered apologetically as they became glossy. "At least I can be with her now…" Obito Uchiha was dead. Kakashi looked at the lifeless body in arms and screamed in anguish. The sound was full of pain and self-hatred; it made Naruto's skin crawl while Sakura looked at him nervously.

They had never seen their sensei in such an emotional state and did not know what to do. Kakashi's body shook viciously as all of his supressed emotions bubbled over like an eruption. Sakura jumped to side immediately to find that he was going into shock from what just happened and without much thought, knocked him out.

She was not too sure if it was the right thing to do as was heavily skilled shinobi, but considered that it was the best thing to do. She called over one of the mini slugs, "Take him to a safe location, and heal him, okay?"

"Hai, Sakura-hime." The slimy creature slithered away at a rather quick pace for a slug. Sakura turned at her attention to the revived Tobirama, and stared at him in awe, undeniably he was handsome. He had this feral look in his eyes that gave him a dangerous edge and this kept her noticeably tense. Said man had noticed her gaze and turned to face her fully, he could do this because the battle was winding down and there were less Zetsu's to fight. With his attention on her, Sakura cold now get a good look at his dark red, nearly black, eyes. They were similar to looking in the depths of an abyss. Her analysing was cut short as Sasuke landed next to her alongside Naruto.

"Go to the front lines, you need to help heal Hashirama when his battle is over, he cannot die. Madara must not succeed." With a firm nod, the Medic Nin obeyed the former Hokage's command and bounded to the front, near Tsunade.

"Good work Sakura, you've learnt a lot." The woman let a smile grace her face as she looked adoringly at her student.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

Even though they called it the front lines, they were all still a safe distance from the main fight; it was obvious that any closer would be perilous. Currently Madara was weakened, but Hashirama was worse off as blood was pouring profusely from his arm, at his rate he would bleed out before the combat ended. It seemed as though that was what Madara was waiting for.

He was currently atop Susanoo, while Hashirama was in sage mode, on his wooden thousand hands. This was a battle between giants. The two constructions punched and kicked at the other until Hashirama was finally able to see an opening and broke through the barrier and defence of Susanoo, knocking Madara to the ground. There was no chance of a smooth landing due to chakra exhaustion and overexertion. The Uchiha lay there stunned, as the impact cracked many ribs and left him breathless.

"It seems history repeats itself…" Madara looked up at Hashirama, similarly, to when they fought at the valley of the end. "Over a century later and I still can't seem to win against you." Hashirama grimaced at the memory. He would not plead with Madara like last time.

"Goodbye old friend. Your death shall be quick." The Uchiha accepted this and waited for the finishing blow, a kunai to the back of the head. Once done, Hashirama stood above Madara and allowed a single tear to slide down his face. The war was over. Tsunade order Sakura to help Hashirama while she healed the other shinobi. The younger girl started to heal him at once, and all the while, she was tense. Being in the presence of one of the greatest ninja alive was rather intimidating.

During this, all of the previous Kages walked towards their position, to talk about their unexpected revival. Sakura kept silent throughout, it was not her place to interrupt. Hashirama looked weary as they all did, and began to speak, "Does anyone have any idea how this happened?"

Minato nodded solemnly, "I'm not too sure, but I think the Impure Resurrection Jutsu went wrong somewhere, and I'm sure it's not just us that have been revived permanently. We need to see who else this could have affected." They all hummed in agreement and turned their attention to the eyes upon them. Now that the battle was over and many were receiving medical help, those who were uninjured openly gawked at the once dead legends.

Hiruzen looked back at this and noted that they could not do anything until there was a formal meeting and all of ninja were accounted for. In all honesty, Hiruzen did not want to be revived, in death, he had found peace, but now all of that was in disarray.

When Sakura was sure that she had healed the first Hokage to the best of her ability, she stepped back to analyse her work, oblivious to Tobirama's gaze upon her. As small as she was, Sakura was not to be underestimated and to do so would surely result in death.

It seemed as though Konoha had kept producing a high quality of ninja's since his death, although from what he saw on the battlefield they were certainly more emotional compared to his generation.

His dark orbs roamed over her form. Her uniform was drenching in blood- none of it hers. There was something memorable, about the girl. Perhaps it was the unusual pink hair, or the emerald eyes; he was not too sure.


There aren't enough sakuraxtobirama stories and if they are its mostly all time-travel, which is good but I wanted to keep a lot of the characters. :)Hope you enjoyed it and feedback will let me know if I should bother continuing and post the next chapter or just scrap the story. Tell me if there's anything you want to see, couples and events, and typo's.
