Zombie-in-laws

Plot: Semi-sequel to Villian Mistake #1. A series of events leads to both of our heroes' parents being brought from the dead, causing chaos of both dramatic and hilarious proportions to unfold.

Chapter 1

17 years ago, Kurama, the great 9 tailed fox aka Kyuubi, attacked the village of Kohona. His tails lashed out, destroying mountains and causing earthquakes and tidal waves crashing onto dry land.

The ninja of Konoha, guardians of right and enemies of wrong, fought bravely, but they were no match against their ruthless enemy. They soon faced annihilation.

"Hold the attack and wait for Lord Hokage!" Choza Akimichi ordered his men, who grew as large as they could to battle the monster head on.

"It's getting closer!" Fugaku Uchiha roared as his men unleashed their fire style. "Don't let it near the village!"

Two ninja faced the fox in mortal combat and managed to capture and seal the beast in a human body, saving their village and many innocent lives.

Unfortunately, the pair did not survive and the host was their newborn child.

12 years passed before the child learnt what really happened on his birthday, but it would be another 4 before he learnt his parent's role in this. For most of that time, the child was hated, scorned and sometimes abused, yet never did his persistence fail.

By the eve of his the child's 17th birthday, he had gained friends and defeated many enemies, often befriending them in some way. A war had also broken out; a war between the 5 great villages and the terrorist organization Akatsuki, led by the same man who orphaned the boy.

This is where our tale begins….

Tobi plotted his next move from his base at Mountain's grave, irritation filling his being.

Things had been going fine, save for a few hiccups here and there, but nothing he couldn't work around. He had an unstoppable army of undead fighters, plus the Zetsu has snuck into camps and starting killing medics without anyone being able to tell the difference. This was going to become known as the shortest world war with not even two full days of conflict.

And then…HE had come along. The biggest thorn in his side since the day he had been conceived; the one person who had defeated more of his subordinates than any other and excelled at making things more difficult than they already where…. only child of his master.

The boy was once again single handily ruining his plans for the Moon's eye plan; with his new abilities, he could sense the Zetsu spies and was turning them into trees. At the rate he was going (damn clone spells), he'd be on the losing end.

"What do I have to do to get this little brat out of the way?"

Tobi didn't hate the boy solely because of him ruining his plans, though that was a huge reason; it was the boy's personality.

Before becoming the calm and meticulous masked criminal mastermind bent on world enslavement that he was today, Tobi had once been, as previously stated, a student of the brat's father: He'd been brash, impulsive, kind-hearted and caring to those around him with the dream of becoming leader of his village. He had lived by the motto 'those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than that.'

He'd abandoned that childish thought when the love of his life was killed by his best friend to save their home from destruction. Then he'd plotted to cast the world into an enteral sleep, where they'd be reunited and live the perfect life.

The fact the brat had his old persona and had never wavered was what Tobi hated the most about him.

It then struck Tobi; why hadn't he thought of it before? The boy's obvious weakness; he cared too much! Just like he used to.

A Zetsu suddenly appeared from the ground beneath him, haggard and out of breath.

"B-b-boss!"

"What seems to be the problem?" Tobi asked.

"Well….I got good news and bad news." The plant man explained after catching his breath. "The bad is that Sasuke has escaped our custody and is heading for the battlefield just as Itachi broke free of Reanimation. The good is that HE has somehow been resurrected."

Kabuto really did work fast, Tobi mused, some relief filling him. The resurrecting snake-freak had used his mentor to force himself into the alliance, but now that he was awake, he could move more freely while everyone tried to figure out his next move.

As for Sasuke, he'd helped him out of a feeling of clan loyalty and give Konoha something else to worry about, so no sweat off his back.

While his conspirator dealt with the masses, Tobi could handle the boy. All he needed was bait, and he knew just who to get….

Divison One medical tent

"PIGS DON'T HAVE HANDS!"

Sakura Haruno had been taking a quick breather from healing, chugging a water bottle down before taking a seat. As one of the best medical-ninja in the world (if the praise others had given her was any indication), her skills had been in high demand, and she had gained several admirers in the men she had saved.

With that knowledge, her mind suddenly turned to the two men in her life (Lee was nice, but would never be more than a friend); Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. The former she'd been in love with for years…at least, that's what she thought, and the latter had become her best friend and confidante despite his obvious crush on her.

No, not crush, she corrected herself. Love. Naruto Uzumaki was in love with her and had been since he was at least 8 years old. Sasuke had, with the sole exception of the day they'd become a team, never looked at her with any romantic interest.

As to her opening quote?

The Neji-imposter may have fooled her with his chakra and injuries, but when the prodigy and genius had failed to correct her on Tonton the pig weaving hand-signs, he'd outed himself.

"Talk." She growled as she increased the force of her hold. The plant man did nothing but wheeze as purple fluid came from his mouth.

"Thank you Zetsu, that'll be all." A voice from behind her suddenly said.

Sakura turned just in time to see a man in a Rinnegan-like mask wearing black battle gear staring at her before he grabbed her by the mouth. Instinctively, the young woman swung down her arm in a chakra-powered karate chop, rending the limb from his body before he could make his escape.

"Good thing it was my Wood-style arm…" The masked man grumbled as he tied the dripping arm up. "Otherwise I'd be most irritated."

Sakura glared at her opponent. She knew who this was; he may have changed outfits, but it was still the same teleporter with phasing powers who had prevented Naruto from her from retrieving Sasuke on their third attempt and sent them to an alternate word; Tobi.

"Naruto's not here." She said as she entered her battle stance and preparing her reserve seal.

"I'm aware of that." The attacker smiled under his mask. "He'll be here shortly, though. I've placed everyone under a genjutsu that'll cancel when he makes it here. Besides, I'm here for you, young lady."

Sakura was quick to figure out the masked man's reasons for his action.

"That is the biggest cliché in the book!" Sakura glared as she swung her arm to strike her enemy. "Besides, you tried that already, and look how that turned out."

"That was in an alternate world." Tobi reminded her, as he drew his fan. "I know your every move, Ms. Haruno. Resistance is futile."

He then rushed at his target, who nimbly dodged and jumped whilst blocking the fan with a kunai. This lasted for about five minutes before Sakura lost her kunai and she leapt upwards, only to be grabbed.

"Got ya." Tobi smiled as he prepared to teleport.

"You mean I got you." She smirked as her foot made contact and the thin outline of a diamond appeared on her forehead.

Tobi was sent flying through the base, trees and through a boulder before his powers reactivated and he briefly teleported back to his personal dimension.

"Okay, first…WHAT?! Whew, okay, I'm cool now. She's trickier than I thought." He admitted. Losing an arm was one thing, but being caught off guard and sent flying through several tents and a forest with a kick? "No wonder the brat loves her."

Sakura rushed out of what remain of her tent and rushed to Shizune, hoping to at least cancel the genjutsu placed on her. She was quick to dispose of the still awake shinobi, correctly guessing they were Zetsu clones.

Unfortunately, pre-activating her reserve seal (a bad move on her part, she realized, but when faced with an S-class ninja she had no choice) had burnt up most of her chakra and left her tired after the plant men were defeated.

A cloth was suddenly tightly wrapped around Sakura's mouth as a familiar gloved hand appeared and forced her to the ground.

"Sleep." Tobi commanded as he forced the girl into a genjutsu, only to see her cancel it before her arms were tied, as where her legs. She struggled to do the signs for the jutsu to dispel knots, but found she couldn't produce the chakra for it.

"I applaud you for injuring me, young lady." Tobi smirked behind his mask. "But those aren't ordinary binds; they come from the First Hokage's cells."

He then detected his mentor ominous energy and picked up his prisoner, who tried to insult him under her gag.

"Time to get going. Let's see how long the 9 tails lasts when protecting the one he loves." He smiled evilly as he teleported to intercept his master.

When Naruto's clone arrived to the now in ruins base, he found a note addressed to him. Upon reading it, he ripped it up and dispelled, sending the information to the original, who started thundering towards the edge of the island.

"Madara…." He growled.

To be Countinued….
