Author's Note: I know a lot of you have been waiting for this story for a long time, but it's finally here. The sequel to The Disappearance Arc, The Shinobi Bloodbath War Arc.
Chapter 1:
Two Months Later
It's been a couple months since Naruto Uzumaki rescued his comrade Hinata Hyuga. Since his former teammate Sasuke Uchiha declared the Fourth Great Ninja War on Konoha, Sunagakure, and Amegakure. He's been focusing his task on getting his village prepared to go at war against Tobi, the masked man who killed Naruto's parents on the day he was born.
His assistant now girlfriend, Sakura Haruno has kept a stable relationship with him despite the village going into the upcoming war. While she does her job at being a medical ninja, Sakura also spends most nights with her boyfriend to keep him calm from a nightmare about her getting killed by Tobi. At the same time he comforts her because of her fear of losing him in the war. The pink haired kunoichi still vows to always be there for Naruto when it comes to dire situations.
Rin Nohara, the medical ninja who was kidnapped by the mist ninja, has now taken in charge as training beginner medical ninja to prepare themselves for the war. She's also been helping Sakura master new medical ninjutsu that she had learned before her final mission with Kakashi Hatake. Rin has also become like a mother figure to Naruto since she had a strong bond with his parents before they were killed by the Nine Tailed Fox.
Itachi Uchiha, the older brother of Sasuke, has become the leader of The ANBU Black OPS under the approval of The Sixth Hokage. The genius Uchiha also picks the strategic and patient shinobi in the ANBU force to be apart of his team. The former rogue ninja also secretly cooperates with Naruto about tracking down Tobi's hideout.
Hinata Hyuga, the former missing nin, has become a sister figure to Naruto and Sakura ever she was rescued from the late elders. The dark blue haired Hyuga also trains with her sister, Hanabi , and Neji to master ninjutsu that'll prep themselves for the war. Hinata also hopes to learn the true potential of the byakugan from her father, Hiashi Hyuga. She lets Naruto know where her progress currently stands.
The Sixth Hokage ordered all of the shinobi to dismiss their missions due to the upcoming Fourth Great Ninja War. This also includes missions involving his friends. Shikamaru has working with his father to formulate a strategy once the other forces meet on the battlefield. Ino, and her father inoichi are gonna communicate with the all the shinobi on the battlefield to check up on progress. Choji and his mother will provide support as the heavy weapons once the war starts. Kiba and Akamaru will focus their attention on tracking down what kind of things the enemy will have against them. Shino will also provide the same assets as Kiba with the exception of using his insects. Tenten will provide ninja tools for shinobi when they come to in contact with the adversary. Rock Lee and his Taijutsu team will be an asset to take down the enemies that are considered to be in the minor league classes. Finally, Neji Hyuga will protect his cousins, Hinata and Hanabi for the sake of the main branch. These were tasks assigned to them by Naruto Uzumaki, The Sixth Hokage.
At this time, the blonde jinchuriki is sleeping with his black shirt, and blue pajama pants. Sakura is wearing her lime green pajama shirt and pants, plus she uses his right shoulder as a pillow to sleep with a smile on her face. Deep within his mind, Naruto walks through the hallway that lead him to the cage of The Nine Tailed Fox.
He doesn't look pleased, "What the hell are you doing here!?"
"I came to have a conversation with you." The blonde jinchuriki said.
"Don't even bother." an aggravated Kyuubi said, "I know you want me to assist you in the upcoming war, and it's not gonna happen."
Naruto chuckles, "No. that's not the reason why I came here."
The Tailed Beast yells, "Then what is?"
"I don't want you to interfere once the war begins." The blonde jinchuriki explains.
He looks suspicious, "Why is that, Naruto Uzumaki?"
"It's because I'm gonna start relying on my own strength instead of yours." Naruto explains to the tailed beast.
The Kyuubi laughs, "I don't believe that, at some point you will rely on my power like you always have in the past."
Naruto turns his back away from the tailed beast, "We'll see about that."
Meanwhile at Mountain's Graveyard
Sasuke is staring at the moon by sitting on top of a boulder. His eyes display the eternal mangekyo sharingan. At the same time, the masked man, Tobi walks outside of the hideout with a new outfit and mask. This comes as a surprise to Sasuke.
"What's with the new getup?" The young Uchiha asks.
Tobi explains, "It's for the upcoming war."
Sasuke understands, "I see, so that's why you were scavenging through the remains of Kirigakure, and Kumogakure over these past few months."
"Exactly." The Masked Man said, "I will show the world what Pain failed to do."
The rogue ninja walks back inside the hideout, "Well, let me know when you're ready to start the war. I want to kill as many of the Konoha shinobi as I can."
Tobi stares at Sasuke walking away with a chuckle, "Spoken like a true avenger."
a voice hisses in the background, "The question is when will we make the first move."
He turns around with a shocked reaction in his eyes, "Kabuto!"
"Relax, I'm here to assist to you." The four eyed shinobi said.
Tobi looks suspicious, "What's your game?"
"To prove my loyalty" Kabuto performs a handsign, "Summoning: Reanimation."
Several coffins shoot up from the ground with the doors falling out. The Masked Man looks amazed by staring at the revived shinobi, "Interesting, I never expected you to have such a fine collection of the dead, Kabuto Yakushi."
Back at The Hokage Mansion.
Sakura moans from the tapping sunlight against her face. She blinked. Shut her eyes. Blinked again. She yawns, and manages to open both of her eyes. Sakura looks at her boyfriend with a smile.
She puts her hands around his body, "Wake up, sleepy head."
He moans, and faces her while sleeping.
"Guess, I'll have to do it my way." Sakura presses her lips against his own.
Naruto wraps his arms around her waist, and press his lips against hers with a smile, "Morning, babe."
"Is that all takes to wake you up?" The pink haired kunoichi asks.
Naruto jokes, "Maybe, is that a problem?"
Sakura giggles, "What do you think?"
They smile at one another, and embrace for a second kiss, "Love you, baby."
She moans as they are kissing, "I love you too."
Three minutes later, they break apart from their kiss, "I don't know where, I'd be without you."
"You're so sweet." a blushing Sakura said in his arms.
He smiles back at her, "You going back to your parent's place tonight?"
"Yeah, they'll get a little suspicious if... you know." a worried Sakura said.
"I know." He kisses her again.
two banging sounds hit the door.
Sakura pulls away from their kiss, "Maybe we should stop."
"Good point." The blonde jinchuriki agrees.
The pink haired kunoichi fixes the bed while her boyfriend opens the door. It's their deceased sensei's friend, Rin Nohara.
"What's up, Rin?" Naruto asks.
She looks worried, "Naruto, you need to take a look at this."
He looks curious in a suspicious way, "Alright." Naruto looks back at his girlfriend, "Hey baby, I'll be back."
"Okay." She said with a cheerful attitude.
The young Uzumaki follows Rin to a crowd surrounding something in the shape of a circle. He starts to become a curious with the crowd standing before him. One of villagers see Naruto walking in their direction.
"Everyone, make way for Lord Hokage." He says.
They clear the way for him, and notices two white sheets completely covered in blood. Naruto looks lost upon seeing the sheets covering the bodies.
"Remove the sheets." The Sixth Hokage ordered.
One of them looks surprised, "But, Lord Hokage..."
Naruto interrupts, "I said remove the sheets."
One of the villagers remove the sheets covering the two dead bodies. Minato's son couldn't believe what he was seeing. Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno on the ground covered in blood.
