I don't own Naruto

Chapter 1:- Opening song of the end

Chaos, there was the exact description of what was going on. The fourth great war was going on, the Fourth division of the Shinobi Alliance's leader Godaime Kazekage Gaara and Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki along with Natsumi Uzumaki Namikaze, one of the twin sibling, the second out of the three children of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. They were currently gathering the injured and the death bodies of their forces members to be healed (for injured) and collected (for the death).

Natsumi was a beautiful girls, she was the splitting image of her mother Kushina but with Cerulean blue eye of her father. She wore a standard Konoha Shinobi uniform with Shinobi's alliance forehead protector placed securely on her head. She was found sat on one of the rock in the deseart where the battle was located along with her twin brother, Satoshi.

Satoshi Uzumaki Namikaze was entirely different from his sister, to the point that no one would believe that they were twins. He was the splitting image of their father but with three whisker marks on both of his cheeks.

Both of them could be found staring to the group of the collective shinobis, they stared intently but their minds were focused elsewhere. Satoshi thought 'when is this war going to end, I couldn't wait to end this once and for all. I wish 'he' was here so that I could show him how strong I'm but it doesn't matter since he was a goner…sign…I wish I could apologize to him but he was actually gone'

Natsumi had a different idea 'I wished that you are happy wherever you are Onii-Chan. We…I mean I missed you very much. I wished that I could tell him that…that…sign. Enough depressing thought. Once this mess is done, I'm going to continue to find him, not for my mother, father but for myself. I will make a place where he could call home even though I have to marry him or have children with him…Wait…Children!" she spotted a blush but quickly shrugged it off. "It is wrong but I love you. Naruto Onii-chan' thought Narumi before shifting away from such depressing thought and tried to distract herself from such depressing thought but failed to do so.

Why it coming to this? You see Namikaze family have three children, Naruto, Natsumi and Satoshi respectively. Naruto was one year older than Natsumi and Satoshi who were twins. At Oct 10th night, a powerful mask-man known as Tobi (or Madara Uchiha as he called himself) ripped the Kyubi no yoko, the nine tailed demon fox out of Kushina Uzumaki's body and manipulated 'her' into attacked Konoha. The raging Bijuu caused destruction of Konohagakure and lot of life loss in that day. In the end, Minato Namikaze Yondaime Hokage of Konoha at the time, divided the Bijuu into three parts; Yin, yang Chakra into Natsumi and Satoshi respectively while the remnants Chakra was sealed into Naruto.

The twins were praised as a hero while Naruto on the other hand was a patriarch. He was usually beaten daily as well as ignored by most of his family. He was also denied for training and helped of any kinds but even then he had few friends namely Yugao,Kotetsu, Izumo, Hayate, Kurenai, Hana, Anko, Itachi, Mikoto, Gai and at some extent Kakashi who helped him trained. His godmother Tsunade also gave him emotional supported so, he started to recover nicely. Natsumi was very nice to him and therefore became one of the few people that actually prevented him from getting berserked.

But one day, at the age of 6, he was denounced from the Clan heir, given to his siblings instead. That completely shattered his heart. To made matter worse, when he was able to defeat his brat of the brother Satoshi, he was scolded with harsh words and some beating from both his parents, they said that he was useless and wished that he was never borned. Terrified and with great anger, he forcibly unleashed the remnants chakra of Kurama, result in the second Kyubi attack all over again. Take advantage of the chaos, he ran away from the villages with some regrets as he left his dear sister behind.

After the village recovered as the remnant chakra was sealed into the siblings, the family returned back to normal or was it? They later found that Naruto didn't die from the second kyubi attacked; rather he unleashed the Kyubi with intent to destroy everything. As everyone wondered why he did so, Natsumi solved the puzzle as she found her big brother personal journal which contained every single detail of his life and how he detested the villages and his family.

The Namikaze families' hearts were shattered that day. They never realized what they had done to their family members. Kushina and Natsumi were crying uncontrollably for the whole day, when Satoshi badmouthed him, Natsumi in anger beat the shit out of him; said that he should had died. When Kushina and Minato scolded her for beating her brother, she snapped as she skillfully attacked both of her parents with intent to kill, she was stopped however with the timely arrival of Tsunade. She stopped in her godmother's arm as she cried uncontrollably, cursing her family for damning 'her' Naruto and confessed about how much she love him, more than she should. They were shocked and from that day the words 'Naruto' became a taboo for Namikaze's family especially Natsumi as the mere mention of 'her' brother's name resulted in cold stared with some killing intent from it. Several academy students, civilians or even some Chunin nearly had their life forfeit when they badmouthed Naruto in her presence. Satoshi became more reserved and submissive to Natsumi, in fear that she would kill him as the last time even their parents almost couldn't stopped her from ramming Rasengan into his head when he badmouthed Naruto in front of her. The reason why they almost couldn't stop her was because this time she studied the scrolls which her dear brother lefts behind for her and casted a special barriers that barred her parents out and started to beat him into blood pulps, very painfully. The Namikaze family and Konoha almost lost Namikaze heir (Satoshi) that day, by the hand of his twin who was Uzumaki Heiress.

Natsumi gained some friends over time namely Lee and Tenten; her resolved was stronger than ever to bring her brother back not to their family but to her since she believed that only she could gave him happiness. She was trained by Naruto's Jounin friends including their Godmother Tsunade and Kurama's Yin half thus she got strong really fast. She warmed up to her family after a while but refused their offers for training as she wished to become strong by her own, this upset her family greatly but they couldn't do anything about it. After she graduated from the academy, she was put into a team with Kakashi and her mother Kushina as Jounin sensei. Her teammates consisted of herself, Sakura the Banshee, her bastard (as she called him) of a brother Satoshi and lastly as well as the one she detested the most was Sasuke Uchiha the so called 'Last Uchiha'. She detested him in every fiber of his being, he persistently demanded her to married him in order to restarted his 'great' clan , said that she should be honored to gained his attention and her weakling of a brother got what he deserved. Needless to say, she completely dismantle him, almost crippled him for life but that still couldn't stopped him from trying. He even retorted to had a Shinobis kidnapped her and almost raped her but she effectively and brutally kelled most of her captive and almost killed Sasuke if not for the intervention of her mother. Still her hated for him was getting stronger.

During the Wave mission, she and her team encountered Naruto by chance; she had a brief and lovely conversation with Naruto. She begged him to come back to her as she loved him more than she should. Naruto was of course shocked from this but declined as he had something to do. Before she could grab him, he embraced her tightly before faded away like a wind. He left her several jutsu/weapons scrolls, and beautiful platinum necklaces with phoenix-shaped blue diamond pendant, he told her to get stronger as he would see her again someday. Her determination only risen as a result and she began to understand the feeling of 'love'. She trained harder since the mission and smiled more often which made her family and the villagers felt awkward since all she acted toward them was cold and uncaring, well except for her precious people (Her and Naruto's friends including Hiruzen and Tsunade). During the chunin exam, Orochimaru made appeared in Konoha. He started to assault Natsumi's team and managed to brand Sasuke with Curse seal of Heaven and started to battle Natsumi and her remaining teammates. Sakura, the weakling that she was, taken out of the battle pretty quick, Satoshi made a better fought with high-chunin battle skill but still beaten as he was no match for a powerful sannin. Natsumi fought at her hardest, she used everything she had at the time, Nin, Tai, Gen or even Kenjutsu and tactic but still couldn't beat him because at best she was high jounin-level which still outclassed by Sannin's experience and superior battle skill as well as advantages despite she managed to surprise him several times.

But before he could be able to marked Natsumi, he was interrupted by timely arrived Naruto. He briefly fought Orochimaru at the distance, away from prying eye. Natsumi followed to the scene and found the unexpected; Orochimaru was beaten by her beloved brother/crush. Unfortunately, Orochimaru was able to escape via reverse summoning before Naruto could dealt a fatal blow to him but still he sustained serious injury. Naruto however disappeared into a bright white wormhole before Natsumi could catch up to him but not before she noticed him coughed up blood. During the third Chunin exam, there was sand-sound invasion. Orochimaru attempted to killed Hiruzen and Minato with the reanimated Hashirama and Tobirama Senju but that failed due to the intervention of Godaime Mizukage Mei Terumi, Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki as well as Yondaime Raikage A and his injury inflicted from his prior battle which result in his defeat and his hands were sealed at the cost of Hiruzen's life.

All three Kages surprisingly known about Naruto as they met him at some point after his defection from Konoha and acquired his helped. Namikaze's family and Konoha councils of course demanded to know where he was, Namikaze family to try to get him back into the family again and to got to Natsumi's good side, Council to gained more power or in Danzo (secretly) case new recruit for his Root as they be smarted for once and no longer believed he was a demon (someone them still did but that was minority). Of course the Kages refused for their own reasons, Raikage and Tsuchikage as a favors to him due to the facts that he helped them dealt with the village's problems in the past (and it couldn't helped as Naruto was engaged to the Kunoichi of their villages as the sign of good faith- not that he would complained or anyone knew about this), Mizukage as she wouldn't sold out the hero of her country (This was clarify as she told them everything about the Civil war, How Naruto changed the tide of the war and defeated the 'controlled' Yagura and his elite shinobis single handly with his 'unique' power minus the battle scene and description of his ability of course). Everyone (from Konoha) was shocked at this and more determined than ever to brought him back for their own reasons. Sasuke later defected from Konoha to Otogakure when Natsumi was out of the village not that she cared because she now had an excuse to kill him. It took an hours or pleas and persuation from several people to tried to change her mind from killing Sasuke on spot to retrieve on spot. Surprisingly, she accepted much to everyone's relief, little did that they knew that she would broke him as she thought that they only need him alive so, she would let him live but she would 'punished' him to the point he wished to die.

Natsumi became very powerful; she was able to take down Sasori, Hidan and Kakuzu by herself. She met her fellow Jinchrikis Yugito Nii of the two Tailed Monster Cat Matabi at some point during the guarding mission to Kumogakure but she was suspicious of her because she would secretly smiled dreamily whenever she talked about her beloved brother/crush but she would investigate that later. Satoshi became stronger too but he was high A rank at best while she was SS rank. She also met Kurotsuchi during the collaboration mission to take down one of Orochimaru's base, unfortunately he escaped again but she almost killed him which was quite a feat in itself. She took several missions and tried her best to search for her brother Naruto but the efforts were in Vain. The goddess of luck smiled upon her as she met him again during the mission to Kirigakure. This time she found that he was in very bad shape, he would cough up blood after a few moments of talking. He said that he might not be able to saw her gain and about to leave. Before she could question what he meant by that, he embraced her into a warm hug and peck her forehead. She could felt some powerful yet calming aura flowing into her body and her necklace started to glow in power before fading away. Before she could say anything (due to shocked from the kiss), he gave her a genuine smile, gave her something like a map and told her that her necklace was a key before bid her fair well and leave. He said he would always love her no matter what as he faded away in the wind.

After her last encounters with her beloved brother, she skipped dinners with her family occasionally to study the map. The map led her to the Uzumaki's abandoned stronghold, she found that here was a place where her brother would hide and planned his operation. She face palmed herself for not even thought about it because the location was so near to Konoha but hidden in the forest. She found the truth about her clan and how they actually survived the Uzushiogakure's fallen; she knew that the clan once contacted Kushina to return with them but she declined so, they left for undisclosed location. She discovered a gift that her brother left for her, the phoenix contracts. She then trained herself very hard at that place from the elder bird name Ho-ho guidance (just borrow a new, not the appearance). Her families were worried about her due to her sudden disappearance so; Kushina and Satashi started to looked for her with no avail. Natsumi was able to master her power enough to be able to faced fully awakened Nagato with his sacred Rinnegan and defeated him in the end when others including her father and mother as well as godparents failed to did so.

Then, that blasted Sasuke decided to allege himself with the Akatsuki and attacked Raikage's younger brother Killer Bee and even attacked the Kages during the summit at the land of Iron. After that the mask-man who called himself Madara Uchiha declared fouth shinobi war with the five great nations and the Great War started since then. The only good thing that happened was that Danzo died in his fight against Sasuke.

That was why for now, Namikaze families wished to end the war quickly so that they could focus on searching for their msiing member. Little did they know that fate have prepared a bitter path in front of them.

Inside the dark cave, there was a figure sat among the rock. In front of him, there was a peddle and grids with several pieces lay before him. This man wore a brown hood which covered his pale scale-like body, he also had a white snake appeared behind his back from his cloak. This man was Kabuto Yakushi, one of the most wanted Missing-nin from Konohagakure.

"That is quite a show. To think that they are able to defeat the previous Kages like that" said Kabuto in excitement. He looked at the distance in the dark cave before sign heavily.

"Indeed, Muu's technique is not cloning, but splitting... The main body simply splits into two parts, which means you don't need hand seals so it's faster, but the parts only have half the power"

He looked at two pieces in his now opened hand. If you can notice, they seemed to be slightly larger than the others that lay down in the grids before him. He smiled evilly and thought "It will take some time to summon "Them", since he's weakened now…It will be fun for sure. I wonder what 'they' will think if I sent 'him' into the battle". He closed his palm and waited for the right time.

Back to the battlefield, the time passed for some time, Natsumi and Satoshi got enough rest and utilized Nine-tail Chakra mode. They split up and with the help of Kage Bushin no Jutsu started to swiped through the army of Reanimation troops and White Zetsu's army including reanimated Itachi and some Akatsuki members (Nagato and Konan still alive but Tobi able to successfully acquired Nagato's left Rinnegan eye before fleeing). The Shinobi Alliance started to think that the victory came near as to them the only threat was the mask-man they called Madara along with some reanimated Jinchurikis. Kushina and Minato along with the other commanding offices rejoiced but suddenly they felt a quick bang in their cheek but dismissed it as they thought it was just from stress (Namikaze's family,Naruto's friends, Kurotsuchi and Yugito- Yeah Yugito was still alive). Little did they know that they are going to face a new threat, the past that they wished to change but never be able to.

Time skip 3 hours

Muu within the control of Edo tensei laid his right palm on the ground in the middle of nowhere surrounding by rocky area in the desert and shouted.

"Kuchiyose no jutsu"

At the end of his words, two identical coffins shot out from the ground in front of Muu, both coffin stood beside each other. Both of them stopped for some time before the one in front of Muu burst out which send Muu flying away at some distance due to considerable force.

The smoke clear out, revealing the figure with black hair, he wore a black body suit, red armor which covered his body. He commented "So it finally happen, it would happened after that brat Nagato managed to grow"

Muu was shocked at the sight of the figure before him, he composed himself before finally said "It can't be… you are…"

The still unknown figures looked at him and address him "So, you are…"

Muu finally able to calm himself though barely "Whoever's behind these impure world resurrection Jutsu has a strong understanding of this war…That they would use even you.."

The figure confused slightly before he looked at his palm which currently wore a black gloves "Did you say impure world resurrection…?! Isn't that the technique known as a complete atrocity against the entire flow of life and death in the universe..?!"

He laid his hand down and turned to look at the coffin beside him before asked Muu a question

"Do you have any idea who is in the coffin? I can feel a powerful Chakra radiating from it" asked/demanded the figures.

Muu only shrugged and replied calmly "I have no idea either. Whoever this is must be very powerful, the chakra level is equal to or even greater than you. But it wasn't Shodaime Hokage"

"Not Hashirama I see," he turned to look at the distance "whoever this is, this will surely bring me some entertainment. It was quite a while that I had been in the battle..."

Suddenly the coffin burst out, blowing a piece of wood away from the explosion. It wasn't from explosive objects; rather, it was pure power. The figure stood in the mist, only revealed as the shadow to the two figures. The said figure generated intimidating aura which could be sense by the two figures before it.

The figure beside Muu couldn't helped but spotted a smile "This will be very interesting"

In the Allied Shinobi HQ in the land of lightning

The Kages were seated at the front of the room at a table filled with the intel that they have garnered from reports as well as intelligence that was previously gathered. The heads of the Intelligence and Sensor Division: Inoichi and Ao respectively, are also stationed at the headquarters along with other members of their division. Inoichi along with two other shinobi from his division are hooked up to a large-scale version of the Chakra Transmission Communication Device that is on the direct opposite side of the room which allows them to receive and transmit intelligence to relevant parties. He also uses the machine in conjunction with his own telepathic abilities to allow others to communicate with shinobi on the front lines or anywhere on the battlefield. Ao, along with four other sensors maintain the sensory barrier located in the Centre of the room. The barrier covers the entire battlefield and works closely with the Intelligence division as they are able to detect the size of the opposing side's chakra as well as tell sheer number of persons in any given area.

There were several reports of their victory over Akatsuki's force They were about to celebrated but suddenly the sensor unit of the HQ received a signal, a sign of extremely powerful Chakra sources, not just one but two.

Ao was shocked along with the sensory units and shouted aloud "W…Wait just a second! I sense two enemies presence in Gaara's Unit 4…But what is this Chakra…?!" he was deep in thought "one of them is so familiar to me…wait a minute I think I have meet the person with this chakra signature before…" his eyes widen in realization and thought out aloud "It can't be. It is 'him' "

Southern desert in the Land of Lightning

The members of 4th division of Allied Shinobi including Onoki, Gaara and Satoshi felt some powerful Chakra signature approaching them. They looked for the source, one of the division member which was from Konoha saw something and point at the direction "WH…What's that… O…Over there…!"

Everyone attention shifted to the bandaged figure approaching them from that direction. It was Muu the second Tsuchikage, everyone were confused as they thought they already sealed him away.

"He managed to split off a double of himself in that condition" answered Onoki to everyone's doubt. No one answered it because that was the only logical explaination they had so far. But it wasn't the man that they feared as this man wasn't emitting such powerful signature which means that there was someone else.

Suddenly there were two figures made their way up to the upper rock cliff and stopped in the lining manner, facing them (You are now familiar with the scene are you?)

The 3 figures stood beside one another, Muu at the left, the black haired man on the middle and the red haired teenage man was on the right. They looked over the numerous numbers of Shinobi in front of them. The Red haired teenage boy looked into the crowds, when he spotted Onoki and Temari as well as Gaara, he gave out a small smile but later shifted back into expression less.

Onoki was shocked at the sight "TH…They're…", he never thought that he would saw them again in his life time, and here of all places that they need to appeared when they were at War. The rest of the Allied Shinobi forces were confused of what was going one and look at the 3 figures before them. Muu was the same bandaged man as they knew but it wasn't Muu that intimidating them, it was the two figures that stood side by side one another.

The black haired figure was a fair-skinned man with black waist length hair which had a blue tint to it with two shoulder length bangs framing his face. He had an oval shaped head a black eyes, He wore a one piece black body suit and had Armour which was constructed of numerous metal plates. This clothing under the armour was an indigo long-sleeved shirt with a knee-length mantle, pants, open-toed boots, and gloves. He also wore Black shinobi sandals.His eyes pupils have grey sclerae and there were numerous minor cracks about his being.

The teenage boy on the right side had blood red hair and spiky long hair (Minato's hair style) and fairy-skin body. Physically, he looked 17 years old. He had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. His eye was cerulean blue which indicated power and calmness. His eyes pupils have grey sclerae and there were numerous minor cracks about his being. He wore a traditional light blue umanori hakama adorned with a small emblem of three bubbles on the back with orange sash (Utakata's Kimono), light blue tabi and blue sandals, and tekkou with summoning seals (Imagine Naruto with combination of Assassin fate stay night uniform and Utakata's Kimono color scheme)

. In addition, he wore a short-sleeved long light-blue haori over his normal attire, decorated by ark blue blue waves-like motifs on the edges, the Uzu-like swirl symbol were located at the central back with 6 jade-green pointy-curved magatama surrounding it, in addition there was a numerous figure of white cloud spreading all over haori (in the similar manner as Akatsuki's uniform. His Kirigakure forehead protector with bright blue bandana was placed securely on his forehead. He also had 4 identical Katana strapped on his sash located on left and right wrist, two per each side.

The katana themselves were a work of art, the blade were 24 inches long, the handle were wrapped in pure white cloth. The hand guards shaped were similar to the sakura's flowers (also pure white in colors which give rise to the white dragon head with opened mouth in the middle where the blade was coming from. Not only that the sheath was glowing ocean blue in color which if watched at the distance, the color was identical to the ocean's color itself. There was also the figure of pure white japanese dragon dancing in stormy sea among the raging white wave (look at my profile from the image which inspire the picture). Overall, it was a beautiful katana, if one would look closely there was a white-text 'Sea dragon' written in Kanji engraved on the sheath of Katana near the handle just below the dragon head and above the dancing dragon image. There was also a golden tassel with a twin fish-like pendant made of jade attached on the end of the handle of every katana.

Onoki whispered aloud with slightly frightened tone " Madara…Uchiha and Naruto …Uzumaki"

"!" were the collective thought of pretty much everyone in the area including Gaara and Satoshi. The shinobi from Kirigakure in the division were shocked even more.

"I…It can't be…Naruto…Sama"

"M…Mizukage…Sama…how is that possible"

"If that is really Mizukage-sama then we are finished" stuttered the Kiri shinobi as he dropped his knee into the ground, lost in despair.

The shinobi from other villages were of course confused by one of the Kiri shinobi's statement, especiallay Satoshi since he heard that the man mentioned the word Mizukage when he looked at Naruto. Curious and confuse, he turned his face toward the nearest Kiri shinobi "What do you mean Mizukage? How the hell Nii-san has a Kiri headband? How did he die? Why we never informed about this" shouted Satoshi in fury. He was angry, sad and happy at the same time. He never thought that he would meet Naruto again, in the Edo tensei corps no less. But that wasn't the only matter, no body informed Konoha that Naruto was in Kiri all along, and worse he never knew that when and how he died. He wanted to bring him back to their family, to Konoha so that their family would be happy but the ideal dream completely shattered when he saw his brother stood in front of him, as the enemy. He glance at his brother, he looked so powerful, no, not jut powerful, he could felt the pressure as if he was in the presence of the being even more powerful than Kurama. It made him feels like a mouse in the sight of the powerful Lion.

The said Kiri shinobi was too caught up in thought to respond. The tension started to rise among the division as they never knew that Naruto had a connection with the Mizukage, or was he? To ease the tension, a black haired Kiri shinobi of age around 20 years old began to spoke up.

"Calm down everyone, I will explain everything"

Eased down a bit, everyone from villages other than Kirigakure waited in anticipation especially Satoshi. He finally signed and said "Then…talk"

"Well…it is started"

Meanwhile at Allied Shinobi HQ in the Land of lightning

Minato slammed his first into the desks in disbelieved at the current situation with Kushina by his side, tried to calm him down. He turned to Inoichi whom currently connected to communication unit and asked sharply.

"Is it right? That my eldest son appeared on the battlefield!"

"It is confirmed Hokage-sama, the Chakra signature combined with visuals representation. The young man that appeared in the same battle front with the real Madara Uchiha is indeed your son 'Naruto'" replied Inoichi in urgent tone.

"How is he? Is he alright" asked Kushina in worried and unhidden extreme happiness. She tried to find her baby boy for all these years but never found him, only Natsumi seemed to know where he was. This was her chance to meet him again.

"Then get him out of there. Send someone to retrieve him. Tell Satoshi to prepare to take him back. It is not safe" commanded Minato. He really wanted to meet his eldest again and atone for his sin. His hope crushed when Inoichi shook his head in negative and said "I'm afraid I can't do that sir."

Minato's face barely restrained his anger. How dare he? He should have known how much he wanted to see his son "Why not?" said Minato in barely restrained tone.

Inoichi recognized this tone and suddenly replied "S…Sir…I don't mean what I said…It is just"

"Just what! My son is out there, facing danger in the war and you told me to let him died. I will never fail my son again" exclaimed Minato

"I didn't say that"

"Then what?" said Minato in hushed tone

"What he means is it is impossible for us to get him out of the battlefield. Not in this situation and what I learned from the report from the battlefield" said Shikaku, timely safe his friend from Minato's wrath.

"What do you mean Shikaku? Are you telling me that I shouldn't save my son and let him died?" asked Minato in confusion and slight anger.

"Well, it is not like that. Calm down Minato, let me explain."

He calmed down and Kushina nodded, anxious for explanation.

"It is impossible to get him back because of his condition. What I mean is...i'm afraid your reunion will cut short and turned into a bloodbath."

Minato gained a confused expression "What do you mean by that?"

Shikaku shook his head "He isn't on our side, not anymore"

"What? Do you mean that my son allied himself with Akatsuki? I refuse to believe you!" shouted Minato in great fury. He refused to believed Shikaku; it was just unbelievable for him.

Shikaku defended himself and replied urgently "No he is not. Minato…Kushina, I know this will cause you pain but what I'm about to speak is the truth. Listen carefully to what I say"

"…"

Shikaku closed his eye before said somberly "Your son isn't among the living anymore"

"WHAT?" Kushina broke down crying.

Minato tried desperately to calm Kushina down and lokked at Shikaku sternly "Then how would that explain his chakra signature. The sensor unit senses his chakra in the battlefield. Then he..." his eye widen in realization and started to tear up "oh God…sob tell me this is not true"

Shikaku put his head down "I'm sorry Minato, Your son is there because he is revived…through Edo tensei"

Minato was lost in thought, how could all this happen. It was his entire fault, if he didn't do what he did that night or put Naruto into that position his whole life since he was borned then all this would never happen. Now, he faced the consequences and it was very painful, he had to faced his son, a situation that he never wished he would have to. He moved away from Kushina and attempted to compose himself but fail as the river of tear rapidly fell down from his eyes. The Kuroi senko was crying from extreme guilt.

Kushina basically broke down after she heard about her son, the one she wronged so much, he was supposed to come back to them and complete their family. She was in pain, her son became someone's puppet and fought against them, they never wished to fought him, it brought her so much pain when all memory assault her about how much she wrong him. She really wanted to meet him again, made up to him and formed a complete family but it never happened and now her baby was used to fight against them. She just couldn't take it anymore, she totally failed as a mother and now she had to fight him and possibly killed him. If she didn't kill him then her baby will fought one another and worse both of them died, she lose her baby once, her heart would broke if she lose both. Her heart almost shattered in to pieces like a glass, she could barely hold herself together right now. Even if she managed to 'kill' Naruto, she couldn't handle the guilt of killing 'her' own son, especially the one that she wronged and wished forgiveness from, it was just too much.

Tsunade looked at Kushina in sorrowful expression before lower her hand and rubbing Kushina's back in consoling manner, she viewed her as her own daughter. She, however couldn't helped but felt extremely upset at the situation, her godson 'Naruto', the one who greatly cared for already died without finding happiness in his life and now he was used to fought against his will in the war. It was their faults, herself included, if she was there for him then he wouldn't have left Konoha and died like that. She was upset when her teammates and close friend Jiraiya died at the hand of pain but that feeling was incomparable to the pain of losing Naruto forever.

Raikage A couldn't help but felt very sorry for Namikaze family. He might never knew the feeling of losing a son before since he never had any but he thought that it should be very painful just like how he felt when his father, Sandaime Raikage died in the Third great war. His feeling changed into extreme fury, how that insolent Akatsuki dare mock them by keep sending their former allies against them. He swore he would destroy them. Not only they threatened his brother and brethren but also the world. Also they even revived Naruto to fight against them. He liked the boy, he was a very good friend and valuable allies, and he owed him very much for all him he did for his village but that Damn Akatsuki had the nerve to use him! Unacceptable, he would make sure they were destroyed to the point that nothing of them left in the world. Practically everyone was crying in this room.

Inoichi was sorry for his friend/leader but he composed himself before relay their new information to their leader. He was in thought slightly before shocked in realization and spoke out aloud "Mizakage-sama! Could you please explain this development?"

Ao was suspicious and asked "What is it?"

Mei spoke out for the first time "let him speak"

Inoichi replied in calm yet hidden slight cold tone toward the female Mizukage "Could you explain how Naruto wore a Kiri headband? From what I can remember, I never know that Naruto have anything to do with Kirigakure other than being her hero. Please clarify Mizukage-sama" said Inoichi sarcastically at the end.

Minato, Kushina, Shikaku and Tsunade stopped their emotional release for a brief moment and looked at the mentioned auburn hair women.

Inoichi decided to reveal some new information again "Could you explain this Mizukage sama? I heard from the battlefield that some of your Shinobi call him 'Mizukage sama'. What is this supposed to mean?! Please explain" he shouted at the end.

Like pouring oil into the fire, the huge killing intent started to assembled in the room. The source was from the distraught Kushina, she gradually put her head up to face Mei, her face shown the combination of fury and sadness. The tear continued to pour down from her eye to her cheek as she restrained her hiccup and shakily asked/ demanded Mei to answer "W…Why…WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! WHY DID YOU KEEP SOCHI-KUN AWAY FROM ME!" faster than lightning, she grabbed Mei's dress and brought her near her face to get her answer, her tear still dropping. The latter looked away from her, Kushina about to tightened her hold on her neck but eased her hold as she noticed a series of tear in Mei's eye. Kushina released her and continue "Why!"

"Why?" asked Mei softly "Because he asked me to"

Minato's eye widen in disbelief, before he could said anything A decided to intervene "I know about that. Onoki probably know to. You can't blame her Kushina, Minato, she just follow his request"

"Why he didn't want us to know?" sobs "We missed him so much" sobs "He should know this but why" sobbed Kushina and slightly calmed down as Minato and Tsunade laid their hand on both of her shoulder to console her.

"Because he wished to stay away from you" said Ao somberly. He looked down "he was in pain when I met him and asked about his family after he saved us by ending the dreadful war. He even said that he wanted to die before he met us and never wants to see or heard of your family or village again. I can't blame him though considered of what your family and village did to him" he paused as he gritted his teeth but eases up and continued "that is why he stayed in our village but requested us to keep his location a secret. We did so to repay for everything he did for our country and her people. That is the lease we could do to wash away his pain"

Kushina looked at Mei and Tsunade, hoping that his statement was wrong. Her hoped however shattered when Tsunade and Mei slightly nodded in agreement to Ao's word. Kushina couldn't take it anymore and cried. Shikaku decided to asked Ao some doubts in place of Hokage's family since they seemed to be too emotional to do so, hell they could barely hold themselves together or think rationally " But Mizukage sama, Ao-san, This still isn't explain why he wore your village's forehead protector and being refer to as Mizukage-sama by your Shinobis. Could you explain to us why?"

Mei wiped her tear out of her eyes; she composed herself before signed heavily "Alright… I will tell you everything"

Ao saw this and decided to stop her "Mizukage-sama, you couldn't possible…"

Mei glanced at him with narrowed eye, shutting him up "Enough Ao, I know that. They are his family…even only by blood but they deserve to know"

"Hai" Ao put his head down and silence.

"Ok let hear from you. I knew only to the part that he stay and join Kiri's force but I'm in the dark about this 'Mizukage' thing" said A as he sat down in the chair along with the rest of attendances in the room excluding those who were already sat down and Shikaku who still stood up. All of their attentions were directed at Mei who started her tales.

"That started 14 years ago; our country was in civil war between the bloodline users like me and non-bloodline user led by Yagura. As you all know, Yagura my predecessor resents bloodlines and by extension their users so, he accused them of being the cause of War. So, the purges began. The rebellion was formed not long after thus the all-out war officially started"

"We know about that already, please continue" said A.

"Anyway, we are on the losing side of the war because as strong as we are, they outnumbered us 10:1, not to mention that they had Mizu daimyo's supports in terms of weaponry, food, water and funds. The Rebellion leaders' were down to only me and few Clan leaders. One day 8 years ago, my squads along with myself got ambushed by several Hunter-Nins, they attacked the children we rescued and I was almost died that day…" she paused as she remembered the memory of the fateful day. The day that the savior of Mizu no Kuni descended before them.
