A/N: Sorry for the late update, but my school had midterms and I had stress sickness from overstudying D

Chapter 2: Shock of the Leaf (and Grass and Mist)

The Hokage walked up to the front gates, flanked by some of the most prestigious jonin of the Leaf Village. She couldn't believe what she had read. But sure enough, Itachi was at the gates. But he wasn't flying a white flag. He wore the normal Akatuski cloak. Plain fabric embroidered with clouds. But his cloak was sparkling white.

At the Grass Village, the head ninja received a similar shock. An S-Ranked criminal prodigy was at their gates, dressed in white and claiming surrender. The Mist Village as well was surprised, as Kisame Hoshigaki, nicknamed the Demon Shark, was back, and in white.

"Explain your fucking self!" yelled Tsunade after Itachi had been frisked and escorted to her by Teams Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai and Guy. "You commit parricide as well as mass homicide and then turn up at our fucking gates asking for peace? I don't think so!"

"Itachi spoke quietly, and with a respectful tone. "Lady Hokage, I implore that you understand my situation. The Akatsuki are in grave danger. We split, seeking shelter in our villages. We all knew the day that we would face an adversary we could not beat would come. It came last night."

Itachi accounted the events of last night. As he described Kami's copying of his own Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan, Shikamaru interrupted.

"He copied your Jutsu by drinking your blood? Did he talk about pain or suffering or something called the faith of Jashin?"

"No," Itachi replied. "This was nothing like Hidan. This man copied my Justu by ingesting my blood, unlike Hidan, who initiated his own Jutsu. I fear this man may pose a great thr-"

He was cut off as a bird flew in through the window. A scroll was tied to its leg. Tsuande opened and read it.

"Why the hell are all the S-Rank criminals here today?!" she yelled. "Goddamn Orochimaru is at our gates. He wants to see me. Naruto! Sakura! Kakashi! Shikamaru! Guy! Lee! Neji! Shino! Follow me!"

A few short minutes later, Tsuande stood at the gates, flanked by her bodyguards. Sure enough, at the gates was none other than the white-skinned snake lover. He cackled upon seeing Tsuande and her elite shinobi.

"Jiraiya is dead!" he yelled gleefully.

"What?" Tsunade asked. A ripple of fear went through her. She stoned herself in the next instant.

"You sent him to kill Pein. Pein won. Jiraiya is dead."

"NOOOOO!!" screamed Tsunade.

"Now, since you are the only shinobi who has a chance of defeating me, I have come here to kill you, and then I can finally claim my place as the strongest being alive!"

"Screw you," Tsuande said. She launched herself into the air. Her right leg flew, and she brought it crashing down on Orochimaru's spine. "Now, Shikamaru!" she yelled.

"Kage Ochiru no Jutsu!" Shikamaru chanted. His shadow grew thin and extended. Orochimaru fell headfirst onto it, then through it. He vanished then reappeared above the ground a second later. He fell stomach first about a meter.

Orochimaru stood up, cackling like a witch. His mouth opened, and a second Orochimaru appeared. The first disintegrated.

Kakashi activated his Sharingan eye. "Raikiri Utsu no Jutsu!" he yelled. "I won't go easy!" He elbowed Orochimaru in the chest then punched him in the face. The next instant he vanished. His leg swept Orochimaru's feet out from under him. Kakashi then spun and kicked Orochimaru up, following it with punch that made him fly even higher. "This will finish you!" he yelled. His hand crackled with blue lightning. It made a sound resembling a thousand birds. As Orochimaru fell, the hand impaled his heart. A beam of pure energy sliced Orochimaru apart at the waist. Orochimaru fell apart, only to be rejoined by snake appendages crawling out of his body.

"Shit," Tsunade muttered.

Orochimaru cackled. "Now I will do something kind for the Leaf Village. I'll bring back some friends!" He made the signs. He slammed the ground. And though nobody had actually seen the technique used before, they knew what was about to happen.

"Edo Tensei!" cried Orochimaru. Five coffins rose. Five lids fell. Five decaying bodies walked out in a zombie-like manner. Everybody save for Orochimaru and the five zombies gasped. Naruto began to quiver with rage. The five bodies belonged to the First Hokage, Second Hokage, Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage (Naruto's father) and Kushina Uzumaki (Naruto's mother).

"Son," whispered Minato. He had Naruto's same spiky-blond hair. "I am so proud of you. You mastered my Jutsu when even I couldn't."

"Naruto, dear," signed Kushina. She was beautiful, even in this corpse like manner. "You are so handsome."

"Mom. Dad," Naruto sobbed. "Orochimaru, I am going to fucking kill you."

Everybody was too busy to notice the sixth and final coffin. A white-haired man stepped out. He was big, with broad shoulders and a muscular chest. Even in death, his famous perverted grin remained.

"Jiraiya." Now it was Tsunade's turn to sob.

Orochimaru laughed then stabbed all six corpses with tags. The tags were attached to kunai knives. The six corpses stiffened. Their pupils whitened. Their irises turned black. Then they attacked.

Naruto saw Kakashi tackling the First Hokage. The Second Hokage had located Neji and Lee and was bombarding them with attacks. The Third Hokage started to attack Guy. Jiraiya was battling Shikamaru and Shino. Orochimaru hurled himself at Tsuande. Kushina leapt in front of Sakura. As Naruto ran to help her, Minato Namikaze blocked his path.

Kakashi battled the First with everything he had. He saw through all of the physical moves with his Sharingan eye, but the First had an ace-in-the-hole.

"Mokuton: Moku Rendan no Jutsu!" Wood appeared out of nowhere and stabbed at Kakashi from all sides. He dodged the wood expertly.

"Crap," he thought. This was incredibly difficult, even for Kakashi. He leapt and twisted so he landed behind the First Hokage. He activated the Chidroi and stabbed the First through the back. Kakashi breathed a quick sigh of relief.

The Second Hokage flew at Rock Lee. Lee twisted around into his famous Konoha Senpu. The Second Hokage flew back. Neji was waiting. Neji's hands moved like birds.

"Yatsu Sankaku: Jun Chakra Kaze Te!" He yelled. His hands glowed white. "Haijime Yado!" His left palm smacked into the back of the Second Hokage. "Byo Yado!" His right hand smacked into the back of Second. "Dai Yado!" Both palms shot a white chakra at the Second. "Sue Yado!" Neji crossed his arms at the wrists. His body glowed white and he shot a huge beam of blinding white chakra at the Second Hokage.

Rock Lee had been standing by, waiting. Now that Neji set up for my attack, I'm going to everything I've got into this! When the Second came speeding through the air and Lee could see the black irises, he opened the first three inner gates. "Ura Renge!" Lee was a barrage of fists and feet. By the time he was finished, the Second's body lay bruised and beaten on Konoha's soil.

Guy fought valiantly with the Third Hokage. He attacked and dodged and everything but to no avail.

"Doton: Doryudon no Jutsu!" yelled the Third. "Katon: Karyudon no Jutsu!" A dragon of earth shot out of the Third's mouth. It was then ignited by a dragon of fire. Similar occurrences were taking place in other battles. The First and Second Hokages had arisen and captured those who they had fought. Jiraiya overpowered Shino and Shikamaru. And Orochimaru had beaten Tsnade. Naruto looked around desperately for Sakura, and found that she had been taken captive by Kushina. Naruto turned and faced the man who brought him into the world.

"Dad." He said, "I'm going to win today!" His chakra flared red.
