Chapter 3: it begins

"are you in position?"

"hai"

"alright, move in"

"wait!, there's something coming…. No someone….blonde hair… sharingan…. It's namik-!"

"saisho,saisho,saisho, are you there?, saisho!"

"saisho isn't coming…., he's dead…." An emotionless voice said "and am coming for you…. All of you…."

The night was filled with bloody deafening screams

Ever since naruto agreed to help konoha, the tables has turned in favour of konoha, the sound and rock's troops have been slowly pushed back, naruto and his team were mainly used for heavy assault seeing they had more man power.

Ever since ohnoki heard the yondaime's kid has joined konoha, he began having second thoughts about the war, but orochimaru encouraged him that he's developing a new plan which will cripple the yondaime's legacy, so they set the plan in motion.

Konoha

Sasuke breathed heavily gripping his hands as sweat slid down his side, inhaling sharply he flashed through hands signs then his cheeks puffed out,

"katon: goryuka no justu".

He thought as he released a massive fire attack, the shape of a dragon.

The technique flew straight to the sky making it darken for the umpteenth time that day, the previously launched fire attack started creating powerful raising air current that started generating thunderclouds,

Sasuke activated his sharingan, and the sound of a thousand birds chirping was heard,

"Childori" he thought, raising his arm to the heavens he summoned the familiar technique he memorized from Naruto.

"Ration: kirin!" he said, as the powerful technique appeared, he brought down his arm as the technique roared in response, clashing against the earth as dust and debris filled the whole training ground.

Coughing dryly the Uchiha stood up and observed his handiwork, "still not powerful enough," he thought wiping a bead of sweat from his brows.

"hmm, so the Uchiha is trying to imitate Naruto-sama, he better hear of this" a plant like creature said as he sinked to the earth and disappeared without a trace.

Namikaze estate

Inhaling slightly, Naruto eyes snapped open showing his fully developed sharingan, chakra burst from within him creating a little dent on the floor.

Then yellow lightning coated his body in form of armor as his hair flapped according to his chakra, he disappeared and all was silent for a few seconds before he appeared again as the armor faded.

"This better be something good…." He said suddenly as he turned "Zetsu…."

Zetsu nodded "sasuke is trying to copy your justu" he said as naruto turned giving him full attention "the kirin" naruto just scoffed "and Pein has ordered Deidara and Sasori to capture the Kazekage…." He finished then he jumped out of his skin as Naruto yelled "what!?" appearing in a blink Naruto grabbed him "what did you say?"

"T-they are not there y-yet" he choked out.

Naruto dropped him as he walked off "keep me posted" he said making zetsu swallow a dry throat at the coldness of his voice.

Hinata hasn't been in a good mood this particular morning, first she woke up and received a long boring lecture concerning the success of the clan, then Kiba decided to appear pestering her on a date, that wasn't enough, her normal bakery where she purchased cinnamon rolls was locked for reasons unknown to her.

She walked aimlessly trying to clear her mind when she found herself the training grounds, looking around she observed that someone decided to get up early and scarred the training grounds, without handseals she activated her byakugan before sighing, walking up to the unconscious figure she shook her head and said,

"You will never stop Sasuke-kun…."

She observed that he passed out from chakra overuse.

After healing him and forcing a soldier pill down his throat, Sasuke joined the conscious world.

Blinking, Sasuke groaned as he blinked again seeing Hinata beside him, "what happened…."

"I thought I told you to stop over training ne? Sasuke-kun"

"Hinata…."

*sighs* "you are a hard nut to crack you know?"

Sasuke tried sitting and winced, "calm down"

Sasuke sighed "I still have a long way to go…."

Hinata downcast just smiled painfully and said "I know how you feel Sasuke…." Then she looked at him.

"But on the bright side…. he's with us now" she continued, "so let's look at it from another angle"

Sasuke just looked on as a single tear just dropped from his eye then he smiled "another angle huh?..."

Hinata nodded, then Sasuke grinned "hn"

Then Hinata head snapped upwards as she said "you can come out now"

"ohh….so there's more to you than meet the eyes eh?...Hinata-chan…."

Landing with ease, Hinata's eyes widened as she shuttered out "K-karin?" Sasuke just looked on in confusion before he flashed back to his brief battle with naruto, a redhead stopping him from delivering the final blow, "so she's Naruto's sister…"

"Hello Hinata" Suigetsu said making his presence known showing him eating what Hinata recognized as sushi.

"H-hi, what are you doing here?"

"ohh Karin just wanted to see-!"

Sasuke's eyes widened as golden chain appeared from the tree's branch close to Suigetsu and whipped him, making him yell comically as he fell down.

"don't mind him Hinata" Karin said with a small smile "we were just passing by when we saw you guys and decided to stop"

Hinata just nodded still surprised she was talking to Naruto's sister.

"Oh Sasuke, this is Karin, naruto's sister, we kinda meet during our last mission, Karin sasuke" hinata said introducing both of them.

Karin just looked at the uchiha with an unreadable expression, while Sasuke was observing her with the same facade, "so this is the famed last uchiha, hmp am not impressed"

"so this is Naruto's sister, hmp am not impressed"

Suigetsu got up and said "oi Karin what was that for?" he said rubbing his forehead, which was the first part of his body to touch the ground.

"S-so what…. I mean…." Hinata sighed inwardly beating herself for not even bringing an ounce of conversation only increasing the tension.

Having stared at the Uchiha long enough she was brought out of her stupor when Sasuke smirked, Karin raised an eyebrow "what the hell?"

"Namikaze Uzumaki Karin…." Sasuke said smirking, Karin just raised an eyebrow, then Sasuke continued,

"See something you like?"

Hinata's eyes widened in horror while Suigetsu burst out laughing loudly, Sasuke carried a smug look on his face.

Karin just frowned slightly then she smirked "actually there's nothing I see, since you Uchiha's are rumored to be small in that area"

Suigetsu doubled in his laughter holding his stomach while rolling on the floor, Hinata had to stifle a giggle seeing the weird look on Sasuke's face.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes having stood upstraight, he gripped his sword and made to attack, but all off a sudden the laughing Suigestu was at his side with kurikiriboucho drawn "you better not try anything your power can't withstand when the consequences comes back to face you…Uchiha"

A bead of sweat rolled down Sasuke's sides fearing for his life, as Suigestu in a nanosecond has appeared behind him.

"Suigetsu stand down…." Karin said

Suigetsu just sighed as his demeanor instantly changed to his normal carefree one, then he grinned showing his shark like teeth, "and not a word of this to Aniki…." Karin said before she looked at Hinata who has been quiet all through.

"come with me Hinata"

Hinata gasped in shock "m-me?"

Karin smiled "don't worry, I don't bite"

Hinata hesitantly followed Karin, who turned back and said to Suigetsu "behave"

Suigetsu just grinned "is not like I can beat him" he said motioning to Sasuke "even if he's weak he can still use me as a training dummy"

Karin said nothing but continued walking as Hinata jogged to meet up with her.

As they left, Suigetsu turned to sasuke and remembered what Karin said, he immediately burst out laughing, while Sasuke just glared at him.

"So what do you want to talk about Karin-chan"

Hinata asked after a few minutes of walking with Karin, who was rather quiet since they started walking.

Karin stopped earning a look from hinata, then she sighed and turned to her.

"I need to be completely honest with me Hinata…" Hinata just stared in confusion before she nodded.

"Do you still love my brother?"

Hinata without blinking answered "hai, with all my heart"

Karin nodded and smiled "then I need something…." Hinata motioned for her to continue "I want you to tell me what happened between you two"

Hinata just blinked in confusion "i-I don't really know….he came back from Sasuke's retrieval mission, then I overheard my father talking with the elders about his banishment, I ran and informed him, but he seemed confident on Tsunade-sama's administration, but that didn't fend well with him, and he was banished….he didn't even come to say goodbye…" that did it as Hinata instantly broke down, Karin just walked forward and warped her arms around her, consoling the Hyuga heiress, who released the built up feelings on Naruto's sister.

"shh… it's okay"

"then a few weeks ago we meet after many years, instead of a warm embrace, he responded with a cold shoulder, threatened to kill me, and even went for it."

Hinata sniffled, "am sorry…" she said with teary eyes, "it's okay"

"I don't know what I did wrong….honestly…."

Karin just sighed, "Naruto can be emotionless at times, but he's still the caring boy you feel in love with, it's just that he doesn't show it out…and I thought you were the one at fault….please forgive me Hinata…"

"It's alright, it's not your fault"

"when I meet him I will knock him into next week"

"no…." Hinata countered "I will be the one to face him, I need his full explanation on why he acted that way"

Karin nodded fully understanding Hinata.

"I think you and I are going to get along just fine Hinata…"

Suigetsu sighed again feeling the full force of boringness attacking him, he wanted to scream in frustration until he sighted Hinata and Karin coming.

"Took you long enough"

"Where'Sasuke?" Hinata asked

"Left, stating he need to do something, are we leaving now?"

"Hai"

Walking through the halls of the corridor granted light by the dim candles a silver haired nin stopped in front of the last door in the hall before opening it.

"Orochimaru-sama" Kabuto said as he stepped in the sannin's chambers.

The snake sannin looked up from the book he was fixated on,

"the Tsuchikage has been rather uncooperative these few weeks…." He stopped when Orochimaru closed his book, but continued when he was motioned to continue,

"He has stopped sending his troops to aid our forces in taking back the tower near the fire borders, the Uzumaki retook from us"

Orochimaru frowned visibly, "damn that old man" he folded his hands in thought before he looked at Kabuto and said "then we readjust our timetable"

Kabuto nodded "so… should I arrange it now?" in which Orochimaru nodded,

Stepping in vast room lit with candles to brighten the place, Kabuto stood up from his kneeling position as Orochimaru entered.

"let's begin" he said ignoring the muffled saying of the unknown nin tied to the floor.

Kabuto stepped back and watched as Orochimaru flashed through numerous handseals, for what seemed like an endless minute of watching, Orochimaru stopped as slammed his hands on the floor yelling

"kuchiyose: edo-tensei no justu" (summoning impure world reincarnation)

The mysterious ninja tied to the floor scream in horror as chakra covered his body wrapping him up, and in his place stood a familiar figure,

"kukuku, welcome back to the land of the living…."

The figure opened his eyes showing light green coloured eyes, he had a pale skin with shoulder-length white hair, he had two red dots on his forehead, his attire consisted of a light lavender, loose-fitting, long-sleeved, zip-up shirt, black pants cut off around mid-calf, traditional shinobi sandals, and a purple, rope like belt tied in an inverted bow around his waist, a familiar mark appeared on his through before it glowed showing it was the cursed seal.

"….Kimimaru-kun…" Orochimaru finished chuckling evilly, before he started coughing which brought him to his knees as the hands he used to cover his mouth was filled with blood.

Kabuto rushed to him "Orochimaru-sama…time for your drug…" Orochimaru nodded weakly before looking up at the reincarnated shinobi, he said "brief him…"

Kabuto nodded "but you need your drug fir-!"

"No!, the mission comes first"

"H-Hai"

Orochimaru shakily stood up by himself and walked away, leaving Kabuto with an unreadable expression before he turned to Kimimaru, who looked up,

"Kabuto-san…." Kabuto just smiled

A purple portal opened as three figure stepped out, two seen visibly and one like a silhouette, "you know your orders, no delay, you know what to do when its captured" the silhouette spoke,

"Hai…leader-sama" Sasori said, making the now identified leader whose eyes glowed a terrifying purple nod before his eyes pulsed as another portal opened before he stepped inside vanishing with the portal.

"Whew….leader-sama sure is scary when he wants to be, hm"

Sasori didn't respond just continued walking "wait up Sasori-dana" he yelled as he jogged to meet up with him.

After several minutes they came across the walls of Suna, "leave it to leader-sama, cutting four days journey to just thirty minutes, hm"

Then Deidara looked at Sasori, "I think I will go first" Sasori just nodded "you know my rule Deidara, don't k-"

"yea, yea, we all know your rule Sasori-dana, but my art will exceed your expectation this time, hm"

He continued before bringing his palms from his pockets as he rubbed them together, "Because you already know Sasori-dana, hm, my art always exceeded your expectation, hm" separating his palms a small clay bird was shown before he jumped and at the same time threw It up before he landed the small bird with a poof of smoke swept him off his feet having grown bigger.

Gaara looked out the window of the kazekage building, noticing a strange bird circling the village, "hmm….strange".

A knock snapped him from his thoughts, "come in" Baki stepped in and knelt down "Gaara-sama, a message" he said stretching his hands showing a scroll, sand extended from the kazekage gourd and willed the collected scroll to him, "I will take my leave now" Baki said before leaving the kazekage.

Gaara looked at the scroll for a moment already aware of whom it's from before he opened it confirming his suspicions.

Gaara

I just found out that the Akatsuki are moving in on you, I don't know the exact time they will be there but watch your back, and you have my kunai any form of trouble you know what to do, I will be there in a flash to help, and one last thing do not trust any of your shinobi, there are spies everywhere.

From Naruto.

Gaara's looked up to his shelf and walked up to it, opening it, he began searching for something after several minutes he frowned, "I could have sworn I kept the kunai here" sighing he looked out the window again seeing the bird circling the village, "that's not an ordinary bird"

"This kazekage is hard to find, hm" deidara said with frustration having circled the village several times with no sign of him, he wanted to turn backwhen a figure came into his line of sight, concentrating on it he smirked, before directing his creation towards the person.

"You sure are hard to track ehh…Kazekage, hm."

"there are no birds like that in this desert, Akatsuki scum….you are going down"

"ha! Real funny, I will show you my real work of art, hm"

Clapping his palms together deidara separated them, showing tiny spider-like creatures before he hauled them at the young kage.

Gaara with his arms crossed and a bored expression watched with disinterest as the weird creatures came at him, just a few meters away from him sand appeared trapping them, making deidara nod in approval,

"hope you won't bore me in this battle, hm" then he took off to the sky, making gaara's eyes narrow "you won't get away from me!" he said as sand gathered around his feet making him gain height as he followed deidara with a burst of speed.

(same as canon)

Kimimaro jumped from tree to tree a single destination in his mind, konoha, remembering the conversation he had with kabuto concerning the sole purpose of his resurrection,

Flashback

"Kimimaro, as you can see Orochimaru-sama is seriously sick…" kabuto said while walking through the large halls of their hideout, Kimimaro noddeK

"As to why you have been resurrected…" Kabuto turned and looked at him "there's a war going on, between us and konoha, the Yondaime's legacy Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto is aiding them, making the tides change….and not in our favour"

Then Kimimaro asked "yondaime's legacy?"

Kabuto nodded "that blonde Uzumaki kid you fought when you went to retrieve sasuke," Kimimaro's eyes widened slightly "him huh…."

"But during our battle he showed no signs of containing a strong gene, his battle tactics back then were poor….unless during my absence something happened"

Kabuto nodded and went further to explain how Naruto seal was released by Sasuke making him awaken his bloodline, kimimaro nodded.

"But that doesn't answer why am alive again,"

"Naruto is currently in love with a girl, she the head of the hyuga's clan daughter, Hiashi"

Kimimaro nodded now understanding

"You are to sneak into konoha, abduct the girl and bring her here, that alone will bring naruto down to his knees"

Kimimaro nodded

Flashback end

"I better hurry"

Zetsu appeared to where Karin and suigetsu were having a conversation making Karin raise an eyebrow seeing he was nervous,

"zetsu what happened…" Karin asked "w-well…y-you see"

"oh please spit it out already" suigetsu yelled,

"thekazekagehasbeenkidnapped" he blurted out

"what?"

Inhaling slightly, "the kazekage has been kidnapped" Karin and suigetsu gasped "w-what?" "Gaara?"

Running towards the Namikaze estate Karin yelled out to him "is aniki aware?"

Zetsu just swallowed and shook his head negative, Karin gritted her teeth in frustration as she increased her speed,

Naruto calmly meditating opened his eyes when he felt karin's chakra moving towards him, and at an insane pace, "what could be the problem" standing up and stretching himself, Karin burst through the doors, "Aniki Gaara has been kidnapped by the Akatsuki!" she nearly yelled.

Naruto's sharingan pulsed as his chakra flared calmly he called out "zetsu" the creature emerged from the ground shaking visibly, "explain"

"Leader-sama possesses the rinengan, I thought I had observed all the abilities but I never knew he could cross dimension in matter of seconds, Deidara and Sasori hunt for the ichibi could have taken days, but with his visual prowess he reduced it to minutes"

Naruto nodded and looked at Suigetsu and Jugo, the latter who was breathing heavily "get prepared, meet me at the gate in five minutes" he said before he flashed away

Naruto was waiting at the main entrance of konoha when he sensed a presence behind him.

"it seems you are on another unauthorized journey out of the village…Namikaze"

Without turning Naruto answered "I don't think I answer to you…" he said turning to face his speaker "…Danzo"

Naruto head snapped up as he bent down touched the ground and in a flash of yellow he's other teammates where there, ignoring danzo he said "let's go" with an impressive amount of speed they set out of the village, making danzo frown in disapproval

Akatsuki hideout

Pein with his eyes closed concentrated reaching out to the duo he just sent out, then their silhouette appeared.

"report" Leader ordered, Deidara with a noticeable single arm yelled "the fucking kazekage ripped my arm off!"

"I think they already noticed it Deidara…" Sasori said before he turned to Pein "the Kazekage has been captured, we are on our way now"

Pein nodded pleased with the news, "Hidan, Kakuzu, you are to capture the nanabi next" making the latter of the zombie duo smirk, while the other nodded, "I have pressing matters at hand, once you get here you know what to do….meeting adjourn"

Jumping swiftly from tree to tree Naruto just gritted his teeth, "Gaara hang in there….am coming for you"

Sensing a presence ahead, he motioned for his team to stop, black zetsu waited calmly for the namikaze heir standing upright he nodded as naruto and his team stopped.

Naruto eyes narrowed with his sharingan active "as you are the only one to come in person, it means this is a matter of urgency,"

Black zetsu nodded "it seems that Pein visual prowess are growing….and at a fast rate at that," white zetsu added, "the extraction of the ichibi will soon begin"

Naruto nodded and his eyes switched to the mangekyo "tsukuyomi" he thought as he locked eyes with zetsu.

Just a second later zetsu spoke "we are been called now, you better hurry" white zetsu added again making black zetsu sigh before using hiskagero (mayfly) to disappear without a trace of being there.

"let's hurry" Naruto said calmly, his team nodded as they followed him.

Tthen Suigetsu decided to speak "that black guy gives me the creeps" he said as he shuddered visibly, "and it seemed weird that he just came and said a little…." He added.

"You need to get your sensory abilities checked" Jugo spoke ever so calmly, Suigetsu turned to him and sweat dropped, "when Naruto's chakra flared, even if it was a small amount, you didn't notice?" jugo added, making Suigetsu frown, "so whatever that guy and naruto talked about was inside the tsukuyomihmm, got it now" he thought with a big grin, before adding a burst of chakra to his feet as he disappeared catching up to the others.

Naruto came to a stop outside the clearing of the forest, seeing a little lake with a giant boulder in the middle of it.

He jumped and landed expertly without disrupting the stilled water flow, the others landed close and Karin spoke up "it's a five sealed barrier, meaning the-"

"No time for that" naruto interrupted as he turned to look at them his mangekyo active, he extended his arm as chakra was visible in it, Karin grabbed hold of it, then extended her arm to jugo who grabbed and extended to suigetsu, naruto turned, hand in hand the walked forward towards the boulder.

"At the rate pein is going this, before thirty minutes the ichibi will be extracted, hmm…" the strange creature looked at the leader of the akatsuki who's eyes were closed, then he smirked "to easy…" before his head snapped up, so did Pein eyes as they looked at the entrance of the hideout, seeing four individuals phase from the rock into the hideout, making Pein eyes narrow.

By now all the Akatsuki has taken notice of this as Deidara yelled "what the fuck?!"

Pein just narrowed his eyes again, a few minutes from now this bijuu will be extracted, if deidara and sasori cut their connection to hold them off, it will only prolong the time of the extraction,"

Naruto looked up at the floating gaara who's chakra was being absorbed in the strange statue with different silhouette on its fingers, "one….two…seven….ten…" gaara's groan brought naruto out of his thoughts before the gears in his head started turning.

Without thinking about the implication he ran forward, a black katana appeared in a burst of lightning as he grabbed it, before he leaped to the strange mist absorbing gaara's chakra,

"NARUTO STOP THIS MADNESS!" Kurama within Naruto yelled, but was too last as Naruto chakra flared at insane proportions, he grasped the katana as he yelled

"Uzumaki style: Getsuga tensho!"

The result was immediately processed as the strange sword emitted a slash of energy that cut clean through the mist and it continued traveling towards the roof of the hideout before a loud boom, and the hideout was in ruin, in the commotion a loud

"WHAT!"

Was heard as Pein refused to believe what his purple eyes just showed him.

Cliffhanger no justu
