"Shit…shit shit shit shit shit shit…Ok, they got Kakashi. Having him on our side wouldn't be very opposed right about now." Tsunade peeked over the window she was hiding under and saw Kakashi telling the other zombies where to look. Tsunade ducked her head from the window and looked for a possible exit. She saw a door that lead out the back, she walked out slowly, looking for any signs of her pursuers. She turned a corner then quickly jumped back behind the corner, there was a zombie standing watch from a fire escape above her, luckily his back was turned. Tsunade examined him more closely and realized who it was, Might Guy, he had been turned and he was hungry. "Seems Guy won't have to preach about enjoying the time of youth anymore…" Tsunade channeled chakra to her feet and slowly crept up the wall and slowly touched down on the fire escape behind him. He hadn't noticed her and that proved to be his downfall and Tsunade pierced through his head straight through with a kunai that was channeling her chakra.

Might Guy fell silently to the floor, he was dead, well…dead-er.

"I hope you find peace, wherever you are now." Tsunade thought.

Tsunade climbed up onto the roof, going from roof to roof seemed to be the more appropriate avenue of travel considering the zombies were combing the village alleyways and streets. She quickly dodged from building to building, avoiding anything that was dead and still walking.

Tsunade passed by 2 zombified comrades they were tearing through buildings and anything that they thought could be used as a hiding place. "They're getting restless, there are no more people in the village…I hope Naruto and the villagers got out of here safely…"

"Penny for your thoughts?" Tsunade snapped to attention as a chokuto had impaled her through her chest. Tsunade fell to her knees. "You put up quite a fight didn't you? Making us look everywhere for you." Tsunade looked up at her attacker. "Shikaku…not you too…" Shikaku Nara looked down at her and said, "Yes, I allowed the gospel to take me into her loving embrace, and how wonderful it is…It's not too late you know, just prostrate yourself to the gospel and allow it inside…it feels wonderful." Tsunade looked up at him and said, "And forsake my humanity to become some flesh eater? No thanks." Shikaku shook his head, flesh hanging off his head. His lips were gone and jagged brown teeth were what are left.

"If my son were still around he would've found you much quicker than I did, I was always so proud of him." Tsunade then said, "Shame what happened to him." Shikaku nodded affirmatively. "I suppose that's how things are, the boy probably wouldn't have what it takes to follow the teaching of our gospel, and the boy got bored awfully fast…" Shikaku chuckled. Tsunade then said, "Well then I'll send you to him so you can see him again! Tsunade punched the floor, creating a hole under Shikaku's feet. He fell inside the building below him; a giant piece of rock from the ceiling fell on his head, crushing it completely. "Watch your step…"

"SHE'S HERE!"

Tsunade turned and saw all the zombies had reassembled and were staring her down, eagerly wanting to have an afternoon snack. "What the fuck are you guys looking at!"

Zombie Kakashi appeared before her, his Sharingan eye gleaming. "Tsunade…Lord Hokage, we've been waiting for you to join us. Why do you fight us? Everything will be better once you submit to it. I promise." Tsunade pushed her legs in forcing her up into a standing position then she said, "And become what? A monster? Forsake my humanity for what huh? Immortality? Doesn't sound like a very good deal to me." Kakashi nodded and said, "Tsunade, when it came to new ideas you never did bend much, now that I think about it. I guess if that's what you want, that's what you want. Shame, having you as one of us would've cemented our power." Tsunade coughed up blood as she pulled the chokuto from her chest; she threw it on the floor. "I'm your hokage, and I order you to stand down." Kakashi chuckled and said, "You didn't seriously think that was going to work was it?" Tsunade replied, "It was worth a try."

Tsunade threw a smoke bomb to the ground and the zombies went to frenzy. Tsunade took off running down a alleyway trying to find a place to hide and use first aide on herself. She ducked behind a dumpster and started healing herself when the wall behind her collapsed with an explosion, there were zombies pouring out, attacking her. It had been years since she was in a real battle, but the horrors of war never leave the mind or the muscles, this principal was reinforced when Tsunade was throwing Kunai with pinpoint precision into the skulls of the flesh eaters.

"I was chosen to be the Hokage, your protector. How dare you make me do this! HOW DARE YOU!" Tsunade was killing leaf ninja in a flurry. Crushing their bodies and lobotomizing them left and right. Kakashi had rushed Tsunade down and a scuffle ensued between Tsunade and him, Tsunade dodged nimbly around Kakashi as he tried to bite her. Kakashi had an advantage, his Sharingan allowed him to stay on par with Tsunade, making it easy for him to dodge her powerful fists. Kakashi then said, "This is pointless. Just give up, we've won." Tsunade said, "NO! As long as there is a Will of fire, a will to fight, there will always be someone to stop you!" Kakashi had appeared behind her and kicked her to the ground. "You stupid woman, you will never "get" it will you? There is nobody to stop us; we've taken over everything and anything. Nothing can stop us because there is nobody to stop us!"

"I don't believe you!" Kakashi smiled, his disgusting jagged teeth in plain sight, "No? You think those little Genin you saved are going to be a threat to us!" Tsunade was shocked, "How do you know about them?" Kakashi smiled and said, "Well, a little birdy came to us, and told us where they were hiding, when we arrived…we…helped ourselves, of course our little birdy had already killed a few of them off so some were kinda cold.

Tsunade then said, "What…are you talking about!" Kakashi chuckled and then said, "Its better if he tells you himself, you can come out now."

Tsunade was so surprised she started coughing up blood again. Standing before her was Kakashi and next to him was Sai, he was covered in blood. "SAI! What….WHAT DID YOU DO!" Sai was still a human, remaining unchanged. The zombie Kakashi laughed and said, "Go on Sai, tell her what you did…"

Sai stepped forward and said, "Lady Hokage…I couldn't take it, I couldn't take the fear." Tsunade was starting to piece things together, "You…you didn't?" Sai nodded and said, "In my fear I figured if I offered the others as a sacrifice to these…uhh…people, they would spare me, and they did." Kakashi interjected, "Yes, and we've decided to give him the honor of becoming one of us. Now Sai, are you ready to belong?" Sai nodded and said, "I've been waiting for this for so long." Kakashi nodded and walked over him and sunk his teeth into his shoulder, biting hard into him. Sai let out the most awful scream of anguish and Kakashi threw him to the ground.

Sai started writhing around on the floor as if he was having a seizure, for all Tsunade knew, he was. Sai was still screaming in agony, the change was taking place. After several moments, Sai stopped Tbecome more jagged, he was one of them.

Tsunade nodded, "Sai…how could you? All those children!" Sai chuckled and said, "Some children sound good right about now, them a bit tenderer than the adults, but terrible portion sizes." Tsunade couldn't believe it, Sai had been turned into a monster, but not before selling out the only ninjas left in the village, all to belong to something. Tsunade started crying, "Sai…how could you…" Sai then said, "I did it to belong to something, now that I do, I can't imagine why I'd want to be some silly human that is vulnerable to disease, injury, or death! Now we are forever and we are hungry, and we ARE going to go over and kill you, and eat you, not necessarily in that order. Kakashi put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Good work Sai, spoken like a true preacher of the Word."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Before you do that, can I say a few things? Just to get some things off my chest." Kakashi nodded and said, "Well, normally I don't do this but how often will I get to eat a Kage? Hell with it, go ahead!" Kakashi started laughing.

Tsunade nodded and said, "You're something of a chakra type expert right?" Kakashi nodded and said, "I know a couple of things sure." Tsunade then said, "Do you know about the Light chakra type?" Kakashi nodded and said, "Of course, it's the chakra type used for medical ninjutsu mostly." Tsunade then said, "Go on." Kakashi continued, "But Light chakra was never used to create any offensive jutsu. That's what Dark type chakra is for." Tsunade then said, "Yeah, nobody ever used it for offensive jutsus…but I did it."

Kakashi then said, "What?"

Tsunade stumbled to her feet, her blood running down her side. "This is…okay. I'm ok with this." Tsunade coughed up blood then made a series of hand signs, "Ninja Art: New Genesis" Kakashi then said, "What are you doing?" The center of chakra that Tsunade keeps in her forehead had activated and it was swarming all around her body.

Kakashi then said, "Whatever you're doing, I'm not going to let you do it!" Kakashi activated the Mangekyou, "Kamui!" Kakashi then said, "My Kamui isn't working…It's too much for me to transport…"

Tsunade then said, "This is…where it ends for me, now I leave things to you, I know I'm leaving things in capable hands…Goodbye…Naruto and Sakura." Tsunade's body was being covered in white chakra. "New Genesis Jutsu: Eden Activate" Tsunade had become a being of pure chakra. The zombies were caught in the shockwaves of the energy. Kakashi then said, "It doesn't matter if you kill US! We've already sent many to hunt down Naruto and the others, you still lose!" Tsunade raised her hands and it was a flash of light, a light so white and bright that it pervaded every corner of the village, the entire village was enveloped in its warmth. The light was receding and it was gone. Nothing was left; the village had been utterly obliterated, dusted. There was only dirt on the ground, and at the center was a stone statue. A stone statue of the Fifth Hokage in the same pose that Tsunade was in before she activated her jutsu. Her expression was the exact same as her stone face on the Hokage mountain above her.

Elsewhere…

"Look at that!" Naruto looked into the distance, "Oh man, what is that?" Sakura pointed out the bright white light in the distance. "I've never seen anything like that." Naruto turned to Sakura, "Do you have any idea what that was? That was coming from the direction of the village." Sakura nodded and said, "I…don't know. Lady Tsunade…no…" Naruto then said, "Sakura…Sakura? Sakura!" Sakura snapped to attention, she had gotten lost in thought. Sakura then said, "What is it?" Naruto then said, "Sakura…we're coming up on the border, we're close to the Valley of the End. Sakura then thought to herself, "This is where they fought…so long ago. I wonder where he is right now." Some distance away, following them discreetly was Sasuke, who had also noticed the light coming from Konoha. "A light like that…is the light of destruction…there's no way anyone is still alive from there. I suppose it's just them…and me.

"So how do we do this?" A voice replied, "It's simple, they're going to turn that bend over there, then they'll be right at the valley, once they're in the open, we attack." The zombies were planning their attack, and they were ready, and they were hungry. "So, who's going in first?" Someone stepped forward, "I figured you'd want to be the first to go in, little brother." The voice replied, "Kankuro, just stay by my side, Temari didn't do that and look what happened to her." Kankuro replied, "Heh yeah, she was delicious. So…let's get ready, Gaara." Gaara licked his sickly red jagged teeth and said, "Speaking of delicious," Gaara's sand started to circle him, "Pulverized meat is mouth-watering, give it a try."
