The Battle Intensifies and Ultimate Return of an Old Friend

Right around the time Tetsuya had left the coastline area towards the direction where Naruto was a few flashes of light came out of the sky and it was the result from the Reanimation Jutsu being released however there ended up being a major problem. The problem was that unbeknownst to the Allied Shinobi Forces except for Tetsuya who had known about a major risk of using the Reanimation Jutsu was that whoever was brought back to life during its use can reverse the contract of that jutsu meaning that Madara was still around due to the fact that the developer of that jutsu was his rival's younger brother, Tobirama Senju. With that in mind because Tetsuya still had the feeling that Madara was still around even after the jutsu was released and decided to take his time to get to the battlefield based on the fact he was saving his chakra reserves along with the Rinnegan until the opportunity to clash with the enemy came at hand. "So I can get my revenge on you, Madara and your henchmen for what happened on that day many years ago. Also, I knew who you sent to get Kurama out of my sister and caused the incident which robbed me of the two important lives that I cared so much about on that day soon to be seventeen years ago. At long last I can finally get my hands on you for the sake of risking my own life in order to save the shinobi world from the destruction you caused." Tetsuya thought to himself while traveling to the major battle site of the Fourth Great Ninja War was held. The secret that Tetsuya had long kept for seventeen years from anybody he ever seen was the true identity of the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails incident who had faked the name of Madara Uchiha and hid his face with a mask but in reality was a former student of Minato's who was presumed to be dead, Obito Uchiha. Before long that secret of Obito being alive the entire time was about to be revealed on the battlefield site which did terrify Kakashi when the reveal came to pass.

Almost to the site was when Tetsuya had seen a really massive Tailed Beast Bomb that blew up right at the direction of the Allied Shinobi Forces HQ and knew the worst outcome had happened. This outcome was that Madara and Obito had revived the Ten-Tails which was the main source of chakra being the result of adding all nine tailed beasts' chakra fragments also contained the power of launching Tailed Beast bombs at very long range distances. That made Tetsuya had an uneasy feeling based on the fact that when he had received the Rinnegan that he encountered a fragment of the Sage of the Six Paths' chakra imprint which told him the origin story of the Sage's life, the Ten-Tails, and background information about how chakra came to be in this world that eventually molded into what Tetsuya's true purpose was by following the advice that the Sage gave him along with his chakra fragment which featured the Rinnegan. Once Tetsuya saw the battlefield within his sights was when he sensed and seen that Naruto was panicking because Neji had died due to sacrificing himself for the sake of the future. It was when Tetsuya had overheard Obito telling Naruto to try on coming over their side and that infuriated Tetsuya to the point where he used the mind jutsu so he can get into Naruto's psyche plane quickly as he could.

Upon entering the psyche plane was when Tetsuya had seen Naruto had his head down in a depressing state while Kurama looked on and saw that Tetsuya was there. "Are you going to give up that easily Naruto because a friend of yours sacrificed his life for your sake?" Tetsuya said to Naruto in a bitter tone. "Uncle Tetsuya, well it's just that I didn't want any of my close comrades to die." Naruto said in a sad tone. "That is not the Naruto I know who once told me to never give up, staying true to your word and the dream of becoming a Hokage one day. Because you have to realize that both of your parents sacrificed their lives right after you were born that they entrusted you with everything they had hoped for including their dreams and feelings. Naruto stay strong and don't break the promises you told me long ago. I am going to fight alongside you and Kurama for the sake of the shinobi world which gladly even protecting the people I love and care about very dearly. Well I am going to give both Madara and Obito a piece of my mind because the real me is already here on the battlefield." Tetsuya said with confidence on his face once he left Naruto's psyche plane. It was that moment when Tetsuya had arrived on the battlefield after giving Naruto a talk to regain his will to fight again.

"Well if it isn't the commander of the Shinobi Forces, Tetsuya Uzumaki? I never thought that this day would come where I have to fight you again." Madara and Obito said in unison with a sinister look on both their face while on the Ten-Tails. Meanwhile everyone on the Allied Shinobi Forces who was on the battlefield where shocked to see that Tetsuya had shown up on the battlefield except for Naruto who was calm and regaining his fighting spirit. "Wait a minute what…. Tetsuya is here on the battlefield." This was said among the majority of the Allied Shinobi Forces and still puzzled on what was occurring. "I was going to say the same thing Madara and Obito. This is something I have been waiting seventeen long years for to get my revenge for the destruction you orchestrated Madara. First off, never underestimate the will of the shinobi because we never give up on our dreams that easily besides that's a lesson I learned from my nephew, Naruto which I will gladly sacrifice my life for his sake and for the shinobi world. Obito, I know the truth about what happened on that day seventeen years ago when you were a pawn of Madara's hiding behind the mask that it was you who caused the entire Nine-Tails attack on the Leaf Village. The same incident in which I had to bear witness the deaths of the two people that I deeply cared about being my best friend and my sister which made Naruto not knowing who his parents were for most of his life. Now you are going to pay for the suffering that you put me and Naruto through these past seventeen years." Tetsuya shouted as loud as he could towards Madara and Obito.

Then Naruto who had just recharged from Kurama lending more chakra to him walked up to Tetsuya and asked him, "Will you bump fists with me?". Tetsuya then nodded to give Naruto the ok to fist bump with him and afterwards was when Tetsuya realized Naruto had given him some of Kurama's chakra. "Naruto I am very proud of the young brave man you have become and thank you for everything. Well he really does remind me of the way you were and should be proud of the person your son has now become, Kushina." Tetsuya thought of this while he was bumping fists with Naruto. Afterwards was when the battle continued with Tetsuya assisting Naruto in getting direct hits which severed the connection between the Ten-Tails, Madara, and Obito. Upon having the connection severed was when Kakashi attempted to use Kamui to get a direct hit on the Ten-Tails but instead got Obito which had them fighting in a different dimension which left Tetsuya and everyone else to deal with Madara. Then Naruto with Kurama landed a hit on the Ten-Tails but it regenerated itself which left the Shinobi Forces in shock.

After the attack though was when Naruto almost ran out of chakra and then Sakura rushed to him to heal him up to refill his chakra reserves. Then the Ten-Tails brought out another Tailed Beast Bomb so powerful enough that it would annihilate the entire battlefield. The bomb was getting near its target while Killer Bee in Eight-Tails state was shielding everybody from the attack and suddenly the bomb disappeared. Then Tetsuya reached for pocket to pull out the Flying Raijin kunai and was confused on what was going on because he knew that it was a Flying Raijin Transportation jutsu that made the bomb disappear. "I hardly ever used the Flying Raijin jutsu but it didn't react to the kunai in my hand. If the bomb disappeared with the Transportation jutsu but I knew of one person who would use a jutsu to move such a large object which was Minato. Wait a minute don't tell me it cannot be him that's impossible and I'm sensing his chakra which is getting stronger on its way here. I think Naruto is sensing and thinking of the same thing that I am right at this moment. That would mean he would have to been brought back by the Reanimation Jutsu but a different caster unless the caster figured out the mystery of the Reaper Death Sealing Jutsu which was a jutsu devised by my clan." Tetsuya though of a possible reason why the Tailed Beast Bomb just disappeared out of nowhere. Soon enough a random Flying Raijin kunai appeared on the ground and a figure of a person immediately followed placing his hand on the kunai. Then everyone was staring to see the person appearing right in front of their eyes and he said, "Did I make it in time?". Naruto then responded, "You sure did Dad.". Upon hearing this was when Tetsuya was shocked to finally figure out that his assumption was correct which ended up being Minato who was the person that used the Transportation jutsu to deflect the Tailed Beast bomb in a different direction. "Min... Minato is that really you?" Tetsuya said with a nervous look on his face. "Yes it is me Tetsuya and sure has been a long time my old friend. You are surprised to know that it was me that deflected the Ten-Tails attack across the sea. Don't worry I did not come alone the other three are coming if that's what your worried about." Minato said with a reassuring look on his face towards Tetsuya.

"The other three wait a minute you mean they got brought back to life as well if it's the same three people I am thinking of?" Tetsuya asked Minato in response. Then Minato nodded his head yes and Tetsuya could not be happier to hear that news. The three in which Minato was referring to was the other three previous Hokages: Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Sakura, thank you for healing Naruto because we are about to need him again very shortly." Tetsuya said to Sakura who was almost done healing Naruto. Once all four reanimated Hokages appeared together on the battlefield was when Tetsuya walked toward in their direction. It was at that time when Minato activated his half of the Nine-Tails chakra which surprised mostly everyone on the Allied Shinobi Forces except Tetsuya. "Surprised aren't you Naruto well I knew this day would come when both halves the Nine-Tails or rather Kurama's chakra would be present in action again but your father isn't the only one who has a surprise for you. Watch this." Tetsuya addressed to Naruto before showing him the Rinnegan in both eyes and stopped walking once got right next to Minato's side with a smile on his face. Then Minato with a calm look on face said to Tetsuya, "You ready to do this for old time's sake, Tetsuya.". Tetsuya responded back even addressing the other Hokages, "Well I am ready to sacrifice my life to protect everyone in the shinobi world even including the people that are precious to me. Then I am glad that I can do it alongside with my best friend and the person I've always viewed as a father figure. I'll do anything you guys tell me to Lord First, Lord Second, Lord Third, and you Minato or rather Lord Fourth." It was then that the main battle of the Fourth Great Ninja War had its most anticipated surprise in favor of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
