5 Years Later
Naruto is 18 now and Akatsuki is on the move
Minato stood on top of the Kage tower as he stared off into the distance, the sight of thousands of flying shinobi made him worry for the safety of his village.
"ANBU, initiate a code red…the village is under attack. It seems that the attacker is shinobi from the Land of the Sky," Minato shook his head, all the villages were becoming more and more hostile towards each other, it seems that another war is coming. When the Akatsuki captured Han the Five Tails container, Iwa demanded that Konoha send some of its own shinobi to replace its vital fire power. When Konoha immediately demanded Iwa and Kumo who gave Iwa some of its own shinobi severed their bond with Konoha.
Minato realized that they had a secret agenda which was probably to obtain a bloodline from Konoha so he had no problems with rejecting their request.
Moments later a loud blaring ran through the village as the shinobi breached through their defenses.
Minato sighed and pulled out a three pronged kunai.
Hokage's Mansion
Mito groaned at the loud sound of the alarms as she covered her ears with a pillow until seconds later she recognized the sound.
"The village is in danger!" she quickly dressed in her uzumaki battle armor and raced towards the village.
Sarin sighed as her peaceful meditating time was ruined by the annoying alarm. Sasuke chuckled from behind her as he activated his sharingan and raced towards the village with Sarin on his tail.
Sarin saw Mito exiting her clan compound and sighed, they barely made up since all those years ago, sure they talked but that feeling of anger was still between them.
They saw that most of the village already joined the fight. The Fourth had to summon a giant toad because his flying thunder god wasn't working well in the sky. Sasuke immediately activated susanoo while Sarin was more reluctant to since Sasuke had the EMS and she only had the MS, she had no one to trade with unless one of the Uchihas gained their own pair.
As soon as the gigantic susanoo appeared the last of the sky shinobi started to tactically retreat.
"Ya! You better run!" Menma yelled, arriving late to the battle field.
"Every shinobi jounin or higher in my office now!" Minato's voice blared through the village.
Hokage's Office
All the called shinobi besides the ones on missions came.
"As we saw today, the Sky shinobi are becoming more direct in their attempts to start a war. Before I was rudely interrupted by their little invasion…I received an urgent message from our ally Suna…their kazekage has been abducted. We know of only one group of shinobi that are strong enough to commit such an act…the Akatsuki," at this, flashes of the Akatsuki members ran through everyone's mind.
"Now, I would send a squad of ANBU to do the mission but the village's safety is too important for such a risk especially after what happened today. So I will need a group capable of saving a fighting S-Rank ninja, Jiraiya has informed me that they only travel in pairs of two," Minato informed them.
At the thought of getting a chance to fight Akatsuki members Menma and Mito's hands immediately raised. Sasuke's hands went up at the thought of probably getting a chance to fight Sin.
Minato sighed as he looked around the room, he knows that he should probably be the one picking out the shinobi for this mission but he knew that there would be a lot of people reluctant to do a mission of this caliber and judging by the amount of raised hands he was right.
"Everyone but Sarin, Sasuke, Menma, Sakura, and Mito leave," he ordered, everyone one immediately left but those called.
Minato threw a folder at Sasuke, "Sasuke your team captain. Team Sasuke you are to meet up with Team Might Guy who is out of the village on a mission then you will travel to Suna where you will assist them in any way possible!"
The 5 immediately left, they all had emergency travel scrolls with them. When they reached the village gates they meet with Mina and Hinata.
"Be safe out there guys and make sure to kill a couple of Akatsuki for us!" Mina smiled with a thumbs up. She chose not to go since she had her own team of genins.
"Menma be careful," Hinata whispered with a small blush adoring her cute face.
Menma walked up to her and captured her lips in a searing kiss, "Don't worry Hinata, I'll always come back to you!"
Hinata smiled brightly at him as he walked away with his team.
Team Sasuke meet up with Team Guy; Guy, Lee, Neji and Tenten they debriefed them of the mission. Then they all started off towards the village of Suna.
Suna
Once they reached the village they were confronted by a crying Temari as she explained the situation to them.
'So the two Akatsuki members are Deidara and Sasori. Perfect, I can handle Deidara by myself since his chakra laced clay will not be able to escape my eyes. The others will handle Sasori, I'm sure Sarin will be able to handle him easily,' Sasuke thought already formulating a plan.
"Alright team we need to head out now since they probably began the process of taking the bijuu from Gaara-sama," Sasuke informed them.
"Wait," they heard a voice and looked down to see an old lady, "I'm coming with you, I need to fix my wrongs with Sasori." Lady Chiyo informed them.
"No Lady Chiyo you can't Sasori is long gone, now all that's left of him is a cold hearted monster!" Temari yelled.
"I can and I will!" she bit back firmly. Temari shook her head realizing that she couldn't stop the crazy old lady from thinking she could reach the heart of a sick and twisted man.
The Team Traveled on the trail of the chakra of Gaara until Sasuke raised his hands to stop them. He smirked in the distance, "Deidara your bombs are as clear as the day to me," he stated.
"Everyone, scatter!" Sarin yelled. Seconds later a terrifying explosion was sounded throughout the forest creating a gigantic hole in the center.
Laughter was heard throughout the entire forest as Deidara appeared on top of a huge clay bird.
"Don't celebrate too early!" Sasuke yelled as he appeared with his curse seal activated and slashed his sword at Deidara. Deidara's eyes widened as he dodged the sword and fell towards the ground.
Sasuke stood on top of the clay bird as he watched his team advance on ahead, leaving him to his own devices.
A pair of hands formed from the back of the clay bird and rapped their hands on Sasuke's feet with an iron clad grip. An explosion later and the top of Sasuke's vest floated all torn and ripped towards the ground.
Deidara cackled loudly at the thought of himself killing an Uchiha, "Hahaha, take that Sin!"
There was a crack of lightning as Sasuke's chidori ripped through Deidara's chest.
Deidara's eyes widened, he quickly replaced himself with his a log and created another clay bird.
"That's it!" he yelled in anger, "I was saving this attack for someone really strong and it looks like I've found him," Deidara finished. Moments later in place of Deidara was a…gigantic Deidara. Sasuke was a little nerved by the sight.
"You will be the first to witness my greatest art piece ever…THE C4!" Deidara's body expanded and exploded in a flashing white light. Thanks to his sharingan Sasuke was able to see the white cloud coming after him dissolving everything it touched. Sasuke immediately ran full speed away from the cloud.
Just as Sasuke thought that he was about to die, a vortex appeared right next to him and pulled him in.
Sasuke looked around, he was in a dark room. Someone in the shadow across the room from him spoke.
"Sasuke Uchiha, almost killed by Deidara granted he was an S-rank but he shouldn't have the type of power to kill an Uchiha of your caliber. He had you to the point where I had to step in," the dark voice calmly stated.
"W-who are you?" Sasuke question him.
"I am Madara Uchiha," the voice said as a vortex came and took him with it as it left.
Sasuke found his way out of the room, it was a hotel room inside of a village near the place where Deidara detonated. Sasuke shook his head at the thought of 'Madara Uchiha', he knew that it wasn't him because Minato said he fought a guy at the time of the Kyuubi attack who claimed to be Madara but the guy wasn't strong enough to be the godlike Madara.
"Now to find my team," he said as he shot off into the distance, he could feel a large amount of chakra usage in the distance.
In a destroyed forest there was thousands of puppets laid out across the ground. In the center of the village Lady Chiyo's body was sprawled out across Gaara's. The group arrived too late on the scene. They had to get past a complex sealed boulder and when they were able to, they found Sasori sitting on top of Gaara's dead body. Menma immediately raged at the sight of a fellow jinchuuriki being treated in such a way. Menma battled Sasori to the death but the entire battle was completely one sided as Menma was too fast and powerful for Sasori to handle alone.
Lady Chiyo gave her life to save Gaara, so she could liberate her own guilt for sealing the One-Tails inside of him with such a sloppy seal.
Once Sasuke found them they traveled all the way back to Suna were they received the bounty of Sasori and countless of thanks for saving their Kage. The group then traveled back to Konoha urgently after Sasuke told him his story of encountering 'Madara'.
"Team Sasuke back from a mission," Sasuke told the gate guards. A squad of ANBU came and escorted the team to the Hokage's office.
"Team Sasuke, debrief!" Minato commanded, hiding his relief that the team made it back with all of their members.
Sasuke walked in front of his team and explained what happened, Guy stepped in after him to explain how the fight with Sasori went.
Minato took out his personal bingo book and ripped out 2 pages, "So that's two members down. Good job team."
"I wish I could give you guys a longer break but something big is about to happen. Take the rest of the day off…but there is a mandatory meeting for everyone chunin and higher tonight." Minato informed them as he dismissed them.
Later That Night Hokage's Office
All shinobi chunin and higher were whispering, wondering what the emergency meeting was all about. Kushina was sitting with the newest addition to the Uzumaki-Namikaze family sitting on her lap.
Nato Uzumaki-Namikaze 2 year's old, blue eyes, blond and dark purple streaked hair, he looks like a good mixture of Minato and Kushina.
"SILENCE!" Minato's voice rang out, immediately silencing the whole crowd.
Minato looked around at his villages many loyal shinobi, he was proud of all of them. They worked hard over the years to secure their position as the strongest of the villages. Minato almost didn't want to drop this bomb shell on them but he had to.
"The little attack that we received from the Village in the Sky killed one of the granddaughters of the Daimyo that were staying here," Minato allowed them to let out all of their gasps, "she came here to get acquainted with her future husband a Hyuga. My hands are tied everyone, the Daimyo and the council are agreeing for us to counter attack the Village in the Sky."
The majority of the shinobi yelled out cheers, they will be able to get back at the shinobi of the Sky for attacking their precious village.
Minato smiled a little at the pride of his shinobi, "The war strategies are under way, in a week they will be given out. If you have flying summons," Minato gave looks to a couple Uchiha that were in the room, "then please report to my office tomorrow for we will need your assistance in getting to the Village in the Sky. The Yamanakas, Hyuga, and Uchiha are all working on recreating their flying contraptions so we will be able to fly also. Make sure to sharpen your skills with the little time you have. You guys are dismissed!" Minato dismissed them all.
Minato rubbed his temples as he gained a foreboding feeling about this.
"Aww does little Minato-chan have a headache?" he felt his wife sit down on his lap and whisper on his neck.
"Kushina, we can't do this with Nato around," Minato blushed feeling all of his ANBU disappear from the office.
"Well than, it's a good thing that Mina was here to take him home then isn't it?" Kushina stated.
Minato gulped as he felt a shift in his lower regions.
Akimichi Restaurant
The Konoha 15 were sitting around, some excited and some nervous.
"So what do you all think about this?" Hinata asked.
"I can't wait to destroy that stupid village and get all the hot babes!" Kiba boosted.
"Shut up you idiot, this is a serious matter! We don't know what we are getting into, none of our shinobi has ever been to that village. To top it off they have an advantage of us since they are in the sky!" Ino stated, brushing her beautiful blond locks behind her ears.
"Pfft, when they attacked us their strategy wasn't well thought out. They had no reinforcements, they attacked us with all they had in one go. Which means they probably have no good Intelligence Corp," Shikamaru stated, "plus a couple of good tailed beast bombs and the village will probably be falling."
"You are forgetting that they may have some unknown defense that can counter the tailed beast bombs. To stay in air for such a long time as they have, it must take lots of chakra or energy from some source," Shino informed them.
"Don't worry we are the village of the eyes. We will be able to see major chakra sources within the village. Even though I won't be with you guys because I have other matters to attend to," they all knew that was his way of boosting. He has made it to the ANBU commander at such a young age, Neji is truly a prodigy worth everyone's attention.
The Hyuga clan head has even took off Neji's caged bird seal to show how proud the clan was of him.
"Well, there is no point in setting down, we need to be training so we can show the Village in the Sky, our FLAMES OF YOUTH!" Lee yelled with fire in his eyes as he raced out of the restaurant, to further his intense training.
Little by little the Konoha 15 left to go do some training of their own.
1 Week Later
In a forest near the village that pointed in the direction of the Village in the Sky, Minato stood in front of about 500 of his shinobi.
"Today your mission is to infiltrate the Village in the Sky and destroy it!" Minato explained.
"The commanders of this assignment are Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Menma Uzumaki-Namikaze." The Fourth stated, he turned around with his cloaks bellowing behind him and disappeared in a bright golden flash. The Fourth would be staying inside the village to make sure none of the other villages got smart and attempted to attack them while some of their strongest shinobi was out of the village.
All of the shinobi equipped their flying devices which all they have to do to use it is channel some of their chakra into it. The ones that would be taking summons lined up behind Sasuke. The shinobi split into 3 groups, 1 following Sasuke, the other following Kakashi, and the last following Menma.
They reached beneath the village in a matter of hours, they smirked as their blood started pumping.
"Alright, Sasuke and Menma's men will attack the village from opposite ends while my squad will examine the mechanisms of the village and act as reinforcements," Kakashi informed them.
Sasuke and Menma shook hands and smirked at each other as they led their men to their designated spots. A minute later, all hell rained lose.
"They were expecting us," Sasuke informed them as all of his squad landed on the village on the backs of his crow summons. In the distance there was a purple barrier that protected the palace like tower of the village.
Shinobi of the Village in the Sky were racing towards them on top of low flying devices.
"Good, I didn't want to destroy the village with no fight!" Sasuke activated his EMS and then susanoo in a split second.
"Shinobi of the leaf village…ATTACK!" he yelled at them. Shinobi from both sides clashed with each other.
"Dammit! We have to go deeper in the village for reinforcements, they are attacking us from both sides!" A sky nin yelled out.
The sky shinobi started to tactically retreat as the ground shook. Sasuke's eyes widened as a gigantic robotic machine came out, there was someone with a crazed look in his eyes riding the machine.
"Hahahaha, die Uchiha scum!" the man yelled as a beam powered up in his arm and he fired it.
Sasuke immediately powered up his susanoo into its armored mode and took the full blast.
Shinobi from both side stopped their battles to see what damage the attack did, when the smoke cleared there was a trail of destroyed ground leading to Sasuke with a hole in his ANBU plate.
Sasuke looked down and realized that his susanoo and ANBU plate saved his life.
"T-that a-a-attack," he whispered as he realized his susanoo will have to go through all the stages again.
'What the fuck was that? The armored susanoo is supposed to be the strongest defense in the world! If that thing can do this to me then I cannot leave here without destroying it…it's too powerful to be allowed to prosper!' Sasuke thought as he activated his susanoo and it went through its stages slowly.
Sasuke chuckled as he saw the greedy look in the man's eyes as he watched Sasuke's susanoo form, "I didn't think I would have to use my trump card so early, but you have my hands tied, behold…" moments later everyone was in awe as a gigantic sword appeared in Sasuke's hand, "MY PERFECT SUSANOO!"
The wings on Sasuke's perfect susanoo opened as he launched himself towards the robot.
The man in the robot smiled, "Yes come at me. After today I will be known as Hiro the Uchiha Slayer!"
Both titans clashed creating sparks, the robot used its bare hands to hold back the blade of the perfect susanoo.
The robot's mouth opened and Sasuke's eyes widened as another beam was being powered.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Sasuke said and he replaced himself with one of his shadow clones. The beam completely destroyed it. Seconds later, 9 Sasuke's activated their perfect susanoo, 8 out of the 9 charged the robot.
'Shit, I'm not doing any damage to this dam bastard.' Sasuke thought as he looked around the field and saw that none of his squad were doing much damage, the only time a sky nin died was when their unprotected body was hit.
"It has to do with the armor." Sasuke conformed.
Suddenly every Konoha shinobi's ear piece sounded, 'Every Shinobi incapable of using sage chakra retreat immediately. The armor that the Sky shinobi have are so strong that only sage chakra or S-rank jutsus can penetrate it!' Menma's voice informed them all.
Most of the shinobi immediately left while the sky shinobi went after them.
Sasuke ordered his clones to keep Hiro away from him as he meditated.
'I can't hold this form for long,' he thought as he opened his eyes which looked a lot darker than before and his sharingan was spinning faster than before.
Sasuke looked up and was shocked to see that he was surrounded by 3 of those giant robots.
"Hehee," Hiro chuckled, "the blood clones that your village kept locked up is in our hands now boy. Now I will give you a choice to run or fight." Hiro said.
Sasuke stood up within his susanoo, a cloud formed from above the village and a lightning bolt hit Sasuke's Susanoo's hand.
"While you were busy showing mercy, I was busy forming these clouds. It was nice meeting you Hiro!" Sasuke shouted as his susanoo flashed in front the main Hiro.
"Susanoo: Godly Chidori!" the bottom of the robots stomach opened and the susanoo's hands went through the hole and then something clamped down on it.
"I've got you now pesky Uchiha!" Hiro yelled. Suddenly Hiro saw the background start to melt, he immediately dispelled the genjutsu.
It was too late though, when he came back to reality he realized that Sasuke's chidori did reach its intended target as there was a hole in his robot but it wasn't him who did it.
"I guess your robot isn't immune to everything. The moment you stared into my eyes I had you under my genjutsu. Now don't worry I won't kill you…I'll leave that to Anko," Sasuke grinned. He then channeled chakra through the chidori and electrocuted Hiro to the point he passed out.
Sasuke then summoned a crow which will take Hiro back to the leaf village.
The Hiro blood clones immediately attacked Sasuke with raged filled eyes.
'5-minutes,' Sasuke thought.
"I wonder how beautiful sage laced amaterasu looks," Sasuke smirked.
"Amaterasu!" Sasuke yelled, the black flames engulfing the two robots.
Sasuke heard a loud explosion and looked off in the distance to see Menma in 9 tailed mode completely destroying groups of robots.
Sasuke looked at the 100 sky shinobi lined up to fight him.
The susanoo just split them all in half with one slash.
Sarin and Menma landed next to him just as his sage mode ran out.
"Sasuke and Sarin, you both should go, I can hold sage mode longer then you both and I and my sisters can use the Kyuubi's powers to finish off the rest," Menma informed them.
"Those who abandon team mates are worst then trash, you do well to remember that Menma." Sasuke said with a steel gaze in his eyes, "Plus I and Sarin have tons of chakra that we can use on S-rank jutsu, like the chidori for example."
Menma just sighed as both Mito, Mina and Sakura landed next to them.
"We finished killing all of the shinobi on the parameters, now all that's left is the center. I can't wait to go home and get all this disgusting blood off of me." Mina held her nose.
Sasuke and Menma nodded as the shot off towards the village's center. Sakura gave Sasuke some chakra so that he would be able to tap into sage mode once more, which he did before they entered approached the center.
10 of the robots dropped down in front of them but they made quick waste of them, having no time to lose.
Inside of the palace a man sat down twirling wine in his hands, "Send out the prototype," the man ordered.
The man felt a beast roar inside of his body, 'Calm down 0 tails, we will make quick work of these fools.' He felt the barrier get destroyed curtesy of one Menma Uzumaki.
"And bring me my armor."
"Guys, I think whatever was giving these guys energy is coming out…I-it h-h-has more energy than…the five tails!" Mito yelled.
A couple of seconds later a colossal robot came out, easily 10 times the size of the other ones they faced. This one had no one controlling it.
Sasuke and Sarin immediately activated their susanoos, Sarin doesn't have the perfect susanoo.
Menma summoned something larger than the robot as the smoke started to clear something orange was seen through the smoke.
When the smoke cleared they saw Menma sporting the signature look of a toad sage while standing with his arms crossed…on top of the Kyuubi.
"You guys go on, I'll take care of this big guy. Don't worry I'll be quick," he winked at them.
The group went on but Mina stayed back to make sure her brother was safe.
Before they could reach the palace the door opened and a man with a black wild hair wearing the same armor that everyone else was.
"You shinobi did it…managed to destroy years of hard earned work." He congratulated them.
"The only problem that you guys have is that, I am not like the other guys. In fact I would say that my only match in the world is…Minato Namikaze," he stated with no arrogant tone.
Sasuke muttered a quick shit as he realized his sage mode wore out. He looked up and saw the man right in his face, "W-what speed!"
"Sasuke!" the girls yelled.
"Hello, my name is Shinno. Pleased to meet you." The now named Shinno yelled as he smacked Sasuke across the place causing him to fly through buildings. Sasuke groaned in pain as he fell unconscious.
Chakra chains sprouted from the ground and locked around Shinno's body. Shinno looked to see Mina on her knees with her hands on the ground and an angry look. Shinno smiled at her and his untamed hair stood as lighting crackled around his body, "Gate of Wonder!"
Sarin's eyes widened, "This man who just defeated Sasuke so easily was able to open up the 7th gate. Mito and Mina we have to end this quickly!"
Sakura was busy taking Sasuke to safety to help.
Sarin's created a chidori and Mito created a rasengan while Mina just held Shinno at bay.
Shinno smirked down at the girls when their hands went through his body, he didn't even wince.
He back handed both the girls away and ripped away from the chains of the Uzumaki clan. He appeared in front of Mina and kneed her in the gut causing her to fall over he then back handed her also.
All three of the girls were one the brink of fainting as they stared at the man who seemed to be dying with laughter as he had to dry his tears.
"I'm beating the famous princess of Konoha with 1 jutsu, hahahah."
"Picking on little girls are we Shinno?" a smooth voice sounded throughout the clearing.
The girls struggled to look up at the new arrival. A man with gray gravity defying hair that went past his shoulders, he was a man of fair skin and when Mina saw him she thought he looked pretty cute. He was dressed in a classic Uchiha battle armor and even had the gunbai on his back.
'I didn't know any Uchiha within the village had the gunbai,' she thought as she passed out from the pain.
"Naruto Uchiha, pleased to meet you," Shinno said wait a crazed grin, "and I am pleased to kill you."
Shinno flashed in front of Naruto and prepared to kill him with a chakra enchanted punch to the face.
Naruto raised a hand and caught Shinno's fist with a smirk. Shinno smirked also, maybe this battle wouldn't be as boring as he thought it would.
There was a loud boom in the distance and the figure of the Kyuubi disappeared.
"I guess the Kyuubi received the surprise I left for him," Shinno said as he jumped away from Naruto.
A dark orb formed in Shinno's hands as he flung himself towards Naruto and plunged it inside of his stomach.
Naruto exploded in a puff of smoke alerting Shinno that it wasn't the real one.
Shinno's gigantic robot came not to him ready to protect its master.
"After stealing some of your villages secrets while the battle was going on I watched many of the fights that were going on. I now know that I can defeat you and that I should not attempt to fight you in close combat. I can't match your speed but you can't penetrate through my defense with those puny lights." Naruto informed him as a black armored susanoo surrounded him.
"Let's see about that," Shinno said as the prototype next to him opened its mouth and shot a beam at Naruto. Before the beam hit him Naruto deactivated his susanoo and shunshined in front of Shinno. Naruto's sword engulfed with lightning cut through Shinno.
The Shinno that he just killed was a clone. Naruto activated his sharingan spotted the real Shinno.
"Amaterasu!" Naruto yelled. Shinno raced around in circles trying to avoid being caught in the flames.
Rain started to pour on top of the village as dark clouds formed.
"Lightning Release: Heavens Breath!" the bolt of lightning traveled slowly in both Shinno and Naruto's eyes. To make sure Shinno didn't escape, Naruto summoned his own chakra chains and held him down. In a split second an enormous clap of thunder was heard.
Naruto chuckled as he could no longer see nor feel Shinno's chakra. He deactivated his sage mode.
Down below the village the Konoha shinobi thought the lightning attack was Sasuke's and they cheered him on for it.
Seconds later they felt a shocking amount of chakra form in the sky as the clouds split, a loud shout of "Tengai Shinsei!" was heard as they saw a gigantic boulder falling down on the village.
Naruto looked up at his creation and smiled to himself.
He spotted Sarin's body lying a few meters away from him, he went over and picked her up bridal style. He summoned a gigantic bird and sat on top of it.
"No please, leave Sarin alone," he heard a weak voice croak out. Naruto looked and saw a bloody Menma walking with weak steps towards him.
Naruto gave him a cold look, "I think I am more capable of taking care of my own sister than you." Naruto then took off, his bird giving a gigantic call of victory.
Menma stared after him as his eye lids slowly closed he felt someone catch him before he fell.
