Raiga may have been able to perform a bastardized version of his baa-chan's strength enhancement. He may have been able to use Senjutsu. He may have been able to use an improved version of Raiton no Yoroi, the pinnacle of Raiton jutsu.

But when he, surrounded in the silver sheen of his Sempou: Raiton no Yoroi, was face to face with a blast of wind that would probably hurt even the Sandaime Raikage…

He got out of the way.

As he dodged, he belatedly realized that, yes, Bijuu's tended to cause damage. The wind tore a hole into the wall of the arena and blew apart a multitude of buildings in Konoha.

He heard a bang go off in the direction of A-sama and, not a moment afterwards, a slew of feathers appeared throughout the Arena. Civilians began to fall asleep and Shinobi were attacked from all sides by groups in grey and purple clothes signifying them as Otogakure Shinobi, tan and white glothes signifying them as Sunagakure Shinobi and…

Well, this time Raiga was truly confused.

Matted in greys and blacks, covered in blank white masks and all wielding a tanto of some format, were the agents of ROOT.

Raiga shook off his muted shock, he would have never suspected Danzo to side with Orochimaru this far, and turned his full attention on Shukaku.

Shukaku looked to be sucking in a breath once more, and before he could fire off another devastating blast of wind Raiga charged.

The effects of Raiton no Yoroi, be it the normal version or the enhanced version incorporating Senjutsu, in combination with his strength enhancement gave Raiga an advantage no other Shinobi could claim to possess.

Tsunade was known for being like a fortress, unmoveable and unstoppable in the right conditons.

A was known for being like the lightning he wore as armor, always moving and capable of plowing through the hardest of walls.

When an unmovable force and an unstoppable force meet, they tend to cause havoc.

Raiga, however, combined the two.

He disappeared in a flash of silver and Shukaku found his engorged stomach stamped down. He may have been the weakest of the Bijuu, regardless of his detest for such a title, but he was also the heaviest of his brethren. So naturally, it came as a surprise when not only was he battled back, he was kicked so hard by Chomei's Jinchuriki that he actually flew.

He did not like flying.

As Shukaku flew Raiga couldn't help but grin ferally at the direction he was going.

Shukaku's body crashed directly into the purple cube like barrier that cut the Kage's off from the rest of the village.


Hiruzen was a man of many things. He was the student of the Nidaime Hokage. He was the sensei of what were now known as the Sannin. His prodigal student turned traitor, his female student ditched the village and his loyalist student was generally gallivanting about, claiming that he was making use of his spy network.

But now… Now he was face to face with that very prodigal student and in a way that he would have never believed.

Orochimaru had murdered the Yondaime Kazekage and using a Kinjutsu of his own creation stole the man's face and caused an invasion on his homeland. And the only thing on his face was pure, unadulterated amusement.

Hiruzen had always known Orochimaru was lost, but for him to go this far…

Hiruzen would shed tears for this at a later date, his student needed to die now.

But, while Orochimaru was always lost, Hiruzen could feel the knife of betrayal stab him in the gut as he stared at the man directly next to his wayward student.

Clothed in the traditional armor of the Senju in grey colors was a man he'd never have believed to betray the village. His face was linear and aged, a jagged cross scar hung at his chin and his black hair was beginning to gray ever so slightly.

Danzo Shimura, Hiruzens shadow, had joined an invasion against Konoha. It was well known throughout the world that Danzo was a patriot of the highest order.

It just didn't make sense.

"Danzo… Why?!"

He sneered at Hiruzen, hatred billowing in his coal black eye, "Because you have brought this village to tools needed to become the worlds greatest power, but you lack the drive to take it!"

He pointed over at the arena, where Shukaku's back was noticeable to them, and the ruin that the beast wrought upon his village, "Do you see that? The power of a Bijuu?! Konoha has the Kyuubi, the greatest of its kind, and yet you refuse to train the host! Our weapon! And now there are four more Bijuu in Konoha. The Ichibi, Nibi, Nanabi and Hachibi are all here."

He then uncovered his right eye, showing the infamous pinwheel of the Uchiha, and removed the heavy clamp on his right arm, showing the face of their Shodaime on his shoulder and 10 Sharingan implants.

He darkly proclaimed to Hiruzen, his right eye turning into the 4 pointed pinwheel of Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyo, "And I will take them all for the village. With their power under my command, Konoha will no longer be a member of the 5 Great Shinobi Villages.

"We will be an Empire."

Hiruzen just couldn't understand Danzo. True the Bijuu were power incarnate, but they were distributed by the Shodaime! Did the man honestly

It was at this moment that Hiruzen truly regretted his decision to spare his rivals life. Now he understood what Danzo meant when he proclaimed that Hiruzen's weakness would lead to his downfall.

A voice sounded from behind Hiruzen, "This really isn't your day, is it shitflinger?"

A softer, feminine one sounded from behind Hiruzen once more, "No, sensei's always had worse luck with politics than I do gambling."

Another voice came, this time noticeably more annoying than the others, "We jus' gon' hafta show dese fools lifes next chapta."

A final voice was heard, and all that voice did was yawn, "This is so dull…"

Hiruzen mechanically turned around to see A, cloaked in the infamous Raiton no Yoroi, Killer B, cloaked in a red bubbling mass, Ranton no Darui looking as bored as ever and his last student cracking her knuckles with a glare in her hazel eyes.

Orochimaru finally spoke up, the amusement in his voice gone and now replaced with the hardened soldier Hiruzen had trained, "It seems that this won't be as simple as we had planned Danzo."

Danzo shook his head, a glimmer of insanity in his single black eye, "No. It was never meant to be easy.

"But, then again, all good things in the world require effort to achieve."

It was at that very moment that Shukaku crashed into the barrier, breaking it near instantly, and falling directly onto the building.


Yugito knew that it the reason she went on her trip to Konoha was to watch the Chunin Exams and subsequently watch her little brotherish figure destroy the whole of the competition.

She did not expect for an invasion to occur.

But, as she battle the forces of Oto and Suna with the strangers that made of the forces of Konoha, she knew that, logically speaking, she didn't have much of a choice.

She was aware of the hope her Kage had to create an alliance between Kumo and Konoha, effectively ending any major threats on their part for a long while. It made perfect sense in its own right, Kumo and Konoha were known as the top dogs, and the only force the could contest would be Iwa, which at the moment was still licking its wounds from the 3rd Shinobi War. Konoha may have been weakened, but they still held the legacy that won 3 consecutive wars.

In fighting with Konoha at this time, Kumo was one step closer from reaching the goal of alliance.

So, when her enhanced sense, due in part to her union with Matatabi, kicked in to gear and she smelled a multitude of snakes the size of a boss summon, she knew what she had to do.

She jumped up, her extended and flow coated nails cutting through a random Oto Shinobi, and headed towards the snakes.

"Matatabi!"

"…Fine~…"

Her body was engulfed in azure flames and it began to grow. Soon, Yugito took on the form of Matatabi and did the one thing cats did the moment they saw prey.

She pounced.


When Shukaku attempted to get up, he felt something that he'd never felt before.

Tendrils of wood shot out from the ground and wrapped around his legs and tail. He could feel his Chakra, his life energy, being sucked into the wood.

Shukaku's crazed eye surveyed around, noticing that Gyuki's container was nearby and his brother keeper. He turned his head and found what he was looking for.

A man, with black hair and grey armor, was using a hand seal and staring at the wood surrounding his body.

Shukaku, being the only Bijuu that wasn't captured by Hashirama Senju and being forced to submit to the power of his Mokuton, was not aware that this wood was only a small portion of what his brethren felt upon their capture.

And he didn't like it one bit.

"I'LL EAT YOU YA LITTLE FLESHBAG! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

He rose his left arm, the only remaining portion of his body that didn't have wood on it, and slammed it down at Danzo's position.

Danzo hastily jumped out of the way, but the windsheer of the blast knocked him off balance.

It was at that moment that a volley of dense mist surrounded the building. Even with Shisui's Sharigan Danzo could not fully make out where it was cast, nor could he pinpoint the source of the thick Chakra that it came from. Only a moment of baited breath passed before Raiga appeared behind him under the guise Sempou: Raiton no Yoroi with one of his swords drawn and an ugly sneer taking place from his normally smirking face.

He cut down on Danzo's pasty white arm, the source of his power to control the Ichibi, and grinned unrepentantly as he snatched the arm out of thin air. Danzo growled in fury as Raiga disappeared in a flash of silver, leaving no trace of what occurred aside from the obvious. The mist dissipated soon after, and Danzo landed back on the partially destroyed building, his arm missing and a look of rage on his face.

Raiga landed on top of Shukaku's stomach with his ever-present smirk on his face and held up Danzo's severed arm, which made Orochimaru lick his lips. Raiga sealed the arm away into one of his many storage scrolls. He then lifted his free arm up, symbols dancing across his fingers wreathed in violet flames and slammed his open palm down onto Shukaku's stomach.

"Gogyo Fuin!"

Shukaku let out one last scream of "NOT AGAIN!" before his form seemed to absorb into itself. From the stomach that Raiga slammed down on, Gaara appeared to be completely asleep with a hole over the cloth covering his heart, showing Shukaku's seal now encased in an additional set of kanji.

Orochimaru looked at what was in front of him, and couldn't hold in the frown that escaped him. His original plan had been to resurrect the dead Hokage's and let them battle his sensei while he watched, happily, as his sensei was murdered by his predecessors and successor.

Now?

Now he was face to face with 6 S-rank individuals. His sensei, Tsunade, the Raikage, the Hachibi Jinchuriki, the Ranton user and finally, and most surprising, the Nanabi Jinchuriki.

Orochimaru briefly looked at what he caused to occur in Konoha, the carnage he wrought, if only temporarily, and nodded.

"Sensei, it appears as if I am outmatched."

Hiruzen, garbed in his armor, raised an eyebrow at his former student, "So you accept your death? I find that unlikely."

Orochimaru cackled, "No, nonono sensei, I merely stated that I am outmatched.

"I'll just have to gather allies and return to finish the job at a later date."

He went through a flurry of hand seals, pricked his thumb with his fore-fingernail and slammed it down on the ground…

"Gyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

And disappeared in a plume of smoke; transported to the Ryuchi Cave.


Danzo was quickly neutralized and beheaded by the six-some and the invasion ended. The casualty rate went as follows…

Oto: 534 dead and 329 injured.

Suna: 340 dead and 126 injured.

Konoha: 174 dead and 197 injured.

Kumo: 33 dead and 17 injured.

The reason Kumo had so few deaths and injuries was because they only brought 60 people, including Raiga, Samui, Karui, Omoi, Darui, B, Karin and A.

The most interesting thing that occurred at the end was that Hiruzen, on his hands and knees, begged both Jiraiya and Tsunade for one of them to take his place as Hokage. After much arguing between the 2 of them they decided to pick the Hokage the old fashioned way.

Rock Paper Scissors.

And, the most surprising turn of events, was when Jiraiya pulled out rock, Tsunade flashed him her boobs, making his hand go from a rock to paper in an attempt to touch them. She formed a scissor with her fingers and snapped at the hand with a grin.

Jiraiya called it unfair, but Tsunade proclaimed that she had absolutely no interest in becoming Hokage. Jiraiya didn't either, he said, but Tsunade argued that she'd stay in the village and take over the hospital if he did it. Hiruzen cut in and accepted Tsunade's decision before Jiraiya could come up with any further arguments.

Thus, Jiraiya was named Godaime Hokage.

The Kumo/Konoha alliance was finalized on that day, and Raiga, who had just been speed promoted to Tokubetsu Jonin, was named their ambassador.

Naturally, Raiga was not happy.

So he made a condition; that he'd become the ambassador on the condition that Karin be made his political partner and Yugito his combat partner. It wasn't unheard of, A used B for combat and Mabui for politics, so he agreed.

Tsunade even offered them lodgings in the Senju compound.

The relation between Suna and Konoha took a steep dive, what with Konoha's newest alliance and their betrayal, but it was determined that until they had a Godaime Kazekage to politic with that they would be temporarily neutral.

Gaara, as well as his teammates, was released after both Raiga and Jiraiya looked over and improved his seal.

All was well, for now.


Nagato stared at the newest addition to the Bingo Book at his Rinnegan blazed in fury.

APPROACH WITH CAUTION

"So… The Nanabi's death was just a distraction…"

The stare of the Deva Path's Rinnegan could have burned the pages of his Bingo Book if it were any more deadly.

Konan, off to the side of the room, watched her childhood friend calm down. She could just barely make out a whisper.

"He shall know pain."

Konan sighed.

It appeared that the bounty on the Jinchuriki needed to be raised.


Raiga, still in Konoha, made his way to the forest. It had been 3 days since the invasion, and he had come to collect an item of great importance.

Before he even entered the arena, Raiga had created a multitude of Kage Bunshin and set them to hide. He wasn't certain if the invasion would occur, but if it did then he knew that there was no better opportunity to do this.

He came to the location that he, from the memories of one of his clones, stored the item in question.

At a small, unsuspecting tree was a barely noticeable patch of dirt.

He got down on his knees and dug into the dirt, finding what he was looking for.

A small wooden box.

He grabbed one of his many storage scrolls and readied it for what was inside the box.

Removing the lid from the box, he came across that which he made his clone steal.

During the invasion, while everybody was busy fighting, he had his clones under the Meisaigakure no Jutsu go into the Hokage tower and attempt to find the Scroll of Seals.

He didn't want them to steal the item in question, that'd put a target on his back as a well known thief.

No, Raiga had them copy a technique from the scroll and hide it out in the forest, for him to pick up later on and learn at his leisure.

And now he looked at the scroll with two very well-known words on it with absolute glee in his eyes.

"Edo Tensei."


Hey there peoples, Umodin back with another update. Sorry about the wait, but I had other ideas i had to put to pen and kinda sorta forgot about Plot Thief.

But no more!

Anyways, I decided to make the invasion go by quickly, there was no way Orochimaru would risk legitimately dying and he wasn't going to survive so many S-rankers at once.

I decided to make this much more AU and allowed Hiruzen to live as well as made Jiraiya the Hokage.

Why?

Because it made me giggle.
