First off I want to apologize for not updating lately. I have been in and out of the hospital for the past few weeks with some serious medical problems. I will also be going in for surgery on the 15 so this will probably be the last update till sometime after that. Depending on how well my recovery goes I will try to update quickly but if I can't, please just bear with me for a bit. I also want to thank each and everyone one of you who take the time to read and review my work. I never expected this story to do so well and I can't thank you all enough for all the support. The fights during this chapter will more than likely be short and simple. Especially the small section between Kurama and Shukaku, I mean let's face it, Shukaku wouldn't stand a chance against Kurama. The invasion has been done every way possible and I want to get on to my own ideas for the story. Now, on with the chapter.
Around the hidden leaf village, battles were taking place as the leaf ninja fought against the invading forces of Suna and Oto. Naruto used chakra to stick to the wall of the exams arena as he ran back up towards the competitor's box. As he ran, he reached up to the card case and pushed his chakra into it as a card fell out into his hand. There were two images on the card. On one half of the card stood a large, nine tailed fox with glowing red eyes and crimson fur. On the other half of the card, stood a crimson haired man. The man was tall, had deep red eyes, and his hair reached down to his back. He had a katana strapped to his side that looked to be made of bone, and he wore a red kimono with black hakama.
As Naruto flipped over the railing, he had to dodge an Oto ninja's body as it was knocked into the arena floor courtesy of Fu. Fu looked over and was surprised to see Naruto standing there. "Naruto-kun, what are you doing here?" Fu asked as the other leaf genin looked at the blond.
"Just evening out the playing field Fu-chan." Naruto said as he dropped the card to the ground. "You ready Kurama?" Naruto asked as the large fox.
"I just hope you know what you're doing kit." Replied the fox.
"I learned this while training with Ra and the others." Naruto replied as he bit his thumb before making hand seals ending with the ram hand sign. "Ritual summoning: Release of hatred." The card glowed a bright red for a few moments before red smoke started to rise from it. A few seconds later and the smoke cleared to show the man that was on the image of the card.
The man looked himself over for a moment before moving around a bit. "I can't believe that worked kit. You always amaze me in some way." The man said.
"I'm glad it worked Kurama. Now go after your brother while I pay a visit to that snake bastard." Naruto replied before Kurama nodded and hopped off after the sand siblings.
"How did you unseal Kurama?" Fu asked the blond.
"It's only a temporary thing Fu-chan. When we have more time I will show you how you can do that for Chomei as well, but right now we need to stop Orochimaru. You all work on getting the civilians to safety, I'm going to help jiji." Naruto replied as he took off running for the kage box.
As he ran, he swiped his still bloody thumb across the summoning tattoo on his arm. A moment later and Niji was flying in the air beside him. "Time already Naruto-kun?" Niji asked getting a nod from the blond as she landed around his neck.
Naruto made a set of hand signs as he felt Niji's chakra fuse with his. "Summoner art: partial fusion." In a puff of smoke, Naruto and Niji had combined their bodies. Naruto now had a pair of blue dragon wings, a blue scaled tail, and slitted eyes. "Now to help jiji and the others." Naruto thought as he continued on his way towards his grandfather and others.
As Naruto turned a corner and made it clear of the halls of the stadium, he found two girls and two Oto ninja. Naruto recognized who the females were from talking to his godfather. One of the Oto ninja had a hold of Shizune while the other one was moving towards her. The young white haired Mito was standing off to the side crying unable to do anything. Naruto immediately jumped into action and pulled two kunai from his pouch. He appeared behind the ninja holding Shizune and stuck the kunai in his skull. Before his partner even had time to react, Naruto disappeared in a shunshin and reappeared behind the other with his kunai sticking in his throat.
Naruto turned and walked to the two females as Shizune was healing herself of the cuts she received. "Shizune, are you and Mito ok?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, we're fine. Thank you for the help Naruto." Shizune replied looking to the blond who she had learned of from Jiraiya.
"Who is this nee-chan?" Mito asked standing behind Shizune.
"I'm your older brother Mito-chan. You'll have to ask your tou-san and have him explain more. I have to go help others now. See you around Mito-chan." Naruto said as he ruffled the young girl's hair before taking off through the air towards the kage box.

Kurama stood looking at his brother's container as he slowly lost his control to the raccoon. The red haired jinchuriki had been trying to kill Kurama for about twenty minutes now. Gaara had failed to do so and was even more angered by that fact. Every time Gaara and Shukaku attacked the kyuubi, Kurama would simply avoid the attack or knock it away and laugh at the anger it caused his brother. After not being able to land a decent hit on Kurama, Gaara finally gave in and used his playing opossum jutsu to allow Shukaku to take control. Kurama watched on without a care in the world as Shukaku grew to his full height.
"I'm out now you bastard and you are going to die." Shukaku yelled as he fired a few wind bullets at Kurama who simply jumped over them before he was surrounded by a red chakra.
As Kurama landed on the ground, his human form was replaced with his nine tailed fox form. "Hello little brother. You have never been able to beat me so what makes you think you will do so now?"
Shukaku smirked as he raised his paw as sand shot up from underneath Kurama and wrapped around him holding him in place. He then held up his other paw as a large disc made of sand appeared floating over his hand. "Sand slicer!" Shukaku yelled as through the disc as his oldest brother. Shukaku grinned as he watched the fox's front two legs get sliced off before his grin fell as the fox started laughing.
"Even after all these years and you still can't even hurt me." Kurama laughed as he flexed his muscles and broke the sand bindings. A few moments later and both of his front legs regrew themselves. "Fox tail inferno." Kurama said as his tails stood straight as a ball of fire appeared at the tip of each one before flying at and connecting with Shukaku. The attack pushed the raccoon back some and caused a little bit of damage.
"That won't be enough to stop me Kurama!" Shukaku yelled out in anger.
"I've been toying with you this whole time, but I'm getting bored so I think I will finish this and head back to Naruto." The fox replied before making a set of hand signs. "Fire style: demon fox inferno." Kurama breathed out a large stream of fire that took the form of a fox's head as it flew at Shukaku. The jutsu impacted with the tanuki and created a large explosion waking Gaara and causing Shukaku to return to the seal.
Kurama caught the falling boy before he set him on the ground before returning to his human form. Kurama started walking toward the red head but stopped when Kankuro and Temari appeared between them. "We will not let you hurt our brother." Temari said causing Kurama to lightly chuckle.
"Girl, if I wanted to hurt your brother, he would already be dead. I am Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune. My host is an Uzumaki seal master and can help with your brother's seal. Shukaku may be a bit insane, but even was never as bad as I saw him just now. Something is wrong with his seal and he needs help." Kurama explained.
"Why should we trust you?" Kankuro asked.
"Because your father is dead. Orochimaru killed your father and disguised himself as the Kazekage to get close to the hokage. Your father has probably been dead for weeks and your village was following the snake sannin's orders." Kurama said getting straight to the point.
"We will go back and speak to Naruto." Gaara said causing his siblings to face him. "If we were following someone's orders who wasn't our kage, then we need to fix this. I would also like him to look as my seal." Gaara said getting nods from his siblings.

The kazekage stood facing the hokage and two of his anbu. Hiruzen sighed and slightly shook his head as he started to speak. "To think that you would have fallen this far Orochimaru." Hiruzen said as he removed his kage robe to reveal his battle armor.
"So you knew it was me all along sensei." Orochimaru said as he removed the kage robes revealing his face.
"No, I only knew you would make an appearance sometime today. Jiraiya is the one who learned of your plans to invade." The hokage said before the two anbu removed their cloaks and masks revealing the remaining two sannin.
Orochimaru's widened slightly at seeing his former teammates. He quickly regained his composure and smirked. "Seems I am outnumbered, maybe I should even the playing field." Orochimaru said as he made hand signs. "Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation."
Orochimaru slammed his hands to the ground as seals appeared on the roof they were standing on. Wood coffins started to rise from the ground that had numbers marked on them. The first two coffins had the number one and two on it. A third coffin started to rise that had the number four but was stopped Hiruzen. The three ninja tensed as the lids started to fall off the coffins. When the lids were finally off, the three were shocked to see the first and second hokages.
"You will pay for disgracing the graves of our previous hokage." Hiruzen stated.

Naruto landed on the roof next to the purple barrier that Orochimaru's ninja had up. He closed his eyes as he focused his senses on the barrier looking for a weak spot to break through. As his senses spread out, one of the sound ninja caught his attention. Opening his eyes, he walked to one of the corners of the barrier and looked at the red haired female that was helping cast the jutsu. She wore a black hat with bandaged sides with a tan tunic, with black shorts and standard black shinobi sandals.
After a few minutes of Naruto looking at her, the girl spoke. "What the fuck are you looking at shithead?"
"What is your name? Your chakra feels similar to mine." Naruto replied.
"Not that it's any of your fucking business, my name is Tayuya Uzumaki. What hell does it matter to you Fucktard?" Tayuya asked.
Naruto's eyes widened for a moment before he pulled a tri-pronged kunai from his pouch. He walked forward as his right hand glowed blue as he touched the barrier right in front of her before turning his hand as a small hole appeared in the barrier shocking Tayuya. The kage level ninja inside the barrier watched the blond Uzumaki closely, especially the snake sannin since Naruto just reached through his barrier.
Naruto placed the kunai in front of her before the hole closed and Naruto felt the strain of using so much chakra. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, last of the royal line of Uzushio. I am rebuilding the hidden whirlpool village and if you ever want to join and leave Orochimaru, drop that in the ground. Karin and Kin, both who were previous ninja under Orochimaru, have already joined me." Naruto said just loud enough for his cousin to hear him before turning and leaving the girl to her own thoughts.
Naruto walked closer to where Orochimaru was standing before the snake started speaking. "What was that you did to my barrier Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru asked the blond.
"I guess you could call it a master key of sorts. It is an Uzumaki technique that requires a good amount of chakra to use but can be used to open any kind of barrier jutsu. Unfortunately I haven't mastered it enough to use it too many times so why don't you drop the barrier so I can come in there and kick your ass?" Naruto asked looking to the pale sannin.
"I'm afraid I can't do that Naruto-kun. The first and second hokages need to get reacquainted with sensei and I'm sure Hashirama would love to catch up with his granddaughter." Orochimaru replied causing Hashirama to finally take in his surroundings and look to Tsunade.
"Tsunade-chan, is that really you?" The first hokage asked.
"Hello jiji, it's good to see you again even if it isn't under the best circumstances." Tsunade said with a sad expression on her face. Jiraiya clenched his fist in anger at the way his wife looked because of his ex-teammate.
"How low have you fallen Orochimaru, that you would disturb the graves of our village's leaders for your own gain? I should have killed you all those years ago, but I let you go hoping you would change." Hiruzen said as he summoned Enma, who looked around before changing into the adamantine staff, which Hiruzen grabbed and rested on his shoulder. "Today, I will right that mistake and take you out of this world once and for all."
"Sorry jiji, Orochimaru will die by my hand for what he did to Hinata-chan, Karin-chan and her team, and Kin." Naruto said as he unsealed his katana from the seal on his wrist. He glanced at Jiraiya and gave a slight nod which the toad sage returned.
"Hime, when I attack, throw the kunai I gave you directly at Orochimaru." Jiraiya said as he started charging two rasengans in his palms as Orochimaru looked to his godson.
"How do you plan on stopping me Naruto-kun? You have no way of getting in the seal and with these two seals, the village will be destroyed by the first and second hokage." Orochimaru said as he pulled two kunai from his pouch that had seals attached to them.
Before the snake sannin could even take a step towards the revived kage, Jiraiya appeared above them and slammed the two rasengan into their heads launching them backwards. A tri-pronged kunai flew by Jiraiya and headed straight for Orochimaru's head. There was an orange flash of light and a yell of pain as Naruto appeared in front of the snake and sliced his arms off.
"Like I said Hebi-teme, your fight is with me." Naruto growled out as his wings spread out behind him and his rinnegan activated.
Jiraiya and Tsunade stepped next to the blond before Jiraiya spoke. "Naruto, let sensei help you. I know you are strong but that snake is a slippery bastard. Hime and I will handle the first and second and try to find a way to reseal them." Jiraiya said before he and Tsunade rushed the reforming two kage.
"Before we begin Naruto-kun, I must ask what this is you have going on with the wings and tail?" Orochimaru asked as he crawled out of his destroyed body unharmed.
"This is kinda like a version of sage mode more or less." Naruto replied with a grin.
"This is bad. I didn't plan on that brat being here and being this strong. It was going to be hard enough with that old monkey and now I have to deal with my old teammates plus Minato's boy. I need to get out of here and come back when I have a larger army." Orochimaru internally growled at having his plans at destroying Konoha ruined.
Before Orochimaru cold do anything, he noticed Naruto take to the sky and Hiruzen run through hand signs. "Fire style: fire dragon jutsu." The large fire dragon flew at Orochimaru, who quickly made a mud wall and blocked the attack. Naruto flew through the air and moved behind the snake sannin and made his own set of hand signs as he landed behind Orochimaru and slammed his hands to the ground.
"Water style: explosive bite of the water dragon!" Naruto yelled at a puddle of water appeared under Orochimaru. Water started shooting into the air, knocking Orochimaru up with them as they went. The water then formed into a large blue dragon with red eyes and slammed into the snake sannin sending him crashing into the ground. Naruto jumped back next to Hiruzen as they stood ready for Orochimaru.

Karin, Fu, Ino, and Hinata were running from the bunkers where the civilians were at during the invasion. Behind them were Ichigo and Haku who had joined them in making sure the civilians were unharmed. The group of six were currently headed to the village walls where large snake summons could be seen just outside the village along with Oto reinforcements. As the group turned a corner, Haku noticed a glint come from the top of one of the nearby buildings. Quickly looking up, she saw a group of Oto ninja with crossbows aimed down on them.
"Everyone look out!" Haku yelled.
The four females quickly moved out of the way as the Oto ninja released their arrows. Ichigo, who had looked back at Haku to see what was wrong, didn't see the arrows flying at his back. Haku pushed chakra into her legs as she rushed forward and knocked the orange haired boy to the ground as she yelled out in pain. Haku slumped over to her side as the Oto ninja reloaded their weapons as a few of them dropped to the ground in front of the others.
"Haku-chan, why?" Ichigo asked as he looked over the Yuki's body. She had three arrows sticking out of her, one in her left should blade, one in her back close to her spine, and one in the back of her thigh.
"I couldn't let you get hurt Ichigo-kun." Haku replied with a small smile.
"I was supposed to be protecting you, not the other way around." Ichigo said as he made a single shadow clone. The clone gently picked Haku up before rushing towards the hospital. "Continue on, I'll take care of these guys." Ichigo replied as a black and red chakra started surrounding his form before blocking him from sight. Once the chakra was gone, Ichigo now looked very different.
Ichigo now had long straight hair, reaching down to his waist, and a small hole in the middle of his chest, decorated with markings stretching from the hole across his chest and shoulders. He has retractable claws on his fingertips and toes, small, furry red tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck and one each on his wrists and ankles, and white skin. In this new form, he had mask covering his entire head, and it had four spike-shaped marks, two of them stopping by the forehead and the other two stretching past the eyes and teeth, going past his chin and joining with the marks on his chest. The mask features two long forward-pointing horns, with black strips extending from their center towards the tips.
"You will now face the true power of the Kurosaki clan's kekkei genkai." Ichigo spoke in a much more demonic sounding voice. "I will catch up later, go." Ichigo told the four remaining girls who took to the roofs and continued toward the village wall as screams of pain were heard behind them.

The four girls landed on the top of the wall and side stepped as a body was sent over the edge. Looking to where the body came from, they saw anbu neko quickly knock out two other ninja before looking at them. "What are you four doing here?" Neko asked.
"We have gotten all the civilians and those unable to fight to safety, and came to help out." Karin answered her.
"Unless you girls got something that can stop these snakes before they can damage the wall, then there isn't much you can do." Neko replied as she noticed the girls smiling. "What?"
"Karin-chan, you and Fu-chan help out with the snakes. Ino-chan and I will help out here with the ninja that make it up the wall." Hinata said getting nods from the other three.
Karin and Fu ran towards the edge of the wall and jumped over the edge as the two unsealed a card each from a seal on their wrist. The two then threw the cards towards the ground as they made a quick set of hand signs. "Summon: Insect Queen/Poseidra, the atlantean dragon!" Fu and Karin yelled respectively. In two large plumes of smoke, there were two more large summons staring down the large snakes.
The first was a large blue, yellow, and red insect with wings. The second was a large blue, scaled dragon with pieces of golden armor on its body. "What can we help you with Fu-sama, Karin-sama?" asked the insect.
"We need you to help defend the hidden leaf village and get rid of these snakes." Fu replied.
"Of course, it shall be done." Replied the dragon.
Back up on the top of the wall, Ino and Hinata had unsealed a card as well before making hand signs. "Summon: Fortune Lady Elemental Queen/Serene Psychic Witch." Hinata and Ino said respectively as their summons appeared before them. (Unsure how to really describe these two so you will just have to look them up, sorry.)
"How may we be of assistance Hinata-sama, Ino-sama?" asked the elemental queen.
"We need help holding off the forces of Oto and Suna." Hinata replied as her and Ino turned to help the other Konoha nin.
"It shall be done." Replied the psychic witch.

"This is getting us nowhere damn it. We need to find a way to seal them." Tsunade said as she landed next to her husband. The two had been fighting the revived kage for some time now and were making no progress on slowing the two down.
"If only we had someone who could use the Uzumaki chains like Mito-chan could. Maybe then they could seal the two of us." Hashirama said as he launched another attack at the two causing them to jump back.
"Jiraiya-kun, can Naruto use the chains?" Tsunade asked.
"Yeah, he can use them but I don't know if he can use them for sealing or not. I know he has practiced with using them for battle but that's it." Jiraiya replied as he glanced towards his godson and sensei.
Naruto stood with Hiruzen beside him as they stared at Orochimaru. The three had been fighting for close to an hour now and Orochimaru was looking pretty beat up thanks to the combined efforts of Naruto and Hiruzen. Orochimaru was backed up against the barrier with nowhere else to go. Unfortunately for the Konoha ninja and hokage, that's exactly what Orochimaru wanted.
He threw down a smoke bomb shielding him from view as the barrier was released. The sound four grabbed their master and jumped away with him as relayed a final message. "Watch as your precious village is destroyed by two of its greatest ninja." With that, the sound ninja and the snake sannin disappeared from view.
Naruto started to chase after but was stopped by his grandfather. "Let them go Naruto-kun, we need to stop the first and second. Orochimaru will get what is coming to him in time." Hiruzen said getting a nod from the blond.
The two rushed to Tsunade and Jiraiya's side as the four stood before the first two hokage. Hashirama looked to the blond before speaking. "Are you an Uzumaki?" he asked having heard the sannin's conversation.
"Yeah, I am an Uzumaki. Why?" Naruto asked.
"Do you know any sealing techniques with your chakra chains?" asked the first hokage. Naruto understood what Hashirama was asking and started gathering his chakra.
"Jiraiya, slow them down for a moment." Naruto said and Jiraiya used his swamp of the underworld to stop their movements giving Naruto time to cast his jutsu. Two chains shot from Naruto's back and began to wrap their way around the bodies of the first and second hokages. Naruto moved the chains a bit slower giving Tsunade time to say goodbye to her grandfather and for the three kage to exchange parting words before the chains wrapped around the dead kage's heads.
"Adamantine chains: Seal." Naruto said as the chains glowed orange for a few moments before they stopped and laid on the ground. The fusion between Niji and Naruto wore off and Naruto fell unconscious from using too much chakra.
I know this was rushed and for that I am sorry but I wanted to get this out before my surgery Tuesday. The next time I update will hopefully be soon depending on how my recovery goes. The next story that I will update is Jinchuriki to four and then I will return to this one. The next chapter will introduce the Akatsuki and we will see what will happen with Naruto's heritage revealed.
Anyways I hope you enjoy and once again I am sorry for the rushed chapter but I hope you all still enjoy. Leave a review and let me know what you think. Peace.
