Riley's POV

"To be Hokage, that's still your dream Naruto, isn't it?"

I opened my eyes when I heard Tsunade speak those words. My body hurt like a bitch from all the damn fighting, but I was a dragon shifter and I didn't go down so easily. My wrist must have healed itself while I was unconscious because I sensed the bones that Kabuto broke were back together. Tsunade was holding Naruto's hands and hers glowed green as she tended to the blonde's injuries.

I stood up and walked over to them and got to my knees next to Naruto. He was beat up pretty badly but the will to be Hokage, somehow managed to keep him alive.

"One more time, just one more time, for the last time I want those words to be true"

The Sannin then took off her necklace and she carefully placed it around Naruto's neck and then laid his head back down. Tsunade then looked up to me.

"I was worried you wouldn't wake up"

"Don't worry about me" I reassured her. "Like Naruto I'm strong, plus my healing ability will take care of any injures I receive"

Tsunade flashed me a smile and I smirked before I saw Orochimaru coming our way.

"F**k!" I exclaimed and Tsunade saw Snake Boy coming.

Jiraya was thrown into the ground thanks to Orochimaru using his tongue. Before I could react Tsunade got in front of me and the next thing that happened blood scattered the air. Orochimaru had stabbed her and some of her own blood splattered my face and shirt. Tsunade coughed and Orochimaru pulled himself away from Tsunade and his tongue receded.

"Tsunade you are the one person I wouldn't want to kill, listen to me if that brat is allowed to live, it will mean more trouble you and your friends come ever imagine, also you stand in front of the dragon shifter I wish to take with me, so stay out of my way"

I snarled at Orochimaru's comment and he flashed me an evil smirk before eying Tsunade again.

"No you listen to me" Tsunade replied. "If I do nothing else, I will protect this boy and Riley"

"And how do you plan to do that? Look at you, your body is shaking like a leaf in the wind, besides why would you? One of the Sannin risk your life to save a lowly Genin?"

"Shut it Snake Boy" I hissed having enough and I walked up to Tsunade's side.

"By saving him, I'm saving my home, the village Hidden in the Leaves"

"You really think your protecting the village?" Orochimaru asked.

"Damn right she is" I begun. "Fate chose her as the Fifth Hokage"

I eyed Tsunade and I flashed her a smirk before I returned my attention to Orochimaru. "Naruto was also chosen to be Hokage someday"

Orochimaru laughed darkly.

"What nonsense even if it's true what of it? Who cares about the Hokage! Only a fool would want that job"

Having enough I swung my fist forward and it collided with Orochimaru's cheek. He gasped not expecting me to punch him like I just did. He spat put blood and I smirked.

"That was for biting me and causing me to almost to go into killing frenzies and hurt those I love"

I then slapped Snake Boy hard across the face and a red handprint looked back at me from his cheek.

"That was for Sasuke" I sneered.

Orochimaru chuckled before looking to me.

"Now I definitely intend to have you as my mate"

"Not going to happen" Tsunade added as she suddenly appeared at my side. "From now on I'm gambling everything too, I'm putting my life on the line"

Tsunade eyed me and I nodded before leaping backwards until I got in front of Naruto. Sunfyre was out my reach and I drew two kunai out instead.

"Well if your willing to throw your life away for one little brat, I'm happy to accommodate you!"

His tongue came back out and so did his knife that he hidden in his mouth. He stabbed Tsunade again hard enough that she was thrown onto her back away from me and Naruto. Orochimaru then approached but Tsunade was able to get in front of me and Naruto once more.

She ignored the blood that scattered the air.

"You really are determined aren't you? I'm impressed" Orochimaru sneered.

"Didn't I make it clear enough you fool, I meant what I said, I will die before I let you touch them!"

"Your half dead already!" Snake Boy then kicked her aside.

"Tsunade! Shut him up and make him eat his own damn words!" I shouted. "Your just as strong as he is and you can easily kick his ass!"

As soon as I some those words she gave Orochimaru a much deserved kick. He went flying and crashed landed onto his back.

"Thank you Riley" Tsunade said getting to her feet. "I also have been chosen as the Fifth Hokage of the Leaf Village"

Her mark on her face came to life and my eyes widened in fascination. Orochimaru got back to his feet and taunted her. Tsunade ignored him and made the hand sign so her wounds could heal themselves. Shizune protested but Tsunade had already made up her mind.

Tsunade's body glowed red and her wounds started healing. But this jutsu had a price and if you used it after the limit, you shorten your life. Tsunade then used her blood and Kabuto shouted for Orochimaru. Snake Boy returned to Kabuto's side and the medical ninja lifted up his shirt sleeve. Jiraya bit his thumb and did the hand signs for the Summoning Jutsu. Wondering if it was possible I called to my element and just as the three Sannin summoned their beasts, did a geyser of ice shoot out of the ground and I quickly headed towards it. The ice shattered and Anahita appeared flapping her wings in the air and I landed on top of her head just as smoke surrounded us.

As the smoke cleared Manda, Gamabunta, and Katsuyu became visible with their respective Sannin on top of their heads.

"I was wondering when you would summon me" the water phoenix greeted.

"No time like the present" I joked as I stroked her feathers.

Manda first eyed Gamakichi, Tonton, and Gamatatsu. They took off running and the purple snake eyed Anahita second. Anahita gave an annoyed shriek which made the wind blow pretty hard. I chuckled at her eagerness to fight.

"Manda and Orochimaru, Katsuyu and Tsunade, Anahita I had no idea you've gained a new master" Gamabunta said.

"Long time no see you old frog" Anahita replied.

Gamabunta chucked before continuing.

"The dear old faces reunited once again" the toad summon then took a puff of his pipe. "Did you bring a hankie Jiraya? I think I'm gonna cry"

"You old fool I didn't summon you here after all this time just to listen to your stupid jokes" Jiraya began. "This rivalry has gone on long enough it's time to end it, today I'm putting Orochimaru out of our misery once and for all"

Orochimaru growled in annoyance and Manda decided to speak next.

"Well Orochimaru why have you dragged me here? You know I don't like being summoned"

My eyes went wide because Manda had the same voice as Myotismon from Digimon. But then again Richard Epcar did voice them both.

"Anahita I want you to stay and help Jiraya and Tsunade out, this isn't my fight"

"As you wish" the water phoenix answered just as I jumped off of her head. I then hurried over to where Gamakichi, Tonton, and Gamatatsu were hiding.

"Mind if I keep y'all company?"

"Sure thing!" Gamakichi answered. "Your that kids friend right?"

"Yep and also Anahita's master" I added before joining them. Gamakichi hopped onto my shoulder and I stroked his skin

"You and your brother are pretty cute"

"Awwww thanks!" Gamakichi said slightly embarrassed. Tonton oinked in fear and I reassured her by letting her head and I did the same with Gamatatsu. My eyes then returned to the summoned animals ahead. I saw Shizune pull Naruto off of one of Katsuyu's clones.

After being taunted by Manda, Gamabunta undid his sword from its sheath. The wind blew for a few seconds before Katsuyu started the fight. She hissed out her dangerous acidic slime and Manda quickly got out of the way. He slithered around a boulder and coiled his body around Katsuyu tightly. The huge snake opened its mouth and Anahita quickly landed behind Manda's head at the same time Bunta used his sword. Despite her talons pinning part of his body down the snake still could lift his head up and move around.

Manda managed to sink his fangs into the sword and Anahita used all of her weight and strength to keep Manda from releasing his grasp on the sword. The snake laughed as he squeezed Katsuyu tightly. Tsunade then jumped off of the slug, and soon Katsuyu exploded into many smaller forms of herself. They slithered way and they started to regroup into Katsuyu's main form.

Manda used his tail to first hit Anahita and the water phoenix took flight before she got hit. Then the purple snake tried to hit Bunta and Chief Toad did a back flip. Once back on his feet Manda spat out the sword which Bunta jumped out of the way just time to avoid. The blade landed in the ground before Katsuyu and Tsunade jumped back onto the slug's head.

Manda coiled ready to strike and Jiraya did hand signs as Bunta gathered oil. His chest bloated before he hissed out the oil at the same time Jiraya unleashed his flames. Both the oil and flames went straight for Manda and I winced as the fire claimed him. But the flames didn't kill Manda since the snake decided to shed his skin at the last moment.

The ground shook beneath Bunta and after Jiraya warned him, Manda poked his tail out which Chief Toad grabbed. Manda then shot out of the ground with his massive jaws open. From above Anahita quickly used her talons to pierce the purple snake's mouth shut with Bunta's sword. Tsunade jumped from her head and landed on top of the sword hilt. Bunta jumped to safety while Kabuto and Orochimaru did the same.

Snake Boy then shot his tongue out and wrapped it around Tsunade's neck. She struggled for a few second before she used her brute strength to undo the tongue. She then pulled Orochimaru towards her using his tongue and she slammed her fist hard into his face.

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" I exclaimed. "Kick his ass Tsunade!"

She then did another tongue pull and Orochimaru went flying in the air and Tsunade jumped up so she was in front of him. She started to punch the hell out of him which was satisfying to see. She then kicked him hard sending him downwards. She landed back on the sword hilt and grabbed his tongue once more.

Pulling him by his tongue once more she made a punch for him but missed. She froze and panted heavily as did Snake Boy. Tsunade then pulled Orochimaru upwards and kicked him hard in the gut. She then was in the air again and she went into another punching frenzy.

"Damn that has to hurt" I said.

"I'm sure it does" Gamakichi agreed.

After giving Orochimaru another hard punch he went flying downwards and he was quick to high tail it. Tsunade came running hard behind him and she got in front of him again. She continued punching and kicking him, when he was falling backwards again he wrapped his tongue around her waist and his sword emerged. Tsunsde used her feet to stop him and after she was freed she resumed beating him up. It was after she gave him a kick did she look to me.

Trusting her I stood up and I approached Snake Boy. My hand surrounded itself with water and soon encased it with ice. Orochimaru stood up as I came to him.

"Take this asshole!" I shouted before throwing my fist forward and my icy fist hit Snake Boy hard enough to send him flying. He crashed against the sword hilt and landed on top on Manda.

I smirked in satisfaction as Tsunade came to my side.

"Nice work"

"Thanks for letting me do that" I replied as the ice from my hand began to melt. Manda threatened Orochimaru and Kabuto before disappearing into a cloud of smoke. Anahita landed next to me and I collapsed against her feet. Tsunade went to her knees as the smoke cleared away. Orochimaru weakly stood up and I growled when I saw his face was peeling away.

"Tsunade so you refuse to heal my arms do you? Very well then, I don't need you there is one other way, and I will destroy the Leaf Village, depend on it"

Orochimaru then looked to me.

"Mark my words Riley you will become my mate, even if I have to kill those in my way"

"F**k off Snake Boy and take the high road"

"I hope that we all meet again very soon, when I once more walk among you"

He chuckled darkly before continuing.

"Until then my dear old friends, when I return with the elixir of life, I'll show you what it means to be truly immortal"

Orochimaru then disappeared into the ground and Kabuto added.

"We'll meet again"

He then made hand signs before disappearing within a cloud of smoke.
