Chapter 25, alright alright alright, I didn't watch a McConeghy movie this time I'm just rooting for him to win for best actor, him or Decaprio anyway. Guess who I'm rooting for for best animated picture? Enough talk of the Oscars, it doesn't have any relevance to this anyway. Also I finally know what story I'm doing next, but you'll have to wait to see what it is. Maybe I'll tell you if I get enough reviews...hint hint, please review. Thanks for reading and please review...I'm starting to sound repetitive aren't I.

All of the Kages had arrived except for Tsunade, which worried Naruto and Mei slightly. "Sweetie, do you think Tsunade's ok? She not usually late like this."

Naruto looked at the empty seat at the table, "I'm sure she's ok. Baachan isn't the type to go down easy, especially with Kakashi-sensei with her."

Just as Mei was about to respond Tsunade and Kakashi entered, looking a little torn up, "Sorry we're late everyone, thanks for waiting."

Naruto jumped up and ran over to her, "Holy crap, what happened?"

Tsunade went to her chair and took a deep breath, "We were attacked by Sasuke, he was after Danzo."

Naruto got nervous at the mention of his old friends name, "He was after Danzo? What happened to him?"

Kakashi sighed, "He killed him, to be honest we didn't really try to save him. Any injuries you see on us is from damage we took from afar. We've been trying to get Danzo for treason for a while now, and if Sasuke wanted to take that old war hawk out we've got no issue."

The other Kages nodded, Danzo was well known for his less than honorable tactics, he wasn't even liked in his own village. When it came to talks of peace, Danzo really wasn't the kind of person you wanted with you.

Naruto couldn't help but feel a little satisfied, "I know I shouldn't feel like it, but I'm kinda glad he's gone. The man was a monster."

A, the Raikage, stood up, "Well that's all well and good, but I think it's time we get this meeting started."

The all sat down and calmed themselves. It wasn't often the five Kages all gathered together, but when they did, it was big. This meeting was going to change the world, they all prayed it would change it for the better.

Sasuke stood at the meeting ground that Madara had instruct him to go to. Several toads were croaking around him, they loved the pond Sasuke was next to.

Madara finally showed up, "Danzo is dead, excellent. He's been a thorn in the Akatsuki's side for too long. Now we can move on to other matters. Speaking of which, you said you could perform all of Orochimaru's jutsu's, do you really mean ALL of them?"

Sasuke wasn't sure he liked where this was headed, "Yeah, every last one. I made sure to learn them all before I killed him and absorbed his powers. Why do you ask?"

Madara gave him a half hearted response, "I'm just having Kisame retrieve something for me, but it wouldn't be of much use if you couldn't perform a certain jutsu."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, what the hell was he talking about, "and that would be?"

Madara waved him off, "Don't ask so many questions, just know that he's swinging by an old base of mine in the Mist. I'll talk to you soon."

Madara used his teleportation jutsu and left Sasuke standing in the alone by the pond. He sighed, this really something he should be telling Naruto about. Just as he was thinking that one of the toads by the pond hopped over and nudged his hand. Sasuke was confused until he noticed the symbol for message on the toads back. He discreetly wrote a note and set it by the toad, who happily grabbed it and hopped out of sight and poofed away. Sasuke was laughing slightly in his head, Naruto was always one step ahead of him.

The summit wasn't going perfectly. Most of the nations were able to cooperate with one another, the Rock was the only one who was refusing for an all out alliance. "The only way I would be willing to join this is if someone capable was chosen as the leader of the alliance. We would need to have one person in charge of it, one person who could override everyone if need be." Onoki told them.

Mei knew where this was headed, "And by one person I'm assuming you mean you? Honestly Onoki, even when the worlds at risk you still want to make sure the Rock stays in control."

Onoki had anticipated this, it was time to call in his trump card, "I have the most experience out of any of you, I would be the best choice. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Uzumaki?" He stretched out the last word.

Naruto didn't looked scared, quite the opposite actually, "Namikaze."

Onoki couldn't believe it, "What did you just say?"

Naruto looked him in the eye, "My last name is Namikaze. I'm not afraid of you, you little floating dwarf. You think I'm going to give you control of the alliance just because you know my real last name? My father enemies are already my enemies at this point. All of your experience is in the old world that's lost in shadow. That world is gone now, we need someone new, and I'm not going to risk my families chances if you aren't the right person to lead."

Mei looked up at her husband, "Looks like we can use are real last name now. Mei Namikaze, sounds good. Asuma Namikaze and Mito Namikaze sounds nice too."

Tsunade was cuddling Asuma at the moment and looked down at him, "Do you like your last name, oh I think you do."

A was extremely confused, "Wait, the Yellow Flash not only had a son but has grandchildren?"

Gaara looked hard at Onoki, "How on earth will this alliance ever work if we're trying to manipulate each other?"

Onoki didn't show any regret, "I did what I needed to do. Someone capable needs to lead this alliance, who would you suggest whippersnapper."

Gaara looked at his old friend, "I nominate Naruto Namikaze to be the leader of the Shinobi Alliance."

Onoki screamed, "He can't be the leader, he's not even a Kage."

Tsunade cut in, "We never said it had to be a Kage, I second the motion."

Mei stood up, "I, of course, third the motion. He is my husband after all."

A large black man, who had be standing behind A and being slight to this point, spoke up, "Yo, the Nine-tails ain't gonna fail! The cloud fourths the motion ya fool!"

A looked ready to smack the man, "Bee, what are doing? Why do you just trust this kid out of the blue?!"

Bee grinned, "Eight-O trusts him so I do to! Fool, ya fool!"

A went wide eyed, "The eight tails trust him?"

Bee nodded, "Oh yeah, says he had a little chat with the big old fox! Says that this kid rocks!"

A had a tick mark on his forehead, "Enough rapping! Bee can I trust this kid or not?"

Bee turned serious and nodded, "He's the best person to lead us. Eight-O says he's got the same drive in him that his father does. He'll stop at nothing to make sure those he cares about are safe."

A thought about it for a second, "If you really do have the same fire inside you that your father did, then I do indeed fourth the motion."

Gaara looked at the remaining Kage, "Well Onoki, everyone else trusts him. Are you with us or not?"

Onoki ground his teeth for a second then closed his eyes, "I...pass the motion."

Naruto couldn't believe it, "You want me to lead the alliance?"

Tsunade smiled, "We'll need some kind of title for him."

Gaara thought for a second, "Shinkage, Shinobi Shadow for the Shinobi alliance."

Tsunade agreed, "Alright, well make up some robes for him, any preference as to color."

Naruto gave his wife the puppy dog eyes, she quickly gave in, "Alright, go ahead."

Naruto jumped in excitement, "Orange!"

Just as they were about to continue, a new voice entered the room, "Shinkage, interesting. Too bad it won't matter what you call him," Madara began."

Naruto saw Madara and growled, "So you're coming in person for once, not just sending one of your pawns to attacks while you stay safe."

Madara looked at the soon to be Shikage, "What can I say, the Five Kages actually working together, that's something even I had to see. Besides, I do come out when it's worth my time, or have you forgotten the little meeting we had with Hidan and Kakuzu?"

Naruto was confused, but soon caught on, "You son of a bitch! It was you who put that genjutsu on in that fight, it's your fault Asuma-sensei's dead!"

Madara chuckled, "You were the one to weak to protect him, and I don't tolerate the weak."

Naruto was getting very tired of his voice, "Is that why you're putting everyone in an endless dream, so that you don't have to deal with the weak?"

Madara was a bit surprised that Naruto knew his plan, "So Pain told you my plan, no matter. This world is cursed, there'll never be peace in this world if I don't put it in the infinite Tsukuyomi. I'm trying to make sure the weak have a don't have to worry about pain anymore"

Naruto couldn't believe this nutjobs logic, "It will all be a lie. What's the point of endless happiness if you've never felt pain. What makes the good time so go is you know what the bad times feel like. How can you know what love is if you've never felt pain? You're world is just one big lie, it means nothing."

Madara shook his head, "I don't think I even need to offer you the chance to end this peacefully. I'm declaring this the beginning of the fourth great shinobi war. Just remember I was willing to give you a chance to end this without any more pain."

Madara teleported away leaving the Five, now Six, Kages alone in the council room. Naruto looked around, "Well, no point in just standing here, everyone head back to your respective villages and tell them what happened. I'm giving you two weeks to organize your armies, separate them in strategist, combat ninjas, so on and so forth. When you're done we'll meet here to discuss strategy, bring your best strategist with you if you can."

They all nodded, it wasn't a lot of time to organize and army but they didn't exactly have much of a choice, they had to be ready. Naruto was about to leave when a small toad poofed on the table and jumped on his shoulder. He handed Naruto a letter and poofed away again. Naruto read the note and turned to his wife, "We'd better get back to the Mist. Madara sent Kisame after something and I'm not about to let him get any kind of advantage."

Mei motioned to the kids, "but we've got them with us."

Naruto scratched his head, "Good point, when we there you hang back and I'll take him head on."

Mei didn't like the sound of that, but to be fair he beat Pain all on his own. They headed out of the building while Naruto prepared a battle plan in his head.
