Naruto readied his kunai and stood in front of Tsunade. "How dare you show your face here again!"
Danzo looked at Naruto for a moment. "Ah the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. I suppose you hold the same weak spirit as your mother and father."
Naruto grit his teeth but refused to get pulled into the mind games. "I don't want to hear it Danzo!" Naruto shouted and threw his kunai at the older man.
In the blink of an eye Naruto was in front of Danzo but this was different, when did he remove the bandages from his eye? Danzo opened his eye and a Sharingan appeared, Naruto froze in panic just long enough for Danzo to stab Naruto in the stomach with a long branch of wood.
Naruto collapsed on the ground holding the branch as blood continued to pool around him.
Danzo looked down at the boy and ahead at Tsunade. "Now that I have incapacitated your secret weapon I suppose it's just you and me now." Danzo said unwrapping his arm. The locks around him fell with a deafening thud and he extended out his arm.
Tsunade was shocked when she saw the pale arm, but the scary part was that eyes seemed to open all along the arm and they all had the Sharingan. "How did you?" She asked disgusted at what she was seeing.
"This is the result of the Uchiha Massacre and years of experimentation on the cells of Hashirama Senju." He said readying himself for combat. "Now Fifth Hokage, prove that you are deserving of that title!"
Tsunade readied herself in her own stance and in a moment Danzo had cleared the space between them cracking the ground he had been standing on. He slammed his fist into Tsunade's stomach and sent her flying into another building.
Danzo regained his footing from the heavy punch. He looked ahead to where he knew Tsunade was and he saw her hands reach out first to pull herself up. Once she was on her feet he noticed that her strength of a hundred seal was active and healing her damaged body.

Rin burst into the hospital holding a crying Kakashi in her arms and was followed by the Uchiha brothers. She found the children's ward, "Here take him." Rin said handing the child to the attendant on duty.
"At once Lady Uchiha." The woman said with a curt bow.
Rin turned her attention to the two Uchiha that had been following her, Itachi's face seemed as bored as it always was but Sasuke seemed out of breath and exhausted. "Itachi you stay here you are in no condition to fight in your condition. Sasuke are you alright?"
Before Sasuke could respond Itachi spoke first. "Do not worry about me Lady Uchiha, I am here and I will do anything I can to protect this village."
Hearing his brother's words Sasuke nodded to Rin. "Same goes for me."
Rin nodded at the two. "Alright we need to figure out some sort of strategy because right now it just seems like a mad rush."
XXXX
Tsunade was having a hard time maintaining her footing her seal was losing power faster than it normally did. She dropped to her knee in front of Danzo. "Well it seems the Senju bitch is finally in her place." Danzo said to the woman panting for breath.
Tsunade spit out the blood in her mouth. "Kiss my ass you sick piece of shit."
Danzo kicked her in the chin knocking her back. "That is enough out of you Lady Hokage. In fact I think that is all I care to hear from you anymore." He grew a wooden branch out of his arm, "Now before you die, I want you to tell me where you've hidden the body of the Rinnegan user."
Tsunade looked up at him again, she was positive that no matter what she said he was going to kill her so she saw no point in conceding; not that she would've anyway. "Go to hell!" Was the last thing she said before Danzo stabbed her with the root just like he had Naruto.
"You always were to brash for your own good." Danzo said to the now bleeding unconscious woman.
"So that is what happened to all the bodies that night." Came a deep voice behind Danzo. He glared at the man now in front of him. He stood wearing purple robes that were tied by a white belt. The collar continued up until it reached a white mask with symmetrical lines rounding around it until they met where three tomoe sat like the Sharingan while two of them were eye holes.
Danzo readied himself for another fight. "And just who are you?"
The masked man grabbed the battle fan that was on his back and held it ready to battle. "I am the ghost of all the Uchiha you killed that night." He pointed the fan out like a sword at Danzo. "And I plan to take them all back from you."
Danzo readied himself for more combat he didn't know what he was facing so he readied himself for anything. He recognized that fan as the Gunbai that had been used by Madara himself during the warring states period and again when he fought Hashirama. "Brining ancient weapons out isn't going to scare me."
"You're right." The masked man said, "Just bringing them out isn't enough to scare you, but what if I showed you what it could do?" Without another word, he swung the fan out and the winds that rushed at Danzo were so strong that the stones in the ground were ripped out and flung away.
Danzo covered his eyes from the sheer power of the wind. When he opened them again he saw the masked man had already moved in front of him and kicked him away. The masked man disappeared into nothingness after landing the kick.
XXXX
Rin followed by Sasuke and Itachi fought their way farther into the village heading to the Hokage tower which was in the center of the village. Rin stopped when she saw the back of someone wearing the Uchiha crest. "Obito!" She yelled out running to her husband who was kneeling on the ground out of breath.
Sasuke looked around and the amount of bodies surrounding them was scary, he had no idea this is the ability that Obito possessed.
"Hey babe, glad to see you're ok." He said in between breaths, "So dinner and a movie tonight?" He asked before laughing.
Rin helped him up seeing no injuries on him just that he was exhausted. "What's going on?"
"It's Danzo." He said, "He was fighting Lady Tsunade and now he's fighting someone in a mask."
Itachi looked out into the distance, "Their fight is taking place in that direction." Without another word the group all ran in that direction.
XXXX
Naruto was trying to pick himself back up, he was falling in and out of consciousness. When he looked again he was in the mindscape. And he was looking up at Kurama. "Well I guess after today you get to be free again." Naruto said chuckling to the fox.
"As much as I would appreciate my freedom, I don't want to see you dead." Kurama said sitting in the cage. "I'm going to give you more of my chakra so you can heal yourself; you are going to have to keep yourself in check. If you lose control in the village then it will only end badly."
Naruto nodded and he felt the chakra from Kurama surround him as he opened his eyes back on the outside world. He grabbed the root in his stomach and with a grunt pulled it out. He noticed that the thing had gone all the way through his stomach, if it didn't hurt so much he would laugh about how Sakura would've scolded him for charging into a fight so heavy like that. He felt himself black out and his head hit the ground and then nothing.
XXXX
Danzo was quickly losing his temper fighting this masked man, nothing he could do seemed to stick, if he engaged him with taijutsu the man was untouchable as he weaved his way through every attack, if he attempted to use ninjutsu the Gunbai was able to redirect the attack away.
"I had hoped the great Danzo Shimura would've posed a greater challenge. I suppose choosing the Third Hokage instead of you was the best decision." The masked man said simply.
Danzo charged forward with every ounce of his strength and lunged at the mask but missed and realized that he had been impaled by a kunai. Danzo spit up blood that was quickly filling his mouth as he landed on the ground.
The masked man stood over him and watched the old man wretch up the blood. "The Uchiha will have blood." Before anything else could be done Danzo faded away into nothingness. The masked man looked around before he heard a voice behind him.
"You Uchiha still don't comprehend the power of your eyes." Danzo said standing behind the man.
"Izanagi. I had never actually expected to see it in my life time." He said readying himself to continue fighting.
XXXX
Rin and the three Uchiha's finally pushed through to the park where the battle was happening. They saw the masked man standing opposite Danzo and a few yards away from them Tsunade was laying on the ground. Rin charged forward to pull her master out of the way of the battle. She saw that the seal on her forehead had worn off and Tsunade was not self-healing anymore. She activated her own seal that spread across her body and then onto Tsunade's.
The three Uchiha stood next to the masked man against Danzo. "Today we kill you for what you've done to our family." Sasuke said readying his blade and Sharingan the others all readied themselves for this fight.
"So this is what it all comes down to then. Me and my infinite power against all of you. The two traitors, the fool who doesn't know when to quit and a dead man." He spat out every word.
"I won't let this go on anymore." Itachi said walking in front of the others. "I was once a ninja of the Village Hidden in the Leaves and if I must I shall die as one!" He shouted as his mangekyo took shape and his eyes began to bleed.
Sasuke stood on in shock as a red chakra surrounded Itachi, it wasn't the same kind that would surround Naruto no this one seemed to be a part of Itachi. "Itachi stop it!" Sasuke screamed out.
"I am sorry little brother." He said turning to Sasuke one last time before facing Danzo again. "Now face the power of my Susanoo!" The red chakra took shape and grew a skeleton followed by a muscle structure. And lastly a shroud came around the body covering everything but the eyes.
Watching in shock Sasuke witnessed the greatest feet of strength he had ever laid eyes on at the Susanoo slammed its fist down onto Danzo. They all heard the cracking of the bones but when the Susanoo's hands had moved there was no sign of him.
Itachi started to cough up blood and fell to the ground as the Susanoo faded away from him. Sasuke ran up and held his body. "This time Sasuke, you have to show me that you are better." Itachi reached his hand out and touched Sasuke on the forehead with his index and middle fingers.
"Itachi!" Sasuke screamed out as the curse mark on his shoulder flared and took over his entire body.
Obito was about to step forward when the masked man held him back. "This needs to happen." Was all he said, with a glare Obito submitted.
Danzo reappeared a few feet away from the fallen Itachi. "Well it seems that the prodigy of the Uchiha was just as easy to kill as the Kyuubi."
Sasuke's eyes snapped forward and he stared at Danzo, "What did you just say?"
Danzo seeing that he struck a chord and wanting to strike more spoke again. "Yes he died trying to be a hero just like Itachi did. It's a shame really, I was hoping they both would've put up more of a fight."
Sasuke screamed and grabbed his face as one of his eyes shifted to a sickly yellow color, the shocking part was the other one changed from the usual Sharingan shape to now looking like a flower with six petals all spread out. "Die!" Sasuke screamed as Danzo was consumed by black flames.
Danzo again faded out of reality and back in a few feet away unharmed. "I cannot be killed Uchiha." He said proudly.
Sasuke began to scream in pain and grasp his shoulder as a gigantic white mass shot out of it.
Obito stared at the gigantic eight headed white snake move around the battlefield. While he was distracted Danzo charged and slammed a piece of wood through Obito's chest and his fist into the masked man's face.
Rin felt her world fall apart around her she threw the last kunai she had been holding. It wasn't until after she threw it she saw Obito poof out of existence like a shadow clone.
Danzo was about to react and catch the kunai but it stopped a few inches before he got the chance, what he saw in front of him left him baffled and shocked.
A man surrounded by a golden stream of chakra with marking on his collar that was raised up. "That's enough." The golden man said before slamming a black orb into Danzo's stomach.
Rin watched slack jawed, "Sensei?" She asked seeing the man in a cloak she was sure it had to be Minato, no one else moved that fast or had that much power.
The massive snake turned its attention to the golden man, one of its mouths opened and a naked Orochimaru was pushed out of it. "Ah so I see you have finally gained control of your power now."
The masked man tossed the bits of mask still attached to him to the side. Rin gasped when she saw it was Obito the whole time.
The golden man turned to Obito. "Big brother Obito, Danzo isn't finished yet I can still sense him. I need you and Sasuke to handle him while I handle the snake bastard."
Obito nodded, "You got it Naruto!" Obito ran over to pick Sasuke up to his feet. "Can you still fight?"
Sasuke stood on his own and looked at Obito, the blood was still falling out of his eyes. "I'm going to make Danzo scream in agony!"
Obito nodded taking that as a yes. "Well then by all means try." Danzo said standing a few feet away.
XXXX
Naruto bent his legs and launched up and in one motion took off one of the snake's heads. "Ah so Naruto you seem to finally be ready to stop playing ninja and start being one." Orochimaru hissed at the boy.
Naruto landed on the ground and his cloak flourished behind him as he landed. "No Orochimaru this is the final day you oppose us!" In a massive blast of chakra Naruto became surrounded by a full-bodied shape of Kurama made of chakra.
"We won't have much time in this form Naruto." Kurama said to the boy who simply nodded.
XXXX
Obito readied himself for this fight he held the Gunbai tightly in his hand but Sasuke charged forward first. Danzo slashed his arm across and a visible form of wind chakra sailed to Sasuke who slid underneath it on his knees. Obito deflected the blast while Sasuke bounced back to his feet driving his sword into Danzo. "Just give up!"
Danzo faded and reappeared starting to look winded. "Please boy, enough of your simple attempts to kill me." He charged at Obito ready to stab at him with wood but he fell through Obito who stood and watched him with his mangekyo active.
"What?" He screamed in fear. "I thought you were only moving quickly that was the intel I had arranged!" He screamed out.
Obito smiled, "You tried using Shisui's eye on Tsunade to gather intel on my abilities and that's why she asked Sakura to report on my abilities." Obito said with a smirk on his face. "Guess you choose the wrong person. My team is my family." Obito said walking up to the man. "And my family is loyal." He grabbed hold of Danzo and he started to fade into Kamui.
"I will not accept this!" Danzo shouted ripping his shirt open. "Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!" He shouted.
Obito immediately dropped him and charged forward grabbing Sasuke and then turning on his heel he landed on top of Rin and Tsunade and pumping as much chakra as he could into his eyes they all were warped into Kamui.
XXXX
Orochimaru saw what had happened. "Unfortunately Naruto I am going to have to cut our little battle short." He said before licking his lips, "I will have the power I desire soon enough!" And in a poof, he was gone.
"He was summoned away." Kurama said as Naruto was slowly lowered to the ground and the chakra dispersed as well.
When Naruto was on the ground he saw that his chakra cloak had disappeared. He looked around and saw a massive perfectly rounded crater and Itachi's body but nothing else. He was about to panic when Sakura landed in the clearing sweating and clearly already panicking.
"Naruto!" She screamed as she pulled him into a hug. "I saw Nine Tails and I was so worried." She said crying into his shoulder.
Naruto just stared ahead at the round crater when he thought he saw a swirling coming from it. A moment later Sasuke, Tsunade, Rin and Obito all fell out of the disturbance.
Naruto saw that Obito and Sasuke had passed out from exhaustion and Tsunade had yet to wake up. Rin was working to heal them as much as she could and Sakura seeing what was happening ran over as well.
Naruto looked to the side and saw a brown haired Anbu watching him ready to move at a moment's notice. "Don't sweat it Tenzo." Naruto said waving the man off. "What about the rest of the village?"
Tenzo walked up to Naruto, "It seems that all of the ROOT ninjas have all either been killed or vanished."
Naruto nodded, "Good. Hey Tenzo." Naruto said to the man who looked to him. "Carry me." Naruto said before passing out into the arms of the masked Anbu.
AN: And with that I am ready to move into what I plan to have be the final arc. I had been planning the Uchiha VS Danzo fight from the beginning, I was also able to use it as a way to bring Orochimaru back and give Sasuke the mangekyo in one move. Now I hope I fooled at least some of you with "the masked man" especially after I showed Obito's shadow clone in another part of the village. I had wanted to do something with the masks he wore and I saw no opportunity for Tobi so I figured this would be the best part to do it. That is supposed to be the same outfit he got the night of the Uchiha Massacre if that was not obvious. Well as usual thank you so much for reading this far the end is in sight and I plan to make it a good one. And of course reviews are always appreciated, have a good day everyone!
