It has been two years since the restoration of the Uzumaki clan, and in that time, the Uchiha has been able to push back the Sarutobi, Hyuuga and the Three Lords of Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi. But now the Hyuuga have entered into a new alliance with the Inuzuka and Aburame clans to crush the Uchiha and march to the capital. The battle will take place in the Ame Plains.

Castle Red Lantern, residence of the Uchiha Clan

A now 10 year old Naruto is fishing in the garden, now with a retainer holding a parasol over his head. A voice calls out, "Oi, Naruto!"

Naruto turns to see the youngest son of the Uchiha, with his dark hair spiked up save for the bangs, making him look like he has a duck butt for hair. Naruto looks up, "What is it, Sasuke?"

Sasuke runs up to him, "Itachi and Shisui are riding off into their first battle together, wanna join me and mother as we send them off?"

Naruto nods, "Sure, let's go."

They both rush off to get to the main gate of Red Lantern Castle, where they saw Fugaku, Itachi, Obito, and Iruka about to ride off with a boy around Itachi's age with the same light black hair and eyes, but with a slightly larger nose. Itachi notices, "Ah, Shisui, look. It's Naruto and Sasuke."

The boy Shisui waves to them, "Hey guys."

Sasuke looks at him and begs, "Please make sure my brother and father come home, Shisui."

Shisui assures, "Not to worry, Sasuke. I'll watch their backs like they'll watch my own."

Fugaku looks over his family, "Itachi, Shisui, we must ride out now."

Itachi bows, "Yes father."

The five warriors mount their horses and ride off. As they leave, Naruto and Sasuke find Mikoto standing behind them, "Come, children we have a castle to tend to and lessons to learn."

As they leave, they see a woman with chin length brown hair with purple marks on her cheeks looking out at the cavalry riding out. Naruto asks, "Is everything alright, Miss Rin?"

The girl, Rin, nods, "Yes, Naruto. Nothing to worry about. And haven't I told you already? I'm married to Obito. So no miss nonsense."

Ame Plains, Days later

Fugaku looks out at the field and grimaces, "A fog is coming in. This is not good."

Itachi assures, "It's early in the morning father, we can use it to our advantage."

Fugaku nods, "Very well. I will lead the main charge through the Hyuuga camp with Shisui and Iruka. Obito will lead a flank on the left while Itachi will lead a flank on the right. We must strike hard and fast before the fog lifts and the enemy knows what is going on."

Obito questions, "How many soldiers do they have?"

Iruka notes, "Scout reports said that they were about the same as us, 15,000 soldiers."

Shisui notes, "So the flankers will get 2,500 soldiers each and we the main 10,000?"

Fugaku starts to leave, "Yes, now let us go to battle."

The five mount their steeds and ride off with their forces to where they must be.

Ame Plains, The Other Side

At the center of a line of soldiers were two men standing side by side. They were very similar since they were twins, but there were differences, such as one twin having a band around his forehead, while the other has sharper features that stress can cause. Behind them are a man and a woman. The man has slicked back spiky hair and is wearing tinted spectacles, while the woman has a feral look with her mane of hair and sharp eyes with red triangles on her cheeks. The more mature twin questions, "Is everyone aware of the plan?"

The woman growls, "Yes Hiashi, we are. Now can we get it over with?"

The sunglasses wearing man warns, "Patience is a virtue, Lady Tsume."

Tsume retorts, "Apathy breeds pestilence, Lord Shibi."

Hiashi's twin chuckles, "You say that like it's a bad thing."

Hiashi clears his throat, "Hizashi."

A man with a bowl cut with green armor points out to the distance, "The enemy approaches! Come my lords, let us ride to battle with youth in our blood!"

Hiashi nods, "Very good, Guy, now let us fight for our clans."

The five mount horses and ride off. Behind them are thousands of soldiers as they march behind their lords. Hiashi calls, "Men! For too long the Uchiha have been a thorn in our sides! NO MORE! Today, we will crush our enemies and march on to the Capital!"

The armies cheer and follow behind their commanders.

Ame Plains

A scout bows before Fugaku and states, "My Lord! The enemy is marching towards the Ame Castle, they've already set up a defensive force around the Hyuuga camp."

Fugaku orders, "Shisui, Iruka, rally the men! We Charge!"

The armies of the Uchiha storm through the mist and smashing the Hyuuga vanguard. Uchiha horsemen were knocked off as the Hyuuga foot soldiers were trampled. Itachi rides ahead of his father, who calls out, "Stay behind your guards, Itachi. I am not losing a son in his first battle!"

Itachi nods his head, "Understood, father."

Itachi slows his horse behind his men as the forces split up. Obito split off next, shouting, "For the Uchiha!"

As Itachi and Obito's battalions fade away, Fugaku leads his men in a forward charge. As they smash through the Hyuuga vanguard, they make it to the entrance of the Hyuuga camp. Fugaku orders, "Iruka, lead the assault, me and Shisui will storm the camp."

Iruka salutes while Fugaku and Shisui dismount their horses. They rush inside as the other forces enter as well. Inside the Hyuuga camp, that's when they see it: There was not a single soldier in sight, only scarecrows wearing soldiers armors. Fugaku screams out, "It's a trap. Everyone out now!"

A rainstorm of fiery arrows parade through the false Hyuuga camp. As the camp is lit ablaze, several of the men get struck down by the arrows, their bodies burning corpses. Fugaku and his top generals barely escape from the burning trap with their lives. Hiashi orders to his troops, "Forward! Wipe out any Uchiha who escape!"

Fugaku stumbles out with a handful of samurai and his generals. He calls out, "Itachi, are you still alive!?"

Itachi stumbles next to him, "I am unharmed, father."

They immediately see the legion of Hyuuga cavalry charging right at them. Iruka starts to pale, "We're, we're not gonna make it."

Shisui assures, "Don't worry, if we die, we die with honor."

Fugaku tells him, "Nobodies dying today. I've got an ace in the hole."

Itachi chuckles, "So, who did you bring into the fold, father?"

Ame Plains, Hyuuga Side

The Hyuuga charge at the crippled Uchiha forces, screaming, "Death to the Uchiha!"

Hiashi chuckles slightly, "Yes, first the Uchiha, then the capital."

A scout rushes in, screaming, "Lord Hyuuga! There's a cavalry riding into the battle with Uzumaki banners!"

Tsume snaps, "What!? Whose leading them?"

The scout stutters, "From what we can tell, Nagato Uzumaki. He has a false leg and wielding a lance."

Shibi groans under his breath, "Our trap was countered with a trap."

Hizashi questions, "How many soldiers does Nagato have?"

The scout tells them, "3,000, that plus the unaccounted losses of Fugaku's men could mean they have an advantage over us."

Hiashi orders, "Have the men split up, half fighting Nagato's forces, the other half leave no Uchiha survivors."

Guy steps forward, "I will lead the attack on youthful Nagato's attack. With the springtime of youth on my side, I will overcome any obstacle."

Guy raises his warfan high in the air, and shouts, "Men! To fight with the power of Youth!"

Tsume asks, "Um...Is he alright?"

Hizashi assures, "You get used to him...Still taking me and brother a while."

Hiashi huffs, "End the conversation. We fight!"

Off in another direction, Hiashi and his army rode.

Nagato's Forces

Nagato is leading the charge with his army. Nagato shouts, "Relieve the Uchiha! We must ensure Lord Fugaku's retreat!"

Several of his men raise their spears in the air showing they understand his orders. One of his men shout, "A band of Hyuuga warriors are charging to face us, Lord Nagato!"

Nagato orders, "Fight at full speed! We cannot and will not be slowed down!"

A squad of cavalry men ride in front of Nagato to protect him as they charge into the rival cavalry. Suddenly, someone on the opposing side jumps off his horse and dives at Nagato to deliver a kick. He sends Nagato off his horse, but he lands on his feet. Nagato looks up and sees a man in light armor tinted green, with a bowl cut, and a smirk that sparkles in the sunlight. Nagato chuckles, "Not bad, pretty gutsy to come at me without a weapon. Who are you?"

The man introduces himself, "Might Guy, loyal retainer of the Hyuuga Clan. Mentor of Lord Hizashi's son Neji. And from the wooden leg and striking red hair I take it you are Lord Nagato of the Uzumaki?"

Nagato nods, "I am, though I am a bit embarassed that I'm only known for a dumb leg that got mangled by a horse."

Guy promises, "Then let you be known for fighting the green beast of youth!"

Guy charges at him, and Nagato drops his spear, grabbing onto a shield on his back. Guy lands a kick on the shield, pushing Nagato back. Guy grabs onto the shield, and prepares a spin kick, but Nagato removes the shield. Guy is knocked off and the two charge at each other. Guy lands a kick that sends Nagato to his back. Several of his spearmen surround Guy, but Nagato raises his hand, catching his breath, "Wait! ...Wait. Might Guy. If you let me live and let me save the Uchiha for a retreat, I will face you again in a more fair duel. Will you let me and my men save our people?"

Guy stands back, "Very well, I can admire a man's resolve to preserve the age of youth. I will allow your men through, but know that the other forces may not allow you."

Nagato bows, "Thank you."

He mounts his horse and charges through. They charge through the hundreds of Hyuuga footsoldiers, mowing them down. Eventually, they find Fugaku and two dozen of his men surrounded by barricades fighting off Hyuuga cavalry with bows and arrows. Nagato calls out, "Lord Fugaku!"

Fugaku looks over, "Nagato! Perfect timing!"

Nagato orders his men, "Flank the Hyuuga! Distract them while we flee!"

The men go charging, and Fugaku orders, "Men! Lord Nagato has given us an opportunity! Let us return home!"

The men mount steeds and proceed to flee. Arrows firing off in the distance.

Castle Red Lantern

That night the men were despondent. Fugaku stands before his men in a somber banquet and tells them, "Men of the Uchiha, though we lost this battle against the Hyuuga, do not despair. We live to fight another day, and live to return to our families. Honor was not lost for we fought bravely to the end."

Everyone raises a bowl of sake and takes a quick gulp. Naruto and Sasuke step forward to Fugaku and break down into humble bows. Sasuke speaks up, "Father, if I were older I would've fought alongside you."

Naruto adds, "I would've helped too, believe it."

Fugaku tells them, "Children, your contribution would not have changed anything. Hizashi's trap would not have been spotted so easily. Do not cloud your judgment with guilt. You are but children, do not feel regret for having an innocence most of us have lost."

The two nod, and return to sit with Mikoto. Mikoto whispers, "You know, Naruto, I hear Nagato brought your mother with him to visit you."

Naruto starts to smile brightly as he makes a giggling noise. As the men work to figure out how to recover from this loss, Mikoto leads Naruto and Sasuke away, "Come, let's greet Lady Kushina and your cousins."

They leave the hall to an entrance surrounded by guards. At the foot is Nagato with a more simple peg leg and cane. Beside him is Karin and Kushina, who rushes to Naruto and tackles him to the ground with a hug. Karin gasps, "Lady Kushina!?"

Naruto croaks out in his mother's arm, "Mom...You're embarrassing me…"

She releases him, "Sorry, sweetie."

Naruto asks, "So how've you been mom? Cousin Karin?"

Kushina smiles, "We're doing very well. Our province has never been more prosperous, with traders coming in and even our army is getting new Tepo and Arquebus rifles. I've got a whole list for you to study when you get the chance."

Karin adds, "I'm learning to fight with a spear so that I can serve our province loyally."

Naruto chuckles, "Neat. Hey, do you want to meet some of my new friends?"

Kushina nods, "Of course."

Naruto takes her by the hand and takes her along. They walk past some of Fugaku's samurai, who huffs when they leave, "Disgraceful. That Uzumaki bastard is nothing but a fool."

His fellow samurai silences him, "Quiet, you do not want to get on Uzumaki's bad side even if you have a point."

The man growls, "Bah, that weak clan couldn't produce a proper son, and they let the prospective heir bear a bastard. They allowed a worm like Gato to take over, and they needed our help, they didn't have a bite to worry about, just a growl."

His friend groans, "You are too cavaliere. When the time comes we may end up fighting the Uzumaki someday."

The man chuckles, "I'll welcome that day."

Castle White Moon, domain of the Hyuuga

Author's Note: So I tried to base this chapter on the Battle of Kawanakajima, the greatest battle between the Takeda and Uesugi which is considered the bloodiest battle in the entire Sengoku Period.

In all honesty, I don't think I lived up to its full potential. For that, I am sorry y'all.

But I admit that this feels kind of like the style of the amazing Nobunaga Concerto Anime. I'll try to do the next chapter in that style, or as best as I can.

When Naruto's old enough to fight and go to war, that's when the story will hopefully get better.

Now below, I'm going to try something different. I'm going to try and make this a sort of documentary style moment, where modern historians talk about the previous chapter to an audience.

Modern Day: Konohagakure, Interview room.

A man in a business suit with slicked back hair and a pair of glasses looks to the audience, "Hello everyone, thank you for joining me. I'm Motoyasu Sanada, and with me is my fellow speaker, an actual descendant of Naruto Uzumaki, Mr. Nobuyuki Uzumaki. Thank you for joining us, Mr. Uzumaki."

The blonde man with his hair slicked back with a chin strap beard nods to the speaker, "Thank you for having me, Mr. Sanada."

Motoyasu begins, "Now to begin where we left off previously, Naruto Uzumaki had the most humble of origins out of every Daimyo at the time. He was an illegitimate child of the Uzumaki clan and was exiled following a coup. But the powerful Uchiha clan uplifted his clan from the lower brink."

Nobuyuki nods, "True, but at that point they were a figurehead, and since Naruto was raised in poverty, he was written off as a fool by the more traditional samurai."

Motoyasu wonders, "And he went from a fool to the conqueror of the country."

Nobuyuki agrees, "True, he created a shogunate that lasted 200 years until the Meiji Modernization, when the shogunate had to be dismantled."

Motoyasu asks, "Out of curiosity, when would you say the Uzumaki's fortune truly began to change?"

Nobuyuki shrugs, "In all honesty, while some will say it was when he became a page of the Uchiha, I think it was at the Battle of Ame Plains, when the Uchiha's authority would truly begin to take a dive."
