Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing the progression of the war, showing more of Naruto's allies, and seeing a reunion between friends. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Within one of the Allied Shinobi Forces Base Camps, the Medic-Nin were hard at work healing the wounded Ninja that had returned from battling the Edo Tensei Army and the White Zetsu's. Not to mention those that had encountered Naruto's own allies on the battlefield.
Though suddenly, the guards caught sight of a large group of Ninja moving towards the camp, and they could see all of them were injured and bleeding.
"Go inform the medics, we got another group coming." One of the guards said to another, who took off to inform the medics, as the group reached the gate.
"Come on, I'll take you to where the medics have been set up, so you can get…" Said the guard, only to stop when the group just walked past him, acting like they didn't even see the guard.
"Hey, are you guys alright, you just-" The guard said while getting in front of the Ninja, only for his eyes to widen when he took notice of their glowing red eyes, before they became consumed in a pitch-black substance, before they began expanding in a grotesque manner.
"Everyone, get ba-"
The guard didn't have time to finish before the group suddenly exploded, consuming nearly the entire camp in a large and destructive explosion. With those closest to the explosions being blown to pieces, while those farthest away were still injured as they were thrown back from the explosions. But before any of the survivors could get up to regroup and be ready for any other surprise attacks, the destroyed camp was surrounded by a storming vortex that began tearing up the surrounding area.
Then massive orb-like formations of water dropped down from the sky around the Ninja, either crushing them or the powerful winds slamming into them. With it not being long before all the remaining Ninja were dead, with the winds dying down as two people entered the camp and looked around at destruction.
The first appeared to be a young girl with short, neck-length, spiky light-blonde hair. Two thick strands reach onto her rosy cheeks. She also has violet eyes with small brows. While wearing a black high collared sleeveless undershirt, a sleeveless pink kimono like shirt, long light grey pants, black fingerless gloves that reached her upper arm, brown pouch wrapped around her waist white bandages wrapped up to her knees on both legs, brown belt, and grey sandals.
And the second is a man with long green hair and yellow eyes. He is seen wearing a dark hooded cloak and has a scar under his left eye. Under his cloak he was wearing baggy and loose clothing, a sleeveless light grey shirt, long light grey pants, black stockings, light grey sandals, red headband, and a beige belt.
These two are Chino and Nowaki, two more of Naruto's allies who he had met with in the Land of Hot Water. And despite her appearance, Chino was even older than Naruto was.
"Well, I'd say my Exploding Human Jutsu is a complete success." Chino stated while looking around with a pleased smile on her face, at the destruction her Exploding Human Jutsu caused.
Having managed to develop it, after being able to study some of the White Zetsu's that were captured and being able to use her Ketsuryūgan to create her new Jutsu to turn people into living bombs. While the survivors were easy enough to take out with Nowaki's Taiton Kekkei Genkai and her Water Style: Hail Jutsu.
"Yes, it'll be much easier to destroy the camps now, with your Jutsu. I'm sure Naruto will be pleased at hearing this as well." Nowaki said, with Chino nodding in agreement.
The two had met Naruto not long ago, after he had discovered the location of the Valley of Hell, with the two being wary of him and even hostile at first. But after learning who he was along with his plans to destroy the Shinobi System, along with the Hidden Villages, the two had agreed to join Naruto. With the two really being convinced after learning he was responsible for the destruction of Kumo. Along with having put all of Kiri under his control.
With Naruto having assigned them to find a way to take care of the various base camps the Shinobi Alliance has scattered around, leading to Chino capturing several White Zetsu's to study them. Eventually leading to her creating her Exploding Human Jutsu before she and Nowaki were sent out to fulfill their orders. First sending in any Ninja they capture, placed under a Genjutsu from her Ketsuryūgan, then sending them into the camps to self-destruct. With the two then moving in to deal with any survivors.
After catching the camp for anyone that might have survived, Chino and Nowaki took their leave, moving onto the next camp to repeat the same process they've done with all the others.
*Mountains' Graveyard*
Meanwhile, within the Mountains' Graveyard, Kabuto had managed to revive Kakashi, Sakura, and Yamato, with the three also reuniting with Shikamaru, Chōji, Kiba, and Neji.
"So, I'm guessing Naruto got to you three." Shikamaru stated, with Kakashi and Sakura nodding solemnly.
All of them having been filled in by Kabuto on what's happened, along with having seen Naruto's announcement to the nations and villages. With those not originally in the know about Naruto's mission feeling terrible that they actually believed he was a criminal.
"Yeah. We…we tried getting through to him, but he wouldn't listen, he didn't even hesitate to kill us." Replied Kakashi.
"And now he has Sai with him as well, meaning he'll likely know all of the Allied Forces secrets soon." Yamato said while frowning sadly, knowing that Sai had been the one to kill him.
"Sai killed you?!" Said Chōji, along with the others being shocked, having not expected this.
"Yes, he along with Hinata were the only ones that spoke out against him being sent to Hōzuki Castle, with Tsunade-sama having them temporarily restrained so they wouldn't tell Naruto about the mission. I'm guessing that learning Naruto was alive made Sai decide to switch what side he was going to be on." Yamato replied, with Neji sighing sadly.
"Then it's likely, Hinata-sama and Hanabi-sama will have already left Konoha to meet with Naruto as well, and if not join him, then seek his forgiveness." Said Neji, knowing Hinata would leave the village upon seeing Naruto was in fact alive and aware of their betrayal, and would wish to gain his forgiveness.
With Hanabi going with her sister as well, knowing they wouldn't abandon each other.
"What?! Come on man, sure we messed up by believing Naruto was a criminal, but there's no way Hinata would abandon the village like that!" Kiba said, refusing to believe his teammate would abandon Konoha, only for Neji to look at him.
"Kiba, with all due respect, you may have been Hinata-sama's teammate, but you didn't see the state she was upon learning of Naruto's death. She hid it well outside of the compound. But within it, you would have seen the pain she was in at believing Naruto was dead. For her to now know he's alive, she will leave if it means a chance to earn his forgiveness for not helping him more." Said Neji, having seen the state his cousin was in, with it now making more sense at learning the truth.
With most of them looking down at hearing this and couldn't argue with the Hyūga's logic either.
"…We really fucked up, didn't we." Said Chōji of all people, getting some surprised looks at hearing the Akimichi actually curse.
"Yeah, yeah we really did." Shikamaru said in agreement while looking down, knowing they're now reaping what they've sown.
*Later*
"Kabuto! What have you been doing to deal with the Kyūbi Brat?!" Demanded Obito as he walked up to Kabuto, wanting Naruto dealt with as soon as possible.
"If you mean Naruto, well you'll have to forgive me, if I don't feel like losing any more of my resurrections to him and his allies. And given his strength, I have a limited amount that could actually challenge him." Kabuto deadpanned, having already lost several of his Edo Tensei Ninja, and would prefer not losing any more.
Plus, he wasn't even sure of Naruto's true strength outside of what they know, he could be even stronger than his other Ninja. Possibly the only one that could actually deal with the Jinchūriki, would be his ace.
But Kabuto would prefer saving that unless he had no other choice.
"Then you have nothing?!" Obito said while narrowing his eyes, as Kabuto held up his hands.
"Now, now. I didn't say that, just that we'd have trouble beating him in physically. However, I have something that could beat him mentally. And what would you know, Naruto and Satsuki just happen to be in on the coast of the Land of Frost and Land of Lightning, which just so happens to be near where I sent Sakura, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Chōji. A near perfect reunion between friends." Said Kabuto while smirking as he summoned another of his resurrections to the battlefield.
*With Naruto and Satsuki*
Meanwhile, Naruto and Satsuki had just finished dealing with a group of White Zetsu's and were about to move on to hunt down more enemies. Only to stop and look around, when they heard whistling along with a sudden breeze blowing past them.
"Whistling?" Naruto said, frowning as they looked around for the source.
"Up there." Said Satsuki, pointing to a tree where they saw a young kid sitting a branch and being the source of the whistling.
It was a small and skinny boy with tan skin and a constant blush. He had spiky waist-length, brown hair with short bangs hanging over his eyes and chin-length strands framing both sides of his face. He had green eyes with no pupils. A sharp tooth was sticking out of the right side of his mouth. He also had a wide smile with pronounced canines. He wore a dull green robe with a dull brown cloak, wooden geta, and bandages on his head and wrists, with a purple headband.
He also had the tell-tale black sclera showing he was an Edo Tensei.
"Now they're using children." Naruto said, scowling while swearing he's going to rip Kabuto and Obito apart once he gets his hands on them.
Though the two were surprised when the kid jumped down and began whistling, which also blew a gust of wind at them.
"What the? What kind of Jutsu is…" Said Satsuki, before she and Naruto grunted and rubbed their foreheads, while feeling a sudden rush of memories return to them, before they looked at the kid again with recognition in their eyes.
"Wait minute, you're…Yota?!" Naruto said, his eyes widening at now recognizing who it was, with Satsuki's doing the same as they remembered who it was.
"Naruto, Satsuki!" Said Yota, grinning before releasing a high-pitched whistle, creating several twisters that rushed towards them, with the two Ninja jumping back away to avoid them.
"Yota…" Said Naruto while looking at the boy, remembering when they had met him years ago.
*Flashback*
Naruto sat on a metal bar outside the Academy, while gazing up at the Hokage Monument with a frown.
"You know, usually I'm supposed to be the one that sits around and broods." Said Satsuki as she walked up to the whiskered blonde, while getting Naruto's attention.
"Oh hey Satsuki. What's with the flowers?" Naruto asked when he saw several flowers poking out of Satsuki's bag, with the Uchiha looking and frowning in annoyance.
"So that's why those runts kept following me." Satsuki said, having had several kids following her all day and now she knew why, as she took the flowers out of her bag and tossed them onto the ground.
"What're you even doing out here, anyway?" Questioned Satsuki before jumping up onto the bar next to him, with Naruto shrugging as he looked back at the monument.
"Just felt like being alone. Though I saw some kid running around a while ago, he looked kind of weird." Naruto replied having seen a younger kid running around but didn't think too much of it figuring he was just some kid he hasn't seen before.
Satsuki raised a brow at this before shrugging, figuring whoever the kid was wasn't any of their concern. Though the twos attention then turned to the side at hearing approaching footsteps, seeing their classmates Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Kiba, Akamaru and Chōji. With the former four looking at them accusingly, while Akamaru and Chōji looked worried.
"What?" Naruto said, confused as to why they were here and why they were looking at him and Satsuki like that.
"What'd you do with Yota?!" Demanded Ino, making them frown while Satsuki glared at her.
"You better tell us, or else-" Kiba said as he moved to grab Naruto by the collar of his shirt, only for Satsuki to grab him by the wrist and toss the Inuzuka to the ground, with Akamaru rushing to check on his partner.
"We don't know who or what you're talking about, now get lost." Satsuki retorted, not liking the way they were accusing them of something, while Shikamaru put a hand on Ino's shoulder.
"Interrogating them won't help. Naruto, Satsuki, you both know, right?" Said Shikamaru stepping forward.
"Know what?" Naruto said, not understanding what they're talking about.
"Well…you saw something, right? You didn't see him? That…" Shikamaru said trying not to reveal anything, while Naruto and Satsuki were simply getting annoyed.
"If we didn't see "him", how could we have seen "him"?" Said Naruto, not even knowing who they weren't supposed to see, to see them.
"How are we even supposed to know what you're talking about?!" Satsuki said, since they didn't even understand what they meant.
"Come with me!" Said Sakura, grabbing Naruto's arm and pulling him off the bar.
But before she could start dragging him off, Sakura yelped when Satsuki suddenly grabbed her wrist and forced her to let go.
"If you touch either of us again, I'm gonna break your wrist." Satsuki threatened, squeezing the pinkette's wrist tightly to emphasize her point, making Sakura flinch and nod her head quickly.
"Look, we'll go with you, but don't expect us to know what's going on." Said Naruto, honestly not even caring what they're talking about, or what they think he and Satsuki saw.
Naruto and Satsuki followed the other kids into the forest, until they reached what looked like an old treehouse. With the kids then rounding on them when they reached the treehouse.
"Where did you two put Yota?!" Demanded Sakura while glaring at them.
"Yota?" Naruto said, still not knowing who they were talking about.
"You met him in the Academy schoolyard the other day, didn't you? We're the only ones who know Yota, besides you two!" Sakura said while pointing at the treehouse before pointing at Naruto and Satsuki, with the whiskered blonde flinching at the looks on their faces, the same looks that adults always give him.
With Satsuki seeing this a put a hand on his shoulder, before glaring right back at them.
"We didn't see anyone or know some brat named Yota!" Retorted Satsuki.
"You met Yota, didn't you?! You told everyone, didn't you?!" Demanded Ino, believing they were lying.
"Who's Yota?" Naruto asked while looking down.
"He was a lost kid near the village. We felt sorry for him, so we took care of him. But when we came here today, everything was a mess and Yota was gone!" Said Sakura, worried about where Yota was.
"Then he's an outsider?" Said Naruto.
"Huh…" Sakura said, not expecting that.
"Why would you protect an outsider, but still look at me with those eyes?!" Naruto demanded, while glaring at them before running off into the forest.
"Hey! What a thing to say!" Said Sakura angry at what he said, since Yota was just a defenseless kid who needed help, not seeing Satsuki glaring darkly at her nor seeing the Uchiha bringing her fist back.
With Sakura crying out when Satsuki slammed her fist right into her face, knocking her to the ground. With the girl freezing at the glare Satsuki gave her, along with the other kids.
"If any of you ever accuse me or Naruto of something ever again, I will kill you." Satsuki swore, making them flinch and pale before the Uchiha went after Naruto.
With Satsuki soon catching up to Naruto, seeing him stomping through the woods with a scowl on his face.
"Why is it always me?" Naruto said, stopping when he felt Satsuki's hand on his shoulder.
"Ignore those losers, they're just blaming us for something stupid anyway. It's not something new." Said Satsuki, knowing people tended to blame Naruto for stuff that he had nothing to do with, along with remembering how before the massacre, some of the villagers would look at her and her clansmen, along with sometimes hearing her parents talk the Uchiha's deteriorating relationship with the rest of the village.
It was actually part of the reason why Satsuki didn't have any friends, outside of Naruto. Her own introverted nature aside, Satsuki just didn't want to associate herself with the people that treated her and the rest of the Uchiha Clan poorly. Only to hypocritically pity and praise her, as if they had been supporting her all their lives, now that the Uchiha Clan was massacred by one of their own.
Really it made Satsuki wonder why they had suddenly changed their tone, when the Uchiha Clan was reduced down to just her and Itachi, with the latter now being a Missing-Nin. Was it an attempt to make her forget how poorly they treated the Uchiha Clan, out of fear that she may one day follow in Itachi's footsteps and try to kill all of them, as well? Was it just an attempt to get in good with the last loyal Uchiha in Konoha, and then set up their sons with her? Since despite them not having much political power, due to them running the Military Police Force. The Uchiha Clan was still a very ancient, powerful, and wealthy Ninja Clan, given how they were said to be one of the first Ninja Clans to form.
Especially since unlike the Senju Clan, they didn't have someone like Tsunade running around. Who has been blowing her clan's wealth and resources on sake, gambling, and paying off debt collectors.
Though to be honest, outside of some mild curiosity, Satsuki didn't really care all that much about finding out their reasoning for it. Since it wouldn't make the hypocrisy of it all, any less annoying and frustrating.
Naruto calmed down slightly and nodded, before frowning as he looked around only to see they were now lost. But before they could try and figure out a way back to the village, the two kids were surprised when they suddenly heard crying, followed by it suddenly raining.
"What, rain?" Satsuki said, confused as they looked up but didn't see a cloud in the sky.
Looking around, the two soon spotted a kid sitting on a branch, crying.
"You…you're Yota?" Said Naruto, believing this was the mysterious Yota.
*End Flashback*
It was after that, Naruto and Satsuki had befriended Yota, along with teaching him how to whistle and learning how he could manipulate the weather. With his abilities being tied to his emotional state, with it raining if he's sad, snowing if he's happy, lightning if he's upset, and wind when he whistles.
And despite what happened before, they also befriended the others as well. Playing with each other and Yota, then going to save him when he was captured by Anbu. Only for things to go blank afterwards, when Yota died.
Though suddenly, before they could do or say anything, they had to jump out of the way of another blast of wind.
"I should have burned that bastard to ash, when I had the chance!" Satsuki said, angry at Kabuto for having revived Yota, swearing the next chance she gets she's turning him into a pile of ashes.
"Save a piece of him for me." Said Naruto, just as angrily, as neither of them wanted to fight their old friend.
Just then, Sakura, Shikamaru, Chōji, and Kiba jumped out from the trees, soon followed by Ino who had been fighting nearby before coming to investigate the sounds of fighting. The five of them widening their eyes before flinching when Yota jumped around them and flicked their foreheads, unsealing their memories as well.
"Sakura! Shikamaru, Chōji, Ino! Kiba!" Yota said, grinning as the five of them looked at Yota, now remembering him.
"Yota?!" Said the five, before they took notice of Naruto and Satsuki as well, neither of them looking the least bit happy or amused at seeing them.
"Yeah! Everyone's here now! Kon, kon, kon!" Said Yota, dancing around as it began snowing in response, happy at seeing all his friends again, even if he was dead and forced to fight them.
Only for the boy to stop when he saw the others hadn't moved, with Naruto and Satsuki glaring at their former friends-now-enemies.
"Why isn't everyone happy?" Yota asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"Ask them Yota. They're the ones that betrayed Naruto-kun, throwing him into prison all for a damn mission he didn't even know about!" Said Satsuki, glaring at them murderously, while Yota's eyes widened before he looked at the five.
"What? You betrayed Naruto?" Yota asked, hurt that they'd betray their friend.
"I-it's not like that Yota!" Said Sakura desperately, making Naruto scoff.
"Yeah, it's exactly like that! You agreed to have me sent to Blood Prison for a damn mission I wasn't even aware of, letting everyone think I was a criminal! After I risked my life to stop Nagato from killing all of you and wasn't that the biggest mistake I ever made! Even more when I convinced him to revive you bastards! And let's not even count the time you accused me and Satsuki-chan of doing something to Yota when we hadn't even met him at the time!" Naruto shouted glaring at them, while Yota looked at them with tears in his eyes.
"Yot-" Shikamaru said, only for Yota to start crying and blast them with pillars of water.
"WAAAAAAAHH! You aren't my friends, you're all big jerks!" Cried Yota, before he got upset and launched lightning at them.
"Yota, please! We can explain!" Ino pleaded.
"NO! You all hurt Naruto and Satsuki! They were our friends, but you still betrayed them! You all hated them, because you were made to hate Naruto and you hated Satsuki because of her family! But you still defended me, an outsider to them, even if we were friends! But we aren't friends, not anymore!" Yota shouted, having been "uploaded", per say, by Kabuto that he believed would be useful to use against Naruto and Satsuki.
"Well what about them?! They're planning to destroy the Shinobi System and the Hidden Villages; they're going to kill who knows how many people!" Yelled Kiba, refusing to let Naruto and Satsuki try get the moral high ground with Yota.
"Good! Everyone else are big jerks for hurting them and they deserve to hurt them now! Just like we were hurt!" Yota said while firing more lightning at them.
"Yota." Said Naruto as he and Satsuki looked at him in surprise that he understood their goal, with the reincarnated boy smiling at them.
"Naruto, Satsuki! I'm glad I got to meet you both and we could become friends, even if I was already dead." Yota said smiling, while their eyes widened at hearing.
"What do you mean Yota?" Satsuki asked.
"I was already dead when we first met. I died and was resurrected by Orochimaru as a test subject, being sent to Konoha by him, where I met all of you. I erased your memories so you wouldn't remember and learn the truth. I was sad at having to leave, but I was also happy as even if I was dead, since I got to have great friends like you!" Said Yota while smiling happily at them, as Naruto and Satsuki looked at him sadly.
"Yota…we could help you." Naruto said, knowing they could get Ajisai to use her Rinnegan to revive Yota fully.
Plus, his studies on Fūinjutsu should allow him to create a seal, that would allow Ajisai to survive using the Rinne Tensei. Especially since it'd only be one person, with Yota being fully revived in his current body.
Only for Yota to shake his head as snow began piling up around him.
"No, my life was sad because I was alone. But my death was happy, because I finally got to have friends and now, I know you both will remember me. Right?" Yota asked, with Naruto and Satsuki nodding.
"Always." Satsuki replied, making Yota smile as he was buried in snow.
"Thank you for being my friends." Said Yota in their minds, before a bolt of lightning came crashing down right on top of him, dispelling the Edo Tensei on him, freeing the young boy from Kabuto's control.
Naruto and Satsuki looked sadly at the spot where Yota once was, saddened at once again losing their friend. Though it wasn't long before that sadness was replaced by anger and hatred. With Naruto catching Sakura's fist, when the pinkette jumped at him. Screaming in rage and anger that Yota would denounce them as his friends, when they had met him first, yet still be friends with Naruto and Satsuki. Even with knowing what they were doing, he still chose to be friends with them!
Completely ignoring how it was their own fault for how Yota had denounced their friendship, with how they treated and betrayed Naruto. Something that only proved Yota right, on how they were raised and programmed to hate Naruto and Satsuki. After all, if that wasn't case, then they would have accepted the consequences of their own actions, despite how much it had hurt them. Rather than lashing out at Satsuki and Naruto, while using them as convenient scapegoats to blame for how Yota denounced the five of them as his friends. Right after they just got him back.
"I should have killed you before, in that village! And you back in the Land of Iron!" Sakura said, glaring at them, as any remnants of friendship between them was now officially dead.
While the whiskered ravenette looked at her with a dark expression, as he entered Sage Mode and his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated.
"I'm gonna make you wish you stayed dead. Spiraling Ring!" Said Naruto before slamming a Spiraling Ring into Sakura's chest, sending her flying back.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu! Fang Over Fang!" Kiba shouted rushing towards them, while using a Shadow Clone to compensate for how he no longer had Akamaru, only for Satsuki to channel lightning through her sword and slice him in half.
"Human Bullet Yo-Yo!" Shikamaru, Ino, and Chōji said, as they managed to work together to use a team attack, with Chōji growing to giant size while Shikamaru connected their shadows, while Ino kept track of Naruto and Satsuki, sending the information straight to Shikamaru.
Only for Naruto to intercept and punch Chōji, knocking him back as he crashed into Shikamaru, while Ino was able to get out of the way in time. Along with Sakura and Kiba reforming and jumping in as well. Though Naruto and Satsuki had the advantage, with their anger and hatred of what happened to Yota making them more ruthless, as they repeatedly ripped their resurrected enemies apart again and again.
Though when Ino's backup soon arrived, Naruto and Satsuki had finally had enough and soon stopped holding back.
"Wood Style: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!" Naruto said, making a handsign before holding out his arms, as within moments a large dense forest of massive flowers emerged and restrained all of the Ninja.
With the flowers soon blooming and releasing a large amount of pollen that the trapped Ninja couldn't escape as they inhaled it, soon falling unconscious as they did so.
"Blaze Style: Kagutsuchi!" Said Satsuki, creating a sword of Amaterasu flames before swinging it and releasing spike-shaped projectiles as she swung it, the flames spreading incinerating the trapped Ninja, including Ino.
Leaving only the resurrected Ninja, who Naruto lowered to the ground and trapped them together.
"Kabuto, I'm sure you can hear me through your little puppets. And I want you to know, when we get our hands on you, you'll wish for something as merciful as death!" Naruto said before slamming his hands on the ground, creating a large Fūinjutsu circle around the four.
With the circle lighting up a haunting blue and black color, as Sakura, Shikamaru, Chōji, and Kiba's bodies dissolved into ashes while their souls remained. Only for them to soon scream and break apart as their souls were obliterated, while the fragments began merging together into Naruto's newest creation.
Before long, a massive creature with four raven skulls with horns and glowing red eyes, attached to a ribcage with a bright blue glow within it, large black feathered wings sprouting from its back, and skeletal hands holding a large scythe.
"An Amalgam of Souls." Naruto said, smirking at his creation, as the being bowed to him while having no memories of its past lives, only an instinctual desire to serve its master.
Dismissing the creature, Naruto and Satsuki took off to hunt down more enemies, still having plenty of anger and rage to work out.
*Mountains' Graveyard*
"Well…that could have gone better." Kabuto stated, seeing he's lost not only Yota, but Sakura, Shikamaru, Chōji, and Kiba as well.
And now he had a very pissed off Naruto and Satsuki after him, as well
"Yes, well done Kabuto. Your attempt to deal with Naruto and Satsuki, hasn't only failed, but you've lost five more resurrections." Said Obito, annoyed at the attempt to deal with not only Naruto, but Satsuki as well, has failed in the worse way possible.
"Relax, so psychological warfare didn't work. It just means we'll simply stick with the direct approach from now on. And luckily, I have more than enough resurrections that will prove a challenge for them." Kabuto said, though he was inwardly worried at the idea of Naruto and Satsuki hunting him down now.
He just hoped that his remaining resurrections will be enough to deal with them.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see that Naruto has recruited Chino and Nowaki as well, having them deal with the Shinobi Alliances Base Camps. Before we see Kabuto has revived Kakashi, Sakura, and Yamato, with them reuniting with the other resurrected Ninja and lamenting how badly they messed up, then see Obito ordering Kabuto to deal with Naruto. Resulting in him sending Yota after Naruto and Satsuki, the latter being part of their circle of friends, with their memories being unsealed along with the others when they show up. Before Yota denounce everyone but Naruto and Satsuki as his friends for their betrayal, while still being able to break free from the Edo Tensei thanks to maintaining his friendship with Naruto Satsuki. Leading to a battle between Naruto and Satsuki against their former allies/friends, with neither of them holding back thanks to their anger and hatred. Leading to Ino and her backup being killed, while Sakura, Shikamaru, Chōji, and Kiba's souls are destroyed and reformed into an Amalgam of Souls. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
