Why God Why?

I knew I was late. Everyone else had already gathered at the location of what we hoped would be the final Show-Down between the Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces. Yet I still had a while to go before getting there. I knew that the Jubi had been revived and that Naruto had fully befriended the Kyubi, or rather Kurama. 'Only you Naru-chan. Honesty, I'm not even surprised at this point.' I chuckled mentally and increased my speed slightly. Finally, I could sense the massive chakra signatures of both the Allied Shinobi Force and the even more intense chakra of the Jubi. 'Dear Kami this is some intense chakra… Fuck…'

Itachi and Shisui had both called me dramatic as a child. Back then I hadn't really thought much of it, I figured they were just teasing me like any normal family members would. Though now I had to admit that they might have had a point. I had spent my entire life hiding who my tou-san had been, refusing to let the world know that I was indeed an Uchiha. I had hidden my Sharingan behind black lenses and made sure no one could see me use them. And here I was, jumping in front of Naruto and two Hyuga's with my green Susanoo blazing brightly for anyone to see. 'Might not have thought that through.' I admitted to myself and turned around to see Naruto looking at the two Hyuga in shock. 'Neji and Hinata, was it?' I wondered as I released the Susanoo and scanned the kids for any injuries. I had just jumped in front of the attack heading their way with no thought after all. 'They seem fine, so I must have blocked all of the spikes.' I assured myself. 'And with everyone trying to not die, I doubt people will care until the war is over.'
"Neji, Hinata… Why would you jump in front of me like that?" Naruto asked them shell-shocked. Like he couldn't fathom that anyone would care enough for him to give their life for his.
"Because Naruto, you saved me from the darkness." Neji stated like it was obvious. "With Hinata-sama willing to do the same, I think it's clear that you hold more than your own life in your hands. Evidently, you hold mine as well."
"Yes, yes, this is all sweet and all, but there's a large chakra monster controlled by two crazy murderers over there, so maybe we can get back to the fight?" I called out to Naruto and rolled my eyes.
"But… They almost died because of me." Naruto stated with fear in his eyes.
"No Naru-chan. They nearly met their maker, knowing that their choice saved someone precious to them." I told him softly. "So don't sit there and fear for who might be gone. Stand up and honour all the sacrifices of the war by fighting on. Don't back down and give up. We both know that's not your Nindo."
I turned around and faced the Jubi and raised one eyebrow in confusion. There were two men on the top, and I knew for a fact that both of them should have died. 'Uchiha Obito was alive this whole time? He was Madara? Good Kami, Kakashi must be tearing himself apart!' I controlled my expression as Obito got ready to fire a Tailed-Beast-Bomb. 'Well fuck, shit just got a whole lot harder…'
"Get ready!" I snapped at Naruto, Hinata and Neji. I quickly activated my Mangekyo, ready to activate any needed jutsu. Luckily, I didn't have to. Killer Bee had gotten a lift from Sai and had transformed mid-air before shooting his own Beast-Bomb inside the mouth of the Jubi, effectively making the bomb explode inside the Chakra Beast. I watched Hinata place her hand on Naruto's cheek and speak softly to him. Naruto grabbed her hand and slowly stood up.
"Thanks Hinata, Neji, Akira-nee-chan." He said softly, still holding Hinata's hand. Then they both started glowing as Naruto activated his chakra cloak and allowed the chakra to form a protective cloak around Hinata as well. 'When did he learn that?' I marvelled for a second.
"Let's do this." Naruto stated and formed his most used hand seal, creating three Shadow Clones. I smiled proudly as he started distributing the chakra to everyone in the army. "Nee-chan! You too!"
I reached my hand out for him, allowing him to give me a high-five as the real him started running. The chakra was warm, nothing like how I imagined the Kyubi, no, Kurama's, chakra to be. Next thing I knew was chaos. Obito kept shouting at Naruto, as if he expected him to give up after some arguing. Clearly, he had never argued with Naruto before. The real Madara mostly let Obito do what he wanted, just adding some fire every once and then. And by adding fire, I was being literal. If we didn't have Naruto's chakra cloak, most of the army would probably have burned to death by now. At some point Obito had kidnapped Kakashi with a Kamui, and Naruto was slowly growing weaker. 'What the fuck? Seriously?' I groaned again, when I noticed Madara activate his blue Susanoo. 'Of course, it's only getting worse… Tachi, you better get here quickly because there's no way I can defeat Madara alone. Hell, I would have a hard time even entertaining him.'

After all the constant attacks coming our way, Naruto wasn't able to keep up the Cloak that protected the entire army. Naturally, the Jubi chose the minute everyone was pretty much defence-less to transform and start forming an even bigger Beast-Bomb. 'Wait, that chakra? Thank Kami, you guys sure took your time!' I smirked slightly while the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces started panicking to form enough Earth Walls to protect everyone. With Killer Bee struggling to stop the large ball of destructive chakra, I felt them closing in. One second, everyone looked like they were facing their deaths, and the next everyone was wondering how the Beast Bomb was defeated.
"Am I late?" The legendary Yondaime Hokage asked from my left, both of us standing in front of Naruto who was being healed by Sakura.
"Nope. Right on time, Tou-san." Naruto smirked proudly. As a backlash of Minato transporting the Beast-Bomb to what I assumed was a close-by ocean, the entire battlefield was flooded with rocks and water, leading to even more confusion as to what just happened among the forces.
"I take it Sasu-chan decided to join our side?" I asked Minato, feeling a sense of relief fill my body.
"Indeed, they'll be here soon." Minato answered with a cheerful smile, so similar to Naruto's. The oldest Namikaze turned back to Naruto and Sakura. "Thanks for healing Naruto. Are you… Naruto's girlfriend?"
"I suppose you could say that!" Naruto quickly said, earning an eyeroll from me and a harsh headbutt from Sakura. "The others should be arriving soon."
"Minato, you're as fast as ever." The Sandaime Hokage told the blond as he landed on my right. Earning gasps in shock from those around us. He was quickly joined by the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage.
"Well damn, had Tsunade been here we would have been all the Hokages from first to sixth." I stated with a raised eyebrow. While the presence of such strong figures, fighting on our side helped raise the moral drastically, it also led to the question as to who would summon them.
"Orochimaru summoned us." Hokage-jiji answered that question, only succeeded in fuelling the confusion.
"I don't even know what's going on anymore…" Sakura complained right before a large bang snapped our attention to Madara.
"I've been waiting for you, Hashirama!" he yelled out in a very non-Uchiha manner. I shook my head in disapproval. 'And I thought he was the founder of the Uchiha mask of displeasure… How the mighty have fallen.'
"I'll deal with you later!" Hashirama yelled out dramatically before turning his attention to the Jubi.
"Your friends are coming too. They're our allies." Minato told Naruto before activating what we all quickly recognized as the Kyubi-Chakra-Cloak. The four Reanimated Hokages quickly split up with the help of Minato's Hirashin and activated a large red barrier I easily recognized as the Four Crimson Ray Formation.
"Kami, you guys were so slow I thought I was going to die of boredom!" I complained as I felt Itachi and Sasuke landing right behind me. Both of them snorted in amusement at my comment. "Now I have all my adorable little minions here! Team 7! Go kick arse!"
"Always the dramatic, Kira-nee-chan." Sasuke called out while Naruto and Sakura smirked. Sakura easily hiding her shock behind her confident expression. Finally, after years apart, all 12 original members of the Konoha 12 was standing together, ready to fight.

The two thirteen-year-old ANBU Captains were silently scanning the building they were about the break into. It had become a Head-Quarter for missing nins from all of the Elemental Nations and the ANBU Intel suggested that they meant trouble. Not just for Konoha, but for all of the Elemental Nations. In other words; they had to be dealt with before they grew in strength.
'I'll take the top.' Akira signed to her teammate and brother in everything but blood, Itachi.
'We should leave a clone each to make sure no one get's away.' Itachi signed back with an analytical look in his eyes. 'I'll take the basement and gather all the information.'
Akira nodded and sat up slightly, looking up at the window on top of the building.
'Can you get me up there?' she asked her teammate, who actually rolled his eyes in response.
'You have such low expectations of me, and just because Shisui beat me in arm wrestling once…' he complained but got up to give her the push she needed. 'Plan Zeta should one of us be discovered.'
'Understood. Now let's do this.'

Itachi and I looked at Team 7 with pride shining in our eyes. 'They really grew up well. My adorable little minions.' I smiled at them before turning my attention to Itachi.
"So, should we show them what real teamwork looks like?" I asked him, a glint of mischief shining in my eyes.
"Actually, I wanted to ask the two of you to do something else." Hashirama called out from in front of us. "I have to stand here and keep the barrier up, so I need you two to deal with Madara before he decided to attack me here and ruin the barrier."
"Oh… Sure, we're definitely capable of defeated one of the strongest Shinobi of all time." I stated sarcastically and rolled my eyes dramatically.
"Exactly!" Hashirama called out cheerfully, either not catching the sarcasm or choosing to ignore it.
"You're a bit weird, you know?" I told him, but turned my back to the red barrier and over to the Reanimated Uchiha. "Plan Zeta?"
"Plan Zeta."
