Chapter 1: First Shinobi War Breaks Out
The tensions between the five great nations were at their highest point; only a few months had elapsed since the death of the second mizukage and the second tsuchikage, being that they killed each other after an intense battle, triggered by differences in their plan to initiate a joint siege of Kumogakure and Konohagakure.
The newly appointed third tsuchikage, Oonoki, continued his preparations to besiege Konoha; the heir of the element dust held a great resentment towards Konoha, after the humiliation that he and his master suffered from Madara, and now that Madara and the First Hokage, Hashirama, were dead, he could not miss the opportunity, with or without Kirigakure's help, he would make Konoha pay, he would continue his master's wish.
Meanwhile, in Kirigakure, the new Mizukage gave up on his predecessor's idea of attacking Konoha. However, he could not sit idly by; he knew that if Iwagakure managed to bring down Konoha, his next target would be Kirigakure to avenge his late leader's death. So, instead of preparing a siege, the Mizukage set about preparing the defenses to prevent any invasion.
Shortly before the death of both kages, the situation in Kumogakure was unstable; recently, the Second Raikage had suffered an attack by the brothers of gold and silver since they disagreed on the peace treaty that the Raikage was for signing with Konoha. When the Raikage learned of Kiri and Iwa's intentions to besiege them, the pressure from the Ginkaku and Kinkaku sympathizers increased, having the brothers as enemies was not good for the Raikage, He knew his position was at stake; however, upon Oonoki's appointment as Tsuchikage, and knowing that he would go to war alone against Konoha, the Raikage sent a message to Oonoki, offering him to ally and together invade Konoha, he knew it was a risky bet, not long ago Kumo also was a target of the Second Tsuchikage, however, in his current situation, neither he nor Oonoki had much choice. After the announcement that Kumo would ally himself with Iwa for the siege of Konoha and that the peace treaty would no longer carry out by Kumo, both the Gold and Silver brothers, like their supporters, supported the Raikage. The Raikage was a shinobi with an incredible capacity for intellect; he knew that this did not mean that he could trust the brothers, but he would have them watched, having imprisoned them for the ambush was not an option, if he had done so, he would have unleashed a civil war, he hoped that the brothers died on the battlefield, the Kinkaku Army would ultimately be the advance squad.
Konoha: Jounin Council Room
At the main table were sitting the high command of Konoha, in the center was Tobirama Senju, who wore his Hokage robe, which he rarely used, and positioned in front of him on the table, was his hat with the kanji for FIRE on it. Sat at his right was the Jonin commander and Hokage advisor, Sasuke Sarutobi (father of Hiruzen Sarutobi), a ninja whose fame spread throughout the 5 nations, and at his left was Shikadai Nara (Shikaku Nara's grandfather), Konoha War Strategist, his intelligence would only be matched generations later by his grandson, Shikaku, and his great-grandson Shikamaru.
On the secondary table, which had a "U" shape around the perimeter of the room, were the clan leaders, Hyuga, Uchiha, Shimura, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, Senju, among others, only the Sarutobi's clan seat was empty since their leader was part of the council.
The Hokage finally spoke once all clan leaders had taken their seats: "I will be direct, we are at war" - The Hokage's declaration alarmed most of those present; they hoped that after the death of the Second Mizukage and Tsuchikage, Kiri and Iwa would desist from starting a war, the leaders of the clans They had lived through the times of war before the creation of the ninja villages, it was something they did not want to experience again, for their children to experience, their expressions were of desolation - "although it is not official yet and no attack has been launched towards Konoha, Our spies have confirmed that given the dissolution of the alliance between Kiri and Iwa, Kumo decided to ally with Iwa to attack Konoha, so the peace treaty will be forgotten," continued the Hokage, which only caused more anguish and terror, not only Konoha would would be attacked, but Konoha would be alone against two great nations, one of them with which it was scheduled to sign a peace and collaboration treaty, it was simply an unfavorable scenario.
Inosuke Yamanaka stood up, asking to speak: "Nidaime, in the face of Kumo's betrayal, would it not be convenient to do the same? and ally ourselves with Kiri to face what the War brings us, they must have a desire to avenge the death of their Mizukage and Iwa's betrayal"-concluded the leader of the Yamanaka clan and took his seat again.
Tobirama let out a sigh, and turned his gaze towards Shikadai, who immediately proceeded to reply: "We already sent a message to the third Mizukage, however, being protected by the sea and so far from Iwa, Kiri has decided to fortify himself and move on to the defensive, they will not get involved in a war if it is not necessary, they also face the instability that represents the change of Kage so suddenly, that option is off the table"- concluded the Konoha strategist, to which the Yamanaka responded with a sigh of disappointment.
Seeing the reaction of the leaders, the second Hokage decided to release some information, hoping to revive the spirit of his people: "All is not lost yet, Sunagakure has not yet decided if he will intervene in the war or not, we have already sent word to the Kazekage, however, Iwa and Kumo have done the same, as our spies inform us, Suna has not given an answer to Iwa or Kumo, while for Konoha, Suna's answer was that they would not get involved at the moment "- The clan leaders began to murmur, this did not benefit them at all, the murmurs did not stop ringing in the room, until the Hokage spoke again - "although this is not an acceptance of an alliance, it lets us see that Suna is waiting to see how the conflict unfolds, and waiting for the right moment to decide to intervene, it is a fact that Konoha would be lost if Suna joined Iwa and Kumo, facing three great nations at once would be simply impossible, however, it is difficult for this happen, the Kazekage knows the reputation of the former Tsuchikage, who always betrays his allies after the alliance to obtain the spoils of war and it is his disciple who wears the Kage's hat now. Suna distrusts Iwa, and with Kumo's betrayal towards Konoha, Suna cannot trust Kumo either. If our shinobi forces manage to decimate even a little the alliance against Konoha, Suna will surely support Konoha, assuring him benefits after the war,"- concluded the Hokage.
The Leaders expression changed; a spark of hope finally came up. With Suna's support, the future was not doomed; victory was achievable. Iwa was going through the transition of power, and Kumo was divided by those who wanted the peace with Konoha, but their dream was lost so that a Civil War would not break out within their nation, and those who supported the gold and silver brothers. These brothers would surely be a problem since they left the Hokage months ago on the brink of death.
After all this, Sasuke, the jonin commander, finally spoke: "We do not know when the fight would start; Iwa had been plotting the siege for a long time, but it will take time for them to adjust their plans replacing Kiri for Kumo. Both nations must develop a new siege plan; this will give us time to prepare ourselves, protect our borders, and fortify the capital. The Daimyo's security and the Land of Fire must be a top priority; Konoha would not prevail without if they fall. We need an inventory of the available armament and the list of all the available shinobis, from genin to jounin, even ANBU's squads. The cruel reality of war is that we may lose many inexperienced shinobis on the battlefield; however, Konoha and the Land of Fire will need all shinobi at their disposal. One last thing, prepare your children because they are about to find out how cruel the shinobi world can be"
The expression of the leaders became one totally cold, serious of determination; they knew what was to come, what their children were about to face, but it was for the good of Konoha, whom they had sworn to protect and serve, they would protect her no matter what. For the future of generations to come, they had no choice; they had to win this war.
The Jonin council meetings kept going day after day for two weeks, while at the same time, the guard patrols were being formed at the borders, also trying to protect the roads that connected with Suna, hoping to keep the route available for when Suna decided to join them in the conflict. Their victory and survival depended on Suna, so keeping these routes protected was essential.
Six months later:
One morning in March, two attacks were happening at the same time on the borders of Konoha, Iwa was attacking across the border with the Country of Grass, while Kumo attacked two fronts on the border with the Country of Hot Springs, both cities became war zones, countries outside the conflict ended up destroyed.
** North of the border with the Country of Hot Springs **
The Kinkaku Army was led by the gold and silver brothers and formed by their sympathizers, along with other platoons led by shinobi loyal to the Raikage. They were in charge of carrying out the first blow by Kumo, there they ran into the Konoha squad led by the Second Hokage and his elite team (Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Danzo Shimura, Kagami Uchiha, and Torifu Akimichi). The higher-ups of Konoha knew that the greatest threat was Kumo, the Raikage had been in their position for years, and the military power was greater than that of Iwa, who was led by a newly appointed Kage, without experience in a conflict of such magnitude.
The gold and silver brothers did not expect to run into the Hokage so soon, they knew that this time it would not be so easy, they did not have the surprise factor on their side, and the Hokage was not alone, there were thousands of Konoha shinobi who were there, and the elite team of the Hokage had the fame that preceded them, the collaboration between them would be a problem, they had to act fast, or they would be in trouble.
Ginkaku: "Fate smiles at us brother, we will have the opportunity to finish what we started" - "This time we will not fail Hokage-dono, you will die at the hands of the brothers of gold and silver" - Kinkaku replied, while both let out a sinister laugh.
Koharu: "How dare you say such stupidity? We will make you pay for the betrayal you brought on our Hokage. You will regret the day you decided to attack Konoha" - "Don't be foolish Koharu, we must be careful, they are not just any enemy" - Homura reprimanded his partner - "Don't be a coward, Homura, it's our chance to kill this scum that calls itself shinobi" - "Enough, both of you! Koharu, Homura, and Saru will help me face the brothers. Kagami, Danzo, and Torifu take command of the rest of the squad, and get rid of the rest of the Kumo shinobi"- Tobirama ordered -"Nidaime, I can be of use to you, let me help ... "- Danzo could not finish speaking when the Hokage interrupted - "Do what you have been ordered Danzo, do not question my decisions, this is not the time to show off to me, go and support your comrades" - the authority in Tobirama's voice did not allow Danzo to debate him, he limited himself to nod - "as you command, Nidaime-sama" and withdrew with his companions to lead the squad against the Kumo shinobi.
The gold and silver brothers would go in full force from the start; they could not afford to waste much time with the Hokage; otherwise, they would be at a disadvantage. They both activated the demonic cloak of the Kyubi with two tails, which took by surprise the disciples of the Hokage. The brothers took advantage of the perplexed state they were in to go straight towards them, bypassing the Hokage.
Two orange beams of light passed on each side of the Hokage heading towards his disciples, Kinkaku was heading towards Koharu and Ginkaku towards Hiruzen. However, Tobirama teleported and, with a kick to the chest, sent Kinkaku flying while Hiruzen managed to evade Ginkaku's blow. At the same time, in a joint attack, Homura and Hiruzen beat him and threw him into a tree.
Both brothers lay apart, staring at their opponents in amazement and with a thirst for fighting, they knew that they would be worthy opponents and they would fight them, they would have fun with the prey in front of them, it was exciting.
"It seems that after all, the elite team of Hokage-dono is as good as claimed. Only a few shinobi would be able to evade an attack in our cloak form of the Kyubi" - Ginkaku praised the shinobi of Konoha.
The Hokage was evaluating the situation in his head, the most dangerous of the brothers was Kinkaku, in short, he himself would have to take care of Kinkaku "Saru, Homura, you will deal with Ginkaku, leave Kinkaku to Koharu and me" - ordered the Hokage, the shinobi nodded their heads, and with just a gesture from their sensei, they knew what they had to do, they both rushed towards Ginkaku. Meanwhile, the Hokage and Koharu rushed towards Kinkaku; they had to separate them, together they were too dangerous. By separating them, the chance of them using Rikudou Sennin's treasures was meager, as they would depend on each other to complete the curse.
# # # # # # #
Before the war started, the Second Hokage had had a meeting with all the squad leaders, as well as his personal team, informed his shinobi about the danger posed by the gold and silver brothers, about their abilities, and about the fact that they had 4 of the 5 treasures of the Rikudou Sennin. He explained to them in detail how each of the treasures worked; if a squad crossed with them, they would know how to deal with them. 3 of them were no big deal since they work altogether, and the perdition depended on if the shinobi "cursed" by kokinjo did not say the word that tied him to shichiseiken. As long as this did not happen, he would be safe from being absorbed by benihisago; the only treasure that was totally offensive and highly dangerous was bashosen; however, the Hokage did not know which of the brothers possessed it, so they had to be extremely careful in case the brothers decided to use the treasures.
# # # # # # #
The shinobis from Konoha had concentrated on provoking each of the brothers and evading them until they were far enough apart that neither of them could come to the other's aid. While, on the other hand, the shinobis from Konoha had the advantage of having the Nidaime Hokage, who had the hiraishin no jutsu. The Hokage had marked all his disciples; if necessary, he could teleport to help his students.
By the time the brothers realized how far they were from each other, it was too late, the fight was about to start, only one thing passed through the thoughts of both brothers These damn Konoha shinobi, now we will not be able to use the treasures of the rikudou sennin - at least I have bashosen, it will be useful against the Hokage Kinkaku thought, and let out a slight mocking laugh.
Hiruzen wasted no time. He did not intend to allow Ginkaku to be the first to attack, he made a series of hand seals and exclaimed: Katon: Karyū Endan. Hiruzen inhaled forcefully while he inflated his chest, and as he expelled all the inhaled wind, a great ball of fire shot out with such power that Ginkaku was being pushed while protecting himself; Hiruzen did not stop inhaling that intense flame, which began to penetrate the Kyuubi's mantle and burn Ginkaku's skin, who had no choice but to increase the demonic cloak from 2 to 4 tails, to deflect Hiruzen's Katon, who stopped his flame instantly and fixing his gaze on his opponent. Ginkaku, on the other hand, was extremely annoyed, as he yelled: "You must be the boy of the clan Sarutobi, only the Sarutobi Clan rivals the Uchiha Clan with the Katon Jutsus, and that one was an impressive, but it will not be enough"- Ginkaku's voice showed his anger and frustration; having to resort to the use of 4 tails of the Kyubi's chakra - "The Hokage was smart in selecting the son of the legendary Sasuke Sarutobi as his ward, but we will see how good you are. No matter what, you will die today, boy" - Ginkaku launched himself towards Hiruzen while infusing his sword in lightning element to increase the damage inflicted by the sword; when he was about to strike Hiruzen, Ginkaku couldn't help but see a small smile on his face, which made him remember that there was another shinobi with him, and he couldn't see him now anywhere, that's when Homura emerged from the ground right in front of Hiruzen and with a black katana (which in later years, he would give to his pupil Raido Namiashi), with which Homura aimed at Ginkaku's torso, he managed to dodge it successfully, without first releasing frustration shriek. Once more, he had been unable to touch them; he was furious. Homura jumped to stand beside Hiruzen, they both looked at each other, and as if reading minds, they nodded.
# # # # # # # #
For some reason, when Raido Namiashi attacked kakuzu with the black sword in Naruto's manga, Kakuzu seemed surprised, so I decided to consider this type of sword as something special, capable of cutting even diamond, justifying the surprise of Kakuzu and helping this to make Ginkaku see the sword as a threat.
# # # # # # # #
Ginkaku couldn't be more surprised; It seemed that not only the Sarutobi boy was talented but also the shinobi with glasses; he had a black sword after all. He would have to be more careful; that sword could penetrate his skin even with the maximum tails he can use (a 6-tailed cape like the one seen in Naruto's manga). This would be tricky. In short, the Hokage's elite team was a worthy rival.
Hiruzen proceeded to bite his thumb to make it bleed; instantly, Ginkaku noticed it; he knew it would be a summoning. That would only make the fight even more annoying; he did not need anyone else intervening in it. He took a big leap and went towards both shinobi; he manipulated the chakra of the demonic mantle to generate extensions of his hands in the shape of claws, which took both shinobi by surprise. Kinkaku threw Homura, who hit his back against a tree destroyed by the impact force; While for Hiruzen, Ginkaku managed to catch him by one leg while trying to jump to escape the silver brother's attack. Ginkaku held him head-on in front of him while saying: "this is the end, boy, your partner is unconscious, and you won't be able to get rid of me." Ginkaku punched Hiruzen's stomach, leaving him gasping for air. Hiruzen was trying to figure out how to free himself from the demon in front of him; the amount of chakra he possessed was inhuman, the power to handle the Kyuubi's chakra at will was to be admired, if so only Homura would react, they could have a solution if Homura used "that" - another punch from Ginkaku in Hiruzen's chest suffocating him and causing him immense pain. Finally, Ginkaku released Hiruzen, ready to finish him. He drew his sword again; this time, without the lightning element embedded in it, it was not necessary. Its prey was defenseless, a simple cut, and it would separate the head from his body. He would give it to the Hokage as a gift when he could join his brother; he would go there immediately. While Ginkaku was preparing to give his last blow, a giant shuriken followed by several kunai came towards Ginkaku, who had to jump back to avoid them since they took him by surprise. Ginkaku turned around, surprised towards Homura, who was holding a scroll with an open seal with both hands, from which the shurikens and kunai had emanated. Homura had blood running from his mouth, and he was breathing agitatedly. You could tell that he was enduring immense pain. However, he would not let his friend die in front of his eyes, not without fighting.
"You didn't think you had gotten rid of me already, right? It may not seem like it, but it won't be so easy for you to kill me, after all, I'm a disciple of Shodaime-sama and Nidaime-sama" - Homura exclaimed with a mocking smile while He was breathing with difficulty - "I will dismember you both so that your precious Hokage can have something of you to remember you" - Ginkaku shouted, extremely angry.
Hiruzen rejoined and, without wasting time, finished his jutsu "Ninpo: Kuchiyose no Jutsu" - a cloud of smoke appeared and as it dissipated, it was possible to visualize a huge monkey, taller than Hiruzen himself, Ginkaku let out a spark of anger - "So the Silver brother Ginkake, what a mess you've brought me to Hiruzen, but it will be fun to face a descendant of Rikudou Sennin. At your signal, Hiruzen" - the monkey spoke respectfully to Hiruzen, and helped him to his feet, he replied - "Please Enma, transform yourself into the diamond cane" - Enma nodded - "Henge" - exclaimed and turned into a black cane, with yellow tips, Hiruzen took it and replied - "It is time to put us Seriously, Homura, how many seals of Mito-sama do you have available? " - "I only have 2. The rest are with Hokage-sama and Kagami," - Homura replied - "We must make sure not to waste them. Otherwise, we will be finished," - Hiruzen replied.

Taking up Tobirama's meeting with the Konoha shinobi to inform them about the danger of the gold and silver brothers. Tobirama had a special meeting with his disciples; he hoped that the Kinkaku army would be part of the advance squad due to its destructive power. So he decided they would be at the most logical point of the first attack according to the analysis and strategy of Shikadai Nara. He asked his sister-in-law, Mito Uzumaki, to give them a way to suppress the Kyuubi's chakra to diminish the brothers' superhuman strength. Being Mito from a clan expert in fuinjutsu, it was a simple thing. She also knew how the Kyuubi's chakra worked; after all, she was the true jinchuriki. The brothers only possessed a fraction of the Kyuubi's chakra. Mito Uzumaki gave Homura, Tobirama, and Kagami a series of seals to suppress the Kyubi's chakra. They were the best in the use of Fuinjutsu of Tobirama's elite team,
# # # # # # # #
The silver brother took a fighting stance, emanating a large amount of chakra. He performed a series of manual seals: "Raiton: Sandāboruto" - spheres of pure electricity shooting errant rays appeared in his hands, he took a great leap and landed near Both shinobi hit the ground with both hands, generating a shock wave with electrical energy, which reached the Konoha shinobi, paralyzing them, enveloping them in a series of blue rays, generating not only paralysis but incredible pain in their bodies. Ginkaku was addressing Hiruzen, and he was the one who represented the biggest threat for him. Once He had finished the boy from the Sarutobi clan, his partner would be easy prey.
Hiruzen and Homura struggled to free themselves from the Silver Brother's Jutsu, but nothing seemed to work. Until Enma, taking the will of her own body transformed into a staff, sped towards Hiruzen before the Silver Brother reached him, gave a light blow to his master, strong enough to free him from his paralysis. However, he did not have time to free Homura, and Hiruzen already had Ginkaku in front of him; he managed to defend himself from his attack using the diamond staff. They began a taijutsu fight. Neither of them managed to land a blow on their opponent; Ginkaku defended himself and evaded all Hiruzen's blows, despite the great speed he had; while Hiruzen managed to defend himself from Ginkaku's blows while maintaining enough distance through the staff, he would not let Ginkaku get close enough to inflict damage on him, he had to find an opening to free Homura.
Finally, Hiruzen managed to land a blow with the staff in Ginkaku's abdomen; immediately, Enma extended as much as possible to drive away from the silver brother, giving his master time to act. Hiruzen created two Kage Bunshin, sending one to freeing Homura. He kept the second close to him. Hiruzen realized that the staff was no longer in contact with Ginkaku; he had freed himself. The silver brother was heading towards them. Enma returned to his original size, while Homura and the clone of Hiruzen were returning to his side; it was a formation of 4 (Hiruzen and his two clones, along with Homura), they had to find a way to immobilize Ginkaku long enough to place the seal of Mito-sama and suppress the Kyubi's chakra.
Ginkaku arrived with a jump, landing right in front of the shinobi, who instantly dispersed surrounding Kumo's shinobi. The 4 made a series of manual seals and immediately placed their hands on the ground; a series of letters emerged from their hands and heading towards Ginkaku through the ground. Ginkaku did not have time to jump. A series of circles formed on the ground with Ginkaku in the center. Homura created a Bunshin, which took one of Mito-sama's seals, while the original kept his position, keeping Ginkaku immobile. The bunshin jumped to position himself in front of the silver brother, to place the seal on his chest - "With this that exorbitant chakra that you possess will be sealed, you will no longer be a threat, and you will be lost" - Homura muttered with a slightly mocking smile on his face, the silver brother angered. He would not allow his Kyubi chakra to be sealed. Emanating a huge amount of chakra generated a shock wave that dispersed the clones of Homura and Hiruzen, which released him from their Jutsu. There was something different about him, not only had the number of tails increased in his Kyuubi form, but now the mantle was not a transparent chakra, Ginkaku's image was of a red tone of blood, radiating heat and an immense chakra, it had the ears of the kyubi, and its eyes were totally white, now it had 6 tails.
This was bad, now they only had one seal available to suppress the Kyubi's chakra, and Ginkaku had shown his most powerful form.
Ginkaku raised his head, and began to concentrate an immense amount of chakra in his mouth, solidified, taking the shape of a sphere; it was a bijudama. They would not be able to survive if they received that attack. They had to be careful; Ginkaku was preparing to launch the bijudama to the Konoha shinobi. Hiruzen acted at once and placed Enma beside him, who remained upright on the ground in his staff form, despite not being held by his master. Hiruzen performed a series of seals manuals: "Doton: Doryuu taiga" a river of mud emerged, striking the full force of the river on Ginkaku, who was able to resist the current and avoid being swept away; however, Hiruzen's jutsu had managed to destabilize him, causing him to deflect his attack, the bijudama shot out, passing a few meters from Homura, and advanced destroying all the trees in its path until finally, it exploded. The shock wave generated reached where they were, and the explosion was seen from afar. Tobirama knew at that moment that his disciples were facing Ginkaku with all their might. He knew that they would survive; they had to.
Without being distracted by what was happening, the moment Ginkaku released the bijudama, Hiruzen again made a series of manual seals: "Doton Doryuudan," the origin of the river of mud took the form of the head of a dragon, which it opened its jaws and began firing mud missiles towards the silver brother, this time the silver brother was pushed back and was recoiling from the constant impact of the mud missiles.
Homura made a sign to Hiruzen, who nodded in agreement. Homura again drew his black sword and launched himself towards Ginkaku while Hiruzen still maintained his jutsu. Hiruzen stopped his jutsu as soon as Homura was in position above Ginkaku. Ginkaku, blinded by the mud missiles, overlooked Homura, who managed to cut him from his shoulder to his chest. The silver brother screamed in pain. Then, Homura kicked the silver brother's chest, right where he had just cut, throwing him back. While this was happening, Hiruzen had made 4 clones, which followed Ginkake when he was sent away. They placed themselves in position, each of them made a series of different manual seals; the Five inhaled air by inflating their chest; however, when releasing the jutsu, each of them released a high-level jutsu of each of the 5 elements (fire, water, earth, lightning, and wind), all directed at a single objective: Ginkaku. Ginkaku was unable to evade the jutsu that came from all directions, received the blow of the 5 jutsus; at that moment, Enma flew out in the direction of Ginkaku, he arrived just as his master released the jutsus that he was shooting at the silver brother. The impact was too much for Ginkaku, even in his 6-tailed form. Enma multiplied and generated a cage with his clones around Ginkaku, making for the silver brother impossible to move. Hiruzen exclaimed: "Now is our opportunity Homura" - "I know!" - replied his friend, who launched himself towards Ginkaku. The silver brother did not stop struggling to try in vain to free himself from Enma's prison; after all, in his staff form, Enma was as hard as diamond, it would not be so easy for the silver brother to free himself from such a prison. Homura took the remaining seal from Mito-sama and placed it on Ginkaku's chest. Immediately, the Kyuubi's chakra began to fade, the tails disappeared, and in the end, only Ginkaku remained in his human form, who would not stop cursing the Konoha shinobi.
After a fierce battle, they had finally managed to defeat the silver brother. They had him, prisoner, at their mercy, now there was only one question: what would they do with him?
"Do you want me to crush him to death Hiruzen?" - Asked the monkey to his master, still transformed into a staff, only one eye could be seen on the original staff, from which the voice emanated - "Not yet, we must get as much information as possible, it could be useful to counterattack Kumo, we could tip the balance in our favor "-" as you wish "- replied the monkey.
"It would be best to kill him at once, Hiruzen. We will be able to interrogate any other squad leader that we manage to catch. Keeping the silver brother alive is too dangerous "- Homura commented to his partner -" Only someone of such high rank as the gold and silver brothers will have the most important information regarding Kumo's war strategy "- Hiruzen emphasized -" we must meet with Hokage-sama, he will decide what to do with Ginkaku "- Hiruzen continued, his partner let out a resigned sigh, he just nodded.
Homura took out a scroll, spread it on the floor, made a series of manual seals and placed his hand on it, injecting his chakra into the seal that was on the parchment, a vessel-shaped container appeared in front of him - "Enma -san, please release Ginkaku into this urn "- Homura removed the lid of the vessel while keeping one of her hands with a seal, keeping the flow of his chakra towards the vessel. Enma made his clones disappear, letting the silver brother fall into the vessel. In that instant, the lid returned to its position, keeping Ginkaku trapped inside - "I will need your help to contain Ginkaku, despite having sealed his Kyubi chakra, the silver brother's chakra reserves are incredible, I don't know if I will be able to contain the seal until We get to Nidaime-sama." - Hiruzen nodded, approached his partner's sealing vessel, performed a series of manual seals and placed both hands on the vessel, infusing his chakra into it - "This will be enough to contain it" - Homura only nodded at his partner's comment, then he proceeded to take the pot and carry it on his back, it was time to return to his teacher.
Before leaving, Enma returned to taking his monkey form - "Thank you very much for everything Enma, now you can rest, although surely I will need you again in this war" - "And I will answer your call, we are faithful to the Sarutobi clan, you are a worthy representative of this, and of your father, only the two of you have been able to summon me directly, call me when you need me "- replied the monkey king, who instantly disappeared leaving a cloud of smoke.
Both shinobi left, heading towards where their master was. It was not difficult to know where to go; the Kyubi chakra could feel it even without being sensor-type ninjas, in addition to all the explosions that came from that same area where it came from. The Kyuubi's chakra was more violent than those of the rest that could perceive. In short, the fight of the Hokage and Koharu against Kinkaku was very violent. Hiruzen hoped that the rest of his companions were safe while they faced Kumo.
