They arrived at the base within a few days to find the entrance to which Naruto pulled out a ring, (he might have taken it from Kakazu before his death). He put the ring on his left hand finger as he had lost his right to Sasuke.

When Naruto tapped the wall with the ring, it opened to reveal the surviving members of Konoha 11 and their Senseis (excluding Sakura), the Kazekage Gaara, Tsunade.

-A few days ago-

Naruto activated his sage mode and sensed the chakra of his comrades and friends all around the area. He realised that he was going to lose, he wasn't that big of an idiot, Sasuke has six paths power and 8.5 tails power.

Naruto rushed to different areas putting up letters to tell them the location of the base of Akatsuki. He knew Sasuke would kill the Kages so he gave a letter to Tsunade and Gaara praying that they could save the others.

He gave another ring of akatsuki, he 'found' to shikamaru, the lazy genius might be able to deduce how to enter the base.

When Naruto had lost, Sasuke was able to cut off his right hand. The hand had some chakra from Kurama, six paths chakra and more, which Sasuke used to awaken the infinite Tsukuyomi.

Sasuke was extremely weakened as even if Naruto had less power, he put up a good fight.

Naruto's rasengan at the time wasn't powerful enough as he didn't have much chakra left so Naruto's rasengan was cut through as Sasuke still had most of his chakra.

As it went through the rasengan, it went through Naruto's arm, cutting it clean off and sending both flying down to the ground.

Sasuke got up, weakened and tired, pulling out a kunai and walking slowly towards Naruto. He got near to Naruto, the intent kill obvious in his mad eyes and his mouth curling into a smile.

He was about to stab Naruto but suddenly he was sent flying back in a bit of white smoke.

Kakashi Hatake had arrived. He gave a sideways glance to Sasuke before disappearing in a puff of smoke with Naruto.

Sasuke gets up, he smiles cruelly and madly, and begins laughing. That idiot thought that he could save Naruto but by now he was too late, Naruto would die, the wounds would kill him and plus he didn't need Naruto.

He looked around and found Naruto's arm lying on the ground, he smiled, grabbing the arm without a care and activating the jutsu needed as it still had enough Chakra from the kyuubi and Hagoromo to serve his purpose.

He used Naruto's arm, the chakra of the other tailed beasts and the rinnegan to awaken the people in the infinite Tsukuyomi before the chakra left Naruto's arm. When it did, he threw the arm away as though it was worthless.

He began to walk towards where the Kage most likely was and came across a familiar pink haired shinobi.

He wondered what he was going to do with her when suddenly he came up with a plan to use her for his goals.

Sasuke would convince her that Naruto and Kakashi tried to kill him and he defended himself from them. Sakura would believe him without a doubt and he can use her to convince the others to join them.

He picked Sakura up and carried her towards where the other kage were.

He was going to deal with them before they could escape to their little villages.

'This would work wonderfully' thought Sasuke as a small smile appeared on Sasuke's lips.

-end of this thing, I guess-

"Naruto, why are we here?" asked Ino looking at the base around her of the group that had tried to kidnap her friend.

"To stop Sasuke, " deadpanned Naruto to which Kakashi sighed at his student's bluntness.

"B-but isn't Sasuke a good guy again?" asked Ino confused but her confusion was justified unlike Sakura who has been there for every step of the journey.

"No, he has gone mad, he planned to kill Gaara and Baa-chan, he planned to become a god, to rule this world unchallenged," said Naruto coughing between each of his statements much to sadness of those around him " I tried to stop him, but he had the power of eight tailed beasts, and half of Kurama, so I came up with a plan, a back-up,"

"What plan, Naruto-kun?" asked Hinata, voicing most of their concerns except the genius and Naruto's sensei who knew the plan.

"We are going to restart the Akatsuki," said Naruto, not even sugar coating his words to which many people looked shocked. Naruto can be a patient person so he waited for the complaints to come in.

"Naruto, didn't they try to kill you?" asked Choji, voicing their concerns.

"Yes but the akatsuki once stood for peace, but sadness drove them to this, as is our purpose much like Yahiko, to find peace, but also to fight for it," said Naruto, before coughing some more, much to the concern of his friends.

Shikamaru finally spoke up "What do you need us to do, Naruto?".

"Shikamaru, begin work on our expenses and our tactics, Tenten, our weapons, the rest of you find those cool cloaks and rings and find me a white kitsune mask (think of menma's mask), Baa-chan can you make me an arm?" said Naruto slowly to which each member nodded.

"But won't Sasuke hurt our families and even if we give up on them, won't you feel bad for the pain they will get?" asked Ino, voicing many a concerns.

" Sasuke most likely believes Naruto is dead from his wounds and he thinks we would go rogue without interacting with our families, also many of our families are dead," said Shikamaru before looking down sadly as did all.

"Wait, where's Sakura?" asked Ino, scared for her friend.

"Don't worry about her, if she found out about this, some sweet talk from Sasuke would reveal everything," said Naruto " Sasuke will need her to convince everyone what better than a war hero,"

"Remember, we will only kill those deserving and save this world from Sasuke's corrupted ideals," said Naruto "We have to be the driving force for change out of compassion, not force"

All agreed with Naruto, smiling at how much their friend had grown. The moment was only ruined by Naruto deciding that now was the best time to faint.
