Bye.
Dodging to the side, Menma forced chakra into his brittle fists before they slammed into the spear's edge.
Remaining unperturbed by the lacerations he was gaining, the Uzumaki sprinted forward, as he grasped the weapon strongly.
Deciding to scan his adversary, he examined their features, callous and unfeeling, their most discernible trait were the baleful crimson eyes, which observed him calmly.
Airily, Menma flickered behind him before exhaling slightly. Dealing with opponents, which he couldn't recognize, was becoming rather annoying.
The outline and now this.
Carefully, Menma crouched as the spear-wielder span before leaping upwards, near their face. "Who the heck are you?" He composedly slammed his knee into their skull.
Unaffected by the move, the opponent opened their mouth and informed. "Kisune. Follower of Lord Kurama. The ruler of the 9 humanoid monsters."
Confusedly, Menma eyed him, with his mind working to evaluate the information granted. "Are the Tailed Beasts humans or something?"
"Well, this Kisune isn't lying."
"Okay," Menma started, rubbing his hair musingly. "Why are you fighting me anyway?"
Kisune growled monstrously, pointing the spear towards Menma, with unwariness. "Lord Kurama's presence resides inside you."
"My lord's last contract was 10-12 years ago. Meaning you are required to return what was stolen."
Bellowing gutturally, Kisune raced forward, slashing Menma's abdomen instantly. "When a contractor dies. Lord Kurama regains his energy."
"Of course, losing a small amount of chakra isn't anything for him, he could eliminate the nations easily if he desired." Kisune grinned threateningly, his pupils satisfactorily watching. "Appreciate his mercifulness."
Menma silently stared at the damage before speedily lifting the t-shirt, which he was wearing. "Matatabi, his presence is changing again."
Kisune darted in front of the Uzumaki, raising his weapon and sailing it towards Menma's neck. "He's too quick."
Pitilessly, Menma's purple eyes snapped into a deadly, ruthless yellow. Matatabi's silhouette grew behind him.
Immediately, Menma used his enhanced limbs to grab the spear until Kisune faded, and a claret shrouded his sights.
(-)
Menma stared towards the distinguishable and recognizable entity. Kurama, of the new timeline, grinned sharply, amusedly watching.
Once again, acerbically intelligent crimson spheres greeted him, and Kurama sauntered forward, his existence itself forcing Menma to stop moving.
Humming, Kurama eyed him blandly, his fire-brick spheres glimmering with an uncompassionate aura. "I detect no contracts between us. A presence resembling my own is resting in you."
"I never expected my chakra to remain inside someone without becoming aware of it and yet, the 2-tails' energy is in your pupils."
Blurring, Kurama stood in front of Menma as the earth around them distorted. Before entering the Uzumaki's seal completely.
The humanoid ruler laughed slightly, he span towards Menma, who remained noiseless through the ordeal. "Concealing them won't work."
Composedly, Menma nodded before Matatabi's form came into conspicuousness. Kurama –Humanoid- examined the beast, and smiled with certainty.
"It appears the source of this similar chakra is deeper inside and it appears I can't enter."
Shrugging, Menma gestured towards the gate, separating him from the Tailed-Beast Kurama, and answered. "Furball's still asleep, unfortunately."
"Well, allow me to attempt something," Lifting up a hand, Kurama's –Humanoid- chakra floated into Menma before surging wildly. "Interesting."
Both of Menma's eyes changed, the yellow became more powerful and the other crimson, but only momentarily.
Kurama exhaled in an unbothered manner, shaking his head. "A shame. I can't make a contract with you. Another failed method for me to be entertained."
Escaping the seal, Kurama clasped his hands before disappearing and Menma's stare blurred again.
(-)
"Okay, ya bastard!" Naruto energetically yelled, forming a small, skilful sphere of chakra before grinning winningly. "Rasengan!"
Obito shot behind Naruto, grabbing the edge of his clothes and throwing him skywards. "Now, for a place where we can train properly."
Springing up, Obito and Naruto faded into the Kamui's Earth, until the supposed Naruto dispelled the Rasengan and dispersed.
"A shadow clone…Seriously?!"
(-)
Naruto laughed internally, after regaining the clone's recollection of what happened. "Hah. Bastard. 0. Naruto 1."
When they were ordered to return to Konoha in 4 months, the Uchiha started showing Naruto, the Rasengan, and Naruto was affiliated deeply with this technique.
He learned and mastered the Rasengan in an hour. Of course, it was his specialty before coming to another timeline and earth.
Sauntering through the town, which resided near Sunakagure's borders, Naruto remembered a specific place from when he was 16 and before the war and all.
Unwarily, Naruto flickered into a window of a boringly designed accommodation. "Huh…This was the place Kakashi-Sensei rented. Icha. Icha. Paradise. Was being distributed in this town firstly."
Grinning, Naruto side-flipped, dodging Obito's swinging arms. "Why the heck are you in this?"
"No reason," He responded childishly, racing towards the window and crashing through it before it shattered. "Damn."
Naruto fell into the Kamui Earth before shrugging. "Oh, well."
It was time for some training.
(-)
Sasuke grabbed a mask from the shelf before placing it onto himself. Distantly humming, he ambled towards the cashier.
"Alone?" Mr. Cashier asked conversationally, grasping a bag for the mask, after Sasuke removed it completely. "Or are you with someone?"
"With someone," Sasuke aloofly responded, while appearing partially amiable, which failed, badly. "I'm waiting for them to return."
Nodding, Mr. Cashier handed the bag to Sasuke, who slid the coins towards the desk. The Uchiha glanced out of the door before noticing it was starting to rain, quite deeply.
"It'd be better if ya stayed inside," Mr. Cashier drawled, staring towards the moistened glass, which was sullied, partly. "I'm gonna need to rub that soon, damn."
Sighing, Sasuke eyed Mr. Cashier, before wearing the mask, and sped away with unnatural quickness. Mr. Cashier only noticed a large cloth over the windows.
Leaning against the door. Mr. Cashier smirked, inwardly murmuring. "He better recheck the bag." Before raising 2 fingers and radiating energy.
"Stay safe, kid."
(-)
Sasuke approached a roof-top with his mask, and crumpled the bag into his pockets before scanning the area. "No presences. Most are near the centre."
Darting forward. Sasuke distorted, entering another shop, slightly dampened. "Now for the Bingo Books."
Nearing the shelves, Sasuke sprinted his finger along the titles, scouring for the desired items. Until he accidentally toppled a row of. Icha. Icha. Paradise books.
"Now. Calm yourself," A discernibly lazy voice remarked. Before a hand grasped one of the fallen items. "Children. Can never appreciate good literature."
"Kakashi?" Sasuke mentally realized, scrutinizing his master with calculated confusion. "Well, I shall speak with him in Konoha, once I reach the place."
The Uchiha flickered along the area, and felt the mask being removed easily. "I can't show myself now." He composedly decided.
Sasuke channelled chakra into his heels and whizzed skywards, becoming imperceptible.
He reached another structure-top and shot towards the Casino, where Tsunade and Shizune were wasting the resources he obtained.
He barely cared, but still.
Rushing through the crowds of people, Sasuke's form was indistinguishable, and he opened the Casino's gates before entering.
Sasuke breathed deeply, frigidly recalling Kakashi's respectable efforts in the war,
(-)
Menma's eyes dimmed lifelessly. His blue chakra robes laughing with deadliness. He moved forward, once before stopping.
Obito raised a hand, as the earth around them all cracked. Menma grinned callously, yellow eyes humming with strength.
"Matatabi. I'm grateful you would be sealed in me too keep me alive."
"Of course."
"Madara's. Planetary. Devastation." Obito ruthlessly announced. His hand then sank onto the surface before heartlessly whispering. "Kamui."
Kakashi was limply slumped against the pile of boulders. His single eye watching the Uchiha unaffectedly. "I can't die. I can't allow others to battle while I'm resting."
Obito aimed the Kamui in Kakashi's path, the Hatake was preparing to dodge but the damage he was granted surged through him, speedily.
Until an array of markings whistled themselves into existence. Naruto appeared in front of Kakashi, with Sasuke, whose Rinnegan shone in activation.
Menma catapulted himself skywards, extending the blue chakra into hands to shatter the rubble nearing him.
Spinning, Menma's Tailed-Beast enhanced fists crashed into the floating sphere, he watched it crumble before pummelling it forcefully.
"Sealing Chains: Spike," His hand glimmered with aura before his chains formed, slashing unyieldingly at the hovering orb, its spiked edge effortlessly lacerating anything near. "Damn. I'm falling."
"Wind Style: Gale Palms."
Shooting himself upwards, Menma swivelled, and unleashed his chains before mumbling. "Sealing Chains."
Wrapping the, reduced in size, floating orb in the chains, Menma darted towards the surface before clasping his hands. "Matatabi. Are you prepared?"
"Anytime."
Grinning, Menma's and Matatabi's chakra combined briefly and then separated. "Tailed-Beasts' Coalition."
The Two-Tails' arm formed around Menma, who was becoming used to the giant limb, which required good control to wield.
Slamming the arm into the sizable ball, Menma's Sealing Chains dissipated as the Uzumaki shattered the sphere with difficulty.
Naruto nodded to Sasuke, who faded into the distance. "Now. Ya bastard!" Naruto grabbed a Kunai and tossed it sky-wards.
Calmly, Obito, using both Sharingans, one which he reclaimed from Kakashi, coalesced the whirling energy of his Kamui, bringing the Kunai into another realm.
Blurring, Naruto appeared behind Obito before spinning, sending a kick to his head, only for the Uchiha to leap upwards.
The earth's atmosphere shattered as a pale arm reached towards Obito, he nodded in inward agreeance before slicing the appendage.
Naruto reappeared behind him, mid-air, and rocketed forward, with a Gale Palm, before snatching the pale limb. "What was he planning with this?"
Hurriedly, Naruto entered Sage Mode, and crushed the arm effortlessly. Dropping to the terrain, the Uzumaki amassed wind chakra into a Rasengan quickly.
"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
With indifference, Obito continued falling, the Rasenshuriken soaring through his leg before he strongly sighed.
Deactivating Kamui after, Obito's hand clenched. As a surge of unnaturally, and delicately, formed around the area. "Susano'."
"Sorry."
Then, unexpectedly, Menma's sarcastic voice was heard, heaving Matatabi's arm, and crashing into Obito's Susano', dispersing it speedily.
Obito instantly dissipated into the Kamui Earth, only to feel the 2 stares of Naruto and Kakashi, the former twirling the Hiraishin Kunai between his fingers.
"Sorry Kakashi-Sensei, I could only seal ya damage. It's gonna return, hurting more than before."
Unbothered, Kakashi gave his pupil a composed assurance. "I'm aware, stay wary."
Grinning with a relentless exuberance, Naruto's chakra rushed into the outside, with a silhouette appearing near him, confusingly. "Old-Sage-Geezer wanted me to give ya something."
His eyes were fixed onto Obito, who unemotionally blurred. Kakashi grabbed his other hand before chanting. "Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon!"
Distorting his own form, the Hatake and Uchiha met with 2 Kunai's hissing at each-other's edges. Scoffing quietly, Obito's leg swam towards Kakashi, with the latter's sphere shutting.
Opening them, Kakashi leaned to the side, grasping Obito's leg, he enhanced his hand with chakra, cracking it, with unsparingness.
"Fire Style: Fire-…"
Immediately, Naruto stood in between them, his pupils emanating a, calmingly, peaceful energy. "Sage's kid was me, or something."
Chakra hummed in Naruto's body before bellowing, forcing Obito away, while Kakashi prepared himself. Scowling inconspicuously, Obito darted forward.
"This aura…" The Uchiha inspected Naruto's brightly, scintillating outline. "It's dissimilar to the Kyuubi's, when was he able to obtain this?"
Wiping his lips, Naruto internally whispered, with determination. "Boil Style: Rasenshuriken."
"A Kekei Genkai, huh?"
Obito shook his head amusedly. He faded into his Kamui, and returned to the normal Earth, where Sasuke and Menma resided.
Once again, there was a hiss of baleful chakra as the seals were dispelled by its strength. Leading for Naruto and Kakashi to remain in another realm, annoyingly.
"The 10-Tails," Obito realized, hastening towards the Keppel-chakra encircled Menma, with warmth protruding from his finger. "Fire Style: Disappearance."
Menma calmly stood, a certain superiority growing in his stance, as Sasuke responded, his own hand mumbling with aura. "Fire Style: Higher Warmth."
Both hand-usage techniques blasted at the other, unrelentingly scorching. Menma formed behind Obito before fisting his skull skilfully.
"Damn," Obito blurred away from them, and his Kamui steered Kakashi into his hand, the Hatake's neck being threatened. "Give up, now."
Kakashi grimly connected his fingers, a Shadow Clone grew behind them until it clutched Obito's arms. Kakashi –real-, instantly chanted. "While you'd still be able to disperse, I'm going to stop the ability."
Sliding a Kunai into his hand, Kakashi span, and Obito, who was dealing with the Shadow Clone, snapped his head towards the real Kakashi before his Sharingan –Kakashi's one- was stabbed.
Unfeelingly rubbing his slashed eye, Obito clicked his tongue, whizzing towards Kakashi and spewed. "Kakashi, you are simply unable to understand hatred, sadly."
"No Obito, it's you, who is-…"
The Uchiha ruthlessly shot by and eliminated Kakashi in seconds, with the Hatake merely glancing towards his students, raising a Kunai encouragingly.
Obito's arm quickly flew to a pile of boulders, as Kakashi simply nodded, crashing into a separate one. His Kunai stayed in his grasps.
Kakashi Hatake stumblingly stood up, the composure in his pupils were unmatched by the other Shinobi, and he moved his thumb skywards.
"Menma. Naruto. Sasuke. See ya later. And this time. All of you are going to be late!"
He fully fell.
Menma and Sasuke silently sauntered. Menma's mouth opened with deadly graveness. "Guess we are. Kakashi-Sensei."
"Amaterasu."
Sasuke blurred with Menma as Obito's only orb widened, he could feel their callousness, which merely made him smile emotionlessly. "You witnessed his fall, give in to the Infinite Tsukiyomi and he shall return."
"I'm good," Menma lifelessly whispered, forming a blue-spiked chain, sailing it towards Obito's other arm easily. "And you won't be returning."
Dodging Sasuke's endless fire, Obito's body became physically imperceptible, Menma's Matatabi-Chakra made chain driving through him completely.
Menma's irises noticed Sasuke's indiscernible nod before he rocketed forward, another chain shaping from his hand. With Sasuke grabbing it carefully.
The Uchiha hurled himself at the single-eyed battler, using the chain as his method, Sasuke's Rinnegan glowered before Obito and he faded, appearing in the other's spots.
Drilling his punch into Obito's face, Menma rushed towards the Uchiha, who used Kamui until Naruto's Rasenshuriken deeply grazed his stomach.
"Obito, you're losing quite badly," A barbarically amused Madara remarked, flourishing with the Ten-Tails' aura. "Well, you're unrequired now."
Menma decided to charge up the Tailed-Beasts' Bomb, as Madara flew skywards, with Menma distorting his shape, appearing near Madara and fisting him, sending him away.
The crimson-haired Uzumaki sighed slightly before noticing numerous lacerations and a fading energy. It appeared Madara was able to damage him efficiently.
"Still, Kakashi's death shall be respected," Sasuke apathetically extended his Sharingan's sights, before his orbs expanded in scrutiny. "Obito's escaping."
"Nope," Menma darted upwards before connecting his fingers. "Okay."
Menma exhaled diminutively. Raising his shirt to observe the seal, the Uzumaki separated his fingers before, and instantly, his hands grabbed it with seriousness.
"Menma. What are you planning?"
"Please, I need all trustfulness you can lend for this."
"Of course."
He smiled with genuineness before his seal span, his abdomen glimmered with blue chakra and Menma quieted a yell from the searing feel he obtained.
Matatabi coalesced into the Earth before Menma, who, using his limited life-force, keeping him alive, formed a Hiraishin seal onto himself as Naruto, detecting something, appeared.
"Thanks- Oi, Menma!" Naruto, who was currently floating, grabbed Menma from falling, and glanced towards Matatabi confusedly. "The heck happened?!"
"Naruto," Menma disregarded his damage, and requested slowly. "Could you give me the small bits of chakra of Matatabi, who's inside you now?"
"Sure," Naruto answered hurriedly, sending the chakra into Menma's seal with carefulness. "Matatabi, can you explain of what the heck's happening, please?"
Matatabi, who was still unsure, merely shrugged, creating a small hurricane.
Menma simply grinned intelligently before completing the new seal. "Okay, it's not enough chakra to form the robes, which matches my plan."
Gesturing towards Matatabi amicably, Naruto hovered towards the 2-Tails, as Sasuke was racing around for Obito, whose chakra faded.
"Matatabi, give me a high 5!" Menma smiled amiably, with his other partner's sharpened nails meeting with his cordially. "Prepared?"
Matatabi grinned alongside Menma, with blue chakra surrounding the Uzumaki's arms. "Always."
"The heck. Couldn't the 2 of you used this without any sorta attempts to die?"
"I can, but the chakra of Matatabi can only enhance my chains and not seals, I'm used to the feeling of increasing any sort of techniques now."
Menma darted in front of Matatabi, with both smiling wildly. The Uzumaki's seal shone Keppel, as the Two-Tails entered the symbols, once more.
"Now. I can create more seals without needing to make them separately," Menma explained, and Matatabi nodded understandingly. "Can I return the chakra Naruto gave?"
"Quickly," Matatabi hastily responded, yellow eyes composed. "A strong source of energy is coming."
Menma clicked his attention to Naruto before springing upwards. "No seconds worth wasting." He extended a clenched hand with baleful determination.
Melancholically, he added with sadness. "Kakashi-Sensei won't be disappointed."
Nodding resolutely, Naruto's fist slammed into Menma's, and Matatabi's energy returned speedily, before both separated.
Menma returned to the surface, and Sasuke patiently waited. Naruto floated above them all.
"When could you hover?" Sasuke dryly asked, his Sharingan spinning for Obito's residence. "His chakra is stronger."
"I'm simply too good!" Naruto's features boisterously brightened, lowering himself slightly. "Sorry, I can't teach ya!"
Smirking frigidly, Sasuke changed positions with Naruto, who staggered unpreparedly, before the Uchiha span, settling onto the rubble.
Clicking his tongue, Naruto remarked with amicability. "You're only sad you weren't given this ability!"
"Am I?" Sasuke deflected with false confusion. "Or are you sad I can stop you from hovering, easily?"
Menma laughed, despite the graveness of the situation. Soon, Naruto grinned cheerfully, and Sasuke smirked frigidly.
"Sealing Chains: Spike."
"Amaterasu."
"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
Madara dispelled them with a Truth-Seeking-Orb and walked forward.
Naruto blurred quickly.
(-)
Sasuke seated himself onto a stool in the Casino, watching Tsunade slumping for another lost game.
Ordering a glass of water, Sasuke realized his fists were clenched. Perhaps meeting with Kakashi was giving him these effects.
"Or maybe I'm feeling this as I allowed my master and companions to perish."
Icily, Sasuke sighed. He needed to return to Konoha, but with his current strength, well, he would unarguably lose to a few certain people, who he could only beat with his full abilities.
"Annoyed. Are we?" Someone, who Sasuke surmised was Kakashi, hummed. His pupils were mesmerised by the literature in his grab. "A water, please."
The waiter nodded, and Sasuke noticed his glass, before sipping the glacially filled cup. "Kakashi Hatake. A pleasure to be affiliated."
"Oh," Kakashi's annoyingly coalesced demeanour rose boringly. "You appear to be aware."
His words were drawled, and the Hatake appeared relaxed and restful. "Well. Nice to meet any fans."
Drinking his given water, Kakashi's book snapped shut and he approached Shizune with a casual nod before glancing towards Tsunade's drunkenness.
"Lady Tsunade," Kakashi's hand slid into his pouch, with him bringing out a Kunai skilfully. "I shall battle you on the 5th Hokages orders."
Staggeringly, Tsunade shook her head good-naturedly. "You are too frightening."
"I'm messing with you, anyway." Kakashi lazily pointed towards Sasuke, who was drinking his 4th cup. "Was shocked by this kid with you."
"Ya learned, huh? When?"
"When you came to town," Kakashi lifted his shoulders up, and languidly stood. "The kid's clever."
Tsunade amusedly chortled before gesturing for Sasuke, who neared them aloofly. "Brats. Meet each-other."
"Kakashi Hatake." Sasuke informed. His spheres drifted to Kakashi's missing ear. "When? Ah, different timeline, of course. I was looking for something."
"Bingo Book?" Shizune guessed, and Sasuke's head bowed and rose in confirmation. "Where would you obtain one?"
"Shops," Sasuke indifferently answered. Signalling a glance to Kakashi calmly. "Could you give me one? I can give you money."
"No worries kid," Kakashi quickly threw one towards Sasuke, who grasped it easily. "Good speed."
"Thanks," Sasuke amicably bowed his head, and disappeared outside before opening up the Bingo-Book, his pupils sprinting through the entries. "Itachi. Itachi. And Itachi."
Scrutinizing his brother's bounty, Sasuke was rather impressed. 1 billion was listed on his profile. "Itachi Uchiha. Member of the healing Uchiha Clan. He succeeded in killing Danzo Shimura but was weakened by Obito Uchiha."
"Obito?" Sasuke ignored that specific detail, returning his attention to the book. "Abilities. Provided by Orochimaru -5TH Hokage and Sannin- Huh? Unending warmth. Unstoppable Illusions. Fire Style master."
Breathing composedly. Sasuke blurred to Kakashi and Tsunade, before screaming openly.
"What the Hell!"
(-)
Lazily, Kakashi watched Sasuke amble across the Casino, effectively silencing any by-passers with his frosty glance.
"Lady Tsunade, this kid's peculiar," His concentration remained planted on Icha-Icha, his eyes giggling mirthfully. "Well, both of you are."
Inhaling mockingly towards the Hatake, Tsunade sipped another bottle unhurriedly. "Heh. He makes a hella good fortune."
"Oh," Kakashi drawled deliberately, shutting his treasure and peering towards the healer. "Please, inform me."
"Stealing from bandits, keep with the times Hatake."
"Incredible." He lazily remarked. Sloppily fixing up his loose mask in a bored manner. "He's the reason you can gamble this much."
"Sasuke Uchiha…"
"Kid's staying with me and that's final." Tsunade opened a bag, with piles of coins relaxing inside. "Seriously, look!"
Languidly, Kakashi moved his messily combed hair, revealing a healed marking, and a pale ear. "Lord Hashirama's cells need to be reattached."
Sighing expectantly, Tsunade's fingers shone green before, instantly, one of her hands were melding the pale appendage into Kakashi's head, easily.
"Thanks," Kakashi sauntered towards a seat across from both Shizune and Tsunade, exhaling. "I'm predicting a kind of interrogation."
"Orochimaru a good Hokage? Been a few years." Tsunade wiped her mouth, refilling a cup. "Oh, and are Minato's kids still wrecking forests?"
"Lord Orochimaru is quite good. Sure, he's ruthless with insiders from other nations. And, he opened up another scientific branch a while ago."
"Of course," Tsunade scoffed understandingly. Sliding a cup towards Shizune before glancing around dryly. "And the brats?"
Kakashi hummed musingly, his fingers banging against the table excitingly. "Menma's in the Anbu forces and Naruto's with Obito now."
"10 year old in the Anbu, the heck you been teaching him?"
"Basics. Still, lord Orochimaru insists I need to be more serious." Kakashi casually leaned forward, shutting his spheres. "Oh well. That was 3 years ago."
Tsunade blasted Kakashi a confused look, filled with calculations. "Oh, you stopped?"
The Hatake raised up his 2 hands, unperturbed. "Come on now. I wanted to mentor him but then issues with Kumo and Iwa arose."
Clicking her tongue in annoyance, Tsunade's hand slammed gently onto the desk. "Allow me to guess. Menma is learning from him?"
"Yep," Kakashi revealed a documentation. Sending it to the Sannin unhurriedly. "Shisui Uchiha."
"And Naruto is coming to Konoha in 4 months. Pranks are about to return. Exciting," Inhaling calmingly, Kakashi stood up, hands in pockets. "Sorry, I need to regroup with Lord Orochimaru, and Obito's expected to arrive."
"Iwa negotiations?" Shizune chimed in inquisitively. Placing a cup into Tsunade's grab. "That almost started another war last time."
"Oh well." Kakashi's airy demeanour shattered briefly, his single, conspicuous eye glimmering cheerlessly. "Sadly, this may be the final time."
Gesturing casually, Kakashi blinked out of existence. His form disappearing instantly.
(-)
Naruto crouched effortlessly, forming 20 clones, which grouped around him speedily. "Okay. Multiple Rasengans!"
Numerous blue blurs shot towards Obito, who span, leaped, and avoided all of them. Unbothered, the Uchiha stuck his tongue out childishly.
The Uzumaki quickly appeared in front of Obito, fisting his abdomen forcefully before swivelling with a ruthlessly energetic leg.
Being kicked in the stomach, Obito intentionally stumbled. Using the chance of relief for Naruto to grasp his lowering limb.
Spinning, Naruto crashed into his own clones, with him groaning stubbornly. "Damn you…"
His noisy words echoed in the climate, before Obito hurled him towards another series of platforms. "Okay. Naruto, I'm leaving for a while. You're gonna be sent to a random place. All good? Bye!"
"Wait, what the hell-…"
(-)
Orochimaru cleverly encircled his position with a hallucination, scanning the meeting area from afar. Dispelling the illusion, the Sannin glanced.
He noticed a whirling aura, which revealed Obito, who revelled in his astoundingly impressive method of arrival.
"Mesmerised…Lord Hokage?" He stood with the disposition of a rather boisterous individual. "No answer? Fine, I'm sure Kakashi's won't be as unnaturally good."
Still, Orochimaru easily discerned the stirring of seriousness on his stature. "Where were you able to send Naruto?"
"Some random place!" Grinning, Obito appeared to give himself numerous compliments, internally. "No need to be shocked by my incredible decision-making."
Clapping, Kakashi formed near them, his hands separating slowly for effects. "Sending a 10-year-old to a random place. Astounding intelligence."
"Enough," Orochimaru glanced, once more, towards the fancily arranged room. Currently, they were standing inside a bedroom. And the place to meet the Tsuchikage was along the hallway. "Time for negotiations."
(-)
Kakashi and Obito silently concealed their presences. Examining the many guards, which were brought along by Onoki, and they weren't expecting that, at all.
"Heh," Obito's lone sea of grey watched them amble. His scrutiny increased by the second. "This ain't looking good."
Mirthfully, Kakashi listened to his teammate before exhaling indifferently. "As if anything good happened to us."
Noiselessly, Obito nodded.
The words Kakashi spewed were accurate, unfortunately.
Amusedly, Orochimaru seated himself onto a chair. Staring towards Onoki apathetically. "I was unaware we were supposed to bring 20 or more and not two, as arranged."
Gritting his teeth softly, Onoki placed his arm onto the table, his only one. Orochimaru merely observed.
"Your yellow flash bastard. He, not only eliminated 1,000 of mine and Kumo's shinobi, he crippled me, and killed the one with the 4-tails contracts!"
Now, the Tsuchikage was panting. His eyes witnessed the creepy composedness of Orochimaru dissipate. Until he hummed.
"You and Kumo attempted to remove Konoha or weaken us. Minato Namikaze simply eliminated all threats. And, why are you still a Kage then?"
Onoki shook his head. Orochimaru's words were mocking. He clenched his hand with weariness. "He put the Raikage out of commission briefly. Ay won't be making compromises with you."
The Sannin's fingers became interlaced before Orochimaru laughed. He laughed gleefully. "The Raikage respects strength. And you despise it completely, unless it's controllable."
Onoki pointed towards the snake-user. All traces of calmness dispelled. "Well. I shall be finishing you now. Orochimaru of the Sannin." He insultingly announced.
Obito and Kakashi blurred, as Orochimaru stood up calmly. His yellow-ish eyes shone interestedly. "I invite you too."
Instantly, boulders flooded the area, encompassing Orochimaru's arms. As a few seals arose. "Seals? And please. Where were you able to get these?"
Grinning mockingly, Onoki blithely chortled, patting the desk merrily. "Oh, the Uzumaki Clan Genins are skilled."
"Ah," Orochimaru easily realized. Still standing motionlessly. "You killed the Genin and tortured their team leader."
Obito's spheres widened imperceptibly. His boisterousness dimmed hollowly before his Sharingan counted. 1. 2. 3. Tomoe. Then, the Mangekyo clicked.
"Hm," Onoki's grin dissipated. He examined Orochimaru with triumph. "He was pathetic, a small number of stabs and concussions. He was crying."
Onoki flew upwards, dodging the deadly distortion which was Obito. The Tsuchikage shot the cube of Particle Style at the Uchiha, who remained unaffected.
"Boy," Onoki eyed him unwarily, sliding towards his Shinobi quickly. "Once we're finished. I'm stealing those eyes."
Smiling chillingly, Obito's arm removed the patch enveloping his sphere. Another Sharingan giggled, feeling the freshness in the climate.
"Kakashi. Prepared for this?" He enquired airily. Scrutinizing the countless shinobi before him unfeelingly. "Where are ya?!"
"Look to your side," Kakashi drawled unhurriedly. His head-band lifted. "You wound me Obito. Being unable to witness my delicateness."
"Lord Orochimaru." Blankly, Kakashi's hand bellowed with purple thunder, his languidness overtaken by monstrosity. "Your orders?"
"Elimination of them all." Orochimaru decided easily. Shattering and dispersing the paralysis seals. "Allow no survivors."
"And Tsuchikage for your information, a person, who I care deeply for, was an Uzumaki, and she's dead. I owe her a bunch. You're not getting away."
"Kamui. Expansive Imperceptibility."
Kakashi blurred towards the Iwa Shinobi, as Obito's Kamui surrounded him calmingly. Shurikens shot towards him, only to glide through.
(-)
Naruto was internally complaining to himself. Walking along the trail, he kicked a stone.
The Uzumaki was currently approaching a range of mountains, Naruto unconsciously applied chakra into his heels.
Sauntering upwards, his shoulders slumped beaten. "Damn, bastard." He inwardly mumbled before his concentration snapped to the mountain's side.
"When the hell was I climbing this?!" Many ideas clicked into his mind. All of them were stupid, but still. Naruto's hand crashed into the mountain. "Guess I could climb more."
Shrugging, Naruto scurried upwards before he noticed indiscernible blurs nearing him, he grinned energetically. "The bastard? He ain't catching me!"
Naruto's chakra darted into his legs before he crouched, shooting to the top. The Uzumaki became discernible as he whizzed through.
A Kumo reporter leaped to their boss before detailing dutifully. "Blonde hair. Small stature. Blue eyes. A coat which is stylish. Is approaching the village gates!"
Atsui smiled wildly, tapping his blade against the mountain excitedly. "Age?"
The reporter shook his head, recalling the child's age. He apologetically sighed. "I'm unsure. 8-9. Maybe."
"Coming to Kumo, huh?" Atsui swung the edge at the reporter, who leaned away in confusion. "Inform Yugito."
"What about the Raikage, sir?" The reporter examined him wearily, lowering the edge slowly. "It appears he's infiltrating."
Clicking his tongue, Atsui scoffed in annoyance, rubbing his weapon thoughtfully. "Lord Raikage's attention needs to be placed on problems of significance. This 8-Year-Old won't be challenging."
The reporter bowed shallowly before rushing to the main borders. "Sir!"
Atsui discerned Naruto, who blurred, supposedly ignoring Atsui's presence. "Oi, kid!" He sprinted after the blonde-infiltrator.
"Huh?" Naruto lowered his stare to beneath him, noticing Atsui coming towards him hurriedly. "The bastard hired ya?"
"Wind Style: Gale Surge!"
Atsui's blade slashed through the wind barricade effortlessly before stabbing Naruto's arm, only for him to remove the chakra from his heels.
"I'm bringing you with me!" He boisterously grasped the tip of Atsui's clothes, forcing him to drop the weapon maddeningly. "The bastard won't win this."
"Who's this bastard?!" Atsui's expression was rather frustrated. He blasted chakra into his hands until the wind moved his limb. "Stop hindering me!"
Cheekily, Naruto's head clicked skywards before looking below. "We're gonna perish!"
"No! I'm too little too die! Help! Help! Please, I'm going to listen to anyone. Follow my superiors' orders to all dots. Keep me alive!" Atsui's hands were clasped, he chanted dramatically. "Please! Please!"
"Yep," Naruto casually went through his collection of Kunais, brushing the blunt tips. "We're dying!"
Atsui looked towards Naruto with a crazy desperation. He grabbed the blonde's head before screaming energetically. "You're dying first then!"
"Oi," Naruto's hands hissed with wind, prying Atsui's grasp away. "Relax. Maybe we can be buddies!"
"No! No! No!" Atsui slumped as they glided through the air, all he could notice was the beautiful sky. "I'm not dying with this 8-Year-Old-. No-…"
"I'm 10!"
"Ah, looking now, you look 11 or 12."
"Thanks for the compliments, new buddy."
"We aren't buddies!"
"What's the problems?" Yugito casually soared alongside them, messing around with Naruto's collections of shuriken. "Name's Yugito Nii, mysterious kid."
"Nice to meetcha. I'm Naruto Uzumaki," He excitedly smiled, shaking Yugito's outstretched hand. "What's yours?" He peered towards Atsui, who was flailing around.
"I'm Atsui, you better remember-Oh why the heck am I speaking with this 8-…"
Yugito pointed at the Uzumaki, helpfully adding. "10."
"Year old?!" Atsui wallowed before glancing beneath them. "We were pretty high, huh?"
"Yep." Naruto repeated airily, as he and Yugito began conversing. "What brings you to these mountains?"
Gesturing upwards, Yugito explained amicably. "Kumogakure's near."
"Nice. Ya think I could come?" Naruto was astoundingly oblivious to Atsui's passionate bellows. "I'm pretty bored."
"You're an Uzumaki, despite your appearances," Yugito examined Naruto once more before shrugging. "Uzushiokagure's kinda far. Come on then."
Grabbing Naruto's arms, Yugito hurled him upwards before nodding to Atsui casually. "See you later!"
"No!"

The Raikage exhaled roughly, observing Naruto unworriedly, while Yugito was eyeing a few documents.
Naruto airily watched, his spheres filled with mischief, which would surge at any second.
"Uzumaki, huh?" Ay stonily span on his chair, looking towards the mountains encircling the area. "The heck you in Kumo then?!" He aggressively intoned.
"Beats me." Naruto shrugged unhelpfully, glancing towards the ceiling. "Well, I'm going!"
Before Naruto could stand, Ay threw Yugito too Naruto's side, curtly ordering. "Okay, Yugito! Babysitting time!"
"Huh?"
"No, I'm a well-behaved child!" Naruto passionately declared, folding his arms. "Seriously, I am!"
"You're a devil!" Atsui entered the room, lacerations ruining his face, dirt on his clothing. "A monster!"
Ay rubbed his skull, he looked towards Atsui confusedly. "Naruto, huh? Well behaved my ass!"
"Okay Naruto," Yugito hastily grasped the child's waist and threw him out of the window. "We're going now!"
"Lord Raikage!" Atsui drifted towards Ay, hugging him with tears. "Please! I shall be good, promise!"
"The heck?!"
"Sorry!"

Naruto and Yugito sauntered through the crowds, many citizens watched her with concealed wariness.
"The hell's up with the crowd?" Naruto gestured to the person, who hastened into the door, eyeing him with a grin of wickedness. "You wanna fight or something?!"
"Sure!"
Blurring, Yugito grabbed Naruto by the arms before they reached another area. "Where's this?"
"Training place," Yugito clasped her hands as a blue chakra surrounded her and encircled Naruto after. "Why would you enter?"
"I wasn't planning too. Can I call ya Aunty or something?" Naruto casually remarked, spinning around energetically "Your name's boring to remember."
"Interesting…" Serenely, Yugito's eyes became dry and she stood in front of the Uzumaki curiously. "Kurama's announcements were accurate."
Naruto confusedly stared, his spheres blinking.

Menma woke up, his irises now purple, all remainders of yellow dissipated.
He breezily exhaled.
A/N: Bye.
