You wanted a quick update, well I present to you MY version of chapter 7 as combined with the original story's own battle. Not gonna sit here and rant, but I just want you to enjoy; so Enjoy.
Naruto and Mito stood opposite each other on top of the Hokage Monument, on top of Hashirama's head ironically.
"A few months ago, and it awoke my old life in me. Since then I have been both Uzumaki Naruto and …Senju Hashirama."
Mito looked at him with a disbelieving yet desperately hopeful face. She had hoped for it the moment she had laid eyes on him. His chakra and emotions felt too much like Hashirama's…no one could replicate that much of a person unless it was the person himself…
She needed proof, though. To erase all her doubts and assure her that it was indeed her beloved husband reborn, standing in front of her…
"I concede that you have my husband's chakra and bloodline, and you feel very familiar. Give me proof, please give me proof…"
Naruto looked at her, the joy shining bright on his face.
"I activated your seal on the Hokage's office, Mito-chan…"
"Not enough…Tell me something only I and Hashirama would know…" Mito asked, feeling as if this were a dream.
Naruto turned his back to her and observed the space above the monument.
"It was right here, wasn't it Mito-chan? You told me we would have a son, we were alone and we had come here for our walk. The sun was rising, and I was so happy at the news. It makes me happy even today in this life to remember it…"
Tears were flowing down Mito's eyes…"H-Hashirama-kun?"
"Mokuton: Kami no niwa", said Naruto, creating the garden the exact same way he did all those years ago.
The barren land above the Hokage Monument was transformed. A lush green lawn spread over it and Cherry trees sprouted everywhere, showering the reunited couple with their beautiful blossoms.
Naruto had forgotten about Konoha's plight.
It could wait…
"Then I went maniacal and started jumping around, creating a garden like this one everywhere…Until you caught me with an immobilization seal and forced me to calm down. I didn't for around three hours, though", laughed Naruto nostalgically.
"Hashirama…." said Mito yet again, rooted to her spot with utter joy. It was true…no one knew all those things except Hashirama. He really was reborn and in front of her….
"Tobirama was different though; he went outside the village for a good distance…and went even more ballistic than me. You should have seen him…Mito-chan"
Mito was slowly walking towards him, hardly believing their good fortune. A second chance, it was a second chance for them. She could be with her beloved husband for an entire lifetime now…
"I can keep telling you of things only I would know…Tsunade's first word, calling me 'Ojisan', how I met my friend Madara for the first time on a river bank, my other dead brothers, Itama and Kawarama…and I can show you something unique to me."
He turned and faced Mito, who had a constant stream of tears flowing down her face.
Mito felt her heart quicken at the sight of him.
He sported the markings of a sage…the same crimson ones Hashirama had possessed. The two concentric circles on the center of his forehead, the rings around his eyes and the two arcs down his cheeks…
He was beautiful.
She could sense the chakra flowing through his veins like a storm. It was a glorious feeling, to immerse her mind once more in his all-consuming chakra.
"It really is me, Mito-hime…"
She covered the distance between them at a run and flung herself into his arms, where she belonged.
"I missed you so much, Hashirama. Those years without you…" she cried into his shoulder.
"We are together once more, Mito-chan. Me, you, and Madara are back together again…No one will ever separate us again. I don't want to see either of you in tears, Mito-chan…", said Naruto stroking her back soothingly.
She wiped her tears, still maintaining her embrace, and examined her husband properly in his reborn body.
He was tall for his age, slightly taller than her with long and spiky blonde hair. He looked very handsome, as much as he did as Hashirama. But he exuded the same calm and power she always placed her faith in, Konoha had placed its faith in.
He released his Senjutsu, the markings fading…and hugged her again tightly, unable to believe their luck , their hearts overflowing with their love.
It was God himself in his infinite mercy, granting them such happiness…
Arigato….

"Kakashi-taicho! We have bad news, a messenger from the perimeter teams…it seems several of the minor villages are attacking us with the Six, Seven, and Three tails Jinchuuriki leading them. Nine thousand Shinobi will be here with the Bijuu in a matter of minutes…"
Kakashi's eyes widened and he cursed. Of all the times…
"Tenzo, send half the team and Jounin to back up the perimeter division. These ninja chose a bad time…most of our shinobi are out on missions. Now, Tenzo…"
The ANBU nodded and shot off.
Kakashi glanced around the village and sighed. The job was done well and the village was in a state of complete lockdown. The academy students were safe…At least defending the village would be easier without villagers running around like headless chicken.
Something upon the Hokage monument caught his attention. Trees were growing and a lawn was spreading beautifully.
Naruto.
What was Naruto doing, creating trees on top of monuments when the village was about to be attacked?
He decided to go and find out for himself.
XxX
Naruto and Mito were currently entwined around one another, pouring their love and desperation from years of separation into a single heated kiss.
It was excellent. Mito had said she was physically around seventeen, and he himself was nearing fifteen. It was just fine…he owed Orochimaru's idiocy, the snake Sannin's greed for Mito to be at her strongest was his undoing.
Naruto felt like he was in heaven. His wife's lips felt as soft as ever and her form was as soft as velvet and hard as steel at the same time. She was his light…his light and reason.
A throat cleared behind them, causing them to separate hastily and turn.
"Kakashi-sensei…" said Naruto, blushing and irritated at the same time. Mito was watching amusedly; she could never get over him blushing. She had always teased him, called him the 'shy god of shinobi'….
Kakashi looked at Naruto, amazed, and hardly believing what he was doing…he was kissing Uzumaki Mito? That was his wife, but still…
Naruto cleared his throat as well.
"Kakashi, meet my wife Uzumaki Mito, first Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi and the greatest sealing mistress the nations have ever seen…" he introduced his wife proudly, taking her hand. Mito blushed faintly at his praise.
"Hashirama stop doing that to him, he seems ready to faint…"
Naruto gave her a deadpan stare. "He does that…"
Kakashi stared in awe as the two legendary figures reunited much like Ma-er Satsuki and he had. He felt so happy for Naruto…but that had to wait. They would need Naruto if they were to prevail in the coming battle.
"Naruto, we have a problem. Nine thousand ninja are about to attack us in a matter of minutes. We have no idea how they concealed themselves…"
Naruto exchanged glances with Mito.
"It is a old Jutsu that can conceal one's presence; it's the Meisagakure no Jutsu, It was used by Mu the Second Tsuchikage and the technique was pilfered from his body by Kiri and several minor villages and it can hide large numbers of people from view. Only sensor ninja or Uchiha can see through that…'' said Mito.
Naruto looked at Mito. "What do we do about Hiruzen, Mito-chan? He was always too self-sacrificing for his own good. He may do something drastic…"
Mito looked back at him. "Hashirama, let Hiruzen correct his own mistakes. He can take care of a weakened Tobirama and that snakelike youngster easily…"
Naruto still looked worried about his student, but Kakashi settled the matter.
"Mito-sama, Naruto, we have no choice but to leave Hokage-sama to deal with Orochimaru. We need you both to defeat these enemies as our shinobi presence in the village is at a low…"
Naruto looked torn, but nodded.
Mito considered Kakashi. "Where are they attacking?"
"From the north and slightly from the east…they will be here soon. Naruto please do not reveal too much of your strength, show enough to be considered borderline S-class…we will be too busy recovering from this to deal with other nations."
Naruto nodded solemnly, put his arms around Mito's shoulders and looked deep into her eyes.
"Let us fight together once more, Mito-chan."
Mito nodded in joy. Hashirama by himself was near invincible, but together they were truly invincible.
XxX
Jiraiya and Kushina were standing together, waiting for the inevitable assault. They had delayed their enemies' arrival by setting area wide range traps, and gained about another half hour.
They were seal masters, and they used every bit of their mastery to delay the inevitable.
"We are as ready as possible. Kushina, you have to protect our shinobi from the Kekkei Genkai style attacks of the various shinobi. It is said that the Six Tails Jinchuuriki possesses the powerful Acid Style bloodline…"
Kushina nodded. "I was never as good against Kiri or Taki as I was against Kumo. They can disperse my Suiton and Katon easily…they have some very strong Doton users now that I think about it. Anyway…will you confront the Jinchuuriki alone…?"
Jiraiya opened his mouth, presumably to say yes when a voice interrupted him.
"No, he won't confront them at all."
Kushina and Jiraiya turned, staring with wide eyes. Standing behind them was Naruto, Satsuki, Kakashi and a very beautiful young woman, who had red hair and held her son's hand. Kakashi disappeared with a shunshin, though, explaining that he needed to check on the shinobi.
"NARUTO!" yelled Kushina, and pulled him into a crushing hug.
Naruto's eyes were popping out.
"Kaa-san…choking…not…breathing…"
Kushina released him immediately, looking sheepish.
"What happened to the Sandaime, Naruto?"
"He is fighting Orochimaru and Tobirama. I hope he is alright, his life force feels fine if a little dimmer…" Mito said as she looked at Satsuki with a small smile as the Uchiha nodded her head in response to the uzumaki woman.
Naruto looked coldly at Jiraiya. "And stop peeking at my wife, ero-sennin…"
Jiraiya's eyes went back to normal, looking anywhere but at Naruto. He knew who Naruto was, and he knew who his wife should be…how was she here though?
"Your wife…" asked Kushina, looking like she was punch drunk. Mito stepped towards her and said tenderly.
"It has been a long time, Kushina-chan…you have grown into a beautiful and strong Kunoichi. You make me proud…"
Kushina was awed. "Mito-sama, you really are back…"
Mito looked pleased and happy. "I am here to stay, Kushina-chan. My place is by my husband's side…" she said, melting into his embrace.
She could hardly stop touching him, to make sure this was all real.
Naruto looked at Kushina, who looked like she was about to explode with questions. Jiraiya was busily writing down something in a notebook…
"Meet my wife and your daughter in-law Uzumaki Mito, Kaa-san…" Naruto said seriously.
Kushina looked extremely weirded out. She had no idea how to feel about this…
Satsuki sighed before bopping him on his head. "Stop confusing everybody, Hashirama. Kushina-san has already been in a battle…anyway, how much longer do we have…?" the Uchiha asked.
Kushina shut away the disordered feelings of her son who was married before she was born and answered.
"Jiraiya-sensei's scouts say several of the minor villages are leading thousands of shinobi at a fast pace and will be here in another half hour. We set traps for them with a wide range swamp seal, and a fire tornado seal. Lots of them…It won't stop the enemy for long though…and that's not all; they have three Jinchuuriki with them. The Three Tails, Six Tails and the Seven Tails!"
Naruto put a hand on Kushina's shoulder.
"Don't worry about them, Kaa-san. I will confront the Jinchuuriki while Satsuki and Mito hold back the ninja for me"
"Can you still take on that kind of fire power, Lord Hashirama?" Jiraiya asked with amazement.
Naruto nodded. "Don't really know, I will have to see what my limitations are and see if I can find a way to fully subdue the beasts, but I thought Yagura was dead?" Naruto asked his mother.
"So did we, but apparently he used a Blood Clone." Kushina said, drawing a confused look from the three founders, "It basically is an enhanced Shadow clone except it is a full clone. And it doesn't disperse when the creator dies." she explained to them.
"Hashirama, you are not at your old strength yet…perhaps half of it. I sense that you are growing steadily but it will be some time till you are as strong as before…I estimate three years, maybe four." said Mito with concern.
"I am strong enough, besides I have you and Satsuki by my side, I'll be fine." he said.
Mito laid her head on his shoulder, causing him to encircle her in his embrace yet again.
Jiraiya went back to his note taking and Kushina watched her legendary son and his wife with mixed feelings.
Suddenly, an explosion rocked the ground. They saw dozens of ninjas pouring out in their hundreds in four groups. Three were close, and one was quite a distance to the left…
"Kaa-san, ero-sennin and Kakashi-sensei, you go and deal with three groups with all our shinobi. Leave these ninja and that fourth division to us, I will teach these brats not to turn on Konoha…" said Naruto, wisdom and authority in his eyes.
They nodded rapidly. It was better than they had hoped for. Disappearing, they led the charge of the gathered Konoha shinobi and met Iwa with a thunderous crash.
He could go and wipe out a lot of them with Mokuton, but he did not really want to slaughter them to the last man unless they left him no other choice. Madara had always called him soft hearted, but that was just how he was.
No, only Onoki remembered the absolute power he had wielded with the Wood Release, but he wasn't here. These shinobi needed something they feared more than just fairy tales to confront them, if they were to be made to flee from conflict.
Naruto gathered his chakra, a shining silver aura manifesting around him. Mito too gathered her strength, a rippling grey chakra forming around her. As she did this, Satsuki called on her own unique Uchiha chakra and created a deep magenta aura of chakra around her body.
The legendary trio looked at each other and disappeared towards battle.
XxX
Utakata watched the ensuing battle from high in the air in a bubble. This was his chance to take out Konoha.
As expected, the Sannin Jiraiya, the wife of the cursed Namikaze, and that Sharingan wielding nightmare were cutting through Yagura's forces like a hot knife through butter.
He smiled grimly, Konoha's newest generation of shinobi were not battle tested. They made elementary mistakes and paid for it with death. His own forces were decimating the Konoha forces in return. Two S-class ninja and one borderline S-class, however strong, could not stand up to sixteen thousand highly trained war veterans. Let alone those newbies Konoha had sent out for its defense.
The three frontal divisions consisting of 9,000 ninja were engaging Konoha's forces successfully and the fourth through sixth division's retaining the final 7,000 forces was expected to encircle around them, and they would crush Konoha.
He saw the fourth division beginning to move to surround the Konoha shinobi, but they suddenly stopped. Why did they stop?
He floated downwards quite a bit, and saw something that surprised him to no end. A blonde boy, tall for his age, and a couple of beautiful young women, one in white and another in purple and blue, face his legion of shinobi as if they did not have a care in the world.
Either these youth were very strong, or were just buying time. He decided to intervene only if things got bad for the fourth division. They still had time to execute the final maneuver.
XxX
Mito stood alongside her husband and Satsuki as they stared at the 2,000 shinobi in front of them.
"Kakashi asked you not to show your true strength…only about S-class…how will you handle this…?"
Naruto drew his Wakizashi and held it to his side at an angle, reinforcing the blade with pure earth chakra and increasing its tensile strength tenfold.
"The world fears a yellow flash…so they will fear me…"
He had mastered the use of shunshin when he was a boy. Dedicated long months only to it…it was short range and worked only by sight, but it would do for this battle.
"Mito-chan, defend me against long-range attacks. I would do it myself…but you know I must restrict my show of strength. Satsuki cover me from behind with close range attacks"
Mito nodded, "Of course."
"Go, Hashirama…" Satsuki told him.
Naruto nodded and disappeared with a yellow flash, and appeared in front of the enemies ranks.
Then he began to slaughter them before they could even blink.
XxX
Utakata could hardly believe his eyes. Ranks upon ranks of shinobi were falling like flies, not even able to react.
He strained his eyes, and saw something that chilled him to the bone. A flash of yellow moving across the stunned ranks, almost too fast to even spot. He was killing them with impunity…This had to stop. He was not as fast as the Namikaze butcher for Iwa, but he was fast enough.
A ball of purple poison began gathering itself between his palms, shaping itself into a smoking ball of death that could kill hundreds in an instant; it was a similar Jutsu to the Kekkei Tota Particle Style as it dissolved everything at a concentrated Level; combining the Elements of Water/Lightning/Wind to create the acidic compounds for his Jutsu.
This threat would be eliminated soon.
XxX
Kushina, Jiraiya and Kakashi were upon a small hill, watching the battle unfold. They had put up a barrier seal to recuperate and consider their next move.
Their teams were fighting well enough, but it was obvious they would have to retreat back to Konoha soon enough. These enemy shinobi seemed handpicked…they were probably the top tier of these Minor village shinobi.
All of them were probably A-rank or high B-rank. Some were possibly ANBU. That made it hard for them to kill their enemies. Kushina had fought many battles…but she had not faced an army of high level shinobi.
Their enemies had staked much on its assault…
Kushina suddenly heard something that froze her heart and made Kakashi and Jiraiya turn towards the voice in disbelief.
"IT IS THE KIRROI SENKO OF KONOHA! RUN!"
They saw the division Naruto, Satsuki and Mito-sama had gone to confront running back to the main force helter-skelter. Behind the rapidly retreating battalion, she saw something amazing.
Barely discernible flashes of yellow, rapidly taking out the retreating shinobi of Iwa.
"Minato…" said Jiraiya in wonder.
Kushina looked heartbroken as her son flashed around rapidly, taking out his father's enemies. He was so fast…reminding her painfully of Minato.
Minato, if only you could see our son…
"Naruto is using their own fear against them…" said Kakashi with admiration. But he too was rattled at how much Naruto reminded him of his Sensei as he used the shunshin.
Jiraiya pointed to a glowing light above Naruto's general area.
"It's Utakata; he is using Acid Release against Naruto. He must be really scared by the reappearance of the Yellow flash to go that far so fast…"
Kushina looked very worried. "My baby…."
XxX
Mito saw her husband stop and resheathe his blade as he watched the remnants of the battalion run back to the main force. He had surprised her with his situational awareness, a legacy of this lifetime, she thought.
She followed the line of her husband's sight and saw a unknown ninja preparing to launch an attack at him, but sensed a specific chakra coursing through the mans body
No you don't, Jinchuuriki.
Utakata thrust his hands toward Naruto.
"Santon: Shi kōhai no Jutsu!"
A huge column of magenta colored chakra descended from Utakata's position in the skies towards Naruto, ripping through the air at an unbelievable speed.
Mito appeared next to her husband and slammed her palms together.
"FUUINJUTSU: RYUSHI FIRUTASHIRU!"
Naruto watched as his wife countered this man's attack with an air filter seal. Her own innovation… Her proficiency with seals really astounded him.
Utakata's jutsu dissipated into floating particles falling harmlessly onto the ground.
Naruto looked at Mito and nodded with admiration for her as Utakata looked at them with indecision, and floated back to his own army.
"DISENGAGE!"
XxX
Kushina watched as Utakata's attack was dispersed by Mito-sama, and the Jinchuuriki retreated to his own army ordering them to disengage.
The Konoha shinobi too disengaged, and within a short while the battle lines were formed once more, Konoha facing the thousands of enemies at their door.
They were outnumbered ten to one, and they could hold out from inside the village. Of all the times for Konoha to have so many of its shinobi out on missions…
She watched with relief as Naruto, Satsuki and Mito appeared next to Kakashi and Jiraiya. She went up to meet them…
"They are forming up to attack again, we must retreat to Konoha. Our forces are wounded and weakened and the reserves inside the city will help us outlast a siege…" Satsuki stated with her Mangekyo flaring out.
"It is for the best; Kushina-san…the enemy has lost about five thousand of its own, and still has about ten thousand fresh shinobi coming from behind them. We on the other hand are down to three hundred, all of us weary…"
Jiraiya and Naruto acquiesced as well, albeit reluctantly. It would not take long for Onoki to reform his forces and attack with unfamiliar tactics.
They passed the order.
XxX
Yagura watched with satisfaction as the Konoha shinobi ran back to their village, but he could not let them escape to their village. He did not come here to lay a siege…
"My fellow shinobi, watch as Konoha retreats! Do not fear the imitation yellow flash, as he is fleeing too! They must be at their limit! Do not let them escape to their hide-away hole…"
His shinobi cheered, having reorganized. As one, they gave chase.
XxX
Their forces were nearly through the gates and Kushina sighed with relief. The anti-bloodline forces of Kiri were now within sight of them, roaring with anger and triumph over them. Naruto suddenly gasped before he stumbled, falling upon his knees. Mito and Satsuki cried out and stopped too, appearing by his side.
Kushina joined them as well, seeing her son stumble. Jiraiya and Kakashi were watching anxiously from the battlements as the younger ninja stopped. The last of the perimeter guard was almost through…
"What's wrong, Hashirama? The enemy is almost upon us…unless you want to reveal our strength, we should go…" said Satsuki urgently.
Naruto stood up, and looked at Satsuki, then to Mito and then at Kushina with an expression of piercing sadness, tears flowing down his face.
The approaching army was fully in view at the horizon…the trees in this area were sparse and it was almost full plateau. Suited for the enemies Water Style Jutsu.
"What happened, Naruto? We have no time." asked Kushina urgently.
"Hiruzen is dead. Orochimaru is fleeing the village…his chakra feels damaged and diminished. But I could feel Hiruzen's life force snuffed out like a candle. He is gone…"
The group gasped.
Naruto was losing his expression of utter sadness, and it was being rapidly replaced with anger and his body started to shake. As Hashirama he had lost a beloved student, but as Naruto he had lost the one man who had consoled him throughout his childhood. The one man who was always there for him..no matter what.
And they had taken him away. They had taken the one man who was dear to him in both lives, away!
If it were not for these minor village's trying to help Suna in their invasion, then he could have easily helped Hiruzen defeat Orochimaru.
He faced the approaching invaders, and spoke to Mito.
"I could have protected him! If only these…pests… had not dared to attack Konoha… I will slaughter them ….", he said with absolute rage, his eyes now glowing a blood crimson with a black slit.
Mito and Satsuki looked alarmed. When Hashirama was angered, there was no stopping him. No one could stop him. Hell, Satsuki-as Madara that is-feared his anger the most; having faced it only once in her life. It was when she gave him the decision that changed history.
"Mito-chan, take my mother and Jiraiya a safe distance away from me. Satsuki, ensure they don't follow…I don't care about secrecy anymore… Those who attack Konoha without any provocation will be erased…"
Kushina was too shocked as the two young women nodded and kissed her son on his cheek, whispering for him to take care.
She was grasped by the hand, and appeared next to Jiraiya and Kakashi in a series of shunshin, Mito dragging her as Satsuki and Jiraiya appeared next to her.
"What is happening, Kushina-san, Satsuki, Mito-sama…why is Naruto out there alone?" asked Kakashi, a concerned look upon his face.
The reserve Konoha shinobi were lining the walls, readying themselves for the siege.
Jiraiya, Kushina and Kakashi however were alternating their glances between Mito, Satsuki and Naruto.
"Hiruzen is dead…killed by Orochimaru…", Satsuki said shaking her head sadly while the group gasped in grief.
"He is angered beyond measure…he blames Iwa for interfering. You three know just how much Hiruzen meant to Naruto in this life…" Mito said seriously.
"How can he defeat so many shinobi? There are about ten thousand of them out there, not to mention the three Jinchuuriki" said Jiraiya, his worry showing.
Mito made a hand seal, creating a powerful barrier of silence around them, "Watch…You have no idea, what Hashirama is capable of. He will show the world again why he was called 'God of Shinobi'. These pests will pay…" Mito said.
"He shouldn't reveal Mokuton…" said Kakashi.
"Would you rather be killed by Iwa than have my beloved reveal his strength…?" asked Satsuki.
Kakashi had nothing to say to that. So he shut up.
They watched as the enemy Ninja rushed towards Naruto, intent on just obliterating him.
~XxX-Play Keith Anderson: I Still Miss You-XxX~
Naruto walked forward calmly, his previous rage dissolving into deadly focus. The faint silver sheen around his body exploded into a very bright rippling glow, tinged faintly with red.
"He is using a little of Kyuubi's chakra…" said Mito in shock, "As if he were not strong enough already…"
The ground around Naruto started cracking and the pebbles on the ground were being crushed. The entire region felt his presence and anger.
The charging shinobi rushing towards him just stumbled and went on their knees in their hundreds, unable to bear the power of the Shodai Hokage being unleashed. Kushina watched open mouthed as her son subdued his enemies by presence and chakra alone. She felt the enormity of it as if it were the crack of doom…
The Konoha shinobi were also shivering in awe, staring at the boy they had believed to be a nuisance.
What power…
"How powerful is he…?" asked Jiraiya, barely hiding his amazement. Kakashi looked stunned as he watched his student walk even closer to the subdued army. They were still unable to move from the pressure… A beam of pure gold light shot at him from the skies The Seven Tails Jinchuuriki had recovered and transformed into her full Bijuu form was taking action but to no avail.
A massive hand of wood shot from the earth and swatted the Jutsu away as if it were a bothersome fly, the heavens above soon became illuminated from the Tailed Beast Bomb detonating high in the clouds above.
The Konoha shinobi seemed ready to faint. Some of the enemy Shinobi did faint…
"Mokuton", whispers ran everywhere. Both among the defenders and attackers. The battlefield was now rumbling, Naruto's chakra still escalating to levels never before witnessed.
The enemy shinobi had thrown off Naruto's oppression and were preparing their own jutsus. Utakata and Yagura now joined the Seven Tails Jinchuuriki in their Tailed Beast forms.
Naruto created a series of wooden tendrils to hold the Three Bijuu hosts off for a moment and watched as the forest came alive and attacked the Tailed Beast hosts, forcing them back as he looked to the enemy army.
Drawing his short sword, Naruto watched as the enemy once again charged forward and watched as a memory passed through his mind. It was Hiruzen as a boy, pointing at him and declaring he would be stronger than any ninja. Then the image changed to where Hiruzen was in his office declaring the same intent, both memories bringing immeasurable levels of pain and sorrow to the front of his mind, "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" and he leapt.
He was in the enemy ranks before they could blink, coming down upon them like a vengeful wraith. He sliced through three men using a Wind Chakra enhanced Wakizashi, stealing a katana from another as he leapt into the air avoiding dozens of jutsu as they crashed into his previous position. Landing he sliced through six men using both swords and jumped past them as dozens of men tripped over the six corpses and quickly piled up, several dozen impaling themselves upon their own weapons as they tried to stop only to fail.
Naruto landed and spun around three times, bisecting three men before slicing downwards. The memory of Hiruzen perfecting the Mud Wall Jutsu playing through his mind as a series of earthen spikes rose up and impaled dozens from behind him as he jumped once again.
Slicing back and striking downwards with both swords, the blond threw two men away; their heads flying off their shoulders before Naruto swung up and cut a man in half using brute strength to bisect his enemy. Swinging down Naruto shattered a large blade before he leapt away, the man's body falling into two separate pieces without ever realizing he had perished as the memory of Hiruzen learned the Great Fireball came to the forefront next as he fell upon his enemies.
Naruto smashed a fist into a leaping ninja's face, caving it in and crushing the woman's skull as an explosion of red filled the air. The memory of Tobirama smiling happily as he and his brother enjoyed a meal with Hiruzen and his other students popped up, Koharu asking a question on Genjutsu before he proposed she learn from Madara showed itself. The Wakizashi snapped in two, but Naruto never relented his assault as he grabbed a man by the front of his face and crushed it with his bare hand. Hefting the Katana up he hurled it ahead and watched as it pierced the head of a man and then another behind him as they charged at him.
Naruto vanished and reappeared with a shunshin nearby, a trail of smoke picking up behind him as he used raw power to boost his speed to incredible levels before he leapt to the sky once again, the memory of Tobirama saying he couldn't be with Madara or Mito due to political repercussions played through his mind. With a roar, Naruto drew his arm back and surged incredible amounts of chakra through his body, a aura of green chakra coating his hand as he roared and smashed his fist into the ground causing the earth to collapse under his power, a rippling motion similar to when a pebble hitting water urging out as the earth fell apart under him. Boulders flew through the air and crashed down, cruising dozens of men and women under their sheer size and weight.
But Naruto wasn't done yet.
With a new pair of swords in his hands, Naruto stabbed a man through the face before pulling back with the other to slice another enemy in half before he leapt up and spun, kicking a ninja's head with enough force to spin their neck around 180 degrees and killing them as he sliced down at the same time and bisected another enemy.
Shunshining away he slid to a stop and looked to the three Jinchuuriki with a snarl. Clasping his hands together, he gave a roar as a gigantic hand rose up from the earth and slammed down, a arm of wood quickly growing behind as he summoned more of his great creation to rise up, halting the enemies advance for a moment before the Wood Golem stood above them in all its glory. With a roar, Naruto forced his giant forward and grabbed the Three and Six Tails by the throats and lifted them off the ground before slamming them down with enough force to crush half the forest to splinters. As this happened, the Seven Tails tried swiping at him, but a mule kick from his Golem sent it flying back as it crashed to the ground.
Lifting the two Jinchuuriki in his grasp, Naruto spun around and released them where Yagura crashed into the ground with Utakata landing on the beetle Bijuu. Grabbing the Three Tails by the head he ripped him off the ground before slamming him back down behind his golem, crushing dozens under the turtle's body. As Isobu's tails struck at him, Naruto moved the Dragon on his Golem and had the tails wrapped up quickly before he grabbed the dragon and spun around in a series of rapid spins before letting go, sending the Three Tails flying through the air where it crashed into the ground a couple miles away.
At the same time, Naruto had the golem reach out and grip as the Seven Tails charged at him. With the beetle held up by its throat, Naruto had the giant wood golem smash a fist into the bug's gut before releasing it long enough to slam the elbow of the arm that once held it down into its back, causing it to crash to the earth and crush dozens more ninja. Raising a foot, Naruto watched as the golem slammed a foot down on its head before grabbing the tails. With a roar, Naruto had the golem rip the Tailed Beasts head from its shoulders, a spray of green guts filled the air as Naruto unleashed his rage and sorrow.
He held no personal hatred towards the Bijuu or their hosts, but for what they had done, he couldn't help but hurt them.
Besides, Chomei had suffered worse under Madara's control. He'd regenerate in a couple months. Though the same couldn't be said about his host; she was surely dead from that.
Raising both arms, Naruto had the Golem jump into the air before smashing both its arms down into the earth, a powerful shockwave blasting out from his position, Saiken suffering the most as her size prevented her from avoiding the attack. Naruto ducked as Isobu rolled at him and unfurled as he tried leaping at him. As the turtle sailed by, Naruto had the golem reach up and grab Isobu by a tail and spun around, smashing the turtle down once-twice-thrice; the earth being ripped apart as Naruto body slammed the monster turtle around like a rag doll before Naruto grabbed Isobu by the mouth and pulled apart, and ripped the beast in two.
He'd be back in a couple years.
Naruto watched as a sea of acid raced at him from Saiken's spot and raced forward, then sliding to a knee before surging Fire Chakra through the Golem and slammed the hands together to release a wave of fire in a fashion similar to Madara's Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu. The Acid was burnt away and Saiken was sent flying back by the shockwave. Dozens burned and melted from the acid or fire, but many more were crushed under the gigantic slug. Walking over to the downed slug, Naruto had his golem grab her by the throat and turned her around before a quick twist snapped Saiken's throat-despite her being a slug her body did need some bones to hold her up. Not satisfied yet, Naruto grabbed her by the head and pulled before a spray of slime and other bits flew through the air as Naruto killed the Six Tails Jinchuuriki.
A surge of chakra drew his attention and Naruto was forced to abandon the Golem as a wave of acid crashed into where he stood and began to melt the golem's face. And now, standing on his own; face to face with roughly 5,000 enemy ninja, Naruto decided it was time to finish this farce of a war. With a massive roar, thousands of shinobi in the front-lines yelled out the name of their Jutsu, and sent a massive wave of various elemental technique's at Naruto. The air was so bright with the techniques being unleashed that it was impossible to even see the massive army.
The Konoha shinobi gasped in terror as the torrent of Jutsu descended upon Naruto. Kushina uttered a silent prayer for her son, and both Satsuki and Mito softly smiled.
"Mokuton Hiijutsu: Jukai Koutan!"
Thousands of Massive tree trunks exploded from the ground beyond Naruto, dispelling the torrent of Jutsu like a predator dispels from its sight a herd of prey.
The countless trees rushed towards the shocked shinobi, their huge size and force of release crushing them, killing them. Their multiple earth walls were pierced through by the force of the wood release, their elemental techniques too small and ineffective to stop the thousands of massive trees descending upon them.
Naruto had stopped his technique and looked at the fleeing shinobi. They came here for a slaughter? Then he would give them it…
"Mokuton: Mokuryuu no Jutsu!"
And much like his golem, an absolutely huge dragon of wood about a third of Konoha's size blasted from the ground, its creator leaping upon its head. It then took flight and hovered over the fleeing shinobi… It then dove full force into the now fully retreating army, crushing them under its weight. Its swiping claws and flailing body destroyed entire battalions of the enemy, and none of their jutsu even left a scratch upon it.
Naruto scoffed. His wood dragon could even take a Bijuudama from Kurama and toss it back. Their weak jutsu would not work…
The remaining two thousand tried to scatter in all directions but it was in vain. Five more wood dragons were born out of the earth…encircling the invaders and hemming them up in a circle of people.
XxX
The Konoha shinobi watched with reverence and downright worship as Naruto wielded their most sacred bloodline to rain destruction on the enemies of the village.
Kakashi, Kushina and Jiraiya watched with amazement as they saw the full power of the Mokuton being wielded for the first time in nearly a century.
"Is this the power of the Mokuton….?" Kushina asked faintly. Kakashi was watching as if he did not want to miss even a single instant of the spectacle, his Sharingan eye out and recording the battle to commit it to memory.
"Not really. Hashirama can go far beyond this…" said Satsuki proudly. "He was called god of Shinobi for a reason."
Kushina dumbly looked back towards the now ending battle. Dozens of Shinobi were fleeing rapidly from her enraged son, trying to survive the rage of the Shodai Hokage bearing down upon them to no avail..
The various invaders were all but destroyed by this point.
"Mokuton: Kakujai Korin!" Naruto yelled, and a dense forest sprouted within the encirclement of his dragons, startling the terrified shinobi imprisoned within.
Hundreds upon hundreds of huge flowers grew, spitting their pollen into the air. The trapped shinobi inhaled the lethal pollen, dying instantly in the hundreds.
The circling wood dragons along with his own pounced upon the eight hundred survivors of the massacre.
These men stood no chance. They were simply torn apart by the six dragons.
Naruto looked around at the huge forest he had created and at the slaughtered bodies of the invaders in their hundreds with an impassive face.
It was over so fast…
They had to be destroyed but he still grieved for it, his anger forgotten. War's wastefulness…was beyond comparison. He really hoped that these villages learned through this defeat would help preserve the peace of Konoha…...
But the ten to twelve thousand he had slaughtered were loyal shinobi who had died for their village. They had to be returned to the earth…
"Doton: Yusha no maiso!"
XxX
The Ninja's of Konoha all watched silently as the dead everywhere in the plateau were swallowed up by the earth, their traces wiped clean.
Kushina watched as her son had just killed hundreds of enemies and buried them. Minato did not even compare to this kind of strength.
You are indeed a god among shinobi, Hashirama-sama… thought Jiraiya, watching Naruto walk back with an immensely sad expression.
The gatekeepers Izumo and Kotetsu opened the gates with a deep bow. Naruto just entered wearily, and appeared in front of Kushina, Satsuki and Mito. Mito and Satsuki just ran up to him and hugged him hard, Satsuki kissing him on the lips with a look of understanding on her face.
"You fought like a god, my husband…", Mito said proudly, looking at his face.
It seemed that most of the Konoha shinobi had not recognized the young Mito in all the turmoil. They all bowed deeply to Naruto, Kushina, Kakashi and Jiraiya leading the three of them, with nothing but awe and reverence on their faces.
Naruto bowed back deeply as well, leading to resounding cheers through Konoha.
"Let's go home, Satsuki-chan, Mito-chan, Kaa-san. I trust you can handle the rest, ero-sennin…"
Jiraiya nodded. "Go home and rest for now, Gaki. You will doubtless be summoned later…"
Naruto nodded and disappeared with his wife and mother. He had a student and a Hokage to mourn.
Stories spread through Konoha like wildfire of the defeat of ten minor villages by a new God of Shinobi wielding Mokuton again, reigniting the Hi no Ishi that their long departed Shodai imparted on them years ago in its Shinobi.
They all stared together from the battlements at the huge forest that had been birthed during the battle and named it…
The forest of the god.
Alright then, that is a much was changed, but I certainly added onto this fight. I felt it was needed to have some actual sorrow filled memories from Naruto's life as Hashirama play through the battle before he finished it all on his own.
