Warning: I do not own RWBY, that belongs to Oum & Rooster Teeth. Nor Naruto that is shonen and his creator.

"Well, I call that a major success" said naruto.

"Indeed, one more step closer to the hat" Sasuke agreed.

"Yeah and that one gives a little less than a quarter of the voting bloc" Sakura cheered, before their numbers only reached an eighth and that was just barely. Now with the sudden influx of Inuzuka the haruno couldn't help but feel giddy and hopeful.

"Quite, but don't let our success blind you two. We still have two more major clan members and a vast number of smaller clans to bring to our side if we want to stand a chance against Hiruzen" Ozma added. "The days of slandering, rumor spreading, charitable acts, or speeches are over. From her on out we must focus on strengthening our power bloc and show the future we bring."

"Wait, does the mean we're—" Naruto nodded as his head "—So we're actually going to reveal that stuff. I thought you wanted to keep it a secret?"

"The machines can be keep a secret for now, but the resources that will bring this future, that we can show. We have gather enough people for konoha to start asking a very important question. What are we providing to show we should take the role as hokage? That, is what we need to show, let us give them a future they can't say no to."

"Will that be enough to get the other clans to our side?" she asked.

"It'll certainly make them consider it"

"Out of all the clans the inuzuka were the last I would've imagined. This is how they replay years of loyalty" Homaru whispered.

"There is nothing we can do, we can deal with them after we take care of the senju" said Koharu as she patted the man on the back. The women knew her teammate had many good friends that were inuzuka, she herself as well. But this was completely unexpected, if the senju was able to bring one the most loyal clans to his side ...

No, she shook herself of that line of thought. What they need was a strategy, not wondering what the uzumaki would do next. "Hiruzen, we need to make sure the Aburame and Hyuga remain on our side, we can't let naruto reach out for any more major clans!"

"Jeez, like if we didn't know that already councilwoman" Jiraiya sneer as the Koharu glared at the man.

"Jairya, stop trying to provoke my teammate. And you Koharu, you know that I am looking into a solution" Hiruzen sighed.

"What about marriage? You have a young grandson and the head of the hyuga clan has a daughter at the same age. Let us bound clan sarutobi and hyuga together and end this farce of an election" Koharu offered.

"I thought we were shinobi, not nobles" The sannin quipped.

"Don't be naive, you know it as well as I do that political marriages are all too common in our world. We can worry about fending off the hyuga elders from the hat later" she replied.

"Still don't think this is the right idea. Outside of it being morally wrong and the kids probably ending up with an unhappy marriage the hyuga don't like it when hokage buts into clan matters; And deciding the choice of marriage definitely falls right into that. Plus, how will the other clans fell if we try to force that, the first hokage made many concessions and staying out of the clan matters was one" warned Jiraiya.

"He is right Koharu, we cannot alienate any more clans. The Nara, Akimichi, & Yamanaka are still loyal to us as they have been for generations. The minor clans are still torn and many are looking towards naruto's ideas as a new future. As much as I hate to say it I fear I have done little to garner the loyalty of the Aburame and the actions since the hyuga incident have cooled our relationship with the hyuga" said Hiruzen.

"He is right, we have neglected the other clans in favor of pursuing the interest of konoha and naruto seems to exploiting those underlying tensions" Homaru agreed. The old man thought on it and like his teammate realized they never went far with building ties with the other clans. With their ties to three of the major clans and the power of the third hokage they never saw the reason to deepen ties.

Of course now he wished he could smack his younger self. They couldn't go now, it would smell of desperation and the clans may not want to side with them, if other powers hear of this they may try to test konoha's power.

"Koharu, go to the minor nobles and see if you can get their support, their are quite a few clans that have ties to the nobility and that should push them towards us. Homaru, see to the battalions still aboard, see if their support is with us and if not change it. Jiraiya, I need you to find where naruto is getting his funds and resources. Tsunade, you are still popular among many the female population and many look up to you as a role model. See if we can increase our influence over them" Hiruzen ordered.

Before any of them could go one of attendants entered into the room. Beckoning the chunin over the women gave a three scrolls to the kage, each one with the seal of the other great villages. Kumo, Iwa, and Kiri, each scroll has the seal of their respective kage.

...

...

"So the other kages have finally began their movement" Sarutobi muttered.

Sharingan eyes watched as the chunin's life fades away. A massive blade peeled of the man's back. No, it was not a blade more like a blunt tool with it's only redeeming quality was it's unique ability. The blade growled as the blood on it began to disappear, being absorbed in the beast, or as Kisame explained it.

"Ho? Something wrong Itachi? You seem rather quiet, well ... more quiet than usual, is it the feeling of coming home? Is the great Itachi Uchiha feeling homesick?" the large shark like man asked. The kiri-nin winced as he felt his body erupt in flames, tendrils of earth reaching out and digging into his skin.

He shook off the genjutsu. "Tch, no need to be so harsh, can't a man ask a question?"

...

"You know why we are here. He wishes to see the situation within Konoha" Itachi spoke.

"And test the Kyuubi jinchuriki" Kisame added "You know I really want to see what this kid can do, if the rumors are true about his bloodline or anything else of his powers ..."

"We are to observe and retreat once sufficient info has been gain" the traitor Uchiha jumped of his boldur "And nothing more than that"

"Tch, always the spoil sport aren't you" the sharkman grinned "Oh well, hopefully konoha has something better in store. Samehada has been getting a little angsty recently" the man patted his blade as it moved along inside it's bandages.

The uchiha shook his head as he turned his attention back to the village ... perhaps kisame was right.

"By the gods, never thought the kid would get the Inuzuka of all clans" Asuma whistled.

"Hoho, Kakashi your student is certainly not one to pull punches. A lot of clans see the inuzuka clan as one of the most loyal clans and since they turned towards Naruto's faction ... why I find it hard for others not to follow. Why I just heard some minor clans already pledging their allegiance to him" Gai cheered.

"What can I say, my student has a way with words. Look at gaara for instance" said Kakashi.

"How can you two look so joyful? When konoha's enemies learn of this they will no doubt start to poke at our defences and test our strength. Mind you we're a bit stretched as it is" Kurenai warned "Your student is only making the situation worst for all of konoha for god's sake."

"And you think my student will make us like Kiri" The copy-nin narrowed his eyes. Accusations to him was one thing, to his students was another.

"You know that isn't what she means kakashi" Asuma quickly came in "Besides, her nerves are just a bit frayed at the moment. All of us have been pulling double if not triple shifts recently. Seems like dad is worried Orochimaru or the other nations may want to poke at us"

"I doubt the other nations will try anything. Outside of owning two biju we have a wood user and one who can use it's abilities to the fullest, none would want to fight a wood user who can suppress a biju. The only thing I'm worried about is if the other nations would want to pull a kumo" said kakashi. That caused the jonin to grimaced.

He was right, naruto was the first male in nearly decades that showed such a scared bloodline. Any nation worth their salt would be interested in having him either in their control or even his children and with all the rumors of his powers a lot of people would kill for his powers. Kumo was silent, Kiri was still in its civil war, and Iwa seemed disinterested in the election. On top of that other nobles have been asking for naruto or even offering marriages to him, all of which he either declined or didn't answered.

"I agree with you on that" said Kurenai, "The last thing we want to Kumo coming here, after the shit they tried to push through."

"Agreed" Kakashi paid the waitress as the four of them left

"However, naruto is far older and is not naive to take their offers. Besides, with two of the sannin here every nation be weary of trying something like that." Kakashi argued.

"You really have a lot of confidence in your student, you know even the best of us can slip up" Asuma warned.

"Perhapes, but something about naruto is telling me otherwise ... don't you agree, Itachi" said Kakashi to the two shinobi in front of him.

...

"Tch, already? I thought you said we could evade your old friends" the tall man grumbled.

"Kakashi was once my squad captain. Out of everyone among the jonin force he was the one who could spot my chakra" said Itachi. The missing nin took off his hat, his sharingan eyes staring lazily at his former comrades. "I would ask of you four to leave us, I rather not spill any blood today I heard from an old lady it brings bad luck."

"Coming from the man that killed his kin?" Gai scoffed "You two will not be escaping here!"

"Oh? Are you sure about that?" Kisame took off his hat "Don't forget about me either. Names Kisame, I think some of you have heard about me."

"Kisame Hoshigaki, member of the infamous seven swordsmen and known as the daimyo killer. Heard you killed nearly an entire dynasty and killed even more lords along the way. Last time I checked you left before the civil war started" said Kakashi.

"Heh please, as if I would waste my time at that rustle. I was already the strongest there it would be a waste of my time. But you four may be different, samehada has been getting rather hungry, can I itachi?" the swordsmen asked.

"Seems we will have no option" the Uchiha sighed "Take care of Asuma and Kurenai and be quick about it. I'll take on Kakashi and Gai". Both Itachi and kakashi went first.

"Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu" both yelled as the their jutsu's collided. Both sides sprang away as Itachi and Kisame went on the offense.

Asuma clashed against the Kisame's blade as the jonin felt his joints pressed tightly. The missing-nin had far more strength than anticipated, he began converting his chakra into wind chakra funneling it into his blades. Right before he widened his eyes.

"And now you see my swords ability, no matter what kind of jutsu you use my blade will consume it all" the shark-nin spoke "Plus all that nice tasty chakra you gave me I can do THIS!" Asume cried out in pain as Kisame broke through his guard and tore off a chunk of arm off, blood coming out quickly.

"Kurenai, now!" The black haired women vanished as dozens of hands came and grabbed hold of him. The man struggled before he felt something sharp tear through his chest. Suddenly he smirked, tearing the bindings and swinging his blade forcing Kurenai to back off.

"Not bad, using a genjutsu to trick me. Shame you had to face off me" he said. Rushing forth the two clashed as Kurenai put a defense against the S-nin's assault but as she fought it was clear Kisame was merely toying with her now. She tried jump away before the man raised his hand, a tendril of water sprung from the nearby river and forced her back "Who said you could leave?"

"Me" said Asume as he sliced the tendril in half. Wasting no time his blades glowed green before a strong gale wind blew Kisame away. He wasted no time and began forming seals "Kurenai, fire chakra now!"

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough jutsu / Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu" the gust of wind transformed into a wall of fire as it slammed into the missing nin. Burning him alive as his blade absorbed as much of the fire chakra as possible

...

Right before his body dissolved into water "Water Style: Water Shark Bomb" the two jumped out of the way as water exploded beneath them. Coming from the water Kisame glared at the jonin as the ground beneath him cracked from his own chakra "Alright, I guess I can get more serious than"

As he fought Itachi dodged out of Gai's move. The traitor uchiha sighed as he jumped out of wind jutsu from kakashi before returning with a earth jutsu, the taijutsu master was more troublesome than he thought. It appears Gai seemed to have developed a taijutsu against the sharingan since the last time he saw the man. Moving back he fired another fireball jutsu and forced them away.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu" the second Itachi went after kakashi as he focused on Gai. The two engaged in a taijutsu fight before the man's skin exploded in red. Now he was using the gates. Itachi was forced into the defensive as each blow became far more powerful than the last, dodging out of the attack the ground formed a crater as he jumped away.

His clone was faring better than he was, the two of them exchanged minor jutsu's and peppered each other if they got to close. It would be easy to simply go all out but that meant allowing everyone to know where they were and fighting two sannin and the third hokage was a death sentence.

They merely needed to buy time.

Clasping his hands he felt the tenketsu in his lungs and arms expand, converting chakra into fire as it focused in his lungs "Fire Style: Dragon Fire jutsu" fire exploded out in concentrated stream. The moment it got close to Gai it shifted around him and turning into a pillar of fire, he the formed earth chakra before claping both his feet. Underneath Gai spikes came out, forcing the man to jump as they grew upward.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu" a giant water dragon brusted into the flame column and engulfed Gai. The water pushed him as Kakashi grabbed him.

"Many Thanks Kakashi, but we can't keep fighting them. Asuma and Kurenai are being thrown by Itachi's partner" said Gai "I'll make a shadow clone and get help."

"No, you will not. I rather not fight my old leader at the moment" said Itachi. The Uchiha kicked away Gai, right as Kakashi plunged a kunai to his skull, blood flowed out as the body jerked and fell.

...

...

"D-Did you kill him?" Gai asked.

"No ... that was too easy" Kakashi rolled the body and gasped. It was another body ... a konoha nin, one he saw going to patrol the area. "Dammit! It's a possession Jutsu! Neither of them are here."

"Ho? Already found that out. Man Itachi was right when he said you were slow" Kisame laughed, letting Asuma's strike killed him. It showed another Konoha body instead.

"What the hell is going on? I've never seen a jutsu like this" asked Kurenai. Kneeling down she grew furious at being tricked in killing their comrades. "Have any of you?"

"Yeah, saw something similar back with Suna I think. It's some kind of possession jutsu, takes over the host body with the users chakra" said Asuma.

"Indeed, however it is a forbidden jutsu last I checked and the only one scroll existed for it. After the 3rd war suna's council decided it was too much and clients would rather go to villages that didn't possess people" Kakashi added. "However, that still does not explain why they are here? Why would two S-rank missing-nins come to our village. They weren't here to destroy Konoha for sure."

...

...

"—Naruto!" Gai widened his eyes "Think about it, why would they come here. Itachi is the only one with in depth knowledge on how our barrier works and Kisame's blade eats chakra ... that and his nickname is the tailless tailed beast. They weren't here to fight, but to get us away from him" the man growled.

Everyone's hair stood up as they heard sparks coming out of Kakashi's hand.

"Asume, Kurenai, you two get the hokage we'll deal with them" said Kakashi.

"But where is Naruto then?"

"I think I know"

"Well, this is quite the surprise" noted naruto. He raised his eyebrow at the two men "And what brings the killer of the Uchiha Clan and his associate to Sasuke's home?"

"This is also my home to Naruto" Itachi said softly.

"And you murdered all your kin, I think it is safe to say you are not welcome here anymore" he countered "But please, what brings you two here?"

"We're here to take you brat, orders" said Kisame.

"Well, in that case" Both men bodies glowed before thrown away. Green fire enveloped his cane "I have to disappoint you that I won't go down quietly."

He glared at the missing-nins with burning magic.

"Let us begin"
