Hey, here's the newest chapter of this story.

Antex-the Legendary Zoroark, thanks for your review man. I'll probably do the Pein fight after this then the Aincrad arc.

To the Guest, well, whether Fuu dies or not, depends on your reviews, as in everyones. If she dies, well, she dies, if she lives, I'll pair her with Shino.

To that other Guest, yeah, that's what I planned to do. And yeah, he'll need a lotta stamina... Haha

So yeah, here's the 41st chapter.

XXX

A while later, Hikari, Asuna, Suguha and Sinon were in the Hokage's office. Tsunade sighed as Hikari gave her report. The Hokage had dismissed Kurenai and her team, but told Hikari and her team to stay.

The last Senju said, "So, the Yonbi, Gobi and Rokubi are captured..."

Hikari nodded, "Yeah..."

Before she could speak, Hikari heard the Kyubi say, "Hikari, make a shadow clone, and tell Sinon and Asuna to do the same. I thought about it and using shadow clones would make it easier for us to talk."

The girl nodded and made a clone, "Sinon-chan, Asuna-chan, I think you two should make a clone, that way Matatabi and Isobu can also talk."

The two girls nodded and created a shadow clone each as the three bijuu quickly took control of the clones. The Kyuubi spoke, "To be frank, I don't know if they need it to be in order when they capture us. But the Akatsuki started off by coming for us in order of our tails."

Jiraiya nodded, "That's true, so they probably never needed to do that in the first place, that's where they got us."

Isobu grunted, which was weird with Asuna's face, "What bothers me is how fast they got the others... So- the Yonbi, Gobi and Rokubi are by no means weak at all, even if they are sealed in their hosts."

The Kyuubi nodded, "That's true, but they have the Gedo Mazo, meaning they have the Rinnegan."

Asuna then asked, "So, what do we do now?"

Matatabi sighed, "Rest up first. The previous battle wasn't as strenous as it would've been. But we have to move as soon as possible."

Isobu nodded, "Sealing all three bijuu into the statue takes a lot of chakra and stamina, I'd say they'd have to rest a week before they can move again. Even with the Rinnegan."

Hikari nodded, "Right now, the only villages left with the Bijuu, are Konohagakure, Takigakure and Kumogakure. So, if we compare between the three villages, the easiest one to get a Jinchurikii..."

Tsunade nodded, "Takigakure, the Nanabi."

Jiraiya nodded, "I'll go on to Taki first, better inform Shibuki first. Hopefully, he can send the Jinchurikii of the Nanabi to us. That'd protect help protect them."

The Hokage nodded, "Go ahead, you four rest up first, I'll update you once I get everything sorted."

The four girls nodded before Tsunade added, "And I think you should go check up on Kirito. While you were out on a mission, he... overworked himself, if you could say that. Of course, physically he's fine, but well, just wanted to let you girls know."

The four girls nodded, regardless of how normal Kirito was, or rather, how nothing bad happened, the blacksmith still had the cursed mark. Sure, Hikari had made sure none of Orochimaru's influence was left in the seal, and unlike Sasuke's mark, which Hikari sealed away, Kirito's mark was left unsealed. Plus, technically it should have stopped functioning.

But for some unknown reason, the seal was still usable, and Hikari, Jiraiya and Kirito all had found nothing bad about it, so they let Kirito use it. But after what happened recently, there might have been something they missed in the seal.

The girls nodded and they left the office.

Meanwhile, in Kirito's room, the swordsman was looking at the cursed mark on his neck. Ever since he gained the mark, Kirito started having weird dreams.

The dreams mostly happened when he used or did something related to the mark. They felt real, in fact, they were more like memories than dreams. The young man was pretty sure he had never met the people in his dreams, at least in real life. But he felt like he knew them. No, he did know them. But at the same time, he didn't.

That troubled him a lot. And that was just the people that appeared in the dreams. He also dreamt of places that didn't exist in the Elemental Nations, at least, not that he knew of, especially that place where that huge statue, the Granteed, was held.

If there was someplace like that, it would surely be well known through the continent, at least, rumors would flow around.

And the weirdest thing was that when he woke up, he'd remember every single detail from the dreams. How the people looked, what he ate, everything. He'd remember everything, but only for a brief moment, then everything faded away. Of course, he'd remember the gist of everything that happened, but the details just disappeared from his mind.

Kirito then glanced over to the Elucidator and the Dark Repulsor. Sometimes, he'd see an image of two similar but different swords over his own. But he just didn't know where or when he saw them.

The young man sighed and he stood up, walking over to the kitchen to get a cup of water. He knew he probably shouldn't dwell much on it, it would drive him crazy if he did. Dreams can get pretty weird after all, even if he was sure they wouldn't be as crazy as his were.

Then, the door opened, telling him the girls were back. Kirito quickly washed the cup, placing the cup on the rack before he walked out.

The young man waved, "Hey."

Immediately the four girls checked over him. Hikari, Suguha and Sinon checked over him while Asuna ran a brief diagnosis jutsu she had learned a while back. Kirito blinked, "Erm, girls?"

Suguha frowned, "Kirito-kun, are you okay?"

The other three girls nodded as they stared at him. Kirito sighed, "Tsunade, huh..."

Asuna finished her diagnosis and nodded, "Physically you're fine. Hikari-chan, can you check his seal?"

The girl nodded and quickly looked at his mark, channeling chakra into it, which also caused a small sharp sting in Kirito's neck.

The blacksmith winced, "Hey! I'm okay!"

Hikari ignored him and nodded, "The seal is fine."

As the girls checked over him, Kirito sighed, "Girls, I'm fine. I just overworked myself."

He didn't want to tell them about the dreams, the mark and the power it exerted. It didn't have anything to do with Orochimaru, hell, it wasn't bad at all. But Kirito knew if the girls found out, they would have one more problem on their plate. Hikari, and Sinon already had to deal with the Akatsuki, he didn't want more problems for them.

After checking him over once more, the girls relented. Of course, Tsunade had said he was physically fine, but the girls wanted to make sure.

After the four girls settled down, Kirito sighed and sat on the sofa, "So, how did the mission go?"

The girls smiled, Hikari spoke up, "It went smoothly, well, as smoothly as it could have been."

Asuna nodded, "And now I'm the Sanbi Jinchurikii."

Kirito blinked, "Wait... what?"

Sinon nodded, "Yeap, well, being sealed in a Jinchurikii, apparently is the safest way to keep the Bijuu from the Akatsuki, for now anyways. So the Kyubi, Matatabi and Isobu talked about it and Asuna-chan became Isobu's Jinchurikii."

Kirito nodded but was a bit confused, "Isobu?"

Hikari nodded, "The Sanbi's name. You know Matatabi is the Niibi's name, right? Isobu is the Sanbi's name, and I still don't know the Kyuubi's name... Stubborn old fox."

The girl then heard the fox say in her mind, "Once you can fully use my full form, then I will tell you, got it?"

Hikari sighed and nodded before Kirito asked, "So, did you encounter any of the Akatsuki?"

Suguha shook her head, "No, they were hunting the Yonbi, Gobi and Rokubi. Now, only the three of us, the Nanabi, and the Hachibi in Kumogakure are left."

Asuna nodded, "But according to Isobu, Matatabi and the Kyuubi, they'd need to rest for at least a week, after sealing three bijuu into the statue."

Kirito nodded, "I see. Then I guess you should rest. Now that three of you are Jinchurikii, the Akatsuki will come hunt for you."

The three Jinchurikii nodded before Kirito sighed and face-palmed, "Seriously, first Sinon-chan, now Asuna-chan... What's next? Suguha-chan becomes the Nanabi Jinchurikii and I turn out to be a god from another world?"

The girls just laughed as the sole male of the household sighed. Kirito then asked, "So, what now?"

Sinon replied, "Hokage-sama said we should rest for now. Jiraiya is on his way to Takigakure to warn them, hopefully also sent the Nanabi's Jinchurikii here. That'd be safer for them."

Kirito nodded, "I see, that's good then. What about the Hachibi, if I remember correctly, he's in Kumogakure, right?"

Hikari nodded, "Yeah, but since its Kumogakure, I don't think we need to worry much. That is, unless a full scale invasion happens."

Kirito nodded before he asked, "So, you girls hungry?"

The four girls nodded before Kirito got to cooking.

Two days later, in the Namikaze compound private training room/grounds, Asuna, Sinon and Hikari were training their bijuu forms. Well, Asuna and Sinon were, Hikari was still working on eight tails.

Kirito and Suguha sat by a side as they watched them. Suguha sighed, "Well, they're getting stronger... This is just soooo unfair!"

Kirito chuckled as Suguha whined about the three girls getting stronger. He knew the girl wasn't jealous about them having bijuu, it was a burden and a curse in its own. But being a Jinchurikii did have its perks, if you ignore all the down sides with it.

The three girls were now sparring using their chakra cloaks in the first version, all three girls 'wearing' the liquid-like chakra cloak as they sparred.

Earlier when they were discussing about their abilities, it turned out every bijuu would have a tiny part of their abilities passed down as a trait to their Jinchurikii.

As the Kyuubi was the most balanced Bijuu among all nine of them, and he didn't exactly have a specific element, Hikari didn't receive any notable abilities. But what she did have, was improved physical traits and an increased chakra capacity.

When they compared past Uzumaki to her, at her age, she had a relatively large chakra reserve, well, it could be argued that it was just by chance or her genes that caused that, but the Kyuubi had still pointed out that Hikari did have improved physical abilities and stamina.

As for Matatabi, Sinon had received the ability to use the cat's famed blue flames. While not as strong as the actual flames the Niibi used in her full Bijuu form, the blue flames Sinon could use were actually quite powerful, stronger than most normal Katon jutsu, at the very least.

From Isobu, Asuna had her proficiency in Suiton jutsu increased tenfold. The girl now required less chakra for every Suiton jutsu she needed, and she could draw more water from the atmosphere with less effort. Isobu also managed to activate her dormant Hyoton bloodline, which explained her surname, Yuki.

Upon realising that, Asuna realised that Haku was her relative, and she somewhat regretted to not have known him better. But they decided to let the past remain the past and not dwell much into it.

Back to the present, the three Jinchurikii stood in a three-way lock, none of them showing any signs of weakness.

All three of them were only using one tail, as they had agreed before the spar began, as Sinon could only access two tails at most, Asuna having access to three tails at most, while Hikari had access to 8 tails.

After staring at each other for another minute, the three girls charged forward. While Sinon had started implementing her bow and arrows to the chakra cloaks, with Asuna doing the same with her rapier, the two girls were fighting barehanded, just as Hikari did. The Uzumaki had of course, promised not to use her chains, but she didn't say anything about chakra arms.

As the three girls closed in to each other, they all swung their fists at each other. The collision between all three Jinchurikii caused a huge cloud of dust to cover them.

But the dust was blown away as Asuna and Sinon decided to gang up in Hikari, Asuna aiming a kick at Hikari's head, while Sinon threw a punch at the Uzumaki's abdomen.

The last Namikaze just smirked as she used two chakra arms and grabbed Asuna by her leg and Sinon by her arm before she swung them around, sending them flying into each other before they crashed onto the ground.

The two girls got up as quickly as they hit the ground. Sinon and Asuna nodded to each other before they spread out, flanking Hikari.

The two girls then sped through handseals, and Asuna sent an ice dragon, while Sinon sent a stream of blue flames at Hikari.

The Uzumaki didn't visibly react to the attacks, instead, she let out a deep breath and raised her right fist. Then she slammed it hard into the ground, causing a huge crater and a large shockwave, which blew the ice dragon and the stream of blue flames away, or rather, blew them off track, letting them strike random parts of the training ground.

Without another warning, the three girls charged again.

A while later, in Amegakure, Zetsu had just finished giving Pein his report. The leader of the Akatsuki sighed, "I see, good job as usual, Zetsu."

Zetsu nodded before he asked, or rather, the dark side asked, "So, now Konoha has the Kyubi, Niibi and the Sanbi. What will you do?"

Pein replied, "Keep watching them. For now, we rest. Itachi, Kisame, Konan and I need to rest. Sealing all three Bijuu took a lot more than I expected."

Zetsu nodded and wordlessly sunk into the ground. As soon as the plant man left, Pein looked out from the tower, overlooking the forever raining village.

The man thought back on sealing the three Bijuu. By using his chakra rods, he had managed to put all three Jinchurikii in a dead-like state, so it saved them the trouble of holding three raging Jinchurikii.

Then came sealing the three Bijuu. As Hikari had managed to kill off Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu and Hidan, they were short on four members. Zetsu had managed to collect the rings from the corpses, so he could still seal the Bijuu.

But due to the lack of four members, Peinhad to use his paths to replace them. Normally that wouldn't have worked, but he had pumped in more chakra into his paths, so they barely managed to seal the three Bijuu before they gave out.

That meant he had to wait a week before his paths were functional again. The process also took a lot out of Itachi, Kisame and Konan, so they needed rest too.

The man then narrowed his eyes in anger. He had approached Madara to stand in for one of the pillars, but the man had just shrugged it off and told him to deal with it himself.

But that wasn't what ticked him off, no, it was the arrogance in Madara's voice and that blatant disregard for his words. It was as if Madara was looking down upon him, and that infuriated him.

The dead body of Yahiko breathed heavily, calming himself before he realised what he was doing. Lately, Nagato noticed he was living more in Yahiko's body more and more. It was as if he was using his friend's body as a replacement for his ill body.

Nagato sighed before he pushed those thoughts away as he watched over his village again.

The next day, Team Yugao, Team Kurenai and Team Kakashi were on their way to Takigakure. The previous day, Shibuki had agreed to Jiraiya's suggestion for Fuu to be sent to Konohagakure.

The Sannin had immediately sent a message to Tsunade, and she decided to send Kurenai, Kakashi, Yugao and their respective teams to escort Fuu back.

Normally she would have only sent a team, but this time, the Hokage didn't want to take any chances, so she decided to send three teams to get Fuu back, along with Jiraiya. That would definitely ward off the Akatsuki.

Tsunade would also have sent Kirito, but after what happened to him the past few days, the woman decided against it. Besides, even if he was listed as one of her ninja, Kirito wasn't exactly one of her subordinates, more like a freelance mercenary.

The Hokage also knew full well where his loyalties laid, hence another reason she rarely sent him on missions. Besides, she only sent him on missions with Hikari, Asuna, Suguha and Sinon.

The Hokage sighed and looked at the stack of paper work on her desk. True, compared to a few years ago, the amount of paperwork she had now was child's play, but it was still annoying, as the many civilians, mostly parents, would send in stupid requests, like reduce standards in the ninja academy as their children couldn't take how hard it was, or, how she should reprimand the academy instructors because of how strict they were.

Tsunade just sighed and face palmed at those requests. She didn't know why, but as of lately, those parents were getting overprotective, too overprotective. Those children are training to be ninja for god's sake, that meant they were training to kill, to fight.

The Hokage sighed again before she took the request she was looking at and threw it into a pile of similar requests, all ready to be disposed of.

Meanwhile, in a random location, Zetsu was reporting to Madara, or at least, the man who called himself Madara.

The masked man nodded, "Thank you, Zetsu."

He turned and mused aloud, "So, they're going to get the Nanabi now. That's a bit of a problem, on one hand, it makes looking for the remaining Bijuu easier."

Madara then turned to Zetsu, "Whatever, we have nothin to lose, not yet anyways. Zetsu, I believe its time to test out the White Zetsu clones, what do you think?"

Both parts of the plant man only smirked as they got to work.

An hour later, the three teams were at the entrance of Takigakure, which was a huge waterfall. Kakashi nodded, "We're here."

Sakura asked, "We're here? I don't see the village."

Hikari grinned, "Its a hidden village, come on."

Ignoring the pinkette's confused face, the others just followed Kakashi and Hikari. As they walked, Sasuke just chuckled as he patted Sakura's shoulder, "Come on, it's your first time visiting another shinobi village, right? Not every village is like Konoha."

The medic just sighed as she followed the others into the waterfall, going into the underwater caves that'd lead them to the village.

As soon as they entered the caves, they were met with a team of Taki ninja. One of them asked, "Halt, state your business."

Kakashi smoothly took out the letter he received from the Hokage and showed it to the man. The Taki ninja nodded and moved aside, signalling his team to let them pass.

As they walked, Kiba commented, "That's strict..."

Shino nodded, "Of course, they don't have geographical advantage like the other villages do. Besides, if you're living in a village surrounded by all five major ninja villages, you'd want to be tight on security. Takigakure is known for not being invaded for so many years for a reason."

The Inuzuka just nodded as the others followed quietly.

Soon, they exited the caves to see a village. It wasn't as big as Konoha, but considering where they just were, it was quite big.

Sasuke said, "Wow, for a place hidden so well, its actually quite big."

Hikari grinned, "Of course. This place is built around a huge tree, and with several techniques they use, along with the waterfall and the thick forest, they managed to build a barrier around the village."

Kakashi nodded, "Yeah, that said, we'll go find Jiraiya. You guys can explore around first."

Yugao and Kurenai nodded in agreement. Normally the whole team would be required to follow them, but since the group was so large, it wasn't necessary. So only the Jounin would go to the office.

Asuna nodded, "Cool, I guess."

The thre Jounin nodded before they headed for the office. As the Jounin left, Sakura asked, "So, now what?"

Suguha looked at Hikari, "Hikari-chan, you've been here before right? Any place you wanna show us?"

The Uzumaki pondered a while before she saw Shino and remembered a place Fuu showed her.

The girl said, "Well, Shino, there's a place with a lot of rare insects, if I remember correctly, wanna have a look?"

Hikari swore she saw a glint in the quiet man's eyes as he nodded, "Sure."

The group then followed Hikari towards a secluded area in the village, which was located at one of the corners of the village. True enough, the place was filled with bugs.

Kiba blinked, "Holy shit... You weren't kidding when you said there were a lot of bugs here..."

Hikari nodded and giggled upon seeing the slightly creeped out faces Sasuke, Sakura, Asuna, Sinon and Suguha were having. She figured Hinata and Kiba were used to it due to Shino, but that didn't matter anyways.

The Uzumaki explained, "You see, Fuu is the Jinchurikii of the Nanabi, who also happens to be a kabutomushi. So she showed me this place when I was here during my trip."

Sasuke nodded, not wanting to pry, and wanting to get away as soon as possible. The Uchiha started to back away before he was held by Shino.

Sasuke asked, "What?"

Shino motioned to his feet, where several beetles were moving by his feet, "Careful not to kill them."

Sasuke just nodded as he moved his feet away from the beetles. Then they heard a voice from behind, "I was wondering who was brave enough to come here, but turns out I got worried for nothing."

Everyone turned to see a green haired girl grinning at them. Hikari smiled and waved, "Hey, Fuu-chan."

The Jinchurikii of the Seven tails smiled, "It's been a while, Hikari-chan. So, these are your friends?"

Hikari nodded and they introduced themselves. After that, Shino frowned, his inspects were restless upon seeing Fuu. It took everything henhad to keep them from rushing out of his body.

The young man asked, "Fuu, was it? What are you? My colonies are restless ever since we met you."

Fuu blinked before she realized it was her status as the Nanabi Jinchurikii, "Oh, ermm, you're an Aburame, right? Sorry, bugs tend to... like me, it comes with being Choumei's host."

Shino nodded, "I see. So, you work with bugs?"

Fuu shook her head, "Not exactly. I have a deeper connection with them, that's all. I mean, I can understand them, but I can't actually control them or work with them like you do."

The Aburame nodded before he asked, "I'm curious though, I mean, these insects, they're supposed to be incredibly rare, even in the Forest of Death back in Konoha. How do you have so many of them here?"

Fuu blushed slightly, "Well, when you're the Jinchurikii of a huge seven tailed beetle..."

She trailed off, and Shino nodded in understanding. For the next half an hour, the two talked about all the bugs in existence. Shino also showed Fuu his kikaichu and the two hit off easily.

At a side, Sasuke and Kiba blinked, the Uchiha said, "This is the first time I've seen Shino talk so much..."

Kiba could only nod in agreement while the girls started talking among themselves about how Shino and Fuu would do as a couple.

After a while, Hikari fake coughed loudly, getting the two insect enthusiasts' attention, "I'd hate to interrupt, but as you can see, we don't really want to stand here all day."

Fuu blushed slightly, while Shino seemed indifferent, but if you looked closely, you can notice the red hue on his cheeks. The green haired girl nodded, "Sorry, so, its your first time here, right? Apart from Hikari-chan of course."

Everyone nodded before Fuu said, "Well, come on, I'll show you around."

No one disagreed and they followed Fuu around the village. As they walked, Fuu would tell them about the village and point out the better parts of the village.

As they walked, Fuu said to Suguha, "Hey, you're a wind user, right?"

The katana user blinked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Fuu grinned, "I'm somewhat of one. I can use scale powder and I have a natural compatibility with wind jutsu, something the Nanabi gave me. It also helps me feel the wind around a person, so to speak, so I can tell how well a person is with wind jutsu. And you seemed very connected to the wind."

Suguha nodded, "I see, I wonder if it has anything to do with my sage mode..."

Fuu tilted her head, "Sage mode?"

Hikari piped in, "Yeap, its somethin the four of us have. Well, Jiraiya-sensei has one, but his is still incomplete. Its where we connect with our surroundings and take in nature chakra, which enhances our abilities."

Fuu nodded, "I see, I guess that's a possibility."

The Jinchurikii of the Seven tails grinned, "Then I think we can work together well! My fighting style relies heavily on wind jutsu and my wings."

Suguha laughed slightly, "Then, let's have a spar when we reach Konoha."

Fuu nodded with a smile before they continued walking around the village.

After a while, as they were walking, a Taki ninja approached them, "Fuu, Shibuki-sama wants you at the office."

Fuu nodded and glanced apologetically at the group of Konoha ninja, "Sorry guys, gotta go."

Hikari nodded, "It's okay, I think I know what it's about."

Fuu blinked in confusion before she vanished along with the Taki ninja. With Fuu, she quickly reached the office and saw Shibuki, Kurenai, Yugao, Kakashi and Jiraiya waiting for her.

The leader of Takigakure greeted, "Hello, Fuu."

Fuu waved, "Shibuki-sama, what's up?"

Shibuki gestured to his guests, "They're here to pick you up for Konoha, along with their teams."

Fuu nodded to the four Jounin in respect, knowing who they are, or at least, some of them. (technically Jiraiya is a Jounin, as there isn't any higher rank than Jounin, apart from the Hokage)

Jiraiya smiled and looked at Shibuki, "Thanks, Shibuki."

The man shook his head, "No, if anything, we should thank you. This will keep both Fuu and the village safe."

Fuu kept silent, she knew of the Akatsuki, Jiraiya and Hikari had told them a while ago. The girl knew Taki wasn't strong enough to fend off a group of S-ranked nuke ninja, so her presence was a risk to them, even if most of the villagers were warming up to her.

The girl then heard the Nanabi's voice, "Hey, it's gonna be fine, I think it'll be better even. There's Hikari, and I'm pretty sure that archer and the girl carrying the rapier are Jinchurikii too. So you won't be alone, plus, there's that Shino guy too."

Fuu nodded before she realized what the bijuu had said and blushed, 'Choumei! I just met the guy, sure, he's cool! But I don't even know what he looks like under that coat!'

The bijuu just laughed as Fuu sighed. She then noticed the others looking at her, no doubt knowing she was talking to her tenant. Fuu asked, "So, now what?"

Shibuki cleared his throat and looked at the Konoha ninja, "I suppose you should get going?"

Kakashi nodded, "Of course, thank you, Shibuki-sama."

The man just nodded before the five left the office and went to meet up with the other Konoha ninja.

A while later, the group had left the hidden village and were on their way back. As they leapt through the trees, Shino noticed Fuu's expression and asked, "Fuu-san, are you okay?"

The girl forced a smile, "I'm fine, I'll miss Taki, but I'll be fine."

Shino just nodded, ignoring the shocked faces Kiba and Sasuke were sporting as they leapt past another tree.

Then, Jiraiya said urgently, "Stop!"

Everyone stopped just in time as a man wearing an orange swirl mask and the Akatsuki robes appeared in front of them.

The masked man spoke, "It's been a while, Kyuubi, and Hatake Kakashi."

Hikari glared at the man, recognising his status as an Akatsuki member. Kakashi on the other hand, stared at him confused, he had not met any Akatsuki members that wore that mask, nor did any Akatsuki members that he met, apart from Kisame and Itachi, left alive.

Asuna also glared at him, "Akatsuki..."

The man chuckled, "Call me Tobi, and just a note, I might wear this robe, but I assure you, I'm different from them."

Sinon drew her bow and arrow, "That's what they always say."

The man chuckled, "True, but I wouldn't be so relaxed, Niibi."

Sasuke drew his sword and stared at the man, his Sharingan flaring, "Oh yeah? You and what army?"

Tobi laughed, "I'm glad you asked. To answer your question though, this one."

He snapped his fingers and in an instant, countless White Zetsu clones appeared around them from the trees. Tobi spread his arms in a grand manner, "Now, let the games begin!"

Done. So this is the 41st chapter. So, here comes the big question, DOES FUU LIVE OR DIE?!

Review your answer, or pm me. I'll decide once I have at least 3 to 5 answers. So yeah, until the next chapter.
