Hello everyone.

Another chapter for you. It will not be long but hope it's okay.

##################

lord 7th: Thank you. Sakumo will have his fight next chapter :)

MIKE202303: Thanks bro.

mahouka9: Thank you. Hope you enjoy this one ad there is a small development between them.

Beastyd22: That's the spirit, enjoy bro.

biginferno: Hope you like it!

Silver7875: Yup, thanks for the note. I completely forgot about that detail though It's funny as in my other story I actually remembered.

anarion87: Thank you :)

Uchiha Arashi: Both of them are older in this fic. Same age as Naruto (15 in this chapter)

Percy Jackson7: Yeah, I always loved Tobirama as a character.

OneTrueAkatsuki: in some subjects yes. For example, he doesn't care if he kills someone for his village but there is always a limit which is as far as he goes. He will not let himself be manipulated 'for the good of his village' as he knows there is a lot of evil inside Konoha. Though with the war everyone is paddling against the same tide so...

Xanthosxd: I know, actually I read it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Battle for Nami no Kuni

(8 Months Later)

It has been a few months since the battle between Naruto and Kakuzu, the death of Hisen who gave his life to protect the village by drinking a great amount of Eiyu no Mizu and after defeating multiple opponents his body couldn't take it anymore. Though he died with a smile on his face.

It was his son that took the role of Leader, even though he was very young, being only 17 years-old, he's very matured and has decent Shinobi training. The Konoha's squad thought they would have to reopen the negotiations but to their relief the young leader said that he trusted his father well-enough in this matters. So, they left the small village.

On their way back Mikoto scolded Naruto for risking her life like that, much to his annoyance and Sakumo's amusement as he noticed the amount of affection in the beauty's words.

Sakumo surprised Naruto when he said that his wife was expecting. The young Senju almost snorted at that, knowing how lazy his Sensei was so where and how the hell did he get a girlfriend he would never know. Though he got a little bit shocked when offered to be the child's godfather. He accepted eagerly as he felt that his family had just grown a bit more.

After three months everything was going fine, the alliance with Takigakure gave them a little more room to breath. Their Shinobi forces kept growing both in quantity and quality.

It was by the Fifth month that Sandaime Hokage received disturbing news.

Flashback (3 Months Ago)

Konohagakure no Sato

Hokage's Office

"... Why would Sunagakure plan to attack Nami no Kuni, -ttebane?"

It was a blond-haired with icy blue eyes boy who replied "Kushina-chan, every Nation is now trying to amass territories or forcing alliances for themselves. For example, Nami is a good strategic point if they decide to make a direct attack on us, not just that but if they succeed in conquering Nami they will have many resources such as minerals. Kirigakure won't even bother with that small country as they are busy with their own civil war."

Kushina hummed in thought at what her friend said before asking "What of the other Great Villages?"

It was the youngest in the group that answered this time, with a monotone voice "Here, I'll explain it for you using a graphic."

Finishing he went through some hand-seals before manipulating his chakra with his fingertips as blue strings started to shape into several letters and lines. It took 10 seconds, everything was explained in front of her and her mind started to work miles per second with the graphic made of chakra on the wall.

Tsuchi no Kuni: Iwagakure no Sato - Kusagakure / Ishigakure

Kaze no Kuni: Sunagakure no Sato - Tanigakure

Kaminari no Kuni: Kumogakure no Sato - Shimogakure / Yugakure

Hi no Kuni: Konohagakure no Sato - Takigakure / Yu no Kuni

Tetsu no Kuni - Neutral

"... Our allies, Yu no Kuni is between Hi and Kaminari's borders. The Kazekage knowing this made a temporary alliance with the Raikage. If Kumo supports them winning over Nami, they will help them as well with Yu Country. At least that's what rumours says though It makes sense. Regardless, we will be involved in two-fronts and no matter what we can't lose Nami because-"

It was the Hokage who continued/interrupted "... because if we lose Nami, Konoha and Taki will be surrounded by all sides."

Everyone was in deep thought at the implications. This was basically a declaration of War but none of the Nations had made the first step yet. What worried them was the fact that It didn't even have started and there was already two Great Villages with a common plan that would affect negatively Konoha. They were probably still mad for losing both the 1st and 2nd War.

A grey haired man spoke for the first time "So, how long do we have? An attack like that should take its time to be well-planned."

With a sigh, Hiruzen replied "Around 3-4 months."

Sakumo hummed in thought before voicing his opinion "We don't have much time then. What are you planning to do?"

"We will be marching to Nami no Kuni in 3 months time. We are closer than any of them. Jiraya's spy reported that they were planning to send their Jinchūriki so I'll be personally leading this squad."

Everyone turned their gazes behind them as a new figure entered the room and walked into the middle of the office ignoring the shocked looks of the people there except Hiruzen and Naruto who had sensed him already.

Sakumo broke out of his shock and addressed the figure "K-Kagami-sama, are you sure that's wise?"

The now identified Uchiha Kagami replied without missing a beat "Yes. Although I'm old, my experience will prove invaluable for the success of this mission. There will be roughly 350 Shinobis on our side as we still haven't fully recovered from the last war, against at least 300 Suna-nins. Kumogakure will be the wild card. Our quality will have to destroy Sunagakure's army faster before their backup arrive..."

He stopped for a few seconds before glancing to someone at his side "Naruto-san, you will have to lead their Jinchūriki away of the battlefield or we will be destroyed. You have your father's notes plus Mito's training, you are one of of our best Fuinjutsu user. Do you think you can defeat him?"

Naruto scoffed before returning to his impassive gaze "Sure, I grow tired of these Kages and Higher-ups that think Bijūs are just tools to be used the way they wish."

If the Tou-chan's notes are true then Bijūs are not mindless beasts. They are sentient and have feelings just like us humans. I need to try and speak to one of them if I ever get the chance. I don't know how but... I need to try.

Everyone was looking at him in curiosity but filled that for later as there was a War starting soon but what no one knew what that inside of a certain red-haired present in the room, a chained fox opened one of his big red-slitted eyes and had only one thought on his mind before closing it again.

Interesting...

Flashback End

So, the next 3 months everyone upped their training as they knew that this would be the push needed to the beginning of the Daisanji Ninkai Taisen.

Tomorrow would be the day that many inexperienced Shinobis and Kunoichis would start to cherish the life itself and start to live to its fullest and without regrets.

It was going to be their first war and the first major battle nonetheless.

Many ninjas would be losing their lives. And for what reason? Just because their Kages ordered them to...? What would they get for this? Wealth? Fame?

Fools.

Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts as he felt the ground shake. He looked over his shoulders and observed Konoha's army of 350 battle-hardened Shinobis. He could feel the nervousness rolling in waves. The Senju felt a shaking hand interlace with his own and gazed to his side as dark-red eyes met charcoal. He let a concerned emotion show through his eyes before speaking.

"It will be alright, Miko-chan."

It didn't help her fears at all, no one could blame her. The beautiful black-haired teen spoke in a shaky voice "That's not helping, Naru-kun. Tell me something else..." Tears were threatening to leave her eyes if the moisture was any indication.

He replied "If we survive this, let's go on a date."

Even if the current situation was very tense she managed to crack a smile "Thank you, I would like that."

They noticed a random Chunnin appeared in front of the captain several meters from them, though they could still hear him speak.

"Taicho... they arrived."

At those two words everyone tensed. The pressure in the air was almost suffocating. Kagami sent a glance towards Naruto. The latter noticed this and nodded to him, he addressed Mikoto and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder before vanishing from his spot.

"I'll have your back if you need me. And Mikoto...

... Hmm?" A questioning look on her face as her Sharingan unknowingly activated with tears dropping from it.

"Burn them."

The last thing Naruto saw was the newborn determination on those red eyes of her that promised hell to whoever comes in her way, before vanishing. Though she didn't notice the black kanjis where his hand was before it disappeared inside her flak Chunnin vest.

The Battle for Nami no Kuni was about to begin.

(Several Minutes Later)

Even his father's notes couldn't prepare himself for this.

It was horrible.

War.

He could hear the shouts, screams, explosions, it was unbearable.

It baffled him the amount of death he could sense at distance, Naruto didn't care about if he killed one or hundreds ninjas but didn't enjoy either, everything he has done and will do is without regrets.

Was this the peace Hashirama-jiji fought so much for? No. His uncle had some fault in this. Sharing beings that possess an extraordinarily and almost unlimited amount of power is like asking if a power-hungry fool would like some free Sharingans.

Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people. But Hashirama didn't understand this. He didn't understand that there is a lot of evil in the world.

Now It was up to him to eradicate this evil.

He would give Sunagakure a taste of his power.

And this was Nami no Kuni (Land of Waves)...

...He was playing at Home.

Placing his index finger on the ground, he sent a pulse of Chakra immediately detecting and finding his target.

7, 8, 9... 20. There's twenty of them. Of course the Jinchūriki didn't come alone.

Hiding in the trees, he suppressed his chakra to the limit. Observing as 20 figures were walking towards the battlefield. They looked like they weren't in hurry. He also noticed the state of mind of their Jinchūriki.

He had an insane bloodthirsty grin.

If Naruto had to guess, he would say it was from the seal's doing. Sunagakure held no real Seal Master in their ranks, everyone knew that. It was another reason he would have to try and free the beast inside of him some other day.

The Senju was about to start his plan when his danger sensors went high alert and he immediately jumped out of the branch he was standing as a spear made out of sand impaled the tree where he was crouched.

W-What? But I was suppressing my chakra...

He landed gracefully on the ground but he was instantly surrounded by 19 Suna-nins as the Jinchūriki was behind them with his arms folded and a stoic face gazing at him.

Interesting. He must have sensed me using that sand of his. He can control it freely, it must be his Bijū power.

Naruto put on his impassive face, analysing the Shinobis surrounding him.

"Give up. You're surrounded with no way to escape."

He gazed over the fool who spoke to him with indifference.

"Now, do I?"

In that moment the air around them seems to cool down several degrees as in several areas the moisture started to compact into many frozen spikes. There was a shout of 'Guys, look!' and just like that everyone froze in shock as the same spikes made of ice started to descend towards the enemies at amazing speeds.

Hyōton: Tsumetai Ten

But before it could impale them sand exploded from the ground forming several walls above his opponents. The spikes pierced through the sand and almost reached the other side which made the Jinchūriki widen his eyes slightly.

Tsh. This sand is annoying.

Naruto clapped his hands, his chest bulged before spitting an huge amount of water to the ground. An enormous three-store sized wave formed beneath him.

Suiton: Baku Suishōha

The Jinchūriki slammed his hands on the ground and a good amount of sand emerged from it as it tried and failed to contain the massive wave although it bought enough time for some Suna-nins to escape as he noticed the sand turning into mud and slowing down.

"Suna no Bakusai Kabe!"

Naruto gritted his teeth as he only had crushed 3 enemies with that wave. He landed on the water after a few seconds in front of his 16 opponents plus the Jinchūriki. He had to take these nuisances down, but he also had to stop this stupid sand. A distraction...

He was snapped out of his thoughts as many of his opponents started to sped up through hand-seals before breathing an huge combined gust of wind.

"Fūton: Daitoppa"

Naruto smirked at this opportunity. He clapped his hands, using 1/4 of his chakra, as from the water beneath him a massive amount of water started to take shape of a huge dragon who with a loud roar took the gust head on and clashing with it before a big explosion of water washed over everyone.

Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu

The Suna-nins tensed as a figure materialized in the middle of them but before they could react a big claw made of sand was thrust into the black-haired man chest. Everyone cheered except for the impassive Jinchūriki who noticed the smirk growing on the lone Shinobi.

"THAT'A KAGE BUNSHIN, GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

Too late.

Using his own body as a medium for the paper, with a gracious movement with his hands several exploding tags formed from the large sheets each bearing intricate seals before attaching themselves onto his opponents bodies and an HUGE explosion rocketed through the area for 5 whole minutes.

Gojō Kibaku Fūda

BOOOOOOM

As the smoke caused from the explosion cleared, Naruto and his mission's target were in front of each other. In the middle of them a large crater with many different parts of various person's bodies. The Senju smiled.

What a nice view.

"Ichibi, we can finally have our dance."

Not waiting to a reply, he made a single hand-seal as clouds started to form above them and soon enough rain poured on them.

Hijutsu: Kirisame

The Sunagakure's Jinchūriki who if Naruto remembers correctly went by the name Sanyiū widened his eyes in shock as his own sand started to dissolve into the ground. He pushed more chakra into it but the results were the same and immediately narrowed his eyes at the boy in front of him.

"What did you do?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out. Now... Good night." As he said that a single hand-seal was formed and before his opponent could react everything around him turned black. W-What?

Kokuangyo no Jutsu

Naruto didn't waste time and using his amazing speed, he leaped towards his opponent, his hand already on the hilt placed on his waist as an humming sound before an explosion of electricity was heard. That was all Sanyiū heard before all he knew was pain.

Raijin no Ken: Hōden

Pain

Darkness

Blood

Weak

This was all the emotions and thoughts running through the Jinchūrikis mind as Naruto sensed the build up of malevolent chakra coming from inside his opponent. He immediately reacted as purple flames lit up on all of his fingertips as different Kanjis could be seen in it.

"Oh no, you don't... Gogyō Fūin!"

He thrusted his fingers on his opponents stomach and almost instantly the chakra that was rising, receded. Naruto watched as the boy's body dropped to the ground unconscious.

Pity...

He placed a hand over the brown-haired boy's as chakra became visible to the naked eye dancing on his hand and after a few seconds of concentration, Naruto clicked his teeth and murmured something before everything went black.

Hijutsu: Renraku Kokoro

Mindscape

Naruto opened his eyes and smiled at his successful technique. Renraku Kokoro was based on those Yamanaka's mind walker jutsus. He wasn't as good as those guys from that clan as he couldn't go too deep in someone's mind but It was good enough for what he wanted and prove of that was the mountains of Sand in front of him. A mad voice snapped out of his thoughts.

"YOU! WHAT AND HOW ARE HERE?"

He raised an eyebrow at the monster in front of him. He noticed the choker strapped around his neck. He addressed him, nonetheless.

"Ichibi."

The beast narrowed his eyes at the calm face of this boy. A side of him was curious why this boy seemed to be so calm but he couldn't dwell much as another jolt of electricity striked his body and roar in anger.

""I'M GOING TO KILL YOU NINGEN! COME CLOSER SO I CAN EAT YOU"

He didn't even flinch at the threat. Getting to the point, he spoke.

"I want to help you. Free you from being used as a weapon."

Anger built up inside of the Bijū as sand exploded behind him but didn't go too far as another zapping sound was heard followed by a painful scream. Naruto seeing this vanished in a sky blue flash, just pure speed, in mid air just in front of the choker, he placed his palm on hit and pushing some chakra through it. Grunting at the shocks he was getting, a white flash blinded everyone before everything went back to normal.

Fuinjutsu: Yurui shīru

The choker was still there but the shocks stopped which the Bijū noticed and was about to cheer in delight when he saw the boy's body falling to the ground and at this height he wouldn't be able to land properly as Naruto didn't have the same control nor chakra inside someone's mindscape.

But before he could react to amortize the fall, sand enveloped him and gently placed him on the ground. Naruto turned around locking eyes with the giant beast and saw gratitude running through his eyes.

"Thank you."

A smile graced Naruto's lips before replying "It's fine. I can't free you right now since I still need to create the proper seal for it, but I promise I'll be back..."

"Shukaku."

"Shukaku. See you, be ready when the time comes."

Naruto's body dissolved from the mindscape not noticing the small smile on Shukaku's lips.

So, this is the boy Kurama told us about in the meeting. Interesting.

Outside

After leaving the mindscape, Naruto reopened his eyes with a new goal in his mind. After lining up the unconscious Jinchūriki to some tree and placing his Shiki-Formula on the boys back which wouldn't disappear for some years, he sped up through hand-seals, nipping his thumb and slamming his hand on the ground.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu

A huge plume of smoke covered the area before a strong flap of wings dispersed it, revealing a large Hawk. The boss, Garūga.

"Greetings, brat. It seems the war has finally started and if the scent of blood in the winds are any indication..."

Naruto twitched his eyebrow at the earlier remark but ignored it "Yo Garūga-chan. Take me to the battlefield up ahead, please."

She didn't have to be asked twice though she beaked his head for the 'chan' suffix before leaping to the skyscraper with a violent flap of her large wings. Naruto seated on her head with his legs crossed and clapped his hands, taking a few deep breaths and just waited for what was about to come.

Nami no Kuni - Battlefield

Death.

Blood.

Limbs.

Destruction.

That was the conclusion Mikoto reached about 'War', after being fighting for a few hours without stopping.

She didn't know how many ninjas she had killed. The long black-haired teen just stopped caring anymore. Her tears had already dried. She had cried enough.

Specially when her father was almost killed. Though the injury he got would probably end his career as a Shinobi.

The beautiful Uchiha could feel that Konoha was going to emerge as the winner. But at what price? So many lives lost. So many futures stolen. So many dreams destroyed.

So much hatred created.

Even in this pandemonium she still had a thought running in her mind.

Naruto.

Mikoto was snapped out of her thoughts as the ground started to shake and suddenly stopped as a loud buzzing was heard. She gazed over in the direction of the sound and paled.

Kumogakure's Flag.

There was no way they could escape. Konoha had roughly 100 Shinobis still alive but everyone was tired even Minato. They were starting to push Suna's defensive lines... but now.

Everyone tensed as they heard a shout of 'KILL THEM' and the ground started to shake again as the roars of agreement made everyone take a step back. Mikoto was about to engage and burn the first fool she saw when a monstrous gust of wind sent every single Kumo-nin backwards. A second later everyone looked upwards as they saw what was probably the biggest Hawk they have ever seen.

Fūton: Kaze no Maki

"Thank you for stopping them, Garūga. Drop me there if you would."

Garūga took to the skies again before dropping Naruto where Mikoto was who had a shocked look as her friend had dark-red markings around and under his eyes as well in the middle of his forehead. They shared a simple nod sending an hidden message before narrowing their eyes at their enemy.

We will talk later, young man. / Hai hai.

They watched as the Kumo's and Suna's Commander relied orders to their army who started to running towards their location. The Senju and Uchiha duo smirked as they went through a chain of hand-seals, their chests puffed at the amount of air and chakra in it before the boy releases a stream of wind that immediately took shape of a twister and with other another hand-seal, he started to control the air currents with the palms of his hands, forming a large field of raging air currents and gusting winds and the girl to breath a massive stream of intense whitish flames towards their enemies.

Senpō, Fūton: Kiryū Ranbu / Katon: Gōka Messhitsu

Both Wind and Fire merged together resulting in a massive wide spread inferno.

Arekurū Jigoku no Jutsu

The heat was unbearable, many Suna-nins and Kumo-nins tried to create several walls for protection,

"Doton: Doryūheki" / "Suiton: Suijinheki"

But it was not enough.

Everyone was engulfed and those who didn't... were going to be frozen in shock for what would happen next.

Literally.

The battlefield dropped several degrees as everyone in that area shivered at the sudden change. Both Kumo and Suna's survivors went pale as they watch in shock the scorched ground around them freeze all over. No more than a second later the winds picked up, you could see snowflakes already but what was terrifying was all the ice formed out of thin air...

And the ice blocks...

... containing bodies upon bodies of their enemies.

Senpō, Hyōton: Zettaireido no Jutsu

Everyone was in shock at what just happened. It was almost instantly. One second was so hot that they couldn't breath because of that combined jutsu and after two seconds everything was frozen and there was snow falling from the sky.

Sighing in relied Mikoto was about to congratulate Naruto when she saw him drop to one knee, heavily breathing and all the markings he had were gone.

So that was basically a power boost. Still, It's incredible, he could match my best Katon technique with that Fūton of his.

"I'm going to rest." A voice in front of her snapped out of her thoughts. She instantly grabbed his unconscious body not letting it drop to the cold ground.

There was a loud cheering behind her and she could guess what it was but she didn't care. All she wanted right now was to go home and take a bath after fighting for so many hours and almost dying in the process if it wasnt for her father.

But that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

"YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!"

Everyone heard the loud scream followed by an huge plume of smoke. Traces of blue fire could be seen inside of it.

ROOOOOOOAR

A loud roaring that shook the earth and shatter every single block of ice in pieces including the bodies and blowed the smoke away.

Everyone gasped in shock and fear at the huge beast in front of them.

"N-Nibi..."
