Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN NOTHING!
-Kage Meeting Room-
The Raikage had finally been let out thanks to Naruto who had said the fight was over.
"So who won Uzukage-dono?" Mei asked while looking at Naruto.
Naruto was about to answer when he looked at the seat behind the Raikage and sighed.
"I would guess Ur won right Madara?" Naruto said while laying his head on his right hand.
When the other Kages heard this, they turned around and watch the mask man appear out of his vortex. They could feel his anger directed at Naruto with so much passion they thought they could see fire in his masks eyehole.
"It seems I have underestimated you Uzumaki… but your meddling has cost me a great deal of my plan." Tobi said while throwing Sasuke's body at the Kages' feet making A stand to grab it before Naruto interrupted.
"Don't bother Raikage-dono the Real Sasuke is dead this is nothing but a blood clone right Madara… a darn good one at that it could almost pass as the real one no my fellow Kages." Naruto said while Konan stepped to his right making Madara look at her.
"It seems I have a traitor in my circle." Madara said while standing up and glaring at Konan who didn't budge under his gaze.
Naruto just stared at him while grabbing Konan's hand in case he needed to protected her. Konan saw this and smile a little under her cloak even she didn't need protecting.
"I am not the traitor you are who came and twisted our view of peace with nothing but an illusion." Konan said while glaring back.
"Why are you here Madara?" The Tsuchikage asked while staring at the masked man with his guards at the ready.
Madara smile while extending his arms wide but before he could even let a word out the Raikage was upon him with lighting coated fist pulled back.
Just when he was within striking range, he saw himself go through Madara and hit the wall behind him.
Everyone stood up and readied themselves in case Madara retaliated against them for A's reckless behavior.
"As always impulsive and reckless Raikage." Madara sighed out as A made his way back to the others while glaring at Madara.
"Give me back Killer Bee or I'll make sure you don't leave here intact!" A yelled while letting lighting dance around him.
Before Madara could answer, A was frozen solid in black ice leaving only his nose out to let him breath. Everyone turned to Naruto to see him still sitting down with his left hand directed at the Raikage.
"Let him cool off for a bit… now we can actually listen to what he has to say with no more interruptions." Naruto told them while looking straight at Madara.
"I must thank you Uzukage-sama." Madara teased him while mocking him further with a waist bow.
"Now then were shall I begin…" with that, Madara began his explanation of his Mooneye plan.
-Uzushiogakure - Uzukage Office-
As the meeting went on back in the village, the current clan heads continued their talks with the old ones.
"So let me get this straight Mavis is the smartest person in the village even out doing the Nara clan?" Shikaku asked his son once more for confirmation.
"Indeed, I'm the current Jonin commander while Kakashi is once more the Anbu Captain." Shikamaru said while taking a smoke.
"What about the Daimyo what did you guys do about that?" Tsume asked them while petting Akamaru.
"We asked someone trustworthy to take over the position… even though Kushina could have easily done it she said she just wanted to spend time with her family instead." Kiba responded
"Erza, and Mirajane are powerful but do you know the full extent of their power?" Tsunade asked the new clan heads.
"Erza sort of… but Mirajane no." Ino told them.
"What do you mean by that Ino?" her father asked.
"Well from the only missions I've had with Erza I know that she can change armors instantly to fit any situation." Ino told them while remembering one of her few missions with the redhead.
"Mirajane on the other hand refuses to do missions anymore as you remember Tsunade-sama." Hana told her while standing next to her brother.
"Yes that I remember but she seem calmer now." Tsunade stated.
"That may be because of her son Yorokobi." Shikamaru said while he continued to smoke.
"Can we show them the village now then?" Choji asked while munching on some sandwiches.
"Sure you guys go on ahead I still have work to do here before the invasion starts." Shikamaru said while making the older generation look shocked at the revelation of an impending invasion.
"Wha…" Tsunade couldn't finish since Shikamaru shook his head and waved them off.
-Outside the Kage building-
"What did Shikamaru mean by invasion?" Choji's father asked.
"Akatsuki is planning an all-out attack on us to try and kill Naruto's family as revenge for messing up their plans so much." Shino told them.
"So what are you guys doing about it?" Tsunade asked.
"Nothing." Ino plainly said making the old clan heads look at them as if they were crazy.
"Excuse me?" Tsunade asked shocked.
"You're excused." Kiba cheekily said making Ino smack him upside the head.
"What we mean is that we have known for quite some time so we had all the information necessary to prepare for it." Choji said through a full mouth of chips.
"How did you get all of this information if I may ask?" Tsunade asked them with a raised brow.
"Kushina made contact with a fellow Uzumaki who just so happened to be Naruto's close cousin and Sasuke's ex-teammate." Kiba said while waving to Shino to continue.
"She gathered the Information for us while undercover within their organization and kept us inform on their numbers, strength, and weaknesses." Shino finished while pushing his glasses up.
"She also just came back after fleeing from them with her work done… but in grave conditions." Hinata shyly said.
Everyone was impressed with her improvements to be able to talk full sentences without stuttering now.
"Where is she now, I would love to meet her." Tsume asked intrigued at another Uzumaki being alive.
"Well why do you want to meet me for?" a voice said making them turn around to see a redhead girl on crouches.
As they looked closely, they saw that her left leg was in a cast while the other seemed to just be bandaged. Her arms were also bandaged while they looked to be just fine, while she had her forehead and the side of her head wrapped as well.
"Karin you're walking?" Hinata asked shocked since she was one of the few who had seen her before at the hospital.
"Hell yea I am the pill is a miracle." Karin said while smiling brightly at her.
"I-I'm glad." Hinata said while wiping away tears of joy from her eyes.
"Karin! You should be resting not walking around." Mira's voice rang out from the left letting them see the white-haired beauty walk up to Karin and lecture her on obeying doctors' orders.
"Can't help it Mira… I thought I was going to be on a wheelchair for the rest of my life but if it hadn't been for the regeneration pill I would have been." Karin told her while looking at herself in a nearby store window and smiling.
Tsunade grew intrigued when she heard of this regeneration pill and wanted to know more about it.
"What is this regeneration pill you speak Karin?" Tsunade asked while looking at both Mira and Karin.
"Oh hello again Tsunade…" Mira said while bow a little at her before continuing.
"… the regeneration pill is a project brought forward by the new head doctor as a way to help our troops survive fatal injuries in missions."
"What it does is as the name implies it regenerates wounds, but depending on the size and severity of the wound the amount of time it would take to heal varies." Karin said letting Mira breath while letting the information sink in.
"Ok, but how does it actually work?" Shikaku asked.
"It takes Tsunade's Ninja Art: Mitotic Regeneration and her Yin seal while adding Naruto's and Kyuubi's regeneration to an attainable level." Mira said.
"What do you mean attainable with Sakura around I thought you guys didn't need something like this?" Tsunade asked while everyone saw Mira's mood take a 180 from being the beauty in front of them to a downright demon.
"I would appreciate it if you never mention that name in front of me ever again Tsunade-sama." Mira spat out making tsunade look at her surprised.
Before they could ask her what was that about they saw her grab Karin's arm and turned around head back to the hospital they presumed.
"Why did she sound like she hated Sakura?" Tsunade asked the others.
"Sakura tried to kill Naruto's and Mira's son so as to get Naruto to snap out of some trance to help her find Sasuke again." Ino told her making Tsunade look shocked along with the others.
"We locked her up and well she died in there from refusing to eat." Kiba finished for Ino.
Tsunade looked towards the floor not wanting them to see her glaring at it but it was no use. Everyone saw her trembling fist and knew she blamed herself for what Sakura had become.
"Tsunade-sama!" this snapped her out of her trance when she felt something slam into her back.
She turned her head to see Shizune crying on her back while hugging her as tightly as she could.
"Sh-shizune… shizune!" Tsunade let while turning around and hugging her back.
"Shizune is now the head medic and is the one who came up with the Regeneration Pill project." Shino told her making Tsunade look at her first apprentice with pride.
"Tsunade-sama would you like to get something to eat?"
"I would love that… and then maybe you could show me around this new hospital and medic-nin academy?" Tsunade said while the two began walking away with only waving goodbye to the others.
"Eating something sound good right about now… so how about we all go home and resume this little meeting tomorrow?" Ino's father asked making everyone nod.
"Well ok… Shikaku-san I'll show you the way to Shikamaru's house so please follow me."
Everyone soon went his or her separate ways looking and stopping every now and then to look at a certain place.
-Kage Summit-
Everyone was silent shocked at what they just heard from the masked man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha.
'T-ten tails… as if having the nine tail wasn't bad enough now his telling us there is another one… impossible'
"N-naruto-sama is this i-I mean how is this possible?" Ur asked to shocked to form cohesive sentences.
"I assure you that this is no joke… so if you would be so kind as to hand over your remaining jinchuuriki I would be most pleased." Madara tease while extending his right hand mockingly at them.
A was the first to snap out of his shock before glaring at him and clenching his fist tighter than before.
Naruto saw this and knew what he was going to do so he decided to intervene before he said anything stupid.
"Your brother seems to be an elusive person Raikage escaping Sasuke's attack and hiding from the world for over a year…" Naruto said aloud making the Raikage face vault before looking at him.
"What do you mean Uzukage the Akatsuki have my brother in their clutches!" A shouted at the top of his lungs not that anyone cared seeing as they had a bigger fish in front of them.
"It seems that the Uzukage and I have found some neutral ground… Sasuke failed in his attempt to retrieve the eight tails and for the last year he has escaped being found by us now how can that be possible." Madara growled out.
That when they all saw the Raikage walk up to the table and fling it straight at the wall.
"That absolute idiot how dare he just up and vanish like that without so much as sending messenger hawk to let me know he was alive!" A rage one before an ice wall was lifted to keep his rant to himself.
"Much appreciated Ur." Konan said while Ur merely smiled.
"Now what's it going to be Kage's them or you?" Madara asked while they all saw the Raikage join again having finished his little tantrum.
They all stood quiet before looking at one another with the Tsuchikage sighing knowing full well the answer.
"He may be the son of my hated enemy but… I never held a grudge against the Fourth Hokage… in fact I respected and admired him for not only his strength in battle but also his kindness and willingness to live in peace with one another so I think I speak for all of us when I say this…"
The other Kage looked at the old man with respect and admiration for his conviction and willingness to do what they were all thinking now.
"WE WILL NEVER HAND OVER ONE OF OUR OWN!" all five Kage including Naruto himself shouted out while glaring at Madara.
"Then so be it… the next time we see each other will be in the battlefield… the battlefield of the fourth great shinobi war." With that, he took his leave, leaving behind five surprised Kages.
"He can't be serious can he?" Mei asked no one in particular.
"Konan do you know what he was taking about?" Naruto asked making all Kages look at her.
"Yes… you see Pein was able to find out that Madara was mass producing a Zetsu army to fight the five nations should he have to." Konan explained.
"How many are we talking about here?" A asked her rather impatiently.
"About a hundred thousand."
"How in the world was he able to create such a huge army?" Kankuro yelled out
"His been doing it for years from what we've seen and learned from him… though they are extremely weak but it's the numbers that are troublesome…" Konan said still thinking it over.
"He must have a way to make them stronger if he plans to win a war against all five nations." Mifune told them while coming down his position.
"Yes but can we really say we will fight together after all there is enough bad blood in all sides from the previous war." Garra noted.
"We are finally united as one against a common enemy not against one another this is something we all now have in common… we are no longer fighting each other for land or bragging rights we are fighting to insure our future and the future of our families back in our villages." Naruto said while everyone looked at him.
"There is no more Leaf, Cloud, Stone, Mist, or Sand hell there is no more Whirlpools… there is only shinobis we now stand united as one and together can we can win he may have five tail beasts and a clone army but he doesn't have our passion and will to fight for someone else because once we start this war it will no longer be about fighting for your village… it will be about the person to our left and right it will be about our children and their children's it will be about our future."
The other Kage nodded to each other agreeing with the Uzukage while his bodyguards stood a little straighter feeling pride in calling him Uzukage-sama.
"What a great speech Uzukage-dono… and I think that alone answers our question of who should lead his new shinobi alliance… or do any of you have any objections."
When no one made to object Mifune walked up to him and placed his hands on his shoulders.
"Lead us well young man we are counting on you for this, oh and we of the land of iron will also join this war alongside you all."
"I-I… I will do my best to lead us to victory so please lend me your support and advice for I will most certainly need it."
"You have mine Naruto." Garra said while nodding in his direction with a small smile.
"How can I refuse such a handsome young man like you?" Mei winked making Naruto nervously laugh.
"I would be glad to follow you after informing me of my idiot brothers little escapade." The Raikage grinned in his direction after finishing his speech.
"Tch… to think I would one day be taking orders from a brat." The Tsuchikage muttered out making his granddaughter shake her head in irritation.
"However if your anything like your old man I guess it won't be so bad."
"Sorry to disappoint Tsuchikage-sama but I plan on being better than my old man."
Both grinned at each other before Onoki floated up to him and shook his hand with a grandfatherly smile on his face.
"As so you should be, the child must always surpass the parents and outshine them for only then can they make it on their own in this harsh world."
"Then this meeting comes to an end so as to give you all the time to prepare your villages for the upcoming war." Mifune announced gaining their attention.
"I shall return home immediately to prepare some battle plans and send them to you all immediately to get your input on them." Naruto told them before they could answer him Ur made herself known.
"Naruto-sama will you tell them?"
"Tell us what Naruto." Garra asked
"Madara was planning on attack my village while I was at the summit and kill my family but if what Konan said was true then the battle should have been over a while ago no Konan?" Naruto asked her.
"Yes initially Sasuke was going to be the big hitter with his newly mastered Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan but Pein having killed him Madara only sent Zetsu clones with the hope of them overwhelming your men."
"But with Pein now there along with Tayuya and Kakashi…" Naruto smirked.
"… They never stood a chance." Ur finished for them with a happy smile.
-Outskirt of Uzushiogakure-
Zetsu corpses littered the floor of the vast valley with Nagato standing on one side of a flowing river scanning the area looking for more.
"Found anything Nagato?" Kakashi asked while laying down on a boulder with his orange book over his head like he was sleeping with his mask to the right of his head.
On the other side of the river, Tayuya was busy beating the shit of a few of the dead Zetsu.
"How dare you touch my ass you fucking white motherfucker!" Tayuya screamed while bashing another's head into the ground.
"Shouldn't we stop her… after all she already vaporized the one that touched her?" Nagato asked after a while of scanning and just looked at her go.
"Be my guest… so anything?" Kakashi said after dropping down.
"No we are finished here." Nagato told him while looking away from Tayuya.
"I can only imagine how far harder this would have been if Sasuke was still alive?" Kakashi said while placing his mask back on.
"Oi Tayuya lets head back now we're done here!" Nagato yelled at her making her stop and nod before walking away.
However, she stopped and turned around just to kick another Zetsu's head sending it soaring trough the valley. With that, she was satisfied and leap over the river to their side.
"Nice shot." Both men said while looking at the flying Zetsu go over the mountain.
"Hmph well lets go I'm hungry and dirty so I wish to get home and take a nice long bath." Tayuya told them while walking away.
"Are you sure this was the invasion force Nagato and not just a distraction?" Kakashi asked while they made their way back to the village were the second line of defense was in case they fail to stop the invading force.
"Unfortunately yes this was it… it was supposed to be a distraction so that Sasuke could sneak in and wipe out Naruto's family so they were never meant to last."
"Well the numbers were a little troublesome but nothing we could handle." Tayuya added while in front of them wanting to get back to the village first.
The travel back was quiet after that until they saw the village entrance so they decided to run it from there on instead of tree hopping.
Getting to the check in desk, they saw men in the entrance and on top of the wall at full alert.
"You can go on ahead and go home Tayuya me and Nagato will report in and have a drink to relax." Kakashi said before noticing Tayuya already gone.
"She was gone the instant her feet touch the inside of the village." Nagato said while watching Tayuya already about a block away.
Kakashi chuckle before waving at the gate guard and walking inside before stopping and looked over at Nagato.
"Well how about it Nagato want to get a drink after reporting in and getting to know each other now that we're comrades."
"Might as well given I don't know where anything is in the village at the moment."
Both walked towards the Uzukage tower at a calm pace making small talk while Kakashi told Nagato where anything of interest was.
While they were calm Naruto was flying toward his Village with a serious expression already thinking of different plans for the war but waiting to speak to Mavis about them.
"We are almost there Uzukage-sama." Shiva announced.
"Thank you Shiva." Naruto responded while sitting down to calm down.
The war is about to begin, the invasion was a complete disaster how will Madara fix so many failure? You will have to wait until next time my friends.
