A/N: I know this is short and took a long time but some major things have happened for me. My daughter was born and me and my wife bought a house and moved so I am just now getting things settled. Updates should start coming more normally again.

Review responses:

AndiDuel: It won't be to dark but it will show some of the not so glamorous sides of being a ninja. I don't like the ones that go overboard either.

VIktornovaMK2: are you reading my mind somehow? What number am I thinking of?

A7XSOADfan0621: It take a lot of inspiration from Legacy by Cr4zypt. I also read another with an altered seal but not to this point.

To the rest: thank you for the support.

Warning this will be an MA fic. It will have foul language, blood, gore, attempted rape, probably cold blooded sadistic murder, and most likely lemons and limes.

Chapter 13:End of and Era

Naruto's New Island-Two Months Later

Naruto was taking a break from his training for lunch when he felt a massive charka surge from an island he could just see on the horizon. He figured it must be a battle between the rebels and the Mizukage's forces. He didn't want to get involved in the war only see its progress as were the parameters of his mission but he still wished there was a way to stop the senseless killing. He was going to let it be until Kurama told him that Isobu the Sanbi was there. If a jinchuuriki was going to use one of the Biju as nothing more than a means of was then he was going to step in orders be damned.

He quickly through a Hiraishin kunai as far as he could at a 45-degree angle and flashed to it. Then threw it straight at the island several more times. Until he landed on the sandy shore only a few hundred yards from the battle.

He moved closer to try to see exactly what was going on, making sure to mask his presence even going as far as activating his camo seal to render him invisible. When he got there, he saw what could only be as a massacre. Thousands of injured and dead shinobi were laying everywhere. Destroyed buildings of a village he never knew existed were smoking a few miles off. He could tell that although who ever lived in the village had been able to push the Mizukage and his forces back they were losing badly. He watched for a short period of time, only a few minutes, before it came down to in three people surrounded pushed up back-to-back waiting for an incoming attack. The Mizukage in his three-tails form was standing there as well. From what Naruto could make out, they were demanding a surrender but the three didn't look like they were going to take it.

He scanned the battle field and noticed that the dead ninja were very disproportionately kunoichi. Almost 8 to 1. Confused he decided to get a closer look. As he got in close he noticed that the dead were not wearing mist forehead protectors. The instead had a flower on them. He didn't know of any village minor or major that used such a symbol. His blood boiled. Yagura had gone so mad he attacked another village thinking that they were helping the rebels. Looking again at the three that were surrounded he noticed one had the flower symbol and two had the mist.

After a short pause when it looked like they were going to be killed Naruto decided to intervene. He would not let this go on. Kurama had said Isobu was the laziest of them all and would never allow his vessel to use him in such a way. Deactivating his seals to allow him to move at full speed towards the group,

"What are we going to do now?" Asked the one with the flower symbol on her forehead protector.

"I don't know, pray for a miracle." Said the woman with a mist forehead protector. The last was too scared to speak and just stood there shaking.

Yagura in his Biju form raised his front foot and prepared to crush the three who were too exhausted to move out of the way. As he hand-like front foot on the Sanbi sped towards the group they closed their eyes and waited for death to com. Instead of death they felt a pain in their guts as they were swept up and carried 50 feet to the side. Opening their eyes the realized that they were being held by two men in identical black wolf masks the one carrying two of them had one slung over his shoulder and another under his arm.

"Stop this Yagura. Your madness has gone far enough. Attacking a village that had nothing to do with your petty civil war is a step too far. I will not allow you to continue." Spoke the man in a deep voice that had no fear in it.

The three were stunned. Along with everyone else there. All of the sudden two men in cloaks and a black wolf masks appeared, rescued them, and were staring down the Mizukage in his Biju form telling him to stop. The three that were surrounded were completely blown away. This might be the miracle they prayed for. The few sensors that were there were really confused. They never sensed their approach and still couldn't sense them now.

"Who do you think you are trying to command the Yondaime Mizukage? I am the ruler of this land and I have sentenced all the bloodline cum to die. This village was going to give them aid and as such are enemies of Kirigakure. If you interfere I will have you killed as well whoever you are." Raged Yagura speaking in his beastly tone.

"For now, just call me Wolf and I will not let you continue your slaughter of innocent people. This attack constitutes an act of war on a foreign land and I won't stand for it. My mission was only to observe but that was before you slaughtered the ninja of a neutral village. For that you will face punishment."

"That's it I am going to kill you along with them." The Mizukage loudly declared while trying to smash the whole group again in a thunderous strike that shook the ground. When the dust settles and he saw his quarry standing in the original place before dodging the first time he became enraged and tried to smash them three more time. When it was clear that the two men were too fast to hit, he pulled the hand like foot back.

The three survivors wolf and his clone were carrying were beginning to fear they would suffer from whiplash. They were thankful to them but figured he was just delaying the inevitable.

"Final warning. Leave and allow the injured to be treated or face my wrath." Wolf spoke calmly. Everyone gathered couldn't believe the man was threating an entire army by himself and many started to laugh. The Mizukage included. "So be it." Only his passengers heard him before they felt like the were being sucked into a void.

Kumai Dimension

When the world stopped spinning the found themselves in a very different place. It was completely flat and had what look liked metal tiles for a floor. There was no sun but the could still see just fine. When that look around the found tens if not hundreds of the wolf masked men appearing with hurt ninja and kunoichi that they began healing.

It was then they realized that it was not two people but just one person that had rescued them. It also meant that he was from Konoha as he had to be using their shadow clone jutsu. But to see it used in this way and on this scale, spoke volumes to the amount of charka this man had.

Seeing no way out they choose to help were they could, having no idea of how to leave and also sensing the this was for their own protection rather than for imprisonment.

Konoha- Hokage's Office

Hiruzen was waging the ever-ongoing battle with his paperwork when Wolf appeared in a swirl in his office. The hidden ANBU almost attacked until the recognized who it was. They were also in shock as to just how he appeared in the office when he was supposed to be out of the village for months. Hiruzen gave him a critical look before;

"Wolf what is the meaning of this?" He asked very seriously.

"I am a shadow clone. I was sent to ask permission for some drastic measures." Replied the clone.

"And what measures would this be?"

"The Mizukage is in his fully transformed stage and has attacked a neutral village outside of water country. I don't recognize it but the use a flower as the villages symbol. He has killed at least 1000 civilians and several hundred ninja." Hiruzen could only gasp at this. Attacking a village such as this could spell the beginning of another war. "He has an army of close to 1500 with him and if not stopped he will kill everyone there. I have other clones treating the wounded and more still evacuating the remaining civilians away for them but if not stopped they will be perused and killed. I am asking for authorization to do what is necessary to prevent more loses of civilians. When I arrived only three ninja were even left standing to defend them. Two of whom I assume are part of the resistance as they wear mist headbands."

"What do you believe is necessary to prevent the losses?" Hiruzen, now fully aware of the situations had a good idea of what was coming knowing Naruto he was going to do something big to make an impression.

"I want to end the civil war in Kiri."

"How?"

"I am going to kill the Mizukage and his entire army if need be." This was spoken with a solemn tone showing he clearly understood the weight of his actions. Hiruzen sat for several minutes contemplating the situation. "Is he truly mad and beyond saving?"

"No. He is being controlled through the three tails. Someone with the power to control a Biju has him in some sort of genjutsu and I don't see of a way to break it before something else terrible happens." This statement shocked Hiruzen to his core. It was just like the night Naruto was born. He could see now why he wanted this path.

"Very well. But you must spare any of his army who surrender after he is dead. Understood?"

"Hai" and with that the shadow clone burst.

One of his ANBU spoke up. "Hokage-sama, it may not be my place but did we just declare war on Kiri?"

"Yes and no. You don't know wolf like I do. He wasn't really asking for permission He would have done this anyway. If he succeeds we may actually get a new ally in Kiri but if he fails he is not wearing his official mask and we can disavow his actions. He never does anything without thinking. That includes the safety of this village and innocent people wherever he goes. Kami help him." After that his office was silent waiting to hear the results.

Real World

Wolf had swirled away with the last three standing defenders only to reappear behind Yagura between his army the village. After creating enough shadow clones to assist the one who were still breathing they started to warp the survivors away just as the army turned to him.

Mummers ran through the ranks. No one had seen him move and then all of the sudden there were hundreds of him only for them to swirl away with the injured the way he had the original three. A few of the higher up recognized the shadow clone technique including Yagura.

"What right does Konoha have sticking it's nose in Water Country's affairs. Your Daimyo shall hear about this incursion. You may have started a war with your actions today." Yagura threatened.

Wolf was totally unaffected by this. "There are a couple problems with your observations there. First, we are not in Water Country right now. Second, you attacked an independent village that had shown you no aggression. I wonder if your Daimyo will support that decision." He could see a small amount of worry on the faces of who he assumed were the shinobi commanders. His head dropped a little after his shadow clone from Konoha popped. "Lastly you won't be leaving here alive."

With that Wolf's hands blurred to the Horse symbol and with a call of "Katon- Great Fire Annihilation" a great wave of fire was propelled at the army. Dozens were forced to use walls of water lest they be reduced to ash. Even Yagura is his three tails state was forced to use his Coral wall to escape injury such was the destruction wrought by the jutsu. When the steam cleared, At least 100 of the Mist army were nothing but ashes and dozens more injured.

Kumai World

A clone approached the three who were trying to help one of the less injured. "I need to speak with you three." His tone left no room for argument. He turned first to woman with a flower sign on her forehead protector She had black hair and green eyes wearing w rather revealing. "Who are you and what village is this that Yagura and his army attacked?"

"My name is Shizuka and This is Nadeshiko Village." She went to say more but he had turned to the redheaded.

"What is your name and why are you and the frightened one here? Yagura seemed to be after you."
Not liking his tone but not seeing and choice but to answer, "my name is Mei Terumi and this is Chojuro. I am the leader of the resistance. I came to ask for help or possibly just supplies but followed by Yagura. He attacked before I even made it to the village gate."

Shizuka hearing this was furious. "You mean you led that monster here. It has killed hundreds of my people and most of our ninja force."

"I am sorry I had no idea this would happen I don't know how he found us. I only told a few people where I was headed. We must have a spy in our midst back at our base." Still angry but understanding it was not intentional she turned her attention back to Wolf.

"And who are you. I appreciate all the help but where are we and what about my village.

"You may call me Wolf. We are in a safe place and that is all I will say on that. I currently have clones leading your people away from the fighting."

"Fighting?" Mei asked.

"Yes. As sad as this day has been for you," he looked over to Shizuka then back to Mei, "after seeing Yagura's actions I have decided to end Kiri's civil war and kill Yagura and his army. Congratulations on winning your war."

"What do you mean end Kiri's civil war. We have over 3000 shinobi and Yagura brought a third of his. How are you going to end this by yourself?"

"I have my ways. It will be over shortly." And with Wolf puffed away revealing himself to be just another shadow clone.

Real World

The Mist army couldn't believe the power of the attack. They had been expecting Yagura to simply handle him but even their leader was forced to defend himself. The leaf ninja stood there as if he had done nothing. Showing no sign that he was even short of breath. Many were considering retreating when he charged.

Wolf jumped on top of the three tails Yagura and landed a punch as hard as he could. The force cause the ground under him to buckle temporally trapping the three tails while he went after the army. He started with the commanders hoping to create panic in the ranks so they would flee. Pulling out his sword he removed the heads of the of them before the rest could gather their wits and attempt to defend themselves.

The first that actually managed to block his sword soon found himself flying backward due to the force of the blow. Wolf dodged a strike aimed at his throat and retaliated stabbing the offender in the chest with his blade and gave it a sharp twist before pulling it out. This continued until Yagura managed to pull himself out of the ground.

Enraged he began charging a bijuudama. He aimed it at Wolf who was still engaging the main force he had brought with him. Not caring about his own men, he fired.

Wolf had felt the buildup of chakra and knew very well what was coming. When it launched he saw the army retreat as fast as they could, hoping to get out of the way. The 1200 that were left that is. He didn't even move. He just activated his Kumai and watch the explosion in awe of the destruction it had wrought. He had heard of this attack from Kurama but had never seen it. He now realized the true scope of it and how he had attacked the village from so far away.

When the dust finally cleared Yagura had killed over half of his remaining army. Wolf however was standing in the middle of the crater that was made looking completely unharmed. This came as a shock not only to Yagura but also his remaining army.

"I told you. Madness." Wolf said looking at the remaining ninja while motioning to Yagura. "Your kage was willing to kill hundreds of you in the effort to stop me. Why would you follow such a man? Do you not see that what he has done here is the same he has done to Kiri? Turned on his own men. Killed the bloodline ninja out of fear without regard for who else died. Just like he has here. Stand aside and allow me to end this so you may once again live in peace and make Kiri whole once more."

The mist shinobi seemed to pause and take in his words while yagura just stood there bewildered by what had happened. This man had survived his most powerful attack and didn't even look phased. He also appeared to have turned his own men against him as they slowly lowered their weapons and moved back.

Wolf saw that the shinobi were retreating and turned his attention to Yagura. Now he could concentrate on figuring out what was going on with him. His Kamui would protect him and his strength could slow him down but truly injuring him enough to forced him out of his Biju state would be tough. He came up with only one idea and he had never used it before in battle.

Kurama having heard what he was thinking asked, "do you really think you can pull it off?" 'Not like I have a lot of other options at this point. Let's just hope it works.' Creating over a hundred shadow clones to distract Yagura. Wolf sat down in the lotus position and began concentrating. Before long a powerful storm began to move in. Lightning flashed and the sky grew dark. Wolf release a ball of what appeared to be electricity continuously curling in on itself into the sky. It quickly made its way to the cloud bank. When it reached the clouds, a bright flash shot through the entire cloud bank lighting the ground below momentarily.

It was at this time the last of the shadow clones popped. Wolf noted that just as he suspected they could slow him down but made no real lasting impact. He stood and started going through the 45 hand signs that were required for his technique to work. Finishing them in just over three seconds, which left him with no time to spare to looked into Yagura's and said, "I am sorry Isobu. It's the only way. Forgive me. Raiton: Kirin."

A huge dragon that appeared to be made of nothing but lightning appeared. All the shinobi gathered were in awe of a man that could command lighting to such a level. No sooner that in appeared it flashed to the ground as fast at lighting and struck the Mizukage in his three tails state. The power of the explosion blew most of the remaining army off their feet and temporary blinded them. Wolf simply activated his Kumai and lowered his head in a moment of silence and prayer. He knew the man would be vilified even though he was being controlled. Telling anyone the truth would not be helpful. The anti-bloodliners say only a bloodline shinobi could do such a thing and while they would be right they would ignore the twisted logic it would take to think a bloodline shinobi would want to destroy all other bloodline shinobi.

When the dust and smoke cleared there was only the very damaged remains of the Mizukage. He was dead and the three tails free to reform at a later date. Wolf took no pleasure in this. He decided now would be a good time to bring out the uninjured people.

Kumai Dimension

Mei, Shizuka, and Chojuro were sitting with some of the now healed survivors discussing what was happening when a clone of their rescuer approached them.

"It is done. You have won." Before they could ask questions, they felt the same strange swirling sensation before the found themselves deposited on the ground in what looked like a waste land. The couldn't believe their eyes. Of the 1500 ninja Yagura had with him less than half remained and at the bottom of a huge crater was Yagura's charred and damaged body. Mei looked at Wolf with a mix of fear and gratitude. Before she could speak he addressed her and Shizuka.

"You don't have to say anything. Just take care of your people and make your nations whole again. I would prefer that you keep my name out of this if you can." With that said he turned to leave. Stopping briefly to look back at everybody as the rest appeared in swirls being deposited on the ground. "I'm sorry for your losses. I should have come earlier. Goodbye. With that he appeared to simply fade from view.

Mei spoke first. "Who was that?"

"I don't know but I do know that I don't want to be on his bad side." Shizuka spoke aloud. Her thoughts however were on a different path. 'Is he the one. He is strong enough to defeat me and he is truly a good man. Perhaps when the village is stable I will seek him out.'

Hokage's Office-Konoha

A swirl was once again seen in the office. When wolf appeared this time, he appeared as if he was carrying a heavy weight. Hiruzen knew that feeling. Doing something you should never have to do for greater peace and prosperity. "Report" the old man spoke softly but sternly.

"Yagura is dead and the three tails will be reforming in the area in around three years. Of approximately 1500 shinobi only 600 still stand. Most killed by Yagura himself in order to stop me. The leader of the rebels was among those saved. Her name is Mei Terumi. She will most likely become the Mizukage."

After a brief silence Hiruzen spoke. "Is that all?" "Hai"

"Very well. I received word from Jiraiya. Naruto's Inspection is finished." He threw him a scroll. "This is Jiraiya's location. Meet him there in three days. Dismissed." As Wolf stood to leave the old kage spoke again. "I know it's hard but just remember all the people who will still have their loved ones because of your actions. And that war is hell."

"War isn't hell." Wolf responded with a solemn voice making Hiruzen's eyes widen a little. "War is far worse than hell. There are no innocent bystanders in hell. War is full off innocent bystanders. Hell, apart from the top commanders almost the entire human price of war is made of innocent bystanders." With these words, he left. It was time to return for real.

A/N: So, this chapter is short and took a long time to write. A lot has happened in my life and my time is far more limited. I am getting things settled and should be writing more soon.

Until next time. R&R, Like & Favorite.
