My People

Hello, People. So lots of you like last chapter and I just wanted to thank you all. The reviews were so cute and great.

Hinata sniggered slightly as Sasuke looked behind him at Naruto's new blood clone. "Hey, you."

The blood clone ceased his movement in grabbing a white Zetsu clone by its neck, instead punching it down. "Yes, Sasuke-chan."

Sasuke glared slightly. He hated the way Naruto's clones treated him. It was if they each held some part of Naruto's mind.

"Where is the real Naruto?" He questioned.

The raven dodged a clone swiftly.

"Amaterasu!"

Several clones burned in black fire, never noticing Sasuke's power and potential.

The clone smiled. "He's in the land of Lightning. With Killer B, the first and fourth division, Temari, Darui, and the kage."

Hinata giggled and nodded, headbutting a zetsu. "We're done here. We're moving there."

Naruto jumped at five clones.

"Mini-Rasengan!"

They turned to trees quickly. Naruto marvelled at his glowing hands. 'Nice job, Kurama.' he told the fox.

While the fox boasted, his other beasts grumbled and whined.

'Don't worry, guys. You'll see action soon.'

"Yo, Naruto. That was cool. Show those fools."

The blond smiled at Killer B. "Thanks. Let's move out. It seems the fifth division needs our help."

As they moved out, a shinobi waved. "Thanks Namikaze-sama!"

Naruto nodded, but halted. "Do you feel that?" He asked B.

"Yeah. That chakra is crazy. I can fill it all the way over here. It's making me dazy."

The blond nearly laughed if the chakra weren't so familiar. He knew what chakra it was. So much that the blond bit his thumb, and trickled the blood onto the ground. That chakra was his to subdue.

The blood clone that appeared looked to him immediately. "Who do I save?"

Naruto nodded. "B and I are going to check out that chakra. While Mu is subdued for a moment without his other half, you go and make sure nothing else happens."

The clone tensed. "That chakra…" He trailed off as Sasuke, Hinata and their division jumped from the ground, signalling their battle had finished.

"Is it them?" the clone finished.

Naruto bit his lip, smiling brightly as Sasuke caught his eye. It made the raven blush and turn to his division. "Yes."

The clone sighed. "We don't need to go."

"Why?" The supreme leader questioned.

"Naruto!" The blond turned to Tsunade, who seemed anxious an distressed.

When he saw all three of them, he sighed. This would be a tough fight to win. Then, he tensed. Watching behind one of their legs. Watching as Gaara, alive and not reanimated, moved from behind and walked to Naruto with no fear.

"What are you doing here, Gaara? No child should be here. Why aren't you watching Nekoda and Itachi?"

Gaara sighed. "This is my fight too, aniki. Your blood clone let me come. He said even when you didn't say, you wanted me here too."

Naruto and Gaara glared at one another. Eventually, Naruto squeezed the boy's nose. "Don't die, you here? When this is over, you're going right back."

A laugh, slightly psychotic, cut the blond off. He turned to the reanimated Deidara, who stood so happy to see Naruto again. "He won't. I'll find Kabuto myself if he makes my kill any of my brothers."

They watched the Namikaze brothers for a while and Naruto laughed softly, wiping his face.

While Pein had died older, it was confusing to see Deidara and Nagato older. They looked like teens.

Nagato smiled. "Man. Who knew our odd little brother would be Supreme ruler of the Allied Shinobi Forces. It feels like only yesterday, you were tripping around the house."

Deidara laughed. "All that's over now. He looks angry. With us, little brother?"

Naruto smiled.

The Namikaze brothers were something else. Although they wrestled and argued, absolutely nothing could tear them apart. Sasuke had said once that Naruto could walk through hell and not get burned….because his brothers would be there to shield him with anything.

The raven even said that he and Itachi were not that close.

Before Naruto's power had unfolded, the Namikaze brothers had fought back to back, and side by side.

They could carry one another through the flames of hell, their flesh getting burned to the bone. Through places where demons dwelled. Naruto smiled. They were powerful. He wondered how it'd be if they all got together again.

The child enhancer of the rinnegan and six paths.

The wielder of intellect and classic ideas.

The art child, building things for explosions and shaping his body.

Then there was the youngest. A wielder of sand.

And then there was a near god.

A force they'd be. They were brothers; then, now, always.

Pein sighed. "You better fight us and you better win. Dad's going to kick our asses if he sees us fighting."

Another maniac laugh on Deidara's part. "And he doesn't care if it's by force either."

With that said, Deidara jumped aways from the crowd of shinobi. "Sorry, boys. I want my brothers all to myself."

Naruto shook his head, following closely as the others did. They did not go so far, however. While Deidara always hated society and its people, he never avoided a good show.

Naruto sighed as they ceased movement. "You were always the show-off, Deidara."

The older blond stuck his tongue out. "You were always the show-off, Deidara." He mocked in a high-pitched voice.

Nagato snorted. "Can't mock him with your own voice."

The twins began to push one another around and Gaara sighed. "When I was younger, were they always like this?" The question was asked in a whisper to only Naruto.

The prophecy child nodded. "Yes. Your brothers were and will always be like this." To the others. "Hey!"

Deidara stopped punching Nagato and looked to his younger brother.

Naruto smiled sadly. "In order to keep this world and it's people safe, I have to seal you all. I have to find Kabuto and stop this reanimation jutsu."

Pein nodded. "Be careful, Naruto. And you too Gaara. Know that whatever happens from here, we don't mean to hurt you."

With that, the former heir placed his hand upon the ground. Naruto cursed silently at the next words. It seemed that Kabuto really wanted him dead.

"Summoning Rinnegan!"

First the giant multi-headed dog, the giant ox, and the giant rhino. But it didn't stop there.

"Six Paths of Pain!"

Gaara tensed as the paths appeared with his older brothers.

"Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

It was something he'd never seen before. A door formed and opened in an intensifying slow pace, as if the longer it took, the more deadly it would be.

He and Gaara froze in place, watching in mingled horror and anticipation as the thing shambled toward the open doorway. It paused, still within the bank of shadows inside the outer world. Naruto slipped his fingers tightly around his staff.

Nagato nodded at Pein's summons. "I like the multi-headed dog. Amplification Summoning Technique!"

The technique was able to create multiple versions of Pein's dog summon each time Naruto advanced on it.

Naruto sighed. "Ready, Gaara?"

With an affirmative, Naruto bit his own thumb. 'You wanted the action.'

There was silence as all nine tailed beasts appeared behind Naruto and Gaara, dripping with an option of violence.

"Gaara"

The redhead nodded. "Sand Clones!"

The ten clones that formed were almost like blood clones. They could move and battle. However, Gaara's clones, unlike Naruto's, were able to reform when dispelled.

They were ready to take one another one and it seemed that everyone wanted to win.

Deidara was a lunatic. He always had ideas in his head that suddenly made more sense then the world's safety. Naruto knew it would be hard for the older boy not to jump into battle first. He smirked when he did. Bombs formed quickly and he threw them. "Explosive clay."

They did not move. Gaara lifted his hand. His shields of sand encased he and Naruto before the bombs hit.

Nagato sighed, always the intellectual. "You never thought. Isn't that right, Pein-nii-san?"

Pein pulled Deidara back and ruffled his hair harshly. "You're right. Deidara needs to think more."

Naruto smiled. Even in afterlife, they argued. Even when they knew Pein had killed them, they still fought at his side.

Nagato smirked. "Ready, little brothers? Wild Water Wave."

The technique was meant to be simple, but because it was Nagato, it seemed as if the whole ocean and its killing tides had been brought with them. Naruto didn't know how to counter it directly, so he and Gaara jumped into action while Son Gokū finished the waves with his monkey flame arson technique.

Deidara laughed as he and Gaara engaged in a taijutsu match. "That got them, Nagato!"

Naruto punched Pein swiftly as they engaged in light conversation. "I had no idea that our fight would temporarily blind you, Naruto. I'm sorry."

Nagato growled at Chomei, who kept charging.

"Shinrai Tensei."

Instead of the beast flying back, he whipped Nagato with his tail. "That's odd, I'm sure I did it right." then the realization must have hit him. "Oh yes, I forgot. I remember watching you create that seal. The one where tailed beasts are protected against dojutsu."

Naruto blushed slightly, thinking of his previous activities the night prior and morning. "I don't know if I should be embarrassed or confident that you guys keep watching me."

Nagato giggled and pushed the rhino and ox toward Kurama and Gyuki. "Oh don't worry. Mom wouldn't allow us to watch you and Sasuke's very very intimate moment. She was giggling in glea the whole time though."

Naruto sighed, flipping away from his eldest brother. He knew that if she were reanimated, he'd get an earful of a lecture.

Deidara seemed surprised, so much that when Gaara landed a hit on him, the long haired blond did not notice. "Naruto and Uchiha are finally a thing now. When did this happen?"

Nagato wiggled his eyebrows and Pein laughed lightly at the jinchuriki's blushed gaze. Naruto hoped that his subordinates could not hear this conversation. They could, he'd just deny it.

When no one said anything, Deidara let out a howl. "Naruto has a boyfriend. Man I remember wiping your bloody eye when Sasuke hit you."

Naruto blushed. "I do not."

Gaara joined the conversation. "He does. He's always had a crush on Sasuke. I was six when I found out."

"Gaara!" Naruto yelled in utter embarrassment.

Pein let out a guttural sound and Deidara humphed. "You can't laugh Pein. You have an Uchiha child and a man who's still in love with a dead man."

Pein smiled. "Leave Itachi and Nekoda out of this."

Deidara smirked. "When this is all over, Naruto, you should use that technique you learned from Grandpa Tobirama on us. So we can meet Nekoda once. She's so unlike Pein, I'll love her."

The sentence that Nagato murmured was nearly silent and it made Naruto freeze. "Also so Pein can have sex with Itachi."

Deidara's nose scrunched up. "Pein is dead. He should not have these urges."

They ignored Pein's statement "I have no urges."

Nagato hummed. "Pein gets 'excited' watching Itachi even in death. He'll need a dose of love."

Deidara smiled. "Still I'm sure Itachi will be married. Having sex while dead and with a taken man. For shame Pein, for shame."

Nagato looked to Naruto, who stood frozen, both hands covering his face. "Naruto, why are you crying? Are Pein's urges that embarrassing?"

The young blond looked up. His face had been red and wet, but he wasn't crying. He was laughing and it hurt so much. These were the random conversations he used to have with his brothers. No matter where it took them, they wouldn't stop.

Nagato smiled at him. "Oh, you're laughing. I guess a persistent Pein is a funny one."

Deidara laughed. "By Chi, if Itachi gets pregnant again, what will they think?"

They all laughed and the reanimated boys knew they were possibly testing Kabuto's patience. Laughing with their brother and not killing him.

Deidara summoned his bird. "We should get serious. While I love you guys too much, I'd like to get back to peace.

Naruto nodded. He knew it was wrong to keep them here. They knew too. They knew Naruto held every power to take them down in seconds with a single jutsu. But they gave him time. Time to see them, time to forgive them, and reconnect.

"Do you guys remember mom's old friend from the Uchiha clan? The one that didn't live in the Uchiha manor, but next to ours? The crazy one?"

Pein nodded. "The one who we kept thinking was her great great grandfather. My, he was old. He died when we were younger too, right?"

Deidara nodded. "I remember."

His name was Moto and their mother always said he'd been a friend way before she met Minato and ever thought of having four boys. Deidara loved the old guy, because he hated society and was nearly like him.

Nagato sighed in content. "Do you guys remember what he always said when he let us play in his yard?"

"I haven't had this much company since that owl died last spring. Man he cooked good."

Naruto laughed. "Fucking lunatic." He recalled. "Just like you, Deidara."

Pein nodded. "And he'd always give us that damn candy. What was it again it tasted like?"

"Soap." the prophecy child answered. "And mother let him teach us how to flip backward. That's not why we liked him so much, though."

Nagato nodded. "Yeah. He had a tame crow that would perch on his shoulders and squawk on command. Or maybe it wasn't a crow, none of us really know anymore. We just stood there with mouths of sweet lavender admiring the inky feathers."

"Do you remember Naruto swallowed it?"

This set the boys in giggles. "Naruto was crying and all Moto had to do was tap his stomach. And the crow came crawling out."

Pein smiled. "He didn't eat for a week. Kept getting his ass kicked by mom because of it."

They all laughed. His best memories were with his brothers. "You all should go now."

Deidara nodded and he and Pein let their summons disperse. "Show us that power, Naruto."

The blond nodded and let his tailed beasts return in him. "Soon, I will use one to stop Kabuto. Right now, I know how to just take you all down."

He lifted his staff. "Wait!" Deidara called.

The blond stopped. He watched in amusement as Deidara ran to him in a swift motion, engulfing him in a hug. Just two arms at first. Then four, then six. And then Gaara, the shortest of them all joined. He knew they were all hugging him. He wouldn't cry now. Because today, he felt a little stronger than before.

"I missed you guys too."

When they moved back, Deidara smiled. "Hurry before that snake creep knows."

Once again, his staff defied the gravity is was raised upon.

"Godlike Divinity: Chaos Genesis!"

It was a complete absorption of power and one of life. Deidara smiled and lifted his fist in the air. "One last victory." he mumbled.

Their bodies were going to disperses once they were gone. Naruto nodded and waved. "Rest my family."

Pein looked to him. "I'm still honoring tou-san's wish. This will not stop me. I will reanimate myself and kill Kabuto Yakushi alone."

And then they were gone. Gaara sighed. "That was easier than I thought."

Naruto squeezed the boy's nose and created a teleportation hole for him. "That was just play, otouto. You're lucky they were our brothers."

Gaara nodded. "Bye, brother. Love you. Be careful with the rest of the war."

Naruto nodded. He coughed slightly when Gaara was gone, wiping the blood away on his black pants and ignoring how his lungs were blackening with each second.

Someone touched his shoulder and he turned, finding Sasuke standing there. "Something's going on with Mu."

Naruto stared at the Uchiha for a few good moments. "Did they hear any of that conversation?"

"We heard all of it."

The blond blushed deeply. "I'm sorry. Even in death, my brothers find a way to embarrass me."

"It's fine, dobe. They're not worried about that. They're just happy you're alive."

Naruto nodded and looked to Mu, who still stood upon the mountain before them. "What's going on with him? I already destroyed his other half."

He and Sasuke walked to the front of the allied shinobi forces where the five kage, division commanders, Shikamaru, Kakashi, and Gai stood.

Tsunade sighed. "Madara Uchiha is being reanimated."

Onoki nodded. "But, what's going on with Mu?"

Before Naruto could answer, Shikaku spoke in his ear. "Naruto. I have word from others that the reanimated shinobi and Zetsu clones are disappearing. Or more like being destroyed."

Naruto smirked. "It's my brother's doing. He must have killed Kabuto easily and quickly."

Naruto marvelled at his brother's ability. He wondered if Kabuto even saw it coming.

"However, it doesn't seem to be working on Madara Uchiha." The man stared directly at Naruto and the blond knew what it meant. Naruto was a threat to whatever plan he had.

When Naruto looked even closer, he watched as two swirls formed on both sides of of the Uchiha.

Hinata called it. "Two other beings are manifesting themselves on side of Madara."

"If this is Madara, who's the man in the mask?" Sakura questioned.

Naruto did not answer as the two forms finally manifested themselves in all their glory.

He faltered in a shock, ready to leave if he had too. Up until now, this war had been easy. If the blond did not move these people, they'd surely die. He would surely die.

Sasuke moved next to him. "You're fine while I'm here, Naruto. I promise."

His breathing was heavy and most of them did not understand it so much. But, with Sasuke's help, the blond was able to calm himself.

Still, he felt uneasy and he knew because this being was controlling him well. It was a monster. His own.

Naruto's monster rose from the depth of the brightness, muttering unheard words. Covered in scars from the past, carrying the scythe. A tangled mess of arms and faces with one mission, as the blond looked into those soulless eyes, he realized that his monster was only the darker side of himself.

It smiled at Naruto.

Naruto nodded. "Sasuke….Sakura...Hinata...Shikamaru."

"Hai?" They answered in unison.

Naruto sighed. "For a while, we were middle children of history. With no purpose or place. We had no great war like our parents. We had no great depression like our senseis. Our great war was a spiritual war and our great depression was our lives."

Sakura sighed, feeling uneasy and ready to heal anyone who got hurt. "What's the point in saying all that, Naruto?"

Naruto first stared into the emotionless eyes of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. How she was a puppet, ready to be used like she'd always been. Then he looked into a mirror. At Haruto Namikaze, the man who started it all. The creator of Naruto's death and doom. How he looked just like him.

Naruto sighed. "All that's changed now."

They watched in horrified awe as Haruto roared and the earth rumbled. Hinata's nose scrunched at his image. "Is that him?"

Shikamaru smirked at the talons and the oozing blood, the fire of light. "What's left."

Miles and miles away, the earth rumbling had woken Chi from her peaceful sleep. She gasped at the energy she felt.

The woman slipped inside her dark blue cloak and grabbed her staff. It had been long awaited and she would not let her leave again.

She felt Naruto's energy as well and a darkness that settled over the world once. Back again.

Another shake of earth and the God smacked every pebble of dirt that left her ceiling. She inhaled softly, breathing in the only chakra she wanted for so long.

It was her daugher. "Kaguya." She stated, moving from the underground home and beginning her journey to the fourth shinobi world war battlefield.

"I'm coming, Ka." She mumbled. "Mommy's coming."

OMG. I did not originally depict that Pein would be the one to stop reanimation. And Kaguya and Haruto were not supposed to come until next chapter.

Nor did I depict that conversation the Namikaze brothers had with one another. Haha.

There were loads of things in this chapter that probably shouldn't have been. And yet, I still hope you all liked it. Please friends, do not hesitate to review.

I had to use that fight club quote. I think it worked well. Since Kakashi and his classmates grew up losing people during a war. How Kakashi was hurt in losing loads of people. And then Minato and the others were in a larger war.
