(Kisame is on the loose but the question is where is he headed and who was the eavesdropper)
Chapter 12-"Someday"
Day 1
"Alright so the first thing we need to do is have a plan for Madara so-"
"POOF, hey I got a return message for Bee" the tanuki from before said as he appeared in the middle of Naruto's speech.
"What's the message?"
"Brace yourself, the Raikage is planning to declare war on the hidden leaf village at the summit in one week. He wants revenge for what happened to Yugito and the kidnapping of Yugito and his brother Bee."
All the leaf nin cursed while Bee rapped about stupid brothers and dumb wars while the rest asked what could they do about it. Naruto looked up and said the only thing they could do was train hard and defeat Madara before they would tackle the latest problem. Naruto then got back to his speech about a plan before the tanuki had appeared and asked them for any ideas on when they should battle Madara and deal with the Kage summit. They all stood around thinking when Yugito spoke up and said they should wait until the end of the week.
"If we wait until the Kage are almost here than they will see us battling Madara and that should prove that we aren't there to harm anybody and in fact on their side."
Naruto at the rest said it was a good plan but Neji spoke up and said that there could be a chance it would backfire.
"If they see us fight and win then they would want to use us for our power and then we will be back at square one where Konoha tried to figure out what to do with us. Unless you want another repeat of that?" Neji said raising a brow as the leaf and sand nin shook their heads, remembering all too clearly what they had to do to escape the hidden leaf village.
"Um, Neji niisan, although that a good point how would they be able to control us if Madara couldn't even contain us with his sharingan and there isn't any Uzumaki nearby to help seal us, if they can."
"Another good point Hina-tenshi but knowing the Kage they would find some kind of way to make us yield...they might attack the nations just to have us behave" Naruto stated as he looked around and nearly laughed as he noticed that his clan held almost a person from every major nation except water but they just had to go find Kisame and then they would be complete.
"It would be kind of pointless to create a war of the nations on trying to control us" Matsuri said as Konohamaru nodded and said that they weren't that stupid when they all heard a snort.
"They make not be stupid but they are stubborn as hell, my brother will go to war, at the sound of a bell" Bee rapped as Pain, Konan, and Yahiko grumbled about war being the Kage's favorite pastime. The others had to admit it was true since it seemed like both earth and lightning country loved to declare war on the nations, particularly fire.
"Okay we will make our final decision near the end of the week and see how things play out" Naruto said before he summoned his large scroll of jutsus from long ago. Itachi, Bee, and Yugito looked at the scroll with interest because they didn't remember the kanji for jutsus on it and asked where Naruto had gotten it.
"Oh it was a gift from Kurama before he was reborn."
"Who is Kurama?" many of the clan asked while Bee learned who Kurama was from the Hacibi as Naruto explained it to the rest of the clan.
"Kurama was Kyuubi's original name but since I have a horrible memory I just called him Kyuubi or baka fox" Naruto said with a soft smile on his face before he shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Alright enough about the past, let's get started on some training" Naruto said grinning as he looked down at the scroll to see what they would train in first. Naruto decided to start with weapons and looked at everybody before asking what weapon suited them as he realized most of them already had a weapon or wasn't sure. Matsuri walked up to Naruto and handed back the whip he gave her earlier in the journey.
"Although it is beautiful, a whip is not my type of weapon. I'm happy with the jōhyō Gaara-kun, I mean sensei gave me and I think you should give it to someone else who is able to use it better than me" Matsuri said blushing as Konohamaru said that she said it right the first time earning him to be chased by Konohamaru. The kunoichi just smiled as they knew what Matsuri was implying while the poor boys, at least some of them, was clueless as to the slip-up.
"Ok then...hey Yugito have you used a whip before" Naruto said making Bee's lip twitch as Yugito blushed and said she had while mentally thinking for Bee not to say a word.
'I swear if he says one word about me dressing up as cat woman that 1 time I will personally go all hell-cat on his ass' Yugito though bitterly while Naruto handed her the whip with a black cat on the handle. Naruto, Hinata, and Neji then went into explanation about the weapons within the scroll and how resealing the weapons they already had within the scroll would repair them and give them a new look which made them ask how.
"Truthfully, I don't know and found out by accident when we sealed one of Tenten's broken staff into the scroll and the next day it was repaired and held a new design. In fact it's the exact same one Neji has claimed" Naruto said with a glance at the Hyuuga who was glaring at him, making him laugh. "Alright today let's see about the weapons and tomorrow we'll get serious" Naruto cried out as everybody nodded before they either pulled out or summoned their weapons to see who needed what. Naruto had his kitsune blade, Hinata her vixen sais, Itachi was handed the karasu sword, Deidara was okay with his clay and scope, same with Sasori and Kankuro with their puppets, Gaara had his sand, Temari her fan, Konohamaru grabbed his staff, Anko her dagger, Matsuri her jōhyō, Bee his swords, and the rain nin decided they would go without weapons.
"Okay everybody seal your weapons for tonight and tomorrow they will be fixed, cleaned, and given a new design that I will explain tomorrow" Naruto said as he asked everybody to put their weapons on the scroll in which he sealed and placed in his room for easy access. "Alright we used up a lot of energy and chakra battling Madara so let's rest for the night and tomorrow we'll get into some serious training" Naruto stated as everybody agreed and went to bed, psyched for the weekend as they thought about showing the masked Uchiha their true power.
Day 2
The demon nation clan woke up early, energized on the future battle ahead as they made their way to the dining area where they ate breakfast and decided if they should warn Tsunade about the Raikage's plan. They agreed in the end as they summoned Shizune's fox and handed it a letter talking about their location and the Raikage's plan on starting a war. After that was done they all headed to the training room to practice where they grabbed their weapons from the scroll and was surprised at the new look they had obtained.
"Whoa what happened to our weapons?" Temari asked as she expected her fan that looked brand new and now sprouted a weasel connecting the 3 "stars" on the fan while everybody else expected their things.
"That's what I was talking about on the new look. Your things have been 'upgraded' to the point of receiving a creature blessed by the scroll. They're easier to awaken but can only be used one time so let's get started in awakening them in training hard and to use their help in battling Madara" Naruto said as everybody inspected their weapons to notice the changes before they headed their way to the practice area. Once there, they trained hard, sparring against each other using the weapons only to help awaken the creatures sealed into their weapons. Finally it happened to Naruto, Hinata, and Neji who were sparing against each other.
"Neji, Naruto stop, something's happening to my sais" Hinata cried out as she felt the 3 pronged blade in her hand grow warm before she gasped out in pain along with Neji and Naruto whose own weapons had heated up. Everybody stopped sparring and watched as their leaders and right hand man, er, demon, er wolf I guess grunted in pain before a different part of their body glowed a strange light the same as their weapons.
"Naruto niisan, what's happening?" Konohamaru asked as he and the rest of the clan made their way over to the trio before they watched as the dragon, phoenix, and kitsune peeled themselves off the weapons and wrapped around Neji's arm, Hinata's waist, and on Naruto's back as tattoos. They glowed once more before setting on their skin as everything went back to normal when the trio stood and said they were okay, making everybody calm down and look at the new tattoos on them. "Cool so we get tattoos too?" Konohamaru said excited until Naruto shook his head no, grinning saying he was too young.
"Sorry Konohamaru but only the leaders get to keep the tattoos permanent along with Neji because his bond with the dragon but you can still summon it when you unlock however it's only a one-time thing so be careful when you do summon it, after you unlock it."
"Aw, but it doesn't matter now because now I'm even more psyched in unlocking it, come on Matsuri let's go back to training" Konohamaru stated loudly as the sand genin nodded and ran over to an area to train as the rest of the clan did the same, telling their leaders to take a break. A little while later, Mifune entered to see how they were doing along with some of the samurai they had saved as they watched them practice with the weapons. Naruto analyzed them for a second before he grabbed his large scroll and looked under 'other' only to be surprised at what he found.
"Maybe this is a gift from Inari-sama and he sends us the things we need at the right moment" Naruto muttered as Hinata looked to see what he meant and saw the pile of armor and weapon meant for a samurai. Hinata chuckled as she motioned for Mifune to approach as she looked at the armor and weapons.
"Either that or Kurama really thought of everything" Hinata said before she and Naruto said that the samurai could have the new armor which made Mifune confused. He asked them why they would let them have it in which Naruto and Hinata say saying they didn't want any unnecessary blood shed. "We're going to be in one hell of a battle ahead and if your men somehow get caught up in the battle than we want them to at least be able to handle ninja attacks. A stronger armor and better weaponry would be a wise choice , especially for your leaders so please take them" Hinata asked as Naruto handed them out the gear before they bowed and went away with the stuff while Mifune thanked them properly.
" Arigatō...I will talk to the Raikage about declaring war against the leaf nation for now how about you guys take a break, you have been training very hard" Mifune said as he had one of the samurai go to the kitchen and have the staff fix a big lunch. Thanking Mifune they all went to eat lunch and an hour later went back to training only they decided to add taijutsu with the use of weapons and soon the samurai were training beside them as to better understand their knowledge of how ninja fight. After several more hours and a break for dinner the tired clan decided to call it a night, happy with the results as they took a bath and headed off to bed.
'They are now becoming a true clan, the strongest I have ever seen' Mifune thought as he bid them goodnight before returning to his quarters.
Day 3
"Yo Naruto, wake up already, I got letter for you from Konoha" a loud voice said next to Naruto's ear that made him jump quickly and knock whoever was on him off. Ow brat that hurt, you know you need to be nicer to your favorite frog summoning."
"Eh, Gamakichi what are you doing here?" Naruto asked as he looked down at the orange frog that had just leaped into his lap. "Wait did you say you had a letter from Konoha?" Naruto said when his brain finally kick-started as Gamakichi handed him a scroll before he disappeared in a poof of smoke. After putting on his clothes, Naruto went and rounded up the rest of the biju, who was already at breakfast, before he let them know about the letter. Grumbling about eating without him, Anko sighed and quickly took the letter from him as she read it out loud.
"Let's see...well here's a shocker, it says that Sasuke has changed and is now supporting the clan...somebody mark the time and date" Anko stated seriously which made a lot of them laugh while Itachi raised a brow before he looked at the letter himself.
"Hn, it seems my foolish brother finally did something smart" Itachi said as he went to sit back down while the group laughed harder at his words.
"Alright, here's something Neji will like, it seems that Tenten has unlocked the dragon in her whip" Anko said giving the Hyuuga a knowing look as he blushed and said what was the rest of the news, glaring at Naruto who was about to say something that he knew wasn't appropriate. "The biggest news is that they hope we can stay until the end of the week and that in fact are trying to come early to meet and apologize to us...anybody else think this is a load of bull" Anko said as she passed the scroll around for the others to read.
"Anko!" Naruto cried angrily as he watched Anko shrug and say that it sounded just a little fishy to her that they would suddenly have a change of heart. "Well I trust them and you should too" Naruto growled as Anko sighed and said she was sorry as she handed the scroll, after everybody looked at it, back to the angry kitsune. "So, do you guys want to stay or hurry up and find Madara then leave" Naruto asked the clan who was quiet throughout the argument but blinked when he addressed them. In a series of pros and cons they decided that it would be better to stay and wait for the Kage to come for the summit.
"That way we can prove our strength and determination on not giving up" Hinata said for Naruto whose mouth was currently stuffed with food. After Naruto finished eating he stated that they would practice ninjutsu today as he looked at Itachi and his sharingan which reminded him of something important.
"Oh Itachi, come here for a second, I forgot to give you something that will help" Naruto said as he opened up the doujutsu part of the scroll and handed him everything about the Uchiha clan and the sharingan. Itachi raised a brow before he started to read the scrolls and his eyes grew wide in surprise as he looked at Naruto, shock etched on his face.
"These, these where did you get these from?" Itachi asked as he looked at the lost documents of the Uchiha clan while Naruto said that it was already in the scroll in the cave that used to be Kyuubi's den. Itachi asked him how the Kyuubi got his hands on it which Naruto answered that he didn't no either before Itachi looked back down at the scrolls. "Has anybody else seen these?" Itachi asked not looking up from the scrolls as Naruto said one.
"Only Kakashi-sensei and then he didn't get a chance to finish reading them, I only lent him the one about how to stop from going blind, nothing about the history or how to unlock the ultimate sharingan."
Itachi nodded before he looked up and asked how much Sasuke knew when he saw Naruto rub the back of his head and grinned.
"Uh, he doesn't exactly know yet."
"Why doesn't he know, not that I'm complaining, in fact I glad you hadn't told him yet" Itachi stated which made Naruto relieved as he grinned.
"I didn't tell him because he would have demanded that I give it to him and well, it was in my family first and I didn't want to give it to him yet...he's also a pain in the ass and by keeping it from him makes me feel like I have the upper-hand."
Itachi just chuckled at the blonde who said that they should get started on training as he unsealed the ninjutsu pile. "Okay, whoa what's happening?" Naruto said, taking a step back as the kanji on the scroll changed from jutsu to animals, 9 animals to be exact.
"Tanuki, cat, shark, scorpion, wolf, weasel, badger, snake, and fox" Konan, Nagato, and Yahiko read over Naruto's shoulder as the kanji appeared before they frown and looked at the blonde. "What does this stand for" Yahiko asked as he looked at the other two rain nin who just shrugged.
"Those are the 9 animals that make up the original biju and must be jutsus only accessible to the specific animal" Neji stated as he walked over and poured chakra over to the wolf scroll and unsealed a pile of scrolls before he tried the same with the tanuki and kitsune without success. Matsuri went over and tried to unseal the tanuki scroll but was surprised when she couldn't as Gaara crouched beside her and unsealed it himself.
"I believe it takes the full blooded biju to unlock the scrolls" Gaara stated as Konan, Sasori, Itachi, Deidara, Anko, and Hinata unsealed the piles before looking at some of the scrolls. On them they found jutsu that they could correspond with their hanyo and beast forms including ninjutsu similar to the biju beast ball. The ones that could be used in hanyo form they handed to their animal followers: Matusuri the tanuki, Yugito the cat, Kankuro the scorpion, Nagato the wolf, Temari the weasel, and Konohamaru the badger. Bee who still had the Hachibi couldn't use the jutsus but was okay with it as he busted out in a rhyme. The others went into practicing the jutsus while Itachi focused more on stopping his sharingan from making him blind and unlocking the Rikudou sharingan by a serious and all out battle with the strongest friend or opponent the wielder knew.
"The only friend I had that was the strongest was Shisui and he's dead" Itachi sighed softly as Naruto patted him on his shoulder and said that they would practice against him which made him smile as he looked around. "Thanks but before we get into sparring how about we take this battle outside, we don't want to destroy the place" Itachi said smiling as the group laughed, knowing he was right as they stepped out into bright white snow, the sun reflecting off it making the world glow as they all got into fighting positions and tried out the new jutsus they had just learned.
Day 4
"Ah, put us down you damn hebi, somebody help!" somebody cried out making Naruto jump from his sleep and run to the sound, not caring that he was in his pajamas as he turned the corner to see three people with Kumo forehead protectors suspended in the air by three tails belonging to Anko who was frowning.
"Anko what are you doing?" Naruto cried out as he heard movement coming from the rest of the rooms signifying that the rest of the clan heard the ruckus and was coming to investigate.
"I caught these two looking around in the rooms while their leader sneaked around in the halls and wondered what I should do with them?"
"We're just here to look for somebody now tell her to put us down" Karui yelled as she tried to reach for her sword which was grasped in another tail that suddenly moved away from her after Anko saw what she was doing.
What's with the noise, can't a man get some rest, I need to be ready for our quest-oh it's you Samui, Omoi, Karui, what you doing here?" Bee asked his apprentices who was staring at him then at Yugito who appeared behind him a smile on her face.
"Bee tell them to let us go!"
"Anko can you let them be, they're no harm they're with me" Bee said as Anko sighed and let them go, muttering about losing sleep as she went to the kitchen for some food while they fell to the ground. After righting themselves, they ran over to Bee and Yugito, looks of surprise on their face.
"Wait so you really weren't kidnapped?" Omoi said as he looked over Bee and Yugito who just stood there before asking what they were doing there anyway. "Oh we came ahead to save you...although you don't need saving" Omoi stated as he looked at Karui who chuckled nervously while Samui sighed before she turned to reclaim their weapons as Anko came back, eating on a onigirl. After the excitement died down, Naruto went and changed into his clothes before he joined the rest of the clan for breakfast where Bee was asking Samui if the Raikage was still planning the war in which she responded with a yes.
"Well then we they arrive we'll just show that we're on their side by defeating Madara" Yugito stated as Karui looked around at the clan in their hanyo forms until her eyes landed on Konan with her cat features and twin tails.
"You, you the one who stole the Nibi from Yugito" Karui stated angrily as she drew her sword and went to attack her before the redhead cloud nin was grabbed by Yugito and Bee who told her to calm down.
"No she didn't steal it, I gave it to her" Yugito growled which made Karui stop, Samui and Omoi look at her before asking what she meant. "I mean I let her have the new 2 tail spirit during the ritual" she said seriously which made them all look for they didn't know that.
"I moved out of the way, behind Konan and became the underling."
"Why did you do that?"
Yugito sighed and looked up at them with a sad look.
"I was sick of being treated horrible because I had the Nibi sealed inside me but I noticed that Konan was stronger than I was, so me and Nibi made the decision to let her take over as the new biju."
Yugito turned toward Konan and apologized for what she did but was happy when Konan waved it away saying it was okay. "Truthfully, I like being a cat" Konan said with a grin that made everybody laugh as Naruto got up and said they needed to get back to training. Hours later and a quick break, Naruto, Hinata, and Neji went to Itachi and asked how his sharingan was doing as he smiled and said he felt his eyes getting stronger.
"I think I might be even closer to unlocking it, thank you Naruto, Hinata, Neji" Itachi said as the trio said you welcome before Naruto spoke up and asked him for a favor. Seeing as he was the best with genjutsu they wanted to know if Itachi could help teach them in which he agreed before they all went to practice using and breaking genjutsu. Once again they went outside to the beautiful weather where the samurai joined them again and had fun before they took a rest later that night.
Day 5
"Alright we've done it" Konohamaru yelled excited as he stared at the new monkey tattoo on his shoulder while the rest looked at theirs.
"Now remember Konohamaru that's its only temporary and won't be staying" Naruto said to the shorter shinobi who said yea he knew before going off to show anybody who stood around, making Naruto chuckle. The group thought back to all they had accomplished so far from ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijusu, kenjusu, doujutsu for Itachi (Nagato already looked at his in rain), and were now about to look at the fuuinjutsu scrolls. Itachi was close to unlocking the Rikudou sharingan as he could feel the power within his eyes as everybody helped him train very hard in sparring. Even Samui, Omoi, and Karui were being helpful as they trained with the samurai in sword fighting while Bee gave them pointers.
"So are you going to teach us the "Flying Thunder God Technique" Konohamaru asked, eyes big but was shot down when Naruto shook his head no. "Aw why not, you're teaching Hinata and Neji, why can't you teach us?" Konohamaru whined making Naruto sigh and say that he wasn't right to do it.
"You're neither fast nor flexible enough to do this jutsu and then the time jumping will crush your insides and I don't want you to hurt yourself" Naruto explained which made Konohamaru pout but say okay. He knew that Naruto was just looking out for him and the clan but he was really eager to learn the technique. "The only reason I'm teaching Neji and Hinata is because Hinata is my mate and should know it and Neji is my right hand man and is also meets the requirements to learn the jutsu" Naruto explained before he unsealed the fuuinjutsu scrolls before handing them out.
"While Naruto-kun is teaching us the "Flying Thunder God Technique, the rest can learn how to create and break seals which can come in handy" Hinata stated as she and Neji walked to a corner of the room while the rest of the clan did just that. After they had scanned the fuuinjutsu scrolls, they asked what was under the other pile as Naruto had just finished teaching Hinata and Neji the technique.
"As the name states, everything else that didn't go under the jutsu piles like personal summoning animals" Neji stated as Naruto unsealed and showed them animal scrolls that he tossed to them saying they would be used as their messengers to each other. After all the people got used to their new summoning they went back outside to spar in all they had learned as Mifune and his men watched, interested at the progress they made in just under a week. As the sun started to set, Mifune called to them saying it would be best to rest for they had a busy day tomorrow.
"Yes, that sounds like a good idea" Gaara said as he called his sand back into the gourd while everybody put their weapons away before going back in for dinner. Everybody was talking and having a good time when a samurai came in, holding a hawk, that instantly flew off his shoulder toward the group before it screeched, dropping the letter as it sensed their animalistic power and flew back to the samurai. The group chuckled as Neji picked up the letter and sniffed it, a surprised look on his face.
"Sea water, low damp air...this came from mist country" Neji before he opened it and held a look in confusion as he turned it several different ways, activated his byakugan, deactivated, fueled chakra, then frowned before Itachi chuckled and asked for the letter.
"Kisame has horrible writing but I can understand it" Itachi said as he looked at the paper while everybody crowded around, although they couldn't read like Itachi had said earlier. "It says that Kisame is released and is now currently hiding in Kiri. He's staying with a guy named Suigetsu and that is where we will find him" Itachi paraphrased as the group started celebrating at knowing where the last member was.
"Suigestu...Suigetsu...wait, I know who that is, he's the brother of former swordsmen Mangestu Hōzuki" Nagato spoke up before he said that it was a good idea to stay with him.
"He's easier to find and now Kisame can stay out of trouble."
Naruto nodded before he looked at Mifune and told him to be careful tomorrow in which he nodded and said they should go to bed early which was soon followed by a lot of them yawning.
"Yea bed sounds good right now" Naruto said as he watched Temari and some of the rest rub their eyes as they took a bath then went to bed. Unknown to them there was several large groups on their way and a shock to the whole clan as a certain cloud nin grinned, urging his body to move faster as he mentally said 'soon' as they approached the 3 Wolves Mountain.
Day 6
Early the next day the group sat at the table relaxing and planning their attack when they heard an angry commotion coming from outside. Curious as to who was making the ruckus, Neji and Hinata used their byakugan to scout outside only to start cursing and look at the rest of the clan, a grim expression on their faces.
"The nations are here, Tsunade brought the whole Leaf 13 and by the looks of it, we're about to have a small war outside" they muttered as the clan sighed and muttered that this wasn't good.
"Wouldn't you know it, all of them are early" Kankuro grumbled as Temari asked Naruto what they were going to do when Mifune entered the dining room. He told them to go hide in the training room and let him deal with it before they agreed and left as he went outside. Gaara used his 3rd eye jutsu to check as the event outside got more heated. Mifune tried to calm down the 2 arguing nations without much success.
"HOW DARE YOU DECLARE WAR ON KONOHA FOR SOMETHING AS POINTLESS AS THIS!" Tsunade roared while the rest of the Konoha nin glared at the Raikage's guards who either glared back, sighed, or remained motionless as they watched the Raikage to make sure nothing happen to him.
"WELL IT WAS YOUR BIJU THAT TOOK MINE IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU NEED TO LEARN TO TAKE BETTER CONTROL OF YOUR NINJA."
"OH LIKE YOU'RE ANY BETTER, IF YOU WASN'T SO DAMN STRICT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE RAN AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE" Tsunade roared back which made the Raikage mad as he tried to hit Tsunade. This of course was stopped by Mifune who yelled them to break it up and remind the Raikage that there wasn't any fighting on his grounds. The Raikage growled before he slammed his fit into the ground just in front of Tsunade who didn't even so much as blink. This however didn't sit well with the demon nation clan as Naruto, Hinata, and Neji teleported just inside the front door before summoning the rest of the clan who looked ready to fight.
"I swear if he so much as lay a finger on baachan, brother or no brother Bee, I taking his behind down" Naruto growled, small flames appearing around him as Bee snorted, said go ahead, and that someone needed to kick his brother's ass anyway. Back to Tsunade who snorted as she looked at the Raikage, a smirk on her face.
"You don't scare me Raikage."
"Oh but you should be scared since I have one of your deepest secrets on my team" he smirked as he motioned his hand forward and H stepped forward, face still not giving away any emotions. "Meet my strongest warrior who was handed to me from your village, does he look familiar?" A taunted as he noticed Tsunade face go from one of suspicion to one of shock before she gasped.
"How is that possible?" Tsunade cried, eyes wide as everybody as the teams wondered what was wrong with her as A smirked and explained.
"I decided to spare his life since his eyes would be more useful alive than if he was dead."
This sentence made two people's hearts nearly stop as the Leaf 13 and their sensei ask what he meant while Neji and Hinata grew cold before they activated their byakugan. The Hyuuga duo cried out which made everybody turn toward the door as it opened to show Hinata and Neji who came outside looking straight at H who stared at them through his shades. "Hinata...Neji..." H said while tears started to wield up in the byakugan-users as they made their way down the stairs.
"Can it be, is it really you?" Neji asked softly as H grew quiet, staring at them but not saying anything. Raikage looked between the trio and instantly made the connection as Tsunade growled at him.
"So what are you going to do now, you're going to have him attack his own niece and son" Tsunade said loudly which made the Konoha nin gasp as team Gai made the connection and looked between the duo as H removed his shades to show everybody the pale lavender eyes of the byakugan belong to a Hyuuga. Hizashi Hyuuga, Hiashi's twin, Hinata's uncle, Neji's father...was alive and standing right in front of his son and niece. Neji started crying harder as he ran over to his dad only to be blocked by the Raikage who stood in front of him. Tsunade asked him what he was doing as he turned and gave a look.
"This brat's leader already took my brother and the former biju of mine, no way is he going to kidnap my best man."
Tsunade yelled at "A" to let them meet in which he say no before a loud growl had all of them turning to look at Neji before shock etched on all their faces. Akamaru gave a whimper as he hid behind Kiba at the large white wolf, that was twice as big as him, growled as it turned its attention toward the lightning Kage.
"I have believed my father to be dead most of my life and now you stand in my way? You can't stop me from seeing my father" Neji snarled as he ran forward toward the Kage. "A" ran toward Neji ready to attack him but was fooled when Neji dodged his attack and ran pass him straight for Hizashi. Darui and C soon got involved and tried to cut Neji with their swords but soon found themselves without them and ten feet away from him as Hinata used her tails to move them out of Neji's way.
"Watch out H" the Raikage screamed as he ran toward Neji, ready to defend Hizashi if needed but was shocked when Neji suddenly changed back into his human form and hugged his father, tears running down his face. He and everybody else was even further surprised when Hinata suddenly appeared next to Neji and hugged her uncle who started to cry and hug them back, saying how much he missed them. "A" snapped out his surprise before he asked Hinata how she did that when she turned toward him, anger glowing in her silver-lavender eyes.
"Naruto-kun taught me and Neji the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'" she growled as she turned back to Hizashi who looked surprised at her sudden change in character.
"Yea, she and Neji are a natural at it too" a voice said from the door and they turned to see Naruto grinning, his nine tails fanning behind him as he stared at Neji and Hinata with pride and happiness. Raikage growled and ran toward Naruto ready to punch him out until a voice rang out behind him.
"Brother stop right now."
The Raikage stopped and was shocked when he saw Bee, Yugito, Samui, Omoi, and Karui come out from behind Naruto, both staring at the lighting nin leader who asked them how they escaped.
"We were never kidnapped, we came here on our own free will like how I freely gave up Nibi too" Yugito said frowning at the Raikage who stood there shock and asked why she do that. "I was sick of being treated the way I was because of the biju and when I met Konan, me and Nibi decided she was stronger than I was and gave her the new 2 tailed spirit" the cat nin said with a smirk as Konan appeared from the door and stood next to Naruto at the bottom of the stairs.
"Konan, is that really you?" Jiraiya gasped as Tsunade raised a brow and asked who Konan was until he reminded her of the three orphan children in rain. Tsunade held a look of surprise before she looked at Konan again and noticed something.
"Wasn't there 3 of them?" Tsunade asked until they all heard movement and the rest of the clan appeared but all eyes landed on Itachi before they turned toward Sasuke waiting for the battle to begin. They looked in confusion as the younger Uchiha just stared at Itachi who was also confused but hid it until he saw Sasuke smile and say he wasn't going to hurt him.
"I know the truth about the Uchiha massacre" Sasuke stated simply which succeeded in getting a reaction out of Itachi who looked surprised as he asked how he knew while the younger Uchiha just smirked. "Dobe told me" Sasuke said as he and everybody turned a confused eye to Naruto who was just as confused.
"I didn't tell you nothing, in fact I haven't been in touch with you since I left Konoha" Naruto stated which made Sasuke frowned as he pulled out a piece of paper.
"You have had to because this was sent on a silver fox, a paper with an order for the hit of the Uchiha massacre" Sasuke said looking at the paper and then at Naruto who was staring at Sasuke.
"But I didn't" Naruto said as Tsunade asked to look at the paper which Sasuke handed to her to read. Tsunade read it and held a look of shock at the biggest piece of evidence in the Uchiha massacre stood in her hands.
"So, Itachi's innocent?" Kakashi asked looking at the busty Hokage who turned and nodded which had all the people who knew of Itachi's record looking in surprise. "So if Naruto didn't give Sasuke the paper, who sent it?" Kakashi muttered as everybody turned to look at the clan who said that they could only summon animals that was similar to them.
"Hinata?" they asked as she turned to shake her head before a thought came to her mind.
"Do you think Inari-sama did it?" Hinata asked Naruto who shrugged and said it was possible when the Raikage asked if they could get back to the problem at hand which made Mifune raise a brow and ask what problem as the Raikage pointed toward Naruto.
"He stole two, now five, of my cloud nin without my permission" yelled which just started another argument between Tsunade and "A".
"What do you mean he stole, if you heard correctly they just admitted to all of us that they left willingly and the other three left just the same besides you have one of my men who you kept from his own son."
" He was given to me for the death of another that he killed."
"It's your previous Kage's fault your man got killed because he tried to steal Hinata's byakugan in the first place."
The other three Kages just watched in silence at the heated argument as Mifune once again tried to get things under control but with no success as their loud argument drowned out his words. Seeing as how Mifune wasn't being listened to a loud howled through the sky making some of them jump as the sound echoed off the mountain before everything went quiet. Everybody turned toward Neji who had stopped howling, a frown on his face.
"Mifune-sama is trying to talk so I suggest you two stop the petty argument of whose fault is it and let the man talk" Neji growled as Mifune thanked him and ushered the demon nation clan back into the mountain before he told the Kage to meet in the meeting room where they all got situated and met up with their old friends. The Sand siblings learned that Baki had became the new Kazekage as he greeted them and asked how they were doing before he sighed and said that Suna wasn't the same after they had left. He went into the discussion of how many families went missing in the night in which was interrupted by the trio.
"We know" they said as Baki looked at them in shock as he asked them how. "They asked to come along, it seems they were sick of the way Suna treated the Kazekage too" they stated as Baki sighed and nodded, having seen the truth with his own eyes. A few minutes later, Mifune returned to start the meeting as the biju clan continued to talk while Naruto went to a corner and started meditating which drew everybody's attention as the room grew quiet. Sasuke, who was having a conversation with his brother about his journey, asked what Naruto was doing before said blonde spoke up.
"I need to locate somebody before he does something dangerous with all the leaders in one place. Itachi can you help me please?" Naruto asked as he created a rite on his hand before holding it out. Itachi nodded before taking a kunai, slicing his palm to draw blood before he let it drip into Naruto's hand. Sasuke then watched as the wound healed before asking what that was about as everybody else in the room, except Mifune and the clan wondered the same thing before Naruto spoke up once more. "Tell them that way they can be prepared if things get out of hand" Naruto said his face scrunching up as if he didn't like what he was sensing.
The Mizukage, curious as to what was going on inside the blonde's mind, asked what he meant before the clan turned with serious looks.
"Madara is-"
"Here" Naruto said suddenly making everybody look at him as he pulled out a kunai and threw it straight at the Raikage. The Kage asked what he was doing as "A" moved out of the way and turned in time to see Madara, who fazed in behind him jump back to avoid the oncoming danger.
"Hm, you've gotten sharp Naruto, not at all like the old annoying blonde from before" Madara chuckled as the Raikage stood in surprise as the man who he thought was dead appear right in front of them. Naruto and the rest summoned their weapons before changing into their hanyo from, tails twitching with pent-up energy.
"About time you showed up again Madara, I was starting to think you was scared of us" Naruto said smirking as the Kage asked what was happening and what did Naruto mean. Mifune than caught them all up on what had happened which surprised the Raikage.
"They saved you?" he asked as Mifune answered yes before his face scrunched up in confusion. "Why?" he asked which seemed to have made Anko mad as she turned to look at him.
"What do you mean why, because it was the right thing to do, there doesn't have to be a motive behind it."
"No, I bet you were trying to butter up Mifune so he could try and convince us to spare you Konoha dogs" C said with a smirk which made Naruto mad as he turned toward him.
"NO, that's something a low-life nin like you would do" Naruto growled at C which made the Raikage angry as he got up before he tried to attack Naruto. Bee and Yugito suddenly got in his way, both with frowns on their faces.
"You know he is exactly right C and you brother is thinking the same way, you're not."
"A" said that Bee wasn't strong enough yet to defeat him yet talk about who wasn't thinking and challenged him to a spar which made Bee growl, about to refuse when Naruto words stopped him.
"Go ahead Bee and show him how much stronger you gotten, we can take care of Madara" Naruto said with a side way smirk as Madara started laughing and saying he got a surprise for them. Madara used a summoning jutsu and brought Orochimaru, Kabuto, the Sound 4, Kimimaro, Karin, Juugo and a whole bunch of Sound nin to the room as Naruto scuffed and said that they could defeat them easily. Once again Madara laughed and said that they weren't their opponents as they rushed toward the Kage who got into fighting positions and started to battle the Sound nin.
"Your battle is with them" Madara pointed to the door which made them look and gasp in shock at who was standing their. Roshi, Han, Fuu, and another person stood there. "I rounded up the rest of the biju and now have them under my control" the masked Uchiha said proudly as the clan frowned and asked why he would do that.
"The only way to fight a biju is with another biju."
Naruto growled and said they would set their friends free as they could sensed the smirk behind the mask which got Deidara to thinking.
"Hold up a second, that's his plan. He wants to wear us down so he learn our battle patterns and capture us when he gets the chance, un."
"Good point, thanks for calming me down Deidara, man badgers are cunning, especially in the face of danger" the group said smiling as Madara said it wouldn't matter because he was still going to capture them.
"They're is too many people to battle them here Naruto" Nagato stated which made him agree as he said that they would split, the one with the true biju spirit was to stay and the rest would help with the Kage and teams. Hizashi stayed where he was and said he was going to help his son. "Alright, we'll tell you about the rest of the biju, now get ready for some action" Nagato said as the clan chanted that they were before Nagato and Konan started sprouting out information.
"Roshi has the four tailed ape who specializes in fire, earth, and lava style. Remember we battled him in waterfall so cooling him down is your best option."
"Fire, earth, and lava huh, Neji you're up against him, Hizashi-sama, use gentle fist when ever you can" Naruto ordered before Hizashi asked why Neji was going against him. "Neji is the only one with an advantage in water for we haven't found Kisame yet and thanks to all the snow around he can use it for water" he told Hizashi who nodded and got ready to help his son anyway he could.
"Wait, you better take that battle outside or we will destroy the whole mountain" Yahiko spoke up, making Naruto smack his forehead as he forgot and told Neji to get a move on.
"Neji grab hold of them both and take this battle outside, if you need help I'll send someone" Naruto said as Neji gave curt nod before he grabbed his dad in his wind tail and wrapped the other four around Roshi before he warped them both outside. Seeing that their plan was divide and conquer, Madara decided to take the time to attack but was held back by Hinata who yelled for the rain nin to finish their explanation.
"Alright, uh, Han the five tail whale-horse, specializes in steam jutsu. You're going to need speed on your side for him because he's very fast and uses the steam to make himself even faster. Careful if he switches to his biju form because it likes to ram using its horns" Konan stated as the clan went to help fight the sound nin while Naruto was helping fight back the biju who attacked him.
"Speed huh, Itachi take him out, his steam jutsus aren't anything to take lightly in a room full of people" Naruto said as he used the broad side of his sword to stop a steam-powered punch at him and kicked him back in time to avoid Fuu who came out of nowhere.
"Gotcha" Itachi said as he disappeared in spark of static before Han did too, taken outside by Itachi.
"Alright whose he?" Naruto asked as he noticed the guy with a bubble blower that he knew more than to take lightly if he was a biju even if he looked harmless.
"Utakata, the 6 tailed slug, specialize in water jutsu, corrosive acid, and explosive bubbles."
"Explosive you say, Deidara you take him since this seems to be up your alley but watch out of the bubbles" he said as he dodged a floating bubble and destroyed it with a kunai which sent him back from the force of the explosion as Deidara thanked Naruto before grabbing Ukata and Naruto warped them both outside. "Alright back to you Fuu" Naruto stated as he stared at the last biju vessel before he looked at Hinata.
"Fuu, the 7 tailed rhino beetle, not sure about her choice of style but we know she has strength, speed, a shiny powder from her mouth that can blind you, some kind of bug bite, and the ability to fly" Konan said almost apologetic in which Naruto said it was okay and turned toward Hinata.
"Hina-"
"I'll take her" a voice said from behind and Naruto looked to see Anko who had a serious look on her face. "You two fight better together than separate so I will take her. Right now you need to get over there with Hinata and help her fight Madara" Anko said as she flickered a long tongue at Fuu who was slowly making her way forward.
"Alright I'm counting on you, make sure you don't let the cold get to you" Naruto said as he watched Anko grab hold on Fuu before teleporting them outside
"Naruto, I think some of us should go help the ones outside, there is enough people in here" Sasori said as he watched the battle go on between the Kage, their body guards, and the Leaf 13 who wasn't going to be left out. Agreeing Naruto had Temari go help Itachi, Sasori go help Deidara, and Matsuri and Konohamaru go help Anko. Yugito, Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, Gaara, and Kankuro went to go battle the Sound 4 and Kimimaro while the Sennin was busy battling Orochimaru and Kabuto and the rest battling the sound goons that was dropping like flies. "A" and Bee were dueling it out where neither was giving way. Naruto then turned his attention back to Hinata who he noticed was struggling a bit and he went to help her out at keeping Madara at bay, stalling until the rest of the clan brought their enemy. The fight carried on until the late afternoon when the rest of the clan finally managed to bring down the rest of the biju. Bee finally overpowered his brother with a lariat that was more powerful than the Raikage's and cleanly knocked him out before moving his brother out of the way of the battling. Naruto had just kicked Madara back while Hinata turned a white Zetsu into ash when a kamaitachi appeared and said that the clan needed help.
"They need you to break their seal of control, it's too advance for them" the weasel said as Naruto made several clones that went outside to help while Hinata protected him when Madara saw that as an opening. After the clones left, Naruto made a quick look-around and was pleased to see that all the Sound nin was dead except Karin, Juugo, Tayuya, and Kimimaro who was captured after Orochimaru was brought down with Sasuke's chidori. Kimimaro who was devasted with Orochimaru's death tried to kill them with his bones but was finally calmed by a combination of Sasuke's sharingan and Nagato's rinnengan to calm him down which was also used to calm Juugo down after he gave in to one of his kiling impulses. After about 10 minutes the rest of the clan entered, with the now exhausted but in control biju on their backs as they watched their leaders still battling on.
'Kuso, I don't know how much longer I can last' Naruto thought as he saw his vision swimming before his eyes when he stood up somewhat clumsily. He felt to his knees, chakra near depleted as Hinata was knocked back only to be caught by Hizashi as Madara aimed for Naruto. Setting her down softly, Hizashi took Roshi from Neji's back as checked on Hinata before a grunt caught his attention. Madara was aiming his kama for Naruto, who didn't see it in time and was too tired to dodge if he did.
"Naruto" the clan cried out as Madara raised his arm back to strike only for a growl to be heard and he jumped back not believing what he saw. There in front of him was a blue dragon with white eyes that serpentine around Naruto shielding him from attack as he roared and sent icy blue flames at Madara. Avoiding the flames, the masked Uchiha turned, stun, as he look at Neji whose arm was slightly red from where the dragon came from. Paying attention to the wolf, he forgot about the fox beside him as two shrill cries of birds was heard and 2 small phoenixes appear further driving Madara back from Naruto. When he was far enough away, the clan and everybody else made their way over to him.
"Here Naruto" Kiba said handing him, Hinata, and Neji his family's military pills which they greatly took and ate, filling their chakra surge. Using the extra chakra, he summoned the fox off his back which changed into angry red 9 tail fox that reminded him of Kyuubi. The rest of the teams shared their military pills with the rest of the clan who thanked them before summoning their own creatures while Naruto, Hinata, and Neji had their sent to restrain Madara.
"I think he's about to warp Naruto" Itachi growled as he seen the look in Madara's eye before Naruto smirked and said, "no he won't" before he brought his blade down into the ground and started some hand seals.
"Deity style: repression warp seal" Naruto cried out before his nine tails shot out and touch random places which after he removed his tails was a seal in placed.
"Why didn't you just do that in the first place?" Sasori asked looking at him with a dull look until Naruto answered by saying it suppressed the Flying Thunder God Technique too and would have been too risky.
"Besides each one only lasts about 1-2 minutes, not a lot of time but enough to hopefully capture him" Naruto said as he turned his attention back to the battle where the animals of many kind, fox, phoenix, dragon, hawk, monkey, and wolf were trying to capture and restrain Madara who was doing a good job of avoiding all the animals even without his time-space ability. Finally after 8 minutes, Madara was caught by Hinata's two phoenixes and held down by the rest of the animals as Madara struggled.
"You can't hold me for long, you only have about a minute left" Madara said smug until he noticed Naruto smirked as he said that's all he needed before he summoned the large scroll and unlocked two scrolls inside the sealing kanji.
"50 seconds"
Hinata and Naruto throw the large scroll over to Bee who caught it easily as the two kitsune nodded to each other before waving their hands over the scroll where the sealing jutsu implanted in their minds.
"40 seconds"
"It won't matter because we're about to use our ultimate deity jutsu" Naruto said grinning as he turned toward Hinata. "Ready Hina-tenshi?" Naruto asked as Hinata nodded before bring her tails above her head and fuel chakra creating what looked like a black biju ball. Naruto besides started to create one too except his was white in nature which had all of them looking in surprise as Madara's eyes grew wide.
"30 seconds"
"Neji niisan use the twin dragon spiral" Hinata said as Neji nodded and asked Tenten to help. Surprised she summoned the dragon that had spiraled around her waist as she watched as her and Neji's dragon who was holding Madara's waist down flew up and made a large circle just above Hinata and Naruto while Madara struggled to get up but found he couldn't.
"20 seconds"
"Hey gang, hold him down for us" Naruto shouted as the biju ball shrunk above his head and he felt his energy rapidly draining again. Nodding the clan ran over and took place of the animals as they ran over to Naruto and Hinata before glowing and flying into the two kitsune, sacrificing themselves for energy and chakra.
"10 seconds"
"Naruto what are you doing?" Tsunade cried out seeing the strain to whatever the blonde was doing as he gave her a side glance and grin.
"It's similar to the "Dead Demon Consuming Seal only Inari-sama will appear to pass judgment" Naruto grumbled out as he heard everybody gasp but ignored it as the knowledge of the seal was coming back to him.
"5 seconds"
"Now Hinata" Naruto yelled as he sent the now small biju ball looking sphere toward the center of the dragon circle where it was intercepted by Hinata's two phoenixes at the same time Naruto's nine tails latched onto the dragon and bended its body and tails to create sort of a laxed "s" shape when combined formed the yin-yang symbol.
"3 seconds"
A real yin-yang symbol formed in front of the creatures and started to glow before they heard a cry come from inside the spheres as they sensed Madara was about to warp a smirk they sensed on his face.
"Too late"
"1-"
9 silver fluffy things shot from the circled and wrapped around Madara as he was about to warp. "What the-damnit let me go" Madara cursed as he realized that he couldn't move nor warp.
"Perfect timing" Naruto said, breathing heavily as everybody watched as three furry heads appeared from the circles and split of the symbol before the rest of a black, white, and silver fox appeared and leaped out of the circle to land in front of the two kitsune who got down on one knee and bowed their heads to their deity. Sensing the raw power coming from the 3 foxes, everybody else soon followed suit, knowing not to make a deity angry.
"How can I help you Naruto, Hinata" the white fox, Inari, asked as he and his daughter Himitsu turned to look at the bowing foxes while Li, the silver fox, walked over and put his paw on Madara's chest, enough force to stop him from struggling. The rest of the clan moved away quickly bowing along the way as they made their way behind their leaders.
"Inari-sama, please help rid the world of an evil, pass judgment on Uchiha Madara" Naruto asked loudly making said Uchiha cry out and try to warp but couldn't as Li chuckled and looked down at the masked figure.
"Don't waste your energy, I have the ability to repress all abilities even your time-space warping technique" Li snarled as he started to drag Madara toward Inari and Himitsu all the while trying to stop the fox but which all his limps held by tails and one around his waist, it was futile. Everybody heard movement and turned to see "A" who had woken up staring in shock at the scene in front of him as he asked what was happening. As Tsunade filled him in on the events, Li had dragged Madara toward Inari and Himitsu who each touched him with a tail before his body went into straight paralysis before they started to speak again.
"Madara, you have done torturous things in life for your own selfish gain, I pass my decision under the law of those above me and state my punishment for your actions. My judgment is...the sealing of your ability of "Space-Time Migration" and the use of your sharingan. You are no longer allowed to be a Uchiha until you have proven yourself under the eyes of Naruto and Hinata, this is my final judgment" Inari stated as he and Himitsu grabbed the biju ball that was created by Naruto and Hinata with their tails.
"NO, HAVE MERCY" Madara screamed as he tried to move but couldn't while he heard the heavy breathing Naruto who said that they were having mercy on him before the yang sphere slammed into his head, right over his eyes as the yin sphere slammed into his heart making him cry out in pain. Naruto and Hinata doubled over and fell to both knees as they started to cough up blood.
"Niisan/neechan, what's the matter?" Konohamaru and Neji asked heading over to them but stopped when Naruto and Hinata's tails came up motioning for them to back up.
"We're fine...we just feel...his pain...when we summon...Inari-sama" the duo manage to gasp out, body racked with pain that they felt straight to their head and heart.
"Fine, go ahead and finish" Neji said as he and the rest of the clan backed up as Naruto and Hinata started to cough up more blood before screamed out, "now Inari-sama, ABILITY REPRESSION SEAL" as they all watched the sphere be absorbed into Madara before his masked cracked, showing his true face and second eye which all was shocked to see held the Rinnegan before both eyes turned black. Madara let out a gasp before his body went limp and he stopped moving, unconscious from the shock and pain.
"It's done Naruto, Hinata" Himitsu said as she waved a tail around them and the creatures from before formed in front of them as the phoenixes, dragons, and kitsune went back to their respectful masters. Naruto and Hinata nodded, looking up at the three blurs that was foxes as they had a hard time focusing. "Get some sleep you two" Himitsu said smiling as she, Li, and Inari jumped into the symbol before it disappeared with a pop as the duo nodded before passing out, the last thing they heard was their names being called by the clan.
