Pirate Uzumaki Chapter 17

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Naruto couldn't believe Yakushi Kabuto was alive. Finally, one of the Kings was standing in front of him.

Kabuto still had a smile on his face.

"You look like you seen a ghost Naruto-kun. That's OK, I had the same look when I saw your wanted poster. You had the Rinnegan, but those eyes of yours looks different. What did you do?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes at him. "I'm the only one getting answers today, where are all the others?"

Kabuto raised an eyebrow. "Others?"

"The other Kings!"

"He knows about that huh. I was hoping he didn't know about It." thought Kabuto.

The blond Pirate summoned the Kusanagi sword and charged Kabuto.

Kabuto widen his snake like eyes. That was Orochimaru's sword! He looked for it, but could never find it. Then out of nowhere, Naruto appeared behind him.

Kabuto jumped back and barley escaped that attack. He had a cut on his chest and he could barley follow Naruto's movements at all.

Kabuto held his hands in a peace like gesture. "Wait Naruto! I'm not your enemy. I come to...

He was cut off as Naruto appeared in front of him and kicked him in the face, which sent him flying. He landed hard on the ground.

"Bull shit! I'm going to kill you!" Yelled Naruto.

Kabuto knew he couldn't talk his way out of this. It looked like he had to fight Naruto. He did some hand signs and started to have lots of snakes come out of his mouth. All he had to do was capture Naruto. Since Naruto just used a large Shinra Tensei, he could capture Naruto easy without hurting him. That was the last thing he wanted.

Naruto saw this technique before or rather the Kyuubi told him about it. All those snakes were supposed to have swords in their mouths. The thing he didn't understand was, he didn't see any swords. It didn't matter to him at all. Then he summoned Susanoo. Then it killed all the snakes he one swing.

Kabuto widen his eyes when he saw this. He was shocked that Naruto was using Itachi's Susanoo and the worse that it had the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka sword.

"Calm down. It's not like Susanoo is fast..."Kabuto was cut off by his thinking, when a giant fist that was Susanoo crushed down on top of him.

Then Naruto landed a strong kick on his stomach, which caused Kabuto to cough up blood. Naruto grabbed him by his throat and started to squeeze it.

Kabuto was shocked about how much power Naruto had. Not only he used a large scale Shinra Tensei, had Susanoo, and still able to use so much power. He didn't seem like any of those jutsus were affecting his health. What was scary was that Naruto's Susanoo was a lot faster than Itachi and Sasuke's Susanoo.

Naruto glared at him. "It seems like my plan worked. I got one of the Kings to come out of hiding. Tell me where the others are now!"

"Wait...a..."

"Shut up! You betrayed the Leaf Village, you helped take Sasuke away from the village, and you joined the Akatsuki!"

Naruto was about to crush his throat, when Kabuto shed his skin like a snake and escaped his grasp.

"You're just like Oorochimaru."

"I didn't come to fight; I only came to offer my assistance."

Naruto raised his eyebrow at his speech. "Assistance?"

Kabuto started to have tears coming out of his eyes.

"You don't have the right to cry." stated the blond Pirate.

Kabuto lifted his glasses and wiped his eyes. "I'm just so happy to finally found you. I have been waiting for the day for you to make your return. I was so happy when I saw your wanted poster years ago. I was lucky to be nearby to finally see you again."

Naruto was confused of what Kabuto was saying. He could see a person's chakra and can tell if they lie, because of the fluctuations in that person's chakra made from dishonest emotions. He knew Kabuto was not lying when he said that.

"All I ask from you is to listen to me. After I explain myself to you, you can kill me if you want to. I even give you all my power, knowledge, and my base."

"Why should I even listen to you? I would rather kill you." stated Naruto.

"Because I have some answers that you were looking for." was Kabuto simple answer.

"Fine, start talking."

Kabuto shook his head. "Not here."

Naruto eyed him. "What are you up to?"

"Nothing, do you think the Marines are just going to stand by and do nothing about what you did here? They are on the way here and we should leave this place now before they get here." explained Kabuto.

"Do you think they are going to send the Admirals here?"

"Yes. I think it's best if we leave now."

Naruto walked towards the ocean. "No. I'm going to kill two of them and kick the other one's ass."

Kabuto give him a sad look. "This is about what happen on Ohara isn't it?"

"That one Marine killed Oliva. I won't let them get away with that. Start talking." Naruto odered.

Kabuto let out a sigh. "We have to be smart about this. Just come with me now, I promise you I won't lie or trick you." Then he rolled his eyes. "Sasuke never listen either. He killed first and asked questions later."

Naruto didn't look happy being compared to Sasuke. "Fine, but watch your mouth."

Kabuto nodded and was glad Naruto agreed.

"How are you alive?"

"I think you already know the answer to that Naruto-kun."

"Fushi Tensei?" (Living Corpse Reincarnation)

"Yes, that jutsu that allows me to live forever in other people's bodies." answered Kabuto.

Then out of nowhere a giant snake that was bigger than Manda and Gamabunta put together came out of the ocean.

Naruto was about to attack, but Kabuto grabbed his arm. "Relax. That snake is with me."

Naruto grabbed Kabuto's hand and shoved it off. "Don't touch me!"

All Kabuto did was nod his head. He didn't want to give Naruto a reason to attack him.

"That snake looks like Manda, but bigger."

"In a way it is, but its name is Manda Seven."

"Seven?"

"I made more clones of Manda, but Manda seven is far more powerful and loaded with great technology." explained Kabuto to him.

The snake opened its mouth and Kabuto jumped in it. He then turned and looks at Naruto. "What are you doing? Let's go."

Naruto just glared at him. "Do you really think I'm going to jump in a snake's mouth with you?"

Kabuto sweat dropped at that. "You're not scared are you?"

Naruto just glared at him. "I don't have snake scales like you and Orochimaru. Also I can't summon snakes like Sasuke or Anko. You really think I'm that stupid to jump in a snake's mouth with you?"

"Well, you could stay and fight Marines or come with me and get your answers you desire." Was all Kabuto said.

Dispite his better judgement, he jumped in the there with Kabuto. Then the snake closed its mouth and moved back in the ocean. Then it dove in the water.

{Inside Manda Seven}

Naruto saw large teeth and they were standing on a large tongue. Then he walked to the back of its throat, but Kabuto called to him. "Don't go any further Naruto-kun, you keep going there, the acid will kill you."

"So are we heading to your hideout?"

Kabuto smirked. "This is my hideout."

Naruto widen his eyes. "You mean your home is in a snake's mouth?"

Kabuto went over the right side of the mouth near a back tooth. He touched the tooth and then a light came on and a keypad showed up on the tooth. Kabuto started pushing buttons and then a secret door opened up that looked like a small elevator. Then he looked over at Naruto. "I told you this snake had a lot of technology. Come on in Naruto-kun."

Naruto walked in the elevator with Kabuto. Then the doors closed and in they started going down. "How did you get this technology?"

"I stole it from Dr. Vegapunk."

Naruto heard of him from Nyon.

Then it stoped and the doors opend. They both walked out and it looked like they were in a sewers. Kabuto then started to walk left.

"Follow me. You have to take the right paths or you be killed."

"Traps?"

The snake like man nodded his head. Naruto tried to see through the walls with his eye powers. He was a little suprise that he couldn't see anything.

Kabuto must have noticed him trying to see through the walls. "No one can use Chakra or Devil fruit powers. Well, I'm the only that can still use my powers."

"How can you do that?"

"Lots of experiments, it's just a safe measurement for me just in case someone got in here."

Naruto could understand that.

"You still have some of your powers kit."

Naruto nodded. He knew the Kyuubi was right.

They keep walking for another five minutes when Kabuto stop walking. He bit his thumb and started to do hand signs, then he place his hand on the wall and the wall turned in to the door. Both of them walked through the door. Naruto was shocked of what he saw.

There was a giant room that was the fourier. There were a lot of doors around, but there was a bunch of crouches and chairs. There was also a fire place and Den Den Mushi next to a screen that was left on. It looked like a Daimyo or a Noble lived here.

"You have a lot of space." stated Naruto.

Kabuto smiled. "It does get lonely around here, when you live by yourself."

"This place is too good for you."

Kabuto shrugged his shoulders.

Naruto didn't say anything more.

"Would you like a tour of the place?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes at him. "Start talking or die."

Kabuto sighed at that. "Fine, but first I get us some drinks. Make yourself at home." Then he walked to the down stairs door to the left.

Naruto took off his coat and laid it on the back of the chair and sat down. Then Kabuto walked in with two bottles of rum. He sat down in the chair across from him.

Kabuto pass him on e of the bottles. "I heard you were drinker."

Naruto didn't even open it.

"Something wrong?"

"Is it poison?"

Kabuto rolled his eyes. "Really? Why would I bring you all the way here just to poison you?"

"I still don't like it. Here I am about to drink rum with a enemy."

Kabuto smiled at that. "Remember Naruto-kun, you're a Pirate now. There are no more ninjas."

The blond Pirate opened the bottle of rum. "This is what's going to happen Kabuto. You can tell your story and after that I will decide to rather or not to kill you."

He told the snake man in a cold voice.

"Fair enough." said Kabuto as he brushed some of his silver hair out of his face. "I guess the best way to start is at the very beginning of my life. Like you Naruto, I had no memory of my birth parents at all. I was always a spy for Sasori. I think he killed my parents. Anyway, Sasori decided to send me to the Leaf Village with his brain washing jutsu."

"Brain Washing?"

"It makes you forget that you are spy until Sasori wants you to remember. It's the perfect technique use for spying on a enemy. There was a battle at Kikyo pass were both sides were killed. I was the only survivor, because Sasori was the one that killed all those people. The head Chief Medical officer took me in as his own and raised me like a son. All went great until Sasori came back for me. He sent me as a spy to Orochimaru."

Naruto narrowed his eyes. He still hated Orochimaru.

Kabuto smiled a little bit. "Of course Orochimaru saw through Sasori's jutsu. He removed it from me. At the time I thought he was great man. It's like being next to God. I really worshiped the ground that he walked on. Orochimaru sent me back to the Leaf Village has his spy. All the while I was fooling my adoptive father, the Leaf Village and Sasori. Then the year came when you, Sasuke, and Sakura came to the Chunin Exams. You know that story pretty real."

"That's one of the reasons I want to kill you."

"I thought Sasuke was going to become a great ninja and not mention Orochimaru was supposed to get his body. I felt you were a weak ninja that couldn't get anywhere. I changed my mind about you that time on the bridge."

Naruto raised a eyebrow. "You mean that time Captain Yamato, Sai, Sakura, and I meet up with you?"

Kabuto nodded. "The Tenchi Bridge, The Kyuubi's power was amazing. After you and the others followed us to the hideout, Orochimaru and I watched you guys deal with Sasuke. I was amazed that you didn't even use Kyuubi's power. I couldn't figure it out until the day Sasuke and Orochimaru fought. Sasuke won that fight and I felt lost without him. Like my purpose was taken away from me. I wanted to save Orochimaru, so I put his remains in my body. They soon started to take over and I was going to let them. That's when I thought about you Naruto-kun. It hit me that you been fighting with the Kyuubi. Like you were proving that you were stronger and I wanted to be like you. I fought back."

Naruto rembered that. Kabuto came to Hinata, Yamato, and him. He gave them the book about the Akatsuki.

"It took me a while, but I took control of Orochimaru's power. I combined my own power with his. It took a lot of testing. The hardest one was making Manda Two and getting the DNA I needed for Edo Tensei. It took a lot of grave rubbing. Then I heard some terrible news."

"What was it?"

Kabuto gave him a serious look. "That you were defeated by Pein. Around the same time I heard all the Kages got together for a meeting. Kisame also hunted down Bee, the Hachibi's Jinchuriki. From what I understand, Bee killed himself and that put a stop to Madara and Pein's plan. It all went down so fast."

"What happen after that?" This is what Naruto wanted to know ever since he came to this time.

"I wanted to team up with Madara. I offered him more men power."

Naruto raised a eyebrow. "Men power?"

"Edo Tensei."

Then out of nowhere, Naruto's hands were around Kabuto throat. "Who did you summon?"

Kabuto decided to speak the truth, even though Naruto would hate him for this. It's not like Naruto trusted him anyway. "I summoned past Kage, Famous ninja, and previous Jinchurikis."

"Wait Kit. Don't kill him."

Naruto was annoyed that Kyuubi was trying to get him to calm down.

"They're all dead now Kit, Focused, on our goal. We need information."

Despite his better judgment, He let go of Kabuto and sat back down. "So, Madara agreed to team up with you?"

"Yes, but he didn't trust me at all." said a smirking Kabuto. "He then took me to the Rain Village where the rest of Akatsuki was. We didn't make a presence known until ten minutes later."

[Flash Back]

[Rain Village, inside one of Pein's tower.]

There was a big room with three chairs. On the three chairs sat Konan, Pein, and Kisame. Standing close by was Zetsu.

"I still can't believe this happen!" Complained Zetsu's black half.

Zetsu looked over at Kisame. "How could you let that happen Kisame-san."

Kisame just glared at him. He grabbed his sword Samehada and got up from his chair that he was siting on. "That Jinchuriki was not the type do that. It caught me off guard."

"You failed the Akatsuki."

Kisame pointed his sword at him. "It takes a lot to make me angry, but we someone tells me I failed. I want to kill them." Zetsu meanly raised an eyebrow. "I've been loyal to Madara for a long time. I want to live in his Moon Eye Plan world."

"Stop. Fighting will not help at all. Besides, Kisame is not to blame for Akatsuki's failure Zetsu." stated Pein.

Konan eyed him. "What do we do now Pein? Without the Hachibi, our plan is up in smokes." when Pein just sat there, she continued. "We failed Yahiko."

They all could tell Pein was giving off a lot of killing intent.

Zetsu spoke up. "Madara was right about you two. You were planing on betraying us."

Konan stood up. "You both were planning on doing the same." Then she got in a fighting position. "I want to bring peace to this world and we will kill anyone in our way. Even it means to kill Madara and the two of you."

Kisame didn't want to fight them, dispite his love for battle. He knew he couldn't defeat Pein, but he knew he could take on Konan.

Zetsu wasn't sure what to do. He really hoped Madara would hurry up and come back.

"Konan." She looked over at friend. "Stand down. Both plans can't be used now. Besides, we've got company."

Just then Team Taka showed up. Sasuke, Jugo, and Suigestu went straight after Pein.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Team Taka flown back and hit the floot hard.

Konan, Kisame, Zetsu, and Pein stood facing Taka.

"What's the meaning of this you brats? Madara told you to come here so we could talk about future plans."

Karin still thought Zetsu was the weirdest person she ever seen. It was like two people lived in one body. It wasn't looking good for her. It was a four on four fights. She told Sasuke she wasn't a fighter.

Sasuke had his Mangekyo Sharingan on. He glared at the one that destroyed the Leaf Village. "You bastard! You stole me revenge against the Leaf Village!"

Pein just raised a eyebrow. "You were angry at me?"

Sasuke glared at him.

Suigestu laughed at Pein. "What was your first clue?"

Then Pein gave them all a killer look. It made Jugo and Karin scared. It even made Sasuke and Suigestu step back in fear. "You all failed the Akatsuki, because of your failed Uchiha Sasuke. My goal can't be reached anymore. It's because you failed to capture the Eight Tails. Madara even vouched for you. Truly, your brother was stronger than you. He would have captured it. Now the four of you will die!"

Before the Akatsuki could charge at Team Taka, Madara appeared in between them.

"Stop!" Then the mask man let out a long sigh. "It looks like we can never, reach our goals now since the Hachibi is dead. I don't blame you Kisame or you Sasuke. However, like I told you in the forest. You owe the Akatsuki, but we can give you your goal."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that. "What do you mean?"

"Your goal is to kill everyone in the Leaf Village. Well, there are still a lot of people that survived Pein's attack thanks to the Fifth Hokage Tsunade." Madara told him.

Sasuke smirked at that.

Then Kabuto walked in the room. "Always thinking of revenge huh Sasuke?"

The others widen their eyes, because Kabuto looked just like Orochimaru.

"What the hell happen to you Kabuto?" questioned Suigestu.

Kabuto explain to them that he put Orochimaru's remains in himself.

Pein looked over at Madara. "Why did you bring him here?"

"He can be useful to the Akatsuki." answered Madara.

Konan eyed him. "What good is the Akatsuki now? We lost everything."

"Your right about that, I think I found a new plan we can do. I want you all to listen and you can decide for yourself rather or not to help me with my new goal."

Madara told all of them. Then he walked over and sat in Kisame's chair.

Sasuke glared at Madara. "Start talking!"

"There is one thing we could do to get all of goals acheive." Madara stated. He looked at the others. "Peace, power, money, revenge, and anything else we desire."

"How do you suppose that?" questioned Pein.

"We will achieve by uniting all shinobi forces under us."

The others were surprise by this.

"You mean that old Akatsuki plan that we told the other dead members?" Konan asked.

Madara smiled under his mask. "Somewhat like that, but we will be a Government."

Kisame sighed at that. "It's like what other people are trying to do."

"I'm saying the Akatsuki will be Government of the world! We will control everything and I have step by step plan on how do it."

Kabuto smiled at him. "It seems you thought this out some."

Madara just shrugged. "You always have a backup plan, even if you think your first plan won't fail."

Sasuke however, gave Madara a look. "How does this fit with my plans?"

"What do you plan to do after you kill everyone in the Leaf Village?" Madara asked the avenger.

Zetsu asked Sasuke the next question, since he didn't answer Madara."Wouldn't you rather live in a palace, rather than some cave?" Sasuke glared at him. "Shame the new Uchiha Clan won't get to live in a nice place, like they desired to be."

That right there was enough to get Sasuke to join them.

"How do you plan to do this? The other nations won't just simply surrender their power to us." stated Pein.

Then Madara laughed out loud. "It's really simple actually. We are going to get the leaders to join us."

Suigetsu raised an eyebrow. "Leaders?"

Madara looked over at him. "The Kages."

The Taka members looked shocked to hear that. Akatsuki wasn't shocked because they figured out what Madara was now up to.

"Are you nuts? The Kages will never agree to work with you." Stated Karin.

"You be suprised what fear can do soome people."

Sasuke looked at the old Uchiha. "What do you mean?"

"The Third Tsuchikage fears me because I fought with him in the past. I had Zetsu frame the Leaf village for the Hachibi Jinchuriki's death. The Raikage would want our power to get revenge. The Hokage, Kazekage, and the Muzukage hopefully will fear our power or be killed."

Sasuke scoffed at that. "Tsunade's not the type to listen. She's just like Naruto."

No one notice, but Kabuto seem sad when they talked about the now dead blond ninja.

Madara smiled at Sasuke, but you couldn't tell thanks to his mask. "It's a good thing Tsuande not the Hokage anymore."

"It's Danzo."

Then Sasuke started going off. "That son of a...

Kisame cut him off with laughter. "No need to throw a temper tantrum. What would Itachi think?" He questioned with a grin on his face.

Sasuke glared at the fish man.

"Easy Sasuke, We need Danzo for now, but once we use him. Then you can have your revenge agiasnt him. Just think about killing all the others and saving Danzo for the last."

Sasuke didn't say anything.

"What about the other countries?" questioned Konan.

"Their leaders can join as well. What do you say? Are you in or out?" Madara questioned them.

Pein looked over at Konan. They wanted to keep fighting for peace and right now this was the best chance they have.

The Rinnegan user walked over to Madara and held out his hand. "I'm with you."

Madara shook his hand, Glad that Nagato decided to join him.

Where ever Nagato went, Konan followed him. "I'm in as well."

"I'm in." said Zetsu. "This could be fun."

"I followed you and Akatsuki for a long time. Why stop now? I'm in." said Kisame.

Madara looked over at Sasuke.

"I"m in, but don't get in my way." Said Sasuke.

Madara laughed to himself. "That kid getting to cocky." Then he looked at the rest of Sasuke's team. "Well?"

Karin wonders how she gets herself with such dangours fugures. First Orochimaru, Jugo, Suigestu, and now the Akatsuki that even Orochimaru feared. "Yes."

Suigetsu had a grin on his face. "I'm in."

"I will also join." said Jugo. He would follow Sasuke no matter what.

Then Madara looked at the last one. "What about you Kabuto?"

Kabuto just smiled as always. "Of course I'm in."

Madara smiled under his mask and stood up. "Then we need to prepair for war. No doubt a lot of people won't agree with our plan."

Kisame didn't understand one thing. "I thought you said the Kages will join us. Who is going to stand in our way?"

"Tsunade will. She's in a coma, but not dead and she won't stay like that for long. She is a Senju after all. Half of all the villages we go to Tsunade to fight us." answered Madara.

"It sounds like Tsunade needs to die." stated Suigetsu.

"I have plan for that as well." He then walked over to Pein and Konan, so they could be the only ones to hear him. "Get your other Paths back that you lost to Uzumaki."

Pein nodded and left the room with Konan.

Then Madara walked over to Zetsu and handed him some scrolls. "Send those letters to the Kages, Fire Daimyo, and the leaders of the other small villages." He ordered him. Then he whispered to Zetsu. "Keep an eye on Kabuto white Zetsu."

Zetsu nodded his head and sunk in the floor.

Then Madara looked at Kisame," Take it easy for now Kisame. That goes for the rest of you, but Sasuke and Kabuto."

Kabuto raised a eyebrow at this.

"Anyone that you can get to join us from the Sound Village will help us."

"I can do that."

Then the mask man spoke to Sasuke. "We need you to get more powerful Sasuke. Bee was stronger than you and he tricked you as well. If it wasn't for your team, you be dead."

"How do you suggest I do that?"

"Transplant Itachi's eyes into your eyes."

Sasuke walked up to him. "Let's get this over with."

With that Madara and Sasuke both disappeared.

[End of Flash Back]

Kabuto let out a sigh. "Madara gave Kages and Leaders a decision rather or not to join the Akatsuki. He gave them all a month to think about it. It was the meeting that started the Fourth Shinobi war and it was held in the Land of Iron."

[Flash back]

[Land of Iron]

In the meeting room was one long table on the right side of the room and had another table on the left. There a single disk that the leader of Iron was supposed to use.

On the left side the table sat Pein, Konan, Kisame, Zetsu, Sasuke, Suigetsu, Jugo, Karin, and Kabuto.

On the right said sat A, Onoki, Gaara, Mei, Minfune, Danzo, Fire Daimyo, Koharu, and Homura.

Then Madara walked in the room. He no longer wore his Akatsuki cloak or his orange mask. The Uchiha had light purple mask on and what looked like old Uchiha robe or coat. On his back were his old war fan and a sword. What was scarier was that he had a Sharingan in his right eye and a Rinnegan in his left eye. Both Pein and Konan narrowed their eyes at Madara, but didn't say anything.

"Welcome. I hope you all have had no trouble coming here." The mask man said as he sat down where Mifune would have sat. "I gave you all plenty of time to make the right choice. So will you join me or not?"

A stood up first and slammed his fist on top of the desk. "You never said that old war hawk would be here!" He yelled as he pointed at Danzo.

Danzo showed no emtion what so ever.

A glared over at him with hate. "You ordered the death of my brother!"

Danzo glance over at him. "I haven't been Hokage long. I don't know anything about your brother's death."

Before A could go on a rampage, Hormura spoke up. "Danzo was not behind it, it was the Fifth Hokage Tsunade."

A glared at the elder. "Why would she want my brother dead?"

Koharu spoke up next. "Tsunade always did things her way."

"Your brother was really strong. I would want him dead as well, but I'm not stupid enough to try and start a war with your village. If I was behind the assassination of your brother, I wouldn't leave any evidence behind. Tsunade not known for being stealthy." explained Danzo.

A sat back down. Even though he didn't like Danzo, the old man had a point. He looked over at Madara. "I'm in."

Madara smiled under his mask. It would seem Danzo and the Elders were keeping their end of the bargain.

Onoki spoke up next. "Scary as ever I see Madara. I'm surprised that you're still alive."

"Same to you, Onoki"

"Someone will have to be a fool to be your enemy. I'm in as well." Onoki told everyone.

"What about you Gaara? I'm very curious about you answer." Stated Madara.

The others looked at Gaara as well. The most was the Mizukage. When the letter came from Madara about joing him or facing a war with the Akatsuki. She would only trust Tsunade or Gaara. Since Tsunade was in a coma, she visited Gaara. The past five weeks they became close. It was Gaara that suggested that they join with Madara.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

Pein had respect for Naruto. He was the only one that gave him such a hard fight before.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Gaara. He wanted to kill Naruto himself, but the blond ninja got himself killed.

Madara let out a sigh. He wondered if Gaara was going to make some type of epic speech and then do something stupid like Naruto would do.

"He was the chosen one. I really thought he would have taken you all down, but he was killed." stated Gaara looking at Pein. "I'm not going to try and stop any of you. I'm just protecting my village. I join up with you all."

"Well, that's not what I thought you were going to say. However, you've a lot smarter than I thought kid." Madara told him. Then he looked at Mei.

"Since Gaara joining you, then so will I." Was all she said.

Mifune was hoping the Kazekage or the Mizukage would say no, but his country would be destoryed if he didn't team up with Madara. "My country will join you Madara."

Both the elders nodded their heads and the Fire Daimyo agreed also to join the Akatsuki.

Madara stood up. "We are no longer called Akatsuki. From today on, we will be known as the World Government!"

[End of Flashback]

"Then it was the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War."

End of chapter.
