Second Day of War
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; however I do own Akemi, Yukiko, Zero, Rukia and Sayuri. And the Shīringu is mine and mine alone!
Summary: "When I died and came into the Naruto universe, I didn't think that I would be able to change much. I also thought that if I told anyone that they wouldn't believe me and I definitely didn't think that I could get a Kekkei Genkai either. But I was wrong on all accounts and I could not be happier." SEQUEL!

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
I walk back to the group and see Naruto send out hundreds of Shadow Clones, all in his Tailed Beast Chakra Mode. When I saw him do this, I sighed in relief. With Naruto Clones out there, they'd be able to detect any White Zetsu that had slipped past us and stop them from before they could harm anymore people, like the Medic Ninjas or the Logistics Team, who are arguably the most important people in this war.
Naruto turns to me. "Where's Hinata?" He asks, looking directly to me.
I point to the tent in front of us. "She's in there, in the back left hand corner. She's asleep at the moment so don't wake her." I warn him. Hinata needed sleep to get rid of that poison in her system, it was powerful and deadly if not treated properly. Even though the poison was made specifically for me, it would still harm others if it's in their bloodstream for too long.
Naruto nods his head and walks into the tent.
Sasuke was the first person to notice that I came back. "What did she need?" He asks, looking to me with a curious expression.
I grin and open my mouth to speak, only to be cut off.
"Sasuke! The conversation between the Hokage and her is none of your business." Fugaku scolds harshly, his voice stern.
Sasuke stops grinning and frowns, he looks at the floor again.
Fury welled up inside. "Don't you dare speak to Sasuke like that." I hiss at Fugaku, I was not going to let that slide past. No one, and I mean no one speaks to the people I care about like garbage.
It was at this point that Naruto came back out of the tent, looking happy to have seen Hinata alive. When he walks out however, he could feel the awkward atmosphere, he looks to Fugaku and sees an angry expression on his face. Saying nothing, Naruto quietly walks over to Sasuke, feeling a little awkward to have come back at that moment.
"What did I miss?" Naruto whispers over to Sasuke.
Sasuke sighs, unable to explain it.
Fugaku's glare lands on me. "And who are you to speak to me like that?" He demands in a threatening tone, his fists clenching at his side.
Itachi sighs in exasperation and shakes his head, he and Mikoto seemed to share the same expression, not pleased with Fugaku at the moment. Fugaku had always had a temper on him, but he was usually very good at keeping it under check.
"I'm someone who happens to care about Sasuke, what about you?!" I snap at Fugaku, my voice raising a few octave as I shouted this.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, I look and see that it's Sasuke. He shakes his head at me, "He's not worth it." Sasuke whispers to me.
Still feeling angry, I calm myself down. Sasuke didn't want me to hurt his father, because he knew full well that I'd knock Fugaku across the battlefield regardless.
"Fugaku, that's enough." Mikoto scolds, her voice harsher than usual.
Grumbling, Fugaku says nothing more and crosses his arms over his chest, like a petulant child.
"Now, what did Obaa-san say?" Naruto asks, pretending as though nothing had happened.
Fugaku's eye twitches at the informality, but he was ignored.
I smile at Naruto, thankful for that distraction. "She gave me permission to make my own undead army." I say, an excited grin on my face. I had been waiting for this opportunity for a while now, it's what I had been preparing for the past few weeks.
Mikoto looks to me. "She would really give you permission? Isn't the Re-animation Jutsu forbidden?" Mikoto asks, looking at me with concern on her face.
"Tsunade has decided to use all military strength, I'm just aiding her with that." I say with a grin on my face.
Itachi looks around. "We'd best go to a more secretive location for you to perform this Jutsu." Itachi was eyeing everyone to make sure no one may have accidentally overheard our conversation.
I nod my head agreeing with him. If I performed this Jutsu out in the open, I would be in serious risk of someone spying on us and I wouldn't be meeting Tsunade's condition.
"The forest up a head should be alright." Sasuke says, pointing to the heavily wooded forest.
With the location set, we all set off into the forest. We walked for a while, making sure we were far enough from the Second Division as we didn't want any wanderers finding us. Naruto and Mikoto continued to chat, each seeming to try distract Sasuke from noticing that Fugaku was trying to get Itachi to speak to him. Itachi, however seemed to be ignoring him and more focused on the task at hand.
We find a clearing on the woods that was heavily covered in trees. It was the perfect location to perform this Jutsu in secret.
"Itachi, Sasuke, can you two make sure no one is nearby?" I ask the two Uchiha. I trusted those two to make sure no one was spying and could see that I was the one who used the Re-animation Jutsu.
Both Itachi and Sasuke nod and began scanning the area.
Fugaku seemed like he wanted to protest, but Mikoto places a hand on his shoulder and shakes her head at him. There was still a stern look on her face, giving him a warning not to say anything. Fugaku seemed to heed that warning.
Sasuke and Itachi give me the all clear, indicating that no one was spying on us.
"Akemi-chan, who are you bringing back first?" Naruto asks, a curious expression on his face.
I open my mouth, about to answer him, but I stop. I was about to tell Naruto that I was bringing back the past four Hokage, but one of them was Minato, Naruto's father. How would Naruto feel about me resurrecting his father?
"Naruto-kun, I want to bring back the past Hokage." I answer him, feeling nervous about his reaction.
Itachi nods his head, agreeing with me. "That would be best." He could see the logic, bringing back our strongest Ninja in history would give us an advantage.
I look to Naruto, gauging his reaction.
However, Naruto seemed calm about it.
"Naruto-kun, do you mind me bringing back your dad?" I ask him, a worried expression on my face.
Naruto seemed to think for a moment before answering. "Akemi-chan, I want you to bring them back." Naruto says, sending me a soft smile.
Now, with Naruto's permission, I got on with the summoning.
Setting up the summoning for the Hokage's wasn't easy. I had to follow the scroll to summoning the Shinigami precisely. Tsunade and Jiraiya had told me that Hiruzen had used the Shinigami seal on Orochimaru to take his arms, as revenge for taunting him about his dead child. The Shinigami seal had also been used on the First and Second Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage was already in the Shinigami's stomach. Without summoning them in this precise way, I wouldn't have access to them.
"And how do you plan to do this exactly?" Fugaku asks, a sneer in his face.
"Shut up; your voice annoys me." I say back, not even looking at Fugaku as I concentrated on the task at hand.
Naruto sniggers, watching Fugaku's face contorts into rage. Naruto nudges Sasuke next to him and leans over. "Akemi-chan really doesn't like your dad, does she?" He whispers lowly so no one could overhear him.
Sasuke nods his head, a small grin on his face. "She really doesn't." He couldn't stand up to his father, even after all these years. There was still a part of Sasuke that wanted his father to be proud of him. But there was another part of him that was angry because of how much Fugaku had ignored him as a child.
Mikoto peaks over my shoulder. "Would you like any help dear?" Mikoto asks me, her curious eyes scanning what I had already done with fascination.
I turn my head and smile at her. "No, it's fine. I've got this covered." I say, now standing up. All the preparation was done for the moment. Now it was time to move onto faze two. Now that I was standing, I brought out a scroll and summoned five White Zetsu from the scroll. They were all unconscious but alive because that's how I needed then. For this Jutsu to work, I needed living sacrifices.
Looking to the guys, I ask. "Guys, can you lay these four White Zetsu over there." I needed them to be in a specific place otherwise this Jutsu wouldn't work and would be a waste of time.
Itachi, Sasuke and Naruto nodded and got to work. Naruto summoned a clone so he could bring the fourth body over where I wanted them. It took them a few minutes before they were finished, and once they were done, they stepped back behind me where it was safe. I could feel Fugaku glaring at me, he didn't like the fact I was ordering his son's about and they weren't protesting, but actually listening to me.
I placed the last White Zetsu up front and placed the Shinigami mask on him. Without this mask, it wouldn't have worked. I'm just glad I got to this mask before Yukiko did. If Yukiko had got this mask before me, she would have been able to bring back all four Hokage.
Taking a deep breathe, I grab the White Zetsu arm's and began making the hand seals, using his hands. Once done, the Shinigami appears behind me and the White Zetsu. Activating my Shīringu, I look up and see the Shinigami, without my Shīringu though, I wouldn't have been able to see it. Usually, only the summoner and person who is about to devoured by the Shinigami can see it. But seeing the Shinigami was terrifying. Only when the Shinigami went to stab himself in the stomach did I move away, and just in time too. As the Shinigami's stomach was cut open, so was the White Zetsu, who cried out in pain. In a flash, four souls appear from the Shinigami's stomach and they flew over to the four bodies were waiting for them. The souls entered the bodies through the chest and that's when the White Zetsu began to struggle as their form was taken over and turned into someone else. It took a few minutes for the White Zetsu to stop screaming, and it didn't take long for the transformation to finish.
In front of us stood four bodies, each one belonging to the Hokage.
The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Hashirama was a tall man with tanned skin and dark eyes. He has waist-length black hair typically styled in a centre-parted fringe that framed his face. He is wearing the standard shinobi dress of his era, consisting of dark red armour worn over a simple black suit with sandals.
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Tobirama is a fair-skinned man with white, shaggy hair and dark-coloured eyes. He has three red markings on his face, one under each of his eyes and one on his chin. He is wearing blue armour with a distinctive white fur collar over a simple black suit.
The third body was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He looked the same as the last time I saw him. He looks old and wrinkly, with dark liver spots on his face. He is wearing a light combat attire, consisting of a black jumpsuit, mesh segments over the lower portions of his limbs, and a green gauntlet that covered much of his right arm.
The last body, belonged to the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. He has bright, blue eyes and spiky blond hair. Minato also has jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. He is wearing a standard Konoha uniform with two bands on both of his sleeves, a green flak jacket, blue forehead protector, and blue sandals. On top of the Konoha uniform he is wearing a short-sleeved long white haori over his normal attire.
All of them looked exactly like they did in the anime, only that the whites of their eyes were black.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see Fugaku staring at Minato. If my memory served me right, Fugaku didn't like Minato and there was a rivalry between the two.
"Why aren't they moving?" Naruto asks, looking at his father intently.
I take out four kunai from my pouch, each one had a tag on them. "Once I insert these in the back of their necks, they should have their consciousness back." I say, walking around the Hokage and insert the kunai in. Once they were implanted, I walk back around and wait. It didn't take long though, within seconds, the whites of their eyes turned from black to grey.
Minato was the first to come back to consciousness since I placed his kunai in first. He groans, his hand coming up to rub his head. "Where am-" He begins, but stops when he sees Naruto and his eyes widen, recognition shinning in his eyes. It wasn't hard to tell that Naruto was Minato's child, they looked exactly alike; the only difference was that Naruto had shorter hair.
Without saying another word, Naruto and Minato walk forward, meeting in the middle. Once they were close enough, they hugged each other fiercely. Naruto's shoulders began to shake, indicating that he was crying. Minato also seemed to be holding back tears, seeing his on after all these years.
Soon, the rest of the Hokage followed suite. Hashirama looks around the room, surveying for any danger, and then his eyes land on me. His eyes widen as he stares, "Sayuri." He mumbles lowly, staring at me intently.
I almost took a step back in shock, but I stopped myself. I knew that Nora said I looked like Sayuri, but I didn't think I'd actually be mistaken for her.
As soon as his brother said Sayuri's name, Tobirama was glaring at me with hatred in his eyes. It made me nervous, wondering what I had done wrong. But I realised it wasn't me he was glaring at, he thought I was Sayuri, and I remember Sayuri telling me that Tobirama didn't like her. Knowing this, his glare didn't shock me or make me nervous.
What made me nervous was the fact Sasuke was glaring at Tobirama, his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Hiruzen is the one to break the tension by chuckling. "I'm afraid Hashirama that she is Akemi Nakahara, not Sayuri." He says, looking at his old friend. He knew that Sayuri was Harshimaru's first and only true love.
Tobirama speaks up. "What are we doing here?" He demands, looking at all of us with a glare. His glare landed on the Uchiha in the room, having a deep seated hatred for them.
Minato stops hugging his son, also wanting to know why he was brought back.
"Another war is happening." Itachi says, his voice calm.
All the Hokage looked to one another. "And this concerns us because?" Tobirama asks, still not letting up his glare on this Uchiha in the room.
"Because Madara is our enemy." I say, bringing the attention to me.
"Impossible." Hashirama says, disbelief in his eyes.
Minato, however keeps his facial expressions neutral. His thoughts went back to the night Naruto was born, and also the day he and his wife had died. His thoughts went back to the masked man that forced the Nine Tails to go on a rampage.
Sasuke steps forward. "Actually it isn't impossible as it seems. The Uchiha have an ability called Izanagi, it can alter events in time by casting a very powerful Genjutsu. Madara used it in the battle between you and him and had it ready to activate for later." He explains to Hashirama, keeping his expression cool and composed.
"Sasuke." Fugaku growls under his breathe. It was bad enough that Sasuke was sharing Uchiha secrets, but he was sharing them to the Senju Clan of all people.
Sasuke makes a point of ignoring his father.
Hashirama takes a moment to react. When he does, he curses loudly.
"So what is Madara after?" Hiruzen asks, looking curious. He was the most open minded, other than Minato, who looks more convinced after Sasuke's explanation. Tobirama, however seemed to still be in denial.
"He's after the Jinchuuriki inside of Naruto and Killer B, with them he can revive the Ten Tails." I say, looking at each Hokage individually. The Ten Tails was a tale from legends, no one truly knew if it existed, but it did unfortunately.
The room went silent, and it became tense suddenly.
Minato breaks the tension however. "Well, then we're just going to have to stop him." He says, conviction in his tone. There was no way anyone was harming his son. Minato knew that when the Tailed Beast was extracted from its vessel, the vessel would die, and he didn't want that for his son. If there was any way that he could prevent it, then he would do it.
I take a step forward. "Hiruzen, there's something you need to know." I say, feeling unsure of how to say this.
Hiruzen sends me a kind look. "What is it?"
"Yukiko betrayed Konoha, she's been on Madara's side for years." I say, biting my lip at the end. I knew how much Hiruzen really loved Yukiko, so I didn't know how he would take this news.
Hiruzen frowns deeply. "That is unfortunate." He was hurt, deeply hurt. He cared for Yukiko deeply, he never would have suspected she would have betrayed the Village.
"So, will you help us?" I ask them.
Tobirama sends me a suspicious look. "You're asking us?" He says, confusion in his tone.
I nod my head. "If you don't want to join the war, then that's your choice." I wasn't like Yukiko, I wasn't going to control their every move. It seemed barbaric to do that, no matter how useful it would be if they joined the war. All the people that are Re-animated mean something to others, I know I'd hate to see a loved one being controlled.
Hashirama sighs deeply. "I'll help, Madara is my enemy so I'll deal with him." Madara had been his very close friend growing up and the co-founder of Konoha. It was because of Madara that he ended up meeting Sayuri, and that was something he'd never regret.
"Of course I'll help." Minato says, looking to his son with a proud look on his face.
Naruto grins widely. "Alright Otou-san!"
Hiruzen and Tobirama both nod their heads. Though Tobirama was more reluctant than anyone else to.
With that agreed, each Hokage set out. Each one was going to help a Division until Madara made his appearance, which I had a feeling would be soon. Hashirama was going to help out Division One, Tobirama with Division Three, Hiruzen helping out with Division Four and Minato would help out with Division Two. However, Minato stayed back while the other Hokage left to fight in the war, he was spending time with his son.
Mikoto walks up to Minato. "It's so great to see you again!" She says, pulling him into a hug.
Minato laughs freely, hugging Mikoto back. He had been friends with Mikoto before he died, mainly because his wife, Kushina was very fond of the Uchiha. Kushina had labelled Mikoto has the only friendly Uchiha.
While they were distracted, Naruto walks up to me. "Akemi-chan, can I ask you a favour?" Naruto asks with an unsure expression on his face.
"Anything Naruto-kun." I say, smiling at him.
Naruto takes in a deep breathe. "Can you… bring back my Okaa-san too?" He asks, still looking really nervous.
My mouth opens a jar, he wanted me to bring back Kushina? Watching Naruto, I see him looking longingly at Sasuke and his family, specifically Mikoto. This made me close my mouth and I felt a pang of sympathy for him. Naruto only wanted his mother. Sure he had seen her when he nearly unleashed Kurama, but having his mother here in the flesh would be different.
I nod my head, smiling at him to reassure him. "Of course Naruto-kun."
Naruto's eyes lit up immediately
Making the necessary hand seals, I summon Kushina's coffin. At the arrival of the coffin, I had everyone's attention. Grabbing another scroll, I brought out another White Zetsu as the sacrifice to bring back Kushina. Briefly opening the coffin, I throw the unconscious White Zetsu in and close it. I make the hand seals and hear the scream of the White Zetsu until it went quiet. When the transformation was complete, I banished the coffin, leaving Kushina in its place.
Seeing his wife, Minato's eyes widen.
I look to Naruto and hand him the kunai with the tag on it. "Want to do the honours?" I ask him, holding the kunai out.
Naruto grins and takes the kunai, jogging over to his mother. Excitement clear as day in his eyes, he couldn't wait to talk to his mother.
"Remember, place it in the back of the neck." I remind hm.
Minato walks over to me. "Why are you bringing back Kushina?" He asks, a curious expression on his face.
I fight off a grin. Minato was checking if I had any ill-intentions for his wife by bringing her back. I couldn't help but find it sweet. I look back to Naruto, a smile spreading on my face. "Because Naruto-kun asked me to." I say simply.
Minato watches his son too. He could also see his son's excitement and it reminded him so much of Kushina.
Naruto places the kunai in the back of his mother's neck, and soon the whites of her eyes were no longer a black colour, but now a grey colour.
Kushina blinks a few times and looks around, until her eyes land on Naruto. Her eyes widen and tears form in her eyes. "Oh, Naruto, my baby boy." She whispers, hugging her room fiercely. Naruto hugs her back immediately, not wanting to let go.
I look up and see Minato watching the scene, a soft and loving expression on his face, but he didn't make a move to join in.
I nudge Minato, "Go join your family." I say, grinning widely.
This brings Minato out of his shocked stupor, he grins at me before joining his family. He walks over to them and hugs both Naruto and Kushina. Kushina looks up and sees her husband, and her eye lit up just like Naruto's had moments before.
Sasuke walks to me. "They look happy." He says, a gentle look in his eyes. He and Naruto both knew the pain of growing up without their parents, and now to have them back was the best feeling in the world. Even if it was only temporary.
"They deserve this." I say, a soft smile on my own face.
Kushina looks up and also sees her best friend. "Mikoto!" Kushina yells in excitement. Nearly everyone was here that she cared about was here.
Mikoto grins and runs over to her best friend, both hugging each other, forgetting that Naruto was stuck in-between the two and was currently being crushed.
Naruto's face began turning blue due to the lack of oxygen. That's when Minato pulled Naruto out of the two woman's embrace, laughing nervously that his wife nearly killed their son within minutes of meeting each other.
I held a hand over my mouth, trying to stop myself from laughing.
Kushina looks around, noticing that one person she cared about wasn't there. "Where's, Yukiko-chan?" She asks, looking around.
The air became tense immediately.
No one knew how to answer Kushina.
Even Minato looked stuck on how to tell his wife.
I remembered Hiruzen telling me that Kushina and Yukiko were close, but at the time that didn't seem too important. I didn't imagine that Kushina would be back, or that Yukiko would have betrayed us and it was only now I was realising the severity of the situation.
"Okaa-san… Yukiko betrayed Konoha." Naruto answers, a frown on his face.
Kushina frowns, losing the twinkle in her eyes. "What?"
"It's true, she's been on Madara Uchiha's side for years." I say, speaking up.
Kushina's eyes land on me. "Who are you, Dattebayo?" Her tone wasn't stern or scary, but rather curious.
"I was Yukiko's student." I answer in a solemn voice. Being the student of a traitor wasn't the best thing to be. When the news come out originally, I was scrutinised by others rather harshly, they were all wondering if I had known about it or I would follow in her footsteps. The worst of them being the Elders.
Kushina looks confused.
Minato steps next to his wife, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Dear, there's been another war, Yukiko is on the opposite side. She plans with Madara to steal the Nine Tails from our son." He explains to her in the softest voice I've heard.
Kushina's eyes widen and she looks to her son. Then anger clouds her eyes, "Not on my watch, Dattebayo! She's not touching my son!" She shouts, her hair lifting from the floor, making it look like Kurama's tails.
Looking to Naruto, I could see he was near tears. He had been told how much his parents cared for him, but seeing it in person was another experience altogether. He felt loved and protected, something he didn't feel as a child.
Reaching over, I take Naruto's hand in mine.
Immediately, Kushina's eyes look over to me and Naruto and me holding hands. Her eyes lit up and a devious grin appears on her face. Kushina nudges Minato and points over, who also has a devious grin on his face. Kushina sends Minato over to talk with Naruto and Sasuke.
Kushina walks up to me, a grin on her face.
Seeing Kushina standing next to me, I stare at her with a curious expression.
"So, you and Naruto seem close." Kushina says in an airy tone, but with a calculating look in her eyes.
I blink slowly for a moment before laughing. "It's not what you think, Naruto-kun is like my brother." I say in-between laughing. It was bad enough that I had Mikoto on my case, but now I've got Kushina on my case too.
Kushina frowns and then pouts, like a child who just got their toy take from them.
"However, there is a girl that is very interesting in Naruto-kun." I say, my own devious smile appearing on my face.
Kushina's eyes lit up instantly. "Who?! Tell me Dattebayo!" She grabs my shoulders with a strong grip, shaking me lightly.
While I was laughing, Kushina stop shaking me so I could answer her. I lean in and whisper in her ear. "Hinata Hyuuga, the Hyuuga heiress." I whispered this in case Naruto was listening in. If Hinata ever learned that I blurted out her crush to her crush's face, she'd kill me. Hinata was scary when angered.
Her eyes widen, surprise evident on her face. She had never met a Hyuuga who didn't seem to have the personality of a robot, but maybe this Hyuuga was different. Kushina places a hand over her mouth to stop herself from squealing. "Does he like her?" Kushina asks, excitement in her tone.
"He does, but he's a bit dense. Trying to get them together has been tedious." I answer with a sigh in my tone but there was still a grin on my face. I'd been giving hints to Hinata for years, pushing her towards Naruto and also feeding Naruto things too, which he was slow to pick up on in the beginning.
Kushina's eyes twinkle, she looks up. "Minato, I like her!" She yells out to her husband, also pointing at me.
I blush lightly when I feel everyone in the area look at me.
Minato laughs loudly, while Kushina looks proud of herself.
Besides me, Naruto was another one that was embarrassed. "Okaa-san!" Naruto whines like child.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Just as the sun was rising for the second day of war, Yukiko had summoned her Re-animated army and began her assault on the Allied Forces once again. There was a grin on Yukiko's face. Today was the day that Yukiko would finally deal with Akemi once and for all and Yukiko could finally get her revenge.
Just as Yukiko was about to leave her cave, she was stopped. "And where do you think you're going?" Obito asks, appearing in front of Yukiko.
Yukiko sneers when she sees him. "That is none of your business."
"Madara thinks otherwise." Obito interjects, smirking behind his mask.
Glaring at him, Yukiko sneers. "Don't you dare bring Madara into this."
"Where are you going?" Obito asks again, still smirking at how he was able to rile up Yukiko so easily. All he had to do was mention Madara and she would start hissing like the snake she is. Usually, Obito wouldn't interact with Yukiko at all, but Madara had ordered him to watch Yukiko and make sure she didn't cause any harm to Akemi.
Yukiko smirks, becoming confident. "I'm going to put an end to Akemi, once and for all." She proudly announces with no regret in her tone.
"I'm afraid you can't do that." Obito says in a plain voice.
The smirk remains on Yukiko's face. "Oh, I don't think you'll be stopping me any time soon." She says, waving her arm forward.
A figure emerges from the shadows, making Obito freeze where he was.
In front of Obito was Rin Nohara, his old teammate and crush. She looked the exact same as when she died. She has straight brown hair, which was cut in a chin-length bob that framed her face, and brown eyes. She also has a rectangular purple marking on either sides of her cheeks. She is wearing a long-sleeved black top and a light purple apron-skirt, under which she wore black shorts. The only difference was that the whites of Rin's eyes were black.
"Do anything I don't like and I'll make sure she suffers." Yukiko threatens, a victorious expression on her face. Rin may already be dead, but Yukiko could torture her. Yukiko could give Rin back her consciousness and make her suffer. She could even kill Rin constantly, making her die and come back to life while also torturing her. The possibilities were endless and it made Yukiko happy at the thought.
Obito could do nothing but glare at Yukiko with hatred.
Yukiko saunters past him with Rin following close behind her.
Obito clenches his fists, he would make Yukiko pay for what she did. It bad enough desecrating Rin's grave, but she was also flaunting Rin around and using her as a bargaining chip. Yukiko would pay, that much Obito was certain about.
NARUTO SHIPPDUEN
Kushina had decided to leave me alone and went over to Naruto, Minato and Sasuke. Mikoto and Fugaku seemed to be talking to each other too, and that left Itachi on his own. Since he was alone, I felt like this was the time to talk to him.
Walking over to him, Itachi looked to me. "Itachi, there's something I need to ask you." I say, getting straight to the point.
Itachi tilts his head slightly. "What is it?"
I take in a deep breath before speaking. "I found Shisui's body."
Itachi's eyes widen and he seems to freeze where he was. "How?" He asks in a breathless voice. He had searched tirelessly for Shisui's body for years and came up with nothing.
When Shisui committed suicide, he had made sure that no one could find him, erasing his existence completely. That's why Kabuto couldn't Re-animate him in the anime. Shisui's was the last body that I found, and it had been the hardest to find. Shisui had placed himself at the bottom on the ocean near Konoha; he was submerged deep beneath and it took all of Enma's children to find him. His body had been so badly decomposed that no one would have been able to tell that it was Shisui Uchiha, or known as Shisui of the Body Flicker. The only sign that gave it away was the Uchiha symbol on the back of his shirt and that he had no eyes. No one would go that far of length to make sure they couldn't be identified except Shisui because he knew that Danzo had been after his left eye.
I grin at him weakly. "It wasn't easy."
"Why are you telling me this?" Itachi asks, his voice stern.
"With your permission, I'd like to bring him back." I tell Itachi, feeling fearful of his answer. I knew full well how close Itachi and Shisui where. Shisui was practically Itachi's older brother, and it had been devastating for Itachi when Shisui killed himself.
Itachi studies me for a moment, his eyes hardened. I stare back into his eyes, I would only back down if Itachi said no.
Sighing deeply, Itachi nods his head. "Fine."
I let out a breath, feeling my body relax as the tension left my body.
I nod my head and take out the scroll containing the White Zetsu. Summoning the White Zetsu, I left it on the ground as I summoned Shisui's grave which I had put it in. He didn't deserve to have the watery grave that he did. I grab the White Zetsu and throw him into the coffin, like I had done when I Re-animated Kushina. The White Zetsu screamed, trying to get free, but it was too late. Soon the screaming stopped and that's when I banished Shisui's coffin.
In front of Itachi and I stood Shisui. Shisui has short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair, relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes that were turns upwards at each end. He is wearing the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He is also wearing what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. However, Shisui had no eyes, Danzo had taken his right one before his death and Itachi still had his left eye in his crow. This couldn't be seen though, as his eyes were shut.
I take out a kunai with a tag on it. "Do you want to do the honors?" I ask him, holding out the kunai like I had done with Naruto.
Itachi takes the kunai and walks around Shisui. He places the kunai into Shisui's neck and steps away.
Shisui groans and tries opening his eyes, just showing two eye sockets. That would have made me sick if I hadn't already seen some gruesome sights since living here and working in the hospital.
"Where am I?" Shisui demands, listening in for any sound since he couldn't see.
"Shisui." Itachi says.
Shisui straightens up. "Itachi…?" He says, but he seemed uncertain.
Itachi smiles, but it was only small. Itachi summons his crow, and takes out the eyes, then he walks over to Shisui and places his left eye back into Shisui.
Now that Shisui had his left eye, he opened it, keeping his right own closed. His one eye stares at Itachi, he almost seemed to be trying to determine if this was the same Itachi he knew as a kid. Shisui had died when he was sixteen while Itachi was twenty-three now.
"How is this possible?" Shisui asks, confusion written on his face.
"It's the Re-animation Jutsu." Itachi explains briefly to his old friend, not wanting to overwhelm him.
Shisui's eye lands on me, and his gaze darkens considerably. "You brought me back."
I nod my head, not really surprised. Shisui was always known for being perceptive, he was a prodigy himself and even helped Itachi train. I also had no doubt in my mind that Shisui could sense the link between me and him. When someone is Re-animated, they can feel their summoner's chakra signature, this is so they recognise who brought them back and so they also know how to find them.
"Are you working for Danzo?" Shisui demands, glaring at me with his one eye.
I smile slightly, finding the accusation quite funny, even Itachi found it amusing, he had a small grin on his face that was barely noticeable.
"No, I would never work for that horrible monster." I answer him, a sneer in my tone. Like hell I would ever work for Danzo. I'd rather stick a kunai in his back than ever work for him.
Shisui studies me for a moment, deciding whether or not he believed me.
"Shisui, Danzo is dead." Itachi says.
Shock appears on Shisui's face, and an almost hopeful expression but he seemed cautious at the same time. "How?" He asks.
Itachi looks to me before answering his friend. "Evidence of his crimes were brought to light and he was tried. Not even the Elders could protect him after learning what he had done."
I smile at the thought. That day had been the best day ever, seeing his crimes catch up with him and getting to see it too. We had all been prepared in case Danzo used Izanagi and reversed what was done so he could escape. Chakra draining cuffs had been placed on him, and we made sure that they were the more powerful ones so it left him with barley any chakra, so there was no way he could use it. Itachi had been the one to suggest it as there was no other known method to stop Izanagi besides Izanami.
Shisui grins and he relaxes noticeably. "Oh thank god, someone brought him down. But that doesn't explain why I'm here?" He says, still looking slightly confused.
"Let's just say a lot has happened since you died." I say, a slightly amused expression on my face. I wonder how he was going to react with all this information.
Shisui's eye strayed, looking around the room. He then sees Mikoto and Fugaku and also sees that they are in the same condition as him. "This is going to be a long story isn't it?" He asks, looking slightly exasperated.
Itachi grins. "You have no idea."
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Now with Shisui Re-animated, all the Uchihas were moving back to Division Two to fight against the other Uchihas. It was decided that Itachi, Sasuke, Fugaku, Shisui and Mikoto would know best on how to fight an Uchiha because they are Uchihas themselves. They would also know their own Clansmen's attacks and would be more prepared than Division Two, who was being badly beaten by this Uchiha Clan. Naruto, Minato and Kushina were both going to join in with the battle with the Uchiha Clan. Once they were defeated, they would move on and go and help the other Divisions.
I had asked to be left alone for a moment while I summon another person. Just as I was about to summon Kimimaro, I was stopped when I felt another presence near me.
"Hashirama?" I call out, feeling his chakra.
Hashirama steps out from the shadows, his arms crossed and expression stern.
"Where you there the whole time?" I ask him, my brows furrowing together.
The First Hokage shakes his head. "No, I've only just arrived, but I've been speaking to Hiruzen. But I would like to talk with you." He says, his face still stern.
"Okay, what do you need?" I ask, but I already had a feeling about what he wanted to speak about.
"Do you know the truth about Sayuri?" Hashirama asks suddenly.
However, I wasn't surprised. I had a feeling that he may have wanted to speak with me about her, I resembled her and no doubt the Third Hokage has told him some things about me. Though I don't know what Hiruzen has said exactly.
"Do you?" I counter back, arching a brow at him.
Hashirama and I stare at each other for a few moments. However, he broke the stare when he grins and laughs. "You kind of act like her too." He says, amusement in his eyes.
"I do know about Sayuri though, about her not being born in this-" I stop talking when Hashirama appears in front of me and places a hand over my mouth. I took this as my cue to stop speaking.
Hashirama looks around before sighing and taking away his hand from my mouth. "I'm sorry, but I didn't want any risk of people knowing the truth about Sayuri." He explains, an apologetic look on his face.
"So you know too?" I ask.
Hashirama nods his head. "I do, she confided in me many times."
Then there was silence. It made me feel awkward and made me sift uncomfortably.
"How did you two meet?" I ask him, feeling very curious, breaking the silence. Sayuri hadn't mentioned this, and I really wanted to know.
A smile appears on his face as he remembers. "Madara had always mentioned that he a younger sister, but he never let me meet her. He was very protective of her, which only got worse when his last brother died."
I nod my head slowly. Tobirama had killed Izuna and that was the catalyst that caused Madara to seek vengeance. It was no wonder that he became even more protective of Sayuri after Izuna's death; Madara had already lost his other three brothers in the war. But that didn't excuse what he was doing now.
"It was before Konoha had been built, a while before. I had heard about some Senju leaving because they didn't want to join in with the war. They had heard about a 'safe zone' where Uchiha and Senju could live in peace. I followed them, wanting to make sure that the place was safe, and that's how I met her." Hashirama explains, a soft expression on his face. It was filled with admiration and love, but also pain.
I smile, "What drew you to Sayuri?" I ask. There was something about Sayuri and Hashirama's story that made me feel curious, I guess it would be my inner hopeless romantic that didn't see the light of say often.
Hashirama laughs, "She originally thought I was an enemy and attacked me. To say I was shocked to be knocked to my ass was an understatement. But it was her fierceness and her stubbornness that attracted me to her, along with her aim for unity between the Clans."
I tilt my head and ask. "Hashirama, you love Sayuri, don't you?"
Immediately, Hashirama nods his head. "Yes, I do with all my heart." He says, an honest look on his face.
"Then why did you marry Mito Uzumaki?" I ask, she was his wife in the anime. But this was different, because Sayuri hadn't been in the anime so I don't know how accurate that was anymore. However, Tsunade had mentioned that Mito Uzumaki was her grandmother, so that made me curious to know where Sayuri fit in to all of this.
Hashirama sighs deeply. "It was for political reasons. Before Sayuri died, I refused all arranged marriages because I could never betray Sayuri. However, after she died, I had no choice. I didn't want to move on because I still loved her deeply."
I smile slightly, even after her death, he was still devoted to her.
Hashirama looks at me. "You remind me of her, and that's why I'm here to give you a warning." He says, his tone becoming serious and no longer light hearted as it was before.
I tense up, when the First Hokage of Konoha gives you a warning, you'd better listen.
"Madara tried to use Sayuri's power; her Tenshi no Chakra for his own personal gain. I believe that he will do the same to you." Hashirama warns in a grave tone.
I shiver at the thought. If he didn't care about taking the power from his own sister, then he certainly wouldn't care about taking it from me. "He tried to take her power, didn't he?" I ask, fearful for the response I was going to get.
Hashirama nods his head. "Yes, if I wasn't there to stop him, he would have killed her."
I always knew that Madara was evil and would do anything to make sure things went according to plan, but nearly killing your own sister, that was another level. Madara was in a level of his own.
"Make sure he doesn't get you. I fear what will happen if he does obtain the Tenshi no Chakra." Hashirama warns.
I nod my head. "I won't let him get me."
Hashirama shakes his head. "Don't just look out for yourself."
My brows furrow together in confusion. "What do you mean?" I ask, was Madara going to target others too?
"Madara won't go after you directly at first. He'll attack the people you love and care for, he'll try and manipulate you. If he isn't stopped, he could kill everyone you've ever cared about." Hashirama warns me, a sorrowful expression on his face.
My eyes widen at the realisation. "The battle at the Valley of the End, that's why you two fought. He tried to kill you because you were precious to Sayuri."
Hashirama nods his head, a solemn look reflecting in his eyes. "That is why I've offered my services. I refuse to let anyone be a victim to Madara again."
"Thank you." I say to him.
Hashirama grins, "Before I depart, I must ask about Konoha. Who is the current Hokage?" He asks, curiosity on his face.
I grin slightly. "Tsunade, your granddaughter."
Suddenly, his curious expression went to a sorrowful and dark look and his head bowed in defeat. "Have mercy on Konoha." He whispers, thinking back. Tsunade had picked up his gambling habit and was just as bad as a loser as he was. He prayed that the money Konoha wasn't being used up by Tsunade's gambling
"She hasn't gambled since she became Hokage, though I can't say the same for her drinking." I say, but mumble the last part.
Hashirama perks up, "Thank you." He says, bowing slightly before jumping away to join in with the war.
Now that I was alone, I opened a scroll and take out yet another White Zetsu. Laying him on the ground, I open yet another scroll and summoned a coffin from the ground. Grabbing the White Zetsu, I throw open the coffin and throw my sacrifice in, closing the coffin door. I make the familiar hand seals which I have grown accustomed too and hear the familiar cries from the White Zetsu. Once the noise had stopped, I banished the coffin and look at the person on front of me.
In front of me stood Kimimaro, he looked exactly like he did when I last saw him. I take out another kunai with a tag on it and walk around him, placing the kunai at the base of his head.
Within seconds, the whites of Kimimaro's eyes turned from black to grey, and he blinks, looking around.
I smile sadly when he looks at me.
"Akemi?" Kimimaro says, confusion on his face.
"Hello again, Kimimaro." I say, feeling tears gather in my eyes. The last time I saw him, Kimimaro died protecting me from the Sound Four and I couldn't save him. Seeing him again brought back those memories. But at the same time, I was happy to see him so I could talk to him again.
"Are you dead too?" Kimimaro asks, looking at me curiously.
I shake my head. "No, I'm not." I say, my voice almost a whisper.
Kimimaro tilts his head when he see my tears fall down my face. "You're crying." He says in a plain tone.
I laugh lightly. "They're happy tears really." I say, wiping them away.
"How long has it been since I've died?" He asks.
"Three and a half years." I answer him. I almost couldn't believe that it had been that long since his passing.
Kimimaro looks around when he hears noise. I look too, it was in the distance but could be heard from here. The war was continuing, the Uchiha Clan was back.
"Please, help us fight this war." I ask him.
Kimimaro grins slightly, it was barely noticeable. "Who am I to deny a request from someone who helped free me?"
I return the grin, mine being bigger than his. "Then let's get to work." I say, before running back to the battlefield, with Kimimaro by my side.
