Madara Strikes
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!
Hey guys! After reading a review from a guest, I just want to say this. Yes, this story is going to end soon, I don't know how many chapters are left to write so I'm not even going to estimate. However, it isn't truly the end for Akemi. I had planned to announce this in the last chapter of The Retelling of Naruto Shippuden, but now is as good as any time. I plan to do the Naruto movies too, with Akemi in them after I've finished this main story. If you would like the idea, review or PM me to let me know your opinion.
On with the story!
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
To say that Haku was having fun was an understatement. Now armed with Zabuza's sword, he was demolishing the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Haku now understood Zabuza's obsession with the sword now. Haku used to get jealous when he was younger of how much attention Zabuza would pay the sword instead of training him. Having sealed away four Swordsmen, that only left two more. The Sealing Squad was rushed off their feet, it took them a lot of chakra to seal away such powerful people. The fact that more than half to them had been sealed away meant that they were exhausted.
Actually, the whole of Division Three was exhausted. Jiraiya, Kakashi and himself seemed to be the only ones still full of energy, and Jiraiya really seemed to be enjoying himself. The fight also seemed to really be in their favour when Tobirama – the Second Hokage, appeared on the battle scene, annihilating all that stood in his path. With his help, Tobirama had helped to seal away the other two Swordsmen, but it only brought more enemies; more undead Ninja and more White Zetsu. Although, the cavalry had arrived when Naruto Clones appeared on the stage and were currently helping to get rid of the White Zetsu. It was also amusing seeing trees appear from the dead corpses, but Haku didn't pay much attention to that. Seeing the Naruto Clones made Haku relieved; Naruto was okay. But his thoughts did go to his Imouto. Was she okay?
The sun was just coming up to mid-day now, not that Haku noticed the time go by. However, it was when two shadows passed over the high sun did Haku stop where he was. Haku sliced another White Zetsu in half, and looks up for the two shadows, but then disappear into the dense trees of the forest nearby.
Haku blinks slowly, wondering what that was. But he soon shook his head and went back to fighting against the White Zetsu, which were more of a nuisance than anything. They weren't that powerful, but it still required some chakra to kill it. Just then, ten puppets appeared into the scene, killing White Zetsu and fighting the undead Ninja with practice ease. It wasn't just puppets though, it also looked like paper birds flying down with explosive tags attached to them.
Haku stops again and looks to Kankuro; the only puppeteer in the Division, but he looked just as shocked to see more puppets that weren't his. This made Haku suspicious, and he then looks for the chakra strings controlling the puppets.
"Haku, dodge!" Haku hears someone yell at him.
Haku's head whips towards the noise and sees a White Zetsu really close to attacking him. Just as Haku was about to swing the sword, a paper bird dived for the White Zetsu, killing it instantly.
Staring at the paper birds, something clicks in Haku. He only knew one person who used paper as their main weapon. "Konan…" Haku mumbles to himself.
His gaze immediately goes back to the forest not too far away from him, and he makes a dash for it. Dodging and manoeuvring himself so he didn't get hit by the White Zetsu or any of the undead Ninja. Once in the forest, he looks around and feels a familiar chakra.
"I know you're there." Haku projects his voice, looking around with skilful eyes.
For a moment, nothing happened. But then two shadows appear in front of Haku, one who he recognised very well. In front of him, stood Konan and Sasori. They both looked physically well and didn't seem to be under the Re-animation Jutsu. Sasori was holding his hands up, chakra strings being shown.
Sasori was the first to speak. "So, you're Akemi's older brother." He says, glancing at Haku up and down.
Haku bristled at the mention of his Imouto.
"Akemi was the one who sent us." Konan says, being the voice of reason here. Her face seemed impassive, but her voice held honesty in it.
Haku relaxes slightly, believing them. It would seem that the two Ex-Akatsuki members were on the Allies side. Haku probably wouldn't have believed this, if he hadn't already seen Sasori's puppets and Konan's paper birds helping them.
"How is she?" Haku asks, his gaze immediately becoming concerned.
Sasori and Konan glance at one another. Akemi had told them not to tell Haku about her fight with Yukiko. She explained that Haku would become worried and didn't want him to be become distracted.
"Tired, but well." Konan answers after a few moments. It wasn't like she was lying, Akemi was alive and she was tired after fighting Yukiko.
Haku knew that they were hiding something, but took it nonetheless. "What's her plan?" Haku asks, a knowing look in his eyes. He knew that his Imouto wouldn't send two Ex-Akatsuki members without a plan in mind.
Sasori grins, Akemi had told them that Haku was perceptive and Sasori wasn't disappointed. "We are to stay hidden, no one can see us. If they did, they would come suspicious on why we are here." Sasori explains, carefully examining the area for any spies.
Haku nods his head, agreeing with the Puppet Master.
"No one can know who sent us here either." Konan states, looking at Haku seriously.
"Then why make your presence known to me?" Haku challenges, arching an eyebrow at them. If that much was true, they would have stayed hidden, and now Haku knows of their presence. If they hadn't of come out of their hiding place, Haku would have went back into the battlefield and thought nothing more of it.
"She said we could trust you." Sasori states with a blank expression on his face.
For a moment, Haku doesn't react, but then Haku slowly grins, "Then we best to get to work." He says, turning around to join back in with the war.
Sasori and Konan go back into their hiding placing, also helping to immobilise the undead Ninja and kill the White Zetsu.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Back with Division Two, they were having a well-deserved break. The medics were no longer rushed off their feet and were slowly coming together and being even more organised now that the flow of injured people coming to them was slowing down. As promised, Minato went off to help other Divisions, while Kushina stayed behind with their child. Itachi and Shisui were catching up, talking about all the things that had happened since his death. Fugaku, Minato and Kushina all seemed to be chatting, but Fugaku mainly stayed silent, watching everything going on around him. Naruto and Sasuke were sat together also, not too far away from his old brother and cousin.
As Naruto and Sasuke were sitting together, Naruto felt pain. The Uzumaki winces, and bites the inside of his cheek, hiding his pain. He didn't know why he was in pain at this point but all he could think about is Akemi. The pain in his abdomen only increased until it disappeared altogether, like it had never been there. Naruto looks down to where the Seal was on his stomach, Kurama was upset for some reason and Naruto didn't know why.
Sasuke seemed to notice Naruto's pain. "What's wrong?" He asks, staring at the Uzumaki with a curious look.
However, Naruto was just as confused. "I don't know, but I felt some pain."
Sasuke frowns, "Maybe you should get Akemi to look at it."
Naruto stills where he sits. He had been hoping that Sasuke wouldn't notice her disappearance.
Sasuke takes this chance and looks around, "Where is Akemi?" Now that he had the chance to relax, he had noticed that the Shīringu user wasn't among them.
Naruto forces himself to relax while he feigns confusion and begins to look around. "I don't know, maybe she's in the medic tent." He says, thinking of something quick.
Before leaving, Akemi had asked him not to say anything about her going to fight Yukiko. She had known that it would only set Sasuke off, and Naruto couldn't agree more. But Naruto couldn't help but feel smug. He had been the one to make Akemi realise her feelings for the younger Uchiha. Naruto had been surprised that Akemi hadn't noticed her feelings for him before, or that Sasuke returned her feelings. Now looking back on the situation, Naruto could see the signs, Sasuke was always more protective of Akemi and he put so much trust into her. Naruto was surprised how oblivious she was, Akemi was really smart but when it came to her own emotions, it was a completely different thing. It was no wonder that Akemi had never noticed her admirers back in the Academy.
Sasuke frowns and stares at Naruto, a scrutinising look on his face.
Naruto began to sweat nervously, why he couldn't be a better liar, god dammit!
"Where is she?" Sasuke asks again, his voice stern and a slight growl in his throat. Sasuke knew that Naruto knew something, but wasn't saying anything. It was the way Naruto's eyes would dart to a certain area of the woods, and the fact Naruto couldn't look him in the eye. When Naruto couldn't look you in the eye, it usually meant he's done something stupid and dangerous or he he's lying.
Naruto still avoided his gaze, knowing that if he did he would give in.
Just then, a Yamanaka speaks up. "Just in from the Kages, Yukiko is now dead!"
There was a cheering around the area, one of Madara's higher ups was dead. It was a victory to them.
But it wasn't for Naruto, sweat forming around his forehead. He was cursing the Yamanaka to high heavens. His sweating only got worse when Sasuke's glare hardened and he felt the gazes of others on him too.
Itachi looks around the area and doesn't see Akemi. "She went to fight Yukiko, didn't she?" Itachi asks, an expecting look on his face.
Not able to keep it in any longer, Naruto nods his head.
Before Sasuke could say anything, there was a rustling in the bushes and a familiar chakra signature made itself know. Out from the forest stepped out Akemi, who indeed did look like a mess. Her hair was messy, scratches all over her body, heavy bruising on her neck and a gash on her calf.
"Oh thank god." Naruto mumbles to himself when he sees Akemi.
Akemi grins when she sees everyone. "Sup." She says, giving a mock salute.
"Good to see you're not dead!" Shisui shouts out, a cheeky grin on his face.
Itachi rolls his eyes playfully. "Of course." With that, Itachi turns back to Shisui and begins talking to him once again.
Akemi walks forward, and Mikoto greets her with a hug. Akemi hugs her back, happy to hug someone. Akemi had never been much of a hugger back in her old world, but now she really enjoys them.
Mikoto pulls away after a few moments and frowns slightly. "Something's different." Mikoto mumbles lowly. She stands at arms-length from Akemi and looks at her, studying her. She was trying to find what was so different about her.
Akemi grins slightly, "Let's just say I've come to a realisation." She says, glancing at Sasuke quickly before back to Mikoto. Akemi was fighting against the blush on her face and wasn't winning.
However, it would seem Mikoto caught this exchange, a grin forming on her face. But that grin soon turns into a frown and her eyes becoming serious.
"What's wrong?" Akemi asks, feeling a little alarmed at her sudden mood change.
"Akemi, just remember this," Mikoto says, her tone serious and tight. "With this knew realisation, there is more to lose. Protect that feeling with everything you have and let no one that you don't trust know."
Staring at Mikoto for a few seconds, Akemi nods her head. "I won't." She says, with just as much seriousness in her voice as Mikoto. Akemi knew full well that she couldn't let Madara know of her feelings for Sasuke, he would only use him against her.
Nodding her head, Mikoto's facial expressions become light again, and she heads back to sit with Kushina and Fugaku.
Naruto was the next to greet Akemi. "I knew you could do it." Naruto says as he hugs Akemi close to him.
Akemi laughs while she hugs him back, "As if I would let her get the best of me." She kept quiet on what really happened though. If she told Naruto that Obito had actually saved her from dying, the reaction wouldn't be pretty. It was only because Yukiko got that cheap shot in at the last minute that she even needed Obito's help.
It was at that moment that Hinata walks out of the Medic Tent, not too far from where they were all sitting.
Naruto's eyes lit up when he sees the Hyuuga Heiress.
Kushina immediately notices her son's reaction to the Hyuuga appearing and looks to Akemi. Is that her?
Somehow, Akemi seemed to understand what her eyes were asking her and Akemi nods her head. Yes.
A grin appears on Kushina's face, and soon it turns mischievous.
Seeing the grin, Akemi immediately began to pity Hinata.
"Hinata-chan, you're okay." Naruto says, a large grin on his face.
Akemi was also happy to see her well, glad that her fever had went down. Akemi knew that Hinata wouldn't be happy if she ended up missing most of the war due to a fever.
Hinata smiles when she sees them. "It's good to be back." She didn't want to miss anymore of the war than she already had. The medics had told her that she needed more time to heal, but she refused to be left out.
Sighing in relief, Naruto leads Hinata to sit down near him and Sasuke. It was in that moment that Akemi saw Kushina get up from her seat and sat next to Naruto and Hinata. Akemi was about to follow, but that's when Akemi saw Naruto, he looked panicked and was giving signals. Akemi follows them and sees Sasuke was staring at her, an annoyed expression on his face.
Exhaling roughly, Akemi says. "Let's get this over with." She knew Sasuke was going to be pissed, she had promised him that he could be there.
Sasuke stands up and marches over to Akemi. "You promised I would be there." He hisses in a low tone.
Akemi rolls her eyes at him. "I said what you wanted to hear."
"Why did you lie than?" Sasuke questions, fire in his eyes.
"I didn't want you to get hurt." Akemi answers back, fire in her own eyes. She wasn't giving in anytime soon. Her, Naruto and Sasuke were known as the most stubborn team in Konoha; it was a title that they all held quite proudly. Even Kakashi had been proud of that title.
Sasuke narrow his eyes at her. "Do you think I'm weak?"
Akemi shakes her head. "No, you're one of the strongest people I know. I know you can handle yourself perfectly fine. I just don't want to see someone who I care about so much get hurt or worse killed; do you know what I mean?" Akemi asks, her gaze softening as she spoke.
Sasuke demeanour changes instantly, he was no longer tense and his gaze softened. "I know what it's like to see someone I care about deeply get hurt." He mumbles softly, gazing at Akemi.
Akemi's eyes widen, she looks up to Sasuke – seeing that he was a good head taller than her – and feels her face become hot.
Sasuke clears his throat, determination in his eyes. "Akemi, I-"
"Madara's appeared on the battlefield with Division Four!" Yells a member of the Yamanaka Clan to Division Two.
Akemi's head snaps in the direction of the call, along with everyone else. There was a silence among everyone. Madara had actually entered the battlefield; Madara Uchiha. Akemi couldn't help but feel a sense of panic; he was early. Akemi couldn't help but wonder if it was because she had just killed Yukiko had he pushed his plans along, or was it because Hashirama was back too.
Due to the deadly silence, everyone heard Sasuke curse.
NARUTO SHIIPPUDEN
Back in Konoha, Tsunade and the Raikage where sat around the desk. Tsunade had received Akemi's message that she had killed Yukiko. She and the Raikage both agreed that this news would raise the morale of the troops, and it had worked.
Tsunade looks to the Yamanaka, "What seems to be happening?" Tsunade asks, authority in her tone of voice.
Inoichi replies, "With the arrival of the Four Hokage's, all seem to be well. Division One is still heavily engaged in battle, along with Division Three, Four and Five. Division Two, however is calm." All Divisions were currently fighting the remaining White Zetsu. However, Division One still had to seal with Dan – Tsunade ex-fiancé, Hizashi – Hiashi's twin brother and many other undead Ninja. Division Three was now fighting other undead Shinobi; none of them in particular he could identify besides Chiyo. It was Division Four that was fighting the hardest battle of them all. They were fighting the Second Mizukage, Third Raikage, Fourth Kazekage and the Second Tsuchikage. However, things seemed to be going well for Division Four, the only enemy left was the Second Tsuchikage, the others had been sealed away. Division Five was engaged in a battle with the undead Sound Four, but seemed to be doing well. All Divisions were close to finishing their battles, and that made Inoichi hopeful.
Tsunade nods, happy with that information. It was no surprise to Tsunade that it was Division Two who had finished their battle first. It was even better now that all past Hokage had joined the battle, all seemed to be going well.
"Who could have done that Jutsu?" A mumbles to himself. He was referring to the Re-animation Jutsu, who was evidently on their side.
Tsunade smirks to herself, keeping it hidden from the Raikage.
Just then, Ao's eyes widen. He felt a strong chakra, a very strong chakra appear in Division Four. In Ao's mind, it had to be Madara, but it was different to the one he sensed back on the Kage Summit.
"A very strong chakra had appeared on the battlefield in Division Four!" Ao announces to the Kage sitting on the table.
Inoichi nods his head, "He's announced himself as Madara." He had seen it through the mind of his own Clansmen, and it was just as unnerving seeing it through his Clansmen's eyes that he couldn't imagine seeing him in person.
Just having Inoichi confirm this sent dread through Ao. If that was Madara in Division Four, then who was the other 'Madara' and why was he on the move?
There was a solemn silence around them. News of Madara's appearance had shocked them. It caused panic amongst the Shinobi in the room, everyone knew who Madara was and how powerful he was. The thought of him coming onto the battlefield scared many people.
Ao, was sweating. He could sense Madara's chakra and quite frankly it terrified him. Madara's chakra was huge, and the fact he had been brought back through Re-animation was even worse. That would mean Madara would have an endless supply of chakra, and he couldn't be killed. The only way would be to seal him away.
Tsunade stood up from her seat. "Inform Hashirama of Madara's appearance in Division Four, now!" She orders, slight urgency in her tone. Tsunade knew that the real Madara was in Division Four and he posed a real threat. With the First Hokage here, Tsunade felt confident that her grandfather could deal with it.
Inoichi immediately follows Tsunade's orders, but then he frowns. "I can't seem to get in contact with him."
Tsunade swore under her breath, the one time for communications to fail, it would be now. "Try the other Hokage!" Tsunade orders again.
Inoichi nods and does as she says, but comes up with the same problem. Every time Inoichi tried to communicate with the Yamanaka's on the Division's team, he couldn't get through. There seemed to be something blocking Inoichi.
"I can't get through." Inoichi admits, a sigh in his tone.
Tsunade refrained from slamming her hands on the table. She needed to be calm now and think rationally. Madara was in Division Four, and if what Akemi said he was right, he was going to massacre them.
Looking to the Raikage, Tsunade grins. "What do you say to joining in with the battle?" Tsunade asks, a mischievous look in her eyes.
A looks to her. He had been restless since his encounter with Naruto, and he really wanted to fight. He had heard how powerful Madara was and wanted to test it himself. So when Tsunade looked at him with a grin, a smirks appears on A's face.
"Gladly." A says, standing up.
Tsunade looks to Mabui and Shikaku. "Send word to the Mizukage that we need her in Division Four. Tell her Madara had arrived and we need to hold him off until Hashirama can make it." Tsunade orders.
Shikaku and Mabui nod their heads, understanding the order.
Tsunade looks around. "Does anyone know a transporting Jutsu?" They needed to get their fast, before Madara could annihilate any of Division Four to ruins.
It was a random Kumogakure Ninja that spoke up. "Mabui knows one."
Mabui's eyes widen. "The Heavenly Transfer Jutsu can only be used for objects! It can't transport humans!" There had only been one person to survive this technique of hers, and that was A's father – the Third Raikage. Due to A being his father's son, he'd more than likely survive it, but Tsunade wouldn't.
"That's a gamble we have to take." Tsunade says, her voice firm.
Shikaku looks to her, "You're not best known for your gambles." He states, slight amusement in his eyes. Tsunade was much known for her gambling – how she always lost and when she actually did win, it was a bad omen to come.
Tsunade turns to him, a serious expression on her face. "I always win, when I gamble with my life. That's why I haven't died yet."
Mabui looks to Shikaku, hoping for him to say something that could convince Tsunade otherwise, but Shikaku sighs.
Tsunade looks to Inoichi. "Keep trying to contact Hashirama, it's vital that he knows about this."
"Yes." Inoichi replies, trying to get past the block on communication.
Tsunade and A turn to Mabui, an expecting look on both their faces.
Seeing no other choice, Mabui reluctantly agrees.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
Finding out that Madara had arrived had sent a shockwave through the entirety of Division Two. It had definitely shocked me because of how early he had arrived onto the battlefield. But it just gave me a bad feeling, something was going to happen and it wasn't going to be pretty. However, I did feel a little relieved. I had brought back Hashirama back at the right time, any later and it may have been too late.
Naruto immediately stands up from his sitting positon. "I need go."
"No." I say back instantly. The worst thing to happen would be to allow Naruto to fight Madara now. Naruto was Madara's main goal, along with B, who I hadn't seen.
Naruto was about to open his mouth, but his eyes widen and he falls to his knees. He grips his stomach, where his seal is and winces in pain. Something was happening, and Kurama didn't like it.
Kushina sees her son on her floor, and she was instantly on her feet and running towards him. "What happened, Dattebayo?!" She demands, looking around with panic in her eyes.
I walk up to Naruto and kneel down to him. "It's Kurama, isn't it?" I ask him, already knowing the answer. Madara was attempting to summon the Nine Tails, but he couldn't because he was already inside of Naruto.
Naruto weakly nods his head, in a lot of pain. It wasn't just him that was in pain, Kurama was thrashing around in agony and he was angry that Madara would dare to summon him.
Hinata looks to me, "What's wrong with him?" She was looking to Naruto and me, panic also in her pearl eyes.
"Madara is attempting to summon the Nine Tails." I explain to them before checking on Naruto. The first thing I did was check his seal, which was intact. Sending some of my chakra into the seal, I felt Kurama calm down to the point where he stopped thrashing around.
After a few more seconds, Naruto stops holding his stomach. "It's gone, the pain is gone." He says, relief in his tone.
I relax slightly and stop pumping chakra into the seal, but that seemed to be a mistake.
Naruto took this opportunity and tried to make a run for it into the forest. But before he could get any further, Itachi appears in front of him and Shisui behind him. "Sorry Naruto." Itachi says, shaking his head.
Naruto grumbles. "Move, I need to fight Madara."
I stand up and shake my head too. "No Naruto-kun, Hashirama is there and he can handle Madara. He is the only one who is on Madara's level." I explain to him, remembering how Madara had demolished the Five Kages in the anime. However, this time around Madara wouldn't be so powerful because he won't have Hashirama's cells in him because I had killed Kabuto. That doesn't mean that Madara will be easy to beat, but he won't be almost god-like with his powers and wouldn't able to access Hashirama's Wood Jutsu.
Sasuke nods his head, "You can't go rushing off Naruto." Though Sasuke wouldn't say it out loud, he was concerned. He knew that if the enemy got their hands on Naruto or Killer B then it would be game over.
But Naruto didn't listen. He quickly makes a ten Clones and sends them off, using them as a distraction so he could escape. Itachi, Shisui and Sasuke managed to get rid of nine of them, but I noticed one running off out of the corner of my eye. It had managed to slip away while everyone else was dealing with the Naruto Clones, and Kushina, Mikoto and Fugaku were stopping the real Naruto was actually leaving.
"Damn you Naruto-kun." I mumble under my breath, making my own clone to go after the last Naruto clone. Naruto's clone didn't make it far, my clone disposed of it before it got too far. Once that was done, I banished my clone since I didn't need her anymore.
"I have to help!" Naruto exclaims, struggling against the people who were restraining him.
"Hashirama will deal with him, and if not then the Kage will be able to hold him off until then, don't you believe in Tsunade?" I ask him.
Naruto stops for a moment and thinks.
"They will win, dobe." Sasuke says.
Naruto sighs and relaxes. "So, what do we do now then?" He asks, looking around but his eyes eventually land on me.
It was Itachi however who spoke up. "Tsunade-sama said to find Obito if my mission were to come to end early." He says with a blank expression. When Itachi was debriefed about his mission to protect Naruto, Tsunade had given him extra instructions, ones that he couldn't share with anyone. But he felt like now was the time to share this information, knowing that it would occupy Naruto from going off to fight Madara.
Fugaku looks to his oldest son, a scandalise look on his face. However, he was ignored much to my amusement.
"That seems like a plan then." I say, a grin on my face.
Hinata steps forward. "I'm coming too." She says, a determined look in her eyes.
Before anyone could say anything, Naruto spoke up. "No." He says, shaking his head as he looked at Hinata.
Hinata's eyes widen, "What?"
"Hinata, we need you to stay behind and help defend the Second Division." I say, a sincere tone in my voice. I couldn't and would not let Hinata get caught up in this mess, and it looked like Naruto was also having none of it. It wasn't that we didn't believe in her fighting skills, but it's because we all knew that Obito was on another level of power.
Before Hinata could protest, Kushina spoke up. "Don't worry, that just gives us time to bond!" Kushina wraps her arm around Hinata's shoulders, a massive grin on her face. There was a silent message in Kushina's smile for Hinata and it was telling the Hyuuga Heiress not to disagree with her.
Hinata flushes and looks at the ground awkwardly. She was meeting her crush's mother, something she thought would never happen. But at the same time, Hinata was also slightly fearful of Kushina's smile, she had seen the message loud and clear.
Naruto steps towards them. "Protect her, Okaa-san?" He asks, asking his mother in a low voice so Hinata couldn't hear even if she was right next to Kushina.
Kushina looks at her son, and she instantly sees Minato in him. Minato had always cared about his loved ones dearly, always putting their welfare above even his own. Kushina could clearly remember the day Minato saved her from being kidnapped way back when they were in the Academy. Smiling softly, Kushina nods her head, "Of course."
Satisfied, Naruto grins and steps away, giving Hinata one last glance before we set off.
"We'll stay behind too." Mikoto says, a gently smile on her face.
Sasuke looks to his mother. "What?"
Itachi also looks over, his face didn't give anything way but his eyes did. He looked curious but at the same time there was understanding in his eyes.
"You don't need us old folks to protect you, you've already got people who would do that." Mikoto says, sending me a meaningful look.
I had to fight myself not to blush, especially when I felt Sasuke look at me.
Fugaku looked like he wanted to protest, but he chose not to. "Just come back." He says, sending Itachi and Sasuke looks.
With that in mind, we all run in search for Obito.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
In a blinding light, Tsunade and A were transported to Division Four. On arrival, Tsunade immediately began to heal herself, she didn't need to use her Strength of a Hundred Seal since the travel wasn't that bad and she wasn't torn to piece as Mabui had been worried about.
A looks to her. "You okay?"
Tsunade nods her head, her wounds already healed. "Yes."
Both Kage look up and not too far away, stood the remains of Division Four. Dead bodies lay everywhere and the earth below looked just ask broken as the Division. Seeing this much death should have shocked the Raikage and the Hokage, but they were on a mission.
A was the first to spot them. "Over there." He says, pointing them out.
Tsunade looks in the direction of where A pointed and saw Madara along with Ōnoki and Gaara. It would seem that there weren't many survivors of Division Four, only the two Kage, Temari and a few other Shinobi. The two Kage look at one another and nod their heads, both ready to attack.
Madara was about to attack Gaara and Ōnoki, but his attack never met his target. Two figures suddenly appeared and attacked Madara with two powerful kicks that Madara had no other choice but to dodge them.
Jumping back, Madara looks at who attacked him and sees Tsunade and A standing in front of him, in a protective stance in front of Ōnoki and Gaara.
In a flash, Mei also appears, three Shinobi around her. "Since everyone is alive, I guess we aren't too late." She comments, looking around to see her fellow Kage.
"Finally, I'll get to see some action, I've been bored stiff." A says, feeling the adrenaline pump as he got ready for a fight.
"I'm ready for a fight too." Tsunade says, also feeling pumped.
Gaara, however stays silent. But he got up from the ground, also ready to fight alongside his fellow Kage.
Ōnoki laughs slightly. "Living long was well worth it. Being able to see the day that the Five Kage would be united and fight side by side one another." As he said this, all the Kage stood by one another. To anyone else, this would be imposing and would have struck fear in anyone's hearts, all but Madara.
Madara stood on a destroyed rock not too far away, looking down on them. "This is perfect, maybe this will be a worthwhile fight." He comments with a blank expression. Due to Yukiko summoning him back to life wrong, he didn't have access to his Rinnegan, much to Madara's dislike. However, Madara didn't need his Rinnegan to win; he was powerful enough without it and he still had his Sharingan.
Tsunade immediately began her task of healing both Ōnoki and Gaara who were the most injured. Ōnoki even had blood pouring out of one eye. "Thank you, Tsunade-hime." Ōnoki says.
Tsunade looks to Mei and A, "Raikage, Mizukage, buy me some time." She orders, still healing the other two. For this fight to go well, all Five Kage would need to be in their best condition to fight against Madara. As Tsunade was healing them, she filled them both in on what their plan was: stall Madara long enough for Hashirama to appear so Madara doesn't annihilate the other Divisions.
A didn't need to be told twice. Chakra burst around A and lightning was crackling around him. "Here we go, Mizukage!" A exclaims, getting ready to fight.
Mei quickly began to make hand seals. "Yes, Yōton: Yōkai no Jutsu!" Mei spat out lava, aiming it for Madara. It covered the area like water, but was burning everything in its path.
Madara quickly began to evade the attack, sliding down rocks, jumping away from it and dodging it. While Madara was busy dodging; A attacked and managed hand a hit on Madara, only for Madara to block the attack at the last second due to A being so fast. As Madara was falling, Mei made sure to send more lava his way, making him fall into the pool of lava on the floor. However, this wasn't a victory just yet. A blue glow emanated from the lava until it came to the surface. Madara had activated his Susano'o, which protected him from the lava.
A growls under his breath. "Raigyaku Suihei Choppu!" Lightning covered his hand and he attacked Madara in his Susano'o. The attack hit and sent Madara further into the ground, but still the Uchiha didn't even blink at the attack.
Mei spat more lava out from her mouth, covering Madara and his Susano'o. A jumped out of the way, so he didn't get hit by the lava and landed right next to Mei.
A turns to look at Tsunade. "How much longer, Hokage?"
"Almost done." She says back, focusing on healing.
An explosion rocked the area as Madara's Susano'o sat up, lava gripping from it with Madara safely inside it. Steam was emanating from the Susano'o as the lava was doing some damage. "Lightning Style teleportation and Lava Style Kekkei Genkai. They're impressive attacks." Madara comments, only being slightly impressed.
Mei smirks. "I usually like men who are hard to melt, but I want to avoid you."
"He counters me even with my speed." A grumbles under his breath.
Madara swung his arm inside the Susano'o, and the Susano'o copied his movements. The arm obliterating the earth as he swiped down. Mei and A jumped out of the way, landing not too far from Tsunade.
"More speed, I need to increase my power to crush his defence." A says.
Madara folds his arms. "What about your defence?" His Susano'o attacks, sending spiral like chakra spheres in the Kage's direction.
However, the attack never hit. It was at that moment that Tsunade was done healing Gaara and Ōnoki. They jumped into action, both placing their hands on the ground. A wall of sand appeared before the Kage and stopped the attack from hitting them. It wasn't just a sand wall, but a stone golem that also blocked the attack, two shields protecting the Kage.
"This war is now a battle to protect each other!" Ōnoki announces, feeling stronger.
Madara looks at the two walls, looking slightly impressed. "A two-fold defensive wall of sand and stone, huh?" At this moment, Madara chose to charge at the Kage.
"Here he comes!" Ōnoki says, "Time to go on the offensive!"
Ōnoki looks to Mei and A, "Mizukage, Raikage. Listen to me now!"
Madara and his Susano'o appear in front of the Kage, two swords in his hands. It swiftly raises the swords and slams the swords down into the earth, destroying the sand wall and stone golem with ease.
Gaara grunts as he sends a wave of sand at Madara. Madara's Susano'o began slashing at the sand, moving it out of his way. While Madara wasn't looking, Gaara made himself float in the air by standing on a large clump of sand. Gaara waves his arms and moves the sand to cover Madara and his Susano'o completely. Gaara was attempting to immobilise Madara so they could seal him away, but also to provide Ōnoki with enough time to tell A and Mei then plan. But Madara proved to be too powerful and managed to burst his way out of the sand.
Luckily though, Ōnoki had manged to tell them the plan.
Madara was still covered in sand, and his Susano'o was attempting to get rid of it by slashing his way out. But Madara was also staring at the Kage, waiting for something to happen.
"Mizukage!" Ōnoki orders.
Mei makes the hand seals. "Kirigakure no Jutsu!" Mist burst from her mouth, covering the entire area in mist.
Ōnoki jumped on A's back. "Let's do this, Raikage!"
"Yes!" A exclaims.
With that A, disappears in a flash, much faster than before. With Ōnoki's powers, A had managed to become lighter and therefore faster. With a new speed, A charges at Madara. "Chōkajūgan no Jutsu!" A appeared behind Madara and his Susano'o and with a burst of chakra, sent of beam through the Susano'o, heavily destroying the Susano'o.
Madara glares at Ōnoki as he deactivates his Susano'o.
"Stone Golem!" Ōnoki shouts as he and A stand on the head of the stone golem he had just summoned. "It will pulverise him!" The golem raised its fist and slammed down onto the earth.
Madara had jumped out of the way quickly and performed his own hand seals. "Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu!" Madara compresses a large amount of chakra before expelling multiple fire balls from his mouth. The fire balls changed shape into dragon heads, all five heading Ōnoki, A and his stone golem.
The attack hits, and the stone golem is destroyed.
"Damn you." Ōnoki curses under his breath, before A jumps away and lands on the ground safely.
However, Madara wasn't done. He sent more dragon shaped fire balls in the direction of the other Kage.
Mei looks to Tsunade, who was healing her at the moment. "What do we do?" Mei asks, a concerned expression on her face.
Tsunade looks to Gaara, "Kazekage!"
"I know." Gaara says, before waving his hand and sending a mountain of sand in the direction of the fire. Also, Gaara made a podium of sand for each Kage and himself, and levitated them into the air.
Just then, Madara appears in front of them in mid-air, his Susano'o once again activated. "You were too distracted with the fire balls." Madara comments with a blank expression. With a wave of his hand, the Susano'o sent all five Kage plummeting into the ground.
Madara and his Susano'o jumped to higher ground and performed some hand seals. "Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!" Fire burst from his mouth, aiming for the five Kage that lay on the ground.
Ōnoki jumps into action. "Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu!" A ball of light, being covered by a 3D rounded triangle appears in Ōnoki hands, he points it upwards and allows the ball of light in the middle of expand, cutting the fire and stopping the attack from hitting them. The attack itself didn't manage to hit Madara, as he was too quick for it.
Ōnoki levitated upwards to Madara's level, his ball of light now in the shape of a square and much bigger than before. "Look at me, being pitiful about my age, I should be excused for making an excuse!" With that, he let the light of his Jutsu disappear into nothing.
Looking down, Ōnoki sees all the other Kage back on their feet. "Let's get on with our counter attack!"
Madara looks down at the Kage, being at a higher vantage point. "You there, woman, user of Medic Ninjutsu. You have his blood running through your veins, don't you?" Madara asks her, referring to Hashirama.
Tsunade glares at him. "And so what?!"
Madara stares her down with an intense look in his eyes. "Then I'll kill you first."
"Taking out a unit's Medic Ninja first is an established tactic." Mei comments. "Surely you don't think we'd let you do that so easily, do you?"
"You're wrong." Madara denies, being honest. "It's because she is decedent of Hashirama Senju."
Mei looks taken aback, that was his reason.
Madara turns back to Tsunade. "Your Medic Ninjutsu is only strong enough to defer death for only a short while. Compared to Hashirama Senju, your Jutsu is trivial. He was able to heal without even weaving signs. He was in another class in every Jutsu. Everyone called him the most powerful Shinobi. I fought a real death match against him, this is child's play. Compared to him, what do you, his descendent, have to offer? You can't even use the Wood Style and your Medical Ninjutsu doesn't even come close. But most of all, you're a weak woman! Weakness disgusts me and a weak Senju disgusts me even more!"
"You've gone on long enough!" A shouts back at him.
Tsunade steps forward, making the Kage look to her. "I am a descendent of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and true to the fact I do not use Wood Style. My Medic Ninjutsu is pathetic compared to my grandfather, who didn't even weave signs. And I am a woman, but I'm not a weak woman. Simple strength isn't everything. It's something passed on to me and continues to flow from First Hokage; that is my true power!"
It was in that moment that Tsunade truly reminded Madara of Hashirama, because it was exactly what he too would say. Madara could see this, and he didn't like it.
Tsunade smirks, "So don't you dare underestimate the Will of Fire!"
Madara stares down at her mockingly, "That is what Hashirama left behind when he died? Power doesn't stem from will, it's a physical fact, rooted in matter."
Tsunade walks forward more. "You're wrong! The will of the fallen drives the people they leave behind, bringing out their true power! My medical Ninjutsu was born from that will, then given form by medical ninja and by our laws!"
This piqued Madara's interest, but only slightly.
Tsunade put her hands together, making the tiger seal. As she did this, the purple diamond on her head began to glow. "First clause: 'No medic ninja shall ever stop medical treatment until the lives of their party members have come to an end.' The Second clause: 'No medic ninja shall ever stand on the front lines.' Third clause: 'No medic ninja shall ever die until they are the last of their platoon. These are the laws I've taught all my students, but there is one more. The Fourth clause: 'Only those medic ninja who have mastered the Strength of a Hundred Technique of the ninja art Creation Rebirth are permitted to discard the other clauses.'" As she said this, the purple diamond on her forehead expanded, lines appearing all over body. Once done, the purple diamond disappeared from her forehead.
Madara looks intrigued. "Hundred Technique of the ninja art Creation Rebirth? Never heard of it."
Tsunade smirks. "It's my unique forbidden Jutsu, meaning I'm the only one who can fight!" With that, she leaps over, intending to fight Madara.
Madara didn't react. "An extra Medic Ninja will make no difference to anything."
"If four of us aren't enough, then we'll fight with five. Don't mistake me for just another Medical Ninja!" Tsunade exclaims, throwing her fist back.
Just as she was about to hit Madara, he summons his Susano'o to protect him. Madara takes notice to the fact that Tsunade's punch had caused a crack in his Susano'o armour. Madara also noted that Tsunade was slower than the Raikage, but is stronger than him.
A lets his electrical blue chakra absorb him. "Let's go!" Ōnoki jumps on A's back, ready to join in with the fight.
Tsunade puts more force into her punch, making the Susano'o crack even further.
Madara quickly makes the hand seals. "Katon: Gōka Messhitsu!" A massive stream of intense flames burst from Madara's mouth, aiming to set Tsunade ablaze.
However, Mei jumped in front of Tsunade and quickly did her own hand seals. "Suiton: Suijinchu!" A large tower of water was spat from Mei's mouth, and it encased Madara's flames, killing the technique.
Mei wasn't done though, she runs forward and does another Jutsu. "Suiton: Suiryudan!" A large dragon made of water appeared from the water Mei had created and ate Madara and his Susano'o.
Madara jumped further into the sky, but was met by A and Ōnoki. "Raigyaku Suihei Chop!" Using his hand, A chops the back of Madara's Susano'o in the spine, while Tsunade kicks the Susano'o with extreme force, also causing the front of it to crack. The brute force of both attacks forced Madara into a nearby crater.
Still, Madara remained unharmed. "It seems that you're not a feeble woman after all." Madara says, looking to Tsunade as she appeared near him. "If your intrusion leads to your death, the other Kage will be quick to follow. You're their only source of healing."
"That only matters if I die." Tsunade says, disregarding what he said. The other four Kage all land beside her, lining up.
"Hashirama, I don't know what you left behind, but what I've seen so far doesn't begin to compare to your powers." Madara mumbles to himself.
Tsunade stares at Madara, "I've told you, you're wrong!" She shouts, thinking of Dan and Nawaki.
"If there is anything that can be inherited, it is hatred alone." Madara says, a void expression on his face.
Tsunade leaps forward and punches Madara, obliterating his left side. Seeing his empty eyes, Tsunade assumed that he was dead, and jumps out of the way, just in time for Gaara's sand to encase Madara. "Sabaku Sotaiso!" The sand hardens into the shape of a triangle and multiple seals are placed on the sand.
"He's sealed!" Gaara shouts.
"Good!" Tsunade shouts back, a happy expression on her face. However, it didn't last long. In just seconds, a blue sword pieced out from the ground where Tsunade was standing and impales her stomach right through.
All the Kage's eye widen in horror.
Madara appears from the ground below, Susano'o once again activated. The Susano'o sword still impaled in Tsunade's stomach as he rises from the ground below.
"What you sealed away was a clone. No, this spells the end for the rest of the Kage." Madara says, looking around. "Now, whose time to die is it next?"
But Tsunade wasn't done.
Tsunade lets out a battle cry as she uses her hand to chop the sword in two. She pushes the other half out of her and send the broken part of the sword back at Madara and his Susano'o with extreme force.
Madara summons one of Susano'o arms and hits Tsunade away like a fly, sending her flying into a rock.
When Tsunade got up, Madara looks surprised. "How can you still move?!" He shouts at her.
Tsunade looks up at him, blood pouring from her lips from being stabbed in the stomach. But all her wounds are healing, "I told you, you were wrong."
"Seal-less regeneration, I see." Madara comments, looking at the wound close itself up. It reminded Madara of Hashirama. "This is what your Fourth Law Technique does, then? It's the same as Hashirama's ability."
"Though I was hoping to create an opening with this." Tsunade says.
Madara laughs, "You thought you could beat me with my own technique."
Ōnoki appears behind Madara, a ball of light in his hands, ready to attack. Ōnoki lets the attack go, a beam of light hitting Madara straight on.
"Got him!" A shouts.
But A was wrong. Madara had jumped out of the way in time. "Attacks like that won't affect me." Madara states.
"But it hit you last time!" Ōnoki shouts back at him.
Madara shrugs his shoulders. "I was merely humouring you."
"I have a question for you!" Tsunade shouts over.
Madara looks to her. "What?"
"I won't deny that you managed to outwit us with that Clone. But, looking at it from another way, you could say that we've managed to push you to the point where you have to use a clone to defend your real body. Am I wrong?" Tsunade says, a small smirk on her face.
This doesn't sit well with Madara, an unhappy look on his face. His gaze goes to Ōnoki and then to each Kage. "You do have a five-on-one advantage." Madara says.
"Please done claim we're being unfair. This is just the extent that we acknowledge your strength. You are Uchiha Madara." Mei says, keeping quiet about their plan. All they had to do was stall Madara long enough for the First Hokage to make it.
"Not unfair at all. Five-to-one. Just right for light entertainment." Madara makes his own hand seals and makes Five Clone for each Kage; totalling twenty-five Madara Clone, not including the original.
Madara grins, "Now it's five-on-one. No moaning about fairness, you are the Five Kage."
Each Kage looks around at the five clones wearily.
"Now I have a question for you." Madara says, getting their attention again. "Should these clones use Susano'o or not? Which do you prefer?"
No one answered him, all the Kage were doing was looking at each clone, trying to come up with a solution on how to beat them.
"Susano'o it is." Madara says, making all twenty-five of his shadow clones have Susano'o.
The Madara Clones charge on the Kage. One of the clones closet to Mei, managed to hit her, nearly sending her flying into the ground. However, Gaara noticed this and sent his sand to save Mei, just in time before she hit the ground, massively softening her fall.
With Gaara distracted, the Madara Clones attacks, swinging their swords at Gaara. Luckily, Gaara noticed in time, and his sand came to his rescue and blocked the attack. Jumping into the air, Gaara made the mistake of letting his guard down, causing him to get hit by one of the swords. It sent him flying into the ground, but he also used his sand to cushion his fall.
Mei and Gaara look around and see ten Madara Clones, all using Susano'o.
"They're too strong." Mei says. "How are we supposed to…?"
"You're right, at this rate…" Gaara trails off, struggling to sit up. His sand had cushioned his fall, but not completely and he was in pain from the fall.
Tsunade let out a battle cry as she punched another Madara clone in the back, knocking it to the ground. She had been impaled by two swords, and she had snapped them off. She pushes them out of her body, using them to attack the Susano'o.
A had been punched by one directly as he was on the ground. Using his strength, A held off the attack by simply pushing the fist off from him with one arm. "Hokage, your fighting is getting sloppy! It may not kill you, but keep on fighting like that and you'll only exhaust yourself!" A comments.
"I'm putting my life on the line for this battle! There is no other way." Tsunade says back, as she threw the broken piece of Madara's swords away. It was at that moment that Tsunade started coughing blood and fell to her knees.
"Hokage!" A shouts.
Due to A being distracted, he didn't notice one of the Madara Clone's Susano'o behind him. It picked him up and held A tightly in its hands. A makes the mistake of looking up and into the Madara Clone's eyes, immediately being put under a Genjutsu. A froze and was let go by the Susano'o and fell to the ground. A couldn't believe he had been so stupid as to look into the Madara Clones eyes, he knew how powerful they were.
Seeing the Raikage weak, the five Madara Clones each decided to strike with their sword. A couldn't move and certainly couldn't avoid the attack. At the last moment, a stone golem hand burst from the ground and picked up A, and receded back into the ground again.
The stone hand came back up to the surface next to Ōnoki and then disappeared again. Ōnoki walks over to A and places a hand on his shoulder. "Kai!"
This released A from the Genjutsu, and he looks to him. "Thanks, Tsuchikage."
Madara glares down at Ōnoki. Madara had noticed that Ōnoki wisdom in battle was showing, and Madara knew that he needed to get rid of Ōnoki.
Ōnoki shouts out "Stand, my fellow Kage! No more weakness! Let us look death in the face together!"
Each Kage looks up to Ōnoki.
"We are the Five Kage. So choose final words that will not shame your title! We cannot betray the trust of each and every Shinobi!" Ōnoki shouts out to them all.
All the Kage stood up, and jumped to be next to Ōnoki so they were all together. "We must be worthy of the title of Kage!" Ōnoki announces, pride in his tone.
Ōnoki places his hands out, ready to attack. Tsunade stands behind him and pumps chakra into him. "More chakra, Hime!" Ōnoki says.
"I got it," Tsunade says.
"There's not much chakra left, we must consider this our last stand." Ōnoki says calmly. Power began building up inside Ōnoki as a ball of light appears in his hands. "Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu!" A massive burst of light shines brightly in the shape of a cube. Everything in its path is destroyed, including the Madara Clones.
The light stretched so far that it even hit the real Madara, who jumped out of the way with half his body gone. Ōnoki opened up his attack and allowed Mei's water dragon to swallow Madara, but the water was also infused with lightning. Madara's body was nearly gone, only his upper torso remained. Even then, Madara still felt confident. Even when sand began to encase his body, but it wasn't just sand; there was bomb tags on the sand too.
"Do you see this? This is the full power of the Five Kage!" Ōnoki shouts out, feeling confident.
Seeing as the Kage were indeed powerful together, Madara decided to unleash his full power. The Uchiha easily broke out from the sand and all the Kage's attack with the use of his Susano'o. His body was already fully regenerated. However, this wasn't his normal Susano'o that he usually used. "The Five Kage are nothing compared to me." Madara says.
"This is my perfect Susano'o!" Madara announces. The Susano'o around him began to change, it became more powerful. Its head gains a long tengu nose and two lines running down from its mouth to its chin area, as well as hair which is tied up at the sides. Madara's Susano'o is made up of two entirely different sides that are conjoined along their spine, both of which have a distinct face: the front face has elongated canine teeth in its lower jaw bracket and two tusks growing from said jaw, while the back face has similarly elongated canine teeth in its upper jaw bracket and a single horn protruding from its forehead. In its armoured form, the usual tengu-like armour splits from its forehead down, revealing Susanoo's eyes while obscuring the rest of its face.
Seeing Susano'o in its true form shocked the Kage. "The big one's chakra has settled down." Ōnoki says, letting his hands drop to his side.
Tsunade was looking up at in shock. "I can't believe the difference in power." She couldn't believe how her own grandfather fought someone like this, and won. She had heard about how powerful her grandfather was through other people, but to see his enemy right in front of her made her realise the power difference.
"Hashirama is the only one who could stop me." Madara says. His Susanoo's unsheathed his sword and swung it. The power behind it alone chopped the two mountains in the distance in half.
The sheer force sent the Kage's back propelling backwards and getting hit with debris as they rolled one.
"The maps will need to be redrawn a little after this." Madara comments with his arms crossed.
"Impossible! He split a mountain!" Mei says in shock.
"This is… Madara Uchiha…" Ōnoki whispers lowly in shock. "Then why did you hold back last time?!" Ōnoki shouts to Madara, feeling frustrated.
Madara scoffs, "What adult goes full force when fighting a mere child? Besides, are you finished now?"
Madara's Susano'o began to walk towards the Kage. Each knew that Madara would finish them off when he made to them.
Ōnoki steps forward. "We may be stumbling in the dark, but we're close to the light at the end of the tunnel!"
Madara stares Ōnoki down. "This Susano'o us destruction incarnate. A single stroke of the blade contains enough power to smash all things in this universe. It rivals even the Tailed Beasts. Take your philosophy, Five Kage and be crushed and be gone!" The Susano'o picks up its sword and begins to raise it, ready to strike.
Mei turns to Ōnoki. "I guess this is the end."
A looks to her. "Well I'm for one not giving up!" He stands to his feet, ready to attack when he was completely exhausted of chakra.
Madara's Susano'o thrusts its sword down, intending to hit the Five Kage.
"Mokuton: Mokuryū no Jutsu!" A gigantic dragon made of wood with a tengu-like face appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around Madara's Susano'o, bringing it down to the ground with ease.
Madara's eyes widen when he sees the wooden dragon. He immediately banishes his Susano'o and the wooden dragon retreats back to its user.
Tsunade looks up when she doesn't feel the impending attack. All she heard was Madara's Susano'o being brought down, and she was filled with confusion. But then she was filled with hope, had Hashirama made it in time?
Looking up, all Tsunade could see is dust. But the dust soon disappeared, and Tsunade could see clearly.
Not too far away stood her grandfather.
Hashirama Senju.
Grinning, Hashirama says. "Need a little help, hime?" He smiles widely, showing off his teeth.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
