McAwzome: Yup that's right, Sasuke is back! The only thing I can say/do to the Ino comment is this: Facepalm.

Eiseah: Thank you, I'm glad you thought the chapter was cool. Also yes, Rykuga pretty much did say "Fuck it" when he went on his killing spree.

The ground exploded from the impact of Rykuga's fists. A shockwave shot out in all directions and the ground cracked in a spider web of fissures about 50 meters out in all directions. When the dust settled, the ground at the point of impact was now at least 10 feet deep. All of this was sheer strength, no chakra enhancement in any way. Naruto helped Sakura off the ground as Sasuke was wiping some dust off of his clothes. The Reaper was already clad in his Chakra Armor and had his dual blades out. Rykuga grinned, revealing a mouth of sharpened teeth, and licked his lips in excitement. His eagerness to shed blood made Naruto doubt Sasuke's story about Rykuga.

"Naruto watch out. Rykuga may regret betraying us but in his Berserker Mode his bloodlust is so high that it can actually take over and dictate his actions. It takes a lot of practice to control it. Practice that Rykuga does not have." Sasuke glanced at Naruto to make sure his message got through: Rykuga will kill everything. Naruto nodded before they both returned their attention back to Rykuga and the Reaper. Rykuga was still grinning but was now slowly advancing.

"Well Naruto. It seems that the two I resurrected will work on both you and your wife so-" The Reaper snapped his fingers and one person appeared, shrouded in a cloak. "-Where is the other one?" As if to answer his question, an explosion sounded in the background as two lone figures fought on a distant hill.

"Tch, seems I'll have to make do with one. Oh well. You can drop the cloak now." Said cloak fell backwards and fluttered to the ground. Naruto and Sakura's eyes both widened and their breaths were caught in their throats.

"Well brat, never thought you'd see me again did you?" The blonde women stated with a smirk.

"M-master?" Sakura stepped forward to get to Tsunade before Naruto grabbed her arm.

"Sakura don't. The Reaper resurrected her for this exact reason. He's trying to throw us off and have Granny kill us. We-we have to fight her." Naruto's voice broke a little as he spoke, it was obvious he was trying to hold back the tears in his eyes.

"Naruto I'll fight her." Naruto was about to voice his protest when his wife spoke again.

"Naruto I trained with her. I know her moves better than anyone here. I'm the only one that stands a chance." She turned back and gave Naruto a sad smile. He didn't trust his voice enough for more than two words.

"Be careful." Naruto nodded to Sakura as she turned and rushed Tsunade. Tsunade leapt away and lead Sakura out of Naruto's line of sight.

'I have to trust her.' Suddenly, the ground began to shake like a giant was walking. He looked up to see that, yes indeed, a giant was walking. In fact the giant was barreling towards them with one goal: Blood. Naruto jumped to the right while Sasuke went to engage the Reaper. Rykuga, despite his size, did a complete back flip and tried to crush Sasuke beneath his foot. At the same time he tried to hammer the Reaper into the ground. Naruto began running at them while gathering Nature energy. He almost thanked the Reaper for the ability. Thanks to his unlimited amount of chakra, due to the broken seal, he could take in as much Nature energy as he wanted and in would be unable to overwhelm his own chakra.

The familiar orange tint formed around his eyes as he jumped forward into the fray. He laced his punches with the Nature energy around him to increase the range of his punches. Rykuga attempted to kick him out of mid-air while simultaneously trying to smash his other opponents. Sasuke jumped over another backhand as the Reaper leapt at him, trying to cut him in half. Sasuke flooded the seal at his side with chakra and a sword materialised in his hands. He blocked the Reaper's down stroke and kicked him back to avoid the second blade. while the Reaper was still airborne, Rykuga smashed him with an open palm and shattered the Chakra Armor before he was launched into the treeline. Naruto ran up Rykuga's arm and smashed him in the face which, surprisingly, forced Rykuga down onto one knee. The crazed berserker grinned and wiped away the trickle of blood before he was suddenly in front of Naruto. Naruto cursed realizing that he was staring at the after image of the kneeling Rykuga.

A purple hand plucked him out of the air before in threw him backwards. Rykuga, seeing that his inital victim was suddenly gone, turned his rage at the Susanoo in front of him. Sasuke infused the Susanoo's sword with the Amaterasu before he went at Rykuga. Rykuga dodged with a surprising amount of agility before he shot his right hand forward and it connected with the purple being...shattering it immediately. Sasuke went soaring backwards before Rykuga appeared under him and punched him into the air. Rykuga jumped up and backhanded Sasuke into the ground, cratering it. Naruto's heart stopped when he seen the blows land. There was no way Sasuke was moving after that. To add insult to injury, Rykuga landed on the immobile form of Sasuke. He felt Sasuke's legs break on impact and he ground his heel into the destroyed legs, eliciting a scream of pain from the Uchiha.

Sakura ducked as the tree behind her exploded, showering her in wood chips and splinters of the former tree. She shot her hand up and was satisfied when she heard the grunt of pain. Tsunade landed on all fours as she tried to regain her balance.

"Well Sakura, I see that your strength has improved. How about your technique." Tsunade ran forward which caused Sakura to start backing up as she weaved around the potentially lethal blows. Finally she found her opening and unleashed a barrage of punishing blows. Tsunade fell back, her stomach and throat completely crushed. Sakura's feeling of success was crushed when Tsunade's body began to regenerate.

"You remember the Reanimation don't you Sakura?" Tsunade spoke when her throat was regenerated. "Well this is like that." Tsunade cracked her knuckles and started to advance.

"Well, master, it seems I'll just have to beat you out of existence.

Kakashi, Itachi, and Team 7 fought off another wave of enemies.

"Hey Hotaru what are you at?" Riku casually questioned as he threw a glance over his shoulder, just before ducking and plunging his sword into another enemy. "I'm at 45."

Hotaru let out a snort before he answered, "I'm at 96. You got a long ways to go!"

Misaku laughed as a wave of wooden spikes rose out of the ground and impaled several more people. "You boys should watch and learn. Those 5 put me at 177." The boys groaned at the amount of people Misaku had beaten. Before either one could say anything an explosion ripped apart the top of a hill.

"Team 7 go check that out. We can handle things here." Kakashi watched his students nod and leap away before he turned his attention back on the fight in front of him.

"Kamui!"

Mifune struggled to get back on his feet and picked up his sword. He looked at his opponent to see the damage he'd done. He was pleased to see that at least one tag had landed on his opponents left hand. However, he was not pleased to see his opponent had severed the hand and it was now regenerating. He took up his stance again when three children landed in front of him.

"General Mifune...Is that who I think it is?"

'He is Sasuke's son. Always right down to business.' Mifune almost grinned at the thought.

"Yes Riku. Our opponent is the Fourth Hokage." Mifune noticed Hotaru was on the verge of tears.

"G-grandpa? Damn you Reaper! I swear if my father doesn't kill you I will!" Hotaru was clearly enraged but a wave of different emotions washed across his face. Eventually he settled for a look of grim determination. "Let's get this over with."

Naruto felt an incredible amount of pain as the backhand from Rykuga connected. He could feel the bones breaking all along his body as he practically rag-dolled across the ground. He was SO glad that Kurama was healing his bones already because if he wasn't then Naruto wouldn't have been able to roll out of the way of Rykuga's foot that was trying to crush him.

He flipped to his feet and created 60 Shadow Clones while he started to form his Rasenshuriken. Rykuga easily batted away the clones as he made his way for Naruto. Naruto suddenly felt the sword coming from behind him and twisted out of the way. As he did he shoved the Rasenshuriken into the Reaper and let his jutsu carry the Reaper into the air a safe distance from him before it exploded.

"Watch out kid!" He heard the warning from Kurama and decided to use Kurama's help. Nine tails erupted from behind him and caught Rykuga's foot, just barely saving Naruto from paralyzation. Rykuga was shocked when the tails lifted him up and threw him into the treeline, Naruto hot on his trail.

To say Sakura was shocked wouldn't do justice to her reaction. One minute Tsunade was throwing a barrage of punches and the next a huge mass of muscle came flying through and obliterated Tsunade. Sakura looked around to see her master reforming. She quickly slapped a seal onto the partial body that sealed her away. Sakura didn't notice she was crying until the tears washed a path through the grim. She didn't have time to wallow in the feelings, however, as Rykuga sat up and grinned at her.

"You're the fox's vixen aren't you? Well, I'll enjoy killing you along with him!" Rykuga shot out a foot at the stunned Sakura. She knew there was no time to block so she pooled her chakra hoping to lessen the impact. Suddenly, nine orange tails shot around her and caught the foot. She could see the tails shaking from the sheer strength of Rykuga but they were holding on. She felt Naruto wrap his arms around her protectively as he pulled her back.

A clone dropped down next to her, gently holding Sasuke, and laid down their comrade next to her.

"Sakura I need you to heal Sasuke. Were going to need everyone to fight both Rykuga and the Reaper." She nodded and turned to heal his legs. She gasped at how badly they were destroyed. She began the long task of repairing the now-powder bones.

-Back in Konoha-

Hinata continued on with her therapy sessions. She had woken up just after Naruto had departed and has been desperately trying to join the war effort. She cursed the fact that Naruto had placed her under the watch of observant nurses. However, now she was terrified. She couldn't move an inch due to the paralyses jutsu that was placed on the room and she watched the nurses get cut down like they were a nuisance. The assassins closed in on her before they started a series of hand signs.

She watched as the lead assassin raised his blade and rested it on her neck.

"This is a message from our master." The one doing hand signs used his now glowing finger to carve a message into her stomach and back. When he finished, the leader lifted his sword and brought it down on her neck.

Hinata saw no more.

Naruto watched Rykuga stand up and growl at them. Naruto got low to the ground and allowed all nine tails to shoot out behind him to protect his wife. Naruto let out a roar and Rykuga smirked.

"You call THAT a roar. Watch and learn!" He threw his head back and roared so load that the ground shook out on the battle field. Even Kurama let out a "damn" to show that it was indeed an impressive roar. Suddenly a third roar joined and they both turned, shocked, to see another Nine-tailed Demon Fox standing in their midst. Naruto turned inward to ask Kurama about this.

"What the FUCK is going on?!" Naruto glared at Kurama, not really wanting to wait for his answer.

"It seems that the Reaper is able to use the chakra that your father sealed away in him. Remember, Minato used the Reaper Death Seal to seal away half of my chakra. It seems that our opponent is able to use that. If we beat him then I could merge my chakra and be whole again! Naruto we can't hold back!" Kurama stood and prepared for a fight. Naruto nodded and turned his attention back to the real world.

The other Reaper-Kyuubi roared again before it stated, "The real fight begins now!"
