KONOHA'S MAELSTROM

Chapter 3: Battle of Kirigakure

(Konoha tower balcony)

"My people I have gathered you here today to celebrate the return of Itachi Uchiha." spoke Naruto, he was interrupted with a chorus of boos and "He's a traitor kill him!" it was a gruesome sight.

Naruto nodded his head in understanding; he had anticipated this, but this was necessary.

"My people, I am here to enlighten you to the truth of the Uchiha massacre."

The crowd grew silent and began whispering to one another as to what the emperor could possibly be talking about.

"My people the Uchiha clan planned to betray us!. Yes, they planned to launch a coup d'état, the only reason this had not transpired was because of one faithful loyal Konoha ninja… Itachi Uchiha."

The whole crowd gasped in astonishment many of the ninjas were just shell shocked. He butchered his clan for the sake of the villiage? Even still many wondered what type of person was capable of killing there family in cold blood regardless of there transgressions.

"Yes my people Itachi Uchiha is a commendable Shinobi, the sacrifices he made for this village alone should be honored, however he is not done yet. As of today I would like to introduce you to my 1st captain."

Itachi walked into the balcony and held a small smile adorning his handsome visage. Most people in the crowd gave hesitant polite applause, still unsure how they felt on the matter, accept for one person is this the truth brother, were you order to kill the clan why didn't you tell me… I will find out. Thought Sasuke

Naruto calmly glanced at his Shinobi and civilian alike and smiled there would undoubtedly be a few bumps along the road although for the most part at the very least, they seemed willing to give Itachi a chance, wish all he could ask for.

"Itachi I would like to discuss a few matters with you in the throne room, quickly gather the other captains it is of great importance."

Itachi nodded and with a quick Shunshin he vanished "My people that is all." Naruto waved.

And with that the crowd slowly begrudgingly dispersed. Naruto began making his way towards the room where he sat. He placed his head upon his palm he looked on impassively.

"The work of an Emperor is tiresome, but such is my burden." sighed Naruto.

With a quick gust of wind all of the captains were seated in there rightful chairs

"Good... I'm glad everyone was on time." Naruto's eyes lingered on Kakashi for a brief moment, silently conveying a hidden message..

"I called you here today to speak on a rather interesting topic at han- boom" The door was blasted of it hinges all the captain prepared and settled in a battle ready stance prepared for an attack while Naruto made no moves and remained impassive with no visible shift in his stance.

"So you have arrived? Eh Sasuke" Sasuke glared at the man.

"Naruto is that you… what happened to you?"

"How dare you address Emperor-Sama with such disrespect, you insolent boy" snapped Hiashi. Naruto waved his hand in a dismissive motion.

"It's quite alright Hiashi-san his disrespect is rather refreshing. However Sasuke I must warn you my tolerance can only goes so far, anything less than obedience is met with certain death."

Naruto quickly flared his Ki to insane levels "H-ai Naruto-Sama" stuttered Sasuke.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, but he didn't see Naruto he saw a monster, that chakra was to vile to belong to any human to potent to dense it was just so... otherworldly.

"Good what brings you here today?" asked Naruto with a knowing smile amusement written on his face, oh he definitely was a sadistic asshole.

Sasuke gritted his teeth in annoyance with false politeness "I'm here to speak with my brother my lord."

"Oh Itachi, it seems you and your brother have some unresolved business to attend to. You may take your leave to assort this matter, I'm putting this predicament in your capable hands." Itachi nodded, understanding the underlining meaning. Both Uchiha's exited with a quick bow.

Naruto sighed and said "Now onto more important matters I have found the current were abouts of Tsunade Senju, however the Anbu I have sent to ascertain her have come back with intensive injuries. Although all them are alive I will not condone these actions I will capture her myself if need be."

"My lord that is not the wisest idea, Tsunade is well known for her temper if you attempt to force her, it will only result in utter chaos." advised Sarutobi.

Naruto glanced at him and replied "Her power hardly compares to mines, I have no time for spoiled brats, you allowed her to roam free in honor of her lineage. I however do not share the same sentiments."

Naruto flashed through a set of hand seal and a door immediately replaced the door that was broken.

Knock knock knock

Naruto raised an eyebrow he was not expecting any visitors "Come in." ordered Naruto.

Iruka came in bowed and said

"My lord these ninja requested an audience with you."

Naruto glanced at him and nodded his head "Send them in." Iruka calmly ushered a trio in.

The first person to walk in was a short man he had, light blue hair, and dark eyes. He also had pointed shark-like teeth. He worea square, black-rimmed glasses connected to ear protectors, a blue pin-striped shirt and camouflage pattern pants. Also, he wore his forehead protector on the front of his holster which he uses to carry a peculiar looking sword. The sword itself was wrapped in bandages leaving only the double hilt visible. He also had shuriken holsters strapped onto each of his legs. The next person that walked in was rather unique looking as well.

He was a middle aged man with blue hair which is styled in a moused-up manner. His left eye was blue and his right eye was covered by an eye-patch. He wore a talisman in each ear with the kanji for a humble form of "to hear" written on them twice on each side. He also wore the standard striped, grey suit, with a green haori that had white trimmings that stop halfway down, over them.

The last person was a beauty she was slender woman probably in her early 20s. She had green eyes, and ankle-length, auburn hair styled into a herringbone pattern at the back, a top-knot tied with a dark blue band, and with four bangs at the front. Two bangs are short, with one covering her right eye, and two are long, crossing each other on her sizable bust, just below her chin.

She wore a long-sleeved, dark blue dress that fell just below the knees. It seems to be closed at the front with a zip, and is kept open on the front-right side from the waist down. The dress only covers up to the upper part of her arms and the underside of her breasts. Underneath, she wore a mesh armor that covered more of her upper body than her dress, but stopped short of covering her shoulders and still left a sizable cleavage. She also wore shorts in the same color as her dress and, underneath those, mesh leggings reaching down over her knees. Around her waist, she wore a belt with a pouch attached to the back on the left along with high-heeled sandals and shin-guards reaching up over her knees, dark blue polish on her fingers and toes, and had on dark blue lipstick.

Naruto glanced at the trio with a stoic stare not showing a single discernible ounce of emotion.

"What brings the three of you to my humble domain?"

Ao spoke quickly seizing control "We were under the impression that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage of this village we request to speak with him." he even pointed to the seated Sarutobi to demonstrate who he meant.

Naruto chuckled in amusement Ao eyes narrowed "It seems you were Ill informed, Sarutobi has not been Hokage for quite some time now, I am the new leader of this village and I must say you are already on my bad side…. it's a place you won't live long enough to regret."

Mei eyes widened "My lord forgive me ,my bodyguard he spoke out of term please allow us to explain our situation."

Naruto nodded his head "See to it that your bodyguard learns better self-control or it could lead to his early demise," he advised .

"Hai my lord." Responded Mei.

"You may continue."

Mei nodded appreciative and said

"My lord Kiri is in a state of uproar the people are revolting against the Mizukage, because of his recent decree the execution of bloodline users we have acquired a substantial amount of people to support our cause to battle against the Mizukage however, we do not have the manpower or abilities as of now to defeat him and the legendary Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone , we humbly request your aid support and help."

Naruto looked on with amusement "I will help you however there will be a price."

Mei eyes showed no emotion "What is the cost?"

"Konoha will gain full control over the water country and in return Konoha will free your people and execute the Mizukage."

Mei eyes widened "How could you propose such a deal how could we leave one tyrant only to go to another?"

Naruto replied sternly "You misunderstand me my dear, this is not some attempt to persuade you I am merely giving you the facts and telling you what is going to happen, you can accept our help. The water village will likely come out unscathed compared to Konoha declaring full war on it right now while you're in a state civil war."

Mei's eyes widened he really means It; It doesn't matter if the Mizukage DIES IF THE MY VILLAGE DOES NOT SEE A BRIGHTER FUTURE.

"My lord I will agree to your condition only if you accept my conditions."

Naruto shifted his stance and gazed at Mei with an intense stare daring her to propose an outrageous term "Speak plainly." he ordered.

"If you were to conquer Kiri, you must treat all the natives there with same respect and equality that is shown in Konoha, everyone must equal and there must be no discrimination among us."

Naruto nodded his head in understanding "That is quite admiral of you, I give you my word to abide by your rules as of today the Kiri rebel faction will unite with Konoha." Mei and Naruto quickly shook hands.

Naruto calmly glanced at Ao who was currently giving Naruto an ominous glare "Is there something the matter Ao-san?"

"Yes in fact their is. I'm not so sure I should put my faith in a scrawny looking boy like you. How exactly did you even become the leader of this village, was it a raffle of some sort."

Mei eyes widened Ao you fool all the work I did to secure this treaty you go on destroy in two seconds you thickheaded baka.

Multiple captains voiced there outrage and began to shout obscenities at Ao and the trio, however Naruto remained perfectly calm he said in a silent tone that spoke volumes

"Silence, its only natural that another party would like a demonstration of my power, I mean it is rather peculiar for a boy my age to be the leader of such a village, although I would believe that by now Ao-san you would be a little bit more knowledgeable of the ninja world."'

Ao scoffed at the insult "I would like to be the one test your worth if that is alright with you emperor."

Naruto smiled "Be my guest Ao-san I'll even permit you to use that Byakugan hidden in your left eye."

Ao eyes widened greatly "Ho-w could you know?"

Naruto smiled and activated his Rinnegan in response "My power transcends yours."

Ao eyes widened the words were not what scared him. It's where he heard them, he turned his head to see Naruto looking at him intently "Wh-en d-id you m-ove?"

Mei and Chojuro where simultaneously thinking the same thing.

"My my Ao-san if you can't keep track of me, how will you hope to defeat me?" Ao eyes narrowed before he quickly schooled his features.

"Don't get arrogant boy, it was a simple trick on your part, probably the doing of those eyes of yours with the Byakugan on I will be able to see through your trickery."

You fool Ao that's was no trick just pure speed thought Mei.

"I never pegged you to be delusional Ao-san however if you truly wish to continue with this pointless endeavor I will indulge you."

Ao smiled "Good I'm glad to hear you not chicken out, when will the fight take place, its not everyday I get to defeat the leader of a village."

Naruto smiled "Big words for such small vermin... I am a busy man there is no need to prolong your defeat we will do it now and as an act of good will all my captains will remain here." The captains showed no reaction to Naruto's statement.

Mei narrowed her eyes once more for his subordinates to not react to him leaving with three foreign ninja who are all at least Jonin level speaks volume of his own power.

"Ao I think you should reconsider" suggested Mei helpfully.

"Don't worry my lady I'll show this punk what we Kiri-nin are made of."

Naruto looked onto the group impassively "If you are ready, let us go." Ao, Mei and Chojuro nodded an with a couple of Shunshin the group was at training ground seven.

"Hey pretty boy emperor if you quit now I won't have to disgrace you and because I'm such a nice guy I won't even tell your captains that you lost to me."

Naruto remained silent and casually looked at Ao "I grow tired of your drivel Ao-san please let's begins this battle I have more important matters to attend to."

Ao's eyes narrowed who does this brat think he is to dismiss me like this, in my day that boy wouldn't even have the courage to talk to me like that.

"First move is yours Ao-san." Ao wasted no time and quickly deactivated the seals that surrounded his eye, he quickly flashed through multiple seals and yelled WATER STYLE: Explosive Water Shock wave, Ao unleashed a large torrent of water from his mouth quickly turning the forest terrain into a water terrain

Naruto looked on with boredom and said "That was quite possibly the worst move you could have possibly made."

Ao scoffed "Silence boy, soon enough you will be regretting those words."

Water Style: Water dragon bullet

yelled Ao the water Dragon rose quickly and quickly launched itself at Naruto with freighting speed. Naruto calmly rose his hand and activated his Rinnegan simultaneously and he calmly muttered

Shinra Tensei the dragon was immediately destroyed however it didn't stop there the strength of the attack lifted Ao off his feet and blasted him into several trees uprooting all of them.

Naruto sighed in boredom "Ao-san that was rather… anticlimactic I was expecting more of a challenge." Ao attempted to move from his down position but was unable to do so.

To be able to defeat Ao with one Jutsu is no easy feat, with him we just might be able to defeat the Mizukage. Thought Mei in complete shock and excitement.

Naruto looked at Ao and sighed dramatically " I guess this battle is over, it was entertaining while it lasted, but if your not going to get up I have other matters to attend to."

Ao in response staggered to his feet. Naruto merely raised an eyebrow.

"Ao-san it is not a cowardly act for you to admit defeat against a stronger foe."

"Silence we Kiri Nin fight with honor and to the death, losing in battle is the worst dishonor for a Shinobi." said Ao fiercely, passionately .

"And it because of that very mentality you are currently the weakest hidden village as of right now." Stated Naruto

Ao eyes narrowed in anger "How dare you sp-"

"Silence I've lost interest in this battle the inevitable outcome is your defeat however if you feel so strongly about Kiri instead of foolishly rushing to your death why not help with the rebellion your party started, why not fight for the people of Kiri who cannot fight for themselves?" spoke Naruto with wisdom far above his age.

Ao was taken back by the emperor's word and after a couple seconds he grunted in acknowledgement. Mei decided to add her two cents in "Um if you don't mind my asking Emperor-sama what was that technique you used just now?" Naruto glanced at Mei for a good moment until she felt she had crossed a line, but he suddenly spoke

"Shinra tensei is a Jutsu provided to me by my Rinnegan that is all I will reveal on the matter."

Mei nodded politely but on the inside she was thinking up a storm shinra tensei huh that technique completely obliterated the water dragon and defeated Ao in the same go a technique like that must have some type of drawback, ether way its good we have him as an ally and not an enemy. Mei was quickly broken out of her musing when Naruto began to walk away

"Emperor-san where are you going?" questioned Mei

"I'm going to the tower you are welcomed to join since it concerns you a great deal." The trio nodded and followed Naruto to the tower.

(Konoha's tower)

"So how long did the fool last my lord?" Questioned Danzo with mirth.

Naruto glanced at him from his seated position "He lost on my first move."

Ao from his position gritted his teeth in anger, Mei saw Ao and placed her hand upon his shoulder in a gesture of telling him to calm down, it had some effect since Ao began to settle down

"Now onto other matters, in accordance to my new information concerning our new rebel alliance our first priority will be wave country in order to launch any type of attack against Kiri it is imperative for us to settle an establishment close to the terrain. Wave country is a great vantage point in a war against Kiri, Hiashi Hyuuga you and your clan will be the focal point of our attack. Due to the fact Kiri shinobi's are primarily water users, the obvious choice would be to use lightning based attack against them. However Konoha has a scarcity of lightning user so the next best option is to fight fire with fire or in this case water. However invading Kiri will be the greatest task due to fact it is surrounded by a body of water they have the advantage along with the mountainous terrain that surrounds the area, that will be there greatest strength and weakness it is there defense and there cage. I propose that we launch a wide spread attack, two attacks from the bottom and one from the top, I will strike from the top while the rest of you strike from the bottom. As of now I don't want to spread my forces to thin so Kurenai Yūhi and Sarutobi and Hiashi will be the only ones that will accompany me in the assault the rest of you will remain here in case any one attempts to attack while I'm not here. Itachi will be left in charge. Danzo you will accompany me in retrieving lady Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Ao and Chojuro your task is to setup base in the wave country. I will shortly come to assist once I have finished my mission."

Mei eyes widened and then narrowed how on earth can he develop such a complex detailed plan of a attack on the spot? Theirs just no possible way that he could plan this assault this quickly.

"How long have you been planning this attack Emperor?" Ao said voicing his trios unsaid thoughyt. Naruto did not bother to answer or dignify Ao with a response.

Ao repeated himself with more force and authority this time and said "I asked you a question Empero-urk."

The whole room dropped to below zero it was so cold that you could see your breath. Naruto's eyes were boring into Ao's single eye, his Rinnegan was on full display.

"Do not ever presume you have any right to question me fool!"

Ao was unable to produce any words, beads of sweat were dripping down his face, he dropped to his knees under the pressure of Naruto's immense power. He began to shiver and violently convulse

"Sire that is enough." Spoke Danzo in a monotone voice.

Naruto eyes widened and his head whizzed at Danzo, for a split second Danzo eyes showed brief worry until Naruto nodded. Immediately everyone felt the pressure decrease and Ao regained his breathing and he unconsciously let go of breath he didn't even know he was holding. He glanced nervously at Naruto, however Naruto did not even grace him with a look. Naruto glanced at Danzo and spoke calmly

"Danzo it's time for us to begin our journey, my contacts say their has been sighting of Tsunade in Tanzaku. We must make great haste in acquiring her she will be a valuable asset in this upcoming war."

Knock knock Naruto eyes narrowed "I grow tired of these continuous disturbance, Iruka." Naruto hissed irritably.

" Forgive me my lord, however the daimyo has requested an audience."

Naruto eyes widen a bit before he schooled his features and smiled "Well by all means send him in."

In a grand display a man dressed in expensive clothes ranging in his late thirties with about 5 other representative strolled in.

"I hope you find this village to your liking daimyo." Naruto smoothly voiced.

The daimyo responded in a jovial but serious manner "I had expected you to address your leader with more respect than that young man."

Naruto remained impassive to the Daimyo's words, the captains and the Kiri representative all watched in silence,.

Naruto smiled and said

"Forgive me Daimyo however I don't see you as my leader… you're nothing but a figurehead."

Daimyo lost all his mirth and a scowl immediately formed, which didn't look right on his normal happy features.

"You do not accept me as ruler of this country young man…? Those words could be described as treason, I've come today because I am ceasing your reign over this village, and the notion that you are the emperor is simply foolish. How could you be the emperor of this village when I am the ruler over this country?"

Naruto looked genuinely surprised for a second,

"Daimyo you are indeed correct you are the ruler of this country and there can never be two rulers."

The daimyo nodded his head in satisfaction, glad to see the boy understood reason.

Destructive Art Four: WHITE LIGHTNING a bolt of lightning struck the daimyo in his head permanently ending his existence.

"I'm glad you saw things my way daimyo. There can only be one ruler, a ruler without the power nor means to rule... Is no ruler at all."

Everyone was left stunned dazed in silence the representative attempted to move but Naruto calmly snapped his finger and root agents quickly appeared and had there weapon poised ready for the kill.

"My my this has been a rather interesting meeting representative-san under article 14 of the land of fire if the Daimyo were to die its is up to his representative to appoint the new daimyo, am I correct in my understanding?"

The daimyo representative all looked appalled and fearful however one of them mustered enough courage to speak "Even if that is true and you forced us to choose you as the new daimyo under that same article the Hokage cannot become the daimyo."

Naruto laughed but conceded "You're very correct in your thinking the Hokage could never become the daimyo in order to ensure peace and avoid infighting , however I never proclaimed myself as the Hokage, if I am wrong feel free to correct me but I believe I stated I was the emperor of this village not the Hokage."

Naruto finished with a smirk.

The captains where left in utter shock did he really plan all this from that day? thought Sarutobi and Kakashi and a few other captains. Danzo you may proceed. Danzo nodded and walked before the head representative. The representative attempted to back up but Danzo arm lashed out constricting all his movement by grabbing his neck with a firm grip. Danzo unwrapped his bandages on his eye and his Sharingan was revealed, the rest of the captain gasped in shock. Naruto remained in his seat and continued to look on impassively. The Sharingan in Danzo's eye began to morph until it turned into a four star shape revealing the hailed Mangekyou Sharingan.

Danzo calmly muttered in a monotone voice Kotoamatsukami. The representative ceased all his movements he seemed to be in somewhat of a trance like state. Danzo calmly spoke

"You will follow Naruto Namikaze and obey him as your knew Daimyo you will remain loyal and never question his rule you will appoint Naruto Namikaze as the new daimyo."

Everybody in the room could not believe what they were seeing and to the fear of the representatives the head representative repeated everything Danzo said verbatim and then walked up to Naruto and bowed in a submissive act and said "My only goal in life is to follow you Naruto Namikaze."

Naruto nodded he calmly opened his drawer and pulled out a document "Sign it, This document will appoint me as the new Daimyo." The representative nodded and without any hesitation he quickly signed his name. The other representative looked on in shock and horror they could not believe what they where witnessing.

Naruto smiled menacingly

"Root dispose of the rest of the other representative I have no further use for them." Blood marred the floors and bodies hit the floor, everyone in the room was in total silence not believing what they had just witnessed. A perfectly executed coup with out any effort was exacted just before there eyes.

Naruto eyes showed no emotions to death that had transpired before him. It was as if he was devoid of any emotion he spoke stoically

"Representative-San what is your name?" The representative spoke fluidly as if he were perfectly fine

"My name is Amaya Beniko."

"Very well Amaya your first is order is to reveal to the country the new daimyo once you have made it to the capital." Amaya nodded and left with out a word.

Naruto sighed "Danzo there has been a slight change in plans, as of today I'm tasking you with the responsibility of the land of fires security, we are currently in the reconstructing faze. Its your job to setup a new formation of defense, anyone who is not a Konoha citizen should find it impossible to get in the land of fire by any means feel free to incorporate the newly acquired samurai I now have under my direct command to aid it, I will go capture Tsunade on my own, I expect all of you to accomplish your task upon my return. Everything that has transpired to day is a triple S ranked secret anyone who reveals this matter will be dealt swiftly and accordingly."

Danzo nodded his head in understanding and voiced his concerns.

"What would you have me do with the bodies?"

Naruto paused for a second a briefly glancing distastefully at the deceased daimyo and the representatives on the floor and spoke firmly "Cover up this matter and plant evidence of their betrayal "

Danzo spoke once more "There is another matter at hand, where we will now get the funds to run the country now that the daimyo has died?" Asked Danzo

"Worry not I will personally take care of that matter." finished Naruto.

"Naruto-kun how could you kill the daimyo?" questioned Kurenai in total shock.

Naruto glanced at Kurenai and the rest of the captains, most of them were shaken up by what they've seen Sarutobi remained calm, Danzo was indifferent the rest varied from shock and disbelief to finally acceptance.

"His death was needed, for me to create the world we desire sinful acts must be committed, I must wage war on the other nation, my hands will become contaminated and soaked in blood, in order to achieve peace I must do what must be done, we live in the Shinobi world, and for us to succeed I must become a cold blooded Shinobi. I will do what I must to achieve peace."

Hiashi hesitated for a second and nodded his head "The ends justify the means… ne Emperor-Sama."

"All that matters is results, if I am forced to result to commit atrocious crimes so be it, If need be I will dispose of my humanity if it results in peace." Answered Naruto

"Kakashi Hatake might guy, inform Itachi of what has transpired during this meeting. I'm giving you two the task of protecting and securing Konoha in my absence, Sarutobi you will lead the group of you Kurenai Hiashi and the rebel faction." Naruto gave a brief nod to those who were in the chamber and left.

(Outside Konoha's gates)

Naruto wasted no time and quickly took the trees and dashed to his destination.

(Casino Tsunade POV)

"Yes! that's another win for me Shizune with this much money I will be able to pay all the debts away." Said Tsunade, however she was thinking differently my luck is never this good unless something bad is a bout to happen, well whatever it is I deal with it when it happens.

"Tsunade-sama please let's leave we don't want to lose the 30 million ryo we already made today." Spoke Shizune worriedly.

Tsunade responded quickly "C'mon Shizune stop being so boring I'm on winning streak let me play another hand."

Shizune sighed in defeat "Fine"

"I'm placing 15million ryo on this bet." Spoke a rather young looking man who was wearing a golden cloak with long gold hair.

The cashier looked at the man with suspicion "Do you have that type of money young man?" The man wasted no time and pulled out a suitcase out of a sealing scroll immediately alarms went off in Tsunade heads he must be a ninja a fairly gifted one at that to conceal his chakra so I barely registered him entering the casino.

The tall stranger calmly opened the suitcase to reveal a large gross of money the cashier smiled greedily "Alright let me take that for you and convert it into coins.' Naruto smiled under his disguise. Tsunade eyes narrowed something about this guy rubbed her the wrong way

"I have 15m on this bet as well.' Tsunade said with smirk lets see what this guy got.

Naruto smiled "Ladies first."

Tsunade smiled "Why thank you."

The dealer calmly dealt Tsunade a set of cards and then gave Naruto a set as well. Tsunade showed no emotion on the outside but was inwardly jumping for joy

"Four Queens" this is the best hand I had all day there's no way I can lose "I'll stay I'm good as it is." Spoke Tsunade the dealer turned his attention to Naruto and said "

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm fine as well." Stated Naruto. The dealer nodded and Tsunade smiled and slammed her cards on the table "Four queens read 'em and weep."

She smiled victoriously and placed her hand on the sum of money but it didn't last long.

"My dear that is quite a formidable hand, however the queen stands no chance against the king, four kings." Stated Naruto.

Tsunade was in absolute shock she was completely livid, I just lost 15m I got to get it back "Rematch."

Naruto smiled "So be it."

Fifteen minutes later, Tsunade eyes were the size of saucer. There's no way this kid could beat me this easily, something is just not right here. Tsunade took another glance at Naruto and her eyes narrowed he was using a Genjutsu to cover his feature a weak Genjutsu at that.

Tsunade muttered a quick kai and her eyes widened that's the Rinnegan Tsunade thought now I get it, this kid been using his eyes to remember and predict the cards he will get that cheater Tsunade erupted from her seat and grabbed Naruto roughly from his cloak lifting him up from his seat

"I know how you have been winning."

"Oh and how is that?" asked Naruto

"You've been using your Dojutsu to cheat."

Naruto showed no reaction to statement but asked curiously "So, how is that cheating? Is it cheating for a genius to use his superior mind to memorize the cards of a deck, how is it cheating to use the eyesight I was born with to win?"

Tsunade blinked owlishly the kid had a good point clever bastard

"Besides it is not my fault you didn't catch onto my Genjutsu quick enough to not lose all your money, maybe you should release me. You know in your old age you could easily strain or even pull a muscle."

Tsunade released a dangerous amount of Ki that made all the males shiver and pray for the poor boy's soul he was a walking dead man. "I dare you say that one more time, just one more time."

Naruto cocked his head to the side and said "Did I hit a nerve ... b-aa- ch-an?" enunciating each letter of the word deviously.

Tsunade twitched in anger. "Let's take this outside kid."

Naruto smiled "Lead the way baa-Chan."

Both Shinobi left, Shizune spoke worriedly "Tsunade-Sama please stop he's just a kid, can't we just let it go, beside if you cause anymore damage we will be in a larger debt than we are already are in, if that is at all possible."

"You should listen to your friend baa-Chan. I mean if you are who I think you are you must be rolling in debt, and me beating you won't change that, on second thought it might just help you out, allow me to propose a bet, if you beat me I'll give you all the money I won as of today."

Tsunade eyes widened and then she got a large grin on her face this kid may sound confident but he has no idea who is going against man my luck sure is good today "And what happens if you win?"

"You'll become my loyal subordinate."

Tsunade eyes twitched in anger "You pervert; I'll beat the perversion out of you before it gets too far."

Naruto looked on and said with smug grin "Don't flatter yourself baa-Chan you're like what 50? Besides I already have two girlfriends you're not needed."

This did not appease Tsunade anger in any way in fact it made her angrier "You, you whore, I know your type you use everyone girl you meet and never commit to one."

Naruto sighed "You've got the wrong idea baa-Chan, I'm the last of my clan I'm required to marry multiple brides to ensure that my clan does not meet extinction."

Tsunade scoffed in disbelief "Oh and pray tell what clan do you belong to boy?"

"The Uzumaki clan."

Tsunade responded angrily "Bull shit I know the Uzumaki clan very well I am part Uzumaki myself and there is only one other Uzumaki alive."

Naruto smiled "You correct I am Naruto Namikaze."

Tsunade eyes widened and then narrowed "I'll admit you do look a lot like Minato however I'm not stupid if you're Naruto you should only be 14 by the looks of it your 16 pushing 17."

"If there are techniques to slow down the aging processing wouldn't it only be logical that there are techniques to speed up the process as well." argued Naruto.

Tsunade paused momentarily the kid does have a point and he does look awfully like Minato

"Say I believe you what business do you have with me?"

"Oh I'm pretty sure I told you already, you will become my subordinate." Tsunade roared in laughter "And why on earth would I become the subordinate of anyone bar the Hokage."

Naruto looked on impassively Shizune decided to interrupt "My lady if he is indeed Naruto Namikaze, then he is not only the Hokage but the Daimyo of the fire country."

Tsunade glanced at Naruto and then Shizune in shock "When did this happen?"

Shizune sighed tiredly "I told you this before but I guess you don't remember because your were heavily intoxicated."

Tsunade nodded her head in understanding "Well I must say that is certainly a surprise I can't see sensei handing the title over to you no matter how gifted you might be."

"You misunderstand he did not hand the title over… I took it; I defeated him in a duel for leadership over the village."

Tsunade laughed loudly "There is no way you could have defeated sensei, even I couldn't even do it."

"Indeed you weaker than me that is all." Naruto stated.

Tsunade eyes twitched in anger and her nostrils flared "What did you say brat?"

Naruto spoke calmly "I'm stronger than you Tsunade."

Tsunade nodded her head and took of her coat and said "That's what I thought you said Shizune give me five minutes that's all I'll need to beat this kid."

Shizune sighed but nodded "Okay Tsunade-Sama but if your going to fight can we at least change the location. I don't want to have to pay for any more damages."

Tsunade nodded in agreement "Hey kid follow us and your on. Winning this bet is going to be a piece of cake."

Naruto said nothing but followed the two ladies.

(Sasuke POV)

Both brothers said nothing two one another only staring at each other trying gauge each others reaction.

"Is it true did you kill the clan because you were order to?" Asked Sasuke.

"Hai in order to ensure peace I did what I felt was right."

Sasuke said nothing and his head was cast down allowing his bangs to obscure his vision,

"I see Itachi…. I always thought you were a traitor to the village and that you killed your clan for no reason... I was wrong you were a traitor but not to the village but to the clan you killed mom and dad and the entire clan for the sake of this village you are no brother of mine, you told me to live and grow stronger to kill you. I swear to you Itachi I will be the one to end your life I will kill you and in doing so I will avenge the clan."

With those words Sasuke walked away.

"Sasuke wait"

Sasuke turned and faced Itachi; his eyes were full of hatred "Why,,, if I don't will you kill me too?"

Itachi looked taken back and if you looked close enough you could see he was hurt "I see Sasuke, I can see you will never be able to forgive me. Where will you go if you leave, Naruto will likely kill you."

Sasuke eyes narrowed but he didn't refute Itachi. He's not wrong Naruto was able to defeat the Hokage and by the looks of it he's grown even stronger he's by far my greatest threat at the moment.

"I'm leaving this village I will gain power on my own and when I come back I will destroy you and this village." Sasuke walked away after about 5 meter he turned his head to look at Itachi one last time and with that glance he disappeared with the wind never to be seen again.

Itachi looked on sadly "Forgive me Sasuke however I will not allow you to destroy this village; I will bear your hatred alone."

(Remote location in the woods)

"Hey brat you ready?' asked Tsunade.

Naruto did not respond and calmly launched a kunai at Tsunade with frightening speed.

Tsunade smirked and with great expertise she caught it between her finger she flipped the kunai and threw it at Naruto it went double the speed Naruto threw it.

Naruto calmly tilted his head and allowed the kunai to sail past his head he eyes were trained on Tsunade the whole time.

Tsunade wasted no time and dashed forward with great speed at Naruto, Naruto in response dashed forward as well surprising Tsunade the kids going to try to fight me up close guess he's not as smart as I thought he was.

Tsunade aimed a punch at Naruto's head, Naruto's arm lashed out and grabbed Tsunade by the wrist halting her movement. Tsunade eyes widened in shock.

"You are indeed strong Tsunade however your attack is greatly flawed the technique focuses chakra into the hands of the user, using precise chakra control you releases it with pinpoint timing creating a devastating effect. However, if the attack does not land on solid surface it is render useless."

Could he really have discovered the weakness of my attack with a single glance, I see he is no ordinary kid.

Tsunade in response flexed her hand and broke free of Naruto's grasp she aimed another punch at Naruto and Naruto effectively dodged each of them, however he was not prepared for when Tsunade grabbed the back of his cloak and slammed him into the ground, Tsunade smiled in satisfaction however it did not last long when the Naruto in front of her disappeared in a flock of crows.

Tsunade quickly placed her hand in the ram seal and muttered a small kai, her eyes widened greatly Naruto was charging at her with a ball condescend chakra she knew all to well, she quickly punched the ground with her enhanced strength causing a large fissure to appear in the ground.

Naruto quickly jumped to higher grounds to avoid the attack. Naruto flashed through a chain of seals and shouted

FIRE STYLE: ROAR OF THE FIRE DRAGON a dragon of epic proportion erupted from Naruto's mouth and attacked Tsunade with devastating speed. Tsunade eyes showed no hesitation and with her bare hands she attacked the dragon dispelling the fire.

Naruto followed with another series of seals and yelled

LAVA STYLE : LAVA APPARITION a large wave of lava sprouted from Naruto's mouth and was launched at Tsunade. Tsunade quickly went through a series of hand seal her self and yelled

WATER STYLE : WATER GUN BULLET she sent a large torrent of water at rapid speeds towards the lava, upon contact the lava and the water created an abundance of steam, and after a brief moment the lava subsided and cooled to form new earth.

Tsunade wasted no time and broke through the earth aiming to attack Naruto, her eyes widened greatly when she saw Naruto in the ram seal already finished with his Jutsu

WIND STYLE : GREAT BREAK THROUGH a large gust of wind blasted Tsunade.

Naruto eyes showed brief surprise when Tsunade erupted in a plum of smoke "shadow clone" Naruto questioned surprised .

Naruto allowed his eyes to survey the area she conceals her chakra well even with my Rinnegan. I am unable to detect her presence I guess that only leaves one option I'll have to flush her out.

Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees Trees began to grow on all surfaces in an instant, in a matter of seconds a dense forest of flowering trees bloomed. Pollen was then released into the atmosphere from the flower. Naruto watched patiently for any signs of Tsunade in her hiding spot.

Tsunade was in shock that's Mokuton how does he have it, shit I know this Jutsu that pollen is going to render me unconscious if I don't destroy them soon enough.

Tsunade dashed to the center of the forest and with one devastating punch she destroyed all of trees up rooting all them such terrifying destructive force it seems I'll have to take this a bit seriously thought Naruto impressed by Tsunade's strength.

Tsunade eyes narrowed and were focused solely on Naruto, Naruto however remained impassive to Tsunade's stare and calmly placed his hand in the crossed seal and muttered SHADOW CLONE JUTSU, two clone appeared next to Naruto and immediately went through a series of hand seal and finished in the ram seal both clone inhaled a large quantity of air and yelled FIRE STYLE:GRAND FIREBALL JUTSU unleashing two gigantic balls of fire which combined together to create a larger inferno of flames.

Naruto watched the flames and flashed through his on set of seals and yelled WIND STYLE : GREAT BREAK THROUGH once more.

The wind increased the fire to unbelievable proportions the fire incinerated everything in its path and created a large explosion blasting tree branches everywhere. After a couple seconds the raging fire subsided.

Naruto calmly strolled to where Tsunade was last seen with his shadow clones accompanying him like his bodyguards , he surveyed the vicinity once more and his eyes narrowed there was not a single trace of Tsunade. His eyes widened briefly when he was forced to back flip out of the way to avoid a strike from Tsunade , Naruto inspected Tsunade and to his amazement she was perfectly fine I see... she escaped by attack by jumping over the ball of flames and used the sun to blind my Rinnegan at the same time... Such battle prowess she is indeed of Senju descent.

Naruto nodded to his shadow clone and both clones engaged Tsunade in a fierce Taijutsu battle, The first clone jumped and aimed a round house kick at Tsunade's head, Tsunade reacted quickly and caught the clones leg and in a display of great strength she spun on her heel and tossed the clone at the other clone dispelling both of them.

Tsunade cracked her knuckles "I must say you not half bad brat I almost have a mind to think you beat the old monkey."

Naruto remained unresponsive and pointed his finger at Tsunade.

DESTRUCTIVE ART FOUR: WHITE LIGHTNING a bolt of lightning blasted out of Naruto finger towards Tsunade,

Tsunade reacted quickly and attempted to move the side But Naruto yelled in response Bansho Tenin and aimed his hand at Tsunade's legs forcing her to tilt her body leaving her off balance allowing the beam of lightning to penetrate her in her collar bone.

Tsunade dropped to the floor and clutched her shoulder in pain she looked at her blood Shit what was that just now it felt like I lost control of my body? Thought Tsunade her hand momentarily glowed green and in matter of second when she was fully healed.

She calmly rose to her feat and glared daggers at Naruto "I was going to take it easy on you because your Kushina's kid but because of that last stunt your probably going to die."

Naruto merely rose an eyebrow his eyes widened a fraction when Tsunade raced through a string of seals and bit her thumb and slammed it on the ground yelling SUMMONING JUTSU, in massive plum of smoke Tsunade appeared standing on top Katsuyu the slug queen in all her glory.

Naruto looked on in boredom "I must say that was rather disappointing... what use is a slug in battle?"

Tsunade eyes twitched at the insult "Katsuyu show this brat what your made of."

"Hai Tsunade-Sama" responded Katsuyu , Katsuyu aimed at Naruto and spat a large amount of green liquid at Naruto, Naruto muttered a quick curse and dashed to the left to avoid the glob of acid, "Ha aint so tough now brat."

Naruto glanced up distastefully at Tsunade and spoke solemnly "Forgive me Tsunade but I can't afford to waste any more time on this battle."

"Oh you speak as if you can win even though the odds are stacked against you." said Tsunade smugly.

Naruto closed his eyes for a brief moment leading Tsunade to arch her brows in confusion , Naruto slowly opened his eyes to reveal the legendary Rinnegan once more however something was different about them they radiated with more power and now they were glowing.

Tsunade gasped in shock, Naruto raised his hand and muttered in a monotone drawl SHINRA TENSEI the effect were instantaneous, Katsuyu was blasted 100 meters away eradicating all the trees in the process forcing her to dispel.

Shizune looked on in total shock and disbelief.

Naruto sighed and calmly strode to Tsunade in a matter of minutes Naruto was standing over Tsunade who was currently submerged under a pile of multiple tree's with blood covering her face.

Naruto smirked "Your good Tsunade." And with those words Naruto spun quickly and planted his fist seemingly into nothing but air, slowly the world began to contort and Tsunade was on the other end of Naruto's fist the Tsunade under the pile of trees dissolved away.

Tsunade grunted in pain, Naruto smiled maliciously "It must be humbling for you to be so utterly outclassed by my skill."

Tsunade scoffed and spoke in a rugged breath "Don't get cocky boy this battle is far from over."

Naruto looked on in amusement "And what exactly do you plan on doing in your disheveled state?"

Tsunade smirked and erupted in another plume of spoke Naruto looked on impassively and glanced up at the sky.

"How long will we continue to play this foolish game of hide and seek Tsunade?"

Tsunade from her hiding spot was currently healing her bruised stomach the brat is indeed talented however every Shinobi has a weakness.

Naruto continued strolling around the forest terrain in search of Tsunade. His eye darted to the right and he narrowly avoided Tsunade's fist.

Naruto looked at Tsunade curiously, somethings off... Why would she assault me with another frontal attack? Tsunade launched a quick session of jabs at Naruto and Naruto responded with great flexibility and evaded each and every blow until Tsunade grabbed Naruto's wrist. Naruto's eyes widened momentarily before he quickly schooled his feature "I finally caught you brat." Naruto eyes glazed over when he was shocked with a large volume of electricity.

Naruto spoke dangerously "What have you done women?"

Tsunade smirked even though she was tattered with bruised she managed to put on a weak smile and said "I rearranged the circuits in your body."

Tsunade smiled in victory and attempted to deliver the finishing blow however Naruto spoke once more SHINRA TENSEI.

Tsunade was lifted of her feat and blasted about 15 meters away. Tsunade landed rather gracefully on her feat "I see you are able to use the Jutsu without your hands, however it is significantly weaker when you do so."

Naruto said no words to confirm or deny her claim and continued to look unfazed.

Tsunade dashed forward at Naruto with her hands cocked back once more, Naruto looked on impassively. Tsunade's eyes narrowed how can he still be so calm, Tsunade was about 5 feet away when Naruto finally made his move and calmly spoke his signature Jutsu SHADOW CLONE JUTSU and immediately a clone of Naruto appeared.

Tsunade eyes widened to the size of saucers a shadow clone with out any hand seals?

The clone wasted now time and delivered a perfect sidekick to Tsunade's abdomen sending her sailing away. She fell to the ground with a low thud. Tsunade grunted from her downed position and rose to her feat once more I get it now although he managed to hold his own against me in Taijutsu, but his real strength lies in his Ninjutsu and Genjutsu and right now his only means of defense is that shadow clone. Tsunade cracked her knuckles and slammed her fist with great force into the ground creating a devastating earthquake, Naruto's clone quickly scooped Naruto and dodged the assault

Naruto looked at Tsunade and said confidently "You have reached your limit Tsunade you no longer have any chakra to use, if you continue anymore it will only be harmful to you."

Tsunade looked at Naruto who was currently standing in a tree alongside his clone "I won't give up so easily I'll show how I earned the moniker as the legendary sannin."

Naruto glanced amusedly at Tsunade and then laughed "What so funny brat?"

"You're a fool Tsunade you earned the title sannin because Hanzo took pity on you, in a three on one handicapped battle you were forced to submit and he allowed you to live, you earned your title sannin because you survived against him and he pitied you, that is not an accomplishment to be proud of. It seems I allowed this battle drag out long enough."

Tsunade glanced at Naruto tiredly but with a quick succession of seals Tsunade muttered one last Jutsu

Yin Seal: Release, The diamond on Tsunade's head dissolved revealing markings of some sort.

Tsunade flashed through another seal and yelled Strength of a Hundred Technique, the strange markings on her forehead began to spread throughout her body.

Naruto watched with curiosity allowing her to finish "Are you done Tsunade?"

Tsunade said no words and settled into her fighting stance and fixed Naruto with an intense stare full of complete conviction and determination "The battle starts now."

Naruto shook his head in a negative motion "On the contrary Tsunade this battle is over reign across the frosty heaven Hyorinmaru." An immaculate Zanpakuto formed in Naruto's hand. Naruto calmly dropped from his position in the tree and calmly strode towards Tsunade and spoke SWIFT RELEASE: FLASH STEP.

Tsunade's eyes only saw blood, a large splash of blood erupted in front of her face she looked down only to see a katana protruding from her belly she glanced behind and saw Naruto looking at her I see all this time he was holding back.

"I avoided all your organs this is merely a flesh wound." Naruto gracefully retracted his sword and swiped his blade to remove the blood that once coated it. "

"Is that any way to treat a lady Naruto?" Naruto showed no reaction to the new presence "Grandpa, what are you doing here?" questioned Naruto.

Jiraiya appeared 10 feet away from Naruto and he had a frown upon his face. He spoke in a serious tone" I was on my way to Konoha when I saw a large explosion in this area I decided to go investigate, Naruto what are you doing attacking Tsunade?"

Naruto deactivated his Rinnegan and turned his head towards Jiraiya allowing his cold blues eyes to pierce Jiraiya's soul "Is that how you talk to your leader Jonin?"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto in disbelief "Jonin I'm one of the three legendary sannin" responded Jiraiya.

"The sannin is nothing but a title it is not a rank in all actuality you are nothing but a Jonin and as your emperor you required to follow all my orders."

Jiraiya sighed in defeat "So my Intel was right you managed to defeat sensei in a duel and you're the new Hokage as well as daimyo of the land of fire."

Naruto simply nodded "Grandpa I'm putting a temporary stop on your spy network your are needed in the village, for my upcoming plans."

Jiraiya nodded his head "And what plans are we talking about?"

"In a month Konoha will invade Kiri."

Tsunade and Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock "You can't be serious if we attack Kiri it will unequivocally lead to a fourth great Shinobi war, why are you doing this?"

"Grandpa Do you remember what you told me before you left?

"Huh" Jiraiya intelligently replied.

(Flashback)

Five year old Naruto was currently sitting in a ramen stand accompanied by Jiraiya

"Oh is that Namikaze-Sama my you've grown so big you're a spitting image of our beloved fourth Hokage, we all expect great thing outs of you young man study hard."

Naruto nodded calmly and spoke in stoic voice "Hai."

Jiraiya looked down at Naruto sadly the boy was having to much pressure pressed on him this type of pressure led many Shinobi to crack. Jiraiya smiled and ruffled up Naruto's head

"Now don't go all moody on me Naruto."

Naruto glanced up at Jiraiya and smiled "OK grandpa"

"Hey kid stop calling me grandpa I'm not that at old I don't look a day over 35." Jiraiya spoke with mock anger.

Naruto sighed sadly "OK Jiraiya-san."

Jiraiya look taken back and waved his hand frantically "I was just kidding Naruto you can call me grandpa anytime you want."

Naruto smiled a brilliant smile "OK grandpa."

Jiraiya nodded "Theirs a good boy." Naruto looked down at his bowl dispassionately Jiraiya seemed to notice Naruto's downcast mood "What's the matter brat?"

"Grandpa, why do people die, why do we kill each other?"

Jiraiya showed no emotions it's expected it's only natural for him to want to know the circumstances behind his father death

"Death is an inevitable part of life Naruto. If life didn't have a limit people wouldn't be inclined to live life, now the reason people kill each other is a harder one to explain. People kill each other for different reasons, people sometimes want to protect there precious people and some times it results in killing other people does this make sense to you Naruto?"

Naruto thought about it for second "Hai grandpa, will there be a time when we won't have to kill each other and be able to get along?"

Jiraiya smiled a genuine smile "I hope so, it's said that one day a ninja who wields the sages eyes will bring a massive change in the world that will change ninja world for the better or worse, I believe that you Naruto will be the one to achieve peace."

Naruto eyes widened in surprise "Really grandpa?"

"Of course Naruto I have the utmost faith in you, never forget that I'm always here for you."

Naruto smiled and Jiraiya gave Naruto a hug.

(Flashback end)

"Grandpa I'm going to unite this world under one empire. Once I have achieved my goal the ninja world will fail to exist." Spoke Naruto fiercely.

"You're still a child. Naruto even if you unite everyone through that means that won't necessarily mean that we will come to understand one another" argued Jiraiya.

Naruto nodded his head in understanding "You're correct grandpa that is up to the people of the world, I can not give people the wisdom to accept one another, I'm not God, however I can a least unite them under one force the rest will be up to humanity."

Jiraiya sighed in acknowledgement "I guess its pointless arguing with you Naruto, besides I said I always got your back there's no reason for me to turn now."

"That's what I was counting on Grandpa." Said Naruto with a genuine smile.

Tsunade watch the scene distantly "I guess you won brat, I am a woman of my word I'll follow you."

"Good, from this on you will wear this cloak at all times to distinguish yourselves among other Shinobi's as of now you are my eight captain Tsunade, Jiraiya you will become my Ninth." And with that Naruto pulled out two scrolls out of a summoning pouch

"Hey kid what was that Jutsu you used against me back there I never seen anything like that." Said Tsunade curiously and grumpily.

"Shinra tensei and bansho Tenin are Jutsu provided to me by my Rinnegan it allows me to control gravity and allows me to bend it to my will." Answered Naruto casually.

"We need to travel to the wave country that is where I want Forward Operating Base Alpha setup, Tsunade you will accompany me to the wave country, Jiraiya I need for you to help Danzo set up a defense system for the land of fire with your skills in fuinjutsu, I can think of no better man for the job, after your are finished you are free to leave the village if you want grandpa."

Tsunade nodded Jiraiya slung an arm over Naruto and said jovially "C'mon brat I told you before I'll be here for you, don't expect to bail on you now."

Naruto nodded his head and the group of Shinobi left.

(Walk to the wave country)

"I must say I never expected myself to be on the front lines again. Ah, it brings back memories." Said Sarutobi nostalgically who was currently walking at a steady pace.

"Shouldn't we hurry Sarutobi-san the Emperor said he wanted to set up base in wave country before his arrival?" Questioned Mei.

Sarutobi looked at her and gave her a warm grandfatherly disarming smile "My dear If I know Naruto that won't be possible. He will likely be there before we even make it to the wave village."

"It seems the boy has a problem trusting people." Stated Ao grumpily.

"It's quite possible he does have trust issues, but if you are one the few people Naruto trusts, you wont find a more loyal companion."

Hiashi nodded his head in affirmation "You're quite right Sarutobi-Sama at first I was questionable on following young Naruto's orders, we even butted heads on a few occasion, which resulted badly on my end. However when my daughter was kidnapped he rescued her without a second thought."

"So what type of person is the Emperor?" questioned Mei.

Sarutobi eyes gazed on her and after he saw that she had no malicious intent he answered her "Naruto is a very unique individual, I myself don't have a full understanding on him but he is a good man who means well in his own way."

"Sarutobi-san did the Emperor really defeat you in battle?' Asked Ao heatedly, Kurenai, Hiashi and Sarutobi looked at him suspiciously, but Sarutobi decided to answer "Hai he did so at age thirteen no less."

Ao's eyes widened "Preposterous you are the Kami of Shinobi how could a mere boy defeat you?"

The captains looked at Ao in understanding, all of them didn't believe that Naruto was capable of defeating Sarutobi including Sarutobi himself "It was quite the surprise for me as well, Naruto is a very special individual although he is highly gifted in the art of Ninjutsu and aspects of Shinobi I believe his strength actually lies in his mind, he utterly dominated me throughout the battle he knew all my weakness and effectively used them against me, it was a close battle and he managed to defeat me in the final moments, However that was a while ago there's no doubt in my mind he's managed to get much stronger after that fight, I wouldn't mind having a spar with that man."

Chojuro decided to get in on the conversation as well "Who trained him to be that strong?'

Sarutobi scratched his beard in thought "I'm not actually sure. I'm sure his godfather Jiraiya may have given him tips but I suppose the rest was up to him."

Chojuro looked at Sarutobi in awe "Wait you said Jiraiya, as in Jiraiya of the sannin, that's the Emperor's godfather."

Sarutobi glanced at Chojuro suspiciously he assumed that was common knowledge" Hai Naruto's godfather is Jiraiya."

Mei and Ao both looked particularly surprised at the revelation "And who would his parents be."

Sarutobi said with a smirk "Naruto mother is Kushina the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero the princess of the Uzumaki clan and his father is our late beloved Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze."

Ao Mei and Chojuro eyes bulged out of their sockets, Mei asked another question "Why didn't he say he was a Namikaze all he said was his name was Naruto?"

Sarutobi responded grimly "Naruto is very prideful person he does not like to use his father fame for his own benefit if anything he views it as a curse, as a boy Naruto always held at unreasonably high expectation placed on him by the village and even by myself. I always told Naruto stories of how great his father was and how he had big shoes to fill, Naruto always felt second place to his father he never made friends, many were envious of him because of his great gifts and others were intimated of him because of those same gifts. He never truly knew whether his friends where there for sake of him alone, the top is a lonely place to be, he had a very lonely childhood, It was only bearable because of his godfather who raised him growing up, however that all changed when he left."

Mei and Chojuro looked down sadly "Wow it sounds like he had a rough childhood you would never know when you look at him." Sarutobi nodded in agreement "Yes Naruto tends to keep to himself; he presents himself as a cold and emotionless individual however I believe that there are still remnants of the old Naruto somewhere."

Sarutobi eyes showed no emotion when a large hurricane appeared before him "My my, Emperor-Sama you're are always one for theatrics."

The hurricane eventually died down revealing Tsunade, Naruto and Shizune "It's been a while sensei." Said Tsunade.

"Far to long my dear."

Tsunade enveloped Sarutobi in a father daughter hug.

Naruto watched the scene from afar and then his eyes gazed at the stars "I'm surprised you came back Tsunade." Stated Sarutobi.

"The brat didn't make it easy for me to say no, sensei." Replied Tsunade.

Multiple members gasped when Tsunade called the Emperor brat, however Naruto didn't seem to notice or care for that matter,

"Hmm maybe you should tell the full story Baa-chan." quipped Naruto.

Tsunade eyes twitched in anger and she shook her fist angrily "I told you to stop calling me that brat." Yelled Tsunade.

"I'm not obligated to listen to you Tsunade you on the other hand aren't so lucky." Stated Naruto with a insufferable smirk.

"We will break now and rest, we will move once more in the morning." Ordered Naruto.

The group began to pull out multiple storage scrolls and began to sleep in their bags "Did you forget your bag Naruto-kun I don't mind sharing with you." Answered Kurenai.

Naruto looked at her appreciatively "That is not needed Kurenai."

Naruto went through a few seals drawing everyone's attention Wood Release: Four-Pillar House Technique, in a matter of seconds a house sprouted from the ground. "Well that's convenient" stated Tsunade smartly.

Everyone nodded there head in agreement "There are four rooms, Tsunade, Shizune, Mei will be in room one, Ao , Chojuro , Hiashi will be in room two, Sarutobi you will be in room three, and me and Kurenai will be in room four that is all everyone get some sleep. We move in the morning." Everyone went to there assigned rooms without any arguments.

(The Next Day - Morning)

The group packed quickly and began walking to there destination, only to stop when they noticed a puddle in front of them Naruto hand slashed out with Hyorinmaru held in grasp poised for the kill two ninjas bursted out of the water. "Who are you?" the Meizu and Gōzu brothers asked in unison.

Naruto looked at them and said "Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing."

"You tried to kill us and you don't even know who we are?" asked Meizu.

Naruto retracted his sword and spoke dangerously "Make way now, or die." Both ninjas were about to retort until they saw Naruto's eyes all there words died in their throat and the both of them nodded allowing Naruto passage along with his companions.

(Hideout)

"What do you mean, you let them go?" roared Zabuza.

"Boss there was nothing we could do. He was going to kill us besides he had Sarutobi Hiruzen "Kami no Shinobi" with him and clan head Hiashi Hyuuga and Genjutsu mistress Kurenai ,along Mei Terumi and Ao there were a couple of others we both don't know. Also the way they walked behind him it was evident he was the strongest one out of them."

"Did you say Mei Terumi?"

"Hai boss she was with him" answered Meizu.

"I guess that means she did it, she secured an alliance with Konoha, I guess it's about time for a family reunion."

(Wave country)

The group was currently standing in front of the wave people, the citizen of the wave country all gathered upon Naruto and companies arrival.

"Who is the leader of this village?" questioned Naruto in an authoritative voice

"Die Gato scum" yelled Tazuna who was rushing with what appeared to be some makeshift weapon.

Naruto reacted with swift fluid movements his hand lashed out grabbing the weapon and in the process he use the weapon as leverage and catapulted Tazuna to the ground.

Tazuna looked up to see his own weapon pointed at his gullet he looked on nervously but attempted to put on a brave face in front of his people.

Naruto eyes showed no mercy at Tazuna and he spoke dangerously "Those who attack me are usually met with certain death however you intrigue me old man, why is it you attack me?"

Tazuna looked at Naruto suspiciously "Are you not one of Gato's men?"

Naruto shook his head dismissively "I'm here on different matters I'm here to set up base here for my upcoming plans that is all."

Tazuna's eyes widened and nodded "I'll let you set up what ever you want here if you help protect our village against Gato and kill him, by the way you just defeated me it would be no problem for you."

Naruto showed no emotions and spoke calmly "You have no power to suggest such a deal, what prevents me from simply using force."

Tazuna eyes showed worry "Please help us Gato is a horrible man please stop his rule. I know I have no right to ask this off you but please grant this old man this one wish."

Naruto nodded his head in understanding "I understand your dilemma however I cannot help you."

Tazuna looked at Naruto in shock "What do you mean, with your skills it wouldn't be hard for you to kill Gato."

Naruto nodded his head in agreement 'Indeed that poises no problem however, if Gato should die what would prevent another tyrant from doing the same as he did, you people lack heart and will. That is something I cannot just hand to you, you must find it on your own however I will protect this village while we setup base the rest is up to you and your people."

Tazuna "That's fair enough you can come this way I have a house in the back where you can plan your whatever.'

Naruto and the group followed.

(Tazuna's house.)

"Oh it seems we have company, well good morning my name is Tsunami I'm Tazuna daughter."

Naruto gave her a warm smile and spoke in a diplomatic tone "We thank you for allowing us to use your home."

Tsunami giggled and waved him off.

"oh, Its our pleasure, please make yourself feel at home."

The group sat down and Naruto made a table sprout out of the ground which shocked Tazuna to no ends "Zabuza what is the landscape of the Kirigakure, and what battle formation do you use?'

Zabuza gave Naruto a thoughtful look and spoke in a serious tone "Kiri as you know is surrounded by many bodies of water however it also is surrounded by a mountainous terrain that creates a "C" shape on the land, it's impossible to climb by any means due to the moisture that surrounds the terrain so we only have one area to attack from, also the Kiri ninja follow a pretty basic formation each swordsmen controls his own section of the army the rest of that is pretty basic. The Mizukage sends each battalion from then as of now he only has four swordsmen."

Naruto nodded his head "Hiashi send word to your clan they will be the focal point of our attack, along with Kiri rebel faction."

Hiashi eyes nodded and flashed through a few Jutsu and sent a messenger pigeon to Konoha.

Naruto refocused onto the map "It's likely that the Mizukage will send his strongest Shinobi as a way to completely decimate your faction as of now he has no knowledge of us assisting you, so it is likely the first swordsmen to make contact will be the strongest and that is Mangetsu Hōzuki. What can you tell me about him Zabuza."

Zabuza gave Naruto his complete attention spoke in a grim voice "Mangetsu Hōzuki is a highly gifted Shinobi he was able to master and use each blade of the seven swordsmen. His prowess in water Ninjutsu rivalsand perhaps even surpasses that of your second Hokage, and on top of that he uses his clan's Ninjutsu that makes him invulnerable to all physical attacks, it is also stated that Genjutsu is also useless against him.'

Naruto nodded his head at the information "Sarutobi I will task you in defeating this man , Hiashi you and your clan's priority will be in negating the effect of there water Ninjutsu you will be the long range support with your Byakugan you will be able to see the battle field even from your distance and effectively counter against them. The rebel faction will be in charge of close combat due to the fact they understand the terrain better, they will be less likely to succumb to guerrilla warfare tactics, Ao Chojuro and Mei will be in charge of that unit. Tsunade you will be the medic of the entire squadron. Kurenai I task you with protecting Tsunade, Tsunade is the only medic the entire alliance has if she were to die it will result in our loss in this war."

Sarutobi gazed at Naruto in amazement that was a brilliant plan and an ingenious way to use the Hyuuga Byakugan I must say Naruto you continue to surprise.

"And what will I be doing?" asked Zabuza.

"You have one of the more important tasks Zabuza you will not be assigned to any one squadron your task will be to aid each and all of them you will be the leader on the floor and assist those on the battlefield. You know the terrain better than any of us, being a former member of seven swordsmen."

Zabuza nodded in understanding "And what will you be doing?"

Naruto continued to look at the map with great interest "The Mizukage will not make an appearance until he feels that he may loose the battle I will arrive then. I will be the ace in the hole."

Mei looked at Zabuza and Naruto in awe it seemed both men got over there previous encounter.

(Flashback)

Naruto and the crew continued their journey to wave country. With a quick succession of Shunshin Zabuza Meizu and Gōzu and Haku appeared. Naruto looked at the group distastefully "I see you did not heed my warning."

Naruto attempted to pull his katana only to be stopped when Zabuza waved his hand in front of himself in a disarming manner "We're not here to fight kid, I'm only her to see Mei." Naruto glanced at Mei and said "You know this man?"

Mei answered normally "Hai he is my brother he is another member of our army."

Naruto glanced back at Zabuza and said in an amused tone "I cannot say I see the family resemblance."

Zabuza gave a sinister grin "We have different mothers we're half siblings."

Naruto nodded in understanding "I take it you're here to help the cause."

Zabuza nodded his head "Hai I plan to kill the Mizukage you guys will be in charge of taking out the army, don't get in my way and things will work out good for the both of us." Stated Zabuza with a bloodthirsty razor-sharp grin.

Naruto showed no emotions and said calmly "How do you plan on defeating the Mizukage Zabuza demon of the bloody mist."

Zabuza smirked "Ho ho ho, I see you know of me… simple really I'm going to carve him in two with my Kubikiribōchō" Zabuza finished with cruel grin and thumped his trusted blade proudly .

Naruto nodded once more and said in a serious tone "You will surely die."

Zabuza eyes narrowed "What did you say kid?"

Naruto replied in his same calm demeanor "Zabuza-san you don't have the power necessary to defeat the Mizukage, at your current level of power.. you will surely die."

Zabuza quickly unsheathed his Kubikiribōchō "I dare you to say that again brat."

Naruto flared his chakra to insane levels gold chakra began to swirl around him the power glowed intensely and blasted its way to the sky. The power was so oppressing that it completely immobilized Zabuza leaving him in a catatonic state. Everyone could feel the chakra, they felt the strain under Naruto's oppressive chakra, Zabuza was fearing the worst he glanced at Naruto and could only make out a salute of a man and golden eyes Staring back at him.

Zabuza dropped to both knees and his blade feel to the ground in front of him "You are no demon Zabuza, I have seen the eyes of a demon you are a mere human who has lost his way. You will soon learn your place, should you raise your blade at me again Zabuza I will personally be your guide to the after life. Do we understand each other?"

Zabuza was unable to form any words and merely nodded.

Naruto released his chakra and walked passed Zabuza and continued to his destination. Zabuza collapsed to the ground, sweat marring every ounce of his body

Haku quickly ran to Zabuza's side and asked in worry "Are you alright Zabuza-Sama?"

Zabuza nodded his head albeit tiredly that kid is scary

Zabuza glanced at the captains and he saw sympathy on most of there faces, they too followed Naruto leaving Zabuza with the Kiri faction "Sis what's with that kid?"

Mei looked at Zabuza and said "I'm not sure all we know so far is that he's the son of the fourth Hokage and is insanely strong."

"Tch that's and understatement sis, that amount of chakra shouldn't be possible for any human." Said Zabuza

(Flashback end)

"In a matter of seven days we will launch an attack against Kiri, mobilize the troops to this position I have business I must take care of Zabuza come with me." Zabuza got up with out a word and followed Naruto and left.

"What do you think that's about?" asked Tsunade

"You never know with Naruto?" Said Sarutobi

"What did you want with me?" asked Zabuza

"I want the location of Gato's base, we will set up our base there, there is no need to bring these people into our war."

Zabuza nodded "His base is not that far from here I will lead the way." Naruto nodded his head and followed Zabuza to the destination.

(Gato's Base)

Boom Zabuza blasted the door open with his Kubikiribōchō. Naruto stood at Zabuza's side and watched on calmly when multiple thugs crowded the mansion surrounding the duo, they were wielding various weapons ranging from katana to oddly shaped scythe and kunai.

Naruto asked in calm cool indifferent voice "Where is Gato?"

"As if we'd tell you kid." Spoke a random thug.

Naruto nodded his head he predicted that sort of response. A blood thirsty grin adorned Zabuza's features "I guess you are of no use to us then." And with those words Zabuza slashed down the thug with lightning speed "Hey Emperor lets see who can kill the most. That's already one for me." Zabuza shortly began to make quick work of the thugs hacking and decimating each thug ruthlessly without a shred of compunction. Zabuza paused momentarily to see Naruto standing in the same position with his eyes closed what's he doing?

"Whatever emperor that's already 57 for me at this rate you'll never catch up."

"Is that so?" questioned Naruto,

Naruto slowly opened his eyes to reveal the mythical Rinnegan, he spoke fluidly

Shinra tensei all the remaining thugs were killed leaving Zabuza gaping like a fish out of water. "I believe I've won Zabuza" stated Naruto.

Zabuza blinked owlishly "Yeah I guess you did."

"What's with all the ruckus, what are you doing Zabuza killing my men you still work for me you baka!." Yelled Gato.

Zabuza shook his head "Sorry Gato I'm under new management."

"Is it the kid next you, he doesn't look so tough, but whatever I'll pay you whatever you want kid just work for me and clean this mess."

Naruto looked at Gato with a smile "Of course Gato."

Bansho Tenin

Gato was lifted of his feet and pulled into Naruto's palm.

Gato's eyes widened in fear his feet weren't touching the ground he made a fatal mistake in looking into Naruto's unforgiving cold eyes.

Naruto's eyes began to swirl "You will hand over all your money, investments, stock, shipping, management, company, resources, land and everything you own to me." Gato nodded.

Naruto released Gato and Gato began to walk to vault and began punching in the code after a couple of seconds he pulled multiple documents and handed all them over to Naruto "As of know you own Gato corp. and all proprieties."

Naruto smiled "Very good Gato for your cooperation, I'll give you a quick painless death."

Naruto decapitated Gato with a katana that was lying on the floor "You are not worthy to die by my blade," Spoke Naruto.

Naruto looked at the bodies that marred the floor in distaste FIRE STYLE: FIRE BALL Jutsu all the bodies began to burn leaving only ash and blood in there place.

"Zabuza clean up this mess."

Zabuza flashed through his own set of hand seal WATER STYLE: VIOLENT WATER SHOCK WAVE a large torrent of water erupted from Zabuza's mouth quickly washing the floors that were once coated in blood.

Naruto looked on impassively and went through one seal

Shadow clone Jutsu five clones shimmered to existence "Disarm any and all traps that may be in this mansion" order Naruto.

The clones nodded and disappeared without a word "Zabuza go inform the group of our new living arrangement and bring Gato's body to wave country tell them its token of my appreciation for there hospitality." Zabuza nodded and left with the body.

(One Week Later)

"Mei you and the rebel faction move North straight into the Main Gates of Kirigakure," Order Naruto.

"Hai," responded Mei.

"Hiashi, take your clan and the bulk of the rebel faction to your assigned posts."

"Hai, my lord," said Hiashi.

"As for you Sarutobi and the rest of you, you know your orders."

"Understood, my lord," replied Sarutobi and other members of the coalition forces.

"In that case, Captains, headsets on and move out!" Order Naruto with the utmost authority. With that all the captains and their respected units moved out to their given positions and Naruto slowly rose into the sky.

(Battle Begins)

"Stop and lay down your weapons now!" yelled a Kiri Ninja before being struck down with a kunai.

"Kiri Ninja's defend the main gates!" Yelled another Kiri Ninja that looked as if he was a commander of some sort. With that the battle of Kirigakure commenced.

War quickly ensued ninja's began to shoot various Jutsu at one another, blood was quickly spewed on the ground. Shinobi began dying left and right., panic and mayhem broke out throughout the whole village.

(With the Kiri Boarder Commander)

"Sir, orders from the Mizukage. He says he is sending Raiga Kurosuki and Mangetsu Hōzuki to aid us in this battle. He also says that we are not to allow any rebel faction members to survive this battle," stated a Kiri Messenger to the Kiri Commander.

"Understood, tell each unit to stand their ground and push the rebels back."

"Hai," replied the Kiri Messenger before Shunshining away.

(With Mei and the Rebel Faction)

"Naruto, the Kiri Ninjas are making an attempt to overrun our position," spoke Mei through her headset.

"Good, proceed to Phase 2. Tell your forces to retreat. Make sure the Kiri-nin take the bait," replied Naruto through the headset.

"Hai," said Mei before turning her attention to her troops. "All units retreat to point alpha, move now I will cover your retreat."

LAVA STYLE: LAVA GLOBS yelled Mei sending a multiple globs of lava which successfully hit multiple Kiri Shinobi "Fuck you Kekkei Genkai wielding freak." Yelled the Kiri Nin in agony.

The Kiri Nin who weren't hit the blast quickly charged Mei with multiple kunai and yelled in anger "Die you whore." Mei reacted with grace and flashed through a set of seals and calmly said Boil release: Skilled Mist Technique, sending a wave of acidic gas.

Multiple Kiri nin paid no attention to the mist and ran through "What the fuck is this my skin is burning!" yelled a Kiri nin in disbelief and pain, the wise Kiri nin fled the mist and yelled WIND STYLE: GREAT BREAK Through immediately the deadly gas was dispersed.

The Kiri nin didn't let up and ran through another string of seals and yelled WATER STYLE: 100 SERPENT'S STRIKE multiple snake shot out from the water at Mei, Mei showed no hesitation and yelled with a quick succession of seals FIRE STYLE: FIRE BALL JUTSU , the ball of fire and snake hit each other simultaneously creating a volume of steam Mei smirked that should be enough time and with that she used the mist as means for her escape.

"Where did that bitch go?" Yelled a random Kiri Nin.

(With Naruto)

"Perfect it's all going as planned," muttered Naruto to himself. "Hiashi prepare your forces to move. I will signal you when to move," said Naruto via headset.

"Hai, but what is the Signal," questioned Hiashi.

"You will know when the time comes. Naruto out." finished Naruto but soon after started speaking again. "Sarutobi, proceed to the rendezvous point with Mei, you know what to do."

"Understood, my lord." replied Sarutobi via headset from his undisclosed location.

(In the Mizukage's Tower)

"Mizukage-Sama, the rebels are retreating out into the country. Raiga Kurosuki and Mangetsu Hōzuki along with their battalions have joined our boarder Ninjas and are aiding them to crush the Rebel Forces," said a Kiri Commander.

"Petty rebels. Defeated so easily. Commander issue an order, make sure that those rebels are crushed under any means necessary. Tell Raiga Kurosuki and Mangetsu that they are part of the Seven Swordsmen for a reason and that I expect nothing less than total victory and an end to this Civil War." Spoke the Mizukage.

"Hai, my liege," said the Kiri Commander who then left to deliver the message.

(With Mei)

"Oh good you've made it Mei," said a rebel faction member.

"Well of course I made it," replied Mei before issuing a new set of orders. "Everyone this is as far as we go dig in and hold your ground there won't be any backup or reinforcements for us. This is where we finally end this war!"

"End this war? Yes, but you won't be apart of the victors. You and your group of traitors will die right here," interrupted Mangetsu.

"Well I see he was right, the Mizukage did send only his best," replied Mei.

"And by 'He' you mean?" questioned Mangetsu.

"That doesn't matter now; all that matters is that you die." Countered Mei.

"And you are the one's going to kill us?" asked Raiga sarcastically.

"No, unfortunately, that'd be me." Said Sarutobi appearing from what seemed to be nowhere.

"Sarutobi, this battle does not concern Konoha nor you." retorted Mangetsu in outrage.

"But you are mistaken, these Rebels are Konoha's allies."

"What?! Konoha dares to go to war with Kirigakure? You send word to the Mizukage that Konoha is attacking along with the Rebels…now!" Roared Mangetsu to a Kiri Nin.

WOOD RELEASE: TEN THOUSAND ROOTS, roared Naruto Namikaze from a location in the sky not visible with the naked eye. Suddenly Thousands of roots as thick as three men grew from the ground in both directions, cutting of any route of retreat for the Kiri Ninjas.

"Well then, looks like we have time to kill." Said Mei with a wicked smile.

(With Hiashi)

"All Units, that's the sign. Move in on the village while the Kiri-nin are blocked!" Ordered Hiashi.

"Tsunade, I know Naruto said you won't be doing much, but we could use your destructive power to destroy the main gates."

"I was thinking you'd never ask."

Tsunade nodded her head towards Hiashi and flexed her arm with one mighty punch the Main gates were blasted of there hinges.

Tsunade narrowly dodged a kunai from a Kiri Shinobi, she reacted by sending a thunderous punch to the ground the effect were instantaneous a mighty fissure carved the ground leaving many Kiri Nin to plummet to there deaths.

"Fall back lady Tsunade we will take it from here." said Hiashi

Tsunade nodded and jumped to rear with Kurenai right behind her. Water style: Water Dragon bullet yelled multiple Kiri Nin, sending multiple water blast at the Hyuuga clan The Hyuuga responded with great ease WATER STYLE: UZUMAKI SECRET SUPREME DRAGON'S RAGE.

One mighty behemoth of a dragon rose from the sea the size of Gamabunta, The dragon let out a piercing roar and attacked the Kiri ninjas with one feel swoop drowning multiple of them however the dragon did not vanish. The Hyuuga continued to hold the ram seal allowing the mighty dragon to remain in existence, The Kiri Shinobi's responded with an attack of their own they all went through a long winded series of hand signs and all finished at the ram seal simultaneously

WATER STYLE: WAVE OF A THOUSAND TIDES. A wave of mighty proportions rose dwarfing the dragon in comparison,

The Hyuuga quickly flared the chakra to increase the dragon's size but it was no match for the wave, the wave continued to grow in size. "Now " yelled the Kiri Shinobi sending the massive tide at Konoha and rebel alliance.

The Hyuuga clan looked on with worry WATER STYLE: WATER BULLET JUTSU yelled Zabuza blasting multiple Kiri Shinobi quickly dispelling the Jutsu "Attack now these Kiri nin are highly gifted at Ninjutsu but there Taijutsu hardly compares we strike now." Roared Zabuza.

The Hyuuga clan all nodded and charged the Kiri Shinobi with Hiashi and Zabuza leading the charge.

(With the Mizukage)

"Mizukage-Sama, the Village has been infiltrated. Hundreds of rebels are flooding in through the Main Gate." Said a Kiri Messenger.

"Then stop them, how many could it be!" Yelled the Mizukage.

"Sir, they are accompanied by what appears to be Konoha Shinobi. The Captains to be specific." Replied the Messenger.

"Ca-aptains?! As in the Fire Country Supreme Emperor's Court Guards?

"Hai." Replied the Nin solemnly.

"Get word to all Ninjas in the village as well as too all to my Swordsmen. And get Raiga and Mangetsu back in the village they should've finished those Rebels off by now." Roared the Mizukage. What is the Emperor doing with his Captains in my Village?!

(With Naruto in the Skies above Kirigakure)

"All according to plan." stated Naruto with a smirk.

"Sarutobi, Decimate those Kiri-nin. Hiashi, Continue deeper into the village, stay in groups.

Tsunade, Heal the wounded and Kurenai watch her back." Ordered Naruto. Your Turn, Mizukage.

(Mizukage's Tower)

"Where the hell is Raiga and Mangetsu?" Roared the Mizukage.

"Sir, we received word that they are still out in the Country fighting the Rebels who have been aided by Sarutobi "Kami no Shinobi," Replied the Kiri Messenger.

"Why? I ordered them back to the village to cut down the invading Rebels and Konoha-nin."

"Sir, they have been blocked by what seems to be Tree roots. It extends to the East and West half a mile in each direction."

"What about Jinpachi and Jinin? Where are they?"

"Sir, they are currently fighting off Rebel Faction members in the neighborhoods surrounding the Main Gate."

"Commander evacuate the village, we're going to have a little fun. You, fetch my staff and assemble my guards. We leave at once." Finished the Mizukage.

(Naruto vs. Mizukage)

The Mizukage quickly made his appearance and slashed all the rebel and Konoha nin alike with relative ease.

The Mizukage quickly caught sight of Hiashi Hyuuga I see the Konoha Shinobi have indeed sided with the rebel so be it they will die along side them as well.

The Mizukage raced at Hiashi with the intent of killing him , Hiashi failed to notice Mizukage in time however it was not needed Zabuza appeared out of nowhere with his Kubikiribōchō in the defensive opposition and managed to block Yagura's strike. Yagura spoke coldly "I see you've return Zabuza, I'm must say I never expected you to show your face after your betrayal."

Zabuza grunted from his defense position 'I did what I felt was right mindlessly killing our people is wrong and foolish ."

Yagura eyes showed no mercy and with a quick spin, he deflected Zabuza's blade pushing it upward and got behind Zabuza and stabbed him from behind with his Staff Zabuza eyes widen " I see, he was right I never thought the difference in our power would be so great.'"

Yagura pulled out his staff distastefully "Worthless fool, you sided with them instead of me and died with dishonor."

"Naruto the Mizukage has arrived," stated Hiashi grimly through the headset.

A bolt of lightning streaked to the ground blasting multiple of ninjas away creating a blinding light forcing everyone to shield there eyes. As soon as the light died standing in all his glory was Naruto with his Rinnegan displayed at full force.

Yagura showed no fear and spoke smoothly "I see you've finally arrived Emperor forgive me but I had to dispatch of a few traitors of mines. You now have my undivided attention."

Naruto looked at Zabuza deceased body in sympathy your death will not be in vain.

Naruto spoke aloud, "Hiashi pull out and rendezvous with Mei and Sarutobi. This battle has no room for anyone but me and the Mizukage."Hiashi nodded grimly and gathered the remaining forces.

"So you have been the man behind the curtain. Pulling all the strings of this battle. I knew mere rebels could not concoct such an intricate plan." Stated the Mizukage.

"Indeed you are correct." Replied Naruto.

"Care to explain how you came up with such an underhanded battle plan?"

"It was simple; I relied on your arrogance and eagerness to win. I assumed you would send your strongest commanders to decimate the Rebel Faction and with your two strongest Commanders out of the way, you have lost this war." Explained Naruto.

"What will you do now? Your village has lost its two remaining commanders and now you are all that's left." With that the Mizukage quickly looked both to his left and right to notice that Jinin and Jinpachi had been indeed slain.

"Hahahaha. Lost? I believe you're mistaken. I'm the Mizukage, my power is unmatched and I will crush all of you, it's there fault they died, allowing such weak rebels to do them in… disgraceful." Said Yagura in disgust with those words the Mizukage charged at Naruto with blinding speed.

With his staff poised for the kill Naruto reacted quickly and Hyorinmaru quickly formed in Naruto's hand. Naruto quickly deflected Yagura's strike and aimed a horizontal slash at Yagura's head, Yagura reacted quickly and dodged under the strike he quickly lunged his staff at Naruto's abdomen.

Naruto eyes narrowed he quickly grabbed the staff preventing any damage and lashed out with a viscous kick at Yagura's head send him sailing way Yagura landed gracefully and calmly wiped the trail of blood that leaking out his mouth.

Yagura instead of looking worried from the previous attack Yagura had an insane grin on his face "Yes, yes this is going to be indeed an entertaining battle make me feel alive." Roared Yagura with his staff poised for battle once more.

Yagura disappeared with great speed and appeared hovering over Naruto with an over head strike. Naruto quickly jumped back to avoid the attack, Yagura slammed his staff into the ground creating a fairly large crater on impact. Yagura wasted no time and jumped once more at Naruto and swung his staff in an vertical slash, Naruto reacted fluidly and calmly tilted his body to one side allowing the staff to sail past him harmlessly. Yagura spun on his heal and launched his staff with rapid succession at Naruto's head, Naruto once more showed no fear and reacted with the grace of expert swordsmen without using his blade Naruto continued to avoid all slashes and attacks from Yagura.

Yagura however was not one to be denied and launched an extremely fast strike at Naruto's head forcing Naruto to jump to the sky to avoid the attack.

Yagura quickly followed and lunged with his staff at Naruto, Naruto retaliated by blocking with his Zanpakuto, his face remaining impassive.

However Yagura had an insane smile the two were in a deadlock for a few seconds until Naruto quickly went on the offensive and used his superior strength he deflected his blade upwards leaving Yagura open Naruto calmly slashed Yagura with a right to left strike,

Yagura eyes showed brief worry but he reacted with great creativity and managed to grab Naruto's hand at the last movement and jumped over the blade to avoid damage Yagura's leg lashed out with a viscous kick however Naruto used his left hand to catch the kick but Yagura was not done and used his remaining leg to send another kick at Naruto's face. Naruto used Yagura's own leg and managed to block the kick. Yagura grunted in pain but reacted with a move of his own with lightning fast reflexes Yagura let go of Naruto's sword at Spun in the air horizontally breaking free of Naruto's grasp and while in mid flight he planted a solid kick at Naruto's chest sending Naruto sailing away.

Naruto skidded a couple of meters away before Yagura even landed on the ground Naruto stabbed his sword into the ground a threw a lone Shuriken and raced through a string of hand seals Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique the lone multiplied into hundreds of Shurikens.

Yagura responded expertly and blocked and evaded all of the Shurikens, however Naruto did not wait patiently while all this was going on and he immediately pointed his finger at Yagura and stated calmly DESTRUCTIVE ART FOUR: WHITE LIGHTNING, a bolt of lightning blasted out of Naruto's finger at Yagura with frightening speed Yagura however managed to tilt his staff to deflect the blast in the nick of time. Naruto once more went through a series of hand signs and yelled

FIRE STYLE: GRAND FIRE BALL JUTSU sending a large ball of flames Yagura's way. In response Yagura yelled his own Jutsu in response

Water Release: Water Mirror Technique a mirror about 5 feet in diameter appeared and to Naruto's immense surprise a clone of Naruto stepped out the mirror and went through a familiar set of seals and launched a fire ball Jutsu equivalent to what Naruto recently used.

The two fireball created a large explosion upon contact. Black smoke covered the whole landscape. Naruto flashed through a series of Hand seals and yelled WIND STYLE GREAT BREAK THROUGH the smoke all began to disperse, Naruto eyes narrowed Yagura was no where insight, He quickly turned and managed just in the nick of time to block a strike from Yagura, Yagura eyes showed brief surprise "You're pretty good Emperor I wasn't expecting you to block."

Naruto said nothing and merely jumped away from Yagura and flashed through a set of seals

LAVA STYLE: LAVA TIDE a large wave of lava spewed out of Naruto's mouth, Yagura then performed his own array of seals Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique the moisture from the air began to condense at a rapid rate forming large vortex of water in front of Yagura the water quickly increased to unbelievable portion and blasted the lava quickly diverting the lava's trajectory.

Yagura wasted no time and ran through another string of seals Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death Using the moisture that surround the area and the vast amount of water nearby Yagura created multiple needles that easily surpassed the thousands and with a wave of his hand the needles were sent at Naruto with alarming speed, Naruto looked on impassively and flashed though his own seals FIRE STYLE : FIRE VORTEX a vortex made of pure fire erupted from the ground creating a barrier around Naruto, the water upon contact began to evaporate until the needles were no more.

Naruto's vortex deactivated in the response.

Naruto was forced to block with his Zanpakuto once more when Yagura appeared in front of him with an overhead slash.

The duo engage in another fierce Kenjutsu battle going at insane speeds sparks of metal were the only things that were visible the two broke apart after a long winded session both of them were sporting a few cuts nothing to serious though.

Naruto eyes showed brief worry, when all of Yagura's cuts began to heal "You see you can't win. I can do this all day and not get tired you on the other are not so lucky."

Naruto said no words and flashed through a long chain of hand seal WIND STYLE: DIVINE WIND the cloud began to darken the sky and multiple tornadoes began to form and they began to destroy everything in there path.

Yagura looked on in shock he quickly began to jump around and avoid each of the tornadoes path.

Naruto looked on with an empathetic gaze and muttered another Jutsu FIRE STYLE: DRAGON FLAME BLITZ

Naruto spat out multiple dragons of blue flames with rapid speed, The dragon combined with the tornadoes to create huge firestorms, which blazed the entire arena destroying houses leaving the ground scattered with scorch marks.

Naruto had a smirk upon his face no human alive could have survived that technique, Naruto turned his head and began to walk only to stop when the wall of flames suddenly disappeared

Yagura was standing in and oddly shaped cloak with two tail sporting from his body.

Naruto's eyes narrowed this is what Kurama-sensei must of have been speaking about, jinchūriki have the power to use there associated bijū's power

Swift release: flash step

Naruto calmly muttered a column of gold chakra swirled around Naruto's body.

Naruto eyes were set on Yagura with full concentration Kurama informed that a jinchūriki's power are greatly enhanced once he is in his biju state from here on I cannot take any chances.

Yagura vanished with great speed the area he was once standing was destroyed from his insane burst of speed. Naruto began to dodge and evade each of Yagura strikes with great difficulty "Ha-ha I told you emperor you cannot compare to the power of a biju all inevitably fall to my might."

Naruto eyes showed nothing and Naruto spoke in a solemn tone

Shinra tensei Yagura was immediately blasted away however that did not last long and an arm sprouted from Yagura's back cushioning his fall Naruto was gazing at Yagura with full intent although he never managed to hit me I still suffered burns because of the close proximity, I won't be able to keep up swift release for much longer either, I'll have to finish this battle quickly

Naruto eyes began to leak with blood and Naruto spoke in a monotone voice

Amaterasu gold flames began to erupt on Yagura's body and Yagura began to roar and thrash in displeasure. Naruto dropped to one knee in pain although I don't suffer the normal effect of this Jutsu, it is still a painful Jutsu to use. Yagura slowly began to get up the wounds that once adorned his body were perfectly healed "I must say that did hurt, and in return I I'll greet you with the same hospitality you've shown me." Yagura launched at Naruto with unbridled speeds his hand was cocked ready to deliver a devastating blow. Naruto looked on impassively his eye showed only resolve immediately a skeleton vertebra formed around Naruto he calmly muttered Susanoo

Yagura slammed into Naruto with great force smashing Naruto into the ground Naruto showed no signs of pain and slowly got up however he didn't not get to stay on his feet for long. Yagura launched another attack pinning Naruto into a wall Naruto eye showed brief worry when Susanoo, began to crack I see I have not quite mastered this Jutsu, it is time.

With those thoughts Susanoo broke and Yagura finally broke free "I did it I killed the emperor" yelled Yagura with a insane glee however Yagura joy quickly vanished when he felt a tingle sensation on his outreached hand he heard a faint Bankai and was immediately blasted to the other side of the field.

Naruto was encased in a dome of ice, the ice began to break apart to reveal a perfectly fine Naruto in his Bankai mode Naruto began to release an insane amount of chakra the arena slowly began to cover itself in a thick sheet of ice until the whole village was encased in ice. Naruto looked at Yagura's downed form iwithh distaste "Be proud you have forced me to release my Bankai, you will die with that honor."

"Silence fool "yelled Yagura in his biju state.

Yagura quickly rose to his feet and charged Naruto faster then ever. Naruto flew at Yagura with equivalent speed both arrived At each other at the same time Naruto yelled Dragon Hail Flower and managed to pierce Yagura in his bijū's state a huge burst of ice erupted from Yagura encasing and freezing him. Naruto looked at Yagura's frozen state in satisfaction 'Its finally over."

(With Sarutobi)

"What will you do now Mangetsu now that your comrade has perished" spoke Sarutobi in his usual composted state.

Mangetsu looked at Raiga deceased body in disgust Raiga you fool you've gone and gotten yourself killed, I won't be able reach Yagura now.

Mangetsu craned his neck hearing a stratifying pop he rolled his shoulders and look at Mei and Sarutobi and said "You shouldn't speak so confidently Sarutobi you've yet to deal any damage throughout the whole fight besides Raiga was slowing me down now that I don't have to continue to protect him, I can final let go."

Mangetsu placed his hand in the ram seal and calmly muttered Hiding in Mist Technique using the abundant water vapor that surround the village a looming mist encased the whole battle field "Do you still believe you can defeat me Sarutobi." Mangetsu voiced echoed throughout the whole mist Sarutobi eyes showed no worry and he spoke fluidly "Mei-San we will need to work together to defeat this foe."

Mei gave a Sarutobi a barely perceptible nodded, The two nin waited patiently for Mangetsu to strike, but they didn't wait long, when Mangetsu appeared behind Sarutobi and quickly beheaded him, the Sarutobi immediately fell apart revealing itself to be a mud clone Mangetsu eyes narrowed in anger . Sarutobi appeared behind Mangetsu and calmly muttered

FIRE STYLE: FIRE DRAGON FLAME BOMB unleashing an inferno of blazing hot flames from Sarutobi mouth at Mangetsu. Mangetsu was blasted by the Jutsu his body was revealed to be in a water like state completely unharmed "You don't get it Sarutobi, my hydration technique allows my body to remain in a water like state as long as I have enough water to sustain the Jutsu and just look around with this amount of water I'm completely invulnerable to all your attacks you cannot win!"

(Back with Naruto and Yagura)

"What's finally over emperor?" asked Yagura in his iced form.

Naruto looked at Yagura with brief shock, Yagura unleashed a large burst of chakra quickly blasting the ice dome that once encased him. Yagura reacted with great ease and plunged his fist into Naruto's gut puncturing a whole in Naruto's stomach.

Yagura smiled in satisfaction Naruto eyes widen and looked at Yagura's arm in total shock. Yagura looked at Naruto's face in utter joy and glee. However it was cut short when Naruto began to break apart revealing him to be an ice clone. Yagura turned his head to see Naruto standing patiently behind with a bored look.

Who does he think he is with that look of superiority, does he dare look down upon me?

Yagura began to unleashing viler chakra and he slowly levitated from the ground and in a massive explosion Yagura appeared in his full biju state.

Naruto looked on Yagura no the biju with cold indifference anymore damage to this village and it will be beyond repair I must finish this now

The cloud began to darken in response to Naruto's Chakra. Yagura began to raise his chakra as well and a ball of condense energy began to form in front his mouth Naruto eyes narrowed that must be the biju ball I must hurry.

Naruto finally finished the necessary preparation and calmly pointed his blade at the enormous turtle biju and said with disdain Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral snow began to fall from the sky and upon contact snow began to form snow flowers.

Yagura looked on in outrage "What is this boy?"

Naruto did not deem Yagura with an explanation and in matter of second the mighty turtle biju was encased in a pillar of ice flowers. Naruto deactivated his Bankai in response.

What a dangerous foe to push me this extent I commend you Yagura of Kiri

Naruto walked away only to be stopped once more when he heard a crack. Naruto craned his head at Yagura and spoke solemnly "I see even Hyorinmaru's strongest attack is no match, this is the power of a biju."

Yagura quickly broke free of the attack and continued to build his chakra once more and then unleashed the devastating biju ball on Naruto. Naruto in response flashed through a series of hand seal and yelled hastily Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall

Naruto created a massive dome of wood, The biju ball eradicated the dome on contact enveloping the entire arena in a blinding light, The arena died down to reveal Yagura perfectly fine and Naruto who was encased in Susanoo once more to be able to destroy the wood locking wall on impact the biju power is indeed unrivaled I'll have to use that Jutsu Naruto flashed through a long series of hand seals and yelled WOOD STYLE : Wood Dragon a gigantic wooden dragon rose from the ground directly beneath them, resembling a Chinese dragon, though with a short trunk-like nose, it began constricting the massive turtle biju. The turtle continued to trash around, but the Dragon only continued to grow stronger in response.

All bijū's succumb to this the Jutsu Hashirama used this Jutsu to subdue the bijū's there is no way for you to win now Yagura

The turtle stopped thrashing and began to form into a ball and rolled into the water Naruto eyes showed brief worry ,he's going to the dept of the ocean the Jutsu won't last long, my chakra won't be able to reach at that distance

The turtle biju rose from the water with an insane grin, the Jutsu releasing long ago "What will you do now Emperor your wood release Jutsu is rendered useless against me face it Emperor you have lost."

Naruto smirked derisively "You too shall learn the extent of my power."

Naruto raced through a series of hand signs and slammed his palm into the ground and yelled SUMMONING JUTSU standing in all his glory was Kurama the nine tailed fox.

Kurama had a hungry look upon his face.

Naruto stood on top of Kurama's head with his hand folded Kurama spoke eagerly "It's about time."

(Scene)

Thank you guys for waiting patiently for this chapter as you can see it was a long one to right all this information was necessary to progress forward Naruto cannot use kido in the real world that much cause kido is usually resolved for shinigami so all his shinigami powers are greatly weakened in the real word, Naruto was able to fight Hyorinmaru with his full shinigami power because of that dimension also, I don't like the way they portray bijū's in the manga I mean they were taken down with ease, I just figured that the feared bijū's should you know feared so I going to make them all a lot stronger, I don't like how Gamabunta was able to keep his own against the biju, I kind of think that they nerfed the bijū's power a bit that just my opinion and
