I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters. I do not own the uniforms, I found a picture(The new cover image for this story) online by tagoston16 and TheMuseumofJeanette on deviantART and changed the color. Naruto's newest blade is basically Ichigo's Shikai in Bleach.

New Equipment

"The war had begun," Tsunade stated looking Naruto in the eye. "Several groups have begun to fight. Most are doing fine but you are needed to reinforce two fronts. One is currently battling the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist. The other, is currently battling the Third Raikage, Second Mizukage, the Fourth Kazekage, and the Second Tsuchikage. Onoki is with them."

"Gaara, help Onoki with the former Kage," Naruto ordered. "Has anyone found the Pseudo-Jinchuriki or Fukai yet?"

"No," Tsunade stated. "As of yet, they are not active, thank God."

"I'll take Hinata and go stop the former Ninja Swordsmen," Naruto stated.

"One more thing," Tsunade spoke up as the three of them turned to leave. "We have reason to believe that one or more of the Swordsmen may be among the Thirteen. If so, they may have help from others of the Thirteen."

"Understood," Naruto nodded.

He and Gaara left the office heading to the weapons stockroom the Allied Shinobi Force had set up where Naruto had instructed the other seven Jinchuriki to meet. There were exactly nine changing rooms, thank God, and Naruto intended for them all to use one to put on their new uniforms.

"What are we doing here?" Yugito questioned from her place beside B.

"You're all here because we are now officially the single most powerful fighting force in the world," Naruto stated. "As such, I think it's a time to for a quick change of appearances."

As he spoke, eight clones of his stepped out of the rows of weapons, each holding packages containing a uniform with the name of a Jinchuriki on each.

"What, new uniform?" Yagura questioned. "That's the big surprise?"

"No," Naruto grinned. "The big surprise is, each outfit is specially designed using a suit of armor I had Gaara dig up a few days back, before me, him, B, and Fu fought the Pseudo-Jinchuriki."

"That was why you wanted that thing?" Gaara questioned.

"It is," Naruto nodded.

"What's it do?" Han spoke up.

"Each outfit absorbs most jutsus and transfers the chakra to you," Naruto stated. "However, as a general rule, jutsus that move extremely fast, such as the Water Gun Jutsu will be too fast to absorb and will punch a hole through you."

the Jinchuriki all nodded and the clones tossed them the uniforms. They all stepped into a separate changing room and quickly changed into their new uniforms before leaving the changing rooms and looking around at the others.

"Not bad Naruto," Yugito admitted. "Though, I do miss my clouds."

The uniforms all matched each other's, with black forehead protector backings with long straps like Naruto's last one had, black shirts with three navy blue squares on each shoulder and three navy blue lines on the outside of each forearm, dark grey gloves, black pants with navy blue squares on the knees, dark grey shin guards with vertical navy blue stripes, dark grey sandals with three navy blue stripes running along the tops, and dark grey armor vests similar to flak jackets but stronger. They had two thick shoulder straps running up over the shoulders then connecting to the torso protectors that had a loose spiral pattern on them in red. The flak jackets also had two wide straps hanging down by their legs, connected to the jacket at the front and back forming two loops with one side having several small red feathers hanging from it and the other being clear of them. The reason for that was that each of them had something they wanted to carry with them and didn't have another place. For B, it was Samehada, for Fu her scroll, for Naruto, his assorted blades, which he kept attached to the strap by several tethers attached directly to their sheathes, and for Gaara it was his gourd, which Naruto had shrunk down with one seal and increased the capacity for with another. The others all had nothing there, as Utakata carried his bamboo bottle and pipe inside his sleeve. The last part of the uniforms was the carving on each forehead protector. They each had the Japanese character for the number of tails their Tailed Beast had, and Naruto had given each a chokuto, which each wore on their back, having some form of training with a sword.

Naruto himself wore his swords on his right strap in the order from front to back, Sword of Kusanagi, Double-Edged Swords, and Temujin's Sword. His Crow Blade was stashed in a seal on his right palm, while his Garian Blade was, as always, concealed below his shirt. On his back, was his newest blade, a gift from Jiraiya that Gamabunta had only recently been able to find to give him. It was a massive, curved, cleaver-like sword with white cloth wrapped around the grip then hanging down about the length of Naruto's arm. The sword itself was taller than Naruto was making it quite heavy, were it normal metal. It was chakra metal, like Asuma's chakra blades, which was a very light metal to start with, and had a gravity resistance seal on the sides of the blade making it as light Temujin's sword. Naruto was quite fond of it. Especially when it cut clean through a solid stone wall.

"Hinata designed the uniforms," Naruto stated. "My mother made them. I just played delivery man."

"I see," Yugao nodded. "So, what now?"

"For now, you will stay here, guarding Konoha until either the Thirteen, or the Pseudo-Jinchuriki surface," Naruto stated. "You will then contact me and Gaara and tell us where they are so that we can fight them together."

"Alright," B nodded. "In the mean time, Yugito and me will help them all master their Tailed Beasts, ya see? Should be fun, fools, ya fools."

Naruto nodded and turned to Gaara.

"Good luck fighting the Kage," Naruto muttered. "I get to go fight a bunch of zombie swordsmen."

Gaara grinned and nodded and they both left, Naruto meeting Hinata at the main gate and the two of them leaving to reach the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, and Gaara to face the former Kage.

Read and review. This will be the last chapter until the Naruto Shippuden anime is translated up until Ameyuri is defeated by Omoi.
