I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters.


Release

Sasuke sprinted forward, slashing at Danzo only for Danzo to separate at the waist, his arms propelling the upper half over the blade before it landed back in place and reconnected. Sasuke swore and spun, launching several Chidori Senbon at Danzo but holes opened in his skin, allowing them to pass through harmlessly.

"Shit," Sasuke growled. "Chidori Stream!"

Lightning shot off of him, hitting Danzo instantly but not effecting him. Danzo blinked in surprise before laughing hysterically.

"I see," Danzo laughed. "So my body is immune to lightning. Looks like I win."

Sasuke put his Chokuto away and drew his Fire Sword, grinning.

"Not yet," Sasuke stated slashing the sword and forming a chakram out of flame.

Then he slashed it the other way and created three more as the first one flew forward. The next one sent those three and made five more. Sasuke sent those too but stopped. Danzo was burning but once again the fire wasn't affecting him.

"Nice try," Danzo laughed just as his body was surrounded by a white light and the lines between the pieces of paper that made up his new body began to appear.

Sasuke looked sideways toward Kabuto to see Guren standing amid thousands of shards of crystal. He could guess what happened and looked toward Itachi in confusion.

"I thought that if the caster died, the jutsu became unstoppable," Sasuke stated.

"It does," Itachi stated gravely as Danzo's body deconstructed itself then reformed exactly as it had been but with only Shisui's Sharingan open and one more.

"Damn," Sasuke growled forming his Susanoo. "A, we'll need you to make him use his Izanagi twice."

A nodded then appeared behind Danzo, driving his hand through his chest. Danzo vanished then reappeared behind A and drive his left hand, now as a sword, through A's stomach. A stumbled away just as Nagato and Konan arrived.

"Look who's here," Danzo laughed arms out wide. "The slut and her loyal bitch with the Rinnegan."

"You're going to pay for what happened to Yahiko," Konan growled. "We're going to stop you."

"How?" Danzo laughed.

Just as he did, dozens of explosive tags shot out of the dirt around his feet, wrapping him up as he leapt away. Just as he got airborne, the tags exploded, his legs being blasted off. Just as he began to regrow them, Nagato generated a chakra receiver from his robe then hurled it like a javelin. Danzo's eyes widened just as it exploded out the back of his head. Danzo vanished again, reappearing away from the others and growling in annoyance. He raised his sword arm, ready to make himself regenerate his Sharingan. Before he could do it, however, the Totsuka Blade exploded from his chest, Sasuke now standing behind him as the one he had seen faded, Sasuke having released the Genjutsu.

"Damn you!" Danzo raged, his hand turning back to a normal hand before the Dark Chakra shot out of him, returning to the Zero-tails who accepted it happily. "You can't beat me! It's not fair!"

"No," Nagato growled. "It's justice. For what you've done. For what you did to the Akatsuki. for what you did to Yahiko. I only wish we could send you to Hell so you could burn."

Danzo screamed in rage as he was dragged into the Totsuka Blade. Then, Sasuke let his Susanoo fade and sighed in relief.

"That could have escalated quickly," Sasuke sighed. "Thanks for the help."

Nagato and Konan nodded while Tsunade healed A.

"Let's go help Naruto," Itachi suggested just as Zetsu grew out of the ground before them.

The others all arrived to help them kill Zetsu but Zetsu remained calm.

"I must thank you for all of the extra Dark Chakra," White Zetsu stated bowing. "It's very helpful."

"And with it we're going to kill you," Black Zetsu continued as they began making hand seals.

"Wood Style, Wood Golem Jutsu!" White Zetsu spoke, even and calm as ever as wood shot out of the ground forming the same massive golem Hashirama had used when he was reincarnated.

This one, however, had Dark Chakra radiating from his eyes as did Zetsu.

"Kill them," Black Zetsu growled.

The Golem threw its fist down at them but when it hit the ground, Sasuke lit the entire Golem with Amaterasu. It stumbled back a step before falling to the ground and burning away to nothing. Zetsu began making hand seals again before slamming his hand into the ground, multiple large white tentacles shooting up to his left before curling together to form another Zetsu, this time one that was a complete body and had a face matching Obito's orange spiral mask.

"Welcome Spiral Zetsu," White Zetsu smiled. "Would you mind giving us a hand?"

"Certainly," Spiral Zetsu nodded making hand seals.

He slammed his hand into the ground and a massive statue like the one Hashirama had created growing out of the ground, several thousand hands on its back. Five smaller faces circled the Main face's head like a crown and each had their mouths open. Each fired a stream of one of the five Chakra Natures, one firing flames, another water, another a stream of Wind Swords, the fourth a stream of massive chunks of stone, and the last was a massive and constant thunderbolt.

Everyone scattered, knowing they couldn't match the jutsu. As they scattered, Itachi and Sasuke nodded to one another.


Obito spun as Naruto and Kakashi both attacked him again. Both passed through him before Naruto spun, shoving a Rasengan at him. Just as it was about to hit, Kakashi used Kamui on it, sending it to the other dimension where it blasted Obito, the spot where his body disappeared filling with smoke before his body reappeared. He stumbled back, holding his stomach before growling in annoyance.

"Zero-tails, keep these two away from me," Obito ordered and a pair of black chakra hands instantly wrapped around them, dragging them back to the Zero-tails who was restraining all of the other Jinchuriki who didn't have hardly any Tailed Beast Chakra left.

"Fuck you freak!" Naruto shouted lifting his arms and breaking free before darting forward and slamming his fist into its side.

He realized that the Zero-tails hadn't absorbed any of his or Kakashi's chakra. He kicked it into the sky, the Zero-tails releasing the others, then formed a Mini Rasenshuriken and fired it at the Zero-tails. It flipped in mid air, avoiding the jutsu then crashed down and swatted naruto and the other Jinchuriki away.

"You have to get to Madara, or Obito, or whatever the hell his name is," Kurama reminded Naruto.

Naruto stood just as Temujin, Shizuka, and Kakashi landed around him.

"Go," Kakashi instructed. "Stop Obito. We'll handle this thing."

Naruto nodded and turned sprinting after Obito. Obito had used an Earth Style jutsu to raise a massive column of stone a hundred feet into the air. Naruto sprinted up the side, landing behind Obito and darted forward, drawing his sword and slashing through Obito with it. He passed through harmlessly, stumbling across a massive seal that glowed red and filled most of the pillar.

"Welcome Naruto Namikaze," Obito greeted still making hand seals. "Be with you in a moment."

"Stop!" Naruto shouted. "You have no idea what you're doing!"

"We'll have to agree to disagree," Obito shrugged before raising a hand and snapping.

The Zero-tails suddenly burrowed into the ground, leaving Kakashi, Temujin, and Shizuka all injured but alive, before coming back out beside Obito.

"Would you be so kind as to retrieve our Pseudo-Jinchuriki for me?" Obito requested as Naruto hurled a Rasenshuriken at Obito, finally exiting Sage Mode again.

The Rasenshuriken was blocked by the Zero-tails' hand as four more shot out, picking up the four Pseudo Jinchuriki and setting them beside the seal before joining them.

"Thank you," Obito said nodding before returning to his hand seals.

"What are you doing?" Naruto finally sighed.

"You'll see," Obito promised biting his thumb. "Summoning Jutsu!"

A moment later the Box of Paradise rose in the center of the seal, the seal stretching so that it was on the Box of Paradise as well when you looked at it from above. Then, the seal shrunk until it was on the top of the Box of Paradise, shining brightly.

"The Box of Paradise?" Naruto gasped. "That's the Suzu Key?"

"No," Obito chuckled. "The Box is the cage, the seal is the door, and the Suzu Key, is chakra, the chakra of all ten Tailed Beasts."

"Ten?" Naruto questioned blinking.

"The Ten-tails was separated into the One-tailed through Nine-tailed beasts," Obito explained. "That was the true Madara Uchiha's plan. To gather the nine Tailed Beasts and reform the Ten-tails, then use its power to send the world into an infinite Genjutsu, allowing everyone to live out their lives in happiness. I, however, prefer a real world, rather than an illusion. I will be using the nine Tailed Beasts along with the Zero-tails, who has existed since before the Ten-tails was separated, to revive an even greater power, one that can return those lost to the world, at the same time as bring a forced peace to the world."

"Satori can't be controlled!" Naruto shouted.

"Satori?" Obito laughed. "No no, he's the sealed form. The chakra of one Tailed Beast, and not even much of it at that, is enough to bring forth Satori. But Satori pales in comparison to the true power sealed within the Box of Paradise."

Finally Obito let his hands fall after completing the hand seals and looked to Naruto.

"You may not wish to stand there," Obito warned. "The Box tends to explode when opened fully."

"Stop him!" Kurama shouted.

Naruto took one step forward and Obito clapped his hands, the Box's mouths opening as the Four Pseudo-Jinchuriki and then the Zero-tails were dragged into the Box. Then, Obito flashed a blinding white for a moment before collapsing, chakra streaming out of his mouth and into the box.

"Shit!" Kurama shouted. "Fool! The Suzu Key doesn't consist merely of us Tailed Beasts, but us Tailed Beasts and one human soul! Run Naruto! The Box is going to blow!"

Naruto leapt off the top of the pillar just before the Box exploding, obliterating the top half of the pillar and launching Naruto. Naruto, having tapped into Kurama's Chakra and accepted Kurama's help, crashed down in his transparent Nine-tails before letting it fade and landing beside the others.

"We're fucked," B growled. "We're too tired to help and even if we weren't, our Tailed Beasts all worked together to fight it before and failed."

"Tsunade!" Naruto shouted as the Kage all rushed over with the others, Zetsu going to see what had become of Obito with Spiral Zetsu watching the cloud of smoke. "They need chakra. Badly."

The Kage began to transfer theirs to the Jinchuriki, who in turn gave it to their Tailed Beasts. After a moment, they were joined by everyone else. Soon, the Jinchuriki were almost at full power and Naruto turned back to the smoke just as Zetsu and Black Zetsu both flew out of it, crashing down beside Spiral Zetsu who stared at their corpses for a moment, before turning back to the smoke, his statue firing streams of each Chakra Nature into the smoke at the same time as its thousands of hands shot into it to throw a punch, all shattering against something. Once it was finished, everything was still, the smoke, now covering an area big enough to completely conceal three Nine-tails and two complete bodied Susanoos, began to thin, revealing something massive and black inside it.

"What is that?" Tsunade questioned.

Just as she spoke, a massive black foot moved out of the smoke, followed by the creature's body as it stepped on Spiral Zetsu and his wooden statue, grinding its heal on them to prove its point. Then, it pulled its foot back, the smoke having fully cleared to reveal the creature, who was still growing in size. As it finished, they all stared at it, a giant humanoid with black skin, red eye, claws about a hundred meters long, a wolf's snout and teeth, a tail that had electricity coursing through it, and was about a mile and a half tall. It's foot was able to crush half a square mile just by walking.

"Shit!" Naruto gasped. "Everyone get back! Run away! Sasuke, Jinchuriki, stick around."

Everyone turned and fled except those he had named and Hinata.

"I'm not leaving you," Hinata stated.

"Hinata," Naruto sighed. "I love you more than anything. And that is exactly why you are going to be as far from this battle as I can make you be. Go wait with the other Uzumaki. With my mother. We'll kill this thing then take a year's vacation while we get married."

Hinata kissed him then turned and chased after the others, stopping beside Kushina ten miles away, where they could still see the creature but were, hopefully, out of range of its attacks. That was proved wrong almost instantly.
