Chapter Twelve: Crashing Down

"If we don't end war, war will end us" H.G. Wells

While two titans were ducking it out in a tropical forest, within the mind of a certain blond, two man were sitting opposite to one another. The dark skinned man looked at the blonde, who was sprawled on a couch,- and simply couldn't believe that he could be so calm while their tenants had decided to take over their bodies to fight their petty grudges. A table appeared between them, a steaming pot of tea standing in the middle, flanked by two plain, white, porcelain cups.

"I would have offered sake too but unfortunately I haven't drunk any of it so I can recreate in here" the blonde said cheerfully.

"Why are so calm, you fool" Killer B, spoke barely refraining from shouting.

"Because Kurama and Gyuki are siblings" shrugged Naruto "they might fight and talk big but in the end they'll be there for one another"

"Siblings?" asked a confused Killer B.

"Yeah, siblings, messed up siblings but still siblings" replied Naruto "I personally blame their father, he was kind of a jerk"

"Who was their father?" asked Killer B, fishing for more information.

"Oh, the Sage of Six Paths though he wasn't their father in the common sense" explained Naruto, seeing no problem sharing this bit of information "it was more like he split the power of a pissed of deity of sorts and gave them their own unique personalities"

"Oh, well that explains a lot then" spoke Killer B and then plopped down in the couch created for him "do you reckon will be in here for long?"

"Until the seal you brought to neutralize Kurama, is finished" replied Naruto.

"How, how did you know?" asked a flabbergasted Killer B.

"Simple logic, you don't fight a jinchuriki without a few hidden aces especially not me and Kurama" replied Naruto cheerfully.

"So you know we will take the Nine-Tails from you "exclaimed Killer B "there is no chance for you to win this one"

"Bah, me and the impossible have a long story of ignoring each-other" quipped Naruto, smiling and then is blue eyes hardened as he looked right into the eyes of the other Jinchuriki " if you somehow take Kurama from me I will hunt you down and erase you from history itself if a have too"

"You will not survive" stated killer B.

"I'm an Uzumaki, we are survivors" shrugged Naruto.

"I mean we will kill you once we are done extracting the Tailed Beast" explained Killer B.

Good luck with that?" scoffed Naruto "because if don't kill you, Kurama will"

"You think because it has accepted you for its host, the Nine-Tails will fight for you" this time it was Killer B's turn to scoff.

"Oh, yes he will we're sort of a family" replied Naruto cheerfully returning to calmly sipping his tea, as their tenants were ripping the landscape asunder.

A battle between Tailed Beast was something out of a horror stories, nations crumbled and island rose and fell to the bottom of the seas as the beings clashed with seemingly endless energy. A battle between Jinchuriki's was just slightly below a battle of Tailed Beasts in sheer destruction, especially if the two Jinchuriki cooperated with their hosts and could use the maximum amounts of the power their physical form could handle, which depending on how long one has been a Jinchuriki, could be astronomical.

Now as the most powerful of the Tailed Beasts, Kurama and Gyuki had clashed many times but this time they were fighting to prove who of them had grown stronger while being inside hosts. Many tended to forget that while Jinchuriki gained special abilities from their tenants, their tenants too gained by incorporating their unique chakras to their own and thus developed unique abilities of their own. The Gyuki had had more hosts but Kurama had had Uzumaki hosts so that kind of balanced their gains still it depended who was the cleverest in their usage.

Lightning twisted and writhed around the possessed frame of Killer B while the possessed body of Naruto stood there with an impassive look on its face.

"You disappoint me, Gyuki, you were always the most fun of them all" laughed Kurama as he launched forward far faster than any human could ever hope to achieve, wind howling against his frame.

"Foolish Brother" grinned Gyuki, as lightning ceased to exist and black ink formed a titanic hand, made of thousands of crude seal which slammed into Kurama, creating a massive mushroom cloud.

"So naïve" came the voice of Kurama from within the crate his chakra tails having dissolved the mighty Ink Fist "I have learned quite a few tricks, brother"

"H-How" stammered a clearly impressed Gyuki "that shouldn't be possible"

"If they were better quality perhaps" agreed Kurama, while appearing right in front of a surprised Gyuki and launching an haymaker "but such crude seal I can easily dissolve, Uzumaki unique chakra and all"

"That's … you are cheating" exclaimed Gyuki, his power output increasing tenfold as black clouds gathered overhead, the lightning within, bathing the forest around them in bluish light.

"You had the most hosts of us all" exclaimed Kurama, with a feral grin,- as from his tails nine gigantic wind tornadoes assaulted the heavens "that is what I call cheating"

"You will not defeat me again" shouted Gyuki as the clouds unleashed thick columns of lighting down on Kurama who frantically grasped for his tornadoes.

Kurama unlike his brothers had never had any favorite elements, his massive power well allowing his to simply overpower any of the elements to such a degree that his siblings control over it simply was no match though Gyuki's newfound power over lightning was on a whole new level than before. That being said he wasn't totally helpless against his brother's legendary skill with lightning even without wind to protect him though he preferred not to unleash the abilities gained by the paranoid Mito Uzumaki. The thick and somewhat solid columns of electricity slammed into the ground with revenge and where they slammed a massive chasm opened as the ground crumbled before it's might.

At the bottom of the seemingly endless chasm stood Kurama, no worse for wear even after his brother used his once, most powerful attack against him. Dozens of chakra chains floating around him, their tips connected to the smoking ground, what had saved him from a most painful regeneration. The power of these chains was inferior to the natural power of human chakra chains but the sheer raw power he could funnel into them made them superior to anything short of the chains of Asura himself or his father's unique solid chakra constructs which was why they could survive the onslaught of lightning and redirect it without a scratch on them.

Kurama launched his chains toward his smirking brother while he totally unlocked the full extent of his powers within this vessel and a golden cloak covered Naruto's body while Gyuki who had dodged the chains became covered in a burgundy red cloak, which Kurama would never admit to look rather cool on the muscular frame of the eight-tails Jinchuriki. The two possessed vessels clashed in a show of immense speed and strength, the land around them exploding in a shower of dirt, steam and dusted wood, disrupting most fighting being done around them.

Ao saw the monstrous shockwave arrive a few second before his opponent and that gave him the opportunity to gain the upper hand in a losing battle against an S-rank monster. The thing was that he had never been an S-rank, borderline yes but never one himself but Saitou was an S-rank and while his old age had dulled his physical abilities, his experience more than made up for such a disadvantage and it was only extensive use of the Byakugan that allowed him to survive and keep the old man occupied for long enough for his men to finish the Five Pillars of Heaven seal. As the shockwave was upon them, pulverizing everything in its path except for those who had already prepared themselves, Ao let the old man hit him with his burning cane, it tearing through his abdomen and tearing a hole inside his liver and badly damaging his spine though it left him totally unprepared for the massive pressure that crushed his old body into a heap of bloody goo.

Smiling as he won, Ao tried to stand up, his body heavily damaged but already failing him quickly. As he pushed himself up, it having to do more with chakra usage than his body's ability to move, he smiled a bloody smile as he made his way to where the seal array was being prepared inside a barrier. His smile however quickly faded as he saw himself across Darui, a battered and bruised Darui but still the infamous Darui of the Black Lightning. Knowing that even if he didn't use any jutsu, his chakra would only allow for three minutes of fighting at his normal levels, he attacked immediately forgoing any pre-battle banter he would have usually done to gauge an enemy. That proved extremely unwise as Darui merely dodged his desperate attack and with a backhanded blow sent him flying through the scarred landscape.

His already damaged body was further damaged as the cauterized wounds caused from Saitou were opened and blood began filling his insides. Darui appeared in front of him, a katana covered in lighting chakra held in a stabbing position above him. Being left with no choice that didn't benefit, he began using a forbidden technique taught only to high-level ninjas in order to protect their village's secrets even in their death. "You were a worthy foe to have defeated Saitou and survived and I really wished that I didn't have to do this…" Darui trailed off as he plunged his sword downwards and at the same time Ao spoke his last words "Kirigakure's Kinjutsu: Forbidden Chakra fruit" and he smiled as Darui upon hearing those words aborted his initial attack and spun away to initiate a Body-Flicker and he felt pain blossom in his left eye, right where his Buykugan eye was, but that shouldn't have happened , as all his chakra was being forced out of his chests chakra points. He didn't however have the time to investigate as his world went black.

The battle of titans was interrupted by a single brave soul initiating the Gargantuan Whirlpool seal after it was completed. Tens of thousands of tiny seal spread across the barren wasteland and even the collection of ruins that was once the Ancor Vatian, making it impossible for Tailed Beasts Chakra to be used inside it's radius thus forcing the Tailed Beasts to retreat inside their seals and their Jinchuriki regaining control over their body. The massive amounts of power receding from their body had left both jinchuriki weakened which was the point of using the seal, stacking the deck for the Kumo nin as much as it was possible. Of course as with all plans nothing went quite as the planners meat them too because of a myriad of factors among which the top two being that Naruto Uzumaki was easily a Kage- level shinobi Nine-Tails or not while the other was that both Darui and Saitou were not capable of helping Killer B deal with Naruto.

Moving sluggishly, compared to his usual standards,- Naruto kicked the still recovering Killer B through the barren landscape and then sprinted toward the still-skidding Jinchuriki with speeds easily surpassing that of sound itself,- intent of knocking the Jinchuriki out so that he could deal with the rest of the shinobi still battling it out over the ruins of Ancor Vatian and thus save at least some part of his original plan when he went there. Of course that was not meant to be as Killer B recovered before he could reach and in an impressive show of speed and strength stopped himself and lashed out with a kick toward Naruto.

Caught by surprise Naruto didn't have the time to dodge and thus was hit in the chest by the lighting quick kick which sent him flying having done quite some damage to him and without Kurama's chakra to help him heal the damage almost instantly that would weaken him considerably. Now that is not to say he didn't get off lightly considering that any other human being and even most chunnin would have been pulverized by the force of impact or at least their entire chest and abdomen would have been pulverized while he would get a nasty bruise and possibly a cracked rib or two. Naruto broke the fall with a quick roll and in one fluid motion fired six Wind enhanced kunai toward the slightly dizzy Jinchuriki and even though he jumped over them he never stopped to see the tiny seals inscribed into the kunai handless.

The explosions of the kunai wasn't something to write home about and even the shrapnel wouldn't have been enough to pierce through the tough skin that every powerful ninja and Jinchuriki developed, of course that didn't factor in the wind chakra that clutched and enhanced even the shrapnel thus making sure they at least made Killer B bleed. As a high level shinobi Killer B didn't even flinch as the shrapnel pierced his skin and tore, if only a few millimeters deep, into his muscle before his chakra saturated body stopped them entirely but it still detracted quite a bit of power from his "Fire Release: Great Dragon Scale" turning in from a titanic fire release technique capable of erasing a small village into a pathetic twenty meters wide fireball, a third of it's original size,- before smashing into the position of one Naruto Uzumaki or at least it would have if it didn't simply disappear inside a seal drawn in the ground.

That fraction of a second it took for Killer B to process his techniques seemingly nonchalant countering was all that Naruto needed to finish the fight with a "Wind Release Rasengan" to the Jinchuriki's back, enough to put him out of the fight but not enough to kill him. It would have worked if not for a laser like beam of lighting impacting his side less than a microsecond away from delivering his technique and he was thrown away like a doll, only his insane Vitality saving his side from being torn apart, well that and a copious amount of Wind Chakra.

"What's with people and interruptions today, huh?" Naruto spoke as he retaliated with a titanic fireball, burning a bright blue as it melted the earth underneath it before impacting the spot where Darui was standing a tenth of a second before,- and exploding with the power of a thousand explosive tags.

"I didn't mean to be rude" answered Darui, dodging a few dozen blades of wind that almost tore him to pieces "but he's my teammate"

"I know the feeling" replied Naruto just as he unleashed three bolts of lightings from his fingertips, herding his opponents toward a better position.

"Then you'll also know that you stand no chance against both of us" Darui sighed as a spike of earth came to close to impaling him but the intensity of the attack was winding down despite his enemies best attempts to keep them both on the defensive.

"If you saw so" shrugged Naruto as with a wave of his hand the earth beneath the two Kumo nin crumbled and they were cast into the abyss created earlier on.

Darui and Killer B while surprised by this move, as shinobi could easily survive such a fall and even escape the crumbling earth through their unnatural speed,- easily wove through the falling debris and as they made it out of the abyss they were meet with a sight that sent a chill down their spine. Hundreds of three=pronged kunai littered the sides of the abyss and the Uzumaki was staring them with a victorious grin , a Rasengan spinning in one hand before he flashed away. Instead of pain however he felt only the displacement of air behind him before a scream tore through the air and blood splattered his face as he turned around.

In the ground writhing stood one Naruto Uzumaki surrounded by a cloud of green light which was siphoning red chakra from his body and crystallizing it in a crimson crystal a foot above his chest. The most shocking thing however was the state of the young shinobi's body, mangled and bloody as if he were a simple civilian who had gone through a particularly nasty wind jutsu, that is to say there was hardly any skin left in him and his right eye was totally ruined. The cause, unknown to the Kumo nin was that "the Five Pillars of Heaven" were activated just as Naruto flashed away and thus it forcefully ripped him out of the space outside of space causing more damage than any ninjutsu ever could, damaging down to a sub-atomic level.

The whole process of sealing away the Nine-Tails lasted exactly three seconds and two tenths of a seconds easy enough to reverse through the "Broken Path: Backward Dance" but the moment his good eye turned into the Rinnengan and tried to do just that a sign popped up even as his chakra burned away giving his Rinnengan a sinister glow.

[Broken Path Techniques don't work in any instance where {Semi-Divine} or {Divine} class beings are involved]

From his broken lips a laugh reverberated as he turned to his last solution, a massive influx of Natural energy energizing his dying body allowing him to stand in a cloud of swirling, gold chakra as Nature energy purified his chakra to it being almost eighty for cent in its purity, a good thirty per cent beyond that of the most powerful sitting Kage. That however was not the end as Wood, its bark glowing with pure unbridled power formed a layer of skin for his flayed body even as the Sage marking spread,-painfully – across his naked flesh and muscles. The moment he had done such an action his head should have been gone in a shower of blood and brain matter from his unlocked Sensor abilities overloading but in a show of sorcery beyond what would have been expected even from prodigies all the emotions he turned into energy and then it formed that into an rainbow colored, eye shaped crystal of focused emotional energy.

Darui survived the first strike but it cost him two fingers from his left hand while Killer B, well he never stood a chance without his Tailed Beast and was knocked out before the transformation was even over but in that anger clouded state of mind, Naruto ignored him and the Kyuubi crystal entirely as he attacked Darui which soon found a wooden fist buried in his stomach which sent him flying like a rag doll. A massive boom exploded from the edge of the abyss, creating a crater where once Naruto Uzumaki stood, as he took the warpath. Normally the survivors would have been safe, obscured by the massive ash clouds and the thick miasma of power unleashed from so many high-ranking shinobi fighting, this however was not a normal situation as Naruto's last ditch effort to cling to life and avenge his friend and brother, elevated to levels of power beyond mere humans capacity to comprehend and thirty two Kumo and Kiri in were decimated in less than a second.

Anyone seeing Naruto at that moment, his armor of blinding white wood covering most of his form, his left Rinnenngan blazing with an bone-chilling red from the blood covering it, his right eye a sphere of empathic energy waiting a for a simple command to incinerate a tenth of the entire continent but what was the most impressive was his Sage cloak, a technique forgotten from the time of Asura Senju and his father,- blazing like a miniature sun in a golden color that could provide both warmth and protection and unlimited destruction at the whim of its master. Unfortunately for Darui, the Sage was not in a particularly forgiving mood and as soon as he got back to his feet he was assaulted by a beam of pure chakra and though he avoided it the shockwave from when the beam connected to the soil sent him flying uncontrollably. As he flew Darui gathered all of his remaining chakra and used a technique that he had only ever used in practice and even then in a toned down scale not to blow up an entire mountain or two.

The clouds above them rumbled a split second before giant dragons made from black lightning struck the radiating "god" below Darui with enough force to easily match a Tailed Beast Ball and perhaps even surpass it. The force of the technique was so large that it even parted the clouds, both natural and ash ones,- overhead allowing sunlight to filter upon the desolated battlefield before a new dust cloud blocked it again. A few seconds later the dust cloud was parted silently as the entire world fell silent as Naruto walked from the newly created abyss or more exactly as he walked over thin air as it if it was everyday occurrence, his bloodlust coming as an unstoppable tide, crashing the already drained Darui to his knees as he approached him at a slow walk his eyes widening for a tenth of a second as the Rinnengan in his left eye exploded with an inner light and then his soul was roughly taken out of his body and subjected to pain beyond the point where a normal brain would have liquefied from sheer overload.

The only reason why the torture didn't continue for longer was that he had to dodge a missile cloaked in a cloak of red chakra, the sheer speed it moved enough to surpass the natural ability that chakra had to nullify friction,- and its flaming form slamming into the ground with enough force to create a narrow bridge between the two abysses as the rock and dirt vaporized. The second attack came in the form of lava, a titanic wave of lava, higher than any mountain showing to the world the power of a Jinchuriki. Normally escaping the Lava wave would have been a child's play but with all of his kunai vaporized and his transformation coming to its edge he could only reproduce what had defended him from the sheer power of Darui's final attack and with a though the world shifted from its axis as natural energy formed an invisible dome of inhuman power and chakra, glorious, potent and pure chakra lined the edges giving the Natural energy a structure through which to express its limitless power, the power to bring down gods and to elevate civilizations from mere bacteria's.

In the end his downfall came from his own arrogance as while he focused on the titanic technique a lesser but equally dangerous mountain of lava overcame him from within his bubble of personal sunlight and then there was nothing. From outside the rapidly cooling lava, a black aired girl fell to her knees, her chakra spent and the adrenaline in her system fading as the three pronged attack brought down the monster now most certainly burned to a crisp within her technique. The dome of lava cooling above her head cracked as two Jinchuriki entered within the massive cave within the newly made mountain. The older of the two held in his hands a red crystal radiating pure, breathtaking power even mostly covered in cloth as it was.

"Well that went well" commented the old man.

"It could have certainly gone worse" nodded the giant.

"What are you saying, we totally owned him" the young girl boasted.

"Foolish girl" admonished the old man "in a prolonged fight he would have demolished us, Tailed Beasts or not"

"Indeed, his chakra was powerful beyond anything I've felt and I fought the Fourth and all three of the Sannin" agreed the Giant.

"You must be kidding, just because he had a shinning cloak doesn't make him stronger than us or Gramps" shouted the girl indignantly.

"He is" stated the Giant.

"He survived your strongest technique, even now he is still alive" commented the old man offhandedly.

"Y-y- you must be kidding right" spluttered the girl looking at the small hill with trepidation.

"No, he is not though for how much longer he shall leave is another matter altogether" spoke the Giant, gathering his chakra in his fist.

"Much longer than you will if you move toward him" spoke a voice from behind them.

The three of them turned around, unleashing a barrage of shuriken, kunai and fire jutsu toward the old man behind them who simply dismissed them with a wave of his hand before the found themselves brought to their knees by the sheer power the man unleashed, as the air cracked under that same power.

"I have no quarrel with you, shinobi" spoke the man calmly "but if you don't leave now your blood will adorn the walls of this cave"

"Nor we with you" spoke the old Jinchuriki "if you promise not to follow us we shall leave immediately"

"Then leave mercenary" Takagi nodded before with a glance the rock around Naruto cracked and broke away to reveal a badly wounded Naruto missing an eye and bleeding more blood than was strictly advisable.

The three shinobi left carrying with them the crystallized Nine Tails. Internally cursing the fact that he couldn't do anything without an active Emperor other than guard the Heir when he couldn't do so himself. He approached the unconscious from of Naruto and took out an egg made entirely out of blue flames.

"Idiot" mumbled Takagi as he slammed the flaming egg into Naruto's chest and saw as his body exploded into blue colored flames "I told you would eventually become immortal"

In the ruined remain of the Ancor Vatian, laid a crystal forgotten in the great battle that occurred in the surrounding area, rearranging the very lay of the land. Normally that wouldn't have been a problems save for one tiny detail, it was cracked and leaking dark Chakra. That in and on itself wouldn't have been a problem but the abundance of corpses made things far easier and within a few minutes a corpse opened his eyes, to reveal eyes as black as the darkness between the stars from where the imprisoned being came from.

Fire Capital City, nightfall, the same day.

A group of Shinobi stealthily made their way through the palace of the Fire Daimyo, technically it was a small city built to prevent exactly what was happening right now,- shinobi entering the palace unnoticed. Yet the members of this small group were not your average shinobi and in fact were so much beyond the reach of other shinobi that they were classed in a class created solely for Monsters will body counts of a small army on their own. In fact this group was made of only three shinobi, Tsunade Senju, the most powerful kunoichi in the world period, the greatest medic since her grandfather had walked the earth sprouting forests everywhere he stepped but most important to this particular event was that she was the Fifth Hokage and unknowingly to her the instigator of a series of events that would shake the world.

The second member of this group was Kakashi Hatake, the person with most S-rank in his mission record since the Fourth, the honorary leader of ANBU even though he had officially retired, the official master of Lightining jutsu in Konoha, a walking library of jutsu, wielder of the Mangenkyo Sharingan possessing the relatively unknown but insanely dangerous Kamui and unknown to most gamer extraordinaire and future Head Gamer of the Ninth Emperor.

Trailing behind them writing seal in lighting fast strokes of his brush came Jiraya, greatest of all Sannin and arguably the most powerful shinobi on the continent (Nagato and Obito not included since the world at large doesn't know them), the man whom lesser demons ran away screaming for their well not life but something along those lines, a spymaster that would make Tobirama shed tears and joy and was more often than not the reason behind Danzo's frequent head banging seasons beating his teacher by more than 20%, most famously known for being the only sage on the continent (again Naruto is an unknown to most) but his most infamous and therefore highly unknown achievement was that he had infiltrated each and every one of the ANBU divisions of every major village at the same time and had been in at least two of them promoted to head ANBU before he was forced to leave, with all their classified material, scoring the biggest win for Konoha since the last major war ended.

All this three legends were inside the palace with one simple mission, kill the Daimyo and his family down to their family cats which was really a source of joy for all the blissfully ignorant gennin of Konoha. Of course their little stroll through daimyo's palace didn't went unnoticed for long as a pair of, unfortunate,- shinobi guards spotted them during their patrol but they were swiftly relieved of their heads courtesy of Kakashi's blade.

"This guys were real letdowns" Kakashi whispered while Jiraya disposed of the bodies " If they had been anything like during Asuma's stint they would have lasted at least three seconds longer"

"You do know that they weren't the Fire Guardians but mere cannon fodder?" Jiraya deadpanned.

"Still" Kakashi silently whined.

"Get moving you babies" scolded Tsunade as she speed toward the Daimyo's chambers.

"Party popper" Kakashi added before bluring behind her and Jiraya, who coincidentally was the only thing stopping Tsunade from repainting the walls with some liquefied Kakashi.

The room was quickly found, it wasn't like you could confuse it, what with the dozen ninja trying to hide to the best of their ability which sadly was no match for three former ANBU and current shinobi legends. Oh, make no mistake all of them were A-ranks and one or two could claim being borderline S-rank but seriously, borderline didn't cut it, not with the Sannin or Kakashi which was like a kid at the candy store.

"Finally, I got dibs on the Bear-face" Kakashi happily exclaimed as he stepped out of the shadows with his trademark eye-smile "and perhaps even lilac eyes over there"

"Kakashi for once in your life be serious" spoke Tsunade, charging her fist with chakra "It's I'll kill them all"

"Just like good old times" Jiraya spoke from the side of one of the hidden shinobi "minus the snake parts… creppy that one" shuddered Jiraya sidestepping a boo staff strike before slamming a kunai into the unfortunate ninjas torso.

At that point all hell broke loose as Kakashi made a beeline for the bear like shinobi who met his blade with metal gauntlets infused with Earth chakra making them harder than diamond. Unfortunately that was a mistake as Kakashi lit the large ninja up like a Christmas tree on steroids. He didn't get to kill him though as the lilac eyed kunoichi he had spoken of earlier interfered with a wind jutsu that would have had decapitated Kakashi if he hadn't been… well himself. Tsunade hadn't been holding back and that was proven as a broken body shot out of the fray just as another shinobi lost its head when Tsunade's fist made contact with his head. Kakashi on the other hand had quickly shown the lilac eyed kunoichi the difference between S-rank and an A-rank as she fell to the ground, blood pouring from her mouth just as the bear like shinobi's head rolled from his body.

The hallway was quickly filled with a storm of fire as five of the ninja tried to gang up on Jiraya but were quickly dispatched as between waving between thrown weapons and various jutsu he unleashed his own fire jutsu turning the five ninja into pieces of coal. The remaining two ninja were smart enough to realize their future would be a whole lot longer if they got out of there and they did so before any of the killing machines in front of them got any ideas on how exactly to kill them. Shaking their heads at the same time, the trio slammed open the door of the daimyo's bedroom, his concubine quickly killed by a kunai to the forehead, courtesy of Kakashi while Tsunade stood at the edge of the bed and with a "tsk" turned the daimyo to red paste… well save his head they needed that to decorate the walls of the city to show what happened to those resisting Konoha.

A few minutes later the whole palace lit up n a huge ball of fire, the shockwave from it blasting the walls that separated the palace from the rest of the city. That day the city awoke to a rain of ashes, as the for the first time in a century the Will of Fire was turned into a raging inferno
