Disclaimer: not my best work
"You're both dead!"
"Oh a Kumo kunoichi. How fitting." Stated the taller figure, the aura of power around him stifling.
"Yugito nee-San... Who are those people?" Questioned Azumi, stepping in front of of his sensei's bed ridden form.
"Ah, the Sanbi jinchuuriki... So this is who he sealed the beast in... Interesting..." Stated the taller figure.
"How did you know he was the jinchuuriki?" Questioned Shisui jr, his sharingan blazing to life and staring at the cloaked figures as he moved next to Azumi, Remi falling in next to him.
"He seems to have grown well. His chakra presence is very strong... All three of them..." Stated the taller one, his eyes never leaving Naruto.
"Indeed." Stated the shorter one, his gaze holding on Shisui jr for a second longer than the others. He then turned towards yugito. "I will try to awaken him, but you must promise that you will not inform anyone that it was us that helped. Understood?"
Yugito was conflicted. If these two could help him out, then they were probably on their side, but if they weren't, then it could end badly. "What choice do I have? Even if I could defeat you, there's no way I would stand a chance against him."
"I won't let you hurt Naruto-Sensei!" Shouted Shisui, as he started moving for his sword.
"It's ok Shisui. There here to help." Stated yugito, sounding a lot more sure than she was.
"Very well. Try and awaken him, if not I'll be forced to use it." Stated the taller figure as the shorter one moved forward, carefully moving around the kids and placing a hand on Naruto's forehead.
"Kototsukiomi!"
-Iwa-
"Sir, reports are that each kage that is in alliance with konoha has left their villages and are heading towards konoha."
Kitsuchi nodded to the jonin In front of him. "Good. They will all meet in the hidden leaf and will most likely travel to Iron country together."
"Sir, is that what we want? We still don't know what Akatsuki have planned and they will most likely travel in lands we border." Questioned Kurotsuchi, who had become second in command after Kitsuchi had been injured.
"Akatsuki will side with us, or at the very least against konoha. And if they travel through our allies, then we can keep tabs on them on their way to and from the summit." Stated Kitsuchi. "The only problem will come from who they will send. If the Namikaze goes, then the plan will hit a snag, if it's anyone else in his place, we will know he's out of commission."
-Konoha-
"What are you doing to him?" Questioned yugito, who had heard stories of the legendary Shisui of the body flicker, and none of them were good.
"I'm trying to create a command to wake up." Stated Shisui in concentration.
"Hurry up Shisui! I can feel the Mizukage and another Uchiha coming." Stated the older Uchiha.
"Shisui? But that's my name..." Stated Shisui jr. "That means your..."
Suddenly Naruto shot up, gasping for breath. His bloodshot eyes scanning the room and landing on the older male, after a breif second, his eyes shifted into red eyes with nine tomoe. "Leave. Now."
-Gates of konoha -
In a literal flash of movement, three dark skinned men appeared at the main gates of konoha.
"Hello Raikage-Sama, Bee-Sama. I take it you've heard about Naruto?" Questioned Kotetsu.
"Indeed. I take it you two will sign me in while I go to Tsunade." Stated A as he and bee moved towards the Hokage tower, Darui offering an apology as he followed them.
-Hokage tower-
"Good morning A. I see you made it here soon as you did." Stated Tsunade, who sat behind the desk that very well could have been hers.
"Not much is good about it. Has there been any change in his condition?" Questioned A as he sat his massive frame into one of the seats across from the interim Hokage.
"No, he's still unresponsive. The activity in his brain is staggering, but his brain has shut off the rest of his body to prevent further injury." Stated Tsunade.
"So his body is slowly decaying because his muscles can't be used. Even if he wakes up he will be in a weakened state." Stated Darui
"Unfortunately yes." Stated Tsunade. "After we repaired all his physical injurys, I ordered doctors to-"
'Booom'
"That was the hospital! Naruto!"
-Hospital-
Standing on the wrecked roof of the hospital was the Godaime Hokage, a hospital gown covering his dignity, though you could still see chakra exploding around him. Across from him stood a man he would consider to be a much stronger shinobi than himself.
"What are you doing here? How are you alive? How is he alive?" Questioned Naruto, his eyes still red with nine tomoe.
"I was sent here. I lived a very long life, and he has unfinished business in this world." Stated Madara, who stood to the other side of the large crater in the roof.
"Who sent you! Don't you dare lie to me Madara! I'm not the same kid you meet three years ago." Stated Naruto, his chakra flailing even more wildly, his hair standing up on end.
"I have no reason to lie. I beleive you've met him. Horns, red or blonde hair... Purple ringed eyes..." Stayed the elder Uchiha. "One in the middle of his forehead..."
"You mean the sage..." Stated Naruto a bit more calmly.
"Yes, but I have much to do. I beleive I held you up long enough to allow Shisui to wipe your students and the Kumo kunoichis memory. I'll make my leave now." Stated Madara as he disappeared. "Iwa is ready to strike."
'I know he was dead. And he wasn't an Edo Tensei... He was actually brought back to life some how? And Shisui two... Itachi said that he was dead, jumped into the naka river...' Thought Naruto as he looked over the village. "How long was I out?"
"Naruto!"
Naruto looked down to see Mei and Sasuke in the ruins of his hospital room. Mei was staring up through the hole in the ceiling at him while Sasuke was checking on yugito, who was unconscious on the ground next to the members of team Naruto. "Hi Mei-chan! You're a sight for sore eyes! Sasuke, there fine. Move them to my home. Then summon grandma and Pervy sage there. I'll meet you there."
And with that, Naruto disappeared.
-main gate-
Gaara and Temari arrived to see Izumo paying Kotetsu a few bills. Upon seeing the raised eyebrow of the Kazekage, Izumo spoke. "We had a bet that you would be the next to pass the gates, he thought Mizukage-Sama would be next."
"So I am to assume that A is already here." Stated Gaara as he moved past the guard station, Temari right behind him. A flash of light appeared before the two and they both disappeared.
Panicked, both the gate guards shouted for Anbu.
-Namikaze mansion-
In a flash, gaara and Temari found themselves in the living room of the Namikaze mansion. On one of the couches were Shisui, Azumi and Remi. Behind the couch was Sasuke and yugito. On another couch was A and Bee, Darui was behind them. On the third couch was Mei. Gaara sat next to her, while Temari stood behind.
"The Hiraishin brought us here. Am I to assume it was your squad Sasuke?" Asked Gaara.
"No. Naruto is awake, but he's acting strangely... Well, he is acting like normal... Regular Naruto. I believe he's getting lady Tsunade and the branches." Stated Sasuke.
Just as he said that, a bright flash lit the room and Naruto, as well as Zabuza, Kakashi, Asuma, Itachi and Tsunade appeared. Naruto took a seat on the empty couch, between Tsunade and Zabuza, while the others followed in behind them. "I know you have a lot of questions, but before I begin, yugito, can you and Sasuke move my team to the rooms?"
Yugito nodded and they scooped up the three students and left the room.
"What is the situation with Iwa. I want all the details." Stated Naruto. Seeing many concerned faces, he elaborated, or as many know it, lied. "I was aware of my surroundings while I was out, but just enough to know that bad things were happening."
"Kitsuchi has 'ordered' a five kage summit, though Jiraiya says that an Iwa messenger has been spotted in Rice, and in iron country. He says that he wants it to be held in iron country, as they have a long standing history of being neutral. Also, everyone is to bring a maximum of two guards." Stated Tsunade.
"Alright... Anything else regarding that? I assume you all got the summons as well?" Naruto asked. Receiving several nods, he leaned back in his spot and frowned.
"It's a trap. A pour one, but a trap. Iron country, while never aligning with anyone, has a trade-only treaty with Iwa. Which means anything conflict related will be against us. He must know I'm weak right now, and even if I bought Jiraiya and Itachi, no one group would be able to over power both the Iwa group and the samurai." Stated Naruto.
"True. But we have each other. There's no way they could overpower twelve S class ninja." Stated Mei.
"That's why I think it's a trap. If there truly is an Iwa messenger in Rice, Orochimaru will be there, and with his edo tensai, I doubt we would stand up to whatever he can summon." Stated Itachi.
"Right. But as it was an actual request, to a neutral location, we cannot ignore it." Stated Naruto. "Who will you all bring?"
"I will bring Darui and C. Bee needs to protect the village." Stated A.
"I'll bring chojiro, but Ao needs to stay in the village." Stated Mei, her face confused and concentrated. "I will use the War Reclamation act to reclaim Zabuza for the summit, if you both don't mind."
"That's fine with me. I will serve under you until I'm needed here." Stated Zabuza, Naruto just nodded.
"I will bring Temari and Matsuri. Kankuro will watch over the village with baki." Stated gaara.
"Just leaves me." Stated Naruto. "Sasuke and Jiraiya. That way the branches can stay and I can keep Yugito and Azumi safe from akasuki while we are preoccupied."
"I'll continue to watch the village while you rest and prepare. I'll also summon Jiraiya back to the village. If we want Iwa to stay in the dark about this meeting, it must seem as if Naruto is still comatose." Stated Tsunade.
"Good. Everyone not going to the summit is dismissed." Stated Naruto, a prankster smile coming over his face. "Let's set a trap for Iwa."
-next day, Iwa-
"Sir, we have a message from konoha and a message from Kumo." Stated Kurotsuchi.
"Well, give them here." Stated Kitsuchi as he reached for the two scrolls, but winced as the pain in his ribs resurfaced. "Damn that Namikaze. Hopefully he will be in worse shape than I."
Kitsuchi read over kumos response. "Good. Kumo will attend the meeting. Though I wish I knew who he will be using as body guards."
"Most likely their jinchuuriki and Darui of the black lightning." Stated Kurotsuchi.
"Indeed." Stated Kitsuchi. He eyed the konoha scroll wearily, it wouldn't be the first time he opened a trap scroll. Steeling his nerves, he broke the seal and tensed.
Nothing happened. He Opened the scroll to reveal it's contents.
'Tsuchikage.
Konoha will send Jiraiya of the sannin and two others to the delegation, in iron country. '
"Yes! If that political idiot is konohas envoy, then we can use any mess up he causes to spark a war with a weakened konoha." Stated Kitsuchi, his mind soaring as he thought how well his plan came together.
"I thought that Jiraiya was one of the most feared men in the world? He is known as the Toad Sage, the same title that Namikaze has." Stated akatsuchi, who had been standing by the door when Kurostuchi walked in.
"While it's true he's powerful, he's a Bafoon outside of battle. I wouldn't be suprised if he declares war on us.
-next day, Konoha-
Naruto sat at his desk, his body weak and his mind racing. 'All of these memories, there not my own, yet they feel like they are. And these new abilities I've learned, there powerful. I can see why Nagato thought of himself as a god. The power of gravity, the ability bring people back to life... It's frightening.'
Truth was, Naruto had considered bringing Nagato back, but hadn't known how, and it was probably better that he remained dead anyway.
A knock at the door aroused him from his musings. "Come in."
-unknown location-
A masked man stood before his subordinates. His only visible eye closed as if in deep thought.
"Reports from Kumo!" Shouted Zetsu as he rose from the ground. "The Raikage plans on going to a summit in iron country."
"A summit? Who will be attending?" Questioned Tobi
"So far we only know of Kumo and Iwa." Stated Zetsu.
"If Kumo is going, then so will Kiri, suna and konoha." Stated sasori. "How damaged is konoha after pains attack?"
"Not at all. No loss of life, and the only ninja out out of commission was the Godaime." Stated Tobi. 'Senseis son is indeed powerful. If I am to enact my plan, I'm going to need some help.'
"We need more fire power then. If konoha stood up to Pein, Kisame, you and the zombies, then they are very strong." Stated sasori.
"We did not aim for deaths and damage. We aimed to get the targets and get out. It does not help that Nagato was blocked off from the village by the Godaime." Stated Tobi. "Once the yobi is sealed in Kakazu, get ready to have the Gobi sealed in you."
-Hidden sound-
"Kabuto... Someone just entered our wing." Stated Orochimaru dangerously.
"Y-yes sir. I believe it's the messenger from Iwa. You did leave a standing order to let them in." Stated Kabuto.
After a few seconds, Orochimaru smiled. "Oh yes, that's right."
A moment later, there was a knock at the chamber door. "Lord Orochimaru, lord Kabuto! An Iwa messenger is here."
"Send them in!" Commanded Orochimaru.
An Iwa ninja walked in, terror in his eyes. Judging from his sash, He was a member of the explosives corps. "L-lord Orochimaru-Sama... Kitsuchi-Sama sends this message as an act of friendship."
The Iwa ninja unsealed a scroll and placed it in the ground, opening it and backing away as he wearily moved away from said scroll.
Having enough of the Iwa nins antics, Kabuto picked up the scroll and read it's contents, his eyes widening. "This is dated almost a week ago..."
"I'm sorry, but I was sent to the north base..." Stated the Iwa nin.
"Then it's kitsuchis fault. Can't kill you for following orders" Stated Orochimaru with a frown as he moved to take the scroll from Kabuto and read it. "A summit hmm? It doesn't say that we are invited, but it does say the location and a time..."
"Could we use this to attack konoha while some key members are out of commission?" Questioned Kabuto, pushing his glasses up.
"No, the brat can just flash back to konoha if he wishes, and those infernal branches will forever be a thorn in my side." Stated Orochimaru with a grimace, before a sinister smile crossed his pale face. "Kabuto, go fetch me a few of the weaker test subjects. I need souls..."
-Raikages office, three days later-
A sat patiently at his desk, waiting for Darui and C to arrive so that they could depart to iron country. Unfortunatly, bee was up to something that he wouldn't tell A about, but it had something to do with the massive spikes of demonic chakra felt from his home.
"Any idea what he's up to A-Sama?" Questioned Darui as he and C walked in.
"No clue. He said he was working on something and won't tell me what." Stated A. "Are we ready to leave."
"Yes, all ready. If we leave in two hours, we will make it in time to be the a peace keeper between Naruto and Iwa." Stated Darui.
-Suna-
Gaara stood at the gates of suna, Temari and Matsuri behind him as he waved goodby to his people.
"Come back soon!"
"Protect the Kazekage!"
"Have my children!" Shouted one voice as a pair of panties hit gaara in the face.
"Neither of you will tell anyone of this." Stated gaara as the panties slid from his face. "Especially Naruto."
-Kiri-
Mei looked out over her village as she, chojiro and Zabuza all walked away from the gates. "This will be a very trying time for the ninja world."
"Yes, it will. But the brat will make everything right. He always does." Stated Zabuza.
"But Naruto-Sama just woke up from a coma. Is he strong enough to fight off Iwa if they wage war?" Questioned choujiro.
"He won't have to. The Branches are more than capable of taking down a nation. Even one as big as Iwa."
-Iwa-
"Are you ready sir?" Asked Kurotsuchi, her voice showing worry. 'The jonin say that a war would konoha would destroy us... What are you thinking uncle?'
"Yes let's move. I cannot wait for this summit." Stated Kitsuchi, his hands balled into fists as his nails dug into his palms.
"Have you perfected the dust release yet sir?" Asked akatsuchi, the large bulking man behind him. 'You should have never killed Onoki, Namikaze... Now we have a real leader as kage, and the village of the leafs will burn to the ground.'
"I have the basics down." Stated Kitsuchi proudly as he began to float. He took the hands of his two body guards and took to the skies. 'Soon Namikaze, when I reveal your secret to the other nations, you will loose your allies, and then I shall burn konoha to the ground.'
