Fu's POV

That strange bird, it came out of Naruto.

"Good it's there." Itachi sighed.

The bird flew out of Naruto and looked at us.

"It's an Amaterasu!" Nageto warned.

Bee threw one of his sword but the bird dodged and looked right at Itachi.

"It's a dud?" I wondered.

The crow landed on Naruto's shoulder and this time an Amaterasu hit the hound, burning it.

He missed?

"It worked!" Itachi turned to face Nageto "Amaterasu!"

He squinted and black flames engulfed the giant bird, and Nageto with it.

"Hmph." Itachi landed next to us "Fear not I've layered my Genjutsu over the enemies, I am free of the Inhuman Resurrection."

"A layered Genjutsu." I wondered.

"Yes, an order…protect Konoha." Itachi explained "I set the crow to trigger with my Mangekyou Sharingan, it was a safety net. That crow has the ultimate Genjutsu eye, Shisui's Mangekyou Koto Amatsukami."

Another Uchiha…

"The most powerful Genjutsu user in the history of the Uchiha?" Bee asked.

"Shushi's eyes could create powerful Genjutsu, controlling people before they even saw him." Itachi explained "I embedded the directive Protect Konoha into that eye, placed the eye in that crow and entrusted the crow to Naruto, still I never planned to use it on myself."

"Why give it to me though?" Naruto asked.

"Self-Sacrifice, a shinobi who protects his village from the shadows that is a true ninja…" Itachi explained "Shisui taught me that. I was trusted with that eye to protect the village, and I gave it to you because the two of you shared the same ideals. If my brother ever became a threat to the village the holder of Shisui's eye would have to correct my mistake. You said Sasuke was like a brother to you, so I trusted you knowing after I died Sasuke would take my eyes. If you two had fought then the crow would emerge and place the directive into Sasuke."

"Itachi…just leave it to me." Naruto smiled.

To think so many steps ahead…Itachi Uchiha is a genius.

"God's Push!"

The black flames on Nageto's body were pushed off by a repulsion wave and his Reincarnation quickly repaired itself.

"Where did he go?!"

"Almighty Push!"

Half the forest was suddenly leveled as another pulse wave shot off and destroyed most of the land. We quickly saw the hidden salamander and got to Nageto.

"Let's go Bee!" I smiled flying behind Nageto.

"Right, let's hope this works!" He said covering himself in tailed beast Chakra "I've never done this one someone besides bro."

"Don't worry." I held my arm out "My armor won't crack!"

We both shot forward and sandwiched Nageto between our arms.

"Fifteen Tailed Lariat!"

"BAH!" Nageto groaned as our attack crashed into him.

"AH!" I gasped as I suddenly felt weak.

"Let him go!" Bee said as Nageto's hair turned red "He's sucking out our Chakra!"

Nageto let us go and grabbed Naruto as soon as he tried to get in the fight.

"Human Path."

He reached into Naruto's chest and started to pulled his soul out.

"RAHH!" I changed my arms into Mantis' legs and got ready so slice only to be confronted by a metal arm "Not that one!"

He's got the power of all Six Pains.

"Susanoo!"

Itachi dropped in and quickly managed to separate the three of us from Nageto.

"If he's got the power of all six paths this will be nearly impossible." I warned.

"His movements are totally different." Naruto said "This isn't even close to like the last time we fought."

"HA!" Nageto raised a hand into the air and a large black ball formed and started attracting everything.

"It's like a black hole!" I yelled.

"If that gets us it's over!" Naruto warned "We'll be crushed."

"That black mass is the core." Itachi said "if we destroy that the whole sphere will break apart."

"We can't aim like this." I pointed out as I dodged rubble.

"We don't have to aim." Itachi nodded "It attracts everything."

"Then in that case…"

"Rasen Shuriken!"

"Tailed Beast Bomb!"

"Silvermist Ball!"

"Magatama!"

The four of us all launched large projectile at the ball, the attacks slammed into the ball, shattering it and raining rubble down on us. When the dust cleared Itachi had managed to connect part of his Susanoo to Nageto.

"I'm sorry…" Nageto stared off.

"This is the Sword of Totsuka, I will seal you now." Itachi said "Do you have anything you want to say?"

"Naruto…I'm going to go back to my Master's place now and watch over you." Nageto smiled "I am of the opinion you are the third and final book of our trilogy. The first book is like Jiraiya it was perfect, the second book is usually dull and full of pointless development, like me…and the third book…the last book decided as series true value, Naruto be a masterpiece and write over the stain I left."

Itachi snipped the connection and seal Nageto away, putting him back at rest.

"I really hate that Resurrection Technique." Naruto grumbled.

"Forcing the dead to do your dirty work, how cruel." I sighed.

"I will deal with the Resurrection user." Itachi said "I will leave Madara to all of you."

"I can still stop it." Naruto said trying to make a clone but losing his Nine Tails mode.

"You shouldn't use anymore chakra for a bit." Bee told him.

"There's no reason to overdo it." Itachi said "I have a plan you shouldn't worry."

"I can deal with this, I'll settle this war." Naruto said.

"Naruto." I smiled "Ever since I met you I've known you are a person to put his friends first and work with people, so why are you trying to carry the world on your shoulders now, let people help you."

"If you become too egotistical you'll end up like Madara." Itachi warned "You're father became Hokage because he had people like your mother to rely on, you should do that same. Becoming Hokage won't make people acknowledge you, people acknowledging you will make you Hokage."

"Naruto I made a promise to that Iruka guy." Bee said "I told him I would protect you, I ain't letting you go off alone."

"Ha…you guys are right." Naruto sighed "I guess I just got obsessed with having something to do."

"I will leave this matter and Sasuke to you." Itachi said burning his crow "You are special Naruto, remember that. Killer Bee, Fu I will entrust Naruto to you."

"Right!" Bee and I gave him a thumbs up as Itachi flew off.

"Alright!" Naruto engulfed himself in Chakra "Let's go!"

Kale's POV

"You're a fricken pain in my ass!" I yelled slamming my scythe down.

"It's a mirage, didn't you say you were the smart one?" the Mizukage groaned "I told you, attacking me is useless you have to aim for the clam!"

"I did that!" I snapped "And it was a mirage too! Can't you just tell me where the real you and the clam are!"

"I told you there behind me!" he yelled.

"Six Layer Seal!" I placed my fingers to my mouth "Gush!"

I let off a blast of water at the Mizukage but like before it went through him and shattered the rock.

"This is such a pain in the ass!" I said.

"I've told you how to beat me!"

"You an idiot if you think you've given good advice!" I snapped "I've attack the mirage, behind the mirage and the opposite direction a dozen times you moron nothing is working!"

I need to find the real copy of the clam.

No POV

"Duck Onoki!" Mu warned as he fired off another beam of particles.

"Crap." The old man grabbed his back "I won't make it!"

"Katsu!"

The mummy's hand was suddenly blow in a different direction by a small explosion.

"Sorry it too me so long." Deidara's various mouths licked their lips "You're not dead yet are you Master?"

"What are you doing here?" the old man grumbled.

"They told me you left the HQ and thought it would be too dangerous for you, even near the Kazekage, so I was transferred over to lend a hand."

"Onoki, is this your pupil?" Mu asked.

"Something like that." The Tsuchikage sighed.

"So Master, this is your Master huh?" Deidara cracked his neck "Oh this is gonna be a blast."
