Bold is for attacks

Kale's POV

I heard and explosion off in the distance.

Damn you Madara…attacking ones not even on the battlefield.

"No time to waste we use the Shikaku's final plan now!" I yelled.

"What happened?" Naruto asked.

Is he in denial…or that stupid?

"Rotation!"

The Ten-Tails went to swipe at us but the Hyuga spun and blasted the arm away.

"Stay focused Naruto." I warned "This is gonna get bloody if you don't."

I've already seen that myself.

"In order for this plan to work we need you Naruto." Neji said "Don't lose heart now."

"Wood Style: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu!"

The Ten-Tails raised all its arms and started firing off a array of various spikes to impale us.

"Red Hurricane!" I grabbed the rope attached to my scythe and swung it around to whack them away.

"There's so many!" I yelled.

"Wood Style: Interlocking Dome!"

I clapped my hands and grew a small partition but it was perforated by the wooden spikes.

"Rasen Shuriken!"

Naruto threw a few attacks to break up the barrage but quickly ran out of strength and fell to his knees.

"HYA!" Hinata slid in front of him and blasted back some of the spikes.

"RAOOOOAAA" The Ten-Tails started dragging it's arm along the ground and barraling towards us.

"Emerald Flip!"

A giant beetle appeared and slammed it's horn down to try and push the arm back.

The Seven Tails?!

"Don't worry." Fu called out from on top of him "He's here to help."

"He's…too strong!" the bug buzzed.

"Air Palm!"

Hinata's father pushed the air and knocked the arm back.

"Cutting Jutsu!"

One of the giant fingers pointed right at Naruto.

"Shit." I hissed "I'll never make it!"

"HA!" Hinata stood in front of Naruto to block him but the attack never hit her.

"GAH!"

"Neji!"

"Earth Mountain Jutsu!"

Deidara and that commander from the Rock Village pulled the earth up like a dome and surrounded the Ten-Tails, pinning it in place.

"Attack it now!"

"Naruto!" I landed over by him as he looked at Neji's pierced body.

Oh god this isn't good.

"I need help over here!" Naruto yelled.

"Don't…bother." Neji coughed "It's…too late."

"Neji…" Hinata sniffled.

"Naruto…Hinata is willing to die for you, that's why you're life…isn't the only one…I guess…I was just…one of your extra lives…"

"Why you?" Naruto asked tearing up "Why throw your life away for me?"

"Because." Neji smiled "You…called me a genius."

The mark on Neji's forehead, the one all side branch Hyuga have till they pass…slowly faded away.

"Didn't you say that you weren't going to let your friends die?" the man with Madara, Obito, yelled "Well Naruto look around…still wanna say that? Feel the life leave them as they turn cold, realize their death! You're words mean nothing, this is what ideals and principals get you, everyone you've ever loved is dead, and more will be added, no one acknowledging you will survive! Loneliness is all you'll have left!"

"Stop despairing." Hinata put her hand on Naruto's face "Don't you understand what Neji was saying before. What you believe, that no one has to die, that dream isn't a lie! Neji came this far believing in that with you. Everyone here is connected, we can't give up on those words or everything Neji did…will have been for nothing and you really will get your friends killed. So stand up! Not going back on your words, that's my Ninja Way too."

"RAAAA!" the Ten-Tails wrapped itself up in its arms and aimed another bomb at its feet.

"It's going point blank!" I yelled.

"I'm ready to go!" Killed Bee yelled as Sai used his Ink birds to get in close.

He jumped off and transformed into the Eight-Tails in midair, landing in the Ten-tails' mouth and firing a blast down its throat. The Ten-Tails expanded to contain the explosion in its guts.

"Thanks Hinata." Naruto said standing up holding Hinata's hand "For staying with me."

Naruto's chakra spiked and her glowed a bright yellow orange color and a chakra cloak surrounded him.

"Let's go! Hinata!"

"Yes!"

The chakra flowed from Naruto and surrounded Hinata as well.

So it's that malleable…Shikaku was right.

"Alright Naruto!" I said slapping his back and stealing a cloak from him "Let's do this!"

Naruto sent his clones out around the battle field to share his Chakra with them.

"AAARRAA!" The Ten-Tails sent an arm and us.

"Air Palm!"

Hinata struck the air and knocked the attack back.

Talk about a boost.

"Wood Style: Gate of a Minor God!"

A red shrine arch pinned the arm down.

"That won't hold long!" I warned.

"Stich it down!" Shikamaru yelled as his clan used their shadows told hold the Ten-Tails in place "Hurry it won't hold long!"

"Stop slacking!" I snapped.

My Dad and a few of the other clan members landed next to me and we all mimicked the same Jutsu.

"Deafening Blast!"

We pushed the beast back and set everyone us.

"Tailed Beast Bomb!" Seven and Eight Tails both fired off two powerful blasts to knock the explode and harm the beast.

"Everyone else is attacking." I said as the main force moved forward "The Hidden Technique."

"It's risky." Dad said.

"Take a risk or we all end up dead." I said "All of you now!"

Even with Naruto's boost everyone is low on Chakra, the Hidden Technique of my clan may push them just enough.

"HA!" we all clapped our hands "Chakra Magic!"

Suddenly the levels of Chakra in the army spiked and refilled, fueling them to fly though and cut off three of the Ten-Tails' arms. I suppose Madara decided that now it was time to be serious because he and Obito were breathing fire towards us.

"Parting of Red Seas!" Mom stepped in front and moved her arms, sending the fire around the army.

"It's The Flame Princess!" someone yelled.

A Susanoo appeared and fired various weapons at us but Naruto's Chakra protected everyone and batted them back.

"Naruto above!" I warned as the air rippled.

"HYAA!" Obito tried to attack Naruto but Naruto easily flashed away to dodge.

"You're only defending." Obito warned "Protecting everyone is impossible."

"Since you're alone you can't understand." Naruto said "Having everyone close to me makes e stronger!"

"Naruto." I warned as I swung at Obito but missed "Ten-Tails is building up chakra."

Naruto and Kiba both tried to attack but Obito warped away to dodge us.

"The pain of your friends death is a bond?" Obito asked "Then why protect them."

"I'm getting sick of you talking!" Naruto yelled "Quit with your stupid reasoning, I'll stand any pain for my friends I'm not giving up on them. Maybe I'm being selfish but not having my friends here would be the most painful thing."

Hmm…someone is coming this way…a strong Chakra…no…four strong chakras.

"RAAAAAAA!" The Ten-Tails broke free of its latest prison and roared loudly.

"Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto yelled as our teacher engaged Obito.

"I'll leave the stuff here to you guys. He said warping away.

"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!" the air itself concussed as the Ten-tails roared, knocking us back and splitting the clouds and churning up a tempest.

This thing is a force of Nature!

"What the?!" I gasped as a strange white strand wrapped my up and pulled me into the air.

I was dropped on top of the Seven Tailed Beetle.

"Fu?" I asked.

"Sit." She patted a spot on the horn "Chomei has to talk to you."

"Who?"

"The beetle." She said "That's his name."

"Okay." I shrugged and sat next to her "Uhh…hello?"

"Yeah listen up kid." An energetic but powerful voice said "Naruto and Kurama are gonna run out of Chakra any second now, the Ten-Tails is prepping for it's grand attack, no matter what you cannot let the flower bloom."

"I don't-."

"Trust me." He said "I need to go make more Chakra for Fu but you guys are about to get to the serious part, don't mess this up."

"Alright." I nodded as he was sucked back into Fu.

The green haired girl grabbed me and flew us to the ground where the others were. Just like Chomei predicted Naruto's chakra was drained and Sakura was doing her best to heal him.

"BLEH!" the Ten-Tails coughed and a flower grew out of his mouth.

"That's the flower!" Fu said "We can't let it finish this transformation!"

The Ten-Tails began to build up the energy for its next blast.

"It's after Naruto." Choji said.

"It's getting bigger" Shikamaru hissed.

"What are we gonna do." Someone said.

They're panicking.

"Stop hesitating!" Sakura yelled "Naruto is doing everything he can! Everyone here is our comrades! I'll have Naruto fully recovered everyone must do what they can."

"If we're gonna die anyway I'd rather die fighting!" I yelled.

Deidara's POV

"Can you hear me?"

"Shikamaru?" I asked "You talking in my head?"

"Shut up and listen." He said "I need you to teach me the seals for a simple earth wall Jutsu that anyone can use."

"An Earth wall won't stop that blast." I said "It's gonna be an explosion."

"We'll have to fight quality with quantity." He said.

"It's gonna crumble like dried up clay." I warned.

"It's fine so long as we keep building more as they break." He said "We just ah veto slow it down. Still if the Rock can build stronger walls to support us."

"Alright, I don't know if it'll work but I can show you the seals."

"Hang on a sec…Fu, Bee can you slow it down with Bombs?"

"Chomei only has a little Chakra but it should be enough for a quick transformation." Fu said.

"You got it!" Bee cheered.

"Alright!" Shikamaru said "We're connected to everyone."

"Follow me I'm only doing this once." I warned.

I moved my hands through the motions "Earth Wall!"

I slammed my hands down and a miles worth of earth panels rose up to block the attack. The bomb barreled down on us, smashing through the earth walls.

I knew it there's no way it's gonna be enough.

"HRAA!" The Giant Octopus and Beetle landed before us and tried to stop the bomb with their tentacles and horns.

"COME ON!" The beetle yelled "WHOA!"

The bomb just…vanished.

Kale's POV

"It's gone." I gasped.

A kunai suddenly landed before us and someone flashed in.

"Am I late?" he asked.

"No." Naruto smirked "You're right on time Dad."

"Who's he?" Sakura gasped.

"I'm Minato Namikaze." He smiled "You should brace for the aftershock."

This man is…the Fourth Hokage!

The sea nearby suddenly exploded and a powerful air wave passed over us.

"What the-."

"I sent the attack to the see." The Fourth explained.

"Your dead." I pointed out "Your eyes are that of a resurrection."

"Don't worry I'm here to help." He smiled "You look familiar…what's your name?"

"Kale Magonius." I said.

"Oh wow…I remember when you were a baby, I worked with your parents a lot." He laughed and looked at Sakura "Thank you for helping Naruto recover, are you perhaps…his girlfriend?"

"Umm…yeah." Naruto nodded "More or Less."

"Shut up!" Sakura punched him in the back of the head.

"HAHA!" I laughed.

"You're supposed to heal me not hurt me." Naruto whined.

"Relax I'll heal that too." Sakura grumbled "You're awfully calm about all this."

"I felt his Chakra in Fox Mode." Naruto explained.

"You as fast as ever Minato." The Third dropped in.

"Your flash is better than mine." Another joined him.

"Shall we begin?" The Final arrival said.

That's…Hashirama.

"The Four Hokage." I gasped.

"So you guys stopped the attack?" Sakura asked.

"Orochimaru summoned us." The Third explained "We have to end this war."

"Orochimaru is dead." I said "Or…he's supposed to be."

"We've got more coming but they're a little late." Naruto told us.

"HASHIRAMA!" Madara jumped down.

"Shut up and wait!" the First Hokage yelled "I'm stopping the Ten-Tails first! By the way it's charging at us."

"Oh crap!"

"Naruto you take a break." His Dad said "Your friend is coming too…and he's on our side."

Minato was covered in a cloak like Naruto and he quickly flashed the Second and Third Hokage into positions around the Ten-Tails. The First Hokage stayed at our location.

"Four Crimson Ray Formation!"

A large red barrier rose up and trapped the Ten-Tails.

"Wood Style: Gate of a Great God!"

Ten arches grew and pinned the tails of the beast.

"That was the true power of a Wood User." I marveled at the man "Incredible."

Madara was fight…I'm nowhere near as strong as he is…not yet at least.

"Hmph!" the air rippled as two people landed before us.

"You're late." Naruto smiled.

"Sasuke?" I wondered.

"Kale…Sakura." He looked at us briefly.

"S-Sasuke?!" Sakura gasped.

Everyone was gathered around now.

"You're all as noisy as ever." He grumbled.

"Why are you here?" Sakura asked.

"Some things happened…but I decided to protect the village and…I will become Hokage." He said.

"HUH?!" we all yelled.

"This isn't the fricken time for dumb jokes!" Kiba yelled.

"It is out of place." Fu laughed.

"Do you just think you can erase what's happened?" Shino asked.

"I know that…but I don't care what you all think." Sasuke said "The Kages created this situation so I'll become Hokage and change the village."

"Hmph." Naruto smirked and stood up "I'm the one who's gonna be Hokage."

"Well as the only person who can use Wood Style like the first it should fall to me." I smiled.

"How can you even do that anyway?" Sakura asked.

"As pleased as I am to see so many willing Hokage candidates you should prepare for the Ten-Tails!" Hashirama warned.

"Thanks for healing me." Naruto told Sakura "Get some rest."

He and Sasuke jumped up to a nearby outcropping and I was close behind.

"Hm." Sakura landed next to me "Do you just think of me as some weak girl, Lady Tsunade trains her students just as well as the other Four."

"Sakura…" Naruto said.

"I've almost stored the needed chakra, you'll see me real power soon. I'm disciple of the Four too, and a member of Team Seven." She said.

"Right." Naruto smiled.

"Alright!" he punched his fist "Team 7 is back in action!"
