Leaf and Earth versus Sand and Sound: Part 2
Kenji teleported and fell on the ground of a shelter in front of Tsunade who was guarding the civilians with several Anbu guarding the primaces along with several academy Chunin teachers.
"Kenji? Oh my goodness."
"M-mom…I-"
Tsunade turned him over to see blood pooling from his wound. She tore off both sleeves of her shirt and took off his jacket as she put pieces of the shirt over her adoptive son's wounds. She began to apply the Mystical Palm Technique to his stab wound. Luckily, she hadn't fought many people, only a sound ninja that claimed to be a part of Orochimaru's elite guard. If that was his elite guard then he'll be in trouble in the future.
"Who could've done this to you?" she asked
Kenji was breathing heavily as he couldn't even speak and he focused on resonating his ki with her chakra to allow it to enter her chakra to heal his wounds faster. His body began to feel warm and a relief to all his pain surged throughout his body. His eyes that were closed tight were now relaxed as he began to breathe slower. Soon he began to open them to see Tsunade with her glowing hand over another wound he received on his left shoulder.
In the village square:
Vegeta and Trunks landed on a building near the battle.
"Trunks, it's time to use our full power and there are no civilians around to be collateral."
"But what about the building of the village father?"
"That can be rebuilt. Hold nothing back!" he said as a purple aura danced around him.
Trunks held his sword in both hands in front of him and a white aura danced around him.
They launched in tandem as Trunks slashed a crescent wave of ki at King Vegeta in his ape form. The ape back fisted Han in his Kokuo form sending him reeling back and shot a ball of ki from his mouth at the crescent wave. Vegeta cupped his right hand over his left and pushed his hands forward.
"Galick Gun!"
The attack hit the mouth cannon but both attacks were blasted through and Vegeta and Trunks had to dodge. Trunks flashed through the ruined building to get behind King Vegeta. Vegeta charged to attack the giant ape and the beast gave a demonic smirk as he yelled and a wave of pushed the ruins and the ninja attacking him and battling around him away with a show of force. As he did this Han in his tailed beast form jumped towards him opening his mouth as a tailed beast ball. King Vegeta held out a hand creating a kiai pulse to push the beast away from him, but Kukuo dodged and ran to him. King Vegeta smirked as he held out his right hand and caught the tailed beast ball as it blew off his hand and created a large shockwave that caused the area around them to be destroyed and a cloud of dust, falling debris and smoke was kicked up.
Han in his Kokuo avatar was sent sailing back across the village. Vegeta pushed a heap of rubble debris off of himself and stood looking at his fathers hand reforming. As their eyes met the King began to speak,
"Vegeta, my son! It's good to see you again. Though I would rather not be attacking the home you've chosen"
Soon Trunks landed next to him after jumping out of a giant heap of rubble. Vegeta smirked as he spoke.
"Yes father, after the hidden cloud betrayed us I took up residence with the Namikaze clan in the land of lightning. I have killed many hidden cloud ninja and joined their greatest enemy, the Hidden Leaf. My son, Trunks, stands with me in battle as well."
"W-wait he's-"
"Of course, I've long surpassed you now." Vegeta said as he began to unleash his full power causing the grown to crack.
Trunks was still as he observes his father and he smirks as he steps back.
"And now I'll be sending you back to the afterlife!"
Vegeta held out his hands and a shockwave emitted from his body causing Trunks and the other ninja behind him to leap backwards away from him.
Vegeta held out both hands as his purple aura transmitted to two orbs of ki and they began to crackling as electricity danced around them. Han in his Kokuo state began to condense as his chakra began to shroud around him. Steam began to shroud around him as he stood in a Black ronin hat with white underlining, with a white ethereal cloak. His haori with a black shirt under with a swirl in the middle, with 5 magatama going down from the collar to the front of the shirt. He had a swirl on his back with 5 magatama circled around them with a decent amount of space. His pants were black with white circle around the knees and black shinobi sandals. His eyes began to glow emerald as his sight reached across the battlefield.
"It seems I have to resort to my full power as well. This undead beast must be stopped" he said as his power began to irradiate
"Trunks, I will handle him. So stay back"
Trunks nodded as he sheathed his sword and took a step back with the others. Mizuki who was looking at the battle smirked as he let his curse seal activate. His seal spread across his body and he began to transform into a tiger. He grew fur and had claws as his ears became tiger-like. Soon he grew a furry tiger tale and his feet burst on his sandals and became clawed and beast-like. He jumped and landed in front of Han who scoffed at him.
"What a fool. You believe that you can stand against me with such a meager transformation."
Mizuki smirked as a dark aura of chakra began to swirl around him. He took out a syringe and stabbed it into his wrist as he began to grow the head of a second and third tiger out of his collar bones. He grew 2 more arms out of his ribs and he gave a demonic smile. Han narrowed his eyes as he grimaced at Mizuki.
"With King Vegeta under my control and the cursed seal of Orochimaru, no one can stop me!" he yelled as he launched into action at him.
He dodged Mizuki and held up his arm as steam wrapped around his right arm as he swung his fist at Mizuki who dodged his punch. Han smirked as he back fisted Mizuki in one of his 3 faces, sending him flying into a broken down house, as he flew through a wall. He spoke while not looking at Vegeta, keeping his eyes on his opponent.
"Saiyan, I leave him in your hands. If you aren't done when I get back I'll be finishing him"
"No need, it'll be over soon"
He yelled and shot out a giant ki blast at the ape and he slapped the attack away, sending it far away to explode on the far side of the village. Vegeta launched at his father and smashed a fist into his father's face, sending him reeling. He tries to swipe at him as Vegeta dodges and smashes an elbow into his face, and then he follows up with an axe kick into the top of the forehead of the ape. He kicked off of the beasts head and the beast opened its mouth as he shot a blast of ki at his son. Vegeta shot a ki blast to match the attack and caused an explosion sending him flying back as he flipped and landed on his feet. He held out his hands creating a blue ki ball in front of him, and he began to shoot out a barrage of blue ki blasts towards the giant ape who roared and pushed back the ki blasts away with ease sending them landing and exploding across the village.
"Teh, seems like I'll have to put on the pressure!" he said with a smirk
With Kenji and Tsunade:
After 30 minutes of healing he began to stand on his feet shakily. A couple of the civilians began to try to help him stand up. Soon, he began to thank them as he stood on his own and he began to walk forward. Tsunade pressed a hand on his shoulder.
"You're going back out there? You're in no condition to go back"
Kenji took a food pill out of and ate it as he continued to walk forward. His ki circulates as his chakra begins to build itself back up. His aura was circulating around him as he looked over at Tsunade.
"Don't worry. It'll all be over soon" he said as he felt his power skyrocketing as he looked at his hands"
He looked back with a smirk as he teleported away.
Chunin exam stadium:
Noridasu was standing in his killing fist standing with dirt and wounds all over his body. His robe was burned from ki blasts from General Tao. Said man stood in front of his opponent with a few bruises and burns of his own. Their eyes were locked in an internal battle of wills, until Tien and Chiaotzu landed on each side of Noridasu.
"Tien, Chiaotzu, what is the meaning of this?" he asked them with anger in his eyes
"Master Tao, you've corrupted the ways of the crane school! You agreed to attack the innocent! How could you?"
Mercenary Tao, snarled at his students in anger.
"You think you can get away with betrayal?!"
"You agreed to kill innocent people! I know my sins but I'm willing to suffer the consequences of my actions!" he said as his ki began to build
"Master, you must be stopped" Chiaotzu said
Noridasu didn't let his guard down as he prepared to engage in heavy combat.
Tao General grimaced as he got into his Crane Fist stance. He couldn't believe that his own disciples turned on him as he stood to face them. The atmosphere began to tense up from the ki levels combating one another.
Tien and Chiaotzu leapt in to attack General Tao. He smirked as he blocked a punch from Tien and a drop kick from Chiaotzu.
"Humph!"
They jumped back as Noridasu shot a Hadouken at him causing him to grab the attack with both hands and then he gathered ki in his hands to disperse. As the ki dispersed he dodged a Dodon Ray from Tien. As he jumped he found himself caught in a hold form Chiaotzu and he pointed his finger at him and shot out a Dodon ray. The young man dodged as he had to flip backwards and float away.
General Tao scoffed as he held his hands in a triangle formation.
"Oh no! Dodge!"
"Tri-Beam HAAAAAA!"
His triangulated hands began to glow and he shot a blast of ki towards his opponents. All 3 of them dodged and he continued to shoot tri-beams at them and he hit other ninjas and civilians in the process.
"Tch, dammit!"
Noridasu cupped his hands behind him and created a baseball sized blue orb. He began to add fire and wind chakra to the orb as it grew in size swirling with the force of a whirlwind. He started channeling fire ki into the attack as well. He pushed his hands forward and yelled
"SHAKUNETSU!" firing a flaming Hadouken
General Tao held up his triangle gestured hands and shot out another Tri-Beam at the attack and they clashed on the battlefield, creating a giant crater, kicking up dust, debris and smoke. Tien and Chiaotzu landed next to him and they pointed their hands towards the clash and shot out two Super Dodon Rays into the blast to help defeat Mercenary Tao. He grimaced and jumped out of the way, but his right arm was incinerated by the backlash of the wave.
"Urraaaaaggghhhh!" he yelled out in pain
His right arm was burned off as he landed and dropped to one knee. Noridasu landed in front of him with Tien and Chiaotzu and said
"Master Tao, we're leaving this place! We've done enough!"
"You dare to order me!" he yelled, kicking Tien in his stomach, then he jumped away from them into the stands.
He looked back as he said
"Don't even think about coming back to the Crane School!" He said as he leapt away into the crowd of people battling.
Tien clenched his fists as he started to go after his master, but Noridasu put a hand on his shoulder causing him to look back. He shook his head and told him
"If you wish to do good, then help us drive the Sand and Sound out of our village"
Tien nodded and he and Chiaotzu followed Noridasu into battle.
Shikaku Nara, Ionichi Yamanaka and Chouza Akimichi were fighting off foreign shinobi while protecting citizens. He had multiple ninja held down while his two comrades defeated all the sound ninjas. Tien, Noridasu and Chiaotzu jumped in to defeat several ninja approaching their battle as well.
Shikaku looked at them briefly and locked eyes with Noridasu who nodded and he gave a brief nod back as he realized they were not his foes. Some a mutant sound ninja with a cursed seal launched towards Chouza and he put his hands in the rat seal to wrap around the curse marked ninja.
"Chouza, Now!"
The leaf ninja raised an enlarged fist and he punched the sound ninja sending him crashing into a wall, making an indent. Another group of ninjas tried to attack Shikaku from behind and he smirked.
"Shadow Stitching Jutsu!"
He poured chakra into the technique and his shadow gre several tendrils and stabbed through all of the shinobi.
"Humph, this is getting troublesome" he said to himself as he saw more ninjas on the way.
Xxx
Kenji teleported back to the top of the Hokage's monument and picked up several of his Hiraishin kunai and his sword. He sheathed his blade and put the kunai away. He looked at the edo tensei great ape and saw Vegeta battling it. He went through hand signs as he looked at the spectacle. He began to flow and flew towards the battle. He realized he had to stop the battle between Vegeta and King Vegeta or they would destroy the village.
As he got close, King Vegeta saw him, but Kenji threw his kunai and it stabbed into the base of the tail. As King Vegeta turned around to swat at him Vegeta kicked the beast in his side, while Kenji teleported behind him to the base of the tail, drew his tanto and slashed the limb off. As he did so, he slammed a contract release seal on the beast, freeing him from Mizuki's control.
He leapt back and King Vegeta began to shrink back to his normal size. Mizuki was sent flying into the clearing by a 6 path cloaked Han who seemed to barely be trying.
"Is that all you have?" Han asked lazily
Mizuki grunted as he tried to stand up but Vegeta shot a giant ki blast at him, vaporizing the traitorous chunin. Han scoffed as he powered down.
"He wasn't much of a threat, I had him. But whatever."
King Vegeta stood as he looked at Vegeta and Trunks who landed next to him.
"My son, you've truly grown. To be so strong even without your tail, truly you have surpassed my expectations"
Then he looked at Trunks with a grin
"And you must be my grandson! What is your name, boy?"
Trunks bowed and rose his head back up.
"My name is Trunks"
"I see. I wish we could've fought, but your father decided to be a showboat. Ah well, no matter, from the way you carry yourself, I see a warrior."
Kenji walked up as he put away his over Hiraishin kunai.
"Hmmmm, and who are you?"
"My name is Kenji Namikaze. Son of the 4th Hokage. But my lineage on my grandfather's side has Saiyan Heritage"
"Humph, it's good to see that my son has affiliated himself with fellow Saiyans."
King Vegeta smirked
"My time is short. My son, do you know how the Hidden Cloud got their sneak attack on the Saiyans?"
"I heard that it was a Saiyan working with them" he said with narrowed eyes
"The Hidden Cloud worked with the Dark Empire and a Creature made of pure Darkness. Half of his face was pure white and half of his face pure black. When we were invaded we fought the 3rd Raikage, that creature, over 300 cloud ninja and a handful of Demons. Find Nappa and Raditz, they escaped in pairs just like you and Kakarot. They know what happened." King Vegeta said
Vegeta clenched his fist as he looked at his father.
"So, there's another player in this game, what are you telling me?"
King Vegeta nodded.
"They ended up double crossing them as well. As I lost my dying breath, I watched the 3rd Raikage fight them after they tried to take the 8 tails Jinchuriki"
"First Frieza, now the Dark Empire!"
"He's nothing compared to them son. Nothing but a relic of the past. I have faith that you will do away with them and get justice for the Saiyans and our new planet. Regardless if we stuck to the old ways of the Saiyans, this is our home, we were allies of Hagoromo and Hamura. Protect this world."
Vegeta nodded as he realized he would need to relay this information to the Leaf Council. King Vegeta's body started to flicker and chip away and he put a hand on Vegeta. He smirked at him and nodded back, and his spirit lifted out of the corpse he was invading. He fell and the body of Dosu dropped with a thud.
Several leaf chunin landed near them and spoke.
"Lord Hokage has been severely injured, and the Tsuchikage has taken him to the hospital where he's being healed but they're in the middle of a battle with several sound ninja, Team 7 and Shikamaru Nara were sent after the Sand Jinchuriki and Orochimaru is battling in the stadium."
Kenji's eye's widened as he searched for his brother's life signature. His eyes widened as he began to move towards his brother's location.
"Kenji wait!" Trunks yelled
"Leave him be Trunks. We need to go help out at the stadium."
"What about Son Wukong?"
"Can't you sense their power levels? His children are on the way to help him as we speak, now let's go." Vegeta said as he flew towards the stadium with Trunks in toe
With Naruto and co. :
The blonde looked at Gaara with a serious gaze.
"Heh, you and I are two sides to the same coin. Master Han of the Hidden Stone is also just like us. He fights to protect those he cares about, just like we do. I can only imagine the loneliness you've dealt with. If I didn't have those who loved and cherished me, I'd have ended up like you. I don't know what it's like to be all alone, but even though I wasn't alone, I had my fair share of people who feared and hated me for what I housed. But, I became strong because I had people to protect" Naruto said
Gaara snarled but he couldn't deny the power of Naruto and the power of Han he had felt earlier. Could he really find people to protect? Was fighting for only himself not enough? Was his thinking really flawed? His train of thought was broken as he heard an unnatural swirl coming from the middle of the battlefield. Two figures came out of the spiraling portal. One of the people had an orange swirl mask and the other was a 6 foot man with short brown hair, 3 tomoe sharingan eyes, and light skin, with a code gaze about him.
"Well, now, we have two jinchuriki here, Madara. Looks like it's time for us to start collecting." Sosetsu said.
Naruto grunted in irritation at the appearance of the akatsuki members. Sasuke and Naruto landed in front of an injured Gaara. Temari, who had been watching, landed in front of her brother in a defensive position.
"Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Madara Uchiha, founder of the Uchiha clan"
"What? How can the founder of the Uchiha clan be alive?" Sasuke asked
"Wouldn't you like to know my little offspring hehehe"
"You! You're the rogue Uchiha who took control of the 9 tails aren't you? Yea it has to be you because Kurama's instincts have me wary of you" Naruto said
Gaara and Temari looked at him in anticipation for battle as they were poised to attack.
"Your numbers won't make a difference, you're all too young and don't have the experience to defeat us. After all, if I am who you say I am then how will you stop me?" Madara said
Gaara stood as his sand began to dance around him. There was a tense silence between the leaf genin and the akatsuki.
"Enough talk!" Sosetsu said
Sosetsu blurred out of sight and back into sight, slashing at Sasuke diagonally. Said Uchiha dodged by leaning back. Naruto drew a kunai as slashed him and his opponent blocked the attack with his sword as well. Sasuke twisted his body drawing his tanto and slashed at Sosetsu who jumped back with a smirk on his face.
"Good, good, it would be boring if I could just kill you both."
Sasuke stood back up and he and Naruto leapt into action. Naruto reared back for a punch while Sasuke performed a roundhouse kick. Sosetsu blocked the two attacks with his knee and arm. He stabbed Sasuke who drew a kunai from his sleep, blocking the sword. Naruto threw another straight jab at the akatsuki member but he grabbed the sword and performed a leg sweep causing Sasuke to jump. As he spun, Sosetsu threw Naruto to the side. Sosetsu went through a one handed seal and created a shadow clone. Then the clone attacked Naruto and he drew a kunai and slashed at Sosetsu's clone. Said copy blocked the kunai swipe and he channeled lightning chakra in his hand and shot a yellow lightning beam out of his finger and Naruto moved his head out of the way and was pushed back from the clash by being forced back.
Sasuke was clashing blades with Sosetsu being pushed back as his opponent was fast. He stabbed at Sosetsu's foot and he jumped back throwing a volley of shuriken at him.
Gaara and Temari stood facing Madara. He was walking forward with ease as he spoke
"Oh! The one tail has some bite to it eh?"
He stood waiting for them to make a move with his arms crossed. He knew they couldn't react to him but he chose to wait on them. Temari drew her fan like a staff and lunged in to swing her giant fan at him. Her attack went through Madara as if his body was transparent. She spun on her heel and swung the fan horizontally at him again, but she ended up moving through him. As she did he fazed through her and back fisted her, sending her flying towards a tree, and she cracked into it and grunted in pain. He went further to press on his attack but a giant hand made of sand caused him to dodge and back flip across the field.
"Good, it seems your control over the sand is as good as they say" He said, holding out both hands in a wingspan gesture.
Gaara grimaced as his sand returned to ring around him in a circle. He punched the ground as spikes of sand pierced from the ground as they tried to tear through Obito who stood relaxed. He started to walk towards Gaara and he also ran through a wind scythe jutsu from Temari as he continued to run. Gaara smirked as he held his hand forward and a burst of sand was sent at Obito, but he ran through it. He realized he would have to jump backwards from the masked man as he created a shower of sand shuriken at his opponent. Gaara remembered that Obito had to jump back after a certain amount of time, so there had to be a time limit to his intangibility. The red head grimaced as he held out his hands and a halberd of sand with a double axe headed blade formed in his grasp. He spun it and gripped it, grabbing it with his other hand as well.
Xxx
With Jiraiya:
He stood atop Gamabunta as he channeled into his feet to stand atop the giant toad. He and Gamabunta were fighting 5 giant snakes and he killed 2. The frog had a black jacket with the kanji for boss on the back of it. They were having trouble battling the slithering beats as they lured them away from the village.
"Toad Blade Cut!" Gamabunta yelled as he cut through another giant snake and cause it to puff away.
Soon, Bunta had to jump away into the forest as another snake shot a gust of venom at the two.
"Bunta, gimme some oil!"
"You got it"
The toad stabbed his sword into the ground as he landed and put his hands in the ram seal and spat out a glob of oil. Jiraiya went through several hand signs ending on the tiger seal and blew out a giant ball of fire.
"Toad Oil Flame Bomb!"
A ball of flaming oil hit another giant snake causing it to disappear. Soon Jiraiya noticed a giant snake coming from behind
"Bunta jump!"
"Aye!" the toad jumped as the snake charged under him
The giant toad grabbed his sword and calculated where the snake would crawl to and threw the sword stabbing it through the head causing it to disappear as he landed.
"Whew, thank Gamabunta."
"Humph, we'll be having a drink next time you summon me"
"Of course, old friend." he said with a smile.
He leapt off the toads head and he disappeared back to Mount Myoboku.
Xxx
Back with Gaara:
"Suna no shokei hito! (Sand Executioner)"
He stood ready to swing his halberd at Madara who jumped back drawing a volley of 6 kunai and went through one handed seals landing on a flat hand with all fingers extended. He threw the shuriken and blew out the fire chakra coating the throwing stars.
"Fire style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
Gaara had a shield of sand to block the incoming attack, but the shield also caused him to lose sight of his opponent. When the shield came down Madara was gone.
As of now, Obito will be Madara until I can find a way to reveal him creatively.
Soon, Gaara felt his automatic defense activate and he twirled the halberd vertically and slashed through an intangible Madara. Gaara grunted in annoyance as he jumped away from Obito who smirked as he faded from sight.
"An illusion?"
"Fire style: Great Annihilation!"
A giant wide gust of fire was sent at Gaara, who raised his hand and made a wave of sand.
"Oh no you don't! Wind Scythe Jutsu!"
Temari swung her fan as a descent gust of air combined with the sand to cancel out the blast of fire. Gaara used the cover and created a sand clone as he sank into the ground. He did something akin to what Kankuro does with his puppet. Madara stood watching them as his sharingan eye watched Gaara he grimaced. He body flickered behind Gaara and punched into his clone but he realized too late and his arm was crushed by the sand.
"Grrrgh! It seems I underestimated you! Brat!" He activated his sharingan and tried to capture Gaara but he turned to sand
"What?!" He yelled as his shinobi instincts kicked in
He jumped away from Gaara as he smirked.
With Naruto and Sasuke:
Sasuke and Naruto were attacking the man in tandem, not giving him a chance to attack. Naruto created 500 clones and they were using them as human bait to attack the Fuma clan member, while Sasuke attacked using multiple jutsu's. Naruto watches in interest as he realizes Sosetsu is mainly dodging and performing counter jutsu's. Naruto senses his chakra levels raise and yells out
"Sasuke! Jump back!"
The man's hand shot forward, stabbing towards Sasuke's face as a blade of pure flames stabbed out from his hands. Sasuke was surprised but he replaced himself with a log. Sasuke stood a few feet away as he watch Sosetsu go through hand signs and dodge Naruto's clones
"Fire style: Massive Incineration!"
His body emitted a large amount of flames and expanded across the area burning the clones away in an explosive wave of fire chakra. Naruto jumped back onto the ground and put his two fingers against his head. He began to charge up the light of death in his fingertips. He had the remainder of his clones attack Sosetsu and he prepared his attack. Naruto smirked as he took his hands down from his forehead and created a Rasengan and mixed it with the lightning chakra. As it began to destabilize, one of his clones landed next to him to restabilize it.
Sasuke smirked as he channeled his chidori and enhanced it with fire creating his plasma chidori. They eyed Sosetsu and Sasuke threw a kunai at his opponent and Sosetsu dodged and Naruto leapt towards him with his Lightning Rasengan in hand. The Fuma clans man dodged grabbing the blond's hand. He smirked before the Naruto clone with the Rasengan in its hand disappeared. He whirled around to dodge a plasma cover chidori stabbing towards him. The attack barely hit him but he dodged. He soon found himself looking shocked as he saw Sasuke disappear.
"Wind style: Great breakthrough!"
"Fire style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
A giant flaming dragon's head flew towards him and he had to substitute with a decrepit log. As he watched the attack fizzle out he found himself dodging a hail of shuriken as he leapt high off a branch. He looked in front of himself to block a kick from Sasuke's roundhouse kick. He blocked a punch from the side of Naruto as he threw them both away, sending them flying away from him. Naruto landed on the trunk of a tree and put his hands in the cross seal, creating 5 clones and they leapt towards the akatsuki member. And Sosetsu smirked as he landed on the ground. He ducked a punch and performed a spinning kick into the face of another clone. He elbow struck another clone in the face and Sasuke who landed leapt into action drawing his tanto to slash a Sosetsu, who sidestepped and dodged as he leapt backwards from a clone leaping over Sasuke to drop kick him. He did a cross-armed guard as he was pushed back a decent amount, while his sandals tore through the ground. He went through hand signs
"Fire style: Ignition Palm!"
His hands were coated in fire as he leapt forward. Sasuke and the original Naruto leapt back as the remaining clones went in to distract him as he tore through them and they became spoke. Naruto and Sasuke leapt backwards as Naruto through a hail of shuriken coated in lightning and Sasuke went through hand signs yelling,
"Fire style: Phoenix Sage Flower!"
He blew out several balls of fire to combine the lightning shuriken. Sosetsu sliced through the shuriken but he grimaced in pain as the lightning chakra from the throwing stars. Naruto and Sasuke leapt up and away from the akatsuki member, flipping and landing a decent amount away from him. Naruto put his hands in the cross seal creating a ring of 50 clones around them.
"Sheer numbers eh? You're still nothing to me!"
He body flickered across the ground as he used his flame coated hands to tear through the shadow clones. Naruto began to create a Rasengan in his hand while Sasuke channeled fire chakra into the spiraling sphere as well. They charged towards the akatsuki member and he smirked as he held up his hand to catch the flame coated Rasengan.
"HAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!" they both yelled as the tried to smash the attack through his hand
Sosetsu channeled extra chakra into his right as it began to glow.
"Fire Style: Wave Implosion!"
A force of flames began to push back towards the Rasengan but the spiraling sphere pushed him back as it began to expand and an explosion tore through the battlefield. A large force of light danced across the battlefield destroying the area, forcing Obito, Temari and Gaara to stop their battle and jump away.
"Tch, dammit! What the hell are they doing?" Temari said
Gaara stood ready to battle against Obito as he didn't trust the man. The fiery light burned through the forest until it began to die down, showing a large crater as smoke, burnt debris and dust cleared. Naruto and Sasuke were smashed through trees from teh recoil of the explosion while Sosetsu's hand was bloody and bruised from the Rasengan. Both Naruto and Sasuke had burns covering their hands as they struggled to stand and look up at the akatsuki member. Obito reappeared next to Sosetsu and spoke
"So…you got yours before I got mine. Either way, I'll take them both. We'll harvest the 9 tails and take the boys' Rinnegan. He clearly can't use it yet anyways hahaha" he said as he began to walk towards them.
Suddenly two blurs landed in front of them, Gaara and Temari.
"Oh, you two again huh? Well I figured you would do this but-"
Suddenly a shadow was attached to Madara and Sosetsu. Madara used his kamui and stepped through the shadows and soon Hinata leapt of the trees and she smashed her hand into Sosetsu's chest and doing so he coughed up blood as he was sent flying into the nearby forest. She leapt towards Obito and leapt through him with a palm strike. She twisted around with her Byakugan activated and threw several shuriken at him, but the blades went through Obito.
"More flies I see. And it looks like you've caught Sosetsu off guard as well"
A set of footsteps marched through the bushes as the other black cloaked man balled up his fists.
"You damned brats!" Sosetsu had his sharingan still activated as he looked over and saw the young Nara in the bushes. He drew a kunai and body flickered towards him, but he was stoped by another.
"YOU!" Sosetsu sneered
"Yes, me!" Fugaku said as he blocked the kunai of the man with his own.
"Lord Fugaku?" Naruto squeaked
Fugaku kicked Sosetsu away and stood in front of the place Shikamaru was with his kunai drawn.
"Stand strong in battle Namikaze. Your comrades are counting on you. I'll take care of the other one and come back to aid you soon enough!"
Then he looked at Madara.
"Your invasion has failed! The great ape has been brought down by the combined forces of the Hidden Leaf and Hidden Stone! The Sand ninja are falling back as we speak. They found out that they were fooled by Orochimaru. The hidden Sound ninja are being killed and detained or escaping as we speak!"
Madara narrowed his visible eye as he grew annoyed. One of his arms was destroyed, even though he had a lot of reserves. He grew upset at the fact that these leaf ninja were popping up at the most crucial moments of his plan. Shikamaru began to move as he shifted around to make his way towards Naruto and Sasuke.
"Sosetsu! Kill the flies! Now!" he said as his eye turned into his mangekyo sharingan
Sosetsu's eyes transformed into Mangekyo as did Fugaku's. Sosetsu's 3 tomoe turned into 3 small and big tomoe in between one another. Sosetsu's left eye used his genjutsu and Fugaku responded in time.
"Hoshiyomi!"
"Tsukuyomi!"
A man made of shadows and a man made of light clashed in the spiritual world. As their genjutsu's cancelled one another out, they charged at each other clashing kunai. They both jumped backwards as they begin to run through the forest away from Obito and the group. Sosetsu through several shuriken at him and he proceeded to dodge. Fugaku responded and went through hand signs as he leapt through the trees as he kept up with Sosetsu and continued to dodge the shuriken thrown at him.
"Fire style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
He blew several small fire balls towards Sosetsu who dodged with ease. But as he dodged, he realized he had to dodged a hail of shurikens from behind as he had to jump upwards.
"A shadow clone huh? You planned to lead me here" Sosetsu said
The clone threw shuriken at the Fuma clan member as he fell from the branch and he used his drawn kunai to block the shuriken as he avoid several others. As he flipped and landed on a branch he noticed several threads connected to the shurikens he had thrown. He was surrounded by several shuriken with the threads connected and Fugaku and his clone went through hand seals.
"Fire style: Scalding Embrace!"
The threads were set on fire, and he pulled the flaming threads to bind him. Sosetsu grimaced as his right sharingan began to spin as his a white astral flame incoded his body.
"Amatsu Mikaboshi! (Dread Star of Heaven)"
His stark white flames were blocking the strings as he was guarded by them. Fugaku stood in surprise as he and his clone jumped back as the forest of flaming stream began to fall apart around Sosetsu.
"Humph, if the flames don't kill him the forest falling upon him will" he said to himself.
Fugaku and his clone stood at the ready, but he dodged at the last minute as a giant pure white shuriken made of flames tore through his clone.
"Che, This is getting interesting" he said as he smirked on guard.
With Obito:
He had been in a stand off with Gaara, Hinata and Temari.
"You brats are getting on my nerves! I will get one of these jinchuriki!"
Naruto who was still getting up had a deep grimace on his face. His right arm was in immense pain as he tried to move it a bit. He began to channel the nine tails chakra in his right arm as it began to heal. Sasuke was out cold as the impact had burned his left arm and he was down bad in pain.
"D-dammit! This is…bad…urgh!"
He struggled to his feet and noticed Shikamaru was making his way towards him subtly. He focused on Madara as he channeled Kurama's chakra and converted it into ki. As Shikamaru came out of the bushes he looked at Naruto, then Sasuke.
"Hey, Shika. I need you to get Sasuke outta here. Things are about to get wild…urgh!" he said as he held his right arm.
Obito smirked at this stance at these children. They thought they could beat him, it was a cute gesture.
"You foolish children. You all pale in comparison to me." he said as his eye narrowed
Naruto felt his ki begin to rise as Kurama's chakra healed him. His eyes began to change into slits as his irises stayed blue. A red aura began to glow from him while the ground cracked. He smirked as his power burst from him and everyone looked back at him. Naruto stood as his body began to feel warm, as an aura of power danced around him.
"All of you get back! I'll handle this guy!" Naruto said
"But…Naru-"
"Hinata, you, Gaara and Temari need to get back. Shikamaru, get Sasuke to safety."
Naruto began to walk forward through his allies until he stood in front of them. Hinata was a tad bit annoyed at the fact that Naruto had no faith in her or their allies. Temari leapt back as well as she didn't want to get caught in the crossfire. Gaara stood his ground as he spoke,
"You are not alone in this battle. His life threatens my own existence as well as yours" Gaara said as his sand surrounded him.
His arms were folded as he didn't take his eyes off Madara. Naruto looked at Madara and said nothing as his red aura whirled around him like a hurricane. Naruto disappeared as he swung a fist a Obito as he went through the man, but he spun around and kicked at Naruto, but said genin ducked and performed a leg sweep, causing Obito to jump. Naruto jumped back as a blast of sand was shot out towards him. He substituted as he had no time to reactivate his Kamui in time. Naruto put his hand on the ground and sent out a pulse of chakra to find Obito.
"Gaara, behind you!"
Gaara created several spikes of sand from his body armor causing Obito to move through him as to not get damaged. He jumped back going through hand signs and slammed his hands on the ground.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

At the hospital:
Wukong was fighting Juri and Vega easily. He blocked the clawing arm from Vega, he gripped his arm and pulled him in to knee him in his stomach. A purple flash with black lightning flashed in his peripheral and he blocked a kick from Juri. Next a blue blurr ran towards him, and he grabbed Juri slamming her into the blue blurr.
"Arghh! Dammit Rog!"
Balrogs head was impacted with Juri's head as he was knocked out again. Wukong swung Juri into an incoming Vega as he slammed her body into his and let her go, sending them flying away from the hospital.
"You all really need to learn when to give up"
Suddenly, he heard an explosion behind him but he didn't look with his eyes. He took a deep breath and felt for Sozu's ki signature. Suddenly he felt an ominous ki land in front of him. Vega was wearily walking from the wreckage with a beaten down Juri struggling to stand
"L-Lord Bison!"
Wukong looked at the purple aura dancing around his opponent as he floated to touch the ground and he smiled.
"Oh, so you're the boss eh?" he said looking at the pupiless man
"That's right Son Wukong and today you'll die here" he said
Wukong's blue aura flared around him.
"Hopefully you're stronger than these two" he said as he got into his Turtle Hermit Stance
With Sozu:
He was jumping around, dodging multiple attacks as he blocked some of the punches from Ed, but he received burns on his arms from his opponent.
'Tsk, this guy is no joke, how am I gonna- wait where'd he-'
Soon, he felt a tendril of energy wrapped around his ankle and he was flung into the ground smashing into the ground and he coughed up blood
"Urgh! Fuck!"
He was then dragged across the ground towards Ed, and said man yelled
"Oh C'mon! You can't be done yet!" and he punched Sozu in his face with a heavy left hook, causing him to break out of the tendril of energy from sheer force.
Sozu's Sekigan deactivated and he spat out blood as he rolled across the hospital walking grounds. He struggled to stand and he fell back on his butt huffing and trying not to hold his nose.
"C-crap, I'm still, this…weak…" he said as he fell out from the pain and shock
'Father….I'm sorry' he said as he faded from consciousness
Ed shook his head in disappointment as he began to walk towards Sozu ready to deal the killing blow.
"Too bad. And it was just getting interesting"
Soon Ed had to dodge a blur of blue and orange, and a blur of red and black. He rolled back to see Gohan and Kurotsuchi.
"Gohan, take him over near the lady healing lord 3rd. You got your chance to fight someone strong. I'm full of energy and my blood is boiling for a good battle"
Gohan nodded as he picked up Sozu with an arm over the shoulder and he said
"Be careful"
Then he disappeared.
Kurotsuchi's white aura burst from his body
"Hopefully you're a bit interesting than he was" Ed said

A dense growth of trees grew from the crater and they sprouted further to try and pierce through Naruto and Gaara, who had to jump away from the battle grounds on the opposite ends of the field. The battle ground looked like there was never a clash as wood and trees were redecorating the battlefield again.
"Tch, this bastard!" Naruto yelled
Abruptly, they heard another explosion in forest from afar. Naruto had found Obito as he sent a pulse of chakra to the ground. He body flickered through the forest as he created 10 shadow clones to go through the forest to find him. Madara was looking through the field as he saw Naruto coming towards him. He dodged an incoming fist as he chopped the back of his neck, then he puffed out of existence.
"Of course. A clone." He drawled in annoyance
He began to leap through the forest as he kicked another clone in the face causing it to disappear.
"Wind Style: Gale Force Palm!"
Madara performed a substitution to not get hit with the Gale Force. He turned around to catch a punch from another clone and he through it towards another tree. He landed on the ground and sank into it. Gaara clapped his hands together and placed them on the ground as he sifted through the sand to find the rogue Uchiha. He smirked as Madara rose out of the ground behind him and he stood atop the ground as he put his hands in the ram seal. Several explosions irrupted throughout the battlefield as he heard the forest rumble.
As he jumped out of the forest, Naruto's blue jacket was singed as he stood with burnt holes in his black pants. He was holding onto his headband as he gripped it annoyed. He tied the headband around his forehead and he focused.
"You think, that'll stop me? No way in hell!"
Naruto grimaced as he looked around for his opponent. He jumped over to where he felt Gaara's presence and he saw the Sand Jinchuriki begin punching through several trees. Naruto went into the forest and caught his sand counterpart before he could hit another tree. Gaara groaned as he coughed up blood and he stood with an arm over Naruto's shoulder.
"Grrr! He's…been toying with us this whole time…" he rasped out
"Don't worry.…I've got this. I've been holding back myself hehe" Naruto responded
Gaara stood up on his feet as he wheezed a bit. Naruto stood next to him as his aura radiated around him.
"Cover me Gaara!" he said as he body flickered towards Madara.
Said Uchiha folded his arms and his foot touched the ground and he reappeared behind Madar. Then he reappeared in front of him, then beside him and he kept reappearing around him as if he was going to hit him but never doing so. Madara was annoyed by this and he swung at Naruto who tried to catch his fist at the last moment only for Madara to phase through him again.
Naruto smirked as he realized how his opponent thought that he would fall for his feint. Madara was annoyed and so he body flickered away, and Naruto smirked creating 20 shadow clones sending them after the Sharingan user. Naruto began to create his Rasengan and added lightning to it. Madara who was dodging through and knocking out the clones one by one smirked behind his mask. He had to jump backwards as a tendril of sand struck out toward him as he dodged the attack. He sank into the ground annoyed at the clones. Gaara put his back to a tree to make sure his opponent couldn't get the drop on him. If anything he stood on a tree above the clones going through hand signs.
"Fire style: Grand Fire Ball Jutsu!"
He blew out a giant fireball as it tore through the clones toward Naruto. He leapt forward smashing the Lightning Rasengan through the fireball. As he charged through he saw Obito who grabbed his arm and clotheslined him knocking him to the ground, only for him to puff into smoke.
"What?"
Naruto burst out of the ground as his fist smashed into the bottom of his mask, sending him flying up high. He smiled as he felt the mask crack from his fist. He spun and kicked him in the chest but Madara was intangible again. Naruto jumped back on his good leg doing a backflip as he landed in a crouch.
"Hah, got ya!" He said
The masked man held his face in anger.
Xxx
With Fugaku:
He was dodging bursts of fire balls from Sosetsu who seemed only to be playing with him. Fugaku activated his Mangekyo as he tried to perceive Sosetsu's fireballs. He had to dodge more attacks as his opponent pursued him. Fugaku went through hand signs and blew out a giant fireball back at his opponent. He channeled his white flames around his body to guard against his opponents attack. Fugaku landed breathing heavily but he was still standing.
"You're doing well, Uchiha" Sosetsu said
"Che, likewise. It seems like you're finally taking me seriously"
"Oh, my dear distant relative, I've always taken you seriously!...YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE CLAN HAVE BEEN TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY ME AND THE REMAINDER OF MY FAMILY!"
"So you believe that battling me and killing half of my clan will make you feel better? You believe blood should beget blood? What makes you better than the Uchiha?" He asked
"Che, you all faltered and abandoned us for the leaf! Bastard! You went against Madara and let him die!"
"He was a traitor! He only cared for himself and chose to destroy what we worked create! And now you come to be as traitorous as him and kill your clansmen!"
Fugaku drew a scroll and opened it popping out a demon wind shuriken.
"Fool! All they do is keep you all at armslength in this village! There is nothing you can tell me to change my mind. That's why we had your 4th Hokage killed by the beast hahaha!"
"That was you?"
"Oh no, my partner came up with the ideas but I sanctioned it hahaha!"
Fugaku's teeth clenched as he drew another kunai and stood his ground. Sosetsu smirked as he continued to speak.
"So, you're angry! From what I hear you and those root ninja we killed had been looking for us hahaha!"
Sosetsu channeled his chakra and a white ribcage wrapped around him as chakra spiked, getting the attention of everyone in the forest.
"Che, a Susano'o eh? Looks like I have my work cut out for me!" He said as he wondered what he could do against the ultimate defense of the Uchiha.
He had to dodge as an ethereal arm reached out to punch him. He began to go through a series of ideas in his head as he threw down several smoke bombs. His body flickered away to find a place to hide as he slapped multiple paper bomb tags along the trees. He knew he would need to hit the Susano'o with something very heavy. As he landed in a set of bushes he went through his ninjutsu arsenal.
Sosetsu smirked as he saw his opponent was hiding. He channeled chakra into his Susano'o construct and the ribcage grew into a spectral skeletal warrior. Muscles and flesh began to grow around the beast and the creature's eyes began to glow with a deep violet color.
"Oh, so you think you can hide, do you?"
The spectral figure raised his hand and created a barrier and it released 20 spheres of dark chakra. Fugaku's eyes widened as he went through multiple hand seals and stood gathering fire chakra around his index and middle fingers.
'This bastard! If I don't end him now, then this could be trouble. But, if I fail Sasuke and his teammates may end up dead as well' he thought
"Uchiha Secret Art: Heavenly Piercing Arrow!"
The fire around his fingers turned into an arrow along the outside of his arm. He pushed all of his chakra into it making his aura stronger and then he made the arrow larger, even bigger than his arm and shoulder and it began to glow.
"Oho! This should be good. Let's who's attack is stronger"
Fugaku jumped to the side but he couldn't completely escape Sosetsu's range.
He shot the arrow towards the Fuma clan member. Sosetsu smirked as fired his attack back at the Uchiha clan head.
"Star Release: Meteor Shower blitz!"
He shot all 20 of the spheres of black fire chakra at Fugaku. The Arrow tore through several of the flaming projectiles, but several of them pierced through Fugaku's body. He got a blast through his right pectoral, his right shoulder, his left leg, part of his stomach and his solar plexus. He spat blood as he watched the arrow fly towards his opponent, and pierce through his opponents Susano'o armor revealing a surprise Sosetsu. His eyes began to lose their light, and he died with a victorious smirk on his face and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The Fuma clansman couldn't celebrate his defeat of his opponent as he didn't expect the last ditch effort to actually work. He dodged so it would hit his heart, but as he did, his left arm was torn off with the flame and he received a cut across his side from the flaming tip of the arrow. As it flew past him it continued to fly far away, it eventually exploded, causing a large crater to form from the fiery explosion.
"Urgh! What the hell? He had something like that this whole time?!" he said as his Susano'o began to fade and he dropped to his knee and channeled fire chakra into his palm to sear his bleeding wounds shut.
'Well, at least he's out of the way now' he thought.
Xxx
Wukong channeled yellow aura around his body and he attacked the irisless warrior. They were battling at a lightning speed pace as Bison tried to roundhouse kick him. Wukong leaned back and used his staff to extend into his solar plexus as he pushed him off of his feet. Bison grit his teeth as he bit down and clenched his teeth. Wukong appeared in front of him and uppercut the Sound Ninja warrior. He flung his body around and pointed his hand towards Wukong.
"Blast!" he yelled as he shot a purple ball of ki towards his opponent
Wukong smirked and held his right hand out.
"HAAAAAAAGHHH!"
He shot a blue ki blast towards the purple orb. The blasts collided and caused a large clash causing a white explosion. Wukong and Bison disappeared after the clash and reappeared launching towards one another. The red clad sound ninja swung a fist covered in purple ki towards Wukong, who sidestepped, turning it into a spin and punched his fist into his palm and his elbow smashed into Bison's side.
"Uraaaaagh!"
He yelled out and began to send across the ground through a wall surrounding the hospital.
With Kurotsuchi:
She leapt in with a yellow aura surrounding her body to kick towards Ed, who dodged and spun around Kurotsuchi and he swung a fist towards his opponent. Kurotsuchi dodged and sent a palm strike into his chest. He leaned back to take less of an impact from the attack as he was forced to take a step back. Kurotsuchi went through hand signs ending in the tiger seal
"Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!"
Ed surrounded his body in purple ki as he put his arms in a cross blocking formation. As the fire cleared, he looked to see his opponent was gone.
He looked around him, only to notice a shadow enlarging above him. He looked up and dodged an axe kick as he swung his left arm in a faint and stomped towards Kurotsuchi as she jumped back.
"Running away already huh?"
"Not a chance!"
Ed held out his hand and a tendril of purple ki reached towards the girl. She smirked as the tendril of ki grabbed her and the body shimmered.
"Afterimage!" Ed whispered
He looked left as he felt a swift movement and ducked as he spun away from his opponent. Ed gathered a purple blast of ki in his hand. He clenched his fist in anger as he punched forward and sent a blast of purple ki towards the girl. She jumped out of the way forming a blue ki blast in her right hand and cupped his hands behind him.
"KameHame!"
She pointed her hands towards the opponent
"HAAAAAAAAHHH!"
A large blue beam of energy was sent towards the young man as he dodged in a roll only for her to use her hands and maneuver the blast towards Ed who jumped out of the way as the blast hit the ground and it exploded.
"Tsk! You brat!"
The smoke from the explosion covered his view of his opponent and his eyes narrowed. Ed landed as he jumped back and created a large ki blast between his hands.
"Psycho Cannon!" He yelled sending the large blast towards Kurotsuchi
She jumped out of the way as he used his hand to use the blast to follow her.
"Heh! You're not the only one who can make an attack follow their opponents!" He said with an irritated gaze
She drew several shuriken gathering fire chakra around them and threw the throwing stars at his opponent.
"Tsk! I'll kill you!" He yelled as the man jumped out of the way as the blast was sent smashing into the wall of the hospital and exploding
"Fat chance!" She said as she drew several kunai and shuriken and threw them at her opponent.
Ed jumped back and made a chopping motion with his hand and swiped the attack at the incoming blades
"Psycho cutter!" He yelled as he sliced through them all
He looked at the girl as he held his blade-like hand towards his opponent. His energy dispersed as he got into his boxing stance.
"Looks like I'll have to end this!" He said with annoyance in his voice
"Whatever! Shut up and fight!"
Kurotsuchi went through hand signs and ended on the tiger seal.
"Firestyle: Magma Bullets!"
She yelled out, blowing out several bullets of magma at her opponent, who was forced to dodge.
Ed jumped out of the way of the Magma bullets and he made his way towards Kurotsuchi. He swung a punch at her as she dodged easily and continued as several punches followed as he attempted to hit her. She kneed her opponent into the stomach causing him to spit saliva. He smirked and gripped onto her leg and leaned back as he began to swing her in a circle and sent her flying into the hospital wall. There was a loud boom as he smirked in evil glee.
"Hahahahaha! How bout that ya brat!"
As he walked forward in satisfaction he began to grimace as he saw her body crumpled into dirt. He turned around as he looked behind him fast. Next he looked around the building, then he saw a hand grab his leg and he was dragged into the ground
"Crap!" He yelled
His body was buried up to the neck.
"Son of a-"
He felt a foot smash into his face and he spat out blood
Suddenly he glared as purple aura around his body and the ground cracked. The pressure from his aura pushed the young saiyan away causing her to flip into a battle position. His body began to levitate as his blue eyes turned purple. Suddenly, he heard a whistle that sounded throughout the village.
"Tsk! You got lucky you little bitch!" He yelled as he began to fly away
Kurotsuchi grimaced as she looked at Akari healing Sozu
"Whatever, you're just lucky I can't chase you fucker!"
With Wukong:
He had just jumped back from clashing with Bison as they heard a loud whistle.
"Humph, looks like we'll have to continue this another time" he said as he disappeared
Wukong sighed as he kept up his guard.
"Well, that wasn't the way I would've ended it" he said as he looked around doing damage control
The other opponents he had defeated were gone as well as he sighed and looked around for more enemies. He looked about as his eyes landed on Akari healing Sozu and Hiruzen breath steadily.

Suddenly, the hairs on his neck began to raise and a tri-pronged kunai passed the side of his face. He jumped as he looked down and saw Kenji appear.
'Dammit! The son of the yellow flash is here too?'
Kenji threw another Kunai towards Sosetsu who countered it and threw another kunai to counter it. He grimaced when he saw Kenji disappear. He spun around and blocked with his one good arm and he received a stab through his forearm from Kenji. Soon Kenji kicked him in the stomach, sending him rocketing through several branches until he smashed into the ground.
With Madara:
He had began to dodge a flurry of sand tendrils and fazed through several shadow clones. Then he saw the giant explosion from over where his partner was.
"Tch, so it seems like my partner is having trouble." He said
Naruto and Gaara were breathing heavily as they looked at the akatsuki member.
"You're running away huh?" Naruto said with a tired smirk
Madara began to chuckle
"Hahahahahahahaha! You brats can't stand against me much longer. No, this is your Godsend, be happy at your luck" he said as his sharingan began to activate and he began to swirl into a portal, disappearing from sight
As he reappeared in front of Sosetsu he realized the state of the battle. He picked up his akatsuki member and leapt away from Kenji. He grimaced as his sharingan eye began to activate and his body disappeared into his personal dimension and looked over at Kenji, then he looked at the dead body of Fugaku.
"I take it that Fugaku gave him hell before he died. And you were going to finish him if I didn't show up"
Kenji's eyes narrowed as he spoke.
"You. You must be the rogue Uchiha that controlled the 9 tailed fox!"
"And how did you come to that conclusion? My partner had a sharingan as well you know"
The older blonde gripped his Hiraishin kunai tightly and spoke
"Either way, you're both rogue Uchiha's and you killed the clan head in cold blood! You won't get away with this!" he said
Madara began to laugh and shake as he chuckled, holding his hands out waist length from hsi body.
"Just like your foolish father. He said the same thing before he released the fox from my control!"
Kenji had enough and dropped one of his kunai while throwing another one at Madara.
The masked ninja allowed the kunai to pass through his head, which shocked his opponent.
"Wh-what the hell?"
"Hear me clearly Kenji Namikaze. I will be back for the 9 tails. Your death will also be necessary so you don't interfere in my plans any further." he said as he began to swirl into a universe of his own
Kenji felt Naruto land next to him as the rogue Uchiha disappeared into a portal.
Naruto looked up at his brother in worry, but Kenji ruffled his hair and looked down to smile at him.
"You did well kiddo" he said causing Naruto to smile
"Thanks hehe. Hey, have you seen Lord Fugaku?"
Kenji's face paled in sadness as he turned and walked away towards a specific direction. Naruto followed him and they walked out of the way for a bit to see a figure laying on the ground. Naruto wondered who it was until he began to notice a lot of blood pooling around the body. They made it to see Fugaku Uchiha, dead with a smile on his face.
"Wh-what the hell is this? Who did this?" Naruto asked in a quiet voice
Kenji put a hand on his shoulder
"This was the work of that over akatsuki member. His name is Sosetsu Fuma. Lord Fugaku did all he could to combat the Rogue Uchiha members that threatened to capture you and the one tails, along with everyone that threatened the village" he said sadly
Naruto balled up his fists and cried as he looked away and shed tears. He wanted to be stronger than this. He thought he was strong enough with the power he gained so far. This showed him that he had a lot of areas to grow in if he wanted to protect everyone. He shed tears even harder realizing that his friend and comrades' father died to keep him safe. He dropped to his knees feeling shame at his lack of powerlessness. He punched the ground once, then twice, then 3 times as he shed more tears. He stopped as he stood back up and wiped his face off.
"I have to do better. I will never allow a comrade to die because of me again"
Kenji looked at him sadly.
"A lot of people died in the village today. They chose to defend their home from these monsters. Just don't let their sacrifice be in vain" he said as he pulled out a storage scroll and sealed Fugaku into it.
"Gather your teammates. I'll flash us back to the village" Kenji said
They teleported back to the village to see destruction and half built houses. Several parts of the village had smoke coming out of the ruins as flames were being put out. There were medical ninjas treating the injured in several groups of tents placed specifically around the village. Naruto looked down at his hands then up at Kenji who had a hardened look on his face as he looked around the village.
Later that night inn the Uchiha clan:
Itachi and the rest of the Uchiha had been gathering the wounded and the dead with the help of several medic nin. He had woken up and been told what happened to his father. He grit his teeth as he had just sat down one of the dead Uchiha in a medical tent. His mother was handling matters of security with Vegeta who was now the head of police per his fathers orders. He could live with that, it was honestly a weight off of his shoulders. He had been gathering corpse and recording the death count to some of the medical nin. As he was walking through the clan district he saw his brother running towards the training field and realized he couldn't be scatterbrained and that he had to be strong for him. He ran after him to see if he was alright.
Sasuke was making his way through the forest foliage, landing in the training field. He had a sneer on his face as his chakra became dense and he let out a choked wince!
"Rgh! GODDAMMIT!" He yelled as he lunged a smashed his fist through a training dummy
He stood huffing as he knew it wasn't enough. The anger, the pain, the sorrow, it began to swell in his chest and soon his eyes began to sting. He put his hand up to his eyes and grunted in pain.
"What the…hell?"
He opened his eyes and they turned into a six point star pattern. His rinnegan reactivated with a star in each ring in a circular pattern and he cried blood tears. He put a hand on his face and noticed the blood. He walked over to the river and looked at his reflection. He wanted to feel good about what he achieved but he didn't give a fuck. He wanted to celebrate this moment with his father. He supposed he shouldn't feel guilty as he had half of his clan left. There used to be at least a bit over a hundred Uchiha and now there are just above 50. At least he still had a family, so he couldn't complain. One thing he knew was that he had to get stronger. He thought of his battle against the akatsuki members and tightened his fists till his knuckles turned white. He remembered Naruto telling him that the masked man was the one that summoned the 9 tails to attack the village, causing his father and in turn the clan to go through multiple search missions to find him. The clan had almost been scrutinized until the village elder Danzo stepped in to propose to work with them to find the rogue Uchiha. And when they finally found him, they realized that there were multiple rogue Uchihas. He remembered hearing from Kenji that the man his father fought had the Mangekyo Sharingan, now he had it.
'I'll kill him! I'LL KILL THEM ALL!' He screamed inside of his mind as he kept a stoic visage on the outside.
Soon he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked back to see his brother. His rage that was brimming for release subsided as he realized he must've been emitting too much killing intent.
"Sasuke, calm down. You'll do something stupid if you get lost in your rage. Also you're burning chakra by having your Mangekyo sharingan activated" Itachi said
He deactivated his dojutsu as he sighed
"I…suppose the war and the lost of our father has gotten to me" he said as his eyes looked towards the sky then back at his brother.
"I want to kill them" he said with a hardened face
"Vengeance only begets sorrow my foolish little brother. What will you have once you get your revenge?"
Sasuke looked at the ground as he pondered his brothers words
"You have gone through a lot today. And your struggles will become even worse as you see the darkness of the ninja world. If you fight for revenge, you will look for another place to put that hatred. But, if you fight to protect, you will value those around you more and strive for a better tomorrow"
Sasuke's fists tightened as he looked at his brother with rage across his face. He turned around and walked back towards the river and he took a deep breath. Itachi's gaze turned away as he began to walk back to the compound.
"Think about my words, Sasuke" he said as he walked away
Sasuke had a grimace on his face and he felt his rage boiling the blood in his veins. He felt Itachi leave the field as he battled with himself.
'I…I WANT TO KILL THEM! KILL THEM SO BAD!'
He tensed and took a deep breath as he remembered the man from his dream or subconscious who gave him the Rinnegan. He realized that this would only be the beginning of the deaths he saw. Some people would be close to him and some wouldn't, but he knew he had to protect those he has now, instead of continuing to lament on those who died. He looked at his reflection and his face went from rage to stoic. A ghost of a smile appeared on his face as he thought of Itachi's words, then he sighed.
'I will protect…but…I WILL KILL THOSE WHO TRY TO TAKE AWAY WHOM I PROTECT' he thought as his eyes hardened

Gohan and Kurotsuchi arrived in the nick of time to save Sozu from being killed by Ed. Wukong had fought off Juri and Vega but he didn't chase after them, and Akari was able to prolong the Hokage's life for a few days longer. The Sand had found out Orochimaru was behind the death of their Kazekage. Orochimaru and the sound 4 fought the leaf jonin to a stalemate and they eventually escaped, along with the rest of the sound shinobi. Several sound ninja were taken prisoner but none of the stronger, more crucial members of the sound forces. But there was some good news as Nanashi and his team had made it back to the village. Along their way back they had come across several sound shinobi, and they killed them to find out whatever information that they could, but they didn't find anything valuable except for the fact that they attacked the village, which caused them to make their way back to the village.
"What the hell happened here?" Aoba asked as he and the rest of his team ran through the village to assess the damage
"They did say that they invaded us! But I didn't think it would be this bad!" Shizune said
"Let's make it back to the Hokage to report"
Wukong, Koharu, Homura, Jiraiya and Tsunade were at the bedside of the 3rd Hokage.
"Thank you, Lord Tsuchikage"
Wukong gave the Hokage a sad smile
"You're welcome, Lord Hiruzen. I'm glad I could protect an ally" he said
"Jiraiya, I know who I will name as my successor. Bring me the Jonin commander, Shikaku Nara" he said
Jiraiya nodded and left the room. A few moments later he came in with the Jonin commander.
"I have selected you as my successor. You are the commander of my Jonin and you have the sharpest mind in the village. You will lead our people to a better tomorrow with the 'Will of Fire'."
Shikaku nodded and bowed slightly to his Kage.
"Yessir! I will lead the village proudly."
"Now that you're the new Hokage, allow this old man to sleep while you all go through the arrangements" he said closing his eyes
Nanashi and his team body flickered into the Hokage's office, but to their surprise they were told that Lord 3rd had been injured and was selecting his successor. They had to wait for 10 minutes until Shikaku walked into the room in his Hokage garbs and they immediately bowed.
"Lord 5th Hokage" they all said bowing
"Raise your heads. I take it your journey went well?"
Nanashi nodded as he pulled out his mission report and placed it on the desk.
"Yes, the Land of Spring has agree to ally with us and…"
"And?" Shikaku asked in curiosity
"I was… requested to go back out there again… in a few weeks… by… Princess Koyuki" he said
His teammates began to laugh as he turned red. Shikaku smirked as he got the details without saying a word. It seems like things would go well with the Hokage gig after he thought.
The next day the citizens and shinobi had attended a funeral for all of those who had fallen, be they citizens or shinobi. There was a lot of grief in the village for this day as some vowed for vengeance and others prayed that their loved ones were in a better place. This war was also a new beginning for a new alliance between the Leaf and Hidden Stone. After going to war for so long and being on edge with one another, they stood against the Hidden Sand and Sound villages. And soon the alliance with the Hidden Sand Village would be fixed as they realized that they were tricked by Orochimaru. Hopefully this is the beginning of the uniting of the shinobi world.
3 days later
With Gohan, he had been sitting at a bench in the park with Mina, feeding the birds some of the Onigiri that they were eating together. The date was going well, then he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head as he put his hand over his temple. Soon, he saw something, like a vision. It was hazy at first, then it began to clear up. Abruptly, he began to see his father and Naruto pushing back an attack. It looked to be headed toward the earth, they were both beaten and ragged. Their bodies were bloodied and bruised as they made a stand to protect the earth. He winced as he felt more pain in his head and the attack got brighter and exploded with the two of them holding it back. He felt a sense of despair as he couldn't move. Soon, he felt a hand on his shoulder as he was brought out of his muses and he looked over at Mina in a cold sweat. Her azure blue eyes looked into his cold black eyes with concern as she touched his pale face.
"Are you okay? You clenched your head as if you were in pain, then you got really pale." She said
Gohan's breaths were a bit short, then he took a deep breath as he let out a smooth
"Yes, I'm fine. Just felt a bit light headed." he said with a smile rubbing the back of his head
"Are you sure?" She asked in worry, causing him to look away for a bit
"Hey" he asked as he looked back at her with a determined look in his eyes
"Hmm?" she asked raising an eyebrow
He pulled her close gingerly, causing her to blush. Her face turned red as she nodded in confirmation. Then their Onigiri cover lips began to move closer and closer, until they finally touched. As they pulled back, they both had blushes on their faces. It felt like an electric spark to Mina while she held Gohan's hand gently. Mina had a gentle smile on her face as she leaned her head on his shoulder, rubbing his thumb across her hand.
"I….I really like….being like th-this ... .with you. It's r-really nice" she said blushing deeper
The wind blew a little bit stronger, while the leaves blew past them.
"I'm glad. So do I. It's always nice to be with someone you enjoy your time with"
She turned her face to his and kissed him on the cheek and turned her head to lie back between his shoulder and the crook of his neck.
"I-I wanted to take you to one of my favorite places to eat in the village but…it got destroyed. I had a romantic plan in my head but…"
"It's fine, besides we've got time. And this is officially our first date hehe. At least we got the time to make this happen, between training and rebuilding the village and all" he said
Unknown to them, Sozu had been looking for Mina to talk to her about training. It was his way of feeling close to her as he was working his way up to confess his feelings to her. He landed on a building behind them and saw Gohan with her and balled up his fists and body flickered away. A tear threatened to escape his eye but he blinked it away. He realized that he had no right to feel hurt or betrayed, after all he waited too long and never said anything. Maybe she knew how he felt and was waiting for him, but he had been losing in front of her a lot lately, so she probably felt like he wasn't worth it. He landed onto a rooftop and punched a wall that he landed next to. He was angry, but he had to respect what happened and move on. And so, hardening his heart, he steeled his emotions and went to go and train, to gain the strength to find his father.
