The next day When I returned to the command tent I was given looks of admiration from all of the men while the women gave me looks of wanting. Apparently the tent I was in wasn't quite as sound proof as I had thought. Who am I kidding, it might as well have not been there in the first place.
Today I had sent my reserve clones to the battlefield along with the clones who had survived yesterdays battle. I had them spread out since there was a lot of battles that I could help with.
Naruto and Bee had escaped their confinement during the night and had come to join in the battles. A was furious, but he calmed down when I explained to him that by him continuing to deny them the chance to fight when everyone else was risking dying he was going to cause them to be outcasts to the entire shinobi world. If he continued to do this and we won they would still end up getting killed from all of the people with misplaced anger.
He was still not happy, but he couldn't deny my point.
Naruto did what he did in the series and he even captured Toroi who I then sent a clone to collect. Naruto and Bee also wiped out an entire group of white Zetsu who were transformed into looking like normal ninja while moving towards us. I just laughed since they would've died even without that since the wolves were always hungry.
The wolves were also growing super fast. Even my puppies were now the size of adult wolves from a normal world. The rest of the wolves were all huge and a few even had to use a transformation skill to shrink down so they wouldn't take up so much room.
I started to receive different reports from various clones that had all been released before noon.
One clone group had run into the reincarnated sound four. They fought my clones and were defeated easily, but they tried to use a soul binding technique on the clones. It of course didn't work since the clones don't even have souls and they ended up hitting nothing but air. I burned their bodies and put them in their cans.
Another group ran into Hayate who had somehow got ahold of the KIA scroll from the medics tent. The first two shinobi with him were defeated in less then a minute and I let Hayate run for a bit while blocking his way every once in a while in order to lead him in circles.
I let his old lover defeat him and then sealed him. His lover was surprisingly Yugao. She was one of the amazingly beautiful ninja in the village. The fact that he could get her was beyond mind boggling, but I decided that I would pass on the grieving widow lover act since I knew that I could summon them both in my other dimension. I have a list you see, and these two weirdos were going on it, right there under Dan.
Another group ran into Yota. He was a little kid who could manipulate the weather. He also unfortunately had the ability of mind transfer. He tried to use it to manipulate one of my clones since they kept dodging his attacks and throwing kunai at him.
I took the kids soul by yanking it with his mind into me and told the kid the same deal as Dan. He was a good kid who just wanted friends, so I let him be with Dan while I sealed his body and then summoned a few wolves to help kill the white Zetsu clones. It was all over pretty quickly, the kid had still managed to destroy a pretty good chunk of the forest though.
There was a number of other random reincarnated ninja that kabuto had somehow gotten ahold of that my clones found and sealed or at least assisted in sealing. I began to get a number of clones who returned and would give me the cans they had collected and I had so many I needed to put them in a storage scroll so I would have room.
The waterfront battle was fun. I summoned the wolves again and they had another feast, but since there were 2,000 white Zetsu clones I only summoned some of the wolves to eat.
One of my clone groups actually ran into the two people I had been hoping to meet. Nagato and Itachi who were fighting Bee and Naruto.
It was in the middle of the fight and Itachi still hadn't release himself yet.
I stepped in and caused everyone to stop moving for a moment from a release of bloodlust.
B took a step back and took a defensive stance while sweating a little and Itachi and Nagato did the same.
Naruto stepped back before seeing me and saying. "Alex, is that you?"
I took off my mask and said. "It is actually one of my clones, same with the one next to me. I sent out clones to fight since I'm stuck sitting at the command tent until later."
"So Nagato, I see you have met Naruto here, he's the one I told you about." I turned to Nagato with a smile.
"I have been speaking with him and I can tell you that he is indeed someone who has a good head on his shoulders. He definitely would have been able to convince me before my death. However it is unfortunate that his speaking to me now isn't going to do much for me seeing as I have no control of my body."
"You can still give him advice if you would like, he is after all a student of Jiraya just like you."
"Oh, that is interesting. Very well, I think I will teach him for however long I have before Kabuto takes away my personality and then I need you to defeat me as quickly as possible since I will only grow more powerful over time. Not to mention that I really don't want to be used to bring that guy back from the dead."
Nagato and Naruto began talking and I looked over to Itachi and said off handedly. "Don't do it yet since when you do he will panic and take this chance away."
Itachi just nodded before fighting both one of my clones and B.
I told B to focus on defense since Itachi wasn't an enemy.
He was confused, but he did focus on defense like I had asked and in a few minutes we all stopped as Nagato yelled out. "He's doing it, stop me now."
I then yelled to Itachi. "You can do it now". This caused a crow to appear on the battlefield by flying out from Naruto's eye and flying straight at Itachi. The crows eye flashed and Itachi fell to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut, which is basically what had happened since he had just been released from Kabuto's control.
I used wood jutsu to tie up Nagato and my other clone used mud to make it so he couldn't move. It was quickly draining me however as Nagato was literally sucking the chakra out of me and was seemingly going back in time as his body seemed to becoming even more healthy.
I called out for Itachi to use his sword quickly while I had Nagato before he escaped.
Itachi stood up and summoned his susanoo and had it stab Nagato with it's sword. Nagato regained his personality while the sword was still inside of him and thanked us for stopping him and giving him the chance to speak to Naruto.
"It's alright man." I told him with a smile. "I knew you two would like each other."
"You were right you know. I shouldn't have doubted you back then, perhaps if I was more willing to trust in others and wasn't so focused on the pain of my friends deaths I could have reached the level of understanding peace that Naruto has. Instead I doubted your words and decided to find out the truth on my own and I got killed for it. Hopefully through this war the shinobi world can finally move forward like you said."
"It will." I told him somberly. "I'll tell you about it the next time we meet."
"Yeah, then I'll see you later Alex Senju." Nagato said with a smile as I used the hottest flames I could to destroy his body as fast as possible and collected it into a can.
Man, why are all these great guys being controlled by some asshole for stupid reasons like this. You know what, never mind the storyline and screw trying to get Kaguya as a wife. Time to screw up the ending.
"Hey Itachi." I said with my face covered by my hair as I looked downwards.
"Yeah Alex."
"Go defeat Kabuto as quickly as you can so that those who are not being allowed to rest can get some sleep."
"Okay, but are you alright?" Itachi asked after putting a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm feeling very, very, very angry right now." I then stood up and showed my face to Itachi who stepped backwards and had fear flash across his face for a second.
My eyes were bright red with vertical pupils and my teeth were very sharp. I had a look of anger on my face which caused me to look truly demonic. The chakra leaking out of me wasn't helping anything and when Itachi looked at the other clone and could see the same angry face he made a nod before turning to leave.
"I'll be going then."
"Itachi, hurry." I told him before handing the can to Naruto and releasing the jutsu to allow the clones to return to me.
