Chapter 24: 5 Kage Summit Begins
5 days later / 5 days until the arrival of the Ginyu Force
It was morning and Shikaku Nara walked into his office, sitting down a mug of coffee as his assistant called for his attention as she entered.
"Lord Hokage, I figured you'd want to see this. It's about the 5 Kage summit"
His eyes widened as he took the letter opening it as he saw a stamp of approval from Mifune of the Land of Iron. The woman left as he read on when it would happen.
'Looks like I'll be making the trip sooner than I thought' he mentally said to himself.
"Anbu let Vegeta Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha know that I'll be needing them as my guards to the 5 kage Summit. Also let lord 3rd know I'll need him to take over for me in the next 5 days." he said
"Right away sir!" a masked shinobi said as she body flickered away to do just that
Shikaku paced through his office as he put his hands behind his back muttering to himself. He knew he needed to speak with the Tsuchikage and Kazekage about what was going on and what was to come. He walked about as he next thought about how he would have to keep the village safe while they took care of the akatsuki and the Arcosian Empire. He knew they had some talented shinobi but he also knew the akatsuki had the Hidden Sound Village behind them.
He recently sent a few teams to deal with one of the snake Sannin's bases, and he knew he would have to crack down on them. Speaking of which, he was also worried about what happened near the land of Whirlpools. The world seemed to be on the fine line of another world war but with a terrorist organization, aliens and demons. There was going to be a 3 way deadlock, not to mention they might have to convince the Raikage to join in this united front. He would just have to let things play out with the Summit and plan ahead.
Next, he began to draw up plans for the Arcosian Suppression Team. He knew he would need more people to be a part of this if these beings could potentially destroy the planet on a whim.

"Where is Jinsuke Shimura?" Kakashi asked
"Nowhere around here. Not like you'll need to worry about it after today." Sosetsu said
"Well just have to make you tell us!" Naruto said as he got into his hummingbird fist stance.
Kakashi got into his own fighting stance as they beckoned themselves for the battle. Sosetsu activated his Sharingan and it spun as he looked Naruto in his eye.
"Hoshiyomi!"
Naruto smirked as his eyes became yellow with bar pupils with Orange pigment.
"What the hell?" Was all the akatsuki could say before he dodged a punch from the blond, but even though he dodged he was sent sailing across the backyard.
There was no time for rest as he had to dodge an incoming Kakashi who was coming with a kunai ready to slash him. He dodged and threw punch at Kakashi transitioning into him grabbing the back of the copy ninjas head holding him in place to look him in the eye
"Hoshiyomi!" He said putting Kakashi in a genjutsu of a thousand Suns falling towards him.
To his astonishment he is unfazed and he realizes.
"A shadow clone!" He said as he had to kick the clone away and jump away from Kakashi's clone.
Naruto came upon him and threw a punch with him catching it and sliding a kunai out of his sleeve to stab him. Only the kunai broke as it attempted to pierce the blonde's skin.
"What?"
Soon he had to block a punch from Naruto sending him flying into the wall of his backyard making a spiderweb crack from a human shaped dent.
"Urgh! You-"
He was cut off as he had to pull himself out of the wall and dodged a volley of shuriken from Kakashi. And then he went through hand signs at a high speed as Naruto was approaching.
"Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!" He blew out a giant fireball and Naruto jumped high at the last minute.
Sosetsu moved to the side going through more hand signs ending in the tiger seal again.
"Fire style: Mass Incineration!" He blew out a bigger wave of fire at Kakashi as he panicked from the pressure.
Kakashi substituted with a nearby plant. And then he went underground but Sosetsu was just looking around. Soon he had to jump away as Naruto came flying down towards him smashing into the ground.
"These two are more annoying than I thought!" He said as he went through another bout of taijutsu with the blonde getting kicked away even as he guarded due to the power of the blonde's Senjutsu.

Shikamaru stood with his hands in the rat seal as his shadow sewing jutsu chased Kagero and Kamikiri around. The girl dodged and threw kunai at the shadow wielder but he blocked with another shadow tendril. Choji was waiting with his good right arm to catch the both of them off guard with a heavy punch. Kamikiri was in the middle of blocking the shadows with his scissor blade. He had to jump back as the Akimichi tried to crush him with an expanded fist.
"You fat fuck! Get back!" Kamikiri yelled slashing at Choji who grabbed his scissors with his larger hand and slung the man along with his blade and slammed him into the wall knocking him unconscious then he jumped backwards.
"You got knock out by this fat fuck!" He yelled as he landed next to Shikamaru.
Kagero landed as she was annoyed at this and she decided she would have to run. But as she turned tail to do so she was greeted by Sasuke who put her under a genjutsu knocking her out. He caught her and pulled out chakra binding handcuffs and put them around her wrists.
"You saved me the trouble of actually having to capture her," Shikamaru said with an easy smile.
"This is a bit too easy don't you think?" Sasuke asked
"Yeah. We outclass them all too easily. Somethings up here" Shikamaru said as he stood up.
"What do you think is going on?" Choji asked
Shikamaru looked around as he noticed all the beaten and broken shinobi.
"Sasuke, do you sense any other Fuma clan members around here?" Shikamaru asked
Sasuke used his Rinnegan to look around and he narrowed his eyes.
"No, and that's not the strangest part about it. I'm sure Naruto has noticed if he's in Sage mode but he's not fighting the real Sosetsu either now that I'm close enough to the chakra. If anything it's-"
Sasuke paused as he used his Rinnegan.
"Jinsuke Shimura! They're fighting him!"
"What? But that's not possible." Choji said
"I see. Knowing that I can only assume that this is happening to distract us. In that case you go and help them capture Jinsuke and we'll get everyone else up to speed on what's going on." Shikamaru said.

Asuma was carrying the young lady he and Ino knocked out in chakra suppression cuffs.
"What the hell is going on here? Why were they so easy to knock out?" Ino asked
"Yea, this is almost too easy"
Soon they heard a loud *BOOM*.
"That must be where Kakashi and Naruto are! C'mon let's hurry up" Asuma said.
"Right!"

Naruto looked at Sosetsu with a confused expression. He was wondering why Sosetsu's chakra signature felt different than the last time they fought.
"What is it Naruto? Why are you just standing there?" Kakashi asked
"That's not Sosetsu. Even when I'm not in sage mode I can recognize a life force from far away and he's not him."
"What? Then who could he be?"
Sosetsu got a nasty sneer on his face as he spoke.
"So your sage mode helped you figure it out huh? Well alright then. I guess it's time I wrap this up"
He jumped back, landing far away from them. Then he bit his thumb, drawing blood and went through hand signs and drew the seal on the ground.
"What the hell?!" Naruto asked.
His body gained orange, red and golden cracks and his aura exploded pushing Naruto and Kakashi back.
"Oh no! I recognized one of those seals!" Naruto said
"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked
"Jiraiya Sensei told me about forbidden seals that deal with kinjutsu. Whatever that technique is, is gonna blow us sky high!" Naruto said with alarm in his voice.
"I'll handle it!" Kakashi said as he put his hands in the reverse ram seal in front of his left eye.
Naruto could sense a high amount of chakra going to Kakashi's eye.
Sasuke ran into the clearing as he could feel the pressure that the chakra was putting out.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! YOU WILL ALL BURN ALONG WITH THIS VILLAGE!" Sosetsu yelled as his body began to glow bright orange.
"Tch, Universal Pull!" Sasuke yelled as he lifted Sosetsu off the ground, confusing him.
"Wh-what the hell? NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO! I'M GOING TO GET RID OF ALL OF YOU!" He yelled
Sasuke pushed him into the sky
"What're you doing?" Naruto asked
"All mighty push!"
Kakashi looked up at the sky because he knew what was coming next as soon as the force from Sasuke's attack hit. Sosetsu's body glowed so much burning intensity that his skin peeled off to reveal Jinsuke Shimura.
"What the hell?!" Naruto yelled out in confusion.
His body began to expand and soon a void began to form in front of him sucking his body in as it exploded into a scathing hot combustion of chakra.
"Kamui!" He yelled.
And Sasuke immediately put up Susano'o in front of the building but his avatar couldn't yet grow the bottom half.
'Kurama!'
Naruto clapped his hands together to form a Kurama avatar over the Susano'o as it shields them all. The mansion behind them was semi protected by the Susano'o but it was easily torn apart in the areas that the susano'o didn't reach. Luckily the blast didn't reach the building, only the impact pressure from exploding hit. As the blast was being sucked into the Kamui they saw Kakashi struggling to keep the technique active.
"I can only keep this up for so long. You two have to get everyone and go!" Kakashi said
"NO WAY! WE'RE NOT LEAVING YOU!" Naruto yelled as he placed a hand on Kakashi's shoulder and synchronized his chakra with Kakashi's and he began to transfer chakra into his teacher.
Sasuke held his Susano'o up strong as he watched the explosion continue to expand for a few more moments until it began to shrink. By this time the gate around the castle and buildings around them were damaged due to the pressure from the explosion's impact. Soon it died down and Kakashi dropped to one knee as his jutsu dropped. His body couldn't take the pressure from burning and regaining so much chakra. Naruto was sure to leave him with some in case things get dicey but, Kakashi looked fatigued.
Luckily for them the explosion barely ended sending out one last burst of force before it was gone. Sasuke took down his Susano'o and took a deep breath.
"Well that was kind of a bust. They still knew we were coming even after we waited." Naruto said
"More haaa, than likely haaa, they expected us" Kakashi barely got out as he continued to catch his breath from the amount of exertion he put out with the Kamui.
Soon they heard footsteps coming from behind them and it was Asuma with one of the Fuma clan members tied up along with Ino. Soon Shikamaru came out with another prisoner and Choji and Hinata followed.
"I take it the one who caused the explosion was Jinsuke?" Shikamaru asked
"Yea, how'd you guess?" Naruto asked
"Wasn't hard to tell with this mission being two easy."
"Yea, and I'd say we better high tail it outta here with the prisoners and cut our losses" Asuma said
"He's right. Also Kakashi's spent, so we'll need to get out of here quickly." Sasuke said
"Right. Everyone, use your seals so we can get back to the Inn outside of the village!" Naruto said
As everyone teleported away, Naruto was the last. He was about to activate his seal when he sensed a power level rising underground. He jumped back as a giant tree exploded out of the ground causing dirt and debris to fall all over the place.
"What is going on today?" The blonde thought.
Suddenly the trunk of the tree burst open and a little boy walked out hazily. Naruto got a good look at him. He looked to be between 8-10 years old with black hair, black eyes, tanned skin and most importantly he had 2 whisker marks on each side. His jawline was a bit delicate, like his was when he was that age. The boy was wearing ragged clothes and he was very dirty. He walked forward and caught the boy. He then activated his tag and body flickered away.

Next day back at the village:
Shikaku Nara, Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake who was in a hospital gown and sweatpants stood in the hospital lounge awaiting the test results of the child Naruto found at Orochimaru's lair.
"And you say he tore open the tree after he grew it from underground?" Shikaku said
"Yes. I was able to sense it right after the explosion ended and we all left the scene." Naruto said.
Shikaku ran a hand over his forehead in confusion.
"My guess is that he was trying to take you guys out along with the kid and make sure we didn't get to Jinsuke."
"That's the only explanation I've come to as well." Kakashi said
"That kid. He, looks like me with black hair and brown eyes. He even has whiskers. When did he get my DNA? I have so many questions."
"My next conclusion is that Kabuto must have gotten either yours or Kenji's DNA and he had it sent there. After all, his messages were all addressed there in his coded messages. He referred to him as 'project Menma' from what we've discovered from the information we got from the spies and the sound shinobi you brought back as well as the info being exported." Shikaku said as he tried not to grab a cigarette.
"Yea, and they probably abandoned the project when they knew we were coming." Kakashi said
"But why didn't they just move him when they had the chance?" Shikaku asked.
"Because they perfected what they wanted already when they created the Minato copy. And should you really be discussing this out here" Kenji asked as he walked into the lobby.
His arm looked to be healing up nicely as he could move it around again even in bandages.
"This wing of the hospital has been delegated to private. Only those high in rank and priority that revolve around these topics are over here" Shikaku said
"No wonder I only saw a few people around here." Kenji shrugged
"So what are we working with here?"
"We're waiting on mom right now with the DNA test" Naruto said.
Soon Tsunade walked out with the results and a serious look on her face.
"What's it looking like?" Shikaku asked
"He's got the DNA cells of the 9 tails, Naruto and my grandfather inside of him. And he's growing like a regular child. His body is healing itself naturally from chakra exhaustion and muscle deterioration. Whoever created him knew exactly what they were doing with DNA and the creation of artificial life!" Tsunade said with clear irritation and alarm in her voice.
"So, he's me. A younger me." Naruto said as he felt a tightening in his chest.
"What should we do with him?" Kakashi asked
"Isn't it obvious?" Naruto said with determination in his eyes.
"He's one of us. Even if it's not the most ideal way of being born, he's alive and needs someone."
"It's not that easy. What do you think will happen once the villagers and other shinobi notice him?" Kenji asked
"His back story can be created. And he could be treated like a Senju" Tsunade said.
"You know, we should really talk to the kid about all of this." Kenji said
"Yea, let's see what he thinks," Naruto said.
"He's not awake yet but when he does-"
Suddenly they heard a nurse scream in surprise. Naruto used the flying thunder god seal he placed on the kid and grabbed his hand as he had a scalpel in his hand waving it.
"Calm down!" He said as he locked eyes with the boy.
They entered his mindscape as their chakras connected. He found himself in a garden with the man that appeared in front of him.
"Who? Who are you? Where are we?" The boy asked as he started to panic.
Naruto smiled at him and ruffled his hair. He felt the warmth of his chakra and calmed down.
As they exited the mindscape the black haired boy thought.
'Brother?' In confusion as his facial features relaxed.
Back in the hospital room he dropped the scalpel and Naruto caught it, giving it back to the nurse.
"Now be good for the nurse kid." Naruto said as Kenji, Tsunade, Kakashi and Shikaku walked in.
The boy was getting in bed as Naruto went to sit down in a chair across from him. The nurse hesitantly went to give him a shot and the boy grimaced. She looked back at Naruto for reassurance that he would stop the boy from doing anything rash.
"Hey, don't worry. I used to be scared of needles too but they don't really hurt." Naruto said giving him a reassuring smile
"And he's a natural. The kids gonna be a great uncle and father" Kenji said
Soon the boy had gotten his shot and the nurse was gone. He looked at Naruto in confusion.
"Who are you? And why do you look like me?" He asked.
"My name is Naruto Namikaze. And the second part is a long story" he said
"Do you remember where you were born or who your parents are?" Shikaku asked.
"It was, always dark. The only father I had, was Sosetsu. And it was dark." the nameless boy said.
Naruto put a hand on his shoulder for reassurance.
"What's your name?" Naruto asked. The boy looked at his hands and made a thinking face. He thought and thought through his short memory.
"I, don't have one." he said.
Naruto looked at him with a sad smile.
"Do you want one?" Kenji asked him.
The nameless boy looked at him, then back at Naruto
As they continued to talk, Shikaku and Kakashi went outside the room with Tsunade and walked to another room to speak. Kenji noticed but didn't say anything.
"It's just as we've thought. He's creating artificial life that he can't control. That's the only reason he would try to kill that child." Kakashi said
"Yes, it seems like we may need to speed things up with our cold war with the sound. "Tsunade said
"And apparently We'll need to deal with that arcosian problem." Kakashi said
"I have a solution for that. I'll be introducing it to the 5 Kage" Shikaku said
"Speaking of the Kage. Did we get word from the Uzukage on what that explosion was?" Tsunade asked
"Yes, it was the same explosion Kakashi dealt with. The Seal of Abaddon!"
"A piece of destruction. How fitting for the meaning of that seal. If what you've told me is true and you used your kamui to absorb that then you'll be on bed rest for a few weeks. Your tenketsu in that eye are healing thanks to the senzu roots Jiraiya brought back but you'll need to be careful if you come in contact with another one of those. Remember that explosion took out half a village while it was on the edge." Tsunade concluded.

Shisui stood with Vegeta and the 5th Hokage Shikaku Nara. Everyone was watching them as they were being seen off to the 5 Kage Summit. As they walked Shikaku waved as his Hokage garbs billowed in the wind. He had already hugged and kissed his wife and said goodbye to his son and he was off. Soon they were past the gate and they leapt into the forest foliage moving at full speed.
"This summit may be the first time all 5 nations were truly on neutral terms." Shikaku said
"Yeah, even with the fact that there are Saiyans in 4 of the 5 great nations?" Shisui asked
"There is a Saiyan in the Hidden Cloud. Kakarot's twin brother, Turles." Vegeta said bitterly
"You say his name like it's poison" Shikaku said
"Turles, is a less than respectable warrior. He betrayed us and gave away our location in the Land of Lightning, getting several young Saiyans killed. Afterwards we had to create a barrier of lightning around where we lived to keep out the enemy shinobi."
"And he was granted a position in their ranks because of his power." Vegeta said with a scowl
"Are you sure it wasn't for something else?" Shikaku said
"I don't know. All I do know is that those children died. And while I have let go of his betrayal I can never trust him again" Vegeta said
"Should we be wary of the Hidden Cloud then?" Shisui asked
"No, because we have a formidable force of our own. On top of that we have the Mist and Earth Village in our corner." Shikaku said with confidence.
"What about the Hidden Sand?" Shisui asked
"We've redrawn the contract between one another and kept up our trade agreements. We've been slowly rebuilding the trust between us. So it's shaky right now." Shikaku said

Konan and Nagato were on their way back to the Hidden Valley Village in the land of Rivers. They were silent as they walked back, keeping vigilant as they walked down the road to their destination. Nagato was using his full range of vision as well as sensing for chakra signatures. Konan had shikigami floating around several keep points of their vicinity. One of them had medium-length gray hair that was slicked back and distinctive purple eyes. He was a tan-skinned man with long dark-brown hair. His eyes had an unusual coloring: green irides, no pupils and red sclerae. He wore a mask that showed his hidden waterfall headband. It was Hidan and Kakuzu walking towards the Hidden Leaf Village. Nagato's Rinnegan gleaned as he stood tall in front of them.
"Ohooo, if it isn't the traitorous leader! I'm glad you switched up ya know, cause now I can sacrifice you to Lord Jashin! HAHAHA!" Hidan said
"Hidan, relax and get a grip on yourself. We don't have time to play with them. We're going to get the 9 tails afterall." Kakuzu said
The wind blew through the forest clearing as Nagato allowed his killing intent to fill the area.
"You two won't be going any closer to the Hidden Leaf. I suggest you turn around."
Konan was silent but began to slowly bring her shikigami in position to attack. Hidan got a psychotic look in his eyes as he pointed his scythe towards Nagato.
"Excellent! I've always wanted to face you down! This is the perfect time to put you in your place!"
"Hidan you fool! Don't- he-" Kakuzu had to jump as several shikigami moved in to attack them exploding as they hit the ground and Hidan.
Konan began to float as she grew paper wings and sent out a multitude of sharp paper planes towards Kakuzu moving him away from Hidan.
Nagato looked at Hidan as a black chakra rod extended from his hand and his steps toward him were deliberate and slow. Hidan grimaced as he grew angry at his confidence.
"YOU WILL NOT BEAT ME JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME LITTLE DOJUTSU!" he yelled as he ran up to slash at him with his red 3 bladed scythe.
Nagato leaned the opposite direction and used his chakra rod to parry him. He spun faster than Hidan thought he could and kicked him in his ribcage sending him flying into a tree smashing through the trunk. Nagato looked at him with patience.
'Perhaps I should use him to test out how strong I've become.' the Rinnegan baring Uzumaki thought.
"I know you're not dead. You can't fool me Hidan. I know all of your abilities after all so you won't be cutting me" he said
Hidan pulled himself up as he spat blood and looked to see his akatsuki cloak torn and cut up. He got an insane grin across his visage.
"YES! YES! YES! THIS IS THE BATTLE I'VE-"
Suddenly he was cut off as Nagato's chakra rod pierced his throat and went to pull it out as he bled from the impaled wound. He swung out his scythe and Nagato jumped and narrowed his eye, holding out his hand to the back of his head at point blank range.
"Almighty Push!" he said and the force pushed Hidan's head out of his neck effectively breaking it and smashing his body into the his body tore through the soil as his body dug up a trench in the ground making a skidding sound. He landed and shrugged but kept his eyes on Hidan.
The twisted and mangled body of Hidan began to stand up shakily. Nagato slowly walked over as his hand began to glow. Hidan swung his scythe at him sloppily and he dodged. He pulled out a chakra rod from his left arm and stabbed him in his right shoulder. Hidan's eyes were bloodshot as he was angry from being stabbed in his neck and being rendered mute. He tried to bite Nagato but stabbed him with another chakra rod through his mouth piercing through the back of his throat and neck. Then he grabbed Hidan's left arm as he tried to attack him and he broke his wrist causing him to wince in pain and drop to one knee. He put his hand on the top of his head and said.
"Ningendo!" and ripped out his soul causing him to fall to the ground dead. He went to take off his akatsuki ring but he suddenly felt a large killing intent and he jumped backwards from Hidan's body as it glowed red and white. He slowly began to rise as his body healed. The rods in his body were pushed out and his ligaments snapped back into place. His skin became pale and his hair began silver as his cloak blew off and he got magatama down his arms and across his chest. His sclera was now black while his eyes were still purple. Nagato narrowed his eyes at the man and he held out his hand ready to use an Almighty Push. As Hidan's body landed he made a hand gesture and his scythe levitated and moved towards his hand. He then looked Nagato in his eyes and spoke.
"You who bares the eyes of that despicable sage would dare to disturb my rest?" with a harsh tone
"And you who opposes the balance of this world would dare to defy the God who presides over it?" Nagato replied with the same harsh tone.
"Oho, so you believe you can stop me?"
Nagato was silent as the look in his eyes said everything for him. He leapt forward with his scythe ready to attack.
"YOU WILL KNOW THE WRATH OF JASHIN!" HE YELLED
"Almighty Push!" he said as the force from the attack clashed with his gravity pulse causing his Rinnegan eyes to widen.
He pushed more chakra into the attack causing Jashin to be pushed back flipping to land on hsi feet.
"You. You aren't Hidan." Nagato said as he was still in his battle stance.
"Very good boy. I am not my follower. He was more of my host and did as I asked of him. I am Jashin Otsutsuki! THE DEVIL OF THE OTSUTSUKI CLAN!" he yelled as he disappeared causing Nagato to dodge and jump back shooting chakra rods at him as they moved through the forest.
"DON'T RUN NOW BOY! FIGHT ME!" Jashin yelled
Nagato channels Asura path chakra through his right arm as it becomes like a machine and his hand transforms into a cannon and he slows down to turn around and aims the attack at his opponent.
"It's over!" Nagato said, firing a light blue sphere composed of dense chakra.
Jashin laughed as he cut the orb in half as it exploded causing a huge explosive impact destroying the environment around them.
Suddenly he had to dodge an incoming scythe from the smoke. An injured Jashin leapt out of the smoke with bruises all over him.
"THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! GIVE ME MORE! SHOW ME EVERYTHING YOU'VE LEARNED WITH THOSE EYES!1"
With Konan and Kakuzu:
She was dodging a stone covered fist from Kakuzu's and then she slammed a paper tag onto his arm jumping backwards. She put her hands in the ram seal and yelled
"Kai!" Causing an explosion to engulf his body.
She slid across the ground and created more shikigami.
"You know, your heart might be worth taking after all brat!" He said walking out as the thread from inside him reattached his right arm.
He tore off his cloak and channeled chakra throughout his body. Konan noticed that he had 4 masks on his back. The threads that kept them sealed inside of his back undid themselves from the stitches and for masked beasts formed with the elements of lightning, fire, water and wind.
Konan looked at him in disgust as she began to grow paper wings.
"So you're still collecting hearts are you?"
"But of course. And you will be a fine backup to my collection hahaha." he said
They sized each other up as she looked at the akatsuki member and his 4 beasts made of whatever chakra read ran through his body.
Suddenly she sent out several shikigami and the beast weaved through them causing her to jump back in a body flicker. As she maneuvered through the forest she had avoid a gust of pressurized wind
sent to her. She avoided that and went through hand signs as she landed.
"Earth style: Mud Wall!" She called out as a large slab of earth rose to both an incoming fire technique at her.
Soon she created a paper clone and sent it to throw him and his creatures off as she disappeared in a flock of paper butterflies hiding in a tree.
As the beast continued to attack her paper clone she waited as she had her hands in the ram seal.
The paper clone was throwing paper shuriken at the beasts.
They dodged and continued their assault. She continued to counter attack, finding openings when she could to break up their formation.
Soon the beast with the water sign shot a pressurized blast of water at her. She ran sideways as she flipped and maneuvered around her attacks. She perched herself onto a tree trunk and pushed off a tree as she was hit by a blast of lightning shooting through her arm. As she fell and the lightning beast tried to grab her the paper clone exploded.
"Rrgh! Curse you!" Kakuzu said as he dropped to one knee as he clutched his chest in pain.
He looked around as his beast with the lightning mask cracked and fell apart. Soon the beast deteriorated and began to melt into black sludge.
"Humph, it looks like he underestimated me." she said.
She put her hand in the ram seal again and sent her another barrage of paper shuriken at Kakuzu and his masked beast constructs. He jumped back hazily as his two of his beats combined back inside of him and he left his water beast outside. His joints began to click as the stitches in his arms, neck and back opened as the threads grew from his body. He went through hand signs and the beast shot out a bullet of water at the paper shuriken.
"You! ARE ANNOYING!" He yelled as the water bullet overpowered her paper shuriken barrage as she had to dodge.
She body flickered through several bullets of water going through hand signs ending in the bird seal.
"Wind Style: air bullet barrage!" Shooting out a barrage of air bullets colliding with the water.
Kakuzu went through hand signs ending in the dragon seal and then he blew out a fire ball reinforced by an air bullet.
"Combination style: Dragons Might!"
Konan jumped out of the way as part of her cloak was burnt.
"Damn!"
Next she had to dodge and she barely felt the moisture of another water bullet. As she dodged and landed as she threw out some paper shuriken at the beats mask. It dodged and leapt back as Konan took a reprieve to run through a thick foliage and create another paper clone. She sank into the ground as she got another idea. As she did, the man blew out a burst of wind and fire towards her hiding place. As the clone ran sideways it dodged several more bullets of water while getting closer.
Kakuzu shot a burst of flames at the Konan clone and she had to substitute. He moved in on the clone with his threaded arms. She dodged and jumped back as she had to dodge a water bullet.
He caught her face with his hand as he brought her back to him and then she exploded into a giant assortment of paper bombs causing his eyes to widen. As the smoke cleared there was a log in place of where he was.
Kakuzu reappeared behind a tree with a grimace on his face.
"Bitch! She almost got me!"
He stood up as he went through hand signs ending in the bird hand seals.
"Wind style: Vacuum Sphere!"
He jumped from behind his cover and blew several crescents of wind through the tree foliage to draw her out. She had been grazed on her right side of her rib cage.

Nagato clashed with Jashin as chakra rod met scythe and their weapons caused sparks to fly. Nagato pushed Jashin back causing him to fly away as his feet slid across the ground.
"Urgh! You're a resilient one. But now it's time for you to die!" Jashin said as he channeled black and white chakra into his scythe.
Jashin jumped up and slashed downwards, sending out a crescent wave of black chakra with a glowing white outline. Nagato put up a hand and spoke.
"Preta Path!" He said as he began to absorb the chakra.
Soon Jashin appeared behind him and slashed his side drawing blood.
"Almighty Push!" He yelled as he sent him flying, bouncing across the ground and slammed into a tree.
Nagato used his chakra to heal himself as his wounds closed up from the absorbed chakra. He snarled as he raised a hand forward.
"Universal Pull!" He yelled
Dragging Jashin forward with a high amount of pressure. He then channeled the Asura path as his arm turned into a mechanical cannon pointing it at him and shooting the condensed ball of chakra. As the impact from the blasts detonation continued he had to jump back and then he landed on his feet skidding backwards.
"That wasn't nearly enough but that should've destroyed that scythe." He said
"Oh, did you forget that I had another weapon?" Jashin said as he walked outside of the smoke holding onto an all black pike.
Nagato pushed another chakra rod out of his right hand. Jashin smirked as a red aura outlined his body.
"You seem to think that you're a match for me. Why don't we fix that!" He said as he disappeared.
Nagato jumped back using his chakra rod to parry the attack. He jumped upwards as he had to leap away from the Otsutsuki who was stabbing at him.
The Uzumaki jumped past his opponent but Jashin spun at inhuman speed, positioning himself to stab at him. Nagato brought up his chakra rod to block the sharp end of his pike. He had to bring his hand up to block a left handed strike from Jashin as the force from the blow sent him flying into a tree.
"Aaaahh!" He said as he slammed into the ground.
He immediately had to roll to the side and avoid a stab from the black pike.
"Crap!" He said as rolled against and pushed himself up hastily.
The redhead jumped back as Jashin tried to kick him. Jashin immediately pushed forward and they continued to battle at a high speed. Nagato tried to use his other chakra rod but Jashin caught his wrist and headbutt him, sending him crashing to the dirt.
"Urgh!"
"Now then it's time for you to die!" Jashin said as he brought up the pike. When suddenly he had to jump backwards as a hand made of sand tried to grab him.
"Tch, the one tails?" He said as he skidded back landing in a defensive position.
Gaara walked forward dressed in his Kazekage cloak. He wore a long-sleeved crimson coat and full-length dark trousers with a pair. Over the coat he wore two buckled belts, a gray vest held in place by a single strap over his left shoulder, and two buckled belts which he also used to carry his gourd.
"You know what I carry. Then you must be the akatsuki. My siblings are taking care of your partner as we speak." The 5th Kazekage said.
Then he looked at Nagato from his peripheral vision.
"Your operatives made it to my village. In Fact they should be making their move right about-"
Before he could finish his sentence Ajisai and Suiren appeared shooting out several bullets of water at him. As he tried to dodge he was caught by several tendrils of sand, and they began to wrap him up. He pulsed out his chakra and burst out of the sand and the water bullets.
"Barrier!" He yelled as the red chakra barrier burned through the attacks.
Gaara and Nagato stood ready to battle.
The Sand jinchuriki raised his hands as a title wave of sand rose behind Jashin.
The Otsutsuki rolled his eyes as he blurred out of sight to stab the 5th Kazekage. But he was blown back by Nagato into the crashing waves of Sand. The sand wrapped him up but he quickly activated his Barrier.
"You'll need more than that!" he snarled.

Konan was dodging water bullets as she dodged the beast with the water mask and Kakuzu himself. He was eventually attacked By two puppets. One had a bucket-shaped face sporting two sharp red horns and six arms; its facial features include three eyes similar to Karasu, with a dark, disheveled hairstyle. Its overall body-frame somewhat resembles a large barrel. The other had a bucket-shaped face sporting two sharp red horns and six arms; its facial features include three eyes similar to Karasu, with a dark, disheveled hairstyle. Its overall body-frame somewhat resembles a large barrel.
Kakuzu used the thread inside his body to wrap the puppets up and stop them. Next a gust of wind tore through the forest towards him and his puppets. Several gusts of wind tore through the mask of the water beast. Kakuzu opened his mouth and shot out a ball of gale force wind mixed with flames.
Temari and Kakuro jumped back to avoid the attack. Konan was standing off to the side and then she sent out several sharp lances made of paper towards the zombie man. He dodged several but he received a lance through his stomach and another through his shoulder. He quickly jumped backwards moving towards cover in the foliage. He began to absorb his masks in his back and pull out the paper lances only for the first one to begin to sizzle.
"F-FUCK!" he yelled as the lances exploded.
The explosion blew his body apart and another one of his hearts was destroyed. And he was on death's door.
With Jashin:
He grew annoyed with his opponents and so his eyes began to glow and he jumped forward in a blur and then he faked out Gaara only to reappear and kick Gaara in his head sending him flying across the field. Then his body flickered in front of Ajisai and used his back hand to slam her across the face, sending her flying into a boulder. He body flickered over to Suiren and punched her in the stomach, causing her to pass out from the pain and cough up bile.
Nagato jumped backwards, going through hand signs to shoot out a dragon flame jutsu towards him. Jashin dodged and threw his pike at Nagato who dodged but the black rod tore through his right shoulder.
"ARGH!"
Jashin appeared in front of them to rip the pike out but he used an almighty push Nagato thwarted him again from getting his blood. He ripped the pike out and used his gravity to condense the pike into a metal ball.
"You are annoying!" he yelled as he opened his hand and channeled red, black and with chakra into a tailed beast ball and shot it at Gaara who was shakily standing up. Nagato snarled as he raced to jump in front of Gaara and then he used another Almighty push against the force of the attack. Gaara straightened up quickly and then he began to wrap a tremendous amount of Sand around the attack as it detonated.
He tried to push the attack back with hsi sand but the explosion went off and the Sand began to crack as chakra seeped through. Gaara's face grimaced in concentration as he tried to keep a hold on the exploding tailed beast ball. Nagato quickly began to pressure gravity around the remaining sand to condense it. Nagato turned around and shot a strong gravity pulse out at Gaara as the explosion engulfed him. Gaara looked in horror as he saw the blast hit Nagato in the back. But he then channeled the Preta path as he began to absorb the tailed beast ball.
"Shit! I almost forgot I could do that! Phew!" he said in relief as his body began to heal up from absorbing the chakra.
"You've got to be kidding me" Gaara sighed out in relief as his life was flashing before his eyes
Jashin flew off in a blur and ran up on Kankuro who was turning around and kicked him into his calf with enough force breaking it and slamming an elbow into his chin knocking him out and making him break several teeth and bite his tongue drawing blood. He then body flickered to Temari and kicked out at her but she blocked with her fan and the impact from the force sent her flying through the forest. Konan dodged his attack and tried to attack him but he disappeared and he ran to snatch Kakuzu who had one heart remaining and then he began to fly away with the akatsuki member over his shoulder with speed.
Konan thought to fly after him but she thought better of it. Ajisai and Suiren who had been incapacitated from the battle due to being caught off guard. They were holding their bruises as Suiren helped the Kazekage to stand up. Nagato's jacket was burned away as the remainder of his shirt was blown off and he stood up with only his pants and sandals remaining. He sighed as his body finished healing and he turned towards where Konan, Temari and Kankuro were. Gaara, Suiren and Ajisai followed him.
Temari was tending to an injured Kankuro as he was knocked out. Nagato used his Rinnegan and held out his hand and then a dark portal opened and the king of hell was summoned. He had two Rinnegan in his eyes.
"The Rinnegan possesses many abilities. The Naraka path has the ability to heal. Allow him to enter and he'll be fine." he said.
Temari looked at him with distrust then at the head of the king of hell.
"Temari, do as he says. He is with the group Boshoku that his mobilized to take down the akatsuki" Gaara said
She looked at Konan who was wearing a black coat with blue clouds. Then at Ajisai and Suiren whom she met at the village. Then she placed him in the giant mouth of the demon and he swallowed Kankuro, closing his mouth. Temari gasped as the beast chewed. Then even alarmed Gaara as he got a feeling of unease from seeing this as well. A few seconds later the beast opened its mouth and Kankuro grimaced as he stumbled out of the beast.
"Well, that was interesting." he said as he shakily stepped out of the beast's mouth and took a deep breath.
Nagato dropped to a knee as he unsummoned the king of hell.
"Thank you, Lord Kazekage. I think it would've gotten really bad if you and your guards didn't show up we might be done for." Nagato said.
"Of course. The Land of Wind is a neighbor to the land of Rivers and an ally to the land of Fire. And we thank you for your detailed information about the akatsuki." Gaara replied
Gaara was still a bit weary of him due to Nagato being a former member of the akatsuki. But, he did just save his life so he relaxed at the moment.
"You have our support should you ever need it. Just send us a message." he said
"Likewise Kazekage. Should you need something, send word to the Hidden Valley Village. We will show our support." Nagato replied.

Zetsu rose out of the ground in a room with Madara and Orochimaru. The Sannin had just transplanted the Rinnegan inside of the rogue Uchiha.
"Madara, I bring news of an interesting development"
"And what would that be?" he asked while putting on his cloak.
"It seems that Nagato has started a counter organization to the akatsuki known as Boshoku. They wear black cloaks with blue clouds similar to hour design"
"Kukukuku, looks like he took your betrayal personal"
Madara turned around with a purple glow to his Rinnegan.
"He shall be dealt with then. I'll send some of our units after him."
"Speaking of that Kakuzu and Hidan came across him and Konan but they lost. But that's not what worries me. It seems like Hidan is the Jashin Deity he worships and his power slightly eclipsed Nagato."
"Interesting! We can use his grudge against them to our advantage." Madara said
"And one more thing. There will be a 5 Kage Summit in a few days to discuss what to do about the akatsuki" Zetsu said, catching the gaze of man's Rinnegan and Sharingan.
"Even more Interesting. We shall be in attendance. We might catch some jinchuriki out of this." He said.
Later on after the surgery:
Orochimaru sat on a throne looking at the unhooded individuals in red cloaks with white suns on the back. The unhooded man with red hair and a thick beard, tan skin, mature features and purple eyes.
"Now that I am less occupied we may speak." the snake sannin said
"My name is Farruko Uzumaki, leader of the rebel once loyal black ops faction known as Hikari for the Hidden Whirlpool. What I seek is asylum, nothing less and nothing more. Given this I will provide you Uzumaki clan secrets along with use of my current forces" he said
"What do you really wish to achieve by gaining asylum in my territories?" he asked
"I seek vengeance! Against the Hidden Cloud and the Hidden Stone! I seek the destruction of their villages! Anyone who allies with them, be they friends or family will die as a result!" he hissed out gritting his teeth.
Orochimaru gained a glint in his eye with an unnerving smile as he bared his fangs.
"I wish for the destruction of my former home, the hidden Leaf Village. If you help me destroy them, then I will help you in your goals" he retorted
"Fine by me. But….you'd do well not to cross me. I know your history, and I also know how to deal with your kind!" he said turning around harshly
Orochimaru chuckled at the threat but he knew the man could make good on what he said.
"I would say the same to you. Afterall we are allies by circumstance. I'd hate to have to cut off such a useful extension" he said in a dangerous undertone
The Uzumaki did not flinch but he kept his guard up as he walked away. Orochimaru could feel the pressure from the man and his eyes narrowed as he looked at the man walking away with a touch of weariness.
"I will be speaking with you on using your security seals on this compound" Orochimaru said

3 days later -Land of Iron: 5 Kage Summit
"You may be seated!" Mifune said.
He said as the Kage sat their hats on the table and at different points in the room at a round desk.
"The 5 Kage summit has begun! Lord Hokage, you called for this meeting so you can begin." Mifune said and Shikaku nodded.
"I have called you all here to discuss several issues across the nations due to the akatsuki. They attacked our village and subsequently the 4th Tsuchikage as well. Along with that they were able to brainwash the 4th Mizukage and sent a hidden village into civil war. And more recently they had a civil war within their organization."
"Yes, I received a message from that group, Boshoku. Do you think you can trust them?" The 4th Raikage asked causing Shikaku to nod in confirmation
"They are students of Lord Jiraiya and as of now they have shown themselves to be reliable. With the amount of information they've given us" Shikaku said
"I can attest to this. On my way to the summit I fought alongside Nagato Uzumaki against the akatsuki with my siblings" Gaara said
"Yes, I believe we've all received information about the akatsuki. They're being backed by several different enemy nations" Raikage said
Vegeta looked at Turles and his eyes narrowed. Wukong ignored him as well as he stood behind the Raikage.
"Differences aside, the akatsuki are a threat to all hidden villages. I propose we create a temporary alliance between the villages until they are gone." Wukong said.
Raikage looked around at all of the other Kage realizing they all seemed to be less on edge and on the same accord.
"Agreed." Shikaku said
"I second that. During the chunin exams 3 years ago I did battle with them and was no match even using my tailed beast's power alongside another jinchuriki, Naruto Namikaze." Gaara said
"I am also in agreement due to the jinchuriki of the 3 tails being under the control of the akatsuki and causing discord in the Hidden Mist for years. We got this from 2 sources, Ao who has a Byakugan and Shisui Uchiha who fought against the 3 tails jinchuriki using his Sharingan. " Zabuza said.
"I've fought against several of Orochimaru's forces during the Sand and Sound invasion during the chunin exams 3 years ago. And he has several capable shinobi in the Hidden sound which also backs the akatsuki. So I agree as well"
"It seems that 4 of the great 5 nations have agreed to band together. What's your answer Raikage?"
Ay looked around the room at the fellow village leaders. He knew that his village wasn't to be trusted due to past actions towards the Leaf and the Saiyans. He also harbored one of the biggest traitors to the Saiyans and had to maneuver smartly.
Before he spoke his mind there were several vibrations that hit the earth.
"What the hell?" Yamcha asked
Wukong looked at Vegeta and they both nodded knowing who it could be.
'Looks like they've finally arrived. This isn't good' Shikaku said
"Also, we've got bigger problems than the akatsuki. You're about to see them now" Shikaku said, causing Zabuza, Ay and Gaara to look at him in confusion.
Outside near the land of fire:
5 spacepod ships with red windows crashed onto the surface of the planet leaving strong divots in the earth. As they stopped as the smoke kicked up and the pods opened
The first being Ginyu is a tall, purple humanoid alien. The top of his head displays prominent veins, similar to that of a human brain. Two black conical horns protrude from the top sides of his head. He wears a black variant of the Battle Armor that Frieza's forces wear, with lower side guards, black and white wrist bracers, and the addition of the Ginyu Force insignia on the upper left side of the chest plate. He wears black underwear as his lower body armor.
The second being Burter, is the tallest member of the Ginyu Force, towering over the other members. He is a reptilian-looking alien humanoid with bluish skin, red sclera without pupils and many small spots on his body. He has a light orange plate with a segmented pattern on his head. He has tube ears and no nose. He wears a black variant of the usual uniform most of Frieza's army wears but, due to being a member of the Ginyu Force, has a small logo located on one of his Battle Armor chest plates. Like many other members of Frieza's army, he wears a green scouter.
The 3rd being Jeice, of average height compared to other members of the Ginyu Force, such as the tallest member Burter. He has bright red skin, white hair which reaches down to his hips, and white eyebrows. He wears a white variant of the regular Battle Armor that most soldiers in Frieza's army wears, but due to being a member of the Ginyu Force, he has a small Ginyu Force inspired logo located on one of his Battle Armor chest plates. He wears a black jumpsuit with sleeves under his armor, with white gloves and boots, and a green scouter.
The 4th being Recoome,is very tall and muscular and is distinctly human in appearance. He has shaggy orange hair, beady eyes, and a cleft chin. He wears a green scouter on his left eye, a white Ginyu Force variant of the Battle Armor with a short black jumpsuit under it, white gloves and white boots. On one of his chest plates he has the Ginyu Force's symbol.
The last member, Guido, is a short round alien with light green skin and four eyes (two small ones located like a humans eyes and two much larger eyes located at the sides of his head). He wears a white variant of the regular custom armor Frieza's army wears, but does not carry a scouter due to his head structure. Being a member of the Ginyu Force, he has the Ginyu Force symbol on one of his armor's chest plates.
"Captain, my scouter is picking up strong power levels near us." Jeice said
"Yes, I do believe that's where the Saiyans may be. Ginyu force out!" he replied
"Sir!" The other 4 saluted
They all blasted off at full speed towards the hidden Leaf village.
Sozu was in the Hyuga clan district going over living conditions with Hinata and the Hyuga clan head.
"We have begun to discontinue the caged bird seal. You shall not be branded if you choose to join the Hyuga." Hiashi said.
They had been talking about this after Sozu had gotten out of the hospital. Hinata was able to speak to Sozu and convince him to come back with her to the Hyuga compound to speak. This is how he ended in front of the clanhead.
"Um, thank you. But I really need to-"
Suddenly he was cut off by the room vibrating and the earth outside rumbling for a few moments. Sozu looked in the direction that he sensed the foreign power signatures and he got up and ran out of the room towards the compound entrance.
Hinata and Hiashi got up to follow him and then he flew off as soon as he got to the entrance.
"What's gotten into him?" Hiashi said as he saw Sozu fly off
"It's that invading empire! He's going after them!" She said
"Tch, then I leave him in your hands. We shall discuss this when you return" he said.
Hinata nodded as she took flight at the compound entrance after Sozu.
'Naruto. Can you hear me?' She called out.
Naruto was with Kenji eating at Ichiraku Ramen and he looked up after slurping some noodles.
'What's up Hinata? You sound troubled' he asked
'It's Sozu, he's gone and flew off towards the site where those ships crashed'
Naruto sighed as he finished eating.
'I really wish he would chill. I was gonna handle it after I finished eating. Don't worry, I got him.' he said as he put down money and drank his water and teleported.
He appeared next to Sozu and shocked him, causing him to lose flight as he caught him and then teleported back.
"Ok, Kenji, let's go get Sasuke and deal with these guys before Sozu gets int 1." Naruto said as Kenji finished eating and put down his money.
"Right" he said and then Hinata landed in front of them as she jumped down from a building.
"Are we going already?" She asked
"Nah, but grab on." He said and they all did as he teleported and then they found themselves teleported to the village entrance.
"Ok, now to get Sasuke" he said as he was about to teleport.
"Relax, I'm already here" Sasuke said as he was leaning against the gate.
Soon, Sozu shakily stood up.
"You. Suck. For that." He said as he grimaced at Naruto.
"It was temporary. Besides, we're about to teleport to them once I get a reading" Naruto said.
Xxx
Konohamaru and Udon were looking at the smoke from the landing. They were on a C-rank delivery mission from the land of Tea and halfway back to the village those ships landed in the distance.
"Konohamaru, Udon, don't doddle" Itachi said, hurrying his students into the forest foliage out of sight.
"But, sensei-"
Itachi looked at Konohamaru with his no nonsense stoic expression and he immediately turned around and kept moving.
"R-right. I'm going" he said
Soon Itachi got his students to start moving through the shadows quietly but unbeknownst to him Guildo could sense life force energy. The Ginyu force flew forward and Guildo looked down at the forest with interest as he used his telekinesis to cause chaos and uproot several trees and boulders.
Itachi luckily had gotten his students in a cave near the destroyed forest.
"Sensei. I'm scared" Moegi said as she looked at Itachi in worry.
Itachi had them stay in the cave as he went out to confront the enemies.
"I'm going to cause a distraction and when I do, you must run." he said
Itachi walked outside and Konohamaru looked at him in reverence as he left the cave. Itachi leapt forward through the trees and he landed in a clearing where the Ginyu force floated above. He activated his mangekyo sharingan immediately because he knew they weren't human.
"Ohhoooo, we've got a live one fellas. Look at him. He looks mad" Recoome said in a childish tone.
"And, it looks like he's hiding 3 more people further back." Recoome said as he crossed his arms.
"Hmmm, holding out on us is ill advised" he said as he landed with the rest of the Ginyu force.
The Uchiha stood poised to strike as he was ready to fight at a moment's notice.
"OH! You look pretty tough for an earthling. Let me kill this fly." Guildo said stepping up
Guildo created a ki blast and shot it at Itachi who dodged. Guildo smirked as he used his time freeze to fly up and punch him. Itachi noticed him and dodged kicking him into the ground. Guildo skid across the pavement to a stop into a tree.
"Whoa! Looks like these humans got some fight in em." Recoome said.
Itachi landed and stayed militant as he kept an eye out for Guido. Soon he began to channel chakra into his right eye.
"Amaterasu!" he yelled out and Guildo held his breath and froze time getting up and running to the side.
Unfortunately Itachi's mangekyo could see through his time freeze and he had to fly out of the way. Guildo grinned and flew towards the forest causing Itachi to follow him. Guildo created a ki blast in his hand and shot it at the cave that his team was in. Itachi manifested his Susano'o ribcage and it's right arm and he tanked the blast.
Guildo looked interested in this as he dodged a swat from Itachi's spectral avatar and flew into the sky causing the Uchiha to manifest another arm and reach towards him as he flew back from reach.
"Hehehehe, looks like you're not just some backwater human after all. But don't get cocky!" Guildo yelled as he used a destroyed tree to launch at Itachi as he punched through the giant tree.
Itachi manifested his spectral rib cage even further and created the full upper half of an ethereal red skeletal warrior. Guildo shot more ki blasts at the spectral warrior and he had to guard the cave as Guildo continued to fire ki blasts at him. Soon his Susano'o began to grow muscle and armor, gaining a shield and sword and Guildo had to fly backwards to not get slashed by the spectral blade.
"What the? He has a sword now?" Guildo yelled as he had to avoid several sword strikes.
Itachi created an explosion clone and had it hide in the foliage and wait.
Guido dodged another sword swipe as he had to fly higher and Itachi went through hand signs ending on the tiger seal and he shot out a fireball jutsu towards Guildo who tried to use telekinesis on the fire but but he also had to dodge another spectral hand from Itachi.
"DARN IT!" He yelled as he shot a ki blast into the fire and flew backwards. Itachi began to form the circular spectral thread with 3 spectral magatama rotating simultaneously.
Recoome looked interested in the attack and then he saw his scouter going up dramatically.
"Hmmm, power level of 20000? Not bad for a human" Recoome said
Guildo used his telekinesis on Itachi's sword but then he noticed a clone of Itachi running up the Susano'o's arm and it pushed chakra into its jump. Guildo used telekinesis on the clone.
"Oho, so you can make cl-"
The clone exploded sending Guildo flying out of the forest as he flipped and floated with some bruises and damage marks across his body and armor. Itachi stood ready to battle with his Susano'o ready to battle.
"YOU! THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SUFFERING!" he yelled out.
Itachi stood realizing this alien could kill his students with his telekinesis. He threw the spinning disk of magatama at Guildo.
"Yasaka Magatama!" Itachi yelled and Guildo dodged.
He stretched out his hand as the 3 magatama beads tore off the circular thread and one of them tore through Guildo's side causing him to bleed out.
"Argh! What the hell, was that?" he called out as he flew back injured with murder in his eyes.
Itachi's Susano'o began to fizzle back to just a spectral ribcage as he dropped to one knee.
Guildo grimaced as he used his telekinesis to shave down 10 trees into fine sharpened points.
"RAAAAGHHH DIEEEE!" he yelled as he sent the trees at him. Itachi grimaced as his susano'o grew arms and swated the sharp tree trunks out of the way and moved towards Guildo.
"JUST DIE!" he yelled out as he tried to llift the ground up as Itachi approached but Itachi jumped off the ground as it lift and called out.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Guildo found himself in a black and red universe with crows and the ground underneath him began to crack and he fell into a dark pit. His body hit the ground with a thud as he struggled to stand.
"You should've never came hear." he heard a whisper to the side of him
He whirled around and a being made of red flames looking like Itachi's Susano'o stabbed him through his chest and the flames from the sword began to eat him alive.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!" he yelled
In the real world.
"Amaterasu!" he said harshly as he walked past Guildo's burning body towards the Ginyu force.
"Who's next?" He asked as he studied them each intently..
Suddenly, Kenji, Naruto, Sasuke, Sozu and Hinata appeared next to him causing his eyes to widen.
"When did you mark me with the Hiraishin?" Itachi asked
"The last time we sparred." Kenji shrugged
Itachi smirked as he looked forward at the enemy causing Kenji and the others to look forward. The pressure from Ginyu specifically caused Hinata to activate her Byakugan and look at him.
"His ki level! It's tremendous!" She said
"Humph! This is what we trained for." Naruto said, cracking his knuckles and putting his hands in the ram seal to unleash his gravity seals.
Sozu drew his katana as he released his ki. Sasuke stood as his killer intent began to spike as well as Kenji releasing his gravity seals.
"And who are you guys supposed to be?" Sasuke asked
They all chorused out and posed.
"Jeice!"
"Burter!"
"Recoome"
"And I am Captain Ginyu!"
"And we are… THE GINYU FORCE!"
The shinobi all looked at them like a joke with comical sweat drops on their heads.
"It's not the same without Guildo" Recoome said
"Yes… he will be missed" Ginyu said with tears in his eyes
"A moment of silence for our brother in arms" Burter said
"Are these guys serious?" Naruto asked
A moment passed as they dry their tears and stood to face the shinobi
"Alright! Sorry about that we had to mourn our brother. And now It's my turn! You guys look strong. So who's my opponent?" Recoome said as his ki released and they felt a strong presence from him.
Sozu walked forward as his cleansed cursed seal of heaven began to spread and his Sekigan activated.
"That would be me! No one step in, I'll handle him!" He said
Recoome smirked as his scouter pinged as Sozu's power level went over 25000.
"Hmmm, let's go!" Recoome yelled and Sozu leapt towards him.
Recoome grabbed his sword and blocked an incoming kick from Sozu and headbutt Sozu sending him skidding on one foot backwards 10 feet.
"Tch!" He grimaced as his cursed seal spread across his body and up his face.
He moved at an even faster pace and dodged a punch from Recoome and tried to stab him. Recoome dodged as his scouter was cut through but nothing else as he leaned to the side and spun to back fist him in his chest sending him skidding across the ground.
Sozu jumped up and looked at the smirking Recoome as he took in a deep breath to calm himself and let his seal of heaven cover his entire body and he had a white cross across his nose as his hair turned gray. His sclera turned black and his eyes bulged veins on the side causing his glare to intensify.
Recoome's nonexistent eyebrow rose as his scouter continued to ping as Sozu's power went up to 35000. P.s. I know power levels are irrelevant but, for this part of the story I'm doing it.
Sozu stomped on the ground and his body flickered behind him to kick. This time when Recoome blocked he felt a sting go up his arm as he grimaced.
"Ah!"
Sozu channeled blue fire chakra into his sword.
"Azure Slash!" He yelled as he swung his sword forward.
Recoome shot a ki blast at the incoming sword causing an explosion that sent the two of them in opposite directions. Recoome posed as his power level increased to 50000 which was his max power.
Sozu flipped and landed on his feet as he gauged his opponent's strength and grimaced.
'This guy. He's like a brick wall!' He thought
Recoome got into a runners position.
"MY TURN!" He said in a goofy tone as a magenta covered aura surged from him.
Naruto folded his arms as he scowled at this.
"This guy is trouble." Naruto said
"Yea, he's about to get serious," Hinata said as her active Byakugan watched.
Kenji, Sasuke and Itachi watched on stoically.
"Itachi take your team and head out." Kenji said
Itachi nodded as he turned and began to leap away into the forest foliage. Burter shot a ki blast towards him but Sasuke jumped up activating his Susano'o and slapping the attack away.
"Not happening!" He said
Jeice was about to step in but then his scouter picked up 3 incoming enemies. He jumped back as he had to dodge a purple and black blur along with 2 others
"And who might you all be?" Sasuke asked
"We are shinobi from the land of Uzushio here to back up our hidden leaf allies" Yoruichi said
"Yoruichi? Cabba? Shallot? How did you guys find us?" Kenji asked as he walked over to them.
"We felt the power radiating from those two and Lord Arashi sent us as back up." Yoruichi said as she and Jeice got into a face off.
"Humph! A bunch of moths flying into the fire." Captain Ginyu commented.
Cabba locked eyes with Ginyu as he floated to stand next to Yoruichi. Shallot did the same.
"Alright! We get to fight the strong guys!" Shallot said.
"Don't be so hasty, Shallot. These are Frieza's elite warriors. They are not pushovers." Cabba said as he watched Sozu and Recoome face off.
"Shouldn't we help him?" Cabba asked
"No, he wants to do this on his own. So let him" Sasuke said
"Recoome KICK!" He yelled as he launched at Sozu and kneed him in his stomach causing him to spit up blood.
"Aaaaaugh!" He yelled as he was sent flying far away across the field.
Sozu grimaced as he channeled his ki and propelled himself forward to stop his momentum and he stabbed his sword into the ground struggling to stand.
"F-for crying out loud! This can't be all I've got!" He said as he channeled his Ki around him.
Recoome channeled his magenta ki around him and opened his mouth as a huge amount of ki channeled in his mouth.
"ERASER GUN!" He shot out a large ki wave from his mouth towards Sozu who looked to be shocked.
'I'll have to use the kaioken.' He thought as he jumped and a red aura channeled around him and his power jumped again and he flew forward in a red flash.
Recoome tilted his head upwards and Sozu dodged again. He moved in a zigzag formation with his sword. Recoome swung his head as the blast ended and channeled Ki around his right hand.
"I just made a new technique!" He called out as his hand met the blade.
"Recoome's Chop!" He yelled as he parried the sword.
Sozu grimaced as he jumped back but Recoome smirked as he shot a barrage of Ki blasts at him. Sozu dodged and parried several spheres of Ki as he floated. Recoome surged forward and tried to punch Sozu who dodged but he began to move at a super sonic speed causing Sozu to dodge.
"You know, you're pretty w-"
Sozu elbowed him in his chin, making him bite his tongue. He spun and kicked him in his ribs, finishing his combo with a ki infused slash across his armor, drawing blood and sending him reeling back from the sting.
"Urgh! You're getting interesting!" Recoome said as he posed with a devious smirk.
"Recoome, Hammarfist!" He called out as he disappeared and smashed a hammarfist into Sozu's guarding arm.
Recoome smirked and threw his other fist forward. Sozu dodged and fell back drop kicking the giant man in his stomach. The giant man smirked as he grabbed both his legs and flew to the ground smashing him into it. Recoome held his legs and pulled him up to slam his body into the ground again
"AAAUGH!" Sozu yelled out in pain
"We need to help him!" Naruto yelled out.
"Oh no you don't" Burter said as his body flickered in front of them.
"Hmmm, oh that's right your teammate is trying to run." He said as he disappeared causing Sasuke, Hinata and Yoruichi to follow him.
Jeice flew after them as well leaving Ginyu and Recoome to fight the others.
Recoome finally threw Sozu but he wasn't ready for what happened next as Sozu powered up again.
"Kaioken times 2!" He yelled as he immediately zipped back forward and kneed him into his stomach.
He kicked off and threw his katana at Recoome as he caught the blade with his gloved hand. Sozu jumped in immediately, stomping the pommel of the blade into the man's stomach area, running him through.
"FUCK YOU!" He yelled as he headbutt Recoome back and ripped out his sword jumping back and landing dropping to one knee as his aura and cursed seal fizzled out breathing heavily.
"Who's, (huff), next? (Huff)." he breathed out
Recoome grimaced as his fury boiled over.
"I'm going to kill you!" He said as his power increased. His fury was like a scalding white hot geyser that was ready to burst.
"Whoa. I knew I recognized that power from somewhere" a familiar voice said causing Sozu to stand up out of spite.
Son Gohan, Kurotsuchi, and Mina landed next to them. Sozu was working to steady his breathing as his Sekigan was still active and he used his Ki to bring his sword back to him. His blue haori was torn as well as his pants and he was bruised and bloodied.
Gohan wore a pure gi with a red obi with his hidden stone protector on it and martial arts pants and black martial arts shoes. His hair was spiked up and he was taller.
Kurotsuchi wore a large blue button up shirt with long white sleeves, a white obi, black pants and black martial arts shoes. Headband was around her next loosely.
"Yo, Sozu, good to see ya. Looks like you've been having some fun" Gohan called out.
Sozu was quiet as he drew in the remainder of his ki.
"Looks like he still wants to fight. But, that wouldn't be smart for him right now" Naruto said
"How is he alive again? We sensed his live force vanish." Kurotsuchi said
"Long story short, he's hard to kill" Kenji said
Kenji was about to walk up with Naruto strode past him with Gohan walking up with him. Naruto put a hand on Sozu's shoulder causing him to tense up.
"Stand down Sozu. You've done enough for now. Get your strength back." Naruto said
"He's right. Take a rest why don't ya" Gohan said
"He's almost outta gas. I can handle it." He said in protest
"Sozu! Stand down! Or I'll knock you out myself!" Mina said in irritation.
Kenji teleported behind Naruto and chopped the back of Sozu's neck, knocking him out. He then picked him up over his shoulder.
"Thank me later." He said as he teleported back to where he was.
Soon there was an explosion behind them that caught Mina's attention. Kenji spoke up again.
"Hey, can you go help them out back there? I kinda need to be here to watch them." he said to Mina.
Mina nodded and headed back to where everyone else was fighting.
"Ok! Now it's my turn!" Naruto called out
Gohan cracked his knuckles as he got into his fighting stance.
"Looks like we'll have to see who beats him first!"
Xxx
Itachi and his genin were headed back to the Hidden Leaf village.
Then he saw a bright Blue light coming from behind and he channeled his Susano'o around him and his student and took the blast.
"All of you come to me!" Itachi called out and his 3 genin obeyed.
Burter floated above with his arms crossed as he waited for the dust and debris to clear. Soon he had to dodge a blur of plasma as Sasuke floated in front of him. Jeice pulled up on Sasuke as he stood in front of them.
"You'll regret that!" Sasuke called out
"Really and who's going to make me?" The blue Alina asked.
Sasuke was quiet as he waited for Burter to make a move. Below them in the damaged forest foliage Yoruichi, Hinata and Mina took stock of the situation.
Yoruichi Shihōin is a slender yet athletically fit and well-endowed woman of average height. She has dark skin, golden irises, and black hair. Her hair is waist-length and kept in a ponytail with chin-length bangs framing the sides of her face. Her standard attire consists of a black, backless, sleeveless undershirt, an orange over-shirt with two white straps on each shoulder, a large beige sash around her waist, and black stretch pants with a pair of lightweight brown shoes.
Itachi and his team were fine but he was running low on chakra. As his Susano'o faded and his team was safe.
"Are you all alright?"
"Yea, just a bit shook up" Konohamaru said.
"C-can we go home sensei?" Moegi asked as she began to cry
He pat her on the head and smile reassuringly.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure we all make it home" he said
"Well you'd better get a move on"
He looked up to see Yoruichi.
"W-what are you doing here?" He asked as he helped his students to stand up.
"Don't be surprised. We in the hidden whirlpool can sense things like this from a mile away" she said
Mina, Kurotsuchi and Hinata caught up with him as well. Soon they heard several explosions in the distance and the wind blew through the foliage.
"We need to get these children out of here!" Mina said
Itachi looked over to see Sasuke in trouble and Yoruichi looked at him then back at him. She sighed as she tossed him a food pill.
"Take them back to the Hidden Leaf with Mina. I'll go and help your brother." She said as her aura released and burst through her orange shirt revealing her back.
"Are you sure I-"
"It's cute that you're worried but now's not the time for chivalry"
Itachi nodded and rallied his team.
"Alright you all, let's head back." he said and they began to move out of the clearing.
Above them:
Burter kicked Sasuke away from him but the said Uchiha used his Rinnegan to switch places with Burter and Jeice kicked Burter in his jaw.
"What the fuck?" Jeice asked
"Tch, GOD DAMMIT JEICE!" he yelled as he rubbed his jaw.
Jeice shot a ki blast at him and he used his chokuto and covered it in plasma and sliced through it vertically. Burter launched towards him and he was forced to block his forearm. Even though he was able to see the punches, he couldn't react fast enough. Burter went to kick him in his stomach and he used his Rinnegan to swap places with Jeice and kicked him in his back.
"AUGH! DAMMIT BURTER!" he yelled as he rubbed his lower spine and whirled around to look at Sasuke.
"He swapped places with me mate!" Jeice said as he looked over at Sasuke.
"Ok you hillbilly human we're gonna make you regret playing with us!" Burter said.
Sasuke stood with his Mangekyo Sharingan and his Rinnegan activated at the ready. Jeice and Burter stood in front of him as their red and blue aura's began to combine. They began to combine and spin together in a giant tornado.
Sasuke activated his Susano'o rib cage and he extended his purple spectral avatar and formed a skeleton figure around him. Soon the tornado in front of him began to spin rapidly drawing in the wind with an implosive impact and it began to draw Sasuke in but he held out his hand as his Susano'o materialized a sword and drew it while slashing at the same time. They sent out several ki blasts as he drew the sword and cut through the ki blast. They separated at the spectral sword, tried to slice them and they both shot forward and went to attack him. Yoruichi and Hinata appeared to intercept them. Hinata misdirected Jeice's kick and Yoruichi pushed away Burter's punch and they kicked them away. Hinata reverse roundhouse kicked Jeice in his neck and kicked him in his back sending him reeling back. Yoruichi kneed Burter in his stomach and spinning back fisted him sending him reeling backwards.
" Thanks Hinata and you as well…sorry I don't believe we've met" he said
"I'm Yoruichi. Your future sister in law."
"W-what? Tch, we'll talk about it later. Get ready, they're coming back for more." Sasuke said as he reactivated his Susano'o.
"You lot are gonna get sick of fuckin with us! Feel the Red Hot Magma, Jeice!" he said as he posed
"Yea, you humans are gonna be the first on our death list! Feel the Blue Hurricane, Burter!" the taller alien said as he posed.
They all had comical sweat drops as they watched this.
"Are-Are they serious?" Sasuke asked
"VERY!" Both aliens said as they charged forward.
