Cap 293: Let's dance!

* * * [Location: Sangaku no Hakaba (Mountain Cemetery)] * * *

"I guess it's time" - said Obito while he saw the unconscious Yugito in front of him - "A pity you didn't want to capture Uzumaki Kushina"

"I didn't do it because I owed some favors to the Uzumaki clan" - answered Madara with neutrality - "Not to mention that it is no longer necessary"

When he finished speaking, a White Zetsu appeared on the scene with what appeared to be a sphere filled with a strange red energy - "Mission completed, the chakra of the Kyubi no Kitsune, has been successfully recovered"

"What you told me is true, that boy's chakra is so strong that when his emotions get out of control, it crystallizes" - said Madara calmly while taking the strange sphere - "It's an interesting phenomenon, naturally solid chakra"

"With this, our plan is about to enter its final phase... I guess now all that's left is to take the Nibi from this woman and make that monk absorb this chakra so that we can create a pseudo-Bijuu inside him" - said Obito with neutrality while he could hardly contain the happiness he felt. He was about to be able to see the most important woman in his life again.

"What do you plan to do with the Jinchuriki?" - asked Madara normally.

"I have some plans for her," answered Obito neutrally.

* * * * *

Two days had passed since Yugito had been captured and the spirits of those who attended the [Summit of the 5 Kage] were low.

Samui had opened her eyes, but after receiving the news that she could not be a Kunoichi again, she had lost consciousness again.

Kurama had stayed in place because he knew that if he left, someone would take the opportunity to capture Kushina and the others now that they were down.

Kurama was about to see Samui but stopped his steps when he felt a familiar chakra in the vicinity. With a quick movement, he disappeared from the scene, only to reappear in the location he had sensed the chakra, only to feel his anger grow out of control - "Bastard..."

"It is a pleasure to see you again, Uzumaki Kurama" - said a slightly distorted female voice - "Although from what I see, it was not a pleasure for you"

"I'm going to kill you for doing that, Uchiha Obito," roared Kurama as his chakra exploded in fury. The reason was obvious, Yugito's body was being used as one of those condemned [Six Paths of Pain].

"Do it..." - responded 'Yugito' as she burst out laughing - "Anyway, today I just came to inform you of one thing... You lost... the plan is about to be completed, and all because you are now human"

". . ." - Kurama clenched his teeth furiously as he tried to calm down, but watching the Uchiha gloat as he used the body of his sister's Jinchuriki as a puppet, made it difficult to resist the urge to tear out her throat - "Just say what you have to say"

"You are boring..." - snorted 'Yugito' with disdain - "Anyway, I just wanted to inform you that Uchiha Madara cordially invites you to our main base to witness the return of the primordial beast. Two days... come to [Sangaku no Hakaba] and witness the completion of our plan..."

". . ." - Kurama remained silent as he watched Yugito's body disappear from the scene - "I cannot continue to feel bad ... I have to warn the others about this precarious situation ..."

* * *

After explaining the situation to the leaders, they all came to the conclusion of ending this once and for all.

They would not let Akatsuki accomplish their goals, so with enormous human effort, they gathered all their troops in a matter of minutes to make a direct attack on Akatsuki.

Kushina wasted no time, she traveled from village to village so that she could transport all the shinobis and gather them at the edge of Takigakure and the extinct village of Otogakure. Kurama did not stand still either, he traveled to the different villages of the Elementary Nations to explain the situation and ask them to join the crusade to destroy the threat to their lives once and for all.

Many of the villages agreed, but others refused to participate.

Kurama did not make life difficult for these villages, he just shook his head before disappearing from the scene because he sincerely did not have the time to talk to them, not when the war was about to begin.

* * * * *

"They are acting as we think" - said Obito as he shook his head, only to watch as Zetsu was giving orders to his army.

The allied troops had already gathered outside [Sangaku no Hakaba] and were destroying everything in their path as they searched for the central base at Akatsuki.

"That's what makes war fun," replied Madara, disappearing from the scene.

"This wasn't the best plan, but it doesn't matter," Zetsu muttered with a scowl. "Our army is already in the position to intercept our enemies...

Obito only kept silent as he squinted, now he cursed that he had followed Madara's orders because it was obvious that he just wanted to have fun before completing his plan.

* * * * *

"Attack brats!" - roared Onoki as he looked at his troops - "How come an old man like me can do it, and you can't?!

". . ." - the shinobis gritted their teeth and again launched themselves against the White Zetsu Army.

The battle was in chaos and after killing one White Zetsu, two took his place.

"I guess I couldn't expect more from some brats" - Onoki murmured neutrally - "This will be fatal for my back... Doton: Kengan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Rock Fist Jutsu)!

Onoki ran at great speed against the White Zetsu and hit them with a fist infused with her solidified earth element chakra, only to notice how all his subordinates were static.

"What are you waiting for?! Me to do all the work?!" - roared the Tsuchikage as he concentrated a large amount of chakra in his hands - "Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu (Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Jutsu)"

A huge cube of dust appeared in the hands of old Tsuchikage. Onoki threw it in the direction of the enemy troops without a second thought, just so that everyone could see how it turned to dust before it blew away with the wind - "I'm too old for this shit... Great, now I've got the hang of that old monkey..."

"I agree... you've grown old..." - said a voice that the squadron immediately recognized - "Time has not treated you well Onoki..."

"At least I didn't die and had to be brought back" - answered Onoki with neutrality - "Madara..."

"Age has made you insolent, young Onoki," smiled Madara as his eyes glowed with malice. "I guess I'll have to punish you for being disrespectful to your elders"

"You'd better fight with everything, Brats ... because if you don't, I'm warning you, you won't get out of here alive," Onoki said in a low voice as the troops tensed up.

"If you have finished giving your orders..." - said Madara as he disappeared, only to appear in the middle of the allied army - "Let's dance..."

* * * * *

"Did you find the location of the central base?!" - exclaimed Kurama as he tore apart every White Zetsu he saw with his hands. He had already lost count of how many of those white monsters he had killed, but the count was still rising. If he were alone, he would have blown up everything with just one Bijuudama, but at this moment there was not only Kushina and the others, but also his allies.

"We still have nothing!" - shouted Kushina as she cut another white Zetsu with her Katana - "Suidanha!"

"This is annoying..." - Pakura muttered as she concentrated a large amount of chakra - "Shakuton: Zetsumetsu no Hi (Scorch Release: Extermination Fire)!"

She quickly struck the ground with her hands, creating a great wave of fire around her that incinerated even the humidity of the place.

"Pakura-chan?! Don't use that when I'm gathering water to use my Jutsus!" - shouted Kushina in annoyance as she noticed how she couldn't use her Suiton Jutsus because the water in the air was gone.

"I'm sorry," said Pakura, a bit embarrassed.

"I'd better use something else..." - Kushina murmured as she went back to fight Kenjutsu - "Or I'll just do it the old-fashioned way"

"Well, now I understand why they called it [Akai Chishio no Habanero]..." - Pakura murmured as she used her Shakuton again to fight - "Let's get the job done!"

"Kurama-sama! We've heard that Madara is fighting the Onoki-sama Squad!" - shouted a Kumonin as he watched the Uzumaki dispatch the enemy with ease.

"OK, I'm coming right away!" - exclaimed Kurama as he disappeared from the scene.
