"Right, we'd better prepare ourselves to be stabbed in the back" - Tsunade(2) replied while remembering the old War Hawk.

"Well, I'd better call one of our loyal shinobi to explain the situation, and at the same time create countermeasures in case of a coup" - Kakashi said seriously.

"You are acting better and better as Hokage" - Tsunade(2) smiled while nodding firmly - "Now I am sure that my decision was the right one".

"I'm just trying to do my job to the best of my ability, Tsunade-sama" - Kakashi replied as he closed his only visible eye.

"I hope you keep your end of the bargain, Danzo" - Orochimaru said as he looked carefully at his 'friend'. The two were using a projection jutsu to plan the attack against Konoha.

"I gain nothing by lying to you, Orochimaru, I only desire the women, you can keep the children" - Danzo replied as he frowned - "With them, I will be able to fulfill my desire to strengthen Konoha enough to be able to conquer the Elemental Nations."

"That doesn't suit me in the least" - replied Orochimaru with disdain - "But I accept the deal, as long as you don't interfere against Oto and my plans."

"I have no need, we could even come to a new agreement" - Danzo said as a huge smile appeared on his wrinkled face - "How about after this, I hire you as my personal scientist?"

"What are you getting at?" - Orochimaru asked as his gaze darkened.

"It's simple, I wish for you to continue your experiments and help me with the strengthening of my forces, I as payment will give you the necessary test subjects" - replied Danzo as his gaze changed to one filled with a desire for battle, an instinct to bring about a war that would destroy the world as they knew it - "And when you finally succeed in achieving immortality, use it on me so that I can continue to exert my dominance and the supremacy of Konoha."

". . ." - Orochimaru was silent when he heard this as he felt Danzo's ambition was starting to get out of hand. He desired immortality not because he wished to continue to maintain his dominance in the world, but because he wished to gain all the knowledge in the world, and one life was not long enough to achieve such a goal, but Danzo was very different. What he desired, was to exist for all eternity to maintain absolute control, infinite tyranny.

"Well?" - Danzo asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"I'll think about it, though I don't promise to give you an answer until you achieve your task" - Orochimaru replied with disdain - "I gain nothing from working for you for free."

". . ." - Danzo was silent before cutting off the transmission, after all, he was furious with the Renegade Sannin's words. He had extended his hand to Orochimaru to be one of his first allies, but such it seemed that his good intentions had been wasted.

"Danzo-sama" - said a Root Anbu as he appeared in front of his leader - "The preparations are ready."

"Then let's go, we have many things to do, and a Hokage position to take" - Danzo replied as his eyes glittered slightly - "And a few incubators to get."

* * * * *

"I think Danzo is upset, Orochimaru-sama" - Kabuto said while adjusting his glasses.

"I know, but I honestly don't care" - replied Orochimaru with disdain - "That idiot thinks he's in control, but he's very wrong".

Orochimaru was sitting in a carriage as his forces calmly advanced towards Konoha, but his expression changed when he felt a familiar presence - ". . ."

"I see you haven't changed, Orochimaru" - a male voice said from the roof of his carriage.

"Come in if you want to talk, no need to act mysterious, Tobi" - replied Orochimaru as he frowned, only to notice how a dimensional rift appeared in front of him, from which the orange-masked Akatsuki member emerged - "Are you here to kill me, by any chance?"

"No" - Tobi replied calmly - "I've come to offer you a deal that I'm sure you'll be interested in."

"Oh ~?" - Orochimaru looked curiously at the Akatsuki member as he told him to continue.

"It's simple, we want you to use your strength to wreak as much havoc as possible while we go after the Kyubi" - Tobi replied calmly as he began to play with one of the fruits that were nearby - "If you do, we promise not to try to assassinate you for betraying us, we'll even make Itachi leave you alone"

"I see" - Orochimaru muttered as he nodded - "I have no problem with doing so, after all, causing as much havoc as possible is my goal from the beginning."

"Did Danzo decide to stage a Coup against Konoha?" - Tobi asked curiously.

Orochimaru was surprised when he heard Tobi's words, though he quickly pushed those thoughts out of his head and nodded - "Exactly."

"Hmm, interesting, that'll make our job a little easier" - said Tobi as he started to think - "OK, I decided, I'll get to work."

"Wait, I want to ask you a question" - said Orochimaru as he stopped Tobi.

"Speak" - Tobi replied as he gave the Renegade Sannin a cold stare.

"Do you know anything about those unknown people who came to Konoha and are posing as the Uzumaki clan?" - Orochimaru asked seriously, after all, this was important to him.

Tobi was silent for a few seconds before he started to tell everything they knew, ending in a hypothesis that seemed to be the most accurate - "If I'm honest, I believe that they are from a different dimension than ours, I say so because I felt how the Space-Time fiber of this dimension, was torn a few months ago."

"I see, that confirms my suspicions" - nodded Orochimaru as he noticed how Tobi disappeared again in his Kamui - "Ok, this makes things a lot more interesting."

"What do you think, Orochimaru-sama?" - Kabuto asked seriously.

"That if they come from another dimension, then they are real, in other words, those children are direct descendants of 3 of the most prestigious clans of the Elemental Nations" - replied Orochimaru excitedly as he felt like the trip to Konoha wouldn't be as unproductive as he thought - "Uchiha clan, Uzumaki clan, Senju clan, just the thought that I will have three direct descendants on my hands, makes me unable to contain how excited I am."

Orochimaru's laughter echoed through the place, not knowing that this would be the last trip he and his forces would have.

Kabuto had a bad feeling about the future but didn't say anything about why he knew Orochimaru wouldn't pay attention to him.

"What was it he said?" - Zetsu asked as he saw his colleague reappear in front of them with a relaxed look on his face.

"Is it necessary to ask? He agreed right away" - Tobi replied disdainfully as the other surviving Akatsuki members looked at each other.

Sasori and Deidara, had died thanks to Konoha.

Kakuzu and Hidan, were in bad condition because that unknown man had blocked their immortality.

Itachi and Kisame were the only duo that was in perfect condition, but something told Zetsu that those two were not to be trusted, which was strange with all the time they had been allied to them.

"I still say this is not a good idea," Konan said as she looked at Pain with a cold expression, "Konoha's movements are strange, and the presence of that unknown man is unsettling in the bad sense of the word."

"I said it before, and I'll say it again, Konan" - Pain said neutrally as he looked at his oldest ally - "The power of that man, is no match for that of a god."

"That attitude will be your undoing, leader-sama" - replied Konan as she retreated silently because he still had a mission to accomplish.

Pain was silent for a few seconds before completely forgetting Konan's presence. He quickly looked around and said in a cold voice - "Remember, I don't want failures this time."

Hidan and Kakuzu's expressions changed when they heard this, after all, Pain's words were being directed specifically at them.

Pain watched Itachi and Kisame carefully, but said nothing to them, because even though the Jinchuriki they had captured, had been rescued, they at least brought them in to try and extract their Bijuu, not like the immortal team who hadn't even seen a tail of the Jinchuriki that had been assigned to them.

"I'm going to continue to observe the movements of our enemies and 'allies'" - Zetsu said as he dove into the earth.

"I'm going to observe the movements of Oto and Iwa" - said Tobi as he disappeared into his Kamui.

"Let's get ready, Kisame" - said Itachi as his teammate nodded calmly, leaving the Akatsuki Immortal Duo alone.

"This is not good for our winnings" - said Kakuzu as Hidan gritted his teeth in fury as he remembered the look full of disdain that the white-haired man had given them - "That bastard is going to pay!"
