Hashi, Tobi, Saru and Mina

A few moments earlier when the 10 tails roared

"What was that? What's going on?" Hiruzen asks as resounding monstrous roar was heard as the world shook and then 3 lights shone and started pulling the 3 Hokage zombies.

"Technically 2nd Hokage-sama was summoned by Orochimaru. It seems that he's already defeated and now the Jutsu is undone. Also both 1st Hokage and 4th Hokage was summoned by the 2nd Hokage. Since he's already going back himself then there's no anchor for both of them too" explained Kuro but he wasn't feeling good about that roar. It was definitely the 10 Tailed Beast!

"4th Hokage, follow the seals I'm going to weave. This was the reason this Jutsu is forbidden." He and Hashirama weaved the same seals Madara did. And then followed by Minato who didn't have a problem copying them in the middle of it.

'As always, Minato is really a prodigy' Hiruzen commented inside his head while Kuro was thinking 'He wasn't called a genius for nothing. Only one look and he's able to repeat it immediately. If not for my sharingan, I wouldn't have been able to follow through'

The souls of the 3 zombie came back to their respective zombie body. They commended Minato for his feat on being able to immediately copy the 1st and 2nd Hokage.

"Uhm, with all due respect Sirs. But don't you all think we should go the battlefield immediately?" Kuro interrupted.

"If only I have a mark on the battlefield, I could've take us all there right now." Minato commented.

"Agreed. I'm pretty surprised you've developed Hiraishin this far" Added the 2nd Hokage along with another praise since minato was so fast earlier he was literally ahead of them when they were rushing.

Kuro could only look at them with lines on his forehead. Hashirama who saw this laughed and patted his shoulder. "Relax young one, we'll eventually get there if we hurry."

"Not to brag, but I have my mark on every commander on the battlefield" Kuro blurted out, actually he shouted which surprised the rest.

"What do you mean Kuro-kun?" Minato who had a feeling he knows what he mean asked to clarify. But Kuro who heard the name again had his head down. 'why do you guys always say my name like that. I'm not even a basketball player. Definitely not a phantom sixthman'

"He also knows how to use Hiraishin." Hiruzen answered on behalf of Kuro since the teenager himself wasn't at the right condition to answer.

"Oh, right I forgot that's how you took me to konoha. Sorry, I was pre-occupied thinking of how to stop Madara and his companion." Tobirama apologized which is not really in his character to do so normally.

"Then why didn't you say so in the beginning young one?" Hashirama asked again while still holding kuro's shoulder.

"That's because you guys immediately rushed outside and leaped into your respective head statue, even the 4th Hokage followed." He looked at Hiruzen angrily, leaving the old man sweating profuseky under pressure and looking away not meeting his eyes.

"Then all of you started rushing to the battlefield leaving me alone on top of the monument. If it wasn't for my mark by the gate of the village I wouldn't have caught up. Even when I appeared in the gate right in front of you. You guys still didn't listen to me when I told you to stop and ignored me as you passed by me. Especially 4th Hokage sama who was faster than all of you." Kuro answered and looked at Minato intently. Leaving rest silent, speechless, and under pressure. That's right, the all-knowing was pressured by a single teenager.

[Intermission, A crow passes by and said repeatedly "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!]

. . . .

A few moments later

[Hashirama laughs]

"Hahahahaha we're really sorry about that. Knowing that I'll be facing Madara once more just excites me so much. Why don't you take us now then?" Hashirama apologized happily.

'Is that even an apology?'

"Forget it! All of you grab my back now!" He angrily commanded the four Hokage. While the four could only silently follow and grab his back. "Hiraishin!"

"Hahahahaha Is this your final struggle? Very well I will crush them!" Complete Susanoo's hands once again drew its swords and lifted it in the air. While everything the alliance thrown hit the Susanoo as its armor was slowly torn off from all the attacks its receiving. Madara ignored this damages and focused on the chakra or some sort of energy being gathered on the sword that the Susanoo lifted. The color of said energy was the same as the color of the Susanoo itself.

"This is the end!" Madara declared as the Susanoo brought the energy filled swords down. 2 giant waves left the gigantic swords as it sliced through the alliance's combination Jutsu.

Lives were once again taken all over the battlefield. Some struggled as they were heavily injured. Some were throwing up blood and some even lost their limbs. Jiraiya was no better as both the elder toads were gone from his shoulder.

Beside him was tsunade as her healing started kicking in. A was faired better since he's body was built the same way as the 3rd Raikage although not as indestructible. Ohnoki already had a torn uniform, and his head was bleeding. He already passed out as A started waking him up. Temari, Mei and Gaara was exhausted but mostly fine as they were a bit of a distance away from the attack but all of them are down on the ground.

"You have nothing left to show me. I shall spare you since I need to be at a different place" His Susanoo took off to the sky and vanished. He was heading for Naruto's direction.

Not a moment later Kuro and the rest appeared beside the Tsunade surprising the rest.

"It seems like we're late. We lost here huh?" Kuro immediately said based on his observation.

"Kuro! You're finally here. What took you so lo-"

Tsunade couldn't finish her sentence when he saw Hashirama.

"Grandfather?"

"Well Hello Tsuna, How have you been? Hahaha"

"Sensei? And Minato?" Jiraiya added.

"You look worn out Jiraiya." Hiruzen answered

"Sensei, where's Naruto?" Minato however has a different thought.

"Wasn't the 2nd Hokage under Orochimaru's control?" asked Gaara by the side

"What a surprise! Boy, I like your plan!" A on the otherhand commented Kuro as he carried Ohnoki on his back who was still passed out.

Everybody then started conversing merrily as the atmosphere wasn't hopeless anymore. Since the 4 Hokage was here, they have more power on their side now. However, a certain someone was staring intently at the 4 companion he had before coming here. The 4 Hokage felt this and stopped conversing with everyone and looked back at Kuro apologetically.

"Young one! Relax! You can still take us to the enemy right?" Hashirama tried to cool down the tense atmosphere. With Tobirama, Minato and Hiruzen gesturing the same.

"Yes, and we need to go now before Madara arrives. If you guys heard that roar earlier, then I can tell you that was not a good sign."

"Why? What's wrong with that roar?" asked Hiruzen

"That was probably the 10 tails!" Everyone had a surprise look but Minato.

"Does that mean that Naruto was captured?" He asked but gloomy inside. That was his son after all. Kuro shook his head.

"They probably used a chakra similar to that of-" Kuro was interrupted.

"He used the sealed bodies of Kinkaku, Ginkaku and Blue B to revive the 10 tails. Madara is also on his way to them. Although Naruto and Bee can control their Jinchuuriki prowess. The 10 tails prove to be superior than them in terms of power. Kakashi, Gai and Sasuke are also inside Naruto's nine-tails form and recovering their chakra." Shikaku's voice was heard by everyone on the battlefield. Minato was elated when he heard about his son was doing fine and was able to control the nine-tails. And just like that Shikaku never spoke again.

"What?! That bastard.!" A became mad almost forgetting that Ohnoki was on his back but Ohnoki himself added since he regained his consciousness awhile ago.

"We should hurry and help them."

"No!" Kuro protested immediately

"All of you should recover for at least an hour! I will return and get you guys after that. For now, me, Hashi, Tobi, Saru and Mina. The five of us will be enough to hold or even defeat them in an hour. If we still can't then I'll be back here to take you all there." Kuro immediately laid out a plan.

"You do realize you have just given every Hokage in history a nickname right in front their faces, right?" Jiraiya commented by the side who was then punched by Tsunade. "Oww!! What?" And multiple slaps followed. Thus, the already injured Jiraiya received even more injuries because of his mouth.

"Is that going to be a problem Hokage-sama?" Kuro asked with a sarcastic smile towards the 4 Hokages.

"No." Tobirama, Hiruzen and Minato answered fast.

Mei was admiring Kuro once more with heart for eyes looking at him. 'So manly!' From a distance Temari herself was so shocked a bug could've entered her mouth if there was one. 'what's wrong with this guy, he's so rude in front of his ancestors!' Even A was cheering for him 'As expected of the man who was able to defeat my old man. That's just right, show them who's the boss!'

"Ahahahaha. Of course not." Hashirama had his own version of answer while holding both his waist.

"By the way, since Saru is still alive and the 4th Hokage is not. Is Saru the current Hokage?" and the subject was changed just like that.

'How I wish I could be as easy going as you Hashi' Kuro thought without any intention of answering and made his way to tobirama.

"Yes. But I already retired. I have passed the mantle to your granddaughter, Princess Tsunade. She's the 5th and current Hokage of Konoha." Hiruzen was the one to answer.

"Tsuna huh" Hashirama said gloomily forgetting that Tsunade herself was present.

"Hey! I did just fine being the Hokage! Grandfather! Humph!" Tsunade complained while crossing her hands. Jiraiya immediately covered those twin peaks and calm her down.

"Really? Hahaha, and who's this man?" Jiraiya who heard this turned around and introduced himself as he approaches Hashirama.

"I- I am her boyfriend Sir. Nice to meet you!" Tsunade reddened by Jiraiya's action. While the perpetrator himself was shaking Hashirama's hand.

[A: Ow!!! What is it this time?

A's Bro: They're old! And they still have the nerve to be boyfriend and girlfriend?

A: Why? What's wrong with that? Just don't pay attention to Jiraiya and focus on Tsunade's racks.

A's Bro: Fine. What about the MC? Are you going to tag this as harem and take both Mei and Temari for him?

A: I don't know. (Author goes into monologue)

A's Bro: Poor brother. You should move on.

A: I'm trying. (Cries like a child)

A's Bro: I, absolutely didn't see or hear anything. (Leaves the Author alone)

A: Lil bro? where are you?]

[Back to story]

"Okay." Tobirama said to Kuro who approached him earlier.

"I'll go with you." Minato by the side heard everything and want to go together.

"Alright Mina, Hold on to my shoulder." Kuro agreed. And the nicknames remain. Both Kuro and Minato disappeared from the battlefield, but no one noticed as everyone were still talking. Tobirama by the side sighed. 'This is gonna be for awhile huh'.

Akatsuki Cave (After kuro left Itachi in front of the entrance)

It wasn't that hard for Itachi to locate Orochimaru since the snake was left with no guard. He was alone in the cave.

[kekekeke]

"I was wondering when you'd show up in the battlefield. You're brother himself is already facing the tailed beasts with his friends." Orochimaru felt Itachi's presence and started a conversation.

"Are you trying to buy some time?" asked Itachi. Orochimaru have faced Itachi before, and he was completely defeated by his eyes. That's why Orochimaru wasn't exactly expecting to survive this ambush and didn't bother fighting. He simply wants to talk.

"Not really. But I have to ask. What made you decide to go back to konoha? I know your little brother invited you back but, that can't possibly be the only reason. You're gonna kill me anyway so why not give me a gift before doing it?" Asked Orochimaru with a sly smile on his face.

"Ito Kuro." Itachi's answer spoke many things though he only said a name.

While inside the akatsuki, he didn't stop his monitor on sasuke. And as he did, another soul was actually able to change his brother into something more than what he planned for. He wanted his brother to be a hero of konoha and be the one to end him. Who would've thought that his little brother would change to an extent where the hate he planted was turned to an even greater love. And other members of akatsuki were getting defeated mainly because of that said soul. That's why when sasuke explained to him that danzo is dead and he was commanded by the current Hokage to come back, he didn't hesitate or fight his brother like he planned and immediately agreed. After meeting that said soul which is Kuro, he was again surprised to hear that he's asking for permission to use shisui's eye that he got from danzo. Kuro was even willing to give it back if he doesn't agree, when Kuro could've done so without his permission. That's why he agreed and gave kuro the other eye that was also bestowed to him by his best friend. He thought at that time maybe it was destined to be his.

That name and answer has elated Orochimaru to the bones. 'Kekekeke!!! Ito Kuro, you intrigued me to no end.' was Orochimaru's thoughts as he remain and said. "Go on and kill me then if that's what you came here to do"

"I will, but first. Mangekyou Sharingan" Itachi made Orochimaru cancel the Edo Tensei. Just before Orochimaru finished weaving the signs to cancel it out, a resounding roar could be heard.

"Amaterasu!" Itachi watched as Orochimaru was slowly burned to make sure he didn't escape. As Orochimaru's body continued to burn a white Zetsu appeared and struggled to get out of his body but was unable to escape as the black flames was already burning him too.

Itachi scanned the area some more and was lead to another room full of Sharingan eyes. He didn't bother taking those eyes that were stored and simply burned them all too. Not a single eye was left. On the last room that Itachi scanned was the body of Anko tightly roped in a sitting position with blindfolds on. Anko didn't say anything though she felt that someone has come.

"So that's why there was no report after you were sent" Itachi concluded. Confusing Anko.

"Who are you?" she asked cautiously.

"I am Uchiha Itachi, Princess Tsunade's assigned guard." Anko was even more confused. Well who wouldn't be when Itachi's return was still top secret at the moment due to the war.

"Why haven't I heard of this before?" Anko asked again as her blindfold were taken off by Itachi and the rope she was tied in was slowly cut with a kunai. After Itachi was done he looked at her and said. "Because it's still top secret."

Anko who also looked at him, at his eyes answered "Oh, I see". While thinking 'too close! damn he's hot. Those are kind eyes for someone who was branded an S rank criminal.'

No fight happened and Anko obediently followed Itachi back to the base.

Somewhere in the battlefield far from where the fight between Naruto and the rest vs Tobi and the newly formed Juubi. 2 lights also rose up earlier who were part of the 4 figures Orochimaru sent earlier. Right now only 2 other figures remains.

The 4 figures were the sound four from Otogakure. During Orochimaru's hiding, he has entered 2 bodies from the 4 of them namely Jirobu and Sakon and Ukon. Sakon and Ukon are 2 heads on 1 body but that didn't stop Orochimaru from taking it over killing one of the head which was unnecessary.

That leaves us with Tayuya and Kidomaru at the moment.

"That was the signal, are you ready Tayuya?" the girl nodded although a bit scared. Although her Lord told her that she'll only loose her powers in these ceremony, she was skeptical about it since her two other teammates died during the said ceremony.

Kidomaru started weaving signs and gestured on Tayuya's curse mark for something to come out. And a huge snake did come out and in that snake's mouth came out Orochimaru himself.

Tayuya was relieved as she did felt her powers left her body when that snake came out and the curse mark also disappeared but she was still breathing and fine.

"Good Job Kidomaru, Tayuya. Where is it?" Orochimaru asked.

Kidomaru showed Orochimaru a Jar where an eye was inside.

"Good, Hold on to it. I will observe the battle for now. Join me " Orochimaru commanded as they walked to a higher terrain as they watched the Juubi trashed Naruto and the rest up until Madara showed and so did Minato who came along with the one who intrigues him.

[Kekekeke]

"You've shown Ito Kuro" Orochimaru continued to watch the show with Tayuya and Kidomaru by his side.

Final battlefield

"Sensei" Kakashi blurted out with a surprised face underneath his mask.

"So you've come sensei." Even Tobi greeted him. But quite differently.

"Obito, why? You have always wanted to be a Hokage. So why would you do this?" Minato asked full of worry.

"Because this world is a fake. Therefore I will destroy it and replace it with a real one. This world is a failure." Obito answered strongly. Someone disagreed though.

"Haven't you ever thought that maybe you're the failure?" everyone's attention was easily captured even Madara.

"The world has done nothing to you and it remain real no matter how much despair and pain you feel. It is only the shinobis in it that makes decisions both right and wrong. So if you're going to be someone who wants to destroy it. Then I'll be the one to protect it from someone like you." Kuro slowly walked in the center as all shinobi present listens to him.

"The Shinobi of this world has done nothing but wrong decisions. They don't deserve to be protected. And no matter how hard you struggle, people will always die because you're weak." Countered Obito as the Juubi's tails produced wooden twigs.

"Everyone makes mistakes. We can never take it back once it's done. No matter how insignificant, horrible, or unforgivable it is. But I will never forget those mistakes that I made, for they make me who I am today." Kuro took a scroll and started weaving signs.

"And in all my years being born in this world you deem a failure. No one has ever called me weak! Let me show you why. Summoning Jutsu.!" A huge smoke puffed in front of him. It was then immediately disperse by wind inside of it.

Everyone was looking with wide eyes and mouth agape. A huge red dragon flaunted it's wings as fire was escaping it's mouth. It roars towards the Juubi as the Juubi does the same.

[ AN: I'm sick. I hope I'm not infected. It's hard to type feeling like this. So General Pyron was finally summoned. How strong will he be against the ten tails? ]
