War

"Four… five people coming this way, one of them is my mother" Kohana said taking in a breath

"Are you okay?" Temari asked and Kohana shook her head

"Not even close, but I'll take her on. My mother was most proficient in dealing jutsu not to mention the clans kekkei genkai. Not exactly the meeting I was imagining, but…" Kohana said, before jumping up to Gaara,

"Hey. I'll take on my mother. She's with the group approaching.

"Alright." Gaara agreed

"You're from different ninja villages, working together?" Kushina said as she landed in the middle with Temaris group surrounding her, Gaara and Onoki having gone after the 2nd Tsuchikage. Half of the forces surrounding the 2nd Mizukage, with the other half surrounding the 2nd Raikage.

"Who is she?" Matsuri whispered to Yukata who shrugged

"Mom! We need to talk!" Kohana said jumping down in front of Temari, blocking Kushinas chakra chains with her own,

"K..Kanae, or is it Kohana? Look at you… how you've grown, how old are you now? You three were so little back then" Kushina asked

"We're 16. And I'm a jonin, Katsuo and Kanae are chunin, we've got friends, and eat lots of different foods but Katsuos favorite is ramen." Kohana said Kushina taking in the information a moment

"I'm sorry. We.. we left you alone in the world, to fend for yourselves and for that I am so… so sorry. I'm sorry we couldn't raise you or teach you anything." Kushina said seeming to be shocked as Kohana grabbed her in a hug,

"We thought you hated us for a long time. But… but we don't blame you, and we don't hate you mother. I think Katsuo is going to be the best orange hokage. Kanae earned the nickname of red flash and I'm… the scarlet tactiction… we were accepted in the village, and even have friends from different villages, everyone came together from the five villages to protect Katsuo as much as possible. You don't have to fight, you can be at piece, we'll be okay. Mother." Kohana said, Kushina hugging her back tightly, as her skim began to break apart to paper

"I'll look after Katsuo and Kanae, I promise. And I never go back on my word. When you get over to the other world tell dad I said hi, and that we'll be okay. Don't worry about us okay" Kohana said with a grin

"Kohana! The one in charge of the jutsu! Is Kabuto Yakushi!" Kushina said and Kohana nodded

"We'll stop him. And win the war. I swear we will" Kohana said before Kushina disappeared completely,

"There's another war… unsurprising." Tobirama putting his hand to the wall before the door blew open Kanae falling through as ey slid on the wood ground, three white zetsu surrounding eir, ey wore eir's bright blonde/ light red hair in two braids behind her head, wearing a black longsleeve cropped top paired with black shorts a shuriken holster on her right thigh though with a kunai pouch on her back waist, wearing black ninja boots on eir feet which reached just under Kanae's knees and a ninja headband on eir forehead. Going under a few strands of eir hair. Over eir longsleeve cropped shirt ey wore a dark red shortsleeve cloak, similar to the one Minato and Kohana wore, the only difference between eir's and Kohanas was the dark green climbing up the bottom and up the sleeves.

"Fine, lets play a game of catch. Your turn. Lightning style, chain lightning." She said moving her hands to make handsigns rapidly, the lightning encasing all three of the white zetsu at once, the three melting to puddles on the floor

"Kohana…" Sasuke said

"I know your just having a laugh but it's annoying. I'm Kanae. Sasuke what are you doing working with Orochimaru?" Kanae said

"He… honestly don't know." Sasuke said back,

"Great… well Madara and the tentail were both revived so choose your

battleground… for reference I am talking to the previous hokage… and dad… Sasuke all other forces, not sitting in a kage seat were ordered to battleground G to back up Katsuo with the tentail. Does… does anyone stay dead" She said mostly to herself as information was relied to her via a headpiece.

"What?" Sasuke said

"It seems we've uncovered the identity of the masked ninja. But from what I've heard he was dead dead. Deader than dead." She said

"The masked ninja? Madara?" Minato asked

"Obito Uchiha." She said and Minatos eyes widened

"To cut a long story short. He didn't work alone in the… erm… Kurama's attack on the leaf 16 years ago. He had an inside guy, said inside guy is dead. But he's resurrected Madara Uchiha, and the ten tail… using the previous jinchuriki. And the chakra they stole from Gaara, the Kazekage. His goal is to use the infinite tsukeyome to kill everyone in the world at once… oh sorry, for world peace." Kanae said using air qoutes around world peace,

"I could have done that too." Sasuke said and Kanae shrugged before jolting,

"Kohana's hurt. It's bad, we have to hurry." Kanae said

"How can you tell that from here?" Sasuke said and Kanae looked over

"Kohana's the science one, ask her. It's a triplet thing or twin thing or something I don't know. Stop wasting time." Kanae said

Kohana was deflecting one of the focused attacks from Neji, Hinata, and Katsuo, slicing through the bars effortlessly, before being hit with a speer going through her abdomen, blood ran from her chin as she coughed, before stumbling into Katsuo, her gray sleeveless crop baring a few tears near the bottom where the speer had pierced her abdomen, blood tricked onto her black skirt, before dripping off, mixing with the soiled ground her hand found its way to her injury as she looked first at Neji who stood in front of her, shock clear on her face, her black sleeves which hung loosly around her wrists and tighter around her upper arm, her blonde/light red hair was in two pigtails on either side of her head. The speer was then removed from her abdomen, still dripping in her blood

"Kohana!!!" Katsuo said jumping forwards as Kohana coughed once more, Katsuo catching her as she fell,

"We need to get the medical team over here! This injury's critical!" Katsuo

said, Katsuo having laid Kohana on the ground, her head in Neji's lap, as Katsuo tried to stop the bleeding with his own cloak,

"Kohana please come on, Neji help please…" Katsuo said and Katsuo coughed again, putting the hand not covered in blood on Katsuo's cheek, she smiled as she looked at him

"K--Katsuo… Kat, there's no time. So listen you idiot… Ne..ji and H *cough* inata were willing.. Were willing to die for you. To protect you.. But they need… to stick around… see you become the Hokage. You and Kanae… you're two halves of a whole idiot, make sure niether of you fall… into darkness. You have… a light, that draws people in. Makes them want… to count on you… so much so… that I think… you'll be.. The best Hokage, I'm sure of it… So chin up… you… hold more than one life in your hands… brother. Don't forget that." Kohana said before allowing her eyes slipped shut, before glazing over, her hand falling from where she'd been holding it against his cheek. Releasing her final breath.

"Kohana? Kohana!!" Katsuo said

"Pity. I was aiming for that black haired hyuga brat. But she works just as well. I'll never let a comrad die! Isn't that what you just said! Isn't it! Katsuo?!" Obito called from the top of the tentail

"No way…" Kiba said from beside Temari

"What is it?" She asked

"Kohana's scent. It's going stale." Kiba replied, Temari's eyes widening as did the other ninja surrounding them,

"If you join us Katsuo. You'll see your sister again." Obito said holding his hand out, Katsuo looking at his own hands that were covered in his sisters blood, Neji laying Kohana gently onto the ground as Hinata slapped Katsuo,

"She said you hold more than one life. Do you understand?" She asked and Katsuo nodded, as he stood with her, grabbing hold of Neji and Hinata's hands. Before he let go, having shared a piece of chakra with the two, a dark red cloak coating them as he removed his hands, Obito jumping off of the tentail, engaging Katsuo in a one on one battle, confused as to why he was still fighting. How could he fight, with his sister dead, he should be in shambles and just give up. It frustrated Obito to no end, he couldn't understand it. When he saw the love of his life kiss who he thought was his best friend, he turned his back on comrades, friends, and so on, now? Now his goal was to create a world where Rin loved him, where they were together, like it should be. They didn't even mourn him very long. He supposed that hurt more. Even as he deflected and dealt hits to the young man in front of him, as the two went around the battle field, Katsuo also deflecting attacks from the tentail and Madara as he fought him. Neji moved Kohana to the side of the battlefield, ensuring she'd be out of the way.

"You will not be forgotten, my friend. Thank you for your sacrifice." Neji said Hinata doing the same before engaging in battle once more, as Kohana always said 'I'll cry at the funeral', a saying that while she was told was unhealthy, was a necessary one in the current world of Shinobi.

"Kohana!!" Kanae said as she jumped next to her sister, Minato having blocked the tailed beast bomb from the allied forces, apologizing to Katsuo for being late. Kanae cried, holding Kohana's lifeless body, Kohana's arms falling and scrapping against the ground, as her head fell back, her eyes closed as her mouth falling open, her bloodstill stained on her chin as Kanae hugged her close. Her Sage cloak torn through the back, as blood dried on the material, her wound in her abdomen a gaping reminder of what took her life. Kanae's tears falling onto her face, and cascading down till they mixed with the dirtied ground. Kanae startling when a hand settled on her shoulder,

"Don't let her sacrifice be in vain." Neji said Kanae nodded, laying Kohana down gently,

"Four crimson ray formation." The four hokage stated creating a sealing barrier around the tentail, Hashirama promising to deal with Madara in a moment, after he dealt with the tentails alongside the other Hokage, and the allied shinobi force.

"My my, you are out of sorts, aren't you, Tsunade?" Orochimaru said looking at Tsunade who was currently separated down the middle, the woman looking shocked for a moment before asking for his help, which Orochimaru obliged, having opted to follow Sasuke instead, a boy so consumed by hatred having since changed his tone, after killing Orochimaru, which intrigued the man. As he and his team of Karin and Suigetsu. Sasuke and Jugo having gone with Kanae and the hokage.

"Well, since everyone's healed here, my job's done." Orochimaru said before rushing off with his team,

"I can catch you all up to speed. Sakura has summoned me on the battlefield." Katsuyu said

"And I can get us to the battlefield, conserve your chakra as much as possible, please." Gaara said and the other Kage nodded,

"How does it feel! Obito!" Kanae asked from the ground, as she stood on Gamakitchi's head next to Katsuo, the previous three hokage standing in front of Gamakitchi,

"What?" Obito asked,

"Rin sensei said all the time how much you hated war! Kakashi sensei too! 'In the ninja world those who disobey the rules are scum, but those who would betray a comrade, even for the sake of a mission. Are worse than scum' Didn't you say that?" Kanae said

"None of that matters to me now, I am going to create a perfect world. Everyone's perfect world, where there is no war, only peace, and where the dead live again." Obito said 'Obito…' Minato thought, thinking back to the boy he'd taught all those years ago, the laughing, so much like Katsuo. He'd been carefree, but… but he'd heard from Rin and Kakashi how he'd died, running onto Kakashi's hand, as his Chidori activated. So how was he alive.

"Get back lord forth, Saru!" Tobirama said and Minato jumped himself and Gamakitchi away, Katsuo, Kanae, and Sasuke on top of his head,

"What was it that Kohana said, 'I'll cry at the funeral, we have shit to do'?" Saya asked and Kanae laughed before nodding, jumping off of Gamakitchi,

"Mother! Mother, what is this place, it looks so pretty." Kohana said noting the stars surrounding the two, as they sat on a field. Kushina sitting in a white shortsleeve shirt with a tank style green sundress overtop, her light red hair sitting around her waist, as her violet eyes looked at Kohana. Kohana wore her Sage cloak, paired with her ninja gear, her headband around her forehead.

"Kohana? Oh! Oh Kohana my baby! What happened! It's too soon for you to be here." Kushina said as she ran up, hugging Kohana around the neck before moving to hold onto her shoulders,

"Obito and Madara aimed an attack at Katsuo, I deflected them, but I wasn't fast enough for the last one. But, we didn't have time for me to go into details before, please, I wish to tell you of my life, Won't you sit down and allow me the honor of doing so." Kohana said and Kushina laughed,

"You're so much like your father, alright, what mischief did you three cause, how was it growing in the leaf, do you have any crushes, did you have your first kiss, what was your favorite activity, what about your siblings?" Kushina asked, looking at her daughter, whose bright blue eyes could compete with the sky surrounding them, and Kushina found herself grinning as the two sat down in the grass.

"Okay, well, I've been in love with the Kazekage, Gaara, since we were kids, 12. He attacked our village under orders from the sand, but I could tell, he wasn't evil, or bad, or what everyone was saying. He was lost. He was alone, all alone, completely isolated. He had siblings an older sister and brother, but they were isolated from him too. After we fought, he was confused, because Katsuo and I we didn't fight for ourselves like he did, we fought for Sakura, Sai, Sasuke, Kanae, Shino, Kiba, Hinata, everyone that made sure we weren't alone. He's got dark red hair, teal eyes, and a tattoo in red kanji that spells love on the left side of his forehead. He's kind, and caring, and has such a big heart. He likes gardening, and is an amazing Shinobi. If I'm ever in trouble, and he can help I know he will. But when we fought, after we fought I mean, the first time, I confused him by healing his injuries. I just wish… I wish I could have healed the wound on his heart, ya know. I wonder if he loved me back" Kohana said looking out at the vast amount of stars invading the space

"I'll bet he did. So you healed your enemy?" She asked and Kohana looked over

"When I healed him he wasn't an enemy, just… lost, lonely. He needed a friend." Kohana said in response,

"I bet you'll see him again," Kushina said and Kohana sighed,

"You were always late when we needed you the most. How ironic that you were even late to save your own daughter. Minato Sensei. You may have died a hero but you're revealed to be a disgrace." Obito said, gloating over the group of Tobirama, Minato, Katsuo, Kanae, Sasuke, and Saya.

"Oi! You've got a big mouth! Considering you never became Hokage!" Kanae said before running forwards, undetectable to the eye, sage mode was evident around her eyes, as she ran forwards, completing signs for lightning style,

"Sage art! Lightning rush!" Kanae said lightning rained down from the sky, as it also came up from the ground, Kanae jumping in between the strikes of lightning, slicing Obito half a dozen times before jumping back, sliding on the ground, her hair moving in the wind as she slid back. Twirling the kunai before puting them in special sleeves below her kunai pouch.

"You've no right to talk ill of the Hokage. When you couldn't even become one." Katsuo said using a rasengan mixed with sage jutsu to deal a desisive blow on Obito, sending him crashing into the ground,

"Sage moves'll work!" Katsuo said as he jumped back over,

"What?" Sasuke said

"Nature energy." Kanae said,

"That doesn't explain.. How is that working against him?" Sasuke said

"Nature energy can only beat Nature energy, I think, so maybe that's why the other moves didn't work." Katsuo said

"My specialty Kunai are laced in wisteria posion, just the smallest cut is lethal. I gave him at least 10x that amount. Kohana was the one with medical know how, so I'm not sure exactly what it does." Kanae said

"You didn't test it out?" Sasuke asked

"I did… I just didn't pay attention when Kohana explained the more… internal side." Kanae said gesturing vaguely as Obito stood, panting,

"I think the poison should be circulating.. Well, shit. Those things can leak poison too, that's cheating" Kanae said

"Yeah so Kanae and Saya started dating after that, and Katsuo still hasn't figured out his feelings for Hinata, or her feelings for him for that matter. He's so clueless." Kohana said laughing behind her hand a moment,

"So wait, wait wait wait, back up, you… you three painted the hokage's faces?" Kushina said

"Well, yeah. It was Katsuo's idea, and Kanae got the stuff, I thought it'd be fun too. Everybody ignored us, we just wanted to be seen. Really seen." Kohana said before turning to Kushina

"Oh and jumping back to Gaara, did you know he made KAzekage at 16, how cool is that, I'm so proud of him, when we found out Katsuo was happy for him too, but also jealous cause he wanted to be hokage first, but I think it'll happen for him. Kiba was also trying for the hokage seat… but I think Katsuo's got a better chance. He works with his puppy partner, Akamaru. From the Inuzuka clan, and he's one of Hinata's team mates, the other one is Shino Abarame. He's really nice and funny too, he keeps giving Katsuo grief because I was the only one able to recognize him from our time away with pervy sage. He really goes all moody broody on him, 'Oh, so my speech pattern is the only way you'll recognize me. I thought we were comrades, the reason is, your sister had no issues recognizing me almost immediately.' He actually sounded like that too, of course, Kanae completely forgot his name, but she also forgot, Kiba, Hinata, Lee, and Neji's names, so Shino wasn't the only one." Kohana said laughing

"Oh and when Katsuo gets real serious about something, you know that walk that pervy… Jiraiya sensei does that makes him look like a crab?" Kohana said demonstrating a moment, Kushina laughed, before nodding, looking at her daughter,

"Katsuo does that?" Kushina asked and Kohana nodded, laughing,

"Kanae and I have both told him he looks ridiculous but he continues to do so, it's so funny. He does it sometimes as a joke, when one of us are sad or something it's really funny" Kohana said laughing behind her hand,

"In the beginning… We were alone… everywhere we went, we weren't wanted in the village and never went outside of it." Katsuo said into the psychic connection which was also connected to the four kage racing to the battlefield. Memories of he Kohana, and Kanae causing mischief in the village for the hopes of getting noticed, being kicked from shops and the like, watching Sasuke and Saya, as they walked into the forest, Katsuo and Kanae holding their hands out as Kohana watched behind them, her mouth hidden behind her hand, as she watched.

"We fought… so hard to get where we are." Katsuo continued, brief flashes of their training they'd done with Jiraiya, the fights they had up till the war. The fight with pain that demolished the village.

"We lost and damn near lost so many important people." Katsuo said as he finally stood, images of the 3rd hokage's funeral, Asuma in critical condition before later recovering, Jiraiya laughing with triple K, before he overlooked his body, Gaara's close call with death, before showing Kohana's final moments. The way she smiled even as she died. 'A world without smiles is a sad world indeed.' she'd said, her voice was soft and feathery, different from Kanae's in that way, but also similar to Minato's tone.

"I can't… I refuse to loose anymore and let everything we've done to get here, be for nothing!" Katsuo said jumping from his spot as he doned a tailed beast cloak, jumping beside Sasuke, who was using a Susano.

"Kanae I'm…" Minato said

"Don't make this awkward Dad." Kanae said, cutting Minato off,

"Rinne Rebirth.." Obito said casting it over the battlefield, white lights glowing from every crevice, bringing back Minato and Kushina as well. The jutsu was nearly complete, before black zetsu hijacked the jutsu,using it to bring back Madara as well.

"I'd hoped to hijack it sooner, but it couldn't be helped." he said, inside the afterlife world, Kohana began to glow a bright white, as did Kushina

"Mama, what's going on?" she asked,

"I told you, it's not your time, you'd better live out your love story, whether it's with Gaara or someone else and have so many other things to tell me. Like whether or not you have kids or get married, or if your favorite food changes, even if your favorite season changes, I look forwards to our next meeting." Kushina said

"I love you." Kohana said and Kushina said it back before she disappeared. When Kohana opened her eyes again, Hinata was standing over her, shocked as she used her byakugan to look at Kohana's life functions return to normal. Tears running past her eyes, as Tsunade ran over as well, having been called over by Hinata, tears also ran down her face

"Careful, granny, if you let Katsuo see you cry he'll know you have emotions." Kohana teased, as Tsunade rubbed her eyes,

"Ha, yeah… we wouldn't want that." She said before bringing Kohana up into a tight hug. Kohana freezing a moment before hugging her back,

"You know how scared you had everyone? You ever pull that shit again and you'll be on snake duty in the leaf" Tsunade said and Kohana nodded,

"I need to go help them," Kohana said standing, before looking around at the battlefield,

"Uh… I left for like 10 minutes, what the hell happened" she said noting the destruction,

"Obito and Madara, and the tentails happened." Tsunade said before catching her up to speed quickly,

"Right, I'm gonna go lend them a hand" Kohana said, sage mode already evident in her eyes. Before she ran forwards, moving her hands in rapid jutsu signage as she ran down the side of the cliff, dodging black zetsu's attacks as she went, before sliding in front of his face,

"Say cheese. Rasenflash" Kohana said the orb in her hand glowing brighter, before she hit him right in the face sending him tumbling back, Kohana moving the back of her cloak,

"Oh man… do you have any idea how hard this is gonna be to fix, I just got it too, come on don't you have anything to say, it was a perfectly good cloak, and now it's got a big gaping hole, I mean who does that? Kakashi Se… dad?" Kohana said clearly shocked, he was missing the reanimation bits, and looked to be alive,

"Hey, Kohana." Minato said breathing out a sigh, Kohana raised an eyebrow holding a kunai in either hand

"Ah, Wait wait wait! I'm on your side!" Minato said putting his arms out,

Kohana continued forwards, ignoring him for the moment, running past him, running up the wall of the cavern, jumping onto the sand that was slowly lowering,

"His tailed beast was extracted," Sakura explained, Kohana hummed, placing her hand over his forehead, medical ninjutsu glowing from her palm, using the Uzumaki clan technique to move his blood and chakra, stopping the start of complete organ failure.

"Obito is going to help. He made this mess he can fix it, problem is, black zetsu's attached himself to Obito on a cellular level, but he should be separated soon I hit him with Rasenflash, mixed with medical and sage jutsu, which affected both of their cells and is going to work by slicing their cells apart like a scalpel basically, from there with Obito's help we should be able to transfer the tailed beasts from his possession to Katsuo's, well not possession cause they aren't objects, but you know. How long have you been doing CPR?" Kohana asked,

"5 minutes. His heart stopped midway over here, how are you back?" Sakura asked

"Rinne Rebirth. Alright five minutes, at three minutes theres risk of brain and organ death, You look like you could use a break, I'll use the Uzumaki technique, it'll allow me to circulate his blood and oxygen as well as pump his heart, if you can continue rescue breaths. Dad, Kakashi sensei, Gaara, can you guys work on getting Obito back over here, he made this mess, he needs to clean it. I can sense Sasuke on the field as well, an enemy as well?" Kohana said the three nodding as Kohana helped Sakura with the medical ninjutsu so she wouldn't exhaust herself.

"No, he's helping… I know, I was surprised too." Gaara said as Kohana glanced over, raising an eyebrow,

"Can he be trusted. I'm not asking of Katsuo trusts him, he's an idiot. Sakura. He was your teammate. Based on your assessment." Kohana said

"For now… I think we can, but I worry for after the war is over." she said, as Kushina jumped down, as Madara did the same, Kohana catching Kushina up to speed before switching places with her, Minato standing in front of her, Obito behind him as well, helping to transfer the tailed beast power, Minato was ready to defend her, as Kohana stood in between Gaara and Kakashi.

"What could you hope to achieve against a god! You may have been revived

Kohana Uzumaki, but you are nothing compared to what I am now." Madara said

"Conceited asshole. If I didn't stand a chance against you, you wouldn't have killed me asshole!" She said, her hair raising from the force of her chakra as sage mode was evident around her eyes

"Kohana, what're planning to do?" Kakashi asked and Kohana grinned,

"I don't plan on dying… again. But I'm not standing back here." She said her voice was soft like a feather, light, before she sped off towards Madara. Using a mix of fire and wind style to stay in the the air, making wings of fire as she dodged Madara's hits, landing 5 consecutive hits on Madara. Keeping up with the man, as she blocked and dealed hits on her own.

"Sage art! Rasenerrang!" Kohana said as she slid back, before jumping away from Madara's attack, sending her attack out,

"She's keeping up with him… the five kage had a hard time doing so." Gaara said

"She's always had acute sensory abilities" Minato said not surprised, as Gai walked up, alongside Lee and Neji.

"It's time for the blue beast, to go red." Gai said Lee and Kakashi trying to talk him out of it. As Kohana slid back, blocking Madara's attacks,

"Fire style, toad oil bomb! Dragon flame!" She said hitting Madara with the oil and then fire, sending him back, through the battle field, picking up dust and debris as he went, before she jumped down in front of the group once more.

"I'm out, Sage mode lasts for ten minutes, for those of us who don't have a tailed beast cloak. I crushed his layrinyx, I'm pretty sure, and made several direct hits." Kohana said panting,

"Good to see you up and moving once more" Neji said and Kohana glanced over, giving a thumbs up, Katsuo jumping up a moment later, Sasuke also jumping over, the two going head to head with Madara. As Gaara hugged Kohana,

"I'm glad your okay" He said

"... I feel like more happened than what should've happened. For a long as they said I was gone…" Kohana said looking at Sasuke who fought alongside Katsuo, Kaguya Otsutsuki having been resurrected

"You guys handle the God I'll make sure things are okay over here" She said as the group ran forwards, being ducked into Kaguyas jutsu.

"Kohana, is that your name?" Tobirama asked as Kohana jumped up to the tree

root,

"Mhm. Your the second hokage Tobirama senju. Right… hold on" Kohana said, looking at the cocoons,

"Fused to the tree itself, they're in a sort of stasis while their chakra is drained… that's not great, hey! Old man 2nd! You tried to cut people down right, what was the result?" Kohana asked

"Yes I did, the trees bark grabbed them back almost immediately" He said back,

"Wait wait wait don't tell me this is the tsukuyomi.. where is it…" Kohana said as she stood upside down flipping through a book,

"Hey I found it! The infiniiahh woah woah" Kohana said before her chakra flow to her feet failed causing her to plummet, Tobirama moving quickly to catch her,

"Thanks.." She said, before passing her book over, Tobirama reading a Passage

"I see, so our only option is waiting" Tobirama said

"Yep, I got that book from geezer sage after I completed sage training, he says it'd be useful" She said,

"Kohana. It was the Rinne rebirth, right?" Hiruzen said

"Eh, no clue. I think the universe just decided I'm way too exciting to stay buried. After all someone's gotta make sure Katsuo doesn't die before he becomes hokage." Kohana said with a grin,

"Hey, old man 6paths, so your saying we have no choice but to wait for those two idiots to seal her again. Man, so lame" Kohana said as he nodded

"Where is Katsuo and Sasuke." Tobirama asked

"They were sucked through a temporal gate to another time space, with Kaguya. Sakura and Kakashi sensei were pulled through as well" Kohana said, from where she stood,

"Sasuke Uchiha and Katsuo Uzumaki are the reancarnations of my two sons Ashura and Indra. Ashura struggled learning ninjutsu but had more chakra than most. Indra had a gift for ninjutsu, and also possessed the first Sharingan. Indra was the older of the two and as such, everyone thought he'd be my heir. But when the time come to decide, I announced Ashura as my heir. This time, I've given equal parts to Sasuke and Katsuo, so they can work together to seal my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, away for good." Hagoromo said and Kohana hummed as did the hokage,

"How do we release the infinite Tsukuyomi?" Tobirama asked,

"Sasuke and Katsuo have to sign the ninjutsu sign, Rabbit, at the same time. And the jutsu will be released and everyone freed." He answered and Kohana raised an eyebrow

"An all powerful jutsu… taken down by a rabbit sign? Shouldn't it be more complicated?" Kohana asked

"It seems that way, but I researched this extensively, I'm positive the way to release this jutsu is by the two of them creating the rabbit sign at the same time." He answered

"You defeated a God and all you got was a stump. We need to make a teeshirt of that" Kanae said after the tsukuyomi was released, Kohana catching Gaara,

"Had to pay you back for when you caught me when we fought Kimimaru" She said before seeing him down, Gaara turning and hugging her

"Come on, Katsuo and Sasuke were the ones to stop the Tsukuyomi." She said, helping Lee and Gai down, Gaara and Kohana walking towards the groups with

their arms linked.

"So you're Gaara." Kushina said Kohana's face going red,

"Mom, Dad, this is my friend Gaara, Gaara, these are my parents." Kohana

said the groups heading back to their villages, it was the start of a new era. One of peace, that everyone hoped to continue through the generations.
