Back to Chris.

This alien figure is scary. Even when I teleport to different parts of the woods, he catches up to me in seconds.

His speed is already terrifying, but it’s strength and defense are something that not even I would mess with.

And just as I thought that things couldn’t get any worse, they did.

While I was busy fighting the alien, a yellow flash came to attack me from behind.

All my focus was on the alien, so I didn’t expect someone to attack me from behind.

Then once again, the yellow flash disappeared from my sight, and was ready to attack me again.

Although I couldn’t see its figure because of his insane speed, but I knew that there was only one man that could use that technique.

Minato Namikaze.

He only had strict orders to attack me, so he didn’t even bother attacking the alien. So he used the alien to his advantage, and attacked me while I fought it.

The alien only seemed to attack me because I had a Reí. I still don’t know what that is.

They were both fast. While I was also fast, but not as fast as them.

And just when they were centimeters in front of me, I stopped time and made an hasty retreat.

I need to use my time wisely, to formulate a plan to stop them both.

Remembering back, Itachi could suppress three of those aliens with a powerful force. It looked like they were weighted down by a strong gravitational pull.

...Ding! That’s it. I know how to stop them both.

My time Kekkei Genkai only works for ten seconds. When the time was up, they immediately charged at me at an insane speed.

Once again, I begin running in circles so I could plant more seals around the forest.

I even used a bit of my plant energy, to stall them with roots and such. Although it proved ineffective, it could still slow them down by several seconds.

Back to Sasori.

As Sarutobi and Hina kept fighting Sasori’s puppets, they were doing all right.

Hina alone already destroyed 100 of his puppets. She could have destroyed more, but the four Kages are giving her a hard time as well.

Sarutobi was weak when compared to Hina, so he could only give her support from the sides.

Sasori then extended both his hands, and aimed it specifically for Hina. Hina is stronger than the current Hokage, so he needs to get rid of her first.

Then in the middle of his palms, metal tubes appeared, then they fired a strong fire.

Sasori has four strong scrolls in his back. He had already used one, it was used to summon his 300 puppets.

Sasori is also a master fuinjutsu, so its normal for him to possess several strong fuinjutsu scrolls on him.

And right now, he just used another scroll, which could make fire shoot out from his palms.

When the fire was headed for Hina, she used her Hyuuga move to rotate at an extremely fast pace. She used it to cancel out the fire.

Sasori used up his second scroll, then immediately used the third scroll on his back.

The third scroll made a bunch of compressed water shoot out from his palms at an extreme speed.

Don’t underestimate this water. Because it is under so much pressure, it can even cut through rock as if it were paper.

Hina sensed that something terrible was coming, so she dodged his incoming attack.

Then she threw a bunch of smoke bombs to cover the entire field of smoke. Hopefully this way, Sasori’s field of vision would be blocked, and he can’t aim his weapons to Hina anymore.

Although Sasori’s field of vision was blocked by a bunch of smoke, that still didn’t stop him from shooting his compressed water at the smoke blindly.

The compressed water went at an incredible speed, that it made the smoke clear out completely.

When the smoke cleared, his Kazekage puppets were within the smoke, they were caught up within Sasori’s attack.

So they were made into several pieces, and fell apart.

“Damn!” (Sasori)

He didn’t stop to think about his two Kazekages within the smoke. Now they were both destroyed.

Hina hid under a steep hole. The hole wasn’t made from her fight right now, it was already there when she arrived. She guesses that it was the cause when the Hokage has his fight earlier.

Speaking of the Hokage. Where is he?

Hina turned to see where he went, and he was on the ground not too far from her, and he was bleeding.

The Hokage was caught in Sasori’s attack, and as a result, his right arm got cut off cleanly.

“Dammit!” (Sarutobi) said in a painful manner. He used basic medical ninjutsu to stop the bleeding, this way he can still fight.

“Lord Hokage!” (Hina) said as she went to attend the injured Hokage.

“I’m fine! Just be on guard.” (Sarutobi) said. Although the two Kazekages were destroyed, they still had to deal with the two ex-Hokages.

“Hm!” (Hina) understood what he meant, and was ready for any attack.

Sasori lowered down his hands. He already used 3 out of four of his four scrolls. Nobody but him knows what hs fourth scroll does, but he won’t use it unless he truly needs it.

Then Sasori took off his Akatsuki clothes, then it revealed his wooden body, made out of pure wood.

“It’s been a long time, since I’ve used myself.” (Sasori) said with no trace of emotion in his words.

Back to Naruto.

Shukaku was a literal pain in the ass. His offence is as terrifying as his defence, and not matter how many times they hit him, he always manages to get up.

The three were getting tired from this fight, and it looks like Shukaku is tired as well .

‘Kurama! Any ideas on how we can beat him?' (Naruto) responded telepathically to Kurama.

“You need to hit his stomach, that is where the kid is located. If you manage to hit the body with enough force, then the huge beast shall fall. But there is a catch.” (Kurama)

“What catch?” (Naruto)

“You need to gather enough chakra on a single attack, and hit him in the center of the stomach. You need to find out a way to hit him in the stomach.” (Kurama)

“I think I might have an idea.” (Naruto)

Now that Naruto knows how to defeat Shukaku, he went to tell the girls of his plan.

“Luna, Kat. I have an idea to take him down.” (Naruto)

“How Naruto?!” (Luna) at this point, any plan is good to them, it's better than to fight him head on like this.

“We need to do this.” (Naruto) then told him his wild plan to take Shukaku down.

The girls nodded at Naruto’s plan. Although it seemed risky, it was worth a shot.

“KILL!” (Shukaku) once again attacked the trio while they were discussing their plan.

They all dodged his attack.

Luna then went beside Shukaku, to distract him.

Shukaku saw Luna, then attacked her with his giant metal claw.

Luna jumped out of the way, then threw her scythe to Shukaku.

Shukaku almost got hit by her scythe, but at the cost of dodging it, his entire right arm was cut off.

This kind of wound is nothing to Shukaku, as it could regrow another one in seconds.

But then his whole body was entangled in thick roots. He couldn’t move at all.

Kat used her wood style to hold down Shukaku for a few seconds. Now even his other was hand caught in Kat’s entanglement. He couldn’t retaliate even if he wanted too.

Kat knew that this would work, because Chris once told her about the story of how Hashirama Senju, fought Madara Uchiha to the death.

If her Kekkei Genkai could even hold down the nine-tails, the strongest out of all the tailed beasts, then it can surely hold down Shukaku, the weakest of the tailed beasts.

“Let me take it from here.” (Naruto)

While the girls were doing their part. Naruto used this time to gather a bunch of chakra in his palm.

It was the rasengan, but it was different. It didn’t had its usual blue colour, it was red and yellow.

A few weeks ago when he and Jiraiya were looking for Tsunade, he started experimenting his new chakra, with his other moves.

As a result, his rasengan was more powerful than it ever was before.

“Take this! Demon-beast style! ANGRY RASENGAN!!!” (Naruto)

Naruto jumped high, and aimed his attack it straight for Shukaku.

Although Shukaku was immobile, its tail wasn’t binded down by Kat’s wood.

When Naruto got close enough, Shukaku sent his tail to pierce Naruto's real body.

Naruto didn’t have a chance to dodge or block, and Kat couldn’t get her wood to block the attack in time.

Luna however reacted quickly, thanks to her Sharingan powers.

Luna quickly activated her chakra negate, and Shukaku’s tail was gone.

Shukaku was made from chakra, so Luna could easily negate his tail.

But here’s the catch, there is a limit to how much chakra Luna can negate. Meaning that the stronger the attack, the more damage her eyes take.

When she blocked Chris’s chakra, her eyes felt a terrible pain, but she was so angry at Danzo at that time, than she didn’t care. It was already a wonder how she didn’t go blind at that time.

When Luna made Shukaku’s tail disappear, she started crying bloody tears, and went blind. Her field of vision was now blurry.

Naruto saw that the tail disappear just before it impaled his body, then his rasengan successfully made contact with Shukaku.

Gaara’s body was sent back far away, then his back hit a thick tree. Gaara fainted on the spot, his body dropped to the ground.

“We… we did it.” (Kat) she couldn’t believe that they had just taken down that monster.

“Good… now we can rest.” (Naruto)

His Bijuu mode finally gave in, then his body dropped to the ground on his back. It felt great to rest again.

Luna could hear them, then lied on the ground as well. She just used up all of her chakra, so she was dead tired too.

Kat still had a bit of energy left on her, but she still joined her friends, and laid on her back.

“When this is over, let’s all get together and eat at Ichiraku's.” (Naruto)

“Only if you’re paying.” (Kat)

“I… only have a coupon for me. Heh.” (Naruto) laughed a bit, as he enjoyed seeing the blue sky.

Luna didn’t say anything, and just laid there. She wasn’t exaggerating because she had gone blind, because Chris can heal her with his Kekkei Genkai.

It’s great relying on a person like him, and Naruto and Kat as well, they are all her family, related or not.

Sasuke on the side, couldn’t help but be astonished at the chaotic event that just took place.

Even he is aware of his own strength, and he could never compare to any of them. Maybe his brother can be compared to them.

But how did they all get strong?

Luna was always weak and timid minded.

Kat was a nobody, until she can use her awesome wood Kekkei Genkai.

Naruto was the worst in his class, but he is actually so strong.

These three were different people, but the only thing they had in common was that they had the same Sensei.

Chris Walker.

He will never understand how someone like him, someone the same age as him, someone who doesn't come from a prestigious, someone who doesn't have good looks, can be better at everything than him.

There is no way, that he can ever compete with him.

“How… can I get stronger?'” (Sasuke) said as a bit of rage could be seen on his eyes.

At first, his goal was to get power and kill Itachi. And when that changed, he decided to get stronger to protect his sister, but that didn't work out either.

But no matter how much he trains, he will always be weaker than them. He could never match up to them.

But now, he has a new goal, to find his true meaning. He thought that gaining power would solve all his problems, and if it can, then how can he get enough power fast.

Even though Kakashi has taught him the Chidori, it's still far from enough.

Then he heard a rustling noise coming not too far away from where he stood.

He turned, and with his sharingan eyes, he was able to tell two people were headed this way.

They were Kankuro, and Temari. They came here to rescue their brother.

They still had yet to realize that their dad was an imposter all along. Nobody knows how long Sasori was pretending to be the Kazekage.

Before they could get to Gaara, Sasuke stood in front of them, blocking their path.

He only stopped them for two reasons. So they can tell him how Gaara got that power, and to put them in jail.

They just attacked his village, so how can he let them go that easily?

“Temari! I'll take care of him, you get Gaara and lea-” (Kankuro) was interrupted when Sasuke used his Genjutsu on him.

“What are you-” (Temari)

Before she could finish her sentence, Sasuke sneaked up behind her and hit her nape. She fell unconscious shortly after.

Sasuke is still an Uchiha, and they are stronger than most people.

Sasuke then told Kankuro.

“You will tell me what the hell that thing is?” (Sasuke)

He was referring to metal Shukaku

When cast upon a Genjutsu, the user can make the victim spell out their secrets. This was one of the interrogation techniques the Uchihas used.

“What you just saw there, they call it a tailed beast. They are nine of them…” (Kankuro) and so, he told Sasuke everything he needed to know.

Back to Hina.

All of Sasori’s puppets were destroyed, except Sasori himself. Hashirama and Tobirama.

These three are without the strongest of the three hundred puppets.

After a hard fought battle, Hina destroyed all of the puppets.

She first started with Tobirama, who was the weakest out of all of them.

She had to get rid of them one by one, that way the pressure would be lessened on her.

Even when the Hokage had one arm, he was still able to use Ninjutsus with just one arm. Thanks to him, they were able to destroy Tobirama, and then Hashirama.

They made sure to turn the puppet into meat paste. Hina knew that Sasori could still fix them with just his chakra threads alone.

In order to make sure that doesn't happen, she would use her fists to turn all of those puppets into meat paste

Of course, this was a bit hard for the Hokage, because now Tobirama and Hashirama won't have a proper body to be buried in.

Sasori was now just a head. The only reason why he is still alive, was because of the core he installed on his body. As long as it isn't destroyed, he would continue to live.

Hina and the Hokage couldn't help but take a small break. Fighting four Kages, an S-ranked criminal, and almost 300 puppets can make anyone tired.

With her Hyuuga eyes, she was able to tell that Sasori’s life depended on that core. So instead of destroying it, why not keep him alive and bodyless to interrogate him.

They could get some valuable information out of him.

“You are truly a person of great capabilities, Hyuuga. It almost shames me that I tried to kill you about a year ago.” (Sasori)

Even with his body gone, he lacked the feeling of being alive. Now that his body is made out of wood, he can't feel anything, not even pain or any type of emotions.

“Save it! You have a lot to talk about to the interrogator.” (Hina) said. She doesn't like that man at all. Someone who disrespects the dead like that, doesn't deserve her sympathy.

“Even so, I have nothing to talk about.” (Sasori)

“I'm sure you'll be saying something very different, once you go to the interrogation unit.” (Hokage)

“I don't have any type of information that you will find useful. And even if I did tell you, you won't tell anybody else.” (Sasori)

“What do you mean by that?” (Hina) said a bit confused. What did he mean by that? Does he think that we are willing to keep a secret with a criminal?

“Ever heard of the saying ‘dead men tell no tales’ well, that is indeed true.” (Sasori)

Then using the limbs of the Kazekages that he accidentally destroyed earlier, he activated his fourth and final scroll.

They took a second to react to what Sasori said, then reacted to it really quickly.

“Don't bother. You can't even escape if you wanted to. My fourth scroll will make every single of my puppets explode, and since there are about 300 puppets here, each one them has a super explosive seal, even you, Hina Hyuuga, won't be able to survive this blast.” (Sasori)

Indeed, all of his puppets have an explosion seal on it.

Normally, one seal is kinda dangerous. But imagine 300. The chaos that it would create is terrible to anyone within the range.

Since the fight took place in the coliseum, it is pretty vacant and no civilians are within a range to get caught in the explosion.

Hina and the Hokage had forgotten about the Kazekages. They had turned every single puppet into a meat paste, that they had forgotten about the two that Sasori destroyed earlier by accident.

Of course, he was just a head, so how can he control chakra threads without any fingers?

Well that's simple, his tongue. Sasori is a puppet, so there wasn't a need for him to have a tongue, unless if it was used for an attack.

After seeing that the only two puppets that were somewhat intact, he concentrated all of his remaining chakra to the tip of his tongue.

The chakra threads were so thin, that they were practically invisible.

Controlling a puppet with the tongue is impossible for a human, but not to a freak puppet like Sasori.

The Hokage knew that they wouldn't survive this blast, but Hina can survive.

He turned to her and said.

“Take care of the village for me.” (Hokage) said very sternly.

“What do you mean?” (Hina) said a bit perplexed, then realized what he meant.

Before she had a chance to speak, the Hokage already cast a ninjutsu with his one hand.

“HIDING LIKE A MOLE: EARTH JUTSU!” (Hokage) said, then a hole appeared underneath Hina Hyuuga.

Hina didn't expect the Hokage to sacrifice himself for her, then she fell down the hole.

If the Hokage had enough chakra, or both of his arms, then he would have made the hole big enough for the both of them to survive, but he only possessed enough chakra for one person to barley fit in a hole.

“Wait! NO!” (Hina) then the hole closed, and an explosion occurred.

The explosion was so strong, that people who were unfortunate enough to have been near it, were temporarily blinded by the light it emitted.

And that was the end of the third Hokage.

Even when they had a plan to counterattack Orochimaru, even when they were prepared, the Hokage still ended up dying for the leaf village.
