Chapter 41 - Prelude to War

15 days before the War

In the outskirts of the akatsuki hideout called mountain's graveyard stood on one side was tobi with his new look. Just like the one he did in canon, his eyes also has the sharingan on the left side and rinnegan on the right. While on the other side was one of the legendary Sanin. Still on his old attire during the invasion to konoha few years ago. He's offered an alliance with tobi under the condition that he will not be under him. Tobi of course didn't agree to this and prepared to fight. Then Orochimaru performed the seals for edo tensei.

Behind him were the summoned corpses of the former akatsuki members still inside an open coffin to let tobi know who were summoned. Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, Conan, Nagato and even the recently deceased kisame was part of it. This wasn't enough to sway Tobi so Orochimaru summoned another batch of corpses that was tagged II. Once the lids fell down showed the former 2nd Hokage of Konoha excluding the 1st who was sealed by the 3rd during the invasion due to the edo tensei not yet being perfected, Minato who's soul was inside the reapers belly when he sealed half of the kyuubi's chakra and Hiruzen who was still alive, saved by Kuro.

[AN: Should've let him died earlier.! tsk! Foolish MC.! Anyway just to clarify and why I said foolish was because Orochimaru already had their corpses before. Unlike in Canon, Orochimaru was able to get away and he still had his jutsu. You could say it was like a butterfly effect where in kuro saved the 3rd but because of this Orochimaru didn't lose his jutsu and the corpses of the previous Hokage weren't taken away by sarutobi.]

"I might actually need to sweat a lot but you still won't be enough for me even with the help of that bastard of a Hokage" tobi declared raring to fight Orochimaru.

[laugh] "Don't conclude it so fast just like that, Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei" Orochimaru responded with another summon. This time tobi's eyes were wide opened. He didn't have any choice but to accept the proposal. It was afterall Uchiha Madara's corpse that was summoned.

This event was being observed by Infiltration and Reconnaissance Party lead by anko which was deployed way earlier originally. They immediately tried to send back the information as it was evident to "Madara's" reaction that this is an important information but they failed to do so as they were all killed right there excluding anko unlike canon where all of them were captured and Muta Aburame manages to send intel back to HQ. Anko the only survivor looked at the three silhouettes that were responsible for his allies' demise. One was an orange spiked haired guy who laughs maniacally somehow his skin color was an unusual dark brown, the second one has white hair with blue at the tips but he is different from the other because he doesn't have any expression at all, while the last one was actually a girl with red hair and eye glasses who's eyes was so lifeless as if there's no hope for her ... It was Jugo, Suigetsu and Karin... This time they weren't recruited by sasuke. Also Orochimaru was alive and well. One could only imagine what they went through to be what they are right now.

Few days later

Somewhere on a certain isolated island. Naruto and Bee were being accompanied without knowing about the war and it's reason. Yamato who was part of the group was captured by a zombie deidara, sasori and kakuzu. Their original goal were the 2 jinchuuriki however they were met with resistance the moment they entered. Although some ninja from Iwagakure, kumogakure and konoha was present yamato was still captured by the trio with little difficulty. Naruto, Sasuke and bee weren't aware of this since they're already in the island's innermost part. Especially Naruto who was having a test against his true self.

While on a flying temple in a different dimension where time flows differently. Kuro was now holding Kubikiribōchō while breathing hard. His 30 katanas were all over the place, all broken due to frostfire from his opponent. And the one responsible was a dark blue phoenix exuding frostfire all over her body. With her sage chakra unfathomable for kuro to even measure. He now understand why someone like pyron would bow down in front of her. He was afterall a ******. And the common knowledge for such species is that they are powerful beyond imagination. Take fairytail for example. oops.

"Why did you have to break all of my katana? I had already adapted on how to use them along with Hiraishin you know." says kuro full of tears at his effort to order them in custom.

"Don't be ridiculous. You have actually been limiting yourself with those katanas. As I see it you simply left behind some form of chakra on each katana for you to be able to teleport to them. Pink could do better than you since she doesn't need to leave any mark at all and can teleport anywhere where her sense could cover or if she's been to that place already." countered Rylai.

"What??!!! Pink sensei knows Heraishin? how come I didn't know that? and how could she teleport anywhere if she didn't even left any mark? I don't understand. does her sense travel with the mark or something? How come she never told me of this?" ask kuro as he was confused.

"Sigh, because you didn't ask." says Rylai while plucking one of her crown feathers.

"Why don't you go and ask her yourself. Also bring these, it'll will help you integrate with those eyes and more. Come back when you're ready to use them" she handed him her feathers which kuro could somehow feel the vitality and sage chakra surging from it. Kuro accepted it and searched for pink.

10 days before the war

All the captured jinchuuriki corpses were standing after tobi. When they opened their eyes sharingan and rinnegan was showing on either side. Just like how pain used to have six bodies to use, he now have control over six bodies of the previous jinchuurikis...

Namely Yugito Nii, Yagura, Roshi, Han, Utakata, and Fuu.

Back in konoha a relationship between 2 Sanin was slowly forming as both of them were inside tsunade's room. It was a dream come true for Jiraiya as the woman he's always pursued finally took notice of him. They shared the night together as they---

[Author: Ow!! why did you hit me?

A'sBro: because you're a fool.! How will MC get tsunade now? And did you seriously just started an r-18 scene?

Author: I was but you stopped it anyway. MC is already moving on from her so I'm giving poor Jiraiya a chance since he's alive.

A'sBro: Who will you have as her girl now then?

Author: I have no idea yet ehehe :'P

A'sBro: Facepalmed]

Every hidden Village was busy preparing for war. Only this time, they are all under one banner which is the Shinobi Alliance.

[AN: it's actually Allied Shinobi Forces if you look into it but I prefer Shinobi Alliance.]

Flying Temple

KURO

It was a week ago when these eyes were implanted to me by pink sensei along with integrating Rylai's feather which I have to admit was so powerful enough that I don't have any side effects or pain when using these eyes. Furthermore, just like a normal Uchiha my eyes would go back to normal as if it originally belongs to me when I'm not using it. This was supposed to be because of pink sensei's sealing jutsu but I honestly don't feel like it is the effect of a sealing. This summon world must be my cheat or something. If I think about it hard enough I have benefited a lot from it over the years since I've been here.

When I first came to this world. I wouldn't have considered doing something like implanting eyes that aren't mine but. I will certainly not survive the upcoming war if I didn't do what I just did. I only have almost a month to get used to it. I need to get back before the war starts. Good thing time flows differently in here, a week outside is almost a month here. I wonder if they'll give me a leader position like kakashi and darui did in canon. Oh now that I think about it. Will the 3rd Hokage join? How about Jiraiya? what will he do? and of course Itachi. I wonder what will happen now since they are alive. Them being dead in canon had a reason. Itachi was the one to stop edo tensei and one of the stimulus for Sasuke's eyes' evolution to mangekyou, the 3rd was summoned along with the rest of the previous Hokage and together they assisted in the war especially on stopping obito when he became the jinchuuriki of the ten tails and finally Jiraiya was supposed to die in the hidden rain village. It was at that time naruto have felt tremendous pain and gain more strength. Now that I think about it again, it was at that time also when pain forced him to use nine tails that naruto met his father!!! Oh My God!!! Will things still work out in the end??!!!...

These were kuro's thoughts as he was preparing to go to Rylai to test shisui's eyes or shall we say his new sharingan eyes...

Meanwhile in connection to his last thought about Naruto's father.

"Naruto do it now!!!2x" shouts Minato and kushina as they held kurama back. Naruto used a giant rasengan to separate kurama from his chakra that was being pulled by Naruto's chakra. And just like in canon naruto was now clad in golden light chakra. Kurama was so angry at what Naruto did he started charging a bijuudama even though his form looks so skinny at the moment. Naruto then turned the seal on his belly and Kurama was sealed again. Minato and Kushina in a form of chakra said their good byes as a tear fell off Naruto's eyes. They have already talked a lot awhile ago when Naruto was still battling his true self.

3 days before the war

Konoha was preparing to assemble along with other villages.

Hokage Tower

"Where is he?!!!!" asked tsunade as she rubs her temples. Her usual green robe was now replaced by a white one with a senju clan symbol by the collar. On the back is the kanji word for Godaime Hokage or literally "Fifth Fire Shadow".

"I'm sure he'll be here in time. There's still 3 days before the war. Relax a bit" commented Jiraiya by the side as he rubs her shoulder to help her relax. Jiraiya was now wearing a dark green kimono and a red haori with a kanji symbol at the back for Toad Hermit/Sage. He's wearing a loose green pants and the wooden slipper he's always had but he no longer wears any forehead protector.

"Thanks dear, it's a good thing that you're here and not wandering the world anymore hmn?"

"Well as I have you in my life now. I feel like I already have the world so I don't think I need to wander around anymore" says Jiraiya as he smiled at tsunade while tsunade blushes upon hearing it.

Shizune by the side was feeling awkward along with itachi and the anbu members who were hiding as tsunade's personal guard.

"pfft-- ehem!!! So can I make my report now?" Kuro commented while holding back his laughter as he was reporting back and teleported inside the Hokage tower. He pretty much heard the conversation from tsunade shout.

"Kuro, it's good that you're finally here. You already have been assigned a position in the war." says tsunade as Jiraiya made some distance by the side and commented upon looking at him. "What happened to your swords?"

"I was taught that I didn't need them the hard way. So they're disposed of, permanently. " answers kuro feeling down.

"I don't even want to know how, seeing how you feel. But you have my sympathy kid" says Jiraiya upon seeing the young man's behaviour.

"Thanks Jiraiya sama"

"Alright enough! As I mentioned before you were already given a position. This was also due to you having learned the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. You were assigned as a Commander of the Back-up division, as the name of the division implies your division will be providing back up on each battlefield. Basically if any division needs help your Back-up division will immediately deploy a squadron or two to that said company since you can provide back up instantly anytime, anywhere. Be sure to leave your mark on each Division's Commander and Vice commander. You will only be given permission to participate directly in the war when the Supreme Leader of the Alliance himself enters the battlefield."

"Thanks Hokage sama. Is that everything?" kuro answers nonchalantly which surprised everyone present.

"You're not even surprised? glad? or feel anything at all about it?" asked tsunade curiously.

"Yeah kid. Why are you not the least glad? Is it not enough for you?" added Jiraiya

"Not exactly, I just want to go home for now and meet my parents. It's been a long time since I've trained and I haven't return home in between. Well then if you excuse me Hokage sama, Jiraiya sama." answered kuro as he bowed before leaving the room while walking. He forgot to use Hiraishin to go home as his mind busy thinking something else. Both tsunade and Jiraiya could only look at his back as he leaves them. 'Although I am moving on, I can't completely say I'm not hurt a little. But perhaps this is for the best' were kuro's thought as he smiled a little exiting the buiding and on the way home.

Ito Residence

"Mom!!! Dad!!! I'm home!" shouted kuro as he went inside their house. His mom immediately came and hug him tightly. Feeling his mother's embrace, kuro instantly smile by the warm feeling inside of him. Not a while later his father joined as they talked about his training this pas month or shall we say almost 4 months of training.

1 day before the War

Naruto learns the truth along with sasuke. With Iruka's hidden blessing they along with bee broke through the barriers on the island as they hurried to War hoping to be on time to participate.

Few moments before War

Everyone is already in different battlefields and base from both sides. Unlike Canon there are only 4 battlefields, 2 bases which belongs to the Shinobi Alliance and the Akatsuki respectively and one Medical Division post from the Shinobi Alliance. There are also some special division like Kuro's Back-up division, Anko's Infiltration and Reconnaissance Party

The northern part of the Land of Lightning, in order to prevent the Akatsuki from using the small gulf to infiltrate the area from Mountains' Graveyard is where the 1st division was deployed and lead by Darui as the 1st division commander. The First Division consists of mid-range fighters. They'll be facing a large number of white zetsu along with some edo tensei akatsuki members like kakuzu, kisame, Conan and Nagato excluding Deidara and Sasori. This will be called the Coast battlefield since it's easier to understand given the location.

The Forest battlefield which is on the border of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Frost, sealing a northerly path into the Land of Lightning is where the 2nd division was deployed and was lead by Kakashi as the 2nd division Commander which was different from Canon. The 2nd division features both close- and mid-range fighters with close-range having the greatest number than the latter. They'll be facing the main edo tensei group consisting of masters like Granny chiyo, Hanzo, Kimimaro(yeah he died due to sickness even though he didn't battle Gaara and Rock Lee), the seven swordsmen of the mist, and some low level Zombiefied ninjas through out the history.

The 3rd division was a special battle division and was lead by Mifune. They were strategically deployed into the northern part of the Land of Hot Water near the frontline where the surprise attack division will make contact with the enemy. They are to immediately aide once the battle starts. Kuro's back up division was planned not to be deployed in the early part of the war but as the one with the Hiraishin he will be responsible for bringing in the 3rd division to the start-point battlefield.

The Dessert battlefield with Gaara personally leading it along with Ohnoki is the 4th division. They'll be facing the edo tensei of some of the past Kages from each village. From Kumo was the 3rd Raikage A, from Kiri was the 2nd Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki, from Iwa was the 2nd Tsuchikage Mu, from Suna was the 4th Kazekage Rasa and finally from Konoha was the 2nd Hokage Senjuu Tobirama. However unlike the other enemies where most Edo tensei and white zetsu were at, the enemy's army surprisingly consists of live ninja's from the sound village and Orochimaru's experimented tools/humans. Uchiha Madara was not shown immediately and was kept as a hidden trump card since the unit that was sent by the Alliance failed to send back the intel, also they were all killed excluding Orochimaru's former student Anko Mitarashi.

Akatsuki is only composed of Tobi and Zetsu. Their primary military force is composed of 100,000 Zetsu clones created through a combination of the tailed beasts' chakra and Hashirama Senju's power. Orochimaru has also formed an alliance with Akatsuki, reincarnating a large number of once-famous and powerful shinobi to supplement the White Zetsu Army, including several former members of Akatsuki and previous Kages from every hidden village. Orochimaru also has the sound village ninjas and his human experiments from various hideouts he's created.

The Base

The Alliance's base is where the Supreme Leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces A is along with Tsunade and the rest of the characters in Canon including Kuro who was sitting quietly. 'It's about to begin, Is my preparation enough? Will I survive this? I don't know anymore. Some events are definitely different from what's originally supposed to happen. I just hope that Mom and Dad will e okay. Hiruzen's there so there shouldn't be a problem.' were the thoughts flowing in his mind. While everyone else are busy preparing since the Surprise Attack Department have started to move. His very own back up division were waiting patiently outside the building of the base. His unit is composed of long range fighters as they are back up which will usually cover fire for their allies who needs it.

The feudal Lords were hidden the same way in the original version of the story while the Mizukage and Choujuro guarding the fakes as they will face Jugo, Suigetsu and Karin. Black Zetsu is hidden but near them. Orochimaru is on a cave together with tobi who then sensed Naruto and Bee's chakra coming in. He plans to intercept and capture them together with the 6 Jinchuuriki corpses. And the War begins...
