章 145: War

Hiro was called to another fucking meeting with the Kages. A took Naruto to train with Killer B on controlling his Tailed beast. Hiro said "I will be in charge of the Alliance. Naruto, pack up your stuff and go with the Raikage. Yamato, you're going with him."

Onoki said "Hm? Why you?" Hiro sneered "Because I said so and I'm stronger than you, ya damn old man." he had already smacked all the other Kages with the Jutsu scroll and raided the Land of Iron's libraries.

He sent Shadow clones to the rest of the Lands to grab all their jutsus as well. They already came back, that was like a week ago.

Onoki choked and said "What did you say, ya damn brat!" Hiro mocked him "Ya dAmN BrAt!" Onoki almost coughed up blood and Gaara sighed "Focus please." Hiro chuckled and got serious saying "My ninja sent me the info, 100,000 strong enemy forces with special ninja's stronger than the rest."

The rest got serious and Hiro added "My information is 100% true, but we should prepare for more just in case. I believe that arranging for 300,000 strong army is the correct decision." Mei said "300,000?!"

Hiro nodded saying "Over estimating your enemy will only help you in the long run. I have another piece of news from my own investigation." they all got serious and Hiro continued "There's a 99% chance that the ninja from various villages will be 'brought back to life'. Kabuto, Orochimaru's previous right hand and potential successor is capable of using Edo Tensei. I wouldn't be surprised if previous Kages and dead enemies were brought back using the technique."

The Kages were silent and Onoki said "Isn't this good? They won't attack.." Hiro explained "Edo Tensei give full control over the summoned reincarnations, basically even if they don't want to fight, they will have to. Even if it was a lover or child, they will attack without hesitation."

The rest were somber and Hiro added "It's fine, just prepare for anything." the rest nodded and left, going to prepare, Naruto and Yamato left with A to go to the island for his training/confinement. Hiro went back to the village and resumed operations, telling Tsunade to hurry up with the medical ninjas.

She said she was going as fast as she could, but Hiro told her to hurry up again.

Time passed slowly

Hiro started sending out Ninja to the battlefield as the war had started. Sakura led the medical ninja on the battlefield and Isabella went out with the others, while Zerotwo stayed at home with Yami and Eri.

Hiro and Zerotwo were not worried about Isabella's safety at all, she was plenty strong already and she had magic just in case anyway.

All the ninjas were dispatched and Hiro left Shadow Clones in all their shadows to monitor the war and it's progress.

A while later

Hiro shot into his shadow and appeared behind Kakashi, who was standing in front of the 7 swordsmen of the mist. Hiro watched as 4 of them got their swords, he flashed and became invisible before ripping the swords out of their arms and keeping them.

He now had them all, he grinned to himself and returned to the village.

Kakashi looked at the sudden disappearance of the swords and knew exactly what happened, he chuckled and muttered "What a greedy guy..." he looked at the rest and said "Something went wrong! Attack!"

The extremely confused 7 swordsmen were attacked by the allied forces and a fight occurred, though they were good ninja, without their swords they were pretty much better cannon fodder.

Hiro returned home and took out the 4 swords, whistling. Samehada ran over and ate the 4 swords.

Samehada's scales got the explosion tag symbols and thin needle 'hairs' sprouted over his body, giving him the look of a sleek coat. One of his ear tips sharpened into an axe-like end, while the other tip turned into a hammer-like end.

Samehada's entire body gleamed and became sharper while lightning crackled around his dragon like horns. He sat down and barked, sticking his tongue out and panting, wagging his tail and looking at Hiro as if to ask if he had anymore.

There was an explosion tag symbol on his tongue and the drool that fell down made little explosions on the floor. Hiro pet Samehada and said "No more. You ate them all." he was a bit shocked, Samehada was surprisingly soft! Samehada wilted and Yami jumped on his back, hugging his neck and saying "Fluffy doggy!"

Samehada forgot about it and started running around again, Hiro smiled and Zerotwo rolled her eyes saying "You're giving him a weapon dog." Hiro chuckled and said "It's cute, no? Look how happy he is. He's even saying new words!" Zerotwo giggled and smiled, watching Yami run around with Eri sitting on the couch watching cartoons.

The day passed

Hiro secretly saved every single Konoha ninja from their deaths with his shadow clones, pulling them out of the way by manipulating their shadows with his shadow clones. He narrowed his eyes as they survived. If he wanted Konoha to become the 1st Ninja village, the others would have to be thinned out.

Having only ninja from the other villages die while Konoha had no causalities, only injuries was a good start. Plus, Sakura was there with the Medical ninja. She was easily one of the strongest people on that Battlefield anyway.

The damage to the other villages weren't as severe as Hiro thought they would be. It seemed his own Ninja were helping them, he made them stronger anyway, and they had more capable people. Hiro had Itachi and the rest of the Uchihas wear Oni masks with hoodies.

He didn't want them to be exposed as he would be heavily questioned, even if he wasn't, it wasn't the right time. He was preparing a big surprise.

Plan: Weaken the other villages, wasn't going as well as Hiro hoped.

It was kinda making him angry. The Konoha ninja were saving the other villages' ninja, while Hiro was saving the Konoha ninja. Hiro needed to restructure his plans if he wanted it to work.

He pulled Tsunade back from the front lines and tasked her to the Medical bay, leaving another Kage level Ninja in her place. He explained to the rest that her specialty was healing, not fighting. The more wounded there were, the more healing hands they needed.

The other Kages were fine with this as it proved to be a good decision, the wounded were being healed faster and sent back out to the battlefield.

Hiro looked out to the battlefield and Madara himself appeared. Hiro clicked his time and muttered "He's not strong enough yet..." he went with the other Kages to fight Madara, but he left a shadow clone there instead of his real self.

Hiro himself stayed in the HQ and oversaw all the battlefields by himself as the Kages started fighting Madara, while his clone held back heavily, showing the power that was just a little bit stronger than A.

His clone 'took a brutal hit' and was 'incapacitated' putting himself out of the fight as a giant Meteorite came crashing down. Hiro clicked his tongue and turned invisible before flashing over to the meteor and holding it up, the Meteorite stopped dead in it's tracks and started crumbling into nothing as another one appeared.

Hiro crumbled the second one all the same before disappearing back to the HQ and watching the battlefields again. He had no choice to stop them, there were Konoha ninja there. He wasn't going to pull a 'beat 1000 lose 800' strategy, he needed and wanted his own ninja to live.

Hiro monitored everything and manipulated the battlefield by himself, watching as Naruto had his moment with the Tailed Beasts, while Itachi went to Kabuto to stop the Edo Tensei, and Madara beat the Kages easily.

Hiro hummed to himself and waited for a while, watching everything unfold. He was so close. Madara would soon get everything after the Ten-Tails was awakened. Just a little bit longer. He did nothing and watched as Orochimaru was revived and the Ten-Tails came back into being.

Everyone started fighting the Ten Tails and Hiro flashed, slapping the attack from the Ten-Tails away and saving Neji's life. He looked behind him at Neji, Hinata, and Naruto before saying "Dying uselessly isn't your goal, Neji."

Neji said "Hokage-sama!" Hiro looked at the Ten-tails and said "Don't throw your life away because of a single mark on your forehead." before disappearing again. Neji looked down and Naruto smiled saying "Get up, Neji. We're still in this." Neji nodded and got up, smiling as he got ready to continue fighting.
