"Fellow Hokage, lets go." Hashirama said. Minato activated Nine tails chakra mode making Inora drop her jaw in astonishment. "Please Lord Second and Lord Third, stand in front of me." Minato said. "Have you already placed your markers?" Hiruzen asked. "I have. Inora gave me her kunais." Minato replied. It appears you are quick at striking too." Tobirama said and the three of them vanished.

"Ninja art: 4 crimson ray formation."

A red barrier was formed around the ten tails. "And I think I am going to add on Sage art: Gracious diety gates, ten seals." Hashirama said trapping the beast in place. "Now it wont be able to move around easily." Hashirama announced.

Just when he said them someone joined the party landing in front of Naruto. "You sure took your time getting here Sasuke." Naruto said with a small smile. "Sasuke?" Sakura said completely stunned which caught the attention of others. "Sasuke.. you.." Ino ran towards him only to be stopped by Shikamaru and Choji. "Ino stop, he is still an enemy." The Nara warned. "Yeah Ino, keep your distance." Choji said.

"You guys are still annoying as ever." Sasuke said nonchalantly. "Why the hell are you here you bastard?" Kiba asked angrily with Akamaru barking at the new comer. Everybody was still in shock but their eyes popped out of the socket once they saw Inora hug Sasuke. "I am glad you are here." She said with a smile while Sasuke was kinda surprised by the sudden hug but his face held no expression. "How is he?" He asked looking at the redhead. "He is fine. Nothing a few days rest cant cure." She replied.

"What are you doing here Sasuke?" Sakura asked still not being able to believe whats happening. "A whole lot has happened but I decided to protect the Hidden leaf village now. Then, I will become the Hokage." Sasuke said.

"........."

"........"

"Long time no see rogue ninja. You cant come back suddenly and crack lame jokes. Do you even get what it means to be Hokage?" Kiba shouted at the Uchiha's absurd statement. "I dont know everything thats happened to you but thats just an impossibility. I mean do you even know what you are saying?" Shikamaru added. "Do you really believe we forgot what you have done?" Neji asked.

"I know you didnt. But it doesnt really matter what any of you think of me, the preivous Kage caused these circumstances so I will become Hokage and change the village." Sasuke said. Inora chuckled and ruffled his hair knowing very well that the young Uchiha was upto something. "We will decide the next Hokage once the war is over." She said marking Sasuke with her jutsu formula while Naruto walked and stood beside Sasuke. "I am going to be the one who will become Hokage." The blonde said with a smirk.

"It does please me to see you guys so infatuated in becoming the Hokage but speed it up. Start infusing chakra, we will take down ten tails with an all out attack." Hashirama said. Damn he looks more handsome in his Sage mode.

"Thanks for healing me Sakura. Now its your turn to get some rest. Lets go Sasuke." Naruto said and left with the Uchiha. Sakura joined them immediately. "You think I am some weak woman who cant keep up with you? I am almost there. I will be able to put my true power in a little bit. I am a part of team seven too and a student of a legendary Sannin." Sakura said with so much fire in her eyes.

"Yeah yeah. All three of you are trained by a Sannin. And I was trained by 2 Sannins. But guess what, we are in the middle of a fucking war. So stop chit chatting and get to work." Inora said joining the three. "Alright. Team 7 is back in action. Lets go." Naruto said.

"Just hold up." Hashirama said making them pause. The Ten tails was launching another of its massive beast bombs. But the barrier held it together making everyone look at awe. Hasirama then created wood clones that created opening in the barriers from all the sides for letting everyone go and attack the ten tails. "I am not done. Sage art: Gracious diety gates. Head seal." Lord First said trapping its head.

Everybody ran inside the barrier but the ten tails created weird looking monsters from itself to stop the others from reaching it. There were so many of them and some of them were huge. Inora stopped running as soon as she saw those things and concentrated on gathering Nature energy. Sakura managed to achieve the Byakugou seal and team 7 worked with their backs together destroying those monsters. Sai joined them too.

Those monsters were huge and many were struggling. Inora switched to sage mode and created a few clones. "Guys. Get ready to reach the main thing, I will handle those monsters. Make sure to stay out of range." Inora said to team 7 creating a mini rasengan in her hands. Her clones also did the same thing from various directions. "Lord First, keep the others out of range." Inora's clone said to one of Hashirama's wooden clones.

"Lightning style: Rasenexplosion."

All her clones launched at the same time while team 7 did the Summoning jutsu. A massive blast took out most of those huge monsters allowing Naruto and Sasuke to reach the Ten tails.

"That was amazing!" Hashirama's clone exclaimed making Inora's clone blush and disappear with a poof. Minato was looking at her daughter in such awe, his chest filled with pride and happiness.

Sakura summoned Katsuyu and helped everyone heal. Naruto summoned Gamakichi and Sasuke summoned Aoda. Both of them charged at the Ten tails.

"Wind style: Massive Rasenshuriken"

"Inferno style: Susanoo flame control"

Both their jutsu combined together and hit the Ten tails setting it on Black flames. Inora teleported and stood beside Naruto on Gamakichi. Aoda was beside Gamakichi with Sasuke standing on him. "Nice shot" she said to the both of them.

"Hey Sasuke, there are still other tailed beasts inside that gigantic one. So put out those black flames when its weakened. Then Kurama and I will pull them out." Naruto said to his friend. "No I wont. They all burn." Sasuke said, his eyes cold. "Listen, dont you understand? If we dont save them now, we are gonna have a lot of trouble later on." Naruto said while Sasuke remained silent. The Ten tails suddenly detached the piece of itself that was on fire shocking everyone.

Inora suddenly felt Obito's chakra and gasped. Everyone heard a piercing scream. It was Obito. Sasuke, Naruto and Inora rushed towards him. Inora threw her kunai and teleported a little far away from Obito only to find her father slashing his kunai at him. Obito fell with his own blood pooling around him while Minato stood there wide eyed.

"Dad." Inora whispered walking towards them. "Is that really Obito?" Minato asked shaken. "Yeah dad. It is." Inora replied knowing very well how much it affected her father. "My jutsu formula marking never disappears. I didnt teach you that. Did I Obito? If you were alive, I would have wanted you to become the Hokage. So why did you.." He whispered looking down at Obito's motionless body.

"That was anticlimactic. So now all thats left to do is seal the unreborn Madara and the war will be over. Well plus this giant thing." Sasuke said joining them. "What exactly makes you think the war is over, my fellow traitor?" Obito asked making the 3 of them gasp.
