Orochimaru and his team where making their way to the battlefield. When Orochimaru suddenly stopped running.

Orochimaru turned around to see Tsunade and the Kages coming his way.

"Well since the Kages at healed, we will all head to the battlefield." Orochimaru said.

"I take Karin and Suigestu during my vanishing eye technique to transport to the battlefield." Kiko said.

"I travel underground on Manda's back with Tsunade." Orochimaru said.

"Then me and the other Kage will travel by my sand." Garra said.

"Oh, right then let's get going." Orochimaru command.

So, all of them got ready to take off and head to the battlefield.

~•~

Namai and Obito Senju where still restraining the Jubi. And where think of a way to seal it. Namai didn't know any sealing jutsu. Obito knew only one called nine phantom dragon sealing jutsu thanks to his rinnegan. But it won't work as well with him and only Namai. He would have the others help but they had to keep a close eye on the evil Obito and Madara so they can't try to control the Jubi again.

I can't keep this paralysis genjutsu up much longer. And Namai chains won't last forever. I need seal it now, Obito Senju thought to himself.

"Alright if I'm going to seal you," he said firmly. "I have to do it right now!"

"Don't tell me you going to use that seal jutsu. That jutsu will take a lot of charka without nine or more people," Namai scolded.

"I know that but I won't let anyone else die!" Obito Senju exclaimed.

"If you try to seal it all of it by yourself it could kill you!!! Don't be foolish just try and help me keep it busy until someone who can seal it without possibly dying shows up."

We don't have enough time to wait. This beast will break free eventually your chains won't last forever. Also, my genjutsu won't keep it paralysis for long either." Obito Senju explained.

"For now, we just need to hold it off. I'm positive we have help soon." Namai said.

However, the fact the Jubi was restrained by Namai chains which were reinforce by Kurama's charka, and Obito paralysis genjutsu was making the monster angrier. It let out a loud and vile cry, making everyone worried again.

And by now, the charka overcoats had dissipated and could longer protect anyone.

The Jubi was struggling to break free from the golden chains and Namai seemed to have a hard time keeping it in check. So Obito try releasing more charka to increase the paralysis genjutsu so the Jubi couldn't move anymore.

"Damn...... We need do something now!" He muttered.

Because He could feel that even with his genjutsu and Namai Adamantine sealing chains, it would try to attack again pretty soon....

"Kakashi deal with the enemy Obito." Naruto command as he stated at the Jubi, before he starting moving away. But before he could go anywhere Kakashi placed a hand on his shoulder.

"What are you planning to do?" He asked a little worried.

"I'm going to protect my son." He simply said before taking a step forward.

"I help you."

"No someone has to deal with the enemy. I be fine on my own. I won't die so relax Kakashi."

" Fine I deal with the enemy Obito then. "

But before Naruto could take another step forward. He had a strange sensation that made him freeze in his spot.

"What's...." He whispered.

Kakashi just have him a questioning look as he had no idea what was going on.

He then put his hands on the ground. He needed to make sure of what he felt.

His eyes widened with antioshment after a few seconds.

He could feel familiar charka sources in the distance. Among them, there was Sauske's, Orochimaru, Tsunade 's. And more surprising Kiko's, the Sandaime's and..... Yondamie's.... There were three he didn't really recognize (that was Suigestu's Jugo's, and the Nidame's) The last was silimiar to his own yet it was sort of different. It was more like Burto warm and friendly.

So, Kiko survive but who the other three I don't recognize I feel like I felt them before but not enough to recognize it, Naruto thought to himself.

"What is it, Naruto sensei?" Kakashi asked somewhat worried.

"........."

But Naruto couldn't get a single word to come out his mouth.

The charka sources were getting closer and closer......

"What... Going on.... How is posibl..." He ended up trailing off after a few moments of silence.

Anyway, he finally got a grip on himself and stood back up after a few moments of silence.

"Kakashi deal with Obito... Try to bring him back to reason if you can.... while I help my son." Naruto said.

Naruto quickly joined Namai and his son who were struggling more and more to keep the Jubi in check and meanwhile Kakashi went to deal with Obito.

"Namai, and son!" He exclaimed once he was near them.

"Godaime-Sama, Otosan."

Naruto stared at them both intently.

"We won't be able to restrain it much longer...!" Namai said.

"Don't worry I will deal with that thing. I just need you two to hold it back a bit longer." Naruto said to both of them.

"You..." Obito uttered with a frown on his face.
Then he remembers the sealing jutsu from Oreo-Jiji clan. The 8-serpent sealing jutsu similar to the nine phantom dragons.

"But.... You can't do that!!"

"And why that?" Naruto asked him.

"Because.... I don't want to lose you! Oreo-Jiji would never be the same if you die! Also, you what it would feel like if your father died?!"

"Otosan would still have okasan and his two grandchildren." Naruto replied calmly.

"..... No, I can do it!!"

Naruto gave him a long level look.

"No. That out of the question. You are too young to die. And you won't be able to become Hokage. Also, it my job as a someone who an ANBU commander to protect the king. "

Obito's face turned to one of disbelief. He couldn't believe that his father was going to sacrifice his life just for the kids of the new generation also called the king.

Obito could feel tears walking up in his eyes, but he could also feel the genjutsu and hear Namai Adamantine sealing chains losing it hold. The Jubi was struggling, even more, to get free. The Jubi was ready to throw another Tailed Beast Ball at everyone on the battleground.

Naruto was me about to weave the hand signs needed to use the 8- serpent sealing jutsu.

"No! "Obito shouted.

Naruto side glanced at him.

"Sorry, but we don't have any more time for this, I have to do it now! "

Obito clenched his fist before He pounced on Naruto before He could weave the hand signs needed, catching his father off guard.

"Sorry, but I can't you do that!! I need you I you can't die until I become Hokage! Please don't do it I need your guidance to lead me down the path to bring Hokage! "

The Jubi broke free from the paralysis genjutsu and was now about to hit Naruto, Obito, and Namai. With a gigantic ball.

Naruto could see the ball aiming at them, and was now thinking it was going to be the end for all of them.

However, the next thing he knew, the ball disappeared instantly before it could reach them.

"......Huh......"

But they could still hear a long bang on the distance.

Naruto was hit by a sudden realization. The ball has been teleported.

Everyone was amazed and puzzled by what had just happened, everyone, except Burto who was being healed by Sakura.

And pretty soon after, his and Namai father appeared in front of him in a flash.

"Who is that? "Sakura asked with wide eyes.

"I hope I am not too late... "He said as he glanced at his son.

"No., "Burto said with a smile on his face. "You're Justin time, Dad. "

"Dad? "

"My name's Minato Namikaze. "

Minato stood up and turned around to face both Burto and Sakura.

He looked at the pink-haired girl before staring at his son then looked back at Sakura.

"Are you Burto's girlfriend? "he asked quizzically.

"........ "

Sakura was clearly taken aback by his question.
But a wide from appeared on Burto's face.

"Yeah, Haha, kind of!! "

"Oh, you!!!" Sakura exclaimed angrily before hitting him on the head.

"Ouch! "

Her attitude was reminding him of Kushina. Speaking about her, he was now wondering where his daughter was.

He took a look at his surroundings, looking for her, but didn't seem to be able to spot her immediately.
"Where's s your sister, Burto?"

"She's been holding the Jubi back with her sealing chains," Burto answered.

Minato seems surprised to hear that, not because he learned that Namai could use the adamantine sealing chains, but because she had been using them to hold the Jubi back.

He turned around and spotted the Jubi, and then made out the golden chains holding it.
A small frown appeared on his face. He had to help her.

Soon after, the other Hokage arrived at the battlefield, soon followed by Sauske, and then Orochimaru and Tsunade, Kiko, Suigetsu, and Jugo, as well as Karin who had managed to escape her cell in Konoha.

"Yondaime, your Flying Thunder God Technique is much faster than mine." Tobirama acknowledged as a small smirk spread across his lips.

As for Hashirama, he around the battlefield carefully, looking for granddaughter husband and son.

"We should get going now... My daughter needs help with the Jubi. "Minato said to the three other men earnestly.

The three other Hokage have him earnest looks.

"Alright, my fellow Hokage, let's do this! "Tobirama stated.

However, before they could, Madara appeared on a cliff with a devilish smirk plastered on his face.

"I've been waiting for Hashirama! "

Said man practically glared at him.

"I'll deal with you later! We have to deal with the Jubi first! "He replied firmly as he was pointing at him.

Madara smirk instantly disappears.

"........ "

Everyone present was staring at him.

"Hn. You haven't changed at all. And your great-grandson is just like you. "

"Huh? What do you mean? "

Madara narrowed his eyes at him.

"What I mean is that he looks just like a pale snake version of you. I wanted to keep fighting with him to distract myself again before I knew you were, I knew you were coming but he preferred to deal with the Jūbi instead," Madara said, crossing his arms.
Hashirama frowned at his statement.

Speaking of him, Naruto could sense their chakra nearby.

"........."

He could feel Namai was getting more and more exhausted. Especially now that she restraining the Jubi on her since Obito genjutsu was released. Even if she had the Strength of a Hundred deals and Kurama's charka, she only half Uzumaki...... And she must have already used much of her since the beginning of the war.

So, he decided to use his own Byakugō to heal her. He put his hand on the girl's shoulders before he started healing her as Namai was kneeling down.

Namai-Sama... What are you doing?" Namai asked. Somehow surprised by Naruto's sudden initiative.

"Isn't this clear enough? "

"But... You will need charka- "

"You need this chakra much more than I do."

"........ "

"And you're my goddaughter I promise your parents I would keep you and your brother safe. Also, you're too young to die just like my son. "

"....... "

Namai replied nothing and instead she looked up at the Jūbi that was still angry as earlier and still struggling to get out of the grip of her sealing chains.

"Good thing the Golden Fox decided to give us his charka. He'll be useful for once. "Kurama stated.
But he could sense the former Hokage's charka too, and one especially in particular.

"Yondaime......" he spat with venom in his voice.

Namai flinched at the name as she was now standing before him in her mindscape.
"........ "

How come her own father was even there?
So, this unknown chakra... It was him... But something made her eyes widen in confusion.

Kurama looked down at her before snorting slightly.

"Well, when he split my chakra in two, he sealed my Yang part into your stupid brother as you already know and he sealed the Yin part into you. But.... he used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal some of my Yin chakras into himself. Since the Yin is the darkest part of the two, he thought it would be safer not to seal all of my Yin charkas into you. That's why you can some of it in him. "(Sorry I said Namai had the Yang half sealed in her but I mixed up tang and yin)

"......I see......"

Meanwhile, as Naruto was still giving her chakra to Namai, he could feel a hand on his shoulder. He froze in his spot.

"It's okay, Naruto. We are going to deal with it," Minato assured him.

Naruto didn't dare turn around to face the man. Instead, he tried to get a grip on himself and focused back on his healing.

"And Namai, you can stop using your adamantine sealing chains," he then added.

The said girl turned her head so she could glance at the man.

"Dad...."

Unlike Burto, it was the first time she had seen him. Minato smiled at her before removing his hand from Naruto 's shoulder and taking a few steps forward to go and stand before both of them.

The three other Hokage also noticed the golden chains that were holding back the monster and how they were coming from her from where they were standing.

"Adamantine sealing chains, except for Mito I've never seen anyone else use them before... How impressive," the Shodai noted.

Even his little brother seemed to be impressed by this feat.

Namai's adamantine sealing chains disappeared suddenly and she went back to her normal state.
And immediately afterward the four previous Hokage weaved the Ram hand seal.

Ninja Art: Four Red Yang Formation

Most shinobi were stunned as they witnessed the gigantic red barrier now entrapping the Jūbi.

Gai explained that this was a Jutsu that could only be used by shinobi who had a Kage level.

"Alright, it's time for me to help too now!" Hashirama stated before activating his Sage mode and weaving the Ram hand seal.

Sage Art: Gate of the Great God

Both Namai and Naruto watched as the Jūbi was being immobilized, their eyes wide with awe.
My use of Mokuton is nothing compared to his...... Naruto thought to herself.

Once they were done with this, the three other Hokage made their way back toward Naruto, Namai, and Minato.

Minato turned to face both his daughter and Naruto.

Naruto finally made eye contact with him.

"Yon..." he trailed off in shock.

Minato stared at him in awe. His hair had grown up so much since the last time he had seen him. And he has grown to look even more like his father. As for him, he hadn't changed of course, and this was really strange for Naruto.

"Naruto, how many times did I tell you to stop with the Yondaime-Sama?"

Meanwhile, Hashirama was staring at his back. He saw the snake sword on his back and his incredible long black hair in a ponytail down his back.

"Naruto...?"

Said man started slightly as he heard the unfamiliar voice calling his name.

This warm and powerful and friendly chakra just like Burto's...

Naruto didn't dare turn around at first and kept on focusing on his healing instead, and everyone was presently staring at him expectantly, even Namai who had turned her head to do so. Well, the Nidaime was more glaring at him and his brother as well rather than staring. They were right in the middle of a war, so it's not as if they could dwell on sentimentalism and trivial things for too long.
Minato gave him a sheepish smile at some point, but this didn't help ease the heavy tension and silence.

"Why... What are you all doing here?" Naruto asked after some time.

"Well, Naruto Yashagoro revived us and informed us about the war and Madara," Minato answered casually.

I knew I felt another charka, but don't sense him close by, Naruto thought to himself.

Naruto had figured that out by now. But he wanted to know why he had revived them in the first place. Also, why he didn't come with them.

"But why did he bring you all back? I doubt that he did it to help us in the war... Also, why didn't he come with you all?"

"He did it because Sauske needed answers, also he was looking for his brother." Hashirama was the one to reply this time. He

"Answers?" Naruto repeated with a raised brow as he finally stopped with his healing and turned around to face her ancestor. "Answers about what?"

"Also, my dad just arrived he standing right behind you along with my mom. "

Everyone turned around to see Orochimaru sitting on Manda back with Tsunade. And Kiko standing next to them with Suigestu and Karin.

Hashirama took the time to examine him thoroughly from head to toe now that he could see her face and took in her physical appearance Before examining his great-grandson.

He had pale skin, and his golden vertical snake eyes, and how he has purple marketing above his eyes. His hair is black and long and goes down his back. Has incredible sharp cheekbones and wearing Hokage cloak.

Then he looks over at his great-grandson. His golden eyes shaped like Tsunade but also make him look like a snake similar to his dad. His hair is long and black but in a ponytail. He also noticed the Byakugō mark on his forehead, just like the one Mito had. As for his facial features, he noted that he looked a bit like Tsunade. The shape of his face was like his father and the same pale skin.

He then inferred that he must have been in his late thirties possibly early forties. But he may have been wrong. Senju men and women had this habit of looking always younger than they really were. Even if it was someone in their forties or fifties, they would usually look younger...

Even though he was waiting for a response on his part, Naruto examined the man as well. He was tall, much taller than him (Well, he's supposed to be 1m85, so let's say that she is around 1m70), had long and straight dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, and had tanned skin. So, he was nothing like him...

He had only seen him on an old photograph which her mother had kept.

Well, he knew he got most of his looks from his father but his mom's eye shape.

And now that he was thinking about it, he and his brother looked nothing alike. The Nidaime had short spiky silver hair like Kakashi and crimson red eyes whose shape wasn't the same as his brother.
"He wanted to know what a shinobi really is, and what kind of role he fulfills. And what the system of villages and nations was created for," Hashirama eventually replied.

He hadn't forgotten his question.

Naruto maintained his eye contact with him, even after he had finished speaking.

Never had he thought that he would ever meet him? The God of Shinobi. The legendary man that had created the hidden leaf and managed to have a truce with the Uchiha after fighting against them for so many decades. The man that even Madara Uchiha hadn't been able to defeat in his lifetime. The man that bore the Will of Fire in him.

As for Hashirama, he was eager to get to know him. Yet he was well aware that they were in the middle of a war and that they wouldn't have time to have a long conversation. And he was also aware of the way his brother was staring daggers at him, silently disapproving of his passive attitude.

He sighed in frustration.

"Also, son my brother be here soon. He stayed back with the other Kages. They should be here so" Orochimaru replied eventually.

Naruto nodded. "Oh okay. "

"Alright, let's get this war over with," he said determinedly. "There is no more time to waste."
Naruto nodded at him.

"Let's go. "
