Naruto Universe Part 2: Reanimated During the Fourth Shinobi War

The following chapter briefly references characters that only appeared in filler arcs and OVA episodes.

***

War had come to the shinobi world.

The five great shinobi nation's original force of eighty thousand was heavily bolstered from forces contributed by the Hidden Star, Hidden Grass, Hidden Frost, Hidden Rain, Hidden Waterfall, and the remnants of the Hidden Sound to a number of over one hundred thousand shinobi.

Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, had woken from her coma just in time to participate in the war since Danzo had been disgraced and assassinated.

Ay and Tsunade were stationed at the alliance headquarters to monitor the movements on the battlefield.

Gaara and Onoki, accompanied by the young Hoshikage of the Hidden Star, Sumaru, and the leader of the Hidden Waterfall, Shibuki, were with the allied forces directly on the battlefield.

Mei, Kenji, and the leaders of the Frost and Grass were placed as guards over the nations' Daimyos.

The allied forces were met in equal force by an army of one hundred thousand White Zetsu clones and an assorted force of shinobi who had been reanimated by Kabuto.

Naruto Uzumaki and Killer Bee had been hidden in secret initially, the war having been kept secret from the nine tails Jinchuriki, but once he had detected the battles through his new mastery of the Biju's power, Naruto had been quick to join the fight alongside the eight tails Jinchuriki.

Thanks to this and the alliance's foresight of preparing extensive barrier and sealing teams the tide of war had shifted in the favor of the allied shinobi forces. The Zetsu army had already been cut in half and the majority of the reanimated ninja, even former Kage, had been sealed away.

Land of Lightning: Day 2 of the 4th Great Shinobi War...

Nagato felt his consciousness return to his body, finding that he wasn't in control. His body felt strange as if his free will had been sapped from it while his mind was still active. Seeing his hair as it fell in his eyes, he realized it was no longer red as it used to be but white. He realized then that whatever happened.

He wasn't supposed to be alive.

Members of the Uzumaki Clan were famous for slow aging, their hair never greying as they grew older. The only time an Uzumaki's hair color changed was when their chakra left their body, leaving their bright red hair a haunting white.

Why am I alive? What's going on? Where's Konan?

The former Akatsuki leader looked around, hoping to find the answer to his questions when saw a familiar face standing near. Only... the face was of someone he was sure had died.

"Itachi. What's happening?"

The Uchiha looked over at his former leader, "I'm not sure. I thought I was dead."

Nagato looked at his hands, "So did I."

There was a familiar rustle of paper as a third figure joined them.

"It's the Reanimation Jutsu," Konan's voice was full of despair as her figure took form, "Invented by the Second Hokage and used by Orochimaru. Since they are both dead, I guess that Kabuto is responsible for this."
