Author Notes: I claim no rights or claim to own the Naruto series or its characters as they are owned by Masashi Kishimoto. The only characters I do claim to own are the OCs that I will be using. I also don't claim the other kitsunes or demon foxes that I will be using as they are owned by the various anime series that they are featured in but all will have powers and abilities that they don't have in the series that they come from as they may also be OCC. Please be sure to leave me your comments and reviews telling me what you think.

Chapter ThirtyThree: war begins

It was a week before Naruto's birthday as all of the ninja's gathered to invade the land of frost and the land of hot water to attack the Akatsuki whose hide out was within the mountain's graveyard. Naruto and Killer B stood with the commanding officers as several days before the war had officially begun, they had lost both Fu and Yugito. Now there was only three Jinchuriki left and the Akatsuki were close to achieving their goals.

*What happened Gyuki? I thought you weren't supposed to leave Matabi's side!* snarled Kurama mentally.

*I didn't. B and I were lucky to escape with our lives. Even with my Biju mode activated, I had lost one of my tentacles trying to escape. Yugito and Matabi weren't so lucky.* replied Gyuki.

*They must have gotten to Fu and Chomei after we all left to return back to our villages.* added Shukaku.

*We will just have to be on our guard. Who knows what kind of tricks the enemy will use against us.* stated Naruto. Naruto knew that his team mates along with Haku were in special operations because of their unique powers. Menma was in close and mid-ranged fighters while Nariko was in the medical unit. Naruto worried about his brother and sister as he asked Tomoe to stay with Menma while Soro and Azusa helped out in the medical unit. Sherufanir stood besides Killer B armed with a long sword, Yohko was by Naruto side, and Shippo was going to protect Gaara. Momiji opted to stay with Koma and Ginkgo as these three weren't much of fighters.

The land of frost and the land of hot water had been cleared out of civilians this way they wouldn't get hurt or dragged into the war. Gaara gave out a speech before all the ninja's set out. Half of the troops went into the land of frost while the other half went into the land of hot water. Gaara, Naruto, and Killer B stayed with the special operations since they were the key to stop the Akatsuki's plans. The shinobi forces totaled eighty thousand when they entered the two lands they saw reanimated shinobi, Akatsuki both dead and alive, and over one hundred thousand white Zeku clones. The Akatsuki greatly out numbered them but, they would do whatever it took to defeat the Akatsuki's army. Fights broke out all over as people fell dying on the battlefield. The reanimated corpses were sealed away as several of the white Zeku clones also laid dead. Any of the remaining living Akatsuki were dealt with the three Jinchuriki. Kisame Hoshigaki fought against Killer B and Sherufanir as they did a battle with their swords. Kisame holding his own against the two. Gaara and Shippo were fighting against Kakuzu which left Naruto and Yohko to deal with the immortal Hidan. Gaara and Shippo faced Kakuzu as he called upon the elemental masks that he had on his body by using his tendrils to give them life. Meanwhile both Naruto and Yohko were dodging Hidan's blade. They couldn't allow the immortal to draw their blood.

*Yohko...... How much time do you need to lay that trap?* Naruto asked mentally. Yohko had alerted his father that he had a plant that could deal with Hidan but, he needed time to plant the seed close to the man.

*A couple of seconds.* replied the fox.

*Then let's buy him as much time as we can Naruto.* stated Kurama. Naruto caused Kurama's chakra to flare caused Kurama's chakra to flare causing the Biju to manifest in chakra form.

Hidan laughed wildly as he swung his scythe only to have it go through Kurama.

"Sorry...... But your weapon won't work on me as I have no physical body to speak of." Kurama stated as he grabbed Hidan's weapon. A tree with a human face sprouted up behind Hidan wrapping its branches around the immortal.

"Sinning Tree. It feeds on your memories ensnaring the consciousness and makes you see the hallucinations of your wickedness. It won't let you go until you are dead." Yohko stated not like Hidan would hear anything that Yohko had said. Naruto turned to see Gaara and Shippo still struggling against Kakuzu. Naruto called upon the truth seeking orbs to destroy the elemental masks that the Akatsuki member had as a part of him. This allowed Gaara to deal the death blow. Sand slithered all around Kakuzu in a tight bind.

"Sand Coffin!" Gaara snarled as the sand squeezed the life out of Kakuzu. Shippo used his fox fire to finish the job turning the Akatsuki to ash. Naruto turned to see Killer B in his Biju form and Sherufanir in her full fox take down Kisame. The only member of the Akatsuki that was left was the one whom called himself Madara Uchiha and Zeku.

The white Zeku fled as the remaining ninja's managed to seal the reanimated corpses or kill off the Zeku. Even though the Akatsuki forces managed to out number the Allied forces. The ninja's managed to defeat the Akatsuki. Zeku knew that he had to warn Madara about Naruto's powers as the blonde Jinchuriki was going to be their biggest problem. There was no way that Madara could beat Naruto. Not if he had the sage of sixth paths power. They had to come up with another plan to defeat Naruto and manage to resurrect the ten tails.

'I will free you mother. I will make sure of it.' Zeku thought to himself. Zeku was the true master mind behind the whole Akatsuki as Madara died passing the group and his ambitions to Obito as the Uchiha believed that Kakashi had betrayed him and killed off his own teammate. 'This world of shinobi will be yours mother and no one will stand in our way. Including the ones who are responsible for sealing you away in the first place. I will kill the sage of six paths that has been reborn as Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki.
