Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

Boom~!

With a thunderous crash, Neji—who had just approached the entrance—was violently slammed to the ground by one of the Nine-Tails' massive chakra limbs.

Naruto's figure slowly emerged atop the defensive wall, his gaze icy.

"If you want a fight, tell Obito to come out and do it openly, you piece of trash!" Naruto shouted coldly with disdain.

"Impossible… How can you perceive us?!" The Neji on the ground began to morph, his form shifting into that of White Zetsu, who cried out in shock.

"Strengthen the defense perimeter!" Naruto barked, completely ignoring Zetsu as he turned and headed back toward the camp.

"Damn it!" White Zetsu roared in frustration as he was quickly subdued by the nearby guards.

"So… is the mask ready?" Obito asked coldly, turning to Black Zetsu.

"I've heard that the Shinigami Mask has been located," Black Zetsu replied slowly, his voice ominous.

"Then hurry up. We need to extract the Nine-Tails' chakra immediately," Obito said sharply. "Now get out of my sight."

"Wait! Naruto… this time, for sure…" Obito's voice faded as he vanished into a swirling Uzumaki space-time vortex.

On the plateau above the Gobi Desert, the Reanimated Five Kage stepped forward, facing down the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"It seems this technique still retains some effectiveness," Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, said grimly. "Let me personally re-evaluate your worth… Gaara!"

"Onoki, stop me if you can! I'll use Dust Release without hesitation!" the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, declared without even moving his mouth, his will imposed through the Impure World Reincarnation.

"In short, our bodies aren't under our control. We're only able to autonomously counter enemy ninjutsu," said Gengetsu Hōzuki, the Second Mizukage. "Just seal me up already! I'll even tell you my weaknesses!"

"Anyway, do your best to stop our movements first," boomed the Third Raikage. "It's not going to be easy—hahaha!"

At that moment, Naruto stepped forward.

"I think all of you are misunderstanding something," Naruto said with a calm grin. "It's useless for you all to be here…"

"Because I alone am enough!" he shouted, launching forward without hesitation!

"What?!" The five Kage were stunned, their eyes narrowing with disbelief. "Brat! You're too full of yourself!"

The Third Kazekage and Rasa instantly raised their arms and combined their chakra—Magnet Release: Gold and Iron Sand, forming a massive triangular drill aimed directly at Naruto.

"Get out of here, you two weaklings!" Naruto yelled. "Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"

With an explosive rumble, two colossal wooden dragons erupted from the earth, crashing into the incoming iron sand and scattering it mid-air!

"Roarrrr!" The dragons let out deep growls as they surged forward, wrapping around the two Kazekage and binding them tightly.

"Nani?!" the remaining Reanimated Kage gasped in shock. "Is that… the Wood Style of the First Hokage?!"

In a flash, Naruto appeared in front of the two Kazekage, chakra flaring around him. Rasa, struggling, tried to draw his weapon—but Naruto was faster.

"Sit upon the frosty heavens… Hyōrinmaru!" Naruto declared, wielding an icy chakra construct in the form of a massive dragon.

The ice dragon spiraled out from his hand, instantly freezing both Rasa and the Third Kazekage in towering glacial spires.

Naruto stepped atop the frozen dragon, arms crossed as he surveyed the battlefield.

"Next…" he said, his tone casual. "Who's it gonna be?"

Meanwhile, deep within a forest by the river's edge, Itachi Uchiha supported a limping Nagato as they moved slowly.

"Dawn's already broken," Itachi remarked quietly. "It seems the fighting will start soon."

"I wonder who we'll be facing," Nagato replied, his voice low. "I don't know how Lord Naruto is doing now…"

Suddenly, the underbrush nearby exploded—and Shisui Uchiha's raiding unit emerged like a blur of wind and shadow.

"What the—?!" Itachi froze in place.

Shisui turned his head slowly, a nostalgic smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Itachi."

"You… you're not dead?!" Itachi's face went blank with disbelief. "I saw you die with my own eyes…"

"Lord Naruto saved me," Shisui explained. "And not just me—the entire Uchiha Clan has been restored."

"What did you say…?" Itachi murmured, shaken.

Shisui sighed heavily. "You were brainwashed by the Third Hokage and Danzō. The Uchiha never planned a coup. We only wanted to elevate our position in the village.

"But as my reputation grew, the elders—especially Danzō—saw us as a threat. So they conspired with Obito to massacre the Uchiha Clan."

"Young ones like you believed the lies fed to you," Shisui said, almost pityingly. "Sasuke's already been rescued, and the Uchiha Clan has returned to Konoha. So rest easy."

"I… I see." Itachi bowed his head in despair. "I never imagined that I was the one who was truly wrong…"

Elsewhere, in a dark chamber lit by candlelight, Kabuto Yakushi frowned while staring at a Go board. His fingers twitched into a seal.

"Hmph. I didn't expect a surprise assault before I even located the Nine-Tails," he muttered. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Suddenly, Itachi's eyes widened. He formed the same seal and expelled a massive fireball aimed directly at Shisui's group.

"So he's not making this easy," Shisui sighed, rapidly forming hand signs. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The two fireballs collided mid-air with a thunderous boom!

"Above!" Nagato shouted.

Itachi burst into a blur, revealing himself as a Shadow Clone, diving down with a kunai from above.

"Seems we're thinking the same," Shisui chuckled, creating his own clone to intercept in the air.

"Uchiha Style: Blade-Flame Leap!" Shisui's glowing katana clashed with Itachi's kunai, sparks showering down.

"How's Sasuke?" Itachi asked through clenched teeth.

"Oh, Fugaku-san beat the crap out of him. Now he's much more obedient," Shisui said casually mid-air. "He used to scream about avenging you—until he burned off the Raikage's arm."

"I don't even know why the Raikage chopped off his own hand just to avoid a Fire Seal. Dumb move if you ask me."

"Father?!" Itachi gasped, his emotions surging. "But I saw him die…"

"That was just one of Fugaku-san's shadow clones. He and Mikoto were watching everything from the roof, laughing," Shisui replied, shaking his head. "Though honestly, they never expected you to be killed by one of our own idiots."

"Fire Style: Majestic Flame Jutsu!"

A fire dragon exploded toward Itachi.

"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!" Itachi blocked it with practiced ease.

After a pause, he spoke solemnly. "Why didn't you stop me back then?"

"The Third Hokage and his council had already signed our death warrant," Shisui answered. "Even if you hadn't acted, Obito and Danzō would have. The only chance was to spare you and Sasuke."

"Fugaku and Mikoto decided to sacrifice themselves to give you a future."

"It was all like this?" Itachi covered his face in pain. "The real fool… was me…"

"Don't be so hard on yourself," Shisui said, stepping closer. "I came here specifically… for you."

"Nani?" Itachi blinked.

"Lord Naruto sent me. This is your chance to atone for everything." Shisui's eyes slowly opened, revealing a swirling Mangekyō Sharingan—and the power of his ultimate genjutsu.

"Kotoamatsukami!!"
