See the wait wasn't that long for once! XD

"What is the village, and shinobi? Itachi..my brother was used by the village. Still, he risked his life to protect it...and died proud of being a shinobi of the Leaf. He killed his comrades...and he himself died, to protect the village. What is it exactly? And the Shinobi who created all this, what are they? I want to hear the truth from you before making my decision. Whether to take revenge on the Leaf or.."

"Revenge on the Leaf! You were also possessed by the Uchiha's evil, brat...I am going to..." Tobirama growled about to lunge for Sasuke.

"Second!" Sarutobi called.

"Tobirama..." Hashirama called releasing and immense presence.

Orochimaru was making a seal as I drew my sword.

"Lower your fingers and sword." He ordered.

"You don't have to rouse your chakra so much, brother." Tobirama said.

"Sorry! Sorry!" He apologized laughing.

I looked up and slashed some rubble that had fallen from the ceiling in half before it could touch my head.

"He truly is powerful," I thought.

"W-wow," Minato gasped looking at the cracked walls.

"Anyway....You had a really great brother, Sasuke. He's a better shinobi than me. I can talk to you about the village, but it will be a long story."

"If possible, I'd like you to tell him what he wants to know. We don't have much time. We are currently at war. Madara Uchiha was revived and is planning to erase all shinobi from this world." Orochimaru said.

"The world is always at war,"

"Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. Hmmm no wonder I've been feeling weird this whole time." I said.

"What are you talking about?" Suigetsu questioned.

"Well I'm just a clone, the real Mariah is out there in the war. So far I can tell that she almost lost herself to her demon."

"You mean Tadashi?" Sasuke questioned

"No the other one."

"There's another one?"

" Ah yes, the Kira curse. The child born with a striped eye who possesses a powerful demon." Tobirama said.

The others gave her a questioning look.

"That's a different story for another time," I said.

"It seems to be the truth. I can definitely sense Madara's chakra." Tobirama confirmed.

"Then we should head to the battlefield too!" Sarutobi insisted.

"You're being controlled by my edo tensei, I can limit your movements. If you want to go there, you can do it after we finish talking." Orochimaru said.

"We can talk later! Do you understand how serious the situation is if Madara is back!?"

"Calm down old man, Naruto's got this. He and everyone else can last without you guys for a while." I reassured.

"Naruto?" The third questioned.

"Yes, he's really strong now and has been helping throughout the war."

The Fourth Hokage looked up with pride in his eye when he heard about Naruto.

"If Sasuke isn't satisfied, I might even use you to crush the Leaf."

"Psh, like I'd allow that. I'll kill you before that happens." I threatened.

"Orochimaru, I think you are misunderstanding. Having improved the accuracy and efficiency of this jutsu is your mistake. This time we were brought back to this world with almost our full power. I will not let you restrain me with your Edo Tensei. I was the one who devised this jutsu, in the end...Brother, it cannot be helped. I am going." Tobirama said.

I took a step forward but Orochimaru grabbed my shoulder stopping me. As Tobirama tried to move but he was stuck in place.

"Sarutobi...You raised a skilled shinobi." Hashirama praised.

"It's an honor for me to be praised by the God of Shinobi."

"You increased the restraining power using my cells. Tobirama...you grew a but dull." He laughed breaking Orochimaru's restraint.

"How can you be so cheerful and carefree as a shinobi?" I asked.

"You have to enjoy the little things in life when you know you won't last long in this life. I can tell that you're always on your guard. You're still a child and should be relaxing!"

"How can I when I've almost died so many times in my life and been through so much at a young age. How can I relax?"

"You'll realize it soon. Now I will first free that boy from the ill feelings restraining him. I don't know what this Uchiha boy will choose after hearing my words, but if I ignore him now, he will undoubtedly become a new Madara. In that case, even if the war ends, our victory will have no meaning."

"Ha, do as you want, brother."

"Oh well, what should we start from? Right.."

Hashirama told us about his fight with Madara then about how they first met each other when they were children while the rivalry between Senju and Uchiha was going on. How they use to meet each other by a river talking about the future and training together without revealing their surnames. Then once their family found out they were forced to fight in the war against each other acting like they were never friends.

Once Madara was defeated Hashirama refused to kill him and in order to gain Madara's trust Hashirama, Madara wanted him to either kill Tobirama or commit suicide. Instead of killing Tobirama, he decided to commit suicide. Just before he was going to do it, Madara stopped him and the alliance was created. Then after Hashirama became Hokage Madara turned evil wanting to fight Hashirama in the future.(I really don't want to write the flashback cus I don't know how to write it)

"I don't know how Madara came back to life but I'm certain that I killed my friend...for the sake of the village. The village Madara and I originally desired was something that could connect clans. An important cornerstone to turn chaos into order and maintain it. Something to protect children and avoid useless quarrels..a place ruled by peace."

"Tsk, there is no peace in this world of ours." I interjected.

"However, it eventually created the darkness that your brother Itachi had to shoulder. Perhaps what Madara said was true..Maybe he was able to predict what would have happened. I am the shinobi who created this situation and I'm also the one who thought it was fine that way. I think that..shinobi are people who endure to achieve their goals but depending on what they choose as their goal, they change Like Madara and I."

"Shinobi are people..who endure. To achieve their goals.." Sasuke repeated.

"My goal was to build the village but Madara had found something else. What Orochimaru said earlier..I'm not sure what he concretely meant by saying that Madara came back to life and is trying to erase shinobi from this world."

"Infinite Tsukuyomi village, shinobi, countries, people, it makes no difference. Everything will be caught in his genjutsu and he will control it as he likes." I said.

"What my brother...Madara's brother..and you tried to protect. Everything will turn to nothing. My brother was the one who inherited your will, Hashirama, despite never having heard about it from you...he endured far more than you did and he died proud of being a shinobi of the Leaf. It's inronic that in the end...the shinobi who understood you the most was an Uchiha."

"It's not only your brother. Even among my subordinates there was a man like him, Kagami Uchiha." Tobirama said.

"Second, didn't you hate Uchiha?"

"Not exactly..I simply thought we had to be careful of clans that pose a danger to the village. The Uchiha clan was indeed especially worthy of mention but it's also true that they were very devoted. There were also many, like your brother and Kagami Uchiha that surpassed the boundaries of the clan and did a lot for the village."

"Kagami Uchiha's son was Shisui Uchiha, he was your brother's friend. Like me, amny people inherited the will of fire from the first but maybe I was the most indulgent of them all. I wasn't able to continue the Second's work properly. For that reason, I let Danzou handle the darkness of the village." Sarutobi said.

"I killed Danzou too for my revenge, though in the end he declared that he'd use any means to protect the village."

"It seems that all I did as an Hokage is making mistakes. Everything that is currently happening outside is my responsibility."

"No it's not your fault. You did all you could for the sake of the village. I died when the Kyuubi attacked the village. You had high expectations for me as Hokage, yet I fell short of them." Minato said.

"He even left out me to choose you. Everyone thought it was a pity." Orochimaru chimed in.

"Orochimaru are you sulking?" Suigetsu questioned.

"A little, since we are in the front of the third."

"If I had lived, maybe I could've stopped the Uchiha's coup d'etat in a different way."

"So..what are you going to do Sasuke?" Orochimaru asked. "Will you destroy the village or...."

Everyone looked at Sasuke wondering the same thing.

"I'm going to the battlefield; I won't let this village and my brother be wasted!" Sasuke announced.

Honestly, I was surprised at his decision. I looked at everyone elses faces and saw that they were also surprised. I felt Kurayami's presence enter the ruins and turned towards her direction.

"Fine!" Hashirama said breaking the silence. "Tobirama, prepare to fly outside!"

"We can't use the Hiraishin, we're bound."

"Orochimaru, what will you do?"

"Didn't you say that you would take Sasuke's side?" Sarutobi said.

"Of course, I will come too."

"Juugo?" Suigetsu questioned.

"I will too...protecting Sasuke is my role."

"Mariah?"

"I'm already there, most likely I will disappear soon. Don't worry Suigetsu, you won't die."

Kurayami finally got to us which made everyone wonder why there was an overgrown cat.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"The Jubi has been resurrected. Your true self was taken over by that demon but you and Tadashi defeated her now everyone is fighting Madara and Obito." She explained.

"Why is there a cat here?" Suigetsu questioned.

"She's mine. She said that everyone is on the battle field attacking the Jubi along with Madara and Obito." I explained.

"Obito?" The Fourth questioned.

"Yes, apparently he's been alive this whole time and has been under Madara's wing." I translating Kurayami's words.

The Fourth looked down in sadness.

"Apparently my demon did take control but the real me was able to fight her. You have to get there fast, they'll need all the help they can get."

We then all ventured outside where the Hokage were taking in the view of the village.

"What a nostalgic view!" Hashirama gasped.

Suigetsu then tried to escape but someone kicked him down.

"I knew that it was Sasuke! I felt the chakra, didn't think it was possible but see what!" She yelled.

"Oh, another one of my good experiments."

"Karin,"

"I'll never forgive you!"

"Sorry, Karin."

"Bastard! Do you think that words of you I can forgive will I, damn you?"

"Oh great, she's back." I sighed.

"Sasuke is still your soft spot."

"You know what, Sasuke stabbed me, and then...Hey, Orochimaru!"

"Me too, but now I'm on his side. You should cooperate too."

"Who is she?" Hashirama questioned.

"Judging from her chakra, she must be from the Uzumaki clan." Tobirama said.

"C-can't help it." Karin cooed cuddling with Sasuke.

Hate and jealousy coursed through me so I went up to Karin grabbing her by the shirt yanking her off of Sasuke.

"As much fun as this reunion is...we're in the middle of war." I said as calmly as I could.

"Oh, she's still here? I though Sasuke would've gotten rid of you by now."

"Nope, I'm still here."

"Orochimaru, why did you decide to cooperate with Sasuke? You tried to destroy the village." Sarutobi questioned.

"While I was inside Kabuto, I realized that what he did, completely copying me, was a mistake. Now I am just interested in Sasuke's different path. Unlike Kabuto, he didn't try to imitate me."

"Hokage! From the top of these rock faces that have watched over it so far look closely at this village!" Hashirama shouted excitedly.

In a flash they were all gone.

"....How was he Hokage with that attitude?" I questioned.

"Enjoy the little things in life my dear Mariah." Orochimaru said as we took off after them.

"I can finally meet my son. To make up for everything I haven't been able to do for you as a father. I'll bring a big present to you."

"My first battle in a long while..I'll have to stay focused!"

"Madara...this time I'll defeat you."

"I know it's imprudent...but I'm curious to meet my lone time friend."

"This is going to be an interesting battle." I said with a smirk.
