FINALLY UPLOADED!!! AHHHHHH

"Well I'd love to stay with you guys but I must return to my real body on the battle field." Mariah said.

"You're not a regular clone, how will you manage to do that?" Orochimaru questioned.

"Kill me,"

"What?!" Suigetsu exclaimed.

"Killing me is the only way to make me disappear."

"An impressive jutsu. Must be forbidden though." Hashirama said.

"Most likely. I made it myself."

"Hmph, typical Kira."  Tobirama said.

"Now someone kill me." She commanded.

"Gladly," Karin said.

"Karin you probably can't even kill a bug."

"What?!"

In a split second a sword pierced Mariah's body threw her heart. Blood splattered from her mouth as she fell to her knees. Orochimaru's hand was on the hilt of the blade pulling it out. Her eyes rolled back as she fell flat on her face then she disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"I knew that no one would've killed her so I took the opportunity." Orochimaru chuckled.

*With the battle*

Everyone was rushing towards Naruto as Obito appeared behind him. Naruto went for the attack but he disappeared.

"Did he get away?" Kiba questioned.

"Nope," Mariah answered as she kicked Obito right when he reappeared.

She sent him flying downwards but he quickly grabbed the cliff and swung himself up. As he flew to the top of the cliff he grabbed Mariah's arm bringing her with him and maneuvered himself so he could throw her. He threw her down towards the leaf shinobi head first; just before she hit the ground Kiba caught her.

"If you think the pain of your friends' death is a form of bond then why do you need to protect them?" Obito questioned Naruto.

"Your dumb arguments! That's something I really hate about you! Quit it with your stupid reasoning! I meant to say that I'll stand any pain for my friends! I'm not gonna give up on them! Maybe I'm just being selfish, but not having my friends here is the most painful thing for me. Period!"

Everyone started to smile at Naruto's words which gave them hope. Suddenly Mariah fell the her knees clutching her chest.

"Mariah! What's wrong?!" Kiba exclaimed.

Everyone looked over at Mariah seeing her in a troubled state. Sakura quickly rushed over checking to see if she was injured.

"There's nothing wrong with her."

"It's nothing to worry about. The pain will pass soon. I sent a clone after Sasuke a while ago and it seems that she just got killed. It's a side effect of my clone jutsu but it'll pass soon." Mariah explained. "Luckily, reinforcements are on their way."

"What kind of reinforcements?"

"You'll see."

As everyone was distracted the Juubi made a screeching noise causing everyone to cover their ears. The Juubi started thrashing around breaking all the restraints around it. In a flash Obito was in front of Kakashi taking him into his Tsukuyomi.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted.

"Naruto, I leave this to you!"

The Juubi screeched again which caused the ground to shake making debris fly everywhere.

"Everyone! Get near me!" Mariah shouted.

Those who were close enough huddled around Mariah who activated her shield which protected them from an explosion that the Juubi caused. Once the dirt cleared everyone found themselves in a hug crater. Mariah looked over at Naruto seeing that his nine tails mode has vanished along with the chakra he gave everyone. Tadashi appeared next to Mariah.

"Are you alright Mariah?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's help Naruto."

Everyone appeared in front of Naruto protecting him as Sakura started to heal him.

"Now it's our turn to protect you, Naruto." Mariah said.

Another screech was heard. Everyone looked towards the Juubi seeing it transform; it now looked like a type of flower. A giant black ball started to form from its mouth.

"It's getting bigger and bigger.." Shikamaru said.

"Is it going after Naruto?!" Choji questioned.

"What can we do against it without Naruto's chakra?" Someone asked.

"We can't just rely on Naruto." Mariah said.

"We can't just hesitate now after all that's happened! Naruto is doing everything he can! It was clear from his words!" Sakura shouted.

"Yeah....he's doing his best to protect simple shinobi like us."

"I don't mean that! He's making us realize that he considers all of us his comrades! I'm going to make Naruto have a full recovery! Every one of us must do what's in their power! If we're gonna die anyway...then it's better to die fighting than to do nothing!"

"Well spoken Sakura," Mariah smirked.

"Ino! There's someone I want you to link to me!" Shikamaru said.

"Did you come up with something?!" Ino shouted in glee.

She put her hand up to Shikamaru's head as he communicated with someone.

"Ino, now link me to all the shinobi on this battlefield. Can you do it?"

"I just will,"

The beast then shot off his bomb towards everyone. Before it could hit, all the earth users summoned a huge wall but it vanished just as it broke through the wall.

"It vanished!"

When the smoke cleared the Fourth Hokage was kneeling in front of Naruto.

"Was I late?" He questioned.

"No..you were right on time, Dad!"

"Who's he?" Sakura questioned.

"I'm Minato Namikaze. Get ready for the blast."

From behind the aftershock from the bomb knocked everyone off balance.

"What was that?!"

"I sent the Kyuubi's attack to the sea."

"Yo-you are.." Sakura started.

"Don't worry, I'm on your side. Thank you for helping Naruto recover. Are you Naruto's girlfriend?"

"Uhm? Yeah! Well, that's more or less it.." Naruto mumbled.

"Shut up! Save your energy!" Sakura yelled hitting Naruto's head.

"You look like you already knew about this."

"I felt his chakra when I was in Kyuubi mode. The  others are coming too."

With that said the three Hokage jumped down.

"You're as fast as always, Minato!" Sarutobi said.

"Fourth, your shunshin is better than mine." Tobirama complimented.

"We shall begin!" Hashirama said excitedly.

"T-the third Hokage!? And that's.."

"The first and second Hokage...and the third and even the fourth, Minato!"

"I see, so it was the Hokage who stopped that attack! Who used Edo Tensei on them?!"

"Orochimaru summoned us. We must stop this war." Sarutobi answered.

"More are coming. Though they're a bit late." Naruto announced.

"I was waiting for you! Hashirama!" Madara shouted.

"I'll take care of you later! I'll stop the Juubi first!!"

"Heh, you're always the same. I really can't get along with you."

"Well, it's dashing here.."

"Naruto, you did well....rest for a while. You're friend is coming too...and he's on our side. I see that your Kira friend is here also." Minato said.

"I've been here this whole time though." Mariah said.

"Hokage's..let's go!" Hashirama shouted.

In a second Minato activated his own Kyuubi form.

"Second, third, come before me."

"Did you already do the marking?" Sarutobi asked.

"Yes,"

"You're quick to act." Tobirama said.

In a flash they were gone then a red barrier formed around the battlefield.

"A red barrier?" Lee gasped.          

"That's even stronger than the Shishienjin. Only four people of Hokage level could do it!" Gai explained.

In a second Sasuke appeared in front of Naruto along with Juugo.

"You're pretty late, Sasuke!" Naruto said.

"Hmph, way to be late." Mariah said.

Sasuke looked over to Mariah seeing Tadashi holding onto her. Jealousy washed through Sasuke but he ignored it for now. Everyone looked over at Sasuke not believing what they're seeing.

"Sa-sasuke-kun!" Sakura gasped.

"Eh Sasuke-kun!" Ino shouted.

"Hey Ino! Stop! He's our enemy!" Shikamaru scolded.

"Ino...you shouldn't get close to him." Choji agreed.

"He's on our side guys," Mariah said getting out of Tadashi's grasp and walking towards Sasuke.

"You're as noisy as always." Sasuke said.

"Why are you here!? Bastard!" Kiba said.

"Why did you come here?"

"Many things happened....but I decided to protect the village and I will become Hokage."

Everyone had a look of shock on their faces while Mariah had a completely different one.

"Yeah right, a long time nuke-nin suddenly shows up and starts saying jokes! Do you even understand what Hokage means!?" Kiba shouted.

"I don't know what happened to you, but that's impossible. Do you think that.." Shikamaru started.

"Do you think that you can just erase all you did so far?" Shino finished.

"Yeah, I know I can't. But I don't care what you think about me. The Kages created this situation. I'll become Hokage and change the village."

"I'll be the one to become Hokage!" Naruto said getting up.

"I'm happy that we have so many Hokage candidates, but you're taking it too easy! Prepare your chakra! We must defeat that with a combined attack!" Hashirama shouted.

"Thank you for healing me, Sakura! You should rest, now. Let's go, Sasuke!"

With that said the Juubi roared and thrashed causing rocks to break and the ground to shake. Sasuke and Naruto stood before the beast prepared to fight. Both Sakura and Mariah appeared next to them.

"Do you think I'm just a weak woman that can't compete with you? Tsunade-sama trains her disciples as good as the other sannin. It's almost done, I've almost stored the necessary chakra. Soon I'll be able to use my real power. I'm also a  member of team 7, and a disciple of a sannin." Sakura said.

Naruto smiled his famous smile.

"Hey don't forget me. I was also trained by some Sannin. I'm also part of Team 7 and you'll need all the help you can get." Mariah chimed in.

"We'll show them our power!" Naruto shouted.

Team 7 stood on a cliff all together finally together after so many years. Mariah looked at her three team mates as joy filled her. This is how it was suppose to be. Her team no friends, battling evil together. The Juubi then shot off another bomb towards the Allies.

"Predecessors! Let's get ready for this!" Minato shouted.

"I know!" Sarutobi said.

"Let's see."

The Juubi's bomb was getting closer and closer. Everyone braced themselves for impact. An explosion was heard but nothing happened. Everyone looked up to see a barrier surrounding the Juubi.

"What a powerful barrier, not to let that pass!" A samurai said.

"It's not an easy barrier to create!" Hashirama said.

"W-wow..the first and the others were really amazing people!" Naruto praised.

"Apparently it wasn't just a rumor." Sasuke said.

Hashirama then made his wood clones scattering them around the battle field.

"I will create an opening on the four sides of the barrier for shinobi to enter it! Come with me!"

Everyone leaped over Hashirama as he and his clones took care of the Juubi.

"We can still go!"

Suddenly Madara appeared in front of Hashirama's clone.

"Fine, I'll be your opponent. Sorry for making you wait, Madara."

"No, a clone is too boring. I'll wait until the real one comes out."

The real Hashirama caught the Juubi into a trap creating an opening.

"Now!" He commanded.

Everyone dashed for the beast but it started to disperse escaping the trap.

"It's splitting up. It doesn't want you to get to its main body."

All the mini Juubi headed out into the field heading towards Team 7 who were in the front of the Allies.

"Don't be scared!" Naruto shouted.

Mariah smirked as the five headed towards her. Just when they were close enough she activated her shield which through them off sending them a few feet back. Not wanting to waste chakra, she merely used taijutsu against them. Sensing Sakura, Mariah jumped back to Naruto's side. Sakura came flying down and punched the ground with her strength causing the ground to shake and smoke to fly.

"What a monster. That might be worse than Tsunade." Hashirama said.

"I also don't need to use it to look younger!" Sakura shouted.

Unbeknownst  to Sakura another clone was emerging from the smoke. Just as it was about to attack both Sasuke and Mariah swooped in killing the beast.

"Sasuke!" Sakura shouted in delight.

"I'm here too Sakura," Naruto said while in his Kyubbi form.

"Yeah Sakura, Sasuke wasn't the only one who saved you." Mariah said.

All four were back to back in the fighting form they were taught to do when they were genin.

"Don't get in my way Naruto." Sasuke sneered.

"Yes! If you're busy fighting I'll snatch the Hokage seat!" Sakura said.

"Eeehhh Sakura too?"

"This time we'll go back to back!"

"Am I the only one on this team that doesn't want to be Hokage?" Mariah questioned.

"Yeah," They all replied.

Both Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other analyzing the other's ability. Mariah took notice how they were staring at each other.

"Sorry to interrupt your little staring contest but we're in the middle of a war here." She said.

"There's no way we're losing to team 7! Naruto! Don't think that you're the only one that can use this skill!" Kiba shouted while making a shadow clone.

"You've only got one extra! Even from back then, I could still....."

"Just because I've got one extra doesn't mean three times the power. Watch this! Come here Akamaru! We're going to crash into the enemy."

"Jeez, we're in the middle of a war and they're all competing. This isn't a competition boys! Lives are at stake!" Mariah shouted irritated.

Kiba then turned into Akamaru fusing together forming a three headed dog beast. They jumped twirling in the air barrel rolling into the Juubi clones cutting them in half. Shino inserted bugs into the Juubi which made more come eating its way out.

"That's disgusting! What's up with that!?" Ino shouted in disgust.

"Summoned giant bugs. If you give them the wrong amount of chakra, they would eat through flesh and grow rapidly and those born through parasitism are the hardest bugs." Shino explained.

Hinata cut right through the clones with her 64 fist palms easily taking them out.

"We, the Inoshikachou combination of team 10 will also be going!" Ino announced.

"Formation E!" Choji shouted.

"We didn't even bother competing before, seeing that it wasn't even the chuunin exams but it's a war now." Shikamaru said making his shadow possession seal.

Choji began to increase in size as Shikamaru's shadow connected to his. Ino placed a hand on Shikamaru's head connecting their minds. Choji  shot off in his human bullet towards the clones destroying them all. As the clones were about to attack Ino and Shikamaru, Choji came barreling back destroying them too.

"Man they've got so many awesome formations when all we have is majii formation. If only we had more time together to strategist these." I complained to the rest of the team earning glares.

"I'm gonna double up even more! I'll be a lot heavier but can you guys deal with it?"

"Yeah, that's still light actually. Plus, it'd be a shame if that's all it took for our highlight scene."

"What are you talking about! Aren't you just burning with competition!"

"Hey, I'm actually a part of team 7 too, you know." A voice said from above.

Everyone looked up seeing Sai on his bird high in the air.

"Sai!" Naruto shouted.

Spears were shot from the clones hitting Sai's bird making him fall. Naruto extended his arm to catch him.

"Are you alright?"Naruto asked.

"Naruto, can you still give the others chakra?" Sai questioned.

"I can't do it now! I haven't save enough of Kurama's chakra!"

"You need to mow down the big ones first and slip close enough to beat it's true form. That's the only way. It isn't close enough for you to jump at one go...there's enough time for us to repel the enemy's attacks and cast some seals. But unless you have sufficient chakra.. you might suffer severe wounds. The healing group can't make it up front."

"That's no trouble," Sasuke said.

"In addition to jumping and getting closer in one go, I'd have to avoid his attacks. This guy sure packs a punch!" Naruto smirked.

"I'm all ready here for healing if anyone gets server wounds." Sakura said.

In a puff of smoke they summoned a slug, a frog, and a snake. They all stood on top of their summons.

"Hey that's not fair! I didn't learn how to summon anything!" I pouted. (I think she didn't. Did she? I really can't remember.)

Not wanting to be left out, I jumped to Sasuke's side on his snake.

"So not fair." She grumbled.

I saw Sasuke smirk at my child like behavior but it wasn't fair. Out of all the years training,no one has taught me how to summon.

"You are.." Naruto said confused. "Gamakichi!?"

"Dad is busy, I came in his place! Are you surprised?"

"No I mean you got huge! Your growth is more shocking than Akamaru's!"

"You humans are too slow. By the way, what's the matter?"

"Yeah! Can you see that huge thing over there? Get close to it with one jump!"

"Do you mean the biggest one?"

"Go, Aoda!"

"Jump, Gamakichi!"

"Please, Katsuyu."

Katsuyu dispersed into smaller visions of herself while Gamakichi jumped and Aoda attacked the mini clones.

"Oh I know what to do!" Mariah shouted.

She closed her eyes focusing and summoned her paths.

"Ryu, Soma, Kiyo, Kaku, Kura! Attack the Juubi and Protect the shinobi!" She commanded.

"Yes Sir!"

"Yumi! Summon a tiger for me!"

"Yes ma'am."

A huge puff a smoke appeared revealing a giant white tiger.

"Thank you, you may join the others." She said with a satisfied smile.

Along with Sasuke, Mariah helped destroy the clones. Mariah drew her blade lashing it out and electrocuting the clones while Naruto used his Rasengan and Sasuke used his Susano. Sasuke's Susano shot an arrow while Naruto threw his Rasengan aiming for the Juubi. They collided striking the Juubi dead on. Sasuke's black flames enflamed the beast.

"Burn it down." Sasuke said.

"Sakura, can I ask you something?" Sai asked. "Since I don't know him well, I can look at him more objectively. I can't trust him as a friend. How do you sincerely feel about him, Sakura?"

"It's ok, Sasuke finally came back. I'm happy he did and I trust him."

"The bijus are inside that big thing too! When its weakened enough put off those black flames! Kurama and I will take out the Bijuus!" Naruto shouted.

"No, I'll burn it down." Sasuke said.

"Hey! Sasuke!"

As it was burning, the part of the Juubi that was burning fell off.
