-3rd Hokage vs 3rd Raikage-

"Something is wrong … they couldn't have known about the kyuubi project, would they?" thought the Sarutobi clan head.

He always wore a gray shinobi battle armor with heavy protection all over his body that were commonly used in the first shinobi war, but today he started wearing a black jumpsuit, mesh segments over his limbs and a grey gauntlet that covered his right arm. Deciding to use light armor to increase his speed and maneuver ability, essentially when fighting someone specialized in speed like the 3rd Raikage.

Without delaying Hiruzen bit his thumb before started doing quick hand seals before heading towards the battlefront.

[Kuchiyose no Jutsu] A long-time companion of Hiruzen, Enma is fiercely loyal to Hiruzen, although he didn't always approve of his actions

Enma's body and tail is covered by white fur which protrude from his sleeves and pants. He has long unkempt white hair that reached his back and long sideburns and a goatee. He wears a black suit with mesh armor underneath, over which he wears a sleeveless kimono-shirt with white fur trimmings, and markings reminiscent of tiger stripes on it, which is held closed by a red sash.

Hiruzen: [Enma my old friend, I will need your help to fight against a tough opponent.]

Enma: [You are getting old … why are you still participating in these wars?] was confused his summoner stopped being Hokage and retired but is still working.

Hiruzen: […]

Hiruzen: [We don't have enough time to talk … he is coming.] said seriously, preparing to launch a fuma shuriken that was as big as himself.

3rd Raikage: [Well, what do we have here … a retired Kage.] just arrived and didn't want to lose his chance to mock Hiruzen. He didn't answer to Raikage's mocking, Hiruzen began rotating his shuriken before sending at him.

[Kage Shuriken no Jutsu] with quick hand seals multiplying his throwing weapon. The Raikage didn't show much reaction at his attack, he simply infused lightning chakra in his body to avoid his Shuriken.

*Poof* after passing behind 4 of them removed their transformation and encircled their opponent, without giving time to react their started producing powerful streams of Fire, Earth, Lightning, Water, and Wind Release combining against the Raikage.

3rd Raikage: [It is meaningless, your attack might be powerful but they are slow.] appearing in front of Hiruzen with 3 fingers pointing at his c.h.e.s.t.

[Henge: Kongōnyoi (Transformation: Adamantine Staff)] transforming Enma into a sturdy staff to stop his attack. After successfully stopping the Raikage's advance an arm almost as if sprouting from the staff trying to held the Cloud Kage in place.

Jumping back to run from Enma's arm, Raikage once again prepared, similar to the Chidori, his jutsu can focus his lightning chakra into his fingers, creating a strong piercing effect. He can make it even more powerful by reducing the number of fingers used. This time third Raikage pointed only 1 finger towards Hiruzen.

Hiruzen was about to make successive use of his shunshin to avoid contact with him but was abruptly stopped.

"WHAT?? I can't move my body … What is this?" utterly shocked by his body sudden reaction.

Unfortunately, the 3rd Raikage wouldn't lose this golden chance, reaching his enemy and successfully piercing his heart.

Hiruzen: [G-g-genjutsu, s-ssince w-w-w-when …] he coughs blood but keep startled trying to remember when he had fallen into a genjutsu skillful enough for a shinobi experienced like him not to notice.

"That time … so they knew." Ryuji's Mangekyo was the last thing Hiruzen Sarutobi thought before forever losing the light in his eyes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Ryuji's side-

"Bee, that red headed guy has Rinnegan … you can't win, take your brother and run away." Gyuki quickly informed his partner through their connecting.

Bee: [R-R-Rinnegan!?] was startled.

Ryuji: [I see that you have a good relationship with your tailed beast or should I say Gyuki.] spoke already expecting their good friendship. Bee and 8 tails become wary hearing Ryuji speech.

Ay: [That's the Sage of Six paths eyes.] sweating even more now but he was still resolute into fighting them even without wining chances.

Ryuji: [Hm???] as he sensed Tsunade's hidden signal calling for him to deal with the revived shinobi.

Cloud Jounin: [Ay, Bee, Orochimaru of the Sannin entered our vault. All our Anbu stationed inside the village were slaughtered by him. He run away taking our ninjutsu and kinjutsu scrolls.] was out of breath and panicking as he approached Ay reporting about Orochimaru's betrayal.

"I see … Orochimaru run away but he left the revived shinobi with his command seal. My Genjutsu was cancelled … so the old monkey died or somehow he discovered and removed it." Thought Ryuji.

Ay: [Damn that snake …] was frustrated, he couldn't fight while letting his village's unguarded.

Cloud Jounin: [T-There is another thing ….] getting more pale as there is worse news.

Ay: [?? Hurry up and say it.] he was smart but too easily angered, Ay was getting annoyed.

Cloud Jounin: [Onoki, the third Tsuchikage was seeing leading an army towards our location. He seems to have paid and recruited uncountable numbers of missing nins and mercenaries.] finally finishing his reports.

Ryuji: [The Tsuchikage will not attack Hidden Leaf after what I did with his army … he is aiming for ….] said slowly showing Ay and his shinobi Onoki's real target.

Ay: [Hidden Cloud …. They are attacking us.] he gritting his teeth in anger.

Nagato: [Why don't we make an agreement.] Ay was contemplating and Ryuji was simply smiling, not worrying if war continues or stops.

Ay: [What do you have in mind?] asked while narrowing his eyes giving full attention towards the new Kage from the village Hidden in the Rain.

Nagato: [We will not interfere in your fight against Hidden Rock but …]

Ryuji: [We want your word that this useless war against Leaf will stop.] interrupting his speech.

Ay: [You just want ….. peace?] astonished by their demands when they held the upper hand in negotiation.

As the Raikage's son, Ay had studied politics and tactics, he knew that Konoha could deal a great blow at Kumo and Iwa at the same time today. He can clearly notice that Amegakure is Konoha's ally and from his father's spies that fled from Kiri, they had and Alliance with them too and will most likely come to aid them.

"If this keep on going, we will be crushed, attacked by all sides." Thought Ay. Ay became determined to keep his village and Bee safe, even if it means confining his brother's movements to the village that went against B's personal wishes.

Ay: [Very well, you have my word. I will talk to my father now to cease our fight against hidden Leaf.] as he finished talking, Ay somehow let a breath of relief, that he didn't knew he was holding till now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tsunade and Mei-

Senju Jounin: [Tsunade-sama, please forgive-me I don't have control over my actions.] showing distress as he attacked Tsunade.

*BOOMM*

Tsunade: [I know … I sent a signal to Ryu, let's try to gather them at one place and I will try to restrain all of them.] said to Mei after sending the revived Elite Jounin flying across the field with a punch.

Mei Terumi: [Okay! I will try but I can't fight in close quarters against so many Senju Jounin. Your clan has too much strength in Taijutsu] as soon as the Mizukage answered, she was attacked by a dozen of Kunai.

Mei was about to avoid them but with her keen senses she easily noticed paper bomb attached to their weapons.

[Fuuton – Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough)] spilling a wind torrent at the weapons acting as a shield, diminishing their speed and fortunately making the bombs explode midair.

[Doton - Dosekiryū] quickly running to assist Mei, Tsunade created a mud river sending four Senju shinobi sliding away from them.

Nawaki: [Be careful Nee-san.] The 13-year-old boy without control over his body, he took his tanto and attacked his sister. Even though he was still a Genin, Nawaki had great strength, adding his recovery because of his heritage as Senju and being in Edo Tensei, he was more than capable to fight against Special Jounin, but he was far from reaching his sister's level.

Tsunade dodged every single slash he threw at her but she was still conflicted about fighting against him.

[Suiton: Suiben] A water whip was aimed at the boy, tightly restraining his movements.

Mei Terumi: [You can talk to him later … be prepared I will gather them in one attack.] Tsunade just nodded in response.

[Suiton - Daibakufu no jutsu] using her great mastery over water element, Mei send a giant water wave at them, her control was absurd as she made a water vortex gathering all Senju Clansman in the middle.

[Mokuton – Jikaiheki] Wood and tree branches entangled them, restricting their moves.

Tsunade: [*Sigh* Now we need to wait for…] was relieved but before she could finish.

Ryuji: [Me?] appearing out of nowhere.

Ryuji: [Let's talk later, let me revive them and we need to regroup all our forces.] said as he went near the Senju clan members, Ryuji used his complete mastery over Kamui to remove Orochimaru command seals in their bodies.

[Rinne Tensei no Jutsu] steam coming out of the crack of their revived bodies.

Leaf Anbu: [Tsunade-sama, our esteemed third Hokage died in combat.]

Tsunade: [Let's regroup back into our main battlefield.] gave her orders.

[Follow me … I will explain everything later] Tsunade said to her fellow clan members.
