Chapter 221

Title: Things Brewing in the Dark...

….

Yami in the end sighs and suppresses his feelings of melancholy. His eyes harden as he sends his clones knock out his children and take them to safety. 

He takes a deep breath and disappears in a dark flash. 

….

But while Yami was going to join the Allied Shinobi Forces, in a dark cave with only a simmering candle as a source of light. In the darkness was a man leaning against the walls of the cave. He has long dark hair, snake-like eyes with purple eye-shadower, and very pale skin. 

It is Orochimaru, he is alive and healthy. He was 'killed' by Sasuke. But he too learned something from Yami. You must always have at least five countermeasures for any situation, he never predicted that Sasuke would betray him. Well, at least not at that time. 'But I guess I never knew Sasuke 100%.... well it doesn't matter anymore.'

Suddenly a swirl appears on the space in front of Orochimaru, he doesn't react at all as Obito comes through it. "Well… I never expected you to be alive Orochimaru, I for sure thought that you were dead."

Orochimaru chuckles at this. "Huhuhu... true, because that is what a certain man to be thinking. I haven't been out of this cave ever since I was revived."

As Orochimaru says that Obito doesn't joke around at all either. He knows that against Yami you can never be too sure. 

"Why did you call me here Orochimaru? I am currently in the middle of a war. I don't exactly have a lot of free time." Says Obito, his lone Sharingan behind his orange mask staring straight at Orochimaru. His late experience with death at Yami's hands has made him smarter and not to arrogantly think himself invincible when intangible. But he knows best that Orochimaru is nowhere near Yami, and that isn't him being careless, he is just simply stating a fact. 

"I am not asking you to trust me. I am just saying that we have a common enemy who is stopping us from reaching our goal." Says Orochimaru, his snake-like eyes get a cold light on them when he says. "Yami Inuzuka has to die, he is too dangerous and… I can give you the tools to defeat him."

Obito seems intrigued by Orochimaru when he says that. "Hmmm… and what would that be?"

Orochimaru's face morphs into a creepy smile. "When I fought against the nine tails Jinchuriki, I summoned the three previous Hokage… but due to a sneak attack I couldn't open them and the bodies are currently in Konoha."

<Edo Tensei>

Poof!

And a coffin appears...

Clank!

The coffin opens and it reveals someone inside. Obito's eyes widen at this. Orochimaru sees and an arrogant smirk appears on his face and he then goes through dozens of more hand-signs.

<Summoning Jutsu: Edo Tensei>

Poof!...

Dozens of more coffins appear and they each open up revealing certain people. Orochimaru then looks at Obito and says. "How does this seem, I spent the last month gathering these all… do you think that this will be enough to deal with Yami?"

Under Obito's mask, a smile adorns his face. "Yes… YES, IT IS!!!"

While this was happening, Yami on the other hand. Had teleported on the front lines and saw the ninja fighting against tens of thousands of White Zetsu. What seems to be troubling them is Zetsu's ability to copy the look of ninja and even their chakra signatures.

He sees that Naruto, Kakashi, and many others are fighting against Zetsu. But even they are having difficulty as the Zetsu disguise as their allies and none of them can sense anything.

Yami on the other hand just looks at this and shakes his head in disappointment. 'It seems like I should interfere.'

<Byakugan>

Veins appear on his forehead… immediately he can see everything within fifty kilometers (~31 miles) but not only did he see them, but he also in a way can 'see'  their feelings. Immediately he notices the Zetsus…

<Dark Lightning Armor>

Yami's body is surrounded by dark lightning and he disappears. Immediately he takes the heads of thousands of Zetsus within seconds. His natural speed amplified with dark lightning armor pushes his speed to something that is not comprehended by any ninja in this battlefield. Even the Raikage couldn't see anything.

But that didn't last long as the one minute mark was hit, all of the Zetsu's had already died by Yami's hand. He looks at the army and sees their surprised looks… he doesn't say anything. Usually, he would try to get some glory for himself to raise his reputation or something like that. But Yami didn't care about such things anymore. 

"What are you looking at, go and prepare for the next battle!!" Orders Yami, leaving no room for questioning. They immediately scamper away and Yami teleports next to Naruto in a flash. "Naruto… I need to talk to you."

He puts a hand on Naruto's shoulder and disappears in a dark flash together with him. 

….

They are teleported back to Yami's private Hokage tent. Naruto looks around confused by all of this. But Yami has a no-nonsense look on his face. "Naruto… I need you to get control over the nine tails… or else you are pretty much useless in this war."

Naruto seems confused by this and he is about to ask Yami a question but as he looks up he sees two strange patterned Sharingan looking back at him.

"Yes Yami, I will do it. Don't worry…" Says Naruto, not questioning Yami anymore as he makes a shadow clone one of his, which will help Naruto learn how to take control of the Nine-Tails, while the Oroiginal is away.

….

….

Just like this tomorrow comes, Yami didn't get a wink of sleep because first, he doesn't really need to sleep with his immortalized conscience, and second, he has many things to take care of. His natural reserves dropped to below 50% as he was up all night making shadow clones in order for them to take care of some things. But even though the chakra cost was high, he was able to make tens of thousands of shadow clones, each of them with its own mission.

Yami himself was also in his own little super-secret mission. A certain mission that only he himself could do, he couldn't leave such delicate things on the hands of his clones.

But as he was teleporting around…

Poof!

In a giant poof of smoke, dozens of coffins opened open up. Revealing dozens of strong people, previous Jinchuriki, the four previous Kage from different villages, some members of the Akatsuki, and even the previous seven ninja swordsmen were here. Yami looks around him and asks. "Well now… it seems like I am quite popular with so many people coming to party with me."

They were all Edo Tensei of some of the strongest people this world has seen.

Yami tries to see if hiraishin worked… but it didn't…

Yami can't help but contemplate. 'Someone really smart must be up to this… someone was actually able to create a Fuinjutsu formula to stop my Hiraishin. Well now…'
