70 Forcing Black Zetsu's Hand Part 2

Kibo started to explain why Yagura needed to stay "First of all the next Mizukage will be the one to end the madness of the Kiri traditions, she is a competent, trustworthy leader, and if you return she will go unnoticed." Yagura's shoulders dropped down, "But, I didn't even get to tell her how I feel, I only got to experience a week being the Mizukage before Madara used his Gen-Jutsu on me."

Kibo patted his back and asked, "Who was she?"

Yagura sighed and said, "A childhood friend of mine, her name was Mei Terumi."

Kibo's cheeks puffed up, and he tried to stifle his laughter when he couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted "You have a thing for the Godaime Mizukage! That woman I spoke of is Mei."

Yagura's jaw dropped, and when he thought back to her unique talents, he had to agree that she would make a good Mizukage. "This is great." Kibo said as laughed a little "After you become an Immortal you can reunite with her and confess then, I'm sure she won't mind." Kibo said pointing at him, "Alright I think it's time to introduce you to your fellow Jinchūriki." Kibo had shown Yagura to the same estate Yugito was living in, when he looked at his house he asked, "Who is Isobu?"

Kibo laughed and watched as the three-tailed beast answered "My name. I have listened to this boy's story and you should know he spoke the truth about my father and his wish for world peace. So I think he was telling the truth about the age of immortals."

Yagura shouted, "Wait! How come you didn't tell me you had a name?"

Isobu responded with, "You never asked."

Yagura then sighed before saying, "Great well at least humankind has a common enemy now."

Kibo gave him the same offer he gave Yugito and Yagura agreed to see the benefits living here would bring. When a clone arrived with Yugito who was busy using the training grounds below. She hardly ever came out, she was quite obsessed with improving her Chakra levels, and she couldn't get enough of obtaining new affinities.

When the two met their minds were taken to separate space that only the tailed beast had access to as long as they were close enough to each other. Yagura and Yugito were standing in the vast infinite space before them, only the tailed-beasts were in cages.

Kibo had been brought along as well; apparently, they could invite people they trusted in as well, which would explain how Naruto could speak to all of them at the same time. This space was made by Hagoromo in case they ever wanted to meet with each other and was stabilized by a mental link they all shared.

"Don't you think it's time to remove the cages, I'm sure that they will choose to stay. I guarantee you a willing tailed beast is far stronger than a caged one, and the benefits that it brings to the host are even better.

The two hosts looked at the seals over the cage and smiled as they placed their hands over the talismans covering the cages. Yagura smiled and said, "Let's get along Isobu."

Yugito looked at Matatabi and said, "I think we can be friends from now on."As the two were freed from their seals, they chose to accept their current Jinchūriki's as their official host, Kibo returned to reality to see a tailed beast sage mode similar to that of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode, but with different colors and patterns, Yugito's was purple with black flaming marks running through it, while Yagura's was Green and had bits of red lines forming through his Chakra outfit.

Kibo nodding his head in excitement said, "Once I gather all nine of the Jinchūriki here I will bestow a technique to create a world similar to the one we were in earlier, it will allow both the continued growth of both the tailed beasts and their hosts."

The tailed beasts were overjoyed when they heard this, as were Yugito and Yagura; he turned to Konan and Pain while creating a ship out of his Chakra he pointed to it and said "Get on, with Akatsuki taken care of, I can drop all the pretenses and search out the tailed beast and offer them a good home."

The two stood on the ship as Kibo was directed in which way Nagato's real body was. Konan was still a bit suspicious but Nagato insisted on taking this chance, if he could revive his family and friends then he would pay any price, even serving someone he hardly knew.

They arrived at a secluded hilltop within the land of Fire's territory, Kibo recognized it from the comic and smiled, it was quite a distance from Konohagakure, but within a day's travel for people at Jonin level.

Kibo entered the cave to see the withered body of Nagato, a number of black receivers were embedded into his back and his bones could be seen under his darkened chipped skin, he was sitting in a mechanical walker that was operated by his Rinnegan.

"Man you look terrible!" Kibo stated as he handed over the pills, Nagato made them float over to him and he swallowed them without hesitation, his body started to glow as the pills began working their magic. His bloodline and Madara's fused together and as a result of the eyes that Madara gave him, truly became his own.

The first thing to recover was Nagato's red hair, his body then pushed out all the control rods and bulked up to a healthy state, the mechanical walker fell to pieces as Konan ran to his side to catch him. However, Nagato had no problems walking now, as his body was even stronger than it was before.

Nagato looked at Kibo in amazement when Kibo started preaching "I heard the Akatsuki once stood for trying to make the world a greater place. It made by a group of Shinobi that existed outside the usual system of hidden villages. Over the course of several decades, Akatsuki took different forms and was led by different individuals, but their goal has always remained the same; to create a better tomorrow."

Kibo looked Nagato in his eye and continued "I want you to try one more time, to revive the Akatsuki to their original purpose, and serve my village as it's police force." Nagato and Konan bowed to Kibo when he smiled and said "Now come on, let's get out of this place." grabbing them by their wrist he swapped places with a clone returning them to the fortress.

"Nagato, feel free to train here now, also if you find someone suitable to join your faction just make sure they aren't psychopaths like Hidan and Kakuzu. I can probably reason with Deidara and Sasori, Gengo was out of the question too, as he really is nothing more than a megalomaniac." Kibo said as he took a breath and continued "Is there anyone else I'm missing?"

Nagato nodded his head and said, "Yes, Orochimaru, and the new guy Hiruko." Once Kibo heard this name a deep killing intent shrouded the area "I really hate that Snake, why is it so hard to kill him? And Hiruko is a no go either. He killed Karin, I'm sure Shion won't let him live either."

The two looked confused as Kibo said, "Tell me where they are!"

*********************************

A few hours earlier when Kibo severed Black Zetsu's connection to Obito he began to understand something went wrong with his grand scheme, he was sitting across from the giant tree that had Madara and the Hashirama wood clone fused into it, "You must have died a hundred times or so, yet that tree keeps you tied here. I was hoping to return the beasts to mother, but it looks like I'll have to move on to plan B."

The Black Zetsu summoned a large group of white Zetsu's and made hand sign that turned them into nutrients to heal Madara's eyes, once the Rinnegan was reformed a White Zetsu was given a strange radiant green crystal that had glowing white roots were growing inside of the fist-size stone.

Orochimaru and Hiruko were standing next to the Black Zetsu as he explained. "This is solidified energy gathered from the roots of the God Tree, the life force of the millions of humans Kaguya sacrificed had gathered a large portion of energy at their roots, but it had been cut down before it could process it and turn the vital energy into another God Fruit. Some people in a foreign continent have found a way to solidify the God Tree Dew and turn it into what they call Stone of Gelel. Our mission will be to gather this Dew and use it to revive the Ten-Tails."

The White Zetsu possessed Madara's body and made the hand signs for the Saṃsāra of Heavenly Life Technique, a beam of light appeared as a giant head appeared from the ground surrounded by fluctuation purple energy, the King of Hell opened its mouth as the Stone of Gelel and the White Zetsu was sacrificed a soul appeared out from it and flew into Madara's body.

The entire tree was sucked into his body along with the wooden Clone of Hashirama, only this time there was no face on his chest as it was a perfect fusion. The Rinnegan Sharingan appeared as he opened his eyes. He looked to the people in front of him and snorted "This isn't right, why have you revived me so soon?"

The Black Zetsu looked to Madara and said, "Things have changed, we have to switch to plan B."

Madara walked forward and saw the two previous members of the Akatsuki and said "Remnants of the Leaf. Hashirama would be crying in his grave."

Orochimaru smiled and said "No need for being in the grave. Hashirama has been resurrected too, by a technique that isn't derived from the Rinnegan's power."

Madara grinned "Ohh! Really! It appears we'll get to fight once more, old friend." Madara started to laugh maniacally as he put on his battle armor and grabbed his fan.

"You two follow me now." Orochimaru and Hiruko were about to list their demands when the wheel on his eye rotated, Madara had completely taken over their bodies. Unfortunately, these weren't the real versions of their bodies, Madara laughed and said, "Well two puppets at the power you have aren't bad either." With that said he took off in the direction of the fallen God tree.

********************************

Orochimaru and Hiruko were sitting in a cavern with disappointed looks on their faces, but they had already gotten what they came for, while they helped Black Zetsu revive Madara's eyes by altering the white Zetsu with his genes, they managed to get some of his genetics. That and they kidnapped a small army of white Zetsu's, hoping to get any additional stuff was just wishful thinking on their part.

*******************************

Meanwhile, Kibo who was moving at high speeds inside his Chakra Ship had a strange premonition as he felt something was off. He shook off the weird feeling and continued traveling alongside Shion, they were headed to Orochimaru's hideout with a strong desire for revenge oozing out of their aura.

Kibo and Shion were looking to kill, and nothing would stop them, Kibo sped up as they shot across the Horizon closing in on the location given to him by Nagato.

Kibo was thinking of letting Orochimaru live, because of him inadvertently bringing back the previous Kage's and their wives, Tsunade recovered her brother from his grasp and he did play an integral role in Mitsuki's development; but there would be no mercy for Hiruko, Kibo intended to set his victims free.

*******************************

Elsewhere an old man was leading a pair of siblings to a remote location in the Land of Bears, when he arrived at what he thought would be his clansmen's village, turned out to be a deserted graveyard. He ran to where the Hoshi Treasure was supposed to be kept and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Konoha, nothing better have happened to my clansmen." The old man grunted as he gazed off in the direction of Konohagakure.
