As Naruto directed Kurama to let all the citizens of Konoha see them.
The 5 people behind him chatted.
"What a strong presence." Tsunade said as she continued to grin.
"Indeed." Tobirama agreed. Naruto has become a monster beyond anyone's expectation. He had heard from Black Zetsu about how strong Naruto was but he didn't expect that it was this much. He was even stronger than his brother when he was in his prime!
Meanwhile, Jiraiya and Hashirama laughed out loud "Looks like the war will be an easy one this time!"
Hashirama patted Jiraiya as he laughed and grinned "Didn't you hear? There will be no war!"
"You're right, Shodai Hokage! Hahaha! My bad!"
Hiruzen, who was on the side, simply smiled as he looked at the back of Naruto, seeing Minato's silhouette in him. Breathing out smoke from his pipe, he thought 'Minato… Your son has grown up well. You don't need to worry anymore. Even if I didn't take care of him, he would have taken care of himself somehow.'
As Naruto, Haku, and Kurama were visible to all the people on the bottom, chattering was heard.
"Who's that? Blond hair… Did Tsunade-sama have a child?! And what's he riding? Why is its fur orange all over?"
Smack!
A ninja smacked his head as he scolded "Bakayaro! Although he has grown up, don't you think you should recognize him? The creator of the [Elemental Guardian Formation of Heaven and Earth]?"
"What? It's Naruto-sama?"
A ninja's face paled as he said "Wait! Isn't that the… nine-tailed fox?!"
Another ninja nodded his head and bragged as if he was the one who did "No wonder Naruto-sama had trained for 2 years straight! He tamed the nine-tailed fox!"
Although a majority of them looked in wonder to who he was there were a few that recognized him.
Shikamaru chuckled and said "Looks like he's returned. This war might be our easiest."
Sasuke also grinned as he saw him and his eyes reflected battle intent as he thought 'How strong has he gotten?'
Without even speaking, the people of Konoha looked at Naruto in admiration and cheered.
"Naruto-sama!"
"Naruto-sama!"
"Naruto-sama!"
Naruto who was behind Haku chuckled at this sight and said "Look, Haku. Your husband is so popular."
Haku rolled her eyes at his bragging and replied half-heartedly "Yes, yes."
Naruto shrugged and dismounted Kurama and exuded his presence to everyone and calmly said "Quiet."
The people in the surrounding immediately quiets down at his word. His word exuded his strength, conviction, and authority as if he was a god that had descended to the mortal world.
Naruto chuckled as he took back his presence and said as he enhanced his voice with [Wind Sage Chakra].
"No one will be going to war."
His words left the citizens of Konoha in confusion before he continued.
"Because… I alone am enough!"
His words echoed in the surrounding as he once again let his presence be felt without pressure.
The ninjas and citizens looked at him in excitement as they heard his words while Sasuke and Shikamaru grinned as they sweated.
They both thought the same thing 'Strong!'
Another set of cheering went on.
"Naruto-sama!"
"Naruto-sama!"
"Naruto-sama!"
Haku smiled seeing Naruto's presence that was like a god.
While Kurama chuckled at this sight. Never, in his wildest imagination could he have imagined that he would stand side to side with such a character, especially a human.
Naruto jumped up and landed behind Haku who was sitting on top of Kurama and said with a smile "Well then? I'm off. I'll see you guys in a few hours!"
Using [Flying Thunder God Jutsu] he teleported himself, Haku, and Kurama near the battlefield as his clone scouted.
Swish!
As they teleported, they were teleported 10 minutes away from the battlefield. As they arrived, Naruto instructed "Go! Kurama! Fly that way!"
Kurama snorted "Don't order me around!" but followed the instructions anyway.
Boom! Swish!
Naruto teased "Tsundere."
"Shut up!"
Haku chuckled at their interaction but she couldn't help but ask "Naruto?"
"Hm?" Naruto wondered what Haku would like to ask.
Haku continued "Your strength is the result of 'Ascended Sage Mode' right?"
Naruto nodded and replied at Haku who was looking back "That's right. Why?"
"Can I do it too?" Haku asked in excitement. As Naruto had succeeded maybe she could do it too now?
Naruto thought for a bit before nodding and worriedly said "It's possible since I can support your evolution now but you would go through intense pain."
Haku nodded and felt happy at Naruto's worry but activated her Sage Mark to [Ascended Sage Mode]. "I can bear it. I don't want to be a burden to you. So let me."
Naruto was worried but he nodded and said "Alright."
This was Haku's wishes, although he was overprotective and all. She could do what she wanted.
Haku leaned back to Naruto's chest and said "Thank you." Before tilting her head and kissing him.
Kurama irritably replied "Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop flirting while I'm around!"
Naruto and Haku were startled but looked at each other's eyes and chuckled at Kurama's reaction.
Naruto observed the energy within Haku's body and saw that there was Wind and Water that mixed with each other. She was planning to become a bonafide Ice Sage.
Judging by her current energy mixture it'll happen in about a week making Naruto frown and ask "Did you use 'Ascended Sage Mode' a lot? The process of transformation is faster than mine."
Haku with a wry smile nodded as she expected him to notice. With his god-like abilities it was a piece of cake for him to notice and replied "I had to. It was war."
Naruto hugged her body and said "I see…"
As Naruto reached out for her boo…
Kurama annoyingly said again "Hey! I said stop that or I'll drop you here!"
Naruto complained "Do you have eyes at the back of your head or something?! How do you even see us?!"
Kurama snorted "Fuck you! I said stop it so stop it!"
Naruto clicked his tongue and stopped it.
Haku chuckled again "Sorry, Kurama. I'll make sure you're not around next time to see us."
Kurama grinned and nodded in satisfaction hearing Haku's words of comfort. "At least you're reasonable unlike that brat."
Haku scolded Naruto who was behind her trying to defend Kurama. "Naruto! Leave that when Kurama's not around. He had probably been single for a few hundred years so you have to understand."
Kurama's lips twitched as he thought 'I thought you were reasonable! Fuck you too!'
Naruto simply laughed out loud as he didn't know whether Haku didn't notice or was just playing dumb that she was ridiculing Kurama herself but replied subserviently. "Yes, yes. I'll listen to you."
Haku nodded in satisfaction while Kurama thought 'Forget it. What'd I expect from someone who ended up with him? Of course they'd be the same.'
Kurama flew at a faster speed so he could get rid of these two from his back.
Kiri-Iwa Alliance location.
Sensory ninjas on top of sensory ninjas sensed Kurama's chakra and said in panic "R-Ra-Rai…"
Before he could finish, the Raikage got annoyed and yelled at them "Speak clearly!"
"Y-Yes! Raikage-sama! Something is heading from the north! Its chakra reading is much higher than B-sama's tailed beast!" The representative replied clearly while the others nodded with a pale face.
"What?" Raikage asked but snorted "It might be the jinchuuriki of Konoha. I thought it was weird that they had him hidden in Konoha but I guess they were planning to reveal him now. They said they wanted peace? Peace my ass! Prepare for battle!"
The sensory ninjas nodded but watched the Raikage step to the podium along with the Tsuchikage.
"Onoki! Heard that?!"
The current Tsuchikage nodded and replied "Of course I did! I'm old! Not senile!"
The Raikage snorted but headed to the podium along with the Tsuchikage. In sync, they shouted "Prepare for battle! The enemy's trump card is coming! As long as we can defeat him, the enemy's alliance will be greatly weakened!"
"Haaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!" Their morale was driven to the top in expectation of winning the 4th great ninja war.
The Raikage looked at Killer B who was taking notes for his rap in annoyance and kicked him "You! Prepare too! You bastard!"
Killer B dodged and said "Bakayaro! Why are you so grumpy! I'm the perfect jinchuuriki! I'm always ready! Oh… that rhymed… notes notes…"
The Raikage snorted and replied "You better be! Intercept and fight with the nine-tailed fox!"
Killer B who kept his notes in his pocket replied "I got it brother!"
Kurama who was ridden by both Naruto and Haku grinned as he sighted the enemies and formed a tailed beast bomb in his mouth.
Naruto sighed and said "You're too excited, Kurama."
A sensory ninja said in panic "B-sama! It's a tailed beast bomb!"
Killer B replied as he got ready "I know! Bakayaro! Partner! Let's go!"
Gyuki replied "Yeah!" Although Gyuki was worried as it was the nine-tailed fox that was stronger than him, he at least had to put up a fight.
The ninjas spread out in order to make way for Gyuki's transformation.
Killer B who transformed into the eight-tailed beast also brought out a tailed beast bomb from his mouth and swallowed it at the same time Kurama swallowed it.
And boom!
Two big tailed beast bombs exploded as they hit each other.
"Woah!" Naruto commented and said "Looks like the eight-tailed beast is as strong as you, Kurama."
Kurama was offended and grumbled "Bakayaro! I held back!"
Naruto grinned and teased "Is that so?"
"Get the fuck off!" Kurama struggled but Naruto carried Haku in his arms as he jumped from his back and shook his head "How irritable."
Haku chuckled and said "That's because you keep teasing him."
Naruto laughed and replied "Why not? Teasing him is fun."
"Yup. That's exactly what I meant."
