----------------------------
"So, what should we do, Hokage-sama? We have to stop them from completing their forbidden jutsu?" Hiashi remarks.
"But how should we stop them? Attempting to overwhelm them with numbers will only cause more casualties if they decide to drop that thing on top of our shinobis." Fugaku frowns as he argues against sending shinobis.
"We can't even sit back and watch them finish whatever they are doing, either!" Inuzuka clan leader argues.
The clan leaders are struck with a dilemma. Only Fugaku has a calm expression on his face. A few moments ago, he received a message from Itachi and Sasuke about the situation.
He has uttermost trust in the capabilities of his sons. His sons have already surpassed him a long time ago.
"Let's leave the situation to the younger generation. We will take action if they fail." Fugaku points towards the visual feed where the members of In-Yō confront the members of Akatsuki.
Kakashi is confronting a Black Zetsu clone.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi! This isn't an opponent I can handle on my own." The Zetsu clone frowns.
'However, the jutsu is almost complete. I have to just buy a few minutes. It's even worth it to sacrifice this clone.'
The Zetsu clone enters inside the ground to seek an opportunity to sneak attack Kakashi.
At another location, Might Guy confronts Sasori.
"The Noble blue beast of Konoha is here to kick your ass." He enters the battlefield while spinning in mid-air.
'Who is this idiot?' Sasori silently stares at Guy's antics.
"Never heard of you!" Sasori shakes his head. He is using his 'real body' to confront Guy. Previously, his Hiroku puppet was destroyed during the Uchiha clan attack.
Guy enters into a Taijutsu stance and cautiously stares at Sasori's movements.
'I will test the waters with him.' Sasori takes out a scroll from his robe.
Poof…
With a puff of white smoke, the third Kazekage puppet appears in front of him.
'I have made some adjustments after the previous defeat. This time, I will get my revenge.' Sasori recalls his bitter defeat at the hands of Fugaku Uchiha.
At the other corner of the village,
Naruto confronts Kakuzu.
Hmm…
Kakuzu inspects Naruto's face and tries to recall his figure.
"You aren't even worth killing, kid. There is no bounty on you. Send an adult to fight me or does Konoha degraded to such an extent that a kid has to step forward to defend it?"
The face of the clan leaders turns red as they lip-read Kakuzu's and Naruto's conversation.
"I alone am enough, Dattebyo!" Naruto takes a battle stance. He cautiously inspects Kakuzu's movements.
Sigh…
Kakuzu takes a deep breath and shakes his head in regret.
"Looks like the shinobis of Konoha have forgotten the terror of my name. I fought against the First Hokage and survived. Do they truly think a kid who is still wet behind his ears can stop me? Very well, this will be a lesson for you all?"
Kakuzu claps his palm and makes some hand signs.
"Let the lesson begin!"
At another corner of Konoha,
Sasuke face against Hidan. He recognizes the latter from the records left behind by Izuna.
'So, this is the immortal member of Akatsuki? He can't be killed even after being chopped to pieces. I wonder how Amaterasu will fare against him. Also, I have to avoid getting hit by his blade and prevent him from taking a sample of my blood.'
Slick…
Hidan licks his scythe and curiously inspects Sasuke.
"A young brat from Konoha! I thought they will send more people to fight me. Am I not that well known in the Five Nations? Well, it's kind of my fault too, since I killed everyone who fought against me. Haha…"
Hidan laughs sheepishly and slung his scythe on his shoulders.
"Kid, be grateful for your pathetic life since soon you will be an offering to the Great God, Jashin."
Hidan closes his eyes and prays to Jashin before the start of the battle.
'Izuna Nii-san was right! All these Akatsuki members have one or two loose screws.'
Sasuke unsheathes his katana to battle Hidan.
--------------------
At another corner of the village,
Deidara is sitting on top of a boulder with the Magatama bead floating above his head. He pats the head of a clay wolf as he glares at the giant levitating planetary sphere above his head.
"Man! The leader sure is scary. To be able to create such a gigantic rock. What would happen if he drops it on something? That would be a cool scene."
He imagines the picture of this hill-sized dropping on top of a village.
"My upgraded C0, no, the ultimate art C0 will probably create a bigger explosion. Speaking of which, this is so boring! How long will it take? I have yet to blow anything in the past few weeks. My body is craving for some explosion. That red-eyed bastard is also here. This time I will blow his body to atoms."
Schink…
A sensory alert flashes past his body.
Whoosh…
He immediately jumps from the top of the rock.
Bang…
A lightning blade cleanly slices through the boulder.
"Phew! I was almost chopped in half."
Swish…
Another lighting blade flies toward the Magatama bead at an extremely high speed.
"Damn it!"
The clay wolf swiftly jumps in front of the lightning blade and blocks it with his body.
Bzzt…
The lightning blade slices the wolf and stops in its tracks. Itachi slowly walks out of the forest.
Tap... Tap... tap...
"It's you! YOU!"
Hatred appears in Deidara's eyes as he recognizes Itachi. He recognizes the red eyes that looked down on his art a few years ago.
"Haha… Kuhaha…"
He burst out in a fit of laughter.
"And here I was thinking of looking for you after dealing with the Konoha. But you came to me of your own free will. This time… I will return the humiliation I suffered that day by ten… no hundred-fold."
He removes the visor from his left eye to reveal a glowing red eye.
Shiing…
The tomoes in Itachi's Sharingan revolve as he inspects Deidara's chakra signature.
'His chakra signature is almost the same as the previous time. Only his chakra reserves have improved slightly. However, what's with his eye?'
A void of chakra appears around Deidara's left eye. Except for a glowing red dot, the Sharingan is unable to see anything.
Hmm…
He adjusts his 'Eye of Insight' to take a closer look at the peculiarity of Deidara's left eye.
'It appears to be some kind of mechanical prosthetic transplanted in his left eye. I can't see anything besides that.'
"You… you are looking down on me again, right? Those eyes… they are judging my art again." Anger appears in Deidara's eyes.
"Die C1!"
Deidara waves his hand and sends a flock of white clay birds and insects toward Itachi.
BOOM… BOOM…
The clay birds explode around Itachi, raising a cloud of dust and debris.
"Die! Die! DIE!"
Deidara continues to send wave after wave of explosive clay birds in Itachi's direction.
Schink…
A sensory alert jolts through his body.
Whoosh…
Deidara swiftly turns around and spews out a clay centipede from his mouth.
Clang…
The clay bird blocks the kunai aimed at his throat.
"You can't fool me with the same trick again!" Deidara's left eye narrows to reveal Itachi.
"Genjutsu doesn't affect me anymore." The clay centipede wraps around Itachi.
"Now, explode!"
BOOM…
"Seriously, man, why do I have to be so unlucky?" Another white Zetsu clone stares at the figure of Shisui slowly approaching him.
"Why it has to be Shisui Uchiha, the teleporter of all shinobis? I can't even run if I want to it."
'His Hiding in the Earth like a mole technique is quite advanced. It has been the seventh time I have fished him out of the earth.
' Shisui silently stares at the White Zetsu clone.
'Once he enters the ground, I can't even sense his presence; much less chakra. It feels like he has become a part of nature when he enters the ground. The only way to lure him out is by attacking the chakra orb floating orb of chakra.'
Shisui clicks his tongue in annoyance. After assessing the situation, he concludes.
'I can't directly just destroy this chakra orb. Once I destroy the container, it will detonate like a bomb and destroy a major portion of Outer Konoha. Then there is also this massive floating hill-sized rock. If I cut its chakra supply, the rock will just fall to the ground; devastating the surroundings in the process. Either way, it's a loss for Konoha. The only way to stop it is to seal it. But sealing it requires some time and preparation.'
He enters a standstill with the white Zetsu clone.
'I will take care of him first.'
Shisui makes up his mind and gives up on any attempt to interrupt the jutsu.

Poof… Poof…
Multiple clouds of white smoke rise on the battlefield.
"Is it the time you are about to make a choice, Jiraiya boy?"
Fukasaku walks out of the white smoke alongside Shima.
"So that's one of the children of prophecy from the previous generation?" Shima stares in the direction of Deva Path.
Fwoosh…
A gust of wind clears out the white smoke from the battlefield.
"This is going to be a tough battle, hebi!" Gamahiro unsheathes his twin blades as he confronts the Rinnegan summons.
The animal path has summoned a wide variety of his summons. Its summons includes a giant drill-beaked bird, a giant multi-headed dog, a giant snake-tailed chameleon, a giant panda, a giant ox, a giant rhino, a giant crustacean, and a giant centipede.
"As clumsy as I am, I will try my best during this battle!"
Gamaken unwraps his giant Sakazuki shield and Sasumata from his back.
"Oye Jiraiya! After this fight is over, you better treat me to some of the fine booze with your money. I want no less than a hundred barrels." Gamabunta unsheathes his giant dosu blade and holds it in his hands.
"The price is non-negotiable!" He points the blade toward the Rinnegan summons.
"It's my second time looking at the eyes of the Sage, but its power is still as incredible as ever." Fukasaku caresses his beard as he inspects the Rinnegan.
"Second time?" Shima and Jiraiya turn to him.
"Ah… that was a slip of tongue! My memory has all turned hazy with old age. Don't mind my words." Fukasaku waves his small wand to dismiss their doubts.
'I am sorry Izuna-boy! I almost blew your cover.'
Fukasaku recalls his last encounter with Izuna.
-------------Flashback-No-Jutsu--------------
"Izuna boy! Why do you want to meet me alone with the Great Toad Sage? Baa must be looking for me for dinner." Fukasaku holds his walking stick as he enters the Toad temple.
"So, where was I?" The Great Toad Sage slowly opens his eyes.
"Izuna-boy wants to say something very important to us. He asked me to be a witness so as to not reveal the content of our discussion to any fourth person." The Great Toad Sage replies to Fukasaku. He turns to Izuna and nods his head.
"Great Toad Sage, Grandpa Fukasaku, you two must have heard about the Sage of Six Paths, right?"
"I do!" Fukasaku nods his head.
"There are a few relics from the era of Sage of Six paths still stored in our treasury."
"No… let me rephrase my words!" Izuna turns to the Great Toad Sage.
"The Great Toad Sage must have even met the Sage of Six paths!"
"Huh!" Surprise appears on Fukasaku's old face.
"This senile old geezer never told me anything about it!" He harrumphs at the Great Toad Sage.
"Aah! I do have a memory of it." The Great Toad Sage slowly opens his eyes.
"It was a long time ago. I used to be a young, rash toad back then. I met Hagoromo boy back then and taught him the Sage Arts. He was very talented in it, just like you Izuna-boy!" The Great Toad Sage nods his head in approval.
"Wait, really? You used to be young. Even according to my grandfather, he always saw you as an old senile geezer. Wait, that's not the point? Old geezer, you meet the Sage of Six Path and taught him Senjutsu. And Izuna boy, how do you know about it?" Fukasaku turns to Izuna.
"Well… it's a long story, but I met with the Sage of Six Paths and he told me his story." Izuna blames his knowledge of the past on Hagoromo's gossip.
"You met with the Sage of Six Paths. No, the Sage of Six paths is still alive!" Fukasaku clutches his heart.
"My feeble old heart can't bear these many shocks in a day."
"No, the Sage of Six Paths is already dead. I only met his soul." Izuna shakes his head.
He turns to the Toad Sage.
"Great Toad Sage, you must have known about the reason for Sage of Six Path's death, right?"
Mm…
The Great Toad Sage nods.
"Hagoromo boy's soul and chakra possess a very superior quality. However, his body was still that of a human. In the end, his body was unable to sustain his powerful soul and chakra. He eventually found a cure in Redaku. But that was a temporary solution, in the end, Hagoromo boy succumbed to his mortality." The Great Toad sighs for the first time.
"Redaku! Isn't it the name of that desolate place cut off from the rest of the world? The flow of nature energy and ley lines is very chaotic at that place. As such, it's almost impossible for a normal person to ever reach that place. How come such a place has a cure for the diseases which even the Great Sage of Six Paths struggled against?" Fukasaku's surprise intensifies.
"I am not sure about the details, but that place has an intrinsic quality that stabilizes the harmony between soul and body." Izuna shakes his head.
"Izuna-boy! What does all of this have to do with you?" Fukasaku has a foreboding feeling as he stares into Izuna's eyes.
Sigh…
Izuna sighs helplessly.
"It has everything to do with me!"
Shiing…
He removes the genjutsu covering his eyes to reveal his Rinne-Sharingan.
"That… that eye…" Fukasaku and the great toad Sage's eyes widen in surprise. For the first time in a millennium, the Great Toad Sage vacates his sitting place and crawls toward Izuna.
"That… that's… a Ri… Rinnegan?" Fukasaku mutters incoherently.
"The Rinne-Sharingan? Izuna-boy, why do you possess such a cursed eye?" The Great Toad Sage walks in front of Izuna and inspects the latter's eye.
"There is… there is no doubt about it. It's the same eye as the Kaguya Otsutsuki. No, your eye even seems to be a bit more powerful than hers!" The Great Toad sage's murky eyes glare deeper into Izuna's eyes.
"You must have already found the connection by now… it's the Otsutsuki bloodline!" Izuna replies to the great Sage.
Sigh…
"That accursed bloodline of so-called gods from the old records!" The Great Toad sighs and returns to his seat.
"Izuna boy, could you explain everything to the old me? Is your eye a Rinnegan or is it something different? It does look similar to Rinnegan from legend, except for the tomoes in your eyes." Fukasaku is unable to hold back his curiosity.
'At this rate, my old heart might not be able to take this much information. I will feel upset if there is no baa to bicker with me in the afterlife.' Fukasaku takes a deep breath.
"Old Grandpa Fukasaku, my eye is called Rinne-Sharingan. It's the ancestor of Rinnegan. Or you can say it's the higher form of a Rinnegan, just like how a Sharingan evolves to Mangekyo Sharingan which later evolves to Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and then to Rinnegan. I am a special case since I skipped a few steps. My Sharingan directly awakened Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which then later evolved to Rinne-Sharingan." Izuna reveals the origin of his Rinne-Sharingan to Fukasaku.
"Old geezer was right; you really are a child of destiny!" Fukasaku shakes his head.
"Grandpa Fukasaku, I am not done yet. Hear me out first!" Izuna picks up Fukasaku in his hands and places him on his shoulders to look into his eyes.
"Now I am about to reveal some of the abilities of Rinnegan to you. This knowledge might help you in the future." He stares directly into Fukasaku's eyes.
"But Izuna-boy, you are still there with us!" Fukasaku argues.
"But what will happen if I am not here?" Izuna cuts him off.
"Izuna-boy, don't tell me, you…"
"Yes, that's right! I am also suffering from the same diseases as the old man Sage of Six Paths. I even went to Redaku to search for a cure. I was only able to buy myself five years after all these efforts. And now, I am only left with six months. My soul and chakra are too powerful for my mortal body, and I am barely holding myself together." Izuna closes his eyes and releases a sigh.
'This is one of my failsafe for the future, in case things turn for worse.'
Sob… sob…
Tear leaks from Fukasaku's eyes.
"Izuna boy!" Fukasaku grabs his shoulder and bowls his eyes out.
"Wait… wait… Old man! Don't dirty my new dress. It's a gift from my wife. She will kill me if I damage it."
Waah… waaah…
Fukasaku cries even louder, covering Izuna's clothes in green snot and tears.
"Damn it, old geezer! I am still alive and it's not certain I will die after six months. I might find a cure somewhere else." Izuna pushes Fukasaku away from his shoulders.
----------------------------
Fukasaku wipes a tear from the corner of his eyes and focuses his attention on the battle.
"Jiraiya boy, Baa… Gamabunta, Gamahiro, Gamaken… carefully listen to me! I have a method to counter the abilities of Rinnegan."
