~Soutarou POV~
'Strange what was that feeling..? Is something bad about to happen…? I'd better warn Naori and Tsunade that there might be a complication.'
Soutarou quickly mentioned his gut feeling to both Naori and Tsunade who had wrapped up their makeshift camp and both glanced at each other before Tsunade commented, "If that's the case we'd better hurry, while we still have a chance."
Naori nodded her head and narrowed her eyes grimly in worry before muttering, "For someone as strong as you Souta-chan… To feel something off… That means something is truly wrong."
The trio instead of wrapping up burned the evidence and made haste towards Iwagakure in a mad dash with Soutarou's body lighting up with Lightning Chakra Mode after the trio all transformed. Soutarou then created nearly a hundred wood clones that transformed into varied darker skinned shinobi and spread out aiming to break through the barrier rapidly.
The group blitzed through the mountainous region of the Land of Earth in extreme speed picking off squads of Iwagakure shinobi in a sweeping manner rushing straight towards Iwagakure itself.
After nearly an hour of dealing with squad after squad Soutarou now in the appearance of future Fourth Raikage Ai blitzed through the not yet physical barrier of Iwagakure as his body lit up in a bright blue glowing coat of blue chakra.
The shouts of Iwagakure Ninja rang out as they questioned and ordered Soutarou to stand down as their ally before the image of dozens of supposed Kumogakure ninja rushed straight through the gap Soutarou's main body had drilled in their outer physical wall.
Soutarou's main body, Tsunade, and Naori led the charge. With Naori using lightning style with elegance and her sword to hack through the human wall of Shinobi that was piling, Tsunade who crudely just punched out over and over again sending blood flying in each direction. All while Soutarou's clones used the opening created by Tsunade, Naori, and the main body to take out as many Iwagakure shinobi as possible.
Each clone displayed different levels of strength on purpose, avoiding revealing their full capability yet each still worked in perfect unison at the Jonin level, making the defending Iwa grimmer and grimmer as large combination jutsu continued to bombard them.
A group of Iwa shinobi led by an Elite Jonin managed to form up and tried to use 'Earth Style: Great Moving Core.' only to get interrupted by a stronger Clone of Soutarou's who was cosplaying as Darui letting out a black lightning or rather yang style infused flood of lightning that disrupted the Iwa shinobi's control over the earth.
All before Soutarou's other clones jumped the rest…
~Tsunade POV~
Meanwhile at the forefront, a weaker clone of Soutarou's snuck up towards Tsunade or rather 'Samui' and loudly said, "Lady Samui! We'll hold off the Iwa ninja. You must make a break towards the Tsuchikage building! Lord Raikage will not accept failure. For Kumo! For the Land of Lightning! For the Raikage! For the Will of Lightning!"
Tsunade looked at the clone in genuine confusion of whether Soutarou was a Kumo ninja or a Konoha ninja before nodding and leaving her opponents to a mass of Kumo 'Jonin.' Tsunade exploded outwards in a burst of chakra letting out a ringing, sonic boom beyond her as she turned into a human bullet with her fist cocked back and in one motion she reached the Tsuchikage Office before she punched outwards with such force she was sent skidding backwards.
Instantly a semi-forming defense barrier around the Tsuchikage office collapsed and she made her way in…
~Naori POV~
A clone of Soutarou's arrived behind 'Mabui' or rather Naori in disguise and said softly, "Lady Mabui. It's time to commence the plan. Begin your assault of the Iwagakure great clans. We'll take over here. For the Cloud!"
Naori looked back and nodded and said, "For the Cloud!"
All while in Naori's mind she thought,
Naori glanced around before heading to the district closest to the Tsuchikage building and rushing over with heads falling where she landed. She moved like an elegant leaping feline, with grace, and without much sound. Jump to jump without wasted movement, any who tried to stop her found their bodies far from their heads, before passing on to the pure world.
Naori glanced back at the now smoking Tsuchikage building before looking at the clan grounds in front of her.
Naori's eyes glinted before she quickly dealt with all the guards and smashed through the forming up barriers with raw bursting chakra that she smashed outwards similar to Tsunade's original monstrous strength before making her way towards the clan's central region…
~Soutarou POV~
'Looks like those two made their way in… Unfortunately it looks like I got stuck with drawing their aggro…- Hmm…? These chakras…? Iwagakure still has qualified people in reserve?'
Soutarou frowned and narrowed his eyes before speeding up and disappearing from view of all the Iwa ninja before reappearing where the massive chakra was.
'Ahh… The Jinchuriki. No wonder I hadn't seen them on the battlefield. Well this makes things easy. I was looking for these two after all.'
A red armored and shaded hatted man asked gruffly, "Why is Kumo attacking us? Are you insane?"
Before another more crass voice jutted in, "There's no need for words Han. They've attacked so we retaliate. These greedy bastards attacked the moment that bastard Onoki left."
The larger red armored figure said, "Roshi… Do not be so crass when mentioning Lord Tsuchikage. I understand your distaste of him. But now is not the time. For now let's work together and deal with this man-"
Soutarou interjected and said, "Have you discussed enough between yourselves… Jinchuriki of the Four and Five tails?"
The two men narrowed their eyes and Han said, "If you know we're the Jinchuriki and you still dare engage us then you must be ignorant beyond words. Retreat now with your troops and this offense can be dealt with after the war with Konoha."
Soutarou chuckled and laughed maniacally before saying, "You poor bastards don't know do you? Hahaha!"
The two Jinchuriki exchanged a glance before Han questioned cautiously, "What do you mean?"
Soutarou replied, "Your campaign already failed. Your Tsuchikage was in Konoha's hands… Until we sent a small death squad to blow him and parts of the Konoha camp up, devastating them and those troops you idiots sent. Those Konoha dogs retreated the moment they lost Onoki. From this day forward… Konoha's era ends… and the Era of the Cloud begins!"
The two Jinchuriki's eyes widened and the pair's eyes hardened before Han said, "Is that so…Then you'll be the price we extract from Kumo for this grave mistake!"
Soutarou's smile deepened before four clones appeared out of nowhere and created a deep violet barrier.
Han's eyes narrowed and he said, "Do you really think this will hold us? And trapping yourself in here with us? You must be a fool."
Soutarou's smile got deeper before another barrier obscured the outside world as well as what was going on within the barrier. Soutarou's transformation dispelled as all sensory and visual cues of what was going on inside were completely blocked.
The pair's eyes widened and they grimly stared at Soutarou before Soutarou said, "Kumo? Who said I was here for Kumo's sake? Let your two villages fight each other like the rapid dogs you are… As for me… I'm here to recollect what Grandpa Hashirama left within you two… Konoha is a gracious village as long as you hand over the tailed beasts I won't bother destroying the rest of the village. Fail to do so… and I might just accidentally destroy the school, afterall I imagine school hasn't ended yet… The hospital… Or perhaps… Your homes…? From what I hear you have a very pretty girlfriend or was it… Roshi-san?"
'Absolute nonsense if this shit is true… Then maybe its time to start an organization called the Shadow Garden-'
Roshi gritted and said, "You bastard! You'd kill children? HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY WIFE! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"
Soutarou deadpanned and thought, 'The kids are still at school?!?! Wait, he has a wife? Huh…'
Soutarou put on that face of "I know it all, I understand it all." While internally, 'I seriously don't get this… Anyways… Time to put these two to sleep.'
Soutarou now tired of exchanging words with these two just clapped his hands and massive trees shot out of the ground before strangling the pair and sapping their chakra instantly before Soutarou began forming handsigns to seal their respective tailed beasts.
Han and Roshi both roared and let out immense amounts of chakra with Roshi lighting up with Magma in what Soutarou assumed was 'Magma Style: Chakra Mode.' While Han burst with boiling water all around him rushing towards Soutarou in partial tailed beast mode before Soutarou just sighed and shook his head before a straight tomoe pattern along with a swirl appeared and his eyes turned blood red. He glanced at the closing in Han and immediately Han froze up and became unable to do anything before Soutarou just tapped him and his tailed beast energy dissipated.
Roshi saw what happened and turned his eyes downwards saying, "You damn Uchiha and Senju mixed evil child!"
Soutarou shook his head and said, "I'm truly sorry… As for my threats I really didn't mean them in all honestly, I just wanted to make this easy on myself… Dealing with Jinchuriki is a speciality of the Uchiha and Senju clans… Why else do you think we caught nearly all the tailed beasts back in the day? And another thing…"
Roshi suddenly felt an immense yin chakra attack his chakra attack his chakra network and he tried to disrupt his chakra, but then he felt a dozen vines wrap around him and begin to absorb the flaring chakra. Roshi snapped his eyes shut and continued to disrupt his chakra all while Soutarou said, "You really think that closing your eyes against someone like me will have any effect? Naive. Truly naive. Genjutsu works all the same. Through sound, touch, taste, smell, and of course sight… People just assume looking into someone's sharingan is the only means to use it. That's partial and mostly correct…"
"However… You can also project the Yin chakra into someone else's network just like this."
Roshi's body went slack and Soutarou slammed his hands into his abdomen and Roshi's tailed beast chakra dissipated.
'Yin chakra projection… I'm guessing that's how Shisui will do that long distance genjutsu nonsense in the future… While I haven't truly understood it nor do I have anywhere near even a three tomoe member of the Uchiha Clan's mastery of the Sharingan Genjutsu… I do have an abundance of Yin chakra… which can also just be used for Genjutsu in general. Plus I wasn't really using my Genjutsu to affect the tailed beasts, I was using it to disrupt them and then seal them…'
'So I've still got a ways to go… Thankfully… If I really have to, I can just use Tsukiyomi.'
'Anyways lets grab this monkey and this water donkey and get this over with.'
"Oi Son Goku. Kokuo. I know you can hear me. Listen I'll let you out of your hosts for now, if you behave I won't restrain you for now. But if you misbehave I'll put you to sleep with a giant wood release human just like my grandfather did. As for permanent freedom… We'll see, but I promise at worst your new hosts will be better than your old ones."
Tailed beast chakra surged from the two jinchuriki only to be restrained by the seals before Soutarou rolled his eyes and undid the seals holding the two tailed beasts before creating a clone to release it at the same time as his main body. Both Han and Roshi instantly died the moment a large Red Monkey with Four Tails and a White Horse with Five Tails were released from them.
The two tailed beasts cautiously stared down at Soutarou before he said, "Don't ask how I know your names. Now… Either you can stay inside of this barrier freely for a bit or you can get inside of this pot."
Son Goku, the large red monkey said, "Isn't that a Gourd though?"
Soutarou narrowed his eyes and the tailed beast put its hands up in surrender as both could feel the absurd amount of Chakra that Soutarou had, easily surpassing both of them together. Soutarou then said, "I'm going out for a bit, don't run off or I'll catch you and feed you to the nine tails or even drag down that damn husk from the moon and return you to it."
Kokuo's voice softly echoed, "How do you know this human?"
Soutarou pointed to his eyes and said, "See these eyes…? So… Yeah I saw the tablet in the Uchiha Shrine..."
Both tailed beasts eyes narrowed and they sat down with Kokuo bending her four legs and sitting down and Son Goku just plopping himself onto the ground and saying, "...Damned Demon Hashirama…"
Kokuo pitifully let out a whimper while thinking,
Then at the same time both Kokuo and Son Goku pitifully looked skyward and thought,
Soutarou internally laughed while he continued to mess around with the now docile tailed beasts. He thought for a moment, 'These guys are quite pitiful aren't they? Haahhhhhhh…. Fine, I'll let Son Goku live on my tailed beast ranch freely… But Kokuo's getting stuffed inside Kushina, maybe Tsunade. I think only Kokuo and Matatabi are not masculine… Kokuo's more feminine, albeit a bit androgynous. But Matatabi is definitely a girl. And…'
'Do you really think I'd like a guy to be stuffed inside of one of my girls?!?! No way! Though now that I've thought about it… I think Kokuo fits Tsunade more… Kushina's more like a dumb cat like Matatabi and I think they'll get along pretty well. Anyways~.'
Soutarou glanced around before making a decision as his eyes glinted.
