A/N: we have few milestones, one is 1 year back today was start of this story and we have crossed 200k+ words (I know it's pretty short in 1 year but I never would come this far without your support)
So, two chapters today as bonus.
~~
The Uchiha kids were making their treacherous journey towards Kumogakure, guided by Dodai, Kaien, Guren, and a profoundly guilt-ridden Jugo.
But, in the heart of Kumo, everyone present wore an unyielding expression. The Raikage broke the silence. "It's time," he said, turning his gaze toward Renga.
Beside him, Benihime looked at her husband and knowing understanding passed between them. It had been over twenty years since they last stood side-by-side in a true battle. Now, the situation demanded that ferocity once more.
Benihime drew in a deep breath, absorbing the nature energy around her as she seamlessly entered Sage Mode, the telltale markings around her face. Simultaneously, the Raikage unleashed his lightning chakra, shrouding his massive frame in a terrifying cloak of Black Lightning.
Renga's hands weaved a sequence of hand signs.
"Heavenly Transportation Jutsu!" With a blinding flash of light they vanished.
~~
Meanwhile, within the walls of Konohagakure, the tension that had been building for months had finally boiled over into an all-out civil war. Every shinobi, from the greenest Genin to the most seasoned Jounin, knew that something horrific was happening. The order had been passed down: every fifteen minutes, hundreds of fresh reinforcements were deployed to surround and eliminate the Uchiha clan.
Despite the overwhelming odds, the Uchiha stood their ground with a desperate ferocity. They fought like cornered beasts, but their numbers were dwindling fast. The sheer trauma of the slaughter took its toll, forcing the evolution of their cursed eyes; quite a few Uchiha awakened their three-tomoe Sharingan as they watched their closest comrades drew their last breath.
However, one pushed past... witnessing the injuries of her near death husband, Mikoto Uchiha felt something snap inside her mind, awakening the legendary, pinwheel-shaped Mangekyou Sharingan.
It was during that moment when Fugaku Uchiha threw himself in front of Mikoto to intercept a fatal flank while she was down.
In a coordinated strike, Fugaku's front was brutally pierced by the sharp massive horns of the reanimated Blue B in his bijuu cloak form, while the blade of the legendary Uchiha Kagami impaled him clean through the chest from the back.
Perched atop the Hokage Tower, Uzumaki Mito and Hiruzen Sarutobi had initially resolved to stay out of the conflict as it didn't warrant their presence when Danzo, Minato and many other were dealing. She wanted absolutely nothing to do with this sickening internal civil war. But suddenly, her sensor abilities flared. She froze, sensing two massive overwhelming chakra signatures that she remembered all too vividly from the last three brutal wars she had survived.
"Raikage... Monkey, we are leaving." Mito muttered, her teeth grinding in fury. The boiling chakra of the Nine-Tails mass bubbled around her, forming a dense seven-tailed cloak that cracked the floor beneath her feet.
~~
A split second later, the Raikage and Benihime materialized to see Fugaku pinned between Blue B and Kagami, his life force rapidly leaking onto the blood-stained earth.
"We can't have them dead yet," the Raikage said, his eyes narrowing at the scene as he didn't want to clan with on head which ultimately cause chaos among themselves. "Beni, if you will."
Benihime clicked her tongue in annoyance. She came here ready to tear through Konoha's forces, not to act as a back-line combat medic. Yet, she knew the strategic value of the Uchiha head. Compliance over rid her irritation, she blurred out of existence, using her Sage Mode-enhanced speed to flicker in front of the two reanimated shinobi pinning Fugaku.
She slammed her palm onto Blue B's back. An advanced sealing formula spread rapidly across him, binding his movements and cutting off his chakra flow and completely sealed. Sensing the danger, Uchiha Kagami proved why he was famed for his Body Flicker; before Benihime's other hand could secure him, he vanished in a blur of pure speed, escaping the seal's reach in fear.
"Tch... well, at least we got Blue B," Benihime muttered.
She immediately dropped to her knees beside Fugaku, her hands glowing with her unique Yang release medical ninjutsu. As she assessed the damage, her expression darkened. The injuries were horrific... organs were shredded, and the internal bleeding was catastrophic. As she poured her chakra into closing the wounds, as her senses picked up a chilling presence approaching. "Ay, Danzo is about to summon all of them."
The Raikage's gaze locked onto Shimura Danzo, who stood flanked by a terrifying troupe of reanimated guards. The line-up was a living history textbook of Konoha's greatest legends enhanced with Hashirama cells:
Hiruzen Sarutobi, The Professor.
Sakumo Hatake, The White Fang.
Uzumaki Mito, The Jinchuriki.
Uchiha Kagami of the Body Flicker.
Dan Kato, the Ghost.
Despite this monstrous line up, Danzo clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. 'This is still not enough,' he thought bitterly. 'Minato is currently frozen, and the Sannin are nowhere near the village.' It was usually Minato who retrieved Tsunade and Jiraiya from the Suna and Iwa fronts in the last 3 bouts. Without that instant mobility, he was caught flat-footed.
"Mito-san, please check on Minato," Danzo asked her.
Mito had no choice but to comply, she knew exactly how monstrous the Third Raikage was; to a man of his unparalleled durability and strength, this was just a lively training ground for him grow even stronger.
Mito flickered away towards Minato. Benihime, having stabilized Fugaku just enough to keep him from crossing the pure world, anticipated the move. She intercepted Mito mid-stride.
"Not so fast, redhead," Benihime said with a smirk.
She threw a roundhouse kick aimed straight at Mito's head. Mito reacted instantly, raising her reinforced arm guard to block the strike. Even with the defensive posture, the force of the Sage Mode enhanced kick sent Mito skidding backward.
Benihime rapidly wove a sequence of hand seals and slammed her palm onto the ground. In a puff of smoke, she summoned a gargantuan mole rat, its stomach painted with a massive storage fuinjutsu tag.
"Unseal!"
At her command, the creature regurgitated the contents of its sealed stomach, raining hundreds of weapons spread around, cluttering the terrain and to attack with any weapon. Benihime reached down, drawing her signature Naginata and slamming the butt of the staff firmly into the ground.
Mito recovered her balance. With a single hand-seal, glowing Adamantine Sealing Chains erupted from the ground, Threatening to wrap around Benihime and her Naginata.
Benihime channeled her physical strength to swing the heavy polearm, swatting away the heavy chains with brute force. However, the Uzumaki secret art was relentless. One stray chain managed to bypass her guard, hurtling straight toward her exposed back.
"Yang Release: Resonance!" Benihime said slowly.
~~
A/N: Danzo proceeds to summon the greatest legends and thinks "This is not enough."
PTSD he got from the last 3 attacks was unimaginable.They badly need Tsunade, Jiraiya and Minato.
The reason I didn't write them being already present is realistically Konoha would never know when the Raikage would attack so it is not possible to have them stay at Konoha.
