Shiroken waved his arm at the giant snake that had just appeared. He knew this snake, he knew all the snakes of Ryuchi cave. He lived with them for a good amount of time after all.
"Oh, hello, Manda. When did you take up a summoner? I thought you said you will never allow yourself to be bound by a summoning seal." Shiroken asked.
Manda's eyes were wide open. It was funny seeing this reaction on a snake. Manda quickly turned to Orochimaru, "You want me to fight him?"
Orochimaru was unsure if he could trust his summon anymore. He just nodded his head slightly. *BAM*
Manda slammed his tail on Orochimaru, injuring him. "ARE YOU RETARDED? I am not a fool, why would I fight Lord Dama? He's a friend of all the snakes of Ryuchi cave... and the White Snake Sage treats him like her own kid. That's it, I'm ordering you to break the contract at this very moment. Or I will kill you."
Orochimaru cursed his luck. There were so many blades pointed at his throat today. Shiroken and now his own Summon. He knew Manda, the snake was brutal and would really kill him.
So he unwillingly tore the summoning contract. After making sure he was free, Manda scoffed, "Huh... I wish you good luckā¦ That your death is painless."
He turned to Shiroken, "Lord Dama, come to Ryuchi cave sometimes. The White Snake Sage would like to see you again."
"OYE OYE! I'm here too..." Tenken shouted from the sword.
Manda snorted, "Huh, you don't even exist in the real world. Why should I acknowledge your existence?"
Somewhat offended, Tenken barked, "BASTARD, I'M YOUR FATHER! DID YOU FORGET IT?"
"Hmm... I haven't seen you for the past 300 years so I don't even remember how you look. I thought you were dead... Then the White Snake Sage told me you were locked in a sword." Manda said distastefully.
"Kid, I was wrongfully punished. Anyway, how's your mother? Does she still miss me?" Tenken asked longingly.
Manda rolled his eyes and responded, "No, she's with someone else now actually. In fact, she's been with 3 different guys since you disappeared. I even have 30 more siblings."
Tenken was speechless for a second, then he cursed, "F*CK!"
"Yeah, she does that a lot I guess," Manda replied.
Shiroken, who was hearing all this felt awkward. "Manda, you go back now. I don't want Tenken to be more mentally disturbed, he's already on the edge of sane and crazy."
"Fine. Kill this Orochimaru, Lord Dama. He's a monster in human skin. Tsk... Always hated this guy." Manda might have some personal hate added in there but Shiroken believed he was not far from the truth.
*POOF*
Tenken disappeared, now Orochimaru was terrified. Shiroken raised his arms towards him. Instantly a few roots came out from the ground and held him on the spot. "So, what trick do you want to use now?"
"L-Lord Dama, we have no animosity. Why kill me? I-I can actually be of help to you." Orochimaru tried to sell himself.
"No, you still killed the Kazekage. Although I thank you for doing that, the villagers might not like it. So, I will present you to them and gain their adoration. *BAM*" A few metal chains came out of the ground and tied Orochimaru completely. This was one of the many sealing techniques he learned from the Bijuu as well as many members of the Uzumaki clan of Dama Country.
"Now stay silent, I will take you with me later." He warned him and turned to focus on the Senju brothers.
~Hmm, they have destroyed the statue to some degree. They are certainly powerful for humans.~ He muttered. Out of 1000 hands, about 600 had been destroyed by now.
"If this goes on, they can probably save half of the village." Shiroken deduced. He didn't really interfere in their fight. Hashirama wasn't able to use his Senjutsu even when he tried since Shiroken had diverted all Natural energy in the area to only flow towards him.
To Shiroken, all this was boring. There was nobody who could really challenge him at this point. All he wanted to do was focus on his mission of uniting the world.
So he went to Hiruzen and handed him a piece of thick paper. It had some words on it. "Dama Construction Company? What is this?" Hiruzen asked.
"Well, after all this, you're going to need some really competitive and amazing builders. We have a company that builds the best and the most beautiful infrastructure. You can hire them." He explained.
Hiruzen felt a lump stuck in his throat. ~He destroyed us, and now wants to earn money by rebuilding it?~
But afraid of angering him, he kept the business card. Shiroken then started blabbering about various things. "Hmm... I wonder if I can find some mind manipulation ninja technique somewhere. Maybe I will check the Konoha ninja scroll storeroom."
Hiruzen wanted to cough blood when he heard this. The worst part was, even if he tried, he couldn't stop him. This made his resolve stronger, ~We must get together and kill him.~
"I know you're thinking about getting together with the other Kage and kill me? Haha... don't look at me like that, it does not take some jutsu to tell this from the look of your face. However, I guess I do need some stretching. I will allow you to spar with me, all four of you." Shiroken offered.
This shocked Hiruzen, but also excited him, "Jiraiya can also join."
"Sure, why not? I need to give him a beating for turning out to be such a pervert." Shiroken replied as if nothing really mattered.
...
"Dad, you also made friends with Lord Kurama?" Naruto asked Minato. Both of them were sitting on the terrace, ignoring the destruction going on around them. Minato would have jumped to fight if he was not warned by Kurama.
"Lord Kurama? Is that what you call him?" Minato asked.
"Well, he's very grumpy most of the time and told me to call him by this. OH! WAIT! I need to speak with the old man." Naruto quickly ran to Shiroken.
To the other's shock, while most were cowering in fear by his presence, Naruto just ran up to him and shouted, "OLD MAN! LORD KURAMA WANTS TO TALK!"
Shiroken's brows twitched, "That's good and all but I'm not that old... Well... Not by my standards. Do you still get free ramen?"
"YOU BET! If I was to become a Chunin today they would have stopped. But I guess... With this condition of the village, the exams are nullified." Naruto didn't know whether to feel good or bad. On one hand, free ramen was amazing, but not becoming a Chunin was also harsh.
"I guess you must try again next year. Right, now let me talk to Kurama." Shiroken kneeled to Naruto's height and put his palm on his forehead.
"Long time no see, Kurama." He spoke.
There was a sudden silence. Kurama was probably going through a waterfall of emotions right now. "Yeah, it's been a while. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, SHIRO!"
"Hehe... Just wait a bit more, I'm going to get you out," Shiroken assured him. He didn't want Kurama to be away anymore, he'd rather hug the fluff once again. Truly, he missed sleeping on Kurama's furry back. It was the best bed.
"I can't wait. And I like what you did with this place. The village needed some real restructuring." Kurama was being sarcastic.
Shiroken chuckled, "Hehe... What can I say, I learned from the best. Okay, I will deal with everyone, then we'll get to joining you with your other half."
"Fine with me." Kurama had already waited for years, what was a few hours now?
Shiroken ruffled Naruto's hair, "Good job making friends with him. I guess you really are Minato's son. Stay back now though."
He looked at the Giant statue, now it didn't have any hands and was half the size. He feared the people would notice the Senju brothers were trying to stop the statue, so he made it stop and return to him.
Hashirama and Tobirama were taken aback but realised it must be Shiroken's work. So they waited for the statue to return.
"You have given us your word that you will not meddle." Tobirama started.
"Calm down, I'm not meddling. I am giving you a chance. You two, Hiruzen, Minato and Jiraiya, all of you can fight me, alone, at the same time. Hiruzen hopes to defeat me this way." Shiroken offered them.
Tobirama felt hopeful, but Hashirama's face didn't change much. He still felt that beating Shiroken would not be possible. However, if doing this can stop the giant statue, it was good.
"Where do we fight?" Hashirama asked.
"Umm, let's head to the desert in Sunagakure. Minato, you have a shuriken there probably. Please help your team to reach there. I will be waiting." He ordered them and flew in the air.
The four gathered together, and soon called Jiraiya too. Then they started to strategise together. Though the least participating was Hashirama.
Then before leaving, for the last time they looked at Konoha. There was only half of it left. A huge cloud of dust had covered it and now the statue was nowhere to be seen.
"This... Pains my heart." Hashirama sighed.
*ZZZIP* They disappeared.
[A/N: The reason why Minato is still helping will be explained in the next chapter. Basically, it is about him being an ex-Hokage.]
