Two Paths (Sequel to Why Me)

Team 7, finally together

With that said the three Hokage jumped down.

"You're as fast as always, Minato!" Sarutobi said.

"Fourth, your shunshin is better than mine." Tobirama complimented.

"We shall begin!" Hashirama said excitedly.

"T-the third Hokage!? And that's.."

"The first and second Hokage...and the third and even the fourth, Minato!"

"I see, so it was the Hokage who stopped that attack! Who used Edo Tensei on them?!"

"Orochimaru summoned us. We must stop this war." Sarutobi answered.

"More are coming. Though they're a bit late." Naruto announced.

"I was waiting for you! Hashirama!" Madara shouted.

"I'll take care of you later! I'll stop the Juubi first!!"

"Heh, you're always the same. I really can't get along with you."

"Well, it's dashing here.."

"Naruto, you did well....rest for a while. You're friend is coming too...and he's on our side. I see that your Kira friend is here also." Minato said.

"I've been here this whole time though." Mariah said.

"Hokage's..let's go!" Hashirama shouted.

In a second Minato activated his own Kyuubi form.

"Second, third, come before me."

"Did you already do the marking?" Sarutobi asked.

"Yes,"

"You're quick to act." Tobirama said.

In a flash they were gone then a red barrier formed around the battlefield.

"A red barrier?" Lee gasped.          

"That's even stronger than the Shishienjin. Only four people of Hokage level could do it!" Gai explained.

In a second Sasuke appeared in front of Naruto along with Juugo.

"You're pretty late, Sasuke!" Naruto said.

"Hmph, way to be late." Mariah said.

Sasuke looked over to Mariah seeing Tadashi holding onto her. Jealousy washed through Sasuke but he ignored it for now. Everyone looked over at Sasuke not believing what they're seeing.

"Sa-sasuke-kun!" Sakura gasped.

"Eh Sasuke-kun!" Ino shouted.

"Hey Ino! Stop! He's our enemy!" Shikamaru scolded.

"Ino...you shouldn't get close to him." Choji agreed.

"He's on our side guys," Mariah said getting out of Tadashi's grasp and walking towards Sasuke.

"You're as noisy as always." Sasuke said.

"Why are you here!? Bastard!" Kiba said.

"Why did you come here?"

"Many things happened....but I decided to protect the village and I will become Hokage."

Everyone had a look of shock on their faces while Mariah had a completely different one.

"Yeah right, a long time nuke-nin suddenly shows up and starts saying jokes! Do you even understand what Hokage means!?" Kiba shouted.

"I don't know what happened to you, but that's impossible. Do you think that.." Shikamaru started.
