Chapter 72: Countdown

The trip out of the land of water took a while due to the weather being rough on the trip across the sea but they reach the continent and disembark in the land of tea and take a day to enter the southern border of the land of fire. They make up some lost time by rushing it and take only a day to reach the outskirts of konoha. When they arrive at the gates they pass through after saying hello to the guards and make their way to the hokage tower and arrive at the hokage's office. They let themselves in and find Kakashi reading his porn at his desk. When Kakashi spots them he closes the book and puts it away.

"Hello Kakashi sensei!" Naruto says happily

"Hello Naruto Lord Jiraiya." Kakashi says calmly

"It looks like you're on break." Naruto says with a smile

"Actually I finished early and decided to enjoy some literature. So how was your trip from kiri?" Kakashi asks with a eye smile

"We hit some rough weather that slowed down the ship that took us to the land of tea. We picked up the pace when we landed and entered the land of fire quickly to make up for lost time." Naruto says rubbing his head

"That would explain why you're a few days early in getting here. So how was your trip across the five great nations?" Kakashi asks curious

"Well it went pretty well overall we ran into some bandits and missing nin along the way but we dealt with them. As for the traveling we stopped at several smaller shinobi villages to check things out while Ame was still chaotic but the other shinobi villages are doing fine." Naruto says with a shrug

"How was your training among the other great shinobi villages?" Kakashi asks curiously

"It went great. I picked up many new jutsu and some new tactics to prepare to face Toneri." Naruto says enthusiastically

"That's excellent news as you remain our only option at this point though it seems A still will probably try the dimensional cannon on the moon if it looks like you'll fail." Kakashi says happily

"I was hoping after two years you guys would have come up with another back up plan but I guess it's not like you guys have a lot of ways to stop the moon from falling." Naruto says with a sigh

"We have you and that's all we really need since you will win." Kakashi says confidently

"Thanks for the vote of confidence but I would feel a lot better if you had a plan B." Naruto says exasperated

"Like you said we don't have a lot of options besides even if we found one, you still would remain plan A." Kakashi says with confidence

"Still sending in one shinobi against a stronger opponent without any possible support isn't much of a plan." Naruto says annoyed

"It may be simple but with it being our strongest shinobi makes it still a good plan." Kakashi says pleasantly

"I suppose you're right so how has the village been doing while I was gone?" Naruto asks with some curiosity

"It's been peaceful and calm. The repairs to the village from Pein's attack were officially completed a little more than eighteen months ago and for recovering from the war over a year ago. The shinobi are doing missions at a steady rate and haven't had many losses in the line of duty. No new major threats have appeared and only a few minor shinobi have become missing nin. Overall it's been better than I've ever known it to be around here and relations with the other villages are going smoothly." Kakashi says chipperly

"Has anything interesting happened while I was away?" Naruto asks in interest

"Not really we had several chunin exams but no one noteworthy has become chunin in them. Some shinobi decided to retire due to how peaceful things are. Felt it was a good time to start families or to spend more time with them. No noteworthy marriages either except for mine to Hanare. In fact I would say the village is in a state of boredom with nothing really to do except such things as training and paperwork." Kakashi says shrugging

"Wait! You got married!" Naruto says surprised

"Yeah happened about a year ago it was nice and quiet with friends in attendance of course." Kakashi says, showing the ring on his hand.

"I kind of figured you wouldn't settle down and just stay a boyfriend due to you having trouble moving on with life." Naruto says a little stunned

"Well after the war and getting into the role of hokage Hanare felt it was time to take that step in our relationship explaining that my teammates would want it for me. I was hesitant but she decided to not accept a no and made arrangements for a wedding anyway with your girlfriends help and had my friends force me to find an outfit and make me show up on time even though I was supposed to be several hours late to it but I was lied to and turned out to arrive on time. They pushed me to the altar and made me stay their until it was my turn to say yes to marriage. Of course being put on the spot by everyone and having Hanare staring at me with a just do it look with kunai against my dick just sucked it up and said yes she even shoved a ring on my finger and kissed me in front of everyone after tearing off my mask for everyone to see." Kakashi says, rubbing his head in embarrassment.

'You mean everyone saw your face and I missed it!?" Naruto says astounded

"Yeah it was so embarrassing and she wouldn't let me cover my face with my hands either." Kakashi says blushing

"It's not fair! I've gone through life twice without ever seeing behind your mask." Naruto pouts

"Well looks aren't everything so you're not missing anything important." Kakashi says with a shrug

"So how have the girls been doing?" Naruto asks in interest

"Well Fu was transferred here about ten months ago, the girls all moved in and expanded the Uzumaki compound. Your new girlfriends have been spending a lot of free time there and a few of the girls have been promoted to jonin." Kakashi says in thought

"Are they all in the village right now?" Naruto asks

"I know Temari is and I believe that Kurotsuchi and Karui are as well." Kaskashi says

"Good I'd like to see them about how they're doing." Naruto says

"So do you plan to go see them?" Kakashi asks

"Yeah after we're done I plan to go to the compound and call them all over to talk." Naruto says

"Is there anything of note that happened during your trip?" Kakashi asks

"Nope things went smoothly and went as planned all that is left for me to do is to prepare here for Toneri." Naruto says after thinking about his trip.

"Well that's everything I needed to know, you can get going to see your girlfriends, I know they're looking forward to seeing you." Kakashi says waving Naruto off

"Thanks Kakashi sensei I'll get going, I'll stop by and see you later." Naruto says as he heads for the door and leaves.

"Bye Naruto" Kakashi says as Naruto leaves his office and closes the door behind him.

"So Jiraiya how was his progress?" Kakashi asks in interest

"He made great progress by using shadow clones to train past anyone's reasonable expectations. He didn't pick up everything that they tried to teach him but he focused on countering techniques knowing it was a more important thing to learn. He managed to hone most of his advanced chakra natures by their experts and took a few weeks to focus on the basic elements that each village specializes in and picked up a few jutsu known to previous kages. All in all I think he learned more than he did on his last trip with me by quite a bit." Jiraiya says honestly

"Do you think he is ready for the battle ahead?" Kakashi asks curiously

"It's difficult to say as we don't know Toneri's full power and neither does Naruto. Naruto was already stronger than in his previous lifetime. I know that because of Naruto's work ethic and maturity would drive him to surpass his previous strength and that was before his trip to the other villages but he still didn't believe he was strong enough. Even now he is doubtful about his chances and that is worrying as I can barely comprehend someone stronger than Madara as his strength was beyond even what the kages could imagine." Jiraiya says concerned

"Do you think there is anything we can do to improve his chances?" Kakashi asks hopeful

"No you and I both know that even if we sent back up such as the kages they would only amount to being a distraction at best and at worst a hindrance to Naruto who would try to protect anyone we send with him. It appears he will be doing this on his own all he can do now is continue to train with what little time is left to hopefully tip the odds in his favor." Jiraiya says with seriousness

"We still have a little over a month. Do you think we should try and get a message to Sasuke, he would be able to at least support Naruto without being a hindrance?" Kakashi asks in thought

"It would be a huge gamble as if something were to happen to Sasuke then Naruto won't be able to go to the past to try again." Jiraiya seriously

"It's a gamble in itself that Naruto will be able to survive until we use the dimensional cannon again to send him to another dimension as it appears last time Toneri didn't bother with Naruto enough to finish him off and left expecting him to die in the collision." Kakashi says concerned

"I have faith that Naruto is capable of surviving to the end at least even if he faces Toneri at full power this time." Jiraiya with some confidence

"That's something at the very least but, I'm worried how Naruto takes it if he fails again after training so hard, he has literally spent his entire life preparing for this fight." Kakashi says with worry

"While I'm more confident in his chances than he thinks he has, You're right that if the worst happens the blow will be massive to Naruto as it would mean starting over even if it means being more knowledgeable about Toneri's abilities it still would be a great loss that'd crush the spirits of even the most seasoned shinobi." Jiraiya says in thought

"Is there anything we can do to prepare him for the worst case scenario?" Kakashi says thinking about his options

"No amount of training can prepare for such a thing, our only option is to show our support by giving him our advice and make suggestions to him on how to act in the past so if the worst happens he will have our guidance this time instead of using only his instincts to get him through it." Jiraiya says thinking it over

"I think he should accompany us to the next kage summit and have the kages give their input as they may know some things about their villages for him to use to get them to ally with him earlier in the past or some instructions to help deal with the crises he faces go smoother." Kakashi says optimistically

"Yeah it will also do him some good to know that even if he fails he has their support indirectly to carry on and not to give into despair over it." Jiraiya says positively

"Do you think we should tell him that he'll be attending what could be the final kage summit." Kakashi asks

"We should tell him the day before we leave and let him focus on training for now. He'll have time to focus on what the kages tell him on the way back. If we go at a good pace we'll be back a few days before the rinne festival and Toneri's arrival." Jiraiya says

"I guess that thing's will soon come to ahead as at this point there is little further we can do." Kakashi says with a sigh

"We just have to have faith in Naruto." Jiraiya says confidently

"You're right he'll succeed no matter how many times it takes." Kakashi says with pride as the sun begins to set on the village.

With Naruto he is making his way to the Uzumaki compound taking in some of the new sites the village has. He arrives rather quickly where the compound is to find it has tripled in size from when he was last in it. He heads in to look around to see if anyone is in and finds Hinata in the living room reading.

"Hey Hinata." Naruto says with a smile

"Naruto you're back!" Hinata says joyfully as she puts the book down.

"Yeah I got back earlier today and just finished talking to Kakashi sensei." Naruto says rubbing his head.

"It's good that you're finally home." Hinata says warmly

"Yeah it's great to be back and I see that you girls had some remodeling done." Naruto says looking around

"Yes we felt that it was getting a little cramped for nine people so had the building enlarged and took into account that we would gain new people to our growing family." Hinata says with a smile

"So where are the others?" Naruto asks curious

"They're out and about right now out eating, shopping, visiting relatives, or at work." Hinata says

"When will they be back?" Naruto asks

"They'll all be here by sunset we always gather at that time in the living room to talk about our day and how things are going." Hinata says

"Are Kurotsuchi and Karui staying here?" Naruto asks

"Both of them are Kurotsuchi has been staying here for more than six months and Karui a little more than two months." Hinata says

"Will they be showing up tonight?" Naruto asks

"Yep" Hinata says

"Well I plan to have a talk with all you girls so can you tell them when they arrive." Naruto asks

"Sure they'll be happy to see you." Hinata says

"So will I in the meantime I have some unpacking to do." Naruto says as he looks around to locate his new room with his stuff and begins to unpack. As the sun begins to set the girls start to arrive at the compound and gather in the living room. Hinata informs them of Naruto's return and they're excited that he's back. When the last of the girls arrive in the living room, Naruto makes his appearance when the last one arrives.

""Hello Naruto."" the girls say at the same time.

"Hi girls it's great to see you all." Naruto says with a smile

""Same here Naruto."" the girls simultaneously giggle at saying it at the same time again.

"How have things been while I was gone?" Naruto asks curious

"They've been great with us training, going on missions, doing work, upgrading the compound, and going on dates together." Hinata says smiling

"Anything I should know about happening in the village?" Naruto asks in interest

"No things have been peaceful and everyone is going about their daily lives as normal with some retirements, weddings on occasion, graduations from the academy, and several chunin exams." Tenten says neutrally

"Has anything of interest happened with you girls?" Naruto asks with curiosity

"Well nothing of real interest besides us meeting Kurotsuchi and Karui. Them moving in was about the only other change around here other than renovating the compound." Ino says indifferently

"I'm surprised that you didn't mention Kakashi's marriage. I hear you all were involved quite a bit." Naruto says surprised

"Well Hanare called us up along with Kakashi's classmates and said she proposed to him and he was being hesitant and asked for our help in arranging the marriage with his male classmates making arrangements on the grooms end and the ladies of his class helped pick out the location, wedding dress, the guest list, and bridesmaids while we handled some of the remaining matters. It was nice to help out the wedding as it gave us practice for ours in the future." Yakumo says with a smile

"From the way I heard it he was taken against his will to dress up and shoved in front of the altar. The only thing keeping it from being a crossbow wedding was the threat of violence other than a kunai to his dick." Naruto states bluntly with a deadpan

"Well we did have all the exits blocked, we had rope handy to tie him up, he was surrounded on all sides, had a chakra restraining seal placed on him along with a tracking seal, both of his legs had gravity seals put on, his anbu friends had the building surrounded, we had tracker nin on stand by in case he escaped the building, and the priest was payed to ignore anything he said other than yes, and no civilians were allowed to attend so it was packed with shinobi." Karin says chipperly

"So, he was kidnapped, held against his will, and was threatened with violence." Naruto says sweat dropping

"If you say it like that it loses all the romance besides we know Hanare made it up to him on their honeymoon." Temari says with a grin

"How would you know that?" Naruto asks almost afraid of the answer

"Hanare had some fantasies she wanted to play out on her honeymoon so we loaned her some toys for the special occasion." Fu says amused

"Great to top it all off for his first night as a husband he most likely was raped by his wife on the honeymoon. It's almost like something pervy sage would write." Naruto says groaning with his face in his hand.

"It loses all romanticism when you say it that way. Besides we know Lord Jiraiya's books are better than that." Sakura says shrugging

"Ok aside from Kakashi being turned into his wife's plaything and you girls reading pervy sage's books. How did things go when Kurotsuchi and Karui arrived and met all of you?" Naruto asks in interest

"I was nervous at first when I arrived the first day and took me a few more days before I decided to look your other girlfriends up. When I arrived and introduced myself the girls they were excited when I said I was your new girlfriend and they asked about how I met you. We chatted and shared stories about you and decided to go out with them doing various things such as eating out, training, and shopping. Eventually it stopped feeling awkward after a couple of weeks and after a couple months I left for home when I returned they asked if I wanted to stay with them and I said yes having come to enjoy their company. We've been doing this together ever since." Kurotsuchi says happily

"What about you Karui?" Naruto asks curious

"It was the same for me too pretty much. I eventually grew to like their company and decided to stay here with them and go out on dates." Karui says with a smile

"So how close have you gotten with them?" Naruto asks in curiosity

"We've gotten really close over the past few months." Karui says with a grin

"Close as in?" Naruto asks in suspense

"We've become rather intimate." Kurotsuchi says with smirk

"Intimate as in sex right." Naruto says bluntly

"That's right Naruto." Sakura says

"I guess that means they're bisexual as well." Naruto says intrigued

"Yep you found two more bisexual girls." Fu says giggling

"Really what're the odds of this happening ten times in a row." Naruto says astounded

"Statistically really improbable add to the fact they didn't know before dating you it becomes almost statistically impossible." Temari says amused at his luck

"I have really strange luck don't I?" Naruto says with a sigh

"I would say that most men would consider it good luck." Karin says chuckling

"So how did they find out?" Naruto asks in interest

"It was about the same with Temari we started with kissing, then fondling, mutual masturbation, and eventual experimentation. By then it became apparent to them they had interest in women so we continued on from there seeing what we liked and didn't." Yakumo says with a shrug

"I kind of figured you girls would try having sex with them, I should have expected they would turn out to be bisexual with my track record." Naruto says with a sigh

"We're curious why didn't anyone show up from kiri you must have found a girl there as well to form a relationship with?" Ino asks in interest

"Well I went on a date with Mei the fifth mizukage but she wasn't interested in joining a harem even though she admitted she likes me." Naruto says with shrug

"Did you have sex with her?" Tenten asks curious

"No but we cuddled together in her bed after going out on a date." Naruto says indifferently

"It's a surprise with your luck with women you didn't find one in kiri to have joined you as a girlfriend." Hinata says surprised

"Luck can only get one so far. There comes a point where it runs out and it appears I reached my limit when I took Mei on a date so I wasn't really that surprised since she is older by more than a decade as such she would be more firm in her standards and expectations than people our age are." Naruto says casually

"So, are you done dating then?" Hinata asks

"I think after gaining ten girlfriends I've more than enough women in my life." Naruto says neutrally

"It's a shame really we liked having new people to join us and to try things out with." Tenten says with a sigh

"Don't feel bad we all have each other after all." Naruto says nicely

"Still it was exciting wondering if we would gain sisters out of the blue and who you were seeing." Ino says lamentingly

"Nothing lasts forever, it had to end at some point." Naruto says with a shrug

"I guess it means we can start planning things around here for ten girls and not needing to worry about expanding to accommodate new people." Yakumo says in thought

"Yeah I imagine you girls can now focus on making this place the home of your dreams." Naruto says happily

"Well we already are almost done doing that with the renovations. How about we show you a few rooms that we had made?" Karin asks excited

"Sure lead the way." Naruto says as he gets up and follows the girls out of the living room to show him a hall that has one door leading to a huge bedroom with a gigantic bed made from multiple ones connected together. Next leading him to a giant kitchen with several tables to sit more than a dozen people. Then they lead him to the bathroom that has a huge tub and stand in showers enough for all the girls and Naruto. They escort him to a huge room that is a spa, with a sauna and huge hot tubs with enough room for everyone. Eventually they reach an isolated wing of the compound with a single door that is locked.

"Strange why is this room locked?" Naruto asks curious

"Because, we don't want just anyone to walk in here as it's the playroom." Temari says with a grin

"What kind of playroom?" Naruto asks nervous from seeing Temari's grin

"Open it up and see here's a key." Fu says happily as she hands Naruto a key and he uses it to unlock the door and opens it to find something that shocks him the room is a dungeon with chairs, a large bed, bondage equipment, a wooden horse, multiple bdsm toys hanging on the walls, multiple cabinets with books and drawers with various sex toys and a gigantic closet filled with costumes for cosplay.

"Wow! I know you girls were experimenting but I didn't think you would go as far as to buy this kind of stuff!" Naruto says, astonished at what he is seeing.

"We have had a lot of free time on our hands to try things out and decided to make this room to store our stuff instead of trying to hide it in a single closet or dresser in the bedroom." Sakura says giggling at his reaction.

"Do you girls use this room a lot?" Naruto asks dying from curiosity

"Plenty enough to warrant having this room built. It gets pretty lonely without you around so we needed to find a way to entertain we're starting to run out of ideas that sound good to try out and have gone back to stuff we've tried before to see if it was still enjoyable." Kurotsuchi says chipperly

"Please tell me none of this would involve my butt." Naruto says chuckling nervously

"Is Naruto afraid of the receiving end of sex and getting his anal cherry popped." Karui says with a snicker

"Terrified would be a more accurate description." Naruto says paling at the thought of some of the stuff he is seeing being used on him. At his statement the girls burst out laughing and some fell to the floor laughing.

"Girls it's not funny." Naruto says pouting

"Sorry Naruto but we tried to imagine how you would react to being used in such a way. The look on your face would be priceless." Hinata says giggling

"I'm serious I'm not capable of enjoying such things being done to me. It's downright disturbing." Naruto says shivering

"Don't worry about it while amusing the thought of you in such a situation is it's not a fantasy of ours as we don't see you as being submissive in our relationship." Tenten says chuckling

"That's a relief denying you girls something would make me feel bad even if I'm so opposed to it." Naruto says relieved

"We have another room to show you that we spent a lot of thought on." Ino says merrily

"Well lead the way then." Naruto says as he backs away from the room and shuts the door and relocks it. He follows the girls to find him opposite the bedroom.

"Why're we back here?" Naruto asks curious

"This is the last room we have to show you and saved it for last." Yakumo says enthusiastically

"Well open it and show me." Naruto says excitedly as they open the door and Naruto is stunned by what he sees. It's a huge room with 10 cribs and more than 10 chairs along with various dressers and a huge closet.

"This is the nursery Naruto it's where the babies will be staying." Karin says joyfully as Naruto walks around the room and notices the nameplates on each crib have the name of one of his girlfriends on it.

"You made a nursery!" Naruto says faintly in shock

"Yes we did. We felt it was time to prepare for our future together and decided to have a nursery made for our future children." Temari says happily

"I'm really going to become a father." Naruto says amazed

"Yes Naruto you're going to be a dad." Fu says energetically

"I really don't have a say in the matter do I?" Naruto says softly

"No you don't we've decided on this years ago and now we're getting ready for the day after you defeat Toneri when you come home and give us our babies. We already have a list of baby names finished and are just waiting to see them to decide which one to pick." Sakura says ecstatic

"After so long I've lived for the moment of facing Toneri but haven't really given much thought to after. To see this is something I never imagined I would live to see." Naruto says as he forms tears

"You're a great man Naruto and deserve a family and we promise to give you one all we ask you to do is come home to us." Kurotsuchi says comfortingly

"This will all disappear if I fail." Naruto says trembling at the thought

"You won't and will be waiting here in this compound for you to come back. We already are planning ways to celebrate it and look forward to showing you some of the things we like to do together." Karui says encouragingly

"Thanks girls for showing me this. It gives me a glimpse of the future that I'm fighting for. Will girls sleep with me tonight in that hug bedroom of ours." Naruto asks appreciatively

""Of course Naruto"" the girls say as one as they follow Naruto to the opposing room and join Naruto in the bed as he lies down on it and they all snuggle together under the sheets with Naruto in the center as they fall to sleep in a huddle. When morning comes Naruto is the first to awaken and heads to the shower and then his room for clothes before going to the kitchen for breakfast. After he eats he heads out of the compound to training ground three to begin training in thunder release and wood release using his shadow clones. He trains like this for a little more than three weeks. A couple of weeks before the Rinne festival Naruto finishes his training up for the day and heads back to the Uzumaki compound. With the sun setting he goes in to find all the girls in lingerie and they're hanging out in the living room waiting for him.

"Hello girls what's with the outfits?" Naruto asks curious

"Well the rinne festival is going to happen soon so know that your fight is coming so we decided to make tonight special for you." Hinata says with a smile

"How so?" Naruto asks in interest

"With your harem no longer growing we decided for all of us to give you a night to remember." Tenten says smirking

"So you girls decided to have a orgy with me." Naruto says with a smile

"That's right we haven't been together in two years and felt it was time to make up for lost time." Ino says excited

"It does sound nice for us to spend some quality time together." Naruto says happily

"Well what're you waiting for, come get us." Yakumo says sexily

"As you wish." Naruto says as he begins to undress and is soon naked with his dick erect. Naruto then does something that surprises them as he suddenly splits himself into ten Narutos.

"This is new, what kind of clone jutsu is this?" Karin asks in interest

"It's not cloning but fission I split myself apart using the fission jutsu I picked up in iwa it allows me to multiply without hand seals and the separate mes are equally divided among strength and stamina. They can do everything the whole me can do including ejaculate so you girls won't have to wait with a clone as I go from one of you to another." Naruto says rubbing his head

"You mean you can cum inside us at the same time!" Temari says aroused

"Yep though being divided into ten means each of me won't last as long during sex but you know I can go a long time so it should still be a while with enough time to get you girls to orgasm." Naruto says confidently

"Hurry up then and get inside us with those cocks of yours." Fu says ecstatic at having sex with Naruto again.

"Well here I come." Naruto says as one Naruto goes to each girl and gives them a deep kiss and starts to fondle their breasts through their lingerie. The girls take off the lingerie as they deepen their kisses and each Naruto cups their pussies and begins to play with them. They're played with to the verge of orgasming and are about to be penetrated by Naruto's thick cocks when the doorbell goes off stopping the Naruto's that are about to enter the girls.

"Ignore it, Naruto it can wait till later." Sakura says panting from being on the verge of a climax

"Sorry it can't, I sense it's pervy sage so it must be important." Naruto says as he fuses himself together and goes to the door to find Jiraiya at the door.

"Hey Naruto" Jiraiya says

"What is it, pervy sage, I'm kind of busy." Naruto says annoyed

"Sorry Naruto but we need you at the hokage's office to go over something." Jiraiya says apologetically

"Naruto what is it? It better be important." Kurotsuchi says as she and the other girls walk up to Naruto in bathrobes.

"Kakashi sensei and pervy sage need me." Naruto says with a sigh

"It could wait twenty minutes if it helps." Jiraiya says as he starts to sweat from the killing intent the girls are giving off along with the glares they're giving him.

"No it wouldn't be enough time I'm afraid." Naruto says sadly

"What about us Naruto?" Karui asked irritated and horny

"Sorry girls it looks like you'll have to entertain each other tonight." Naruto says apologetically as he walks out of the compound following Jiraiya as the girls pout, whine, groan, and curse as he leaves and heads to the hokage tower. He arrives quickly and enters with Jiraiya behind him.

"What's going on Kakashi sensei?" Naruto asks worried

"I decided to inform you that you'll be joining Tsunade, Jiraiya, and me at the kage summit." Kakashi says calmly

"Why do you want me to go? I've told the kages everything I know." Naruto asks curious

"They want to have some final words with you." Kakashi says neutrally

"We would have to rush back to make it time before the rinne festival." Naruto says concerned

"It's fine we won't be making any pit stops or detours so we should make it back with a day or two to spare." Kakashi says relaxed

"Alright then is there anything else?" Naruto asks a little irritated

"Nope that was it." Kakashi says chipperly

"Why didn't you call for me earlier today?" Naruto asks sighing

"I've been busy planning the evacuation and shinobi placements for most of the day so had to push back our meeting. Why do you ask?" Kakashi asks curious

"Because, pervy sage interrupted me with the girls and they had planned to make the night special for me so they are not only now sad but most likely pissed off as well." Naruto says exasperated

"I see well the night is still young so if you rush back I imagine you could find some time to be with them." Kakashi says apologetically

"No it wouldn't be much time as I now need to get up early to leave with you guys in the morning." Naruto says depressed

"I'm sorry Naruto I'll tell you what after you defeat Toneri I'll make sure you don't have anything to do for a few months to catch up with them on any lost time." Kakashi says trying to cheer Naruto up.

"Thanks I think the girls would appreciate that." Naruto says thankful as he leaves Kakashi's office and heads to the Uzumaki compound and heads to bed not finding the girls in the living room figuring the girls are in the playroom. While wanting to check up on them, he knows he would only be tempting himself by seeing them play with each other. So as he sleeps he is haunted by dreams of the girls playing with each other leaving him restless for most of the night. The next morning he finds the girls in the kitchen eating and tells them what Kakashi wanted and tells them he is leaving for the kage summit and would be back soon. He leaves the compound to find Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Tsunade at the west gate and joins them as they head to the land of iron.

The trip goes quickly with them arriving in the land of iron a few days ahead of schedule. They aren't the only ones as the other kages and their guards arrive a day earlier than expected so the meeting is held a day before it's scheduled so they can all head back early. When Mifune arrives in the meeting room the meeting begins.

"Thank you all for attending and early for that matter so let's start the meeting." Mifune says

"So have you all had meteor strikes in your lands as well?" Kakashi asks

"Yes I've had reports of a large amount of meteor strikes reported in my land." Gaara says

"I have as well." Mei says

"The same with me." Onoki says

"I also have so things are starting the same way as before. Any news on the moon?" A asks

"Yes my astronomer sent a messenger bird to me yesterday with news that they're seeing the moon begin to move out of its orbit toward earth." Kakashi says with seriousness

"I guess the time is approaching." Mei says nervous

"Well we were warned this would happen." Onoki says firmly

"It's good we have prepared for this event." Gaara says calmly

"I was really hoping that it was a lie and the meteor strikes were a coincidence." A says with a sigh

"You weren't the only one. So how have evacuations in your lands been doing?" Kakashi asks in interest

"I've sent out shinobi to help relocate civilians in towns to shelters across the land." Gaara says neutrally

"We also have been working on stopping travelers and having them move to shelters." Onoki says casually

"With most civilians in shelters we have begun recalling shinobi to prepare our village for evacuation as well." Mei say calmly

"It seems that everything is falling into place. I've sent word to everyone to expect meteor strikes for the next two weeks. The question is now whether to tell them the moon is falling from the sky?" A says in thought

"We should inform them the day after the rinne festival it's when Naruto will be facing Toneri and we will know if the danger is going to pass. It will give them time to make peace with their loved ones if the worst should happen." Kakashi says thinking it over

"Why would you tell them aren't you worried it will cause a panic?" Naruto asks in interest

"By the time we tell them the matter will be settled either way with you defeating Toneri ending the threat or failing and the moon continues to fall making the risk of panic no longer matter." Onoki says indifferently

"Though I doubt they will panic even knowing the moon is falling with us telling them you're dealing with it." Mei says confidently

"Besides it will allow them to express their support for you as I know the shinobi the world over do." Gaara says with confidence

"I guess they deserve to know of their fate one way or another." A says with a shrug

"I get this is important guys but why am I here instead of training as you all seem to have this under control?" Naruto asks curious

"Because, Naruto, for the past two years you've been training for the best outcome with our support. It's time for us to prepare you for the worst case scenario." Kakashi says calmly

"This will be the last time we will be able to give you advice before facing Toneri." Mei says seriously

"With you planning to time travel again if you fail its best to discuss with you what to do if it happens." Gaara says neutrally

"After all time traveling contains serious risks. We know things worked out for all of us this time but there is no guarantee when you try to do something different it will work out next time." Onoki says firmly

"So we want to plan with you this time to hopefully continue having a positive outcome." A says with seriousness.

"I guess you're right when I came back without any advice and was nervous about what I was doing all the time and when I tried to change things ended up playing out mostly the same way because I didn't tell anyone about my time traveling so had no one to help change things." Naruto says with a sigh

"That's why we're here to give you some advice to hopefully help you prepare to change things." Kakashi says supportively

"To start off it would be best not to try and tell us about Toneri till after the war by then we will be allied and respect you enough to listen and above all believe you." Onoki says with certainty

"The sound invasion should proceed as normal as you can't prepare in enough time to save the sandaime hokage from Orochimaru besides it would interfere with Tsunade becoming the fifth hokage." Gaara says analytically

"Don't tell anyone that the masked man is actually Obito or we won't take him seriously enough to mobilize our forces together from our fear of him being Madara besides in the end it was actually Madara's plan anyway so the threat is real enough." Mei says firmly

"Keep focused on training for akatsuki instead of Toneri until the war is over." A says thoughtfully

"If you're to tell Jiraiya and Tsunade, do it before your first training trip with Jiraiya so he knows what you already have knowledge about in order to spend the next couple of years learning new things instead of things you already know and can quickly relearn when you get back to konoha." Kakashi says in thought

"Be sure to stick close to Sasuke as he'll be needed again for the war and as a contingency plan against losing to Toneri again." Mei says calmly

"Keep befriending me and help guide me to become kazekage." Gaara says with a smile

"Don't inform Sarutobi of anything. At best he won't believe you. At worst he takes action by himself and we react poorly to him trying to unite us against a threat we will refuse to believe or try to exploit the situation." Onoki says worried

"Don't tell any friends or comrades at best they don't believe you or at worst they open their mouths to others and cause news to leak out that might reach the wrong ears leading to chaos that we can't even begin to predict." A says sternly

"As for me, don't tell me anything till just after the war it will allow me to prepare to become hokage and get you some experts to train in konoha's specialties before having you go to the other villages. It might not be much but those extra few months between the war ending and me becoming hokage might be the extra time you need. I think that's about it." Kakashi says thinking over everything.

"It's a lot to remember but to sum it up I'm on my own until my training trip with pervy sage and then I have to focus on training for Akatsuki, keep close to Sasuke, and let the sound invasion play out as before. Then don't tell anyone other than Tsunade and pervy sage until the war is over to inform you guys and then worry about Toneri." Naruto says with a sigh

"That's right." Gaara says

"It doesn't leave a lot of room to change things radically but things should mostly play out the same way and keep things repetitive so you know what to expect." Mei says

"After all if you change things radically all you know about the future will become worthless and will end up walking blindly ahead till the time Toneri makes his move." Onoki says

"Hopefully this time you will see his full abilities and power to know what to prepare for allowing us to help you better next time around." A says

"I guess that there is only so much I can do on my own even with time travel at my disposal." Naruto says worried

"You're your father's son so you'll pull this off eventually." A says calmly

"You also are the sage of six paths successor so we have faith you will do this." Onoki says intently

"We give you our trust to handle the past with the advice we gave you." Mei says with a smile

"Naruto don't let yourself become concerned as we will be waiting for news of your victory." Gaara says faithfully

"This is the greatest mission in the history of shinobi and could last an eternity for you but here it is Naruto your mission is to defeat Toneri no matter how many times it takes and we trust you to succeed where no one else can." Kakashi says with confidence

"Thanks everyone I guess all that you guys can do now is to prepare the dimensional cannon to blow me and the shell of the moon away if it looks like I failed. Who knows it might hit Toneri too and possibly slow or stop the moon's core from colliding with the earth but I doubt it." Naruto says rubbing his head

"I think that's it, does anyone have anything else to say?" Kakashi asks

"I can't think of anything else." Mei says

"I don't have anything else to say." Onoki says

"Same here." Gaara says

"Then it's time to return to our villages as the die is now cast." A says as he gets up along with the others as the kages and their guards make their way out of the building and scatter in the direction of their villages to arrive the day before the rinne festival to prepare for the end either of the threat or the world.
