● The TARDIS

Rose Tyler, a blonde girl who used to work at a shop... before the Doctor blew it up. She used to travel with the War Doctor, after the original Time War... there was actually another Rose Tyler, following the War Doctor still. They might have the same memories, but they were two separate people. Two fragments of the same soul, but two entirely different entities.

The Rose with the War Doctor was past version of her, back when saving the universe was still a game. She was dangerous, and frankly... stupid... but she got to travel with Doctor from the start... where as the older Rose was thrown out of the ether, lost and confused...

These past few hundred years, since she realized they were in a different dimension, Rose had been searching for her Doctor....then realized what happened to her happened to him as well. She had occasionally run into a few other Doctor fragments, like the War Doctor, and learned of their nature...along with gaining an understanding of her own...

Still, she searched. Trying to find her Doctor, but for some reason he was staying away from Earth...

Now here he was. Here she was, on an alien planet far from home... and she couldn't be happier.

Surrounding her where the Doctor's other companions. The ones that saved the multiverse from the Reality Bomb the Daleks constructed, a few universes away.

Donna Noble, the Doctor's... current companion, a rather feisty red head.

Wilfred Mott, an older... rather odd old man, and Donna's grandfather.

Martha Jones, a dark skinned women who saved the previous reality in a year that never was.

Jack Harkness, the orginal Boekind. An immortal even in the old universe. Rose had known him since their days with the War Doctor... and yes, there was another younger Jack with the War Doctor.

Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness' lover and part of a three man team that helped Jack Help the Doctor. The man was a bit serious for the Doctor's taste but Jack needed him. For that the Doctor was grateful he survived into this universe.

The other person on the 3 man team was Gwen Cooper. While Ianto was Jack's emotional support, Gwen was his conscience.

Sarah Jane Smith, an older woman and often called the Doctor's greatest companion on the blogs of him. She had once traveled with the 4th Doctor (so the old woman ha 20 something version of herself with the 4th), and then met the 10th again in numerous occasions.

Mickey Smith... Rose's... ex-boyfriend... Rose hadn't exactly treated him right after she started traveling the cosmos with the Doctor. She never officially broke it off but they drifted apart as she spent more and more time with the Doctor.

Then, finally, their was Jackie Tyler, Rose's mom. That woman kinda just fell into a position to save the world despite the Doctor trying to keep her out of it... he didn't particularly like her but there she was, at a battle for the fate of the multiverse, and she helped save it all.

The Doctor smiled warmly at all of them, even Jackie. "Good to have the gang back together. Now let's solve some mysteries,"

● Elemental Prime,
Konoha Council Chambers.

The Heads from every clan sat around the room, in a chamber almost like a small stadium. They met in this room daily, to discuss the operation of the village. As well as the affairs of other countries, which was todays topic. Currently, they listened to one of their Shinobi spies as she gave them her report.

It had been a relatively Quiet week, until now, with the Doctor allowing Nagato to attend these Council Meetings. Most involved talking budgets, along with what the Uzumaki and Sec could add to the village. Apparently, giving them their own pocket dimensions as large as a village was not enough... but that was neither here or there... they had bigger issues at the moment.

The village hidden in the mist, Kiri, had declared war against their own people. Konoha's spy network had gone into detail about their discoveries... and now the council was discussing what to do.

"Why should we do anything?" Dismissed Fugaku, Lord of the Uchiha Clan. "If we take any action it will lead to war between our nations, possibly another World War." Many so the clan leaders actually nodded and gave memoirs of agreement.

Nagato was offended by the very thought, "They are slaughtering children, and you wish to do nothing?"

Fugaku turned his eyes to the young man, "You have had that chair for all of a week, and you think you have earned the right to contradict me?"

Nagato shrugged while waving the man off in an almost childlike manner. Though his words didn't match his body language, "I am not one to suffer fools nor cowards. You appear to be both." That got the entire council in an uproar. The Uchiha were very well respected in this village, particularly Fugaku. Still once the Hokage calmed things down, Nagato decided to actually debate the matter and not throw petty insults around.

"Konoha," Nagato voiced, "Is known for it's mercy. Yet the other villages don't dare call it a weakness. Because they see you are willing to do whatever it takes for the good of the people. Should it matter what side of a boarder they're on?"

Sarutobi sighed, "While that is a noble sentiment. We most respect the decisions of other villages in the treatment of their own people. We wouldn't want them to come to OUR lands, imposing their will."

"Your own sentiment should have limitations." Nagato challenge, "In the face of evil, the most cruel of all are the good men who do nothing."

Sarutobi sighed, "The world is not so black and white, child."

###

After the meeting, Sec followed closely by his young apprentice as they left the group... former apprentice. "You are going to do something stupid." Sec read the boy's expression.

"Don't try to stop me." Nagato warned.

"The days of me even being able to stop you are long behind us, just remember, this will have far reaching consequences for your clan. You may very well lose the home your people have craved for so long."

"I won't involve them." Nagato assured. "I'm just a figure head after all. In this instance, I believe that might actually help them."

Sec sighed. "What do you plan to do with these people you save? If there even is a plan."

"I have a plan," The boy flashed his charming grin, "Wing it."

###

Sarutobi wanted to rage as he the ANBU gave him their report. The Uzumaki TARDIS... was gone. Nagato was seen entering the machine before it faded out of existence. His clan appeared to know nothing about it, and indeed it seemed the boy went straight to it.

It didn't take a genius to figure out the boy's intentions, and after speaking with Sec all suspicions were confirmed... Nagato had gone rogue and disobeyed the council's ruling to not interfere... there was only one possible response to such an action... Nagato was written into the Bingo book... it was the only way to prevent a war... hopefully the Doctor could be made to understand... why did he have to go on vacation NOW of all times! He probably could have reasoned with the boy, where Sec apparently failed.

Sarutobi sighed as he took a puff from his pipe... he was getting too old for this... For some years now, he felt like this. However, now his complaints Revolved around shepherding gods and their quasi-mortal children... yes... Sarutobi was far far too old to deal with this nonsense...

###

Danny watched as the ANBU walked around the village, on high alter... things were going down hill fast. He needed to get a hold of the Doctor. The Doctor wanted to spend a while catching up with his old friend... but this... Nagato had gotten himself in a lot of trouble. However bad it looked there wasn't a doubt in Danny's mind, the Doctor could fix this. The Doctor could save all those people, get Nagato off the most wanted list, and keep the peace between the countries.

Danny had seen the Doctor handle far greater odds then this... he could handle it with ease.

###

Kimimaro sat by his flower patch. The little boy was not much of a gardener. he really couldn't be given he was barely old enough for preschool. His clan didn't put much stock in learning anything outside killing. The other children thought him strange for his calm / gentle nature.

Yet even then they didn't think him weak. He was born with a rare power amongst their people...

Kimimaro was too young to understand things like "recessive genes" and his clan was too barbaric to even be aware of genetics, much less teach the concept to 3 year olds.

The Kaguya Clan was made up of Warriors, not Shinobi exactly, as they were too unskilled for that, but mighty brawlers all the same.

Sniffing his flower, the boy smiled sweetly. It was a pleasant smell. His nearly mother smiled sweetly at him, yet her grin retained savage nature.

Then... a horn echoed through their tribe. Kimimaro's mother instantly tensed. Without warning, she picked the boy up and started to run towards the town hall... but it was too late.

Shinobi from Kiri were already inside the tribe, slaughtering everyone. One such Shinobi jumped in front of Kimimaro and his mother, raising his blade.

Mother grabbed hold of the blade, not carrying in the slightest that it was cutting into her hand. He swang her leg and kicked the man's gut, forcing him to let go of the weapon.

However, that did no more them momentarily stun the Shinobi. Still holding the blade itself, mother used those valuable seconds... to slit the man's throat.

However, she did not notice in time more Shinobi appearing behind her. Just before these men could get their Kunin into her back, a burst of green fire hurled them away.

Mother looked over, to see a young man in his early 20s with red hair... and ripples in his purple eyes. He was covered in purple scales and red fur... with a Reptilian head... An Uzumaki... a true Uzumaki... from the old fables.

The creature moved so fast she only saw glimpses off him. Moments when he stopped moving, usually to kill a Shinobi, before zooming to the next. It only seemed to be attacking the Kirian invaders. If anything it was protecting the Kaguya Clan Members.

building up her courage. Mother called out, in the hope the creature could understand her, "Uzumaki!"

The creature stopped and looked at her. She almost lost her nerve at that. Then insisted, "We need to protect the tower!"

The Creature nodded and ran over to her. She gasped as it picked her up at fast speeds then she could see, then swished through the village... it took them all of a second to get to the tower.

The Uzumaki set her down surprisingly gently. Then opened the doors. Mother gave a quick look over her son to make sure he wasn't too startled... as the Uzumaki gulped at what he saw in the tower.

It made sense. This was the most fortified building in the small tribe of huts. The only building made out of stone... it made sense this is where they would keep their most precious treasure...

Children, of varying age, were crowded together. There were stairs leading up, and Archers firing out windows, but not proper floors.

"Can you get them out?" Mother asked.

The creature looked at here... then began to shrink. His scales and fur pulled back into his pours. Even his wings and tail were pulled back into his body... well his race reshaped. Now standing there was a 20 something year old boy... and mother sighed with relief.

"I can help you." The young man insisted.

"My clan would rather die then accept help from outsiders." Mother explained, "But even that has it's limits." She passed Kimimaro into the young man's arms. Cupping the man's face, she insisted, "Get the kids out of here. Avenge my people. That is the most we are willing to ask of you."

Nagato looked at the tiny toddler in his arms, then back at the children, "You don't have to die. I could crush this army by myself. You don't even have to fight."

She smiled at him, "If even half the Legends are true about your clan, I image that's true, That is not the way of old warriors. We won't run away from a fight, coware behind another as you fight our battle. Just get the children too safety, find them a good home outside this merciless country."

Nagato sighed, looking back at the children, then at her, "Very well."

● Kiri,
Village Hidden in the Mist

Yagura Karatachi, Mizukage of this great village, was enraged. The young man, still looking like a child due to his height, gritted his teeth.

He wanted to purge his land of the abomination that was bloodline traits. Those freakish powers that turned regular men into demons... he was the only "demon" allowed.

Yagura was host to the three tail, a true demon. A creature that's powers he could harness. Yet he rarely needed to. His natural power was great, but it was still Human.

"Konoha sends their apologizes?..." Yagura spoke calmly as he looked at the message, "You tell me YOUR village is responsible for the death of thousands of my Shinobi, but it's okay. Since your sorry."

"Not us." The messenger insisted, "A Missing Nin from the Uzumaki clan. He went against the Hokage's orders, left the village, in order to save the civilians you have chosen to murder." Not hiding his own disgust at this man.

The messenger looked to be about 40, with long white hair and wearing Shinobi mesh armor with red robes over it.

Yagura stared at this man. He knew who this messenger was. And could only imagine they sent him encase Kiri tried to "shoot the massager"... this man... could handle himself, even against a demon host as powerful as Yagura.

"So, Jiraiya, you were sent to insure me Konoha condemns this man's actions. Yet clearly disagree with how I choose to run this nation."

"I believe it is the lords that run this country. You just tend to overstep yourself and they are too spineless to say anything." Jiraiya waved off, "Regardless, Konoha has no business stepping into the affairs of other nations. No matter how barbaric they may be. No, We don't approve of you. However we don't intend to interfere with how you operate."

"Yet your men attack us?" Yagura growled, "You rally the freaks to stop us. I know of the growing army, preparing to strike at this village."

"It's hardly Konoha's fault if you brought a civil war onto yourselves. Besides, as I said, it is one man that rallies them, one man that destroys your armies with such ease. This man is an Uzumaki, but even by their standards he is powerful. I should know... I trained him."

Yagura stiffened.

"And I can assure you, even I wouldn't want to fight him. I've come to assure your village this man does not act on our orders, and we will not accept the people he has liberated into our boarders... just as he, himself, is no longer welcome. We are trying to dot the I's and cross the T's so after he kills you, your successor knows it wasn't our wish."

Yagura clenched his fist, "Get out."

Jiraiya smiled, and after a mocking bow, left.

###

Spike grinned as he helpfully helped Twilight unpack. Harry and Naruto were helping to. Though not as enthusiastically.

Spike bounced as he carried a box upstairs. His Uzumaki strength allowing the small boy to carry as much as a full grown Earth Pony. "Is this whole tower really YOURS!?!"

Twilight grinned, "Now that I've graduated from Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the Sun herself gave me this lab to do magically research for her. She's even given me a large grant to pay for my research, and a nice sized stipend to live off of! Not to mention, BOOKS!!! Looks at all these books!!!" Twilight squealed as she looked at all the shelves. "thousands and thousands of books!!! All for me!!! Celestia calls it 'research material' and technically it belongs to the lab, but I'm the only one working here so it's all for ME!.... but I'm going to need a team of assistants to help."

She looked at the reptilian monkeys, currently in their humanoid forms, "Would you boys like the job?"

Naruto blurted out, "How much does it pay?"

But before Twilight could answer Harry whacked the blonde upside the head, "It pays nothing. Twilight is just asking if we are willing to help while she foalsits us. That way we don't get in the way."

Spike raised his hand, and eagerly bounced, "I'll help!"

Naruto snorted, then muttered to himself, "Of course YOU'LL help."

"How about this?" Twilight smiled, "I'll pay you a strip of Lithium a week. If you can tell me how much that is worth."

Harry gaped in shock, well Naruto bounced, with his hand up in the air, "One Hundred bits!!!"

Twilight smiled and stroked the blonde's hair, "And you claim not to pay attention to my lectures."

Naruto blushed.

Twilight looked over at Harry, "It's only minimum wage but that is all I could get from Celestia for you guys."

Harry smiled, "So it be like a real job?"

"While your species might mature slower then ponies, your congestive skills develop much sooner. I'm sure you can handle a job as my research assistants. I already cleared it with your dad, and he said if you want the job, it's yours."

All three boys grinned.

###

Nagato blinked, "Attack Kiri?"

"We are ready my lord!" One of the older Kaguya children grinned eagerly.

"Good for you," Nagato waved off, "But I don't ever recall saying we were GOING to attack Kiri."

The preteen stiff, "But... you unlocked our bloodline!"

"That was just a bit of genetic engineering, making your recessive genes more dominant. If people are going to try to kill you for having a bloodline trait, you might as well actually have it." Nagato yawned.

"YOU GATHERED ALL THE CLANS TOGETHER!!!" The boy was getting angry now.

"I SAVED them from being massacred, doesn't mean I was trying to start a revolution. I'm bringing you to a new home, not helping you invade your enemies."

"That's not good enough!" The boy screamed, "The Kiri have been massacring villages for generations. They destroyed your own! Their very invitation ceremony to become a Shinobi involves slaughtering other fellow children!!! They are monsters! They need to be stopped... will you not stop them?"

Nagato looked at the child... and sighed, "Out of the mouth of babes... the Doctor would not be displeased. Saving you is one thing but to take out The Village Hidden in the mist? It effects the pool of destiny on too large a scale."

"Who cares about Destiny!?" The boy glared, "I could care less about prophecies or fate. We don't live in the future. We live here and now!"

###

Yagura expected an Army, expected to see forces of bloodline freaks rushing widely through his village... He didn't expect to see some kind of giant furry dragon with them.

It was as large as a Tailed Beast, and just as powerful. The very ground shook with it's every step. There was no other choice. Yagura unleashed his own beast...

###

Some days after the conflict, The Doctor walked through the ruins of Kiri. Civilians were crying on the street, at the lose destruction of their homes. Many of them weeped for greater reason as they had family and friends serving as the village's Shinobi... now... all gone. Every Shinobi and government official had been executed after the attack.

The Doctor supposed he should be grateful most of the civilians and no combatant clan members had survived.

"What have you done?" The Doctor looked around at the rubble that was the Mizukage Tower. Nothing left but a few bricks in a circle... and a throne... that Nagato was just staring at as he stood before it.

"I did what you taught me to." Nagato smiled, "I saved innocent people."

"YOU CONQUERED A CITY!!!" The Doctor roared.

Nagato rolled his eyes, "I irradiated a plague. The Shinobi of this village were just tools. It was the government that was really to blame. They forced the Shinobi Graduates to kill fight to the death before recieving their headbands. They killed children because of a fluke gene!" Nagato spun around to glare at the Doctor, "They were MONSTERS!!! All of them! And you taught me how to handle mon-" Nagato suddenly choked as the Doctor slapped him across the face.

"I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!!!" The Doctor raged, "You want to know why I took such an interest in you above all other's of your clan? You think it's those weirdo eyes that drew me to you, like your superstitious elders!?... no... I looked into your future and I saw a REAL monster. I saw a creature that would burn this entire world too the ground... but I took pity on you. When I should have killed you in your crib, I helped raise you. Taught you the difference between right and wrong. I even gave you a Shinobi teacher, despite my better judgment to keep you a civilian. I did EVERYTHING I could think of to stop you from going down this path!... so tell me, Conqueror? How does your victory feel? Did slaughtering this entire village open your eyes? Are you now the monster I saw in that crib?"

Nagato looked down, "I just wanted to help these people... things spun out of control..."

The Doctor scuffed and turned his back, "As penance for your war crimes you will stay here and rebuild Kiri... as Mizukage."

Nagato looked up, eying the Doctor's back.

"Some part of me hopes you will take this massacre and learn from it... but if you don't... I won't give you a second chance."

Nagato slowly opened his mouth, at first too stunned to speak. Then he dared to ask, "Have I made you my enemy today?"

The Doctor didn't answer, merely began walking back towards his TARDIS.

"Father?..."

The Doctor paused, but only for a moment. Then he kept walking.

###

"The 3 tail is dead?" Sarutobi blinked as he listened to The Doctor's report.

"It should take it at least a hundred years before it can form again."

"And... Nagato?"

"You might want to take him off the Bingo book, unless you like the idea of listing the new Mizukage as one of Konoha's greatest fugitives."

Sarutobi sighed.

"His new village will need help rebuilding. I would suggest sending aid."

Sarutobi looked up from his desk. The Doctor looked as if he was boiling over with rage.

"I Image you wish me to send them the Uzumaki and Sec clans?" Sarutobi eyed, "Your people haven't lived here very long, perhaps they would prefer to be with Nagato, building their own village."

"Konoha is where Naruto is needed..."

"I wasn't planning on letting HIM go." Sarutobi spoke honestly, "It would complicate things if we handed over our Jinchuriki to a newly conquered village... plus I was looking forward to getting to know my honorary grandchild... but Doctor... maybe what the Uzumaki clan needs... isn't you..."

"There are certain individuals I brought back from Kiri... they will play a role in future events... I brought their friends and families with them. So it's not like Konoha is getting nothing out of this. I request asylum for them."

"Things didn't go well for me the last time you did that." The Hokage pointed out.

"I'll send the Uzumaki and the Sec back, though a handful will need to stay." The Doctor informed, "You're right... it's not me they need... I have been in their lives too long... they are becoming too much like me..."
