Dexter's POV;

Inside the Kage tower, I got a full report about our losses and the full destruction. Most of the civilian causalities came from Deidara's first bombing. He would have been able to let loose more bombs if Kura-chan hadn't blown him to dust by a Bijuudama. A whole block is gone, thanks to him.

His habit of flying was his death. She wouldn't have been able to let loose such an attack if he would have been on the ground.

Sasori has poisoned a lot of civilians and Ninja alike. Most of them are still alive and in treatment. Tsunade is sure that she will be able to find an antidote but also said that she wouldn't be able to heal everyone. Which is why I will heal them with my [Flames of Healing].

His puppets were taken out by some of our most deadly seals. Another three streets were collateral damage to these seals. Only black stone that re-solidified is now left.

Kisame killed most of the Ninja causalities. He was impossible to attack with any Ninjutsu. Genjutsu was instantly broken by Samehada, and his skills with the sword and other close combat arts were not little as well. Kura-chan's bodily constitution made being close to him disadvantageous and she couldn't use all of her power in fear of destroying the whole town.

At the end, he died in a suicide attack of six of our Jonin. They dismissed any defence and attacked him at once. Four of them are dead now, the others critically injured.

There was no sign of Itachi, Obito or Konan. I think Konan has left Akatsuki like she did after Nagato's death. Only that she will now be hateful of me and Uzu.

Itachi is intelligent and has the title of genius not without reason. Sure, four S-Ranked Ninja was an immense firepower and would have been enough to topple any smaller nation and possibly one of the weaker big five.

But attacking the home of a seal master is suicide. And more so if you attack the home of a whole clan that is known for their seals. Not to mention that Tsunade, Mom, Mikoto, Daichi, Kura-chan, and I were all also S-Rank.

With us alone, we are the strongest force alive in the world.

Konoha has Kakashi, Guy, Danzo, and Orochimaru, maybe Kabuto and Sasuke. If Sasuke has his Mangekyou. The first two should be S-Rank by now, their curse seals would make them strong enough.

Suna has only Chiho and Gaara and Chiho herself is almost dead.

Kumo has A, has had B, and most likely Darui. I don't know if there are more. Their list of A-Ranks is higher.

Iwa has Onoki, his son and that's it I think.

Kiri only has Mei.

So in terms of S-Rank, we were on the top of the list. Yet they attacked us anyway. Why? Desperation? Obito did not come over as someone who could work with failure. At least in the anime. His war also looked more like an act of desperation. Did he think he would be able to save Nagato by attacking Uzu?

I think it is prudent to seek him out and take his delusional dream out of the equation that will soon decide this world's fate. He's not even able to wage war. Zetsu's death stopped his ability to grow soldiers.

I will take over B next, I just don't know how yet. Maybe by forcing him to surrender? But with what threat? I could blow up all of his military bases.

But that would only seed hate of Kumo's citizen. This is so annoying, why can't I just kill everyone in each of the five villages? There would be no one to hate Uzu then and the people of the countryside would be way more agreeable to a change of rule. It happened to them all the time. Each of the three wars changed the map significantly.

Maybe that is the solution? I don't have a united enemy, not with Akatsuki on the brink of collapse and a world war happening. And I won't make myself into one just so that they can unite.

I looked up from the map that showed Uzu and the red coloured sections that showed the destroyed zones to look at those who I confide with, most of the time.

Tsunade, Mikoto, and Mom wouldn't agree to the killing of everyone in each five great villages. Daichi would not be against Konoha, Kumo and Iwa. And Kura-chan would help me readily.

Should I tell them about my idea? Maybe I can create an enemy. He would destroy the villages and then be taken out by us who will then take over the rubble.

That is a good idea, now that I think about it. I could use the golems I still have inside my inventory. They won't listen to me, now that I don't have the same Mana signature as Clair. Placing them inside the villages and letting them run rampage wouldn't be too hard.

And each of the guard golems is stronger than the regular Jonin. I still have close to ten million in my inventory.

Jup, I will speak to Kura-chan later about my idea. I'm sure she will come up with some additions.

“Dexter?”, asked someone from next to me and I saw that everyone was looking at me.

“Yes?”, I asked. Must have been pretty deep in my thoughts.

“Is something? You smiled just now”, asked Tsunade with a raised eyebrow.

“No, just thought about Obito and that I will have to take him out now. I just now came up with a way. Anyway, we will have to postpone this meeting. I will have to heal the wounded soon and any time we waste now might kill another one of our own”, I answered and looked at Shizune, who was the head medic in case of Tsunade's absence.

“Right, follow me please Uzukage-sama”, she quickly said and Kura-chan and I followed her. The rest started to organise the rebuild and our troops. Times as these would make other nations more likely to attack us.

Two hours later I have finished with the last wounded and was sitting on a couch in a spare house for Kura-chan, Mom, and me.

Kura-chan was sitting on my lap and no one else was inside the house. I broke the kiss we shared and looked at her pretty red eyes.

“You know, I have thought about a possible way to unite the world under Uzu”, I began and she looked at me, an expression on her face that told me to continue.

“At first I wanted to get every nation in a possible alliance with us and ease them into a union at a later time. But then the new world war broke out and only Kiri would have been with us.

With Kumo at war against us and Iwa and Konoha also not on good terms, I think we have to do it differently.

There is also the possibility to have one enemy that will force them to unite. Akatsuki would have been good, but they are now almost dead. And the war would have been a major problem again.

So I thought about simply destroying each of the five great villages and taking over forcefully”, I started.

She purred when I mentioned the destruction of each village and smiled lewdly. “It kinda makes me hot when you speak about mass murder”, she grinned.

“Yes I know, but we can't just kill them just like that. I wouldn't mind it, but Mom, Tsunade, Mikoto, and Daichi would. And their opinion about me is something I do mind”, I said with a chuckle and gave her a kiss.

She broke the kiss way too soon “And? What did you come up with?”, she then asked.

“I thought about using the golems I still have inside my inventory. They wouldn't listen to me and would kill the people indiscriminately. They see anyone without the right Mana signature as hostile.

We would just have to take them out inside a village and wait until everyone is dead. What do you think?”, I told her and she kissed me again.

Another few minutes later she decided to verbally tell me how she found my idea. “It's good, no one would suspect us. But they will ask from where these golems come and who is controlling them”, she pointed out.

“I know, but I think it won't matter. The golems will attack each village major village. Started with Iwa, then Konoha. Kumo and Suna will be hit simultaneously and lastly Kiri. This way we can play the saviours in Kiri and reclaim the other villages later.

Yet, only those of S-Rank and higher will be able to fight them effectively. You and I are pretty much the only ones who can even win against a high number of them. Those golems are pretty dangerous”, I replied. She nodded once and we moved to our bedroom for the rest of the day.

Three days later we received news about an attack on Konoha. It seems like Itachi sneaked in and tried to kill Danzo and Orochimaru. Our informant said that a burning soldier burst out of the ground and had Orochimaru pierced on its sword. The snake was then sucked inside a gourd and a moment later Danzo jumped out of the hole.

High ranked Jutsu were fired and a part of the village is now destroyed. Danzo survived, thanks to the rescue of his Ninja. Guy had to activate five of his gates to break through the armour of Itachi's Susano'o.

At the end, Itachi died not by a wound inflicted by his enemies but simply fell forward and was dead. Anything else was not known. The body of him was taken away and Orochimaru is currently be mourned by everyone inside the village.

This explains where Itachi was, but why did he not act sooner? Sasuke might now have the Eternal-Magenta-Sharingan and is an S-Ranked Ninja with it, after some training.

Still, Konoha was not a priority on my list. First would be Obito's death and after that comes our golem plan.

I knew that I could find Obito, at least partly. He still had Hashirama's cells inside him and could be tracked through them. Via some seals. The problem was that these seals have not such a giant range and I had to apply a whole lot of them around the world if I want to have a chance of finding him.

With that in mind, I created some shadow clones and send them out to create seals all around the world.

It took three months to track the guy. He was hidden inside a cave that was found at the northern border of the Land of Fire. I first locked the whole area with a seal that counters every space-time manipulation. Then I put the same seals that were in Uzu around the area. Those will prevent him from fleeing. And finally used a Hiraishin to get me and Kura-chan just out of the border of the seal.

We then raced towards the cave and were greeted by a frantic Obito. He stood in front of a large tree like thing with many white Zetsu hanging down from it.

“So you've found me”, he began, once he calmed down.

“Wasn't as fast as I liked it to be. Obito, you'll have to die if Kura-chan and I want to take over. Your plan was stupid, to begin with”, I said dismissively. His body language looked to be angered.

“You've stopped me time and time again. If you know who I am, then you must also know the why. My question is why are you stopping me?”. His tone was also angry.

“Cause we want to”, answered Kura-chan for me with a smile and began to charge a Bijuudama. Overpower from the start....

Obito looked at her with little concern and even waited for her to shoot the blast. I then felt the build up of Chakra on his side, but nothing happened. He suddenly jumped to the side with clear fear and got himself blasted his legs off.

“Is he stupid? Did he really think that we wouldn't stop his annoying ability to travel between dimensions?”, asked Kura-chan in disbelieve.

“Seems so”, I said equally surprised. Obito was still alive and glared at us through his mask. But he was in no condition to fight.

“Listen, the world is....”, he began but it seems like Kura-chan wasn't in the mood. He flicked her tail forward and pierced his head with it. A quick pull and there was a big hole in his head.

“These fights are anticlimactic. Only the fun of killing something makes them bearable”, she then said with a frown.

“I know right? Let's not be as super strong in our next life”, I suggested.

“I agree, but we won't be weak. Let's become strong a little slower. I still want to be able to beat anyone up, but trampling over the strongest of them is boring”, she agreed.

With that said, and a little put off about the easy win, we went home and spent some hours just having sex. Tomorrow we would kill everyone in Iwa.
