Hiruzen: No....that can't really be them could it?..It must be an illusion...
Tobi: Hmph. I assure you that they are indeed the real Kushina Uzumaki and the great Toad Sage, Jiraiya. You see, I visited the Heaven Realm not too long ago. Then, I caught them by surprise, put each of them under a genjutsu and kept them in my pocket dimension until now. You really didn't that I would be foolish enough to challenge four Hokages unprepared, did you?
Minato: Now, you have gone too far. This...is...unforgivable!
Minato attempts to charge at Tobi, but Hashirama grabs him by the shoulder.
Hashirama: Don't be to hasty, young Minato.
Minato: Lord First, you don't understand, that's my wife and master. They should be living in eternal bliss and joy, not involuntarily dragged into this dreadful situation!
Hashirama sighs, now understanding Minato's pain.
Hashirama: We must be patient. Acting out of anger will get us nowhere.
Minato nods in agreement, although he is having a hard time holding his rage inside.
Tobi: I could destroy their souls this instant if I wished to. So, if I were you, I would listen to the First.
Minato: You are going to regret having angered the Yellow Flash of the Leaf. I will end your life myself.
Hiruzen: (I've never seen him so furious before.)
Tobi: Enough with the threats. As I said earlier, it's time to get serious. (Jiraiya won't be of much use as a weapon, there is no natural chakra in this realm, which means using his legendary senjutsu is impossible. Kushina's abilities doesn't compare to these four, even with the boost I've given her. However, their presence will have a psychiatric effect on the Third and Fourth. Well, I'd better get to it.)
Tobi weaves a handsign. Orange chakra bubbles out from Kushina.
Tobi: Ichibi!
All four Hokages: !!!
Kushina fully transforms into the one-tailed beast Shukaku. Both of the tailed beast's eyes are sharingans. Jiraiya transitions into a fighting stance. Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen also prepare themselves.
Tobirama: Minato, the real battle is about to begin. I know this is tough for you to deal with, but you must ready yourself.
Minato's expression changes from grief-stricken to confident.
Minato: I am ready. There is just no way I would let harm come to my master's and wife's souls. I would never forgive myself.
Hiruzen: That's the Minato I know, the one I chose to succeed me.
Minato: Jiraiya....Kushina. If you can hear me in there, I'm going to get you both out of this and back to the happiness and peace you deserve!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hashirama: I'll take care of the jinchurki. My mokuton will suppress the ichibi's chakra. Do not worry, Minato. I will not bring harm to your wife's soul.
Minato: I appreciate it.
Hiruzen: I'll handle Jiraiya-boy. As his sensei, I recognize most of his techniques.
Minato: Lord Second, assist me in fighting Tobi. Your extraordinary genjutsu will be of much use.
Tobirama: Understood.
Hiruzen emotionally prepares himself to clash with Jiraiya. Hashirama readies himself to defeat Shukaku, but to save Kushina in the process. Tobirama and Minato stands side-by-side, ready to take down the man responsible for so much chaos.
All three battles are occurring at the same time, but Hiruzen vs Jiraiya is focused on first.
Hiruzen vs Jiraiya
The third Hokage charges at Jiraiya. As he approaches Jiraiya, the Sannin uses Needle Jizo. Hundreds of needle-like strands of hair makes it way towards Hiruzen. Hiruzen leaps up and evades the attack. As Sandaime is still in mid-air, Jiraiya attacks him with Fire Release: Flame Bullet. The attack is countered by Hiruzen's Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet. Hiruzen lands and Jiraiya runs towards him. The Toad Sage then weaves a rasengan while making his way to Hiruzen. Ten feet away, Jiraiya jumps and his rasengan multiples in size.
Jiraiya: *In a very blank, dull voice* Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan.
Hiruzen defends with Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, but he makes it diagonal instead of the usual vertical. The rasengan completely destroys the wall. Jiraiya finds an unconscious Hiruzen in the rubble and punches him in the chest. Jiraiya's fist gets stuck in Hiruzen's torso, the figure turns out to be a mud clone. The mud holds Jiraya's right hand in place and Hiruzen emerges from a broken piece of his decimated earth wall. He then quickly approaches Jiraiya from behind, puts his left hand's palm on his back and weaves a hand sign with his right.
Hiruzen: Release!
Jiraiya faints and Hiruzen catches him. Hiruzen then lays him down far away from the carnage of the other battles.
Hiruzen: (I'd better stay nearby and watch over him until he regains consciousness. It's up to the others, now...)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hashirama vs Shukaku
Hashirama: (First, I'd better get this destructive being away from the others. They're already in problematic situations of their own, so having to worry about a tailed beast as well would be a burden.)
Hashirama creates a tree and uses it as a spring. He is propelled towards the enormous tailed beast with great speed. Hashirama soars through the air, closing the gap between the ichibi and himself. Shukaku trys to hit Shodaime with a few Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullets, but Hashirama splits the wind attacks with his demon wind shurikens. Hashirama finally reaches the one-tailed beast, kicks his forehead with incredible strength, and Shukaku falls on his back with a thump that shook the entire realm. Hashirama lands on Shukaku's stomach, jumps off, and goes underneath him. He then picks him up with both arms and throws him 200 feet opposite from the other battles. Remembering not to harm Kushina, the First Hokage creates a forest to break Shukaku's fall. Hashirama runs for the ichibi. Shukaku recovers from the throw and starts to gather positive and negative chakra for a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Hashirama: (This is the perfect time to use that jutsu I've created in this realm.)
Now as Hashirama is only 100 feet away and enclosing, Shukaku launches a Tailed Beast Bomb at Shodaime. Hashirama creates a wooden figure of himself that is equal to Shukaku in size. The humongous Hashirama catches the Tailed Beast Bomb and suppresses the giant chakra ball until it is nothing. It then runs towards the tailed beast. Shukaku launches another Tailed Beast Bomb, but the enormous, wooden Hashirama just smacks the sphere upwards. It then grabs Shukaku by the shoulders and binds him with large branches.
Hashirama: (Without the Crystal Gem, suppressing the ichibi's chakra won't be as easy. Though, I will make do without it.) Hokage-Style Sixty-Year-Old Technique — Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands.
The giant Hashirama splits into eleven wooden pillars and surrounds Shukaku. The one-tailed beast gets smaller and smaller until nothing remains but Kushina. Hashirama approaches her and she attacks him. He dodges and places his hand on her shoulder.
Hashirama: Release!
Kushina faints.
Hashirama: (Now, that just leaves me one more task.) Release ichibi!
Shukaku emerges from Kushina. The First Hokage creates a wooden cage around the tailed beast.
Shukaku: Well, if it isn't Hashirama Senju. Get me out of here! I'm not your pet!
Hashirama: Sorry, for now you're going to have to remain here until I figure out what to do with you.
Shukaku: Damn you shinobi!
Hashirama ignores him. He then looks at Kushina, whose soul is perfectly fine and intact after the tailed beast extraction.
Hashirama: (It's a good thing souls have unlimited chakra or else the extraction would've done a number on her. Well, my part is done. Now, my fellow Hokages must do theirs.)

Minato and Tobirama vs Tobi
Tobirama and Minato stands side-by-side, 30 feet from Tobi.
Tobirama: Minato, are you ready? Remember that this genjutsu makes everyone who's cast in it blind.
Minato: Yes, I am more than ready. Quite some time ago in my living days, Lord Third told me stories about his sensei's legendary jutsu arsenal. I recall the details of this technique.
Tobirama: Okay, prepare yourself. Bringer-of-Darkness!
Darkness slowly falls around the three shinobi until there is nothing but blackness. Only Tobirama's sight remains.
Tobi: (Impressive...it seems not even my sharingan or rinnegan can see through this genjutsu. I'd better stay intangible.)
Minato places his left hand's finger on the ground, thus sensing Tobi's presence and location. He then continuously throws kunai at Tobi, but Tobi's intangibleness renders the kunai flurries useless. Tobirama remains at Minato's side to avoid friendly-fire. Then, Tobirama attacks Tobi with collages Water Dragon Bullets. Again, Tobi just stands in the same spot, easily avoiding the Hokages' assaults. Five minutes passes since Tobi changed into his intangible state, so one of Minato's kunai hits grazes his arm.
Tobi: (What!? I assumed I was able to remain intangible here for an infinite amount of time. Damn this realm and its complexities.)
Tobirama: (There's the sign I've been waiting for. I figured out he wouldn't be able to keep that up for too long. Tobi must've forgotten we have the advantage, being that we've been in this realm for some time now.) Minato, teleport to me when I signal you.
Minato: Right.
Those cast in Bringer-of-Darkness still has their other senses. So to avoid Tobi hearing his footsteps, instead of running, Tobirama jumps and silently lands behind Tobi. Tobirama then traps him in Water Prison Jutsu.
Tobirama: Now!
Minato teleports to Tobirama. The Fourth Hokage then blindly tosses a FTG-marked kunai in the direction of the sound of the water sphere.
Tobi: (Judging by the extreme density of this water, this must be the Second Hokage's Water Prison Jutsu. I cannot even raise my arms to use Shinra Tensei.)
Tobirama: It's finally over, we did it.
Minato: I wouldn't call it a victory until Tobi's heart no longer beats.
Tobi: (I'm at a great disadvantage right now, I must retrieve reinforcements.)
Tobi teleports, sucking in the water and Minato's kunais with him. Tobi's retreats and the flash of light even brightens the genjutsu world of the Bringer-of-Darkness.
Tobirama: No, I had him! It was so close to being over, so close...
Tobirama cancels his genjutsu.
Minato: We still have the upper-hand. Tobi didn't notice that I threw my kunais in the water. That means wherever he went, my Flying Thunder God seals went with him.
Tobirama has a very stunned expression on his face.
Tobirama: So that means you can finally....leave this realm. We..can..all...leave...
Minato: I'd better go after him by myself. I do not know where he went or what awaits me there. Don't worry, Lord Second. I will come back victorious.
Tobirama understands why Minato must go alone.
Tobirama: Okay, I'm going to check on the others. Good luck, Minato.
Minato nods and teleports to one of his kunai that got sucked in with Tobi.
Minato looks around and is shocked at what he sees. A hundred feet away stands a marvelous village a thousand times larger than Konoha. The villagers are smiling ear-to-ear and they all appear to be souls. The sky is golden and the clouds are the brightest white. To the east lies a beautiful, grand forest in which all the animals live in peace with each other.
Minato: (Amazing....this must be the...Heaven Realm....)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12
Minato: (This is incredible.)
The sheer beauty of the Heaven Realm distracts him from his goal. Then, the thought of Tobi taking Kushina and Jiraiya from a such wonderful place reminds Minato of what he must do. He looks around and Tobi is nowhere to be seen.
Minato: (Looks like I've wasted crucial time talking to Tobirama. The last time Tobi retreated, he came back with Jiraiya-sensei and Kushina. My best bet would be that he's going to capture more shinobi as reinforcements. It seems all souls in this realm roams in this remarkable village.)
The Fourth Hokage heads for the village. He enters the village and is concerned with what he sees. Billions of villagers walks the streets of the village. With such a vast amount of souls circuiting around, finding someone in specific is a difficult task.
Minato: (Well, it's nice to see that so many people made it to the Heaven Realm instead of whatever awaits those with wicked hearts.)
Minato searches for Tobi. The scene switches to Tobi's point of view. From the rooftops, Tobi seeks out legendary shinobi to aid him in his fight against the Hokages. Tobi finds the mass amount of villagers to be bothersome.
Tobi: (What a nuisance this is. Oh well, I have more than enough time. The Hokages have no choice but to wait in the Shinigami Realm while I run errands to advance in sealing their fates. Hmph, the convenience of space-time and realm traveling.)
Tobi jumps from rooftop to rooftop, searching the streets for shinobi capable of harming the Hokages' morale. Tobi spots Sakumo Hatake down below cheerfully walking the street with his wife.
Tobi: (The legendary White Fang of the Leaf should be of enough assistance. Also, I'm sure Yondaime will not want to bring harm to his soul, being that he is the father of Kakashi.)
Tobi leaps down from the building to capture Sakumo. The scene switches back to Minato's point of view. From seventy-five feet away, Minato sees Tobi as he jumped down from the rooftop.
Minato: (I can't throw a kunai with all these villagers around. Seems like I must lose the element of surprise.)
Minato runs along the side of buildings and straight for Tobi. Tobi is still unaware of Minato's presence in this realm. Tobi lands ten feet behind Sakumo. He then walks right through the crowd, reaches Sakumo, and materializes to grab him. Minato is now twenty-five feet from Tobi and sees the situation.
Minato: (So, he's trying to capture the White Fang. Not while I'm around.)
As Tobi's hand is inches from Sakumo, Minato finally gets close enough to safely throw a kunai. He throws a kunai and it cuts Tobi's hand off. White liquid oozes from Tobi's arm. Tobi finally realizes that Minato followed him.
Tobi: (How is that possible?! I must retreat again.)
Tobi begins to teleport as Minato is just seconds from reaching him. Sakumo is startled by the hostile occurrence in the middle of such a blissful setting.
Sakumo: Minato Namikaze? What is the meaning of this?
Minato: I'll explain later, I promise.
Before Tobi completely vanishes, Minato throws a FTG kunai at Tobi. Tobi teleports to his new destination and is hit on the shoulder by the kunai. Minato teleports to the kunai and performs his Flying Raijin Level 2, but misses.
Tobi: Don't think you'll get me with that again.
Minato backs up and looks around. There is nothing but wasteland, fire, and lava. Angry and sad souls linger around hopelessly.
Minato: (This must be the Hell Realm.) Tobi! Let's settle this once again, but for good this time. Just me and you.
Tobi: Let's.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13
Tobi throws a black sphere 150 feet above.
Minato: (I've seen this technique before, through Naruto's eyes. It was Pain who used it, though.)
Giant segments of the wasteland rips from the ground and towards the black sphere, lava from nearby volcanoes even gets sucked in by the gravitational pull. A large section of rock rises from underneath Minato. He's pulled in towards the sphere of rock and lava, which is getting bigger and bigger by the second.
Souls: Aaahhhhh!
Nearby souls are tugged by the massive ball and are destroyed by the incoming boulders and lava.
Minato: (This isn't good. Since the land is apart of this realm, it's not physical like the World of the Living's land, which means even a soul can be crushed.)
Minato throws a FTG kunai at the ground in an attempt to teleport away from the carnage, but it is also pulled by Chibaku Tensei. Minato is involuntarily approaching the sphere, just 60 feet away and inclosing.
Minato: (I'm running out of options. I wonder if this would work....)
The Fourth Hokage forms a rasengan and starts to add his element affinity to it until it is a complete Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. He launches it at the center of the Chibaku Tensei. The enormous sphere is completely oblierated, then Minato jumps down and lands in a giant crater. Boulders and lava falls everywhere.
Minato: (Looks like all that training I've done in the Shinigami Realm to add my wind nature to rasengan paid off.)
Tobi stands there, disappointed.
Tobi: (If only I killed him that night, 17 years ago...)
Minato: (It's safe engage him in taijutsu now, being that I cut off one of his hands.)
With a kunai is his left hand and his right hand made into a fist, Minato charges for Tobi. Minato attacks him, but all his assaults are rendered useless due to Tobi's intangible ability. Since Tobi only has one hand, he uses a kicking style of fighting. Minato's reflexes are too quick to be hit by someone who doesn't specialize in taijutsu. They keep fighting close-range, completely on par with each other. Then, Tobi decides to end the taijutsu battle and uses a small Shinra Tensei. Surprised by the change, Minato gets hit by the repulsive technique and is knocked back 15 feet away. He recovers from the blow and rises to his feet.
Minato: I applaud you, not even the second fastest shinobi has been able to hit me. But, it ends here.
Minato makes a clone, weaves a hand sign and holds a FTG kunai in between.

Minato creates his Space-Time Barrier 10 feet behind Tobi, who doesn't notice.
Tobi: (What is he up to? Is that a false hand sign? A diversion?...)
Minato's clone throws a FTG kunai at Tobi, it flies right through him, pass him, and into the barrier. The clone then blitz Tobi, engages him in taijutsu, but not one hit lands. Minato uses the barrier to redirect his clone's FTG kunai at Tobi. Tobi materializes in an attempt to grab the clone, the airborne kunai reaches Tobi, Minato teleports to it and hits the distracted Tobi with a giant rasengan.
Tobi: (Damn it! He must've used that Space-Time Barrier of his to aim the clone's kunai at my back!)
Minato: That was my Flying Raijin, Level 3.
Tobi's arms are completely destroyed, absolutely unrepairable. Tobi is down on his back, temporarily immobile from the attack. Minato walk towards Tobi and stands above him, victorious.
Minato: Try to travel through realms without those eyes you give so much praise to.
Minato pulls out a kunai and slashes Tobi's sharingan and rinnegan. Breaking his mask in the process.
Tobi: Ahhhh!
Tobi's real identity is revealed to Minato.
Minato: (So, that's who he is afterall....Well, it's irrelevant now.)
The Fourth Hokage decides to let him live, being that Tobi will no longer be a threat without his doujutsu.
Minato: Stay here, where you belong.
Tobi screams in agony and defeat.
Minato teleports to Tobirama in the Shinigami Realm. Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen all stand together, awaiting Minato's arrival. Kushina and Jiraiya as well, they've been waiting ever since they've got their conscious back.
Kushina: Minato!!
She affectionately tackles him.
Minato: Kushina, my love. There aren't words to describe how much I've missed you.
They kiss with extreme passion.
Jiraiya: Hey! You two lovebirds get a room.
Minato and Kushina stops kissing and laughs.
Minato: Jiraiya-sensei! You're as lively as always!
Jiraiya: Hmph, I've been put in worse situations. Being captured, cast in genjutsu, and forced to fight my old sensei is no biggy.
Everyone laughs.
Hashirama: Young Minato, I had no doubt that you would come back successful. I pity those who angers a shinobi with a strong Will of Fire.
Tobirama: Yes, I knew you would keep your promise. The time of your arrival was the only concern.
Hiruzen: Minato-boy, Lord Second informed us with great news while you were gone. Is it true.....we can finally leave this realm?
Minato: Yes, yes we can.
Everyone can't help but to smile from the amazing news. Minato grabs Kushina's hand. The other 3 Hokages each put a hand on Minato's shoulder. Jiraiya places his hand on top of Minato's head, like a father would do to a son.
Jiraiya: (I'm so proud.)
Minato: Everyone ready?
They all nod.
Jiraiya: You're going to love the Heaven Realm, there are so many babes!
Kushina punches Jiraiya in the face.
Kushina: Pervy-Sage, I'm his wife ya know!
Hiruzen: Haha, leave it to Jiraiya-boy to ruin a moment.
Everyone chuckles.
Minato: Okay, here we go.
Minato teleports himself and the others to the kunai he left in the Heaven Realm. The Hokages finally get the fate they deserve...
Back in the World of the Living...
Tobi-cloned Zetsu battles Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and Bee.
Tobi-cloned Zetsu suddenly stops fighting. Through Tobi's white Zetsu spores, Tobi-cloned Zetsu can sense he's been defeated.
Tobi-cloned Zetsu: (So, it turns out Tobi's plan didn't turn out as expected. Now, it's up to me to see his goal completed.)
Naruto: Hey! What are you zoning out for?! I'm your opponent!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
