Shinigami Realm- A timeless dimension within the Death God itself. All souls taken by the Shinigami exist in this realm. This dimension is white and blank. All souls appear the way their physical vessels were when their souls left the Human Realm. Also, all souls who enter this realm have unlimited chakra.The story begins...
Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen and Minato, the four former Hokages, are sitting on wooden chairs that Hashirama created and having a discussion over a wooden table that was also created by Hashirama. Minato looks up at a floating, wooden cage containing a giant orb of orange chakra.
Minato: Lord First, I couldn't thank you enough for suppressing the kyuubi's chakra. I would've been driven mad if the sinister chakra roamed freely.
Hashirama: Young Minato, the pleasure is mine. You have spread on the Will of Fire to the next generation, so it's the least I can do.
Hiruzen: Yes, I couldn't have wished for a better successor.
Tobirama: I also couldn't have dreamed of someone better to choose to keep the Will of Fire burning brightly.
Hashirama: Same goes for you, younger brother.
Hashirama: Plus, through my Mokuton, I can sense that the kyuubi's chakra is becoming less sinister, thus becoming less of a nuisance to control. Minato, do you think it has anything to do with your boy, Naruto?
Minato: Most certainly. The last time I've seen him, he was an amazing 16 year old shinobi. With his......mother's Uzumaki blood, his father's dreams and our.....master Jiraiya's teachings, he is sure to one day master the Demon Fox. After seeing what a fine shinobi he has become at such a young age, I think it's safe to say that he will soon surpass us all.
Hiruzen: Indeed.
Tobirama: Very reassuring.
Hashirama: So it seems the Uzumaki clan can finally rest in peace and substain their good name.
Minato: Definitely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hashirama: Oh...forgive me. It seems I've forgotten how even hearing the word "Uzumaki" makes you feel.
Minato: It's okay. Yes, I miss Kushina and Naruto, but I know they are happy, they would want me to be happy. So, I will try my best to make the feeling mutual.
Hiruzen: We share your pain, for I greatly miss Biwako.
Hashirama: *sigh* Mito......
Tobirama: I can't say I feel the same. I was far too dedicated in my jutsu research, specifically Edo Tensei. What a mistake that was. If I haven't had created that regrettable technique, then my brother and I would be in the Heaven Realm right now, living eternally in peace.
Hiruzen: Forgive me, sensei. If I hadn't failed my student, Orochimaru, you and Lord First wouldn't be burdened to exist in this realm. Also, I should've thought of a better way to seal your souls....
Hashirama: Enough you two. You haven't even a chance at peace if you two won't forgive yourselves. Plus, if existing forever with fellow Leaf shinobi is a burden then I'll gladly accept it.
Minato: Agreed. Although, I just can't believe that this is our final destination. I just can't believe we are fated to never see our loved ones again. There has to be a way out of here, but how?
Hashirama: Hmmmmm.....
Hiruzen: *sigh*
Tobirama: How?.....how?
Minato: I've thought this through once, before you three got here. Now with the four of our minds working out the problem, then maybe a solution will be found.
The four Hokages think in unison.
Hiruzen: I've got nothing.
Hashirama: Same....
Tobirama: Sorry, it seems my jutsu intelligence renders useless in this situation.
Minato: (Kushina......Naruto)There just has to be a way!!
All four: !!!!!
An enormous blinding flash of light appears about 10 feet away from the Hokages. Instinctively they all jump from their chairs and prepare to attack as soon as the flash is gone. Minato readies a Rasengan, Hiruzen takes out shuriken to prepare his Shadow Shuriken jutsu, Tobirama weaves a sign for a water jutsu, and Hashirama prepares to use his Mokuton. The light dims down until it is completely gone. The four of them rub their eyes and looks toward where the flash came from. They see a man standing there....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tobirama: Impossible, that eye...
Hashirama: I don't...believe...it..
Hiruzen: No way...
Hashirama: You are....the Sage of The Six Paths!
Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Hashirama each gets down on one knew and bows their heads. Minato stays standing in an aggressive stance, hands trembling...
Hiruzen: Minato boy, show some respect for the true God of Shinobi.
Minato clenches his teeth while he speaks, a sure sign of anger. He even has a hard time getting his words out, due to his mysterious rage.
Minato: Show...respect...for the...man..that attacked Konoha...17 years ago? Show respect...for the man..who attempted to kill my...son...and killed me and my wife?
Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzrn all are confused. The man denies nothing Minato spoke of...
Minato: Yes, his left eye is the legendary rinnegan. But take a look at his right eye.
Hashirama: *gasp* a sharingan!
The three mistaken Hokages rise slowly into defensive positions.
Minato: Also, since when have you heard a story of the Sage of the Six Paths in which he wears a mask?
Tobirama: Never...
Hashirama: None that I recall of..
Hiruzen: Same..
Minato: Lords, he is none other than the masked man that attacked Konoha and unleashed the kyuubi 17 years ago!
Tobi: Indeed I am. Nice to see you again, fourth Hokage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tobi: I'm honored to meet you all...but my honor will not save you.
Minato: .....
Hiruzen: ....
Tobirama: .....
Hashirama: The way you entered this realm is absolutely different then the way we entered. How did you get here?
Tobi: You see, my sharingan allows me to travel through space and time. With the extraordinary powers of my rinnegan combined with my space-time technique, I can travel through realms.....without bieng dead. Also, I can obliterate souls, erasing one's existence completely with my rinnegan's human path ability.
Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen all jump back 50 feet. Minato doesn't move an inch.
Minato: Lords, remember he can teleport without seals, so distance won't be a factor.
Tobirama: Right.
The three jump back to Minato's side.
Minato: Well, what do you want with us? We're dead after all. Your hatred towards the Leaf couldn't be that strong, so strong that you want to try to destroy all Hokages.
Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen: *gasp*
Hashirama: If you so much as touched a hair on my granddaughter!
Hiruzen: I hope for your sake that she is alive and healthy!
Tobi: Hmph. No, no. I can assure you that the fifth Hokage is alive, but I can't promise that she's healthy. You see, I declared war on the entire shinobi world. My...ally, Kabuto, has perfected your technique, Tobirama. He has summoned many formidable shinobi to increase our morale, including Madara Uchiha, who is fighting your dear Tsunade as we speak.
All four Hokages: !!!!
Hashirama: No!....why does she have to fight Madara?....why him?
Tobirama: I have doomed them all with my creation....sorry my grandniece.
Hiruzen: She's still too young...
Minato: Have faith my friends, as long as she carries the Will of Fire then there is hope. Masked man, wha-
Tobi: You can call me Tobi.
Minato: .....Tobi, what is Naruto doing in this war?
Tobi: Well, I'm fighting him right now.
All four Hokages: ??
Tobi: Let me explain myself. I had my partner, Zetsu, clone me to keep Naruto busy while I take care of more important matters.
Minato: What would those matters be?
Tobi: For one, I need to gather the kyuubi's chakra that has been sealed with you, Minato.
Minato: And two?
Tobi: I need to destroy all your souls. I fear my partner Kabuto has found a way to summon you all from this realm. He will use the extreme power of the Hokages against me when the war is over. As you know, shinobi in their edo forms are much more dangerous because the only way to defeat them is to seal them. So I'll rather get rid of you all now while you're just souls.
Hiruzen: Well, why can't you just attack Kabuto?
Tobi: He is suspicious of me as I am him so attacking him would be a risk I am not willing to take.
Minato nods his head to the other Hokages.
Minato: I see, well let's get to it, Tobi.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiruzen pulls out a shuriken and Minato notices.
Minato: (He's going to use his Shadow Shuriken jutsu) Lord Third, it's useless. Tobi can become intangi-
Hiruzen: Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!
Tobi: As the Fourth Hokage said, it's usel-
The shuriken makes contact with Tobi.
Tobi: Impossible!
He then materializes and the shuriken goes right through him. Minato stand there, confused.
Tobi: (I'd better stay on the defensive for now)
Hiruzen: Minato, I've interrupted your sentence, what was it you were going to speak of?
Minato: Well, it's strange. When I fought Tobi that night of my death, he was able to become intangible, thus making my attacks render useless. The only way I got him was with my Flying Raijin Level 2, a technique that requires perfect timing and the element of surprise. But, the jutsu you've just performed lacked the element of surprise and timing, so he should've turned intangible and avoided the attack, but that obviously didn't happen. The shuriken made contact when he became intangible and the shuriken went through him when he materialized. Hmmm....
Hiruzen: What does all of this mean?
Tobi: (I myself would also like to know why my technique is switched around...)
Minato: I've came to the conclusion that because the four of us are souls and Tobi is alive, we cannot touch him. He shouldn't even be able to see us.
Hashirama: It must be another remarkable ability of the Rinnegan to be able to see souls.
Tobirama: It seems so.
Hiruzen: Well that still hasn't broken the surface to how my shuriken hit him when he becomes intangible.
Minato: I'd say it's because his intangible state is very similar to that of a soul's. Living objects cannot touch souls or ghost, nor can they touch Tobi when he's intangible. Souls and Tobi's intangibleness are basically the same kind of form, that is your shuriken made contact with him while he was intangible. Well, intangible to objects of the real world, I should say. His normal state is intangible for is since we are souls.
Tobi: (I see. So, this means I'm going to fight them the opposite of how I would fight someone who's living)
Minato: Remember he must "materalize" to warp someone, so do not let him touch you. Also, it seems his Rinnegan powers gives him extraordinary powers, so extraordinary that he can be even be a threat to beings not of the real world, so be cautious.
Hashirama: We are souls, which means we are only made up of chakra. Tobi is alive, which means he is mostly made up of flesh. Things of nature like medicine, drugs, poison, and pollen have no effect on us, but as for Tobi...
Tobirama: Brother, I understand where you are getting at. Minato, Hiruzen, jump!
Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Minato all jump as high as they can.
Hashirama: Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A grand forest of flowering trees emerges from underneath Hashirama. Minato, Hiruzen, and Tobirama lands on a giant peddle. A bundle of roots makes it way toward Tobi with deadly speed. But, the roots go straight through him.
Hashirama: What a nuisance of an ability.
Minato: Indeed it is, but we will find a way to defeat him.
Tobirama: Yes, we will. But we're going to have to be able to see him in order to do that.
Due to Hashirama's large scale jutsu, Tobi is out of the Hokages' sight.
Minato: This isn't good. Tobi can roam through the forest without making the slightest noise, due to his intangibleness. I'd better mark you all with my Flying Thunder God seal, so I can be of assistance if anything sudden were to happen.
Minato places the FTG seal on Tobirama and Hiruzen. Then, he jumps down to Hashirama to do the same. As Minato is in the air, a few yards from Hashirama, somewhere down in the forest....
Tobi: Shinra Tensei!
The entire forest is destroyed from the inside out. Thanks to Minato's legendary reflexes, he avoids the impact and teleports to Tobirama and Hiruzen and catches them. Minato didn't make it to Hashirama in time to place his FTG seal on him. So, Hashirama was sent soaring in the air, out of the reach of the other Hokages. Hashirama came crashing down at high speeds and hit the ground with a devastating thump.
Minato and Hiruzen: !!!!
Tobirama: Hashirama!
They all went running to his aid. As they ran toward him, his form turns into wood.
Tobirama: A wood clone? Thank the heavens.
From behind, Hashirama emerges from a destroyed root.
Hashirama: I'm fine. I've studied the rinnegan in my living days, so I know it would be wise to prepare if I were to ever go against it. Therefore, I made a clone. But, I am not sure what would've happened if I did collide with the ground with such force, being that we're souls.
Minato: Interesting...that has never occured to me. We have sparred each other many times in this form, but this is our first real battle in this realm. I doubt that our souls will be obliterated by something physical like an impact or impalement, but let's not take the risk.
Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen nods in agreement.
Hiruzen: Let us get back to the matter at hand.
All four Hokages turn their heads to Tobi, who is staring at them with an observatory look in his eyes.
Tobi: (It seems the Fourth Hokage hasn't marked the First with the Flying Thunder God seal. In that case....)
Tobi raises his left arm and faces his palm toward Hashirama. Hashirama hovers above the ground and is involuntarily pulled toward Tobi.
Minato: This isn't good!
Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Minato runs toward Hashirama, but it is too late. Hashirama is already halfway to Tobi and the gravitational pull is too strong and fast. Hashirama is now fifteen feet from Tobi.
Tobi: Your soul is mine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In desperation, Hiruzen throws Enma in staff form pass Hashirama and towards Tobi. Tobi goes intangible and is forced to negate the gravitational pull, Hashirama falls 4 feet in front of Tobi. Minato quickly grabs Hashirama, places the FTG seal on him, and jumps back. Enma turns into his true form and attempts to hit Tobi.
Tobi: Despicable creature.
Enma punches straight through Tobi's head, Tobi materalizes and grab Enma's neck. After Minato, Hiruzen, and Tobirama checks Hashirama's condition to confirm he's alright, Hiruzen realizes the situation with Tobi and Enma.
Hiruzen: Enma!!!
In the grasp of Tobi's chokehold, Enma looks at Hiruzen.
Enma: It's been an honor fight to have fought alongside you, farewell my old friend.
Tobi then turns Enma's soul into nothing. Completely erasing his existence.
Hiruzen: Nooooo!
Hiruzen falls to one knee, trembling with anger. Minato, Tobirama, and Hashirama each puts a hand on Hiruzen's shoulder.
Hashirama: Enma saved my life, what an honorable shinobi he was. His soul will not be forgotten. Let us end this battle and avenge him.
Hiruzen raises to both feet.
Hiruzen: (Enma, I will see have you avenged.)
Minato: Okay, time to get serious and defeat this madman. Not only for Enma, but for the entire shinobi world. He is far too dangerous to allow him back into the world of the living and cause chaos in the lives of innocents!
Tobi: Hmph. I'd better get serious as well.
A great flash of light like the one that came from Tobi's entrance into the Shinigami Realm, blinds the Hokages. When the light fades, Tobi is gone.
Tobirama: What is the meaning of this? What a pitiful coward.
Minato: Lords, I don't think he retreated...
Another flash of light, like the last two, brightly shines in the realm. Briefly blinding the Hokages again.
Hashirama: Tobi must be back! Prepare yourselves.
The light fades. Tobi stands there. On the left of Tobi stands a woman with long, red hair. On the right of him, stands a man with long, white hair. Both the woman and man has a blank expression on their face.
Minato and Hiruzen: !!!!
Minato: Jiraiya sensei!?......Kushina!?
