We won

Mizuki amongst the hopeful eyes of the Ninja walked upto the floating Kaguya and stared into her eyes.

Kaguya only blinked with a dazed look when Mizuki took his stance, are they going to fight now? But she wanted to..

* Booom *

As the confrontation that shook the planet began, Ninja's looked helpless, all they could do was pray, as even their enemy side had stopped fighting in this chaos.

That was because the leader of Akatsuki himself had stopped.

Nagato couldn't believe his eyes, his entire plan had been worthless to being with, ten tails was this woman and he just foolishly revived her.

Worst of all, he was now being saved by the same Konoha that had pushed him on this path to being with.

" What a cruel twist of fate. "

Said Nagato as he exhaled, his hunched back became even more hunched as he saw no path to peace.

" Konan, If evey path leads to war is there ever going to be real peace? Is our dream with Yahiko meaningless? "

Asked Nagato, and his words were quite audible to Naruto who was fighting him a few minutes ago and was standing a short distance away from him.

So before Konan could think of what to answer Nagtao, Naruto yelled with his enthusiasm shooting through the roof.

" Hell yeah there is! Mizuki sensei is the best! He's going to mop the floor with this ghost lady! So you stop moping around! "

Naruto's yell attracted the attention of many Ninja, and it also attracted Nagtao who looked at Naruto with grim eyes.

Not aware that the longer he talks to Naruto, the more he would fall into the trap of his natural Ninshu, talk no jutsu was a tangible thing, not a simple joke.

" Peace can't be achieved by simply being the best, that has nothing to do with peace, your best Nature is only used for war! "

Nagato spat the last sentence as he went into a coughing fit, to which Konan quickly began patting his back.

Getting rid of his coughing he waved at Konan and looked at Naruto grimly, who wasn't affected in the least.

Naruto soon spoke his own mind with full confidence.

" That's what you think! Mizuki sensei has saved more lives than I can count! If anyone can defeat the ghost lady, it's him! "

Nagato looked at Naruto with daze, why did this boy have so much trust in the spectre? Maybe he would purposely let an attack fall on them, maybe he would ostracize them after the war.

So what-

" So what gives you the confidence to say Spectre won't let anyone get killed unfairly, even us, his enemies?! "

Nagato almost yelled with the vigor he didn't know he had remaining, he wanted to know what was giving this boy so much hope, the hope he had lost.

" That's because I trust Mizuki sensei! He has saved me when no one else did. "

The entire Ninja coalition near Naruto was also hearing this, as Naruto's voice is just too loud.

And Mei was amongst them as well, so she found this a fantastic time to chime in.

" Leader of the Akatsuki, this boy is right, we might truly kill you the first chance we get, but Anata, he's different, he even let me go when I tried to kill him, I should have died that time you know. "

Mei spoke with a smile as she pushed her hair back with grace. Yagura also said calmly.

" Leader of Akatsuki, while I can't say about the future, spectre has only helped Mist, even being of Konoha, he never once took the chance to worsen our situation. He's a reliable man, Mist has full faith in him. "

Hearing this many Konoha Shinobi and Mist Shinobi nodded with faith visible in their eyes, something which Nagato could see clearly.

" You.. he could be lying! "

Screamed Nagato, how did this happen?! There was so much faith, so was he the one making war and not peace?!

Tsunade saw the look Nagtao was giving and realised the feeling he was going through, she had seen these eyes many times during the war.

" You are Nagtao aren't you..? I don't know what has pushed Jiraya's best disciple to do this, but have trust in Mizuki, he has always been reliable. "

Tsunade laughed remembering her alcoholic state and how he had rescued her from drowning in pain.

Tsunade's laugh was the trigger, many people started to praise Mizuki on their own, Mist and Leaf had the best things to say about him, he had been so loved by them that Mist even forgot Spectre wasn't a hero of their village.

" All of you.. he.. but he might lose! "

Nagato made a last feeble call, he could see it now, when two great villages have so much trust on the same man, something was going right.

Maybe given enough time, Mizuki would truly bring peace to the entire Ninja world..

And the next words of the coalition confirmed his thoughts.

" We won't let him fall, when he can't take it, we would help! "

A Leaf Jonin said with full determination to die.

" Mist would not let their hero fall, we would pile up with our lives if need be. "

Yagura said calmly to which Mist Shinobi cheered with the special enthusiasm of blood mist, a grim look with confidence for the future.

" He has helped my son in his worst of times, for Gaara, sand will stand with him. "

Said Rasa as he gave Tsunade a small smirk, haha, he made sure to show his relationship with Gaara after all! Now sand could rise again, suck it Hokage.

" Ninja coalition wouldn't be formed if spectre didn't convince everyone, I can give my word, Stone won't stand in his way. "

Kurotsuchi said, they would have been divided and destroyed if not for spectre helping them out, and seeing his strength, Kurotsuchi knew standing with him was better than against him.

" ...Lightining won't stand in the way of spectre. "

Said Darui after a moment of contemplation, even if he very much wanted to destroy the Akatsuki in it's entirety, for killing A, B and Ni.

But he was a smart man, four villages stood with him, him acting out would destroy their village and the moral of coalition completely.

So he compromised, they would act later according to the situation.

" Child with rinnegan you would be a fool to not trust the reincarnation of the creator. "

The white snake sage hissed, her hiss was loud enough to reach the entire coalition force, Akatsuki and Nagato.

Who looked with shock.

" Creator? "

Snake sage laughed loudly as she hissed out facts.

" The woman he is fighting now, is Mizuki Senju's previous life! She is the one who created this ninja world, the very first one to possess chakra was her! "

" What?! "

Nagato wasn't the only one shocked out of his mind, the entire coalition was too, and the Snake sage was thrilled, she always wanted to show the toads and slugs how amazing her backer was.

Nagato's eyes widened with a look of realisation as he spoke.

" So he is the cause of this deformed ninja world! A world filled with wars?! "

Before white snake sage could argue, Zetsu Obito jumped up.

" What do you know?! She stopped all wars! But she was sealed! betrayed by her two sons! She had to desperately divide her power before being sealed, and that power is - "

" I see! That power is Mizuki Senju! It all makes sense now! "

Exclaimed white snake sage as she cut off black zetsu mid sentence, and he gave her a hate filled look, you snake! I was just about to show how hard I worked for mother!

I am that power! Not father! Shit!

" Child with rinnegan, do you see it now? Ancestor was always one being, Mizuki and Kaguya are part of the same power, split apart eons ago! "

Nagtao's pupils shook, so that's it huh, someone was always working for peace behind the scenes for thousands of years.

" I see.. I understand, even after being betrayed, spectre knew wars would rage again, so he decided to come back, he took so much time to revive because he had lost a lot of power didn't he..? "

Concluded Nagato, Konan also spoke with a dazed look as she looked at the two fighting, which almost looked like sparring...?

" So why are they fighting? "

And at that moment Mizuki received a shockwave to his stomach and fell down with a bang.

The coalition got tensed as Kaguya floated down.

The veins around her eyes made her look extremely menacing, but nobody was afraid anymore.

Even Nagtao as he gave Mizuki a stare and then gave Konan a firm look.

" Konan, I see it now, if there is going to be peace, it would be through him. So let me do it Konan. "

Konan put her hands on her mouth as her tears threatened to spill.

" Nagato.. "

Nagtao only smiled, as he gently looked at her the last time, and then put his hands together.

His chakra boiled as his rinnegan shone, the immense vitality of Uzumaki Nagtao was about to be unleashed, for the sake of peace he decided to burn himself.

" You. "

But his eyes shrunk as he saw Kaguya had now somehow teleported infront of Mizuki.

He was too late to stop her!

" You.. Let's get married now..? "

* Poof *

Nagtao spat out blood as he almost coughed out his lungs, what the fuck?!

" Haaaah?! "

Deidara also yelled as he sat down on the ground, the hell was he fighting for then?

" Marriage? "

Mizuki's eye twitched, he was lying here all defeated and clone Mizuki was ready to try and save his soul, this was supposed to be the moment he got stabbed through the heart.

But he wasn't..

" Marriage huh..? I would like that. "

Said Mizuki as he got up with a smile and dusted himself up, Kaguya also gave a short smile of her own and hugged Mizuki.

* Whoom *

As soon as they hugged, the couple fell backwards and space cracked open behind them.

* Whoom *

And just like that the duo fell through the space crack to god knows where, and the space crack shortly vanished afterwards.

* Hissss *

Snake sage hissed, she felt she needed to say something here, to rub it all in the face of the toads and Slug, she was the final winner!

" You see it now! Why they were fighting! It was but a lover's quarrel! They were playing around with each other! "

Konan looked at the decimated surroundings and raging volcanic matter, then twitched her lips.

" Lover's quarrel you say.. "

Snake sage hissed as she nodded sagely, yes, two halves of the same energy united at last, they were made for each other.

Naruto didn't understand a lot of it, so he scratched his head

" So do we go home now..? Is there Ramen at Sensei's marriage? "

Asked Naruto which immediately caused Tsunade to smile, then laugh out loud.

" Yes Naruto, we go home now, this war.. "

Giving a peaceful smile Tsunade whispered.

" It's over. "
