"Not as far as we're aware."

"Right, then."

"I can go ahead and portal us, unless we want to do more planning?"

"After Zetsu, we may want to split up to deal with the other members of Akatsuki."

"Hit them hard and fast? Naruto can help track, and I know someone else in that world who's a good sensor - and will likely want news of how Naraka's doing. That gives us two groups..."

"The Nine Tails can link my clones, and I can maintain a lot, especially if they're not in the center of the fighting."

"We'll also need to consider transportation."

"If we're choosy enough about how we split up - I can manage transportation for my group, and it's easy enough just to stick me in a separate group from Hisame and the Keres."

"That seems to suggest two groups as the natural split."

"Yeah. More groups to hit than two, but we can move fast."

"With luck, that will be enough."

"And with skill."

"Quite."

"So two groups. Tentou and the Keres, and- everyone else?"

She giggles. "Unless anyone wants to volunteer to join those two."

"I think they can handle themselves."

"We are quite competent."

"So I think we're ready to go."

Then a portal it is! Tentou waits to be the last one through.

Everyone else obligingly proceeds her.

Naruto steps aside and closes his eyes when he's through, slowly developing a golden glow. His eyes, when they open, are orange. "I'm not at full power, yet, but this'll help me with sensing."

He points north.

"That way. He hasn't made his army of white Zetsu yet; it's just the black shadow - the dangerous one - and one white Zetsu. The white Zetsu can control plants. The black Zetsu can possess people. I don't think they're expecting us."

"Let's move quickly, then." Anyone who needs a lift can have one.

That's pretty much only Mora, of the Crows.

Naruto can apparently fly at shinobi speeds.

He also gets increasingly intensely glowy over the short flight, and, when they reach the mountain Zetsu's hiding under, manifests a massive golden fox under him.

Their opening move is vaporizing the mountain.

Tentou laughs and lands on the fox's back, her spectral armor unfolding around him to aid his blows.

She wreathes the spears of wood that race for them in black fire, covering deftly for Naruto and the fox's weaknesses, aiding their strengths.
