The Keres adds some special effects to the general destruction.

Zetsu is quick, nearly slipping away -

But between them they can isolate him from the earth - and from anyone he can possess - and Naruto can charge up something capable of ripping him to shreds, even where he's resistant to anyone else's actual powers.

That seems to have gone smoothly enough.

"Easier when he doesn't have an army, huh..."

"Or a goddess to back."

"And now for the Akatsuki?"

"Figure? The ones I can feel are Pein and Konan - I'd like to take those two, they're the leaders of a nation and I think I can talk them down without destabilizing things - and then the zombie twins Hidan and Kakuzu, who I've fought, Kisame, who I haven't fought, and Deidara and Obito. Also can feel Kabuto, I think by now he's allied with Akatsuki and he's a pain in the ass in general - he'll probably have more of his undead, especially if we give him warning..."

She makes a face. "I have zero problems with wiping Kabuto off the face of this planet. Preferably without giving him a chance to talk - he's annoying. I can handle his undead."

"I can point you guys to your old renegade team, then you two take Kabuto and Kisame - I think you've studied his fighting - I talk down Pein and Konan... How we split up the rest probably doesn't matter much, except someone who can move dimensions should fight Obito. Who I can maybe also talk down but it'd be riskier..."

"My thoughts exactly. With more stabbing and less talk therapy."

He snorts.

"I would like to see the zombie twins."

"We'll take Deidara and Obito, then."

"Kabuto first, then?"

"Absolutely. With a stop to fetch a tracker of our own, but that shouldn't take too long."

"Then let's begin."

Tentou nods, opening a portal and stepping through.

"Where'd you take Hisame?" the woman on the other side asks immediately - she seems to have been ready for them, flanked by two men - one, slim, with white hair and a massive sword, and the other enormous, with orange hair and a deep frown.

"It's good to see you too, Karin. I'm an alternate universe Hisame. We fixed the mind control on her, and she's recovering in another world, well away from all this. And, yes, that did require killing her - which I am sorry about."

The two men trade looks, while Karin frowns. "We'll want to see her - but for now, you've been picking fights here. What do you want from us?"

"We're taking down major threats to this world. Kabuto is ready to set an army of Edo Tensei against everyone. The shadow was planning worse. We'd like your help with tracking down Kabuto and the Akatsuki's members."

"As long as I get Kisame's sword, I'm good," the white haired man says, grinning.

Karin flicks her gaze at him, frowning deeper. "Alright. We're in," she says.

"Excellent! One of my alts controls Madness, by the way - she should be able to help Juugo with his rages. Probably best if after that we drop Suigetsu and Juugo on you guys' Hisame - we'll be moving fast, you understand."

"I don't think any of us have a problem avoiding fights over our head," she says. "Who are your friends?"

"I'm her girlfriend."

"I can tell other Hisame likes you, so - I'll see how our Hisame's doing, I guess."

"But let's get the Akatsuki dead, first."
