A.N: And now, ladies and gentleman, the final chapter of the prologue. That means we will soon begin the very first campaign. Be sure to read the following because it's important.

*Important Stuff*

The first campaign will take place in the Fairy Tail World. That's right, everyone, the Fairy Tail Campaign is up first. No, we will not just have the people from the Fairy Tail World participate. Everyone is participating. This story will either be placed in the Bleach/Naruto crossovers, like the prologue, or it will be placed in the One Piece/Fairy Tail crossovers, I haven't decided. Keep an eye on either one if you've enjoyed the prologue.

*End Important Stuff*

So, I hope you all enjoy the final chapter, which deals with the preparations for war. Enjoy everyone!

Chapter 13: Preparations

Three days after the mass occupation of the four worlds by Konton's forces, Chitsujo gathered the leaders and several other prominent members of the armies back in his Kingdom once more. Behind each leader were nominees for division leaders.

Shunsui Kyōraku had plenty of picks as division leaders. However, he had to eliminate some for several reasons. Kenpachi Zaraki, while powerful, had little regard for strategy. While that would work in a one-on-one fight, it would not work in a war that required tactics and troop movement. Jūshirō Ukitake, while powerful and trustworthy, would have been far too hindered by his tuberculosis. Leading a squad was stressful enough. Leading a division of this magnitude would have been far too stressful for the veteran captain. Mayuri Kurotsuchi was easily the weakest captain and not a team player, he was more suited to some sort of intelligence division. Soifon would rather serve under Yoruichi Shihōin (which was why Yoruichi was there and not Soifon). That left Rōjūrō 'Rose' Ōtoribashi, Shinji Hirako, Byakuya Kuchiki, Sajin Komamura, Kensei Muguruma, and Tōshirō Hitsugaya. Rose, Sajin, and Tōshirō were long shots for different reasons. Kensei was a dark horse amongst the pickings. However, Shinji and Byakuya were definite possibilities. That left Yoruichi; she is a possibility in a stealth division. She is, after all, the Flash Master of the Stealth Force.

Shanks had brought Benn Beckman, arguably one of the smartest men in the world. There was no doubt in his mind that Beckman would make a fine addition to an intelligence division. He had also invited Marco the Phoenix, the current leader of the once-great Whitebeard Pirates. Marco was one of the strongest people he knew and had become a friend since Whitebeard's death. He trusted Marco to be a good leader.

Monkey D. Dragon, who had many people on edge due to his mysterious personality, brought his second-in-command, Sabo. Many people were unsure of what to make of the young Chief-of-Staff of the Revolutionary Army. However, Dragon was well aware of how immensely powerful Sabo was. He trained the boy himself. There was no doubt in Dragon's mind that he was going to argue relentlessly for Sabo to be a division commander. That being said, he knew nothing of how strong everyone else was.

Tsunade's addition to this meeting was Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi had made quite an impression on the other leaders, especially those in the Pirate World, when word of him going toe-to-toe with the infamous Rob Lucci got out. Added to his reputation in the Ninja World, there was no doubt in Tsunade's mind that Kakashi would be a strong candidate to represent the Ninja World.

Gaara had brought Baki as his possible candidate. Gaara had seen plenty of stronger people, so he knew Baki's chances were slim. However, he still trusted Baki greatly and would gladly entrust him with the responsibility of leading a division.

With Kawamaru dead, Mei did not have many big name Shinobi to bring along. However, she knew of Chōjūrō's improvement and brought him along as a possibility for a stealth division commander.

A could have brought Killer B, considering that this was not a war to protect the Jinchūriki, like last time. However, he chose not to, due to B's disregard for strategy. So he chose his proclaimed 'right arm', Darui. Darui's Storm Style, along with his skills in Kenjutsu, made him extremely formidable. Something he proved in the last war when he almost singlehandedly defeated the resurrected Gold and Silver Brothers, something the Raikage himself had almost set out to do. To do something that the Raikage almost went out to do himself had been a true testament to Darui's prowess as a Shinobi.

Ōnoki chose to bring along his son and most trusted Shinobi, Kitsuchi. Kitsuchi was an unsung hero in the war. People always remembered Darui taking down Ginkaku and Kinkaku, Kakashi Hatake leading an attack against the resurrected Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist, Gaara taking on his father, and Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha defeating Madara Uchiha. However, Kitsuchi's prowess alone had decimated the Zetsu Clone Army the Akatsuki had sent. He would be a fine division leader based off of that alone.

Like before, Mifune chose to bring himself as a representative of the Land of Iron. As general of the Samurai, not Kage, Mifune was not restricted the way the Five Kage were. Mifune, however, did not care if he was a division leader. He simply wanted to fight for the sake of harmony.

Makarov had brought along three of his S-Class Wizards; Erza Scarlet, Laxus Dreyar, and Gildarts Clive. He wanted to bring Mirajane Strauss along, but she had insisted that she would make a terrible division leader. Makarov had the utmost confidence in his children. Each of them would make fine division leaders. He had also brought along Jellal Fernandes, former member of the Ten Wizard Saints. Jellal had reformed after clashing with Natsu, Erza, and the rest of their team and was now considered Fairy Tail's ally. Jellal was an excellent tactician and extraordinarily powerful, even without his eyes. Speaking of his eyes, Makarov made a mental note to send Jellal to that Ichigo to have his eyes healed.

Ooba brought Jura Neekis of the Ten Wizard Saints with her. After being overjoyed to hear that Lyon had regained his arm, Ooba brought Jura along to the second meeting, knowing that as the top Wizard Saint behind the four 'Gods' amongst the Saints, he would be a leader for sure.

Bob had brought Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki, who was busy sniffing the 'parfume' of Tsunade (which resulted in him getting his head pounded into the hardwood floor). Bob knew that Ichiya was a long shot for that exact reason. However, Ichiya was still Blue Pegasus' ace.

Reina had brought her adopted daughter, Kagura. She knew Kagura had to be considered. She was one of the few people to have ever fought on par with thee Titania Erza of the Fairy Tail Guild.

Goldmine brought Bacchus Groh, the ace of Quatro Cerberus. Like Bob, Goldmine knew that his pick was also a long shot. However, Bacchus was still strong. Also, Goldmine owed it to Bacchus to show confidence in him as thanks for his loyalty.

Sting, of course, brought his closest friend, Rogue Cheney. Sting was confident in Rogue, that was certainly true. However, he was also aware of how strong some of the other people at this meeting were. He simply decided that if Rogue was picked than great. If not, than that's fine too.

Chitsujo looked at them all. "Well now," he said, "considering the past few days we've all had, I'm sure you all want to get down to business."

Everyone nodded at this. "My kingdom will serve as the link between all four worlds. It will be our HQ of HQ's so to speak. While I will remain in command here and keep Konton from taking over this link, I need a supreme commander who will command from whatever HQ we will have when we campaign to take back whatever world we fight in."

Chitsujo looked at the leaders. "I will let you all decided this. Nominate someone you believe will be right for this immense responsibility. You may not vote for yourselves, and once we reach the leaders of the divisions ran by the people you've brought here, you may not vote for your guy."

Shanks did not hesitate. "I nominate Monkey D. Dragon, the Revolutionary, as the Military Commander of this alliance."

Great, Ōnoki thought, the most mysterious member of this group is nominated.

A scoffed at this. "With all due respect, Shanks, we know nothing about this man. How can you expect us to support such a nomination?"

Dragon got out of his seat and looked at A. "How durable are you, Lord Raikage?" Dragon asked.

Shanks eyes widened at this. "Dragon, there's no need to…"

"Lord Raikage is right, they know nothing of me. So, it's time they know something about me." Said Dragon.

"I'm quite durable," A said, getting out of his seat, "I can survive anything you throw at me."

With that, A powered up his Lightning Armor. Darui sighed at this. "Sorry." He muttered.

"Lord Raikage, Dragon, please don't do this." Chitsujo pleaded.

Dragon looked at Chitsujo. "I won't kill him, Chitsujo." He replied to him.

Dragon pointed his hand at A. "Tornado." He said simply.

A green gust of wind in the form of a cyclone shot out of Dragon's hand. The twister hit A dead on in the chest, sending him flying into the wall. His Lightning Armor dispersed soon after. Darui's eyes widened at this.

"No way," it was clear that the normally calm Shinobi was shocked, "I've never seen anyone break through the Boss' Armor."

A panted as he got to his feet. He touched the blood that was forming around his injury. "You," he panted, "you were holding back, weren't you?"

Dragon nodded. A grinned slightly. "I second Shanks' nomination. I haven't felt power like that in a long time."

Chitsujo, who had finally calmed down, sighed in relief. "Very well," he said, "all in favor?"

Amazingly, everyone's hands went up. Chitsujo turned to Dragon. "Congratulations, Commander." Said Chitsujo.

"I'm used to leading large groups," said Dragon, "I won't let you down, Chitsujo."

Chitsujo smiled. "Now that that's over with, I think we need to discuss the divisions and who's leading them."

"I've decided to use a similar system the Allied Shinobi Forces used in their war with the Akatsuki." Chitsujo continued, "we will have five fighting divisions, and four support divisions."

Tsunade nodded in agreement. "That system worked out when we used it, I can understand why you'd want to use it."

"And I take it that you want a regimental commander as leader of one of those divisions?" Gaara inquired.

Chitsujo nodded. "Two actually," he replied, "one for the fighting divisions and one for the support divisions."

"What types of divisions are we looking at?" Mei asked.

"In the fighting divisions, we have the First Division, which is basically the front lines division." Began Chitsujo. "It will be the close-range fighting division."

"The Second Division is the mid-range division," Chitsujo continued, "meanwhile the Third Division is the close-mid-range division; the Fourth Division is the long-range division; and finally the Fifth Division is the specialist division."

"Other than the First and the Second, the system is almost exactly the same." Gaara noted.

Chitsujo nodded. "I watched that war from my kingdom, I was impressed with the organization of it and I decided to use it in my own army."

"And what about the support divisions?" Makarov Dreyar asked.

"Well, we have the Stealth Division, which will act as our guerrilla warfare unit; our Medical Division, that one's pretty self-explanatory; our Intelligence Division, also self-explanatory; finally, the Defense Division, which will act as protectors for each respective world's HQ." Chitsujo explained.

Gaara looked at Tsunade. "Well than, I think I already have a regimental commander picked out for the support divisions."

Chitsujo looked at Tsunade and nodded. "Indeed, she is the only living person qualified to lead the Medical Division along with all four support divisions."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow at this. "Living?" She inquired, remembering how she saw Jiraiya and Sarutobi-Sensei.

Shunsui spoke up. "Soul Society once had a powerful healer named Retsu Unohana. She died in the last war we fought."

"Well, can't you resurrect her like you did with Jiraiya and Sarutobi-Sensei?" Tsunade asked.

Chitsujo shook his head. "The reason I did that was to win your trust Tsunade," he replied, "Necromancy taxes me greatly, unlike Konton. I'm afraid that I will only be using Jiraiya, Sarutobi, and all of the other dead as a last resort."

Tsunade sighed. "Very well, if that's the case than I shall accept your endorsement, Gaara."

"I second Tsunade." Said A.

Chitsujo looked at the leaders. "Somehow I doubt anyone will oppose this, consider yourself the Regimental Commander of the Support Divisions, Tsunade."

"Thank you, Lord Chitsujo." Tsunade bowed slightly.

"Since we're on such a role, I'd like to nominate Yoruichi Shihōin as leader of the Stealth Division." Shunsui spoke up again.

Everyone looked at Yoruichi, who grinned at them all. "I'm the former Commander of the Stealth Force and one of the best at it. I'm also the Flash Master of the Soul Society. Meaning that my Flash Step, a technique that allows us Soul Reapers to move at high speeds, is second to none."

"I'll give this woman the benefit of doubt." Said Reina.

Mei sighed at Yoruichi's credentials. There's no way Chōjūrō can match that. She thought. I'm sorry, Chōjūrō.

"Very well," said Chitsujo, "all in favor?"

Everyone raised their hands once more. Chitsujo smiled at this. "This may be easier than I expected to be. That's good. The sooner we get this done the sooner we can fight for our future."

Jura whispered into Ooba's ears. Ooba cleared her throat. "I would like to nominate Iron Rock Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints as leader of the Defense Division."

Everyone looked at the bald man. "My Earth Magic is both a powerful offense and a strong defense. Any headquarters we choose to use will be in good hands."

"I second the nomination," said Makarov, "Jura is extremely powerful. He is worthy of a title as prestigious as the Wizard Saints."

Everyone outside of the Wizard World had similar thoughts. It's a good thing he volunteered, was what they were basically thinking, I don't want to commit one of my heavy hitters to that division. He/She/They need/s to be on the front lines.

Chitsujo looked over the leaders once more. "Once again, there is no opposition." He said.

Chitsujo looked at Jura. "Well done, Captain Jura Neekis."

"Thank you, I am honored." Jura said respectfully.

Shanks made his move next. "I nominate Benn Beckman as the leader of the Intelligence Division."

Everyone looked at Beckman and simply could not see him in such a position. "As strong as I am, Beckman is the real reason behind my success as a pirate." Shanks admitted. "Numbers-wise the Red Haired Pirates are the weakest amongst the Four Emperors. We've lasted as long as we had because Beckman always comes up with a superior strategy."

Shunsui's eyes widened at Shanks endorsement. Coming up with tactics for a large army is one thing, Shunsui thought, but for a band of pirates and succeed all the time? I wonder how smart this guy really is.

"I second the nomination."

Tōshirō Hitsugaya could not stay quiet at this. "Are you sure, Head Captain?" He inquired. "Why not Kisuke Urahara, or Captain Kurotsuchi."

"Both are intelligent men," said Shunsui, "but Kisuke's too much of a loner and a wildcard, and Mayuri isn't a team player. No, I think Beckman's the better choice in this case."

"Very well than, all in favor?"

Yet again, everyone raised their hands. This may be easy now, Chitsujo thought, but I know for a fact that deciding on division commanders for the fighting divisions will be even more difficult. These people are all so strong. There's no doubt in my mind that there leaders will argue relentlessly for them.

"Now that that's over with, let us move on to the fighting divisions." Said Chitsujo. "First, we must decide who among you shall be Regimental Commander."

Chitsujo looked at the remaining Kage and Mifune. "Unfortunately, I can't have any of you as Regimental Commander in this case, we must have fair representation of all four worlds for the sake of peace. That also means that we can't have Shanks as Regimental Commander due to Dragon being Supreme Commander. Do you all understand?"

Gaara nodded, the others did the same. "That sounds fair enough." Gaara replied.

"All right than, who will be Regimental Commander?"

"I nominate Maki." Said Bob.

"I second the nomination." Said Goldmine.

Chitsujo looked at Makarov. "I accept the nomination." Said Makarov.

Dragon, looking at Makarov, knew that he was strong. He had already looked into his allies with the information he had received from Shanks. He knew, for that reason, that while Makarov was strong, there was someone else who he felt would make a better choice.

"I nominate Shunsui Kyōraku as Regimental Commander." Said Dragon.

Shanks quickly spoke next. "I second the nomination."

Shunsui was not surprised by many things, but this surprised him greatly. "Head Captain Kyōraku, do you accept the nomination?" Chitsujo asked.

Shunsui nodded. "Yes, I accept." He replied. "After all, I've gotten used to leading large groups of people."

"Well than," said Chitsujo, "all in favor of Makarov Dreyar?"

Bob, Goldmine, Ooba, Reina, Sting, and Tsunade raised their hands at this. "All in favor of Shunsui Kyōraku."

Everyone else raised their hands. Chitsujo did a quick count. "Head Captain Kyōraku wins by one vote."

Shunsui smiled at Makarov and tipped his hat. "I'm very sorry I took your position Master Makarov." He said genuinely.

Makarov shook his head. "Think nothing of it, Commander." He said, emphasizing commander.

"Now than, Commander Kyōraku," began Chitsujo, "which division will you be most suited leading."

Shunsui grinned. "Definitely the 1st Division, the close-range division. Most of my repertoire is at close range."

Ōnoki, Reina, Goldmine and Makarov immediately noted that this eliminated some of their picks. More specifically, Kitsuchi, Kagura, Bacchus, and Gildarts respectively.

Chitsujo nodded. "Very well, let us move on to the 2nd Division. Is there anyone who would like to put a name forward?"

A spoke up quickly. "I nominate Darui, my right-hand man." A said. "He single-handedly defeated one of the greatest threats to the war effort."

"I've read of Darui's prowess." Said Ōnoki. "I second the nomination."

Dragon decided to match his newfound rival with his own nomination. "I nominate my second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo."

Everyone looked at the young man curiously. Many of them had been wondering why Dragon had brought him to the meeting. To here that he was one step on the chain-of-command lower than someone as powerful as Dragon was surprising.

Shunsui smiled at this. "I second the nomination. Let the young man make a case for himself."

"While we're on the subject," Shunsui continued, "I nominate Captain Ōtoribashi."

"What about over-representing a world?" Tsunade pointed out.

Chitsujo shook his head. "There may be one extra added from the Soul Reaper World due to the fighting divisions having an odd number."

This silenced Tsunade. "I second the nomination." Mei Terumī said out of the blue. "No reason not to."

Everyone was on a role at this rate. "I nominate Marco the Phoenix." Said Shanks. "He is the current leader of a very powerful group of pirates known as the Whitebeard Pirates."

In spite of Shanks kind endorsement, Marco was hesitant to take the position. His only purpose in life now was protecting his comrades and the will of his dead comrade, Portgas D. Ace. Ace's will lived on in Straw Hat Luffy and that man, Sabo. If Marco was a division leader, he could not protect those two for Ace's sake.

"I'm afraid I cannot accept any sort of commission as a commander." Marco said bluntly.

Shanks was surprised by Marco's statement, but accepted his words. "However," Marco continued, "I will gladly fight with every single one of you with all of my strength. You can count on me."

Chitsujo waited for any more nominations. Seeing that there would be no more he spoke. "All in favor of Darui of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Ōnoki, Goldmine, and Sting raised their hands. A cursed silently, those would not be enough votes for sure.

"All in favor of Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi, Captain of Squad 3."

Bob and Mei raised their hands. Shunsui sighed. Should've figured, he thought, Rose was always going to be a long shot.

"All in favor of Sabo of the Revolutionary Army."

Amazingly, everyone else in the room raised their hands. Sabo was now the Commander of the 2nd Division.

Sabo grinned at this. "I know my age is a bit of a turn-off for some of you, but I'll prove you wrong in due time."

Tsunade smiled slightly at this. With that politeness and confidence mixed into one person, he's a mild-mannered Naruto. She thought.

"And now, the 3rd Division." Said Chitsujo.

Tsunade spoke quickly. "I nominate Kakashi Hatake. He is one of the best in the Leaf, is known far and wide as the Copy Ninja, and has led a division before."

Kakashi eye-smiled at this. "Well, well, looks like I'll be leading a short-mid-range division once again."

"I second the nomination." Gaara smiled slightly at Tsunade.

Not missing a beat, Makarov set forth his own nomination. "I nominate my grandson, Laxus Dreyar. He is on the level of the Ten Wizard Saints."

Jura whispered to Ooba once more. "I second the nomination." Ooba added, after a moment of confusion.

Shunsui smiled. As a gambling man, he loved a good challenge. "I nominate Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya. The boy is young, but he is a prodigy amongst his peers. He wields the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō in the Soul Society."

Deciding to give the young man the benefit of doubt like Shunsui had for Sabo, Dragon spoke up. "I second the nomination."

Sting spoke up next. "I nominate Rogue Cheney, the second half of the famed Twin Dragons of Sabertooth."

Unlike Tōshirō, however, nobody gave Rogue the benefit of the doubt. Not that Rogue minded. He knew that he was nowhere near some of these monsters. His fight with Gajeel Redfox had shown him that.

Chitsujo awaited more names put forward before speaking. "All in favor of Laxus Dreyar?"

Ooba, Bob, Sting, Reina, and Goldmine raised their hands at this. They had watched Laxus' fight with Jura Neekis in the Grand Magic Games. They had all been impressed by his victory.

"All in favor of Kakashi Hatake?"

Everyone else present, besides Dragon, raised their hands. Chitsujo looked at Tōshirō sympathetically. Kakashi and Laxus are incredibly strong, Chitsujo thought, sorry Captain Hitsugaya. I genuinely think you could give those two trouble.

"Well, we have a majority. Kakashi Hatake is Commander of the 3rd Division." Said Chitsujo.

"I'm really happy to see how fast things are moving," Chitsujo continued, "now onto the 4th Division."

Shunsui grinned at Chitsujo. "I nominate Byakuya Kuchiki," he said, "his long-ranged power is downright deadly."

Gaara looked over the ever-stoic Byakuya. He radiated power. There was no way Baki could match someone like that. He looked at Baki, silently apologizing to him. Baki nodded in understanding.

"I second the nomination." Gaara said suddenly.

Chitsujo looked over everyone else. "Are there any other nominations." He knew there would not be any, Byakuya was the only one qualified to lead the division besides Gaara, and they had already picked out a Regimental Commander.

"Congratulations, Captain Kuchiki, the decision was unanimous."

Byakuya nodded. "I thank you all." He said. "I will bring honor to the position for the sake of the war effort."

Chitsujo breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this process was almost over. "Well than, members of the Wizard World. Your world is the only world not being represented at the moment. Therefore, the leader of the 5th Division, the specialist division, will be a member of your world."

Makarov did not hesitate. "I nominate Erza Scarlet, the strongest female wizard in Fairy Tail. I also nominate Jellal Fernandes, former member of the Ten Wizard Saints and ally of Fairy Tail"

Bob owed it to Ichiya to at least nominate him. But it would be a wasted effort. Erza was stronger than him by leaps and bounds. Jellal was even stronger than that.

"I second both nominations." Bob said.

Chitsujo looked at Jellal and Erza. Both would make fine choices. Erza was at the level of the Ten Wizard Saints and Jellal used to be a Ten Wizard Saint before making some bad choices. However, he knew that Jellal genuinely meant to mend his ways, so he did not hold his actions against him. "All in favor of Erza Scarlet."

Sting, Reina, Bob, Goldmine, Shunsui, and Shanks all raised their hands in support of Erza. "All in favor of Jellal Fernandes."

Everyone else raised their hands. Truth be told, Chitsujo had thought that Jellal's blindness would stop people from supporting him. But he settled on the facts that even the strongest had inhibitors and that Ichigo Kurosaki's friend, Orihime Inoue, could always restore Jellal's eyes.

"Erza," Jellal said softly, "did you win?"

Erza shook her head. "No Jellal, you won, you're the Commander of the 5th Division."

Jellal smiled slightly. "You deserve it more than I do."

"Don't give me that," Erza smiled back, "I heard about you single-handedly taking down the Oración Seis. Even I couldn't pull that off."

"Jellal," Ooba said to Jellal, "perhaps you should see a friend of Ichigo Kurosaki's. The person who restored Lyon's arm."

"Yes," Jellal replied, "I suppose that in order to be an effective leader, I should have my eyesight back."

Chitsujo smiled. "Well done everyone, all that remains now is to organize the divisions. You can leave that all to me."

"Also," Chitsujo continued, "I believe congratulations are in order. Well done, Shunsui, Sabo, Kakashi, Byakuya, Jellal, Yoruichi, Tsunade, Beckman, and Jura. I'm sure you will do your respective divisions proud."

Everyone nodded. "Everyone should go and train." Chitsujo told them. "Prepare yourselves. In one week, we launch our first campaign."

Tsunade, curious about something else, spoke up. "That's all good, Lord Chitsujo, but something else has me curious."

Chitsujo raised an eyebrow. "What is that, Tsunade?"

"Why did you have me bring Naruto along?" Tsunade asked. "He's strong but military strategy isn't his forte."

"Same with Luffy," Shanks added, "and I can tell military strategy isn't the strong points of those boys Ichigo and Natsu."

Shunsui and Makarov nodded in agreement. "With that in mind, why are those boys here?" Tsunade asked.

Chitsujo smiled. "I had you bring them along for an entirely different reason. You see, as the Four Acts of Order that I myself created, I wanted them to meet and get to know each other."

"Four Acts of Order?" Shunsui repeated.

Chitsujo nodded. "Yes," he told them, "for this reason, I wanted them to meet. It is my hope that because they share a bond already, they'll become good friends."

An explosion in the distance, followed by several different bursts of power, immediately followed Chitsujo's statement. Shanks, Shunsui, Tsunade, and Makarov sweat-dropped at this. Even Chitsujo could not help but pale at what had happened.

Perhaps I spoke too soon? He thought.

In the large field outside of Chitsujo's Temple, four warriors duked it out. Ichigo Kurosaki took a swing at Naruto Uzumaki with Tensa Zangetsu.

"You take that back you whisker-faced bastard!" Ichigo shouted.

"Why because you know it's true, Strawberry?" Naruto shot back while preparing a Sage Jutsu.

"Getsuga Tenshō!"

"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"

The two powerful attacks collided, destroying the landscape around it within a thirty foot radius. Meanwhile, Luffy and Natsu duked it out on the side. "Will you chill out Pinky?" Luffy screamed at Natsu.

"Not until you stop downplaying the power of a dragon, Igneel could kick your ass for sure!" Natsu shouted back.

"Gum Gum…"

"Fire Dragon…"

"Rifle!"

"Iron Fist!"

Like with Ichigo and Naruto, Natsu and Luffy's attacks collided, kicking up dust in the process. On the side, Chitsujo, Shunsui, Shanks, Tsunade, and Makarov watched them. Tsunade was seriously contemplating murdering Naruto for his stupidity; Makarov was paling at the fact that a member of his guild was doing so much damage again; Shanks simply smiled at how strong his young friend had become; Shunsui laughed nervously at Ichigo's display of power; and Chitsujo simply smiled and shook his head.

Maybe I did speak too soon. He thought. But…sometimes the best way for people like them to get to know each other is the way they're acting right now.

Before Tsunade could storm up to the four and pound them into oblivion, Chitsujo stopped her. "Allow me to supervise them, Tsunade. You all should go back to your worlds. I'll send them all back to their respective worlds later."

Tsunade looked at Chitsujo, tempted to ask if he was sure of this. The look in his eyes told her that he was, so she relented.

The fight soon ended with all four heroes lying exhausted on the ruined field. Chitsujo sweat-dropped at the sight of his ruined yard. The groundskeepers are going to throw a fit. He thought sadly.

The four heroes laughed at the fight they just had. After that intense fight, like Chitsujo had predicted, they had gotten to know each other quite well. They now all respected each other and their strength.

"You know," Luffy began, "you guys are pretty strong, and pretty cool too. You should join my crew when this is all over. I'll be King of the Pirates for sure with you three with me."

"Sorry, Luffy," Natsu grinned, "but I think I'll stick with Fairy Tail."

"Yeah, and I'll be pretty busy when I become Hokage." Said Naruto.

Luffy looked at Ichigo. "What about you, Ichigo, want to join the Straw Hats?"

Ichigo smirked. "Sorry, Luffy, I've got a duty to my friends."

Naruto sat up upon hearing Ichigo's words. "You know something," he said, "we've got a lot more in common than we realize."

Everyone looked at Naruto. "That loyalty we have to our precious people is something we all share. It's pretty cool when you really think about it."

Naruto got to his feet and offered Ichigo a hand up. "Sorry for calling you Strawberry. I didn't even stop to listen to what your name really means." He said, grinning.

Ichigo grinned and took Naruto's hand. "It means number one guardian." He replied.

Luffy and Natsu got to their feet as well and shook hands. "You know something," Luffy said, "I'd like to meet your dragon-dad one day, he sounds pretty cool."

Natsu nodded. "Yeah, maybe I'll introduce you two when I find him again."

"Well, glad to see that you four are finally done."

The four heroes turned to the sound of the voice to see Chitsujo walking towards them. "Oh, you're Lord Chitsujo, right?" Naruto asked.

Chitsujo nodded. "Correct, Naruto." He replied.

He looked around. "I must say, you four did quite a number on my yard."

The four looked around. While Natsu and Luffy only laughed at the damage they had done, Ichigo and Naruto paled. "Sorry sir." Ichigo muttered.

Chitsujo surprised the four by laughing out loud. "It's no trouble at all. I'm actually quite impressed with your power. I have a feeling you four will play a major role in the war."

Chitsujo then showed the four heroes four blue outfits. "I had these designed differently, depending on the four of you. Blue is the color of my kingdom. We need to be able to distinguish ourselves from the enemy. I hope you wear these with pride."

The four heroes took the outfits. "I don't normally like blue, but this actually looks pretty awesome, Lord Chitsujo." Said Natsu.

"Yeah, thanks a lot King-Guy." Said Luffy.

Ichigo and Naruto nodded their appreciation. Chitsujo smiled one last time. "I hope that you boys make me proud." He said.

All four were slightly confused at what he meant as Chitsujo turned away. You boys are going to need all your strength in this war, Chitsujo thought grimly, especially for when Konton enters the battlefield.

But, Chitsujo thought hopefully, if anyone win it…it's you four. After all, you are my Acts of Order. The saviors of your worlds. And I know that you will be the saviors of every world by the time this is over.

A.N: Over 5000 words…this has actually been the longest chapter I've written for anything, and I'm glad it turned out the way it did.

Now, as for the explanations for each leader of the division.

Shunsui Kyōraku is a master swordsman who actually has regard for strategy. Also, when you compare him to everyone else, either him or Shanks would've been the Regimental Commander of the fighting divisions. I chose Shunsui because even though we haven't seen Shanks fight yet, I like to think that Shunsui would have the advantage in a fight between them. After all, this is the guy who took out the 1st Espada with just his Shikai.

*Spoiler Alert*

We've seen quite a bit of Sabo ever since he reappeared in Dressrosa. All we know is that he is really strong and that he is Dragon's Second in Command. The fact that the Revolutionary Army is strong enough to take on the World Government speaks volumes about how strong the Army actually is. I made Sabo the leader of the Second Division because he's only a step down from Dragon himself, and that eating the Flame-Flame Fruit makes him all the more dangerous. But I made him the leader of the Second Division because there's no way in hell being just one step below Monkey D. Dragon on the higher ups of the Revolutionary Army is something to laugh at.

*End Spoilers*

Now, as for Kakashi Hatake, come on it's Kakashi. We're talking about a prodigy among his peers who's mastered over a thousand Jutsus. Kakashi may be lazy and a bit of a hypocrite sometimes (this is especially true to those who like to bash him in their stories), but he's still one of the strongest characters in Naruto, just a step below Naruto, Sasuke, the Five Kage, and a few members of the Akatsuki (namely, Itachi and Nagato).

Byakuya Kuchiki was a no-brainer to lead the Fourth Division. This guy fought Ichigo to a standstill and killed two Espada (albeit, one was with Kenpachi's help). This is guy who's speed and offensive capabilities make him an extremely dangerous fighter.

Jellal Fernandes' Heavenly Body Magic is an extremely powerful magic, see the recent chapters where he took on the Oración Seis for reference. I knew I had to give Jellal some sort of part, I like Jellal and I want to give him a chance to prove himself.

Yoruichi Shihōin and Tsunade, I won't go into an explanation about them, they're pretty self-explainable for those who know Bleach and Naruto.

Benn Beckman was stated by Eiichiro Oda as the smartest man in the East Blue. Also, what I think speaks volumes about how smart this guy really is is the fact that the Red Haired Pirates are among the most powerful crews out there. In terms of numbers, the Red Haired Pirates are just another average crew. Then you look at the crews of the other Four Emperors and they have armadas. The fact that they are among the most powerful says to things: One, they are extremely powerful, and two, it takes a damn good strategist to help them stay at the top in spite of that disadvantage in numbers. That's where Beckman comes in.

Jura Neekis' Earth Magic is great for defense. That's why he's the leader of the Defense Division, that's it.

And with that, we are officially done with the prologue. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did, and stay on the lookout for the Fairy Tail Campaign. Bye for now, everybody.
