"Technique or Justu"
"Discussion demon or grim"
'Thoughts demon or grim'
The fourth great shinobi world was nearly over. The true villains were defeated or sealed away once again, yet the war torn battle field continued to shake and rumble from a still escalating fight. Following the sealing of the rabbit goddess and rescuing the biju from their forced union. One of the so called heroes of the war decided to take it upon himself to change the world during this pivotal time. While the others openly opposed his views on starting a revolution, but only one could stand against him. These two warriors fought on a level that only their ancestors before them have ever reached.
Landscapes again have been changed, new valleys are being carved, and rivers diverted or left forever dried up. Shockwaves that cleared the skies calmed until the taps of flesh on flesh was all that could be heard. Standing upon the valley floor amidst the crumbling statues stood two people.
One who in many ways represents the moon and the darkness of the world that he embraced fully. Due to his tragic past he allowed revenge and anger to drive him to where he stands now. In front of his so called best friend a hand glowing with visible energy taking the form of lightning. Sasuke Uchiha's hand just above his shoulder using his remaining chakra to slam a chidori into the last obstacle in order to change the world for the better.
On his hands and knees was the other hero of the war, drained from all the fighting he has been doing non-stop. His once bright blonde hair was now damp and spotted with drying along with new blood flowing over his matted locks of hair. His vibrant blue eyes almost swollen shut but the determination in them was still very visible. His orange jacket all but destroyed leaving him in his mesh undershirt. Orange pants that have lost their luster along with their usual length. Naruto Uzumaki was bruised, sore, exhausted, and overall in pain. However, his resolve remained unwavering.
His eyes reflected the crackling lightning in his friend's hand as it traveled towards his back. 'The teme is going for my other shoulder.' One of his eyes caught sight of the nine floating spheres in the sky. Forcing him to dig deeper, his eyes narrow ever so slightly.
With renewed vigor he managed to not only dodge the chakra enhance thrust but uppercut Sasuke into the cliff side where he remained stuck. Dropping back down to his knees the boy used the short reprieve to gather as much chakra as he had left for one final rasengan. The glowing blue wisps of energy began to condense into a round shaper before taking its final form. 'This is everything I have left, even with Kurama's help I use anymore chakra I will passout.' Blue eyes locked on one blood red and one a steely purple. They tracked down his opponent's arm until they reached the flame imbued chidori coating his entire hand. 'This is it…'
He stilled his resolve as he lowered himself preparing for a jump towards his rival. The world quietened for just a moment before an unknown signal force them into motion.
The two attacks clashed resulting in an explosion of blinding white light, that consume all within the "Valley of the End." Naruto's rasengan was deforming quickly, forcing his chakra above and beyond the point of no return subconsciously allowing wind chakra into the sphere changing the sky blue ball into an almost glowing white orb. Both attacks reached their limits and released all the pint up energy in one final explosions. There was nothing but white that could be seen following the explosions of the two powerful attacks.
A few miles away in the previous battle field most if not all the land for miles around had become a flat plain that was boarder by mountain ranges on most sides. Every now and then the barren waste land sported craters or perfectly shaped holes caused by ninjustu. These marks could be seen as common aftermath of any shinobi world war, but this was not any normal war.
Standing dead center of the field was the trunk of a massive tree, colossal roots grew in and out of the ground. Dangling from each root were multiple pods. At the base of the tree amidst the carnage and destruction was two people. One concussion while the other was seconds away from joining the conscious world once again. Mumbling could be heard coming from the unconscious female, her brows crease as she struggled to wake. "Sasuke… I did everything I could for you, I loved you." A single silver eye brow rose as he mulled over her last words.
He began to double check his body for wounds, knowing full well once his student awakened she would want to follow after her troublesome teammates. 'Well nothing seems to be broken.' He winced after touching one of his lower ribs. 'Spoke too soon.' Deciding he was just dealing with a mild case of chakra exhaustion.
Green eyes open slowly before closing harshly due to the light that invaded them. Opening her eyes once again having a much easier time. the waking female could feel her exhaustion from before slightly diminish from her forced rest. "I don't feel a whole in my chest that means, genjutsu." Her whispered voice could barely be heard.
The light was blocked by a head of gravity defying hair. "How you feeling Sakura?" his eye smile seemed forced.
"Where are they?" the question was followed by a sigh from her teacher.
His head moving from above her giving her room to move into a sitting position, "They left towards the Valley of the End." His eye glanced towards her before looking back in that direction, seeing what looked like the upper portion of a growing white sphere. Then it just vanished. "It looks like there battle has reached its climax. We should go no doubt our knuckle head has over done it and needs some medical attention." He got to his feet.
Sakura followed shortly after, giving a short curt nod. They quickly shot off in that direction both praying that their teammates were ok. Sakura surprisingly more worried about a certain blonde ninja.
In a dark wet slightly lit sewer, one Naruto Uzumaki laid before an open cage door. Even though the water within the sewer was knee deep Naruto remained on top of the water. His once beautifully tan skin seemed deathly pale the sun-kissed blonde hair lost its usually radiance. But what didn't change was the smile that refused to leave his face.
Before him was his partner since birth the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Otherwise known as Kurama, the enormous fox had a vibrant orange fur nine long tails that swung slowly back and forth. His forearms resembled more human arms than his animal counter-part. His slitted crimson eyes focused slowly on the prone form of his father's descendant. "You always do the stupidest things." His quick response was a weak laugh. Lowering his body around the boy his tails moved to encircle them. "You do realize that I can't heal you… Your chakra network is completely destroyed; my chakra is barely flowing into you." Spoke Kurama as he closed his eyes to rest.
Naruto looked towards the pipes above him seeing the usually blue one was cracked in multiple places and in some places the pipe itself was completely missing. The smile didn't waiver, "Yeah I know Kurama, but its ok we won. People were lost and villages demolished, but we finally won." His eyes closed forming an upside down "U" his smile just would not go away as they both could sense what was happening to them.
The blonde cough violently before looking over to his biju and partner. "A buddy… I am going to release you soon that way you can be whole once again." He coughed once again. "I am actually surprised you aren't complaining about it."
One crimson eye open slowly. "I have learned that arguing with you once you have made up your puny mind is pointless." Finishing his statement with a weak chuckle.
The room started to fade into darkness until only the light over them was left the rest of the room laid in darkness. Their voices become lower than a whisper as Naruto asked one final question before leaving his mindscape. "You felt them right buddy?" a feral grin with a mixture of pride and joy spread on the kitsune's fanged face.
"Yeah kit I did."
Naruto was done sleeping so he opened his ocean blue eyes staring up at the changing skies. In the corner of his eyes he could see what was left of the famous valley. He would have whistled if it didn't hurt so much to breathe. To his right a mop of black hair covering pale skin laid unmoving. 'Better wake up Sasuke, we still need to release the genjutsu… Now that I think about it, old man sage never told us how. Or did he?' taking on a thinking pose before mentally shrugging.
"Teme. Teme wake up… Damn it Sasuke-teme wake up." Naruto continued to weakly yell out at the unconscious boy laid beside him.
Onyx eyes fluttered opened as he woke up slowly seeing a sky fading into a brilliant orange. He was wondering what the noise he was constantly hearing was. The haze covering his brain blew away and his mind became sharp, he blinked rapidly when he understood what was being said. Groaning loudly Sasuke wanted to go back to sleep but decide that would just piss him off.
"I know your awake now teme. Now that you are awake guess what? You want to know something duck ass... I won!" silence followed before both boys chuckled. They began to talk about Sasuke ambitions and what he would do now that he in Naruto's words "finally got his ass handed to him."
"Sasuke let's release the infinite tsukiyomi, I am sure everyone is getting a little stuffy in those pods. And Kurama is ready to be released as well. don't worry he just wants to play with you for capturing him and his siblings." Spoke Naruto while snickering. "By the way do you have any idea how to do that by the way?"
Sasuke sighed as he realized that Naruto was still Naruto even after all these years. As his eyes turned towards his blonde haired rival he noticed something. An unusual smile marred his face, 'What is going on, his chakra signature is still weakening.' Deciding to ask the boy later he lifts his hand with the moon symbol up making a familiar half of a seal.
Naruto seeing this smiled softly before completing the other half that particular seal. Once the sun and the moon touched they could feel apportion of the sage of 6th path's chakra leaves their body. Allowing the marks to leave their bodies. Closing his eyes Naruto let out a quiet "Finally." Sasuke still looking at the boy that seemed more fatigued than moments prior.
Tired of not knowing the last remaining Uchiha decided to voice his concern in the form of a question. "Naruto?" the raven haired teen got no response just complete silence. "Naruto… What is happening to you?" there was a serious undertone that wasn't present in his previous question.
Before he could open his eyes or speak to thumps could be heard just infront of them. "Hey Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei guess who won this time." Naruto gave the two new arrivals a weak grin.
Tears began to pool at the edge of the pinkette's eyes, but they remained hardened. Both her injured teammates inwardly praised her on her ability to remain focused in this situation. Green glow surrounded both of their hands as she placed them over the stumps of each boys' arm.
Her tears continued to fall from her beautiful forest green eyes. She had managed to stop the bleeding in both boys' limbs following that she moved both arms over her blonde teammate's chest. The once dim green glow seemed to intensify along with her tears.
Within her mind she was screaming and cursing while trying to remain calm seeing what her options currently were. Naruto continued to grin weakly, Sakura forced her mind to focus solely on healing. But every few seconds she would stare at the paling whiskered face. Closing her eyes knowing full well that she could heal with her eyes closed. Her world continued to fall apart knowing what exactly was happening to him.
Then it stopped with a single touch. Lukewarm digits slightly damp from the valley floor touched her cheek. Her eyes snapped open looking into bright blue ones. "It's alright Sakura-chan… I know what is happening, I just ask that you keep me alive until they all arrive." Sakura wanted to dispute his request but decided not to after seeing the resolve that would never waver in his life.
Taking her hand from over his body she wiped the tears from her face before speaking. "Ok you big baka… Ok." She gathered the strength to smile.
Beneath the tree that once held the power of all the biju along with holding the world prisoner. Pods holding everyone but four people hostage begun to unravel as soon as the last Uchiha and blonde Uzumaki used their remaining sage powers to release the worldwide jutsu. Many of the more aged warriors begun to scan for potential treats or injured allies.
The two remaining sannin yards apart were two such people. Beside them were those who were capture near them, a few steps behind Tsunade Senju was Shizune, the remaining members of the konoha eleven, and the other Kage. While surrounding the snake sannin Orochimaru were Karin, Suigestu, and Jugo.
As soon as the only red-head in the bunch was release she was bombarded by the chakra signatures of the remaining soildiers. Her ability to "see" peoples chakra allowed her to quickly take stock of what was happening who was there and who was not. Scanning the field, she frowns. 'He isn't here… Now that I think about both of them are missing.' Out of the corner of her eyes she could see what could easily be mistaken as a setting sun. 'So bright and warm… It is weakening.' Her head snapped in the direction, "No no no no. I just met you, I can't be the only Uzumaki again." Leaving without another word only the pleading of her thoughts, 'Please don't go!'
Her form shooting off into the distance. Two people that heard her had some very strong reactions. Tsunade Senju looked from the young women then to her previous teammate's back with a glare, demanding answers.
Her heels could be heard clacking against the stone as she approached the pale man's back her shinobi following shortly behind. "Who was that girl Orochimaru, and what did she mean her being the only Uzumaki?" her tone that of a Kage she is.
In an almost apathetic tone he spoke. "That is Karin Uzumaki… I found her while I was in Kusa before the chunin exams. That second question unfortunately I am in the dark as much as you are. However, by looking around and knowing that Little Karin can see people's chakra in a sense. If she focuses from a great distance away that even, I praise highly." He paused giving his words time to sink in. "Now seeing as Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun are missing I can only conclude either he is in a dire situation or both of them are."
Enough had be said the only female sannin leaped off after her distant relative hoping she could do something to save her grandson in everything but blood. What the blonde and the red headed individuals couldn't see due to their single minded determination, was the Hyuga heiress following not too far behind with only one thing on her mind.
'Naruto-kun.' Following her was all those who were close to said blonde Uzumaki. Even the Kage who had limited relations with boy moved towards his location.
Sakura still had tears in her eyes even though she didn't really know why. Personally she had come to terms with what was going to happened but kneeling over her friend, teammate, the man who worked his way into a huge piece of her heart. 'Why did it happened to him? He fought so hard for everyone then to die like this. If only I could have stopped them.' Her eyes glanced over to the prone form of the last Uchiha. 'He is out of harm's way yet Naruto is dying…'
Naruto opened his eyes once again he got an eye full of pink. He wanted to speak but felt a coughing fit coming, he allowed it to come full force. He had Sakura throwing a fit about it too. He then turned his head to the cliff where Hashirama Senju use to be and spoke. "Karin-chan is coming, Baa-chan is right behind her."
Everyone turned towards the cliff face just in time to see a bright head of red hair shoot from the forrest. She makes her way down the crumbling cliff face as fast as her weakened state would allow. Dropping to her knees beside the only person who accepted her without some secret motivates, her hands quickly move to lift up her sleeve. She was stopped when he spoke softly to her.
"Hey Karin-chan. Glad you could make it." His voice was as soft as it ever had been, and that told her as much as she needed to know.
"S-s-shut up you baka… Now bit down." she responded with a stutter and a fake angry tone behind her voice, as she forced her pale arm to his face. Surprising he refused her, "Come on bite down damnit!" her emotions getting the better of her.
"Shhhh… Its ok Karin my coils are done your chakra won't flow through me." He managed to lift his hand to grab hers and squeezed.
This was when Sakura decide to voice her questions that had been running through her head. "Naruto? When did you two get so close?" even in his current condition he knew the dangerous glint in her eye.
The two people in question laughed very weakly before he spoke again. "Well that's a long story Sakura-chan, and quite frankly I don't have the time. It would be easier to understand if you knew her full name." flicking his eyes towards the red head of the group giving her a sign to continue.
Fixing her glasses, she turned towards the pinkette wearily. "My name is Uzumaki Karin." The reaction was instant eyes widen, even Sasuke showed signs of shock.
Naruto chuckled and was about to speak when Tsunade showed up. "Hey Tsunade baa-chan… I am so glad you are ok." She walked slowly taking the spot Sakura moved over to give her master a spot at his side. Once settled down her hands hovered over him and glowed a soft green. "before you decide to pummel me into the ground I have a favor to ask of you. When this is all said and done I want you to help take care of my family. Both here," Looking to Karin who blushed and even with the lack of light managed to find some to make a glare appear on her glasses. "And the ones that aren't here yet." He smiled wistfully.
His words confused them greatly but she spoke quickly. "You don't have to ask brat. Consider it done." She stops her diagnosis forcing a sad smile upon her face. Leaning down she kissed his bare forehead like she has done so many other times.
"Thank you Ka-chan." He took in a couple long heavy breathes as tears began to fall from his eyes. "Tsunade ka-chan can you leave us alone for a minute?" with a curt nod she stood taking all those currently around him away. Behind her stood a few people. Shizune the fellow Kages stood as stoic as their battle worn condition, but the person taking steps towards him slowly was one Hinata Hyuga.
"Hinata-chan…" Naruto bright blue eyes soften severely. "I am so sorry Hinata-chan, I am so so sorry." He was silenced when she landed on the ground knees on either side of his damp wet hair. Her tender hands lifted the shinobi head placing it on her knees.
Smiling down she shut him up by kissing him on the lips, it was gentle and slow full of the passion that they shared with each other just one time before the war had started. Barely pulling away she spoke. "Its ok Naruto-kun you saved so many people, so many people owe you their lives. And for that I am so proud of you. So don't apologize." Her words soothed his weakening heart giving him the courage to tell her.
"Hinata-chan, that isn't what I was apologizing for… I sorry I won't be there to help you raise them." Her eyes showed confusion for only the briefest of seconds. Following that her face light up with what he could only imagine was a motherly glow.
"You mean… That I am?" he closed his eyes and shook his head yes. The smile she had could not be matched by anyone. Tears of happiness began to fall onto his whiskered cheeks.
He let her cry for a while before he spoke once again. "I asked Kurama to watch over them, so more than likely he will stay by your side when I am gone." He touched her cheek before speaking one last time. "I love you Hinata Uzumaki… Hehe I like the sound of that. Raise them well my hime."
With the words spoken Naruto moved his hand to his exposed abs turning it clockwise the seal opened fully, and Naruto Uzumaki was dead.
Off the shores of the land under Mistral protection there was a relatively big land mass separated by the vast oceans. Those who have live there or know of said island know it by one name, Eden. Vast forest occupies a majority of the island following the highs and lows of the valleys only opening up for the more populated areas, the few plains and the snow caped mountains. The people of the island learned to survive without constant support from their kingdoms army or relaying to heavily on trades. This was only possible due to abundance of wild life that could be hunted for food, fertile soil that is in abundance on Eden, and the river leading to the center of the island where a variable sea lies in wait. Eden holds one major city with villages of varying sizes supporting both the city and each other with supplies.
The main city of Eden named after the island took much of its appearance from other cities that make up Remnant. However, the difference is also very apparent while most cities remove almost all signs that nature once laid claim to the land Eden embraces it. Trees grew from the abundance of parks and atriums within buildings. Most if not all building that could allow it held green roofs, the city streets were paved while trees and roots follow them taking the place of metal light poles. All in all, the city's metal and concrete flowed perfectly into Nature's own bark and leaves.
This pleased the people of Eden greatly because the majority of its people feel completely at peace when immersed in nature. It would seem odd for humans, that is why the majority of the people who live on Eden are Faunus. People with animal like characteristics such as tails, eyes, ears, or even fur in certain places.
Close to the center of Eden city is their main medical center with some of the best doctors the world has ever seen. The west side of the building is where we find two people surrounded by doctors.
Standing to the side of the bed was an average sized man with shoulder length semi spikey black hair. Sticking up from the top of his head was two tall rabbit ears that match the hair they come from. He had a runner's body his legs being well toned visible beneath his tight sweat pants. While his upper body just showed that the man worked out regularly keep his stomach flat. His eyes were a vibrant blue that held much compassion and worry towards the person he was comforting.
Laying in the bed was a beautiful young woman currently with her eyes shut tight, sweat slowly matting her long blonde hair to her forehead and back. In simple terms she could be described as a goddess. A slightly elongated heart-shaped face, supple lips that tempted you with each word that rolls off them. Long legs connect to a full yet toned butt with hips that match proportionally. What use to be a flat tanned stomach is now round with what can only be a pregnancy, perky C-cup breast rest on her baby bump. Unlike her husband who has ears on top of his head, she has a blonde white tipped fox tailed currently laying to the side twitching in slight discomfort.
These two people are Tai Uzumaki and his wife Kagura Uzumaki. And she is about to bring their first child into the world.
Tai continued to soothed his wife with calming words, "Come on Kagura breathe in and out. In and out." His words were accompanied by him doing what he is saying. Which was brought to a quick stop when she began to crush his hand.
Finally opening her green slightly slitted eyes before narrowing them at him. "Shut Up Tai! I have been breathing this whole time, if I wasn't I would be dead. So just shut your mouth hold my hand and let me focus, Ok?" her grip threating to crush his hand.
The doctor kept his laughs and giggles to herself as she gave all her attention to deliver the baby. "Come on Mrs. Uzumaki, just a little more and you will be all done." She repositions her hands making sure to have a gentle yet secure on the baby that was visible. "On the three… One, two, three!" giving one last push Kagura Uzumaki brought her baby boy into the world.
The doctor along with the nurses worked quickly cleaning the baby and doing the usual checkups and diagnosis. Shortly after the baby was brought back in the room allowing the new parents to see their new born.
After having the baby placed in her arms she brought her hand up to move away the blue baby blanket. The first thing they saw was two long rabbit ears tipped with black hair that became blonde before disappearing into his tuff of blonde hair. Round cheeks with three faint whisker like marks that adorn his flawless skin. "He is beautiful." Her melodic voice overflowing with happiness was contagious seeing as her tail began to sway back and forth.
"Yes he is honey." Softly rubbing his son's blonde head smiling victoriously. "Looks like a won, he has my ears." His smug grin had him receive an elbow to the gut.
"Not true dear," She unwrapped the rest of the blanket after feeling something move she knew awfully well. Laying against the baby's chest was a tail that matched his ears. "He has something from both of us," Kagura wrapped her own tail around them increase the warmth the baby received.
An older nursed knocked quietly before entering the room. She made her way towards the family with a knowing smile on her aged face. "Excuse me mister and misses Uzumaki. I hate to interrupt but I need to know what you intend to name the baby?" looking up she saw the puzzled face of the father before her gaze shifted to the new mother.
A small genuine smile appeared on her tired face. "Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki."
AN: I am so glad I got this done it has been on my mind for the past couple months. After reading a good number of Naruto x RWBY crossovers I decide to try and write my own. Hope you enjoy, read and review. You will be able to see related images on my bio page.
