Hello there everybody, this is 1Ring2ruleThemAll with the newly released Naruto: The Kaiju Renaissance Redux! Man, talk about a wait, I had to figure out a way to work on this while working and going to college, including a side project. The main wait was mainly due to a way of trying to create a universe in which a bunch of kaiju cinematic universes could fit together, and that is now for the most part completely made out fully. YAY! For all my readers that are familiar with me I still have all the OCs that won the contest, they're still in so no worries there.

For the most part I just want to say that I'm excited that I get to do this again after such a long time! It did take a while, so I wish to apologize for such a long wait, but it allowed for me to make the product that your about to read. (AN: I WILL NOT ACCEPT FLAMES! ONLY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! IF YOUR TO LAZY TO EXPLAIN IN DETAIL AS TO WHY IT IS THE STORY IS NOT APPEALING TO YOU IN A LITERARY CRITIC'S CONTEXT THEN YOU AREN'T WORTH MY TIME!)

Now as for this new version of my story, I should inform everyone that this story will differ quite differently than from the original story, which in some instances is better. The story will be more focused in different areas such as character development including story arcs and themes that will be introduced as the story progresses. It will have a darker and more mature undertone than the previous work, hopefully, and many of the characters from Naruto will still act the same way, but in some instances, will react differently than from the main source due to the experiences that they will face as it progresses.

Aside from this story I am planning to be working on another project at the same time, although not alone. During the break, I got in contact with two other writers, UltimatumJerkasaurus500, the creator of a Bleach/Godzilla crossover that was removed do to somebody interfering with it for no reason, and Ares from FALLEnOlyMpiaN92, the creator of "Vessel of The Golden Dragon" a former Naruto/Godzilla crossover, but now a Naruto/X-overs crossover. All three of us have been in talks of a collaboration of sorts and we might be working together! I will not be posting it on my profile, unless it becomes necessary…

Back to this story, I wish to inform everyone the lore is different as to allow for more kaiju to brought in from other universes as I said, and not just other universes like Gamera or Pacific Rim, but also other continuities of Godzilla...the lore might be different for each one, but that comes with the new territory.

So, with all of this out of the way time for my favorite part of this whole Author Note, the disclaimer! (AN: As usual I'll have another section at the end of the chapter, so see you guys then!)

Disclaimer: The following is a non-profit fanfiction! Naruto is owned by his respected owners at Jump, Vizmedia, and Massashi Kishimoto, the creator; Godzilla is owned by Toho Co. Ltd. Please support the official release!

-Third Great Shinobi War-

Outside of Land of Hot Water

Two blurs dashed across the trees as shadows danced in the moon's ethereal glow. Clashing back and forth with sparks igniting the darkened space as the sounds of metal striking out at each other reverberates across the expanse. Another shadow joins the fray and the sounds intensify before ultimately the three separate and take positions at an equal distance away from each other.

Each of the three dare not take their eyes off the other two, each on baring a different insignia, revealing their allegiance. All three of them dare not make any sudden moves before the others, knowing that rash thinking would not lead to survival.

"It's been awhile since the three of us last clashed, wouldn't you say?" One stated to the other two while flashing a smirk. Standing at a decent height of 5'9 and having lavender colored hair and eyes to match, the individual was keen on getting a response from the other two.

"Humph, to be honest I'd prefer if it was just me and him, you were an uninvited guest in this fight Daichi." Another answered. This one was rather tall, being around 6'3 and had golden blond hair and red eyes that gave off a substantial amount of malice. "You and your master have been nuisance ever since you awoke centuries ago."

"You didn't think that we'd just let you go off and take this planet after all that hard work we went through prior to the collapse? Did you?" Daichi mocked him, easily knowing how to play off his opponent. "You've failed multiple times already, and now you're in your seventh host, rather bleak if I do say so myself, especially since you failed to find a suitable vessel the first go around."

"The number of hosts is insufficient when compared to the power at my disposal, or should I demonstrate it on you just like our first encounter boy!" The golden blonde warned. "Or have you forgotten just how much more powerful I am than you?!"

"You do have me there, but unlike you I don't need to rely on power as much, especially when I can simply utilize my techniques, which in my case give me everything I'll ever need." Daichi replied. "But then again what's to expect from an old kaiju like you, when you rely too much on brute force that has failed you every single time. I'm beginning to question who even gave you a title such as "King" in the first place."

A burst of concentrated electricity was fired forth at Daichi, whom was calm and collected. He raised his hand as a lavender toned cloak of energy surrounded him and a wall of crystal shot forth from the ground shielding him from the attack.

"Best watch what you say around him kid, he doesn't take to kindly to failure, and your pestering him about his past attempts will only lead to him leveling this entire area and then some." The final individual stated. The last individual was a rather stoic individual when compared to the other two. He had white colored hair and orange colored eyes that were seemingly calm, but could clearly show a massive buildup of power behind them.

"You stay out of this Nobu! This kid has already interfered with our fight and that is something foolish in its own right!" The golden-haired man exclaimed as a golden colored cloak of energy fully surrounded his body.

"As true as that is, I still can't have you go all ballistic considering that this area is still filled with shinobi, so by all means I'm fully obligated to get involved." The man known as Nobu stated as he activated his own cloak of blue hued energy around his body as to drive his point across.

"Your rather calm wouldn't you say great "King of the Monsters", especially since your little buddy has already been dealt with." Daichi expressed causing Nobu to raise a noticeable brow of confusion.

"What are you talking about Daichi." Nobu demanded with great restraint as he demanded to know what it was that the man in front of him was referring to.

"Heh, perhaps this will suffice." Daichi chuckled as he tossed over a bloody item towards Nobu, who caught the object in hand to investigate it.

Upon recognition with the object Nobu's blood began to boil. In his hand was a necklace made from fishing wire with the kanji for fish (魚) carved out of wood and painted grey hanging off it. Nobu clutched the item in his hand as the cloak around him began to boil with energy at the surge of negative emotion he was experiencing.

"How dare you…" Nobu began as his teeth sharpened and his fingers and toes grew claws and talons. The energy cloak around him formed a tail at the base of his back and spine-like protrusions formed going down to the tip of the tail. "You will pay for what you've done!"

Daichi snickered as his cloak slowly began to morph as well, with a tail forming at the base of his back and crystalline formations beginning to take shape in the cloak. The golden-haired individual's cloak also began to morph with two tails forming at the base end and two large energy wings forming from his shoulder blades.

"Now the fun is really beginning to start." Daichi mentioned to no one in particular as the group ready once more for a clash, and this time it seemed that even the trees and ground bellow trembled at what was about to happen.

"DAICHI!" Nobu yelled as he rushed forward initiating the clash, followed by the golden-haired man and Daichi, all of whom collided and the battle began once more…

Naruto:

The Kaiju Renaissance Redux

Chapter 1: Awakening

The heavy buildup of mist in the air made it hard for any single individual to see anything more than a few feet in front of them, but in the case of those trapped with a dome of ice mirrors, it was rather difficult to keep up with evading the ice projectiles being thrown at them. It was imperative that they could identify the location of their opponent, whom had trapped them inside of the dome and was attempting to kill them at this moment.

Naruto and Sasuke continued to dodge as best as they could, while at the same time trying to keep up with the masked assassin companion of Zabuza's that was meant to keep them busy, while he fought with Kakashi out in the mist.

The two ducked and evaded when they could, often getting nicked or cut by the flying ice-infused senbon that were tossed at them. Sasuke utilizing his newly awakened Sharingan continued to track the individual as they traveled inside of their mirrors, leaping into one and then another while leaving images in each one as to throw them off.

Sasuke was patient however, he waited for the right moment to present itself before he would engage in an offensive tactic. His main problem now was the fact that he wasn't alone anymore, Naruto had snuck in after revealing himself upon his arrival, and since then has been a hindrance on Sasuke, who has had to shove him out of the way far too many times already.

Naruto, for his part, was trying to stay alive and help Sasuke. Though he wasn't being of any good use, he did attempt to attack the mirrors with shadow clones earlier, but the result wasn't anything worth noting as he had to quickly dodge the attempt on his life following it.

Both him and Sasuke were still struggling to land a hit on the guy, but Sasuke had that covered. "Naruto, I need you to send forth some shadow clones again." Sasuke exclaimed as to get his teammate's attention.

Naruto, upon hearing the request was quick to retort. "They can't help, they'll just get wiped out before they even reach the mirrors!"

In direct response Sasuke sent a glare towards Naruto that was a sharp as daggers. "Just do it!" Sasuke ordered. With a sigh of reluctance Naruto flew through the necessary hand signs before exclaiming his jutsu and seven other Naruto's materialized.

The newly created clones rushed forwards at a different mirror in hopes of at least damaging one. Haku, whom was steadily observing noticed this and took caution as he knew that Sasuke was up to something. 'I'll have to be cautious, he can see my movements more clearly now that he has the Sharingan.' He reflected as he launched senbon from multiple mirrors, dispelling the clones before they could even step within a foot from the mirrors.

"Naruto, do it again!" Sasuke exclaimed to which Naruto retorted once more before doing it again, and just like before failing. "One more time!" Naruto was at this point failing to grasp why it was that Sasuke was making him do this when none of his clones have even been close enough to touch a mirror, let alone a full foot length.

"Why the hell am I doing this anyway? We're not making any progress whatsoever!" Naruto retorted once more as his frustration was increasing each time Sasuke demanded him to make clones, and when said clones continue to fail.

"I can almost predict his movements, that's why you need to do it one more time!" Sasuke explained causing Naruto to realize the whole point in his yelling.

"Well why didn't you say that sooner! Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as twelve Narutos appeared this time, all of whom dashed towards a mirror instantly. The sudden increase in the number of clones threw Haku off as he quickly had to rebound in order for him to be even able to take all twelve down without Sasuke seeing him.

With little time to spare Haku dashed within his mirrors sending forth a wave of senbon towards the unsuspecting clones. Each one dispelled, falling to the torrent of senbon from all sides. Naruto and Sasuke had watched the whole thing, and Naruto was glad that he didn't try jumping in with his clones on a whim.

Sasuke, however, had finally gotten what he was waiting for, flying through the necessary hand signs Sasuke locked onto Haku and took in a deep breath. "Fire Style Fireball Jutsu!" He announced as the raging sphere of fire erupted from his mouth, dashing towards Haku, who in great surprise had to shunshin over to another mirror just to dodge the attack. "You're not getting away that easily! Fire Ball Jutsu!"

With that another fireball was launched over towards Haku's position, but this time he was unprepared as his mirror was met with the explosive kinetic energy that was behind Sasuke's technique, erupting it in a blaze. The genin watched the mirror seemingly melt away and couldn't help but smirk at their achievement. "Yeah you did it Sasuke!" Naruto cheered.

Sasuke was also cheerful, he had just taken down the Ronin assassin that was easily a rank-A bounty, something that was a considerable feat for someone his age, or rather it would be if it wasn't for somebody like his brother Itachi, who had done the same, but at a younger age.

'Just you wait Itachi, this is just the first step, the next one will be me finally finding you and settling this matter.' Sasuke thought to himself before a sudden jolt of pain forced him fall on his knees.

Naruto was quick to notice, but soon found himself doing the same thing as both realized that they had senbon penetrating the backs of their legs. "Not bad for genin, I will commemorate your effort, however, you cannot defeat me that easily." Haku stated as he manifested in the mirror before them. "You've already lost, there is no need to continue on any further, so just accept your fate."

Both were preparing to make a move but Haku anticipated their movements and flashed away in the mirror before launching a few more senbon at them, hitting them in areas that either numbed or paralyzed their limbs. With a grunt, both fell further onto the ground as they tried to remove the senbon from their bodies.

Neither of them had any more energy to continue, that was a fact that Haku was quick to deduce. They had reached their limit, and were now going to die for his and Zabuza's mission to be completed. Just as he was going to finish them off he hesitated slightly, as his moral code clashed with his master's ideology.

'I didn't think that I could simply destroy the kindness in my heart like I first thought,' Haku grimaced. 'perhaps I should just leave them in a death-like state for at least long enough until this mission is over.' Trying to decide on a course of action Haku was oblivious to Sasuke, who was attempting to complete the necessary hand signs needed to launch his jutsu.

Upon landing on the final sign Sasuke inhaled just enough air and unleashed a smaller but condensed Fireball jutsu. It raced forward nearly catching Haku off-guard, whom just merely changed mirrors and watched as the fireball dispersed once it connected with his Ice mirror.

Looking back over at Sasuke, Haku knew that was a last-ditch effort on his part and pulled out three more senbon before tossing them over at Sasuke. Noticing the projectiles, Sasuke quickly attempted to block with a kunai in hand, however, due to the severe numbness that had over taken his primary arm he was only able to deflect one, while the other two pierced into his shoulder and thigh causing him considerable pain.

Seeing Sasuke was starting to lose momentum Naruto attempted to push himself up and try one last attempt. Watching this happen, Haku readied his hand as he pulled out a few more Senbon. Aiming for areas of least harm Haku readied his arms and with a quick motion he launched them from his hands towards Naruto.

Unforeseen to him though a sudden breeze from the sea swept across the bridge moving away some of the mist and in the process altered the course of the senbon launched at Naruto. Both Haku and Sasuke slowly watched in horror as the Senbon were now directed towards necessary vital areas in and around the neck, chest and stomach.

Naruto still fumbling as he tried to get onto his feet was unaware of the danger that was making its way over to him. Instead he continued to press himself up onto his feet. Sasuke having seen the path the senbon would take with his Sharingan quickly and instinctually made his way over towards Naruto. With just enough time to push him out of the way. With that Sasuke had managed to reach Naruto and instead take the blunt of the attack himself.

Shock radiated off Naruto's face as he looked on in horror at what had just transgressed before him. Haku for his part remained silent, as he had seen where the senbon had struck Sasuke and was paralyzed by the realization of what he had just became responsible for.

Crawling over towards his friend, Naruto attempted to check his friend who was laying on the ground not moving in the slightest. "Sasuke, get up we have to keep fighting!" Naruto murmured to his friend as he attempted pull Sasuke up onto his feet in assistance, but what he found was Sasuke's body was limp in his arms. Turning him around Naruto became silent and pale as Sasuke had a senbon in his jugular, two in his chest, and a fourth in his stomach.

Once turned over Sasuke's eyes opened slowly revealing a slight glaze that had just began to set itself in his eyes as he struggled to breath. "What are you doing dobe?" He chocked as he struggled with his speech. "You have to watch your back, you're not out of this dome yet!" Sasuke could feel it, but he never would have guessed that one of the senbon in his chest had pierced a lung and that aside from the one in his jugular that he was bleeding internally, drowning from his own blood.

"Sasuke, why?" Naruto pleaded as he watched his friend's life begin to slip away right in his own arms. "Why did you save me? Why did you risk yourself for me?!"

"I don't know why, my body just reacted" He coughed as the pain of breathing was starting to become too much for him to bare. Having an urge to swallow Sasuke instantly regretted as the senbon logged in his throat began to shift around causing him to gag and cough up blood.

Naruto flinched in response and was preparing to pull the senbon out of Sasuke's jugular. "Hang on Sasuke, I'll pull that thing out really quick!" Naruto explained as his hand dashed towards the senbon before being stopped by Sasuke's own hand.

"Naruto, you idiot, didn't you pay attention in class?" Sasuke began while still hoarse. "Leave it or I'll die faster." Naruto, for his part broke upon registering what Sasuke had just said, he was indeed dying and he knew it.

"Sasuke, your just feeling numb is all, the same as me. Remember that guy hit us to stop our movements." Naruto attempted to comfort his friend. "Your just feeling lightheaded at worst."

"Naruto," Sasuke stuttered out. "I won't be able to find my brother and ask him why he did it…I need you to find him for me." At that moment that any hope that Naruto was clinging to surrounding his friend crumbled as he noticed that Sasuke's breathes became far shallower after each word.

"What are you talking about? You're going to find him like you always wanted to and then you're going to ask him yourself remember!" Naruto cried. "You're not giving up on that, are you?!" Sasuke weakly smiled at his friend.

"No, I'm not giving up, however, I'm not going to be able to see it through to the end is all." Sasuke admitted. "I guess I shouldn't have jumped the gun in thinking that I could take this guy on in the first place."

"Sasuke…" Naruto whispered silently as he watched Sasuke's eyes begins to fully glaze over.

"I really enjoyed our friendship Naruto, and sorry for leaving you with Konohamaru's training." Sasuke apologized. "Remember to teach him correctly and nothing stupid like that perverted jutsu of yours…"

"You know that I couldn't help it if he learned that, he looks up to me too much remember," Naruto began. "and besides if it's just me I won't be able to make him a badass like you." At this point tears were streaming out of Naruto's eyes as he stopped trying to hold them back.

"You criticize yourself too much, don't let anyone from that village tell you any different, because…" Sasuke slowly began to recede away. "because to me you will become the strongest Hokage of all time." Naruto was choking on the words he so desperately wanted to say, but found that he just couldn't speak.

Sasuke saw this and smiled weakly at his friend one last time before his eyes slowly began to close his eyes and his hoarse voice sounded one last time. "Thanks for being my brother, Naruto." With that Sasuke was gone and Naruto held his friend, no, brother for the last time as he wept.

Haku, for his part during all of this remained silent during the whole exchange, grief-ridden up until the very end. Watching Sasuke's last moments of life in suffering Haku had to clutch his chest at the pain of guilt building up in him. 'I never meant to kill either of them, only subdue them long enough until we finished our mission.' Haku reflected. 'Now, now I have taken one of their lives and leaving another broken.' Haku trembled at the scene before him as he watched Naruto break more and more over the death of his friend, forgetting every lesson he learned about keeping his back towards his enemy.

Instead of taking this time to end this event, Haku did nothing. He remained silent as his sin laid before him. His awareness dropping as he discarded the senbon in his hands and remained prone to one mirror. Allowing Naruto time to grieve for his friend.

Elsewhere, deep within the recesses of Naruto's mind a pair of red eyes opened to view a scene that laid before them. The Kyuubi, one of the nine biju, whose name was all but forgotten, looked onward at the scene upon sensing the negative emotional buildup within Naruto, only to see him crying over the body of his dead friend. "How pathetic," he began. "Crying over someone who let themselves get killed, what a waste.

Noticing the inner realm in which he was locked in began to bubble into a negative pit of emotion and turmoil, to which the Kyuubi could only smirk at the chance that was now presenting itself to him. "However, this would be an ample time to subject the boy with my power and begin to degrade the seal that has been placed upon him." The Kyuubi smirked.

The Kyuubi began to rise as he began to gather his power and send it forth to reach the boy illuminating the realm in a malicious red glow that bubbled and steamed. Chuckling to himself the Kyuubi was going to fuel that anger and drive the boy to become what he always was, his vessel.

Before his chakra could reach the boy however, a great tremor resounded across the expanse as the waters within the mind began to stir. "Has the boy finally learned how to enter this space, or is it due to some outside interference?" The Kyuubi questioned before he slowly began to reach a different conclusion. "No, this is something else!"

Suddenly, and without warning, the entirety of the mindscape screamed to life as everything seemed to shake due to some unforeseen power. The Kyuubi looked on desperately as to find the source, but only found darkness. Said darkness however, began to stir and change as though something was about to materialize into the realm.

A sound began to resonate within the chamber, like that of large footsteps as they seemingly grew closer and closer to the cage. The water that encompassed everything in front of the cage began to give way as large spikes began to pierce upwards into the dark void. Higher and higher they grew before a large mass and two additional rows of spikes accompanied them.

With a loud thud a large clawed hand emerged from the darkness before resting itself upon the floor in front of the cage. A bluish hue flickered to life on the outline of large dorsal fins in a repeated manner as the figure continued to rise, towering over the Kyuubi with ease.

Something akin to a primitive growl was released by the entity sending a chill down the Kyuubi's spine due in part to the sinister and malicious intent that easily dwarfed any that he had previously. Before long it became quite apparent to him that he was trembling, something that he hadn't done before in a long time, as a much larger pair of eyes stared down directly at him. Shrinking down as much as possible the Kyuubi stared up in terror as a loud bellow came forth before it evolved rapidly into a monstrous roar that violently shook the mindscape and threatened to push him back further into his cage.

The entity before him wasn't a mere spirit of kinds, nor was it anything that he had ever seen before. It was a monster, a creature spoken of by men of the long and distant past, a beast thought to have disappeared, a kaiju, the sin of the world.

Unbeknown to anyone outside something was slowly beginning to happen with Naruto. Haku didn't even notice it due to his guard being down, but his senses screamed at him with such sudden ferocity that it scared him, as he looked onwards and noticed a sinister blue arura begin to surround Naruto. A cold foreboding feeling began to set itself within the dome as Naruto began to change.

Though his head was down Haku could hear that his crying had stopped and he could feel a massive amount of hatred stream off him. Slowly the blue hued energy began to cause a considerable change to Naruto's appearance including healing his wounds. All the senbons that were resting in Naruto's body were violently pushed out before dissolving upon contact with the aura.

The first noticeable change to happen was that Naruto's blond hair changed from a sunny and warm blonde to that of a cold and dead white color. His hands began to change as well, his fingers grew claws and his toes talons. From what Haku could tell Naruto was gripping his mouth as his teeth sharpened themselves. 'Something is not right with this boy!' Haku thought as he continued observing the change from his mirror. 'This power is too much, and this hatred, it's destructive.'

Placing Sasuke down on the ground Naruto bent forward as the aura changed into a cloak of blue energy that evolved. A tail began to form at the base of his back and dorsal fin like constructs began to materialize in three rows going down the cloak's back to the base of the tail. The energy from the cloak caused the pavement on the bridge to crack and give way as the pressure from it intensified.

Turning to finally look at Haku, Naruto nearly killed Haku with his glare alone as his once bright blue eyes were a blazing orange that showed destruction, death, and above all malice that was inconceivable. Haku was greatly taken back as he stared death in the face. Taking out a couple senbon for defense Haku was quickly surprised when he looked back up and saw Naruto's fist about to hit him in his mirror.

Quickly using shunshin, Haku watched as Naruto's fist collided with the mirror, and from the contact a massive explosion of kinetic energy created a shockwave that sent chunks from the bridge flying forward in the air and clearing the mist in the area. The sheer strength that was on display was monstrous, it was like that of Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin, except that this was coming from a genin, whom from the way he acted before was straight out of the academy.

Thinking quickly Haku sent his senbon flying towards Naruto, anticipating him to react to them, however, Naruto didn't pay them any mind as they were vaporized upon contact with the cloak. Attempting to try at another angle Haku swapped mirrors and tried again, expect one of two outcomes happened that startled him. The first regardless of the angle the same results were met, and the second was that Naruto was following his every move regardless of the increase in his speed while he remained in his prone position.

This startling discovery concerned Haku as he had no idea as to what he should expect from Naruto now. The only thing he could seem to rely on was his senses and they were screaming in every way possible it seemed to make him run away.

Watching Haku, Naruto finally decided to make a move again as his cloak began to glow brightly. A surge of energy could be seen regulating itself in and around it. Large amounts of energy was beginning to shake the bridge and shatter Haku's mirrors, and some cases melt the ground in and around the dome. The ice that was impervious to Sasuke's fire style jutsu began to melt away at the heat and Haku soon found himself falling out of his mirror. Once he began to fall Naruto unleashed all his built-up power in what seemed like a massive "discharge" that sent dust, debris, and anything else flying in all directions. The mist was quickly and easily overpowered by this gale-force wind, and even Kakashi, Zabuza and the others were nearly blown away by the force behind the wind.

They were unaware of what had just happened but soon they realized that this new power was dreadful as the debris cloud from what seemed like the epicenter resembled that like a mushroom. Though it wasn't large it was still clearly visible, as was the area. Any nearby trees were either uprooted or pushed back, and the bridge had a crater in it coming from where the other fight was happening.

Kakashi quickly scanned the area for Sakura and Tazuna in hopes of insuring they weren't blown away. "Sakura! Tazuna! Are both of you alright?!" Kakashi called out. Thankfully he heard Sakura's reply.

"Yeah, we're all right we're just stuck underneath some debris, thankfully a large pipe shielded us from anything else." Sakura responded easing Kakashi's nerves.

"Well at least knowing they're alright has calmed me down a bit," Kakashi muttered to himself before redirecting his attention back over to the source of the blast. "but that's where Naruto and Sasuke were fighting at." The power that was emanating from that direction was dangerous and heavy. It reminded him of the Kyuubi at first, however, from what he remembered the Kyuubi's chakra was nowhere near this heavy. 'If it isn't the Kyuubi, then what the hell is emanating such a destructive power?!'

Zabuza also felt the power, except unlike Kakashi he trembled at its feeling. 'This power, it can only mean one thing!' Zabuza thought as his mind raced through past experiences and memories. 'This could get really bad in a matter of moments, I need to find Haku and get out of here, this mission isn't worth dying.'

Looking over at Kakashi, Zabuza took his sword and placed on his should. "Well Hatake, it looks as though you lucked out here." Zabuza stated as he grabbed the attention of the infamous "Sharingan Kakashi". "Considering what is about to happen I've decided to forfeit this mission in favor of living, so as part of this mission was forcing me to fight you I'd say that makes this fight void."

Kakashi didn't trust Zabuza though, he knew that the former swordsman of the mist wasn't somebody to trust, especially considering he left his own village after a failed coup d'état. "What kind of game are you playing Zabuza, how do I know that you're not going to cut us down after letting go as you please?" Kakashi demanded to which Zabuza looked back over to the epicenter of the crater.

"One of your students is an Uzumaki if I'm correct." Zabuza mentioned causing Kakashi to raise a noticeable brow of confusion.

"Yes, but I don't see how that has anything to do with what's going on." Kakashi remarked as he watched Zabuza silently curse his own luck before shaking his head.

"It does have everything to do with it," Zabuza started as he looked over, as did Kakashi, as they both saw a silhouette slipped away from the airborne dust and flames assorted all over as a cloaked Naruto materialized into view, still standing in the same place as before. "After nearly thirteen years the "King of the Monsters" has awoken once more."

Looking outward at the hellish landscape presented to them, one thing was evident as Naruto turned to face the two of them, and that was the unending destruction that was about transpire. With a surge of power Naruto unleashed monstrous roar that could be heard from the heavens proclaiming the kings return to the world once more.

Alrighty then, that is it for the first chapter of N:TKR Redux, and might I add that the Shin Gojira Ost was really awesome to listen to when I typed this up. I had Godzilla vs Destroyah on with headphones playing the music and it just setup the tone almost perfectly. For those wondering about that little prologue, just keep it in mind, it'll come in later, of course previous readers will notice somethings instantly from it, and for the most part everything is the same except some lore changes that I previously mentioned.

I still have the original fic up for those wanting to read it and chart the progression of this story including the differences this once will take when compared to the other one. I'm looking forward to this again although I still haven't decided on the order of kaiju introductions past a certain point, but since the first part will not have that many in the first part no worries there. I will state that in this new version nothing is exactly like it was in the previous one, the shadows hold many secrets and that will become pretty evident in this shinobi world.

Also a quick note, the romance option is still open for debate, in all that time I was working on world building and character spreadsheets I forgot to decide on a romance, go figure right. Lol.

With that I will say that the next chapter will be out before the end of this month definitely, hopefully next week if not the week after definitely. I'll give you guys a brief preview of it real quick for fun. :D

/Preview/

Chapter 2: Facing Reality

- Naruto has gone berserk over the death of his best friend, and his power is more frightening than that of the Kyuubi's?! Kakashi and Zabuza have a fight on their hands while Naruto awakens in an unknown place. Who or what is the thing that even makes the Kyuubi tremble? Next time on N:TKR Redux!

You know I can see how antsy some people get when making a preview for a next anime episode or something. I feel excited mainly because I just want to write the chapter! Perhaps I mentioned to much, or perhaps not, those that read the previous story have an idea what's about to happen but for those new to it the next part will hopefully feel satisfying.

Alright that's enough from me for one chapter, I'm glad to be typing again and can't wait to work on that new collabe with Ares and Jerkasuarus. Till next time this is 1Ring2ruleThemAll, catch you guys later!
