A/N- Sorry guys about the inconsistency of the chapters. I'm being lazy and I haven't got the motivation after searching Betas. So, the fifth chapter won't be coming for another few months. If you guys know any Beta who can help me with this, it would be most appreciated. I know my grammar is off, but I can't help it. That's why I'm searching for Beta. Hope soon, I get the one who will be willing to give me a helping hand. I don't know how much I can go on like this.
The lack of reviews has proven that even though I can describe fight scenes very well, my grammar is off the chart and people are having a hard time reading it. I know it very well. I myself have experienced it with some of the fics here.
Someone told me that in this chap my paragraphs are too long, so I shortened it to likable sizes so that it looks more appealing in viewer's p.o.v. I have also corrected some misunderstandings in the chapter four. So, I want you guys to read that chapter again.
If I ever forgot to describe any scene regarding that I have mentioned that before, please remind me that. I don't wanna leave any plothole for the storyline. It would be much appreciated. Even if the story is mine, I can still forget some things that I have planned many months ago.
Constructive criticism is allowed but flamers don't dare to flame my story.
Pairings will be Naru/OC and others….I don't want to spoil anything….
Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto other than OCs.
CHAPTER ONE OR PROLOGUE
The Fourth Shinobi War
"Tap, tap, tap….swift, dodge…Boom…." in the midst of never-ending darkness of a huge rainforest, a person was running, jumping and dodging from various attacks form his enemy. He kept jumping, flipping, back flipping, somersaulting and dodging various projectiles thrown to him and he kept doing this in seconds. He once disappears and reappeared somewhere else to confuse the enemy but the enemy was not also a pushover. He found him quickly and again started attacking with powerful jutsus which was destroying the entire forest. "Roar…" a very big fireball came out of nowhere and burned half of the wood but the two nins were so fast that they disappeared from that area before even the fireball formed.
BOOOOOM…..!
Suddenly, there was an enormous explosion occurred near the first person who was jumping through trees. He vanished through the smoke and just in the split second, the attacker appeared in the cite of the explosion.
His right eye blazed illuminating his face mask and in his eye, three comma like pattern could be seen and also his left eye glowing dangerously. His right eye was spinning wildly as if some kind of pinwheel which looked almost demonic and it could be thought that the person was a terrifying man.
The dark haired man wore a black cloth with white belt like cloth in his waist and Uchiha clan symbol on his back and black gloves on both hands. His hairs were short and wore a mask with Rinnegan pattern and holes, like three Sharingan tomoes and a middle hole and he was carrying a fan attached to a long staff. His only visible body part was his both eyes that could be seen through the two small lower holes in his mask, one eye Sharingan and one eye Rinnegan. He was radiating a very dark aura of blood and death, from the looks of it, it could be said that he was a very experienced killer and capable ninja.
The masked man examined the smoke like a hawk looking for its prey, he suddenly stiffened and just in a split second he bent backwards in amazing flexibility and a gust of wind passed over his head. His bloody red sharingan eye spinned wildly and in slow motion he saw that the gust of wind was none other than his enemy's right leg. He instantly realized his mistake that he was open for an attack from upwards because he saw that the person who sent the kick was a clone. He looked upwards and saw a nice spinning kick was coming and he was not fast enough to dodge that. So he quickly used his body phasable technique and the kick passed through him without hurting. But as soon as he thought that he was out of range of the kick, an invisible force hit him with amazing force and he flew back several meters breaking a lot of trees and rocks.
The attacker disappeared from his position with a yellow flash but before throwing some kunais with explosive tags attached to it and he placed his hands on the ground and on the ground some strange seal markings formed. The masked man got up from the ground and saw the approaching danger, but as the kunais exploded he disappeared from there like a swirl using his 'Jiku-kan Ninjutsu (Space-Time Technique)'. But the seals on the ground started spreading like spider webs and ultimately covered the whole forest with it. Then the seals disappeared from view. The masked man appeared on the outskirt of the forest and looked towards it.
All of a sudden, the ground beneath him started shaking like an earthquake and at the very instant a tremendous sound could be heard…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM…!
The man saw that the whole forest exploded with a tremendous flame creating huge shockwaves which flew past away from the forest uprooting the whole ground and cutting through the small hills. The flaming trees and bushes flew away 100 of meter from the ground and also a huge amount of dirt flew away from the ground creating a huge mushroom cloud smoke leaving a large crater of the size of the whole forest. The masked man had flown away from his place by the power of the explosion. The masked man greeted his teeth and stood up facing his enemy who just appeared behind him.
His enemy was just an 18 years old kid who was wearing standard Konoha uniform with a red haori with black flames in it. The kid had sun-kissed blonde hair of the same length as the Konoha's Yondaime Hokage and in his cheeks three whisker like birth marks could be seen. His eyes were yellow colored with orange covering on the outer layer of the eyes and he had a white flaming aura radiating from him and his neck showed six comma like ornaments like Tendo (God Realm) Pain or Rikudou Sennin (Sage of the Six Paths) had on their necks. His hitai-ate (Forehead Protector) was wrapped around his forehead and it showed the symbol of "Shinobi" in it indicating that it was indeed the hitai-ate for the allied shinobi forces.
The teenager was none other than the one and only Uzumaki Naruto, Hero of Konoha, Son of Konoha no Kiiroi Senko (Konoha's Yellow Flash) Namikaze Minato whose name everyone knew as the Konoha's Yondaime Hokage (Fourth Hokage) and Akai Chishio no Habanero (The Bloody Habanero) Uzumaki Kushina, third jinchuuriki (Human Sacrifice) of the Kyuubi no Yoko (Nine Tail Demon Fox), a Sage, apprentice of Jiraiya of the Toad Sannin and next in line of the Rokudaime Hokage (Sixth Hokage).
The masked man was also none other than Uchiha Madara, founder of Uchiha clan, first known to unlock the Mangekyou Sharingan in history, first ever to gain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, rival of first Hokage Senju Hashirama, creator of Akatsuki, Yondaime Mizukage (Though Yagura was the Mizukage, but Madara was behind him controlling the jinchuuriki of the Sanbi (Three Tails), so like Kisame said he was the real Mizukage), partner of Itachi in killing the Uchiha clan, planer of the 'Moons Eye Plan' and manipulator of everything going in Naruverse.
Madara's sharingan spinned wildly and he growled in a very dangerous voice, "Brat, why don't we finish our cat and mouse game and start our match seriously. This is getting annoying!"
Naruto rolled his fingers in cyclic way creating more brightness in his chakra cloak and said calmly, "You are right Madara. I'm going to kick your ass right here right now. Believe it."
Flashback no Jutsu-
It was the era of the Fourth Shinobi War, the era so terrifying that it almost annihilated the ninja population from the world. Everywhere only blood spilled, tears of women and children, cries of pain and only destruction everywhere. Rubbles of buildings, graveyard of shinobi villages, dead bodies of every living thing were seen during that era.
Thousands upon thousands of people died in the war and it is fact that in every shinobi wars there at least some smaller shinobi villages got destroyed. The shinobis tried to protect their loved ones and also their village and also some high ranking shinobis had to leave their dearest ones to go the frontlines where battles were being fought. They had to lose their lives along the way and along the protection of their families and village. But everything ended up failures as the village that they had given their lives for was not also not among the standings as it was also got destroyed by the enemy in the war. The death of the ninjas meant nothing in the war.
This horrible and dangerous era had started when the conflict between the famous professional mercenary group called Akatsuki and the five great shinobi nations was going on in its peak and their true leader Uchiha Madara decided to declare war against the nations. The madman was apparently trying to capture every Bijuu across the world to create 'PEACE' as he said it but that none other than delusions to fool the people by giving false hope to achieve his true goal which was none other than to become a god among man so that he could control everything by means of his group.
The immortal Uchiha had succeeded in acquiring seven of the nine Bijuu but had gotten stuck in between the last two remaining Bijuu who's Jinchuurikis had gotten so much powerful that the members of Akatsuki were not able to capture them and he had no choice but to act upon it. And above all, his most valuable trump card the false leader of Akatsuki, Pain had betrayed him and lost to the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox Uzumaki Naruto. Meanwhile when Sasuke captured the false host of Hachibi, the Raikage acted quickly and called a Kage summit.
So when the Kage meeting was held on the Tetsu no Kuni (Iron Country), he had no choice but to appear in front of the five mighty Kages and had to tell his plan about what was he going to do with the Bijuus to them.
He demanded that they should hand over the Kyuubi and Hachibi to him, but the Kages refused to comply with his demands, he had no choice but to declare war on the nations. He was very confident about himself that he would be able to control the Bijuus that were extracted from their respective Jinchuurikis to aid him in the upcoming war and he also had the ultimate trump card of the last survivor the cursed clan Uchiha clan, the one and only Uchiha Sasuke against Konoha. The young Uchiha had demanded that he should be given the eye pair of his late brother Uchiha Itachi whom he killed to gain more power (A/N- Sasuke is just a power hungry arrogant bastard) and to acquire what Madara had acquired over a hundred years ago, the ultimate Sharingan 'the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan'.
Meanwhile the mighty shinobi villages were in great panic and turmoil whether it was a good idea to fight in the war or not. They had seen the horrors of previous wars and it has been just 16 years gap from the previous war and already started another. They couldn't afford to lose more manpower as they were building to stabilization from the previous war. At that stage Konoha suffered the most damage as it was already half destroyed by mighty Pain and had to recover from the initial assault 3 years ago as the village was invaded by sound and suna force led by one of the Sannin Orochimaru. Konoha had already low count of ninjas and also low on budget as they could not be able to provide rations and supplies to the fighting ninjas without it.
But nonetheless, the five nations created an alliance among themselves and also from the permission from their respective Daimyos. They started increasing their border patrols and the villages were put on marshal laws and top A-rank security barriers were being put around the boundaries. The villages started saving their supplies and the daimyos increased their budget and also started saving rations. The people of villages were told not to go out of the village after 6 pm evenings and in every nook and corners ANBU black ops were placed.
Every Jounins were told to increase their rating of training the Genins as they need more ninjas to cover up the dead. Many Chuunins who were compatible with par with a Jounin were promoted instantly to Jounin without the exams. They started making strategies to how to fight the enemies.
The Kages again met in a meeting to discuss about the war and the leader of Tetsu no Kuni Mifune promised to provide Samurais to the nations for the protection of civilians and also the skilled ones to battle fields as the Samurais also were able to use chakra. The Kages decided that it would be beneficial to hide the last two remaining Jinchuurikis in a secluded island where Madara would not be able to find them.
But the cunning man Madara planned ahead and was successfully able to place a spy among the Jinchuurikis. The spy was none other than Kirigakure's monster, one of the members of Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichininshou (Seven Shinobi Swordsmen of Mist), Hoshigaki Kisame and he was able to disguise himself inside his sword 'the Samehada' which was being carried by Hachibi Jinchuuriki Killer Bee on his back which was because they had a fight and everyone thought Kisame died due to the combined attack of the Raikage and Killer Bee.
But that was just a clone of Zetsu. Though at last Kisame died self sacrificing himself so that the info he had gathered about the latest news of the Jinchuurikis would get away safely to Madara.
Meanwhile Orochimaru's right hand man Yakushi Kabuto joined hands with Madara providing his skills with forbidden techniques just as his long dead master Orochimaru did in the past. He resurrected the dead Akatsuki members, some previous kages, previous jinchuurikis and a group of skilled shinobis who were once legends in their time with the help of the kinjustu Kuchiyose Edo Tensei (Summoning Impure World Resurrection) which was stolen by Orochimaru from the Hokage's vault.
Kabuto had mastered that kinjutsu better than the previous users who were his late master Orochimaru and Konoha's Nidaime Hokage Senju Tobirama. Though his motives were something different (A/N- I won't say what his motives were), he still joined in the ninja war.
After Madara gave Itachi's eyes to Sasuke he went to Amegakure to recover his prized gift to Nagato 'the Rinnegan' from Konan who had betrayed him after the death of Nagato. But Konan was stronger than he thought. He told her that he was the one who gave Nagato the Rinnegan and he had come to gain what his to begin with. But Konan refused and attacked referring him as the 'Darkness' itself and that she believed in Uzumaki Naruto explicitly to bring peace to the ninja world.
Konan placed exploding tags in her paper techniques and she uncovered one of Madara's trademark jutsu to phase through anything that he can only do that for five minutes and after that he should be vulnerable to attack and she took that advantage and placed exploding tags destroying his right arm and upper half of the mask.
She covered the whole sea with her paper bombs and directed towards Madara hoping to catch him off guard and creating huge explosions that should have killed him. Konan thought that she had killed him but her thought completely shattered when Madara appeared behind her and stab her through heart saying that if he didn't have used the jutsu 'Izanagi', he would have died.
He said that Izanagi is a jutsu which was originally created by Rikudou Sennin himself to turn illusion into reality and reality into illusion thus creating the nine Bijuus from the chakra of the Juubi (Ten tailed beast). Konan tried to use a jutsu creating a rainbow saying that even she withers away she will stop him but Madara didn't gave her that chance by grabbing her throat and then he trapped her in his illusion so that he could gain the information from her.
At last he gained the information and found Nagato's body lying with Yahiko's body in a sheet of paper roses created by Konan. He looked at Nagato's body and said that his Uzumaki trademark red hair turned snow white after overexerting too much and even in death he smiled mockingly to him about his betrayal.
He also referred him as the third of the six paths as he had two paths within himself as Madara himself and as Senju Hashirama. At last he transferred Nagato's body to his secret lab where his collection of eyes were and took Nagato's eyes and transplanted a Rinnegan to his left eye as his left eye became useless by using 'Izanagi'.
Madara's look changed and his new look consisted of a black cloak with a Uchiha symbol on the back and a cloth wrapped on the waist like a belt , black gloves, his old war fan, a mask with three Sharingan like holes and Rinnegan patterns.
He insisted on capturing the remaining Jinchuurikis but Kabuto volunteered to the do the deed. Madara complied with it and showed Kabuto his Zetsu clone army in possession with numbering of 1, 00,000 and a clone of mindless Senju Hashirama which Madara was able to create from the DNA of first Hokage.
With revived Deidara, Kabuto went to the turtle island to capture the Hachibi and Kyuubi but intercepted by the Tsuchikage and his bodyguard and his granddaughter and also by Aoba, Yamato and Motoi. Though they were able to prevent them from capturing either Naruto or Killer Bee, Kabuto still was able to capture Yamato and as he previously said Yamato was a valuable asset to their forces because he could now give Zetsu clones Hashirama's power.
The five Shinobi nations formed an alliance by the agreement of the Daimyos, the Kages and Mifune, the leader of Iron Country. They made their basement in the Kaminari no Kuni (Lightning Country) and made troops of every division. The total no. of Allied Shinobi forces were 80,000 but were not enough to challenge Madara's forces.
Kazekage Sabaku no Gaara took the mental of commander general of allied forces and also the captain of Division 4. There were total of 5 divisions made and each division a captain was assigned and other troops like ambush squad, medical squad and sensor squad were assigned.
Naruto and Bee stayed inside the turtle island as Naruto was still not aware of the war rising. He trained with Bee to master his newfound power from the Kyuubi. Naruto was able to defeat the monster with the help of his mother Uzumaki Kushina in his mindscape and separate all the powers of Kyuubi into a different dimension in his mindscape (A/N- Details of the fight and the training is shown in the Manga).
Naruto learned from his mother what happened 16 years ago on the night of Kyuubi's attack. Killer Bee wanted to teach Naruto the Bijuudama (Tailed Beast Bomb), but since Naruto couldn't be in good terms with the Kyuubi and hence couldn't attain the complete Bijuu form and so he was unable to master the Bijuudama. But Naruto found a solution for that as his Rasengan was exactly the same as Bijudama, he trained to master the Rasengan with the chakras of the Kyuubi with 8:2 ratio of light and darkness chakra and mastered by the time the war gained a violent turn.
Meanwhile the war was in its peak as Kakashi's squad and ambush squad encountered the revived ninjas like Zabuza, Haku and some bloodline holder ninjas. As Kabuto transferred some of Orochimaru's chakras from Mitarashi Anko as he had defeated her and strengthened the binding power of Edo Tensei (Impure World Resurrection) made the ninjas mindless killing machines except for the previous Akatsuki members and some ninjas. As a result the shinobis from the allied forces started losing.
At the island as Naruto completely mastered his new technique. The technique looked like six combo Rasengans formed from tailed beast chakras levitating in air suspended by Kyuubi's chakra emerged from his body. The power of the technique was devastating as each Rasengan could destroy a complete island. When he tested the technique he was blown back from the power of the technique and it destroyed a complete valley of Land of Lightning.
After the completion of his technique he again started training to step up his timing to stay in Sage Mode. When he was training he sensed the energies of many ninjas disappearing and also found disturbances in the countries. He and Killer Bee went out from the island and went to the meeting of the Kages.
Inside the Tower-
The Kages were arguing among themselves specially the Raikage. He slammed his fist on the table breaking it half and shouted-
"You idiots! How are you going to solve this problem? Huh! You can't expect me to sit here and doing nothing." He took a deep breath and proceeded to show his anger but someone cut him off
"Yo Bro!" the Raikage face palmed and groaned and said "Not now Bee! Oh wait, what the hell are you doing here? Didn't I tell you remain in the turtle island?"
Everyone looked at the door and observed that there standing Killer Bee and Naruto. Tsunade seeing Naruto there asked first thing came to her mind
"What are you doing here Naruto? Didn't I give you an S-rank mission to the island?"
Naruto frowned and answered in a serious manner, "So that you can hide me from the masked bastard, is it not?" Tsunade and everyone's eyes widened.
Naruto again said, "I'm really disappointed in you guys. So can I ask you when are you going to tell me that a war is going on huh? After everybody died?" he said in forceful manner. The Raikage being the hothead he was quickly shouted,
"Are you out of your mind? This war is certainly to luring out the two of you. Do you not understand?"
Naruto also yelled, "I perfectly understand that."
"Then why are you demanding answers from us?" the old Tsuchikage asked.
"Because I found out in my Sage Mode that your so called allied forces are dying left and right and right now Kakashi-sensei's team is fighting some revived ninjas. I didn't know that there are ninjutsus there that can revive people." Naruto answered frowning.
Everyone's eyes widened at that and the Raikage shouted, "What? There's no way you can sense that kind of things from so far away. Even best sensors are unable to locate the positions of the enemy."
"Then your sensors are useless", Naruto shouted and looked at Tsunade and said,
"Ba-chan, I and Bee will fight in the war. It can't go on like this."
Tsunade and other's jaw fell and every Kage's shouted, "No you can't! There's no way we can let you two to fight in the war. If the two of you get captured, the world will be destroyed. We must hide you safely somewhere."
"What? Are you serious? I can't let others sacrifice for me. What kind of Hokage will I be if I can't even protect them?" Naruto yelled in anger.
The Raikage shouted, "Do you know who you are talking to? I'm the Raikage. I can destroy everybody and specially that Uchiha Sasuke. I will end that bastard."
"No, he will be fighting me because I promised to fight him" Naruto yelled.
"Your promise isn't more important than this war boy." The Tsuchikage said frowning.
"What? How dare you?" Naruto charged at him but blocked by Tsunade.
"Naruto! Calm down. They have a point. If Madara captures the two of you then the world is over", Tsunade said.
"Ba-chan, you of people should understand that I can't let you and others die for me." Naruto said. Tsunade sighed and said,
"I know Naruto, but my hands are tight. I can't send you in the front lines."
Naruto looked at her eyes and saw desperation and agony. He perfectly understood that in her mind, there was a conflict going on whether it was a good decision or not to not send him in the war. But her duty towards the people of her village stopped her making such decisions. He sighed and muttered softly
"I understand. You gotta do what you gotta do. But I am going no matter what."
"Yo, the dude is saying good, and I wanna back my muscles good oya" Killer Bee said rapping agreeing that Naruto should acquire experience of a war and could think what to do in such situations.
But the Raikage and the Tsuchikage shook their heads indicating it negative. Disappointed Naruto exploded in rage. A shockwave flew everywhere sending the Kages and Killer Bee flying backwards and his chakra cloak emerged out. Glowing bright he yelled in rage,
"Fine, if you don't want me fight for you, then fine. But I warn you that you will regret this very painful way. As I'm saying you will lose this war without me. The Ero-Sennin said that someday the day will come when people truly understand each other and peace will come and I'll be the one who will bring peace to the world. I'm the Child of Prophecy, the savior of this world. And as a ninja you should have looked underneath the underneath"
With that said he exploded sending shockwave everywhere and disappeared in a yellow flash to an unknown location never to be seen for some time. Everyone's eyes widened in shock including Killer Bee.
"What? Where the hell did he go? He just disappeared." The Raikage shouted in shock.
"That was a yellow flash." The Tsuchikage shouted.
Tsunade's eyes were wide as dinner plates. 'Oh my God, where the hell did he learned that jutsu?' she thought. They stood up sat down on their seats and started discussing about what happened just now. But Tsunade was silent and took out a book from her sleeve and looked at the picture of the Hokages and Jiraiya and whispered, "Did we do the right thing? Ne Grandfather, Granduncle, Sarutobi-sensei, Minato, Jiraiya? I have a feeling that someday it will bite us in a most horrible way." She sighed and looked through the window towards the horizon of the sea with a faraway look.
One and half Years Later-
One and half years had passed, but still there was no sign of Naruto anywhere. Nobody knew where he went and nobody could find him even they were assigned to locate him and bring him back in fearing that the Akatsuki had captured him. But to their relief Madara was not also able to locate him either even with his Space-Time techniques. Even Kabuto who had found many ninjas grave was unable to find whereabouts of Naruto.
Tsunade tried to communicate with the toads of Myobokuzan, but the toads were unable to say where Naruto was. Even they tried to reverse summon him but that didn't work. So they stopped trying to find him as there were bigger problems at hand such as fighting in the world's greatest ninja war. The war took a very violent turn as some smaller villages were already destroyed by Madara's forces and half of the allied shinobis also had already died but they took out some of the revived ninjas by sacrificing themselves.
The ninjas of the allied forces were alerted that only sealing would work to the Edo zombies and the sealing teams were formed to seal away the revived ninjas completely. But it cost them too much. Their fighting power was losing greatly. The revived Zetsu clones though weak but still they were able to utilize Hashirama's power killing many Chuunin and Gennins. The problem was the revived ninjas as even though they were sealed away but before sealing they took out majority of the armies.
Since Naruto couldn't be found Madara decided to take the war slowly and waited for Naruto to appear. He waited for one year patiently but after one year his patience ran out. He got very angry and started sending majority of his forces into the battlefield to lure out Naruto but that too failed. So he lost some of his forces as his total no of Zetsu clones remained only 50,000. At last he couldn't wait more and decided to take part in the war himself and took all of his forces with Kabuto into the front line. The Kages also got Intel on that and marched on to the war.
Forest of Mizu no Kuni-
The two battle forces stood front to front. Madara stood in the front of his force and asked in very patient manner to the Kages as the Kages were in the front of their battalion,
"Where is Uzumaki Naruto? Where is the Kyuubi? I know that you all people had hidden him somewhere unless I would have found him. He is the last host of course."
The Raikage gritted his teeth and tightened his fist after hearing him and yelled, "You bastard" and proceeded to charge him but Tsunade held her hand in front of him stopping him. She looked at Madara and answered,
"We don't know either where he went. Trust me we tried many times to locate him but he was nowhere to be found. That is strange itself that knowing how noisy he is we should have been able to find him."
Madara's right Sharingan eye glowed in a very dangerous way and growled, "Stop lying to me. Answer me or I will find it myself." And he took out his trademark fan.
A couldn't take his patience anymore and charged headfirst creating a foot diameter crater where he stood previously, with speed barely able to follow by Jounins. The Raikage was glowing in electricity as his Raiton no Yoroi (Armor of Lightning) activated. Dust cloud flew out when he punched Madara. Everyone shield there eyes and when the dust settled they saw that the Raikage's fist was stopped by an old man with same physic as the Raikage. The man had white beard and was also glowing in lightning.
The Raikage's eyes widened in shock and shouted, "What?"
The old man said with a smirk, "Hello A, it's been a long time hasn't it?"
The Raikage said in shock, "Father….!"
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. In front of them was none other than the Raikage's father and the previous Raikage, the strongest Raikage, the Sandaime Raikage.
A shinobi from Kumo shouted, "Hey isn't that the man who invented the Raiton no Yoroi Jutsu, the user of strongest spear and shield and also uses the black lightning techniques?"
The old Raikage just looked at him with raised eyebrow and said to the shinobi, "Oh…. even kids these days know me?"
The two Raikages were still stuck there as the conversation was going. The Raikage felt weak and sadly asked, "Father…?"
The previous Raikage looked at A and sighed and said, "I'm afraid A that I'll have to fight you. Son….! I'm already dead. So don't hold back. Whatever means necessary stop me and free me from this bind."
A's eyes were shadowed and nodded then looked at the third and said with a determined voice, "Let's begin" and they exploded.
As soon as the Raikages started fighting, everyone jumped and started attacking. Tsunade punched a Zetsu clone destroying everything and proceeded to jump but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. She looked at the stopper but a punch hit her face and she flew away. She balanced in mid air and flipped back and stood on a boulder. As soon as she looked at her attacker her eyes widened in shock and tears started pouring out from her eyes. There stood her lover Dan and Hanzo of the Salamander in front of her.
Dan greeted her with a smile, "Hello Tsunade. My God, you have become more beautiful in passing days. How life's been treating you. Oh… I forgot you are the Hokage now isn't it? How I wish I was a Hokage…. Heh….he..but you fulfilled my dream Tsunade." He wiped out his tears and said, "I'm so happy Tsunade, I can't explain. I'm just happy"
Tsunade flew and embraced him so tightly that Dan's bones crack but they regenerated itself. Tsunade was sobbing and kissed him on his forehead and said sobbing, "Y-you don-n't know h-how lo-ong I have b-b-been waiting to e-emb-brace you li-k-ke thi-is. Everyone p-passed away l-leav-ving me alone in the w-world, first Na-awaki then y-you, afte-er that Sarutobi-sensei and the-en J-jiraiya, I'm livi-ing my life u-under a bo-oy's shadow. I lost my fai-ith in Hokages but this bo-oy, I don't know how he did but he r-renewed by hope."
Dan patted her back and reassured, "Shhhhh….everything will be alright. I'm happy for you Tsunade that you got your hopes back. But now is not the time for past flashbacks. We have a war to fight Tsunade. Please stay away from me. I don't know how much time I can hold without attacking you. It is almost my willpower that is restraining not to harm you. I'm sorry Tsunade that you have to fight me. But promise me that you will free my soul in anyway possible Tsunade."
Tsunade jumped back from her embrace and wiped out her tears and said, "I promise Dan" and they charged creating shockwaves.
The land became red in blood of ninjas. Explosions everywhere creating craters, the forest burnt in fire. Ninjas were dying left and right. Revived shinobis killed more ninjas then their previous lives.
(A/N- I'm not going to explain every fight occurred in this chapter. I'll explain in later chapters in flashbacks what happened to the other shinobis. I will only explain the fight between Tsunade and after that Naruto's fight)
Hanzo's hand blurred in hand seals and called out
Katon: Housenka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Technique)
Huge amount of fireballs erupted from his mouth and flew towards Tsunade in high speeds. Tsunade jumped high in the air to dodge and flew towards Hanzo fast but Dan appeared before her and sent a kick towards her but she blocked and gave a solid punch breaking his jaw and some teeth. Dan flew back and crushed through a tree and became still.
Tsunade quickly flip back and stood on the ground and activated her chakra scalpel. Hanzo slammed his right hand on the ground creating some disturbance. Tsunade saw it but wasn't fast enough to jump up. The papers on the ground wrapped around her feet and she shield her eyes. A huge explosion erupted from the spot where she was and she flew back several feet. She jumped back and balanced herself.
She hissed in pain and threw her green coat as the cloth burnt. She healed her injured leg and arms and stood up. Hanzo charged at her and threw a roundhouse kick. But she dodged and kicked him in the chin and he flew back upwards, and then Tsunade jumped up and kicked him so hard that every bone he had cracked. He flew towards a boulder and hit it destroying the thing. As Tsunade was coming down she was intercepted by Dan as he threw some kunais with explosive tags towards her. The tags exploded before her. Dan shielded his eyes from the brightness and waited for Tsunade to appear, but she appeared behind him and punched through his gut with her chakra scalpel. But to Tsunade's shock, Dan disappeared with puff of smock as he was just a shadow clone.
Dan appeared behind her and pushed his kunai through her neck. But she also disappeared in a puff of smock and it turns out to be a log of wood as she had substituted. Tsunade appeared a few distance away from him. Hanzo also joined Dan with no scratches on his body.
Tsunade was panting in overexerting much and she muttered, "Damn, it is very hard to deal with both the two. I need a miracle to win this fight. Dan is not much of problem but defeating the Salamander Hanzo will be very difficult. His poisons will be very dangerous if he keeps this up and he hasn't even shown his trump card yet. I hope he doesn't release the poison sack. I will have to bring out the Jutsu at this rate."
Her eyes widened as Hanzo flew through five hand seals that were very familiar to her and slammed on the ground and yelled
Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)
A huge cloud of smoke erupted and there stood three huge creatures. Tsunade's eyes widened as she saw the creatures. Three huge Salamanders were standing there. 'What? He even is able summon three Salamanders at once? How much power is given to them through Edo Tensei? Shit! This is bad' she thought eyes widened. As she was contemplating the consequences, she was unable realize her mistake as she was stabbed through her heart by Dan. Her eyes widened 'Shit, What the hell is wrong with me? I should have been able to sense the attack argh..' she coughed up blood and painfully punched Dan sending him flying. She quickly flew through a few set of hand seals and muttered
Infuin Kai: Sozo Saise (Genesis of Rebirth Technique)
The diamond of her forehead glowed and broke apart creating some kind of web like seals and her wound started healing including her internal organs. She stood up and was about to bring her big gun but a huge shockwave erupted from nowhere sending everyone flying towards every direction including Madara.
Everyone painfully stood up and slowly their eyes widened in shock to see what was in front of them. A complete mountain was blown off in front of them creating dust cloud which flew up thousands of meters. Every summon creature that had been summoned previously had dispelled as they were unable to bear the pressure of the shockwave.
The dust settled and they saw that there was a huge crater of the size of the mountain which was blown off. When the dust completely settled, they all saw that there was a figure standing in the middle of the crater wearing dark hoods. Everyone sped off towards the centre to know who the person was who was capable of blowing off mountains like child's play.
Madara was first to reach there as he had teleported and stood in front of the figure. Soon after everyone joined and stood surrounding him. Madara's force along with the revived people, Kabuto and Uchiha Sasuke also joined and stood along with Madara. Then they saw the full form of the mysterious man.
The man was wearing an Akatsuki cloak and had wooden cape covering his upper part. But some of his hair had been seen outside and the color of the hair was blond. His Akatsuki cloak also consisted with a spiral design on his back and shoulders. He was emitting a very powerful aura and even Madara was nervous in front of the man. But he hid his nervousness inside his mask so that no one could see him.
Uchiha Sasuke was very angry at the moment as he also had seen the devastation the man had done. He had thought that after gaining Itachi's power he would become the most powerful man after Madara but to his shock there was a person in front of him who was strong enough to wipe out an entire mountain which he couldn't do. He tightened his fist in rage and took out his sword. His sword glowed in lightning and he was about to charge but Madara held his left hand in front of him stopping him dead in tracks. Madara growled,
"Calm down Sasuke! Don't charge blindly towards an unknown enemy without knowing his abilities."
Sasuke just huffed and put his sword back to his sheath and stood glaring the figure. Madara step forward and asked the figure,
"Who are you?"
Silence, silence was everywhere as everyone heard his question. They also waited in anticipation if the figure would reveal himself or not but after five minutes were gone, the figure still hadn't even made an attempt to say or reveal anything. He was just standing there looking at Madara like a statue. This time Madara took out his fan and growled,
"Why are you not saying anything? I asked who you are. If you don't reveal yourself then there will be severe consequences."
This time the figure just chuckled and said a deep voice, "Such arrogance!" and sent a wave of killer intent towards them. The intent was so powerful that everyone thought it to be a shockwave.
This caused the Zetsu clones flying back and the ground erupted and some amount of dirt and stone started floating around the figure. Kabuto and Sasuke were sweating bullets from the effect of the killer intent. Madara just discarded the intent as he had experienced far more powerful intent from the Kyuubi when he had tamed it with his Sharingan in his battle against Hashirama.
The figure sighed and said, "Very well, I'll humor you with your request."
With that said he slowly removed his wooden cape. Sasuke, Madara, Kabuto and every Kages eyes widened seeing the figure's face. The person had long blond hair and had bangs of hair falling like the Yondaime Hokage. He had deep cerulean blue eyes that radiated a very deep foreboding aura and he had six whisker marks on the cheek. The person was none other than Uzumaki Naruto.
"NARUTO?" asked a shocked Tsunade and she was about to jump on him to hug but he held his hand and called,
"Not now, Ba-chan! I have something to finish."
Then he looked towards Madara and gave him a toothy grin and asked mockingly,
"Missed me?"
Madara growled in rage, "You Bastard! You have become such a thorn in my plans. For one and half years you disappeared from the face of the earth and now you are showing your face like that?"
"Naruto" Sasuke growled dangerously and tightened his fist so hard that his knuckles bled and asked, "How? How did you do that?"
"Heh..Sasuke you and your arrogance know no bounds huh?..well I'll answer your question when we face off in battle."
"But there is something I need to do before I drag your sorry ass back to afterlife." Naruto looked towards Madara and Kabuto. He then said,
"Oh…Kabuto, you are here also? Heh, I should have known that you would do such a thing."
Kabuto gave a foxy grin and said taunting Naruto, "Kukuku….my my Naruto-kun, you sure are the number one most surprising ninja of Konoha. Even after they refused your help in the war you sure are like to play hero by saving their asses."
All the Kages scowled after hearing this and thought how did he know about that and Tsunade lowered her head in shame. But to her surprise instead of yelling Naruto started chuckling and answered,
"Heh, I was not saving their asses idiot, they can take care of themselves. I just came here to kill Madara of course."
"Kukukuku…as if you can kill Madara" Kabuto said grinning like a fox.
Naruto laughed, "I know I can. You don't believe me? What about some demonstration then? Hmm..?"
"You are so sure of yoursel.." Kabuto was about to say but he couldn't complete his sentence. Naruto just disappeared from his place with a white flash and reappeared again in the same spot and slowly came down to the ground levitating with leaves flying around him.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock seeing his speed. No one was able to predict what he had done. He had just disappeared and reappeared in the same spot. Kabuto though was shocked to see what happened couldn't help but chuckle. He taunted,
"My, my Naruto-kun, it seems you have acquired some kind of trick or genjutsu to fool us but nothing happened. See we are safe and sound."
Naruto also chuckled and said, "Just wait and see" and he looked towards Madara. Madara had seen what happened and was internally growling. Everyone looked towards each other in confusion what happened. After few seconds everyone heard sounds of shredding. To their utmost shock, they saw that every Zetsu clone was splitting in two halves with a swift cut on their stomachs. In a few seconds every Zetsu clone dropped dead. Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Sasuke and Kabuto gaped at the scene. The Raikage muttered,
"So fast..I didn't even see him moving."
"Naruto what happened to you?" murmured a shocked Tsunade seeing his speed.
"Incredible!" everyone muttered.
Sasuke tightened his fist in anger and thought, 'So fast, I can't keep up with him even with the Sharingan. It is as if the Yellow Flash has returned from the dead. Narutoooo' he growled.
Madara had seen everything what happened there. His experience in fighting the Yondaime Hokage had him gave the opportunity to keep up with Naruto or else he wouldn't have seen him. He saw Naruto took out a sword from his sleeve and cut every Zetsu clones through their stomach.
Everything just happened within a fraction of a second. He was shaking in rage in thinking years of hard work and dedication in creating his army had disappeared in a fraction of a second. But he calmed down that if he would attack in rage, he would be at a disadvantage as he didn't know Naruto's skills yet and so he started formulating a plan. He said,
"Uzumaki Naruto, I see you have become much stronger than I thought. I can also tell that Sasuke is no match for you. But I have to confirm that first." He looked at Naruto. He saw that Naruto was silent and so he again said,
"So tell me boy, was it really the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) as I haven't seen you use seal markers anywhere be it is a three pronged kunai or other?"
Naruto remained silent as he looked towards the masked man. Seeing Naruto wasn't saying anything he again said,
"And I also saw you took out a sword from your sleeve when cutting my Zetsus but now there is no sword with you. So tell me where that sword came from?"
Naruto took a deep breath and sighed and answered, "I know that you saw me Madara. But a man of your caliber should have known that being an Uzumaki clan member I should be able to do fuuinjutsu, is it not?" he again said, "Yes I used my father's jutsu against those freaks, but I have developed the jutsu to the highest level. You know that my father was only able to do the second level of Hiraishin, but I have developed it to the fifth level which is probably the highest level of the jutsu. I used the third level to the clones though you still can keep up with me. If I had used the fifth level, you wouldn't have been able to keep track of me."
He took a breath and again said, "And as for my sword, I myself made it. I added Itachi's chakra into the blade and the blade became the very katana which was a legendary blade. Though the real katana lost with Itachi's dying, my blade reacted to Itachi's chakra and became the sword of sealing. But my blade is not as powerful as the original. It is just a copy."
"So you have the legendary Totsuka no Tsurugi?" Madara muttered, "But where did you get Itachi's chakra?"
"Itachi transferred some of his powers to me before he went to fight Sasuke. I used some of it as the spirit of Itachi told me to do so in my mindscape. But I still don't know what his powers will do in the future."
Madara muttered annoyed, "I knew Itachi would do such a thing. But what's done is done but now the time for conversation is over, now" he gestured to Kabuto and signaled him, "Kabuto, I'm sure you can handle Naruto, is it not?"
"Of course" Kabuto said and did a ram seal. All the revived shinobis started moving towards Naruto to attack him.
Naruto yelled to others behind him, "Everyone, get away from here as far as possible."
Hearing him Tsunade and others shouted, "But.." they didn't get the time to complete their sentence as they were grabbed by somebody and they all disappeared in a flash. When they reappeared far from the battlefield they looked at the person that grabbed them and saw that he was Naruto himself.
Tsunade asked, "Naruto?" but Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Kage Bunshin?" everyone muttered in shock. 'When did he make Kage Bunshins? I haven't even seen him made hand seals at all. Naruto how strong have you become?' Tsunade thought.
Meanwhile in the crater every revived shinobis started attacking Naruto. Kazu the third Raikage sped towards him with speed barely any shinobi can follow and gave a huge punch towards him but the blond blocked the punch with his forearm and threw him away from him and ducked under a kick from Hanzo. Then five revived ninjas surrounded him and threw shurikens and kunais and some explosive tags. Naruto held his arms outward and blew shockwaves from his palms. Every shinobi in ten meters radius was blown back along with the weapons.
Then he disappeared creating white smokes and reappeared above the previous Tsuchikage Muu and kicked him in the forehead. The Kage's head exploded from the force of the impact and the body flew through some boulders. But the Kage regenerated itself and went through some hand seals and called out,
Doton: Doryudan no Jutsu (Earth Style: Earth Dragon Technique)
A huge dragon of mud erupted from the ground and flew towards Naruto in high speeds but Naruto didn't move from his position as seeing the jutsu. He waited patiently for the jutsu to collide and when it neared he gave a huge punch on the head of the dragon and the mud dragon shattered into million of pieces.
Naruto sensed a presence behind him and bent in an impossible angle and a kunai strike passed over him. He quickly appeared behind Dan who had thrown the kunai and gave a choke in the neck paralyzing him. Dan lost control of his limbs and fell into the ground and never got up.
Sasuke and Kabuto watched Naruto fighting the ninjas in slack jawed. They never ever thought it to be possible for Naruto to toy with the previous Kages along with some skilled ninjas. He was fighting as if he was just fighting a gennin. Sasuke saw red in anger and tightened his fist. Sasuke quickly formed a Chidori (Thousand Birds) and dashed towards Naruto in high speeds. Naruto saw him coming from a distance and as soon as Sasuke thrust his jutsu to him to kill Naruto held his left hand up and there appeared a huge explosion. When the dust cleared, everyone saw that Sasuke's jutsu was stopped by Naruto who was grabbing Sasuke's hand. Then Naruto threw him towards Madara who caught him.
Madara's eyes narrowed as soon as he settled Sasuke down. He thought, 'This is ridiculous! How the hell did he become so strong? It doesn't make any sense at all. He is just too fast, I doubt if even I can match his speed now. That jutsu he used previously to blow back the others is just like the Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push). But it's not a gravity based jutsu, I can see that it's complete wind manipulation. Where the hell did he go to become like this?' he cursed in anger. 'At this rate I'll not be able to revive the Juubi. Shit! This brat has thrown a wrench in my plans.'
Kabuto watched in shock and fascination to the fight. He couldn't understand what had gone wrong in his plans. He never thought Naruto to be strong like this. 'Damn it! Even with the regeneration ability, he is still able to damage my minions. At this point, nothing he does will surprise me anymore. I bet he has a jutsu to seal away the soul of the ninjas and I can't let that happen.'
"ENOUGH OF THIS, YOU HAVE BECOME TOO MUCH NARUTO! NOW I WILL SHOW MY ULTIMATE TRUMP CARD WHICH TOBI ALSO DOESN"T KNOW" Kabuto snapped.
Naruto stopped fighting after hearing Kabuto's outburst and narrowed his eyes. He thought, 'He is planning something that I can sense. This could be bad. But I will wait and see.' Kabuto went through a few hand seals and yelled,
"Ku, ku, ku now Naruto-kun, FACE THIS"
Kuchiyose Edo Tensei (Summoning Impure World Resurrection)
From the ground a coffin emerged out in which a word was written in kanji that read 'Sennin'. The coffin completely emerged from the ground and started shaking. After a minute, the door of the coffin opened in a cracked voice creating white smokes. From the smokes, a figure appeared. The figure was wearing a neck high black cloak, he had a headband with two horns on his forehead and he had a staff with a gold ring attached to it. The gold ring had six comma like ornaments. The figure's eyes slowly opened and everyone gaped seeing his eyes.
Madara's eyes narrowed seeing the figure. He had thought of this probability when he allowed Kabuto to join into his group but he never thought he would be able to this. His Sharingan started spinning in high speeds in anger when he saw the eyes of the figure.
Naruto trembled seeing those eyes. He had never thought of meeting the person who was in legends. In front of them, there was none other than the Rikudou Sennin (The Sage of Six Paths) himself. But his eyes were not the Rinnegan eyes as showed by Pain. His eyes were different because his eyes contained not only the rings of Rinnegan but also nine Sharingan tomoes.
Madara growled seeing the sage and growled to Kabuto, "Kabuto, what is the meaning of this? Where the hell you got the DNA of the Sennin?"
Kabuto chuckled, "As if I will tell you. I already made myself vulnerable by telling you the secret of the Edo Tensei. But I haven't told you the last secret of the jutsu and I will never tell you ku ku ku….."
(A/N: I am also not going to reveal the final secret of the Edo Tensei right now. Because that is stored for future chapters)
Kabuto quickly took out a talisman kunai and hurriedly put it into the head of the sage. Then he put his hand in a ram seal and started laughing and said,
"Madara, I didn't tell you the last secret of the jutsu is because I was searching for the secret of the Rikudou Sennin and what I found is just incredible. Ha ha ha…. Now what will you do now Naruto-kun?" he said taunting Naruto.
But his smile disappeared when the man wasn't moving even he was controlling it and he frowned, 'What! Why isn't he moving? I thought I discovered the full secret of him. What's going on?'
To everyone's surprise, the Rikudou Sennin moved his right hand on to his head and pulled out the kunai from his head and threw it away. "WHAT?" Kabuto shouted in shock. The Sennin said in a deep voice,
"Heh…boy, I can't let my secrets revealed to anyone. Not even my two sons were able to figure out my secret, so it's impossible for you to know my final secret. So this is the future I died for? I thought that this day would eventually come. So I was right."
Kabuto trembled in shock as his jutsu didn't work. He thought, 'this is bad. This was my last trump card. Now either Madara or Naruto will kill me. I have to make my escape' and quickly formed a hand seal and disappeared in a puff of smoke indicating he had Shunshined away. Naruto saw him disappear and he also disappeared in a yellow flash and reappeared again in the same place. But this time, he was not alone. He was carrying Kabuto as he was escaping and Naruto captured him.
"No, you are not going anywhere. This time I'll not let you escape." Naruto said and threw him away and slammed his right hand on the ground creating some seals and trapped Kabuto with a barrier.
The Sage was shocked to see a ninja to travel such a high speed and capture a teleporting enemy. He was impressed with the kid but his eyes widened when he saw the kid's face. He started laughing loudly. Everyone sweat dropped seeing him like this. After a minute, he calmed down and said looking at Naruto,
"I have never thought of witnessing my prophecy like this. This is unbelievable! You child-" he said pointing towards Naruto "-are the "Child of Prophecy". You really are true."
Naruto gaped hearing the Sage's words. He asked, "Your prophecy?"
"Yes, yes my prophecy. Who do you think told the prophecy of the destined child to the Toad Sage of Myobokuzan hmm… child?"
Naruto's eyes widened in shock and he said stuttering, "T-that m-mea-anes y-yo"
"Yes I said him the prophecy. The toad is older than you thought heh…ha ha ha. Anyway actually, I didn't make the prophecy itself. Because I'm not a god, so it was the prophecy of the real gods. I dreamt of two boys who would either destroy or bring peace to this world. I know that the first boy Na-Na..what was his name again? Oh yeah, Nagato, that Nagato didn't turned out to be the one to create peace. But he gave you the belief and mental to create the peace is it not, Naruto?"
"Naruto…that's my name, how do you know my name?" Naruto asked shocked.
"Because I saw you in the dream, but something happened. In my dream you were not gone for one and a half years. Because of some mistake your future is not in the future but it is in somewhere else. Though you will create the peace that is not a doubt but your future won't end well."
Naruto got confused of the words of the sage. He thought, 'What future doesn't in the future? What does it mean?' The sennin took a deep breath and said,
"Boy, if you defeat me in a combat, I will tell you my final secret to you."
Madara narrowed his eyes after learning about the prophecy. He thought, 'So according to him, Naruto is really the destined child. I thought I eliminated the child by creating Pain as I thought Nagato was the child of prophecy. But I never thought the child of the fourth Hokage and Kyuubi jinchuuriki is the destined child. Shit! I made a mistake. I should have killed the child. I also know that Naruto will definitely defeat the sage and then he will come after me. And I'm not strong enough to face him. Maybe I should take my leave and take out that power. That is my last hope.' Then Madara grabbed Sasuke and called,
"Maybe we should take our leave as well Sasuke. This battle has turned into a level that I and you or any other can't comprehend. So it's better to be prepared next time."
And the two disappeared in a swirl but before that Sasuke's eyes glowed and he vowed, 'Next time I will kill you Naruto.'
'Next time Sasuke', Naruto thought. "So are you ready?" the sage asked.
"Yes" Naruto answered and took a stance.
"What about the people there?" the sennin asked pointing at Tsunade and others as he thought if they fought here, others will be involved.
Naruto reassured him saying, "Don't worry about them. I've erected a barrier before coming here so that they couldn't involve in the fight. The barrier is impenetrable."
The sennin focused his eyes and saw that there was a barrier surrounding them. He smirked and nodded as he had seen what Naruto had done to Kabuto. He took out his weapon which looked like a scythe and also took a stance. Naruto also took out two trench knives like Sarutobi Asuma used and took a different stance.
They stayed there calmly like statues and looking for any movement from the opponent. How many minutes passed they didn't know but they stayed still analyzing each other. After a few moments, a small leaf slowly fell down on the ground and as soon as the leaf touched the ground they charged each other with speed that no other ninja could have been able to follow. They clashed each other with a tremendous energy creating a massive shockwave. A blinding flash of light erupted when the two clashed their weapons with enormous force and speed. The two were so fast that even Sharingan wouldn't have able to predict what they were doing.
Like the dancing of the titans they fought with skill and power and neither was able to inflict damage to the other. Naruto seeing that he was getting nowhere, disappeared and reappeared few distance away. He quickly took out his sword as his sword skill was better and charged forward.
Now Naruto got the upper hand as he started damaging the sennin and since his sword was inflicted with sealing techniques, the damage he had done to the sage wasn't healing. The sage smirked and jumped back.
"You are very skilled indeed. I'm very proud that my successor has become such a remarkable shinobi. Your sword skills are marvelous. Now let's get serious"
He closed his eyes and concentrated for some time. Naruto's eyes got serious when the sky started darkening as cold wind started blowing. The ground started cracking and slow earthquakes started rising. Small shockwaves started erupting from the body of the sage creating dust cloud and clearing his place. The leaves flew away thousands of meters above the ground.
After a few minutes the sennin exploded destroying everything near him and sending everything back. Naruto concentrated his chakra on his feet as the shockwave struck him or else he would have blown back away. He covered his eyes with his forearm as the sennin was creating blinding flashes of energy and light. The radiation he was giving out was enough to collapse the ecosystem of the area. Fortunately the barrier prevented that thing happening. After some time the chaos died down and the dust clouds cleared.
Naruto's eyes widened seeing the destruction the sennin had made. Huge craters had been made by his energy radiation. Like an onion, closer the centre of the crater denser the crater. The sennin was convulsing violently as he was covered with a deep red aura and sparks of electricity. He had his six comma like patterns on his neck and six shadow like figures were lying on the ground.
He opened his eyes and his eyes glowed bloody red making a killing intent that could even freeze the Kyuubi. His eyes structure hadn't changed much except for the color. His eyes' color changed from grey to red.
'So that's the power of the Rikudou Sennin? So that's the power that defeated the Juubi? Truly amazing!' Naruto thought with amazement and surprised.
"You are the first human ever I have used this form against." The sage said with a voice so terrifying that any lower level Jounin would have passed out. His voice almost sounded like two voices merged together. "This is the form that gave me the name the Rikudou Sennin (Sage of the Six Paths)."
Naruto closed his eyes and sighed. He opened his eyes and said,
"Since you have turned on your ultimate trump card, maybe I should bring out my big gun too isn't it?"
The sage's eyes widened hearing it. Naruto then placed his two hands on the same formation when he gathered natural energy. He closed his eyes and after a few minutes he opened again. As soon as he opened his eyes a massive shockwave was blasted away from him creating a huge crater and blowing huge dust clouds. The energy he gave off was so pure that the wrinkled leaves were started renewing. Small plants grew into an adult tree in a matter of minutes.
When dust cloud cleared, he could be seen as a deep blue aura radiating from him. He opened his eyes and the sennin saw that Naruto's pupils were deep yellow and orange layer of color were seen on his outer layer of the eyes.
"So you have become a sage collecting natural energies from mother nature itself. Truly fascinating! I've known that you also have special powers and I was right." The sennin said amazed.
"sigh, you know almost everything is it not? Yes, it is called Sage Mode (Sennin Modo) and I use natural energy. This form is the second level of the Sage Mode." Naruto answered.
"I see, so how many levels are there in Sage Mode?"
"I've yet to discover the full extent of the Sage Mode's power but I've mastered it to the 3rd level." Naruto said.
The sennin smirked knowingly and said, "Truly remarkable! But time for conversations is over. Let's get started."
Naruto nodded and he was about to charge, the sennin held up his hand and said, "Hold up for a minute, will you? I still have something to bring."
Naruto's eyes narrowed hearing this but waited patiently for the sennin for what he was about to bring. The Six Path Sage went through a series of hand seals and opened his mouth wide. From his mouth four things appeared and he quickly grabbed the two with his hands and the other two were grabbed by his two of the shadow figures.
Naruto's eyes widened seeing the things and the moving shadows. He then narrowed his eyes and thought, 'so that's what happened to the ninja world. Now I understand why he was called the 'Father of the ninja world'.
"So that's why the Nara family was able to manipulate the shadows." Naruto said, "Because each of your paths represents six clans in the ninja world and the two sons of yours created three clans which made 9 clans were born from you as a whole."
The Rikudou Sennin smirked knowingly and said, "Oh! So you've figured out some secret puzzles of me. You are pretty smart. But it's not over yet. There are other secrets too which are much bigger than this."
"I know that." Naruto answered, "but you said yourself that you'll tell me your final secret once I defeat you."
"Yes, yes that's right. I said that but only if you can defeat me. Don't get ahead of yourself. I have many tricks up on my sleeves."
"Heh…but I'm very confident that I will get my answers from you. Like for example I know you have brought four of your five treasures just now." Naruto said.
"It's pretty simple to guess what is in front you child, but you shouldn't judge a book by its covers. Like everybody knows about my five celestial weapons but nobody knows the full extent of my Bashousen (Banana Palm Fan), Benihisago (Crimson Gourd), Kokinjo (Golden Canopy Rope), Shichiseiken (Seven Star Sword) and Kohaku no Johei's (Amber Purifying Pot) powers. These five weapons were the very first weapons which gave me the strength to seal up the Juubi."
"Guess I have to find out, won't I?" Naruto answered and dashed towards the Sennin.
The Sennin grinned and also charged with incredible speeds. Huge explosions erupted when the two clashed. White flashes and shockwaves erupted whenever the two collided each other. The sky darkened and thunder cloud started assembling. The atmosphere cooled down and huge lightning started sparking everywhere.
The sennin waved his Bashosen and called out
Rikudou Fuuton Ninpou: Kamikaze (Six Paths Wind Element: Divine Wind)
A huge amount of souring wind raced towards Naruto in high speeds. Naruto then took out his other sword and swung two times at an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical making an X formation and cut the wind attack in halves. He then sped towards the sennin with incredible speed and gave an uppercut but the sennin blocked with his Shichiseiken. Then he flicked his left wrist and instantly one of his shadows impaled him. But Naruto disappeared with a poof of smoke indicating it was a shadow clone.
The real Naruto appeared behind him and swung his sealing sword and cut the sennin in half. But the sennin dissolved into mud as it was a mud clone. Naruto looked for the sennin and he used his sensor abilities to find. He found and looked towards the sky. His eyes widened seeing the sennin flying above the ground. But his surprise quickly became a smirk as he also concentrated his wind affinity to levitate upwards and flew towards the sennin. When he reached the level of the sage he grinned and said,
"So you are starting to show your gravity manipulation huh?"
The Sage also smirked and said, "Talk about yourself. You also can fly. You must be using wind manipulation to propel yourself up the ground. That must have been lot of control from your part. Truly amazing!"
"Yes it is very difficult to control wind manipulation when you are not in the Sage Mode, but when you are Sage Mode, you don't need all that concentration. Since Sage Mode gives me the power to become one with the nature, I can control the forces of nature pretty easily."
Naruto then concentrated his wind affinity and dashed towards the sennin to attack. The sage held up his two hands in the front and said
Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push)
"Oh Shit!" Naruto cursed and he also placed his own hands in the front and yelled,
Fuuton: Kaze Bakuhatsu (Wind Element: Wind Blast)
A shockwave of wind blasted away from his hands and the two attacks collided creating an enormous explosion. Naruto and the sage flew back several meters but they balanced themselves and again charged each other. A tail of their aura could be seen as they dashed towards each other in high speeds. Naruto swung his sword two times and said
Kaze Kenjutsu: Shokkuweibu (Wind Sword Style: Shockwave)
Two slashes of wind flew towards the sage in incredible speed which could cut anything in its path. The sage seeing the attack coming towards him and suddenly stopped. He then yelled,
Enten Inferuno (Blazing Inferno)
Then all of a sudden a huge amount of black flames covered his form. The attack collided with his black flame armor and a huge explosion occurred. Naruto shield his eyes from the brightness and after a minute he looked towards the sage and his eyes widened. He saw that the sage's eyes were glowing more brightly now and he was unharmed. His armor of black flames had become a huge vortex.
'So that's why a Mangekyou Sharingan can shoot black flames. Amaterasu was originally the sennin's technique. That's the perfect technique for Yang manipulation.' Naruto thought amazed. He then saw that the sage had extended his right arm. He prepared for whatever to come from the sage and took a stanch. But to his complete shock, the sage's palm started glowing and after few seconds he heard a word very familiar to him.
Meiton: Judgmento (Darkness Element: Judgment)
A huge beam of chakra flew towards him in speeds barely anyone can avoid. Naruto blocked his arms in hoping of stopping the attack. But to his shock the attack tore through him like butter through a knife. A huge explosion occurred where Naruto stood as the attack collided him.
The sennin stood there motionlessly as he looked towards the destruction he made. After calmly standing for a while, he suddenly looked backwards and an enormous kick hit him square in the face and he flew downwards and collided with lots of trees setting them in black flames. He crashed on a boulder incarnating it. He quickly got back up and had to avoid a series of punches and kicks. He dodged a punch and jumped back and stood. He looked around for his attacker and he didn't have to wait any longer, his attacker suddenly appeared few distance from him in a yellow flash.
"You, how did you avoid my attack? I saw your body and chakra completely vaporized with my eyes. But how are you alive?" the sage asked Naruto curiously.
Naruto smirked and said, "It's very beneficial for a guy if his father was the fastest ninja in history is it not? The Hiraishin no Jutsu has its benefits you know. And as for me dying, actually that never happened. There is a jutsu which can fool any kind of eye technique. The Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is my most favorite jutsu."
The sennin looked surprised but smiled. 'It seems that the ninja world have come a long way since my death. They have created some useful tricks and his speed technique is the most incredible technique I have ever seen. It is even faster than my Jinton techniques.' He thought. He then moved his forefinger and pointed towards Naruto and called out,
Enton: Kagutsuchi (Flame Release: Kagutsuchi)
A huge amount of black flames flew towards Naruto. Naruto seeing the flames accelerating towards him smirked and quickly pulled out a scroll and opened it in milliseconds. He then bit his thumb and placed the blood on the scroll and created a hand seal. All that happened in a matter of a second. He then said
Fuinjutsu: Fuukahouin (Sealing Tech: Fire Suppression Seal)
To the shock of the sage, his flames stopped and started to assemble. With his eyes he saw that the flames were covered with a layer of chakra and were started to assemble towards the scroll. There the scroll absorbed all the fire and a word in kanji appeared on the scroll which read 'Fire'. The shocked sennin described his amazement
"You sealed off my attack? Incredible."
"Heh..this is nothing. Actually I learned this to counter Sasuke's Amaterasu but since you are also able to manipulate black flames, I thought of practicing here. Hehehehe"
Naruto said and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. The Rikudou Sennin smiled and suddenly disappeared from view. 'Wha! So fast. It must be his Jinton (Swiftness Element) technique.' Naruto thought. He suddenly sensed an attack from behind and he bent his body in incredible flexibility so that the kick passed right above his head. He then tried to punch the sennin's face but the sage blocked with his forearm. An incredible shockwave passed through the area as the punch met the forearm.
After that the two again disappeared and reappeared some distance away locking in an intense Taijutsu fight. As the two locked in combat, the sky more darkened and huge thunderclouds started assembling. The black flames that were on the sennin's armor caused the area to heat up to thousands of degrees. The area became black in ashes of the burnt plants and trees as well as rocks. Huge thunder lightning started forming as the two met their palm to palm, feet to feet, kick to kick and massive shockwaves formed.
Naruto seeing that they were evenly matched thought to increase his speed with a small portion of the Kyuubi chakra. As the chakra gathered he exploded in white light and kicked the sennin in blinding speed on the chin. The sage flew up in the sky by the impact of the kick. The sennin saw stars as the kick hit him. As he flew several thousands of meters he shook his head to clear up and he recovered. He stopped and saw Naruto approaching him in super sonic speeds. He quickly formed some hand seals and muttered
Senjin Kuchiyose (Sennin Art Summoning Technique)
As soon as he muttered his jutsu a huge portal opened up in the blackening sky and huge red flames started appearing through the portal. Naruto stopped as he saw the portal and waited what was all that about. To his surprise, through the black and red portal a massive bird came out spreading its fifty meter wide wings which were on red fire. The bird's beak was golden yellow and its feathers were crimson color. The bird shrieked and flew towards Naruto with same speed as Naruto was traveling.
"Oh! Give me a break. This is ridiculous, a surprise after another? What is this guy? This time he actually summoned a Phoenix?" Naruto yelled. He quickly turned back and started to fly away in super sonic speeds. The Phoenix also chased after him in same speeds. Naruto increased his speed and disappeared through the black thunderclouds with a sonic boom. He traveled through Mizu no Kuni (Water Country) passing its border and entered the border of Whirlpool land. Naruto looked behind as he was traveling in blinding speed and saw that the bird was also chasing him in the same speed if not the more as he thought the bird was gaining on him.
'How can a bird travel at such speeds? I have never seen a bird fly this fast. A swift is nothing compared to this. Such amazing summons really existed huh…' he thought 'the old sage told me about legendary summons of the Rikudou Sennin but I never thought it to be true. Now I understand why people worshiped him as the God. His legends really are true. Wow! And I've got the honor of fighting him. This is so much amazing and so much fun…..' Naruto smiled and started laughing and accelerated to his top speed of flying with wind manipulation.
(A/N: Naruto's top speed using wind manipulation is almost thousand miles per second)
He again looked back and again saw that the bird was gaining on him. Even with his top speed, Naruto growled in frustration that he couldn't escape the bird. He suddenly stopped with a massive boom. He turned back and said watching the approaching bird
"sigh, all right. Playtime is over you stupid bird. I've gotta finish you now."
He then closed his eyes and opened them. His surroundings started to warp on him and in the split second he disappeared in a boom with light dissipated on his tail. The bird in question stopped abruptly only to shriek in pain as it was sliced to thousands of pieces in femto seconds. The bird vanished in a poof of smoke. Naruto sighed in relief and again disappeared in a boom with light dissipating on his tail.
Meanwhile the sennin was standing there watching the bird chasing his blond haired opponent and saw them disappear through the thunderclouds. But he didn't choose to chase them as he can see through the bird's eyes completely. He saw Naruto increasing his speed passing the barrier of the speed of sound and go beyond. But his bird also increased its speed and gained on his opponent.
He frowned when he saw that Naruto had turned back and after that his eyes widened seeing him disappear in a manner he never thought possible. It was so much faster that his bird couldn't even grasp what happened and it was sliced to thousands of pieces. And smaller than one second Naruto suddenly appeared in front him with a tremendous boom. He yelled in surprise and then he saw that Naruto's surrounding space was warping as though they were making a shield of some sort.
Amazed the sennin asked, "What did you do? How can you reach me in a time smaller than one second from a place in the other end of the earth? What kind of technique is that?"
"Heh…of course you wouldn't know what I did." Naruto muttered. Then he answered
"It's the ultimate speed technique that I have developed. I spent months of thinking it out. I can use my father's speed technique and mastered to the highest level but there still was something missing from the jutsu as I've seen. My father also perhaps felt it too. But I'm sure that he couldn't have figured out until he mastered the highest level."
The Rikudou Sennin listened carefully to understand what he was saying. He frowned hearing him saying in riddles and he said his impatience
"What are you talking about? I'm not understanding any of it."
"Yes, Yes I'm getting into that you impatient old geezer." Naruto said. The sennin cursed and mumbled something youngsters these days don't have respect to elders. Naruto chuckled but said
"My ultimate speed technique is that I wanted to cross the barrier of the cosmic speed limit, the Speed of Light as you know it."
The Rikudou Sennin's eyes widened in shock as he understood what Naruto had said
"WHAT? YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT YOU CAN TRAVEL BEYOND THE SPEED OF LIGHT? BUT THAT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU GO, YOU CAN'T EVEN REACH THE SAME SPEED OF THE COSMIC SPEED LIMIT. EXPLAIN TO ME NOW…" The sage yelled in shock.
"Hehehehe…..I'm not explaining to you that you know as we have little time to spare. But I'm saying that I've found a way to break the cosmic speed limit and can proudly say that I have been able to do that. You yourself saw the result of my ultimate technique just now. I call it 'Wapu Sokudo (Warp Speed)' and it crosses the Speed of Light."
The sennin's eyes were in big as dinner plates by hearing him say that he was able to cross the barrier of the speed of light. 'Holy Mother..! That's incredible. To have such speed in your hands. You can't even predict where he can attack you if he uses that kind of speed. That's the most incredible technique I have ever seen in my entire life. I'm so proud of my successor. His father must be an amazing warrior if he got the idea from his father's technique. Wow!' he thought in most surprise in amazement.
"I'd say actually I was developing space-time techniques to counter Madara's techniques. And I stumbled upon my technique. In this technique I warp the space around myself so that I can be in the same time and place before and after warping. If this is not taken into account the time dilation will instantly kill you as traveling at near speed of light takes you to the future. But as I warp the space around myself which is in the same time, I don't suffer that. And after that the space around me becomes a blob of space and accelerated beyond the speed of light. You could say that I don't even travel but the space itself moving on its own. And since the space moves, you don't physically travel which makes it possible to break the cosmic speed limit." Naruto explained.
"Truly amazing! So I should give up don't you think as I can't track you with that kind of speed." The Sennin said smiling.
"No, not really as I don't plan on using my Warp Speed on you. I wanna test my techniques on you without doing any special techniques like this. I could have used Hiraishin no Jutsu on you but didn't use it because I don't want our fight to be over just yet. As well I also want to show my abilities to you and listen to your opinion on them." Naruto also said smiling.
The sennin was amazed that his successor saying such a way. He smiled a true smile and said, "Let's continue." And the two charged each other.
A/N- If I can get a beta sooner or later, you guys can expect new chapter in every month from then on. This story will be epic length story and there are many things I have yet to describe. There will be a huge twist in the future so be ready to get surprised. In the story, Naruto will be God like as I have always liked a very strong Naruto. Even in the manga, Naruto is kicking ass. So it's no surprise for me to make him overpowered.
But Naruto will not be the only one with overpowering abilities, the villains will be even more overpowered and I'm not talking only about Madara.
Only with the flashback arc, story is gone over 40k length, so I expect this story will be very long.
Until next time
Bye
