Imperishable Night

He continued to blush up a storm, not unlike a hormonal teenager which he had been very convinced had grown out of for a good many years. It was quite a wonder as to how he could possibly return to that very uncomfortable phase of his life just from merely witnessing and holding on to the naked body of what was in essence his truth-seeking ball given life.

Technically...as of now Kaguya is also his Outer Path, but that was neither this nor there.

Oh yes, give Kaguya some clothes before the situation gets a little more uncomfortable...for him.

With prompt use of YinYang Release, a thick wisp of red mist started to form around the Kaguya's new body. The woman in turn gazed at the mist curiously, though the half-smile she gave him remained.

The mist surrounding her started to take a more tangible form, and in time transformed into a form-fitting red shinobi battle dress with flowing yellow trimmings. What was once her smooth bare arms were now covered by red-yellow sleeves that reached to the upper part of both her arms. (1)

Kaguya appraised what she now wore for a brief moment, moving her arms almost experimentally to determine how well her new body functioned. Seemingly satisfied, she then lifted herself from Naruto's grasp without much effort, but very much to his surprise.

It was an entirely new body, constructed from material that would not normally be used to create a living vessel. Considering the amount of time Kaguya remained sealed in the Gedo Mazo, he had been expecting the now freed Otsutsuki to take some some to re-orient herself and take slow steps to get used to the motor functions of her new body, let alone standing up without much effort on her part.

Naruto's shock dissipated soon after, he should not be too surprised after all given what Kaguya had been capable of, with or without the Shinju.

Kaguya had her eyes on him again, and this time it did not contain any trace of her inquisitive or calculative demeanour. Instead Naruto could see gratitude, and strangely enough..a deep longing.

"Thank you Mikado..." was all she said at that moment.

Naruto was again startled by the sincerity in her voice, and the genuine smile that adorned her face continued to fuel his shock. As far as Naruto Uzumaki knew, this was not the Kaguya Otsutsuki that he would ever imagine to witness.

For what was before a visage of apathy and wrath was now replaced with something else. Something much more passionate...

For some reason, there was a lump in his throat, as he struggled to find a response to her sincere show of thanks.

"I-it is the right thing to do...after all these years." he stuttered as he momentarily mustered some words to respond. In his mild disoriented state he did not notice the smile Kaguya wore widened slightly.

Naruto continued to form words, trying so very hard to lift himself from this state of embarrassment.

"I...I can understand why...why you did what you did Kaguya. All those years you knew what would happen if humanity was given powers that they were never ready to wield...and why you made the world hate you the way they did." Naruto continued, his voice still uncertain.

"It took me over a century to realise that. I suppose I'm sorry that it wasn't sooner..."

He apologised, however he knew whatever he said would not reverse his mistakes. Indeed his was well aware his guilt should not have been as deep and scathing as he would reasonably expect to feel. No one deserved millennia being sealed in a statue, locked deep within the moon. But somehow his guilt, the stabbing of his conscience went deeper than that, almost as if the very idea that he had caused her so much torture and loneliness had been too unbearable...a personal wrong.

An unforgivable sin.

Kaguya looked to the side, her response softer, almost a whisper but not really so.

"To be fair, seeking the complete subjugation of the earth isn't exactly a redeeming factor on my part. I suppose I am glad that I have a breath of new life to begin with in a way." she replied.

That did nothing to lessen his guilt, in fact it merely worsened it. A feeling that he had a growing sense of confusion.

Recalling the years experiencing bouts of memories that were not his, and dreams of being a person whom he knew not who it was...

Memories of the woman in front of him, and a name that was so familiar.

He knew he had to ask her, the woman in front of him must know the answer to the questions that had plagued him for a whole century.

"Who is Mikado, Kaguya?" Naruto finally voiced out the question he held on to for the many years since the very first moment the name came to him. Kaguya froze at the question for a short moment, turning her head towards him slowly with an impassive expression. There was more to it however, for in her eyes he could now see an emotion that once again he would never expect the stone-cold Rabbit Goddess to hold.

Sorrow and forlorn, as well as hurt.

An emotion that caused him to bristle, as he almost subconsciously wanted to avoid causing to her. A part of him wanted to pull back on the question.

No...

He could not help it, he needed to know why he felt the way he did whenever his thought lingered on the once Rabbit Goddess...

And the rage he felt when Hagoromo did what he did, and said what he said. The fact that in his daze he referred to the old spirit as "son".

Kaguya sighed softly upon being asked that question,

"Someone I knew...a long time ago, longer than I knew Hagoromo and Hamura..."

"Why then? Why did you call me Mikado?" Naruto pressed on. The woman in front of him continued to falter, hesitant...unwilling to persist on this line of conversation. His desire to learn the truth overriding whatever discomfort it was causing on her however.

"Please tell me Kaguya, who is Mikado, and why did you call me Mikado?!" Naruto asked again, he felt desperate...he wanted so much an explanation as to why there were times that he did not act like himself, there were times where strange feelings that seemed so foreign and unexplained surged through him alongside the memories of a life he did not live.

"You were Mikado." Kaguya replied simply, a lone tear falling from her bright amber eyes. Naruto was rendered silent from the sudden answer, he was shocked by what he heard...but he could not exactly say that he did not expect it.

Despite the discomfort he knew she experienced by his hands, he could see no anger on the reincarnation of the Rabbit Goddess. All he saw was sorrow.

"Who was Mikado you ask?" she chuckled slighly, before her eyes focused on to his again. The intensity behind them returned, unrestrained emotion and passion could be seen behind them.

"Mikado was the only man I loved and will always love." Naruto once again taken aback by the honesty of Kaguya's reply.

"Mikado had been everything to me...and I would destroy the world...burn everything to cinders for his sake." Kaguya no close the gap between Naruto and herself, in time whatever personal space they had between themselves had been completely closed.

Naruto could once again feel the closeness between himself and Kaguya, his heart raced as he realised how close they were to each other.

"You were Mikado, and now you are Naruto Uzumaki. Now you know why I made that slip of the tongue." She finished, her answer simple...blunt even.

There was a pause as Naruto mulled over the revelation, a long expected revelation...but one nonetheless.

He was the reincarnation of Mikado...

The reincarnation of Kaguya Otsutsuki's one and only lover.

Samsara really had quite a way on the inner workings of fate and destiny, had it been any other situation, he would have allowed himself to release a sardonic chuckle. But this was hardly the time for that.

He was Mikado, Kaguya said as much. It did not change the fact that he is now Naruto Uzumaki.

And he probably will remain Naruto Uzumaki, for as long as he could see.

"You said it yourself Kaguya, I was Mikado. But I am-."

"No longer him. I know.", Kaguya interrupted him before he could complete the sentence. As she said it, she pulled back from him, creating more space between them.

He felt the urge to close his eyes, and he did so. He felt the urge to shield himself from the hurt that would have likely been clear on Kaguya's face.

"You really think existing for as long as I have would make me ignorant of reality? Willfully blind?" Kaguya replied, her voice strained despite the calm bravado she was attempting to adopt.

"W-well...he is the past, I am no longer him. As much as I may want to be him, I cannot...I'm sorry Kaguya. Please do not call me Mikado any longer...I am not the man you knew." Naruto continued.

A pregnant pause, before she finally answered.

"I would not expect any less..." it was a forced response, barely restrained sorrow beneath her calm facade. He did not want to say what he said as he could feel a part of him wept for the hurt that Kaguya must have felt.

But he had to draw a line, whether he was Mikado or not it ultimately meant one thing. It was all in the past, and he could not discard who he currently is in favour of a person who was long dead.

Naruto...despite laying this fact bare, could now only lower his head, unwilling to look Kaguya in the eyes. He knew not how the once Rabbit Goddess would take this declaration...

rage?

fury?

spite?

Some emotion in between?

He was not keen on knowing, but he certainly expected something along those lines and he would not blame her for feeling that way.

Which was why it came as a surprise as he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He broke out of his stupor and finally mustered the courage to look up, only to see Kaguya looking at him intently. No anger, no fury, no loathing or hate.

Renewed confidence, despite resignation being apparent in her expression.

"Stop moping Naruto, I believe there is more important matters to attend to isn't there? That's the other reason you are here after all." upon hearing Kaguya changing the subject, he quickly regained his composure and nodded at her suggestion. Inwardly he was surprised by how well she took all of that. Or perhaps she was merely hiding how she felt behind a facade of strength and nonchalance, he did not have time to think it over.

Kaguya removed her hand from his shoulder and turned to face the mass of chakra that is the Shinju. He could not discern what was running through her head as she looked on to the source of godlike energy that was kept barely stable by the Banbutsu Sozo seal.

After slightly over a minute, Kaguya broke the silence.

"All these power in front of us, whatever do you plan on doing with it Naruto?" a question, one that threw him off. Naruto half expected that the ages as the Rabbit Goddess would have given her an idea what to do with this near endless source of power.

"I would have expected you to tell me what I should do with the power of Shinju." Naruto replied honestly.

Kaguya moved her head slightly, staring back at him with a lone eye, "I have been stuck with this mass of chakra for ages and it has given nothing but torture, I'm not at all interested in having control over it again thank you."

Turning back her head towards the mass, "Shinju is your responsibility now Naruto. You are the Sage of Six Paths after all..."

The past minutes...in a civil conversation with a woman whom once could have completely destroyed the Elemental Nations continued to surprise him. His rational mind continued to expect a degree of power hunger, or insanity that she seemed to emulate during the Fourth Great War. Yet what he now lay witness was someone whom was very much lucid...weary despite the quiet confidence in her demeanour and voice.

She was so very ready and willing to give up on the powers that could turn any person into a God had they so desire.

He however did not have all the time in the world to contemplate on expectation versus reality, there was still the pressing matter on Shinju...

And the Fifth Great war.

"I still need advice Kaguya. What do I do with it?" Naruto pressed for a recommendation from the individual with the most first-hand experience of the God Tree's power.

He was about to explain why he had to make a decision as soon as possible, the fact that a-

"There's a war underway down there isn't it?" Kaguya replied before he could complete his thoughts. He merely answered with a yes.

"and you need to know how the Shinju can be used to put and end to this war, and any other future wars isn't that right?" she continued her question to which he once again could say nothing more than a 'yes'.

He heard her sigh in response.

"Lets get this out of the way...are you still interested in the Infinite Tsukuyomi?" Kaguya asked bemusedly.

Naruto answered on instinct, "No! Definitely not!"

She gave a chuckle in response, "Are you sure you won't consider it, it is after all...the quickest way to end the war."

Over the years he thought the deed to be abhorrent, yet more recently...

Despite the strong reaction he had against that proposition, he acknowledged the merit of the act. It was indeed the quickest and most effective way of grinding the Great War to a halt. Yet he could not quite bring himself to completely destroy the minds of all of humanity.

And even if he did so, how long could he hold it until it was broken again?

"I am sure Kaguya."

Kaguya shrugged, "thought as much, well you are the one making the decision not me." There was no spite in her words, it was a simple statement of fact. Though he was unable to gauge her reaction given that her face was turned away from him.

Naruto expected a different suggestion, he was however met with a question instead.

"Do you want the God Tree's power Naruto? To wield it yourself?" Kaguya asked, a question that puzzled him by the suddenness of it.

"No." he answered simply after a short moment of contemplation, he never wanted the power of Shinju...even though his apparent ancestry bestowed upon him its residual power...and some side effects that came with it.

"What would you want to do with it then?" she continued with her line of questioning.

Kaguya now turned to face him, her brow raised quizzically, expecting his answer.

He was unsure as to the direction of her questions but he wanted to see where this direction would lead to, so he spoke his mind.

"If I had any say in it, I would rather the earth reclaim the God Tree. Let nature itself, armed with its power be the judge of the living." was his answer.

"Let nature itself be in control of Shinju?" Kaguya asked, her brow raised.

Naruto remained silent, yet nodded.

There was a short pause after his response, though not for long as a knowing smile crept up to Kaguya's face.

"Looks like you have your answer Naruto." she replied.

The answer puzzled him, what did she mean by that? How could allowing the earth to reclaim Shinju be the solution to ending the wars? How could doing so be the catalyst for peace?

Drowning in a sea of questions that formed in his head, Naruto replayed his answer to Kaguya over and over again...attempting to make sense of his response.

It was then he a spark of realisation came to him

Let nature itself, armed with its power be the judge of the living

It seemed like a figure of speech when he first spoke it, nothing more than idealistic puff. Though as he contemplated on the words over and over again...it started to make sense.

When the first shots were fired, and when flesh met metal...the earth never stopped weeping, wailing...screaming in agony as its very surface was scorched by jutsus of every element, alongside the conventional weapons of mass destruction developed by a warmongering people.

The earth is helpless against the destruction caused by its inhabitants, and will remain so until the war ends...whether it be through truce between the nations...or until the lives of countless perish.

As the moment of clarity hit him, Naruto knew at that very moment the best way to ensure that Shinju's power would never fall to the wrong hands, whilst also bringing about the end of this war and the wars to come.

Kaguya's smile widened slightly about the same time as he discovered the answer to the problem.

Naruto started to move, approaching the accumulated chakra of the Shinju held within the seal, Kaguya moved aside as he walked past her. Now as close as he was towards the godlike chakra, he felt himself pause for but a moment.

His uncle's words now rang through his head.

Humanity needed a constant reminder, one that would never weaken nor vanish.

Even if for but a short moment they forget...they will experience pain.

Through pain they will remember once again.

And when they remember, can there finally be a lasting peace.

His chakra flared, and as it did the tomoes of the Banbutsu Sozo seal started to spin. A violent quake once again filled the chamber, but this one had been much more severe than the others.

A portion of the chamber started to crack, and with each crack parts of the moon's centre started to fall off, allowing the vacuum of space to enter.

A gaping hole could now be seen in the chamber, and beyond that hole was the clear form of the planet that had been the home to humanity for countless ages. There were fires on the surface of earth as the war continued to rage on.

Even from the moon, Naruto could see everything...could feel everything.

As the chamber started to turn to rubble and the unforgiving space started to seep in, Naruto manifested his Susanoo again as protection against the vacuum.

Though unlike the Susanoo he manifested before, this one had been much bigger. Large enough to encompass himself, as well as Kaguya. Its size enough to tower over the compressed mass of Shinju chakra that was now entering in a state of flux.

Both his palms flared with Yin and Yang chakra, as he directed the flames towards the purple chakra mass that is the Shinju.

Banbutsu Sozo: Tenchikaibyaku (2)

Naruto could now feel a strong pull that emanated from the shifting mass of chakra that was the Shinju. Though unlike prior where the Chakra of the surrounding Bijuu and himself were being absorbed by the Gedo Mazo, it was now absorbing chakra from the earth itself. An overwhelming amount of Nature Chakra being drawn by the moon from the earth and ultimately channeled towards massive Chakra construct with his body as the conduit.

As the massive influx of nature chakra was pulled by the moon, flowing through his body and merging with Shinju's chakra, he felt everything. The agony caused by the uncontrolled destruction of the earth.

And hate so deep and uncontrollable...

The negative emotions felt by the participants of the Fifth Great war had affected nature's chakra, Naruto could feel its oppressive energy flowing through him and out,

It was suffocating, and Naruto could feel his very body being strained by the almost tainted nature chakra. He could hear himself groan...and Kaguya groaned with him. It had pained him to realise that given her connection with him as his Outer Path, the sensations felt by the creator of the path would spillover to his path.

Hence whatever agony he had been feeling right now, she felt it with no less intensity.

With each influx of nature chakra that continued to bind nature itself with the godlike power of the Shinju, changes started to take place to it.

Oh so very clearly did he notice the progressive change...the mass of chakra shifted from purple, to a dark red hue

And finally setttled to a black fiery mass, darker than the flames of Amaterasu.

The banbutsu sozo seal underneath Shinju's chakra changed along with it. Gone was the Rikudo Seal and its YinYang Pupil. It had instead transformed into the familiar pattern of Juubi's eye, the seal glowed a scarlet hue.

Naruto knew that Shinju was now completely bound to the earth itself and the outcome of this union filled him with dread.

The sins of the Shinobi Age was unmistakeable, the endless bloodshed and atrocities committed by people against each other and the earth itself left nothing but malice in the energy of nature itself. The cruelty of its inhabitants in turn made the earth cruel, and when the near limitless power of Shinju returned to the earth...

Humanity would be at nature's mercy, and nature will not show mercy.

Envy, sadness, loneliness, hatred, wrath...

All these thoughts and feelings that earth's inhabitants use as a catalyst to inflict pain on each other and the very ground they walk on...the earth would return it with no less wrath.

He knew what would become of Shinju the moment it returned to the earth. It would be just like Juubi all over again.

However unlike Juubi, Kaguya would not longer be in control of it...it will not hold back.

As these thoughts resonated in Naruto's mind, he felt his legs buckle, his arms shaking. His whole body became unwilling to go through with this deed.

He began to hesitate...

He no longer was the idealistic teenager who dreamt of being the future Hokage that much is true, but he still very much allowed emotions to fuel his acts, his sentimentality to hold him back from doing what needed to be done.

Giving the Shinju back to nature was the right thing to do, yet despite all of these Naruto could not help but second-think himself.

The moment the Shinju returns to earth...everything will change.

It might just spell the end of the Elemental Nations, Shinobi and non-shinobi alike would face horror unimaginable. Could he live with himself knowing that he condemned humanity to such an eternal fate?

He wanted to scream, he felt helpless...oh so helpless that despite the power he held and the power he now could hold, he could not change the vary nature of humanity itself.

There was no better outcome, for he had tried all of them.

His inner conflicts and growing despair were however halted as he felt a hand softly touch his shoulder, gently and soothingly. He could hear Kaguya's voice, soft as before but no less resonating. He could not help but listen intently.

"I have absolute faith in you Naruto. Even if the rest of the world questions what you do, I will not."

Those very familiar words, words he heard from a long time ago...words that he once said to someone very precious to him.

Said to the woman whom now used the same words to him.

Naruto looked back towards Kaguya. A warm smile adorned her face...and he could the whirlpool of emotions that filled them.

"Why?" he asked Kaguya, desperate for her answer, desperate of why she felt what she felt.

He felt Kaguya hug his back, a gesture that surprised him as his body stiffened. Though soon enough it relaxed, subconsciously accepting it.

"You know the answer to that question well enough Naruto...you know what must be done...and I will support you, for all eternity if need be."

Those words rang through his head, the apathetic and cynical Rabbit Goddess...so willing to put faith in him.

At that very moment his shaking stopped and his mind cleared, Naruto realised that her words of encouragement were enough to steel his resolve. As shocking as it may be her faith in his decision was all he needed to quash his doubts.

Naruto now turned back to the earth's embodiment of Shinju, gone were his reservations. A grim determination now took its place.

Kaguya freed herself from him, giving the Sage the needed space to complete the process.

With the towering form his Susanoo, Naruto pointed his palms outwards, the fiery behemoth following suit.

His Chakra surged again, and now had been directed outward through his palms.

Shinra Tensei

Its power amplified by his Susanoo, a resounding crack akin to thunder now filled the chamber, as it completely shattered from the strength of the almighty push.

So powerful that a portion of the moon itself shattered into countless fragments.

Facing the black mass of Chakra, Naruto started to form three handseals in tandem with his Susanoo and ended it with a palm strike that landed on the seemingly intangible ball of fire, the mass that made up Shinju's chakra started to split into many smaller fragments that numbered the tens to hundreds.

All fragments of the Shinju now directed towards the earth.

Rikudo: Tengai Shinsei (3)

The fragments of Shinju were now launched towards it.

Naruto and Kaguya watched as Shinju's fragments headed towards the earth at terrible speeds, the distance between them and the godlike chakra going further until they started their descent towards the Elemental Nations.

They could see the multiple collisions, as the mass of flames spread across the nations...yet nothing was burned. But rather the mass of flames were absorbed by earth itself.

There was no turning back.

The God Tree's power was now the earth's power, nature held absolute control over it. Never would he want to use the power of the God Tree, but he did not regret the decision he made.

It was the best he had.

"What next oh Sage of Six Paths?" Kaguya asked.

Naruto grabbed on to Kaguya's waist, eliciting an uncharacteristic yelp from the woman.

"First we get back down there..." Naruto started

"Then I will fix Hagoromo's mistake."

The Sage channeled his chakra again.

Tendo

Grim Eclipse

Fires erupted across once green fields, and trees were either in flames or burned husks...

It had been scorched earth, earth that had been filled by the remains of dead men. Blood seeped into its ruined soil, and the stench of death filled the air.

There were still countless of men...all armed with knives, swords, firearms and other terrible weapons...most of them bloodied as they fought without mind for themselves or others.

They were fighting each other...killing each other...they were nothing more than vicious beasts, that even beasts themselves would have trouble matching.

Blood curling screams rang out...roars of bloodlust filled the air as the sound of death overwhelmed the ears of those present. There was so much hate in the land, and it seemed never-ending.

Though all of a sudden the bloodshed stopped, as if time itself had grounded to a halt. The Shinobi, and the conscripts of various sides of the war paused as the night sky had for a short moment shifted from the familiar darkness to a deep red hue.

Red mist, akin to steam started to rise up from the scorched earth across the battlefield, across the elemental nations. All heading towards a single target high up in the skies.

Every participant looked up, to see the once pale white moon changing to a vivid crimson. Alongside the deep hue, a rippled pattern with three tomoes in each ripple formed as the mist of red continue to rush towards the moon.

Humanity watched on, almost hypnotised; deep down however, apprehension started to form. So strong that their malice towards each other had been silenced.

The almost surreal incident took a mere few minutes, and in time the red mist seemed to have been completely drained by the moon with it slowly reverting back to its pale-white visage.

Almost as if nothing had happened, as if the planetary scale anomaly had been a figment of their imagination.

Though whatever doubt they held would be very rudely destroyed, as sound akin to hundreds of cracks of thunder taking place simultaneously resounded across the nations. Shinobi, conscripts and civilians alike covered their ears at the sudden ringing noise.

When each and everyone of them regained their bearings, and look towards the anomaly that had been the moon, they would lay witness to an image that would remain etched in their minds.

The moon, fractured into countless pieces.

From the partially destroyed moon, they would also lay witness to a rain of black masses akin to meteors falling towards the earth's surface.

At that very moment, apprehension led to mass panic as the armies of the five nations completely disengaged upon witnessing the beginning of a massive meteor shower. Most braced for the impact by using their chakra in whatever limited defensive capabilities they had, whilst others started to take flight attempting to distance themselves with the likely points of impact of said meteors.

In mere seconds, the meteor-like masses indeed collided with the the surface of the earth. Unlike meteors however, they did not cause widespread destruction nor create massive craters as they crashed. Rather their collision burst the black constructs, spreading a ominous black mist across the lands.

Shinobi and civilians alike shielded their eyes as a smog-like blackness filled their vision as it rushed past them.

Tens of similarly sized meteors crash into the earth, each one of them spreading their own black mist far and wide.

Some of the weaker individuals were blown back by the force of the collision between the semi-tangible constructs and the earth, but most Shinobi had no trouble rooting themselves and soldiering through the brunt of the force.

In a matter of a few minutes, the last of the masses have crashed unto the earth's surface, the mist began clear up as the anomaly came to pass, seeping into the very earth itself.

Shinobi and non-shinobi alike lay witness to the product of the anomaly, bearing witness to individual constructs of varying sizes surrounding them in the hundreds of thousands. Each and every one in a constant state of flux.

Curiosity formed in the minds of those who witnessed these strange constructs, yet the now deep-seated apprehension and foreboding they have felt continued to intensify.

The Shinobi sensors were first to realise what these constructs were, and they were first to have felt terror like no other.

Chakra so filled with anger, and hate...draining the malice around it to fuel their forms

Chakra so thick and oppressive that being in such close contact to one threatened to break their minds.

The hundreds and thousands of constructs started to take a form, with each passing second did their form become much clearer.

The constructs now bore resemblance of beasts, and monsters of various sizes. All of them terrifying to behold that some of the weaker willed men started to tremble.

Adorning the faces of these beasts had been bone-white masks, which were a clear contrast to their pitch black bodies.

Finally, as every single mass took similar monstrous tangible forms, the empty sockets in the masks that represented their eyes lighted up in a pure crimson glow.

Eyes that were soulless, yet holding unrestrained wrath and blood-thirst. No one saw how the eyes bore the familiar rippled pattern they had witnessed on the moon not long ago before vanishing completely.

Bloodcurling howls and roars could be heard across the elemental nations, as each and every monstrous construct let loose against the nearest human in unison.

At that very moment they received a grim reminder.

No longer were humans the predators.
