YO Necro is here so lend me your ear. I'm back to fool around with this story and all my loyal readers who have asked me to continue my naughty little piece of literature. So without further delay I give to you champion of the Gods re-written
The battle field seemed to disintegrate from the sheer power that was being thrown by the Two Titanic Chakra empowered Teenage Warriors. Their power seemed to redesign the landscape itself, while stirring a storm of mass proportions that engulfed the skies of the Elemental Nations.
The first warrior looked no older than seventeen, His hair as dark as the pits of hell while seemingly impersonating a duck's ass, his mismatched eyes the left reminiscent of a symbol for bio-hazard and the right a solid purple with ripples emanating from his pupil. His clothing consisted of a long dark cloak with red nimbus clouds that seemed to have been scattered in a completely random pattern along with black anbu styled clothing. His name was Sasuke Uchiha the (finally) last of the Uchiha clan.
His opponent was a spiky haired blonde youth of about equal age. He wore a dark orange trench coat with black flames that ended at his knees and parted down the middle revealing a white flannel shirt and black cargo style anbu pants. Although the thing that stuck out the most about the young man had to be his sapphire colored eyes that too had a ripple pattern surrounding his pupil, his eyes so blazingly bright that, they themselves could light up even the darkest of places. His name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze
The sight was one that could put any and all who watched this fight between the two warriors in complete awe. Claiming that these two have moved far beyond any of their peers expectations, a single swipe from either of their swords decimating entire forests.
"Sasuke we don't have to continue we can finally stop the war is over Madara is dead, you even helped me kill him we can finally stop so please!" Naruto yelled over the crash of their clashing swords; Naruto's a black Kihira Zukuri styled daito with an eight sided shuriken pommel.
"I'm sorry Naruto we both know I wouldn't be welcomed back even with the death of Madara we both know my crimes are too great for them to allow me to continue to live." Sasuke told his blonde friend. Sasuke held his sword Chokuto against Naruto's daito both battling for supremacy.
"Sasuke this is where I disagree!" Naruto yelled momentarily stunning Sasuke in his place, he kicked his friend in the chest catching him unawares and making him fly back several yards from the force behind his attack.
Sasuke didn't give him a moment of rest and in less than a second he was once again upon Naruto the chakra running through their blades seemed to reject each other as they were thrown apart by a blast of energy sending them careening back several dozen meters.
"Sasuke you've called me a dope, you've called me dead last, but in these final moments please think of me as your brother one last time because this is where we permanently go our separate ways." Naruto said as he crawled to his feet a large gash across the side of his face.
"Naruto you have always been my brother fighting for me time and time again tooth and nail to bring me back no matter what I did. You are and always will be my brother." Sasuke said a deep cut on his left arm bleeding heavily and a slight smile on his face.
"Sasuke you need to hold onto what ever you're feeling right now. That feeling of happiness and pride" Naruto paused taking a breath as he looked down, only for his chakra to suddenly spike dramatically "because if you don't, you'll die." Naruto finished vanishing in a flash of a gold and crimson colored light.
The next thing Sasuke knew was extreme pain as he was sent careening back from a single punch to his abdomen. Twisting to land on his feet only to see Naruto appear in front of him and send a roundhouse to his side hard enough to cause a hole in the ground, but not enough to kill someone like Sasuke.
"Uzumaki style: dimensional shift" the voice rang out through the clearing seemingly canceling out all other noise allowing an eerie feeling to stretch for miles around.
Slowly pulling himself out of his little crater Sasuke looked upon his former teammate in awe at what he saw. Behind Naruto was an ostensibly dark void that drew in the surrounding light giving it a contrasting cold feeling to Naruto's warm friendly smile he now held on his face, eye's closed?
"Sasuke I've found away to save you, like I said I would from day one." Naruto said motioning to the void behind him a flash of pain quickly flying across his face only to be hidden by his smile.
"Naruto what exactly have you summoned?" Sasuke asked with fear and pride. Fear from the astonishing power of the man in front of him, pride that this man was his brother in all but blood.
"This is a key to find your way home a place where none of this ever happened no massacre no war nothing a fresh start. Go join your clan teach your younger self find the girl you loved. Start over." Naruto said a genuine smile on his face. "I don't think I fully understand?" Sasuke said slowly walking up to the portal.
"In this world most of the pain caused was from a form of my existence that I don't think I can fully explain something with me being 'the child of destiny' well how do you fix something caused before the birth of said child?" Naruto asked a smile on his face.
Sasuke let that set in his mind for a few minutes as he thought this over wondering what exactly Naruto was talking about, and then it dawned on him.
"That right Sasuke the only way to fix it was to get rid of it so I found a place where I never existed Sasuke I mean I do have a counter part there but the prophecy was never made the jinchuriki looked at with a smile as angels to all Madara never lifted a finger as he and the first hokage ruled side by side the Uzumaki never died out but my mother still married my father so I still exist just not how I was." Naruto said before his face let the pain completely escape the mask of happiness it had held.
"Naruto what the hell are you saying!" Sasuke demanded looking at the blonde. Hoping upon hope Naruto wasn't saying what he thought he was saying.
"Where I'm saying is that there I do not exist." The blonde said through gritted teeth before he fell to his knees. Sasuke quickly rushing over to make sure his friend was okay.
"Sasuke you can't stay here, if you go back you die, but you go there you live the price of this jutsu is my life created more as an escape route for my clan my mother was just left behind unfortunately." The blonde said finally opening his eye revealing pained ocean blue eyes.
"Naruto what are you sayin-" Naruto never gave him the chance to finish as he quickly leapt to his feet and kicked Sasuke in to the void that was starting to close. "Good luck my brother." Naruto whispered only to barely be heard by his long time rival.
For what seemed like an indefinite he lied there feeling his life draining away hoping for only the best of his friend. Naruto had finally accepted his death Sasuke was free; Sakura no longer had any need for him as she now had Lee. He knew Kiba and Ino would soon be getting married 16 or not they were still ninja and if the war said anything their lives could disappear at any moment. Neji and Tenten were expecting a child in three months, and Shikamaru and Temari. Garra was now happily married to Matsuri with out the fear of Shikaku. It seemed like everything was slowly starting look to a brighter future.
It was hard to think of the other rookies that he had known that died in the war. Looking down at his hand he saw what was to be his wedding band still on his finger tears sliding down his face as he remembered losing the love of his life. Taking a slow and shallow breath he began to relax looking forward to finally seeing her once again.
To Bad...
It seemed like the gods weren't going to allow him that peace as he suddenly found himself lying down on a golden marbled color floor several ancient beings looking down upon him with interest.
"Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." A loud voice boomed across the large chamber drawing his attention to a beautiful female with long platinum colored hair and gold eyes clad in a white formal kimono with sakura petals dancing along the bottom trim of the dress.
"Allow me to formally welcome you to my court young Uzumaki, as you now stand in the court of the gods." She said drawing his eyes to hers an amused smirk played on to her lips. "So am I to believe you are Kami?" the young man asked getting only a nod in response.
Looking around he saw other gods in various attire from battle armor to more formal kimonos, but it was one that stood out to him the most.
"And I'm also to guess your Shinigami?" the young Uzumaki asked the large demon looking god with horns and a long blond mane adorned in a completely white kimono the hilt of a ninjato poking out of his sleeve, again getting only a nod in response to his question.
"I see." The young man simply stated before sitting in an upright position. "May I ask what the gods want from me now?" the blonde spoke causing some gods to some what flinch as his voice held years of turmoil and sadness. The tone was one of a broken warrior with nothing left to truly fight for.
"Naruto." The Shinigami spoke gaining the boys attention. "You are s champion of the gods, surpassing any human to have ever existed in the past and future. You have overcome immense obstacles to ever block your path and now As you look upon us we ask you, Naruto, our champion will you accept the next mission we need your assistance with?" The dark voive of the Shinigami asked, his voice emanating from no, one, specific spot.
"And what would the gods NEED my assistance for pray tell I ask." Naruto said letting his formal training as the Hokage take over.
"Naruto as you see us now we will not always be, for we will be leaving my grandson to take over this realm as the rest of us need to continue on, we maybe gods but even gods can't work like that and me being the only god that can sire a child will leave the young one to watch over this realm." The Shinigami spoke the gods all saying something in one form or another to concur what death himself had told the blonde mortal.
"I see, still what does that have to do with me?" Naruto asked already seeing where this is going. "We for see times of great danger that he can not interfere, we need you our champion our own god among men to aid the future in the fight of good vs. evil." Kami said this time pride seeming to leek out as she stared at the blonde a gaze that filled him with warmth, that of which he believed to be the love of a mother to her child.
"I see then I make one request." The blonde spoke as he climbed to his feet. Turning he stared at the Shinigami. "I wish to see her one last time please?" the young man pleaded to the god more than he requested.
"I see." That was all the god had said before his eyes flashed a type of silver behind his mask.
In front of Naruto a misty column spiraled up only to slowly forming a silhouette of a human body. It wasn't long before the mist dispersed. In its place stood a young woman no older than Naruto himself she had long flowing raven like hair and pale lavender colored eyes and a kimono that matched her beauty.
Quickly from the sight of the beauty before him, young man finally broke completely. Tears welled up in his eye's and slipped down his face. His knees gave out from under him no longer having the strength to carry his weight and hold up his burdens.
"H-hinata." He said through the tears as he reached out his hand to gently grab hers. The contact alone allowed another wave of sobs to come from the blonde warrior, the young woman went to her knees and tightly hugged him to herself.
"Naruto." She cooed in his ear over and over again. Slowly pulling himself back together he looked at her a smile on his face. "I've missed you love." He said brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"I have missed you to Naruto, but I need you to let me go please your only hurting my memory if you don't." she said with a smile as she kissed him on the lips surprising him before he returned the kiss only to then break it.
"Hinata I don't think I can." He said tears again threatening to spill from his sapphire colored eyes. "Naruto please I want you to be happy remember I will always be here waiting for you for eternity if I have to, but I want you to be happy find someone be with them allow them to brighten your life as you have mine." She said a tear sliding down her own cheek.
As they continued to hold each other each crying silently for the other the gods watched with interest. "Surely sister there must be something we can do?" the god of death asked quietly looking at his younger sister also known as Kami.
"Your right it would seem to be best if we were not to separate these two, they are each other's anchor." She said in response to her brother's question. As he looked down at the two he quickly looked at her and laughed. "Good because I never liked that whole star crossed lovers thing." He said getting a laugh from several of the other gods.
"So is it agreed we help these two?" Kami asked the other gods getting a nod from all the others including her twin sister Yami who looked like an inverse version of Kami herself.
"Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze we have deemed that we will help you and the one you love by allowing you two to stand side by side as we send you to run your course for your mission." Kami announced, creating a newly formed fire in the two young warrior's eyes.
"But there is a draw back due to the young Hinata Hyuga being in all sense of the word dead we can not completely bring her back even that is impossible for us gods." Shinigami said making the two before him quickly become depressed once again.
"So instead we will give you a unique chance we will offer the young Hyūga a chance at reincarnation. She may not look the same or feel the same but your souls will find each other again. Two Souls so perfectly made for each other can't stand being with another." The god said making the two to again switch from despair and helplessness to a slight hopefulness.
The gods could only sweat drop as a collective thought ran through all their heads 'did we make them bipolar?'
"This is your only chance so take it or leave it." The Shinigami stated looking at the two a new fire burning brightly in their eyes.
"Aye, Shinigami-sama I will take this one chance to be with my Husband once again." Hinata stated her voice brimming with the will of fire she was raised into believing. With a nod all the Gods turned they're heads towards Naruto eager to receive his answer.
"Then Shinigami what ever it may be I will except your request and take on this mission, but if it is far into the future as you have said then I guess I will be going into so sort stasis like sleep or will I be reborn as well?" the blonde asked revealing his intelligence.
"That is correct we will be putting you asleep in the spot where all the events are centered around. You will be in the realm of limbo, resting in a deep slumber awaiting for the day to arrive and for your to awakening." Yami spoke for the first time having always enjoyed watching over the young man, she would now get to watch him in his dream like state even from a distance darkness and dreams were her territory and if one were to sleep for that long, this allowed her someone to actually talk to rather than watch for a brief period.
"Then let's do this." Naruto said as he stood up. Taking one last look at his love and with a nod he looked at the gods and giving them the nod she gave him. The next thing he new was darkness.
May he bring the world from the darkness once again and show it the light that is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze.
