Sword Soul 'thinking'

Demon 'THINKING'

Calling of Swords name "Benihime"


Laying on the ground on his chest, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze stared in front of him at Madara Uchia in rage. The Uchia had succeeded in capturing him and Killer Bee and had extracted their demons. Bee had died during the process, but like his mother before him, Naruto had survived.

"You're alive. Good. Now you can watch as I seal the Jubi into myself." Madara said, smirking evily at Naruto as he stepped into the center of the large, complex seal on the ground.

'No. I have to move. I have to stop him.' Naruto thought desperately as he began the painstaking process of forcing himself onto his hands and knees, before then pushing himself to his feet unsteadily.

Moving slowly, Naruto began limping towards Madara from behind thinking, 'I have to stop him. I cant let Madara win.', as he made his way into the seal as it began to glow.

Running his hands through the last of the seals for the sealing jutsu, Madara laughed, "And now to seal the Jubi into myself!" "Not happening teme!" Screamed Naruto as he entered the seals center and shoved Madara out of it as the Uchia's Space-Time Jutsu was being cancelled by the floor seal.

"You fool! The sealing will only kill you!" Madara shouted in rage.

"I know. But it will also combine with my old seal, tying the Jubi to my soul even in death. You will never have the Ten Tails." Naruto said in a resined voice as the seal activated in a blinding flash of white light.

It was only then that Madara realived that he has still partially inside of the seal. "NOOO!" He screamed as the cave that they were in became a white void before it exploded in a deafening explosion before the cave was filled with a sudden, errie silence.

About four hours later, Naruto awakened to his body feeling numb and heavy.

"Naruto!" A familiar female voice screamed.

Sitting up, Naruto watched as Tsunade, Kakashi, Sai, and the entire rooking nine plus Gai's team ran into the cave towards him.

"Sakura-chan! Your alright!" Naruto shouted in joy when someone jumped forward and hugged him suddenly. Looking down, Naruto stared at Hinata in confusion.

"Hinata-chan? What's wrong?" He asked, feeling as Hinata stiffened suddenly.

Pulling away slowly, Hinata stared at Naruto with her bloodline activated. "Naruto-kun? What happen to you? Your chakra pathways are overloading." She asked, her eyes tearing up as everyone froze in shoch. They all knew what mass chakra overload can do to someone.

Naruto stared at Hinata and the others in confusion, wondering what they all meant by chakra overload and why they were all so worried.

'IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE CHILD.' Naruto froze as he heard the demonic voice inside his head.

'Kyubi?' Thought Naruto, confusion evident even on his face.

'NO CHILD. I AM NOT THE KYUBI. I AM THE JUBI.'The Jubi said to Naruto, its demonic voice sounding almost amused.

'What do you mean that I am going to die?' Naruto asked the ten-tailed demon mentally.

'WHEN YOU JUMED INTO THE SEAL AND SEALED ME INTO YOURSELF, YOUR BODY COULD NOT HANDLE ALL OF MY CHAKRA.' The Jubi spoke calmly to Naruto through their mental link.

Looking up at his friends, Naruto realized that they knew that he was going to die, they just did not know why. Looking at each of his friends individually, Naruto smiled. "At least I was able to protect the lives of my precious people.' He thought happily.

Looking Naruto in the face, Hinata frowned in confusion when she saw Narutos sad smile as he looked at each of them before stopping on her.

"You know." She said as he looked at her, feeling her eyes tear up as he simply nodded.

"Dont cry Hinata-chan. I'm upset about dying, but happy that you are all still alive. Besides. Maybe now I can be with my mom dad." Naruto said, his words causing everyones eyes to widen.

"Naruto? I thought that you didn't know who your parents were?" Sakura asked while Tsunade looked torn over something.

"I didn't. But when the Kyubi took control while I was fighting Pain, I met my dad. And while I was training to learn to control the Kyubi's chakra, I met my mom." Naruto said smiling before he suddenly began coughing painfully, pulling his hand away from his mouth only to find it covered in blood.

Looking back up at his friends, Naruto frowned when he saw that the all looked shocked and scared. Looking around at each of his friends, Naruto froze when his gaze passed over an unfamiliar face amongst them. The man was extremely old, his age reminding Naruto greatly of the Third Hokage Sarutobi. He was dressed in a black shihaksho and had both hands resting on a long cane like staff.

"So you can see my young man. Then I shall introduce myself. My name in Yamamoto Guenryuusai Shigekuni." Yamamoto said, power and authority resenating in his voice.

"Why are you here?" Naruto asked, his question drawing confuesed looks from his friends.

"Naruto? Who are you talking too?" Sakura asked, inwardly panicing at the thought that Naruto might be losing his mind as well as dying.

"What do you mean Sakura-chan? I'm talking to the old man standing next to you." Naruto said, pointing his finger at Yamamoto.

The others looked at where Naruto was pointing, there eyes widening as they saw Yamamoto. Jumping back while they all drew kunai, the surrounding ninja watched cautiously as Yamamoto turned and looked at them in curiousity.

"So you can all see me. That is quite different from most humans." Yamamoto said before turning to look back at Naruto.

"Why are you here?" Naruto repeated, wishing that he could move away from Yamamoto like his friends had.

"I am a shinigami. I am here to take you to Soul Society, or what you call heaven." Yamamoto responded, lifting his wooden staff and dissolving it to reveal a sheathed katana.

Everyone froze as they registered in there minds what Yamamoto had just said.

"But he's not dead yet! Look! He's still breathing!" Sakura screamed at Yamamoto angrily.

"He is. But if I take him now, his death will be a painless one, if not, he will die a slow painful death in a weeks time." Yamamoto said, his words making everyones eyes widen in shock and dismay.

Staring at Yamamoto, Naruto turned to look at his friends before speaking, "Guys. It's okay. I'll go with him", watching as his friends spun to stare at him in shock.

"Naruto-kun. No. Please don't go." Hinata begged in a whisper as she grabbed hold of his left hand into her hands.

Looking up at Hinata, Naruto whispered sadly, "Thank you for telling me that you love me back then Hinata. Live without me. Get married. Have children. But know this. I love you. And I'll be waiting.", before he turned to look at his other friends and giving them all a warm but sad smile.

"Thankyou. Thankyou for becoming the family that I never had but always wanted." He said before then turning his head to stare at Yamamoto.

"Lets get this over with." He said, watching as Yamamoto lifter his katana to show a flaming skull on the bottom of the sheath.

There was a thump to his forehead where Naruto then felt like something was pushing him before he found himself staring down at his own body. Feeling something tug at his chest, Naruto looked down to see a long chain protruding from his chest before connection to his body.

"That is your chain of fate. It is what connects your soul to your body." Yamamoto said as he stepped forward while drawing his sword.

Cutting the chain as if it were simply made of paper, Naruto stumbled as a heavy feeling suddenly enveloped his entire body. As suddenly as it came, the feeling vanished leaving Naruto slightly breathless.

"Now what?" Naruto asked, looking at Yamamoto curiously.

"Now we go to Soul Society." Yamamoto stated as he lifted his sword and tapped Naruto in the center of the forehead with the bottom of his swords handle, watching as Naruto dissapeard in a blue light.

Opening a Senkaimon, Yamamoto turned to looked at Narutos friends before speaking, "It is done. The boy is in Soul Society.", before then walking through the Senkaimon and vanishing.
