Betrayal that was what Naruto was feeling right now, though the mind numbing pain was a close second. The 4th shinobi war was over, Obito or Tobi was dead. Madara was finally defeated by yours truly.

However everything came with a price I'm the last of the nine. Bee or Killer Bee gave his life defeating Kabuto while the four kages rested, I heard there is a new crater lake in the countryside now.

Madara after owning the four kages and decimating the combined shinobi army using the reformed ten-tails Jubi or as I like to call it large ass lizard of doom, seeing as it look like a dragon revved up on old Hebi-teme and Kabuto cursed hickey.

How he got the last two tail beasts wasn't a very happy story at least for me. After Killer Bee death Sasuke-teme made his grand entrance pushing back (slaughtering) everyone that got in his way, giving Madara time to capture the weakened eight-tails and sealing it into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path then using Obito warping jutsu to transport him, Obito, and Sasuke to my location at the relief camp starting the beginning of the end.

After a long or short battle Obito lay dead, Sasuke became an cyclops, and Madara was mostly unharmed but was down to half his chakra. With two of them it took nine days to rip Kurama from my gut and he went kicking and screaming the whole way.

With all nine Demonic Statue of the Outer Path the reformed the Jubi once more with Sasuke set to become the new body of the Jubi and Madara to be the new jinchuriki. Now I know what about dear old Naruto well I laid half dead from the extraction wanting to crawl into a hole waiting for the pain to end. Not! No the pain was their but we Uzumaki's are a stubborn bunch and don't just roll over.

Seeing I couldn't move I figure what the hell then starting drawing in all the natural energy I could. Entering Sage mode instantly I felt my body heal and grow stronger but I didn't stop there and pulling more and more nature chakra till it felt like I was going to explode.

Without Kurama inside me it felt like a large hole was there and the natural energy of the world was filling that hole to the brim. My eyes unlike in Toad Sage mode stayed blue but seem to glow in ethereal blue where my pupil was and strange blue symbols appeared all over my body that also glow blue. (Fable 1 game if you max out magic and are light)

All over my body seemed to glow and burst with strange power that was like chakra but seem like magic somehow. (hint hint) Using my new power I rush to stop the last two Uchiha's once and for all.

The fight if you could call it a fight became an battle where jutsu'swere worthless, my body seem to glow an blue aura (Fable 1 Physical Shield) when ever either tried or an simple push (F1 Force Push) would redirect it at them or off course.

The Jubi without a body went on a rampage killing and cause wide spread destruction where ever it went. Duck-but was the first to go down when the teme tried to use the black flames from his eye but a large force push and he was devoured by his own attack, he went crying for his brother he killed if that doesn't make you a emo I don't know what will.

Madara wasn't too happy (pissed) by the lost of the Jubi new body and pulled a Naruto, meaning he did something stupid that I probably would have done and seal the Jubi chakra (youki) into himself without giving the Jubi a body first.

Now common misconception the tail-beast chakra isn't poison to normal people or non-jinchuriki like most people think, yes it can act like poison in the body but it's not poisonous.

It is however corrosive and is more like acid burning and spreading like poison through the body. Now without a body or mind to filter the youki Madara body was turning to ash right before my eyes, I even had the whole open mouth gaping going on with the what just happen look.

You see without Sasuke taking over to be the Jubi and becoming the new Jubi's mind and body the Jubi is just a mass of power running on instinct. I guess Madara didn't get the memo, after that the clones Zetsu army seem to turn to ash with him and the war was over.

Which brings us or rather me to my current anarchy of being stab, slashed, cut, burned, shocked, crushed, and last but not least thrown to my doom off the very cliff that Jiraiya threw me off to summon Gamabunta the chief toad using Kurama chakra the first time.

As I fell I futility reach with my only remaining arm and look with my lone eye at the one's that did it, my so called friends all caring bloody hands and weapons as the seven of them watch me fall into darkness. With one thought on my mind "I don't want to die."

I don't know how long I lay their battered and broken on the preverbal edge of life and death both figuratively and physically as I lay on the rocky bottom.

The only thought that keeps me going was to get our revenge on my traitorous friends through as the light slowly leaves my eyes I hear in voice in my head.

Though voice isn't quite right it's more like something calling out to me, urging me to go, to move, to keep moving forward. Using my chin and what was left of my right arm to plop myself over very slowing crawl using my left arm but mostly my chin seeing how my arm was cut and broken in multiple places as well as with a gaping hole in my stomach but if I Naruto Uzumaki was called anything it was determined though you could also call it stubborn.

I couldn't distinguish how long I crawled I was dizzy, hungry, though how I could be hungry missing my spleen and stomach, but boy could I go for some ramen right about now. No, no keep going don't stop that river isn't of ramen no matter how cool that would be.

Stop wait no stop thinking about it stupid hallucinations, stupid rocks, and most of all stupid fairy, wait fairy, fairies don't exist, wait one just dropped guess I should clap my hands but kind of hard with only one.

Wait their more and they all look dead, their no way that my fault I totally didn't do it…I think...ok maybe I may have but no use in crying tears of blood now. Huh…crap more blood lost not I have much left to lose, and to make matters worse I'm hallucinating again because the fairy in the middle is glowing and why in the nine hells does it smell like ramen that is so wrong on so many levels I don't know where to start.

My damn black-hole of a stomach for ramen would be grumbling if I still had one and not a gaping hole in my chest instead of one. As I lay there a strange thought entered my mind I should eat the glowing fairy. I'm hungry, it's dead, it smells like ramen, I'm going to die anyways, it smells like ramen…ok I eating it.

Using the last of my strength in my left arm I reach and grab hold of the strange glowing fairy and began devouring it. Then it comes pain, but not just any pain a burning pain I remember all too well of my body regenerating. It hurts so much I start to scream out but nothing come out the pains too much and darkness envelops me, Naruto Uzumaki is no more.

As Naruto passes out his body glows a deep blue, then as his heart slow to a stop the blue begins to fade. Then as if time stops Naruto's body twitches, followed by a spasm and thrashing as his right arm and left leg re-grew, and his organs reform then shift as muscles grow and change becoming smaller and denser rapidly. As if nature itself is calling to him grass began to grow all around and underneath him forming an earth mattress for him.

Naruto's body continues to change as the light returns only as a bluish purple then seem to flash like a heartbeat. As the process reaches its climax as Naruto's body fully heals the light shifts from bluish purple to an deep purple that seems to radiate strange power that seems both natural and yet unnatural at the same time.

As the light commences to fade Naruto's body began to de-age as if the process drained his power resulting in him going from seventeen almost eighteen years old to seven to eight years old in less than a few minutes.

As the light utterly fades away Naruto's body metamorphoses is widespread and the change is easily noticeable. His once golden sun-kissed blond hair is now a silver white as if the full moon above rays bleached it.

His once thick muscles now slick, limber, and tight like a spring, compressed waiting to burst. Were there was once deep ocean blue eyes now a deep crimson. His whisker facial marks now were gone with a large scar over his left eye going down his face with his appearance taking a more angular features and feminine structure.

Tan skin now pale and his once normal ears now long and pointed. With long his long silver white hair and feminine facial features most would now easily mistake him for a female then male. (Koinzell appearance from Ubel Blatt)

With the change done normal time seem to return as the grass dies and the ground starts shifting causing Naruto to roll into the fast flowing river flowing were the current takes him. Though just before Naruto hits the water, a small almost unheard heartbeat is heard as his heart start once again.

And the story of Naruto Uzumaki ends, however death is only the beginning, for with his death comes his rebirth and a new story begins.
