THE NINJA GEM

The dark clouds let loose the torrents that they had been holding back. The rain cascaded down on the two figures that were at the bottom of the crater; the first figure had black hair that cascaded down his shoulders, he had a thin but wiry build and strapped to the back of his waist was a sword.

"Are you done yet dobe?" he panted out. His body shuddered in exhaustion, but he refused to let it rest. He glanced at his opponent and saw that he too was exhausted.

"Not yet teme!" the other figure retorted. He too was weary but he refused to let himself fall before his opponent did. The second figure had spiky blonde hair and three whisker marks on each cheek.

"Let's settle once and for all teme!" the blonde man roared with frustration.

"Yes lets" the other man replied.

"Good bye, my one and only friend!" they yelled at each other before dashing to each other in a burst of speed.

Lightning sprung to life and encased the dark haired one while a sphere of chakra appeared in the hand of the blonde haired man. As they drew closer each other, the sky darkened and lightning flashed, but no rain fell, all of nature was still and waiting with bated breath watching the clash of the two titans and waiting to see who the victor would be. Two forces clashing; ying verses yang, good versus evil, light versus dark, Naruto versus Sasuke, Rasengan versus Chidori. The two attacks met each other head on and exploded in a bright explosion of colors that shook the ground.

When the light died down the black haired man could be seen standing over the dead body of the blond man.

"I'm sorry that it had to be this way, maybe in another life we could have been better than this. Please forgive me, brother." The black haired man said before fainting.

IN LIMBO

"Why Kurama? Why do they still hate me after all I've done and sacrificed for them?" The blonde man seemingly asked to himself. He had just finished watching his village and supposed friends celebrate his death.

"I don't know kit." The voice boomed from inside his head,

"But listen up I've found a new world that we can go to, a place that has no chakra, no jinchiruki and no ninja. The closest thing that that world has to ninja are people called gems. You will automatically get turn into one of these gems, but there is a downside." Kurama stated.

"What is it Kurama?" the blonde man asked.

"I die" Kurama stated in a blunt tone, "the energy required to do the transformation and keep you and your chakra network intact will drain me and turn me into your gem. But don't worry I still found a way to help you; I will become your shape shifting sentient weapon to help you. Plus you'd be lost without me."

"But how will I be able to access your yokai?" the blonde man asked.

"Simple you can tap into my yokai by using the weapon plus I also managed to give you the rinne-sharingan but it is only in one eye so it and its techniques will be a bit weaker but nothing a lot of hard work can't fix." The fox said.

"Our time is up in this plane kit, so we have to get moving."

THE KINDERGARDEN (21,000 YEARS AFTER NARUTO'S DEATH)

Naruto sat down in the underground maze that had been carved out in order to contain him. He had changed drastically since his death; his hair had grown all the way to his waist, he now stood at 7'2 and now wore a black hooded akatsuki styled cloak with the kanji for Bad Fox written in red on the back, but the biggest change was his eyes or eye; the normal sea blue eyes that once projected warmth and comfort were now dull and devoid of life, his hair covered the other eye.

He had woken up in the maze and had discovered that he was here because he couldn't be reprogrammed by the home world gems, they had tried to clone him but had given up because Kurama had made sure that no stable clones could be made. Naruto had bandaged his right arm in order to hide the crimson gem that was now his hand. Naruto had discovered that the more mastery he had over Kurama's yokai the more the gem would spread. It had now covered his arm which shows that he had completely mastered all nine tails worth of chakra and yokai. he had also been able to master the sharinnegan and was able to use it to the same degree as old man 6 paths, though he had to cover it cause it drained his chakra, but only a little.

He had spent 4000 years each mastering his Nin, Tai, Gen, Ken and Kin jutsus. He had then spent the remaining 500 years mastering his gem powers and the last 500 years combining and mastering both his gem and ninja powers he had also spent the time absorbing the world and gem world knowledge.

Just as he was about to retire for the day he heard a sound that he hadn't heard in a long time; a human voice calling for help and then he felt it; fresh air for the first time.

STEVEN'S P.O.V:

Steven Quartz Universe was having a bad day, first the gems went on a mission without him and when he tried to follow them the warp pad took him to this place and now he was running for his life trying to avoid these strange creatures and calling for help hoping that maybe someone would help him.

Then he had found the strange panel which led him to a maze which he knew that he would get lost in. Just then he heard a roar behind him and knew that this was the end.

"Huh, guess this is the end of me." He said, "and now I'll never see Garnet, Amethyst, dad or Pearl again" Steven then closed his eyes and waited to die.

NARUTO'S P.O.V

Naruto had just stepped out of the maze and was about to revel in his freedom. As he was about to leave he remembered the human that had called out for help, using chakra to run he had found the small boy; the boy was about 5'0 and wore a pink shirt with a yellow star in the center of the shirt and wore blue trousers with sandals, but what caught Naruto's attention was the half gem half human energy that flowed through the boy, well that and the hoard of unstable gem Naruto clones that were hell bent on tearing the small boy in front of them. Thinking quickly Naruto jumped into the air before unsealing a hail of kunais into the crowd below him, careful not to hit the boy. He then landed having gone through a set of hand seals before shouting out

"Lightning style: Electromagnetic murder!" while releasing a burst of white lightning from his hand, the lightning shot up into the sky before multiplying and raining down on the clones since they were attracted to the metal kunais and electrocuted the clones. They were dead before they hit the ground. Naruto then walked over to the boy who now had his eyes wide open in awe, Naruto was about to make up an excuse for what the boy saw but decided against it since the boy was practically a gem, but before he could talk the boy started to ask him questions which Naruto proceeded to ignore and hurriedly told the boy not to tell anyone about him. Naruto was then about to leave because he had sensed three gem lifeforms heading his way at an incredible speed. Thinking quickly he resealed his kunias and then looked at Steven before telling him

"If you ever need help just say my name three times and I will be there. This is to repay the debt of you freeing me"

"Wait what's your name?" the boy asked.

"My name" Naruto said "is Susanoo." And with this Naruto vanished in a gust of wind
