Naruto Kiryoku
Ch1
Naruto vs. Pein
"Well Naruto it's been fun, but time for us to finish this up, the other akatsuki are becoming impatient." said Pein.
Naruto was in terrible pain from the fight. Even with his new sage powers Pein was still a big challenge. He looked at the other akatsuki members blocking Sakura, Kakashi, Yamato, and Sai from interfering in the fight. He only hoped that they would be ok until he was able to help them after he defeats Pein.
"This isn't over Pein. Ill never give up, especially to you." Naruto said
Pein just looked down at the ground, then back up at Naruto, he tried during the whole fight not to use too much power so he didn't kill him, but it looked like he would have to take his power up a notch in order to win.
"If that's how you feel. This would have been a lot easier if you just cooperated." replied Pein.
Pein took a stance, and just stood there, and soon after the same dark pigments around Naruto's eyes appeared on Peins eyes as well.
"He can use sage techniques to?" Naruto thought to himself
He then made a sequence of hand signs so fast even Kakashi couldn't read them with his sharingan eye. Sakura started worrying about Naruto more than usual. She always knew Naruto pushed himself more than anyone, but she thought this could actually kill him even if he did win.
"Naruto you know how to win. We all know you have the power to beat him within you. So just use it, and win already." said Madara.
"What does he mean?" Naruto thought.
He started thinking about it for a minute.
"What could it be? I have the power within myself….The Kyuubi." Naruto thought.
He knew what Madara said was true, if he used its power it would be a lot easier to defeat Pein.
"No. Ill beat him on my own." Naruto said to himself.
"Alright then if you won't show your true power then Ill make you. Pein force him to use the Kyuubi. Do whatever it takes." ordered Madara.
Pein nodded to Madara then summoned one of his other bodies, and used it to perform a summoning technique to bring a stone golem from the ground. The golem grabbed Naruto arms from behind his back, and picked him off the ground so Naruto wouldn't be able to fight back. Pein was just standing in the same position as if he were waiting for something to happen. Everyone around him except for the other akatsuki members were trying to figure out what was going on, then all the sudden it started raining. Everyone was confused about the sudden weather change.
"Yamato was it suppose to rain today" asked Sakura.
"Not that I'm aware of, it's the middle of the summer, but it is possible." Yamato replied.
"No, this is one of Pein's strongest jutsus. No matter how hard anyone tries they can't escape it." said Madara.
The rain started pouring down slowly all around the field. It didn't seem like much at first, but it started to pour faster, and harder as time went by.
"Rain Needle Jutsu" Pein said.
He then pointed at Naruto, and the rain started to charge at Naruto, and hit him like one thousand needles. Pein made the needles stop, so Naruto could recover for a minute, after all he didn't want to kill him. Naruto was one of the main requirements for his final plan. He saw that Naruto was still weak, and needed to recover quicker, so he released the stone golem, and Naruto was free. Naruto fell to the ground when released, it took him a minute to get back up, but he took a stance, and got back into his sage form just like Pein. When he took sage form he was able to recover quicker, he was still in some pain, and not fully recovered, but he was able to fight. The rain continued at the same rate, and Pein sent another assault of rain needles at Naruto. Everyone could see he was in agony from the fight. Naruto tried to avoid the needles, but as Madara said before it was impossible to avoid, he accepted that he could get away from the rain needles, so he decided to fight back. After begin hit by another assault of rain needles, he used his most famous jutsu.
"Shadow clone jutsu." said Naruto.
Naruto made three more clones of himself, and began to use his Rasenshuriken. One of Narutos clones stepped in between him, his other clones, and Pein, while the other three made the rasengan in Narutos hand. Pein just stood there in the same spot as if it were nothing to him, Naruto finished the Rasenshuriken and was ready to launch it at Pein. He released his other clone so he would have full power. Pein was still just standing there waiting for Naruto to attack. Naruto ran up to Pein then just stopped in his tracks; everyone was confused for a minute wondering why he stopped. Naruto then threw the rasengan at Pein. Pein saw the rasengan coming, but didn't move out of the way, he wanted to fight Naruto at his best, and he knew this was one of his best jutsus.
"So this is the jutsu that killed Kakazu." Pein thought to himself.
Pein still wait to be hit he wanted to see how powerful of a jutsu Naruto could create, and in no time he got his wish, the rasengan hit Pein directly. A good bit of dust rose from the ground, and no one could see Pein or anything for that matter.
"You did it Naruto." yelled Sakura.
"Don't be so sure, Pein has the power of a god. He's never lost a fight, and can't be killed. He only wanted to see how powerful the jutsu was." Konan said to Sakura.
"How would you know that? Naruto used that same attack on another akatsuki member, and it killed him, and we just saw Narutos rasengan destroy Pein." replied Sakura.
"Look up at the battle field." Konan said.
The dust dissipated, and Pein was still in the same position he was before.
"There's no way. That's Narutos best attack, and he only has a few scratches on him, and his cloak was ripped up." Sakura said.
"I told you Pein has the power of a god. He only wanted to feel to full strength of Naruto's attack, its something he does in every fight, he wants to be attacked with their full power; otherwise he feels it was a wasted fight. He is the strongest ninja in the world, after all his ancestors created the ninja world." replied Konan.
"What do you mean created the ninja world?" asked Sakura.
"Peins ancestors shaped the world as we see it. Every jutsu, attack, stance, blood limit originated from his family. Pein is the only ninja in the world that can master every jutsu. That is why no one can win against him." Konan replied.
Naruto was exhausted from that last attack, he didn't know if he could keep fighting, but he knew he had to. Pein just stood there still; he whipped some dirt off his shoulder, then took his akatsuki cloak off, then his fishnet shirt off as well. Everyone saw he had several scars from many fight before this one, as well as many more piercings. He had an X shaped scar on the left side of his torso, three slash marks across his stomach that some people assumed he got from Hidan's scythe, many down his arms, and back, he also had his nipples, collar bone, hips, the middle of the X scar, ten along his arms, the back of his neck three times, seven down his back going over top his spine, and his navel three times all pierced.
"Is this guy that crazy? Why would anyone want that much metal in their body? That has to hurt." Naruto thought to himself.
"I guess Ill end this now. You were one of the stronger opponents I've fought, even Jiraiya didn't put up this good of a fight, so I give you my respect, but I will use an attack you're very familiar with to defeat you." said Pein to Naruto.
Pein opened his right hand to the side of his waist, and started to focus his chakra into it. Naruto looked at it and saw chakra swirling in the palm of his hand.
"Pein also knows how to use the rasengan?!" Naruto thought to himself.
"This is bad." said Kakashi.
"How so?" asked Sai.
"He's going to use the rasengan on Naruto. He's too weak to take an attack like that from an opponent that strong, and in sage form to, that just makes this ten times worse." Kakashi replied.
Naruto decided to make this an even fight.
"Shadow clone jutsu." said Naruto.
Naruto made another clone of himself to make his own rasengan to match Pein's. Naruto and his clone started swirling the same kind of chakra in his hand. Pein saw this, and was interested in what would happen when the two rasengans collided.
"Impressive Naruto, but my rasengan is much different from yours." said Pein.
Pein focused more chakra in the rasengan he had. Naruto looked down at Peins rasengan, and saw it changed from a sphere to a ring of wind chakra. He kept his eyes on Pein's hand, and saw what looked like water chakra forming his hand with the wind, and then the water chakra turned into a ring, and swirled with the wind. Confused, Naruto was trying to focus his energy on his rasengan while trying to find out what was different about their attacks. It looked like earth element was forming with the other to, and then formed that into a ring. The three elements were swirling faster as a new one was added. Naruto made his rasengan bigger than before, and Pein just made a ring of lightning to go with the other three elements.
"This really was a battle worth watching. My most powerful ninja vs. Konohas strongest. The only thing that would make it better is if that damn kid would use the Kyuubi. Oh well soon I will be more powerful than any ninja who ever lived." Madara thought to himself
Both Naruto and Pein were still concentrating on their rasengans, Pein was finishing turning the fire sphere into a ring with the other elements, and Naruto was filling his up with as much chakra as he could. The ring on fire chakra was formed; Naruto saw that Peins rasengan was finally complete.
"So you can use all five chakra elements. I always thought that was impossible for one person to do, but you put them all into a rasengan. Ill admit it's very impressive, but your rasengan is finished by putting all five elements into it, but since you have all five elements in it you can't focus on each element enough to make them stronger like mine. " Naruto said.
"Who said it was finished?" asked Pein.
Kakashi got a deathly look in his eyes when he heard Pein say that.
"Are you alright Kakashi?" asked Yamato.
"No this can't be. NARUTO GET OUT OF THERE!!!" Kakashi said.
Naruto looked over at Kakshi, and saw the fear in his eyes.
"NARUTO RUN, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE THIS ATTACK" Kakashi yelled.
"There is one way you will survive Naruto." said Madara.
Naruto knew what Madara wanted, but wouldn't give in to it. He then looked at Pein and saw he was still focusing on his rasengan. Naruto was almost finished with his, when he saw another sphere appear in Peins hand. He never seen chakra like this it was white, and glowed very bright. Naruto couldn't look away from the chakra as if formed into a ring, and swirled with the other elements.
"Kakashi sense what kind of chakra is that?" asked Sakura.
"Its spirit chakra. The rarest of all chakra forms, and the most powerful of all the chakra elements. Only a handful of people have ever mastered it before, and most died trying"
"What does that mean?" asked Sai.
"It means Madara is right. Naruto has to use the Kyuubi to even survive this next attack." replied Kakashi.
Naruto could see the power Pein's rasengan was giving off, his own was strong, but it was nowhere near the power compassity of Pein's.
"Naruto, you have to use the Kyuubi. It's the only for you to win." said Kakashi.
"What?" said Naruto.
"Its ok, if it gets out of hand Yamato will take over." said Kakashi.
'Should I. If I do I might end up hurting people I care about, but if I don't they might die, I will die as well, and akatsuki will win. What do I do?' Naruto thought to himself.
Naruto looked over at Sai, Yamato, and Kakashi he saw they were all restrained by Madara, the he looked at Sakura, and saw Konan had her occupied as well, then thought about what Sasuke had become, all because he couldn't bring him back to the village.
"I've lost Sasuke, I won't lose anyone else." Naruto thought
He now knew what needed to be done.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hahaha, so you've come back to me for power. I knew you would." said the Kyuubi.
"Cut the bullshit. You know I need your power, and I need more than I've ever had before." Naruto said
"I'll lend you enough, but I get to be in control as well." Kyuubi said
"NO!" shouted Naruto.
"Then you don't get any chakra, and you'll fail yet again." Kyuubi said.
"That's why you're going to give me enough chakra to go up to eight tails, and keep me in full control." Naruto said.
"And why would I do that?" Kyuubi asked.
"Because you forget I control my body when I don't use your chakra, and if you don't give me any Ill shut my rasengan off, and throw myself into Pein's rasengan. Then we both die." Naruto said
"You're bluffing." Kyuubi said.
"What makes you say that?" asked Naruto.
"Because you wont let anyone get hurt, and if you die there's no way to be sure that they'll live." Kyuubi said.
"True, but your forgetting something else." Naruto say with a sinister laugh.
"And what would that be?" Kyuubi asked.
"If we both die then akatsuki's plan will fail. You wont exist and the world will be safe. And I can see to it that it happens." Naruto said.
The Kyuubi knew everything Naruto said was true, and he wasn't ready to die. For the first time since he was sealed he might have to listen to his master.
"Your choice Kyuubi, either you give me what I want, or we both die." Naruto said aggressively.
"Very cleaver Naruto. In my eyes we are now at a neutral friendship. I will give you what you want." Kyuubi said
"And it better stay that way, otherwise I will kill us." Naruto threatened.
Naruto disappeared from the chamber and the Kyuubi was alone.
"That boy impresses me more and more every day. I'm even more impressed that he meant that threat. I know one day he will see things my way." Kyuubi said to himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cursed seal was released. As soon as it was Naruto grew fangs on both the top, and bottom of his mouth, he grew claws on both hands, his eyes turned into the Kyuubi's eyes, and all around him the demon foxs cloak flowed over his body, and sprouted eight chakra tails. Everyone was amazed to see Naruto at this level of power.
"He did it, he actually did it. Naruto is finally able to control the Kyuubi completely." said Sakura to herself.
"Yes, the Kyuubi, the true power of Naruto." thought Madara.
Narutos rasengan glowed blood red, and grew the bladed sections of Narutos Rasenshuriken. Pein cracked a smile, and then they both lunged at each other to attack. They both reached each other, and hit both rasengans at one another. A giant bright light appeared where the two attacked each other. Everyone except for Pein, and Naruto were blinded by the light. They just stared at each other inside the light. Naruto remembered this moment when him and Sasuke had their first fight at the Valley of End. The light dissipated, and both warriors were injured, but still standing.
"What power. I knew the Kyuubi was strong, but I never dreamed it would be this strong." Madara thought.
Pein and Naruto were both out of breath, but both knew the fight wasn't over yet. Naruto still had control over the Kyuubi, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity.
"Shadow clone jutsu." said Naruto.
Naruto made fifty shadow clones, and decided to send them all on an attack to Pein. First he sent only ten of them at Pein, he saw this attack head on, and summoned his other bodies to fight beside him. All six of Pein's bodies went to attack Naruto's clones, the clones had the power of Narutos sage abilities, and the chakra of the Kyuubi, but it still wasn't enough to defeat Peins bodies since they had the rin'nengan, and sage powers as well they were about even in this fight.
"Your friend is truly skilled. I've never seen Pein struggle in any fight before this one." said Konan to Sakura.
Sakura watched the fight, and had a feeling it end with Naruto winning, but even if he beats Pein, there's still Madara and Konan. She never worried for anyone as much as she did at this moment. The fight continued on, many of Naruto's shadow clones were destroyed; he didn't want to use up to much energy to make more. Finally a group of clones destroyed of Pein's bodies. The other five bodies however destroyed the clones that killed the body shortly after. Pein's main body walked up to the dead body to look at the damage, then at Naruto.
"You truly are a great ninja Naruto. However you forgot a huge detail about the field." said Pein.
"Yeah, what's that?" asked Naruto.
"Its still raining." replied Pein.
Naruto looked around him, and saw that it was. He wondered how he could have been so careless, this meant Pein had the advantage, and he knew Pein wouldn't hesitate to use it.
"Damn, how could I forget that?" Naruto thought.
"Now you will feel my power at its fullest." said Pein.
All of Pein's bodies got in the same stance, and waited. One of the bodies stepped forward and summoned the King of Hell, the body was eaten, then the summon opened its mouth and the body walked out completely revived. The revived body took his place in line with the other Pein's, and took stance, and aimed the rain needles at Naruto, and his clones. The rest of Naurto's clones were destroyed by the rain, and Naruto was left standing. He got into position to make another rasengan, but the demon foxs cloak started to fade away.
"Damnit." said Naruto.
The cloak was gone, but Naruto wasn't going to give up yet. He continued to take his stance, and tried to make his rasengan.
"Poor boy, he never did learn how or when to give up. Pein finish him off, we don't have anymore time to waste." said Madara.
Pein and his bodies took their stance, and aim at Naruto.
"NARUTO RUN!!" yelled Sakura.
"There's nowhere he can run. His attack is impossible to avoid." said Konan.
Sakura couldn't stand to see Naruto get hurt more than he was, so she tried to go help him, but Konan got in the way again, and continued to hold her back. Sakura fought back, but Konan was still more than a match for her. Pein and his bodies made it rain harder, and faster than before, and shot the rain needles back at Naruto. Naruto was hit directly by at least one thousand more rain needles. When Pein made the rain stop he saw that Naruto was in so much pain from the last two assaults that he couldn't fight back. He fell to his knees, then on his stomach. He tried to get up but was too injured, and drained from the fight that he couldn't, he continued to try and get up, but he still couldn't. He looked at Sakura, and saw how she tried to help, he saw Kakashi, Sai, and Yamato fight to save him, but the akatsuki members were to strong even for them.
"Sakura…..I'm sorry." Naruto said just before passing out from exhaustion, and injuries.
Everyone just looked at him on the ground. Naruto has never lost a battle like this. Everyone knew Pein had to be stronger than any opponent any of the villagers ever fought; everyone knew Narutos strength and jutsu levels were beyond kage levels. Pein walked up to his body, and checked his pulse then looked back at Madara.
"He's still alive" said Pein.
"Good. Come out Zetsu." said Madara
Out from the ground next to Narutos unconscious body came a person with a Venus fly trap around his body. The fly trap opened, and Zetsu looked down at Naruto's body then at Madara.
"So this is the nine tails host?" asked white Zetsu.
"Yes. Take him to the woodland base. We'll be there shortly." replied Madara.
Zetsu picked Naruto up, threw him over his shoulder, and started to submerge back into the ground. Sakura broke free from Konans grip, and ran up to Zetsu to try to take Naruto back. Pein saw this, and summoned all five of his other bodies to surround her.
"NARUTO!!!" Sakura yelled.
She used all the strength she had to try to break free from Pein's bodies, but she wasn't able to budge. All she could do is watch Zetsu take him away. She was in tears from it. She hadn't been like this since Sasuke left the village.
"First Sasuke, now Naruto. I've lost both of them." she thought.
Zetsu was finally fused with the ground, and Pein's bodies released Sakura, and five of the bodies disappeared. Sakura fell to the ground on her hands and knees crying. Not understanding why the Fourth Hokage picked Naruto to be the host of the nine tailed fox, why it couldn't be someone else. She remembered the first day she met Naruto, when they were put on the same team, all the missions they went on, them saving Gaara from akatsuki, all the up till now.
"Pein, Konan, we must go. We still have to extract both the eight, and nine tailed beasts from their hosts." Madara ordered.
Pein jumped up into the trees with Madara, and started at the woodland base to perform the extraction. Sakura got off the ground, and looked up at the trees, and saw Konan staring back at her. At first she thought she was just seeing things, but she saw her run in the same direction as Pein, and Madara, and she was certain that it was real. Sakura started to run after them, but was stopped by Kakashi.
"What the hell are you doing? We have to go after them." She said
"We cant go after them without a plan Sakura. We don't want to be careless with them." Kakashi replied back.
"Hes right, if we go without a plan then they've already won." said Yamato.
Sakura just looked at the two of them.
"They took out Naruto with just one ninja, you couldn't break free from another ninja, and the three of use were held back by just one as well, not to mention they have more at their base. We can't make any wasted moves or we all might die." Kakashi said.
Sakura was enraged, but knew they were right.
"The akatsuki were able to take out Naruto and recruit Sasuke. So we can't treat this like any other mission. This would be considered an S ranked mission, and we'll need more people if we're going to do it right. Pein never wasted a move during that fight, he had the advantage the whole time, and the rin'nengan eyes which makes him the most dangerous person we can run into." Kakashi said.
"What about Madara? He's the leader shouldn't he be the biggest threat?" asked Sai
"Normally yes, but he isn't as big as Pein would be. Madara has the eternal mangekyo sharingan, but the rin'nengan is ten times more powerful than any form of sharingan." Kakashi replied.
"Please, we have to bring him back." said Sakura.
Kakashi looked at her, and saw more sadness in her eyes now then when Sauske left the village.
"We will bring him back. First we have to let Hokage know, gather more people to help, and form a plan." replied Kakashi.
They rushed to Hokages office in hope to get some people to help them with their mission. Sakura was trying to get there as fast she could, she wouldn't be able to live with herself if anything happened to Naruto now.
