Legends Return
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto or any characters. (Wish I did though would have been filthy rich, no need to work then)
AN- Hey people I'm back with another story. Hope you guys like it, sorry for any grammatical and spelling errors. I don't have any beta. Post open if anyone wants the job.
Prologue
Death and destruction scarred the land. Bodies lay scattered all over. There were countless and many, some identity known and some unknown. Both sides suffered heavy losses with the death toll still rising. Where once the forest was green with enormous tress became as barren land from various jutsus being used by the remaining ninjas. The atmosphere was thick with flames and ashes, the stench of blood, sweat and burnt flesh was enough to make even a seasoned ninja nauseous.
The Sixth Hokage of the village hidden in the Leaf scanned the battlefield. A scowl graced upon his face. He never did like death and destruction. He never thought that he would be back on the battlefield so soon. It had only been ten years since the last fourth great shinobi war. The war had been fought long, hard and gruelling but the Allied Shinobi Force had won. Sasuke had helped in the war and then eventually he had convinced him to return to the village. Granny Tsunade had named him her successor and peace had finally reigned in the village. But this battle in front of him was causing him more grievance than any fight that he had fought so far.
I am so sorry everyone he thought to himself, I promised that I would protect everyone you all but I failed, Gaara, Granny Tsunade, Kakashi, Iruka, Sakura, Hinata, Lee, Kiba, Shino, everyone they were all gone. His rage was stirring inside of him, he couldn't contain it any longer. He merged with Kuruma and went into nine tails mode. He launched himself into the air ready to join the battle when he was stopped abruptly. He turned around to see who had dared to stop him.
"Dobe," Sasuke was staring slightly to the left of Naruto, not really looking at him with wide eyes, fear clearly flickering in his blood red eyes. Naruto followed his gaze. Oh shit you have to be kidding me! There thundering down the battlefield with a horrendous whine was the Gedo Mazo, the demonic statue of the outer path.
"What the fuck is going on?"
"I thought you destroyed that thing?" As the two ninjas watched in horror the Gedo Mazo hunkered closer destroying everything and anyone that came across it.
"It should have been destroyed when we defeated that bastard Madara!"
"Naruto, I don't know what the hell is going on but we better do something quickly" Naruto knew that to fight this demonic statue he would need help. He bit his thumb and drew blood. Sasuke followed suit.
"Summoning jutsu!" Both shouted simultaneously. When the smoke cleared there stood the boss Gamabunta with Naruto on his head. Naruto looked over towards Sasuke as the smoke cleared he shivered looking at Manda, Sasuke's snake summon.
"What the hell?" Gamabunta involuntarily shivered seeing the Gedo Mazo screeching down the battlefield.
"What the hell?" Gamabunta had just noticed that Manda was next to him, he recoiled in disgust. Manda glared at him barring her fangs. It was well known that the frogs didn't associate with snakes not after the whole Orochimaru shebang.
"Chief Toad, I need a distraction"
"Brat, you haven't summoned me in ages and when you do it's to face that?"
"Sasuke and Manda will assist you"
"The hell they will!" Gamabunta was offended. He was also surprised that Naruto would ask him something like this. Manda remained silent waiting for her master.
"Chief Toad I need a distraction and Manda and Sasuke will assist you" Naruto rarely used his authority as the Hokage but when using that tone of voice, it commanded no disobedience whether from ninjas in his rank or his summons.
Naruto leapt off from Gamabunta's head. The Gedo Mazo had noticed the summons and screeched ear splitting. Naruto and Sasuke were forced to cover their ears.
"Manda you know what to do!"
Manda slithered towards the left while Gamabunta went right. The Gedo Moza was headed right for Naruto. Whoever the summoner of the demonic statue was was after Naruto.
Manda wrapped herself around the Gedo Mazo's feet stopping the statue. As the statue struggled against Manda's constricting hold, Gamabunta had prepared a mouthful of oil and he fired it out at the demonic statue at a high pressure.
"Fire release: Toad oil flame bullet!" Manda let go.
"Fire release: Great fireball jutsu!" Sasuke blew out the flames through his mouth. The statue was hit, Gamabunta's toad oil acting as an accelerant and the demonic statue was covered in flames.
They knew that that such a simple jutsu as this would not be enough to even put a scratch on the statue. Meanwhile Naruto had body flickered himself behind the demonic statue.
"Get out now!" Gamabunta and Manda retreated as quickly as they can.
"Shadow clone jutsu!"
Gamabunta, Manda and Sasuke started in awe. There was about fifteen Naruto's surrounding the demonic statue. But the awesome thing was that that they too were all in nine tails mode with a beast bomb at the ready. Wow that is some power thought Sasuke. The jutsu connected with the statue and the aftermath of the explosion could be felt from miles away.
"Brat that was some power" Gamabunta praised him, however Naruto was not paying attention. In the nine tails mode he could sense chakra better than sage mode. He could still feel the Gedo Mazo but where the hell was the summoner. Oh crap! Kurama grabbed a surprised Gamabunta with one claw and Manda with another claw and he threw them as far away as possible. Naruto was pulled towards the demonic statue by some unknown force. This reminded him too much of Pains jutsu. But wait how this was possible, that means the summoner has to possess the rinnegan.
The ground shook as Gamabunta, Manda and Sasuke landed with a thud. Sasuke was hanging on to one of Manda's horn for dear life. He quickly righted himself and looked on to see what happened. What the hell is the dobe doing? He saw Naruto being sucked into the Gedo Mazo's mouth.
"Manda take me to Naruto"
"You won't make it on time" the Gedo Mazo was moving swiftly away from the battlefield. It had acquired the target.
"Manda now!" Sasuke threatened darkly. He swore an oath to protect the Hokage and he would but before that he had to protect his best friend. Manda didn't think even with her speed that they would reach the retreating statue on time, however she eyed Gamabunta.
"Gamabunta throw me!" She hissed. Gamabunta started at her confused.
"Throw me now!" she screamed, the statue was getting away. Yes they had their differences but now was not the time to act on it. Gamabunta did as he was told. Manda with Sasuke clinging on to her horn flew through the air towards the demonic statue.
Manda sank her fangs into the statue's neck which gave Sasuke a chance to enter its mouth once it screeched.
"Sas..Sasuke you should have stayed out there" Naruto rasped out. Sasuke ran towards him. Naruto was on his hands and knees, sweat dripping down his face and nearly as pale as Sasuke.
"What's going on dobe?"
"Someone ahh, ahh, wants Kuruma" he was panting now.
"Where is he? I'll kill him" Sasuke looked around trying to locate the summoner with his sharingan but there was no one there. Sasuke could see the chakra leaving Naruto's body, the Gedo Mazo was sucking his chakra at an alarming rate. Sasuke didn't know what he should do. He had never seen Naruto in this state before, at someone else's mercy. Right now Sasuke felt so helpless.
"I don't have enough chakra and neither does Kuruma" Naruto fell down. His body was growing weaker and weaker and soon he would be unconscious. His eyes began to close. Chakra, that's it, if the dobe and Kuruma need chakra then I'll give them all they need. He remembered that when he had met Naruto in Orochimaru's liar he had to enter Naruto's mindscape in order to talk to the demon. He knelt down beside Naruto and flipped him over. He cradled Naruto's head, Naruto however remained unmoving.
"Look at me!" Sasuke commanded. Naruto barely managed to open his eyes but it was enough for Sasuke. As he looked into Naruto's eyes which had lost the red slits but reverted back to his sparkling blue one he entered Naruto's mindscape. The Nine tails stood towering above him, protecting the fallen Naruto.
"Uchiha" he growled out.
Sasuke extended his hand which was glowing with chakra. Kuruma cocked up an eyebrow in question.
"Take as much as you need. Save him" Kuruma smirked. An Uchiha willing to sacrifice his life for Naruto.
Kuruma extended his claw one resting on Naruto's head while the other grasped Sasuke's hand.
"Make sure you remain loyal" Darkness enveloped Sasuke's vision with Kuruma smirking the last thing he saw.
AN- So let me know what you think of it. Positive criticism is welcome. Anyway I have a question is Sasuke's Snake summon Manda a female or male? I didn't know so I portrayed her as a female.
This one is going to be multi-chapter and the next chapter will be up as soon as possible so please don't give up on it. I might not be very fast at updating though.
