Whoops! I totally messed up! I updated the wrong chapter on to this story. I would have fixed it earlier, had I known, but my laptop got infected with a virus. OMG! I swear, those fake antivirus things are the FUCKING WORSE THINGS in THE WORLD! I HOPE GOD FUCKIN DAMNS THEM ALL TO HELL! Seriously, what's the point in making viruses in the first place. Aw well, my computer is infected still, but it's working perfectly fine...I think. Except for the occasional random pop-up that I know FOR SURE is the viruses' fault, it seems nothing is wrong with it. I used three different kinds of antivirus shields' scanners, but after the first scan of each, it detects nothing...ARGH! I don't want to reformat my hard drive.

Oh well...most of you don't care anyway...But after much delay here's the real chapter. OH yeah, I saw that alot of you guys liked my kind-of-sketch for the Harry Potter X Naruto! So I'll post it in another story somethime after a few chapters after this. Maybe.

(o-o)(o-o)(o-o)

+WARNING; SPOILERS+ Starts somewhere into the future after Madara reveals the Moon-Eye Plan. (? Is that what's it called?) I don't know what chapter was that so this is just very general reference. I don't know if there are gonna be any, but this is just in case I guess.

Prologue - Final Battle/ReBirth - (YES FINALLY DONE WITH THE PROLOUGE!)

Why? Why is he doing this? What point is it to gain power, but only to use it to hurt everyone?

My ears twitched in anticipation, and I leapt away from the onslaught of kunai. In a flash, I dig out one of my own, and countered. I Shushined behind my opponent and slit his throat. I turned to my right only to have to defend myself against another enemy ninja. I Shushined behind him too, and slit his throat. And the cycle continues.

He says he wants world peace, but what part of this looks like peace! To take away their freedom, and put them in an everlasting illusion is beyond messed up!

All of a sudden, I was thrown out of balance, and my head jarred from the impact. My eyes flew wildly as I tried to regain my senses and look out for another attack. I felt the ground rumble, and I quickly jumped away. Out of the earth, a dragon rushed towards me. I summoned my chakra. "RASENGAN!" My blue ball of fury tore apart the Earth Dragon, and went directly into the ninja's chest. His eyes, wide and surprised, turned glossy, and he he died. I looked upon him, and looked away, unable to contain my ander. I scanned the battlefield. It was Chaos. Blood flew everywhere. The enemy shinobi were advancing slowly, but surely. For every one enemy killed by my allies, it seemed like another three would pop up to take their place.

Shinobi. What is the worth of this title, of being a 'Shinobi'. When was this worth forgotten?

I thought of Ero-sennin. Although he was 'super pervert', his way of ninja, his nindo, was unmistakable. He is probably one of the few that understood the true meaning of Shinobi. I was brought out of my reverie as another ninja appeared.

"Sakura-chan," I whispered softly, almost gentle-like.

"Naruto," she acknowledged. Her face was smeared with blood, and her fingerless gloves were split. She looked tired.

"This isn't getting anywhere. Everywhere people are dieing," My eyes started to sting. I felt a pang in my heart, and blinked in surprise. I was crying. "All because of me too! Because of me, this world is being torn apart." I started to laugh hysterically.

"Oh Naruto..." Sakura's face softened, and then hardened. "Naruto!" She slapped me, her eyes brimming with tears too. I kept my head down. "Don't ever repeat that again! It is not your fault! None of this is your fault! It is all Madara's!"

"But...I am a demon. Sakura-chan! I am the cause of everything! Even when Sasuke ran away!" My tears started to run, and I hiccuped. I bit my lip, trying to make it stop. Not now. Not in the middle of war. I cannot show weakness.

"NARUTO! I said stop!" Sakura yelled. "You are not a demon! You never were! Just because the Kyuubi was sealed inside of you, doesn't mean that you are one too! It's also not your fault Sasuke decided to go..." Sakura face fell. "He...he made the deciscion of leaving us for power. It's none of our faults. He made his deciscion, and we...Being his teammates, whether in the past or not, have to support even if we don't approve. He wants power, he'll get it. I'll stuff it down his throat until he's absolutely full of it. Don't worry Naruto, we'll get him back one day."

I let a small grin slip. "Yeah...One day...Thanks Sakura-chan."

Sakura's face grew brighter. "No problem. After all, what are friends for if not to catch each other when we fall?"

And that was where our conversation ended. A deafening explosion was seen in the distance, and we braced ourselves for the shockwave that follows.

Is it to kill? We are assasins, but we do not slaughter. Then is it to protect? A weapon is unable to be used to protect. A weapon can only hurt and kill. But maybe that's the answer. To being a Shinobi. To kill, and to protect. To kill is to protect.

I steadied myself and turned to Sakura. "Sakura-chan! Let's go over there." She nodded, and leapt in the direction of the explosion.

Then again, what is it that we are trying to protect? Our lives? But isn't risking our lives to protect our lives a bit redundant?

As we drew closer to the scene, a feeling of dread crept up my toes. A shiver ran down my spine. The smoke cleared and I felt bile rise up my throat. Scattered everywhere were bits of body parts. The ground was painted with blood and it was decorated with limbs. A true battlefield.

To protect our village. That is why a Shinobi was created. A Weapon. The perfect Weapon.

"Oh my God...," Sakura gasped. She lifted a hand to cover her mouth. "What happened here?"

"No, Sakura-chan. God can't help us now," My voice hard. "Let's...let's look for surviors, and figure out what caused this. Be wary of enemies."

"Yeah...," she replied absently.

We trudged our way around the annihalited bodies. The sight was sickening and I almost threw up a few times. Sakura did. I passed her my water bottle.

"Th-Thanks," she handed my bottle back to me. I took a quick sip too. From the corner of my eye, I spot a strikingly grey object.

"Kakashi-sensei!" I yelled. Sakura whirled around and raced to him. "Is...is he alive?"

"Yeah. Just," Sakura said, hands trembling. "Naruto, we need to get him away from here, fast. He might get infected, or worse. I'll stop the blood, and try to temporarily reattach his arm, but it will only be a blotch job. Also, send some clones to look for others."

I nodded affirmative. Four clones poofed next to me. I had finally got so proficient in using them, I no longer needed handsigns. All I needed to do was to concentrate on the necessary amount of chakra, and they come out. Three of them jumped away, and went searching. I stood there, silently. I watched as Sakura sealed Kakashi's wounds. Beads of sweat dripped from her face. Her face fierce with concentration.

A moan erupted from Kakashi's mouth. He started to cough violently, and then spat out a clump of blood. "S-Sakura. N-Naruto," he managed to wheeze out. I cringed at the sound, and I couldn't stop the tears from forming in my eyes. He started to hyperventilate, and his eyes blurred.

"Kakashi-sensei, don't talk! Just breathe. That's right. In and out. In and out," Sakura said soothingly. "Here maybe this would make it better." She closed her hand around Kakashi's throat and started to heal his lungs.

"T-thank you, Sakura," Kakashi said. He smiled his usual upside-down U smile, but grimaced when he found that it hurt to do so. Sakura threw her arms around him, and cried.

"Thank God you're alive!" she cried. I clenched my fist.

"Sakura! Stop thanking God! It is not thanks to him that Kakashi-sensei is alive," I shouted angrily, "God can go to Hell for all I care."

Sakura looked at me in shock. "How could you say that! I mean, I don't necessarily believe in God, but it doesn't hurt for me to say thanks to him,"

"If God really cared, then none of this would ever have happened. If God really cared, no one would have had to die. IF GOD REALLY CARED, THE KYUUBI WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SEALED INSIDE OF ME, AND THIS WAR WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD HAPPENED!" I shouted. All Sakura did was stare.

"Both of you, calm yourselves. We are in a battlefield. Contain your emotions," Kakashi whispered. "Naruto, do you really believe that if the Kyuubi was sealed in anyone else, none of this would have happened? Now, before you say anything, I just want you to know, that I think things would have been even worse. You are the strongest person I know. You have taken the abuse of an entire village, and still say that you want them to acknowledge you. You have proven over and over again that no matter how hard a time you are having, you won't give up. Simply because it is not your way. Simply because it is not in your nature to just lay down and die. Simply because it is your nindo. So now, are you going to prove me wrong? Are you going to put down everything you have worked so hard for? Are you going to give up?

I stared at him, wide-eyed. I was a bit stunned at his heart-felt speech. "I...I will not give up."

Kakashi nodded in approval. Suddenly, his eyes widened. One second he was in front of me, and the next we swapped places. A blade of a scythe stuck out of his stomach.

Sakura screamed in horror. "Kakashi-sensei!"

I saw red. I felt my emotions coil and strengthen. "You fucking SON OF A BITCH!" I felt my eyes turn into slits, my hands into claws, and my face wild. My senses heightened, and my teeth elongated into fangs. I looked frantically around for my enemy, and lashed out with my chakra emboldened claw. The claw just phased through the body. A familiar mask tilted his head towards me.

"Ah, Naruto-kun! Long time no see. It's been, what, seven months since the Battle of Warden's Keep (1)? It was such a long time ago, but it stays fresh in my mind. All that blood! I remember seeing everyone you love dieing as I released my army of White Zetsus. I was mortally injured by you and your friend, Neji wasn't it, yes, but it was worth the look on your faces when your teammates started to turn to dust," Madara sighed, as if in ecstasy. "Bit by bit...Ahhh, you had a wonderful face expression," I grimaced. He actually moaned that last part."But now, sadly, the time for play has ended. You will need to sacrifice yourself for my ultimate plan. Come, Naruto. Whether by your will, or by force, you will come with me, and have Kyuubi extracted to complete Gedo Mazo.

Deliberately, as if to spite me, he flung Kakashi across the field. My senses told me that Sakura Shushined to catch him, but my eyes never left the man in front of me. "FUCK YOU," I snarled. 'Kyuubi, let's crush this bastard.'

'Gladly.' In my mindscape, I saw him grin viciously. I let more of Kyuubi's power seep into me. I let my emotions of hate, and vegeance take over. Even more power started to surge. I wanted more. MORE. It was like letting my sanity slip, and all of a sudden my entire being was enshrouded with this evil chakra. The more I concentrated on my dark emotions the more tails that grew. I had trained. Alot. In order to keep control to up to eight tails. But never, never ever, was I in control when I went up to nine tails. The power was too terrible and too great. The side effects of going into that mode were terrifying.

But it was the only way. I knew, even instinctively, that I was no match for Uchiha Madara. Not even a snowballs chance if I didn't go all out in the very beginning.

If only things were that simple.

I think I'm going to just end it here for now. This chapter was mildly dark. Just like how I wanted it. Bear in mind this is the first fic I've ever really thought about, and worked hard on. I'm still debating whether to have an epic battle in a Part 2 prolouge, or just go straight into the story. Because what if this battle is so epic, that all others pale in comparison. I think I'll just release what happened here a little by little during the actual part. For now, just imagine a great big meteor came out of nowhere and destroyed the entire planet. Teehee.
