Battle Among Gods!

by Dancesnapple

My version of how the series should have ended. No Kaguya. Just Naruto and Sasuke vs Madara as Kishimoto originally intended. Also some Kakashi stuff to tidy up Obito and Black Zetsu. One HUGE fight, so have fun :)

Okay, so I'm hoping some of you out there are like me on this subject. I HATE the very idea of Kaguya. I hate the idea of Naruto and Sasuke being reincarnations of two brothers. I hate them being reincarnations of Hashirama and Madara. I hate the fact that the sage of six paths has a brother. Why? Because them being reincarnations means they aren't unique and all their personal stories are just rehashes of previous generations except, since they're main characters, everything will work out, meaning we instantly knew how everything would happen. I hate the sage's brother because his mere existence cuts the sage's previous viewed power in half. Since we thought he took down the ten tails single handed and created the moon, the idea of him having a brother, SIMPLY SAYING IT, made the god of our series at that point half as powerful as we thought. Not to mention, Kaguya's entire conception was made due to Kishimoto himself saying he "made Madara too powerful". Hmm... So, instead of fighting your super character, you make a character that you admit is more powerful, but give the characters their bromance mguffin seal. FAAAAAAANTASTIC...

So here's the ending I wanted. This is going to be my own version of the Madara fight as if Madara was the final main bad guy like he was meant to be up until Kishi couldn't make a way to kill him. We're going to be starting literally as soon as Naruto came back and was about to enter his ten tail form, and Sasuke is awakening his Rinnegan. Everyone happy? It's going to be a long fight. Enjoy.

"Hm..." A menacing chuckle came. Two young men stood before him as he appraised them with his one eye. He looks to one, golden cloak around a black body with spiky glowing blonde hair. "One with the senjutsu of the sage of six paths." He looks to the other with dark blue pants, blue cloth around his waste, and grey high collar short sleeved shirt. "And one with his power of the eyes."

Madara Uchiha smirked as his hands formed the traditional handsign for gathering chakra. "Very well! Let us fight to find out who the strongest really is!"

His chakra clashes with Naruto and Sasuke's own chakras, shaking the ground and cracking the rock apart.

Madara smiled a toothy grin. Let's test that eye... Sasuke. "Limbo..." Sasuke's eyes widened as his vision showed him a blacked out world, a shadow like version of Madara separating from his body and speeding directly towards them.

"Naruto! Duck left." The blonde's senses alerted him as he side stepped the attack perfectly, the ground where he previously stood destroyed. Naruto grips his chakra rod and with one swing, bashes the invisible foe in the back. The any onlooker, it would seem that the rocky area behind the two teens exploded without anything hitting it. Only Sasuke and Madara saw the shadow be launched and crash into the rocks surprised. "You can see it?"

Naruto shook his head and turned back to Madara. "No, I can sense it, though. Pretty easily."

Madara's grin grew. Impressive... What's next? The five black chakra orbs, his Truth Seeking Balls, rotate around him while he gripped his staff, made out of a sixth ball, getting ready.

Naruto grips both of his rods as his seven TSB orbs float at his back, and he charges. With blinding speed, he appears right in front of Madara, the elder fighter smirking and looking back with his one eye. His rods clash with Madara's staff in a massive shock wave. Naruto smirks as six of his orbs form points while Madara's five form into a shield around him to block all six. His seventh rips from the ground behind him. Madara smirks as his shield spreads around his back to block it. Too slo-

Suddenly, Sasuke speeds from the spot the ball was just at, speeding under the forming shield with a lightning charged sword. Madara shows shock as Sasuke hits from behind. However, Madara is swapped out as Sasuke's sword is piercing the shadow Naruto had hit before. Sasuke and Naruto both glance as Madara comes from the side, bashing Naruto away. The black chakra orbs blast apart as Sasuke fires out a black Chidori Sharpspear. Madara blocks the extending lightning blade with his staff as the black lightning is slowly diminished.

Sasuke's eyes widen. "What?!"

Madara smirks madly. "Impressive Rinnegan technique. I didn't see you move, but you obviously have more to learn." All his TSB orbs mold into spears shooting at Sasuke, who blocks with Susanoo armor, but the attacks still carry enough force to launch Sasuke away.

Sasuke lands by Naruto while Madara glances over far away, seeing Kakashi. Time to get my other eye, or this might actually be difficult. He suddenly speeds off towards Kakashi.

"Crap! Kakashi sensei!" Naruto rushes after. "I gotta stop him!" Suddenly, a voice in his head calls. Use my power. Naruto visualizes the face.

Shukaku?

My power can seal and hold him in place.

Right. Naruto charges up a Rasengan as black markings form around it. Sasuke charges lightning into his blade and throws it full force directly at Madara while he chased Madara as well.

The elder ninja smirked as saw the blade coming as he halts. Sasuke speeds ahead of Naruto. Madara chuckles. "Let's see the power of your eyes." The sword closes in as he simply sways and rushes past it, meeting Sasuke as his hand extended to the younger Uchiha. "Maybe I should take your Rinnegan instead?"

Sasuke's eye locked onto his sword as it kept going from his throw. This time it was his turn to smirk. Suddenly, Sasuke and the sword instantly swap places. The sword still speeding forward from the earlier throw and impaling the surprised Madara's chest. Sasuke charges from behind, a black lightning Chidori formed. Naruto comes from the from.

"RASENGAN!"

"CHIDORI!"

Both attacks hit, but once again, they find that the attacks landed on a newly created shadow. "Replacement?!" Sasuke and Naruto see Madara close the distance to Kakashi.

Their teacher merely has time to act surprised as Madara speed blitz's in and removes his eye in one motion.

Sasuke forms a full black flame sword and dashes in, seemingly cutting Madara in half, only for the man to disappear. Sasuke stands angered. "Shit. Naruto, you got the shadow Madara?"

He sees Naruto and one of his clones piercing one of his chakra rods into the shadow and sealing it in place. "I got it. Here's your sword." He throws the blade back to Sasuke who catches and sheathes it. "He's going to have both Rinnegan eyes. That won't be good..."

Sasuke clenches his hand into a fist. "He'll be back soon." He turned begrudgingly and asked. "You've fought Rinnegan users before. Any useful information? He absorbed one of my attacks."

Naruto looked surprised, but looked back at the shadow. "Well, the shadow thing is new, so is you swapping places with things." Sasuke's eyes narrowed, not satisfied with a nonanswer. "But, absorbing chakra is one of the six primary powers of the Rinnegan. It's hard to get around."

Sasuke looked back to where Madara disappeared. "Any ideas how to beat it?"

Naruto watched as a medical ninja tended to Kakashi. "I used nature chakra. Pain didn't have a way to distribute the chakra, so the body that used that power turned to stone."

Sasuke muttered. "Useless when this guy stole sage mode from the first." Naruto seemed to have a thought, but was cut off as the portal opened again.

Sakura lands from the portal, surprise on her face. "Sakura?" Sasuke asks confused. "Where did you come from?"

Kakashi groans. "Did Obito send you back?"

Sakura looked up, immediately surprised to see Naruto and Sasuke's looks. "What happened to-" She turned to Kakashi. "Um, yes. Obito sent me back as soon as Madara attacked us." She noticed her sensei. "Kakashi sensei! Your eye."

"I'll be fine. We're going to have trouble."

Naruto answers. "Let us handle it. First, let me do something." He stepped over to Kakashi.

"What are you-" Sakura asked as Naruto placed his hand over Kakashi's empty eye.

"It's okay! Now, try to open it." Naruto smiled.

Kakashi slowly opened his left eye before snapping it open. "How?"

Naruto smiled but sweat slightly, not knowing how to explain. However, Sasuke cuts in. "Don't let your guard down, Naruto." He coldly looks over to Kakashi and Sakura. "You two need to go." The two are taken back by the comment. "We're going to kill Madara." Sasuke said simply. "You two are too weak."

Naruto growls. "Hey, don't talk down to them!" He turns to Kakashi. "Madara needs Obito to come back from the other dimension, right? Don't worry. I'll save him and bring him to you."

Sasuke stays quiet while Sakura nods. Kakashi sighs. "Thank you, but-"

"Transplant the eyes." Everyone looks to Sasuke. He turns coldly. "The odds of us saving his life after all that's been done to him is nearly zero, but we'll get his body to you."

Naruto frowns. "What are you talking about? I'll do everything to save Obito!"

Sasuke states plainly. "And what happens when you saving him opens you up to Madara's attacks? Are you that dense? If either of us goes down, this world is gone!" Naruto clamps up at that. "But we do need a plan B." He looks back to Sakura. "If Naruto and I die, someone has to continue the fight. Unless they have either a tailed beast or the eyes of an Uchiha, everyone is useless from this point on." Naruto glares at him. "Obito certainly can't use those eyes anymore with the condition of his body, so living or alive, transplant the eyes to Kakashi." Kakashi's own eyes widen at the response. "He's the only one alive with experience with them, so that makes him the backup plan. Even if we lose, I doubt Madara will have much power left."

Sakura and Kakashi hesitate, but slowly get up to leave. Naruto speaks up. "Don't worry!" The look back. "I don't ever go back on my word. He'll be alive." With that, the two leave as Naruto and Sasuke stand together. "You didn't have to be that blunt."

The space in front of them contorts as Madara and Obito appear from it. Obito's body thuds onto the ground as Madara lightly steps on the earth below him. He grins at the two protagonists with two Rinnegan eyes. "So, have you made peace with the world you know?"

Naruto whispers. "Sasuke, let's attack him together with our sage techniques."

Sasuke debates calling him an idiot. If Madara can absorb chakra from attacks, then they can't hurt him. However, he also knew that the Rinnegan part of this was something he was new to. "Alright."

Madara smirks as his chakra natures spawns a lightning jutsu in his hands. "Let's get back to it!" He fires off lightning bolts from his hands.

Naruto reacts, throwing one of his chakra rods into the blast at him, blocking it perfectly. The other blast of lightning travels to Sasuke. Sasuke takes his Sword of Kusanagi and rams it into the ground. He jumps up and leaps off the sword into the air, the lightning blast at him being drawn to the sword like a lightning rod harmlessly. Sasuke's susanoo chest and arms form around him as the bow appears, a black flame arrow ready.

Madara smirks as he creates three new shadows at once. Sasuke fires the arrow at the ground in front of Madara, cutting off the paths of the shadows. Jutsu work on them at least. If Naruto hadn't hit it earlier with his chakra rod, his attack wouldn't have gotten through. The arrow explodes in black flame leaving Madara amused. "Was that supposed to hit me?"

Sasuke's eyes activate. "Inferno Style: Flame Control!" The black flames spur to life and spread around Madara, completely trapping him in a circle and the flames rise to make a wall.

"Is this a pathetic attempt to trap me?"

Naruto, outside the flames, calls out. "Here's some added power from Goku. Rasenshuriken!" The attack smashes into the flames and explodes in a black inferno.

Madara speeds out from the explosion, shielded by his black chakra. However, from each side comes two Narutos. Each pair does a tailed beast enhanced Odama Rasengan. Sasuke appears behind Madara. His sword clashes with Madara's staff. Black lightning charges from his body into Madara's. "Chidori Stream!"

The lightning gets him as the two Rasengans hit him from both sides. Madara smiles as he starts to absorb the attacks, but suddenly goes wide eyes as his body shakes and his leg starts to contort. "What?!" He throws his arms out as his TSB orbs mold into blades and slash a the four Narutos and Sasuke. They all jump away as Sasuke gets by the real Naruto. The other three turn towards the disappearing black flames behind them all as the three shadow Madaras come out and battle the Naruto clones.

Naruto smirks. "It worked." Sasuke sends a questioning glance, but Naruto explained. "Madara got his sage mode from the first! He doesn't have any formal sage mode training. He can't properly distribute the chakra when he absorbs attacks from us that are infused with nature chakra."

Sasuke smirks. "So we CAN attack him all out." Sasuke glances back to find Obito's body behind the fighting Limbo and Shadow clones. He focuses on Obito, his Rinnegan swapping the two's places. Naruto gasps seeing Obito hit the ground beside him. Sasuke, meanwhile, forms a black flame sword in his hand, slashing all three Limbo shadows out of existence from behind. The Naruto clones poof away as Naruto, now holding Obito, lands by Sasuke.

Naruto makes a clone and gives it Obito. Naruto places his hand on him, closing his eyes and concentrating. He perks up and smiles. "I can't under all the damage, but he should live if he's tended to." He directs to his clone. "Take him to Sakura."

"Right." The clone speeds away.

"Are both eyes there?" Sasuke asks.

Naruto scowls. "Yes. You could at least try to be happy he's alive."

"Be happy the man who was trying to kill us and enslave the world half an hour ago is still alive. Pardon me for not being ecstatic." Sasuke keeps his eyes on Madara, who seems to have recovered from the attack earlier. The thing that puts Sasuke off is the smile.

"That was impressive. I take back all my former judgments about you, Uzumaki. You're smarter than you look. Unfortunately … There's a great deal more that I can do." Madara's hand signs form faster than any could hope to see. "Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!" Fueling the jutsu with nature and tailed beast chakra, the massive fire attack creates a massive tsunami across the landscape.

Sasuke's eyes activate. "Amaterasu!"

Naruto creates a giant Rasengan mixed with water chakra from Saiken. "Giant Rasengan!"

The black flames and explosive water attack halt the massive wall of flames, but both fighters lose track of Madara. Naruto's senses track him first. "Get into the air!"

He and Sasuke leap into the sky just as Madara shoots towards them from the fire. Sasuke draws his sword and comes back down, clashing the blade with Madara's staff. The elder Uchiha swings his off hand palm first at Sasuke. Sasuke's peripheral vision noted Chakra in the palm.

Naruto's senses picked up on what Madara was doing. "MOVE!"

Sasuke's eye looks up at Naruto as he teleports himself to Naruto by swapping places with one of his orbs. Madara's hand catches air as the TSB in front of him ruptures and explodes in his face.

Sasuke and Naruto land on the burnt lands. "What was so bad about his attack?"

Naruto explained. "Another Rinnegan ability. Nagato nearly killed me with it." His mind replays the moment when the red haired Nagato's hand slowly drew back from him, pulling out his soul. "It's like that thing we did to get the Tailed Beasts out of Obito, except he can just do it at will if his palm grabs you."

Sasuke scoffs. "You wait until NOW to tell me?" He looks over to see the smoke and debris clear, a frowning Madara looking up at them.

"This battle seems dull if I'm the one chasing you. Can your eyes not hope to match mine?" He smiles.

"Naruto, get ready to cover me." Naruto looks at Sasuke confused. "I have Rinnegan too!"

Sasuke speeds forth. Madara responds with the same motion, the two closing distance. Madara smirks as his palm reaches for Sasuke. Then he notices something. Just as his palm reaches Sasuke, Sasuke's reaches him. The two halt, each one's palm on the other's chest. Suddenly, both of them enter into struggle, each one trying to pull the other one's soul out.

Madara grins wide. "Excellent! Using the same technique, but how will you compete with my power?"

Just like that, Sasuke could swear he could see the image of the Ten Tails behind Madara as he uses a extreme amount of Tailed Beast chakra to aid him. Sasuke's soul starts to come out, but he smirks. "Power or not, you still can't move."

Madara's eyes widen, Naruto appearing behind him with a Rasengan. Madara creates a Limbo clone to take the hit for him, but Naruto pulls the Rasengan back and does a kick. The physical hit passes through the Limbo clone and nails Madara in the side of the head just as the Limbo clone's attack hits Naruto.

Madara and Naruto both go flying as Sasuke, now free from the soul rip, Chidoris the shadow Madara away. Madara halts himself as Naruto does the same. Naruto leaps over to Sasuke. "Damn. That almost worked, but he sensed me coming. If I could have used that Rasengan on him."

Sasuke analyzes the situation. "Well, we've successfully found counters to all three of the eye abilities he's shown. He's going to have to be more cautious."

Naruto scratches the back of his head. "Yeah, so long as he doesn't use Al-"

Madara's hand extends out, a smile plastered on his face. "Almighty Push!" Both younger ninja have different reactions. Sasuke confused. Naruto panicked. Both are instantly sent careening down the landscape into the rocks and rubble.

As they get out from the rubble, Sasuke gets up. "I'm getting tired of asking, Naruto."

"That's Almight Push. It and its partner ability, Universal Pull, are instant moves that either push or pull you with however much power he wants to put into it." Naruto grunts out. "Each use has a five second interval until the next time he can use it. The more powerful the blast, the longer the interval is extended past five seconds."

Sasuke's eyes widen. "So just in the time it took to say that-"

"Universal Pull!" Both are ripped from their spots on the rubble to find Madara floating in the air with a smirk. The two are left floating in front of him. "You see how useless this is? No matter how many strategies you make to counter me, I have too many abilities for you to plan for."

Sasuke calls out. "NOW!"

Both are suddenly engulfed in chakra. Sasuke's Susanoo bow arm coming out. The head of the fox appearing around Naruto with a Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth. Madara's black chakra forms into a barrier, the attacks forcing him back. Madara powers back with a smirk, his own Susanoo arm and blade forming at his side. He speeds towards Sasuke.

Sasuke whips his head to Naruto, the two swapping places, thus breaking them from the Universal Pull. Naruto's chakra arm shoots from him, catching the arm of Madara's Susanoo. Naruto pulls him in, a sparking Rasengan with chakra from Gyuki. "RASENGAN!" The attack hits dead on, Naruto smiling wide as Madara is thrown back.

However... Madara's body disappears. "Naruto, throw your guard up!" Naruto pulls up his chakra rod just in time to block a Chidori Sharpspear. The extending lightning sword pushes Naruto out of the way as the area he was just at explodes from a bijuu bomb explosion, launching Naruto and Sasuke apart. When the blast clears, Madara stands there with a smile.

"What kind of trick was that?" The pseudo ten tailed jinchuuriki asks confused.

Madara smiles, bringing his hand up. "Almighty Push."

Naruto braces himself, using his TSB orbs to form a barrier. Sasuke dashes in, using his Susanoo to support the barrier. The force of the attack bashes against the defense, shattering the half formed Susanoo and breaking the barrier back into its orbs.

Naruto and Sasuke survive the attack. Naruto shaking his head. "Don't even ask this time. I don't know what Rinnegan ability he used to survive my Rasengan."

"That's because it wasn't a Rinnegan ability." Sasuke says angrily. Madara smirks back.

"You've experienced this ability?"

Sasuke grits his teeth. The image of a certain one eyed elder coming to mind. "That was Izanagi."

Naruto tilts his head. "Easy what now?"

Sasuke fumes. "A forbidden Sharingan technique that was used against me by that bastard Danzo."

Naruto takes a defensive stance, waiting for Sasuke to explain.

"At the sacrifice of a regular Sharingan eye, the user can 'rewrite their fate', undoing whatever may have happened within the previous moment." Naruto twitched at that. "Danzo had Senju DNA transplanted in him, which he used to extend that ability to nullify anything that happened to him for an entire minute with a single eye use."

Naruto paled. "That's ridiculous!"

"It gets worse." Sasuke explains. "A Mangekyo eye sacrifice can undo the damages done over the course of an entire battlefield. Madara originally used this technique to survive his fight with the first, despite the first killing him."

Naruto tilts his head. "But if it makes him blind, why isn't he blind?"

Sasuke's eyes widen. "Rinnegan... Don't tell me, Rinnegan doesn't sacrifice its vision to use it?!"

Madara smiles back. "To be fair, it does have a cool down." He arrogantly exposes the weakness. "Although, even I don't know how long it is."

Naruto grits his teeth. "So not only do we have a five second interval to attack in, but he can erase any damage we do in that five seconds?!"

Sasuke's mind flashed back as an image came to mind. The image of his older brother Itachi. He smirked. "There's a weakness." Naruto glanced over, confused but smiled after a second.

Both spoke the words of a wise older brother. "Every jutsu has a weakness!"

"Naruto, you handle the push."

Naruto dashes in, his Kyubi cloak forming around him. A giant Rasengan forms in the clawed foot of the fox cloak. "GO!"

Madara, more curious than anything, indulged them. "Almighty Push!" The blast clashes with Naruto's massive attack. The clash causes a massive backlash on Naruto, Madara floating still with a smile. Naruto then throws his father's kunai, the Flying Thunder God kunai. It closes distance with Madara as he simply plucks it from the air. "Hmph. What was that?"

Suddenly, Madara looked in front of him to see Naruto and Sasuke standing as they were at the beginning of the fight. Madara chuckled. "What? Standing proud for confidence-" He noticed that he suddenly had only one Rinnegan eye. He then chuckled. "Oh... very clever."

"Didn't you know? Izanami has to record all the combat skills of the victim in order for it to account for everything the victim can do. It is unlikely that technique will ever work on me, who has all the techniques of Uchiha and Senju. You'd be here all day to see all I can do."

With that, the world shatters. In his hand was not the Flying Thunder God kunai, but Sasuke's wrist, having used his Rinnegan to swap places with Naruto's weapon. Sasuke's eye stared Madara's straight on. Sasuke smirked. "I knew it wouldn't work, but it was a good distraction."

Madara's eyes widened as he realized his entire body was covered with Naruto clones gripping him still with Rasengans in hand. Madara disappears in a mess of explosions as Sasuke leaps back, landing by Naruto as they look at the forming mushroom cloud.

"Good hit, but that won't put him down." Sasuke stated.

"Well, if you weren't right beside him..." Naruto muttered.

They both sensed the enemy coming from the smoke, getting ready. From the smoke, nothing seemed to come out. Sasuke's eyes showed him the shadow Madara rush between them, going for Sasuke. He blocks the attack, but is forced back. Naruto glances back to Sasuke, concerned, but the real Madara appears right in front of him. "Good strategy just now. Mind if I steal it?" Madara's eyes stare into Naruto's as the blonde is paused. "Izanami..."

Sasuke shocks the Limbo clone away. "Naruto!"

Madara smirks. "It's easy to pull you into my illusion. All you use is shadow clones, tailed beast attacks, and pitiful Rasengan techniques. So predictable. Only takes two seconds to find out all your tricks." Madara mocks. The elder Uchiha turns and glares at Sasuke. "Shall we continue?"

Shock appears on Sasuke's face as Naruto raises his hands into a hand sign. Madara glances over, confused as Naruto is engulfed in smoke...

A sexy female with a black and yellow flaming chakra bikini appears with cuter versions of Naruto's sage/fox eyes. Pause... Madara stares dumbfounded while Sasuke's mouth drops ever so slightly. Naruto swiftly spins in air and round house kicks Madara in the jaw, bashing him into the ground below.

Naruto poofs back with a furious face. "Don't you EVER assume you know all my tricks!"

Madara gets up groggy from the hit, but mostly still confused from what he just saw. Sasuke lands with Naruto. "... I actually can't physically believe that technique saved your life."

Naruto smirked. "Two and a half years with the pervy sage? Heh. I have a few others in case he tries that again."

The ground suddenly shakes around them. Slowly they're lifted into the air on the ground. Naruto looks at Madara's stance and the smirk.

"Chibaku Tensei!" Above them float eight gravity centers.

Naruto thinks back to him, Bee, and Itachi being levitated up by a single one of these. "We have to attack those quickly!"

Suddenly, all eight form a giant circle and lower til they're not that high from the ground. The different pulling gravities tug Naruto and Sasuke from all sides. Madara smirks. "Now, lets see how you handle this." Naruto and Sasuke suddenly notice the battlefield turning dark. They look up, seeing a massive meteor falling from the sky. The eight Chibaku tensei's are meant to trap them long enough for that to hit!

Sasuke smirks. "Easy enough. I'll take the big one." Sasuke's full Susanoo forms aiming a giant bow up into the sky. The arrow in the bow forms black flames and black lightning together.

Naruto smirks as chakra heads of all the first eight tailed beasts form aiming each at one of the gravity centers, forming bijuu bombs in their mouths.

Both let lose at the same time, the eight bijuu bombs annihilating the Chibaku Tenseis while Sasuke's massive lightning arrow blasts through the meteor and shatters it from the inside, bring some rubble down on the battlefield.

They turn back to look at a Madara, standing patiently with his arms crossed. Sasuke mutters. "This is bad." Naruto glances at him. "If the battle goes at this rate, I'll end up overusing my eyes, and you'll run out of the chakra given to you by the Tailed Beasts."

Naruto smiles like he had the best idea ever. "Why don't you absorb some chakra from him?"

Sasuke stares dully. "Idiot. You're the one who pointed out the problem there. Same as him, I can't mold Nature Chakra at will. I could die."

"Unlike him, you have allies." The Nine Tails' voice rings in their heads. "Uchiha, if you absorb chakra from Madara, I can connect my chakra to you, and Naruto can distribute the chakra correctly for you. You can suck him dry!"

Naruto and Sasuke exchange a glance and nod. Naruto marks his signature jutsu. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Just like that, one thousand clones appear around Madara, all with Rasengans in hand.

Unfazed, Madara smiles madly, throwing his hands out. "Almighty Push!" The Rasengans clash against the powerful blast before the entire army of clones poof away, making a just wall of smoke.

Sasuke dashes through the smokescreen. Sasuke stares into the air above Madara, seeing Naruto. Naruto smirks as he forms a Rasenshuriken, the chakra turning to blue flames from Matatabi. Naruto throws it at Madara's back.

Madara smirks, using his TSB orbs to create a barrier to block Naruto's attack as he turns his attention to the closing Uchiha. Not trusting Sasuke's charge, he forms two arms of his blue Susanoo to attack.

Sasuke matches as two purple Susanoo arms with swords of their own to block. Sasuke leaps just in front of Madara, who attacks with his staff. Just as Sasuke seems to prepare to block, Sasuke disappears. In his place, Naruto's Rasenshuriken lands and explodes in Madara's face.

Outside the explosion, Sasuke and Naruto land. However, Madara appears behind Sasuke with Izanagi. His black chakra molds into a blade as he impales Sasuke from behind with a grin.

However, Sasuke poofs away, a clone. Naruto grabs Madara from behind in a restraining hold. Madara smirks, amused. "Holding me for another attack?" His TSBs come from above, but Naruto's shoot from the surrounding smokey battlefield, intercepting and blocking them out. Madara smirks, preparing to blast Naruto off before being stunned. "W-what?"

Chakra flows from his body, bubbling out and fading into Naruto. Suddenly, Naruto is engulfed in smoke, revealing Sasuke using Chakra absorption.

Madara chuckles. "Taking my chakra? Won't the nature chakra kill you if you can't control it?"

Sasuke smirks. "I know someone who can do that." Madara glances ahead as his strength starts leaving him, finding Naruto sitting on the ground far off, legs crossed and eyes closed.

Madara's eyes widen, suddenly alerted to the issue. He releases three Limbo clones at once to attack Naruto. Just as they approach, three Naruto clones appear, each armed with one of Naruto's TSB rods. The clones engage, leaving Madara at a disadvantage. Madara forms his Susanoo, hoping to push Sasuke off with it, but Sasuke's Susanoo appears to hold that Susanoo in an identical hold.

Madara growls. "Wood Style!" Sasuke's eyes widen in surprise. "Wood Dragon Jutsu!" Suddenly, two small wood dragons wrap around Sasuke's body as a massive giant one wraps Sasuke's Susanoo. The chakra Sasuke drains from Madara instead goes to the dragons around Sasuke.

It's then that Sasuke notices his Susanoo start to fade from the massive dragon. The weakened start causes Madara's Susanoo to break free, ripping Madara out from Sasuke's grip.

Sasuke thinks fast before the dragons start to drain him. "Amaterasu!" All the wood is set on fire in black flames, burning it off Sasuke, but only just in time for Sasuke to block a massive blue Yasaka Magatama. The blast rockets Sasuke away.

Madara smirks, but suddenly remembers Naruto, turning to find Naruto launching a bijuu bomb directly into his Susanoo's back.

Naruto rushes around the explosion, speeding to Sasuke's side. "How'd it go?"

Sasuke smirks. "I got a large chunk of chakra, but not enough to dent his supply. He'll still outlast us in endurance."

Sasuke holds his hand out to Naruto. Through the link made by Naruto, most of the chakra Sasuke stole is transferred over to the blonde. Naruto clenches his fist. "That'll keep me in this form! Thanks!" Naruto looks back at the explosion from before, finding Madara floating in the air with a smirk. "We need some way to take away his moves. He's always got a counter."

Sasuke glances around, his eyes catching Naruto's Flying Thunder God kunai. His eyes look it over, a plan forming. "Naruto, you still have the sealing formula for the Nine Tails?"

Naruto quirked his brow. "Huh? What do you need that for?"

"Possibly discovering a new Rinnegan use. Let me see your father's kunai too."

Naruto blinked in curiosity before handing the kunai over. As Sasuke looks over the seals along the handle, he glances at Naruto. The two seemingly find themselves in an empty void, both finding themselves in Naruto's inner mind, where Kurama used to be sealed.

"What is it, Uchiha?" A voice rumbles. Sasuke glances around to see all nine tailed beasts. The one speaking being the fox.

Sasuke, ever the asshole, straight up demands. "Just let me see it. Don't waste time that should be spent on Madara."

"Just explain. Conversations in here take place in no time." Naruto explains.

Sasuke explains. "I found out something weird when I watched Naruto's kunai. My Rinnegan seems to let me analyze the seals that make the dagger's jutsu work. All at a glance, I could tell how the Flying Thunder God technique worked."

Naruto sputters. "You mean you can do it?!"

"It seems to be specific to the fourth's type of chakra." Sasuke mutters. "Which means YOU might be able to use it. Since I can see how it works at a glance, I'm hoping to see a seal that I could possibly create and use to seal the Ten Tails chakra in Madara."

Naruto thinks about it before looking to Kurama, the fox giving a begrudging nod. Naruto turned and smirked. "I'll show you, but you have to show me how to work that kunai in exchange."

Sasuke nods as the world seems to change around them, they two back on the battlefield. Naruto grips the kunai in hand and smirks. Sasuke speaks low as he eyes Madara. "I'll need a good deal of power from you for the seal. My eye's about to reach its limit too."

Naruto smirks. "Then let's get it right."

"Excuse me." Madara interrupts with an arrogant smirk. "I believe we don't have all day. I would like to initiate the Infinite Tsukuyomi soon."

Naruto smirks, making his signature hand sign. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" The battle ground is covered in smoke, revealing yet another 1000 clones.

Madara frowns, bored. "I feel like I've seen this before."

All the Narutos get ready, calling out at once. "Yeah, right. You're about to learn the hard way. A god level lesson straight from Naruto's Ninja Handbook!"

Sasuke waits for his moment. The first line of Narutos call out, charging attacks. "First up: 100 Rasenshurikens!" True to the word, 100 of this S class jutsu is hurled at Madara.

The Uchiha forms a black shield around him before disappearing in a mass of explosions.

"Next: 1000 kunai!" Each Naruto clone calls as they all, all one thousand, launch their own copy of the original FTG kunai, all at Madara.

The Uchiha grins madly. "I certainly hope you don't think those kunai will matter." The ground around him shakes as wood style roots and trees start to grow to block.

That's when Sasuke strikes. "Yasaka Magatama, Amaterasu!" He sends black flaming Susanoo projectiles ahead of Naruto's kunai barrage. He follows up by firing a massive black flame fire arrow into the sky. "Inferno Style Flame Control!"

The magatama all erupt on flames all over the growing wood style. Madara looks above as the black fire arrow in the sky rips to pieces, raining thousands of miniature black flame arrows down onto Madara's defenses.

The flames burn the wood style away as the thousand kunai all hurl through. Madara gets ready, but is confused as the kunai zip past him. Before he can ask...

A yellow flash.

"RASENGAN!" The attack hits Madara across the jaw, spiraling him into and ricocheting off the ground. He looks around, catching only a flash as that Naruto already gets away. "Next up: 500 Rasengans!"

Within the hail storm of kunai, suddenly yellow flashes spark up all over the place. Each spark followed by an echoing "RASENGAN!" Madara is violently bashed from one direction to another, having no preconception of where the attacks are coming from. Suddenly, Madara roughly bounces off the ground into the air, a final Naruto floating above him with the nine tailed fox's chakra head around him, seemingly preparing to launch a bijuu bomb.

Madara doesn't risk it, disappearing out of the barrage of combos with Izanagi. He appears beside Naruto, charging lightning in his hands about to blast Naruto away.

Suddenly, Sasuke swaps places with one of Naruto's TSBs, dashing into Madara and slapping his palm on Madara's stomach. Madara shudders violently as he looks down, seeing Sasuke smirking up at him. Naruto channels a large amount of chakra into Sasuke.

Both call out together. "SEAL!"

Madara yells out in surprise as a bright light blinds them...

. . . . .

"Whoa..." "How can anyone fight like that?" "We can't possibly fight something like that!"

The various murmurings and exclamations of the Allied Shinobi Army continued as they watched the myriad of explosions, flames, and lights coming from the battle with Madara.

A soft gasp gets everyone's attention. Hinata calls out. "It's Sakura! Kakashi sensei!"

Sakura and Kakashi land, both tense from the combat they just left. Sakura stares back where they came while Kakashi glances around. "What's going on?"

Tenten informs him. "The kage are organizing the troops in case Naruto loses. The Hyuga clan is keeping and eye on. All the clans are organized, and Shikamaru's taking up the strategy side of things."

Kakashi nods. He notices Lee in a tent with the injured Guy. Kiba, Shino, Choji, and Ino are obviously with their clans. "Kakashi sensei!" He turns to see Sai. As he approaches he pauses. "Ah, your eye?"

Kakashi nods. "Ignore it. What is it?"

Sai nods. "Since you're the only commander here, some of the men are waiting for orders."

Kakashi sighs. "Do nothing." Everyone shows surprise at that response. Kakashi, in his usual lazy manner, explains. "Soon enough, Naruto is going to get Obito back to us." He glances at Sakura. "Sakura: You're going to transplant his eyes into me." He looks at Tenten. "You have the treasure tools of the sage? Keep them handy. You're with me now."

Tenten tenses up. "Okay!"

Kakashi looks to Sai. "While I'm getting used to his eyes, I'll need some protecting. You and Lee will handle that." Sai nods and moves over to collect Lee. Kakashi turns to Hinata. "Your father can keep your clan organized. I need you to keep me updated personally on Naruto and Sasuke."

Hinata glances back at the fight. "Here he comes!"

The group turns to find Naruto approaching with Obito in tow. He speeds in and lands. Everyone gasps at Naruto's sage look. "I got him. He should live."

"Thank you, Naruto" Kakashi speaks. "How's the fight?"

Naruto sighs, crossing his arms behind his head to get comfortable. "Bastard's tough. All the powers of Pain, the Ten Tails, and even people like Danzo and the first."

A groan is heard, the two glancing down at Obito. "... I'm alive?"

Naruto smirks while Kakashi stares down at him. "How are you feeling?"

Obito doesn't move, but keeps talking. "Speaking from experience, I've felt worse. The fight's still going?" They nod. He closes his eyes to think.

Naruto nods. "The real me is going to need the extra chakra." He catches a glance with Sakura, Sai, Hinata, Lee, and Tenten. He smiles and gives a thumbs up before disappearing.

Obito states plainly. "You plan to take my eyes?"

Eyes go to Kakashi who stares down at Obito. No response.

"Take them." Obito answers. "My body is too battered. Even with what Naruto did to help me, I'll die from the ten tails being ripped from me." He looks with a small smile. "Protect the Leaf."

"Obito..." Kakashi mutters. He looks at Sakura. "Do it. Now."

Sakura straightens up. "Right!"

Just as Sakura and Kakashi take Obito into a set up tent to perform the surgery, Hinata turns and stares at the fight with wide eyes. A massive light shining. "What?"

. . . . .

The light fades, the three fall to the ground in three thuds. Sasuke opens his eyes slowly, before noticing his vision slightly different.

Or... like it was. His eyes widen. Damn it, I overused my eye. He notices off the reflection of his sword that his eyes have reverted back to their Eternal Mangekyo state. "Naruto, we need to-" His eyes widen. That seal took too much power.

Naruto gets his barrings, already noticing the problem. He's back in his regular Kyuubi mode cloak, no longer having the power of the other either tailed beasts. The two glance at Madara, seeing him standing shirtless with black hair again. On his stomach, the same seal that used to be on Naruto was visible. They've all reverted! Madara glances at his hands, shock on his face.

However, the three didn't waste any time. Madara barely registers as Naruto speeds in, throwing a giant chakra fist. Madara dodges back, bringing up a wood style root to his left, Sasuke striking against the wood with a Chidori and slowly ripping through.

Just as Sasuke rips through, Madara takes advantage of the extra time the wood bought sweeping out Sasuke's leg. Sasuke flips back onto his feet, wielding his sword in one hand and a Chidori Sharp Spear in the other. A wood snake rips from the ground below Madara's feet, sending him into the air to fly.

A yellow blur speeds up the wood, Naruto dashing in behind Madara. Madara ducks a punch as Naruto misses and rolls away from Madara before charging back with a large chakra fist. A blue Susanoo arm catches the yellow fist as a second arm bashes Naruto, resulting in a poof. Madara turns, seeing Naruto with a Rasengan. Madara back flips off the wood snake as the Rasengan destroys it. Another wood style tree grows as he lands on it and starts running to dodge three black fire arrows from Sasuke.

Sasuke speeds under the growing wood over head. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" He fires while running, the massive fireball destroying the wood as Madara flies up into the sky. Madara finishes his hand signs as Sasuke follows up.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"

"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!"

Sasuke pulls back his wrist warmers, revealing the seal slots he had when he fought Itachi. From the seals, two Demon Wind Shuriken appear. He throws them through the flames at Madara.

The flame attacks clash, the two massive Shuriken closing in on Madara. He twists his body mid air to dodge the two, a smirk on his face until he sees Naruto above him, catching both. Naruto grips them as all four blades on each shuriken light and extend with wind chakra. Now, Naruto throws them at Madara.

Despite trying to dodge, the wind blades slash at Madara, causing him to grunt in pain. Suddenly, his body disappears.

"Huh?" Naruto lets out before panicking. Izanagi!

He turns right into Madara's hand. "Almighty Push!" Naruto is launched away into a far off massive growing tree, a huge break in the tree where Naruto hits.

Madara forms his Susanoo skeleton around him as he falls, Sasuke speeding in to where he'll land. Forming two Chidoris, Sasuke leaps into the air, breaking through the Susanoo skeleton, but missing Madara. Sasuke ends up above Madara. "Twin Lightning Shiver!"

The attack bashes into the arms of Madara's forming Susanoo. At first piercing through, suddenly the arms grow to a massive scale, throwing Sasuke high into the sky. He finds himself staring at a giant full armored blue Susanoo with a sword in hand. Madara swings at Sasuke, who responds with his own fully armor full susanoo rapidly growing out from him. The purple Susanoo raises a sword of its own to block the attack as it lands in front of the blue. Sasuke takes his giant bow arm, creating a massive black flame arrow and punching the bow into the blue Susanoo's stomach before firing the arrow point blank. The explosion blows the Susanoo open at the hip, making it stumble back to reform.

Sasuke's sword arm of his Susanoo attacks, but a massive growth of Wood Stye grows to block the hit and grip Sasuke in place. Madara's Susanoo sprints around the Wood, sword arm raised to cut Sasuke's Susanoo, and Sasuke, in half. "Shit!"

From the side, Naruto roars in with his fully formed yellow Kurama form. The mouth open and attacking like an animal. It clamps it's mouth on Madara's sword arm and wrenches Madara's Susanoo off balance before clawing it in the chest. The fox pulls, ripping the sword arm off as Madara steps back, balancing himself. The sword arm reforms.

Sasuke rips from the previous Wood Style, sprinting in and clashes swords Madara. Naruto's Fox mode runs in from behind, running up Sasuke's Susanoo's back, up, over, and comes down on Madara, ripping open the chest of Madara's Susanoo and pinning it to the ground.

A massive branch of Wood breaks from the ground, bashing the Fox off the blue reforming Susanoo as it rolls to its knees and slashes at the purple, the sword slashing open Sasuke's Susanoo.

Madara takes the moment to leap back, only half his Susanoo staying with him as he lands on a growing tree. Naruto and Sasuke look around to find Wood Style all around the battlefield. Naruto and Sasuke shut down their giant forms and land next to each other as the wood style closes in from all sides.

Naruto holds up his left hand. Sasuke holds up his right. Above their hands, a Rasengan forms. As it forms, it turns into a Rasenshuriken. After that, it turns burning red as it sets on fire. Finally, half the flames in the growing technique turn black.

"Wind Style:"

"Fire Style:"

Both yell together "Rasenferno!"

Both manipulate the wind and fire as it explodes up and out, spiraling into a flaming tornado around the two. The attack blocks the incoming Wood Style before it explodes outward to engulf all the wood in fire.

As the flames calm, Naruto and Sasuke look up to see Madara's Susanoo with four arms and two faces. Each side doing the same hand sign. "Oh shit." Naruto mutters and looks up.

From the clouds above, Sasuke sees a massive meteor appear as it falls. Madara smirks. Without the Ten Tails, I should conserve chakra. Only one meteor should do.

Naruto and Sasuke frown, but stand strong. "Just a hunk of earth, right?" Naruto mocks. "Time for the other combo."

Naruto and Sasuke bring their hands up again, another new technique forming in their hands. The spiraling chakra sparks and erupts in electricity.

Earth is weak to lightning, after all.

Naruto and Sasuke wait for the meteor to close on them, eclipsing the sky before they throw their hands up. Sasuke grunts. "Does it HAVE to have a name?"

Naruto smiles. "Have some spirit."
"Wind Style:"
"Lightning Style:"
"RASENSTORM!"

From their hands, a spiraling storm of lightning bolts erupts and pierces into the meteor, breaking apart rock and earth and ripping the entire mass apart from the inside. The technique stops as the meteor overhead cracks apart, several holes through it and the center of it completely gone.

Naruto and Sasuke exchange a glance and a nod, a plan in mind. Sasuke bites his thumb. "Summoning Jutsu!"

A large hawk appears, Naruto's eyes going wide. "Wait! I thought you used snakes..."

"I have two contracts." He says simply.

Naruto frowns. "I thought you could only have one..."

"Get going."

The blonde leaps onto the massive bird as it flies into the air. A voice catches Sasuke's attention. "If he's running, he's only smart." Madara approaches slowly, the seal on his stomach seeming slightly burned off at the sides. "This seal won't last too much longer. Without your Rinnegan and his Senjutsu, you're powerless to stop me."

Sasuke doesn't even bat and eye lash as he forms his full Susanoo. Madara responds in kind, his own matching Sasuke's size.

"You know what the difference between us is?"

Sasuke ignores him, his Susanoo clashing and matching Madara's in power as they struggle with swords.

"You've reached the pinnacle of the power of the Uchiha clan." Madara smirks madly. "I've surpassed that power."

Wood grows out from Madara's body, extending all through his Susanoo. The wood grows to fill the inside of the massive warrior, creating a Wood Style skeleton throughout the whole body. Sasuke grunts as his Susanoo is overpowered and pushed back.

The Wood suddenly spikes out from the Susanoo, piercing and damaging Sasuke's. His mind flashed to his knowledge of Kimimaro's bone Kekkei Genkai. The Wood rips Sasuke's Susanoo as Madara overpowers him and shoves him back as his Susanoo is smashed into the side of a mountain.

Madara grins wildly as Sasuke's Susanoo starts to crack apart. "Any last words. With my power, I am nothing less than a god. After all, if any real god should exist, where is he? Has he abandoned this world? Would he strike me down where I am?" He shakes his head. "No more. You've been amusing, but I'm done with you."

Sasuke smirks. "Do you hear it? The sound."

Madara stops, confused. "Hmm?" Suddenly, there's a few flashes from above, followed by the sound of thunder. He looks up. "What?"

Sasuke smiles. "After all the fire attacks that have been thrown around, this storm is so large. This would be the strongest move I've ever done. Thanks to Naruto, it'll dwarf even that."

Madara's eyes widen as he glances into the sky.

Far off in the clouds, the hawk flew in place, Naruto sitting on its back in his sage pose, eyes closed.

Madara's eyes widen as he sees that Naruto isn't gathering nature chakra... He's spreading it through the clouds. Lightning crackles several times, except not lightning. Madara saw that it was pure black. He looks down to Sasuke.

Sasuke stares emotionless at Madara. "Witness true power, so called 'god', and bow." He raises his hand, a Chidori appearing. "Begone, with a thunder clap." The entirety of the lightning above gathers in a tempest above. "KIRIN!"

The black lightning gathers at the face of a great beast appears as the head of it all. In a single flash, the blast wipes out all of Madara's Susanoo, Woodstyle, Sasuke's Susanoo, and the mountain and landscape around them.

In an instant, the storm above dissipates as Naruto and the hawk land. They find Sasuke, standing like nothing happened, though obviously damaged.

Naruto looked wide eyed. "How are you alive?"

Sasuke sighed. "It was my lightning. I could protect myself. Though it didn't hit with the full effect."

Naruto was about to ask, but then the smoke cleared to reveal Madara, also damaged with blood dripping from his mouth. His smile was still there.

Sasuke answered. "He used Almighty Push and maxed its power. Didn't you say that would increase the cooldown?"

"Yeah, he won't be able to do it again for about five minutes. Damn, I thought we got him."

Madara chuckled. "Very impressive. One of the most glorious attacks I think I've ever seen." He smiles. "I think you two are the best opponents I could ever face. I dare say this fight is more fun than facing Hashirama."

Naruto glanced at Sasuke. "How long until your eye comes back?"

"About thirty seconds."

"How long until his seal is gone?"

"About 27 seconds."

"What?! How can we get any chakra from the other tailed beasts for me?"

Sasuke frowns. "Always a pain. I'm running dangerously low on chakra too. I'll need some as well."

Naruto and Sasuke get ready and launch themselves at Madara. Sasuke and Naruto cross sides. Naruto runs forward, but Madara forms half his Susanoo. "Yasaka Magatama!" The blue projectiles fire at Naruto. Sasuke speeds under the Susanoo and closes the distance. Madara smiles and forms a Wood Style blade out from his arm and swings at Sasuke.

Suddenly, a yellow flash appears. Naruto, wielding Sasuke's sword, blocks the wood sword. Naruto's remaining fox chakra connects him to Sasuke, who's holding Naruto's FTG kunai. Sasuke smacks his palm into Madara's stomach, right on the nearly destroyed seal.

. . . . .

In Madara's mind, it looks much like Naruto's once did. Madara's inner mind stands in front of a massive cage, one much MUCH larger than the one Naruto had for Kurama. In the center, his inner self was attempting to remove the seal. "Finally!" His hand grips the seal on the cage as it starts to come off.

Just before it comes off, a hand clamps onto Madara's wrist, stopping him as he's faced with Sasuke. From behind, Naruto runs past the two, having been brought in by his connection to Sasuke. He sprints dead ahead, entering through the large gaps in the cage. "Guys! I need your chakra now!"

In response, a mass of red chakra closes in around Naruto as he runs towards it. Madara's eyes widen. "I have to stop him!" He forces through Sasuke's grip as pulls the seal off...

. . . . .

"How is it?" Sakura asks, leaving the tent. Behind her, her sensei stumbles out, hand over his eye and hair down over his face. His headband was taken off during the surgery.

He opens his eyes, the Sharingan deactivated. He glanced around. "And they're sore, but should adjust. Thank you, Sakura."

Sakura smiles, but Lee comes in. "Come on! We should be moving out to help Naruto and Sasuke!"

"I agree." Tenten voices. "We shouldn't be leaving them to something like that."

Sai looks at Kakashi. "With two Sharingan, can you not make a difference in their battle."

Kakashi looks at them all, considering their words.

"No..." Sakura mutters. "We shouldn't interfere. Not yet."

"Sakura?" Lee asks. "Why-"

Hinata interrupts. "It's Naruto and Sasuke. Those two have never once failed to push the odds on their own. Together, I believe they can do it."

Tenten frowns. "I know you love him, but he's not invincible."

Sakura gives a small weary laugh. Everyone looks to her, confused. Sakura looks up with a tired smile. "We're talking about two guys who, after being fresh from the academy, outsmarted and outmaneuvered a Jonin rogue ninja." Kakashi thinks back to Zabuza while the others listen.

Sakura continues. "Two guys who were key to defeating a tailed beast during their first Chunin Exam attempt." She recalled Sasuke telling her how Naruto finished Gaara and how Sasuke had fought Gaara starting out. "Two guys who, as Genin, defeated a Jonin criminal who stole the Sword of the Thunder God." She recalled Sasuke's chidori cracking the blade before Naruto's Rasengan broke it to beat the man.

"After years apart, each surpassed their master with ease and defeated the last of their remaining relatives who formed the top tier of Akatsuki." The faces of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Itachi, and Pain came to mind for everyone. "And after all that? After promising to fight each other, the first time they're on the same side, they overwhelm a jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails."

Everyone thinks of the man in the tent who just lost his own eyes. Hinata smiles and finishes. "It's as Sakura says. For those two..."

They both say. "Together, it's physically impossible for them to lose."

. . . . .

A eruption of power cracks the ground apart and pushes all the uplifted smoke, dust, and debris away. Madara grunts before looking down, finding himself in his Ten Tails form yet again. He frowns. "I feel... much weaker than before."

He glances up, seeing Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto is back in his own Ten Tails form while Sasuke's Rinnegan and straight comma Sharingan are back. Naruto smiles. "Back to full power. Think we have enough?"

Sasuke thinks a moment. "We've taken chakra from him twice. That last time we took a lot more. I'd say stamina wise, we're even now."

Naruto grins, handing Sasuke his sword back while Sasuke passes Naruto's FTG kunai back. "Let's kick his ass."

. . . . .

Hinata's eyes widen. "All three are back in their top forms. The fighting just started again."

Sai sighs. "I guess we would have arrived too late for Kakashi to help kill Madara anyway."

Sakura just finished giving Kakashi a full chakra recharge before joining the others. Kakashi glanced in the direction of the battle. "What happened with the Spiral Zetsu? The third was facing him, correct?"

"That fight ended a while ago." A new voice sounded. Kakashi turned to see the three that arrived with Orochimaru and Sasuke. The white haired ninja had responded. "We helped bring him down, but the spiral guy was only wrapped around some other guy's body. The Zetsu got away."

"It was Yamato sensei." Tenten answered. Kakashi, Sai, and Sakura reacted to that, but calmed.

Kakashi mutters. "Then we still have enemies around."

"Yes. You do." A black hand seemingly rips through Kakashi's chest from behind. Everyone gasps and is shocked to see Obito as the perpetrator.

"Kakashi sensei!" Sakura screams.

Lee looks at Obito. "Half his body is black again!"

Black zetsu's voice responds. "Oh, Obito's not in control right now. He won't be resisting me anymore either. After all,"

A white zetsu comes up from the ground, covering the other half of Obito's body before a spiral mask forms over Obito's face. The Spiral Zetsu's 'Tobi' voice comes in. "Two Zetsu are better than one!" A cloak covers over Obito's body. The only evidence of Black Zetsu's presence is his left arm and foot being jet black.

Kakashi moved suddenly, eyes activated as his body is now intangible. He escapes from the arm and whips around, Chidori in hand, but Zetsu moves back, suddenly finding himself surrounded by Sakura, Hinata, Lee, Sai, Tenten, Karin, Suigetsu, Jugo, and Kakashi.

Kakashi mutters. "Leave him to me." Within an instant, Kakashi disappears in contorting space before reappearing behind Zetsu, his hand clamping down on the enemy's shoulder. Kakashi's two Sharingan were fully activated. "My turn with this." With that, Zetsu is warped away with Kakashi.

. . . . .

Kakashi and Zetsu separate away from each other, now in the alternate dimension connected to Obito's eyes. Tobi laughs. "Uh oh? You're not going to leave me here, right?"

Kakashi shakes his head. "I know the weakness of these eyes. If I simply leave you here, you'll attack me anytime I use Obito's eye. Likewise, if we fight in the regular world, you can escape nearly anytime. Here, I'm going to kill you."

Black laughs lowly. "Smarter than you seem, but just because you have those eyes doesn't mean you'll win." Tobi laughs as Wood Style grows out from his body, turning his right arm into a spike. From his body, a mass of Wood Style forms, growing into a large buddha structure with five heads.

Kakashi simply stares ahead with half closed eyes.

Black asks. "Do you have no senses? You see that you can't win?"

Tobi adds. "Oh, black Zetsu senpai! He must be afraid." His head cocked to the side in an awkward way, goofy just like when Obito appeared to halt their advance while searching for Itachi.

Kakashi's eyes close. "No, I simply don't care how strong you are." Zetsu seemed alarmed at that. Kakashi's eyes open up as the red seems to glow from them. "You're using my friend, so now you've pissed me off."

Chakra suddenly surges out from Kakashi's body. Zetsu realizes he's been caught in a genjutsu, because for a second, Kakashi's image is replaced with Might Guy. "First Gate of Opening: . . . Release."

With a blinding burst of speed, Kakashi charges his Chidori and smashes through the top of the five head buddha, kicking Zetsu straight out of his defense. Kakashi stands on the buddha, forming hand signs.

Zetsu rolls to his feet as more Wood forms from his body. Suddenly, a cloud forms around him from Kakashi. Before he loses sight, Kakashi's image is replaced with the image of Asuma Sarutobi.

"Fire Style: Burning Ash." Kakashi takes two kunai and clashes them together to make a spark, igniting the whole ash cloud.

Zetsu blocks most of the explosion with his wood, but loses track of Kakashi. He backs himself against a tree, but the tree seemingly engulfs him. Tobi screams. "AHH! What? Why is it turning against me?"

Black calls out. "Genjutsu!" Kakashi's hand comes out with a kunai as he slashes through Zetsu's layer of Wood around his body. He could see the image of Kurenai Yuhi around him as well. He breaks from the genjutsu and jumps away and sends a wood dragon at Kakashi.

This time, the image of Minato Namikaze appears around him, using his new eyes to port away to dodge the attack. Zetsu looks around as the new portal forms above, Kakashi coming down with a Rasengan in hand. He smashes Zetsu into the ground. Wood rises from the ground below the two, attempting to grab and crush Kakashi, but he jumps away. Zetsu gets up groggily. "Ow..." He tries to chase, but can't move.

Black asks. "What?" He looks to see a connecting shadow to Kakashi, who's image is now Shikaku Naru.

Kakashi stares back. "Didn't you know?" His image changes to Inoichi Yamanaka. Suddenly, both Zetsu are wracked with mental attacks and pains, two mind clone presences inside their heads. Kakashi simply adds. "I've copied over 1000 ninjutsu."

Kakashi suddenly bursts towards the incapacitated enemy. Black Zetsu shakes off the mind clone and creates Wood Style, which comes up to wrap around Kakashi just as he's closing the distance. Kakashi throws a punch, but the wood ties him in place just before it hits. Black mocks. "You can't win- Huh?"

Kakashi's fist was now an open palm, the image of Hiashi Hyuga visible now. His palm lights up with chakra before releasing an Air Palm Strike that launches Zetsu across the land scape. Kakashi teleports away with his eye power.

Zetsu rolls to his feet, Tobi complaining. "We need to get out of here!" Zetsu starts to morph into the ground, his method of travel. However-

"Striking Shadow Snake!" Four snakes latch onto Zetsu from behind, the image of Anko Mitarashi before showing Kakashi using the snake technique. With one pull, Zetsu is wrenched from the ground before getting whipped into the ground away from Kakashi. Kakashi speaks plainly. "You're not getting away."

Zetsu roars up, a mass of wood forming around it as five wood dragon heads form along the ground. Each dragon releases a blast: Fire Style, Water Style, Earth Style, Lightning Style, Wind Style.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu." Four more Kakashis appear as each does different signs. Each one releases its own elemental attack. Zetsu looks to see Kakashi's image replaced with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kakashi releases his attacks, attacking each blast with its weakness: Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind, and Fire. His attacks pierce through all the attacks Zetsu just released as all five hits rocket him away. Zetsu lands, having avoided damage. The area seems covered with debris as Zetsu tries to hide.

The dust and debris seems to thicken... wait, it's not a dust cloud. An object hits the ground in front of Zetsu. "Huh? A storage scroll?" Tobi asks. He looks back up, seeing nothing as everything is obscured by a massive mist.

Black comments. "Hidden Mist Jutsu? How will this help a Sharingan user?"

In answer, a large slash tears through Zetsu's back. He falls to the ground, seeing Kakashi, and the image of Zabuza Momochi, wielding the Executioner's Blade. Zetsu covers his wound with wood and creates armor around his whole body and attacks.

Kakashi suddenly charges lightning through the buster sword sized blade and swings it easily, slicing through the armor and leaving a wound on Zetsu's chest. Zetsu is forced back, Tobi panicking. "Wait Wait! What about your friend? He'll die if you attack any more."

Kakashi doesn't even hesitate, his palm smacking into Tobi's mask like face. Kakashi's eye activates as Tobi's body becomes intangible. Kakashi pulls Tobi out from Obito in one move, Tobi hitting the ground in confusion. He looks up to see Kakashi swinging his massive sword. In one move, the spiral mask Zetsu is cleaved in two, lightning sparking through it before it falls, dead.

Kakashi turns to see Obito's body still half covered in Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu seems to panic and jump back. "If you move an inch, Obito's life is history."

Kakashi glares, but Obito's voice interrupts the fighting. "Do it, Kakashi." Kakashi's glare turns into a look of shock. Despite black Zetsu covering half his face, Obito's smile is seen. "Use my power. End him. Let me … be with Rin."

Zetsu reacts before Kakashi, creating a mass of Wood Style around him before it attacks Kakashi. However, the attack is halted in its tracks. Zetsu looks, only to end up in horror.

Around Kakashi, white chakra begins to pour out. Kakashi glances up with glowing red eyes as a skeleton begins to form around him. Suddenly, the white chakra takes form, an arm appearing as a body grows out from Kakashi.

The massive chakra arm bashes the wood aside. Suddenly, a fully armored half Susanoo forms, a scar on its left eye to match Kakashi. Between its hands, a hail of Yasaka Magatama form. The attack launches, completely obliterating the Wood Style around Zetsu and sending him skidding across the ground. Kakashi places the Executioner's Blade on his back before disappearing. Zetsu tries to get up before a strike hits.

Zetsu slowly looks down to see a Chidori going through his half of Obito's body. He then looks up to see Kakashi, staring sadly at Obito's face. Obito, however, held only a smile. Zetsu feels the hit as well as the black slowly falls off Obito's body, dissolving into a mass on the ground. Kakashi pulls his Chidori out and holds up Obito's body, sadness clearly there despite the victory.

. . . . .

"Kakashi sensei!" Sakura calls, her mentor appearing with Obito's body. "What happened?"

"Zetsu is gone." Kakashi says simply, laying Obito's body down. Sakura sees the hole in his chest, instantly knowing how her sensei must feel. Kakashi asks wearily. "Naruto and Sasuke?"

As if on cue, a massive explosion blinds everyone as the shock wave creates a massive gust of wind, blowing against the army. Kakashi's eyes widen in shock seeing as the explosion seemed to be several miles away. The power was making several ninja panic.

"We're all going to die!" "Are they monsters?" "This is the power of gods."

Sakura sighs. "The fight's been going at this pace for a while, but the fight seems evenly matched."

. . . . .

The earth across the battlefield cracks apart with a giant plume of debris. From the debris cloud, a large hawk soars out, Sasuke on top of it, as it speeds along the ground like a missile. From the debris behind him, dozens of wood dragons soar out after the hawk along with three TSBs.

The hawk starts dodging back and forth, evading the wood dragons while Sasuke's Susanoo arm parries several others. The TSBs turn into massive shuriken, homing in on Sasuke as the hawk shoots up into the sky. Sasuke's Susanoo forms as he arms an arrow and fires into the middle of the three attacks. The TSB ruptures and explodes, knocking the other two away.

Madara speeds through the air after Sasuke. His Rinnegan activates another power, the Asura Path, as his arm morphs into technology and turns into a cannon. He charges up a mass of chakra before firing a massive bijuu bomb from the arm.

The bomb closes in on Sasuke, but the FTG kunai zips by it. Naruto appears in front of the bomb and takes a lesson from Tobirama Senju. The bomb is suddenly teleported, coming down from the sky where another Naruto had his own kunai ready for the move.

The bomb attack smacks into Madara, creating a blast that would wipe out the landscape, had it not already been reduced to a flattened desert. The blast of chakra suddenly sucks in as Madara uses his Preta Path power to absorb his own attack back.

He whips around, his canon charging up the same blast again, but one of Naruto's chakra rods homes in from the side and lodges itself in the cannon. Madara grunts and looks up, seeing a bijuu bomb coming at him from Naruto. Madara scoffs and sends out a Limbo clone as it takes the hit, the massive explosion occurring just barely not reaching the Uchiha.

Madara pulls Naruto's rod out of his arm, but finally notices that the rod's energy is rupturing. His eyes widen before the blast hits him point blank.

Naruto appears far off, smirking with the hit, but his sage senses tip him off. Madara appears from below, having used Izanagi to avoid the damage. The land splits apart as a massive tree grows up to engulf Naruto. The blonde easily turns into his massive fox form, smashing down onto the growing tree and ripping it apart. From the fox's mouth, a giant tailed beast Rasengan forms. It charges mouth first at Madara.

Madara frowns, his entire arm lighting up with chakra to create a massive beam of lightning, preemptively striking the attack before Naruto can reach him. The massive fox explodes as the Rasengan is destroyed. Naruto flying back from the hit and wiping blood from his mouth.

Madara smirks and charges his cannon arm again. He charges lightning into it and fires a more powerful blast than before. However, this time, the blast is intercepted by a giant black fire arrow. The blast blows Naruto and Madara away from each other as Sasuke and his hawk regroup with Naruto.

Only one option. Time for scheme hatchery! "Naruto, can I get a sample of your blood?"

"EH?! What do you need that for?"

"A precaution. Don't argue."

Naruto sighs, wiping more blood from his mouth. He pulls out a regular kunai and wipes the blood on the kunai, tossing it over to Sasuke. "What now?"

Sasuke takes the kunai as a snake comes out from his shirt sleeve and eats it. "Now, get me close."

Naruto smiles. "Easy. Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Three clones appear with him as all four charge dead ahead.

Madara looks up to the oncoming threat. He extends both arms forward, the Asura Path activating to the fullest. Both arms become cannons with several side guns coming out as the biceps and shoulders. The main cannons start firing bijuu bombs while the supplementary guns fire various Fire Style, Lightning Style, and Wind Style attacks. Madara's face lights up with glee as he unleashes the trigger happy assault.

Naruto and his clones spread out and start throwing their kunai. As the barrage of attacks fly through, Naruto and his clones begin dodging in a flurry of yellow flash teleports, making his way through the entire assault as a line of atomic bomb level explosions follows him.

Two of the clones get hit before the last takes a hit for the real one. The real Naruto uses the Flying Thunder God to close the distance with Madara. He jumps over a last bijuu bomb blasts, flipping over and coming down on Madara with a giant Rasengan. A Susanoo arm, blackened by the power of the Ten Tails, forms and blocks the Rasengan. The attack smashes the Susanoo arm off, but Madara counter attacks with his staff.

Suddenly, Naruto is replaced with Sasuke, using his Rinnegan. The young Uchiha clashes sword to staff as two snakes shoot from his sleeves. Madara's eyes widen as each snake latches onto a side of his neck. Now that he's stunned, Sasuke decides to form a black flame sword with his off hand to slash at Madara. The blade slash gashes Madara all the way through to his spine, a large burst of blood coming out.

Sasuke tries to follow up, but Madara's Susanoo arm bashes Sasuke back. Sasuke's hawk catches him in mid air, Naruto flying to Sasuke's side. "You got him!"

Madara lands on the ground, dripping blood and grunting in pain. He looks up with pain in his eyes. However, his body starts to regenerate fast. Sasuke calls out. "Get him quick!"

He and Naruto split apart, Sasuke leaping off his hawk and forming his full Rinnegan Susanoo. His Susanoo forms a giant black Chidori in its hand. Naruto forms his giant fox mode, forming a massive bijuu bomb Rasengan.

The two move in from both sides on the heavily injured Madara. Madara looks to each side, not ready to perform another Izanagi. He grits his teeth as he throws his arms out, hoping the five minutes for his Deva Path are up. "ALMIGHTY PUSH!" With the power of the Ten Tails behind the technique, Madara completely overpowers and beats back both giant opponents and their ultimate attacks.

The massive wave shakes the land, an earthquake felt by the entire Allied Shinobi Forces. After the attack, Madara stands, breathing in and out with blood coming from his mouth, but his chest wound closed. His body healed, he looks at his hands. "I don't quite believe it. Even the power of the Ten Tails seems to be coming quite close to its limits." He looks to each side, seeing massive trenches leading to each of his opponents. "Fortunately, it seems they will be dealt with before I run out of chakra."

Naruto gets up as one of his TSB is swapped and Sasuke lands with him. Both are incredibly winded, breathing heavily. "We have to outlast him." Naruto mutters. "We can't give up."

Sasuke looks at him, his poker face up. "Ready for a team attack?"

Naruto and Sasuke slowly step next to each other. "Same as Obito." Both grunt as they light up with chakra. A massive fox forms as the Susanoo armor forms as well. The fox forms fully, Naruto and Sasuke in the head. On its back, a massive crossbow forms on its back like a mounted turret while one massive Susanoo arms, having a black flame sword, appears on the side.

Madara smiles. "Interesting. I'll show you mine." Suddenly, a massive plume of chakra bubbles out from Madara. It starts to take a vague shape indescribable until it finishes. Naruto and Sasuke both gasp at seeing a massive chakra Ten Tails, the original version when it first formed, covered in a black armor Susanoo. The mouth of the massive form begins charging a massive tailed beast bomb larger than ever seen. Madara smiles madly. "Come and challenge me."

Naruto and Sasuke take the challenge head on, the massive fox's mouth open with a Tailed Beast Rasengan. The crossbow forms a massive black flame arrow with a tailed beast bomb arrow head. The sword on the side flare with black fire and black lightning together. The fox lurches forward into a full sprint towards its massive opponent.

The fox closes the distance quicker and quicker as Naruto and Sasuke yell out together as they charge. Madara smiles as the fox and his tailed beast Susanoo clash. The fox hits with its Rasengan, sword, and bomb arrow at the same time. Madara releases his own attack point blank on them with a massive smile.

. . . . .

"GET DOWN!" Hinata yells out.

"TAKE COVER!" Kakashi echoes out for everyone to hear.

Within an instant, a massive explosion fills the entire horizon, the blast literally sending people flying as everyone gets as low and possible and grabs on.

Sakura yells out and punches the ground, the large rocks tanking the shock wave as she hides behind it. Tenten summons several chain weapons and hooks them around various rocks and holds on, grabbing Lee's hand so he doesn't end up a mile away. Sai anchors himself down with several ink snakes burrowing into the ground. Hinata blocks the blast with a Rotation. Jugo's curse seal chakra changes his body as he anchors himself, both Suigetsu and Karin hanging off him. Kakashi simply uses Obito's eyes to turn intangible during the blast, standing still and staring at the massive blinding light in the distance.

Just as quickly as it came, it went, everyone recovering from the giant blast that nearly wiped out the camp. Everyone looks around, making sure others are okay. Kakashi and Sakura glance at Hinata. "What happened?"

Hinata looks with her Byakugon before gasping. She clamps her mouth as her eyes widen. "N... Naruto."

. . . . .

Nothing but destruction. A massive bottomless trench extended out farther than eyes could see. The sounds of cracking earth and falling rocks still echoed. Suddenly, the trench seemed to start filling with water, showing that the trench extended all the way to the ocean!

An extremely tired, extremely throaty chuckle was heard. Floating above the massive trench, Madara snickered. His body was ripped up, dripping blood, but slowly healing. His white cloak was mostly shredded off. All his TSBs are gone now. He chuckles, nonetheless. He looks over to one side of the trench. Sure enough, there were Naruto and Sasuke.

Both were now completely powerless. Sasuke's Rinnegan was taxxed again. Naruto's tailed beast cloak was completely gone. His Sage mode was still active, but his body was torn apart, as was Sasuke's.

Naruto steps forward. "D..Damn it!" Sasuke doesn't add anything, but his face shows anger.

Madara lowers in front of them. "Well, I must commend you two. Had your attack been the least bit stronger, I'd be dead." He chuckles. "You are the strongest ninja I've ever seen. It's just too bad that neither of you will live to see the Moon's Eye Plan come to fruition."

Naruto forms a Rasengan as Sasuke forms a Chidori. "Like hell we'll let you do that!"

Sasuke frowns. "Even if we die, you still won't win." Madara looks over, confused.

Naruto boasts. "By now, Kakashi has Obito's eyes. I'd say he can use Susanoo just like you can by now. Even with your power, your body's condition is clear. With the army backing him, you still won't win, Madara."

The elder Uchiha grins wide. "Hm. An interesting notion." He shuts his eyes to think it over. "I might entertain the idea, actually, but first things first."

Naruto and Sasuke both charge.
"RASENGAN!"
"CHIDORI!"

Suddenly, both are halted. Sasuke's eyes widen. "Shit!" Both Naruto and Sasuke are restrained from behind by Limbo clones.

Madara smiles. "And that's the end for you." Both Naruto and Sasuke jolt as they look down. Two black Susanoo blades pierce both of them, running them through. "Goodbye, Naruto Uzumaki. Goodbye, Sasuke Uchiha." Madara smiles as their Rasengan and Chidori fade and both crumple over. He chuckles.

Madara then gets an idea. "I should keep their bodies. Yes, even use the Impure World Resurrection to make them my lieutenants! That would be a fitting way to crush their faith in their army."

He turns in the direction of the Allied forces before noticing something. "Hm? He turns, looking at the two bodies. Suddenly, both bodies begin to dissolve. "What is this?" He asks, genuinely curious.

A voice is heard in his head. "A trap."

Madara's eyes bug out as he screams in pain, falling to his knees. His body numbs. He can't find the source of the pain. He looks down at his body, seeing the sage mode marks from the sage mode he stole from Hashirama. No... those were different. He looks at his arms, finding the same markings. "What?! What is this?! When did-" He suddenly realizes with another burst of pain.

Sasuke's snakes... what did they do?

Madara's back shows clear, revealing two Curse Seals of Heaven, one on each shoulder. Both marks activate fully. Suddenly, from the mark on the left, Sasuke rips free from Madara's body. From the mark on the right, Naruto rips free.

Both teens land and turn back, Naruto still in his Ten Tail form, and Sasuke still with his Rinnegan. Madara gasps for breath as the pain recedes. "What? How is this possible?"

Sasuke simply stares. "My master is more than a little obsessed with immortality." He looks at Naruto. "Has enough time passed?"

Naruto smiles. "I think so!"

Madara gets up. "Just what else are you planning?"

Naruto gives him a thumbs up. "You think Sasuke's the only one who learned something from his master?" He looks up. "Do it now!"

Madara looks up, shock on his face. Above him, two hawks floated, rather smaller than the one Sasuke had earlier. On one, the Toad Sage Fukasaku stood. On the other, Shima. Both charged up and released their best attack. Frog Song...

Naruto and Sasuke jump back as possibly one of the best genjutsus hits Madara head on. The attack hits fully as Madara releases one scream before falling forward. Naruto gives the frogs a thumbs up as he and Sasuke dismiss the summons.

Sasuke glares forward. "Not done." Naruto glanced over.

Madara's body disappears before appearing again. Izanagi again. Naruto growls. "That's really starting to get old."

Madara smiles. "Ready to finish this?"

Naruto sighs. "I only have one maneuver's worth of chakra left from the tailed beast. After that, I'm done."

Sasuke nods. "My Rinnegan has one more space shift left before it goes away again." He analyzes Madara. "Fortunately, I think Madara's Ten Tails chakra is at its limit too. Can't believe I'm asking this, but you have any ideas?"

Naruto looks ahead a few moments, then smiles. "You'll like this." He smiles. "Let's run wild." Naruto runs his chakra rods into the ground by Sasuke and does his signature. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Suddenly, a hundred clones appear.

All the clones rush Madara. The Uchiha smiles as his black Susanoo arms slash out, bashing the entire army of clones back. Madara floats up into the air. "Is that all? Huh?"

Sasuke throws Naruto's chakra rod with pin point accuracy. It closes in on Madara, radiating power.

The Uchiha smiles. "Almighty Push!" His blast deflects the rod with ease. However, from behind it, Sasuke's sword soars through at Madara. "A second throw? I'll admit my regeneration is at its limit, but if you expect that to wound me..." He swiftly plucks the sword out from the air. "you're mistaken- Huh?"

A second chakra rod comes, hidden in the shadow of Sasuke's sword. Madara smirks. Enough games. Madara simply leans back as the rod flies past him. He glances back at Sasuke. "Is that all?"

Suddenly, the rod poofs behind him, revealing the real Naruto. Naruto swiftly attacks the off guard Uchiha, immediately slashing through Madara's side with his father's kunai.

Of course, Madara's body disappears, using his other eye's Izanagi and dropping Sasuke's sword. Madara appears behind Naruto, his new wound gone. "Die!" He prepares to attack, but suddenly, Naruto is swapped out with Sasuke, who catches his sword dropped by Madara and runs it into his chest.

Sasuke punches the stunned and wounded Madara off his sword before charging his favorite. "Chidori!" He runs his left hand into Madara's gut.

Suddenly, Naruto speeds back in, Rasengan charged in his right hand as he charges in left of Sasuke. His attack hits dead beside the new hole made by Sasuke. Madara coughs up blood, but only feels more pain as the Rasengan spirals Madara's body and rips him off of Sasuke's Chidori, sending Madara away.

Sasuke and Naruto land, Sasuke's eyes back to his EMS. Naruto lands, his tailed beast cloak completely gone, but still with Sage Mode active.

The two stick in their combat positions. Sasuke mumbles. "I don't have enough chakra to make my Susanoo anymore."

Naruto chuckles. "Don't worry. I have no more chakra from Kurama and the others. We're stuck at low power."

From the rubble, both are shocked to see Madara get up. His wounds are healed mostly, with scars left. However, what they both like is that Madara's hair is back in black. Madara's own tailed beast chakra is completely depleted. Madara inches forward, grunting in pain.

Sasuke smirks. "Both eyes on cooldown." Naruto looks at him. "He's used both his Izanagi's in the last minute. He has a bit before they can come back."

Naruto smiles. "We have this."

Madara sways from one side to the other. "Oh, you have this?" He smiles. "Don't be so sure. . . LIMBO!"

Both Naruto and Sasuke seem to get ready, but are beaten back. Naruto's senses aren't nearly as heightened as before, and Sasuke's eyes can no longer see them. Both are launched away.

Madara smiles. "How can you face all my abilities?" However, both bodies poof. "Clones?!"

The ground below Madara cracks apart as three Narutos rip free. The first punches Madara in the jaw. "NA-" The second uppercuts him off the ground. "-RU-" The last kicks up his jaw to launch him into the sky. "-TO!"

Above in the air, Sasuke appears. His face seems to be complaining, but as Naruto would say, 'get in the spirit'. Sasuke's fist collides with Madara's face, halting his ascent from Naruto as the blonde jumps out from under the two. Sasuke then spins in place and spin kicks, knee to Madara's chest, launching him like a missile into the ground. "Ultimate Lion's Barrage!"

Sasuke lands next to Naruto, drawing his sword while Naruto holds his father's kunai. "Is it over?" Naruto asks.

Suddenly... "Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!" The blast catches them both and launches them back. Madara gets up, now, for the first time in this battle, showing clear anger. "I will not lose!" His eyes activate fully. "Wood Style: Great Buddha!" The ground erupts upward. Suddenly, Madara has called forth a massive wood buddha. Though, not nearly as large as Hashirama's, its size is still impressive. Madara's eyes seem to glow purple as his blue Susanoo armors up around the entire buddha. "You will die here!"

From the flames of his previous attack, Naruto and Sasuke leap out. Both are injured, breathing heavily and barely standing. Naruto's shirt and all but one sleeve of his jacket are burned off. Sasuke's shirt is all burned off. The rest of their cloths are tattered and burned as the stand together, Sasuke on the left and Naruto on the right.

Naruto's sage mode flickers in and out. "Damn. I can barely make a Rasengan. I can't do anything big enough for that thing."

Sasuke sighs. "Guess we got enough for one last move."

They exchange glances. "I'll handle shape. You handle form. The last of our power?" He clarifies.

Sasuke smirks. "That's about all we have."

They stand closer. Sasuke's right hand crackles with lightning. Naruto's hand swirls with chakra. The two glare at Madara as their chakras mold together and take form. The Rasengan lights up in a blinding light. Naruto and Sasuke each smile, enjoying themselves.

Madara smiles. "A single attack vs the combination of mine and Hashirama's ultimate trump cards? You two have been interesting, but I can't waste any more on you." With that, the massive buddha lurches forward and throws its armored hands forward.

Naruto and Sasuke get into running positions before taking off. They sprint under the first arm of the buddha before the second comes down. The two jump at the same time, landing on the other side and running to the center in front of the buddha.

Madara smiles as the wood style molds around him and extra Susanoo armor forms in front of him. "It's useless!"

Naruto and Sasuke close the distract as they call out together. "Lightning Style: Rasenlance!"

Just like the Chidori Sharpspear, the lightning attack extends out in a piercing attack. The lightning hits into the Susanoo, cracking through before ripping through the wood and hitting directly into the right side of Madara's chest. Madara's face shows nothing but shock. He looks down, stunned.

Just like Naruto's Rasenshuriken, there's two parts to the technique. For the shuriken, it carries the enemy to a safe distance before exploding. For this, it pierce everything in its given path until...

The entire lance explodes outward in a single outward shock wave. The hole in the Susanoo and wood blow apart as Madara's entire right side is ripped off and obliterated. Both eyes stuck on their cool down for Izanagi. Not enough chakra for an Almighty Push to block in time. No clones. Naruto's Sage chakra making it impossible to absorb. No escape.

The entire buddha cracks apart as the Susanoo armor fades off. From Naruto and Sasuke, both still have their arms extended forward, lightning and chakra spiraling and crackling from their arms. With that, their arms drop to their sides as both stand still.

Suddenly, Madara's body erupts, releasing giant masses into the sky. Naruto and Sasuke glance around, seeing Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokou, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, and Kurama land around them in a circle.

The nine tailed beasts look at the two, Naruto who has a giant smile on his face, and Sasuke who simply stays silent with a small smirk. Both stumble slightly, trying to stay standing, gasping for air and catching their breath before both fall backward. Two thuds sounding as they each stare into the sky. Naruto starts chuckling before busting out laughing. Sasuke starts to chuckle slightly, both having smirks.

"We win!" Naruto chuckles. Sasuke stays quiet, not revealing his thoughts. Naruto smirks and turns his head. "Don't think I forgot about you! As soon as I'm up, we're fighting for it. The right to be Hokage."

Sasuke turns his head to Naruto before smirking, seeing Naruto's fist out to him. Sasuke rests his arm out to Naruto, his fist connecting to Naruto's the same way as Naruto had with his father or Killer Bee.

"Count on it."

OH MY GOD, so long. This is the longest single file I've ever typed(32 pages) So yeah. From here, my ending would just be Naruto and Sasuke meet at the Valley of the End after healing to fight for the title, except Sasuke using ALL his rinnegan powers, and Naruto having ALL the beasts inside him instead of being cut off from them and handicapped beforehand by Sasuke. Hope it was good.

Final notes:
Izanagi and Izanami infinite in Rinnegan? It follows the general progression of how the two techniques get better the more power the eye sacrificed. Plus, Madara survived the Hashirama fight by using it, yet both his Rinnegan eyes have sight, so this theory is supported, just not used.

Sasuke insta reading seals? Seemed like a perfect upgrade for Rinnegan since even normal Sharingan just instant copies anything. Just seemed weird to me there was never a further level to it in canon.

The Rasengan variations? Wind+Fire= Rasenferno, just like the sound. Wind+Lightning= Rasenstorm, rolls off the tongue. Wind= Rasenshuriken. Lightning= Rasenlance. It seems like an unofficial rule for completed Rasengans in fanfictions that single element ones are based off "Rasen" followed by some real weapon, like "shuriken" to start with. Combinations then become like forces of nature, "storm", "inferno", Hell if there was a Wind+Water variation it would include "tsunami" in some way I'm sure... Rasennami? Eh, sounds dumb. Just saying, there's a TON of Naruto Sasuke combo attacks unexplored in the series.

Hope this was a fun read :)
