'thoughts'
"Kurama"
"Shukaku"
Prologue
Naruto blinked, trying to clear the hazy mist of red that had suddenly clouded his vision. He smiled weakly at Sakura and Sasuke who was looking at him in absolute horror. Naruto slowly lowered his eyes to see the giant claw of the juubi that had pierced his stomach. He coughed up blood.
'Is this it, Kurama?'
"Kit…"
Naruto glanced back up at his two teammates. "Live," he whispered," live on to see the next day. Do not grieve; I will always live on in your hearts." He fell on to the ground with a loud thud. His two team mates let out a horrible heartbreaking sound as their sunshine gave his last breath. It seemed so wrong for the never moving boundless ball of energy to be so still… to be so lifeless.
With that, Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, son of the Yellow Flash and the red hot-blooded habanero, apprentice of the toad sage, holder of the toad contract, the child of the prophecy, jinchuriki no kyuubi no yoko, and Konoha's number one knuckleheaded ninja, died in a battlefield littered with hundreds of bodies but most importantly of Madara, Obito and the Juubi.
Naruto opened his eyes, expecting to see the Shinigami himself, only to come face to face with the giant head of a certain one-tailed raccoon he had not seen since four years ago at age twelve. Naruto did the expected thing…
He screamed. The screaming continued for quite a while until a quiet very noticeable cough cut through Naruto's very 'manly' scream. Naruto turned to see a scene he thought he would never see again. All of the nine bijuu and their most recent jinchuriki were lined in a loose ring around the blonde with grim looks on their faces.
Naruto started scanning the faces, starting with the one closest to him. Bee sat on the eight tailed ox in all his same pride and glory. He sure had died a hero's death by saving Naruto from the giant bijudama. Naruto remembered with a pang of Bee's death, the nearly unrecognizable corpse. His last word he recalled was," Save the world nine, so we can peacefully dine. Don't be sorry and do not worry, I'm meeting Two again, with a new adventure to begin. Kono-Yaro Baka-ya-"
Naruto smiled at Bee who was smiling proudly at him. "I did it Bee-ojisan." The rapper answered with his familiar rhyme," of course you did, put up a lid, on top of the juubi, with the kyuubi, Kon-yaro, Baka-yaro."
Naruto turned to the one who had rudely awakened him. That's right, the giant raccoon. Naruto eyes narrowed as he looked at the familiar figure that stood next to the once crazy but now saner raccoon.
"Why are you here Gaara?"
Gaara quietly answered in his familiar monotone voice "Tsunade was too late to save me from Madara. My death was long overdue." Naruto nodded, accepting the answer. He asked the question that he was dying to answer "Is this death?"
"No young one. Not yet."
Naruto turned at the unfamiliar voice to meet the rippled eyes of the rinnegan. "Nagato? Wait no, you are?" the man stepped out of the shadows and in to view.
"I am known as the Rikudo sennin, the jinchuriki no juubi." Naruto looked at him with an awestruck expression. The legendary figure continued "you have done a great job young one. However your services are in need. Another land is in danger. You, Naruto, have showed you have inherited my will. I decided to send you and Gaara to this land and help these travelers achieve their goal." He said waving his hand to the said picture of the travelers. "If you succeed, I will revive you to your world, you will awake at the exact same time as when Naruto died."
"Wait old man," Kurama interrupted, "I wish to go with Naruto. Is it allowed?" Shukaku let out a growl, "I will go too, with Gaara." Rokudo sennin smiled for the first time. "I thought you would never ask." Gaara picked up his ever trusty gourd and Naruto smiled his famous foxy smile" We will succeed, believe it!" the sennin smiled as a huge portal opened, the giant raccoon and fox turned horse sized as the stood with their partners. Naruto clenched his fist and raised it on the air "This time, it will be different, this time; Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto will take this world by storm! BELIEVE IT!"
And with that the portal disappeared with the four. With their disappearance, a figure stepped in to the view. The ancient priestess Modoriko stood looking at where the Blondie and Redhead had disappeared. "Are they really fit for the job? After all they won't be very happy you lied to them. They will find the ruins; they will find the revived man. And once they do… they might fall under its spell" all eight remaining jinchuriki smiled.
"Both has something to protect, because they need to return to their time, they will succeed, after all, both has the fates of Konoha and Suna on their shoulders."
Modoriko blinked
"I hope you're right"
