The vortex of water smashed the armies boats in an instant, as cries of war were heard all across of the small island. A man with dark blue hair that had two pins in it, with tanned skin, and red eyes filled with nothing but a blank stare, stared at a lifeless body. His companion could tell that he was having an inner battle with himself, speaking of which his companion had blood red hair and eyes that were like the azure waters around their country and pale, almost death like, white skin. his eyes held worry, panic, and most of all, dread.

"Shigito, you have to snap out of it. I already destroyed the ships coming from the north, east and south. we still got the west side to deal with." he said as he tried to get his friend to snap out of his daze and back into the reality at hand, he sighed, "it's a lost, but more will be if you don't snap out of it!"

No response

"Sari wouldn't want to see you like this, her fiancée, acting like a numb child in the midst of battle. we have to go!" after he didn't see a reaction from the blue topped man he continued to try to make is friend get back helping their country

He gave out a shuddered sigh, "we... can come back for her... corpse... The village is depending on Me and You. we're a combo, remember?" Shigito didn't answer him, instead his fist clenched as he remembered her smile, her laugh, he blush when he kissed her with strong passion, and he and her sleeping in each others arms. and when she came home that one fateful evening, waititng for him to come back from his S-ranked mission to tell him that she was pregnant.

Two strong, firm hands grabbed his shouldlers and he look into the eyes of his comrade, his brother all but in blood. "After all... we are the Light storm, right? Remember, Shigito and me, Kikumi, Best pals... Chosen ones of the Death scythes?"

no reaction

"Look... you aren't the only one who lost their fiancée here... and it's breaking me inside... just like you right now, but Kimi told me to fight for the village, if not, for her." Shigito didnt do anything, but he saw that he flinched at the mention of Kikumi's fiancée, "I lost my unborn child and my fiancée too... but we have to defend the village and everyone in it!"

That sparked something into Shigito, and something flickered through Shigito's eyes. He took a look at his dead fiancée under the rubble of their old home. she wasn't even a shinobi, only a mere civilian who couldn't defend herself. He then looked to his best friend, and his eyes widened. Kikumi was crying and giving him a sad look to get him to fight.

To protect the hidden Eddy village.

And he saw that he was suffering from the lost of his fiancée. Just like him.

He looked to the sky, a twisted chuckled escaped his lips. Damn war... and just when they both were going having a shared wedding in a week. He remembered it... their fiancées begging them to have one... a Hitched double wedding.

He snapped his eyes closed and tears fell from his face.

Kikumi's face expression softened at the sight of his brother crying. "We don't need the leaf right now, the messenger left only two days ago, it would take them another 5 days to get back here. and we cant hold them off until the leaf comes to save us. after all, we are Elite Jounins of the whirlpool, the hidden eddy village. and after all, I am going to be the third Uzukage! and you my right hand, Anbu commander!" Kikumi's large pained grin made Shigito come back to reality.

Another flair went off in the distance. coming from the west side of the island.

Their faces grew grimmer then before, as they realized what that meant, and both dreaded it to the core. "That's the signal for us elites to go there, the main Mist ships are already there. come on!" Shigito yelled as he left his partner behind.

Said partner blinked before a void of a smirk covered his lips, and he darted after his best friend.

On the way there they saw the burning buildings and the Chuunin and Gennin escourting the families to the hidden docks to get to safety, and that only made them head to the west side of the island faster.

When they got to the west side, it was already a blood battle. Many Kiri shinobi laid dead while many elite jounin were either fighting the other offending side, or laying on the ground with a kunai or some kind of weapon in their body.

"It's the Light Storm!" someone yelled out. A woman with grey hair that had a tint of red to it, jumped back from her opponent as she blocked his katana with three kunai like claws.

This was Danashi Uzumaki. "Are you morons gonna stand there?! or you gonna fight these bastards?!" she yelled snapping them out of their trance.

They looked to each other and Shigito tilted his head while clinked his tong. Kikumi flickered his eyes and twitched his lip.

And that was all that needed to be done before both of them disappeared in a flash of blue and red.

Suddenly the skies darkened and lighting struck the Ocean. The trees that were a little bit away from the battle field grew larger and thicker, and the wind started to pick up and harshly smashed against the boats of the mist. The ocean off the coast was behaving erratically. The waves nearly made the mist ship fall over on it's side.

"It's the death Scythes! kill them both!"

Kikumi jumped at the attackers as he raised his red scythe in the air, and struck down, slicing the man in half. he turned and swung his scythe killing the man that was attempting to sneak up on an Uzumaki sensor! he scoffed as he jumped on a mans head and boosted himself over the crowd of big bulky men dressed in Mist jounin flask jackets. he did a backflip over them, his scythe cutting through their heads, and he landed in front of a jounin mist woman.

Giving no mercy he cut her down and started to kill other mist Shinobi with force, deciding to let out his anger on them.

Shigito's blue scythe was shining as he channeled chakra into it, making it grow larger, but this was only a fragment of it's power.

He twirled his scythe in the air as three men charged at him while a woman stayed back and did an earth jutsu. he only grunted in disappointment, and channeled lighting chakra in his scythe. he slammed the hilt into the ground as lighting chakra went through the ground and shocked the jounin woman to death, the other men luckily jumped out of the way before they could be fried to death like the woman.

They charged at him with rage in their eyes. He scoffed as he easily took them down with kunai and shadow shuriken.

After an hour of killing they grew tired and both jumped to the ocean, making all of the jounin chase after them. the jounin on the ship started shooting arrows, kunai and shuriken at them. They dodged as they both did the same hand seals as the other.

"Lighting release: Shunning water blaze!"

"Wind release: Shunning water storm!"

lighting came from the skies as wind pushed the water faster then the eye can blink, the water and lighting combined as the wind enforced it to go faster. the attack smashed and shredded the ship apart piece by piece, as the screams of pain and agony was heard from the island.

when every cleared , they saw noting but pieces, blood and the occasional limb or gut.

the two, as if they didn't just use two S-Rank jutsus, jumped back to the mainland as the other jounin took out the stunned mist shinobi. they Waved to the other Jounins and ran back towards the city to help there. but before they could go Danashi stopped them with a shout. they both turned to look at their good friend and comrade.

She glared at them. "DONT DIE!" she yelled at them. They smiled, a fake one, but as much feelings as they could put into it. and then they left, jumping into the trees

"Shigito, we need to go faster!" Kikumi yelled as he bit his thumb as red blood as his hair started to flow out of his finger. Shigito nodded as he bit his finger, and there beside them were an over sized eagle and an over sized hawk. Shigito jumped onto his summon, the Hawk. and Kikumi on his summon, the eagle. and they both were taken into the air, getting a birds few of the destruction. and what they saw made them feel sick, and the thought. 'this... was our home...'

the city was reduced to flames and families were already fleeing the island with a ninja with them. and the clan homes were destroyed as clan members were using their jutsus to flea the island while the woman and children were setting of to the mainland and the elder shinobi were holding off the shinobi from the mist.

dread filled them as they watched a family was cut down by a chuunin mist ninja, the mothers cries of help as they arrived to late as the chuunin killed her, about to kill them children. Shigito did a small lighting jutsu as the chuunin was killed.

Kikumi bit his thumb and standing there was a red fox. "Shi, take these children to the summoning realm." Kikumi ordered. Shi nodded, and moved towards the crying and shaking children. "You kids are going to be fine with my friend Shi here, she'll take care of you, now I have to go save others, good luck." he finished as the children nodded at him, but in the end, the children were traumatized, never to go back to normal. and it saddened Kikumi an d Shigito.

Kikumi jumped onto aburning building as Shigito followed him as they jumped on top of the buildings.

"Shigito, let's get a move on!"

"Who died and made you boss"

"Hopefully he didn't"

they both got on their flying summons and took off to scout the area. heading towards the Uzukage tower, their eyes widened when they saw Mist Shinobi raiding the Uzukage tower. Pushing all logical thinking they both jumped down off their animals and summoned their land summons.

"SUMMONING JUTSU!" they both shouted as a large fox and a large lynx formed beside Kikumi and Shigito respectively. a change was made and Kikumi's eyes turned flaming red and Shigito's turned Icy blue and both other their pupils turned to slit.

after what seemed like an eternity, the two bashed through the Uzukage's office doors. only to see their Uzukage's head being cut off. and everything went slow motion, as their eyes widened when they saw the blood of their leader, and a scream that came from a corner, with the Uzukage's grand daughter being beaten. their rage quickly resurface as they both ran as fast as they could at the grinning mizukage. catching him off guard as he didn't sense their presence, his head was cleanly cut off by Shigito's scythe.

Kikumi ran towards the man that had a kunai to the girls throat. "Kiku-" before she could finish the man cut her throat, then had his own head separated from his body. his limped body dropped in front of the now dead 9 year old girl who was only in her third year at the academy, and considered a princess, and their little sister. Shita Uzumaki.

Kikumi collapsed in front of the girl, hands over his face as a heart racked sob escaped his mouth, his scythe clattered as it fell to the ground. Shigito was about to gently tap his best friends shoulder, but then felt something rip through his chest, and wamr liquid ran down his chest under his heart.

Hearing something going on behind him, Kikumi looked behind him, his eyes widening in horror as he saw that his brother had a spear going through his heat, a hand with it. blood was on his back as he watched Shigito's horror filled gaze before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and the person behind him pushed his body to the side.

feeling rage, Kikumi was about to kill the bastard when he felt something go through his heart, blood going on the man that killed Shigito. he looked down and saw that he had rock over his heart but he could feel the hand of the man behind him, then his vision turned fuzzy as he was kicked beside Shigito. and the two greedy men tried to touch the two death scythes, but both dissolved . Shigito's scythe disappeared in blue sparkles while Kikumi's blew up in red.

they both stared at each other and one thought went through their minds. A roar was heard as the three tails was released from it's prison.

'fuck, we're... dead' after a few moments they found themselves inside of their mindscapes.

Shigito looked around, everything was blue, and there was broken catsles, broken walls around him, the full large moon was blue and standing their on a pedestal was A large white lyx. his blue hair flowing as he walked up to his summon. everything in slow motion.

Kikumi's mindscape was similar but everything was red, even the moon, and standing on the pedestal was a large Fox with nine tails.

The leader of the fox contract, and the leader of the lynx contract

Shigito Sazama and Kikumi Uzumaki, you have only an hour in this realm before you must go to the spirit world. however with out power and title, we have requested the death god to allow you to live, but in something else both females spoke together.

"don't tell us we're going to become butterflies..." Kikumi groaned, but was happy he would live, if not only a little bit if he was going to become a butterfly. Shigito stayed silent, as he still felt the pain in his chest and the pain of losing his kage.

No, that's not it. you shall live, reincarnated into, someone else. a little into the future, but the price is... you both must become one entity and share a body . so you will both become one spirit and sent to live again, but your memories sealed for a while until your conscious realizes of your rebirthing... and he must become someone strong and represent the death god and sign our contracts.

Both of them were overwhelmed, while they both didn't mind the spirit merging thing, they were going to represent a GOD. death god, but a GOD. and with their death, it was breaking their minds. after all they died young, only 23 years old, with Shigito being a few months older then Kikumi.

after what seemed like 59 minutes, they both replied.

"We agree"

20 years later, a red headed woman was being read her results, coming out positive and going to her husband to tell him the great news and months later deciding on the name Naruto Uzumaki. what they didn't know was that two merged spirits fell silently into the unborn child's body while the redhead rested at night. And a Light storm began.
