A/N: A spin off of a current story I have posted. While the scene in this spin off comes later in the story...this idea just kept bugging me so, that I got to write it. I mean any story with the GREAT WASHU is bound to be historical, no? So, if you haven't guessed yet...yes this is a Tenchi Muyo! Naruto crossover. WARNING: May contain aspects from Tenchi Universe and will probably contain Tenchi Muyo GXP. Also the beginning takes place during the fight on the Soja against Kagato. And the pairings will be WashuxTatshi, NarutoxMihoshi, and a love triangle of TenchixRyokoxAyeka. Now enjoy this work of art or the GREAT WASHU-SAMA will turn you into something. Yes, this will be my only half crack half serious fic, though the really funny stuff will be in the next chapter. And this story may be worked on more since it does have the GREAT WASHU-SAMA in it. Also while some scenes will appear in my other fic, Tatshi and Naruto go through a bit more and when they leave at a later time about 25 years after their birth.
Disclaimer: I don't own Tenchi Muyo or Tenchi Universe or Tenchi Muyo GXP or Naruto...even though the latter is being destroyed by the creator. Well all lengthly animes get destroyed due to writer's block sooner or later, but what he did was just throw out pure BS after Itachi died. I mean if you wanted a good story with more people giving up on you...don't kill the most bad ass person in the anime next to the "EVIL BAD GUYS". Well, enough of my ranting on with the story!
Chapter 1: Separations and Meetings.
Four figures stood in a room, on the floor was a large complex seal written in ink. The two larger figures stood near the door out of the seal, while the two sightly shorter figures stood in the seal still adding what seemed to be runes and kanji as they swiftly and quickly made the add-ons, making sure not to make a mistake on any of them. As the figures continued to draw the seals on the floor of the room, one couldn't help but look at the complexity of the seal it self. The two working on the seal finally stopped working on the seal and nodded to each other as it was finished. The figure on the left rose from his position on his knees and looked at the figures at the door. "Pein-sama and Konan-sama, it is finished. After working on the seal for five hours, we can finally get ready to go to the summoning realm. Then we can find out the real truth about the past and the Tengu." The man said as he stepped a bit more into the light as he stood in a circle just a bit shy left of the center of the seal. He looked to be about thirteen fourteen with long black hair mostly covering his eyes. The color of his eyes which anyone could barely see were dark jade green in his right eye, while his other eye was significant light jade green. His eyes told the story of hardship and death, like he lost the will to live. While his actions and ideas spoke of a person that was a genius among geniuses. This boy, no man was young yes but seem hardships and things most people in their lives would never see. This man was the jinchuuriki of the eight tailed hell dragon, then later became an immortal due to his body's adapted to the influx of energy coursing through him due to an accident to save the figure who he drew the seal with. This man was named Hudan Tatshi. He stood at five feet two inches, but could grow as he could change his appearance from a child to a full grown man. It seemed every time he was in a fight for his life he was in his current form...a child going into a man who held no mercy in battle. He wore a cloak that seemed big for a his body, it was pitch black in color with a red cloud appearing a few times. Around his neck was a headband tied with what looked to be rain falling with a large slash through the symbol. Underneath the cloak he wore baggy pants held by a belt with what seemed to have scrolls hanging all around it but the back. He wore a black V-collared sleeveless shirt with fishnet armbands going from just below the shoulder to about five inches from the wrist. On the back of his hips he had two wakizashi blades sheathed. The handles of the blades stuck out through two holes just large enough for the blade to fit through on his cloak. On his feet he wore bamboo sandals like most samurai would wear.
"If we don't return or send a message in three years...then we are lost somewhere and can't return or dead." Tatshi said calmly as he began the two hundred handsign sequence. The other figure by this time had stepped into the circle to the right of Tatshi.
"Yeah, let's hope it's the former than latter eh?" This figure said as the light washed over him. His sun kissed blond hair framed his face which had three whisker marks on both sides of his cheeks of his face. His Aqua blue eyes shinned with the light. All in all he looked to be a young man of about twenty-four years old. He also wore a black cloak with red clouds, however on his hands were a pair of fingerless gloves with grooves on the index knuckle, in between the middle and ring knuckles, and on the pinky knuckle. He stood taller than Tatshi at a hight of six feet still shorter than the figures at door known as Konan and Pein. Underneath the cloak he wore a crimson red low collar long sleeve shirt. His headband was around his waist like a belt. His pants were a little long, but not enough to hinder his movement like Tatshi's. He wore black sandal like boots with what seemed to be shin guards connected to the sandals themselves.
"Hn...just get ready bro, because I'm sending you first since you didn't bother to pay attention to learn the handsigns." Tatshi said as he finished half of the handsigns. "Be careful on the other side, because we may get separated from each other for a short time. And knowing you...you'll do something stupid Naruto." Tatshi said just before he finished the handsigns. He then slammed his hands in the center of the seal complex and yelling the name. "Warp no jutsu!" The seal started to light up in a bluish green glow. Before a violet, almost black out lined around Naruto and swirled around having him disappear slowly before it closed on itself and disappeared with Naruto in it. "It worked as expected...just hope the destination is where expected. Now to do this again." Tatshi said with a sigh. He then began the handsigns again.
"Tatshi, be careful you won't know where you'll end up or if you'll end up near Naruto. Your jutsu is pure experimental and this is the first time being test, so if you die the plan is blown to ruins I hope you know that." The figure known as Pein said. He stands at a hight of six feet five inches. His auburn hair and his eyes stood out. His eyes held the powerful Rinnengan the bloodline said to create the first jutsu ever used. He also had multiple piercings all over his face. He looked at Tatshi, who nodded as he was almost finished with the handsigns.
"Yeah, it would be ashame for the people we took care of and trained to be killed by a defective jutsu." The woman figure known as Konan said. She had long blue hair with whats seemed to be a paper flower in her hair. She and Pein wore black cloaks with red clouds on them, also they wore headbands with the same symbol and slash through it. Konan smiled at Tatshi just as he finished the handsigns.
"Warp no Jutsu!" Tatshi called out then the same violet outline that appeared on Naruto before appeared on him. He looked up at the two by the door and nodded before speaking. " Ja ne, let's hope this isn't the last time we speak to each other, eh Tou-san and Kaa-san." Tatshi said before he disappeared in the violet light that compressed into it self.
Meanwhile...
Naruto fell from the open portal and flipped in mid air so he could land on his feet. He looked around and found he was in a hall way with no doors. That is until the wall in-front of him opened as music from an organ played. 'What's the worst that can happen? It seems someone is leading me to them. Now can't be rude now can I?' He thought as he walked through the opening as the wall continued to open as he walked. About a minute after Naruto walked through the opening the wall behind him was blasted open from an explosion.
Two women walked through the opening, which was transparent with a white and black wall. The first woman that stepped out looked to be in her mid to late thirties with a cyan hair that had long bangs that went down to her C-cup size breast. She had yellow eyes and was wearing a full body suit that was red on the sleeves ending on her chest and black every where else. "Hn, a way in how covenant."
The second woman who stepped through had short purple hair and her skin was a little gray. She also had two face marks on both sides of her face. She had on a battle kimono with pink sleeves and pant legs. Over that she had a light blue obi and a black with a crimson violet trimmed smaller kimono. "Well now, looks like an invitation." The woman said.
"Sure does, let's not be rude." Said the cyan haired woman. The two women then walked through the opening.
Just as they walked through the opening another woman appears. She was dark skinned with blond hair holding what seemed to be a large assault riffle that hung on her shoulder. Her hair was tied back in a pony tail on top of her hair. Her eyes were blue and she was wearing a full body suit like the cyan haired woman, unlike that woman's suit her suit was colored with orange, black, and purple. "Hello, I'm right behind you could you please wait up?" She said as she walked out of the wall, and then she seemed to get caught on something and fell back into the wall and hit the small fuzzy ball on her hip. "Whoa." She said as she hit the wall and the fuzzy ball turned into a purple cube as it fell off her hip and onto the ground. As it hit the ground it fell through it onto what seemed to be the other side. As it disappeared to the other side she went with it, appearing on the mirror side of the hall. She then started to run around. "Oh no, where'd they go? What is this? Where am I?" She asked as she ran around the mirror image hallway. She then noticed the wall that everyone else walked through started to close. "Hey, wait a second." She said as she started to run to the opening only to turn back and grab the cube . "Have to get my control cube." She then ran through the opening, but not before speaking. "How many times do I have to ask you to wait for me?"
With Tatshi...
The portal opened in a great room with a stone path with what seemed to be marble on the sides of the path. Unlike the portal Naruto appeared in this portal was on level with the ground. Tatshi stepped out of the portal and looked around taking in the environment. He then sighed. "The jutsu worked, but it didn't take us to the right place...damn it all." He then noticed at the end of the path on a platform was a large crystal in the middle of it. At the top of the stairs, seemed to be two snake statues on both sides of the stairs. "Snakes...sometimes I think people think snakes are really scary...man, that has to be the stupidest thought ever." He said as he started to walk up the stairs. As he reached the top and started toward the crystal he sensed another presence approaching, paying it no mind he continued on. As he was about half way to the crystal he heard the statues move. He then silently sighed to himself as he continued his journey. When he was about three feet from the crystal he seen what was it really was. It was an ice prison with a person inside. He noticed it was a girl about the age of his current kid form, she had red hair. The hair style was weird to him, but he thought it looked rather good on the girl. It was tied back in a long ponytail, but it had long strands sticking out the sides that made it look like crab legs. Then she had a pair of bangs stick out to the front of her ears. She was wearing what seemed to be a school uniform. And in-front of her was a gold wings medal of some sort, and it was wrapped by gray snakes like the statues. It clicked in his mind, that the snakes had something to do with the seal on this girl. Just as the snakes were about to eat him, he looked over his shoulder and had a look of disgust on his face. "Pitiful...snakes that think they can take me." When the snakes were a half a foot away from him he dodged to the side and unsheathed his wakizashi blades and used his speed to cut off one of the snakes head and kicked the other snake back. "Sad, if this was a trap or a guard system then it is pitiful...a gennin can defeat these." He said, he didn't notice that the ice prison cracked but he did noticed the blond haired dark skinned woman walking on the path walking toward him...well more like running now. "So, your the other presence I sensed. Nice to meet you, I'm Hudan Tatshi." He said as he bowed to the woman, who was still a fair distance away. The snake having recovered by now seeing its chance to kill the intruder jumped in an attack, planning on bitting down on Tatshi to end his life.
"Look Out!!" The woman screamed as the snaked was about to bite down on Tatshi from above.
Tatshi just smirked as the snake was closing his mouth to kill Tatshi...but things never go as planned and diffidently for this snake. As the form of Tatshi disappeared in the mouth of the stone snake his presence and life did not. The snake looked wide eyed as he was slashed to bits from Tatshi's attack. He then dusted himself off from the stray bits of rocks that landed on his shoulder and cloak. He may have been a bit worn out from using a really high level and experimental jutsu, but not enough so to be defenseless. "I always hated snakes..." He said loud enough for the woman who by now was climbing the stairs to hear. He then sheathed his blades finding a reason for them not to be used at the moment. He then turned to ice prison and noticed it was cracked a great deal. He then had a mad smirk on his face.
With Naruto...
He made it to the middle of the room, he noticed a man wearing a very small pair of glasses that seemed to stay perfectly on his face. He seemed to be in his late fifties, with sliver gray hair. He was wearing what seemed to be a traveler's cloak or cape that was sage green up at the top and light green every where else. The man then got up from playing the organ and stepped to the top of the stairs to meet Naruto. "Excuse me, but where exactly am I? I know for sure I'm not in the Summon's Realm." Naruto asked the man.
The man just laughed before speaking. "Ah, another person the woman got to help them. Ha ha ha." The man said as two woman entered the room.
"Women? I don't known what you're talking about, but you must have the wrong guy." Naruto said with his hands up. Just then two women walked past him and glared at the man.
"Ah, welcome to my chapel ladies did you enjoy the music?" The man said with a bow.
The cyan haired woman gripped her hands tight almost to draw blood. "Stand back Ayeka." She was ignored though when the woman in question rushed the man. She seemed to be floating at a fast speed and when she went to punch the man her attack was held back by another force, since the man in question didn't lift a finger to react.
The man just looked her in the eye. "Is that a term of affection or do you just not like me? You are quite powerful princess but this chapel's forcefield counter acts all energy that attacks it. Now allow me to teach you some manners." He said before launching the woman across the floor knocking her out. Imminently after he was struck with an attack just below his neck in the upper center of his chest. He screamed in pain before the attack stopped. While dazed the cyan haired woman appeared behind him floating. "Huh?" Was all the man was able to say before the woman drove an energy sword through the same spot he was attacked before. However, as the man screamed in pain he disappeared as green smoke rose from the place he just was.
"A shadow?" Was all the woman could say before her neck was gripped by the man she attacked.
"Seven hundred years is a bit too long of a rest for you Ryoko. You can't even tell the real me from a shadow, that's not like you." He said then the woman looked at her hand as it started to turn to stone.
"Kagato, don't my arm." She said as he grinned evilly as she turned to stone, but not before screaming out in pain.
"You look quite nice in gray." He then turned to Naruto, who by now just stared impassively at the action the man did.
"One rushed in without a plan and the other was fooled, if those are all your tricks then I'm going to be a tougher fight then these ladies...even though I don't know them." Naruto said as he unbuttoned the top of his cloak allowing his full face to be shown.
"So you would risk your life for people you don't know?" Kagato asked as he created another shadow in his place.
"No, but since you dragged me into this I have no choice in the matter now do I?" Naruto said as he looked at where Kagato was invisible. "You can't fool someone who knows the shadows with a shadow...let's see what you got!" Naruto yelled as he rushed the man, but the Naruto that rushed the man was a Kage bushin. The real Naruto was to the left of Kagato on the pillar near him running through handsigns. The clone then crossed wind claws and energy sword before attempting to force the man away into the trap. Kagato jumped away from the kick Naruto swung at him and into a well thought trap as Naruto did his jutsu. "Fuuton: Great Break Through no jutsu!" The whirlwind of wind blades hit Kagato and making him scream out in pain.
The attack died down and Kagato had multiple cuts that were deep, but not fatal to him. They just healed quickly surprising Naruto, not suspecting this man to have the same regeneration ability as he had. He landed next to his clone and the next second Kagato was behind him and his clone. Acting so quickly his other created clone hiding in the shadows replaced himself with it as Kagato stuck his energy sword in each clone. "Hn, you are strong if you knew what you were up against you probably would have had a chance." Kagato said with a smirk, only to loose it when he seen both clones smirk.
"Man, you just fell for one of my oldest tricks...Bushin Bakuretsu!" Both clones said before exploding. The man was rocketed from his position from behind the clones to in mid air as the explosion sent him flying. However, he had only a friction of a second to react and guard with his energy sword before getting impaled by a set of wind claws delivered by a Naruto clone. "Don't think your high and mighty because you have the ego of a god. If you attack me I will do nothing short of going for the kill." The clone said as he tried to impale Kagato with his other set of wind claws only to be forced to block as punch from the man, and then countering with a kick sending him downward.
"Ah, you...I will kill you for this." Kagato said as he was plummeting toward the ground. He then stopped his decent and was right side up only to be forced to block another set of wind claws, this time by the real Naruto.
"Let's see who wins a person who claims to be a god or a DEMON!" Naruto said as he kicked Kagato into a pillar and charged into the fray.
Kagato was slightly confused on what the man meant, but disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto and tried to blast him with an energy ball only to have it hit a clone he was replaced with an exploding clone to make the explosion even bigger and have him caught up in it. He got up only to float away from a set of wind claws aiming to take off his head. "This is something I haven't had in a while." He laughed after his spoke. "Someone, who could actually stand up to me in a fight. What is your name...I want to know the name of the man I kill who could stand equal with me."
Naruto just smirked as he knew people like this since he was part of an organization that was full of men who would like a fight with someone their equal or better. "My name is Uzumaki...Uzumaki Naruto, nukenin of Ame and Konoha." He said as he didn't blink as not to take his eyes off his opponent.
"Nukenin? Did your government not find you or something?" Kagato asked with a smile that clearly had evil intentions.
"No, I'm being hunted for abandoning my village...although I am no longer being hunted by Ame since someone I know very well came into power about ten years ago. But enough about me let's fight." Naruto said as he charged, only to have Kagato to disappear and reappear behind him to slash him with an energy sword. Naruto blocked the sword only to be kicked into a pillar and have explosions all around him causing massive boulders to fall onto him.
Kagato seeing that Naruto hasn't escaped from the rubble turn to Ayeka and took off his glove and having her float up to him as he grabbed her with an invisible hand. "You will show me the secrets of Tsunami unit, Princess Ayeka." He said as he stared into her closed eyes.
With Tatshi...
"Damn it, this prison won't break...this girl might know something about where the hell I am too!" Tatshi yelled in frustration as he tried to break the prison and seal around the girl.
"Um, excuse me Tatshi-san." The dark skinned woman said to him, only to get cut off.
"Just Tatshi...I don't want to feel old by being called Tatshi-san." He said as he looked at the woman, who nodded.
"How did you move so fast and destroy the snakes?" She asked as she kicked a piece of rubble that was a snake statue.
"I didn't completely destroy them...they should be reforming any second now by the looks of the runes around this platform. It seems the only way to disable the trap is to free this girl, now keep quiet so I can figure out how to free her." He said as he was studying the runes in-front of the prison.
The woman then nodded, only to understand that the snakes would reform any second now as they were a fair distance from Tatshi. She heard the rocks reforming behind her and she turned around. She was scared as she seen to giant snakes charge at her, she then spin kicked one forcing it to fall back and crash into the other snake. She then back flipped and landed near Tatshi before raising her left hand, which started shooting out light blue orbs. "You have a right to remain silent you snakes. Any thing you say can be used against you in evidence in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney which would be ah- snake faces and then...that's all" She stopped her ranting or panicking to catch her breath. At this time Tatshi face vaulted as he heard her give two snake statues their rights.
"You really are not that smart are you?" He mumbled not so loud, but loud enough to have her that he said something.
The snakes were trying to get out of their ice prison since when the blue orbs hit them, they froze something Tatshi took care to note. The woman then looked up as she heard the ice crack. "Hey, the charges against you will be really bad if you try to escape." She then started to cry. "I'm really serious now, I really am." She then took out her purple cube which was a fuzzy ball a second before, that Tatshi noticed. "This thing isn't working, it's not powerful enough. I should have paid attention when they explained how to use these things." The woman said in a panic.
Tatshi just face vaulted more when he heard her panic attack rant. 'Man, her and Naruto would make a good pair because they don't bother to pay attention to things...' Tatshi thought and noticed the more the woman played with the purple cube the more the prison on the woman cracked. 'Hn, it seemed I had the wrong instrument to free this girl.' He thought as the seal because to break also. Just then one snake broke free and headed to bite down on the woman. Just as it was about to bite down on her the seal and the prison broke on the girl and she stepped out as Tatshi destroyed the snaked statue that returned to an immobile state. The woman just looked up and seen Tatshi destroy the snake like it was nothing.
The girl then walked by the woman and speaking to announce her presence. "Okay, take it easy you're safe now. Thanks for setting me free by the way, this is a dangerous place you're in you know?" The girl said as she was near the other snake statue.
"You're not kidding." The woman said and Tatshi just shook his head and sheathed his drawn blades.
The girl just destroyed the other statue like nothing when she waved her had at it. "Let's get this out of the way." She then made a statue of a woman in her mid to late thirties raise up from the ground. "Raise and shine, there's she is." She then looked over her shoulder at Tatshi and the woman before speaking again. " Now this girl is out of control, don't you agree Mihoshi?" The girl said to the woman and then snapped her fingers causing the statue of the woman to come to life. The girl then looked over the woman and spoke while doing it. "Looks like nothing is broken. That jerk tried to destroy her huh? Well, I'll show him." The woman now was coming to.
"Excuse me, who are you? Your outfit seems to be a Science Academy uniform from a long time ago." Mihoshi said, but was ignored by the girl.
"Your body is sagging a bit." Which got a snicker from Tatshi as he watched the girl continue to check the woman over. "The deterioration of your muscle affects your ability to fight, it also affects your physical psychological tactics." This had Tatshi face vault while laughing pretty hard.
The woman then picked up the girl by her collar and brought her to her face. "Okay pip squeak, weather my body is sagging or not is none of your business." She yelled at the girl, before asking a question. "What are physical psychological tactics anyways?"
"Your sex appeal of course." Both Tatshi and the girl said at the same time. This angered the woman quite a bit.
"Hey I have you know my body shape hasn't changed for the past seven hundred years. What do you think of that you big smart Alick?" The woman said loudly to the girl.
"Well I think that's no way to talk to your mother, Ryoko." The woman and Tatshi was now confused. The girl got out of Ryoko's grip and started to walk a little bit away. "That's right. In fact, not only did I create you, I created Ryo-Ohki, I created the Soja I created so many things really. But I used my ova for you, so I'm more like your mother than creator." The girl said as she looked at Mihoshi and Tatshi.
"You must be that female student that was kidnapped by Kagato." Mihoshi said as she looked at the girl.
The girl had an annoyed look on her face as she replied. "Student? No I am Washu and I just happen to be the top scientific genius of the universe. I am cute, I have to admit I look a little young to be your mom, don't I Ryoko?" Washu asked Ryoko over her shoulder.
"Baloney, I've been alone for two thousand years ever since I was born...ever since...I was born. But what in the world is this place?" Ryoko asked.
"This is the reverse world." Washu said with a smile.
"Reversed?" Ryoko asked, and Tatshi was also curious.
"The ship has two layers that are the top and the bottom, but the intersection between them is one way. So that means-" Washu was cut off by Ryoko.
"Forget about that, tell me how to get to Kagato." Ryoko demanded.
"Want to get revenge for Tenchi?" Ryoko then held an energy sword to Washu's neck. Tatshi had his hands on his wakizashi blades, in case she was about to do something a bit more drastic. Out of everyone there only Washu noticed this out of the corner of her eye, which Tatshi saw.
"How do you know about Tenchi?" Ryoko demanded again.
"As you are connected to Ryo-Ohki, I am connected to you my dear. So, I know...everything...I know how you feel about...Tenchi. You like him, you love him. You never felt this way before and will do anything for him." Washu said in a motherly manner at first, that only Tatshi picked up on. Ryoko had already took the energy sword away from Washu's neck. "On top of all that, you want to do this and that with Tenchi don't you?" When Washu said this she was blushing hard.
"Whoa and I thought that idiot Jiraiya was perverted." Tatshi said aloud making all three females look at him. "What? I'm older than I look." Tatshi said as he grew into his older form. He then moved his hair out of his face showing the three his different colored eyes. "Ryoko was it?" He asked her, and she nodded. "Did you see a blond haired man with whisker marks on both sides of his face?" Ryoko nodded unable to speak from seeing him grow and age. "Ah, so my younger brother is here good. Thought he and I were separated for a minute there. Even though he can take care of himself." He then swifted back into his child form and cracked his neck. "Man, I hate doing that hurts like hell." Washu wasn't quite surprised out of the three woman but she was interested about Tatshi now.
"Ryoko, it'll be easy for you to get back. But Ryoko can you do one thing for me?" Washu asked as Ryoko started to walk away. She then turned around and looked at Washu. "I wonder could you please, can you call me mom, momma, or mommy?" Washu asked only to have Ryoko grunt in annoyance and a snicker from Tatshi. Ryoko then disappeared in thin air.
"Hey Ryoko, why couldn't we go with her?" Mihoshi asked and just as Washu was about to answer Tatshi spoke.
"It's obvious, I would have ended on the other side when I came here but something seemed to forced me to appear on this side. So, either we can't go back until this Kagato character is killed or someone has to open a portal on the other side...some how I have a feeling it's the former." Tatshi said as he put his hand under his chin. "But what I don't understand is why Ryoko is able to come and go, unless that was her mind and soul." He said again. He then reached into his cloak and pulled out a scroll. He forced his chakra into a seal causing a guitar to come with a 'poof' of smoke.
"Hmmm, you seem to have knowledge of these things. Have you had any experience with this kind of situations?" Washu asked as she looked over Tatshi was the guitar now in his lap.
"No, a colleague of mine can do something of this sort of thing with his eyes...but over the years of using it he is almost blind." Tatshi said as he began to tone his guitar.
"Excuse me Tatshi, but where did you get that guitar?" Mihoshi said as she looked at it surprisingly.
"Let's just say that it was on a different plane of existence." He said with a nod.
"Alternate dimension storage...by any chance are you a scientist?" Washu asked as she leaned to him so their faces were only inches apart.
"No, this thing is sort of common from shinobi. I just happen to use it for more conventional means to suit my undercover identity. But I wish I could see what is happening on the other side...sadly, I don't have my ink to draw up a seal." Tatshi said as he finished tuning his guitar.
With Naruto...
Naruto woke under what felt like a ton of rock. He wasn't that surprised he was still alive since he used his chakra to cushion the weight of the rubble and the blow of being hit with debris from the rocks. "Just great, Tatshi is always right that whenever I go somewhere something always manages to fall on me...I swear he is a prick at times." He said to himself as he pushed chakra into his claws and started to cut the rubble around him to give him enough room to properly get out of the rubble. Once he cleared enough room he began to roll as he pushed more chakra out of his hand and whole body. The result was a miniature tornado out of wind blades that drilled a hole out of the rubble. He then jumped out of the hole and into the light.
What he saw was Kagato and Ryoko in-front of an unconscious Ayeka on the ground, as Ryoko just freed her from Kagato's grip. "Well, the surd that was in the world of shadows has returned I see. Where have you been? I've been waiting, but then your timing has never been perfect." Kagato said as he got rid of the energy sword that was lodged into his right forearm just below the wrist.
"I'm at your service." Ryoko said with smirk. She then charged.
The battle was fierce as Kagato and Ryoko traded, blocked, and dodged attacks from each other. This gave Naruto enough time to gather up Ayeka and lay her somewhere safe...well, considering that the fight could end up anywhere in the room. As soon as he got her in a relatively safe place, he created a kage bushin and went to help Ryoko. He forced Kagato to jump and float back as he came with a fast right swipe. "You didn't think some rocks can kill me can you? I told you, if you attack me you will die." He said as he tossed his cloak aside. "Ryoko it is right?" He asked her as she nodded. "If we work together it'll be easier to take this bastard down...You in?" He asked as he looked over his shoulder at her.
"Yeah, since you're the brother of that guy that was in the reverse world. Let's take him down." She said as she smiled evilly, an evil cat like smile.
"So bro is here, then I guess there's a much higher chance of this ending faster than I thought." Naruto said as he looked at Kagato again.
"If you're hoping from help from who ever you are talking about, I'm afraid that won't be possible without defeating me." Kagato said from his position.
"Then I guess it's time...TO GO WILD!" Naruto said as four clones appeared around Kagato all thrusting a claw at him. This Kagato was another shadow, but Naruto knew that as he appeared behind Kagato who was aiming for Ryoko and gave him a brutal kick to the side of the head. The kick sent him skidding off the water. He then dodged the blasts from Ryoko as he gained his barrens.
As soon as he stood floating on the water, little cylinders of wood surrounded Kagato entrapping him. Ryoko looked over her shoulder and seen Ayeka, she was breathing heavily and was using the wall to stop her from collapsing.
With Tatshi...
Tatshi had a sweat drop over his head as he just seen Washu explain the whole ship to Mihoshi, included with drawings and equations to help her to get a better grasp of the ship and why they were trapped. Even then, Mihoshi still didn't get it. "Where were you when they handed out the brains?" Washu said causing Mihoshi look teary eyed and Tatshi to sweat drop even more.
"But how can this be you created this ship, didn't you?" Mihoshi asked as she was on her knees, hugging Washu at the waist.
"Uhmm, Hmmm." Washu hummed with a look of accomplishment on her face. "And is why it is so PERFECT!" Washu exclaimed, only to have Mihoshi fall onto her back and Tatshi to get a tic now.
"It's not perfect..." He said as Washu looked at him. "It would be perfect if you made it a two way passage, and that this side could only be sealed off and broken from the other side. If you did that, we would be able to help instead of doing nothing. I'm sure this Kagato character couldn't be that much to handle, but since he hasn't been killed yet it would seem Naruto is having a bit of trouble. He was never the type to draw out fights." Tatshi said as he looked at Washu in the eye. "The ship is not entirely perfect."
"Hmpf, what do you know?" Washu said as she glared at Tatshi.
Tatshi just appeared behind her and spoke into her ear. "I do know that if my brother is killed or uses the power sealed inside of him, Kagato won't only have to worry about having to stay alive." Both his eyes flashed a dark jade green for a brief moment, only long enough for Washu to notice.
"Not as normal as you seem are we now?" Washu said as she looked at Tatshi, who just looked confused as she was in the bit intimidated from his threat. For a brief moment his thought back to his past before he and Naruto were picked up by Pein. In that brief moment Washu caught what looked to be a lifetime of pain, sadness, and hurt in his eyes. She noticed as soon as it appeared it disappeared without a trace of it being there. "Not to worry, not everyone is as normal as they seem." She said and made a large circle in the ground showing the battle on the other side.
Tatshi just stepped back as he knew that Washu was hiding something too herself. Tatshi decided to ask later and in private as he looked at the in-ground screen and watched the battle.
With Naruto...
Ryoko cut a pillar allowing it to fall onto Kagato. She stepped onto the pillar and walked above where Kagato was. "This pillar is very dense, he must have been damaged heavily." She said as she examined the pillar.
"Don't believe everything you see Ryoko!" Naruto called out as he rushed to where Ryoko was standing. Only to see Kagato phase through the pillar and grab her ankle before slamming her into the pillar. He then tried to stab her with an energy sword, but she phased into the pillar before she could be stabbed. Kagato was hit with a blast from Ayeka. "Fool, you're too weak from earlier. All you're doing now is getting in the way." Naruto yelled as he rushed to grab her.
"Where are your manners, Princess?" Kagato said then shot a blast at Ayeka. Naruto seeing this rushed to her put he was too late as the blast his a forcefield around her causing her to fly back. Luckily, Naruto was there to catch her. The pillar Ryoko was in then formed a hand that grabbed Kagato and it started to form into a giant Ryoko.
"I'm going to enjoy crushing you." Ryoko said as she squeezed Kagato tighter.
"Yes, I'm sure you would if you could. Just what seems to be the problem Ryoko?" Kagato said. Then the stone giant Ryoko had a surprised look before Kagato broke the stone skin apart.
With Tatshi...
"But why doesn't use her full power?" Washu wondered.
"Maybe she can't." Mihoshi said.
"Naruto is doing the same, it's because their afraid that they'll destroy Ayeka or have one of each other caught up in their attacks." Tatshi said as he looked on. "If it were me, this would be over...my attacks are much more centered than wide range." Tatshi said as he strum the guitar in his lap.
"This is no good if they continue to do this, they can't defeat Kagato even on their own turf." Washu exclaimed. "Give me your cube Mihoshi." Washu said holding her hand out.
With Naruto...
Ryoko landed next to Naruto, who held Ayeka and dodged the debris from the giant. "Here, take her and regain your breath I'll see if I can hold him off for a bit." He said as he handed Ayeka over to Ryoko. He then charged Kagato with a Bushin Bakuretsu beside him. He had another clone appear behind Kagato that was from earlier and kick him up into the air. Naruto then kicked him further up into the air, before Kagato used a force to send him flying into the ground hard thus making a crater and temporary knocking him out. As he was high up into the air, Naruto other clone grabbed onto Kagato. "Baited again and this time I hope you like this boom. Bushin Bakuretsu!" The clone then explodes leaving Kagato a bit dazed, but he quickly recovers and uses a force to push Ryoko into the wall behind her away from Ayeka.
He walks up to her and holds out his hand to the still dazed woman. "Come to me Ayeka." But then she phases into the ground.
With Tatshi...
Tatshi looked on as Ayeka phased up from the floor and Mihoshi catches her. "We can't get over there, but they can come here." Washu said.
"So you've been making it easier for those two to fight huh? Not even I can do anything to Ayeka now that she is in another dimension." Kagato said as a projection of him appeared causing Washu to look over her shoulder.
"Why don't you leave us alone, cause if you do I'll let you go free." Washu said as she held the cube in her hand.
"Go free?"
"Ryoko and I are not under your power anymore."
"And I am no longer your student, Professor. Do you think I haven't learned anything in the past five thousand years?" Just then Kagato activated something that caused Washu to look around.
"What did you just do?!"
"I've directed all of gems' force toward Soja. Although I could make it compact as Ryoko, I'll think you'll find the power introduced at one time is far greater than Ryoko's."
Tatshi looked at the screen on the ground and saw Ryoko fall to one knee as he seen power being drained from her wrists into the floor. "I'm getting weak, my power is draining." He heard her say through the screen.
"Professor, I'm going to show you a little experiment just like the old days." Kagato said as he turned around as had the wall show a planet.
"No, I forbid it." Ayeka said out weakly.
"Princess Ayeka, you're in no position to forbid anything. And since you're not cooperating I'll interrogate your brother and sister instead." Kagato said with an evil laugh as he disappeared.
"Okay, since I now know he can't harm us over here I guess it's time to let Naruto know he can unleash it." Tatshi said as he unsheathed one of his blades and cut his wrist causing the woman to look at him in shock.
"What are you doing?!" Washu yelled as she looked on.
"How do you expect me to make seals with nothing to draw them with?" He said as he started a short seal array in-front of him. When he was finished he pulled his cut arm behind him and begin making handsigns with one hand. "This better work. Yami no Messe-ji Fuujin!" The seal then started to glow violet before letters started to float up and then went into the ground disappearing. "Good it went through." He then took the blade he placed on the ground with the wrist he cut and sheathed it. The woman noticed that the cut was closed and didn't leave as scar.
"What was in the message? And what will he unleash?" Washu asked as she walked over to him and examined his arm. 'Extraordinary, his regeneration ability is on par with Kagato's even better.' She thought as he sat back and gathered his guitar he placed down behind him.
"That my friend is a secret...you will have to watch and see. It's not every fight, no scratch that not every time we're on the brink of death he or I used the power sealed inside of us." Tatshi said as he then played a short dark piece of music with his guitar.
The ship just fired a large beam of energy at the planet. "No! Sasami, Yosho!!" Ayeka yelled out as the beam was heading toward the planet. Just before the beam hit it was stopped by a shield that looked like wings.
With Naruto...
Naruto was floating in water inside his mind, as a letter floated down onto his face and waking him up. "Ah, who got that number of that Doton jutsu that hit me?" He said to no one. He then opened the letter and began to read it. His eyes went wide just from the first line. "No, this can't be right. Bro wouldn't let me, no he couldn't let me...that's why he's letting me." He said as he read the letter more. He then got up and walked forward to the last place he wanted to be...the Kyuubi no Kitsune's cage.
"So, the ningen has returned...and here I was starting to get lonely." The Kyuubi said as Naruto walked into the chamber. The fox was tall measuring at two stories tall, his reddish orange fur and nine tails in all their glory was held back behind a gate with gold bars that grew gray from all the years and depressing thoughts from Naruto. The blood red eyes bore into Naruto like it pitied him or it could be they wanted to destroy him.
"I have a job for you...actually it's a job for us." Naruto said as he walked to the center of the chamber.
"And who exactly is this job from? If it is from that ningen with those cursed eyes, you better give me control for a good forty eight hours." The Kyuubi said as he showed his large fangs.
"No, the job is not from him...it's from bro." Naruto said getting a burst of laughter from Kyuubi.
"What would that hanyou want that would require us...unless it's to kill that ningen with cursed eyes." The Kyuubi looked with eagerness in its eyes.
"No, we have to destroy a man...while saving everyone else." Naruto said as he was answered with a swipe from the Kyuubi's claws, that only missed by inches.
"I thought he was cold and heartless, like the dragon he merged with. Either way, I won't help." The Kyuubi said as it withdrew it's paw.
"We are also not in the same dimension or universe where we once were..." Naruto said as this caught the Kyuubi's attention.
"So all the ningen you two knew, are not near?" The Kyuubi asked getting a nod from it's jailer. "Then kit, you are in luck...I feel in a giving mood." It said with a toothy grin. "But if I get something in return." It said as Naruto was about to leave.
"What is it...I will make sure that is done as long as it is in reasonable means." Naruto said.
"We don't go back...that is all I ask. I'd rather be away from those cursed eyes and in some place I know not of, than having to do that man's bidding because we are not strong enough yet. Now, leave before I decide to do more than lend my power." The Kyuubi then turned and laid down on it's front paws before concentrating.
"Your help is appreciated Kyuubi-san." Naruto then bowed and turned as he walked out of the chamber with a red wave of energy following.
When Naruto awoke, he saw a man about the age of sixteen or seventeen holding Ryoko. Once he seen her face as she looked at him, he knew he was a friend. The malevolent aura of the Kyuubi swirled around him as he got to his feet. He just grinned as he looked up at Kagato and the man. "You didn't think that killed me did you Kagato?" He said as he showed his new grown fangs.
With Tatshi...
"I wonder what the price is this time..." Tatshi said offhandedly as the women looked on and actually felt the energy Naruto gave off.
"What is this power? It's nothing I have every felt." Ayeka said as she was leaning onto Mihoshi.
"This power...i felt it once before. It can't be...it should have died by now." Washu said as she looked at the man. Tatshi looked at her.
"You know of the Bijuu? This is interesting indeed." Tatshi said as he continued to play the depressing tune with his guitar.
"Kyuubi...never thought another baby of mine would appear." Washu whispered, but Tatshi caught it.
"You created it? Did you create the rest of the Bijuu?" Tatshi asked as she looked at him.
"No, I only created Kyuubi. There's more?" She asked to get a smirk from Tatshi.
"I guess the power must have influenced the others. They do say power is intoxicating." Tatshi said as he stood up. "Don't worry ladies, it seems the Kyuubi is cooperating this time around and allowing Naruto to use the power in a right state of mind. So he won't hurt this Tenchi you adore."
With Naruto...
The man, Naruto found out was named Tenchi was thrown into a pillar. As Naruto was done standing up and having his wounds heal. "Tenchi, I can sense it awaken your true power and stop playing around or you and all you love will die!" He yelled just as Kagato unleashed a force making almost everyone stop in place.
"Insolent man no matter what power you have, you can not defeat me." Kagato said as he evaded a swipe of red chakra.
"Who says I'm going to defeat you? No, I'm just here to kill you after Tenchi defeats you!" Naruto said he then forced Kagato into the ground before leaping away feeling an energy just as strong as him or even more powerful awaken. He looked over and seen Tenchi transform, he had different clothes and now wielded a sword unlike any Naruto has seen.
Kagato got up as he too sensed the energy from Tenchi. "Impossible, the link to Tsunami was cut off. No, it is coming from you!" He then threw blasts at Tenchi, who just blocked them with a energy shield that looked like a wing. He then sent giant diamonds at Tenchi who just swiped with an energy sword, destroying them all. Kagato then came out of the smoke charging at Tenchi with an energy sword. "I've got you!" He said as he was about to slice Tenchi, who just reform his shield into a sword and met Kagato half way with his charge. Then blew past each other as the attacks connected. Tenchi had a slight gash, but it was all energy that was flowing from it, he was unharmed. "Tenchi...the same name as the master key, well done Tsunami. Tenchi can't be copy splendid plan. You've won boy." Kagato then fell face first onto the ground.
Naruto then walked up to the man as he looked up to him. "I told you I was going to kill you after he defeats you...now get ready to meet someone." Naruto said as he laid his hands on Kagato's head and Youkai began to seep onto him before being pulled back. Kagato yelled as slowly his body began to deteriorate and being absorbed into the Youkai. The Kyuubi's chakra then faded from Naruto as he walked and grabbed his cloak, that was on some rubble.
With Tatshi...
"About damn time...they took their sweet time." Tatshi said as resealed his guitar.
"How can you say that?" Ayeka said as she looked at him.
"I can and will, because if I were there I wouldn't have to worry about anyone else getting caught up in my attacks unlike Ryoko and Naruto." Tatshi said as he put the scroll of the guitar in his cloak.
'A boy who can create the wings of the light hawk huh? A man who can use the power of the Kyuubi, and another man who has the same powers that I have, but also uses different techniques.' Washu thought before shouting. "I want to study them all!" Tatshi just stared at her.
"I don't have a good feeling about what you said." He said blatantly before they all disappeared.
With the others...
Naruto just looked on as Tenchi transformed back as the power faded. He then seen Tatshi and three women appear, seeing one as Ayeka he was a bit weirded out. He looked up from his position sitting down, to see Tatshi walking toward him in his child form. "Yeah?" He asked.
"You took too long...you need to learn more than wide range of destruction jutsus." Tatshi said blatantly before offering a hand to help him up.
"Now if I did that, we wouldn't have been able to successfully do those missions or get away from those hunter nins now would we?" Naruto asked with a smile.
"No matter, what done is done. Now what is the price that Kyuubi demanded?" Tatshi asked as it was consistently on his mind ever since he made the message.
"We stay here and don't go back..." Naruto said as he looked away from Tatshi.
"Okay, that's reasonable with me. Is it with you?"
"You know it has to be...or it will try something."
"Then it's settled, we will stay here. It's funny, we won't have to deal with hunter nins anymore. This feels good for once...not being able to worry about having to stay undercover or any suspecting shinobi." Tatshi said as he turned around to meet the face of Washu, who was walking toward them.
"I'm Washu, nice to meet you." She said as she held her hand out to Naruto, who shook it. "I see you have Kyuubi inside of you, may I ask how?" Washu asked, but before Naruto or Tatshi could answer the ship slanted. "Hmm, the ship was also cut too." She said.
"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" The woman yelled.
A/N II: Finally done, this is a long chapter. As some may figure out that most lines are Canon yes, but some are not. So take that in mind before asking "Is this going to be Canon?"
The answer is both yes and no, I will have Canon lines and scenes but there will be scenes completely made by me. The pairings will start to grow and conceive in the next couple of chapters. I know that Naruto only used three jutsus, but as it said most of his Wind and Water jutsus have too wide of an Area of Effect to use when he was fighting. As for the accident where Tatshi becomes a hanyou, it will be in the next chapter.
As for the 'not returning back' part, don't get all panicky and ready to flame because I won't have them return to the elemental countries. They won't, but who's to say Akatsuki, Pein and Konan, or anyone from there won't to them? That my friends and readers is for you to find out.
Now I'll try to update this and the story this is based on, so cut me some slack. I'm an amv maker, a writer, and I help my friend with server maintenance. So, I am a busy man. I'll try to work hard for all my fans and drop some reviews please, don't just read without saying something.
Ja Ne...
