Disclaimer: I Don't Own Naruto or Sekirei
In a forest somewhere in the Elemental Nation
Panting and dripped in sweat a figure with a mask only exposing his eyes. Both of his eyes where showing off the two most powerful Doujutsu's known yelled at a blond man equally exhausted on the other side of a big clearing.
"Why do you keep fighting for them? Even disregarding the Kyuubi sealed inside you you've truly became a monster for what? If you succeed do you really think you'll achieve peace?"
The messy and spiked hair blond was 5'11 wearing a pair of black goggles over his eyes, with a leaf Hitai-ate around his neck, he also displayed the leaf insignia on a blue fingerless glove on his right hand, there was a dark green gem necklace that hung slightly below his collar bone. His shirt was a simple orange short-sleeved fishnet shirt that seemed to be undamaged even when small cuts seemed to be all over his body, he also had black Anbu pants and he had two side pouch's on his left side, a slightly bigger one on his right and a large on the backside to the right with a huge blue shark-like sword over his right shoulder that hung diagonally to the left.
"Shut up" he yelled in rage "You don't know that. Besides After I defeat you there will be no need to fight encase you haven't noticed the entire Elemental Nation has came together even the smaller country's the the expressed purpose of making sure you'll never brainwash everyone in a false illusion peace, so that we can strive to have peace the right way. It may not happen instantly but it'll still be better than what you will do by far"
A second figure appeared out of thin air next to the the masked one with long black hair reaching the middle of his back wearing a red samurai like armor and a battle fan on his back spoke up in a calm and bored tone while giving an annoyed look to the blond.
"Your wrong. Not only do you have not have a chance at defeating us Naruto, but after this war, there will be just as much bloodshed as always if not even more. Think about it I was able to defeat the so called leaders of your alliance single handedly. While you might have been able to show up in time to save them they still lost and won't be recovering soon."
The now identified looked slightly shaken but not because of what the Edo Tensei Madara said but because he showed up. 'Dammit that means that Itachi failed in finding a way to destroy him after he was able to break away from the control Kabuto had over him. I knew I screwed up using the Rinnegan's Human Path's ability to learn a way preform the Edo Tensei, then proceed to use it on Kabuto after he killed him and force him to deactivate the said jutsu was to simple of a plan'
"Don't tell me you honestly thought Itachi had a chance?" Madara asked in a mocking tone "While he was definitely strong and earned every bit of the genius prodigy that everyone thought he was he was still not on the level as me and neither are you"
Naruto growled in frustration and the backhanded compliment Itachi was given. 'Come on, calm down Naruto. We went through all that idiotic training the stupid pervy sage gave us so that we wouldn't lose our head with taunts like this, which basically was Naruto sitting trapped by a seal he sat on why the pervy sage got to throw any and all insults he could think of at him.'
"Are you sure you didn't just run away from Itachi and show up here to help yourself ….. or the fake you …. you know you guys never did explain what was up with that." Turning his head to address the masked man while still keeping a watchful eye on Madara
" Were you just impersonating Madara because you are insignificant and no one would take you seriously? Or are you a clone thing from cells like Zetsu or that huge ass abomination of Hashirama Senju? If So I totally wiped the floor with those things so I can see why " Naruto nodded his head in the direction of Madara "He'd be scarred you'd just get annihilated as well since he seems more attached to you than them even if he was peeved when I did that" Naruto smirked when he seen Madara give him a glare which in Naruto's opinion, would be more intimidating if he would have had his Sharingan spinning when he did so.
"Oh wait I got it. Your actually Izuna but after Madara viciously stole your eyes you guys did some weird ass jutsu that combined your bodies, I've see it happen two brothers sharing a body and all. I wonder did you kill Madara out of revenge and then tried to follow his stupid plan of making the moon our eye or what ever plan out of guilt? That's it right?"
To Naruto's disappointment it didn't seem to get get a rise out of either of them besides getting Madara to glare, nor did they seem that they would divulge him any more information on the masked man.
"Don't tell me that this is your fleeting attempt to stall for time and to desperately quarrel your own quivering fear of losing all the tiniest spec of disappearing hope you fooled yourself into believing you had?" The masked man asked in the cold almost indifferent, void of all emotional connection lecturing voice he always seemed to use when explaining to him that resisting was useless.
Letting off a laugh Naruto responded "Don't act like you've won already, shouldn't you have realized that I have a tendency to make disasters of your plans forward progress or was it your plan to let me kill Kabuto and then control all the Edo Tensei summons to kill every last one of your Zetsu clones. Let me guess it was also by your own will to let me find a way to steal and seal up all the other Bijuu inside myself?"
"Those are nothing but small obstacles, seeing as once we defeat you we will finally have all of them just as we planed. It matters not whether or not it's the way we expected as in the end the results will still be the same."
Naruto reached to his right hand and removed the glove to expose the hand possessing the Bakuton bloodline hand he was forced to steal from Deidara after his own hand been blown off early in the war.
XX Flashback XX
Kurmara had told him that he'd be able to integrate one of arms for Deidara if he could quickly attach it to himself or even with Kurmara's help, he'd be unable to ever use any right arm no matter how much medical attention he could get.
At the time Naruto didn't question the reasoning as he was losing lots of blood and was hysterical the he'd actually be so stupid and let his fucking arm blown off by someone he knew was capable of, but later when thinking about it he thought Kurmara just said that to try and give him a power boost of some kind of way of wanting to give him the greatest chance of not falling under control the the Madara again he mused but whenever he brought it up to Kurmara all the giant fox did was tell him that he did no such thing, and that he was a puny human that needed to worry about other things.
Worst of all he didn't have to lose his arm in the first place. No he just didn't want to expose his secret weapon that he got as he wanted to use it as a Trump card at the very end. Naruto learned from his mistake though and started wearing black goggles with seals covering them to hide and prevent anyone from seeing his eyes as him and Kurmara had accidentally received a set set of eyes or something Kurmara tried to explain it to him once but all he understood was that he still had his normal eyes but when used a concentration of yang chakra it was as if he had the Mangekyo Sharrigan from the Crow containing Shisui's eye that was forced down his throat by Itachi. He knew Itachi didn't intend for it to happen but he was happy as it gave him a better chance against Madara and ended up never telling anyone about it.
The same thing some how ended up happening with Nagato as well when he used that outer path to revive his own life inside of Naruto giving him the Rinnegan which was activated by a mix of both yin and yang chakra. Naruto thought this was great except for the fact he was indisposed for three weeks in the middle of the damn war healing and being put under change to accommodate his horrible yet good luck in helping him get stronger.
Overall between having to learn them and getting Samehada to like/love him and becoming partners after Bee had been captured and he Absorbed the Bijuu he was under the so called Shadow clone training constantly for almost a whole year since he was told he wouldn't be able to use any of the Bijuu's power not only because Madara could possibly control him better because of them but also using more than one of their chakra if even by mistake would rip his body apart releasing them and allowing Madara to recapture all of them.
After that rigorous training regiment he went straight after Kabuto with his half-ass-ed plan to stop the Edo Tensei people and the Zetsu things and turn the war around which amazingly worked mostly.
XX End Flashback XX
When Naruto shoved his hand into the pouch on his back side, both Madara and the masked man let out an amused laugh.
"So using your special goggles in an attempt to stop yourself from falling under direct eye contact based Genjutsu and to restrict the amount of your moves are telegraphed along with the inferior techniques involving the Bakuton stole in desperation are supposed to give yourself a chance of beating us here? Don't make me laugh" The masked man spoke condescendingly
'Dammit he's right as long as I keep these goggles on my Sharingan is extremely limited to just observation and coping which is amazing but it means I can't use the Mangekyo jutsu's, because the same seals on my goggles that are protecting me are also stopping me but at least the long the fight draws out the better I can use my eyes as the masked man used it in ways I could never even think of and I doubt Madara will hold back on me either'
"I wouldn't laugh if I were you after all I was kicking your ass if I remember correctly. That intangibility jutsu of yours was been countered by my fathers Hiraishin no jutsu continuously unless that was some plan of letting me tire myself out by becoming my punching bag. If that's the case it was failing dismally." Naruto smiled in satisfaction when he seen his muscles tense and glare dagger at him.
Before the masked man could make a rebuttal Madara cleared his throat. "I'm actually surprised your were able to learn an advanced skill, but as you said it was your fathers so he probably just left a manual for you to learn step by step, which shows that even he knew you didn't have a chance against me, and wouldn't be anywhere near as skilled as him." Naruto's muscles tensed as he let a low growl out at the comment "I must say he was very formidable to realize you'd be just as weak and useless as your own mother. I mean ..."
Before he had the chance to continue his remarks Naruto charged at him at full speed while charging a full Rasengan in his left arm through his chest which Madara dodged due to his Sharrigan giving him enough ample time to be prepared for the action.
"Don't. You. Dare. TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER" Naruto screamed as keep charging Madara with a Rasengan while he was always easily dodged allowing Naruto's Rasengan to smash into the dirt created a small dust cloud "Stay still you fucking bastard so I can kill you"
Charging once again with another Rasengan Madara stopped and allowed Naruto to thrust his arm through where his chest was only to let him Realize that he'd lost his temper and Madara went into a intangible state and lost sight of the masked man and he was now vulnerable.
"Surely you didn't lose your composure and reason and forget that I'm not your only opponent now did you?"
Naruto could see a slight arrogant smirk flash across Madara's ghostly appearance as he slowly moved a couple feet away as the masked man threw a hand through the back of his chest. He slumped slightly allowing the hand that was through his chest support him and coughed up some blood.
"We can see you pumping your chakra to encase your entire body but it's no use you don't have enough control of your chakra to heal these wounds, plus you know if you use the Bijuu's to help heal yourself, you'll have already lost."
Naruto slowly reached out and lightly tried to push Madara away but it had no real force behind it,he hands were slapped down after his feeble powerless push touched Madara's body.
"It's now just a matter of time. How long do you want to drag this out now." The masked man said in his ear then hummed before finishing. "Why must you always do things in the most difficult way?"
Naruto gritted his teeth then with a sudden yell of 'KATSU' echoing the clearing, Naruto exploded taking out both of them.
Smiling he let out a breath he'd been unconsciously been holding. 'hahahahaha they fell for a clay clone just because I was encasing it and myself with chakra when I used the replacement. Sometimes the simplest method is the best solution' deactivating his Sharrigan behind his goggles he allowed himself to let out his childish gloating comment.
"How superior is the Uchiha clan now dumb ass" As soon as the words left his mouth he widen his eyes and instinctively leaned to the left but wasn't fast enough as a hand actually was impaled though his lower right shoulder by the same hand that his clone had been.
Madara used Kamui to appear directly in front of Naruto as his was mentally cursing for not unwrapping Samehada yet, as that would have not only prevent this it'd help, even the playing field of the amount of chakra usage on both sides. Thankfully with whatever those two did to release Madara from the Edo Tensei meant he no longer had unlimited chakra.
"Your consistent desire to prove that anything your capable of doing will change the results of this fight is becoming repetitive and unappreciative"
Madara moved to position himself so he could stare at where his eyes were behind the goggles. Madara moved his hands to the goggles in order to remove them grabbing the strap at the base on both his temples.
"Now why don't you behave for once" Madara activated the Mangekyo Sharingan ready to force him to sleep, finally able to put an end to his ability to keep fighting "You fought gallantly but in the end you still lost. You can die knowing that you did everything you could but were still unable to compare to the power of the Uchiha clan."
As he started to take off his goggles Naruto closed his eyes and activated the Rinnegan. 'OK maybe I was just a tiny bit to hopeful, believing that they would really fall for that last trick but lets see if at this range with them both being tangible will be able to deal with the Human Path's power. I should at least catch one of them before they realize what happened.'
When Madara see's Naruto's eyes closed while again encasing himself in chakra for no reason since he didn't even have a single clone around, he took it as a sign that he had finally accepted fate and was ready to give up.
"I'm glad you see it our way Naruto, your struggling was useless now open your eyes and this will all be over, you fought hard. In the end peace will still be achieved so you can die happy can you not?"
To Madara's surprise and shock Naruto's hand suddenly shot to and gripped the hand sprouting through him before smirking and opening his eyes displaying his Rinnegan in full power.
"Sorry but theirs a reason why I'm known for never giving up and being the most unpredictable ninja there is" Naruto announced loudly through a strained voice.
Madara jumped backed back a few feet before Naruto could try and grab him as well. The masked man only hearing Naruto's proclaim and seeing Madara quickly creating space ripped his hand out of him swiftly not noticing that the moment his arm left Naruto's body that he had dropped dead showing that the Human's Path laid claim to his soul never allowing him to know what happened.
After the arm had been removed from his body he knew he had finally ended the life of the man he'd been fighting for almost an hour prior to Madara showing up. With hesitation he leaped back just far enough to have the dead masked mans body directly ahead of him and Madara in a straight line of sight.
Naruto felt his body try and give up and dropped to a knee spitting blood off to the side deep in thought 'Fuck Fuck Fuck I was able to deal with one of them but the same trick won't work twice as it won't have the same stunning effect that it did. OK first things first get rid of this body before Madara does some stupid freaky Uchiha elite only jutsu to bring him back, I worked to hard to have to deal with him again. Shit I'm pushing it to much as it is I really need that damn clone to be ready to go into sage mode or I really will lose'
"I guess your unpredictability overflows to that nickname you had earned right before this war started huh? Who would have you would take to being called the Demon Chimera to the extent to steal the Rinnegan, although maybe I shouldn't be surprised after all you stole an arm already." Madara stated now recovered from the surprise of Naruto having the Legendary Doujutsu.
Naruto unstrapped Samehada and laid it down beside him as he was losing his strength and Samehada wasn't the lightest sword by any means. Upon taking it off he leaned forward a little more and used his left hand and braced it on the masked mans dead corpse to keep balance still glaring at Madara.
"If your trying to check if he's dead the answer is yes, there isn't a skill that can avoid the inevitable fate of having the Human Path's Soul Removal preformed on them." Madara spoke harshly while looking at Naruto hard reevaluating what he had previously thought about him.
Naruto grinned showing that his mouth was bloody and that it had smeared on his teeth while getting a syrupy look to it proving using his chakra to try and clot it or thicken his blood was working to some level.
"hehe I told you before that it didn't matter how much better or stronger you were I'd still wouldn't lose because unlike you I possess the will of fire." He spat out some more blood.
Suddenly a small puff of smoke engulfed the corpse that Naruto's hand had been on. When the smoke clear Naruto's hand was on the ground instead of the dead body.
Amused at the display Madara asked "Was the fact that you were going to seal his body into that small storage seal you placed in your hand as you took your sword off your back supposed to be a secret? Well it's not and honestly I'm disappointed that you didn't try and use that swords ability to harvest what chakra was left in his dead corpse to use yourself but I guess you have a hard time thinking with the amount of blood you've lost or is it that when I defeat you, you at least want to die knowing you were able to take one of us with you?"
"Shut up" Naruto growled out "You keep taking about how your going defeat me, but all I've seen you do is to try your own failed plan after failed plan, and you know what? I'm still here kicking so why don't you actually do something I mean seriously can you actually even fight anymore or did Hashirama Senju's ass beating teach you that you that your so weak, you have to win before actually fighting otherwise you can't beat anyone?"
"My mind isn't weak enough to be clouded by your foolish attempts to goad me into making a mistake. So how helpful do you believe your sword will be against me? Even someone with your level of intelligence should realize that I won't ever be tangible long enough or at anytime that will allow it to siphon my chakra?" Madara was still waiting patiently watching the spectacle of the Kyuubi brat struggling just to stay awake with a calculating eye. "I won't even be forced to fight you you'll pass out soon even with your so called Will of Fire you were unable to win."
"Samehada I won't lose after coming this far take what chakra you have to and lend me your strength I'll make sure that by the end of the day you'll be able to devour all his chakra you can take it's a promise of a life time so please just help me for this fight girl" Naruto spoke to the sword quietly and sincerely as he loosened the wrapping restricting her growth.
Samehada slowly ate a small amount of Naruto's chakra making the scales becoming a little more prominent, coming to a stop when the Rinnegan faded out of Naruto's eyes.
Shaking his Madara couldn't believe that even in his current state he was still willing to give his chakra to the sword as he was bleeding to death making promises that he couldn't keep.
"You shouldn't lie to your sword you know. Look at yourself you won't even be able to swing the blade now, not to mention even if you were in perfect condition, would you be able to keep that promise. This is really pathetic at one point I honestly believed that since your, your fathers son, you might actually be able to fight me and force me to take you somewhat serious"
Hearing a small purr from the sword responded softly "Don't give me that Samehada I won't lose here I don't need that chakra." another slightly longer purr "You let me deal with that, you just bring your appetite when I put you through his body letting you eat all his chakra you can."
Naruto closed his eyes and attempted to get up only to falter barely catch himself. Madara had enough of his rambling and took the fan that was engraved with his clans symbols off his back and charged preparing to knock him out.
'This can't be the end. So what if he's faster, stronger, smarter, more experienced, and overall more powerful than I am. I've fought people like that all the time. If I lose here everything I've been fighting for will be for nothing. Everyone is counting on me I can't let them down dammit. Please Lady Luck give me just a little help here, you know I love you more than anyone. I promise if you help me here we'll have a nice big wedding after I die so please, love help me with this one just a little bit.'
Naruto could feel Samehada nagging him like always that he needed to stop relying on his self proclaimed mutual love of a higher being, as well as warning him that Madara was closing in and needed to act now if he was going to do something.
Thinking as fast as possible about everything he might be able to do 'AHHH I need more chakra and time why does this have to happen to me why can't...wait what was that...there was something he could feel pulling and nudging in the back of his mind...It couldn't be the Hiraishin no jutsu seal he didn't even have close to enough chakra to preform it now...what the hell could it be, did he forget something?' Sudden a foxy smirk plaster itself across his face 'OH yea I forgot... seems like when I die I'm going to get married...hehe but first to show this prick that I should never be underestimated...EVER.'
Madara swung his fan at Naruto's head. Seeing his fan connect and sent him flying through the woods eventually hearing the crash he chased after him to collect his prize that he'd wait for so long to get his hands on tying all his loose ends together and having his plan finally become reality.
When he entered the area where Naruto crashed he was taken back. There where he should have found a young man passed out and maimed barely alive waiting for him to take everything he'd worked so hard for was Naruto standing tall with orange outlining the outside of his eyes with rectangle pupils showing the tale tale signs that he entered into his Toad Sage Mode with his sword swung over his left shoulder purring loud and contently.
"How were you able to enter that? I made sure we were able to destroy all the clones you had running around before I even got here and the only clone you made since I showed up was the clay clone that you made in the that dust cloud your Rasengan cause and you used it to try and kill us. I also know you didn't gather nature chakra when you your stalling for time I was monitoring you closely so that this exact situation wouldn't happen." Madara was furiously thinking of when or how he was able to get create one without him knowing.
Displaying his trade mark smile Naruto decided to chastise Madara seeing as it was rare to unnerve the undying zombie thing he had became.
"I really don't have the time to waste talking to someone who even with the Sharrigan is to blind to see me make a simple clone" With that said Naruto jumped and made to slash Madara.
Not willing to let that monstrous sword get close enough to him to allow it to siphon his chakra he evaded to the left. Madara mind was still racing dodging numerous strikes and slashes that was being thrown at him while never letting Naruto out of his sight for a second. He kept playing over and over everything that happened in the fight so far which was less of a fight and more of the brat struggling, but still couldn't pinpoint when he could have missed him summoning a clone and he needed to figure out so that he could prevent it from keep happening or this fight would never end.
'Samehada you should be eating and storing as much of the chakra as you can until I'm able to get the perfect opportunity that he can't avoid me gutting him with you.' getting a purr in confirmation he kept attacking Madara in vain.
"That's it" Stopping his attacks he stuck Samehada into the ground preforming the Tajuu Kage Bushin creating hundreds of clones that immediately went and preformed Rasen Chou Tarengan that encompassed all it's surroundings destroying all the tree's and themselves in the process leaving only a giant waste land in it's wake forcing Madara to be come intangible to avoid getting caught up in the attack. Quickly going through a long set of hand seals Naruto yelled Suiton:Baku Suishouha upon completion,allowing a small torrent of water flow from his mouth throughout the clearing.
"That was anti-climatic theirs not even half an inch of water covering this small area. After you went through all that trouble to make the clearing larger" Madara was trying to figure out why he'd use that particular jutsu if he was only able to create such a small amount of water while trying to goad Naruto into making a mistake.
Without acknowledging Madara even speaking, started on another set of seals calling out Doton:Yumi Numa allowing the earth soak up the recently spilled water creating a deep and thick swampy environment. Naruto grabbed Samehada out of the swamp before she could sink and put her on his back.
Madara's eyes widen in realization "You were encasing your body with chakra in our fight earlier. At first I thought you were just trying to reenforce your body but that's not the real reason was it?" When Naruto glared at him giving Madara all he needed to know his theory was correct.
"I should have known instantly why you were doing it, I guess it goes to prove that I underestimated you to much seeing as you learned that trick from Kisame didn't you? Hiding your a clone inside Samehada and constantly let your chakra flare and encase your body so to let it go undetected was rather smart but now that I know how I you were able to do so, I can fight you seriously"
A quick use of Kamui combined with a stream of Amaterasu engulfing the place Naruto was standing.
"hmm that was a fast Doton :Dochuu Senkou. So making this swamp had been more than just trying to make me waste quite a bit chakra staying above the ground I see."
"Even you'll be using a lot to keep your head above the surface while it takes next to nothing for me while in sage mode. How long are you able to stay intangible? That's really chakra taxing from what I seen old man." Naruto hoped that he could force Madara to use all the chakra possible while he had limitless for a limited time.
"Yes I had almost let it slip my mind that you have the Rinnegan. I'm surprised that your not using it now, but I guess there is always weakness and drawbacks you trade off for anything to a power boost. You should feel proud I know that I can't afford not to fight you with all my power, there won't be anymore underestimating you. Using the Rinnegan against you won't effect you nor will using the Mokuton work properly while your using Nature Chakra."
"Does that mean your going to fight or talk some more I'm getting impatient, not everyone can waste a 100 years just to to watch there life's work slip out of there reach so come on and bring it already" Naruto created 200 Kage Bushin that littered the outsides of the clearing.
"I'd say that mouth of yours was going to get you in trouble someday but you won't live long enough for you to take the advice to heart"
With that being said Madara flared in preparation for something that Naruto didn't seem to be willing to wait to see, as every other clone went through the exact same set of seals and in unison belted out Doton: Doryuudan creating a ring of mud dragon heads that started spewing constant projectile of mud at Madara.
Madara quickly understood that Naruto using sage mode could quite possibly keep the mud projectiles constant for as long as as he could stay intangible, not that it mattered since he was already done gathering the chakra needed for what he planned anyways. He formed a complete Susanoo just in time to block the projectiles.
"It doesn't matter how much mud you shoot at me there's nothing that can cause me harm while Susanoo protects me" Came the arrogant calm voice of Madara from inside the skeleton.
Even before he declared that the shadow clones that weren't keeping the the Doryuudan's active had been prepared the Senpou:Chou Oodama and made a b-line to the Susanoo avoiding the other clones jutsu before jumping into the air making a downward impact while the ghostly warrior swung his sword around wildly destroying many of the onslaught the clones where providing.
Madara took note the vague surrounding change that had been taking place since the barrage of mud from the dragon were spitting and noticed something that most others would overlook and quickly became intangible as he watched his Susanoo slowly sink fully into the swamp as he canceled it after 11 minutes, when the seemingly endless attack came to a halt signaling that Naruto's Nature chakra had finally ran out.
After a quick check over the area closed his eyes and preformed a Kamui that took him to a clearing a fair distance away materializing on a tree branch.
Naruto whirled around in shock and looked up to where the oldest and last scion of the Uchiha clan. "What are you doing, running away? After you went so far as to promise your sword to let it kill me and everything." Madara spoke as he jumped down to the ground staring at Naruto.
"I thought I'd be far enough away to escape your sensory range or at least far enough to buy me time to renter sage mode but there goes my wishful thinking you keep feeling the need to stomp on" Naruto tried his best to hide just how spent he was on after coming out of Sage Mode, and Samehada's chakra wouldn't help right now since without being able to meditate he'd turn to stone since all she had was nature chakra at the moment.
"Don't sell yourself so short, I was lucky not to be sank into your swamp with Susanoo as it would have drained my chakra dry until I died. Using your Sage Mode to draw all the chakra that came into contact with the swamp forcing nature itself to absorb all excess chakra it could mainly mine through my water walking technique and Susanoo was quite genius of you most people wouldn't have noticed" It was one of the first times Naruto remembered having him give a honest compliment.
"hehe I thought so as well I was hoping you'd let yourself sink in for at least a little bit before you caught on, but I guess Hashirama Senju considered you a rival in power for a good reason. Truthful I'm rather proud though by doing that I was able to force you to use Izanagi if the fact you only have one eye open is any indication, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you'll decline my request to have 5-10 minutes of alone time so I can gather enough Nature chakra again right?"
"Your assumptions are correct even I'll be pressed to fight you in that state." Madara raised his eyebrow after some thought and cautiously questioned "You've got me curious though how do you know of Izanagi?"
Naruto allowed a smile to grace his face "You already know how I know of all your skills so why ask?"
Giving him a nodded his head at the confirmation "I truly didn't give you the credit you deserved. Not only were you able to hide your Rinnegan from everyone but had enough control of the Human Path to remove a soul from just there arm instead of there head, your control far surpasses Nagato's"
"That's not true just the Human Path my other Path's aren't nearly as good I focused on it as much as possible in order to beat Kabuto and thought in doing so you'd be out of the picture as well but it seemed as though you took care of that vulnerability before I could capitalize on it. On a higher note though I did find out who the masked man was although it was kinda disappointing in the end" Naruto said in a rather disappointing tone.
"I figured as much"
With that Madara blazed through some seals sprouting out tree's that were able to rip and gouge Naruto's left side and legs before he was able to act accordingly leaving his left arm bloody, broken, and useless. His side and legs now sported large gashes from where the tree's tried to rapidly grow through. The worst part about this for him though was that thanks to the jutsu Samehada had been ripped away from him and was currently out of sight.
Naruto cursed in pain dropping to a knee. "I thought we were having a polite conversation what the hell was that for?"
"Don't insult me, did you think I wouldn't see your sword slowly feed you the nature chakra it contained? Knowing that I don't have the luxury of flat out killing you is allowing you to make very poor choices"
"I really didn't want to have to resort to this as I'm not sure if I'll die as well and it isn't something I can just test but I don't have any other option if I want to win" saying this remark gained even more of Madara's attention then he already had if possible.
"You still have a trump card that you think will allow you to win? I'm beginning to see just how resourceful you can be with the amount of contingency plans to win you seem to have."
Suddenly a puff of chakra smoke alerted Madara that Sakumo Hatake appeared beside Naruto with the tale tale sign of being brought back to life via Edo Tensei. Madara was slightly perplexed at the evident choice in Naruto's contingency plan.
"I had expected more. Sakumo was a great ninja but he was even below what you are now so why choose to summon him?"
"It was a matter of him being the closest, not of skill, although I would think you'd learn not to underestimate someone by now"
"Your right but seeing as it was a matter of him being closest not that of power to do intend to just throw your undead soldiers at me in hope that eventually you'll win?"
Naruto gave a thoughtful look before looking away and asked a question seeming to himself more than Madara.
"I've been wondering if making one of the Edo Tensei revived soul use the Shiki Fujin.Would it take my own soul or just theirs? Even possibly both, hmm not that it matter since were going to find out huh."
Realizing what Naruto intended to he quickly used Kamui to get over to Sakumo and released Amaterasu on his body while kicking Naruto in the side into a tree with a loud thud before using a sealing method to rendering Sakumo useless. Turning his attention back toward Naruto he was forced to use another Kamui to avoid a Rasengan through the chest.
He had used the Kamui only to reappear starring into a set of Mangekyo Sharrigan with a four-point windmill design. Suddenly detecting danger he readied his body only to stop knowing that doing anything would be done so in vain as this an unavoidable outcome at this point. Madara suddenly felt Samehada shred it's way through his chest missing the vital organs to the point to ensure a painful death of either blood loss or lethal chakra exhaustion.
Now that the sword was in him his brain was crawling with questions. Why had this been unavoidable, couldn't becoming intangible or even another quick Kamui been enough? How did Naruto have the Mangekyo Sharrigan, and Shisui's Sharrigan at that? How did he know where he would Kamui to there was just question swimming everywhere in his head. He knew that now there wasn't an option though, as that damn sword would consume any and all chakra he tried to mold to do anything, all he had now was to wait for his death.
Even with all his questions he was only able to voice a single word shakily. "How?"
"How was I able to make yourself believe that there was nothing you could do to prevent what happened? If that's what you want to know then you don't have to look any farther than my eyes." he said coldly
The single eye Madara possessed that could open looked at Naruto disbelieving as he understood what he just meant, as he seen the Mangekyo fade into the normal Sharrigan in his eyes. The fearful Kotoamatsukami had been used on him and worked perfectly without him expecting a thing twisting his very thoughts to that which the user wanted just like he was supposed to. That was one of thee most covenant jutsu's any Mangekyo user could have.
"Or did you what to know how I was able to locate you and arrive before you could even completely materialize?" Naruto's heartless stare saw Madara's eye groggily twitch as if begging for the knowledge in his last moments of life, to which Naruto obliged simply stating "Hiraishin no jutsu,. Your Kamui is superior in ways such as not having to tag a place, person, or object, but since I already tagged you I was able to instantly teleport to where you were to materialize before you actually were able to finish materializing. There is nothing on this earth faster than the Hiraishin no jutsu"
Madara coughed up blood that that was clogging his own throat, trying to ask when but only coming out in low murmuring gurgle sounds barely audible.
"Nod if you are asking when I was able to mark you ,because I'm really looking forward to telling you"
After a small inclination of his head Naruto gave a smile showing he was enjoying this, while finally understanding why people loved to Monolog when they felt they were in total control.
"I never did" Naruto was so happy he had the Sharrigan active so that he could always remember the pure look of total loss and confusion that was on his face "My clay clone did. You were only half right earlier when you said I was encasing my body to hide my clone inside of Samehada. The clone encased himself in chakra to try and tag you which you allowed to because you let your guard down in your own arrogance, you failed to look under the underneath. I couldn't use it earlier because of the chakra requirement and honestly I don't think I could use it again until I rest. Just like everything else, unlike you I was willing to risk everything including my life to fight for my belief and that why just like you did against the first Hokage you lost to me."
Naruto heard a slight purr before grinning "Samehada says that it was insulting calling her a sword as if she was a mere object, and she's enjoys eating all your tainted chakra in retribution." after a small laugh he spoke to Samehada "I told you that this would happen so why are you surprised I pulled it off?"
Madara couldn't believe it all his hard work was for nothing. The Rasengan he avoided that turned into his downfall wouldn't have been fatal if he had taken it. Did he really lose because he wasn't willing to risk his life? As the blackness started creeping into sight from the corner of his eye he decided that he'd throw away his clans pride not to lose here to this man and that damn sword.
Samehada suddenly alerted Naruto something was wrong Madara had just rushed any and all chakra he had to his left eye but whats more his body felt different now than it had a second ago for some reason. Naruto's eyes darted all over his body watching as Madara's body become... well became something that seemed to be left behind by his entire chakra network, what was happening? Was this how the Eternal Mangekyo Sharrigan reacted when dying?
'No, This isn't supposed to be happening, he's using Izanagi to try and become a chakra construct like the Buji. He is really trying to defy death even more than he already has, I can't let this happen or there won't ever be true peace'
With a plan made on the fly he told Samehada to keep doing what she was. while he sacrificed his own right eye to use Izanagi to force Madara's soul to stay in his body and simultaneously using the Preta Path to Absorb all the chakra that he had been using to make his construct body.
Feeling his own Izanagi fight Madara's was overwhelming somehow even while dying Madara was over powering him with the density of his chakra. He was losing and would lose at this rate so he called out.
"Samehada feed me your chakra I need more. I need all I can get he's overpowering me please Samehada I know you finally got the chance to eat him and I'm taking it away but I need it" He could feel her worry for him as she fed him chakra in compliance to his request.
Feeling that even with Samehada's Chakra boost he'd lose he called out to Kurmara to help him since Madara's could no longer use his eyes to control him. Without warning Naruto's vision went pitch black and he woke up need deep in water in a familiar sewer.
'Crap did he trick me?' Feeling Madara's chakra inside of mind he panicked dashed to where the Bijuu's were being kept.
When he got to the cage he noticed all the Bijuu at the front of the bars looking at him. Before turning there attention a corner covered in shadow. Madara slowly stepped out from the said corner with both his Mangekyo Sharrigan blazing.
"What how the hell are your eyes opened I know your using the Senju cells to help reopen your eyes and increase your stamina but to be able to recover both in less than 10 minutes is bullshit. Why did you need the Bijuu if you could constantly use Izanagi you could have already completed your plan before I was even born!" Naruto desperately accused.
Madara kept his eyes glued to Naruto who was staring back at him. Taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out he turned his attention to the Buji. Seeing this Naruto rushed between them skidding to a stop.
Raising his arms as if to take up more area to shield the Bijuu more from Madara "I don't care if can fight forever without losing I won't allow your to enslave them as long as I can still breath" Yelled in anger as his left eye went back to the full force of his four-point Mangekyo Sharingan. "I still have one more chance to use Kotoamatsukami and even another Izanagi that you damn well better believe I'll use if I have to in order to protect them."
"You've won Naruto he can't harm us anymore so you don't have to strain yourself anymore" Came a deep familiar voice behind him letting him know it was Kurmara that spoke.
"The Kyuubi is correct that I am no longer capable of harming or controlling them." At Naruto's narrowed eye he elaborated "This is a side effect of our chakra manifesting and the clashing Izanagi combined with you using the Preta Path ability to absorb both jutsu's. It was unexpected that you'd try and absorb both at the same time I planned on either overpowering your Izanagi you'd use to try and keep me together or uses the excess chakra from the chakra construct with the Senju cells to re-open one of my eyes and escape and wait to heal and fight later when I had both eyes and you would still be with only one." Madara said as lecturing himself for not expecting it.
"So I really did it this time, not just hopeful thinking?" Seeing Madara's blank stare he smiled and jumped in the air with his hand raised. "Hell yea Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze the Demonic Chimera Once again prevails. Once again women all around to world can go to bed knowing the man of there dreams is still alive and unstoppable hahaha..." striking a thinking pose he adds "Although they might be crushed to find that the day I die I'll be marrying Lady Luck"
The Buji sweat dropped at this. Madara just shook his head not believing the drastic changes in Naruto's personality since he disappeared with the Jiraiya those years ago or that this is what he lost to.
Kurmara asked a question he often got into argument with Naruto about "Remind me once again how your not a pervert like your late sensei?"
Turning around and point at the fox and talking loudly "Don't start that again. I have way more game than the pervy sage could ever dream of."
Kurmara rolled his eyes. Seeing Naruto and the Kyuubi about to continue there little debate Madara coughed to catch there attention seeing as there where things he needed to do and didn't have much time left.
"We've already realized your only going to be here for a short amount of time" Kurmara said as the Representative of the Bijuu's as they had to always focus contain all the chakra all the time so not to kill Naruto until he was able to free them. "So say what you have to before your no longer in the plane of existence pathetic human."
Naruto nodded at that before hearing Madara "As I was saying you have indeed beat me and stopped any chance of my plan ever succeeding as I'll no longer exist as soon as the chakra your absorbing is complete like the Kyuubi said"
"I know I'm so happy now the world will have true peace and not a fake illusion of one" Naruto couldn't help but make the cheap jab at the old man.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that" Seeing Naruto's entire demeanor change brought a smile to his face "The simple fact that you were able to beat me almost assures that your peace is impossible."
"What are you talking about you bastard everyone is fighting together and on the same side already with you gone there will be no need for anyone to fight anymore"
"Such a naive way of thinking I almost forget that your only 17 and haven't been exposed to the truths of human nature"
Kurmara's voice growled out interrupting Madara "You've already lost just shut up and die in silence"
"See Naruto even the Bijuu's know what I'm talking about"
Turning to look at the Bijuu when he went to look each in the eye they didn't meet his eye but instead turned there head or looked down ashamed. "Guys?" he asked in a quite almost scarred voice.
"Naruto" Naruto turned back to Madara confused "You single handily defeated me. Someone that was able to fight and win against the five strongest world leaders by himself" Seeing he still didn't understand he went on "You've not only becoming the single strongest thing to grace the Elemental Nations you've also tamed all the Bijuu and when everyone finds out, which they will that you have both the Rinnegan and the Sharrigan what do you think there going to do?"
Seeing that he still didn't understand Kurmara said one sentence that shook Naruto's view on the world "They'll fear you kit because it's human nature to fear the unknown and power, you are the pinnacle of both now."
"Why? I did this all for them why wouldn't they just see me as a hero? I don't want to be cause everyone to live in fear, if that happens it'll do nothing but create more animosity and war and there wont be peace." he yelled in desperation.
Seeing Kurmara give him a sad look he feel to his knees staring down at his hands in defeat. "After everything I sacrificed so that no one would have to live in fear your telling me that I've done the exact opposite" Naruto had tears streaming down his face as he felt cold reality hit him.
"You could have become a hero and achieved peace if you'd have died while taking me out in the process but that is no longer possible for you" Madara might have lost but he still didn't want to see someone that beat him come out unharmed even if it was just mentally.
Naruto stopped and looked to Madara quickly before hearing Kurmara respond as if hearing his thoughts.
"No sacrificing yourself now would also be useless as it'd release us and create a war of everyone trying to control our power again. I'm sorry." Feeling lost again Naruto looked up at Madara in the middle the speech.
"That's why you didn't say I won, you agreed you were going to die and couldn't harm them or anything but never said I had won this is why." It was a statement not a question "Everyone already knew it but me... I seen the Kages and everyone else look at me with hope when I left to confront you as they went to deal with what was left of the Zetsu's. I know they all hoped I would really win sincerely but they're was something else as well, I thought they had fear I'd fail but that wasn't it. They had already began to fear me just like when I was a kid" New tears started to stream down his face as he finally cam to terms it.
"What's more is now that you are taking all my chakra whats going to happen to you? I know you didn't steal Shisui's eyes as it'd be impossible, the one with Danzo was lost forever. Itachi could have given you his left one via that crow he had but you have them in both sockets. My theory is you some how replicated it by absorbing it's chakra, which would also explain how you got the Rinnegan, I didn't figure it out till you used the Sharingan but that's how you did it right?"
The defeated Naruto gave a dull reply "Whats your point"
Madara rather enjoyed that he was going to possibly push Naruto to become unstable "Well is the same thing going to happen with me?" Naruto's entire body froze and then started to shake "How is it going to feel becoming immortal and knowing that your mere existence alone will never allow the peace you kept claim to fight for happen?"
"That enough Madara. It doesn't matter if it's in human nature to or not Naruto is capable of over coming anything" Kurmara roared
Naruto suddenly stop shaking and started laughing before slowly standing up and wiped to tears from his face. "Both of you are wrong" The simple statement got everyone's attention
"How do you figure we're wrong" said Madara dripping in condescension
"I can still sacrifice myself becoming a hero without starting a war over them trying to capture the Bijuu as they won't have anything to fight for" He said in determination
"I didn't think you had it in you to betray the Bijuu but even then it's only a matter of time before they come back."
"No. You've created a pocket of dimension that was able to sustain chakra before I could do the same."
"It might sustain chakra but it'd kill you as it'll only keep and replenish nature chakra. So unless you plan to be in Sage Mode till the end of time which your body, even if immortal couldn't take and they'd be released upon the earth again so the points moot."
"Who said I'd ever try and live there?" The ijuu and Madara not understanding gave him dumb looks. "The Bijuu are made of nature chakra all I have to do it create one large enough for them, and I could use another Izanagi to create enough chakra in there to let the Bijuu live peaceful forever. Without me or them here they'll both can live happy" Ending with a one-eyed grin he stunned everyone.
Madara fades into nothing before Kurmara spoke up "Kit do even know what the consequence's of such actions could have on the entire elemental nations?"
"I don't care! You know as well as I do that they're won't ever be peace for you or us if I don't do this, and maybe your right it's in human nature to always create war and never be in peace but I'm going to try my very best." Naruto put his head down allowing his bangs to cover his eyes then spoke in a soft tone "At the very least I'll give you guys the chance to have peace. There is nothing left for me in this world anyways I've lost everything gaining power to save everyone. Madara was right they fear me I know they do, even the people that loved and cared for me. I know they still care but I can't live with them knowing every time I look into there eyes that they fear me."
Kurmara gave a look of sorrow to Naruto "For what its worth I'm sorry for all the trouble we've caused kit"
Naruto chortled "You kidding me? With you constantly healing my body I've done what other men could only dream of" Putin his hands on his hips sticking a pose and looking to the side in a distance while puffing out his chest " I've gained a body women can only worship and beg to spend a single night with"
Kurmara and the other bijuu sweat dropped at that " You've taken far to much after that perverted sensei of yours. Your just lucky your more charming that that man or no woman would like you without you paying them, just like him"
"Oh shut up I'm nothing like that lowlife pervert! I might appreciate the female body as much as him but I don't go peeping, and groping ever girl I can. I respect them, I just kinda like flirting a lot. I understand why girls do it all the time it's fun to get them flustered an all"
"So are you really going to do this? It could become awful lonely after you do this you know. There won't be anyone you know alive left when your done that you can be with."
"You know you should watch yourself or I might think you care about me" Seeing the giant fox scoff at the remark he smirked "Besides I won't be alone I'll have all the company I need between Samehada and Kubikiribocho cause I don't care what you or everyone else says I'm still convinced Kubikiribocho is just as alive as Samehada I just haven't found how to talk to her yet"
"You know the way you consider inanimate objects females and show them compassion is almost as retarded as your belief that Lady luck is real, furthermore that shes in love with you. You do know that right kit?"
"hmmp Jealousy is unbecoming of you"
Rolling his eyes at the puny human's stubbornness in believing in stupid assumptions that had no basis. Seriously the kit could show amazing amounts of intelligence and creativity making elaborate plans like the one on Madara and then they're other times he was like a small child whining and throwing a tantrums about his imaginary friends it was irritating.
"So where exactly are you going to go to do this? You know it'll take some time to get used to the new chakra your going to have and your control is going to suck till you get it under control. You left the Toad contract with that small flesh bag and erased your contract with them so you can't train it there either"
"Hey I had a damn good reason for leaving it there and canceling it and you know it" Naruto was glaring at the unamused fox "And for your Information I plan to use my Kage Bushin training method till I collapse constantly to get control again. Then when I'm done and after I seal you guys away in your own oasis I'll use the third level of the Hiraishin no jutsu to create a time pocket to the future. When I get there I won't be the same person I was though"pausing before getting a solemn look "I honestly hate that I'm doing this, I'm giving up everything I cared about just for a hope that I'll be doing something good. When I get to the future I'm not going to do that again. I'll look for my own happiness, even if everyone ends up hating me and calling me a villain. It's selfish I know but I feel I earned it...I just hope I don't die of old age somehow using the third level."
"Die? Your immortal why would you be concerned about dying?"
"Wow your superior amazing super intellect is astounding no wonder your so great" Kyuubi was glaring daggers at the obvious amounts of sarcasm that he said that with "Madara was immortal as well yet he died came back to life then I killed him, then theirs that Hidan guy or Sasori, hey what about Kazuku and Orochimarau."
"Alright I get your point but what are you scared of chakra exhaustion or something? What in the hell can kill you?"
"Aging I wouldn't put it past Kami in a jealous fit of envy of mine and Lady Lucks love to make me become an immortal 112 year old wrinkly old man . Kami can be spiteful you know" Naruto left right after saying that and he was happy he avoided Kurmara lecturing him how his love interest was a lie.
Naruto had disappeared leading everyone to believe he had died while taking out Madara in the fight eight months ago. He had left to find a place he could train his newly acquired skills and fine tune his chakra control before attempting to create a pocket dimension for the bijuu. Taming the senju cells in his body took almost two entire months of abused shadow clone training to do, and he had known how to do it via Madara and fake Madara's memories. He was very happy he didn't have to do that from scratch or he'd never of figured it out.
At the end of his training period he was extremely pleased with the results. He finally mastered all the path ability's of the Rinnegan. He was sufficient in all the elements, except fire which confused him. He could use sub-elements with fire as a base really well but just fire chakra by itself, it took twelve times the normal amount of chakra for only decent results it irked him to no end. He didn't dare try and master all the elements though he didn't want to waste the time. Maybe some other time if he got bored and wanted to do so for a few decades.
His new Sharingan looked better than he thought it was his normal Mangekyo one but a small version of Madara's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan at the pupil but a thin blue line circled the outside separated the two, his theory was it looked like so because his Sharrigan overpowered Madara's Sharingan during the Izanagi and his own eye became a buffer of some sort. It also enhanced his eye techniques.
He also no longer had a mouth on his hand. He had designed a seal to allow him to activate and deactivate with chakra like a living sealing scroll of sorts. Although no matter how hard he tried he couldn't make the seal invisible so it looked like a giant tattoo.
The place that truly amazed him though was his medical skill. Now it was still no where near godly but it was better that waiting for it to heal naturally by far. He had tried and worked so hard to gain as much as possible because he was sure that after the bijuu were gone his regenerative powers would at the very least plummet if not vanish and he needed to take care of himself who knew what the future had in store for him, he had been right about that as well they took a vertical nose dive.
He had thought when he sealed all the Bijuu away he could go get ready to use the third level of the Hiraishin but kami had decided to intervene and took something he valued more than the Bijuu's peace. Had he known the price he would have wandered to world for eternity having them sealed in him.
At the end of the sealing process his body started to erode into nature chakra. The influx of chakra was to much for him to handle himself. Naruto never imagined when creating chakra even with Izanagi it cam from a source. It had started to build within him then transfer over to the new dimension. The only thing that saved him was Samehada had done her sword crawl over to him and felt the pain and combined with him becoming the median with her powers but even so it took its toll.
Samehada didn't give him the shark-like features she normal did for the process but instead, she en-lined and enforced his entire chakra network making sure he could handle the influx. It cost her the ability to ever reemerge from Naruto. She'd always be in his chakra network for his entire life.
Naruto immediately after finishing thought she had died and cried, screamed, cursed everything for two days. It wasn't till he tried to meditate that he found out. He'd been planning to get control of his chakra once again and put a memory block on himself. It was then that every once in awhile he could feel a twinge in his chakra, not one that lost control it was more like a feeling. Samehada had survived to live on in Naruto living forever feeling everything that he would feel forever.
After coming to terms he sealed Kubikiribocho into his body, dressed in the most obscure cloak he could he used the level of Hiraishin no jutsu he dad had only dreamed of. The complete true pinnacle of Space-time jutsu, the third level. Black lines encompassed his whole being and then he disappeared.
