Chapter 1. End of A War
"Sasuke, the Next time we meet in battle, both of us will die, You know that right?" Naruto Asked he's best friend and even better rival Sasuke Uchiha, the raven haired teen looked at he's friend with streams of blood running down he's face, he's eyes burning with determination as he stared down the blonde in front of him, he's vision was blurred however he could see he's rival clearly as he smirked "I know that so here's my question for you Naruto Uzumaki, Will you kill me and be a hero, or will you let me live and be the failure I've always known you as?"
"Neither" Naruto said simply as he smiled to he's confused friend, raising he's left hand up in the form of a fist "Weither I live or die, I know that by the end of our battle, you'll return to us like the old days, Kakashi Sensei, Sakura-chan, Everyone from the leaf village is waiting for you to return, so believe me when I tell you this Sasuke... I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU".
The Memory had faded in Naruto's head as he stood opposite of he's greatest rival, the war over, the one that had taken many lives thanks to the return of the most feared Ninja of all, Madara Uchiha and the Goddess of Chakra Kaguya however with the power of the six path sage. Naruto and Sasuke along with the help of Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake had sealed the goddess away for good, no longer able to threaten the lives of Shinobi ever again, however Sasuke now had he's own goals, with Madara's effect of the Infinate Tsukiyomi still covering the moon, everyone was wrapped in their own personal genjutsu, all except the 4 heroes, well that was until the greed and vengance that flowed through the Uchiha had gotten the better of him, aiming to kill the strongest ninja's and leaders of the world, the 5 kage in their comatose state. However, Naruto had challenged him to one final battle, a battle that would shake the world and have massive implications on weither or not more death would come.
Sakura had tried to stop her long time crush and team mate however with Sasuke's Powered up Sharingan and Rinnegan, he made Sakura believe that he had killed her, showing he didn't care for her and to keep her out of this fight, Kakashi knew he wouldn't be able to stop the duel with he's own Sharingan eyes fading away once he had used Perfect Sasuno'o in the battle vs Kaguya, the legacy of the copy ninja had ended there but the rise of Kakashi the 6th hokage would follow soon.
Sasuke and Naruto took the battle to a familiar spot, the second time they faced off, the first being at a hospital rooftop that drove Sasuke over the edge at Naruto's increased strength. The second and perhaps final time would come at the valley of the end, the place where Madara Uchiha and the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, master of the wood style faced off in their epic battle.
But now the next generation of the Will of Fire vs The Uchiha Legacy stood facinvg each other, Naruto Uzumaki, 17 years old, host of Kurama, the nine tailed fox and Sasuke Uchiha, also 17 years old and the Strongest Uchiha of he's Generation staring each other down from the heads of Hashirama and Madara respectivly.
"I won'te let you kill the 5 kage's Sasuke, if you do that, you'll be the enemy of the entire world, I can't let you do that!" Naruto shouted, hoping the message got through to he's friend however Sasuke would give him that arrogent smirk he had been known for "Hmph you really want to fight me over some old people who have done more damage to this world then good, think about it Naruto, with no leaders in the world, I can unite this world with this power of the six path sage".
"That's not how this works Sasuke, these powers were given to us to protect the world, to save the Shinobi, how can you use such power to control everyones lives with power and fear, the 5 nations have united, we united for this war, we worked together to face Madara and Kaguya, hell even me you and Sakura got back together, a team seven reunion to beat Kaguya, doesn't that tell you anything?" Naruto asked, hoping that he's friend would see the light soon.
"Naruto... We saved the world, however do you honestly think that the world has united as one? Think about this one dumbass, this is the world who took everything from us, Your parents, My parents, My brother, he had to become evil to protect the ungrateful leaf village, he had to kill my clan, I can't forgive this world for something like that, I ABSOLUTLEY CAN NOT FORGIVE THEM!" Sasuke shouted with he's eyes flaring up, one red and black, the other silver with rings through it "And I swear Naruto if you want to stand in my way any longer, I will put you down right here... RIGHT NOW!"
"Go ahead and try Sasuke you won't be able to defeat me" Naruto countered with a determined attitude as Sasuke would glare at him "NARUTO!" he shouted as he charged forward, Naruto doing the same "SASUKE!" and in the middle they had clashed, the force of the two blows cracking the faces of the two legendary Shinobi while they traded and blocked punches, Sasuke's Sharingan Eye following all of Naruto's moves, Naruto would have he's sage mode activated, picking up the blows that Sasuke threw however some got through and vise versa, dueling on the head of Madara now since they needed land.
For 5 minutes of taijutsu, testing the waters of each other, Sasuke would decide to step up the game as he jumped back through the air "Fire style, Dragon flame Jutsu!" he shouted before releasing a powerful stream of fire, Naruto on the other hand would put he's hands together in a cross symbol for a very familiar jutsu "Shadow clone Jutsu" he shouted, a single clone grabbing him by the back of he's torn jacket, throwing him to the side to dodge the raginf flame before one more appeared to push Naruto above the statues and Sasuke, now looking down at him "I won't hold back Sasuke, not this time" he commented, rasing he's hand infront of him, he started pulling out chakra to create Resangan however this one was much larger then normal "Great Ball Resengan!" he shouted before throwing it at Sasuke.
Sasuke however would just glow Purple with Sasuno'o making a early appearence in this match, rasing up he's hands, he caught the ball as it blew up, leaving Sasuke with no harm done as he smirked "Is that all?" he asked in a smug tone, Naruto however just grinned as the chakra from the 9 tail fox and from the 6 path sage surrounded him "Not at all" he commented before taking it to the next level, showing off he's six path form, he created 9 resengans infused with the chakra of the tailed beast, from the 1 tailed shukaku to the 9 tailed fox, he launched all the spheres at the big large purple body guard of Sasuke who countered by firing off a Arrow, peircing the first one and setting off a massive detination as the explosion had wiped out half the statue, Naruto now floating as the dust cleared, Sasuke in the head of the perfect Sasuno'o who was just grinning from inside he's protective case, Naruto on the other hand hated to be out done, clapping he's hands together, he released a massive ball of chakra which formed around him, creating a cloak of the 9 tailed fox who stood toe to toe with the Ultimate Jutsu of the Uchiha's Sharingan eyes "I gotta hand it to you Sasuke, I didn't expect it would be this hard, but then again, it would be boring if it was over quickly".
"Looks like we aggree on something else dumbass, after all, you are my one and only rival, Don't let me down after all of your big speaches about bringing me back, after all... that is your nindo... your ninja way right?" Sasuke asked in a Mocking way as Naruto just grinned from the head of the fox cloak "you better believe it's my Ninja way Sasuke!"
And with that, the two titans of power clashed, Perfect Sasuno'o vs Kurama, the water below was hitting the land in waves as the ground shook around and below them, Sasuka and Naruto both giving powers to their fighters in hope to over power the other one and in one swift Move, Sasuke's perect Jutsu had lifted the chakra cloak of the legendary beast high into the air before dropping them "Now Naruto, it's been fun but I have a world to recreate without you in it" he said coldly.
Naruto would look up to see the perfect being in the Jutsu world above him who summoned up a arrow made out of chakra, placing it on it's bow as Sasuke infused it with Amaratsu flames, deciding to attempt to counter it, Naruto had pointed out he's hands, forming a ball of pure destructive energy in the mouth of Kurama's chakra form "You'll have to lock yourself in a genjutsu to see that world because I don't plan on dying untill I become Hokage!" he shouted back before firing the tailed beast bomb the same time as Sasuka shot he's perfect black flame arrow downwards, the two attacks clashing before exploding, clearing what was left of the valley of the end, shaking the ground for miles.
Speaking of Miles away, a pink haired Kunoichi was finally waking up from the ground after her run in with Sasuke. Sakura had sat up, clenching at her chest since she had thought she had been stabbed. However Kakashi was there to make sure she wasn't dreaming "It was only a genjutsu Sakura, Perhapse Tsukiyomi or he's powers have increased to make someone believe it was real, either way, you're fine now" he told her, getting a sigh from the young Kunoichi who felt the ground shake "W...What's going on? Is Sasuke and Naruto fighting Madara? Oh god he's alive?" she asked, remembering that he was split in two when Kaguya appeared but it was Madara so anything was possible.
"Madara's dead... however you weren't far from the kunai hitting the target, Sasuke and Naruto are fighting... but it's with each other" he told her straight out as she seemed shocked "What? Why? What's going on? Why is Sasuke doing this right after we saved the world together, as a team?" she felt pain in her heart, hearing her two best friends outside of Ino were fighting each other to the death was sad to hear "I...I've gotta go stop them, If I don't they could one or both could die" she was ready for take off, however, Kakashi was standing there, holding her back "Don't do it Sakura, you know this is a rematch coming for a long time, after all... they are now the two strongest Ninja's in the entire world... but only one can be the strongest and the strongest one can have he's dream come through... Naruto dreams for a Pefect world as does Sasuke but in different ways... Naruto wishes to become Hokage and create bonds that help develop the world with he's new powers... Sasuke however wants to use he's powers to crown himself King of Shinobi, using that rare strength to kill the current Kages and scare the rest of the world into bowing down to him, either way, the world will change and they will lead us into the future of Shinobi... just how I don't know".
Sakura stayed and listened to her mentor as she looked up at the sky, the the explosion that rocked the land had faded off as two titans had once again clashed into each other, driving her elbow back, she caught her teacher with a hard shot to knock him to the ground, making the grip on her non existant as she looked down at him "Sorry Sensei but I can't live in a world where my team mates have to kill each other to follow their dreams... Sasuke and Naruto can change the world together and I'll make sure I can help them relize that" she smiled down at the weakened silver haired man before heading off to the battlefield with Kakashi looking at her vanish "Good... Luck... Sakura... Bring them... both back". he said weakly before passing out.
Naruto and Sasuke would be staring each other down, Claws and tails clashing with twin swords, the power shaking the world however, their chakra would be draining and the two would pull away, landing on the water as their chakra cloaks would fade into oblivion, Sasuke's rare eyes going back to onyx black as for Naruto, he's six paths chakra and sage mode would both fade, leaving the two normal like regular humans, they were drained but both refused to give up, making a mad dash at each other, they started swinging like kids fighting in a park, a duck and straight punch from Naruto winded Sasuke thanks to a blow to the gut however Sasuke countered with a fist to the face, busting Naruto in the eye as blood ran down he's face, purple swelling soon coming to close he's eye shut, however Naruto wouldn't take kindly to that, wrapping two hands around the back of Sasuke's head, he pulled the Uchiha right down into a lifting knee, a crunching sound could be heard as the pretty boys nose broke on impact.
Sasuke staggered back when Naruto released him, bringing up a high kick to Naruto's blind side, catching him in the face, sending him spinning, however, with the momentum of the spin, Naruto caught Sasuke in the cheek with a back hand, busting he's lip open before the two hit the water, puffing and panting, groaning in pain before they got back up, Sasuke getting to he's feet first as he gave a kick to Naruto's face when he couldn't defend himself "Have...Haven't you... h... had enough... yet... Loser?" he asked, looking down at Naruto slowly getting back to he's knees, going for a kick to the ribs this time to drive the wind and blood out of him "Just give up Loser... I'm better then you" Sasuke said puffing.
Naruto however was never one to back down, getting to he's hands and knees once more as he coughed up blood and tried to get wind back into he's lungs, of course Sasuke would try to drive it back out however Naruto caught the foot one armed, looking up at he's rival with a grin "Sorry... No one ever taught me how to give up" he slowly got back to he's feet, holding Sasuke's foot before pulling him forward, driving he's head into the softer forehead of Sasuke, splitting he's forehead open with blood now running down the right side of he's face "You know Sasuke... you should just give up".
Sasuke staggered back but staying on he's feet as he would glare at Naruto, he's right eye closed to keep blood out of it "I will never quit to some half ass, second rate, Ninja wannabe, I am an Uchiha and we NEVER QUIT!" he threw a punch however Naruto caught it "Half Ass... Second Rate... A Ninja Wannabe?" he mumbled before he's free hand met Sasuke's face, a hard fist into the closed eye of the Uchiha to keep it closed as Naruto went on the Assult, throwing punches and kicks to hit the Uchiha wherever he could "I've used my whole Ass my entire Life, My legacy, my strength wasn't just given to me, I had to scratch and claw to get it, I might be the 4th Hokage's son, I might be the student of Jiraya of the Sannin, I'm even the student of Kakashi Sensei who was trained by the 4th hokage, I'm even the host of the 9 tailed fox, But I never used ANY of it to get ahead in life, you clung to your families name like you deserved it, but I can tell, you trained hard, you felt like you wanted to bring pride to your clans name but you took every shortcut possible" he paused to knock Sasuke to the ground... looking at he's bloodied hand "I walked alone, making friends, Like Iruka sensei, Like Konahamaru, Kakashi Sensei, Sakura-chan and even you Sasuke, I worked hard for those relationships, I bled for everyone, I almost died for everyone, I faced My inner demons everyone feared, I took on the harshest training to become stronger, I manned up and took on the strongest of foes, Orochimaru, The Akatsuki, Obito, Madara and Kaguya, None of those I would stand a chance of beating if I was some half ass, Second rate wannabe Ninja... My strength... and My Legacy... comes from my friends and my Ninja way... so Sasuke... stop this... stop this fighting... you know that if we continue this... we'll die".
"Shut up..." Sasuke spoke from the ground, slowly getting up from he's beating he's skin was now red and purple with blood and bruises however he stood up to look at Naruto in the eyes "You talk and talk and talk like you know me, you think that My Legacy will be of friends and the will of fire? Well guess what dumbass, it's not... My Legacy has been fuilled with nothing but betrayal, from My brother, to my family, to my village, to the entrie world, even those I thought I could call friends turned their backs to me... that's why... I have to continue walking this path of darkness... there is no going back for me but Naruto... you... were my only friend... I know that now... but for that reason... I have to kill you so I can walk into the darkness with no Light behind me... following me... telling me to turn back... I need to end that light and you with it".
Naruo would see Sasuke's hand start flashing with dark lightning a chaotic chidori as he sighed "Don't say I didn't warn you Sasuke, I'm glad you see me as a friend... even if it's your only one but... I can't let you kill me here, Sasuke you remember what you told me when we clashed after you killed Danzo? Will I kill you and be a hero or will I die and be a failure? well here's my answer..." he put he's hand to the side, putting what chakra was left into he's right hand as he smirked "I'll stop you and save you with this last attack"
Flashback of every colision the two attacks ever had came to their minds as they slowly started walking then running, the vision at the hospital where Kakashi interupted, the final showdown when they were younger at the valley of the end the first time, Cursed Sasuke level 2 vs 1 tailed Naruto, then the clash they had under a bridge and now it was this one, the clash to change the world.
"NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"SASUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"STOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP!"
Naruto and Sasuke would hear a third voice as they looked to the side, still running as they clashed, lightning vs spiralling Chakra, chidor vs resengan, Sakura there watching her friends clash for the last time as she ran towards them... maybe if she can pull them apart, she can stop what was to come however when they got close enough, the blast went off, engulphing all three of them, the strength of the Ying Resengan and the Yang Chidori had come together and swallowed them whole, however instead of obliterating the three Ninja's instead they were pulled through the fabric of space and time, however as the portal swallowed them, the left arm of Sasuke and the right arm of Naruto was pulled off, breaking at the elbow, they were thrown somewhere else. as for the rest of them along with Sakura... they would find themselves in a whole new world.
