Prologue: Hero's Endless Story

Drip... ...

Drop... ...

Drip..., Drop
Even though his body was soaked with the freezing rain that fell around him, he somehow managed to stay awake throughout this bloodied night with only the warmth of his tears and certain Demon fox's words to comfort him. Somehow managing his thin sanity to stay in control for the rest of this night filled with loneliness, sadness, and deaths.
Drip-Drop...
Like tear drops from heaven, it was raining, The constant sound of dripping water drops echoed soundlessly throughout the eerie silence. Jewel-like rain drops endlessly fell from the darkened sky down to the crimson dampened ground in a harmonious rhythm that tore away certain someone's abandoned heart. Brief appearance of lightning flashed across the empty ruins of buildings, houses, and the once cheerful village's popular shops only remained into nothingness. Rain drops mercilessly splattered on the bloodied earth as thunder roared in anger and for brief moment, The light entirely showed the battlefield filled with corpse, blood, and broken weapons scattered across the Konoha village. Despite the lurking darkness, A lone soul still tried to live. The burning 'will' of determination desperately glowed, a small speck of life trying to survive.
But the threatening shadow of death quickly approached and he was fully aware that he wasn't going to survive.
Drip... ... Dro-...p...
Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto was smiling, despite the tear and the pain said otherwise. Four years have passed - a period of peaceful four years - since he defeated Madara and brought Sasuke back to Konoha. The blonde-haired Shinobi is now Twenty-Four years old and became the Special ANBU Captain of Konohagakure no sato when he was Eighteen years-old. His most famous nicknames were 'Fox' and 'Dancing Kamikaze'. Bounty hunters and Rogue ninjas never thought twice about trying to capture him because of his unbelievable amount of bounty. The infinite number of money left every citizens and ninjas awestruck. He is famous and widely known as the Savior of Konoha and all Five Great Shinobi Countries admired him. His greatest accomplishments included defeating Uchiha Madara in Fourth Shinobi World War, Resealing the destructive Juubi back to the moon, and ending the Cycle Of Hatred between the Shinobi Nations. The illustrious blonde's legendary fighting skills frightened yet amazed everyone with his god-like speed and incomparable power that held lethal gracefulness. At such a young age of 19, He achieved fullest control over Toad Sage Mode and Fox Sage mode. He was also the sole user of Kyuubi's chakra and successfully mastered few demon techniques. Proud son of Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage and the hero of his village, and Uzumaki Kushina, a loving mother who also saved the Konohagakure no sato from Madara's evil intentions with Kyuubi.
But now, Naruto lay dying in the streets of the once proud village of Konohagakure, slumped against the wall of what was once a school, blood pooling around him which seems to be more than what the average human body could contain. Was he even a human? Naruto bitterly chuckled to himself until coughing harshly as blood painted his hands. He stared at the deep red wine-color and slowly lay his hand besides his broken body.
Craters were visible on the grounds of Konoha no sato, no matter where you looked. And the houses and even the Hokage Tower were destroyed. It almost looked like a hurricane had just gone through the village, and not to mention the thousands of corpses lying in the streets, with their blood running in the ground with the rain. Their body didn't even resemble human anymore but mass of rotten flesh.
And only a true monster can do all this cruelty.
"Ku ku ku ku ku…" 'Speak of the devil...'
Everything exploded into bright red and suffocating amount of killing intent blasted against the presence currently in front of him.
Naruto felt hatred, anger, and burning-raw emotions of revenge as he heard the familiar disgusting laughter. It wasn't even a real laugh, just the sound of amusement, like those maniac and mad scientist who enjoys watching people's pain and deaths. A sound that was to make those who heard it realize that they were hopelessly outmatched and that their enemy didn't even feel it was worth the trouble of actually laughing at their wasted efforts. To let them know that they would soon die, just as their friends had, just as their people had, just as hundreds – maybe even thousands or more– had before them.
Lying broken and defeated at the feet of Sasuke, no, Orochimaru. The man who is responsible for this tragedy to happen, just because of his own greediness and ambition, he killed thousands of people.
Slowly Naruto lifted his head from the mud, spitting blood from his swollen lips and pushed his blond hair that was once beautiful like a bright sunlight but now a crimson red from blood away from his face so he could glare at the cruel eyes sparkling in amusement peering down at him from Sasuke's face.
"Orochimaru...!" Naruto angrily spatted at the mad scientist who fully controlled his brother's body.
"You're still alive Naruto-kun? Why don't you just give up and stay quiet? That way I can make your death less painful." The snake chuckled in amusement and bitterly narrowed his slitted golden eyes in obvious distaste.
Snarling, Naruto gritted his teeth and reddish chakra flickered around him. Orochimaru in Sasuke's body was his most terrifying nightmares than he ever imagined. He knew this would've happened, the nightmare he was aware of but didn't face the fact and tried to escape the cruel reality that Orochimaru would soon take control of Sasuke. Perhaps the four years of everlasting peacefulness in Konoha made him forget the painful hardships he endured through his hellish childhood and loneliness. He only wanted the peaceful moments to last forever, But in the end, He was just a coward who couldn't face the harsh truth. He'd pretended to believe that Sasuke had truly defeated the snake Sannin, that the danger had passed with Akatsuki and Madara finally defeated, but, during those peaceful years Orochimaru was lying dormant within the last Uchiha. Slowly yet successfully gaining more and more power until the Snake Sannin was ready to take over and when he was; It happened almost instantly like a heartbeat- and the next thing the Jinchuriki knew, Orochimaru had miraculously returned with fully mastered 'Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan'. Everyone tried to save Sasuke but to no avail, The legendary Snake Sannin was stronger than the blonde thought he was. Several armies of Otogakure and other rebellious countries sent a surprise attack against the weakened Konoha and Orochimaru had once again used the forbidden Jutsu to forcefully bring back the legendary ninjas to life, including Uchiha Madara and the Ten-tails. The Suna, Mizu, Iwa, and Kumo tried to send reinforcements for Konoha but they were also attacked by the powerful enemies and couldn't help.
And now, the village that he loved so much was destroyed. The battles, the wars, losing people in such gruesome deaths, and now the once beautiful and peaceful home drastically turned into ruins with lone survivor. He wasn't able to save it, just as he hadn't been able to save Baa-chan or Kakashi-Sensei Or Sasuke or Sakura or any of his friends, his precious people. He didn't deserve to live with all those broken promises and the sacrifices he made and the mistakes he caused. Now, the one who is responsible for all those losses, pain, deaths merely stared down at him with a cruel expression that totally was misplaced on Sasuke's face as he amusingly watched Naruto pull himself up from the mud the rain caused… all the while making that annoying sound.
"Ku ku ku... Ku ku ku! You amuse me so much Naruto-kun... Why do you even try to live? You failed to protect your home, your friends, and saving Sasuke from me."
"I'm... gonna... fuck'in kill you!" Naruto spatted as he wearily brought his hands in support.
'Kit...! Unleash me! I'll crush that annoying head into pieces! That motherfucking snake is gonna pay for looking down on me!' Kurama shouted angrily in Naruto's mind as the demon desperately tried to convince the blonde but even the Kyuubi was fully aware that Naruto didn't have much time, He was way beyond healing in both mentally and physically and even the strongest Nine-tail couldn't do anything against death. Not to mention that bastard-Orochimaru had put a Snake Seal on his cage, successfully cutting-off his chakra connections with the Gaki.
'Dammit...! Dammit! DAMMIT!' The blonde cursed and helplessly watched as Orochimaru disgustingly took out a sword 'Kusanagi' from his mouth, The legendary blade blended with the ominous gray clouds as the rain continued to fall from the darkened sky. Truly yet hopelessly, Naruto still wanted to fight, He wanted to kill this bastard who only brought death and hatred upon his precious comrades but to no avail..., He couldn't even move a muscle and unconsciously his mind slowly inched toward the darkness of eternal slumber.
"You failed to protect your friends from me! You were too weak to protect your so-called precious people!" The Snake Sannin chuckled amusingly.
"It's over Naruto-kun... You're going to die..., Any last words?" Orochimaru laughed cruelly as he gripped on the Kusanagi's handle and pointed its blade toward Naruto's chest, exact location where his beating heart was located. The blonde chuckled bitterly as his conscious started to fade away from losing too much blood and slowly little by little black spots invaded his mind. His world began to spin and stir, his surroundings darkening with coldness of rain splattered throughout his pale face. Helplessness and hopelessness painfully choked his throat and his eyes threatened to let out his tears in sadness and pain but no, he would rather die than showing any weakness in front of this disgusting Snake bastard. But in the end, nothing changed this harsh reality.
He failed.
Flickering light slowly began to disappear within Naruto's dull eyes. 'I'm going to die...'
'GAKI!'
Suddenly, The familiar voice of Kyuubi echoed through his blurred mind. Momentarily, Naruto widened his eyes in surprise and shock.
'Kit... For the past few years you started to change and now you're like a whole different person. Where is that annoying brat who's always determined? Where is your nindo you truly believed in?' Kurama's crimson eyes softened but the burning emotion never wavered.
His eyes widened further at the demon fox's words.
'You're pathetic! You always go on about never going back on your word and never giving up and here you are in front of me like the helpless child you were all those years ago. Have you forgotten your dream?"The demon Kitsune looked at the broken shinobi in front of him awaiting a response.
'...How am I going to achieve a dream that seems farther now than ever? That dream means nothing to me now! I've lost everything... everything that I was supposed to protect with all my heart and soul! Kurama, I don't deserve to become a Hokage if he can't even protect his village and the people he cherished!"
'Shut it brat! That doesn't mean you have to give up now and wallow in your misery. It's true you will die but at least die with honor.'
The demon's chakra flared before he continued.
'Are you just gonna die and disrespect your friend's honorable death like nothing? They died trying to protect you! I know you're feeling this burning raw hate within you, I know you want to kill this bastard and save Sasuke right now. Just trust me like you always do, let me lend you my power! You've got me..., Partner.'
Slowly, The blonde felt himself tremble in sadness and happiness as tears threatened to spill from his dull blue eyes.
'Since the day you accepted my existence, you entirely changed my views on the humans and the world because you trusted me! You gained my trust and respect because you're you. Naruto, I have acknowledged you just like you acknowledged me. Now tell me, do you really want to die and let Orochimaru continue his madness?"
'Of course not!' Naruto wanted to shout, scream, or even cry out the words. But he simply hung his head low to hide his grief-stricken face.
Since the day he learned the Kyuubi's real name, Their bond grew stronger and deeper. They understood each other more than anyone and Naruto knew Kurama understood his pain more than anyone. Suddenly, He started to remember those peaceful days of Konoha, the fateful day when Iruka-Sensei accepted him not only as Shinobi but as precious family, the day when Team 7 was made, the times when he was surrounded by his precious friends, All those battles and hardships he endured throughout his life to become what he is known as Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto. It was true he changed and wasn't the naïve shinobi that once believed the good always triumph over evil. He learned there will always be price and sacrifices that was often almost more than he could bear. Ever since the day he killed, It was the moment when Naruto let go of his childish ways of how the world worked or his belief that if he just tried hard enough he could do anything. Probably, his childish antics started to waver after Sasuke left the village and betrayed the blonde's trust or when Jiraiya died in such gruesome death against Akatsuki's leader. The blonde tried to stay strong and brave but he just couldn't forget the sudden loss and betrayal. Somewhere in there, He'd knew he had to grow up and see just how terrible and frightening world he really lived in. But; Even with those losses and broken promises, he'd tried to push through, but it grew harder and harder. He was just so exhausted... so tired...
Yet, Somewhere in his heart...,
No matter how many times he tries to deny,
He still wanted to live.
'Answer me brat!'
Pair of cerulean eyes snapped open.
'Kurama...'
The fox grinned when the kit called his real name. Not Kyuubi No Yoko or Nine-Tail Fox or anything of that crap he has been living through for many centuries. Only this human, this brat, was allowed to call him that.
'I'm sorry for the long wait partner...'
In both mentally and physically, The fox demon knew Naruto was broken beyond repair and wouldn't be able to control the nine-tail's power to the fullest. It would only bring disaster and pain... Even if Naruto manages to defeat Orochimaru right now, He would just face the harsh reality that his friends had already died along with his precious village ruined into nothingness and then blame himself again... over and over until he finally shatters apart like an fragile glass. At the end, He'll just live through regret, guilt, and sadness. Kurama/Kyuubi was a demon, One of the most powerful demon out of others, Mass of hate and anger, yet this unique blonde-shinobi changed him. He held one of the most pure, beautiful soul the Nine-tailed demon had ever seen through his past Jinchuurikis. At such young age, Naruto was isolated from others but he determinedly tried to make people accept him and he achieved that goal with everyone accepting and respecting him. Though he killed other humans and stole another life from same specie, it was to protect his precious people and his home village. Naruto clearly knew the pain of losing someone to the extent it was unbearable and watched countless unavoidable deaths within this world. Yet, He still managed to keep such pure heart and burning 'Will Of Fire'.
Now, right at this moment, This young man is still determined to live in this blood-shedding world even though he is broken beyond repair. Kurama's respect for him deepened and his trust for the blonde strengthened.
'Gaki... Take off the seal'
Mustering all his strength Naruto fluttered his eyes open to see a familiar sight of darkened tunnel, and knee-deep water before the large gate. No words passed between Kurama and Naruto, only looks of understanding and trust, the demon simply stared as Naruto hung his head and blankly stared at the Orochimaru's seal. The venomous snakes slithered across the water, hissing and slowly snaking around his torso and neck. He stepped up to the bar, not caring if the enraged reptiles tightened its hold around him. A lone, slithering black serpent crawled around his neck and opened its jaw, biting his pale neck. He simply ignored the venomous poison running along his skin and closed his eyes. His hand reached up and grabbed the Snake's seal upon the cage and pulled it away. There was a roar from within the cage as the doors burst open and Kurama stepped out, finally free. Pair of crimson eyes stared and the blues eyes stared back. Naruto didn't even flinch as the two giant paws closed around him. Crimson, and a hint of beautiful golden, charka embraced him. The snakes hissed in agony, every single one of them burned alive as the burning ashes flutter along the water's surface. The blonde listened to his own heart beat as his consciousness starts to darken.
"Ba-thump"
... Good bye...
"Ba-thump"
...
"Ba-thump"
... I'm sorry...
"Ba-thump"
...
"Ba-thump..."
... It seems like-
"Ba-thump..."
...
"Ba-thump..."
-I can't die just yet...
"Ba...- Thump..."
.
.
His heart beat wavered and then-
-...it stopped.
.
.
Pair of demonic crimson eyes opened.
...
Orochimaru crackled and gripped on the katana's handle as Kusanagi's silver blade slowly pierced through Naruto's skin. The Snake Sannin delightfully watched in sick pleasure as the red blood tickled down from the small cut on his scarred chest.
"Goodbye... Uzumaki Naruto, You failed to protect your love ones and your village. Your idiotic beliefs made this weak village to fall and your soul would never be in peace... Once you die I'll trap you into my illusions and make you feel pain of your death for eternity!" Orochimaru shouted in glee as he was about to stab the blonde right through his heart. But, suddenly the legendary sword shattered into millions of pieces as the Snake Sannin widened his eyes in shock, He tried to jump away but his movements were quickly prevented by a red claw gripping tightly around the Sannin's body. Torturous pain coursed through his body like a streaming flames wrapping around him; Orochimaru screamed in pain as pair of eyes that was once blue turned into crimson-red stared into the snake's frightened and shocked eyes. Naruto's appearance drastically changed and the Sannin realized it wasn't the blonde himself but the demon fox taking control.
With some difficulty, The Snake Sannin instantly freed himself from the vicious red chakra and stepped back few meters away from the Nine-Tailed Fox's Jinchuriki.
Hate,
Anger,
and uncontrollable insanity reflected upon 'Naruto's maddening expression.
"ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Kyuubi-Naruto let out a ear-piercing roar as scarlet wind whipped around him and screamed with fierceness as it scorched and cut everything that it came in contact with, while the ground flattened from the mere pressure upon the nine-tail's beastly power. Orochimaru's eyes grew even wider when he saw nine tails of pure red chakra emerged from thin air and danced widely throughout the village. The debris, buildings, and even trees was sent flying before the storm finally died down.
"How...?" Orochimaru was frozen from absolute shock and shivered slightly from the unbearable fear weighing upon his heart.
"W-WHAT! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL! NARUTO LOST HIS REASONS TO LIVE! MY SNAKE SEAL SHOULD HAVE COMPLETELY IMPRISON YOU! HOW?!" Through disbelief and anger, Orochimaru uncharacteristically shouted with wide eyes.
"Looks like your plan didn't succeed as you planned." Kyuubi-Naruto taunted. "It's true you managed to seal me and completely cut-off my chakra connection with Kit after he defeated your reincarnated scums..."
Kyuubi-Naruto grinned. "But I think you underestimated him Orochimaru... Naruto is the son of Uzumaki Kushina, the seal master. And kit surpassed his mom's skills years ago."
"The gaki has been, slowly but efficiently, weakening your Snake Seal during this war. We just needed a right moment to completely unseal it..."
Regaining his calmness and through his ragged breath, Orochimaru started to laugh hysterically and his eyes showed amusement though he was in intense pain. "You're too late demon... Even after he unsealed it, The Snake Seal will still kill him! The Snake's Curse will devour Uzumaki Naruto's life and in the end, both of you will die! You can't kill me! I took over Sasuke's body and I have the fullest control of Mangekyo Sharingan! You'll never defeat me!" The snake spatted and continued to laugh. Spiraling red swirled around Orochimaru's eyes and took its shape into commas of Sharingan. "HAHAHA... YOU'LL NEVER DEFEAT ME!"
Confidently yet desperately, Orochimaru reared his head back and from his mouth he spatted hundreds of venomous snakes that flew towards Kyuubi-Naruto and swords sprouted from each one's mouth intent on piercing the blonde-haired man. Kyuubi-Naruto only stood still, and with millimeter left between the lethal reptiles and nine-tailed fox, a crimson-chakra laced claw pierced through the snakes. Scorching red flames lit up the cloudy sky and the serpents hissed in pain as they all simply reduced into grayish ashes before completely vanishing. This caught Orochimaru by surprise and shock; He never thought the legendary demon fox would posses such skill and control with god-like speed and power,
"Pathetic." Scarlet eyes narrowed toward the old serpent. "How unpleasant for using such miserable excuse of power."
Kyuubi-Naruto growled inhumanly and pointed his index finger toward the Snake Sannin. "Disappear."
The instant Orochimaru had seen the growing ball of red energy at Kyuubi-Naruto's fingertip, the Sannin had sensed the unbearable bloodlust and power within it.
"Shit." The Snake muttered as he quickly bit his finger and flashed through a short chain of hand seals. He knew that if he took a direct hit from whatever the monster was planning, he knew he would not survive. "Kuchiyose no jutsu: Rashomon!"
As soon as Orochimaru slammed his palm into the ground, a seal of intricate writing flowed out around it and with an explosion of smoke and debris, a colossal gate bearing a demonic visage rose from the ground in front of the Sannin. And not a moment too soon. The instant the Rashomon rose to its full height, Kyuubi-Naruto fired his Bijuu Dama. The ensuing explosion was massive. The sphere of beastly red energy slammed into the gates of Rashomon but even the most defensive shield couldn't bear the incredible tension and instantly vaporized like a snowflake in Hell. Luckily for Orochimaru the gate served its purpose enough as the Bijuu Dama had been deflected enough and missed by at least two feet from him.
The Snake Sannin was wide-eyed and fearful when the dust and debris finally cleared and saw how devastating the Kyuubi's power is. Orochimaru had never seen anything so destructive in his entire life. For a Jinchuriki to wield this power, it was unreal and incredible for such creäture to exist.
'I must have it, He'll make a great experiment and weapon if I can take advantage of his incredible powers to destroy other Shinobi Countries. '
However, it would seem that Orochimaru was caught up with his delightful thoughts and didn't notice the growing tension around Kyuubi-Naruto.
A fatal error.
Suddenly, Kyuubi-Naruto swept his clawed hand in an upward slice as crimson hellfire ignited from his palms. The flames roared and scorched throughout the field and trapped the Snake Sannin within its fire tornado. The look of shock on Orochimaru's face was priceless. Until the Sannin cursed and summoned a water dragon to vaporize the unbearable heat and fire. Explosion of mist exploded between them as everything became foggy and unclear.
"I must admit you're strong Kyuubi No Yoko... But enough is enough! DIE!"
Kyuubi-Naruto looked at the sudden appearance of Orochimaru out of the corner of his eye. The Snake Sannin having suddenly appeared behind him, a kunai poised to strike.
"Shut up."
A single word held so much power and emotions behind it and caused untold pain for the Sannin. Suddenly, The blonde appeared in front of the surprised Snake Sannin as crimson inferno exploded around them. Kyuubi-Naruto's hand was pressed against the Orochimaru's bloodied chest, covered in a halo of red chakra. Orochimaru's eyes widened in pain as the Bijuu Dama blasted him square in the chest and sent him flying uncontrollably through the air, crashing through several buildings before smashing into the ground heavily.
"B-bastard..."
The Nine-Tail Jinchuriki looked over to where Orochimaru was sprawled with emotionless expression on the blonde's face. The Snake Sannin was heaving himself up, one of his arms missing, torn off most likely when it was perfectly hit by the Bijuu Dama. In addition to the missing limb, Orochimaru's shirt was in tatters and his chest bloodied from the intense power the Bijuu Dama had inflicted upon him. But he was alive nonetheless.
"So? Tell me, How do you want to die?" Kyuubi-Naruto sent a shivering sinister smirk toward the Snake Sannin.
"You think you can kill me." Orochimaru gasped as he coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. "You are an infant before the power of the Snake."
"Wrong answer." Uncontrollable blood lust and vicious red chakra exploded around the blonde-haired man.
Orochimaru was frozen in the most pure and unrestrained moment of fear he had ever encountered. Nothing came close to this moment, not his loss to Hanzo the Salamander with his former teammates, nor his fight with his Sensei when the old man had sealed his arms and threatened to end his aspirations.
To make matters worse for the Sannin, the world itself seemed to reflect his feelings as the sky darkened and the heavens rained darkness itself.
Gracefully, The Kyuubi-blonde crouched in front of the half-unconscious Orochimaru.
"Traitor Sannin..., This is the end of your meaningless destruction and madness." Kyuubi-Naruto grinned. "Any last words?"
"... You...!" Orochimaru growled angrily until dissolving into maddening chuckles. "I'm Immortal! Your pitiful existence will never defeat me! Never!"
The snake rudely spitted blood at the blonde-haired man's cheek. Instantly; Kyuubi-Naruto's grin fell and emotionless façade took its place on his face as he slowly wiped off the spit. Explosion of red chakra exploded throughout the ground and maddening grin split through the Kyuubi's face, promising destruction and pain.
Kyuubi's red chakra changed its formless shape into a clawed hand and gripped itself around the Snake Sannin as imperishable crimson flames ignited throughout the raining sky.
Suddenly, Orochimaru's laughter turned to piercing scream as blood splattered and sound of bones being crushed gotten louder and louder every second as it echoed throughout the rain. Harshly against the ground, Kyuubi-Naruto released Orochimaru from the grip and his crushed body limply fell toward the earth. The Snake-Sannin painfully clutched on his now smashed eyes with his unbroken left arm and continued to scream in agony and pain. Suddenly, the red chakra wavered and then vanished until the vortex of red chakra exploded and expanded outward uncontrolled, swallowing the last of the great Sanin into burning hell. It was primal agony of intense pain, torn from that individual burning pain of red chakra that hissed and burned the snake's skin mercilessly. It was the most horrible thing you would ever feel, and the pain of endless agony and crimson flame-like chakra continued to wrap itself around Orochimaru's neck, chest, torso, arms, eventually reaching his face; spreading and consuming the rest of his body like wild-fire.
"AHHHHHH!" Orochimaru rasped out and screamed until his vocal-cord was now half-burned and was unable to scream any further but the pain was unbearable he threw himself upon the muddy ground, stopped, dropped, and rolled, desperately trying to stop the intense pain but to no avail. Unlike the other flames of chakra origin, these demon-made flames didn't extinguished but grew brighter and stronger. Rain continued to fall and Kyuubi-Naruto smirked icily as the crimson chakra vanished from Orochimaru's body, only to reveal his legs, his both arms and eyes burned to ashes yet there still was smile on that pale face of Sasuke as if it was saying You-can't-defeat-me-I'm-IMMORTAL
"I know what you're thinking... Ya think you're all Immortal and shit just because you finally have Uchiha's body? Think again." With a snap of his fingers, Swirls of red-chakra gracefully gathered around Kyuubi-Naruto's hands and worked their way up his arms, the chakra suddenly grew stronger, denser and more brighter. He didn't unleash the energy, yet. He held up his right hand casually above his head and his scarlet eyes watched the half-burnt shocked face of Orochimaru amusingly, Kyuubi-Naruto mouth moved into a sinister smile. The chakra grew larger. Crimson energy began to course around his body, lighting up the clouded sky into crimson daylight.
He snapped his fingers again, his hand crooking upward as spiraling red chakra swirled into huge mass of glowing red sphere. They shifted and formed into a shape of large chakra-crimson claw. Its shape was terrifying and frightening with nail-like blade glinted in predatory glow and obviously screamed for blood.
"Orochimaru... I'm not a human, I'm a demon. I show no mercy nor I feel anything when I kill, I rather enjoy watching people in pain and see their life fading away in their eyes." Kurama chuckled deeply and aimed his chakra-claw in front of Orochimaru's burned and broken body. It's tip already making hissing sounds as it contacted with the Sannin's chest. The look on the Sasuke's face wasn't smiling anymore but a soundless scream seemed to escape from his mouth.
"Just because you gain control over Sasuke doesn't mean you're Sasuke himself... And Naruto knows that... That's why he's letting me gain control of his own body and gives me the permission to destroy Sasuke's body. The Last-Uchiha's soul doesn't remain in that body anymore... NOW FUCKING BURN IN DEMON FIRE AND FEEL THE PAIN OF YOUR DEATH FOR ETERNITY!" It was done in a heart beat as Kurama slashed his claw downward and the remaining body of Sasuke instantly turned to ashes but the soul of Orochimaru continued to burn in agony. The hellfire devoured his last breath of scream and his soul as the burning ashes vanished with him.
Finally, Through pain and losses, Orochimaru, who was the last remaining Sannin, was defeated and would never return again.
"..." Kyuubi-Naruto remained silent and closed his eyes as rain splattered against his bloodied face. The comforting soothingness of water slowly washed away the sinful blood stains and gore from his body. Content feelings took place on his scarred heart and wistful smile spread throughout his face.
No more pain...
No more losses...
Orochimaru's future destruction and madness is now forever prevented.
The war finally ended.
"Naruto... You fuck'in owe me ramen after this shit is over." Bitterly, Kyuubi's -Naruto's- face split into tired yet soft smile. "Thanks for everything, Partner."
Slowly, Kurama's conscious left the control as Naruto's appearance changed back to normal and pair of crimson eyes quickly lost their scarlet color and turned back to the original blue.
"...Kurama...?"
Naruto croaked, his voice cracking. "Hey... you there?"
His stomach suddenly felt empty, hollow, and numb.
"Heh..." A chuckle escaped him, but also empty and hollow. "Sleeping already? How cruel..."
The rain finally stopped. The ominous clouds parted within the strong yet gentle breeze as the warm soft rays of the moonlight finally began to pierce down into the ruins of Konoha village, lovingly embracing the scarred quivering body of a young man who had somehow managed to survive this torturous war. He smiled tiredly and stared at the starry sky, the shimmering stars seemed to dance around him and the soft winds cry brushed across his cheeks. His heartbeat significantly started to lose their rhythmic beat and a single thought flew past his mind. 'Now Sasuke can finally rest in peace, forever away from the griefs, pain and sufferings.' His best friend can finally meet his older brother Itachi in peace. Sasuke can finally meet his family at the afterlife. Intense pain began to course throughout his body and the blonde soundlessly screamed as he harshly coughed out blood in agony. That's when he truly realized and had to accept this reality.
'Am I going to die...?'
Naruto already knew he was going to die but this truth only made him completely calm and relaxed. His soul didn't ache in fear nor loneliness anymore but a familiar warmth of 'hope' bloomed brightly throughout his heart, Naruto wishfully hoped that he could finally meet his friends and families at the afterlife. He wanted to see their smiles again, he wanted to apologize for his mistakes and broken promises, he wanted to embrace them with all his heart and finally cry out his sealed emotions. One last time... He wanted to see them one last time before going to hell.
Friends, Family...
Konoha.
The cheerful eye-smile of his sensei, Hatake Kakashi, his Aniki. The gentle yet passionate smiling face of Haruno Sakura, his first crush but as years passed, she became his important sister. The kindness hidden underneath that emotionless façade of Uchiha Sasuke, his brother. The gluttonous grin of Akamichi Chouji. The lazy disinterested stare of Nara Shikamaru and his lazy smirk. The shy yet courageous sparkling eyes of Hyuuga Hinata. The stoic face of Aburame Shino. The boasting cheerful grin of Inuzuka Kiba. The slightly disapproving, but kind and caring, glare of Yamanaka Ino. The stoic and loyal gaze of Hyuuga Neji. The everlasting youthfulness and excited Rock Lee. The smiling Tenten and her proud warrior's soul. The wise yet cheerful eye of the Sandaime Hokage. Depth of endless dream reflected upon the eyes of Jiraiya-sensei. The drunk sleeping form of Tsunade-Baachan, the Godaime Hokage. The motherly yelling picture of Shizune. The bearded and smoking Sarutobi Asuma. The bright red glistening eyes of Yuuhi Kurenai. The childish and admiring gaze of Konohamaru. The countless faces of the citizens of Konoha. The hundreds and thousands of people across the Shinobi countries who had been mercilessly killed in the rampage of the Orochimaru and his Otogakure armies.
Sasuke... Sakura... Kakashi-sensei...
Iruka-sensei...
Hinata... Kiba... Shino...
Lee... Tenten... Neji...
Shikamaru... Chouji... Ino...
Konohamaru...,
Jiji...,
Ero-Sennin...,
Tsunade-Baachan...,
Gaara...,
Everyone... I'm sorry.
Lone tear slid down his cheeks and his chest suddenly ached in suffocating emotions.
Dad... Mom... Thank you.
Thoughts about his loving and caring parents warmed his heart to the deepest core, Naruto softened his eyes before snapping out from his daze and withered painfully at the throbbing headache swarming around his mind like a soundless yet screeching music. Crimson-blood pooled around his broken figure as torturous intensity wrapped around his shattered soul. Pain..., Only pain and agony embraced his body like a blazing flames of hell fire lashing out in hunger. Feeling death nearby, The scream died out in his throat and his ragged breath slowly lessened its pace as every seconds passed. His eyelids suddenly felt heavier, his breathing became shallow and brief, Naruto unconsciously smiled toward the crystal night sky.
"Ja na..."
He softly whispered.
"Arigato Minna."
Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto entirely closed his eyes and the melodious heartbeat against his chest faded away into eternal silence.
He'll never wake up from this peaceful slumber ever again.

Dark, sinister voice quietly whispers in the starless night.
Its raging gaze blackened the moon,
shutting out the light that embraced the corpse.

Goodnight, Hero.
Xxx Blade Of Kamikaze:: Prologue xxX
.
.
There once was pirate named Gold Roger, who was the King of the Pirates.
He had fame, power and wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
And now... The Great Treasure Of One Piece became every pirate's dream to achieve!
.

While in LogueTown...

Heavy tension shadowed the silent crowd, they waited nervously as the legendary man stood before them high above on the platform. His face was slightly shadowed but his huge grin brightened for attention. He was determined, that's for sure, He seemed like a fearless man who knows no fear but believes in his own way, own path. Two blades were aimed toward his chest; the sharp steel hungry for blood and would be painted red just in few seconds.
"My treasures...?" Rumbling deep voice broke the silence, and it was none other than from the Pirate King, Gold Roger, who achieved fame, power, and wealth beyond wildest dreams. He obtain everything a man can wish for.
"My treasure? If you want it, you can have it. Seek it out! I left everything in my life at that place!" Those were his last words as the blade pierced through his chest. His smile didn't waver as his life faded away, The crowd stood in shock before roar of cheers erupted. Explosive shouts were heard and promises were made to find the legendary treasure, One Piece.
And Twenty-years from now on...,
There would be a certain adventurous Straw-hat boy who vowed to achieve his longtime dream along with his loyal comrades.
To become a Pirate King!

Mysterious Dimension...

Amusement.
Megami, the holy goddess, watched over the both world in amusement and sadness.
She was amused by the Gold Roger's admirable death and respected him till the end.
However, She was angered by the mere idiotic mortal known as Orochimaru who foolishly believed that he was a Immortal. That disgusting thing will be forever sealed upon the hell's prison and never to be revived again.
A look of grief washed over Megami's beautiful face as she watched Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto's pure soul ascended toward the heavens.
No, not yet.
He's too precious to die and waste his amazing talents.
Megami never hesitated on anything but this was completely a different story. It took her very long time to decide whether she should let Naruto rest in peace or give him another chance in life. She might've been selfish and cruel on this decision but she couldn't allow Naruto to die like that and meet his friends at the afterlife right now. It was too early for such beautiful and purest soul to rest in peace.
The goddess wanted him to become her right-hand warrior.
To be more concise, She wanted Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto to join her family.
She wanted him to learn the true meaning of life and create new bonds with people again.
Suddenly, a black mist quietly gathered around her, Megami narrowed her golden eyes as the mist changed back to its original form.
Pair of pale arms embraced her from behind.
"Hello, my dear sister..."
"Shinigami." Her voice was deathly and cold. "What do you want?"
"Just visiting you, my dear sis." He purred, His 'Hanya' mask revealed a pair of glowing crimson eyes.
"Refrain yourself from lying to me." She snapped and harshly slapped away his arms. "Who do you think you are?"
"Hm~ I'll never dare myself to lie to you, Megami-sama." The Shinigami smiled underneath his mask. "Although... My main reason for visiting you is quite important. I just wanted to remind you about our deal..."
He tilted his head. "You'll let me train Naruto-kun under my wings right?"
Pair of golden-amber eyes glowed. Megami threateningly raised her aura around their surroundings in warning, the concrete floor flattened from its mere pressure and force. "I'm aware of that... brother." She growled. "But I swear to myself that if you ever, EVER, try to kill Naruto within his training session with us, Gods and Goddesses , I will personally end you. Are we clear?"
The golden-amber aura intensified and manifested into a beastly lioness appearance, roaring and snarling at the amused Death God.
"Oh scary, scary. But aren't you overreacting Megami-sama? There's no way the villain can outsmart the hero and kill him!" Shinigami playfully bowed. "Your wish is my command, Milady. I'll visit you again soon... Ciao."
The Death God waved as he disappeared within the black mists and feathers.
Closing her eyes, Megami took deep breaths to calm her raging nerves.
'Don't kill him Don't kill him Don'tkillhim!' She steadily walked over to her couch and laid against the soft mattress. 'He's a necessary piece to my plan... I'll be damned if I accidentally kill him right now.'
The Goddess snapped her finger, blur of white figures instantly appeared. "Prepare the soul summoning ritual. Do not come into my room until I order you so." The Angels bowed their heads and disappeared.
'Time to summon him.'
A soft smile appeared upon her face at the thought of the former 'Child Of Prophecy'. Closing her eyes, a faint white light began to glow all around her as sphere of light erupted from her hands and were placed in front of her. Opening her eyes, which were shining an intense white-bluish light, she began to summon the soul of 'Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto'.
Flashes of blue and orange erupted in front of her until they formed into a shape of familiar blonde-haired man with whisker-like cheeks.
Patiently, Megami waited for any signs of life from the body.
Suddenly, Slow and steady breathing could be heard from the newly reborn Namiakze-Uzumaki Naruto as his chest ascended up and descended down with every new breath of life.
Megami's golden eyes brightened in happiness and she motherly smiled.
"Welcome back, Naruto."

Preview:
Right at this moment, Naruto felt like a sharp knife stabbed through his heart, a VERY sharp knife. Emotions of despair and sadness filled his throat as it came crashing down on him. He was about to cry any moment but still could't accept the shocking fact he just heard from the Megami. It was just impossible! How could this happen? Was it even possible for such tragedy to happen? No, He didn't believe it, He didn't want to believe it. Regaining his voice and taking deep breaths Naruto slowly stared into a beautiful golden eyes of brunette-haired beauty.
"Are you... serious?" His voice wavering slightly and hoped that it was all a lie, just his imagination he heard from her. Megami raised her brow and smiled amusingly, her eyes twinkled in silent laughter as she tried her best not to laugh but was having hard time not to.
"Yes, I'm serious." She managed reply and felt twinge of guilt but mostly amusement when the blonde widened his eyes and gaped. Looking like a kicked puppy that has been kicked twice, no, three times. Or like a kitty that has been dumped into a water, Megami laughed at the hilarious thoughts.
"WHAT? SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT A WORLD YOU'RE GONNA SEND ME DOESN'T HAVE RAMEN? WHAT!" Naruto screamed, The blonde couldn't believe his ears and was about to faint from too much shock. This woman was insane!
