I, the Destroyer
A/N: Heya guys. It's me, Luna the Katana Kachi, once more, bringing you a story! I'm unsure as to how far I plan to take this one, but hopefully someone, somewhere, will find this story enjoyable, and maybe they'll adapt it to their own needs.
Either way, here it comes.
Chapter 1
Born Anew
The Final Valley, 17 years after Kyuubi Incident
"This is it, Naruto."
"… It's come to this, hasn't it?"
Within the Valley, two men stood. They were across from one other, glaring at each other with nothing but pure malice. On one side of the valley was a man with blond hair, and a face that was somewhat feminine. Some would call him a bishonen, but most called him Naruto, the once Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, the savior of all mankind, the Child of Prophecy. All of those were meaningless to him. After all, across from him stood the man that Naruto hated more than anything in the world.
Sasuke Uchiha.
Oh, he might have hated Madara, but he'd managed to kill him. He might have hated Obito, but he'd managed to kill him also. But Sasuke… Sasuke was like a roach, always finding a way to come back. At first it had been them standing beside each other as brothers, fighting against the common foe, Madara and Obito. Obito might of terrifying as the Juubi Jinchuuriki, and Madara might have been even more horrifying as he took the Juubi from Obito. But neither of them stood a comparison to Sasuke, who after being supercharged by Hagoromo Otsutsuki and becoming the Jinchuuriki of the Juubi blew those two out of the water.
Naruto gave off a sigh, "You truly think that I'm just going to die here, Sasuke? That I'm going to give up and lose after all you did?"
Sasuke simply smirked, before his ungodly levels of chakra spiked, indicating to Naruto that he was preparing to do something. Naruto let out a pout of air, as he reached to his back, retrieving a ninja-to, flipping it to a reverse grip.
"Let's settle this once and for all."
And with those words spoken, the two most powerful shinobi in the era clashed.
Naruto closed the distance between them rapidly, aiming to get close enough that Sasuke couldn't obliterate him without killing himself. Sasuke, knowing of Naruto's intention, leapt backwards, dodging out of Naruto's Ninja-to's reach narrowly, before he continued backwards, his chakra spiking even further.
"Katon: Urutorafaia shi no Jutsu!" Sasuke cried out, before from his mouth erupted a torrent of flames, these flames being the color of the sun, and just as hot. Naruto, having heard the words of the jutsu, rolled to his left, managing to dodge the flames with some space to spare. Naruto then once more, closes the distance between the pair, this time managing to get to Sasuke before he can backpeddle.
Naruto slashed at Sasuke's chest, his ninja-to gleaming slightly as he did so. Sasuke caught Naruto's wrist with the speed of light. Such was the power of the Juubi Jinchuuriki when the Jinchuuriki is endowed with the power of an Otsutsuki.
A loud cracking noise is heard as Sasuke simply snaps Naruto's wrist like it was nothing. Naruto, instead of crying out, simply dropped the Ninja-to, and managed to pry his wrist from Sasuke's grasp. He leapt backwards, his teeth gritted in agony.
"You know… I think I'll keep this as a memento… Of our… Friendship?" Sasuke finished his sentence with a chuckle as he bent down, moving his hand to grab the Ninja-to.
As Sasuke grips the Ninja-to and brings it up, Naruto simply grins widely.
"Sasuke… You remember what Kakashi said to us when we were kids?"
"Stalling your death, Naruto?"
"Look underneath the underneath." Naruto said as his non-injured hand raised itself into a ram seal.
"Wha-" "KAI!" Naruto shouted out, before the ninja-to lit up in an array of seals. The seals, starting at the tip of the blade, rapidly shot down the blade, to the guard, to the grip, then onto Sasuke's arm.
"What is this?! Naruto!" Sasuke shouted out, as he felt his very life energy begin to be siphoned away from him. But the real shocker was that the entirety of his chakra, along with the Juubi was being sucked away also. Not just that, but it was all going to Naruto!
Naruto looked on with a small, devilish smirk as he approached the collapsed Sasuke. He crouched down next to Sasuke as he patted him on the head.
"Sasuke, Sasuke… It's a shame that you're not going to be around, but I think I'll let you in on a little plan I have. You see, I've grown tired of this war. I plan to move on to a world of peace. One of happiness, one of less agony. Well, for me. Not for you, or anyone else from the Elemental Nations. You see, I've been looking over Minato's notes, and I've found that there are multiple dimensions, in-fact, and an infinite number of them at that. And I plan to become the man that Kurama entrusted me to be…" He paused for effect, a grin upon his face as Sasuke glared up at him with what little power he had left in his body. "I'm going to become the hero I couldn't be here. So, rest easy Sasuke. I've stopped you, and I'll be sure to remember you as the stepping stone to my greatness. For now… Ja ne."
And with that, Sasuke Uchiha passed from the Elemental Nations, the Juubi moving onto its next container, Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto muttered a slight prayer for Sasuke. Despite his hatred for the man, he chose to not stoop to his level. He chose to allow Sasuke the respects that he wouldn't of afforded Naruto.
Once the prayer was done, Naruto muttered a small 'Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu', turning the Uchiha's body to ash, allowing him passage to the next life.
Naruto turned his gaze towards the sky, a slight curving of his lips indicating his pleasure at what he'd accomplished.
"Hah… I've finally done it. After all this suffering… I've succeeded… Thank you… Kurama, Chomei, everyone…"
Naruto strutted over to a nearby puddle, and as he did so, he felt the unmeasurable chakra of the Juubi begin to fill his system and adjust. As it did so, Naruto felt another presence enter his mind. He knew what it was, but he chose to feign ignorance for the time being, opting to look into the puddle at his reflection.
What he saw staring back at him was almost a foreign image. His eyes were now amethyst, his hair highlighted with red, and his already feminine features became even more so. A slight smile came over his face at the changes. He looked… handsome, despite his bishonen-ness. He could deal with being girly.
Naruto tilted his head as the remaining members of the Shinobi Alliance neared the valley. He glared at them, knowing that their intentions were far from pleasant. After all, he'd been the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi for many years, and people feared that which was powerful. And before he'd left to face Sasuke, he'd made it known to one person in hopes of this coming to pass.
Naruto – He held no love for the elemental nations. He knew there was no bringing peace to the wartorn countries. Instead, he'd rather destroy this land and then return it to nature. He, while fighting against Obito and Madara, began to understand that the peace that Jiraya had wanted would never work, along with the peace of Hagoromo. But he refused to allow humanity to suffer the effects of an illusion. He may despise the race in this dimension, but he refused to allow them be put to such a fate. Instead, he'd simply wipe the human race from the planet, then rebuild it from the ground up, allowing nature to take its course before he left for a new land.
As Naruto glared at the shinobi that approached him, he noticed that the remnants of the Shinobi Army were lagging behind those that approached him.
And the two that approached him were Tsunade and Kakashi, two people that he'd cherished.
"Naruto Uzumaki, you are to lay down your arms and surrender peacefully." Kakashi ordered Naruto, just as A and Onoki closed in on Naruto from behind.
Naruto had known they were coming, but he chose to let them.
"Already killing me? Shame, I'd hoped that I'd be able to rest for five minutes before you Konoha fucks would come knocking." Naruto drawled out.
"Silence. You have three seconds to comply!" Kakashi continued.
"Kakashi, Tsunade, what are you doing!?" Onoki questioned of the duo in front of Naruto. Naruto simply perked an eyebrow at the question of Onoki. Were they not in on this?
"We're settling this once and for all." Tsunade said simply, Kakashi nodding his head as this was said.
"You're fools… He's saved us all, and you're simply going to kill him?" A demanded of Tsunade, his voice barely containing his rage.
"Simply going to kill me?" Naruto said, before he gave off a barking laugh.
"No.. It's going to me who kills them. A, Onoki, if you don't want your people to die, get them to surrender by the time I'm done with these two. Which will be within five seconds." And with those words stated, Naruto began to strut towards the pair of Konoha shinobi.
"Five seconds? Please, you've just come into tho-"
A squelching sound was heard as Naruto buried his hand in Tsunade's throat, ripping out her jugular brutally. Her blood sprayed upon his face, a rather cruel smirk making its way onto his face.
"Kami-sama, do you ever shut up?"
"Tsunad-" Kakashi began before Naruto once again blurred from existence, reappearing behind Kakashi with his hands placed upon his head. And then –
CRACK!
Naruto snapped Kakashi's neck, ending his life.
Naruto turned to the Shinobi Alliance, to find that those that were members of the Iwa-Kumo-Kiri-Suna portion of the alliance had laid down their arms and raised their hands in surrender.
The remaining portion of the forces, AKA the Konoha portion lay dead, as per the orders of Onoki and A.
Naruto walked towards the remaining Kage in the world, a small nod of appreciation going towards them.
"You know, I had originally intended to simply end this world… But now, it may stay. I will not, however."
Onoki and A looked confused at his last words, but understood why he would wish for his wishing to end the world. He'd described in his meetings with the leaders of the alliance that peace wouldn't work, no matter how much they tried. Which is why he'd wished for them to unite under one banner, not stay separate. As they continuously refused such a thing, Naruto changed. He grew colder, as if he was preparing himself for something. And that something had come to pass.
Naruto nodded to the duo once more.
"I'll see you two in the next life." He simply said as he turned to walk away from them.
"Naruto, wait!" called Onoki, but it was too late.
Naruto had opened a warp in time and space, and simply walked through it.
Naruto was gone from the Elemental Nations.
A/N: So, how was it? I'm super rusty, and this was came up with on the spot. I've never really written a combat scene that doesn't involve Godmode, because that's how I roll.
