Part II of II: The Genesis of an Eternal War
(Shinju Tree War Grounds)
"What the fuck?" Sasuke asked in bewilderment as a power greater than his own emanated from Naruto, "What the fuck is this? Where is this coming from?!" he asked to nobody in particular, even though Black Zetsu in his new body was right by his side after helping the Uchiha escape from Naruto mere seconds ago with a White Zetsu substitution.
'How is this even possible? Is this the power of the Child of the Prophecy?' Lightning wondered as the Uzumaki Jinchuuriki's chakra washed over the world, 'This could be good... Or bad all at once... I can't even stop this if I wanted to, because for some reason it's draining me of my own powers!'
'Naruto's chakra! It's reaching everywhere and everyone! Even dimensions that I couldn't reach or even knew about before now! Such an event shouldn't even be possible.' Kaguya thought until she saw Naruto's eyes change, "The Rinne Sharingan, in both eyes, the same yet different from the Uchiha's own! It must be due to the gift of my son, but this power emanating from him feels much more advanced then how Hagaromo gained his powers upon sealing the Juubi into himself. Is it because he has always been in contact with Bijuu chakra?"
Naruto's eyes were the Rinne Sharingan, but the pupils were that of Kurama's slits crossed with the eyes of Sage Mode. Naruto growled, fully aware of the power flowing out of him and struggled to keep it in check as an Uzumaki-style Sealing Array formed around him. But while it formed, he idly noted that he didn't consciously call on it, nor was it something he learned over his period of training with Jiraiya. Was his mother still helping him from beyond when he took on Kurama to control her power?
His Shadow Clones dispelled while on the Shinju tree, thankfully the power Naruto was emitting weakened the Shinju to the point of releasing its captives, who slumped out before falling and crashing to the ground. Slowly but surely the people were being hit by the waves of Naruto's chakra as it continued to flow, with no end in sight and it was beginning to repeatedly send out waves in a pattern. Naruto started paying attention to the pattern coming from the waves, noting it seemed to be shooting off waves that went short, long, short, short long short, long short, short long, short long short short, before starting all over again.
'Dammit! With my current power level, I won't be able to make a dent on the dobe! If I get close, he'll only obliterate me! If that's the case, then I'll have to acquire a body that can possibly withstand it to get close enough to kill him!' Sasuke thought as he eyed the body of his ancestor Uchiha Madara, and made a mad dash for it.
Black Zetsu knew what Sasuke was planning with Madara's body and knew that Sasuke was needed for his plans. The Remnant figured it was back to running more interference, because if Naruto even so much as caught sight of Sasuke right now, everything would be finished. Lightning is back in play and Kaguya now useless to him thanks to his control over her was broken as shown by her helping the Ashura incarnation, never mind what sort of power the incarnation just tapped into that was easily pushing levels that exceeded both Lightning and Kaguya combined only proved what a bad spot he was in. Zetsu had to get the younger Uchiha as far away from here as soon as possible. Having some extra help by taking Madara's body would definitely be preferable though.
"It would seem that the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi War has become the Genesis of a new era with Naruto at the helm. It's amazing that this much power is radiating from him without tearing him apart...And that's not all..." Hagoromo noted and looked at the Hokage who were connected by Naruto's chakra and looked to be fading away.
"This is..." Hashirama said as he looked at his fading hand, "This feels like the Assimilation Jutsu Madara tried to use on me during our battle at the Valley of the End to get at my blood. It does feel different however, it is as if my body feels like this is a natural process."
"Given how his chakra is connecting us to him, it would appear that we are about to be absorbed into the young Uzumaki there. Such may be a result of being a Jinchuuriki before becoming a Sage, a first that I can recall going back to your own time, Great Sage. I don't think it was his intention since he's struggling to control your power, but this might be fate's will. Naruto was so in tune with the very essence of chakra due to his usage of Shadow Clones, that by the time he became a Sage and gained the perfect chakra control one needs to become a Sage, passively absorbing chakra must be like an unknown second nature. Although given this massive increase to his natural power, his lack of control in this event is not surprising." Tobirama surmised.
"If that is the case, then I don't mind. Our time has past, and I don't mind my essence being transferred to Naruto since he's more than earned it. Besides, I have a feeling that he'll need it for the future ahead. I just wish Naruto could have fixed my mistake with the Uchiha clan before my very eyes, however knowing my soul will live on in him through the chakra that permeates our very being, I can trust that I will see it happen even if I don't have conscious awareness of the world." Hiruzen remarked, with the first two Hokage nodding in agreement as Minato looked at this hand, clenched it, and smiled at Naruto.
"We leave the rest to you, my son. Please take care of everything."
Hagoromo watched on as the four dead Hokage disappeared with a flash and cloud of dust as their Edo Tensei forms became chakra orbs that swam along the chakra stream and into Naruto, who gasped and went down to one knee, his head booming with knowledge he should by all rights never have known about, from things such as the Clan Wars era, to intimate jutsu knowledge, and other intimate knowledge that has no bearing on what was going on right now. Hagaromo knew that Naruto was the perfect successor to Ninshou sect, as this very fact that he can touch the essence of others through Chakra was exactly what he preached in how to connect with others.
A massive flash happened in the direction of the trapped Bijuu and the remains of the Shinju itself, who weren't trapped anymore as the earth imprisoning them crumbled into nothing, leaving them as chakra orbs. Naruto's eyes widened as Yin Kurama's chakra orb rode on the stream connecting to Yang Kurama that finally made Kurama whole again. Then, the Bijuu chakra merged to form the massive demonic chakra beast that is the Juubi before it transformed into a new Shinju, much to the blonde's chargin.
The new Shinju roared before it decreased in size and took on a humanoid appearance that made Naruto gap at the sight. There in place of what was the Juubi was a beautiful, fair-skinned buxom young woman with beauty beyond compare. She stood at 5'8" tall, has a pretty heart-shaped face, long silver hair with black streaks tied into ten tails that reached down her back with blunt bangs with the right side long enough to cover her right eye and a single hair strand sticking out from the top, a curvy voluptuous hourglass figure with large breasts that easily rivaled Tsunade's, a medium-sized perky yet firm butt, and long toned legs; with her outfit consisting of a red and white shrine priestess outfit with a modest white robe top and detached sleeves with a yellow string bow, a red short skirt, and black stockings. When she opened her eyes, they revealed bluish-green eyes with three concentric rings, complete with nine tomoe with three on each ring: the Eternal Shin Rinne Sharingan.
A flash suddenly happened next, and then another flash, and then another, followed by yet another; with dozens and dozens of flashes going off that felt like it lasted for hours when it was really seconds, until it ended. Naruto gaped again as new individuals, mostly female, were standing among the shinobi who were regaining consciousness from their captivity by the now wilted first Shinju tree. He noted that their powers were all uniquely different from chakra in their base essence, but deep down they all felt interconnected as if it all came from the same origin.
'Great~... I guess I really do deserve to be called a chick magnet...' Naruto groaned in his thoughts while bummed out at the possibly of being called said 'chick magnet'. One wonders why guys like Kiba tried to kick his ass yet always failed. That boy had no self control to begin with due to his raging hormones, but seeing almost every girl their own age flock to a single person was hard for any hormonal teenager. Somehow, Naruto knew this was related to his father, he just knew it.
"Unbelievable! He was able to pull people from different dimensions, as well as resurrect key figures of this world. Some of them look worse for wear, which means that they must have been pulled from terrible events in their own worlds. I wonder if Naruto's own actions here caused a domino effect that has altered events in those other dimensions?" Lightning noted as the newcomers and revived individuals looked over while rightfully being downright confused on how they escaped their fates and they got to where they are right now.
"Well, that's a thing..." Naruto mused as Kaguya strode over to support him and keep him from falling. "Why can't my life ever be normal?"
"A thing indeed. Somehow you managed to invoke the spirit of your long dead descendant on my former husband's side and with his help along with power you siphoned from both myself, Lightning and my son, altering the Time-Space of this world that brought forth people from many alternate dimensions and resurrected countless souls. Your feelings achieved an impossible miracle. A blessing and a curse. No wonder Lightning and the other Gods and Goddesses above are so taken with you." Kaguya commented as she kept Naruto steady.
"Wasn't my intention to cause all this. Oh well, when life give you lemons, right?" Naruto said, with Kaguya looking at him weirdly for that quote, not understanding it, "But forget about me. Are you okay? I never would have thought that the teme still had the Rinne Sharingan. I wouldn't have let him get close to you had I known. But that also brings up the question on how he still had it when you stole away his gift that the Old Man Sage gave him?"
He let that last question hang, knowing he wouldn't get an answer, and caressed her cheek that Sasuke struck with his hand glowing green, the sign of him using a Healing Jutsu, causing her to blush at the feel of his power and the unfamiliar feeling of someone else touching her, the pain disappearing as she saw her former lover in the place of Naruto, causing her to blink and see Naruto again.
"It's okay that you didn't know gaki. I was caught off guard…" Kaguya assured him, brushing his hand away as she growled, "But I will be fine when I gut my grandson's descendent and spread his entrails for all to see!"
"Speaking of the teme, where did he go?" Naruto questioned as he used his new evolved eyes, his Negative Emotion Sensing, and Life Energy Sensing from Sage Mode to search for Sasuke's dark aura and chakra signature, "He's got more lives than a cat, no offense to Matatabi of course-"
"Naruto-kun!" three female voices suddenly yelled.
The familiar voices snapped Naruto out of his search for the remaining Uchiha and was tackled to the ground by the three true loves of his life and the first people to ever truly know him.
Yamanaka Ino, Hyuuga Hinata, and his cousin Uzumaki Karin.
"Ino-chan! Hinata-chan! Karin-chan! You're okay...and I'm beginning not to be!" Naruto started to groan as his girls started to squeeze the life out of him, "Choking! Not breathing! Need to breathe here girls!"
"As I thought, the real deal is better than a dream!" Ino squealed as she pressed Naruto's head against her ample chest.
"True. The Naruto-kun in my dream was so plain!" Hinata agreed as she hugged Naruto's torso and rubbed her face on it.
"The Naruto-kun I know isn't so submissive as the one in the dream!" Karin said while on the other side of Naruto's torso with her legs resting on his own.
"Sounds like my dream counterparts suck in more ways than one." Naruto groaned as Kaguya looked on in amusement and Karin looked at Naruto as he said that while giving a sly grin, "I don't even want to know what they did..."
'Well at least that explains Naruto's soft spot for women, not that that's a bad thing...' Lightning mused as she walked over to them and kept her eye on the humanized Juubi, who looked around her surroundings with curiosity with her animal-like ears and ahoge on her head twitching cutely.
"So what happen while we were out? I'm sensing an awful lot of unrecognizable chakra signatures among the alliance." Karin remarked while squashing the feeling of her senses going haywire due to the new arrivals and their different than normal chakra power signatures.
"You got me, but the most important thing you all should know is that Sasuke showed his true colors. He only joined the Shinobi Alliance so that after we defeat the Akatsuki, he would start a revolution that involves taking over the world. To see through it, he's aiming to kill the five current Kage, along with yours truly. I almost took him out, but he revitalized himself with your blood, Karin-chan. I was on the ropes until Ootsutsuki Kaguya and Lightning Farron here arrived and extracted the Yin Sage Chakra from Sasuke and transferred it to me. Despite that, Sasuke managed to take control of Kaguya, but me and Lightning managed to free her from his control." Naruto explained, with Ino and Hinata looking shocked while Karin was seething that Sasuke stole her blood, and realized he did it after he kabobed her with his Chidori Spear while trying to kill Danzo when he held her hostage while her guard down.
"Where's that bastard Uchiha now?" Ino spat, with Hinata activated her Byakugan in response that surprised Kaguya upon seeing someone else with her unique eye ability, and Karin had Chakra Chains freely moving about as if they had minds of their own, almost trying to stab at anything or anyone that even so much as moved in an antagonistic manner toward her person or her loved ones.
"Well what are the odds, huh sister? Your two children had descendants 2000 years later both from the different clans that ended up together. It is like your own childhood all over again, huh?" Lightning laughed while nudging Kaguya, who had a pouty face and muttered something about incest happening no matter how many generations passed without knowledge.
"I found him! He's near Uchiha Madara's body- Wait… that handseal sequence!" Hinata's eyes widened in horror, "That looks like the Assimilation Jutsu! Orochimaru must've taught it to him or he stole it! He's going to try to absorb and merge his body with Madara's!"
Naruto, Kaguya, and Lightning whipped around towards Sasuke's position, the path thankfully void of the Alliance and dimensional newcomers.
"Shit~!" Naruto yelled as he and Kaguya both formed and readied their Truth-Seeking Balls, knowing it was the fastest attack possible and was able to adapt according to the thought process of the user while in flight on the off chance something should happen. Zetsu was nowhere to be seen and after he helped Sasuke get away moments ago, the chance was likely that he would be getting in the way.
"Freeze my enemies' time for all eternity! Chill!" Lightning yelled, unleashing her most powerful ice spell in Sasuke and Madara's general vicinity, "Take them out, now!"
Naruto and Kaguya directed the Truth-Seeking Balls where Lightning's ice spell hit and used Nature Manipulation to turned them into spikes that flowed like spider webs similar to Sasori's poisoned magnetic sand when he fought Ino, Yakumo, Tenten, and Chiyo; to turn the Uchiha brat and the corpse into pincushions.
Sasuke felt the attention of Naruto as he was almost at Madara's body. The Ice attack from that other woman was close to his general location and that of Madara's body, but thankfully it missed them both. He was still running when suddenly time seemed to slow down all around him. No that wasn't what was happening, time for him seemed to still be moving at the same speed, but everyone around him seemed to be slowing down. It wasn't like any of his other Sharingan abilities, nor was his Rinne Sharingan and normal Sharingan even active at the moment. He let it go as he continued toward the body with every ounce of his energy, knowing that once he got that body he would greatly improve his chances against the dobe and all his allies that were now free.
Naruto and Kaguya's Truth Seeking Balls were still going towards Sasuke when suddenly a mass of White Zetsu appeared in the way of many of the now net-like balls. The attacks easily decimated the Zetsu, however the remaining Truth Seeking Balls were nowhere near enough to ensure a guaranteed chance of killing Sasuke. Though as they thought that, suddenly everything changed.
Sasuke was still rushing toward the body when he felt the distinct feeling he had come to know as Zetsu. It was strange, Zetsu himself didn't emit any unique chakra signature that would make him noticeable by others, nor did he have any other traits that would have allowed him to be sensed. So how did Sasuke come to know of his presence? It didn't matter though as Zetsu did his job.
Sasuke felt as the dobe's and Kaguya's attack hit Zetsu and was still coming at him when suddenly everything around him stopped. He was seeing clearer than he ever had before and everything around him was at a standstill. He himself even stopped, something that would normally go against better judgement in the case of the dobe attacking him. He looked around at the various people by the Shinju and even turned to look at the dobe himself. Nothing was moving, even the dobe's and goddess's attack stopped cold. He smirked and then walked toward Madara's body, before started the jutsu he actually stole from Orochimaru. This Assimilation jutsu really was a convenient thing to have. He finished the handsigns and absorbed Madara's body when he too felt a rush of power.
"What the hell was that?!" Naruto called out, voicing the other goddesses' thought as suddenly time seemed to start up again as Sasuke's own power rolled off in waves.
The dobe and goddess's attacks were coming towards him and he looked at someone by the first Shinju remains who was close to him and grinned evilly.
"Chojuro..." Sasuke called, his eyes shining an eerie red, very different from that of his Rinne Sharingan or his normal Sharingan. The weakened blue haired boy from the Mist village looked at him before he suddenly, against his own will, shunshined directly in front of Sasuke.
Naruto and Kaguya's attack was aiming true for Sasuke, when suddenly they both felt massive negative emotions off Sasuke the likes of which he had never felt before, and the presence of a new party in front of Sasuke, being controlled by a genjutsu the likes of which Naruto knew was not something done by any kind of Sharingan. However it did feel very similar to what he used to control Kaguya a short time ago, albeit much more advanced in power.
"No, no, stop!" Naruto yelled while Kaguya swore, both giving the mental command to stop their own Truth Seeking Balls the very moment Naruto felt Chojuro enter the path, but they were too late. His and Kaguya's attack had connected and gutted and skewered the vital organs of a boy who had done no wrong.
"Chojuro!" a weakened Mei screamed in horror as the life left the young swordsman's eyes.
"DAMMIT, NO!" Naruto yelled yet again in rage as the dust settled around Sasuke, blood on the ground around him and on his face.
'How did he do that?!' Kaguya wondered with her teeth gritted in anger, and it was then she and Naruto noticed the difference in Sasuke's eyes: a red, glowing, bird-shaped symbol took the place of what was Sasuke's Sharingan eyes, "What is that?! I never seen eyes like those before!"
The power emanating from them was very much like that of the Sharingan, a hateful cursed power, yet seemed infinitely stronger than that of the Sharingan. Naruto knew that this was something that should never be allowed to exist, but Sasuke had already taken to calling more names.
"Killer Bee, Suigetsu, Jugo, Orochimaru!" Sasuke looked at each one as he said their names and each one suddenly started moving against their will toward Sasuke. A red-headed girl who was standing next to Bee started trying to pull him back and Sasuke was unsure how he did it, but read her mind, and learned her name was Karui.
"Karui!" he called out, with Bee's student following suit and looked up at Sasuke before also moving against her will towards the last of the Uchiha.
"Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto yelled out in shock, and turned towards Sasuke enraged, "You bastard! You were there when I was freed of my pain! Why would you do something like this? Uchiha!"
Sasuke just smirked as he simply said, "Kabuto!" with Kabuto now sharing the same fate as the others, as Black Zetsu looked on at Sasuke and was especially impressed at the power Sasuke managed to awaken.
"The Power of a King. This is perfect, the incarnation of Indra will be the perfect piece in my plans. He seems to be using many different abilities through this new power, I need to ensure he has the strongest of followers enslaved to this power. But it seems as though there will be a different set cards laid out considering what he has already shown, nevermind what he still could have."
All the people Sasuke called now stood in front of him with their backs to Naruto, when suddenly Sasuke stated, "By my right as the new leader of the all powerful clan of Uchiha, be my slaves, my servants, for all eternity!"
"Yes my lord!" they all shouted at once.
"This is bad! If he calls anymore names he knows..." Lightning stated before drawing Kaguya's attention, "Kaguya!"
"I know, sister!" Kaguya yelled back, looking up at the moon with her third eye shining.
"Kaguya, what are you doing?!" Naruto yelled in horror as the projection of the Rinne Sharingan appeared on the moon, with the knowledge of the effects of the Mugen Tsukuyomi springing forth from the back of his mind.
"Protecting everyone else! The Mugen Tsukuyomi can do more than enslave others, which I'm not doing by the way, thank you very much! This protection would be even more effective with an Uzumaki-style seal by the way! Usagi no Megami no Shukufuku (Blessing of the Rabbit Goddess)!" Kaguya called out, her arms spread out as her Rinne Sharingan shined on everyone not affected by Sasuke's strange genjutsu.
Naruto was hesitant at first, but at Lightning's look of reassurance, Naruto again created an Uzumaki Sealing Array without conscious thought as to how he was performing it, that spread along the ground under the others all across the entire battlefield including those already afflicted by Sasuke's genjutsu, with the sealing array glowing with the color of of Kaguya's dojutsu before shattering.
"That will do it!" Kaguya stated as Sasuke called out Ino's, Hinata's, and Karin's names. They flinched, but true to Kaguya's word, they weren't affected, "Sadly, while it will protect those not afflicted, it cannot protect or reverse the effects of those already under Sasuke's control."
"Dammit!" Black Zetsu muttered as Sasuke became frustrated after calling out more names he knew, but to no avail, "Oh well, no matter. There are more followers to be found outside the battlefield here- What?!"
"I have a clear shot at him! Payback time! Mind Destruction Jutsu!" Ino yelled out as she sent her chakra, that was previously augmented by Kurama, into Sasuke, who didn't expect such an attack.
"Gah! You fucking whore!" he snarled as his body froze up. "I'll be sure to rip your body to shreds first, after I'm through pleasing myself that is!"
"He's incapacitated, but I can't hold it forever! Now's your chance to finish him for good, Naruto-kun!" Ino said in a positive light, though somewhat disgusted by Sasuke's words and made a gagging noise.
"You're the best, Ino-chan!" Naruto praised his fellow blonde and charged at Sasuke with the Ryujin equipped with the Wind Orb that he unsealed from his right wrist while in motion to take the Uchiha's head clean off.
"Killer Bee! Suigetsu! Jugo! Orochimaru! Karui! Kabuto! Protect your master!" Sasuke shouted in panic. While Sasuke got his new slaves busy on that, he tried to remember just how it was that he read Karui's mind. If he could somehow use that to deflect Ino's attack right back at her, it may open up a good opening that he could use against his greatest enemy.
"Yes, my lord!" they said in unison as they moved to intercept Naruto.
Play "Soul Evangelist" from Tales of Graces F
Naruto growled, not wanting to fight them, but he has no choice. He jumped over Orochimaru, Kabuto, and the sea of snakes they unleashed at him, simultaneously double kicking them in the face to stun them while he cleared a path. It did the trick though, as he was able to cleanly avoid a large engagement with two of Sasuke new heavyweight troublemakers. Really, it was bad enough Naruto would have to deal with Killer Bee, but Orochimaru and Kabuto as well... Why did he suddenly feel so much older than he should be?
Suigetsu slashed out at him with Samehada that Bee tossed to him, but Naruto deflected his attack with the Kyuuzou no Fujin that he swapped out with his Ryuujin immediately after he saw who was coming at him next, and ducked under Jugo's Destroying Axe Piston Fist: Style One that was aimed for his head. Knocking Suigetsu away with with the help of a jolt of Lightning Chakra from his Kyuuzou no Fujin, he engaged Killer Bee, who after tossing Samehada over to his new ally pulled out all eight of his old swords to skewer Naruto. Naruto grit his teeth as he weaved in and out of his strikes. How the fuck does anyone fight this and get out without a scratch? Sage Mode and Negative Emotion Sensing were working overtime.
Karui attempted to flank Naruto while Bee was engaged with him, but he was easily able to detect her attack thanks to his Empathic ability and had a Chakra Arm swiftly backhand her across the face to back her off. "Five across the eyes bitch! Really, I have no problem with you, but don't think you can ever get away with trying to attack me like last time. I'm still pissed at that shot you got on me back in Konoha! If you hadn't done so, I would've told you everything I knew about the duck-butt!" Naruto yelled at Karui while moving his Kyuuzou no Fujin to his left hand and resummoned his Ryujin in his right to defend against another buzzsaw-like attack from Killer Bee. Suigetsu and Jugo also reengaged Naruto, but were all four of Naruto's current attackers were suddenly wrapped in Karin's Chakra Chains.
"I got them! Go, Naruto-kun!" Karin yelled as she used her Chains to toss Suigetsu, Jugo, and Karui into Bee while he was struggling to regain control of his chakra thanks to the negating effect Uzumaki Chakra Chains had on Jinchuuriki (well, former Jinchuuriki now), and lashed out with yet more chains at Orochimaru and Kabuto before Lightning engaged the two Snake summoners.
Naruto gave a quick nod to both for their help and charged at the still immobile Sasuke who was struggling against a now sweating Ino's jutsu, with Black Zetsu as his last line of defense. Zetsu rushed forward and attempted a Wood Style Jutsu while also bringing out more White Zetsu to help slow Naruto down and maybe even steal his chakra, but was to be denied by Naruto's quick thinking.
"Shinra Tensei!" Naruto unleashed the Rinnegan's signature jutsu out of nowhere that blasted the White Zetsu horde away from him. Zetsu was dazed momentarily, but before he could even attempt to regain his composure, Naruto had used his Chakra Arms to summon a quick Mini-Rasenshuriken that easily prevented one of the wars' masterminds from getting back in the fight quickly.
"Naruto-kun, he's too strong! I can't… hold it… anymore!" Ino cried and gasped as Sasuke suddenly invaded Ino's own mind with his newly acquired Seal of Absolute Sound, mainly with which he gained some particular memories of Ino's period of time during the Academy, which just so happened to pertain to when she learned of Naruto's burden. However, that was as far as he got when he was then shocked out of Ino's mind when the Uzumaki Seal enhancing the power of Kaguya's Blessing of the Rabbit Goddess suddenly increased in strength almost tenfold, dazing him just as Naruto was a few feet away from him.
Naruto slashed at the Uchiha, "Time to die, teme!"
Sasuke still stunned from Kaguya's psychic blast, stabbed at the Uzumaki screaming, "I don't think so, dobe!"
The scene was blood red as Naruto slashed Sasuke's throat out with a Wind Slash and Sasuke stabbing Naruto directly in the heart with a Lightning Stab, causing blood to spill from the both of them. As they both coughed up blood and glared at each other, Sasuke attempted to break away from Naruto with a Shinra Tensei, his Rinne Sharingan powers still present despite the transformation of his own eyes. Naruto managed to counter with a Shinra Tensei of his own, beginning a vicious power struggle as they bled out. Eventually the air-pocket compressed by the combined gravity jutsu ruptured and exploded, flinging both ninja against opposite ends.
"How dare you rise against Sasuke-kun, you deadbeat!"
"Ah crap…!" Naruto groaned as his senses alerted him to Sakura coming from out of nowhere above him, cocking back her fist knocked his head off, "Where'd the banshee come from?!"
"Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Guard!"
Fortunately she didn't get close to him as Hinata met the traitor in midair and connected with her alternative to the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Rotation, cutting the banshee across her face with her arc-shaped chakra blades and knocking Sakura away. The Hokage's prized pupil now turned traitor landed to the ground in front of Karin who was running towards Naruto.
"You fucking bitch!" Karin shrieked as she unleashed her Chakra Chains on Sakura, intent on tearing her flesh from her bones in retaliation for Sakura falling for Sasuke's offer at the time and nearly killing her when she was down...
Karin hadn't intended on that specific target, but the howls over the battlefield were quite pleasant on her ears.
"I'm bleeding! I'm bleeding out my ass! Oh god, my virginity!" the banshee screamed before she passed out from the pain of Karin's Chakra Chain that pierced her in the way she always wished Sasuke would have.
"Naruto-kun! Hold on!" Hinata cried as she administered a Healing Jutsu on Naruto's wound, "You'll be okay! Please be okay! Naruto-kun-! Eh?"
Hinata blinked as the wound healed itself at an accelerated rate, far faster than his previous healing factor even enhanced through Kurama's chakra could have ever worked.
"Woah!" Naruto said, stunned as he touched what used to be his wound only to feel skin.
"His wound regenerated?" Ino asked as Kaguya and Lightning came up to them, "That's amazing!"
"He's not the only one!" Karin called over to them as she threw Sakura away like a rag doll with her chains, "That bitch Uchiha regenerated too! His throat's all healed!" Karin then looked to the girl she just tossed, "Even Sakura is starting to regenerate from her wounds! Dammit won't she ever die…?!"
"You gotta be kidding me! How are they pulling that off?!" Naruto fumed, getting up at the same time as Sasuke, "Uzumaki Kenjutsu Wind Style: Deadly Tempest Vortex!"
He unleashed the large razor wind attack at Sasuke, who sneered and countered with, "Die! Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
"Oh crap! Get back! Water Style: Stormy Blockade!" Naruto yelled, his attack getting sucked into the fire jutsu as the girls ran for it, summoning a massive torrent of water from the sky as the wall of flame bear down on them, "Water Style: Great Waterfall Vortex!"
The summoned water formed into a giant waterfall vortex like its name and clashed with Sasuke's Fire Jutsu, pushing it back as Naruto formed a Rasenshuriken and added his water nature, "Wind/Water Style: Odama Rasenshuriken Typhoon!", and threw it. The technique increased in size as it passed through the water and crashed into the Fire Jutsu that started to get put out.
"What?!" Sasuke snarled, jumping out of the way of the Water and Wind style jutsu that he had never seen Naruto use before, which had easily broken through his technique, and glared hatefully at Naruto, who was panting from using several high-ranked jutsu in a row in such a short time, and feeling the strain that'll hopefully fade away soon.
"Fucking dobe! Why don't you and your cumdumps just die?! Do even remember who I am in that peabrain of yours?! I am Uchiha Sasuke, the Last Uchiha, and this world will be under my rule through my revolution!"
"And what makes you think that I'll allow that to happen as long as I live?!" Naruto demanded, pissed at Sasuke's choice of words for his girls, while inwardly hoping that the Uchiha's uncontrollable pride will get the other newcomers to come over his side to help fight him, "What the hell gives you the right?! Nothing!"
"It's not nothing at all, dobe. It's actually quite simple that even a retarded loser could understand better than you. It's because I can. Because I have the power to do so! It's because I have the desire to do so! And it's because you're the only one who can even hope to stop me that you need to die here and now. I'm going to do what that bitch next to you couldn't do and take everything in this world through my revolution! Only this time, there will be no traitors from my bloodline to stop me! Ever since the Uchiha came into existence, we've been denied everything, all because we thought absolute power is preferable to rule the world with. Love? Ha! It's just a folly! It makes you weak. It made my brother Itachi weak, and now he's dead because of it. And you know what, he deserved his fate!"
"Keep talking asshole..." Naruto muttered under his breath while feeling some of the others, from their auras, slowly siding with him.
"Now I'm stronger than him. Better than him. And despite that bitch taking the old man's powers away from me, I still have some left! I've also gained new power! You know why? Because I am an Uchiha, and we are the Elite of the Elite! No one is better than us, no one! Not even you, despite all your so-called accomplishments, dobe. Everything will be mine, everything! And best of all, there's nothing that you can do about it. At the end of the day, that's all that matters, so you, protected by your bitches from my new power, have the honor of dying by my hands!"
"Well said, Sasuke." Zetsu agreed with pride as Sasuke raised his hand to initiate his Kirin jutsu, but was thrown off by Naruto's laugh, like he didn't take him seriously.
"I don't know, man. I rather have a family and be loved for who I am, than have absolute power and be a fucking nutjob in taking over the world." Naruto remarked as he stood up, "What do you think, girls?"
"Yeah. This guy has no idea what he's talking about. At the end of the day, he's just a spoiled little child, lashing out at the world like a baby throwing a temper-tantrum." Lightning replied slyly in a mocking manner directed at the Uchiha.
"In that case, we'll treat you like a child and give you a beating your parents neglected to give you!" Kaguya said with finality as she reactivated her Byakugan and Rinne Sharingan.
"You'll never win against Sasuke. I'll make sure of it, mother." Zetsu said, smirking directly at Kaguya who got riled up at his mocking over now.
"Zetsu..." Kaguya slowly seethed, starting forward as Lightning held her back with a hand on her shoulder, with Naruto, Ino, Hinata, and Karin bracing themselves as Sasuke's Kirin lightning jutsu manifested in the sky.
"Sasuke, a few words of advice if you're truly ready for this. Even the most brilliant lights in the world eventually flicker and die. Even if you are able to kill me, it wouldn't matter. When the light is seemingly gone... darkness will return. So you may prepare your guardians, build monuments to a so-called "free world," but take heed... There will be no victory in strength alone. Because light always remains, even if you can't see it and with that small twinkle of light, there is a revolution to your own rule. I guarantee someone will finish this, but that someone won't be anyone else. Death itself won't stop me from killing you!"
"Rabble on and on you worthless dobe. Your time is up, and my revolution, is NOW!" Sasuke declared and unleashed his deadly jutsu upon his opposition.
"We'll see about that!" an echo of a angelic female voice sounded from the Heavens as the Kirin made contact with the rebellion against Uchiha Sasuke's Revolution, just as Zetsu lost his smile.
"It's done. No one can stand up against me now." Sasuke stated with an evil smile, "I win."
"I wouldn't count on that, Sasuke." Zetsu countered simply as the dust cleared, revealing a purple and yellow barrier hanging horizontally above Naruto and the girls that protected them from the Kirin.
"I cannot stand by and let you erase the very hope of this world, Uchiha Sasuke! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that!" the voice shouted, drawing everyone's attention to the air to find a woman appearing in her 20s with long flowing green hair reaching down to her lower legs with a golden tiara on top, green eyes, and wearing an elegant and regal low-cut sleeveless white dress with red trims and numerous gold ornaments, wielding a golden and blue staff and a blue and gold mirror shield.
Play "The Return of Palutena" from Kid Icarus Uprising
"Who-?" Naruto was asking dumbly with a question mark floating on top of his head.
"About time you joined us, fellow sister!" Kaguya said as the new goddess landed in front of the others, facing an infuriated Sasuke and a now nervous Zetsu.
"We knew when Naruto unleashed his power, you would be awakened. What the hell took you so long to descend, Miss Know-It-All Palutena?" Lightning asked in annoyance as Palutena turned around.
"I...got lost on the road of life?" Paultena replied meekly, with Lightning scowling and walking up to her after noticing a food crumb her cheek, "Which is a pretty long road to be honest. It looks like I missed a lot, like your growth, Kaguya..."
"Eh?!"
"Take this!"
In a flash, Palutena used Warp to teleport behind Kaguya and grabbed her from behind by her breasts.
"No, no, not again! Don't!" Kaguya wailed as Palutena squeezed her breasts, "Ah!"
"Mmm, just like old times. You have the same smell, and your boobs have gotten bigger..." Palutena said sultry as Kaguya shivered in pleasure.
"Uh, is this really happening right now?" Naruto asked, the sudden awkwardness increasing as he, Hinata, Ino, and Karin sweatdropped.
"Pa-lu-te-na!" Lightning said eerily from behind the green-haired Goddess of Light, who then sweated at Lightning's ominous aura, "I'll ask you again! What took you so long?"
"Um yes. Uh? What did you think I did?" Palutena asked meekly with a nervous laugh, while her hands were still on poor Kaguya's breasts, with the Rabbit Goddess crying anime tears.
"You were busy stuffing your face with salad before you got here, you baka glutton!" Lightning snapped as she pulled on her fellow goddesses' cheeks with a tickmark on her head.
"Owie~ I'm sorry, Lightning-oneesama!" Palutena wailed as Lightning continued her assault while Kaguya and the others sweatdropped more at the scene.
"YOU DARE MOCK ME WITH YOUR COMEDY ROUTINE?!" Sasuke roared in anger as he was fed up and summoned his new Susanoo that was a combination of his and Madara's Complete Body Susanoo's, "DROP DEAD! BLAZE STYLE: SUSANOO KAGUTSUCHI!"
"Uh-oh! Off-screen voice of a pissed off gay Uchiha!" Karin yelled as the arrows was over charged.
"Weiss, Yang, Freezerburn!"
A girl in white wielding a rapier dropped down in front of Naruto's group and created a sheet of ice on the ground, as well as a girl with blonde hair that wielded odd yellow gauntlets followed and punched at the frozen ground, creating a mist-like effect that hindered Sasuke's visibility. Not one to be denied, Sasuke fired the arrow of dark flames.
"Santen Kesshun, I reject!"
A massive orange, triangular barrier formed in front of the Susanoo the moment Sasuke fired the arrow, with the result being the arrow blowing up in Sasuke's face, with the faces scattering apart, setting fire to Sasuke's Susanoo and hitting nearby Zetsu, who escaped with a Wood Style substitution.
"Argh! What?!" Sasuke snarled as he put out the flames and swung his Susanoo Sword to get rid of the mist to look for the source of the new shield; his eyes following three small streaks of light that retreated back to the hairpins of a busty orange haired, brown-eyed young woman, just as an ice mirror appeared from above with a thought to be dead person, flinging ice senbon at him to forced him to move.
"Haku-chan?!" Naruto shouted in surprised at seeing his dear friend alive once again.
"Yes, I'm alive for good, Naruto-kun." Yuki Haku said, overjoyed and turned to the Uchiha, "You'll have to do better than that, Uchiha!" she crowed as she stamped her foot on the ground to unleash her Thousand Needles of Death thanks to the moisture and ice on the ground.
Before Sasuke could voice his outrage, he and Zetsu were forced to dodged as a rain of light arrows fell from the sky at him, fired by a young woman with similar hair like Lightning's; arrows that Lightning herself recognized and was shocked to see.
"S-Serah?!"
"Tiro Finale!"
It wasn't over, as another young girl in yellow fired an oversized gun that blew through Sasuke's Susanoo, as cries of "Power of Destruction!" and "Holy Lightning!" was heard, and Sasuke and his forces were forced to move to dodge bolts of red energy and yellow lightning fired off by a voluptuous duo of a black and white clad redhead and a ravenette wearing a miko outfit. Then a large bullet from an oversized gun, wielded by a busty blonde Draculina with red eyes and elongated fangs, hit Sasuke square between the eyes that shattered his Susanoo and caused to scream in pain as he bleed from them.
'I see. Using Sasuke's ego to get these strangers to your side. Smart, but at the end of the day, it means nothing.' "There's too many of them for us to handle, and has the humans would say: discretion is the better part of valor. We need to retreat to begin gaining a foothold into this world." Zetsu advised Sasuke as the avenger panted from the strange attacks focused on them.
"It doesn't matter how many bitches the dobe gets on his side of the field. They're nothing before an Uchiha!" Sasuke growled as he held his bleeding eyes and to his shock, saw a flock of crows with a very familiar person within it, "No, it's can't be!"
"Foolish little brother..." Uchiha Itachi muttered in disappointment, "I trusted you, but you fooled me and everyone else. I said I would always love you no matter what, but now…"
"DAMN YOU UZUMAKI!" Sasuke roared, looking to charge an equally shocked Naruto, and fired a Blaze Style: Great Fireball at him, but a blur appeared before Naruto with a set of Mangekyou Sharingan and cancelled it out with their own Amaterasu, "No, no, no! Not you too!"
Sasuke was now like wild animal, refusing to believe that the one who stopped his attack was his own mother back from the dead, Uchiha Mikoto, who looked at him with sorrow and disappointment.
"Mikoto-san too?!" Naruto gaped, while Sasuke let out an unholy roar and charged forward, but Zetsu held him back with his Mokuton.
"No! Uzumaki may look ready to fall over, but your own family is against you, we need to treat your injuries, and you still have to get adjusted to your increased powers. We retreat for now..." Zetsu countered sternly as he used his greatly strengthened Wood Style gain from Yamato's body to surround him, a frothing at the mouth Sasuke, and the latter's new enslaved followers.
"Don't let them get away!"
12 close-ranged fighters, mostly girls, charged towards the dangerous new faction: a lone man wearing all black wielding the legendary Dragon Sword, a girl in a blue and white kunoichi outfit, her sister except in purple with a butterfly motif, a brunette skilled in Karate, a blonde wearing a black leather outfit and wielding a big ax, another kunoichi who a shrine maiden and wielding a unique naginata, a geisha in pink, a female tengu in all black, a girl in black robes who looked just like the blue and white wearing kunoichi, another blonde in black leather wielding modernized long-ranged weapons, and a schoolgirl with a black glove with a cute pirate skull design.
"Fools…" Zetsu murmured as he wrapped some branches around the attackers and held on, though the schoolgirl managed to escape by kicking the branch, landing a ways away, and charging forward to help her friends. The Black Mokuton clone also wrapped up in White Zetsu clones all of the people Sasuke had used his new powers on before going a step further and grabbing many of the travellers who looked as if they had not decided to fight against Sasuke yet. Zetsu then slowly directed the next statement to the remnants of the Shinobi Alliance, the dimensional newcomers, and the resurrected individuals against him and Sasuke as he and the others sunk into the ground with his captives, "Let me assure you all: This, is not over..."
They were gone, which was good because Naruto looked ready to fall over due to the adrenaline rush, thanks to the surprising events, leaving him. Naruto looked slightly frustrated at Sasuke's escape, but knew that there was nothing to be done at this point. The Uchiha clan aside from Itachi and Mikoto always were best at turning tail.
"Kasumi-san! Ayane-san! Everyone!" the schoolgirl cried in distress, hoping to get an answer, but there was none.
"Sasuke..." Mikoto murmured sadly, deeply disturbed along with Itachi by the darkness and madness in her youngest son's eyes.
"You're taking this extraordinarily well." Lightning said as she looked to the blonde Uzumaki who looked barely on his feet. "The way you were talking earlier, one might think that you would be upset at yet another missed opportunity in beating him to death with his own arms."
"They're gone..." Karin stated when she couldn't sense them anymore, not truly listening to Lightning's comments as she had yet to even be introduced. Just then Naruto suddenly fell over, causing Karin and several other to rush to him. Karin caught him before he hit the ground and in a startled frenzy began yelling, "Naruto-kun! What's wrong? Naruto-kun!?"
Naruto didn't respond, his eyes closing against his will as Karin, Ino, and Hinata shook him to no avail.
"What now?" Hinata wondered in distressed as everyone gathered around Naruto, with two ladies with red hair pushed their way towards the center where Naruto is, "What's gonna happen now?"
"We prepare for war." one of the redheads with Chinese buns like Tenten and 6 seal tags hanging from distinct hairpins holding said buns stated simply.
The other redhead knelt down towards Naruto and hugged him as she began to emit Chakra from her body that Karin knew came from Naruto having been very intimate with Naruto's own Chakra signature, continuing the other woman's comment, "We will go to war to protect this world from that Uchiha's revolution. There is no more time to waste, Naruto-kun needs our help."
She looked specifically at Karin when saying this. Somehow it made Karin feel good, as if she herself was connected to this woman. They did look an awful lot alike and Naruto was her cousin. Given the familiarity in Chakra signatures between Naruto and this woman, it was highly likely she was his mother. But Naruto told her that his mother had died an hour after his birth. How could she be alive?
"We make for Uzushio!", the first redhaired woman said, "Introductions can be handled at a later point." saying this while looking at the vast amount of people who seemed to still be in the area of Naruto.
"I can get us there." Kaguya said with certainty, holding up a Hiraishin kunai she got from one of Naruto's pockets, "Hold on to your lunches, you brats!"
After modifying the seal on it with her own design in mere seconds, a sight which had both of the unnamed redheaded women eyeing her with interest, she threw it down to the ground and her own unique style of a sealing array reached out to everyone around her. Before another word was spoken, they vanished in a flash along with the remains of the Shinju.
"So, it begins..." Hagoromo murmured before he too, disappeared.
(Konoha, a day later)
"Kakashi, you understand my order correct?" a slightly pleased Sasuke said as he was going to begin the next stage of his plan. It was quite surprising to him that Naruto never bothered to return to the village given his ability with the Hiraishin jutsu. Not that it mattered, nor did he care.
"Yes Sasuke-sama. I'm to organize a meeting with the whole village to announce the end of the war. It will take me no less than one hour. Due try and be patient my lord, as it takes quite a large amount of time to gather the whole village on short notice like this." Kakashi said while kneeling before Sasuke who was sitting at the Hokage's desk with Zetsu by his side. For a man who just fought one of the most difficult battles in his life the day before, the Uchiha looked quite rested.
"Don't worry about that slave, just go!" Sasuke yelled before leaning back into his new chair and resting both his hands in front of his face, tapping them together slowly.
To him, sitting in this chair was a victory over the dobe. The dobe always wanted to be Hokage, ruling and 'protecting' the village for the ultimate goal in acknowledgement. And now he was in the very chair Naruto worked all his worthless life to acquire. When he declared that he was going to be Hokage, he didn't do it to honor his brother and his sacrifice, but to get one over the dobe, and exact the ultimate revenge against the past Hokage for their treatment of his clan just because they believed in power over friendship.
Power was everything, and in addition, it all belong to the Uchiha.
Zetsu picked this moment to make a comment, "Are you sure this is how you want to begin Sasuke-sama? Sending clones of yourself out to the other villages with high level shinobi we gathered from the former Shinobi Alliance who weren't at the battle site with Naruto in order to bring them into the fold under your rule is all well and good, but your chances of enslaving the people en masse like you did to those others with the clones might not work."
"I understand that Zetsu. However you must understand that we have 2 factors to keep in mind. First is the need for me to test the full range of my new abilities and the use of clones to do that is important. If I cannot do it with clones, it is a big loss yes, however we are not losing those villages to the dobe. The reason for that is because I enslaved all those stupid ninja. Having the various ninja return to their villages in a group like that is perfect because it shows that the war is truly over. Better still is how we can use minor testing of a choice few before we go through and make the announcements proclaiming my rise to leadership where I would enslave whole villages at a time."
As Sasuke said that, he got a slight tingle up his spine at just how perfect this was. Here he was, on the verge of completing the Uchiha clan's greatest wish. Complete and total domination over the entire Ninja System. Better still, was that he was in sole leadership of the system since he was the last living Uchiha. After all, what happened yesterday had to be a Genjutsu. There was no way Itachi or his disgraced whore of a mother appeared before when he himself saw that fool fade into dust from his Edo Tensei form and that bitch when she got skewered by his father's sword trying to withdraw from the coup years ago and pinned it on Itachi.
Just than, the door to his office was flung open and a pink flash swooped in, "Sasuke-sama! Ouch!" she squeaked and grabbed her head in pain as she received a jolt, however the shock was a mental trigger Sasuke himself put on her when he enslaved the girl. After all, he would make her his bitch to rebuild the clan, she did get strong enough after all, but that incessant screaming would no longer be tolerated. If only she would learn to stop screaming, she could become the perfect slut to him.
"Sasuke-sama, I took care of things in the sealing chamber beneath the building. In a short amount time, those clones you requested will be ready. Is there anyway I can take charge of their training? Most of those girls have it coming and I can make them serve you to the very fullest of their potential. Owie!" Sakura again screeched out and again grabbed her head in pain.
"Slut, if you do not knock on my door, by Kami I will kill you where you stand and then revive you only to do it again! And stop your fucking screaming!" Sasuke yelled with a tick mark bulging on his forehead before calming down, "Now as to your orders and request, thank you Sakura for preparing these clones. I can't wait to see the dobe's face as I have his own girlfriends sucking my nuts. Really, if only they had proper attitude adjustments, the originals would be perfect for my use in reviving my clan given all the power they have. At least this way I can still make use of them. However, I cannot give you complete charge of their training. You can only take charge of behavioral modification treatment. Beyond that, those girls will need specialized training only their respective clans can offer to bring out their complete potential."
Just then, Kakashi knocked on the door which Sakura had left wide open to announce his presence. "Sasuke-sama, it's time."
Sasuke proceeded to follow Kakashi out of the Hokage's office while Zetsu moved to a spot hidden away through use of his Mokuton abilities. Zetsu was also monitoring the clones of Sasuke who were about to make similar announcements in the four other Great Shinobi villages. His powers made travelling long distances such an easy task and this was something that needed to be done as soon as possible to prevent the Ashura incarnation from gaining more allies.
His other allies were being enough of a pain as it is.
Sasuke meanwhile reached the roof of the Hokage's tower and looked down upon his subjects who all fell victim to his new power. One can tell because as soon as he, Kakashi, and Sakura appeared, everyone started chanting his name in triumph and loyalty. Sasuke nodded his satisfaction and raised his arms like a cross, reveling in the chants for his name. Once some time had passed, he raised his hand to catch their attention, effectively silencing them.
Kakashi started speaking, "People of Konoha, I, Kakashi Hatake, bring word of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Sadly, there is bad news to bear, our beloved Hokage, Tsunade Senju has perished in battle. The same is true for the child of the Fourth Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki..." At these statements, the crowd of people was silent. It was almost deafening.
"However, I bring joyous news to this sorrowful time. Naruto Uzumaki, in his final moments after shielding Sasuke Uchiha from a fatal blow, announced that he would have his best friend be known as a true savior of Konoha. Sasuke's untimely arrival on the battlefield with the four previous Hokage revived turned the tide in a battle against his own descendant, the mastermind of this war, Madara Uchiha."
At this announcement, they were cheers of joy and more chanting of Sasuke's name. Sasuke smirked to himself as everything seemed to be working according to the plan. Kakashi started speaking again, but Sasuke was just waiting for his name. It was just a moment longer when it happened.
"I present Konohagakure no Sato's Sixth Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke!"
Sasuke stepped up to the podium where he was going to bring his Revolution to the masses. "Citizens of Konohagakure, I, Uchiha Sasuke, bear a heavy heart today." Sasuke started, though if anything it was the farthest thing from the truth. He despised every word he was currently saying, but it was needed to butter up the crowd and get everyone's attention. If he didn't do it, this whole test might end up with problems down the line.
"My dear friend, Uzumaki Naruto, has done everything he could to bring me back to my home. What he was unaware of though was my personal SSS-Ranked mission given to me by Tsunade Senju herself. This mission was to infiltrate Orochimaru's organization following the Chunin Exam Invasion that ended with the death of the Third Hokage." Again, Sasuke mentally loved how this bullshit was being eaten up by the crowd of mostly civilian descent. There was also a surprising number of younger kunoichi and shinobi who were in the crowd that could easily be molded into his tools.
"My mission was to gain Orochimaru's trust and in the process, gain training that would reform the Sannin of Konoha, as shown by how Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto were each also trained by members of the older Sannin.I proceeded to 'assassinate' Orochimaru, being unaware at the time of how the man left means to be revived in his Cursed Seals. Through this, Uchiha Itachi met his end as a traitor to Konoha, however not before removing the Seal on myself and telling me of another traitor to our fair village who worked alongside himself in killing my clan. That traitor was of course Shimura Danzou, who met his own end at my hands after he tried to abuse my bloodline in a power grab for the seat of Hokage."
At these statements, many boos were heard, denouncing Danzou's name as a past hero of Konoha. Sasuke smirked, as it was finally time. Everyone was looking up to him in awe and cheers were growing louder and louder. Sasuke raised his arms once again to silence the crowd. He needed everyone to hear him on this, as it was something that relied on auditory suggestion. It had already shown to be effective in small groups as he was getting his clones out with other villages' shinobi.
"People of Konohagakure no Sato, lend me your ears..." the audience went absolutely quiet awaiting his next words, as his voice turned hypnotic. "I need a Sword and a Shield for Konohagakure. This war has left about scattered remnants of evildoers, only made worse by their use of our own former heroes fallen in the war. You are MY people, members of MY family. Our new Uchiha clan shall take this Reformed Shinobi World under One banner, Uchiha Sasuke's banner. We shall do WHATEVER is necessary in defeating these fiends and maintaining MY order. These Evildoers fly the banner of our former allies, Uzushio and by proxy, Uzumaki Naruto, and those of his cohorts are Evil."
The crowd hanging on his every word through his speech, Sasuke finished his speech "The Shinobi world now follows the rule of myself, Uchiha Sasuke. Anything I say is LAW. If someone tries to say otherwise, They are Evil. If someone looks wrong, They are Evil. Evil must be defeated! Live long lives for your new King, Uchiha Sasuke. Defend MY honor and MY rule at all costs. There will be casualties, but YOU can help MY victory. The Uchiha Clan is the rightful rulers of this world!"
"All Hail Uchiha Sasuke! All Hail the Uchiha Clan!" The crowds roaring at this Auditory form of his Absolute Obedience Geass as he has taken to calling his newfound powers were beautiful to his ears. Even more so given that the final moments of his speech cleansed him from the dirty feeling he felt early on in his speech. And it will feel oh so good to bring his tweaked clones that Sakura is now training under his wing. Now if he can only take care of that pesky Uzumaki problem, but Zetsu said something about being regenerated from a fatal attack...
(Uzushio, three months later)
Naruto opened his eyes and blinked to find a white ceiling staring back of him, making him realize where he was as a stale bed. He tried to sit up, but he attracted the attention of his assigned nurse, who rushed over to attend to him.
"Ugh. Hospital..." he growled mentally before frowning as he looked around it find the hospital room he was used to in Konoha quite different, "Except that it's not Konoha. Where am I?"
"Naruto-san! You shouldn't be moving yet!" she chided and gently tired guided Naruto back down onto the bed, but he resisted, getting a good look at his nurse. His vision clearing to see the busty orange-haired girl who blocked Sasuke's Blaze Style arrow with her shield, causing it to blow up in his face.
"You're that girl from before. The one who blocked Sasuke's attack. How long was I out? And I don't think I caught your name." Naruto groaned as the nurse started a check up on him.
"My name is Inoue Orihime. I was one of the ones who came to your world here thanks to your power." the orangette introduced herself with a bright smile, "You fell into a coma after the Uchiha disappeared. It's been three months since then."
"Three months? I was out three fucking months?!" Naruto repeated loudly, trying to get up again as Orihime put a finger to his mouth.
Her closeness also allowed the blonde to get a close and personal look down her cleavage, making him red in the face and tried to prevent himself from getting a hard-on.
She had some big knockers after all that rivaled Hinata's.
"Inside voice please. You're in a hospital after all that was rebuilt and reopened in your mother's homeland, Uzushio." Orihime chided him, with Naruto looking confused.
"Uzushio? You mean Uzushiogakure no Sato in the Land of Whirlpool? How did we get here?" an amazed Naruto asked as the door to his room opened.
The redhead woman with the same hairstyle as Tenten's appeared in the doorway, wearing a battle kinomo and a look of concern on her face as she made a beeline towards Orihime.
"Orihime, we need you to- Oh, you're awake, Naruto." the woman said as the blonde recognized her from the pictures in the Senju houseland shown by Tsunade.
"Uzumaki...Mito." Naruto acknowledged, and then remembered seeing Mito on the battlefield, and then frowned, noting the look of concern, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing you need to worry about. Just a little problem that'll be rectified shortly. You just stay here and rest up. I have it under control." Mito assured him, but Naruto shook his head, sensing that something was wrong outside.
Checking through the strong bonds he shared with Hinata, Ino, and Karin, he was alarmed when he sensed Hinata's distress, followed by Ino and Karin's anger towards whoever's threatening Hinata. Gritting his teeth, he whipped the cover off his person, pulled the IV and wires out of them, and got on his feet, but wobbled a bit.
"No, you shouldn't be moving yet!" Orihime chided him, jumping forward to hold him steady, and blushed when she felt his his hospital gown.
"Sorry, Orihime-chan, but Hinata-chan's in trouble, and by extension the island. As long as I'm awake, I won't let anything happen to them!" Naruto declared as he unconsciously used chakra to outfit himself with his signature shinobi attire that was an upgraded version of his attire worn in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"If you insist on going, then I'll follow you, and Orihime here, on the enemy who is after your dear Hyuuga girl. Follow me." Mito decided and jumped out of the window with Naruto following while being supported by Orihime.
(Uzushio, Village Square)
Kaguya was not happy, and surprisingly, the reason wasn't the fact that she and her sister were now stuck on Earth to recover their lost energy that Naruto used for that mass summoning event, oh-ho no. She was looking eye to eye at the sole surviving descendant of her clan, the Ootsutsuki clan. She was happy to see another descendant from her bloodline, but that happiness turned sour when said descendant revealed his master plan.
"Toneri-kun, could you perhaps run what you said by me again? I think something was in my ear that prevented me from hearing you clearly. That and an anvil may have impacted the head of another version of myself and I'm feeling it from this world." Kaguya requested sweetly as chakra that almost seemed as though it were miasma poured from her body like an aura. She was just a tad beyond pissed right now, if the killer intent that was directed at her descendant was any hint.
"Why are you upset, Kaguya-sama? These filthy humans you're were brainlessly protecting have used chakra for war thanks to your grandson, the Rikudou Sennin. Before I came here, I set my plan in motion by dislodging the moon from orbit so that it can destroy this planet."
"And that's what you call punishing the human race for using chakra the way they did? Kind of extreme, considering there are those in this world that never used chakra. Only on this continent that contains the Elemental Countries and the Western Lands takes up mostly 40 percent of the world uses chakra. But that's besides the point, since your plan will end in failure. Before I tell you why, answer me this: Why are you after Hyuuga Hinata here, who is already taken?"
Toneri just smiled and pointed at Hinata, "I want her to marry me, and spare her from the destruction of the world. Is that so bad?"
"It is!" a pissed off Ino and Karin yelled, pointing at him, as Kaguya sighed, putting her hand out in front of Hinata as if to block him from her.
"Not gonna happen, buddy. You might as well turn around and crawl straight back into whatever little hole you crawled out of." Lightning said and readied her sword.
"I will never marry you, Ootsutsuki Toneri! I'm a part of Naruto-kun's heart already and there's nothing you can do to change that!" Hinata yelled out in defiance, drawing a look of disappointment from Toneri.
"Then I guess your sister or the other Hyuuga girls from that Uzumaki's 'Miracle' will have to do." Toneri said coldly as he eyed them watching from the trees in the back, and activated his Tenseigan.
Just as a blonde suddenly appeared in front of him via Hiraishin, with his Rinne Sharingan activated.
Taking advantage of the Ootsutsuki's shock, Naruto grabbed him by the throat, hard, and lifted him off.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata shouted with joy, making Toneri's eye twitch in jealousy and glare at the Uzumaki with hatred.
"You're awake." Lightning noted with approval as Orihime arrived at her side alongside Mito.
Naruto nodded and summoned a Rasengan in his hand as he gave a death glare to Toneri, who didn't appear fazed, but inside, he was frightened by the intensity in Naruto's eyes and the aura he was manifesting.
"Any last words for trying to take my girl, scum?" Naruto asked, raising the Rasengan up.
Toneri, realizing that he might not make it out unscathed, for Naruto's grip with too strong, tried to talk his way out, "You know, Naruto-kun, with the benefit of hindsight-"
He was cut short as Naruto, in no mood for another epic, prolonged battle, channeled Lightning chakra to shock the crap out of Toneri, at the same time the Rasengan morphed into a Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, and Naruto blasted Toneri away with it. He then shot out an Uzumaki Chain that impaled him in the head and yanked back, beheading him, as the body disintegrated into molecules by the Rasenshuriken throw seconds later. Leaning back to avoid the flying head, he summoned a silver kunai blade, and threw it at Toneri's head to pin it to a ruined building.
"Damn..." Lightning muttered, voicing everyone's thoughts on the fatality Naruto inflicted on an unsuspecting Toneri.
"What? With the benefit of hindsight, what? What? You didn't finish!" Naruto said and chuckled darkly as he dusted his hands off. Naruto then felt a dizzy spell come on as he proceeded to fall down.
"Naruto-kun!" Ino called out as she and Karin caught Naruto with Hinata and Orihime looking him over.
As suddenly as the Uzumaki's name was shouted out in concern, a new threat emerged in the form of one Uchiha Sasuke, who clapped loudly, with the sound appearing to come from all over, confusing and alarming the rest.
"Tch, now what?" Lightning wondered in irritation, as the clapping sounded mocking in nature and did not sound friendly.
Sasuke suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of all those present in the village. Sasuke wasn't sure he could pull this off, but Zetsu had a plan that might help. He wasn't exactly sure testing this power in front of an enemy like Naruto would be wise though, however Naruto barely seemed present given his state on the ground surrounded by his women.
"Allow me to say Naruto, that was quite a sheer magnitude of destruction your jutsu can cause never ceases to amaze. But that wasn't why I came here today. You see, me and you, we just can't do this any longer. We're both at the end of an era here, and with someone of your status present, there will always be problems for me. I'd wager you're thinking the same thing." Sasuke said as he was pacing back and forth, feigning a lowered guard.
"Everyone stay on your guard. Who knows what this limp-dick prick is up to..." Karin whispered and trying to get a sense at what Sasuke was really here for.
Sasuke then continued, "But Naruto, believe it or not, I have found a means that both of us, and all our people as well, can live in relative peace. You might think I'd just enslave the lot of you, killing you personally and then raping all your women, but that is the farthest thing from the truth. You see Naruto, I want you around... We're like bread and butter, ham and cheese, or pepperoni and sausage, we cannot be apart. We need space at times, but we must exist for balance."
Naruto started looking at Sasuke like he was going nuts. Sasuke never talked like this. Even at their last meeting, Sasuke wanted nothing more than to strike him down. Maybe he realized that he couldn't win? No that isn't true. But there was nothing he could do in his currently damaged condition having his body so unused to the now even larger extensive chakra reservoirs.
Kaguya shook her head, "I don't like this. We've seen the real Sasuke. We heard the real Sasuke. There's no way words like those are in his vocabulary. Ino, use your jutsu to contact the others on the island to keep their guard up."
"Leave it to me, Kaguya-sama." Ino confirmed, weaving through handseals and closed her eyes to concentrate, to warn everyone.
Sasuke uncaring of the people meandering in their useless rabble continued, as the last Uchiha had gotten into something of a thrill out of hearing himself speak. Even more so since this was Naruto and he was helpless. "Naruto, I want peace, you want peace. We both know this can't happen though given the current state of affairs. So shall we maybe change the field?"
As Sasuke said that he unconsciously activated another one of his ever so useful Geass skills, this one being The Order. He needed everyone's location for what he was about to do and it allowed him to predict where they were heading and any variables that might come into play. He almost blew a load when he first activated it when Sakura tried bursting into his office and proceeded to trip and hit the door handle with her cheek. She was still screaming, 'Oh Sasuke-sama!' despite the swelling. The repeated shocks were fantastic…
"Something's happening! I feel as if he's locked on to every single one of us on Uzushio!" Karin shouted as her sensory abilities proceeded to go haywire.
Locations noted, Sasuke then decided to end things, "So Naruto, despite our mutual hatred for each other and my newfound desire to see us all live on, I feel the need to change our situational relationship..." Sasuke proceeded to throw something high in the air, followed by a kunai that struck the object breaking it into hundreds of pieces.
"Now, Forget! The Uchiha never existed. The World beyond this island never existed." Sasuke said as his Geass gleemed off what appeared to be mirrors aimed precisely to catch everyone's eyesight no matter how they hoped to defend themselves.
"This jutsu, it feels just like… Oh, no no NO! Everyone close your ey-"
Ino's horrified scream came too late, as a bright light engulfed the island, with Sasuke using the light to leave. He didn't know if his new ability would work, but he wasn't going to stick around to find out.
He had work to do after all. A kingdom needs its king and he had to find some puppet for the future.
When the light died down, everyone gathered in the village square with Naruto in the middle, surrounded by those he feels a close connection to. And like him, them, and everyone else, they were all confused.
They know they're the Uzumaki clan, but who are they now, and what is their purpose?
Meanwhile, on the coast across from Uzushio Island, the bright flash of light caught the attention of a woman wearing black clothing and a purple wanderer's cloak over it, and felt a pull towards the island, as if she's being called to it.
"...Interesting." she mused, pulling back her hood to reveal long violet hair, before stepping onto the water and began her walk to the island to investigate, all while materializing a purple sword made of psychic energy in the process.
(A Millennia later)
Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the
exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.
Mankind have been driven to the brink of extinction because of Titans. Legends tell of of how people once lived beyond all-encompassing walls, as do they tell of how wars were fought with magic. Such fairy tales are often frowned upon and have lead many a good boy and girl astray. But dreamers shall always exist and one young girl sees such a dream bounding through the forest trees with unbelievable ease and completely unaided. Can these legends really hold any truth?
Chronicles of the Maelstrom Slayers GAIDEN fin
-Naruto and company will return in Maelstrom Titan Slayers-
This is SoulEmbrace2010. Apologizes for being late with this. Rixxell will explain the reason since it's on his side, but it's not his fault. Anyway. hope you enjoyed the beginning of the Chronicles of the Maelstrom Slayers series, basically setting up the universe in a big way. Hard to believe that this series is now underway after countless messages between Rixxell and I planning this. The series will follow Naruto and Uzushio as they battle Sasuke and Konoha, while dealing with the events of Attack on Titan, Code Geass, and Kiddy Grade/Girl-and, along with other sub-crossovers.
You may think that this is impossible, right? It isn't, with the amount of planning we put into this. Enjoy speculating, please review, and have yourself a wonderful summer. Take care now, bye-bye then. Oh, and I will continue my stories too.
Rixxell Stryfe here, first off apologizing for the EXTREME lateness in this update. I will freely admit that is because my computer is essentially dead because of reasons better left behind closed doors and I had to juryrig the electrical plug just to get it running... Anyway, I already have a new computer lined up, but I won't get it until September. Maelstrom Titan Slayers is heavily in the works, but without a reliable means to write, I can't do anything.
But considering the delay, you have a nice beefy chapter to set the world stage on a universe that will span Attack on Titan, Code Geass, and conclude with Kiddy are many different plot threads that we purposely left open, for explanation at a later point in time. Also, there is a purpose behind the pulsing power from Naruto... As well as a code?
Please review, as anything you tell us can make the upcoming stories that much better. Have a good day and we'll see you with the continuation in September:)
