-Last time-

I managed to reach Konoha only to find the Hokage my grandfather had told me about is dead and instead I meet his son I lied to him about my age if he knew my grandfather refused aid to Konoha when it was being devastated by the Akatsuki members known as Pain and Konan… Would he still help me?

-Linato clutched at his chest unsure of what to do. After all they've done to me… could I really forgive them? He thought to his self staring down at the floor.

-Naruto helped him up and handed him So'unga "So Linato… I must ask… Do you know its name?

-Linato gave Naruto a death glair "HIS name is Yanato…"

-"Are you sure you don't already have his trust then?" the Hokage asked in a confused stupor

-"He is… still locked in his cell… he still tries to escape every now and then… so yes I'm sure I do not have his trust"

-"Then… how do you know his name?"

-"He told me… he told it to me the first time I changed and used his powers…"

-Scene break-

-Naruto and Linato stood out in the forest of death, they were surrounded snakes frogs and so much more wild life… all this nature… was flowing into them both.

-Naruto turned and faced Linato "Change… I want to see all 11 of your tails!"

-Linato backed away "I go crazy after the 9th tail thou…"

-Naruto just glared "You Will Never Learn If You Don't Try! I USED TO GO MAD AFTER TAIL FOUR BUT I STILL STRIVED TO LEARN TO MASTER… only to learn… you must befriend… him" he stared at his feet a look of defeat in his eyes.

-'He speaks the truth Shi'nodami… I can still feel Kuramas chakra within him… along with the chakra of his 7 brothers… but now I feel my brothers' chakra within him as well… he must have merged them all to make… the Jubi'

-Slowly the golden cloak surrounded Linato until the 9th tail sprouted "Naruto… if you get hurt I'm sorry"

-in an explosion of power the once golden chakra became blood-crimson red, it took the shape of wings a dragon like head, horns, spinal spicks, and all 11 tails. A skeleton formed matching his body one skull formed around his head another two attached to his shoulders and spinal bones attached the wings making the chakra look like the membrane. Linato had entered version two… the madness overwhelming.

-Naruto was in pure shock. The power he felt emanating from Linato was almost enough to make him give into despair. He hadn't felt this kind of power since he stood before Kurama now as the Jubi.

-'Naruto don't go easy or we will die' Kurama warned Naruto.

-Naruto just smirked "Have I ever let you down before Kurama…?"

-they ran at each other Linato wrapped one of his tails around Narutos' arm and slammed him into a tree.

-"RAAAAGHHHHH!" Linato roared out charging at Naruto only to be thrown back by ten black chakra tails.

-Naruto was only in version one the ears claws and tails were all that was formed a black ball gray ball of chakra formed in his hands and slowly four silver blade like things of chakra expanded out of it all Linato could hear was the sound of howling wind.

-darkness… always darkness…why… why am I cursed s… this is all Linato could think of as he sunk into his own mind

-'Shi'nodami get the hell up! I said get up damn you!'

-Linato opened his eyes to Yanato locked behind his cage… all three sets of eyes looking at him with despair why do you care… you want me dead too

-'YOU BAKANE! YOU ARE KAGENOHIKARI NOW ACT LIKE IT! Open your eyes and my cage forgive the darkness of your past and embrace both the light and the shadows!'

-"So basically…" he unlocked Yanatos cage opening it "Unleash hell?"

-'no Shi'nodami… I have no darkness within me we are brothers… it's why I gave you the demon blade So'unga… now… lets show Naruto and Kurama our little trick?'

-Naruto flung his chakra shuriken at Linato only to have it absorbed by Linatos So'unga.

-"Dark pulse…" Linato was back to normal holding So'unga in his right hand. He slashed the air and a wave a black energy swelled and charged Naruto.

-Naruto responded by entering version three… the state of being ones biju…

-"So Linato… what have you learned?"

-"I've learned… to be true to myself…" as he said as the black chakra swelled around him… this is mine and Yanatos form "…. This is our… VERSION FOUR!"

-The chakra clashed with Linatos body becoming three pairs of mighty black wings with crimson-red membrane, ivory spikes sprouted out of his spinal cord, eleven tails extended from his waist he had truly become a human version of Yanato.

-they looked at each other then finally Naruto let out "and what is that supposed to do the malice I felt from you is gone?"

-"my name is… my name is… SHI'NODAMI KAGENOHIKARI!" he threw So'unga down letting the power surge and reverting to version three; a mighty three-headed hydra, with black scales, ivory spikes, ebony talons, and… eyes that looked as if four Sharengon had been merged with a Rinnegon.

-Naruto and Shi'nodami clashed and started to charge up a point blank biju flash dama when a voice called out to Naruto.

-Naru-Kun~ you and your friend change back it's time for diner you bakas!"

-Naruto laughed changing back and walking over to his darling wife Hinata Hyuga.

-Shi'nodami followed soon after not knowing what the hell was going on

-"It's 'bout time you told me you told me your real name Kagenohikari-san"

-End of chapter three-
