And I am back with another update. I wanted to get this out before I go to work tomorrow (As I work all day from 6am to 430pm) and I didn't wanna wait. Enjoy this chapter


Naruto felt shocked by what he had heard, as well as Athena and Artemis, by what he had heard from his father. Shaking his head he looked at his father, "Ok besides the point, but still why didn't you at least wait to tell me after the war instead of just letting them come and find me?" he asked.

Minato only shrugged "Like I said, when I saw you fighting I knew that you didn't need my interference in your life. I already knew Hades was seeing Mikoto and knew he was in love with her for who so I knew Sasuke and his brother were demigods. It wasn't my place to touch them as I knew Hades was right there. Not that I would have done so to begin with." he admitted.

Minato then noticed something, "How'd you lose tat arm?" he asked his son.

Naruto grinned, "I lost it in a fight against Sasuke. Don't worry I got one of his too." he said cheekily.

Minato groaned, "As always when two children of the big three fight." he said before shook his head, "Mind telling me about it?" he asked his son.

Naruto shrugged, "Sure. I got time." he said as the two of them sat down.

"Well I guess I should start with what happened right after you... died again I guess." Naruto said, "Sasuke had declared he would change the world by becoming the only Kage after he killed the Five Kage. He then said that he would also need me to be out of the way so he could reign supreme. Sakura had asked why, but he put her in a Genjutsu and told me that it was now or never. So it was then we traveled to the Final Valley." Naruto said.

Flashback

Final Valley

The battle had been won. Naruto and Sasuke had managed to beat both Madara and Kaguya where they had successfully freed the Bijuu. However Sasuke and Naruto, or rather Indra and Asura had not gotten over their feud. This led the two of them having a small argument before Sasuke had trapped the just freed Bijuu in sphere's of earth and now they had ran all the way here to the place where it had all ended, began, and where it would end for the final time. The reason it ended the first time was because of their previous lives Hashirama and Madara fought to the death here with Hashirama winning after killing Madara.

However this is the place where it all began for Sasuke and Naruto as their journey of transmigrants for the first Uchiha and Senju began. When Sasuke had defected Naruto vowed to the world to not only grow stronger, but to bring his ignorant friend, and probably more importantly brother, back to the village. For three years he trained, and for three years he had grown stronger to the point where none of his enemies stood a chance against him in a fight. He had taken down the fabled Rinnegan wielder Pein aka Nagato his cousin, Deidera, Kakuzu, Hidan, Kisame, Sasori, White/Black Zetsu, Obito and Madara.

First his master and father figure Jiraiya had died fighting Pein. Nagato had died reviving everybody that had died in the leaf village. Konan had died protecting Nagato's Rinnegan when she fought Obito. Itachi had succumbed to his illness when he fought his little brother. Obito had died trying to protect them when Kaguya had fired one of her bone techniques at them. When they sealed Kaguya Madara had died a second time due to the fact he had once been a jinchuuriki and had his tailed beast, even though it was for a few hours, removed from his body. Now it was their turn... it was the battle that would change everything for them.

"You will either have no choice, but force me to submit to you. Or you're going to have to kill me... Naruto." Sasuke said.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at his friend, "Revenge will not bring back your fallen clan," replied Naruto, "So as much as I love you as a brother Sasuke, I'm sorry to say I'll have to go with the first option." he told Sasuke honestly.

Sasuke then responded, "Then so be it. It's been a while since we went full out on each other." Sasuke said. His right hand went up in front of his chest, his index and middle finger pointing up while his thumb pressed his ring and pinky finger down. Meanwhile, his eyes had transitioned from black to vermilion red in his right eye and regal violet in his left. Naruto recognized and mirrored his gesture, as was the standard protocol for a duel between shinobi. They held the Seal Of Confrontation till a single leaf flew out of its tree, blown by the wind. It drifted down towards the water of the lake, carried by the wind in its strong embrace.

Once the leaf hit the water, both shinobi jumped down from their respective statues' heads and sprinted across the lake. They flew at each other and initiated a ferocious high-speed taijutsu match. Sasuke launched a high kick with his left foot, which Naruto blocked. The teen utilized the momentum and flipped, landing on the water. He pushed off and attempted a left hook, but Naruto blocked it once again. This time the Uzumaki retaliated by swinging his right fist but the Uchiha ducked under it. Naruto followed it up with a downward punch with his left hand, but Sasuke evaded it by spinning away in an anticlockwise motion.

The moment he spun around, he shot his left elbow towards Naruto. Unsurprisingly, he blocked it with his right forearm. He quickly continued with a fast right punch, but that too was stopped short by the Uzumaki's left arm. Naruto bridged off from that block by leaning forward and pressing his shoulder against his right arm and chest in a temporary lock while he attempted a low punch with his right hand. Sasuke caught his fist with his left and violently pushed upwards, breaking free of his hold and getting a grip on his arm. The Uchiha whirled him around and chopped his hand down. Naruto quickly set his elbow up in another block.

Sasuke bent his hand over his and slid down the length of his arm, using his fingertips to manipulate his. In this way, he forced him to form the Horse hand seal with him. Naruto looked at it in worry before deciding to thrust his other fist at him. The Uchiha weaved around it and threw his first successful punch at his face, pushing him back. Before he could fall though, he caught his outstretched right arm with his left and this time, forced him to complete the Tiger hand seal. Before he could comprehend what just happened, he reaped his left leg out from under him and brought him into a kneel. While still holding his right hand, he shot a kick at his face which he almost managed to block but didn't.

It connected and the impact stunned him, allowing him to follow up with a second kick to his abdomen. This caused him to double over, enabling him to plant his feet onto Naruto's back and kick off explosively like a springboard, launching him away from him. While upside down mid-air, he brought a hand to his lips and expelled a giant fireball. The Uzumaki heir leapt back and avoided the first one, which crashed into the water and brought up smoke. He then launched two consecutive fireballs. Naruto evaded them by bounding backwards in a zigzag manner, before back-flipping and landing on the side of the statue.

The blond was about to form the clone seal, but was interrupted by a kunai flying out of nowhere which pierced the wall right next to his stomach. Attached to its ring was shinobi wire. Like a zip line, Sasuke pulled himself up and rocketed towards Naruto. The blond took a step back up the wall and they carried on with some more taijutsu. For unknown reasons, Sasuke was particularly fierce in his taijutsu, more so than usual which put a lot of pressure on Naruto as he had never experienced such a tight battle before. The Uchiha interfered each time he tried to make shadow clones, which was very irritating.

The boy spun down low to avoid a sweeping blow before popping up with a feint and then firing off a kick which sent Naruto off the wall in a plunge. While mid-air, the Uzumaki's fingers slid into the shadow clone seal. Smoke burst beside him to reveal shadow clones. When Naruto hit the water, he applied chakra to his feet to repel off and after grabbing his shadow clones, swung and tossed them up towards Sasuke like rogue missiles. As expected, the Uchiha managed to dodge the first one by sidestepping and kicked the second away. But while his back was turned, a third clone slammed into him. Naruto capitalized on this and quickly jumped up after his clone.

Seizing him, both rolled at high speeds up the side of the statue and once they reached the top at Hashirama's shoulders, the blond threw him with great strength at the Shodai's neck. He smashed into the wall, landing in an upright position. Sasuke looked up and saw several shadow clones with Rasengan's in their hands incoming and quickly extracted himself from the crash site. With his Sharingan, he was superior in combat and easily weaved in and out of the clones' attacks and defenses. A Kage Bunshin came at her in a coordinated attack with two other clones. The Uchiha performed a back-flip and rolled over the first clone's back, using it like a pommel horse and snapping his feet out sideways to neutralize the other two clones.

When he landed, the first clone spun around but he swiftly dispatched it with a vicious uppercut. At that moment, the original flew at him with an intent to initiate a headbutt, but he formed a cross guard and blocked it. He followed up with a roundhouse kick which threw him away. His Rinnegan glowed as he stuck out his hands. The original and the remaining clones surrounding him jumped back only to be drawn in by his Banshō Tenin, unable to resist its attractive force. He channeled more chakra to his eyes as he executed a second dōjutsu technique, making his right eye warp into a Mangekyō. "Enton: Honoikazuchi (Blaze Style: Honoikazuchi)!" Sasuke intoned.

Black flames manifested around him and shaped into spikes which pierced through the clones. Only the original managed to stop it with a partial manifestation in the form of a Six Paths Sage Chakra Arm. Two more manifested from his back and came together before smashing down on the Uchiha, throwing up a lot of smoke. Unsurprisingly, Sasuke escaped from it unscathed. Naruto entered Six Paths Sage Mode and sent a chakra arm at him out of the smoke. With his Sharingan, he foresaw the motion and quickly dodged it. Another chakra arm branched out, forcing him to evade them in mid-air by leaping from one to another. Naruto sent his left arm in a secondary assault.

Sasuke jumped and landed on his chakra arm before springing off it again while forming hand seals. When he entered an upright position, he spewed a giant fireball at the blond. The Uzumaki withdrew one arm and placed it in front of him, expanding the palm to block the fireball. Naruto dug his heels into the ground as the force of the powerful jutsu pushed him back. All of a sudden, he sensed his chakra appearing behind him. "His left eye is-" The moment he turned back, he smacked him with a Chidori, sending him rocketing off the statue and into the water. Naruto managed to keep himself afloat, just in time to see Sasuke manifesting his Susanoo.

A giant purple bow formed in its hands and so did an accompanying arrow. He knocked it along with two other projectiles and fired them off at the Uzumaki, whose hands slid behind him. He then threw the Gedou Dama at the projectiles stopping them and making them land in the water causing a huge explosion which Sasuke used as a cover to channel more chakra to his Susanoo and bring it from a Level 3 to that of a Perfect Susanoo. With his advanced chakra control, Sasuke managed to stabilize the chakra of his ultimate weapon and complete the technique's pinnacle stage. His Susanoo was the size of the Hokage Rock, matching that of Kurama in terms of height.

It possessed massive armor and wings, as well as giant wicked blades larger than Gamabunta's. A gem on its forehead was where Sasuke stood, controlling the entire chakra construct. He jumped off the First's statue and flew through the smoke towards Naruto. The blonde had sensed a horrendous spike in chakra and braced himself for whatever incoming technique Sasuke was about to throw at him. He least expected a titanic avatar the size of the Kyuubi. Once Naruto saw it, he clapped his hands together and summoned chakra from Kurama, letting it overflow, wrap around him and converge into an avatar.

Sasuke could see that he had channeled the chakra of the Kyuubi and ground to a halt mid-flight. He backpedaled slightly and ripped the warrior's sword of its sheath just as Kurama's chakra form came into view, his nine tails flailing menacingly. The Uchiha directed Susanoo's sword at the Kyuubi but Naruto swiftly repelled it with a vicious swipe of his tail. The force behind the block propelled the sword out of the avatar's hand and caused it to crash into the nearby forests, taking out many trees in the process. Sasuke cocked his fist back and swung it at Naruto, who countered similarly. Their chakra avatars' fists clashed and caused water to crest around them in waves, inadvertently exchanging memories.

As the two of them continued to fight, Sasuke was exposed to the hatred Naruto had felt as a child when he was severely mistreated by the village, more than when he had first heard of it from the Uzumaki himself. His loneliness and despite all that, his kindness were also felt by the Uchiha, touching him deeply. As they exchanged more blows, more emotions flooded into each other's heads, filling them with a blast from the past. Naruto experienced a sense of loss stronger than anything before, an effect of the Uchiha clan massacre which had scarred Sasuke strongly. He now understood with great clarity why he had been motivated to murder his brother, as well as why he respected him.

In his eyes, Naruto's kindness to him was a balancing force against all the chaos and loss he had encountered as a child, a never-ending source of stability for him. A pillar of strength to support him. The very wind beneath his wings. Sasuke continued his barrage relentlessly, and each time, Naruto blocked it. Finally, his Susanoo executed a kick to his stomach and launched him towards shore. He sent a fireball at Kurama, but the fox avatar leapt up and towards him. The Susanoo then fired off a volley of fireballs skyward at Kurama. The manifestation of the Kyuubi dodged the first one, used his tails to slam the second one away and evaded the third one. He swerved and avoided the last one, before flipping and tackling the Susanoo into the lake with a splash that reached the heavens.

As the sky stirred with storm clouds, they continued to fight hand to sword. The Uchiha manifested a second blade and wielded both, slashing down at Kurama with a cross slash. The fox avatar brought his tails in in front of his face to brace against the impact, deflecting it away to his sides. The power behind the slash was so much that the force rippled across the water quickly and slammed into the forests at shore.

"What's the matter? Are you only going to play defense?" Sasuke taunted. Naruto scowled and pushed his hands out, telekinetically commanding the nine tails of Kurama to push out with great strength and repel the Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo off it with a roar. The purple titan flew back, but didn't have the chance to get far as the Uzumaki used his avatar's tails to seize it by the leg and pull it down, dragging the Susanoo into the water. Simultaneously, a purple ball formed rapidly at Kurama's mouth. The bijuudama hovered threateningly, primed at Sasuke's Susanoo but did not fire off.

The Uchiha clicked his tongue in annoyance. Naruto would not win as he did not have the intent to kill him, but he didn't either. Neither wished to kill off the other but both wanted to knock the other out. While it was easy to kill someone, knocking someone unconscious without killing him was a delicate job and had to be done very carefully. His left hand crackled with electricity for the third time that day, invoking thunder to gather and fly down towards the Kyuubi. His left eye amassed chakra too in order to initiate Amenotejikara. The celestial beast crashed down on the titan in a flash of bright light, disorientating Naruto as Sasuke and his Susanoo shifted away. The impact created a shock-wave which spread out and gradually ebbed.

"That's not even close enough to kill me." Sasuke told Naruto.

"I told you! I'm not trying to kill you! I'm-" however Sasuke interrupted him before he could finish. "Enough." He formed the 'Rat' seal. This caused the Tailed Beasts that were trapped in their celestial prison's to fly over to their location. Naruto had to dodge one of them so he wouldn't get hit. Naruto noticed that they had stopped behind Sasuke. Sasuke spoke up gaining Naruto's attention. "I'm the strongest in this world right now. So right now, right here... will be my first step into the shadows." Sasuke said. Naruto turned back and saw Sasuke amassing a great amount of chakra from the Tailed beast's which caused his Perfect Susanoo's armor to split open slightly, exposing the lightning colored humanoid within.

"This is bad... He's merging all the chakra that's been scattered into one... And doing it unbelievably well too, almost unrivaled. He's just as good as Old Man Six Paths... Well except he's doing the reverse thing... There's no Gedo Statue here, so he's making the Susanoo the receiving vessel. Something incredible is going to emerge... Don't let your guard down, Naruto." stated Kurama. Naruto nodded. While the body of his Susanoo had been "solid" before, now it seemed completely solid if not for the fact that Sasuke was encased in the jewel on its response, the fox avatar formed the shadow clone hand seal. Four clones burst into existence next to him.

"That Jutsu again? Naruto... that Jutsu of yours symbolizes your weakness. That's right... it's a jutsu that covers up your loneliness!" Sasuke said. Sasuke then began his onslaught, he appeared above the original and slammed a rod fashioned out of pure lightning down on him, sending him crashing into the forests. The shadow clones began to fight back, but each time, Sasuke's Susanoo proved superior in strength. Two shadow clones grabbed his avatar by its hands in an attempt to restrain it, and a third grabbed its back. The fourth spun around and smashed its nine tails at the purple titan's face, following up with a direct punch. However, the clone's hand exploded when the recoil hit.

Sasuke then mustered some strength and with little effort, smashed the two Kyuubi restraining the Susanoo's arms together. He back flipped and broke free from the grip of the one restraining his avatar's back, before taking him out with a downward kick. He sped forward to the fourth shadow clone and plowed his Susanoo's foot into his stomach. The clone was knocked out of the air and hit the forests. The original and two other clones continued with their attack. The two clones tried to strike Sasuke's Susanoo, but he fended them off with the rod of lightning in his hand. The original blitzed his with a high-speed jump, forcing him up and through the clouds along with his two clones.

The four combatants burst through the clouds and continued to clash within the stratosphere. The Uchiha deflected the two clones and slammed an armored fist into the original. The resultant force propelled the original back towards his two clones. The three fox avatars began charging up Bijuudama, while Sasuke's rod of lightning arced to become a bow. The bow was knocked with three arrows materialized from Indra's chakra - an extension of his will. The foxes released their Tailed Beast Balls just as the Uchiha fired off his arrows. Indra's chakra overcame the bijuudama and pierced through them - triggering explosions - before heading straight for the three avatars.

The arrows vaporized their right sides completely and left the gaps undulating with chakra. Naruto scowled at Sasuke. The Uchiha returned the stare and said, "You'll never win this, Naruto. You only hold a small piece of the Bijuu chakra... You can't win against me now! Nor This" Sasuke said gathering his chakra and forming a arrow of lightning.

Seeing this Naruto spoke. "Not yet?! Kurama!" Naruto said. on the ground sitting in the lotus position was a Kurama shadow clone.

"I might have amassed too much, in fact. It's everything that's available. Here it comes!" the fox said before Naruto dispelled the shadow clone which had been knocked away by Sasuke earlier and had been gathering natural energy ever since. He felt the surge of natural energy in his body rejuvenating him, and with that, he merged his fox avatar with the two shadow clones next to him to form a titanic three-headed six-armed fox and began to form two large Rasen-Shuriken in the six arms of the giant avatar, each filled with a highly unnatural amount of Senjutsu chakra of the six paths which could be felt from miles away at the time.

Sasuke's eyes widened as he could see the sharp increase in natural energy because it was scarily visible in the sheer amount that Naruto had just gained. "I can feel it... how did he gain so much Natural Energy so suddenly?" he questioned himself.

Then Naruto's Kurama avatar spoke "Let's do this" it said.

Sasuke smirked "So you finally decided to kill me, huh?" Sasuke asked seeing the two Rasen-Shuriken. In retaliation, he channeled all of Indra's chakra he had left into an arrow of pure lightning, enhancing it with his Six Paths Yin Power which amplified the jutsu's power a thousandfold. The blonde narrowed his eyes and growled at Sasuke as colossal Rasen-Shuriken's the size of planetoids formed in his avatar's six arms, augmented by natural energy and Rikudō Senjutsu Chakra.

It contained every single drop of chakra Naruto had left in his own reserves, and that was saying a lot. "We've taken on a lot of responsibilities upon our shoulders... And I want to fight against you fair and square.. But not the current you. So why don't you... give up... on trying to make me give up... Sasuke!" the blond roared as he released his twin astral orbs at his brother figure, just as he fired off his counterattack.

"Rikudō: Shin Taikyoku Chōōdama Rasen-Shuriken (Six Paths: Twin True Supreme Ultimate Massive Rasenshuriken)!"

"Indra no Ya (Indra's Arrow)!"

When they released their attacks Sasuke had a thought. 'This fight with you right now, will be my last. Indra's Arrow... currently my most powerful jutsu in my arsenal... So just... die. Just be gone already... Disappear.' and the two jutsu collided. The collision resulted in a fiery fulmination to an extent not experienced in sixty years before now. The heat was so strong that it vaporized most of the water in the Konoha-sized lake, leaving only a stream trickling down the Valley of the End. It also generated a powerful lightning discharge that destroyed much of the countryside and toppled the heads of the two statues, as well as setting fires to the remains of the decimated forest.

A dark storm cloud the size of a hurricane stirred ominously overhead, and strong winds blew outwards from the point of collision that breezed through the surrounding lands and could even be felt as far away as Kumogakure. Sasuke could feel his chakra levels drop to nearly empty and scowled to himself as the cloud buffeted him with a continuous strike. His Rinnegan flashed and he began to absorb the energy in the air.

The two teens dressed in very ragged clothes fell through the air and crash landed on the grounded and both somehow cratered the place where they landed in crouches. From the state of their clothes one could see that they had been in a major battle, as the dark haired teen had a hole through the back of his chest with bloodstains on the shirt showing he had survived being stabbed by a weapon. The golden haired teen however was wearing a mesh shirt that was missing most of the sleeves for the arms.

The blonde's dagger glowed blue and he then threw the knife with astounding speeds towards the other. The other teens sword flashed as it glowed with lightning. The two teens charged and began to exchange a fast paced sword to knife fight that most would be hard pressed to follow. Sasuke unleashed a barrage of shuriken he coated with searing flames through his fire jutsu. Loud and deafening explosions akin to that elicited by modern high-caliber artillery fire then ensued as the supersonic projectiles impacted the ground where Naruto formerly stood. Like a blur, Naruto appeared behind Sasuke wielding a Rasengan on one hand.

He then slammed the jutsu in to the latter, though taking heed of his aim not to kill his former comrade. To his surprise however when the Uchiha used his sword to block the attack; he saw how the accursed blade disrupt the spinning chakra of the Rasengan until the jutsu started to flicker and destabilize then inexorably extinguish. Streams of crackling lightning abruptly emanated from Sasuke's hand which he then channeled to his sword causing it to glow even fiercer as if the entire blade is now a construct of pure effulgent energy. With blinding speeds he then proceeded to execute a forward slash intending to cut Naruto's body in half.

The blade effortlessly glided through the other shinobi's body like a searing hot knife on to butter. Sasuke however knew that victory wouldn't be that simple against such a formidable opponent. His analysis was proven right when the bisected Naruto suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke. "A clone..." Sasuke muttered while his scarlet gaze calculatingly scanned every direction, trying to anticipate where Naruto's next attack will come. Suddenly, a strange brilliance emanated from the skies then as the raven haired shinobi raised his head up he saw thousands upon thousands of Naruto's shadow clowns, each wielding an Giant Rasengan.

"Sasuke!" Naruto and the rest of his clones howled intensely as large orbs of compressed chakra spun fiercely from their hands.

Naruto was hell-bent to release his friend from the enthrallment of his past life by any means necessary, even if it means beating him to a pulp. Evasion was not an option for Naruto's wide range attack was all but impossible to avoid. Seeing all of the duplicates of the blonde suddenly appear in the air holding giant orbs of energy was of course no form of surprise to the Uchiha as he knew all the blondes tricks. In the end there was only one recourse available to Sasuke, he must call upon the power he had just acquired in the Valley of the End, and he must unleash it in its full force. Spinning inverted patterns then morphed in his eyes as his Sharingan transcended its current form and transformed into Mangekyō Sharingan.

Subsequently, dark blue flames emanated around his body and gigantic skeletal ribs and arms attached to a great skull began to materialize, forming a full bodied Susanoo faster than a blink of an eye. The army of clones struck the Susanoo and the ground started to shake from the energy output as the unmovable sheild met the unstoppable force. The devastation ensued by the countless exploding Odama Rasengan was beyond belief for the plateau they were standing on just moments ago was almost hollowed out at its culmination. Sasuke remained unharmed by virtue of his Susanoo's nigh indomitable defenses but was in awe as he beheld how powerful his opponent was.

Stranger still, the lurid flashes purveyed by the waves of exploding chakra stirred something deep inside of him. Shadowy visions of dubious memories flashed before his eyes like the phantasmagoric rapture of a prolonged nightmarish dream. An uncanny feeling crept inside him as the detonating Rasengans' beat upon his senses like waves of disintegrative force that lacerated the inmost fibers of his body. This fight...this was what a true battle was meant to be like... it was perfect. His musings was abruptly disrupted when suddenly he felt the immense strain of the ninjutsu. The pain, along with the immense chakra drain has prompted him to deactivate his Susanoo.

"Sasuke please...let's not do this any further." Naruto said in a gentle voice trying reason out with Sasuke and appeal to his better senses.

"You talk a too much." Sasuke said austerely as he folded his hands in to seals and compressed large amounts of chakra inside his body. "Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire)" Sasuke exclaimed, unleashing a torrent of intense flames which he skillfully molded into a dragon head shaped fireball and directed towards Naruto.

With a single hand seal Naruto conjured up a dragon made of water. "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu (Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet)" he called out drawing massive amounts of water from the moisture around the air and from the remains from the stream nearby then shaped it into a gigantic powerful dragon moving at very high speeds, clashing with Sasuke's fire jutsu.

Large amounts of steam was unleashed as the two powerful technique's connected, creating an upward movements of air current that subsequently caused the already dim skies to erupt into a wild tempest of lightning storms. "You intend to use the enormous energy in the atmosphere to create a powerful lightning jutsu. That's the Sasuke I know." Naruto said calmly with a smile on his face, giving praise to the other shinobi's skills.

"You caught that huh? No matter... It's time to settle this. You will die right here." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face. "This jutsu is called Kirin; it guides the lightning down from the heavens. All I have to do is merely direct its power right to you." He then continued while his right hand was gradually engulfed with crackling arcs of lightning.

Naruto knew that it would be next to impossible to avoid the jutsu unless he blitzed himself out of the battlefield, though he opted not to, instead he chose to greet the attack head with that in mind a golden cloak of chakra flared up and surrounded his body like raging flames. The chakra then molded itself into an immense battle avatar that can easily rival Sasuke's perfect Susanoo creating an awe inspiring sight to behold. Sasuke then raised his hand and thunderous rancor emanated from the heavens as arcs of lightning danced from cloud to cloud and formed what looked like a dragon composed purely of frenzied fulmination.

For a split second the chaotic arcing ceased as the lightning seemingly accrued into a single accumulation point. "Be gone with the thunderclap!" Sasuke said coldly, slamming his hands downwards and causing the condensed pillar of lighting to dart towards Naruto. The once stunning plateau was totally obliterated and the lush vegetation surrounding it burned to cinders or forcibly torn from their roots by the subsequent blast-wave as the lightning crashed into the blonde's avatar. When the dust settled it showed Naruto somehow unharmed, and his battle avatar unscathed. "Impossible!" Sasuke muttered seeing the blonde take his Kirin and survive unscratched.

"Are you done yet Sasuke?" Naruto asked his friend.

Instead of answering Sasuke grinned madly, "Now this is a fight." he called out gleefully.

Naruto groaned as he looked at his rival, "I'm glad someone is enjoying themselves." he said dully.

"Naruto, let's be honest. The little spat we just had was nothing for us. It is time the two of us got serious." he said with a mad look in is eyes, "The fight we are having is only achieved when two mortal enemies confront one another on a battle of raging blood and sweat." he said madly, "This is what a true ninja battle should be like! You are the only one to have ever matched me blow for blow, so let's give it all we got and see who will succumb first!" he called out madly.

"If that is what you want, then so be it." Naruto said as he stood up taller.

Sasuke smirked, "Alright, let's get wild." he said as he cracked his neck.

Naruto summoned his bisento out of it's seal and quickly grabbed hold of his weapon, slamming the end into the ground, a powerful aura began to release from the man's body as he looked to Sasuke. A thick wave of chakra erupted from the blonde erupting forth with great power. Naruto didn't hold back, locking onto his rival and releasing his chakra, unleashing it at full strength. The blonde man's surroundings rippled as powerful shockwaves tore towards Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and suddenly a wall of chakra rose up from his body in a way similar to that of Naruto, his presence alone destroying the ground around him as he unleashed his chakra from each of his pores to combat the wave of chakra Naruto was releasing. This was what true power looked like. Nothing would stand in the way of two powerful wills tat sought to do what they desired with every fiber of their being. The Chakra clashed violently against one another in a battle of dominance. As the blue and purple colored chakra clashed, it began to dissolve, dissipating as beneath a layer of gold was revealed.

The blue chakra melted away as a thick pillar of golden colored chakra erupted from every pore on Naruto's body. The golden chakra collided with Sasuke's own chakra, overpowering it and headed towards the last Uchiha. This golden chakra was Naruto's and Sasuke's true chakra; true chakra was the expression of one's true desire. For one to achieve the ability to use their true chakra they had to accept each and every flaw about their being, as well as the entire worlds. In all of history only six people had managed to obtain this power-those being Naruto, Sasuke, Hagoromo Otsutsuki the Sage of Six Paths, Indra Otsutsuki, Asura Otsutsuki, and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Naruto growled and swung the massive bisento into the incoming golden energy, daring to meet it head-on. The blade collided and a powerful shockwave erupted as fissures appeared in the very air itself. The entire landscape shook as the two attacks collided. Shockwaves erupted on impact scattering out, causing cracks tp appear around the two of the warriors. The air itself along with the remains of the lake water quivered, rocking back and forth as it rippled outwards to form tidal waves.

"Hahahaha! Now that is strength!" Shouted Sasuke his tone of voice betraying the excitement he was feeling, he was so looking forward to this fight. Would Sasuke be the first in this world to force him to the next level?

Naruto slammed the tip of the bisento onto the ground once again as he cratered the earth and looked at Sasuke, a smile of excitement forming on the blonde's lips, "It's been a long time since someone has given me a challenge! Come on Sasuke, let the fun begin! GURARARARA" Naruto roared unleashing a powerful laugh that shook the land.

Sasuke gave a grin and swung his arms out to the side, golden chakra bursting forth "I want a real fight! I want to experience the true thrill of battle! It has been far too long!" the Uchiha said before he reached out with his right arm as he lifted his right and bit his thumb before wiping the blood down his left arm which gave off a puff of smoke to reveal the Kusanagi blade Orochimaru once wielded in battle.

With Kusanagi in hand, the Uchiha released the hold on his chakra reserves. Purple chakra spiked shooting high up into the air, cratering the earth as it was freed from its confines. Chakra became a giant pillar whipping up a strong gust of wind. Waves crashed against the sides of the cliff as the energy started to expand, encompassing the entire plateau in its glow. The elements became wild as lightning flashed across clear skies. Nearby islands over thousands of meters away began to shake violently as earthquakes shook the land. Crevices were formed in the deep oceans as the earth was pulled apart.

Wind wrapped violently around the duo, wile at sea the winds begun pulling the ocean upwards as a maelstrom was formed, reaching up to the skies. The ocean raged becoming so violent, whirlpools had formed. The air became saturated with the thick presence of both Sasuke and Naruto's chakra. The pressure exerted caused marine life to float to the surface, knocked unconscious from its powers, their bodies floating atop the water, creating tidal waves.

The enormous pressure exerted from Naruto's reserves caused the nearby trees to bend away while they begun to groan in protest, cracks forming along the length of the trunks. Both Naruto and Sasuke could feel their legs shaking, beginning to buckle under the godly pressure that pressed against either of them. The two of them felt like their knees could give out at any minute, and one would fall beneath the ever-growing pressure. Naruto however showed no fear. Instead, the excitement began to boil inside, "Sasuke sure isn't holding back like I am, guess he truly is enjoying himself if his chakra is getting as riled up as it is. Now then, let's see if your ability to fight can back up that power you possess. Show me what you can do SASUKE!" Naruto roared in his mind, swinging the massive bisento down towards Sasuke, the world seemed to shatter behind the weapon as it came downwards. Naruto quickly channeled the force of his quake power behind the swing, using it to empower the weapon.

Sasuke released a laugh, swinging Kusanagi up into the path of the incoming polearm. The sword seemed to hum as the weapons clashed, well it almost seemed to be purring as it was swung upwards, meeting the giant polearm head on. The two clashed, a shockwave exploded out on impact, appearing to seemingly break the space around it, bending reality. Chakra and swords clashed against one another, fighting for dominance. Two powers, a strong will and the ability to destroy the world, clashed with the power to breathe and destroy life.

The shockwave echoed out into the world, nearby islands of Mizu no Kuni shook violently, splits beginning to form along shores. Deep beneath the oceans where the two fought, deep sea crevices over hundreds of meters long were split open. The Plateau they both stood on began to crack, pieces breaking off, sections of the cliff near the two broke off and were obliterated turning into dust. Naruto and Sasuke stepped back; their weapons lowered beside them. "Not bad, Sasuke" The Sage said as he looked at the cackling Uchiha.

"Not bad either, Uzumaki." Sasuke replied with a grin.

Sasuke and Naruto stood opposite one another and begun to measure each other up, clashing in a battle of pure will.

Sasuke was the one who broke the silence, charging forward, appearing in front of the quake user swinging Kusanagi from the right, making its way towards Naruto in a effort to cleave him in half. The blonde Uzumaki threw out his left palm, bringing it into the swords path, seeming to carry the power to destroy the world. Steel and open flesh met as a shockwave erupted on impact destroying the surroundings, earth was sent flying into the air as the ground shook as the world around them shattered, debris flying into the air. The shockwave from the impact carried on destroying the surrounding forest making the tree's collapse.

The sword grew in size, and suddenly extended. Naruto leaned back as the sword cut through Naruto's hand with the intent to cut it off. The blonde's right fist reached out, appearing to grab onto air itself as tremors erupted, striking against the sword knocking it and Sasuke backwards. Naruto in turn gripped the bisento in his right hand and charged towards the Uchiha quickly closing the distance. Naruto was nine and a half feet tall, so that meant he was easily the biggest person in his graduation class.

While he was big he was also incredibly fast even for one of his size which put the muscular Raikage to shame, closing the gap instantaneously and punched out with his left fist. Vibrations shook the air, causing the ground to quake as the giant fist headed towards the blondes enemy. The entire continent seemed to shake under Naruto's power.

A crazed laugh escaped Sasuke's lips as he leapt forward into the fray of battle to meet the fist head on. Kusanagi was gripped in the raven haired teen's right hand as he punched out with the left to meet the fist as he utilized Shinra Tensei to combat the power of Naruto's Quake ability. Raw purple chakra erupted from the limb as it transformed becoming ethereal, no longer appearing to be made of flesh as Sasuke called upon his Susanoo to enhance the power of his Almighty Push. The limb forged of chakra collided with the fist that contained the power to shake the world. A powerful quaking force travelled through Naruto's arm as another shockwave erupted on contact.

A clash of pure unadulterated power erupted and formed a visible clash of energy of both gold and purple as their power's clashed with everything they had and rose into the air and was seen from every direction due to the sheer height of its reach. As this happened several explosions erupted from the ongoing clash of energy causing the world around to shake for miles.

The ground was broken as a crater formed at the feet of the warriors. The bodies of both warriors went sliding backwards as the force of their collision generated a shockwave so powerful it could knock them back. Sasuke gave a growl before he reached out with his left hand and bit his thumb once more and slid it over another seal on his right bicep which caused another cloud of smoke to appear as he unsealed a second sword, a sword they were both familiar with. The sword was as big as Samehada and took the shape of a giant cleaver with two cut-outs in the blade one at the top and a semi-circular one near the handle. Lifting the giant blade, Sasuke pointed it at Naruto, holding Kusanagi in the right as power seemed to be resonating with the new sword. Sasuke had pulled out the Kubikiribocho one of the seven swords of the mist, a legendary sword just like Kusanagi.

Holding the two great swords in hand, Sasuke launched into action, running towards Naruto with great speed. With just a few steps, the Rinnegan wielding ninja had appeared in front of Naruto, jumping up into the air swinging Kubikiribocho downwards with an overhead swing. Naruto's bisento came upwards meeting the blade of the oversized butcher knife, another shockwave erupting on impact. Swinging upwards from beneath was Kusanagi coming to join its fellow sword. The snake sword was blocked as a giant palm came down containing the power of vibrations. A powerful earthquake shook the air as the sky began to break; a long crack had been created in the sky as the clouds parted from the clash of power.

Sasuke may not have been as strong as Naruto was due to his size advantage and Naruto's power, but his eyes certainly made up for it. Naruto on the other hand could withstand practically anything thrown at him, as shown when Kaguya had shoved a lava encased fist into his stomach. Add on to the fact his Kekkei Genkai aptly named "The Sound of Shaking" certainly added onto that fact. With the power to cause powerful vibrations and quakes with but a punch, Naruto was said to possess the ability to destroy the anything and everything he desired. The power at Naruto's fingertips went to demonstrate just how strong not only the man was but also the strength of his Kekkei Genkai. It had been claimed that the Sound of Shaking inadvertently gave Naruto the power to destroy the world.

Sasuke was pushed back as a powerful quake struck him, launching the Uchiha backwards. With a flip, Sasuke landed on his feet, both great swords carving a fissure in the earth as the blades dug into concrete. Raising the two swords up, he rested them on his shoulders, smiling from ear to ear. It was clear as day from the smile that the teen was having the time of his life. It was not every day the man could find someone to give him at least some kind of a challenge. The floor shook as Naruto made his move, taking the chance to go on the offensive. A giant fist punched out, the force of an earthquake behind it as everything around the fist was destroyed; mountains toppled over and fell, earth crumbled, and everything seemed to break as the vibrations affected everything.

Kubikiribocho was swung into the path of the approaching fist, sharpened blade meeting flesh. The power of vibrations hit the blade with enough force cracks appeared along its edge. A crater formed again, expanding rapidly from the strength placed behind the punch. Sasuke grit his teeth as he even felt vibrations travelling into his body, carrying enough force to push him backwards, forcing the Uchiha to dig his feet into concrete, sticking to the surface with chakra as Kusanagi was plunged into the ground, bringing the former ninja to a halt.

Naruto continued to hold back, savoring this test of physical attributes. As advanced as Naruto was with Elemental techniques, he lacked in the experience department unlike Sasuke. A power containing the strength to destroy the world descended as Naruto leapt at Sasuke and swung the massive bisento from the right. The air rippled and was pulled behind, becoming distorted as the giant blade continued its path. Metal met metal as the Kubikiribocho intercepted the polearm, the blade shattered on impact unable to withstand the force a second time after being damaged. All that remained was the handle and the lower half of the sword.

The force behind the polearm strike had sent Sasuke flying out to the right, smashing through large rock formations and trees causing them to topple over on top of him. A purple pillar of chakra broke through the debris, turning it into nothingness. Pure untamed chakra surged out violently, washing over the entire space making it shake. The sound of the ground cracking sounded out as fissures appeared in the earth around the two combatants as a testament of how powerful they were. Sasuke calmly stepped forward carrying Kusanagi and the broken Kubikiribocho. Flicking a hand the broken cleaver sword was tossed back into the Uchiha's pocket seal one again, followed by Kusanagi. However Naruto simply dusted his hands off, looking up towards Sasuke as he stood still waiting patiently.

"You're just as eager for this aren't you?" Naruto grinned from ear to ear, taking a few steps forward while picking up the pace which begun turning into a full-blown run as Naruto charged towards Sasuke who mimicked him. White chakra gathered in the palm of his hand, taking the shape of a electric spear which tore the ground apart from all directions. "Chidori (Thousand Chirping Birds)" Sasuke called out. The powerful electric chakra was thrust forward towards Naruto's as he crossed the distance closing in on Naruto.

Naruto couldn't help himself and released a bellowing laugh and swung the bisento into the path of the lightning with one hand. Chakra surged out of the lightning spear as it met the polearm head-on. The bisento's blade vibrated coming into contact with the glowing lightning, making the ground quake beneath the impact. Powerful Chakra exploded out from the impact crashing against the bisento, creating a tiny crack at the tip. Chakra surged down the polearm into Naruto's arms, sending a shock of pain through them.

Naruto reached out grabbing onto the air itself with his right hand and pulled down. The world fluctuated as the mountains, lakes, and even the forest's were seemingly pulled towards Naruto, the world becoming distorted. Everything in a fifteen mile vicinity was pulled from their foundations as the world swayed back and forth as if wanting to collapse on top of its foundations. This power demonstrated, was the power that had the ability to destroy the world over.

Purple chakra erupted from Sasuke's palm, to meet the incoming collapse of space, in the form of a giant lightning spear ten times the size of your average lightning spear, "Chidori Lance" Chakra and metal met as the spear expanded rapidly in size and detonated. Hurricane force winds came into existence on the impact between the two forces as chakra decimated everything it touched grinded down into dust. Cracks emerged on collision rapidly spreading out from the point of impact between the two attacks as small fragments of the domain broke off.

Sasuke charged forward leaping high up over the conflict, falling towards Naruto. Chakra circulated around the Uchiha's right arm as it was raised into the air, chakra coming together to form a purple Chidori three times the size of a normal one. The blade of lightning was pushed down towards the blonde sage, "Wakusei Rakiri (Planetary Lightning Blade)" Sasuke called out.

Naruto punched out into the air with his free hand, skin turning metallic black as he coated every vein, bone, muscle and his skin in chakra as powerful vibrations echoed off the fist. Cracks formed around the fist as the world became distorted under the powerful quake contained inside. The quake cracked the void of space as it travelled towards the Planetary Blade of Lightning meeting it head-on. Vibrations and quake energy collided head-on with the overpowering Six Paths Sage Chakra, causing the spear of lightning to detonate in mid-air. The blade of lightning chakra expanded exponentially in size with such force both Sasuke and Naruto were blown backwards. Chakra consumed the surroundings tearing the earth and the surrounding mountains apart until all that remained was a giant crater over fifty meters in diameter.

Sasuke landed on the broken ground, sliding backwards before coming to a halt fifteen meters from the edge of the crater. Across the other side was Naruto who had been pushed back a similar distance. "GURARARARA, You sure aren't holding back are you. I like it!" Roared Naruto as he crouched down before launching forward, jumping up into the air, crossing over the giant crater with ease, showcasing his physical abilities. The spot where he previously stood had been had shattered beneath his feet as Naruto sailed over the crater falling towards Sasuke swinging the massive bisento downwards while he put the power to destroy the world into his swing. The bisento came down quickly, cracks forming in the air as the world began to shatter beneath its power. Metallic silver transformed becoming black as he once more covered every bit of his entire arm from bones to skin with his powerful Chakra while he covered the tip of the bisento increasing its attack power significantly.

The air became distorted as chakra circulated into Sasuke's right and left palm, ready to face the incoming attack head-on. A burning Chidori formed in his left hand as he coupled it with the power of his Amaterasu. His right hand held a combination of wind and fire chakra inside spun wildly growing in force as elemental chakra poured into both spheres. In the right sphere fire, elemental chakra poured in transforming it as he quickly added his lightning chakra to the already deadly chakra.

The two elemental techniques were pushed up towards the incoming bisento, as they were pushed up the two spheres connected. Chakra moved between the two spheres of elemental chakra fusing them together, bringing fire and lightning together into one giant sphere that was raging internally with a violent lightning storm and wild inferno. "Raienton: Arashi Daifunka (Lightning Flame Release: Storm Great Eruption)"

Lightning and Fire clashed against Vibrations in a battle of endurance. The two forces pushed back and forth, Sasuke forcing the energy upwards, as Naruto put his weight and strength behind the polearm. Splits began to appear in the world around them, as pieces began to shatter beneath the weight of the four types of power. The Lightning blade began to break away as the elements stored inside were unleashed, a great heat exploded outwards as bright red flames came into existence, yellow lightning crackling amongst the fire as the elements worked in harmony.

The ground became scorched as a tidal wave of fire poured forth, heading upwards towards Naruto with the intent to engulf the sage. Naruto however, removed a hand from his bisento while reaching out to grab at the air as the raging storm of lightning and fire ascended upwards. Fingers wrapped around the sky, clenching and pulled downwards with a roar, bringing the world down upon the incoming elemental attack. The world collapsed on top of the raging fire lightning storm, detonating on impact. A giant dome of elemental chakra erupted expanding outwards.

Sasuke vanished backwards in a flash, as the dome expanded towards Naruto with the intent to swallow him up. The dome was a giant swirling tempest of flames as lightning surging violently within it. Everything was swallowed up by the elements as they clashed against Naruto. The blonde sage transformed both arms with his extremely potent chakra, gripped the bisento and slashed downwards creating a deep cracking fissure in the air. The powerful quake travelled onwards coming into contact with the raging elemental storm.

The quake impacted and the two techniques detonated, exploding violently, destroying their surroundings, washing over Naruto engulfing him in a torrent of fire empowered lightning combined with the power of vibration escaped these cracks destroying the land around. The world around them had started become affected by their battle as the vibrations shook the ocean's floor creating earthquakes and tsunamis. Chakra raced across the sky summoning up terrible lightning storms across the entire continent; red flames tore across the sky as balls of fire descended.

The land quickly began to shake, large cracks forming in the earth that rapidly spread out, destroying everything. If this continued, it was entirely possible the world would surely be destroyed. Naruto stepped forward, scorch markings running up his arms, the tips of his hair had been signed, but the man looked no worse for wear. Naruto had survived the rush of elements that exploded from the collision of techniques. The bisento he carried had taken battle damage, cracks running down the metal with a chip or two in the blade.

Sasuke grinned from ear to ear and shot forward like a missile. Speeding towards Naruto, intending to fight the man in hand to hand combat, to test the Uzumaki's physical attributes. The Uchiha warrior was a blur, moving at speeds almost impossible for any ordinary person to track, but Naruto wasn't ordinary by any means. Using his Mind Eye of Kagura passed down to him from his mother, he easily intercepted his rival.

Sasuke quickly appeared in front of Naruto hovering in mid-air, is right fist striking forward. Naruto quickly reacted, a large left palm intercepting the punch. On impact, a shockwave detonated outwards destroying the ground beneath their feet. Sasuke however was far from done, using the arm as a springboard to jump up into the air above Naruto, extending his left leg and bringing it down in a falling as kick aimed at the blonde's head. The heel came downwards with the intent to smash Naruto's head into a paste. The air shattered as a giant arm was swung upwards; the Uzumaki's left forearm met the strike head-on, hardening with chakra and contained the force of an earthquake. The ground shook, crumbling inwards from the impact as the land began to break again, large splits spreading out from the point of impact. Naruto roared, swinging the giant limb, releasing the power of the Sound of Shaking unleashing a massive quake in mid-air. With that the remaining mountains twenty miles around crumbled as the earth collapsed away.

The force sent Sasuke flying backwards, where he crashed into a group of trees. Looking up, the Uchiha watched as Naruto rubbed his forearm, a bruise had already begun to form. Charging back in, Sasuke confronted Naruto once more. With every strike, Naruto would block. The two of them flashed around the battlefield engaging with their fists, each impact creating shockwaves that destroyed the terrain. The sage met each strike without hesitation, blocking with a hand or swinging his bisento meeting it head-on. The world shook violently with each confrontation, fractures appearing around them causing more disaster to follow.

Neither one let up, as even Naruto went on the offensive, cracks forming with each punch or swing of the nearly broken polearm. Shortly both opponents had given up on defense, trading blow for blow. The ground shook, as shockwaves exploded out on flesh, blood spilling onto the ground, accompanied by wisps of golden chakra. Sasuke and Naruto's body were both engulfed in chakra as strands fused together constantly repairing damage; entire pieces of Sasuke's techniques had been blown apart under the force of Naruto's powerful vibrations.

Naruto stumbled back using the bisento to steady himself. The sage was covered in fist-sized bruises, blood trickling down his torso and lips before he spat out a tooth, accompanied by a large ball of blood. Naruto's face had swollen up, but the man wasn't bothered by the pain at all, instead reveling in it. How long had it been since he had been injured in battle? The last time he remembered being injured was in his last fight against the Uchiha he was fighting, in the same spot nearly four years before when he defeated Naruto by shoving a fist through his chest.

"Enton: Gouka Mekkyaku (Blaze Release: Great Fire Annihilation)!" Sasuke called out as he breathed in kneading his fire nature chakra in his body before expelling a virtual sea of black flames. A tsunami of intense flames came into existence spanning a wide range, bearing towards Naruto, to engulf him in its sea.

Naruto only laughed at the incoming sea of fire before a fist smashed against the air in front of the oncoming attack. Fissures appeared in the earth swarming towards the wall of flames. Powerful tremors smashed against the fire tsunami splitting it in two was a sea of fire poured around the sage leaving him unharmed. Soon the fight between Sasuke and Naruto used no tactics, both of them attacked directly with no plan, simply fighting through the use of overwhelming strength.

Sasuke's hand lit up with electricity as he summoned his famous Chidori around his hand. Naruto simply inhaled before giving a call of "Futon: Renkudan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Projectile)!" Five compressed balls of air shot forward; each fired from Naruto's mouth as the sage hadn't moved from his spot. Each of the spheres was at least one-third of Sasuke's size. The Uchiha showed no fear and leapt over the strike and dived at Naruto. The blonde sage simply smirked before he punched the air, releasing another overbearing quake that collided with the strike making them detonate. Gale force winds shot out on impact blowing debris away and knocking over more tree's and collapsing more land.

If these two had fought on a popular island or even hidden village, the loss of life would be astronomical, as would be the damage. Naruto brought the bisento down, settling into a lunging stance. Feet dug into the ground, muscles condensed as the blonde shot forward, vibrations erupting from his feet destroying the floor and launched the sage forward with great speed. "HRA!" The bisento was thrust forward, aimed towards Sasuke's chest, the world around it shattering carving a deep fissure in the air and earth.

Sasuke merely kicked off, charging directly into the path of the oncoming polearm, thrusting his right arm outwards, chakra coming to life in the open palm. A purple Chidori formed as he lunged forward towards his foe. The empowered Chidori collided with the tip of the bisento, the electricity ground quickly into the blade, quickly dulling it's edge. At the same time white Chakra ground against the edge of the electricity as a powerful quake collided into the lighting. The clashing energy surged through the two, destroying the vibrations and smashed into the blade. The sound of cracking was heard as the bisento blade began to break. The Uchiha gave a push, and the blade shattered into thousands of pieces that were ground into dust from the electricity.

Naruto gave a growl before he dropped the polearm and punched out with both hands, covering them in his powerful chakra turning his arms black. The two fists collided with the incoming lightning attack and a tremendous earthquake erupted. The world shook violently as the cracks that had already been created split open further then ever before, deep fissures form in the earth as mountains and forests sunk deep into the ground.

An explosion reacted as the two forces collided, the natural Six Paths energy coursing through the Chidori travelled onto Naruto and coursed violently through his body. The powerful vibrations released by Naruto flowed through the air into Sasuke's right arm breaking it as the residual quake energy created a deep fissure in the surrounding land. The entire valley began to shake from the force; pieces of earth fell from the mountains as energy began to escape. The world shook violently, as the world was cracked from top to bottom. The world around seemed to darken, losing its shine as clouds once more gathered in the sky from the clash of chakra.

As for Naruto, the energy had flowed through his arms, tearing the muscles and bones from the inside, before hitting him in the chest. The Sage's lips parted vomiting up a large amount of blood as he was sent sailing backwards, crashing into the ground with a loud thud creating a human-sized crater. Naruto climbed to his feet, strands of golden chakra shooting out from his wounds regenerating the broken limb. The Uzumaki flexed the arm and examined the area around him. The land around him and Sasuke had taken quite a bit of damage from the strike and from those that came before it. If the fight continued, it was very likely the world around them would be destroyed.

A groan escaped Sasuke's lips as he began to stand, arms aching as blood dripped from them like a waterfall creating a virtual river of blood at his feet. The Uchiha growled as he gripped his broken arm, only to snap it into place quickly resetting the bone before he flexed it to see if his Six Paths Power had healed it fully, which it did. Naruto and Sasuke turned to face each other to ready for another round, however before they could charge a voice spoke through Naruto's mind 'Naruto, he can't be saved.' Kurama spoke softly, coaxing his partner to finally see the light regarding the Uchiha. 'I know you sensed it, his negative emotions. It's consumed him Naruto. There is nothing left for him but death. Redemption is not an option anymore.' Kurama told his partner.

Naruto knew it was true, and he gave a mental sigh 'I know, Kurama. That doesn't make it any easier, he was still my comrade.' Naruto thought stubbornly.

"Naruto... We're both at our limit, this is it, kill or be killed, either way your precious Konoha will fall." Sasuke cackled madly, goading the blonde into a state of rage.

"Susanoo!" Sasuke roared, chakra pouring out of him at a rapid pace, coming together to form the ghastly purple warrior that engulfed him.

'One more time Kurama.' the blonde requested, fists clenching at the menacing sight of Sasuke's completed Susanoo. He cracked his neck as he prepared to end the feud between the two brothers once and for all. Looking around him he could tell that they were definitely not in the valley of the end anymore, and they had an audience.

Naruto focused once more as Kurama continued 'We need to make this fast kid, your body can't handle much more.' the fox voiced in concern.

'It's going to have to.' Thought Naruto, he's not a stranger to pushing past the boundaries of his limits; this time wouldn't be any different. "Let's go wild... KURAMA!" the blonde roared at the influx of power and chakra he received from his partner. His shroud came, morphing into a full powered version of Kurama he glared at Sasuke as he gathered everything he had for one final attack, a monumental sized and concentrated bijuudama that was equivalent to one of the Ten Tail's own was fired against the mighty Susanoo's magatama shaped black flames. While they wouldn't burn him into ash they would still burn him.


Location: Naruto's Seal (Kurama's POV)


Kurama. That was the name the old man had given him. It was lost to time. Kyuubi no Yoko, the nine-tailed demon fox, was the name the humans had called him for centuries. He didn't blame the humans for calling him that. He suppose he earned the name in the end for what he had done. People of the old world had called him a natural disaster, appearing suddenly out of nowhere to attack areas that had been breading the darkest aspects of the human nature. They were not wrong. Kurama and his siblings had drifted away once Hagoromo and Ashura had passed away. He had chosen to honor his father's wishes and continue his work through his immortal life. He was a being of pure chakra, pure energy.

He would not age, get sick and he could not be killed either, and there had been many people who had tried when he attacked. The first few years after Hagoromo's passing he simply wandered the land. Ashura was taking care of everything. But then he passed away and his descents fell very short of their ancestor's wishes. They forgot their burden and tasks they should have carried on through their blood. And so, for centuries, Kurama tried to keep humanity on the path his father had given them. Even when humans themselves forgot their very origins. Hagoromo had given them chakra so that humanity could understand each other with no words.

Kurama watched as humanity learned to harness their chakra. Each generation carrying on and improving until the gift of chakra was used for war. Humanity had learned to strengthen their bodies and bend the elements with peculiar ease that surprised even him. But even the best of them fell short of his father's abilities. That man could bend chakra to his will like feeble paper. And so Kurama felt compelled to end it. He struck with unstoppable fury, carrying death in each step. He attacked the source of their power, destroying their villages and erasing their knowledge of chakra. But he couldn't do it alone. The world was far too vast for a single being to accomplish.

Even for someone like him. And so he asked his siblings to help. Pathetic, all of them. They declined and hid away from the world, claiming that hurting humans was against what father had whished for in the first place. Foolish siblings, all of them. And so Kurama kept doing his work along for centuries on end. Centuries more passed and humanity still hadn't learned. He grew tired of humanity's lack of understanding and so he stopped. He found a mountain and carved himself a small den, so that he could rest for a few years and perhaps when he woke up once more, they had learned something.

How wrong he was.

He was woken, not by free will, but by humans themselves. Shinobi, ninja, they were calling themselves now. Armed with swords and other weapons they had the gall of charging head on against something like me. Foolish humans. I squashed them all like the bugs they were. How far they had fallen. They carried some forehead protector on their heads. I noticed the symbol but discarded it nearly immediately.

Only later on I would realize that was actually the symbol of their village. At least they had learned something, those shinobi. Now if they were all together in the same village like the old man's wishes then it was all over.

Of the attacking group only two shinobi survived. Ginkaku and Kinkaku had somehow managed to survive my powerful chakra and ended up with a watered version of my abilities. I spat them out and left them half alive on the ground. I left their fate to the gods and walked away to find another den. And then came Uchiha Madara. Just from his chakra I could feel he was descended from that retched Indra. But my eternal surprise were his eyes. Some evolved version of the sharingan. And with that he managed to control me, no matter how much I resisted. He subdued me, manipulated me, the greatest of all bijuu, like some doll.

I was summoned to do battle against Ashura's descendant. Now that had been a surprise. I could feel their chakra. Ashura and Indra had been reincarnated and decided to go at it again. And this time, I was a tool in their arsenal. In the end I was sealed into a human vessel and found myself with my mental faculties returned.

I was relived.

Don't misunderstand me. I hated Hashirama and his wife, hated Konoha…but better a cage than a leash. Mito and I didn't talk, and she didn't wish to use my chakra so I was contempt to simply wait. I was eternal and she was mortal. Even if I was switched to another vessel there would come a time when I would be free. Human years meant nothing to me as I had already lived centuries before any them.

The second vessel was some girl named Uzumaki Kushina. This one did try to talk some times. I kept silent as I had nothing to say to her. Then one fated day she had birthed a son... Naruto. I was content with staying within my prison, however it seemed as if the gods were against it and another Uchiha appeared and ripped me out of my seal and used me as a toy for his own purposes. That made me angry beyond reason. Naruto over the years we knew each other reached out and offered his friendship to me where I continued to lash out in anger.

Then during the war he reminded me of who i was. He freed my siblings from their prisons where they now rest within the seal with me. Indra's current life wanted to use us to rule the world.

I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!

Kurama saw red and flared his power, flooding Naruto with his powerful chakra and ripping out of the seal. With a mighty roar that shook the valley, Kurama appeared in the real world in an explosion of smoke and rock. The small clearing they stood in exploded outwards in a shower of debris with Kurama emerging from the cloud of dust, his nine tails waving wildly behind him.

The blonde sage as well as Sasuke's eyes widened in a mix of shock and disbelief when they saw the large bijuu appear in front of him so suddenly. Even Naruto stumbled from Kurama jumping out of him with no warning and charged against the damned Uchiha with fierce determination.

"SASUKE" Kurama roared, snatching the Uchiha midair and plummeting to the ground with his prey. Sasuke's Susanoo ribcage shielded him from Kurama's claws as both crashed into the ground of the rain village. "I dreamt of this hour" Kurama said gleefully, showing a row of sharp teeth and pinning the Uchiha under his massive claws. "The hour I could rip you to shreds" Kurama said, pushing the Uchiha farther into the earth, his ribcage shield cracking under the pressure. Sasuke focused on the bijuu, his silver eye glowing with power. The bijuu allowed an arrogant smirk to grace his lips. "You are foolish, Sasuke. Naruto and I are still bound together. I'm above your petty illusions now"

"Hn" Sasuke grunted before clasping both hands together inside his shield. The ground rumbled as trees burst forth, pushing Kurama backwards and entangling his limbs until he was trapped on the ground.

"Mokuton (Wood Style)" Kurama whispered in sheer disbelief from the ground. Sasuke said nothing and slowly climbed to his feet, his ethereal shield disappearing from view.

"Honestly" Sasuke scoffed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "What did you expect to happen? You think you could charge against me and crush me that easily. Please! You are nothing but a filthy beast, a mere chakra conglomerate" Sasuke smirked when he saw the Fox snarl and felt his power chakra twist in anger.

With a deafening roar the tree bindings were shattered and the great Kyuubi rose once more until he stood looking down at Sasuke from his imposing size. "You will lose, Sasuke. And I will take great pleasure in being part of your defeat" Kurama snarled before jumping forward, the ground cracking and shaking with each step he took. Sasuke braced himself as he saw the Kyuubi get ready. The massive bijuu broke into a run. Sasuke stood still, waiting patiently for the beast get near him. Kurama raised a paw to the air and brought it down swiftly. A deafening shockwave rose from the impact, leveling the mountains around.

Moments before Kurama had struck, Sasuke had jumped to the side and high into the air. He had avoided the shockwave by landing on Kurama's nose. The bijuu roared in rage before furiously shaking his head to get rid of the parasite in his head. Sasuke then started running around Kurama's body, much to the bijuu's annoyance. Kurama threw himself to the ground and started rolling, trying hopelessly to squash Sasuke beneath his body. Sasuke, however, simply ran around Kurama's body while he rolled on the flattened ground. With a swing of his tails, Kurama struck himself on the torso and finally managed to get Sasuke to jump away from him.

Seeing the Uchiha in the air and without proper ways to outmaneuver, Kurama began charging his ultimate technique. Red and blue chakra filled the air above his mouth as it began converging into a single, menacing dark sphere. "BIJUUDAMA (Tailed Beast Bomb)" Kurama swallowed the dark sphere just before a pure reddish energy ball exploded from his mouth, heading straight to the stationary Uchiha.

The Uchiha smirked before lazily rising a single hand towards the incoming energy ball. "Shinra Tensei" He whispered and the small pulse hit the energy ball and deflected it. He watched as the ball flew of and exploded in the horizon, filling the sky with a piercing red light and a mushroom cloud formed not far away. Sasuke landed on the ground and watched as Kurama charged another attack. He launched another tailed beast ball, this one racing straight towards him and destroying everything in its path.

Sasuke clasped his hands together in a pray sign. "Mokuton - Mokujoheki (Doomed Wall)". A wooden dome rose in front of Sasuke moments before the tailed beast ball connected. The wood screeched under the assault but managed to hold on until the ball was deflected back into the air and once more exploding in the distance. "I don't need my Rinnegan. I'm going to make you submit with my strength only" Sasuke said as he lowered the wooden barrier. His eyes glowed, "Amaterasu"

The blonde grunted at the continued assault of black flames, his shroud protected him from the brunt of the damage but it was still hotter than hell and underneath all the chakra, he just knew his skin and organs were cooking. Mentally thanking Kurama for his rapid healing, he condensed the black sphere, pulling it back into his shroud's maw he shrunk it to the size of a slightly bigger than normal Rasengan. Sasuke grinned in insane glee at the sight. This was the moment he was waiting for, ever since their brutal skirmish at the valley of the end. He was done with the petty spars and the half assed attempts at fighting him in order to bring him 'home.'

Scoffing at the thought, he prepared his Susanoo, gathering a massive orb of black flames in his secondary hand he covered the sword in Susanoo's primary hand with black flames as he grunted from the pull on his life force. "NARUTO!" Sasuke hollered, Susanoo's arm threw the massive ball of flames at the Kyuubified shinobi, he wasted no time in following up with the burning sword, aiming right at the fox's head where he knew Naruto would be.

"SASUKE!" Naruto bellowed, releasing the bijudama from his shroud's maw in a concentrated beam, he watched as it bypassed the Uchiha's fire, carving a hole right at the center. The beam clashed with the Susanoo's sword, where it halted in it's path briefly as a power struggle occurred between the fiery sword and the Bijuudama.

Both combatants looked at the clashing forces intently, one grinning triumphantly and the other scowling as the sword began to dissipate and stagger back before cracking completely as the tailed beast ball cleaved a path straight through it and hit Susanoo's armored chest dead on. The shockwaves of the impact resulted in brutal winds; and suddenly they were thrown apart. Sasuke was sent crashing into a wall while Naruto was sent down into a deep hole in the ground. When the explosion died down both were extremely weak and low on power. Sasuke got up, angrily whispering, "Over and over... and over... and over... and over... AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! JUST GIVE UP AND LET ME CUT YOU DOWN!" He finished yelling.

Naruto looked up at him. "Can't do that. Because I'm your one and only friend!" Naruto replied. The Uchiha's left hand then came alive, crackling with visible Raiton chakra. In the center of the gathering was a black orb of flames.

"As expected, he's used the chakra I infused for you and assimilated it to make it his own, Chidori as well as flame control... Sasuke is planning to end this. I'll give you some me chakra but be careful, your body can't handle much more as it is right now. Make it count and don't release your jutsu till the last minute to ensure he doesn't absorb any more chakra from you, though that might not be possible since he is rather new at using his new ocular abilities." Kurama warned.

Naruto smiled gently, and raised his fist to Kurama. The fox smirked and tapped it with his own, and begun to fall asleep. Sasuke jumped off towards Naruto with the threatening technique in his hand. The Uzumaki flew at him with an outstretched hand. As he neared the Uchiha, chakra began to materialize and gather in wisps, forming an orb where chakra rotated violently within.

"NARUTO" Sasuke screamed.

"SASUKE" Naruto yelled.

As they drew closer and closer from both their point of views they saw each other as they were growing up. They were then close enough, and suddenly thrust their arms forward and their jutsu collided with one another. Then there was an explosion of light, and Naruto was smirking in victory.

Flashback end

"And that is how Sasuke and I lost our arms." Naruto told his dad.

Minato nodded his head, "I'm proud tat you stuck to your convictions son." he said with a smile on his lips.

Naruto nodded, "Well I guess since I got my answer I no longer need to doubt what they have been telling me." Naruto said as he glanced back at the two goddesses. He turned back to his father, "Thanks for at least telling me the truth dad." he said.

Minato shook his head, "I shouldn't have hid it from you to begun with." he admitted to his son before he smiled, "And I at least have something to tell Kushina when I see her next time." he said.

"Aren't you a god?" his son questioned.

"I am the mortal soul created from my desire to walk among the people. My immortal form already knows what happened as it and I are mentally linked when I am in the physical world. I however am still a dead mortal unlike my other self." Minato explained.

Naruto nodded at that, "Makes sense I guess." he admitted.

Minato cleared his throat, "With that out of the way, I suppose it is time that the four of you left." he said.

"Why is that?" Athena asked him.

"Zeus already knows about Sasuke since my immortal self just informed him about the boy." he informed them, "He also wants to have him brought over to Earth as well." he told her getting a nod.

"Very well." Artemis said.

"well I best be undoing the Reanimation Jutsu. I will see you soon Naruto." he said as he flashed through seals, "Until then take care of yourself." he said as his body crumbled away to reveal the dead Zetsu Clone.

Naruto smiles at the spot his father was, "I will, dad." he promised.
